Chapter 655: We're Friends

The current situation of the game is very simple, Arsenal changed their strategy to play defensive counter-attack, they are not in a hurry to score at all, they have been defending solidly, in the two-legged game, the home field is very important, if you want to win the first leg, you must play to the advantage, and if the time continues to drag, it will definitely be detrimental to Newcastle United.

What the media can see off the pitch, the players on the pitch can see.

Maybe one day a simple-minded guy who never thinks about tactics will not understand the situation at all, but Zhen Shaolong feels that as a top player, he has super high tactical thinking and his ability to read the game is first-class.

Of course.

The most important thing is that the delay in scoring goals is really a big blow to morale.

Zhen Shaolong was a little irritable.

So he decided to score a goal first and then say, no matter what happens next, taking the lead will definitely be good for the situation.

He acted.

When Newcastle United launched another attack, Zhen Shaolong was at the front and rushed into the box to look for opportunities.

The perimeter is passing.

Zhen Shaolong's position made the Arsenal back line also lag behind, and they had the intention of creating an offside trap, but Zhen Shaolong just ran forward slowly, not too much, and when the opponent attacked, the risk of creating offside was too great.

The Arsenal defenders still had to defend hard.

Denelson Jr.

Toure.

Denilson Jr. remains one of Arsene Wenger's most trusted midfielders, and he is used as a midfielder, parallel to Cesc Fabregas, but he has more defensive tasks and needs to be pulled back to help defend Zhen Shaolong.

Another defender, Alexander Song, was assigned by Wenger to defend other players, and Wenger also emphasized this point, "Alexander, you don't have to pay attention to Zhen Shaolong, pay more attention to other positions. ”

This explanation is very ordinary, and it is not ordinary.

Alexander Song's ability is still passing, and with Arsenal's injury at the back, Alexander Song is certainly the best choice to start at central defender, but in the last meeting with Newcastle United, Wenger found that Alexander Song's defense against Zhen Shaolong was very ineffective.

Of course.

Other players also failed.

But Alexander Song failed a little too much, he was easily thrown away by Zhen Shaolong several times, relatively speaking, Denelson Jr. did not have this problem, and he failed to mark Zhen Shaolong, but sometimes he was able to force Zhen Shaolong to pass.

Therefore, Wenger felt it would be better to have Alexander Song defend the others.

The above has nothing to do with the game in front of him, Zhen Shaolong likes Alexander Song's defense, because Alexander Song can talk to him and exchange ideas for making money, but he can't talk a few words when he participates in the game together, which feels really weird.

"I don't have many good friends!"

Zhen Shaolong sighed and stood on the right side of the penalty area, he waved behind him without any disguise, and Denelson Jr. and Toure next to him immediately became nervous.

Really!

The next moment Gremie picked the ball up.

"Want to grab this kind of ball? No kidding! Denilson Jr. saw Grami's pick-up pass, and immediately laughed, and his whole body became much more relaxed, he was stuck directly behind Zhen Shaolong, and there was Toure to help interfere, he could easily wait in place to push the ball out, and even consider which teammate to top it to launch a counterattack.

"It's Francesco!"

Cesc Fabregas was standing on the edge of the box, strolling backwards, keeping an eye on the box from afar.

Denilson Jr. felt that giving the ball to Cesc Fabregas would allow the team to launch a quick counter-attack, and the chances must have been very good, and by the time his mind was racing, the football had already fallen.

Denilson Jr. jumped up slightly, didn't even look at the ball closely, but looked at Cesc Fabregas's side and shook his head with great confidence.

β€œβ€”β€”οΌŸβ€

"Why didn't you get it?" Denelson Jr. couldn't keep his balance in confusion, and fell to the side and threw himself directly on the ground.

Meantime.

Zhen Shaolong stood calmly in place, and the moment he launched "Attack", he threw off Toure and rushed sideways.

Toure was paying attention to Denilson's clearance, and didn't notice Zhen Shaolong's movement at all, and when Zhen Shaolong took a step, he noticed that Denilson's head, and the football hit Denilson's shoulder and flew to the side.

Toure's eyes followed the ball and noticed something terrible - the ball rushed to Zhen Shaolong's feet accurately.

The other party did not hesitate.

Moving.

Kicker.

Shot!

The ball raced to the bottom corner of the goal and rushed into the goal without any suspense, and Almunia didn't have time to react.

β€œGooooooooooooal!!!”

"The ball is in!"

Zhen scored the first goal of the game when he received a pass from Geremi in the box...... Importantly, Denilson Jr. didn't get to the ball! ”

"He made a mistake!"

"It was a fatal mistake, for a player like Zhen Shaolong, it was instinct to seize every opportunity, and he scored the ball perfectly into ......"

With the shouts of the game commentators, the stands around the stadium turned into a sea of cheers, and the fans were celebrating excitedly, and the shouts were full of support for Zhen Shaolong, among which one sentence was the most prominent-

"Zhen Shaolong, one more!"

One more!

You're playing basketball......

Zhen Shaolong and Geremi hugged and celebrated, thanked Geremi for his assist, and when he heard the shouts around him, he couldn't help but complain, but the smile on his face did not stop, he was indeed very happy about the goal.

It's not the goal that's happy, it's the process of scoring the goal.

When he was about to complete the goal just now, Zhen Shaolong was planning to use the invincible "Attack" and "Kill" combination, but Toure reacted a beat slower, and his position was not in the kill area, the opponent actually left space, and he simply shot directly.

So that's all left with a Nirvana!

"Must Kill", activation is equivalent to a goal, a goal not only helps the team take the lead, but also has more important ......

100,000 pounds!

Sidelines.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger frowned again, "What the hell is Pereira doing, that there should be such a mistake!" ”

Arsene Wenger was very unhappy.

During this season, he continued to give Denelson Jr. opportunities, and Denelson Jr. has not had injuries and has become Arsenal's most appearing player, but Denilson's performance is not very good, at most barely qualified.

But in Arsenal's squad, barely passing is tantamount to not being qualified, so much so that the outside world says that 'Denilson Jr. is Arsene Wenger's illegitimate son'.

That's slander, and it's dissatisfaction.

Wenger doesn't care what the outside world says, he just wants to develop Denilson Jr., Denilson Jr. is a Brazilian player, the skill of the feet is not questioned, and it is rare to have strong physical fitness, Wenger hopes to cultivate a well-rounded midfielder with outstanding skills and strong confrontation ability, and partnering with Cesc Fabregas can make Arsenal's midfield extremely tough.

It is also a grievance against Cesc Fabregas.

Cesc Fabregas is indeed a genius and performs very well, but the player Wenger compares is Vieira, Fabregas is Vieira's replacement, but now a few seasons have passed, Fabregas has not been able to grow to the level of Vieira, it is still a little worse, but the top stars are like that, a little bit worse may be enough to affect the outcome of the game.

Can Cesc Fabregas continue to grow? Arsene Wenger's answer was no.

Since Fabregas can't continue to grow, he must tap the growth potential of other positions, and Denilson Jr. has frequently got the opportunity to play, but unfortunately, a season is about to pass, Denelson Jr.'s growth is there, but the degree of growth is still a lot worse, he is still immature, and there are occasional mistakes in the game, and the offense and defense do not show the characteristics of dominance.

Disappointed.

Very disappointed.

After seeing Denilson's mistake Jr., Wenger's mind drifted to next season, he felt that he could not continue like this, one season proved that failure was enough, and some players who should give up still have to give up.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Denelson Jr. didn't know that his 'mistakes' had such a big impact, and even made Wenger have the idea of 'giving up' himself.

He was also chagrined.

"What's going on? Why didn't you reach it? ”

In the face of the dissatisfaction of other teammates, Denilson Jr. could only turn a blind eye, and at the same time made up his mind to defend seriously, "You must be careful, there can be no mistakes like this." ”

Denelson's firmness played a role.

In the next game, he was very serious about Zhen Shaolong's defense, as long as Zhen Shaolong rushed to the front, he followed cautiously beside him, causing Zhen Shaolong a lot of trouble.

Zhen Shaolong was a little helpless, and also chatted with Little Denelson, "Your defense is really good, by the way, what's your name?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Denelson Jr. didn't want to talk.

"Tell me? Meet me, my name is Zhen Shaolong, you should know ......"

"Of course I do."

"Alright then, we're friends, can you stop defending me next time? You just watch me catch the ball, anyway, it's just a game, you will definitely lose, a defense is nothing......" Zhen Shaolong seriously discussed with Little Denilson.

Denelson Jr. looked over with a foolish expression.

And then.

The football suddenly rushed over, and Zhen Shaolong stuck in the main position in advance, with his back to Denelson Jr. to receive the ball.

Denilson Jr. almost scolded angrily, his attention was distracted just now, and as a result, he didn't get stuck in the first place, and he didn't notice the football coming.

Oh yes.

Bastard-ass!

Be sure to watch out for this guy's trash talk!

Zhen Shaolong's position to receive the pass is not good, it is on the outside of the big penalty area, and the position on the side has a small chance of shooting, he still has his back to the goal, and he doesn't want to pass the ball when he glances left and right, so he simply pulls the ball back and picks it up, and it is fixed on the surface of his feet.

This action is puzzling.

Little Denelson tensed his muscles, ready to deal with the turn and breakthrough at any time, Zhen Shaolong also quickly turned around, he immediately turned around and followed, and kept squeezing hard to prevent Zhen Shaolong from breaking out.

And then.

"Where's the ball?"

Denilson Jr. noticed that the ball was gone, and he paid close attention to it before noticing that the ball was on the opponent's foot.

"On the feet?"

One-step.

Two steps.

Three-step ......

Zhen Shaolong rushed forward four or five steps in a row, the football seemed to be stuck to his feet, and he didn't move at all, such an amazing ball control picture made Little Denelson directly stunned in place, and even forgot to continue to run forward to defend, but was directly rushed by Zhen Shaolong.

But rushing past Denelson Jr. is not the goal.

The Arsenal penalty area is very tightly defended, even if the football is on the surface of his feet, Zhen Shaolong can't continue to rush to the goal, he can only turn an angle and rush to the bottom line.

Toure and Alexander Song came together to defend, and they also decided to abandon their previous defenders.

If it were another player, he would definitely decide to pass the ball to his teammates, but Zhen Shaolong didn't want to pass the ball, and after continuing to take two more steps, he suddenly yelled.

"Ah......h

Both Toure and Alexandre-Song were taken aback, but that didn't stop them from moving forward.

Zhen Shaolong has rushed to the bottom line, and the effect of "Skill" has disappeared, but the football is still rolling in front.

The rest is simple.

He glanced at the position, estimated that it was about the same, took a small step along the baseline, and immediately pointed a foot behind the ball.

The ball swerved between Toure and Alexander-Song, spun towards goal, and then sprinted past Almunia in front of goal and swooped headlong into the bottom corner.
