155: Sure enough, he is still the same, he has not changed at all!
Today’s starting lineups for both teams are as follows:
Home team Arsenal, head coach Emery, formation 3412
Cech
Three central defenders from left to right Monreal, Koscielny and Mustafi
Midfield four from left to right Kolasinac, Xhaka, Ramsey and Maitland-Niles
Single front waist goldfish eye

Courtois
Three central defenders from left to right Romagnoli, Dias and Akanji
Midfield four from left to right Alphonso Davies, Joan Armene, Goretzka and Reece James
Single attacking midfielder Pellegrini
Double forward Haaland and Lautaro
Did you see that in this game, Emery made very big changes, directly changing the formation, and also playing a three-centre-back system. Obviously this is to strengthen the control of the midfield, especially for
Goretzka's Control.
However, at the beginning of the game, AC Milan turned against the away team and pressed crazy high, which still gave Arsenal a lot of pressure. Arsenal's formation couldn't help but be compressed, and there were many dangers in front of the goal.
This did not surprise the Arsenal fans in the stands at all.
In their view, Emery's team is indeed inferior to Tong Yi's team, and it is reasonable for them to be suppressed at the beginning. However, he still hopes that Arsenal's players will perform better.
At least it shouldn't be so easy to lose, and it doesn't seem like the gap between the two teams is so big!
But to be honest, Emery's Arsenal seems to have failed to meet even this requirement!
As soon as the game started, they were suppressed.
And just now, AC Milan's wing attack was very smooth. Pellegrini in the midfield gave the ball to James who was advancing forward with a diagonal kick. James did not stop the ball and directly kicked the pass.
The football flew quickly into Arsenal's penalty area. Haaland jumped high in the penalty area, but unfortunately he did not hit the football. The football was beaten out by Cech who was attacking, and Monreal took the lead.
His foot kicked the football out of the sideline and the clearance was successful.
Seeing this, Emery's expression was also very serious.
Because he saw it, this guy Tong Yi saw his plan, so he directly replaced Pellegrini with stronger organizational ability in this game. When they focused on defense against Goretzka,
More football comes to Pellegrini's feet. Pellegrini's range of activities in the midfield is also very large. Compared to Goretzka, Pellegrini is now more like AC Milan's
Combination core.
Emery's face was very ugly. His pre-match arrangement was completely seen through, and he was caught off guard.
At this time, AC Milan's midfielder stole the ball again. Joan Armene ignored Goretzka beside him and did not pass the football to Pellegrini, but passed the ball to
Wing.
Davis, who was running forward from the wing, immediately caught the ball and passed it directly.
I thought of Niles. Niles was too young and was immediately blown away. This made Emery on the sidelines very unhappy and dissatisfied.
We are both young people, why is the gap so big?
Niles, would you like to take a good look at these peers across from you?
Even Niles is older than some of AC Milan's main players, but he plays like Niles is more like a young man. At least in this defense, Niles was easily defeated by Davis.
It exploded, and Davis rushed out quickly, holding the ball quickly and heading to the wing.
Arsenal's right center back Mustafi immediately rushed out and pounced on Davis!
As soon as he saw this, Emery became nervous and realized that something was wrong!
Before he could open his mouth and shout out, Davis, who was pretending to be at the bottom, suddenly lifted the football toward the center with the outside of his instep. The football rolled quickly between Mustafi's legs, and then quickly rolled in.
Arsenal's penalty area!
Mustafi was shocked. When he saw Davis changing direction, he immediately pounced on Davis and grabbed Davis's arm with both hands.
The huge pulling force directly pulled the forward Davis into the penalty area!
With a snap, Emery slapped himself directly on the forehead. As soon as he saw Mustafi's action, he knew something was going to happen. This guy is still so reckless, this defense is really too risky. Of course
You can also say that he was indeed very decisive in this attack.
It's a pity that he was also played by the young Davis.
When Mustafi saw Davis rushing into the penalty area and directly facing goalkeeper Petr Cech, he immediately resorted to fouling.
It's a pity that he didn't react until he encountered Davis. Davis, who was speeding over, stepped into the penalty area.
A foul at this time means a penalty kick!
Sure enough, the referee blew his whistle without hesitation, pointed to the penalty spot, and showed Mustafi a yellow card.
Cech was very dissatisfied and roared directly at Mustafi, "I said, don't foul, I'm here!"
Cech was really speechless. He was extremely dissatisfied with Mustafi.
He was deceived by Mustafi last season, and he had already made up his mind to retire at that time. Moreover, this time happened to be when coach Wenger left Arsenal. He felt that leaving at this time was a very big mistake.
Good timing. Moreover, the club also introduced Leno and has backup talents, so he is already retiring.
Unexpectedly, the club came forward to persuade him to stay, and also stated that this was one of the requirements for the new head coach Emery's signing, that is, Cech cannot retire, at least not this season!
After all, he has just joined the team, and it is very important to have an excellent goalkeeper in front of the goal.
And Aimee
Here, they personally came forward to persuade Cech, and Cech finally forced Tong Yi to play for another year.
But this Mustafi really left him speechless, especially when facing strong teams, Mustafi is really prone to making unnecessary mistakes!
What's more important is that this guy can also blame others.
Just now, Mustafi started to direct traffic with open hands, indicating that he was helpless about the ball. It had nothing to do with him. He had to pounce to intercept it. It would be dangerous if he didn't intercept it.
.
Cech was speechless about Mustafi's performance of passing the blame!
He didn't bother to say anything anymore, because he knew it was useless!
He also spread his hands and expressed his helplessness. He seemed to be telling Emery that this is why I want to retire. Now this has strengthened my idea of retiring!
To be honest, Tong Yi was also a little surprised!
He thought that Cech would retire at the end of last season. After all, Arsenal also introduced Leno to replace him. Who knew that Cech stayed on and continued to play for another season.
Seeing Cech's reaction now, Tong Yi couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile. He felt that Cech must have ten thousand horses galloping past in his heart at this moment!
Penalty kick, AC Milan got the chance to take a penalty kick in the 9th minute of the first half.
This is a good opportunity for AC Milan to take the lead, and it is also an opportunity for many media reporters to believe that AC Milan is about to kill the suspense of the game!
After all, in the first leg of the match between the two sides, AC Milan already led Arsenal 3-1. If another goal is scored at this time, the total score will reach 4-1, which will lead Arsenal by three goals. And it is an away game.
The goal disadvantage will also be equalized, and Arsenal will be completely pushed into the corner.
No wonder some Arsenal fans want to leave the game at this time. What is going on here?
Especially Mustafi, what are you doing with your hands? Isn’t this your problem?
Of course, this ball also has Niles' problem, but your problem is bigger?
Cech has already reminded you loudly not to foul, but you still foul? Aren't you giving them a penalty kick?
At this time, some people are wondering whether Mustafi is undercover. Could it be that you were bribed by Tong Yi?
Anyway, the current Arsenal fans really don’t understand, and their minds are full of doubts.
Even at this time, some people have started to criticize Mustafi, because this is not the first time Mustafi has done this. Now they all understand Cech, why Cech wants to retire, and he can’t do it without retiring?
!
Mustafi still showed his hands, saying that he really had no problem. He didn't intend to foul at the time. He made a very accurate judgment. He believed in his judgment, so he jumped out immediately. He believed that he could
Completed the steal. Who knew how Davis would react?
Soon, he actually pushed the football inward with the outside of his instep, breaking through his defense. If he didn't foul, the ball would be a one-man goal. He had no choice!
And he saw Davis outside the penalty area at that time, so he committed the foul. Who knew that Davis had already entered the penalty area when he met Davis? Fouling in the penalty area was not his original intention!
Also, he didn't believe Cech could save the one-on-one ball, so the chance of a foul was greater at this time.
At least Cech still has a chance to save the penalty kick, so you can save the ball with careful preparation and have a greater chance.
If Cech knew what Mustafi was thinking, he would definitely give Mustafi a "Thank you!"
Cech went directly to the penalty spot and faced AC Milan's penalty!
On AC Milan's side, it was the young Haaland who took the penalty kick. This was beyond everyone's expectations. They all thought that this ball would be played by an experienced guy like Goretzka. They did not expect that it would be an experienced guy.
Young people!
But Cech did not underestimate Haaland, because he knew very well how powerful the little guy in front of him was!
Haaland is currently the top scorer in the AC Milan team, and last season this guy also scored 20 goals in all competitions in England. He is a capable shooter. If you don't pay attention to it,
He is definitely going to have a problem.
Therefore, at this time, Cech was fully focused and staring at the football on the penalty spot.
At this moment, the referee blew a whistle. Harland took a deep breath, then quickly took a run, rushed to the football, and then hit the football hard with one kick. The football seemed to be ejected from the chest.
The cannonball flew directly into the upper right corner of the goal!
This ball is so fast, like a bolt of lightning!
Cech in front of the goal immediately reacted to the opponent's shooting angle. He also dived sideways immediately, but still did not touch the football because the ball was too fast and powerful. Waiting for him
After the action was made, the football had already hit the lower edge of the crossbar of the center goal, and then bounced hard into the goal he was guarding.
One to zero, AC Milan leads Arsenal one to zero in the away game at the Emirates Stadium!
The Arsenal fans at the scene were speechless when they saw this and shook their heads. Is it necessary to continue watching this game? Can Arsenal complete a three-goal reversal? They themselves don't believe it!
Seeing this, Emery was also very unhappy. He threw the tactical board in his hand to the ground with a crisp sound. He was really speechless. How did the game end up like this? This start was too bad.
Too bad, we conceded a goal right from the start. How are we going to play in the rest of the game?
However, at this time, he did not blame the players. Instead, he immediately rushed to the sidelines and reminded the Arsenal players not to pay too much attention to the conceded goal. The game had just begun. There was plenty of time for the game, as long as they were there.
After scoring three more goals in the next game, they can still draw with AC Milan. Arsenal still have a chance!
