Almighty legend life

Chapter 419 Conquest
With six consecutive one-foot passes, the four players in the frontcourt of Arsenal made wonderful passes and cuts in the small space of the heavily populated penalty area in Valencia. The cooperation between them is so tacit. So much so that Valencia's players were completely manipulated.

The never-ending singing at Wembley Stadium suddenly came to a standstill at this time, followed by cheers that shook the sky. After watching too many other teams in the Premier League attacking in a grand manner, Arsenal's opening performance this time was as beautiful as The royal china of the far east, excited Arsenal fans felt a sense of well-being from head to toe.

Ribery was also stunned after scoring. Although this was not his first Champions League goal, Ribery had already scored a goal in the away game against Bordeaux in the group stage, but with that goal Compared with the ball, today's goal is so important that Ribery himself is completely in a trance now, and he has forgotten where he is now.

As a compatriot, Henry rushed forward immediately and threw the stunned Ribery to the ground. Although the ball was the result of teamwork, Henry, who was the goal scorer, was also happy for him.

The Arsenal bench on the sidelines was also full of joy. Wenger shook his head in disbelief. He didn't expect that the players could play such a wonderful cooperation today. Such a cooperation is rarely achieved even in training.

Compared with Arsenal's joy and encouragement, Valencia's side inevitably seemed a little flustered. With the cooperation of the opponent, their defense line was like a broken net, and they were played by the opponent casually. This result has always been in the heart. The proud Valencian youth will not tolerate it.

Cooper, the head coach of Valencia on the sidelines, seemed a little bit wrong facing such a goal. Such a goal could almost be selected as the best goal of the Champions League this season. Cooper really couldn't figure out how Arsenal's players were. Find the best passing line under such a tight defense.

Cooper, who was lost in thinking and dazed, subconsciously touched his suit pocket. He wanted to smoke a cigarette to concentrate, but he couldn't take it out of his pocket because he put the cigarette in the pocket before the game. It was the locker room, and it was Cooper who realized that he was in the game. In order to hide his embarrassment, he could only take a sip of the water at his feet.

Less than 5 minutes into the game, Arsenal broke through the gate of Valencia, and at the same time brought the two teams back to the same starting line.

After the kick-off, the Valencia team seemed a little overwhelmed. After receiving the return pass from his teammate, Mendieta found that his teammate seemed to have no intention of running, so he could only continue to pass the ball. Pass back, and at the same time shout loudly to teammates: "Run up, run up."

However, his voice could not be conveyed in the renewed singing of the Arsenal fans. Mendieta could only run as much as possible to drive his teammates to move. In the game, Mendieta can only hope that the team will recover as soon as possible, and physical strength is no longer what he should consider.

Under the support of Mendieta's spare no effort to run, the situation in Valencia gradually stabilized.

Arsenal immediately launched a formation to press Valencia after Valencia kicked off again. Break through the opponent's gate once.

Liu Han, who came to the front midfielder, did not take the initiative to retreat and defend as in the previous game, because the Valencia team has been falling in their own half at this moment, and they have not yet launched a full-scale attack.

Seeing that the team was suppressed by the Arsenal team, Cooper ran to the sidelines and waved his arms vigorously. He signaled the players to push out as much as possible and not be suppressed by the Arsenal team in the half court. Cooper knew very well that once Barron The West Asian team has lost its spirit and is certainly not Arsenal's opponent.

The two teams gradually started a fierce battle in the midfield. Although the Valencia players did not have the advantage in the confrontation, their foot skills were indeed better than the Arsenal players, so the situation was still under control.

However, Liu Han's constant interference in the midfield still affected Valencia's offense to a certain extent. Their usual cooperation and assault did not play well.

After 10 minutes of the game, the Valencia team found a better chance.

Mendieta's midfielder struggled to control the ball under the defense of Liu Han. When he was about to lose his balance, Mendieta controlled his body and passed the ball to Gerard on the right.

Immediately after Herald received the ball, he encountered Adams' defense. Facing the experienced Adams, Herald did not rush rashly, but passed the ball again to the feet of Lopez who retreated to respond.

After Lopez took the ball, he dribbled the ball smartly to get rid of Winterburn's defense, and then he passed the ball again to Herald on the right. At this time, Herrard had already got rid of Adams' defense.

After Herald got the ball, he went straight to the bottom, and then made an inverted triangle pass to find Lopez before Adams returned to his side.

Arsenal's defense was a bit too sticky to the penalty area, so that it missed Lopez on the line of the penalty area. The latter shot directly after receiving the ball, and there was a burst of exclamation from the fans at Wembley Stadium.

However, Lopez's shot and Seaman, who was in good condition, directly saved the bottom line, intending to make up for his sin of being sent off by a red card in the quarter-finals. David Seaman worked very hard in this game.

However, although the ball threatened Arsenal's goal, it also showed a disadvantage of the Valencia team. They did not have a suitable support point in the penalty area, so that the assault players on the wing did not dare to pass the ball. In the middle, if the Valencia team has a stable high center forward, then their two full-backs with super breakthrough ability can fully play their role, but unfortunately, Valencia does not have such a player now.

Valencia's attack also sounded the alarm for Wenger. His back line is indeed a bit old, so that the attack like the one just now will appear to be insufficient.

However, although the Arsenal team has many loopholes in the defense, the players in the midfield are all in excellent condition today.

Liu Han seldom returns to the backcourt today, but more in the middle and frontcourt. He realized that instead of retreating and participating in passive defense, it is better to threaten the opponent's goal as much as possible. Defense takes some pressure off.

After scoring such a wonderful cooperation in the opening game, Arsenal's frontcourt players seem to be obsessed with that feeling. They have tried to pass as much as possible in the game so far. It's pretty, but in essence, this kind of transmission lacks some purpose.

But Liu Han's existence is to make the purpose completely clear.

In the 39th minute of the game, Liu Han, who had been passing the ball aimlessly in the midfield, suddenly dribbled through after receiving the ball.

Mendieta's defense is considered good among midfielders in La Liga, but it is useless against Liu Han. After receiving the ball, Liu Han stepped on a simple bicycle twice to shake Mendieta away, and then took the ball with him. The ball went straight in.

Valencia attaches great importance to Liu Han's breakthrough, and both Farinos and Anglomar have begun to approach Liu Han.

But at this moment, Liu Han, who was originally breaking through to the right, suddenly sent a kick to divert the ball diagonally. The ball flew directly from the air to the left side of the court, where Ribery had already inserted at high speed, but Liu Han was still heading to the right. run sideways.

Although Ribery has scored a goal in this game, his presence is not strong. After all, he is a rookie who is not yet 17 years old. It is difficult for such a rookie to attract the attention of the opponent, but at this time The Valencia team had to pay more attention to Ribery, because Ribery, who was dribbling the ball on the left, chose to cut directly inside.

Ribery, who dribbles at high speed, fully demonstrated his strength in this attack. His dribbling is very fast, and the combination of man and ball is very good. The football has been under the control of Ribery during the high-speed progress. Down.

Valencia's right back Djukic immediately ran towards Ribery, but he obviously underestimated Ribery's speed, a simple acceleration shake, and Ribery left Djukic behind.

Ribery, who was already close to the penalty area line, slammed a curve ball with the outer instep of his right foot when Valencia central defender Pellegrino was about to defend.

This weird pass made the Valencia team go crazy, because according to the line and height of the ball, it was obvious that it was looking for Liu Han who was in the back.

Valencia's other central defender, Gerardo, jumped up to head the ball, but he miscalculated the arc of the ball. The ball was rubbed by Ribéry with the outside instep of his right foot. Contrary to the general arc of a right-footed pass from the left, Gerardo made a top-down error at a critical moment.

Liu Han's position at this time was already close to the bottom line, which made Valencia a little relieved. After all, his position was so close to the bottom line and he was still outside the penalty area.

But at this moment, Liu Han moved his foot to a good position, swung his right foot directly to volley, and also touched the ball with the outside instep of his right foot, but Liu Han's ball had a higher arc and greater strength. He chose to shoot directly when the angle to the goal was less than ten degrees. This action is so similar to the "zero angle" volley scored by Van Basten in the European Cup against the former Soviet Union in 1988.

Liu Han's shot was beyond everyone's expectations. Canizares was originally positioned closer to the near post. At this time, when he realized that Liu Han chose to shoot directly, it was too late to retreat, so he could only jump. After getting up, spread your body back as much as possible, hoping to reach the ball.

But Canizares failed to touch the shot in the end. Liu Han still controlled the angle of the ball when it was close to zero angle. It took a two-to-zero lead.

The singing at Wembley Stadium was in the middle again, but this time the fans didn't even have a chance to be stupefied. They were completely conquered by such a goal. The goal in the history of the Champions League is even more exciting.

The live camera swept across the auditorium, and the Arsenal fans were so excited that they were about to cry, but on the Valencia bench, the young substitute players also held their heads in their hands and stared at the tall man with his arms raised in disbelief. Orientals, I believe that Liu Han's performance will leave an indelible image on these young people.

Liu Han raised his arms to the sky, he likes the feeling of scoring a goal, and also likes to hear the cheers of the supporters, Ribery ran over the first time after Liu Han scored, and then jumped on Liu Han's back, he also Very excited, there is nothing more exciting than assisting your idol.

Bergkamp also ran to Liu Han's side, but he has always been reserved, but this time he knelt down on one knee, and then put Liu Han's right foot on his own knee, as if to shine Liu Han's shoe , the Dutch were also conquered by Liu Han's performance.

At this time, the Valencia players looked at the Arsenal players celebrating in a daze. If they were just a little depressed about the equalizer goal, they were almost desperate now. Such a goal, such an outstanding goal Stars, how can we not let them despair.

Cooper on the sidelines wanted to touch his pocket again, but there was no tobacco to relieve his despair. Cooper didn't know how to deal with this game.

After Arsenal's celebration ended, the Valencia team kicked off again, but at this time they were in a trance, and they didn't know whether to attack or defend. If it weren't for Mendieta and Canizares who kept calling their teammates, saying Maybe they will make some low-level mistakes.

The first half of the game ended with Arsenal leading by two goals. They had a favorable situation at this time, but this was not safe. Fewer goals and eliminated.

During the half-time break, Arsenal's dressing room was cheerful, the players were in a relaxed state, and Liu Han's performance made everyone feel safe.

After the break, the Valencia team returned to the field and recovered. They are now at an absolute disadvantage. If they can't get the score back, the Valencia team will gain nothing this season.

After the restart of the game, Valencia's movements began to increase. Young people certainly have a great physical advantage, but at the same time their mood swings will be relatively large, and because of the emotional impact, the defensive movements of Valencia players began to be a little out of line .

The Arsenal team has accumulated enough momentum in the first half. The current Arsenal team may still have a lot of loopholes in defense, but in offense, they have entered a wonderful state. At this time, I am not just playing the game, but enjoying the game more, enjoying the comfort after playing wonderful cooperation. All the players have great trust in their teammates, and at the same time, they are always looking for a suitable running route.

Faced with such an Arsenal team, youth is no longer the advantage of the Valencia team, which has become more of their disadvantage. Arsenal's offense has repeatedly played tricks on the Valencia players.

In the 604th minute of the game, Arsenal played a wonderful cooperation on the right. Liu Han, Bergkamp and Overmars played consecutive two-for-one cooperation, and then Overmars made two consecutive breakthroughs on the right. Shaking Kiri Gonzalez to the ground, the angry Kiri Gonzalez made an irrational behavior. He used a behind-the-back tackle to knock Overmars down to the ground, and at the same time threw himself Sent off the field.

The shocking boos sent Kiri Gonzalez off the court, and at the same time sent it to other Valencia players. Although Cooper insisted on making adjustments at this time, he knew that his heart was in a mess. It is like a bunch of hemp thread that has been piled up for a hundred years, and a suitable "thread end" has never been found.

The Valencia team was close to the brink of collapse at this time. This young team paid the price for their youth.

Overmars, who was knocked down to the ground, returned to the field after being checked by the team doctor. He was fine. Arsenal’s offense did not stop because of this foul. They wanted to end the game. Total kill.

In the No. 70 minute of the game, Arsenal took advantage of Valencia's frontcourt pass error and played a quick counterattack.

Adams passed to Overmars in front of him from the right. After taking the ball with his back, Overmars directly knocked it across to Liu Han who came to meet him in the middle. Liu Han didn't take much to knock back to Adams again.

Adams made a long pass to Ljungberg near the center line on the right.

At this time, Arsenal's attack line has been fully expanded. Ljungberg put the ball straight to Franck Ribery who slanted to the left, and the latter knocked back with his heel to Ljungberg who continued to move forward.

Ljungberg did not stop the ball and directly knocked the ball across to Liu Han in the middle. At this time, the ball had advanced to about 20 meters outside the penalty area, and Valencia's defense was blocked by Ribery and Ljungberg. A bit completely drawn to the left.

Liu Han continued to pass a kick to Overmars, who was on the right, and Overmars made a strong push to the bottom line but knocked the ball horizontally again to Bergkamp near the penalty area line. Bergkamp's crotch One leak, behind him is Henry who is pulled into the middle, Henry knocks the ball back, at this time Valencia's defense line has been completely disrupted by Arsenal's series of cooperation, Liu Han is less than five meters away from the penalty area The distance, received the ball when no one around him was defending.

A powerful heavy artillery blasted the gate guarded by Canizares for the third time, and at the same time completely extinguished the last hope of Valencia.

In the last 10 minutes of the game, both sides played a little absent-mindedly. Valencia failed to organize an effective counterattack in desperation, while the Arsenal players were looking forward to their first Champions League final.

In the end, Arsenal beat Valencia [-]-[-] in this game. They became the first team to enter the Champions League final this season. Valencia paid the due price for their youthfulness.
