The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 617 Big Score

Arsenal, which adopted a shrinking defense, did not dare to retract too much, because Tottenham Hotspur's long-range shot from the outside of the penalty area was also very good at scoring, just like when Yaya Toure played against Manchester United, in the second half Just shoot two very high-quality long-range shots without making a sound, who would dare to give up the front of the penalty area?
In this case, the focus of defense should still be arranged within the 30-meter area, and the defense line should also be kept at the front of the penalty area.

But in this way, Tottenham Hotspur's personal abilities have room and room to play.

When Tottenham Hotspur launched an attack, Cesc Fabregas rushed the ball to the top of the penalty area, trying to find Cavani and Messi to cooperate, but the ball was stabbed by Alexander Song. Denilson is about to charge forward after taking the ball.

But when Denilson just stole the ball and went forward, David Silva, who had been guarding behind Cesc Fabregas all the time, took the ball back and snatched it back. It's a little too big for one foot.

After David Silva broke the ball, Denilson was blocked behind him, and he dribbled the ball diagonally to the right.

Alexander Song immediately followed him in the top area of ​​the arc, Squillac blocked Cavani firmly, Koscielny protected him, and left back Clichy also blocked Messi. Behind, stuck between Messi and David Silva.

But just when Arsenal's defensive players felt that their defense had been arranged very tightly, David Silva suddenly smashed the ball and got a little space from the left side of Alexander Song. Lightweight pick pass.

The height of the ball is not high, just at the height where it is difficult for Alexander Song and Koscielny to block, and the speed is relatively fast, the angle is well grasped, from the gap between the two players and Clichy Passing through, directly penetrated the entire defense line of Arsenal, and came to Messi's feet. Clichy, who was originally in the front, was blocked by Messi at this time.

In such a dense and narrow range, passing such a kick is indeed very subtle and not easy, but Arsenal's defense line is also very tightly arranged, especially the distance between the defense line and the goalkeeper is very good. .

As soon as goalkeeper Fabianski saw David Silva picking a pass, he immediately chose to attack without hesitation. Because the distance was not far, he was sure enough to prevent Messi from shooting directly.

In fact, Messi did not have enough time to shoot, because Fabianski's attack timing was too good.

But Messi is not a fuel-efficient lamp. At the critical moment, he showed his strength and value as the world's top superstar. He chose to face David Silva's challenge and pass the ball, and then gently challenged with his left foot , picked the ball over the head of Fabianski who was attacking, and then rushed past Fabianski himself, and volleyed with his left foot before Squillage who returned to defend!
With Messi's volley, the ball crashed into the net. The distance was very close, and Squillage couldn't stop it at all, 2:0!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"What's great goal!!!!!!"

Accompanied by Andy Gray's exclamation, the Tottenham Hotspur players quickly rushed out of the field. After Messi rushed out of the baseline, he turned around and faced David Silva who was rushing over. Hugging tightly, a group of people stood on the sidelines and celebrated wildly.

For everyone at Tottenham Hotspur celebrating a goal at a rival's home ground is definitely the most wonderful and magical thing to do because never again There is nothing more satisfying than scoring a goal, and I believe that at this moment, all Tottenham Hotspur fans will be celebrating goals in front of the TV.

"A very very very very subtle attack!!!"

Andy Gray looked very excited, "David Silva passed the ball beautifully, very beautifully, but at the same time, Messi's handling was equally beautiful, he volleyed the goal after picking the goalkeeper, This reflects Messi's reaction speed to deal with sudden changes in a short period of time, as well as his delicate technique, he can score goals in almost every way!"

Maybe he felt that his previous sentence was not rigorous enough, so Andy Gray quickly added another sentence, "Of course, Messi's header is indeed a big weakness, but he can use his almost magical double Feet, bring everyone mesmerized feeling, he has created surprises for us time and time again!"

The live footage also kept replaying the whole process of David Silva picking a pass and Messi picking the ball and then volleying. The whole process gave people a very relaxed feeling, and all Everyone can see that this ease is actually based on their own strong technical skills.

"The situation is too bad for Arsenal because they have to realize that now Tottenham Hotspur have played their own form, Arsenal in the first 20 minutes, there is no Putting so much defensive pressure on Tottenham, they were almost defenseless!"

"Conceding two goals in a row is definitely a painful blow for Arsenal, especially considering that the game has just started less than half an hour. If there is no way to contain the powerful Tottenham Hotspur Offensive, Tottenham Hotspur will definitely continue to score goals!"

Andy Gray made his own professional judgment. I believe that at this moment, everyone will not think that Tottenham Hotspur will let it go. This is definitely not Tottenham Hotspur's style, because this North London team What the team does best is beat you to the brink until the whistle blows at the end of the game!
After conceding consecutive goals, some of Arsenal's players were less calm, including Squillac and Alexander Song who received a yellow card in defense, but the real question is still Occurs 10 minutes after entering three.

In a one-on-one with Kompany trying to break through the defense of Tottenham Hotspur, Chamark was intercepted by Kompany, but the Arsenal striker immediately launched a counterattack, and in the process of counterattack, a Obviously, the pulling action was carried out right under the eyes of the referee, and the referee blew the foul whistle without hesitation.

"Wow, this is an obvious action to get a card. Mark has already received a yellow card. Will he get another yellow card? You know, Philip Dodd has always been known for his fairness and seriousness , this time, will you send out a red card to the players of the home team within half an hour?" Andy Gray's words were a bit suspicious of fearing the world would not be chaotic.

But obviously, the referee still didn't have such courage. In the end, he just called Chamark to his side, reprimanded him loudly, and warned the Gunners player that this was a very serious warning. Fouls, regardless of the circumstances, will be red cards.

At the same time, Philip Dodd also specially called Tottenham Hotspur captain Thiago Silva over and explained to him the reason for making this penalty. After all, this is Arsenal's home court. And Tottenham Hotspur have already led by two goals. At this time, another Arsenal player is sent off, which is a bit suspected of killing the game.

Thiago Silva has served as the captain of the team for a long time. He is very familiar with the referee's law enforcement art and standards, so he nodded to show that he can understand the referee's intentions and fully affirmed and agreed. I support it, but I hope the referee can warn Arsenal that it is better for them to make less dangerous moves.

You know, many times, Arsenal players defend in a stalking posture, while the referee sometimes sees it and doesn't blow it, and sometimes doesn't see it. After all, this kind of thing Every game is happening.

Check mark did not receive the ruby ​​good man card, which made Arsenal breathe a sigh of relief, but the serious admonition of the referee also made them a little restrained in defense, and they did not dare to pester them too much, but their strength was obviously at a disadvantage. When the morale and the situation on the field are obviously inferior to that of the opponent, the result of losing the weapon of hand-to-hand combat is that the scene is more passive.

Both Cavani and Messi scored successively. Ribery also looked very active and wanted to score the goal. After all, the other two players of the Trident have scored. If you don’t score, it will be a bit embarrassing up.

I saw Marcelo go forward once, and David Silva scored the ball to the left. After Marcelo got the ball, he attracted Sagna and knocked back to Ribery in the left corner of the penalty area. Squealer Qi rushed forward at the first time, while Ribery suddenly smashed the ball and cut inward after a false move as if he was going to the bottom.

Alexander Song, who had already returned to the penalty area, moved over immediately, and wanted to join hands with Squillage to block Ribery. After all, the most threatening thing after the inside cut was to directly hit the goal.

In fact, even in a one-on-two situation, facing the attacking direction, Ribery still took the initiative and gained his own advantage. Before Alexander Song formed the encirclement, he suddenly took a long shot and hit a strong volley from the penalty area line.

The ball was headed to the lower right corner, and goalkeeper Fabianski flew to make a save, blocking Ribéry's shot out of the goal, but Cavani quickly followed, and Koscielny's interference He hit the goal with a volley, but because the angle of the ball was not good enough, he hit a ground bounce.

At this time, Fabianski, who fell on the ground, still showed his strength, and once again blocked Cavani's low-quality shot, and resolved the crisis twice in a row, allowing Arsenal's Fans are grateful and pleasantly surprised.

But their hearts have not yet fallen, but they saw Messi appearing on the small penalty area line like a ghost, facing the ball saved by Fabianski, a volley shot, the ball Koscielny, who passed Fabianski and returned to the defense, crashed into Arsenal's goal, 3:0!

At this moment, the expressions of Tottenham Hotspur's trident are different. Cavani and Ribery are obviously regretting that this should have been their goal, but in the end it was cheaper for Messi. The Argentine who played the ball rushed up excitedly, hugged Cavani regardless of the reason, and celebrated the goal on the sidelines.

Although the three players cooperate with each other very well and have excellent team awareness, everyone hopes to perform better, whether it is Ribery and Messi, the two superstars, or the rising star Cavani. I can prove my strength with more outstanding performance and better goals.

Therefore, although they have a good relationship with each other, there is also healthy competition.

Andy Gray was very puzzled by Arsenal's defensive layout and positioning, "Look at Ribery when he cut in, Squillac and Alexander Song, plus Koscielny and Ke Rich, they all stand in a straight line, so after Ribery cuts in, if he doesn't choose to directly hit the goal, I will be surprised!"

"The main problem with Arsenal's defense is that when Tottenham Hotspur pull the ball to the wing or attack the center, their defense can effectively form a targeted defense, but when When the ball is transferred from the wing to the center, or from the center to the wing, when Arsenal's defense changes, there will be problems!"

"In the final analysis, there is a problem with the strength of the players, and there is also a factor of the head coach's defensive arrangement."

But just less than 3 minutes after Andy Gray's words, and less than 2 minutes before the last goal, Tottenham Hotspur got another chance.

Franck Ribery had just entered Arsenal's 30-meter zone and received a pass from David Silva in the center of the left side. When he saw that Arsenal's defense had not been fully set up, he suddenly accelerated and chose He dribbled the ball obliquely inward, rushed directly to the top of the penalty area, and then took a long shot from the left side.

If the game screen is fixed at this moment, you will find that in the entire screen, there are six defensive players of Arsenal appearing at the front of the penalty area, two of them are facing Ribery, and the other is looking at Kava In addition, Arteta, Denilson, Rosicky and others also returned to defend and help. The advantage in the entire 30-meter area is very obvious.

But the problem is that Ribery's long shot went straight through Fabianski's goal, 4:0!

Such a conceded goal made Wenger, who was sitting on the coaching bench of the home team, unable to sit still. He rushed to the sidelines and loudly reprimanded the players on the field. What are you thinking?
Six people defending the other two players, and let them get kicking opportunities and goals so easily?
"Arsenal's defense line is like paper. It has become riddled with holes and defenseless!" Andy Gray also felt very helpless about this. It will become such a situation that Tottenham Hotspur scored four goals in a row in just four or ten minutes.

So amazing!

Is this still a contest between the so-called two Premier League giants, two teams with the most gorgeous style of play in the Premier League, and the most advocating technology and details?Is this still the Arsenal team that staged an undefeated season and once swept Europa?

"Remember, Wenger made a prediction about his team's players at the beginning of the season. He once said that you may not know this group of young or newly joined players in the current Arsenal team, but that doesn't matter. , because after one season, you will be shocked by their strength and performance!"

Andy Gray repeated what Wenger said in an interview with the media before the season, expressing his optimistic and positive views on the new season, "Now we are really shocked, maybe Arsenal are facing some other teams in the Premier League. They had a very good performance, but we also noticed that their performance in this game shocked us very much."

"It's just that, regrettably, we believe that such a shock is not what Wenger wants to see, nor is it the kind of shock he said at the beginning, but that we are shocked that Arsenal's defense is actually So weak, so vulnerable, we even wondered, how can Wenger rely on this group of players to break into the top four in the league? Or even win the championship?"

In this game, Arsenal's defense was really terrible. Even in the whole team, it was obviously bad. They couldn't hold the ball in the frontcourt, so they lost the ball as soon as it reached the frontcourt. Tottenham The counterattack was accurate one by one, which almost made Arsenal exhausted.

"This kind of game is very beneficial to Tottenham Hotspur, because their physical consumption is not large, they are completely using their passing and receiving to pull and mobilize the Arsenal players to run, and the physical fitness of the Arsenal players The consumption is very obvious, because they can only use running to fill the gap when they can't pass and catch the ball."

Speaking of this, Andy Gray was a little sympathetic, "I hope Wenger can realize this problem early, but if you look at the situation in the entire first half, I hope that Arsenal's management will see There is already a huge gap in strength between myself and the top Premier League teams."

"We can even say that, let alone winning the league title, Arsenal are not absolutely sure about the top four in the Premier League, or even in the competition for European qualification, because the current Premier League as a whole Competitive strength is completely different from the pattern of two heroes fighting for hegemony and later monopolizing by the top four."

"While teams such as Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, West Ham United and Newcastle have greatly strengthened their team's combat effectiveness, Arsenal's strength has not improved at all. This is the general trend of the entire Premier League. It's a step backward."

The first half ended with a 4-0 lead by Tottenham Hotspur.

There were no boos or cheers from the stands at the Emirates Stadium as referee Philip Dodd walked back into the tunnel because Philip Dodd actually did a good enough job as referee , at least he made Arsenal lose a red card, and he also fully took care of the emotions of the home team fans.

But it is also impossible for them to give cheers, because their team is now behind the rival team with a big score that is almost impossible to reverse. This is definitely an unacceptable fact for Arsenal fans.

In this case, they chose silence.

Perhaps, sometimes, silent silence is also a kind of strong protest!
