Chapter 817: A Sharp Counterattack (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
After the start of the second half.
Determined to 'win once', Arsenal launched a fierce offensive against Aston Villa.
However, Aston Villa have been prepared for it.
In particular, the midfield defense led by Clement is like building a wall on Arsenal's path.
If they want to capture the city, Arsenal must carry a ladder and climb the city wall with great difficulty.
At this time, he was already tired and half dead, and then he was directly overturned by the defensive defenders behind the city wall who were waiting for work, and fell into eight petals.
Whether it's Theo Walcott, or Arshavin, or Gervinho, they can't get past Clement's interception in the middle, they can only find a way to make a fuss on the wing.
However, on both flanks of Aston Villa, Kyle Walker and James Milner have long been on the lookout.
It's really hard for Arsenal to be comfortable and threaten attacking.
……
Arsenal went on a frenzied attack for more than ten minutes at the start of the second half, but could not really threaten Aston Villa's goal.
The score was still 0-2, with the visiting team Arsenal two goals behind.
In this situation, Wenger could not sit still, and he began to make substitutions in the 58th minute of the game.
He replaced Arshavin with Benayoun.
Seeing this substitution, He Wei, who was commentating on the game on CCTV, introduced the Israeli player to the fans.
'The midfielder from Israel was well known when he was at West Ham United and Liverpool.
'Benayoun's highlight came during his time at Liverpool.
In Benitez's Liverpool, Benayoun's performance is still quite impressive.
The Israeli style is smart enough, the appearance is high enough, although the body hardware is poor, but the ball quotient is extremely high, known as the Israeli Xiaobei.
Benayoun's best play at Liverpool was the 2007/2008 Champions League season, when Liverpool thrashed Besiktas 8-0 at home.
In that game, Benayoun scored a hat-trick to help the team create the biggest point difference in the Champions League. ”
"Hey, hey, Benayoun later had a masterpiece, which was to carry Drogba to protect the ball in the corner flag area, and then was kicked on the ass by Bosingwa." Zhang Lu interjected.
'That's right, and then Benayoun and Benitez got out and went to Chelsea. There's a story—"
According to the rules of the Blues dressing room, new recruits had to sing, and he sang the Red Army song 'You Will Never Walk Alone'...... Yikes, fouls? Benayoun was brought down, didn't he commit a foul? He Wei said.
It was Benayoun dribbling the ball and he Milner tackled to the ground.
The referee signaled no foul and the game continued.
This caused strong displeasure from Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger on the sidelines, and the professor protested loudly on the sidelines.
Inside the field, Arsenal midfielder Arteta also chased back and pointed to the referee at Benayoun, who was still on the ground.
The referee ignored him.
Aston Villa counter-attacked and Milner stabbed the ball past Bale.
Bale took two steps, cut inside towards the middle, and after attracting the attention of the Arsenal defence, knocked the ball to Luka Modric, who was interspersed on the wing, before turning and slotting into the box.
Coquelin stretches out his foot to break the ball.
Luka Modric slammed the ball past Coquelin and slammed it down.
Suarez retreated.
Instead of dribbling the ball, the Uruguayan pushed the ball diagonally and Mane cut in at high speed to reach the ball.
Mane, who plugged in, took the ball and burst forward.
Then he faced Arteta's pressing, a change of direction in a high-speed dribble, past Theo Walcott, and then he faced Arteta.
Again a pick-up, a smash, an acceleration, Arteta was also passed.
Seeing Arteta passed directly by Mane, Arsenal's central defender Mertesacker wanted to curse angrily.
Arsene Wenger had the right starting point for Artetado to help defend.
However, Arteta moved closer to the ribs on this side and could maintain defensive density with the rest of the players.
However, the hidden danger is that once there is a breakthrough player, or is beaten by the opponent, the direct victim is Mertesacker.
At this time, Suarez and Klose were already waiting in front of the door, and Suarez raised his hand high, meaning: Love Black Duck!
It was very similar to the goal conceded by Arsenal in the first half, with Mertesacker in a one-on-three position in the moment:
Only that time it was Bale who won the ball on the left, and this time it was Mane on the right.
Sadio Mane sends the ball straight to goal.
Klose grabs the lead.
Mertesacker learned the lesson of that conceded goal and pounced on the post.
The two men collided and collapsed in the restricted area.
Fang Jue yelled on the sidelines, meaning that Mertesacker put down Klose, this is a penalty!
The referee did not interrupt the game because the football was touched by two people who don't know who and flew towards the goal.
Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny single-handedly knocks the ball out.
Just when Arsenal fans breathed a sigh of relief.
Suarez's header in front of goal flicked the ball towards his flank, which led to Koscielny's debut for a header.
Then, when everyone saw the place where the football landed, a figure appeared!
The Arsenal man immediately felt a chill in his heart, because the figure's shirt was the burgundy shirt of the opponent Aston Villa!
It's Bell!
The Welsh star met the falling football, paused (not a typo) and then picked up his left foot and fired.
The football flew straight into the net.
Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny just turned his head to look at the goal and saw the ball spinning in the net...... This ball is not something he can save at all!
"Hooray! Bel! Banzai! Aston Villa!! ”
“Gooooooooal!!! Aston Villa have extended the gap to three goals!! Bel!! He scored his second goal of the game! ”
"Gareth. Bel! Score with a spectacular volley! ”
"A brace! Bale's form is so good, 3-0, Aston Villa lead Arsenal by three goals! ”
In the stands of Villa Park, there were huge cheers.
Aston Villa's players came running in from all directions, chasing Bale and celebrating the goal together.
The Arsenal players rushed to referee Atkinson, who were complaining.
Arsenal believe that when Aston Villa attacked, Milner brought down Benayoun, and that the break was a foul and the whistle should have been blown to stop the game.
……
Arsene Wenger was furious.
The professor had every reason to be angry, insisting that Aston Villa had fouled first, so there would have been no subsequent goal.
And this conceded goal can be said to kill the game directly, and Arsenal, which is three goals behind, can basically be said to be defeated.
After replaying Bale's goal in slow motion, Milner's break also began.
"Let's take a look at it again, Milner's tackle this time, it is true that there is no foul, Milner is very experienced, he judged Benayoun's intention to dribble in advance, and made a beautiful tackle." The narrator said as he watched the slow-motion replay.
The referee's decision was decisive and unmistakable!
Bale also waved into the stands after celebrating with his teammates, prompting even louder cheers from the fans.
"Slow motion showed that Milner's interception was very clean and there were no foul......s," said Howe, "and Arsenal looked to be worse off and Benayoun appeared to be injured. ”
'There was no foul on Milner's tackle, but Benayoun seemed to have a hard foot when he fell to the ground......
Fang Jue glanced at the angry professor, and also shook his head: This luck is also unlucky.
He swore by the floodlights on the pitch that he really didn't use the Yellow Lucky Ball or the Yellow Bad Luck Card this time.
It can only be said that the handsome and strong are even more favored by the goddess of luck.
