96 Chapter 96

Sneijder wasn't the main defender after all, and Cesc Fabregas's feints were quite realistic, and he couldn't keep the opponent off the line in the wrong direction.

But Cesc Fabregas didn't have time to rejoice in his beautiful pass, as he found that Yaya Toure had blocked it in the first place.

He didn't choose to immediately accelerate his breakthrough, but slowed down his pace and whispered a provocative word out of his mouth.

"Man, you can't stop me. โ€

Yaya Toure's English was terrible, and to be honest, he didn't understand what Fabregas meant, but he could understand the provocation just from the look in his eyes.

Toure was unmoved, such an insignificant provocation he had encountered many times before.

Fabregas saw that his opponent was still just staring at him, deaf to his words, and said no more, bowing slightly and preparing to get up quickly.

However, Borussia Dortmund's players will not let go so easily, Yan Jing repeatedly stressed before the game that Cesc Fabregas was the heart of Arsenal's attack, and no one dared to snub the young Spaniard.

Shaheen soon came to help Toure in defence, and he appeared on the same route that Cesc Fabregas was planning to break, forcing Fabregas to change his mind on the fly.

Cesc Fabregas dribbled and retreated, and Toure and Shaheen immediately followed up with the press.

Seeing that the ball was about to be poked away at his feet, Cesc Fabregas spun sharply and staggered Toure's first extension, before slotting the ball wide before Shaheen could reach it.

"Emmanuel!"

Cesc Fabregas is calling Togolese striker Adebayor, a 23-year-old black striker with explosive power, and although he is not fast enough and not very skillful, his strong physique still makes him a threat on the pitch.

"Cesc Fabregas was caught between Yaya Toure and Shahin...... But he still got the ball out!"

Despite being defended by a two-man pair, Cesc Fabregas delivered a good quality pass.

Bam Adebayor was already cruising near the touchline, and as soon as Cesc Fabregas passed the ball to his side, he immediately rushed over to catch it.

Opposite Adebayo is Lichtsteiner, who is the same age as him, and although Adebayo appears to be stronger at first glance, Lichtsteiner is actually two kilograms heavier than Adebayor.

Lichtsteiner was unable to get the best position ahead of Adebayor due to the fact that Lichtsteiner was further away from the ball, but his excellent decision-making allowed him to cut the ball away from the receiving Adebayor in the first place.

Adebayo turned his back to the Dortmund goal in order to better protect the ball when receiving the ball.

As soon as the ball fell from the air, Adebayo felt that Lichtsteiner had pressed his entire body to his back.

He stopped the ball and carried Lichtsteiner with force, but Lichtsteiner's strength was unexpected, which made his stop movement not smooth enough, and the ball stopped more than two meters away from him.

While the ball was in the air, both teams on this side, Shaheen and Rosicky, were rushing towards Adebayor's position.

Adebayor, who was closest to the ball, was a step slower to be entangled by Lichtsteiner and had to return the ball to Rosicky and Shahin โ–กโ–ก.

Although Shaheen is very young and not too fast, his good anticipation makes up for it.

Against the experienced Rosicky, Shaheen was still able to get the ball ahead of his opponent and move the ball quickly before the opponent counter-attacked on the spot.

When the ball landed at the feet of Ribery, a group of Arsenal players were alarmed โ€“ Arsene Wenger had repeatedly mentioned before the game that if he wanted to win, he had to curb Ribery's play.

Ribery had barely been on the ball for two seconds before Arsenal midfielders Hleb and Gilberto Silva were ready to press.

The Arsenal midfielder stepped forward to keep an eye on Ribery as soon as possible, which attracted Yan Jing's attention.

Admittedly, no matter who meets Ribery now, they will rank the Frenchman as Dortmund's biggest threat, but each team has dealt with Ribery in a very different way.

Yan Jing squinted his eyes and observed Arsenal's defensive tactics against Ribery.

Arsenal's midfield defensive stalwart Brazilian Gilberto Silva has been dubbed the "invisible wall".

When the opponent moves from defense to attack and goes straight to the defence, he will always be there in time to help the team defuse potential danger.

Gilberto Silva has a mediocre pace, so he rarely presses, spending most of his time in midfield as a full-time defender. His tackles are decisive and ferocious, and Gilberto is a tough one for attacking players.

Although his bravery seems to have diminished following Arsenal's prolonged injury, his experience remains an invaluable asset in Arsenal's defence โ€“ especially as the Arsenal veterans are leaving.

On the big screen, Gilberto made a vicious tackle on Ribery.

Seeing Gilberto's foot rushing towards his ankle, Ribery had to choose to give up control of the ball in order to protect himself from injury, and fell to the ground in the air.

"Gilberto snatched the ball, but also tackled Ribery to the ground!"

The referee glanced at Ribery, who had fallen to the ground complaining, and said nothing.

At this time, Hleb, who came around at the same time as Gilberto, grabbed the ball and turned his head and ran.

Yan Jing saw very clearly that Gilberto did touch the ball first, but this action still made him quite dissatisfied.

"He's doing too dangerous! He's trying to cut off Frank's foot!"

The referee on duty was not far from Yan Jing, he heard Yan Jing's complaint, just glanced at Yan Jing with his spare eyes, and then continued to focus on his law enforcement.

Seeing that the referee ignored him, the Arsenal fans near the bench in the Emirates Stadium watched Yan Jing boo and mock him with disdain.

"Go back to the bench! Don't you see the referee ignoring you!"

However, Yan Jing didn't pay attention to the boos behind him at all, his mind was all on the field, and the boos of the Arsenal fans could only be in vain.

Judging from the fact that Ribery received the ball just now and Hleb consciously approached the scramble for the first time, it is obvious that Wenger thinks that if he wants to see Ribery, a Gilberto is not enough.

Just as Yan Jing wants to stifle Cesc Fabregas, the core of Arsenal's midfield, Arsene Wenger also wants to lock up Ribery, the core of Dortmund's attack, and to stop the Frenchman by sending two defensive midfielders to do so.

Arsenal, who had the ball on the pitch, were handed back to Cesc Fabregas by Hleb and Arsenal attacked again.

Ribery, who didn't get good fruit at the referee's office, didn't complain much, and got up in three or two to get ahead of Toure to intercept Cesc Fabregas with the ball.

"Ribery is in front of Cesc Fabregas!"

Since the start of the season, the German sports audience has said that Dicker has become more and more passionate in his commentary.

However, this is also normal, and some people have done experiments to test the decibel at the Westphalian Stadium, and it has been concluded that Westphalia is close to 130 decibels at its loudest, and it is 110 decibels on average, and the average person really can't stay on the pitch for too long - and before Yan Jing took charge of Dortmund, the average decibel level during the game was a full ten points lower than it is now.

The passion of Dort fans to watch the game has generally increased, and it is understandable that Dicker's commentary, who is also a Dort fan, is more passionate.

'Cesc Fabregas didn't choose to break head-on this time, he gave the ball to Rosicky......"

Seeing that the opponent did not attack head-on, Ribery turned and prepared to chase after Rosicky, but at this time, he suddenly felt a gust of wind passing behind him - Fabregas ran past him!

'Rosicky just received the ball and passed diagonally forward again, and Cesc Fabregas got rid of Ribery to catch the ball and it was a beautiful one-two!"

Although there was still a long way to go from the penalty area, Ribery still felt very unhappy after being played by the two, but given Yan Jing's demands and trust in his teammates, he did not chase back deeply, but ran back to his position to look for opportunities.

You've got you covered!

Yaya Toure was ready for Cesc Fabregas' second onslaught, and for a split second their eyes met, and both could see the sparks flying.

Cesc Fabregas slid down and was ready to repeat his old trick to pass to Adebayor, but Toure, who had learned his lesson, guessed his purpose the moment he saw the Spaniard stop at his feet and rushed over to keep it out.

With another player, Toure would โ–กโ–ก be successful in this ten, but fellow genius Cesc Fabregas has shown his unusual talent.

In the moments before Toure got off his feet, he grabbed the ball, turned it to the other side, and pulled it with his feet, and the ball was moved in the other direction.

The BBC commentator couldn't help but blurt out excitedly when he saw this scene.

"Fabregas replicates Cruyff's turn!"

Although this statement seems exaggerated, as the classic Cruyff in football turned around with a fake faux dunk and then turned around and strode behind the defender - and Cesc Fabregas did not make a fake pass up front.

But even so, from the commentators and the commotion inside the Emirates Stadium, you know that Fabregas's action is indeed quite exciting.

Shaken off Toure, Cesc Fabregas tried to smash the Yellow Dragon, but Shahin's timely help broke the ball at Fabregas's feet off the touchline.

Cesc Fabregas did not spot Shaheen because his vision was blocked when he turned, and he ran to the sideline to throw the touchline ball with some chagrin.

Although the Spaniard couldn't go any further, it was clear that people were intoxicated by Cesc Fabregas's turn Cruyff โ€“ at least that was the case with the BBC commentator and the slow-motion director who immediately replayed it, and the Arsenal fans who love beautiful football gave Fabregas a round of applause.

While most Arsenal fans looked at the big screen to review the slow-motion aftertaste, Yan Jing, who was still focused on the pitch, saw Shaheen sneak up behind Hleb, who was about to receive the throw-in.

'Hleb received a pass from Cesc Fabregas...... Shaheen suddenly appeared behind him! Shaheen broke the ball!"

The commentator's exclamation woke up the intoxicated Arsenal fans, who came back to their senses to see that Shaheen had already broken through the half with the ball.

"Gilberto!

Yan Jing heard the unclear command from the bench next door, he got up from his seat and walked quickly to the sidelines, crossed his arms and squinted at the situation.

You see, Dortmund is not just one Frank Ribery. 166 Reading Network
