Chapter 271: Cat and Mouse Game (Part II)

Cazorla's position was not good, he was being targeted by Margery, and the angle and space of his shot became smaller and smaller, and the goalkeeper named Navas reacted extremely quickly, moving from one side of the goalpost to the other at the speed of light, oh, a glimpse of the moving wall! Not only that, but there is no room for him to pass the ball, and if he continues to pass the ball on the ground, the young centre-back named Margery will definitely clear the ball with his toes, and at the end of the day, destroy it.

He didn't hesitate, feeling the wonderful touch of his toes, and picked the ball off the ground about 30 centimeters above the ground in an unbelievable way. With just one move, Margery felt the difficulty of the Arsenal core, which was neither too much nor too little, and could be crossed from a route high above the feet of the defenders. Such technical maneuvers are the hallmark of almost every high-level athlete.

If the action is a little fancy, Real Madrid player Ozil once completed this technical action in the league while swinging his heel scorpion tail to give Ronaldo an assist, far from it, Arsenal's "little Mozart" Rosicky with this technical skill and level can also do it easily, but Mozart's knee and back injuries on the field are completely unable to support him to do such an action. Arsene Wenger has always favoured this type of technical player, and it's no secret in the Premier League that he usually doesn't hesitate to go when he comes across such a player.

The ball floats high and floats in mid-air, as if expecting its owner. Rudiger ran towards the ball, but it flew over his head towards where he had just been, and Giroud, who had stayed where he was, jumped up and into the far corner. Because the distance was too close, Navas couldn't reach it, and he had to witness this game-changing goal!

In the 41st minute of the first half, Arsenal led Portsmouth 1-0 at home!

Arsene Wenger had just done half of the celebration and finally did it in full, waving his fists and hugging the coaching staff one by one. The excited Arsenal fans in the stands sang Giroud's song, and although there was only a plain tone like "Lalala..... Gi.....roud, the Frenchman was clearly in the enjoyment of 40,000 people cheering his name, and he tilted one ear to the side, as if he wanted to make the fans louder.

Cazorla scratched his knee, which was a little sore from overpower, and ran back with a smile, Portsmouth is not easy to deal with, this team made him feel the huge pressure of the previous games against Manchester City and Chelsea, but it was still too tender!

……………..

Cazorla's feelings are exactly what Edward's feelings, Portsmouth's youth army only had less than 35% possession in front of an upgraded Arsenal side, and De Bruyne in midfield lost almost all the rhythm of the first half. The rhythm is all at the feet of that Spaniard, and immaturity is the most intuitive feeling. Ward is somewhat unwilling, he hopes that the team can play evenly with the strong teams in the midfield area, instead of blindly defending the counterattack as in the past, and the change in midfield is the key factor that supports the team from weak to strong.

Arsenal's Cazorla has already made the team suffer, Manchester City's Magician David? What about Silva? Hydward's eyes were burning at De Bruyne, he hoped that this young man would grow up quickly, quickly, so at this moment he didn't have any desire to retract at all, he just hoped that Kevin would watch and study hard, such an opportunity was rare.

'What was Antonio [Rudiger] thinking?" Although his eyes were on De Bruyne, Ward was talking about Rudiger's problem, "His job is to intercept the ball in the air, what is he doing? The question was unceremonious.

"The lad is physically stronger than Klose, taller than him, but he can't always get the ball on Milo's head," Walker next to him sighed.

"It's a big problem to determine where the ball will land in the air!" Ward's voice was a little cold.

On the other side, Finnan advised: "He has improved very quickly, and Antonio's training tasks have always been heavy. ”

Hydward's voice was still unmistakable: "Deal with him!" ”

The two assistant coaches could only sigh lightly, I don't know how many times this kind of conversation has happened, the head coach seems to never find endless faults from young players, among which the deepest feeling should be Mustafi, the jumping temperament was forced to calm down, this is a terrifying experience.

…………………

At half-time, Edward showed his unusually calm side by disrupting the tactical board that had been placed behind the door in the visitors' dressing room. He took out the tactical board, made a few tactical adjustments and said a few simple words, which were very easy to understand: "Rudiger down, Belotti on." Three defenders, bold. Don't make a mistake, let's fight and we've got 45 minutes to make history. ”

At the start of the first half, everything was as calm as usual, but the tactical balance quietly changed.

………………….

Arsene Wenger noticed the change on the other side and thought for two minutes to deliver the latest instructions to the pitch, attacking Portsmouth in the middle to open a gap from Margherina.

Generally speaking, coaches like to put their mouths on soft persimmons, and those Premier League veterans are more shrewd than the other, Martin? O'Neill's asymmetrical attacking formation had just run out of front feet, and the back foot Lao Lei used him to gouge a penalty on Mendy, and no one dared to bully Srna on the other side. But when it comes to Arsene Wenger, he always does the opposite, he likes to poke the enemy's strongest shield with his spear, defeat the opponent and destroy you at the same time, such Arsenal have created an unbeaten season, they used to be the sovereigns of fear.

The professor notices Marger, the self-proclaimed hunter's cat, but Arsene Wenger has always been a cat in football!

"A present, young man." Arsene Wenger hastily wrote down a note and asked his assistant to send it to the field, muttering to himself in peace.

The professor also looked at Hydward, unaware of what was about to happen, rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch, reminding himself that he had 42 minutes left.

Olivier? Giroud flipped the corners of his mouth when he saw the note from his coach, touched his beard, which was not thick on his chin, and gently pinched his strong pecs.

As the game resumed, Arsenal remained in possession, using Walcott's pace to launch a new attack down the flanks. The Tiger's cross created a shot from Arteta, but Navas was held firmly in his arms.

However, when Uncle Wall was about to throw the ball in his hand to launch a counterattack, he found that Margery had fallen in the penalty area, and the tall Giroud was helping him up, and Giroud was smiling like a warm sun, as if the monster-like power just now was not sent by him.

'I can give you my shirt after the game, my name is Giroud,' said the Frenchman, who extended a hand of friendship.
