Chapter 107: Where is the counterattack?

The Arsenal players, who were taken aback by Luton's attack, quickly launched a counter-attack.

They also realised that if Luton had been lucky enough to score a goal, their lead would have been levelled immediately. The Arsenal players don't allow that to happen!

So they quickly launched a ferocious attack in hopes of scoring the second goal of the game!

In the face of Arsenal's attack, Luton's side is still using their accustomed defensive style to deal with the opponent, the dense formation makes it difficult for Arsenal's middle to play goals, Luton's players move very well as a whole, and the coordinated defensive position makes it difficult for Arsenal to find space in the middle.

After Hassan Ali came off the pitch, Cesc Fabregas came alive again, stomping the ball at his feet in the centre circle and looking at the crowd in front of him, as if Luton always had more players than Arsenal in any position.

But Fabregas is a genius after all, and genius is always able to find gaps that ordinary people can't find.

He picked up the ball and picked it over the heads of the Luton midfield defenders and found Arshavin who opened up space on the wing.

Luton Town defended densely in the middle, while the wings were relatively empty.

Arshavin stopped the ball steadily, but he didn't have the space to continue to break through the middle, maybe he could choose to go down, but after going down, he still had to pass the ball back to the middle and let the striker or other midfielders step forward to complete the fatal blow.

However, Arshavin looked at the dense crowd in the box and the two Luton defenders standing in front of him, one left and one right.

Arshavin does not know what their names are, and for the Russian star, such an opponent is not yet worth remembering him.

Either way, though, both men got stuck in front of him, making it difficult to get crosses.

There was little chance of a low cross because Luton's defenders in the box were so dense that they basically jammed the lines of low crosses.

So Arshavin tried a high ball to find the top of Adebayo's head.

Adebayo looked at the incoming ball in the air and first tried to squeeze Matt Schmidt, but Matt Schmidt did not move, but Adebayo was hit and his center of gravity was a little unstable.

So the ball was pushed out by Matt again.

Arsene Wenger was anxious to watch from the sidelines, and he wanted to scold Adebayo for whether there was something wrong with his brain.

"Positioning!! Run!! Wenger shouted at Bam Adebayo on the pitch.

"He can't keep up with you!!"

After shouting, Wenger angrily sat back in the dugout.

Adebayo went to fight Matt, isn't this attacking others' strengths with his own shortcomings? Bam Adebayo's advantage against Matt is his footwork and his experience as a centre-forward, his skill in positioning.

These things are things that Matt, a stupid big man, can't catch up with Adebayo.

However, Adebayor didn't hear Wenger too clearly, and instead he got into a fight with Matt.

For Bam Adebayo, who is just a player in the second division, he actually fell behind in headers and physical duels?

This time I have to get it back.

So then Matt continued to put the ball on top of Adebayo's head, Adebayo didn't take advantage of it at all, Matt was more and more confident!

Gao Bo was very happy on the sidelines, Arsenal now ground ball can not enter the penalty area, the high ball is controlled by Luton again, now in defense, Luton has finally stabilized temporarily, even if Arsenal tried a few long-range shots from the periphery, it did not threaten Luton's goal, and as time went by, Arsenal's players were a little anxious.

Gao Bo was very satisfied with Matt's performance in this match.

At least in the high-altitude ball defense in the penalty area, Matt did a good job, but unfortunately his feet were still a little too rough, otherwise, Gao Bo even wanted to transform Matt into a strengthened version of Fellaini.....

But now it is Arsenal who dominate the attack, and as Arsenal press more and more, their attack is becoming more and more ferocious!

Van Persie, in particular, is starting to grow in his threat!

Van Persie's range of motion is very large, which makes it difficult for his youngster Jeffrey to keep up with the pace.

This is actually normal, Jeffrey was completely crushed by Van Persie in terms of strength, and Gao Bo was not surprised by this.

In the 57th minute of the game, Van Persie received the ball at the top of the penalty area and turned and volleyed!!

The ball passed through the dense crowd in the penalty area, and it was almost the only line that could have hit the goal without hitting the other players, and it was found by Van Persie.

Gao Bo's heart tightened, he almost thought that his team was about to concede the second goal....

But the goalpost saved Luton!!

Van Persie's shot hit the post and went off the line!!

"Oh... Almost... Van Persie came close to helping Arsenal seal the win!! "But the situation is also very bad for Luton, they are one goal behind now, and in attack, Luton are still being suppressed by Arsenal." Perhaps the only good news for Luton Town is that they have yet to concede a second goal. ”

Van Persie was disappointed to have a shot denied by the post, but Arsenal's attack became more ferocious.

In the 59th minute of the game, Arshavin successfully broke through on the side and shot from a small angle in the penalty area was blocked by the goalkeeper. The ensuing corner was followed by Van Persie's header at the front post and the ball grazed the far post....

The cheers of the Arsenal fans in the stands came one after another, and the hearts of the 40,000 Luton fans in the stadium were tugging, and it looked as if Luton could concede a second goal at any moment!

"See, Xiao Liu, a dark horse is a dark horse after all!!" The reporter Zhang Xing in the media seat looked very clear, "This Gao Bo's FA Cup is over here!" ”

Xiao Liu's brows were tightly locked, and he looked at the situation on the field with some concern. He supports Gao Bo, after all, he is a young man who has just come out of society, and his heart is high-spirited, and he has not yet reached the time when he is as cynical as the middle-aged man next to him...

In fact, Gao Bo was also worried in his heart, but he was looking at Arsenal's backfield at this time!

Unconsciously, Arsenal except for the goalkeeper, almost all the players pressed through the half!!

In the Arsenal half, there was space of tens of metres for Luton to counter-attack!! Gao Bo quietly cast his eyes there, as if he was afraid that Arsenal would react and fill in the place again.

But the premise of a counter-attack is to defend against Arsenal's attack first.

Van Persie's goalpost is a cautionary tale!!

This means that Luton's defence is slowly losing track of such a ferocious attack, and the only way to turn the tide is to make a swift counter-attack and suppress Arsenal's increasingly ferocious attack....

When will the counterattack come? No one knows!!

Arsene Wenger also sees gaps in Arsenal's back, but he's also betting!! Bet on Arsenal to score the second goal first!!

Judging by the scene of the game, Arsenal are almost dismantling Luton's defensive system.

Although Bam Adebayo can't get a bargain over Matt's head, Luton don't necessarily have much of an advantage in other attacking points, and with Arsenal's two full-backs pressing up, they are almost used as wingers! This has also given Arsenal more attacking numbers, which has made it more difficult for Luton to defend.

Just when Gao Bo was a little anxious, in the 63rd minute of the game, Van Persie wanted to repeat his previous shot at the top of the penalty area, but Kante had already taken precautions at this time.

As soon as Van Persie picked up his right foot, N'Golo Kante rushed up and shoveled the ball away.

Gao Bo's muscles tensed, but he didn't shout.

Counterattack....

The counterattack that Luton wants is coming!!
