Chapter 185: Van Persie's Contributions

Since the arrival of the young tiger Walcott, Arsenal's attack has been fierce again, and with absolute speed on the wing, Cesc Fabregas has been able to continue to plan attacks, sometimes he can play the ball to Van Persie when he is free, and sometimes Walcott has made him go hand in hand with Adebayor, bringing great threat to Villarreal's two wings.

Under the repeated impacts, Villarreal's defense line was immediately overstretched, and the Villarreal side had no choice but to strengthen the defense on the side, and at the same time let Saint and others withdraw from the back to assist in the defense to reduce the pressure, in order to stabilize the situation and then slowly try to do so.

But how can you really have the best of both worlds?

Although this approach helped Villarreal stabilize its position again for a while, the three of Santi also deprived the Yellow Submarine of the means of quick counterattack when they returned to the defense, knowing that starting from the second half and starting from the midfield are completely different things, not to mention that the grass slippery players need to pay attention at all times.

So in such a situation that is close to one-sided, Villarreal's back line finally leaked.

In the 68th minute of the game, Cesc Fabregas received a pass from Diaby and led the Arsenal to press forward from the midfield, while Saint-Tiago was also in the midfield, but in the face of the menacing Gunners, he could only rush forward with Cazorla with a moth to the fire and strive for a steal. After all, at this time, there are only three Villarreal players in this area, such as St. Ty, Cazorla and Edmilson, and at this time, Edmilson is too far away to come forward to help defend.

However, such a scramble was doomed to be hopeless, and after relying on excellent dribbling ability to shake off Santhiago, Cesc Fabregas and Nasri made a one-two to hit the wall and continue to cross Cazorla to the edge of the penalty area.

The atmosphere on the pitch also changed with this breakthrough, Arsenal fans saw that the opportunity was approaching and cheered loudly, the result of the last meeting was obviously unacceptable to the proud Arsenal, this time they certainly want to make a shame and show everyone the true strength of the Premier League giants.

In this situation, the Villarreal fans on the other side were praying and abusing the Gunners players in the hope that they would slip and fall on the pitch if they were not careful.

Maybe at this point they already subconsciously think that the existing defence will not be able to withstand the onslaught of the Arsenal team, but how is it possible to pray that the opponent will slide like this?

Facing Villarreal's relatively intact backline at this time, Fabregas thought for a moment and then kicked the ball to Walcott who was walking on the side of the penalty area, and he followed Van Persie into the penalty area, so that the already limited number of Yellow Submarine backline was bound to divide enough forces to defend themselves while also dividing troops to suppress Walcott.

Neither team has any high-pitchers who can dominate the crowd with their bounce power, but their dominance on the flanks and their ability to grab points in the box are really tough. The fullback Venta, who has been criticized by many fans as a big colander, is actually not weak in strength, but with the improvement of Villarreal's status and performance, the team is facing opponents not only in the restrictions and domestic, but from La Liga teams to European powerhouses, and it is very difficult to play with the wingers of these clubs.

The age has gone up, and the strength has been set, Venta is under tremendous pressure at this moment, how can he, who is already at a disadvantage in his heart, prevent the little tiger Walcott?

"It's beautiful! Theo Walcott cleanly broke through Villarreal full-back Venta and rushed into the box, Arsenal already had as many as three attacking players in front of Villarreal's home, and there were many players there outside the box, don't forget that Nasri's long-range shot was a must! ”

Although Villarreal's formation is still quite solid, but after all, Arsenal found a gap again, and Villarreal central defender Rodriguez could only step forward to block Walcott, no one dared to let a tiger roam in their own penalty area! Even if he's just a tiger cub! ”

At this time, the Villarreal penalty area was already in chaos, and in the face of Rodriguez's supplementary defense, Walcott surprisingly did not continue to dribble the ball but passed it back to Cesc Fabregas, and now it seems that the combined attack of the two has almost penetrated Villarreal's wing.

Seeing this scene, Pellegrini, who doesn't know Walket very well, couldn't help but be taken aback, for a substitute player, like Walcott, who is known for his breakthroughs, he usually seizes every moment to show his strength when he finally gets the opportunity to play, but this little tiger from Arsenal is free to retract and release, and he will never hesitate to pass! It's scary!

"The quality of the players at Arsenal is really strong! In such a situation, he was able to make a number of passes in the Villarreal penalty area, at which point Cesc Fabregas received Walcoat's return pass and he was about to shoot! ”

In the exclamations of the commentators, Villarreal goalkeepers Vieira and Godin had no time to think about it and could only press it to block his shot, but Cesc Fabregas slyly dribbled the ball to Van Persie, who had been waiting for a long time, who received the ball directly in the face of the empty goal and pushed it, and then he turned around without looking, turned his shirt up, put it on his head, and ran towards the corner flag area.

β€œgoal!!!! The ball is in! Wonderful Arsenal-style goal! They took the lead at the Love Song Stadium, and I believe that the whole of North London, which is not far away, is boiling over it at this moment! ”

The Frenchman's second-half substitution by Arsene Wenger had an immediate effect, and his young talent did not disappoint, with Theo Walcott and Cesc Fabregas combining to give Arsenal the lead, and Dutch striker Robin van Persie hitting the target. This time the goal did not refuse him again! ”

"5 million pounds! Walcott, who came to Arsenal for 5 million pounds in this powerful conversation, exceeded people's imagination, what a wonderful dribbling and passing, he completely played with the Villarreal people in applause! ”

Amid the cheers of the Arsenal fans and the admiration of TV commentators, the Gunners gathered Van Persie in the middle to celebrate, knowing that the attack was far from over!
