98 Chapter 98

In the early years of the new century, Arsenal fans were perhaps the happiest and proudest of all Premier League fans.

The arrival of France boss Arsene Wenger has changed more than just the way the team plays – before his arrival, under former boss Graham, the dressing room was littered with bottles and drugs, and the players went through the motions in training and walked onto the pitch from pubs and nightclubs on weekends. Their match was described by the media as a "boring and dull 1-0 doctrine", and the game was filled with a lot of inexplicable brawls, fake falls, and besieging the referee, which was not spectacular.

After Arsene Wenger took charge of Arsenal, he first started with the rectification of the dressing room and changed the style of life of the players.

Tactically, Arsene Wenger brought ideas that players had never been exposed to before, and his drastic reforms were initially questioned by many parties, and the results were seen by all.

Arsenal, like their new leader, The Professor, is beginning to become elegant and wise.

At that time, Arsenal became synonymous with beautiful winning football, a dazzling wonder in the Premier League, playing pleasing games and winning game after victory.

Arsène Wenger, the name of the French coach seems destined to live on in the history of the Arsenal team.

However, even so, Wenger has been criticized by fans and the media alike for his speed of reaction in command.

Previous Arsenal players were almost top-level, experienced and self-regulating enough to not require much effort from Arsene Wenger on the sidelines.

But after the departure of this group of players, it is clear that the new group of young players is not good enough in this area. They can play well with the tailwind, but with the headwind, they can easily mess up without the guidance of the manager on the sidelines.

At this time, it is necessary for the head coach of the team to make timely adjustments to stabilize the morale of the army when he is replaced.

However, this happens to be Wenger's biggest shortcoming.

The second half was a resumption of the battle, and the line-up of the two teams did not change much compared to the first half.

On the Dortmund side, although Ribery did not get many chances due to being closely marked by Arsenal, on the other hand, he also perfectly contained Arsenal's defense, freeing up several other players in the front.

Therefore, Yan Jing did not plan to replace Ribery, and he didn't think about using Ribery as the main point of attack in this game.

The score behind made the Arsenal fans at the scene uneasy, and they sang songs to cheer for the team, trying to scare Dortmund away.

But the self-confident Borussia Dortmund players are not afraid of any team at all now - just kidding, the last Champions League winners were all won because we played in the Europa League, what other team is so afraid?!

Rosicky dribbled forward from Gara's pass and saw that the Dortmund defenders seemed to be relaxed on Reyes, who had done little in the first half.

Some distance further on, there might be a chance to get the ball straight into the box......

Just as Rosicky was about to carry out his inner calculations, he heard Fabregas's voice.

"Thomas, give me the ball!"

Although Arsene Wenger has never directly stated that Cesc Fabregas is the heart of the squad in the dressing room and on the training pitch, it is a fact that no matter how much the Arsenal player knows – their manager's tactical moves, and even the transfer signings, revolve around Cesc Fabregas.

Even if Arsene Wenger suddenly announced Cesc Fabregas as Arsenal captain tomorrow, too many of his team-mates would probably not be surprised.

Rosicky glanced at Cesc Fabregas in the middle, who could harass them as they were far from the Dortmund penalty area.

But......

Rosicky glanced at the route he had planned again, hesitated for a moment and knocked the ball to Cesc Fabregas.

Although Rosicky has only played for more than a year under Yan Jingjiao, there are also players in the Dort team who have been teammates with Rosicky for many years, and Rosicky's feelings are quite deep.

Kyle, who couldn't start the game, couldn't help but muttered quietly when he saw this scene.

'Thomas gave the ball to Cesc Fabregas again and his side was clearly on the better route. ”

And for Yan Jing, without Rosicky's outburst, his start to managing Dortmund would never have been as smooth as it is now.

He heard Kyle's words at the tip of his ear, and said casually and coolly.

"Cesc Fabregas is undoubtedly a genius, and most of the geniuses' self-esteem is sacrosanct, after all, he is still young, and it is not surprising that he is competing with Yaya. ”

Cesc Fabregas rushed forward with the ball and in front of him was Yaya Toure.

He didn't seem to have any intention of hiding his goal, which was to get past Toure.

In the second half of the first half, Toure did a good job of the task given to him by Yan Jing before the game, curbing Fabregas's play, but he didn't expect this to give Fabregas a buff by the way.

'It's the twelfth minute of the second half. Dicker looked at the screen and couldn't help but complain, "Oh, I don't think Fabregas can see anyone but Yaya Toure now......"

Rosicky has been keeping an eye on Cesc Fabregas' situation and is always at a distance to be relayed.

He saw Cesc Fabregas and Yaya Toure again, and was already at a disadvantage, and couldn't help but wave at the other side.

"Sesk!

Cesc Fabregas lost his cool a bit, but as a good playmaker in midfield, his body subconsciously reacted faster than his brain, making a thrilling pass to Rosicky before the ball was snatched away by Yaya Toure.

Yaya Toure almost broke the ball again, but Rosicky was able to catch it without danger. ”

At this time, although the best time has been missed, the route that Rosicky has just seen has not completely lost the possibility of a successful pass.

Rosicky took two steps forward to prevent the chase from being cut off by Shahin, and at the same time got up to pass to Reyes in front of him.

Reyes was ready to pick up early from the middle, while Dede on the wing was able to keep Rosicky on the ground before he could pass the ball.

Rosicky's pinpoint pass found the most comfortable point for Reyes to pick up, and he didn't need to turn to rush into the box, which instantly made Dede's defense behind him difficult.

"If Reyes is allowed to change direction and burst into the box, it will be dangerous!"

Dede was naturally well aware of this, but he was indeed too late to stop Reyes, and in a hurry, he Reyes stretched out his foot to the Spaniard behind him.

"Beep-"

The moment Reyes fell to the ground, the referee's whistle should also sound from time to time.

The Arsenal fans shouted shouts at Dede, and the referee was embarrassed to run over and pull a yellow card from his shirt pocket to show Dede and award a direct free-kick.

Dede spread his hands and did not complain too much about the yellow card.

Arsenal were clearly in dire need of a tactical change, and the BBC TV commentator took advantage of Dortmund's wall to explain why.

After an initial discomfort, Yaya Toure has become familiar with Cesc Fabregas's rhythm and has become more and more successful. Arsene Wenger insisted on Cesc Fabregas as the heart of the midfield playmaker, and Arsenal handed it directly to him after winning the ball, but under the pressure of Yaya Toure, Fabregas was unable to organise the attack as effectively as usual. ”

"Arsene Wenger should have asked the players on the pitch to try to give the ball to Rosicky as much as he could, the Czech has pretty good organisational skills as well"

The free-kick spot was near the corner flag area and it was full-back Eboue who came out of the crowd to take the penalty.

'Arsenal need to take advantage of this free-kick opportunity and rely on set-pieces to achieve unexpected results. The BBC commentator is clearly still on the side of his own country's team, constantly supporting Arsenal, "Eboue took two steps back and was about to run. ”

Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund were huddled in the box, staring nervously at Eboue.

The Stadium of the Emirates was restless and nervous, and seeing that Eboue had already run in front of the football, players from both sides began to run, only to wait for Eboue to drive the ball out and scramble first.

At such a critical moment, Eboue unexpectedly braked suddenly, stopped his movements and stopped in front of the ball.

The original commotion in the penalty area suddenly returned to its original position, and their hearts were pleasantly surprised, and even Arsenal's own goalkeeper Lehmann couldn't help but curse me fuck.

Eboue looked innocent, waved apologised to his team-mates in the box, and then re-took the free-kick.

The ball landed over Adebayo and Thuram, and the two big blacks fought desperately.

The last laugh was the experienced Thuram, who used his body to squeeze Adebayor out of the receiving area slightly, then turned and drove the ball towards Arsenal's half.

"Villa! Villa is at the front! Arsenal need to get back to the defense!"

Villa rushed to the front to catch the ball and strode towards the Arsenal penalty area.

Arsenal's backline went too deep into Dort's half in order to win the free-kick, so that none of them can catch up with Villa.

"There are no defenders who can stop Villa! The only obstacle in front of him now is Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann!"

Lehmann had just been frightened by his own player, Eboue, and now he was about to face an even more frightened situation, and he was ready to abandon the goal.

Villa ran, his eyes grim, not the slightest fear.

He rushed straight from the flank to the goal, jumped past the opponent's pursuit with the ball the moment Lehmann rushed out of the penalty area and bounced at him, raising his leg to send the ball into the net the moment it hit the ground and bounced off the ground.
