The Era of Emerald

Chapter 136 The Battle of Highbury

() "Counterattack! Fiorentina's chance! Arsenal lads, come on! Don't let the damn Italian's scheme succeed!" Just as Effenberg broke the ball, Zhuang Mingge's earphones heard the live commentator exclamation.

"Hey, is such a tendentious commentary okay?" Zhuang Mingge asked Karin very depressed.

In exchange for Zhuang Mingge's question, Karin rolled her eyes: "Isn't it normal for a commentator to have a team he supports? Moreover, such a tendency can attract the attention of fans, and if it creates controversy, it can also improve the TV station's reputation." Popularity, how could anyone not be happy?"

"..." Zhuang Mingge was speechless. He remembered that Huang Jianxiang's "shocking roar" was criticized by countless "bricks and beasts" at the World Cup in Germany. Liu xx even said that "soccer commentary should not be subjective. ", what idiotic logic is this!

You said that two foreign teams are playing a game, and the commentator of the Chinese Dynasty tends to favor one of them. Is there anything unforgivable about this?It's not that the Chinese national team is playing...

If you have time to find fault with the commentator's tendency, it is better to strengthen the training of commentators. When Zhuang Mingge heard some people commentate, he would just watch the game in silence...

Just as Zhuang Mingge complained about China's commentary style, Djorkaeff had already dribbled the ball to the front of Arsenal's penalty area, and behind him was Arsenal's captain Adams who kept making interference moves.

Djorkaeff secretly scanned the surroundings with the corner of his eye, and found that the opponent's defenders were all moving closer to him, trying to resolve the crisis in time.But the Frenchman didn't give Arsenal this chance. When he rushed to the top of the penalty area, he suddenly stopped and turned around. Adams behind him couldn't brake in time, and rushed directly to the head, pulling a little distance from the Frenchman.Djokaf took advantage of this opportunity and swung his right foot to attack the goal.

At this time, there were no other players blocking the goal of the home team except Adams and Seaman. Seeing that it was all right, Adams hurriedly used a flying shovel to try to stop Djorkaeff's shot.

Just when Adams's toes were about to touch the ball, Djorkaf, who made a shot, touched the ball with his right foot first. However, Djorkaf did not shoot, but...

"Djorkaf! Shot!" The commentator supporting the home team yelled nervously, but quickly changed his words, "No! This is not a door! It's a fake shot! Djokaf is attracting everyone The Arsenal defender got the attention and pushed the ball across with his right foot!"

Batty easily received Djorkaeff's cross pass, paused for a while, glanced at Seaman who was still standing in front of the goal, and calmly kicked a goal with his right foot close to the ground!

"It's Batistuta! It's Batistuta following from behind! He shot!"

Seaman interfered as much as he could. He threw himself in the direction of the ball, but he was still a step behind who had been focusing on Djorkaeff before.

"The goal is scored! Beautiful pass! Beautiful goal! Batistuta! The 26-year-old Argentine striker is Fiorentina's top scorer this season, but the Arsenal players seem to have ignored his goal just now. Existence, so Batty used a powerful shot to help Fiorentina take the lead in the away game!" Even if they supported Arsenal, the commentator had to praise Batty for the goal at this time, "Being behind at home, The scene is passive, Arsenal has reached the edge of danger!"

Graham stood expressionlessly on the sidelines. Perhaps, the head coach who has been on the cusp recently, at the moment Batty scored, he had already realized that his coaching career at Arsenal would end in this The season has come to an end...

The game is still going on, perhaps except for Graham and some Arsenal players who have become impatient, many people including Zhuang Mingge can use a more relaxed attitude.Enjoy this game now.

After leading the score, the mentality of Fiorentina's defensive players is obviously more relaxed, and it is becoming more and more difficult for Arsenal players to get scoring opportunities.

Although the Arsenal people were still bravely attacking Fiorentina's gate amidst the encouragement of the home fans and the voices of everyone, they failed again and again.After the goal, Fiorentina's counterattack became more impressive: Effenberg and Djorkaeff's exquisite cooperation in the middle, and the rapid advancement of the overall formation, made Arsenal's defense in a mess.

Fiorentina's efficient counterattack also allowed the Arsenal fans sitting in the stands to appreciate the essence of traditional Italian football.Even Fiorentina's well-organized, well-organized and alternative art chain defense made Arsenal fans realize for the first time what Italian-style defense is, and they exclaimed.

"Oh, my God! I never thought that the defense can play so well...Although I am a fan of Arsenal and Graham, I have to tell you with great regret that maybe Mr. Hillwood should consider Let’s hire an Italian head coach, our defense is not at the same level as Fiorentina’s.”

Although they are becoming more and more impatient emotionally, the Arsenal players with rich experience in European wars still retain the last bit of clarity in their hearts. They know very well that if the team cannot win a victory at Highbury, then the next Arsenal, who will play away in the round, will have very little hope of a comeback.

Graham, who had been standing still on the sidelines, also responded at this moment. Taking advantage of an opportunity for Arsenal to get a set kick in the frontcourt, Mawson was called to the sidelines by him. Players are dispatched to the field, ready to make a last-ditch effort.

In front of the desperate Arsenal, Fiorentina's defensive pressure began to increase, the players' defensive actions became less gentle, and difficult defensive actions such as tackles began to appear frequently.

After all, the defensive method of tackling is the last hole card of the defensive players. Once this action is made, it means that the opponent must be stopped, otherwise it is easy to give the opponent a single-handed shot. It is also easy to give the opponent some free kicks in the frontcourt.

The Arsenal players also made full use of these opportunities, and the successive header bombings made Toldo the busiest person in the stadium for a while.

However, the Arsenal people were obviously unlucky. In the last 15 minutes of the game, they won a total of eight set kicks, but did not score a goal.

In the end, Fiorentina defeated the defending champion Arsenal [-]-[-] in the first round of the semi-final of the Cup Winners Cup, taking a solid step towards the final.
