Chapter 336: I Can't Find the North
Snow envelops the humble city of Parma, and the world is full of bitter cold and ice, but it does not dampen the enthusiasm of Parma fans.
Arsenal's buses were moving very slowly, and many media reporters followed in small cars, and they all ended up outside the Tardini stadium.
The fifth round of the Europa League attracted local fans to the Tardini Stadium early to cheer for Parma.
"This weather is worse than London." Wenger looked solemnly out the window at the white snow, a little missing London, although it was also cold, but it was not like Parma that only snow remained.
And Tian'er seems to be going against Arsenal, the snowflakes in the sky have never stopped, although small, but the impact on the game is definitely great. Arsenal are a team with technical flow, and they are very demanding on the weather. A snowy stadium will definitely affect the transmission cooperation between players, and it will also increase a lot of accidents, such as injuries and so on.
This is all he has to consider, think about it with his heels, the facilities of the Tardini Stadium must not be compared with the Emirates Stadium, although the facilities of the Emirates Stadium are not the top, but at least they will not be worse than Tardini.
In the dressing room, Arsene Wenger repeatedly explained that it was not a tactical play, but to avoid injuries in the game, and he didn't want to return to London City with a bunch of injuries after this game, so how would he face the more frequent domestic fixtures in the future?
No injury, at least a draw is the biggest win of the game, after all, Arsenal are still top of the group.
Crespo didn't have that much luck on their side, but the Tardini Stadium was their home stadium and they couldn't be more familiar with it, and they probably knew exactly which piece of turf had a hole.
However, Arsene Wenger's worries are obviously unfounded, and the staff at the Tardini Stadium will not let Parma's players play in a vegetable field, ensuring the quality of the field is the least they have to do, and the club is not without money for maintenance.
Wang Dalong's mood today was a little overly excited, which could be seen from his face.
He has been smiling, like a child with ADHD, he can't wait to play, today is not only a victory, but also a turning point in life, he wants to be a winner in life today, he gave himself a death order, he must do it!
For this reason, in the locker room, he also expressed his thoughts.
"Brothers, today we must give it our all and win a victory for me!"
The news that Wang Dalong is going to propose marriage on the spot has long been known to everyone. Crespo felt it was a great way to motivate the team, and he made it public with everyone.
"Boss, we'll get you what you want."
"After the game, remember to send us red envelopes."
'We want Arsenal to remember what happened here today.'
"Their pain is our happiness!"
Arsene Wenger and his team didn't know that Parma were so high-spirited, and although it was a big game, they wouldn't know that they would be able to sublimate!
The Tardini Stadium was packed, and the cold winter did not stop the enthusiasm of the fans, perhaps to ward off the cold, and they sang the team anthem early in the fan box. They were so elated that they even played with people.
On the rostrum, the owner of the club, Wu Dizou, frowned, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the club's stadium was too small, and it didn't match the current identity of Parma. He thought to himself that when the time was right, it would be time to expand the stadium, only a bigger stadium would be worthy of Parma, and now this stadium is too shabby.
When Wang Dalong led the team out of the field, the audience resounded with deafening cheers, and then sent Arsenal boos all over the field.
Parma fans will remember that their players played a hearty game in London and today they will be hoping to see the team at home to Arsenal.
※※※※
"The main players of the two teams in this game are basically on the field, Crespo is determined to let a main lineup play to the end, and Arsenal is a little surprised, originally predicted that Giroud will enter the starting lineup, but it is actually the main striker Lacazette, maybe Wenger does not trust Giroud who has been thinking about it for a long time, it is better to let Lacazette come up to play the starter. Arsene Wenger also changed his norm and played in a 4231 formation, with Alexandre Lacazette up front, Welbeck, Iwobi and Mesut Ozil behind him, Xhaka and Ramsey at the back, and Monreal, Koscielny, Mustafi and Bellerin at the back four. ”
'It seems that Arsenal were so impressed with the first leg that they didn't dare to use a back three, and the central choice was replaced, no longer Holding, and captain Mertesacker was still on the bench.
"But I think that as long as Xhaka is on the field, Arsenal's defense will still not have any good improvement, especially the configuration of those people in the front, and I feel that only Cech and the goalpost are their defensive strength, cough cough, although I say this a bit too much, but Arsenal fans should have some understanding after watching the previous games. However, the professor also had to do it as a last resort, Xhaka had a long pass, and Ramsey was so strong in front of him that he was reluctant to put it on the bench. ”
"Wang Dalong still has a lot of opportunities, but for Parma, they will actually face such a problem, both teams are actually strong in attack and weak in defense. The probability of both sides winning should be four or six, and Parma is six. I'm more optimistic that Casey and Ampadu will play a more protective role behind Wang Dalong. ”
Although Huang Jianxiang is more familiar with Serie A, he has now done his homework in the Premier League. "Although Arsenal are giants, they are actually a bit of a pseudonym, and Premier League teams can walk sideways on their doorstep at will, so why can't Parma? If you play the game with your hands and feet, the effect will be very good! ”
"The only problem is that they have to play a little tougher, a little bit more ferocious, the Arsenal players must be afraid, besides, the sky is beautiful, it's snowing a little now, it's just the right time, I can't think of a reason why they can't win the game."
Because Mertesacker couldn't play, the captain's armband was naturally worn on Cech's arm, and he secretly glanced at Wang Dalong, who was walking in front of him, and felt a little stunned in his heart.
This guy scored four goals of his own last time, so he can't let him score like this this time anyway! Will those pig teammates in the back be able to prevent it? Think about the fact that no player in his career has scored four goals against him in a single game, only him. Now in this second round of the game, he doesn't want to concede any more goals, it will be quite a shameful record.
Luckily, this guy retreated, and it wasn't so easy to get to the front, and today I wore the captain's armband, so I won't let everyone sit still.
Cech thought that he was the captain of the team at the moment, and he could dictate to everyone, which was better than before.
However, as soon as the game began, he and his teammates were dumbfounded!
Parma is pouring out of the nest! Not with Arsenal inkblot!
Ah, damn it, is that really going to be in orgasm mode in the first place? Arsene Wenger took a sip on the sidelines, a little caught off guard. However, Arsenal has fallen into passivity, and the Parma people seem to be completely unaffected by the snow, and they are pressing Arsenal to kick, which is not the same attitude as the first leg.
They played cautiously after the opening leg in the first leg, but now they pressed straight up and didn't give Arsenal any room to take it easy.
Under Parma's unprecedented pressure, the Arsenal players were in a hurry. Especially the central defenders in the back, in order to prevent mistakes, they are all directly cleared with big feet.
The result of several big feet was to return the ball to the feet of the Parma people, and finally gave it to Wang Dalong, and then Wang Dalong quickly distributed the ball to the front.
"The ball is very fast, Wang Dalong seems to be interested in passing the ball to the ground?" Huang Jianxiang immediately saw something different, it stands to reason that on rainy and snowy days, if you pass the ball on the ground, the speed of the ball will speed up a lot, if you don't want to run to death your teammates, you should wear more high balls, Wang Dalong is playing like this now, isn't it intentional?
However, the ball speed increased, and his teammates did not fall behind, and they ran quite aggressively.
Arsenal, on the other hand, was obviously not prepared, and in the first five minutes, Guedes and Kuvas had already had a chance to counterattack on the left and right wings respectively! If it weren't for the fact that Arsenal had two centre-backs just sticking to Lincoln, Lincoln might have been able to create chances on goal.
Arsenal originally wanted to stabilize the situation and then turn against the visitors, but now it is clear that they have not done so, and Parma are playing with momentum at home.
"Phew, here we go again, the Parma players can't stop! Kuvas told the advance on the left side, not taking Bellerin in front of him seriously at all, in the first round Bellerin made Kuvas unable to find the direction, always felt that Bellerin did not dare to use all his strength, ran a little cautiously, afraid of injury? In that case, he would definitely not be able to restrain Kuvas. ”
"Ampadu, Casey and Wang Dalong all came up, and all three of them crossed the half-court and pressed in unison. Ramsey's big man had to stand in front of Wang Dalong, and it would be very dangerous to give Wang Dalong a chance at this time. But the teammates trusted Wang Dalong very much, and although Ramsey stood in front of Wang Dalong, they still passed the ball to him! ”
"Wang Dalong didn't break through Ramsey and give the ball to Casey?"
"Shoot!"
"Ah, the ball is off the right post!"
"Casey's long shot!"
"What does that mean, why give the ball to Casey to shoot? Something is wrong. ”
"The ball flies quite fast, sticking to the turf. Is it also to use the slippery turf to speed up the ball and make Arsenal unguardable? ”
Although the ball was deflected, Arsenal's fierce Petr Cech still fell to the ground, not daring to be sloppy at all, who knows if the ball will suddenly change direction?
When he opened the bottom line, he didn't want to kick it out, but the Parma players had already pressed all of them, almost man-marked!
Is it really a chicken injection? Petr Cech dismissed the idea of a short pass and ended up kicking the ball off with a big kick.
Helplessly, such a kick-off eventually fell back to the feet of the Parma, and Bonucci in the middle was ready to give the ball to right-back Tymon, and after Timon took the ball, he easily transferred the ball to the middle.
Not again!
Arsenal feels a little bit of a nest up and down, when did it become that they were slipped by their opponents? Xhaka made a sliding tackle past Ethan Ampadu, but Ethan Ampadu stabbed the ball to Kessie earlier, where would Kessie let go of such an opportunity? He quickly gave the ball to Wang Dalong again.
Wang Dalong didn't stop the ball, and passed directly with a kick, and before Ramsey came up to block, the ball was like an arrow from the string, flying past Ramsey and straight into Arsenal's belly!
Lincoln forced a central defender out of the way and rushed forward.
It's about to catch up with the ball.
However, Cech had already abandoned the door and fell to the ground, holding the ball in his arms! There was no chance for Parma to successfully fight back!
It was just a little bit worse, Wang Dalong watched from a distance, and secretly said that it was a pity. The ball just now was deliberately hit in the middle, with the help of light snow and turf to speed up the ball, but he still touched the ball a little harder. In normal times, he would not pass this kind of ball, but in special weather, he is not so accurate with the strength of the ball. Of course, there is nothing wrong with failure, because he still wants to play behind Arsenal in this way.
Fail nine times, succeed once!
Cech got up from the ground and yelled at his team-mates to focus a little more, or they would all have to be beaten by Parma sooner or later.
After yelling, he quickly threw a handball to Bellerin on the right, and he was finally able to send a short pass, not a big foot.
However, he didn't expect Bellerin to pass the ball back to him after receiving the ball!
This time, the Parma pressed again, and Cech once again lost the space for a short pass.
Fack! Cech cursed in his heart, and once again had to kick the ball out quickly!
Depressed! Timid! The professor who was on the sidelines was a little crazy, and if he continued to play like this, something might happen!
As soon as he finished his heartfelt words, he found that the ball passed by Cech was actually passed to Wang Dalong! Although the big foot drove very high, it was not very far, and it happened to fly towards Wang Dalong!
Ha!
Strike!
Seeing that the ball was about to fall, Wang Dalong suddenly shook his right leg and bent his bow to shoot the eagle.
"Run! Lincoln! ”
Yes, he didn't wait for the ball to fall, and directly pumped a cross with the outside of his right foot.
The ball drew an arc of external rotation and quickly flew back in the opposite direction! Beyond Arsenal's half, it fell behind everyone like a precision missile.
"Beautiful! Nice pass! Lincoln! ”
Lincoln was prepared, and at the moment when Wang Dalong kicked out, his whole person had already started, half a step faster than Arsenal's defense!
Anti-offside success!
"Single-handed!"
Lincoln lifted his right foot, easily unloaded the full moon scimitar-like pass, and smashed the ball into the Arsenal penalty area!
This time, it's no longer Wang Dalong, it's Lincoln!
Petr Cech walked out again, but this time Lincoln was much quicker! Because Wang Dalong passed a high ball, not a bocce ball! So he's not as fast as Lincoln.
When Lincoln shoots, he will never hesitate to drag the mud and water.
After a small step adjustment, he got up and shot with his right foot!
Cech can't manage so much, his huge body has already pounced at Lincoln's feet, and at this time, he can only rush for time and rely on luck.
But...... Lincoln faked the real pass!
He swept the ball to the left!
Kuvas appeared like a ghost, facing the empty door......
At that moment, Wenger actually closed his eyes and couldn't bear to look at all this anymore.
Arsenal were beaten to the ground and couldn't find the North ......
