The Premier League arsenal, the king of thermos cups

Chapter 157 A Halftime Tie
Looking at the scene, Zhou Yang couldn't help frowning.

Not for conceding the ball.

It's that they haven't scored yet.

From the fact that Giroud was able to follow up and score several times, it can be felt that when Sunderland made a sudden cross from them or followed up with the second point, the opponent's defense was negligent. Perhaps this is why Sunderland scored so many goals. Because of the own goals, other teams scored two own goals a season a lot, and they have scored 6 so far, which is enough to explain the confusion of defense.

It's a pity that Giroud has not succeeded in grabbing points today.

They have a smooth rhythm here, playing against Sunderland almost the whole time, with a high ball possession rate, and even the number of shots is approaching double numbers.

But he didn't score yet, and Zhou Yang felt a little anxious.

Just as Zhou Yang was analyzing the situation on the court and thinking about how he should play in the second half, there was a burst of offense on the court.

The opponent's full-back Van Aanholt dribbled the ball and passed it to the midfielder Defoe. When the two were ready to play from the wing, they successfully pressed the ball back. Bellerin and the opponent got out of the baseline .

into their throw-in.

Bellerin quickly threw it out and gave it to Cazorla, who sent a straight kick to Walcott. When the opposite side retreated to defend, Walcott relied on his own speed to quickly pull to the side.

But in the end, after Walcott brought to the right side of the front of the penalty area, he stopped, and the opposite defense had successfully retreated.

Walcott crossed the ball to Wilshere in the middle, who circled around with his left foot guard, and then suddenly passed it in to Walcott.

This cooperation came from the fact that after Walcott crossed, Wilshere faced Defoe and Wickham who had retreated back, took the ball around and faced the penalty area again, and then sent it in to the penalty area. Walcott on the right!
Walcott was almost side by side with the opposition back four on the side of the penalty area.

For a time, Sunderland's defense was also quickly recovered.

Walcott is also simple and neat, and crosses the middle again with his foot!

The ball was passed by Walcott as soon as he took it, and the full-back Van Aanholt had no time to block it.
When the defense came up, the goalkeeper fell to the ground first, almost facing Walcott and fell to the ground to hold the ball.

However, the ball was too fast, after bouncing, he didn't hold it, and let it go!

Giroud next to another central defender Coates, picked up the miss and hit the ball into the goal!
boom!
The ball went in! !
Instant tie! !
Welbeck screamed for a while!

Zhou Yang also got up and roared, clapping his hands.

The cross from the right is really good in the face of this kind of defense.

After the first kick failed to destroy and let the ball leak between the central defender and the goalkeeper, Sunderland's defense line began to be difficult to handle. This kind of ball is not easy to handle.

Wenger also quickly jumped up on the sidelines.

Walcott and Wilshere, it’s not a problem to use them for rotation. Sunderland is not a high-pressure press. They play from the wing and then cooperate with the frontcourt. They retreat quickly without the ball. The defense is prone to confusion. , Wilshere and Walcott are strong in offense and weak in defense. They have no injuries or physical problems recently. If they are not restricted in offense, they are completely the same as others.

For Sunderland's defense, the best way is to find Giroud with a cross, but Giroud didn't seize the opportunity today. Fortunately, Walcott stepped forward and made a quick pass, which made Sunderland's defense too late.

Ramsey stopped and replaced Wilshere in case there was a Ramsey in the midfielder who could make adjustments just in case.

Zhou Yang is preparing to replace Cazorla, and Chamberlain is also injured. Walcott is better than Welbeck on the right.

Wenger stood on the sidelines and clenched his fists. There was not much time left in the first half, and it was already a good draw.

He plans to focus on winning today, but he doesn't plan to think too much about goal difference in this game. He will spend the next seven days resting and come back in May when everyone has a rest.

"Arsenal also came in and I thought the first half was going to be over."

"Sunderland's handling of the ball is really bad. Player ability is one thing, but it also has something to do with the arrangement. If Sunderland plays 541, I think it will be better than the current 451."

"It can't be said that, not everyone can change. Since the relegation team has set a goal, it is impossible to make changes because of a game. Players don't have enough ability to make changes, and they may die faster at that time."

"Theo Walcott and Bellerin are really good for this kind of team. After the speed increased, the two made various crosses. Sunderland's defense against the cross was a disaster. If it weren't for Giroud's state today , now there should be one more goal."

"But the efficiency is slow. If you keep playing like this, it may not be easy to score goals. Not only must Arsenal win this game, but they must win as much as possible. They are struggling in the second half? If they don't survive, forget it. If you don’t make it out, if you get scored by Sunderland again, it will really be over, and there will be no time to talk about it, and the worst thing is to fall behind.”

"Let's see if Wenger will make any changes. However, if we keep playing at the rhythm of the first half, it's not impossible."

Zhou Yang clapped hands with other teammates to celebrate.

It was the end of the first half, and if Sunderland made changes in the second half without scoring a goal, it would be even more troublesome.

Soon, at the Emirates Stadium, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the first half ended.

Arsenal's home game against Sunderland was temporarily tied 1-1.

For a while, various voices commented on the Internet, and there were endless discussions.

"Shit, Sunderland couldn't hold it for the last minute!"

"What are you afraid of? Arsenal played well today, regardless of the scene. The grasp of scoring is slack. There are few teams that end up with a rest."

"Sunderland just stopped attacking in the second half. More people watch Arsenal's right. The midfielder comes down and plays 541. Arsenal's right cross can definitely be locked."

"Today Giroud and Kirkland didn't perform very well, Sunderland is still very promising! Give him a draw!"

Zhou Yang sat on the bench.

With the schedule of three games in seven days and the status of the players, today is naturally the focus of winning. He still feels pressured to score four or five goals. Even if he was there in the first half, with the state of the striker and defense today, he wants to beat Sander by a big score. Lan, it's a bit difficult.

Giroud didn't grasp a few good opportunities. Recently, Wenger didn't have any other centers in his hands and could only use Giroud. It would be nice to say that there is someone like Lewandowski Suarez. Of course, this can't be bought. I think, in the case of Arsenal, it won't be a big problem to buy a center like Lukaku and play against weak teams this season to make a rotation.

It's a pity that no one can do the rotation.

"During the intermission, warm up your lower body." Arteta turned back and patted his chair.
