Chapter 288: Two Leaks

In the 30th minute of the first half, Zambrotta crossed from the left, Trezeguet chose to head the ball when there was no way to directly head the goal, and Ibrahimovic, who received it outside the penalty area, fired a burst shot, and the ball flew out of the bottom line against the post, almost breaking the Arsenal goal.

Two minutes later, it was Ibrahimovic again, who picked up the ball at the top of the box and picked up a cross into the box, but Trezeguet was half a beat slow and was confiscated by Lehmann.

In just a few minutes, Juventus played several sharp attacks under the instigation of Ibrahimovic, but they all missed the goal, which really made Ibrahimovic regret.

However, while Juventus is attacking, Arsenal can also play counter-attacks, with Quaresma, Arsenal seems to have become the most efficient counter-attacking team in European football.

After a wave of Juventus' attack, Ashley Cole dribbled the ball on the left side, burst into a distance and handed the ball to Quaresma, at this time, Quaresma had already shaken off Zebina, got the ball without interference, turned and strode towards the Juventus penalty area, extremely sharp.

Zebina made a side tackle, although Quaresma could get a yellow card for Zebina, but this wasted a good opportunity to counterattack, so Quaresma flexibly jumped over Zebina and continued to rush forward, leaving no foul for the Frenchman.

At this time, Cannavaro and Thuram remained in the back of the field, and the world-class defensive combination did not make much use of Quaresma's goal, and it has always been a feeling of grievance, and now, at last, there is a chance to intercept Quaresma to prove himself.

Thuram came up, the Frenchman with all-round defensive ability can play center back and full-back, naturally he is also familiar with the defensive style of the fullback, always maintaining a distance from Quaresma, blocking in front of Quaresma, if Quaresma makes a slight mistake with the ball, he will stretch out his foot to grab the ball, if Quaresma does not make a mistake, he just needs to slow down Quaresma's running speed.

It's a very old-fashioned way of defending, and although Quaresma can control the ball very well, there is really no good way to defend this kind of defense, especially when the top defenders defend themselves in this way.

The distance was just right to make Quaresma uncomfortable, enough to ensure that Thuram had enough room to react when Quaresma made a move, which minimized Quaresma's breakthrough.

If you change to other defensive players, you may not be able to do this, but today Thuram also played at a super level, and he has always controlled the distance very well.

What to do?

Quaresma naturally knew that Thuram couldn't maintain this defensive rhythm forever, but now that he has limited himself, he can't make a breakthrough.

Arsenal's counterattack is not only due to Quaresma's credit, but also the fast horse Ljungberg and the all-round Henry are also important weapons in the counterattack.

Since you can't come by yourself, let's seek cooperation with your teammates, anyway, this kind of counterattack routine is the focus of several people's drills, and now it's not abrupt at all.

With a wrong right foot, he slammed the ball to the right with his left foot, then suddenly burst out of his speed, brushed past Thuram, and continued to rush towards the Juventus penalty area.

Thuram had already seen Quaresma split the ball, and at that moment, he made the decision to let Quaresma go and keep an eye on Henry, who passed the ball to Henry, and now, the threat had shifted to Henry's side, and as for Quaresma, Cannavaro behind him would take him down.

However, Henry did not catch the ball, but missed the ball, leaking the ball to Ljungberg behind him, and the next second, he also passed Thuram.

And Ljungberg didn't stop the ball, before Thuram pressed over, he sent the ball directly into the penalty area, and this pass made Thuram completely lose his temper.

In front of goal, Henry and Quaresma had formed a double goalkeeper, while Cannavaro could only defend one, and in a tense situation, the Italian kept Henry in a tight block, because he felt that Henry was far more dangerous than Quaresma in the box.

But in the next second, Henry made a move that shocked Cannavaro, the French striker stretched out his foot again two seconds after the previous leak, and leaked the ball, the whole process went smoothly, which shocked Cannavaro.

Quaresma behind him didn't expect Henry to leak the ball, but he still reacted quickly, hurriedly adjusted his posture, stretched out his foot and poked the ball into the Juventus goal, despite Buffon's efforts, but the distance was so close, unless the shooter did not master the footwork well, it was impossible for the goalkeeper to stop it.

Ball, again!

Quaresma's stab was mostly a knee-jerk reaction, and it wasn't until the ball went into the Juventus goal that he reacted and they scored again.

Jumping directly on Henry in two steps, with irrepressible excitement on his face, Quaresma knew that all the credit for this goal should be credited to Henry.

Although the three and two attackers have a clear advantage in counterattacking, Juve's two central defenders are world-class, and the slightest mistake will end in a terrible counterattack.

Under Henry's two leaks, Juve's two central defenders did not play a role in the defense at all, and although they worked hard in the whole process, they could only watch Arsenal send the ball into their own goal almost the whole time.

Highbury was boiling, they once again witnessed the Gunners' gorgeous style of play, under Henry's genius, a simple counterattack played an artistic effect, in this world, I am afraid there is no more gorgeous team than Arsenal's attack.

Henry was also very excited, although he was suppressed by Quaresma, and then by his teammates who rushed over, but the raised fist still declared his inner peace.

King Highbury is under pressure!

Although Quaresma is the best team-mate, Henry also has his own pride, when Quaresma has scored the opponent's goal again and again, Henry will be proud of the team's victory, and will applaud Quaresma's performance, but in his heart, he expects himself to perform better.

I'm the King of Highbury!

Not only does he want to take Arsenal to greater heights, but he also wants to take his personal reputation to the next level, and now that is the peak of his entire career, he doesn't want to be a complete wingman for Quaresma.

So, Henry also broke out!

This classic and infinitely wonderful counterattack is destined to go down in history and become the deepest memory in the hearts of countless fans!
