Chapter 508 We Really Beat Arsenal!

In the second half of the game, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Although behind by two goals, York City is still based on doing a good job of defense and is not in a hurry to attack.

It's just that the difference from the first half is that York City's four midfielders seem to have strengthened the harassment and interception of Arsenal's double midfielders, especially Xhaka.

"Xhaka is a player with extremely distinct advantages and disadvantages. Not to mention the advantages, his performance in the first half was reflected."

During the intermission, Pan Yi also came to the locker room for the second time this season and talked with the players about his views.

"But he also has obvious weaknesses, I played against him in the Bundesliga, so it's clear."

"Xhaka's mobility is not strong, and the speed at his feet is slow, which also makes his interception area not very large."

"If we can widen the space on both sides, we can avoid his fierce pressing, and instead create a local superior force to grab him. After all, we have more people in the midfield than they do. "

"Another point is that Xhaka's ability to control fouls is poor, and sometimes he will receive cards and even give points as if he was drunk. If he can continue to exert high pressure, it may be possible to detonate this powder keg."

Now, the York City players are following Pan Yi's advice and implementing such instructions on the field.

Whenever Xhaka takes the ball, whether it is Alonso or Rice, they will go up to interfere immediately, and then Lin Liangming or Kulusevsky next to him will also come to assist and grab the ball at Xhaka's feet.

In today's game, Xhaka's midfield partner Ramsey will go forward more to organize the offense, so Arsenal's real defensive midfielder is actually Xhaka alone;
In the absence of protection, Xhaka's foot skills are not enough for him to get rid of two or even three people's siege.

In this way, York City was also able to grab the ball from Xhaka's feet several times, and then make a fuss from the "rib-bottom corner" space.

In other words, due to the smaller coverage of Xhaka, York City's wingers can attack from the ribs, pass the bottom, and then play a high ball; at the same time, the winger can also cut inside because of Xhaka's poor rib protection. Goal or send a threatening ball.

And when Xhaka is intercepted or out of position, what is the way to deal with it?step down.

But because of his slow speed, the York City player may have taken the ball forward when he kicked, so he often missed the ball and kicked the opponent's foot.

After the referee warned Xhaka several times, he couldn't bear to show him a yellow card.

On the sidelines, Wenger saw that his "little card-eating prince" seemed to be a little impatient again, and quickly began to call the substitute jackal player Holding to go on the field to replace Xhaka.

You must know that the red and yellow cards in the FA Cup are not only counted in the FA Cup, it is connected with the Premier League.

In other words, if Xhaka gets another yellow card and is sent off, he will not be able to play in the next round against Chelsea!

But at this moment, the situation on the court suddenly changed.

Today, York City's right midfielder Kulusevski cooperated with Rice outside the penalty area and successfully intercepted the ball from Xhaka again.

When he took the ball and was about to turn around and prepare to dribble forward, Xhaka used a fierce sliding tackle from behind to shovel Kulusevski out of the sideline.

And when Xhaka stood up from the ground, looked at Kulusevski who fell to the ground, shrugged indifferently, and was about to walk away.

The place where the incident happened happened to be in the coach command area of ​​York City, and the head coach Scaloni was nearby. When he saw it, he was furious, rushed up and pushed Xhaka hard.

And Xhaka did not show any weakness, got up from the ground, and punched Scaloni.

Players and coaches from both sides also gathered around one after another. Fortunately, the chief referee on duty reacted quickly enough, and together with the assistant referee separated the personnel from both sides, thus avoiding a group brawl on the field.

"Let's see how the referee will judge? Although Xhaka's action is too big, Scaloni's impulse should still pay the price, and Xhaka's subsequent punching action also looks a bit serious... ..."

"Oh, red cards! Two red cards! The referee on duty showed Xhaka and Scaloni each a red card! In this way, both Xhaka and Scaloni were sent off!"

"Arsenal's players seemed to be very dissatisfied around the referee and wanted to ask for an explanation, but the referee signaled that they had better stabilize their emotions and continue to draw cards! This also made the Arsenal players retreat, Wenger Pull them too."

"Oh my God, no one thought that York City would receive a red card today. This is also the first red card York City has received in this season! And it turned out to be the head coach Scaloni! This is also Scaloni, who has always shown a refined image, received a red card for the first time as a coach."

"So many firsts at the Emirates Stadium at the same time, it seems that this is bound to be an unforgettable game." Lineker explained with a smile, "But from York City's point of view, with a It seems to be a good deal for the head coach to replace a player of the opponent..."

In the stands, Pan Yi also couldn't laugh or cry.

He thought that after he made the players press Xhaka harder, Xhaka would lose control and get a card.

The result was just as Pan Yi thought—sure enough, whether Xhaka was in Borussia or Arsenal, he couldn't escape the "card master" personality.

But what I didn't expect was that Xhaka would end up in this way.

Scaloni's limit is one for one.

But it doesn't matter.

If it was in the past, now York City only has a rookie coach like Kaski on the sidelines, it might be a little worrying;
But now, assistant coach De Zelby's ability is not weak!

Just let him direct the game, there is no problem at all.

"Is Kulusevski okay?" On the sidelines, De Zerby, as the first assistant coach, has already begun to perform his duties as a temporary head coach.

"It's okay, the team doctor said there's nothing serious!" Kaski replied.

"Very good. When he comes back on the field, let him play right winger and Lin Liangming play left winger. We will fight them with 4-2-4!"

"Oh. Huh?" Kaski was stunned, but he also understood De Zelby's meaning.

Now that Arsenal has one less player on the field, it is a good time for York City to fight back!

So De Zelby directly changed to 4-2-4, using the most violent artillery fire to bomb Arsenal's goal!
Soon, York City's changes also caught Lineker's attention.

"Ah, after York City coach Scaloni left the field, De Zelby, who took over his coach, changed his formation directly. Now York City has four forwards attacking? They are planning to fight Arsenal. ?"

"This De Zerby, who used to coach in a low-level league in Italy, can be said to be unknown. But Pan Yi still went to Italy in person and invited him over."

"Before we may not know what is so special about this coach. Today is the time for him to prove his strength. Perhaps Pan Yi is so accurate in seeing people, not only the players, but also the coach..."

After Scaloni and Xhaka were sent off, the game between the two sides became full of gunpowder. The game was going on fiercely among various fouls and fighting, and the referee whistled one after another.

However, due to the numerical disadvantage, Wenger did not let Holding play for the time being, but let Iwobi retreat and Ramsey formed a double midfield configuration to ensure the balance of offense and defense in the midfield.

But this led to the loss of a midfielder, which greatly reduced Arsenal's offensive firepower, and York City could also free up their hands to devote more energy to the offense.

Soon, York City ushered in an opportunity!
Chamberlain moved to the middle to get the ball, but was cut off by Rice, who raised his head to pass, but looked up and saw Arsenal players in front.

"Give me the ball!" Alonso's voice sounded beside Rice.

Of course you have to listen to what Big Brother says.Rice pushed the ball without hesitation, and it was pushed to Alonso's feet.

At the same time, a shout sounded from the front: "This way! This way!"

That was Amon running forward desperately, shouting.

Alonso passed it almost without thinking.

The ball drew a wonderful arc, passed over everyone's heads, and went straight to Amon's direction.

Amon ran forward desperately, like a black lightning, piercing through Arsenal's defense line, even though the ball was about to go out, he still didn't slow down.

In the end, the ball was intercepted by Amon before the bottom line, and he knocked the ball back before Monreal who returned to defend. Kulusevski, who was inserted in the middle, rushed to the corner and passed the ball with a curve. restricted area.

Mark Baker, the tall striker, was still advancing towards the Arsenal penalty area while Amon was desperately chasing the ball.

So when Kulusevski passed the ball, when everyone thought no one was responding, he suddenly jumped ahead of Gabriel, who was not paying attention, and dived to the top.

The ball was too close to the goal, Arsenal goalkeeper Ospina could do nothing but watch the ball go straight in, and then Baker immediately hugged the football from the net and ran to the center circle.

2: 1!

At the 75th minute of the game, York City relied on their unremitting fighting spirit to tenaciously regain a point!
This goal completely brought out the momentum and fighting spirit of York City.

In the last 20 minutes, especially in the last 10 minutes, York City seemed to be playing crazy, bombarding Arsenal's penalty area indiscriminately, and all Arsenal fans in the entire Emirates Stadium became quiet. The [-] York City fans who came all the way sat high in the stands, shouting loudly to cheer for the team.

"Come on, York City!"

"Fuck Arsenal!"

"We can win!"

Although there are only 3000 people, the momentum of shouting is not lost to the Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium.

The game began to enter the stoppage time period. Since a fight broke out on the field before, the stoppage time this time will be slightly longer, and 5 minutes will be added.

In the 91st minute, Alonso stole the ball and passed the ball to Kulusevski. The latter looked up and passed it obliquely to the back of Arsenal's defense.

In this game, the teenager Niles, who was a little uncomfortable by Alfonso Davis and couldn't find the north, failed to keep up with the Canadian trapeze this time.

Kulusevski's pass was just in time for Alfonso Davies to hit the right spot, and Niles could only watch as Alfonso Davies made a deep pass middle.

Mustafi headed the ball out of the penalty area and landed at the feet of Kulusevski near the arc of the penalty area.

Since Alfonso Davis' cross just now attracted all Arsenal players into the penalty area, no one was marking Kulusevski near the arc of the penalty area, and the latter kicked without hesitation.

The ball hit Arsenal's goal like a cannonball!
2: 2!

Kulusevski equalized for York City in the 91st minute!
The visitors' stands where the York City fans gathered burst into the most enthusiastic cheers since the game!
"It's amazing, it's incredible, it's a miracle!" Lineker obviously became very excited:
"Would it be a terrific goal? After Xhaka went off for a stupid red card, Arsenal and York City played completely reversed. York City looked like a Premier League team and Arsenal. More like a League One team!"

"Although they played one more player, York City's performance still made people feel bright. They did not lose the wind in front of Arsenal, which is known for their skills. Through beautiful cooperation, they once again penetrated Arsenal's goal!"

"If such a score is maintained until the end, they will probably move to York City's West Siberia Stadium in a week's time for a rematch!"

"This is obviously not good news for Arsenal, who are still fighting hard for the fourth place. Ah... wait... wait! Let's watch this ball!"

At this time, there was another burst of warm cheers in the stands, which came from the fans stands of the visiting team York City.

After the kick-off at Arsenal, Beck, Armang, Lin Liangming and Kulusevski from York City rushed forward almost at the same time.

Iwobi, who was holding the ball, was a little flustered and wanted to pass the ball across to Chamberlain, but Amon sped it up and cut it off!
"Now Amon is dribbling forward and looking at the middle, it seems that he is going to pass the ball."

"Oh, it wasn't a pass, but he chose to continue to rush forward! He dribbled the ball very fast and entered Arsenal's half. This sudden move completely disrupted Arsenal's defensive formation, and they would not be able to kill them." I believe that opposing players dared to single-handedly dribble into their half."

"Several Arsenal players gathered around. At this moment, Amon suddenly chose to pass the ball! He passed the ball to Lin Liangming who was keeping up with him. The latter crossed the ball to Alonso. After stopping the ball, Alonso directly stuffed it into Behind the opponent's right back!"

"At this point even left-back Alfonso Davies has rushed up! He suddenly accelerates, catches the ball, crosses!"

"Goal in!" Lineker yelled, "York City scored again, the second goal in three minutes! Scored for York by high center Baker, his close-range header again Disarm Arsenal goalkeeper Ospina!"

"It was a very good attack! We can see, from the sudden rush forward of the four forwards, to the follow-up and through pass of Alonso, and then to the cross pass of Alfonso Davies, This seems to be premeditated, York City has obviously practiced this tactic!"

"York City overtook the score 3:2, and they will advance to the fourth round of the FA Cup!"

The fans at the scene didn't care about anything else, they only knew that the team was ahead!
So they sang and cheered one by one, and one by one used singing, cheering, cheering and applause to support the players fighting on the court.

Especially the star player Alonso who just joined in Dongchuang, although he did not contribute a direct assist in this goal, but without his accurate through ball, this goal would definitely not have been possible!

Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger shook his hand angrily after Baker scored, looking like he wanted to eat a zipper.

In the stands, Pan Yi and Scaloni, who was sent off, also stood up and hugged each other tightly.

Of course they have practiced this tactic.

And this crazy dog-style tactic of forcing the opponent to kick-off is really effective!

Moreover, scoring a goal through such a tactic at the end of the game is even more exciting! ——
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Emirates Stadium fell silent for a moment, only the fans of York City in the visiting team's stands were singing and dancing, releasing the excitement and pride after the victory to their heart's content.

As a League One team, they actually beat the giants Arsenal in an away game. What could be happier and boost the team's morale?
On the court, the players rushed in in a swarm, celebrating crazily there, looking more excited and excited than winning the championship.

The live TV footage was also shown on the sidelines, and it was found that Wenger, who was in front of the coach of the home team, shook hands with the opponent's coach and then left the field depressingly.

"In this game, Wenger may still be a little careless."

"He used half of the rotation, which should be enough for a League One team."

"But he seems to have forgotten that today's League One team is called York City, and the owner of York City is Pan Yi, who has defeated him several times!"

"Wenger not only has to taste the bitter fruit of defeat today, but also bears the consequences of losing Xhaka against Chelsea three days later. Who would have thought that after leaving Chelsea, Pan Yi could still help his old club in this way?"

"Well, maybe Arsenal's exit in the FA Cup is not a bad thing. In terms of their existing bench thickness, it would be more practical to focus on the league's fourth place."

The camera switched to the coach of the visiting team. At this time, Pan Yi and Scaloni had already walked into the field, hugged the coaching staff, and celebrated the team's hard-won victory.

"Let us also congratulate Pan Yi, Scaloni, and York City for such a thrilling victory!"

"York City has played an impressive offensive football this season. And tonight, at the Emirates Stadium, York City used a victory against the Premier League giants Arsenal to prove to everyone that this League One team, Fully qualified to hit the British Championship!"

"Considering Pan Yi's appeal, as well as the current excellent coaching staff, and the growth of young players, it will not be surprising even if they can make it all the way to the Premier League."

"After Scaloni was sent off, their assistant coach De Zerby even showed the style of a general, directly commanding the team to play a beautiful counterattack!"

"York City is still very young, but it is amazing enough. I hope this team can continue to rush forward, continue to rush forward, and bring more exciting games to the fans!"
-
York City's victory over Arsenal, of course, became the focus of major media reports on the second day.

This is mainly because this round of the FA Cup did not actually have a big upset, so this game is even more eye-catching!

像曼城是以5:0轻取西汉姆联队,而曼联则是4:0击败雷丁,切尔西也是4:1拿下彼得堡联队,热刺是2:0击败阿斯顿维拉,纷纷都顺利晋级。

That is to say, Liverpool's failure to beat Plymouth from the second division is a bit unpopular, but they did not lose after all, so they were not eliminated.

The 0:0 score gave Liverpool a chance to win the rematch.

But Arsenal is different, being beaten by the League One team York City!And it also lost soldiers and generals, which directly affected the London derby with Chelsea. It really lost my wife and lost soldiers.

"Can York City keep going? Will they be able to advance in League One and the FA Cup at the same time?"

"In 1980, West Ham United upset Arsenal and created a miracle that the second-tier team in the history of the FA Cup won the championship-hey, why is it Arsenal again?"

"But since then, no English second-tier team or below has ever won the FA Cup. Does this year's York City hope to create such a miracle?"

"In 2013, Wigan Athletic defeated Manchester City 1-0 in the final and became the first team in history to win the FA Cup as a relegated team. This is also the last team that can be called an upset team to win the championship Case in point. I wish I could see a show like this in York City!"

Amidst such discussions, the draw ceremony for the fourth round of the FA Cup was also completed.

The winner of Liverpool and Plymouth will face Wolves, while Chelsea will face "The Little Bee" Brentford.

Manchester City take on Crystal Palace and Manchester United take on Wigan Athletic.

I don't know if they were targeted. York City's luck is obviously not very good. They once again drew a strong Premier League team.

This time they are going to face Tottenham Hotspur!
