Chapter 600: This Is the Arsenal (3)

Schalke did not relax the pace of attack after taking the lead in the opening period, they still occupied the initiative on the field, although Arsenal also made corresponding arrangements, but sadly found that the actual effect was not great. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Schalke's midfield this year has not only added a Mata, but made a drastic change, last year's four starters only one of the four starts this year is still on the pitch, and he is no longer locked in a central midfield position as last year, but completely liberated, which is also another move by Magath, which makes last season's approach seem to have little effect.

In the twelfth minute, Cristo assisted to the midfield, and after crossing the halfway line, he passed the football to Ai Phantom, who quickly moved sideways with the ball, and suddenly picked up the penalty area after attracting the opponent's two backs, Raul immediately got rid of the opponent's central defender's block and dribbled horizontally from left to right, his feints were really beautiful, and he easily shook off the attacking Szczesny to hit the empty goal, but Sagna quickly retreated to the goal line and cleared the ball, and the football immediately flew out of the penalty area.

However, the football did not go back as imagined, but just after getting out of the penalty area, Ai Huan jumped high in the air to block the ball, but this time Ai Huan did not wait for the football to land on the goal, but directly hit his head in the air, the football made a loud bang in the air, and the football flew to the opponent's goal again like a cannonball.

Szczesny had already stood up at this time, but in the face of this kind of shot, he really had no better way, and the whole person bounced back with the football, but his speed was still a little slow, and his fingers were a little bit away from the football, which made him only look at the ball and sigh, and could only fall to the ground and watch the football drill into the net.

Ai Huan scored twice, his index fingers pointed high into the sky, this goal was no more exciting than the previous one, but the thought of Arsenal on the opposite side was enough to make people excited.

"It's two-to-zero! It's two-to-zero! This is our Ai Huan, he has changed the tide of the game by himself, Arsenal has nothing to do with him, but to watch him do whatever he wants. Xie Quan shouted happily, and there were naturally many people who were as happy as him.

There are a lot of unhappy people, and the most should be the Arsenal players on the field. Santos was standing not far away, he was still involved in the defense when Ai Huan jumped high just now, but when he saw that Ai Huan had jumped high beyond his own height, he didn't even jump, and at that moment his psychological defense line had actually been defeated.

"Is he really God? Does God really choose the face of a Chinese? Could it be that he really stands on the side of Schalke without hesitation?"

But just when he was still in a daze, he had already heard Van Persie's voice: "What are you in a daze, hurry up and attack, we can only defeat them by attacking." ā€

Yes, now only by using the offensive can the pace of the opponent's progress be suppressed, just like Manchester United did last season, instead of giving Schalke too much space now, and also giving too much space to Ai Huan, only ten minutes into the game, he has already conceded two goals in a row, if this kind of game continues, it will really be over.

But can Arsenal still be able to organise a truly effective attack? This is something that even Santos, who is used as a substitute for Cesc Fabregas, disagrees, and how can this be broken because the all-round backwardness of the midfield has led to the blockage of Arsenal's attack?

However, the offensive still has to be attacked, after all, this is an arsenal, and the gunners have never lacked offensive firepower. In the 18th minute, Theo Walcott moved the ball into the box, Van Persie got close to Matip and volleyed, but Zhang Chong saved it bravely and Arsenal won a corner.

After Arteta sent a corner kick, Zhang Chong immediately punched the football out of the penalty area, Gundogan took the ball and quickly distributed it to the left side, Fuchs broke out to accelerate the impact of the opponent's midfield in an instant, and then transferred to the feet of Mata in a large area, Mata rushed forward with the ball, and in the process observed it and shot from a distance, but the ball still did not control the power, resulting in a direct high goal.

Arsenal then launched a quick counter-attack, with Walcoat bursting in from the left flank, which he was not good at, but was easily cut off by Krishitto and launched another counter-attack.

Schalke's midfielder immediately stabbed towards Arsenal's hinterland like an arrow from the string, which once again caused Arsenal's defense to be chaotic, Mata passed the football directly into the penalty area, and the football cut through the opponent's defense like a scalpel, but this time Mata's pass was a little fast, Farfan missed half a step and did not touch the football, and the football rolled out of bounds on its own.

Farfan patted his head in annoyance, and then turned back to applaud Mata, but Mata also looked very relaxed, laughing and waving his teammates, it didn't matter, after all, the psychological burden of leading everyone by two goals was not as heavy as imagined.

In the next game, Arsenal still seems to be a little lacking in stamina, unable to launch a decent attack at all, their current midfield core Arteta is very limited by Gundogan, and he has been cut off or destroyed by him several times in a row, and the football is not of great use to Santos, Ai Phantom is obviously a little against this guy, so that the Brazilians have no chance at all, not only can not get rid of the entanglement of Aphantom but as long as one is not good, the ball will be broken, which makes the Brazilians have no way at all, the midfield and the other side is even more hot, Fuchs and Crishitto's defense is very tight, and the two keep crossing and changing positions to make the ball for each other, there is no chance at all to attack from this side.

And as long as Schalke can break the ball, he will attack immediately, which is also too painful for the opponent. In the 28th minute, Hovides went straight through the middle and handed the ball directly to the quick insertion of Ai Huan, who split the ball in front of a three-man defence, but Mata took the ball and was disrupted by Mertesacker, and Farfan, who was near him, quickly took the ball down the right and crossed again, but this time Szczesny grabbed the ball before Raul could pick it up.

In the 32nd minute, Benayoun made two consecutive long passes from midfield, the first one was blocked by Ai Huan, and he immediately rushed forward to make a second shot before Gundogan, this time the football passed to the left side of the penalty area, Van Persie stepped on the point and volleyed with his left foot, but Zhang Chong used his fingertips to pull the ball out of the bottom line.
