Chapter 130: Conquest (5,000 chapters, don't ask for anything, don't know what to ask for)

With six consecutive passes, the four players in front of Arsenal made wonderful crosses and cuts in the tight space in the large penalty area where Valencia was heavily packed, and the cooperation between them was so tacit that the Valencia players were completely toyed with.

The never-ending singing of Wembley Stadium suddenly came to a halt at this time, followed by earth-shattering cheers, and after seeing too many other teams in the Premier League open and close the attack, the Arsenal team's opening performance was as exquisite as royal porcelain from the Far East, and the excited Arsenal fans felt that they had a sense of comfort from head to toe.

Ribery was also stunned after the goal, 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 compared to that goal, today's goal was so important that Ribery himself was now completely in a trance, and he forgot where he was now.

As a compatriot, Henry pounced on the first time and threw the stunned Ribery to the ground, although the ball was the result of teamwork, but as the scorer Ribery, Henry was also happy for him.

There was also jubilation on the Arsenal bench on the sidelines, Wenger shook his head in disbelief, he didn't expect the players to play such a wonderful combination today, such a combination is rarely played even in training.

Compared to the jubilation of the Arsenal side, the Valencia side inevitably looked a little flustered, and their defense was like a broken net under the cooperation of the opponent, and they were casually played by the opponent, such a result is intolerable to the Valencian youngsters, who have always been arrogant.

Valencia manager Cooper also looked a little off the pitch in the face of a goal that could have been voted the best goal of the season in the Champions League, and Cooper couldn't figure out how Arsenal's players could find the best passing route under such a tight defence.

Cooper, who was in a state of thought and stunned, subconsciously touched the pocket of his suit, 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 locker room before the game, and it was Cooper who realized that he was in the game, and in order to hide the embarrassment, he could only pick up the water at his feet and take a sip.

Less than five minutes into the game, Arsenal breached the goal of Valencia and put the two teams back on the same page.

Valencia looked a little overwhelmed after the kick-off, and the captain of the midfield, Mendieta, found that his teammate did not seem to have any intention of running after receiving a return pass from his team-mate, so he could only continue to pass the ball back while shouting to his team-mate: "Run, run." ā€

However, his voice could not be transmitted at all in the renewed singing of the Arsenal fans, Mendieta could only run as much as possible to drive his teammates to run, although he needed to consume a lot of physical strength, but in this game, Mendieta could only hope that the team would recover as soon as possible, and physical strength or anything was no longer something he should consider.

Thanks to Mendieta's tireless movement, the situation in Valencia gradually stabilized.

Arsenal immediately launched a formation to press Valencia after Valencia restarted, and the Arsenal team, which has already come up, can't consider the problem of physical strength now, what they want now is to break through the opponent's door again.

Liu Han, who came to the forward position, did not take the initiative to retreat and defend as in the previous game, because the Valencia team has been on their feet in their own half at this time, and they have not yet fully attacked.

Seeing that the team was suppressed by the Arsenal team, Cooper ran to the sideline and waved his arms vigorously, he signaled the players to press out as much as possible to play, not to be suppressed by the Arsenal team in the half, Cooper knew very well that once the Valencia team lost its sharpness, it would definitely not be Arsenal's opponent.

The two teams gradually engaged in fierce battles in midfield, and although Valencia's players did not have an advantage in the confrontation, their skills at their feet were indeed better than those of Arsenal's players, so the situation was still under control.

However, Liu Han's constant interference in the midfield still affected Valencia's attack to a certain extent, and their consistent coordination and surprise attack did not play well.

Twenty minutes into the game, Valencia found a good opportunity.

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

Immediately after receiving the ball, Herard met Adams's defense, and in the face of the experienced Adams, Herard did not rush to the force, but re-passed the ball to the feet of Lopez, who retreated to receive it.

Lopez picked up the ball and got away from Winterburn's defence with a clever lateral dribble, and then he passed the ball again to the feet of Gerard on the right, who was already free of Adams' defence.

Gerrard got the ball and went straight to the bottom before Adams could get back to his side with an inverted triangle pass to find Lopez.

Arsenal's defence was a little too tight in the box, so much so that they missed Lopez on the edge of the penalty area, who received the ball and fired straight at goal, sending a wave of fan exclamations at Wembley Stadium.

However, Lopez's shot from Hee-Man, who was in good form, went straight to the bottom line, aiming to make amends for his sin of being sent off in the quarter-finals, and David Seaman worked very hard in this game.

However, although this goal threatens the door of the Arsenal team, but it also shows a disadvantage of the Valencia team, they do not have a suitable support point in the penalty area, so that the attacking players on the wing do not dare to pass the ball to the middle, if the Valencia team has a stable performance of the high forward, then their two breakthrough ability can fully play their role, but unfortunately, Valencia does not have such a player now.

Valencia's attack was also a wake-up call for Arsene Wenger, whose line of defenders was indeed a bit aged, so much so that an attack like the one he had just done would be inadequate.

However, although Arsenal have a lot of holes at the back, the players in midfield are in great form today.

Liu Han rarely returned to the back field completely today, but more in the midfield, and he realized that instead of retreating to participate in passive defense, it is better to threaten the opponent's door as much as possible, which can also relieve some pressure on the team's defense.

After scoring such a wonderful combination in the opening period, Arsenal's front-line players seemed to be obsessed with that feeling, and they have been passing as much as possible so far in the game, which makes the team look very good on the field, but in essence, such a pass lacks some purpose.

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

Thirty-nine minutes into the game, Liu Han, who had been passing the ball aimlessly in the midfield, suddenly broke through with the ball after receiving the ball.

Mendieta's defense is good among the midfielders in La Liga, but it doesn't play a role at all in the face of Liu Han, who after receiving the ball, he stepped on a simple bicycle twice to shake Mendieta away, and then drove straight into the ball himself.

Valencia attached great importance to Liu Han's breakthrough, and Farinos and Angeloma began to approach Liu Han.

But at this moment, Liu Han, who was originally breaking through to the right side, suddenly sent a diagonal transfer ball, and the ball flew directly from the air to the left side of the court, where Ribery had already inserted it at high speed, but Liu Han was still running to the right side.

Although Ribery has scored a goal in this game, his presence is not strong, after all, he is a newcomer who is not yet seventeen years old, and it is difficult for such a newcomer to attract the attention of the other party, but at this time the Valencia team had to pay attention to Ribery, because Ribery, who was on the left side with the ball, chose to cut directly inside.

Ribery showed his strength in this attack with a very fast dribble and a very good combination of man and ball, and the ball was under Ribery's control at high speed.

Valencia's right-back Djukic immediately ran towards Ribery, but he clearly underestimated Ribery's pace, and with a simple acceleration shake, Ribery threw Djukic behind.

Ribery, who was already close to the edge of the penalty area, curled a curling ball with the outside of his right foot when Valencia centre-back Manuel Pellegrino was about to come up.

This strange pass made the Valencia team feel terrible, because according to the line and height of the ball, it was obvious that Liu Han was looking for the back point.

Valencia's other centre-back, Herrado, jumped up to push the ball out, but he miscalculated the arc of the ball, which Ribery rubbed with the outside of his right foot, contrary to the usual right-footed cross from the left, and Hellardo made a mistake at the crucial moment.

Liu Han's position at this time was close to the baseline position, which made Valencia a little relieved, after all, his position was so close to the baseline and outside the big penalty area.

But at this moment, Liu Han moved his feet and stepped on the position, and his right foot directly swung and volleyed, which was also the outside instep of his right foot to touch the ball, but Liu Han's ball arc was higher and the power was greater, and he chose to shoot directly when the angle with the goal was less than ten degrees, which was so similar to the "zero angle" volley scored by Van Basten in the 1988 European Cup against the former Soviet Union.

Liu Han's shot was beyond everyone's expectations, Canizares was already standing close to the near post, and when he realized that Liu Han had chosen to shoot directly, it was too late to retreat, so he could only spread his body back as much as possible after jumping, hoping to reach the ball.

However, Canizares couldn't touch the shot in the end, and Liu Han controlled the angle of the ball even though it was close to zero angle, and the ball grazed the lower edge of the crossbar and flew into the goal, giving Arsenal a 2-0 lead in the first half.

The singing at Wembley Stadium was midway again, but this time the fans didn't even have a chance to froze as they were completely conquered by such a goal, and there was nothing more exciting than seeing a goal that would go down in Champions League history in such a crucial game.

The camera of the live broadcast swept over the audience, Arsenal fans were so excited that they were about to burst into tears, and on the bench in Valencia, the young substitute players also held their heads in their hands and looked at the tall Oriental man with his arms raised in the stadium with incredible eyes, 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 liked the feeling of scoring a goal, and he also liked to hear the cheers of his supporters, Ribery ran over as soon as Liu Han scored, and then jumped on Liu Han's back, he was also very excited, nothing could be more exciting than an assist for his idol.

Bergkamp also ran to Liu Han's side, but he has always been more restrained, but this time he got down on one knee, and then put Liu Han's right foot on his own knee to make a shoe-shine gesture, and the Dutchman was also conquered by Liu Han's performance.

At this time, the Valencia players watched the Arsenal players celebrate a little blankly, if they were just a little depressed by the equalizing goal, then now they are about to despair, such a goal, such an outstanding star, how can they not despair.

Cooper on the sidelines tried to touch his pocket again, but there was no tobacco there to ease his despair, and Cooper didn't know what to do with the game.

After Arsenal's celebrations, Valencia returned to kick-off, but at this point they were in a trance, not knowing whether to attack or defend, and if it weren't for Mendieta and Canizares shouting at their team-mates, they might have made some low-level mistakes.

The first half of the game ended with Arsenal leading by two goals and they were in a good position, but it wasn't safe that if they let Valencia score an away goal, Arsenal would also be eliminated due to a lack of away goals.

At half-time, Arsenal's dressing room was cheerful, the players were in a relaxed state, and Liu Han's performance gave everyone a sense of security.

After the break, Valencia, who returned to the pitch, have regained their form and are now at an absolute disadvantage, and if they can't get the score back, Valencia will have nothing to gain this season.

After the restart of the game, Valencia's movements began to get bigger, although they have a great physical advantage when they are young, but at the same time, their mood swings will be relatively large, and because of the emotional influence, 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, and the current Arsenal team may have a lot of holes in the defense, but in attack, they have entered a wonderful state, the Arsenal team is not only playing at this time, but enjoying the game more, enjoying the comfort after playing a wonderful combination, all the players have great trust in their teammates, and at the same time they are always looking for the right running route.

In the face of such an Arsenal team, youth is no longer an advantage of the Valencia team, which has become more of a disadvantage for them, and Arsenal's attack has repeatedly played Valencia's players.

In the 64th minute of the game, Arsenal played a wonderful combination on the right side, Liu Han, Bergkamp and Overmars played a series of one-twos, and then Overmars broke through on the right side twice in a row to shake Kirigonzalez to the ground, and the angry Kiri Gonzalez did an irrational act, he used a back-tackle to put Overmars to the ground, and also sent himself off the field.

The earth-shattering boos sent Kiri Gonzalez off the field, as well as to the rest of Valencia's players, and although Cooper insisted on making adjustments at this time, he knew that his heart was in chaos, like a pile of twine that had been piled up for a hundred years, and he could not find a suitable "thread".

Valencia were on the verge of collapse at this point, with a predominantly young team paying the price for their youth.

Downed to the ground, Overmars was checked by the team doctor and returned to the pitch and was fine, as Arsenal's attack did not stop because of the foul, and they were about to kill the game completely.

In the 70th minute of the game, Arsenal took advantage of Valencia's passing error in front of the game to play a quick counter-attack.

Adams passed to Ovemars in front of him on the right side, and Ovemars took the ball with his back and knocked it directly to Liu Han who came to answer in the middle, and Liu Han did not bring more knocks back to Adams.

Adams plays a long pass to Ljungberg near the halfway line on the right.

By this time, Arsenal's attacking line was fully unfolded, and Ljungberg tucked the ball straight into Ribery on the left flank, who slammed his heel back to Ljungberg who continued forward.

Ljungberg did not stop the ball and directly knocked the ball to Liu Han in the middle again, at this time the ball had advanced to about 20 meters outside the penalty area, and Valencia's defense was completely attracted to the left side by Ribery and Ljungberg's running.

Liu Han continued to pass a kick to the right side of the back plugged in Overmars, Overmars made a strong breakthrough to the bottom line but knocked the ball to Bergkamp near the line of the big penalty area again, Bergkamp crotch leaked, behind him was Henry who pulled to the middle, Henry knocked the ball back, at this time Valencia's defense has been completely disrupted by Arsenal's series of cooperation, Liu Han received the ball less than five meters outside the penalty area, and there was no one around him to defend him.

A powerful cannon blasted open the gates guarded by Canizares for the third time, and at the same time completely extinguished Valencia's last bit of hope.

The final 20 minutes were a bit distracted, with Valencia failing to organise an effective comeback in desperation, while the Arsenal players were looking forward to their first Champions League final.

In the end, Arsenal beat Valencia 3-0 to become the first team to reach the Champions League final this season, and Valencia paid the price they deserved for their youthfulness. (To be continued.) )
