After Blackburn's passion, the race was back on track. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the game resumed again, due to the huge blow suffered at the beginning, the Gunners' momentum has instantly dropped to a trough.

At this time, the Gunners' manager Arsene Wenger was standing on the sidelines with a frown.

"Professor" is the reputation of Wenger from the outside world, but the lack of on-the-spot adaptability and being too gentle and elegant are also a major disadvantage of Wenger's coaching.

Facing the Blackburn Rovers who seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, the Arsenal players could only involuntarily shrink the defensive line back without clear instructions from Arsene Wenger, and collectively retreated to their own half. All of a sudden, the Gunners' front of the door was full of noise, and the soccer balls were flying all over the sky.

After perceiving that the opponent was shrinking the defense, the Blackburn players saw that they could not transport the ball into the penalty area, so they simply stood outside the penalty area with the football one by one and pulled the bow and shot arrows, simply omitting the breakthrough and organization, as long as the football reached the feet, no matter who it was, it was a two-legged heavy cannon against the gate guarded by Almunia.

You must know that in the current Blake lineup, although Ronaldo and Ballack, who are good at long-range shooting, did not play, including Lampard, Bale and even full-back Baines and others are all long-range shooters.

However, Almunia was in good form today, resisting high, and the whole person turned into an eight-clawed spider, and all the shots that hit the goal frame were frighteningly resolved.

Once again, when Bale pressed Toure's header, Almunia leaped high and kept the ball firmly between his hands.

Just when the Blackburn players were still secretly resenting another missed opportunity, Almunia quickly ran to the edge of the box and threw the ball into Van Persie, who was already running fast in front of him.

When besieging their opponents, the Blackburn players forgot that the Gunners are just like them, a top team in the world, and that they also have the ability to play defensive counter-attacks with their individual star ability.

"Hurry back to defense!" Seeing that Van Persie and Bam Adebayor had rushed towards their second half quickly, and there were only Martin Taylor and Phil Jones, the Blackburn Academy centre-back combination, Lippi was really worried on the sidelines.

If it were the four central defenders of Nemanja Vidic, Vincent Kompany, Cannavaro and Thiago Silva, Lippi would still be in a comfortable seat, but Martin Taylor and Phil Jones?

OMG!

He was still attacking happily just now, but suddenly he was beaten to his own half by the opponent, and Blackburn's players had not yet reacted.

When Van Persie and Bam Adebayor attacked the Blackburn Rovers with the ball, only Martin Taylor and Phil Jones anxiously stopped their opponents.

However, the two did not risk choosing the strategy of grabbing at the same time, but Phil Jones quickly stepped back and continued to maintain a certain defensive distance from the opponent, while Martin Taylor was always ready to wait for the opponent to make a move and immediately go up to assist.

After hesitating, Phil Jones suddenly found that the four of them were rapidly approaching the penalty area, and felt the penalty area line not far away, Phil Jones smiled bitterly, gritted his teeth, suddenly accelerated his speed, and hit Van Persie who was running happily with the ball in front of him.

Van Persie, who was quickly shaking his legs and rushing towards the Blackburn penalty area with the ball, was still thinking about whether he wanted to slide the rail to celebrate after breaking through the gate of his old club, when he suddenly felt a strong force coming from the side front, and before he could understand what was going on, the whole person was like being hit by a train, waving his limbs off the ground, and throwing it towards the lawn in front of him in embarrassment.

"Tick!" A piercing whistle sounded in a hurry while everyone was stunned!

The referee raced over, stretched out his right hand from his pocket and raised a yellow card high at Phil Jones.

If Van Persie is allowed to enter the penalty area, then Blackburn is really likely to be successfully counter-attacked, and stopping this attack is just a yellow card.

The free-kick was headed up to the first point by Martin Taylor and the ball quickly returned to Blackburn's side.

However, after Phil Jones's thrilling redemption, the Blackburn players who broke out in a cold sweat also woke up instantly, and no longer had the fearlessness of the menacing momentum just now, and played cautiously to control the ball one by one.

On the other side, after some embarrassing defense, the Gunners finally relieved themselves, and the field began to gradually grasp the initiative of the game, but the overall scene was still evenly matched.

The two teams were hesitant to run out of the first half and the two sides went into halftime.

After the start of the second half, Blackburn Rovers still controlled the ball unhurriedly, attacked when they had the opportunity, did not fall on the edge of the center circle, and constantly killed time, Blackburn's goal was to win and advance, and now his team is leading 1-0, of course, I hope to consume it like this.

It was terrible for the Gunners to go on with such a drain of time, not only to equalise, but also to overtake or even reverse.

Just when Arsenal's attack was about to pick up, the Blue Devils' offensive came again!

After Torres received Alonso's ball near the center circle, he made a quick turn and stepped on the football to face Rosicky in front of him.

Ignoring the sweat dripping from his hair, Torres stared closely into Rosicky's eyes in front of him, his right foot quickly lit the football, and his left foot bouncing to the left at the same time.

After a series of plucks, Rosicky pulled some distance away from the sideline, Torres estimated that there was enough space, suddenly raised his right foot on the football, quickly swiped over the football, and before his right foot landed, his left foot followed closely.

Cycling?

The fans at the Emirates Stadium are very tricky, and the cyclist Robinho has also had a similar performance at the Emirates Stadium before, and the discerning giants fans don't think there is anything to make a fuss about.

But this was just the beginning, after a series of five or six lightning-fast bikes, Torres took advantage of the landing of his right foot when he suddenly slammed into the bottom of the ball, and the ball unexpectedly flew to the right.

Seeing the football suddenly fly, Rosicky had just taken a step towards the sideline, who knew that after Torres quickly changed feet, he raised his right foot and blocked the football in mid-air, and the football was knocked back by Torres again and flew back to the left.

Torres landed with his right foot and stepped the outside of the sideline, and after the whole person moved and floated out of the sideline, he suddenly exerted force. He passed Rosicky, who didn't react, and chased after the football in front of him.

When they saw Torres pass by Rosicky in great magnificence, everyone suddenly got out of the water and screamed loudly.

After a spectacular dribble, Torres sprinted with all his might, and as soon as Rosicky turned, he was already in front of Klich.

On a quick run, Torres came up to Chrissy, but he didn't stop there.

Rushing to Klich with the ball, Torres quickly replaced his meteor stride with a fast frequency of small steps, always keeping the football from one step on tiptoe, and when it came to Klich, Torres quickly raised his right foot and took a powerful step forward.

After the straight right leg is taken, when the right foot hits the ground, it is only one step away from Chrissy, and at the same time the left foot kicks hard, and at the same time, with the right foot as the axis, the body turns in the air at a 360 degrees.

After the body turned, the moment Torres landed with his left foot, he quickly shifted his weight to his left foot, and his body turned to the left at the same time, while the raised right foot flicked backwards towards the football.

By the time Torres got around Klich's left, the ball had just slipped under his opponent's crotch and magically appeared in front of him.

Marseille maneuver!

But Torres' breakthrough did not end there, when Torres got the football again, although it was very unexpected, Toure still reacted, and quickly blocked in front of Torres, blocking Torres's only way to the penalty area.

At this time, Torres has come to the bottom line, in front of Toure blocking Torres, and on the left of Torres is Klich who has just turned around, and on the right and behind is the bottom line and the sideline, Torres can be said to have entered an ambush with no way out on all sides.

Lifting his toes to pull the ball back between his legs, and glancing back with his peripheral vision, Torres measured the distance between himself and the touchline behind him, and although it was only two steps, he felt it was enough.

Just as Torres was about to make the next move, Chrissy, who was next to him, suddenly moved quickly and approached Torres's side.

Although he didn't think that Torres could break through by a miracle in this small and middle-two crowd, Klich still decided to defend himself close to him and snatch the football down for the sake of safety.

Seeing that the opponent suddenly moved, Torres knew that he had no time, and his left foot, which had just landed, quickly lifted his heel and stepped lightly on the side of the football with the inside of his heel, after being pressed. The football jumped. Just as the ball jumped to the top of his ankle, Torres' left heel that had just landed was raised against the ball.

The left foot quickly lands on the ground at the same time. The heel of the right foot is also quickly lifted back, and the right foot is vigorously slammed upward, and then the toe of the right foot is twisted vigorously on the ground.

Without waiting for Krich next to him to stick to his side, Torres ran out of the bottom line as soon as he was short, and the whole person swam over Toure's shoulder like a nimble and fast fish in the water.

By the time Torres had already passed by, Toure had just made his move

Quickly adjusting his stumbling pace, Torres caught up with the ball again and sprinted towards the Gunners' penalty area.

At this time, it is finally Torres and Almunia one-on-one battle!

At this moment, Almunia has no choice, he must choose to attack.

Torres didn't hesitate and gently kicked his right foot into the bottom left of the ball, and then a wonderful arc flew towards the top left corner of the goal.

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”

Torres ran to the sidelines to celebrate, but he seemed to have forgotten that this was the Emirates Stadium and he was greeted by a wave of scolding.

"Great!" Captain Frank Lampard was the first to rush up and hugged Torres with all his strength, "You've conquered me!" ”

"That's right, you're amazing!" Arshavin also pounced on Torres at once, preventing Lampard from focusing on the front.

"Cristiano, it's not that you abandoned us, it's that we have a new candidate and we don't need you anymore." Arthur in front of the TV said firmly.

After Torres's Maradona-style goal, the game returned to its previous track again, but the score of 0:2 at this time made a huge change in the mentality of both sides of the game.

In the following game, the discouraged Arsenal had no intention of counterattacking, and Blackburn did not rush to the away game, with a score of 2:0 until the end of the game, and Blackburn advanced to this season's FA Cup final.

FA Cup + Premier League, although the Champions League lost, but Blackburn, who is aiming for a double crown, is still on the road to victory. (To be continued.) )
