Chapter 432: Find Weaknesses
In this way, a large net dedicated to the left side of Arsenal was rolled out.
Pire's current defense is honest, it has been a big improvement compared to when he was in Bordeaux, the original defense is basically eye-catching, if it weren't for Lizarazu's toughness, and the unremitting running of the two back midfielders, he is definitely a big hole in Bordeaux. Now Pire is not just relying on his eyes, he has begun to run with the offensive players, whether he can prevent it or not, his awareness is still worthy of recognition.
Thuram saw the defensive nature of Pire, he may not be able to beat Pire, but the new Argentine kid is still very good, so Thuram ran to the side to pull away Ashley Cole, so that Camoranesi and Pire one-on-one.
Camoranesi accelerated with the ball, and originally thought that the Arsenal players running next to him were annoying, but the more he ran, the more confused he became, why was there no physical confrontation at all?
Camoranesi may have known something, and he deliberately went to find a physical confrontation, his short stature and low center of gravity, arched towards Pire's body, and directly pushed Pire out half a step. Taking advantage of the gap, Camoranesi flashed quickly past Pire's side and cut inside to the edge of the box.
But in this position, Camoranesi can't be presumptuous, because at Arsenal Vieira's territory, no one can be presumptuous here, stretching his long legs, although he fouled, he still put Camoranesi down at the edge of the penalty area.
There is no way, where Vieira is is the barrier, Fan Shang didn't expect Camoranesi to cut in so fearlessly to the middle.
Fan Shang hurriedly gave the players on the field a gesture to the side, telling them not to go to the middle to find trouble, the side cross is a good offensive means, and there is no need to go to the middle to face hard.
Thuram understood what he meant, and was afraid that Camoranesi wouldn't understand, so he went and told him that the newcomer always had to be connected.
Then the two started a series of one-two games on the left side of Arsenal, due to the limited space on the side, both of them had to go that Ashley Cole became the one who couldn't get around, and Pire was directly ignored by the two.
Camoranesi is no longer facing Pire's hand-to-hand combat like just now, he is more likely to use a combination of slams and buckles, and use a change of direction to shake off Pire. At the same time, as long as you notice that Ashley Cole has to come over to make up for the defense, it is natural to push it to Thuram.
After playing like this a few times, Pire and Ashley Cole also learned, and the two teams formed a situation of blowing up each other on this side, but neither really threatened the opposing goal.
However, Fan Shang is already sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, waiting for Arsenal to come up and attack, which side is the direction behind Inter Milan's focus.
Arsenal also played very smart, moving left and right, so that Inter Milan really did not grasp their weaknesses, and their attacking energy was also scattered, and guerrilla warfare could not bring any threat to Inter Milan's defense.
That's it for the first half, Fan Shangqi returned to the locker room with a score of 1:0 satisfied.
Arsene Wenger was not satisfied, not only did he waste a substitution, but he also failed to recover the score, and if the second half was like this, Arsenal might have to say goodbye to the Champions League again.
Arsene Wenger was still a very determined man, playing the second card in his hand at the beginning of the second half, replacing Ljungberg, who was absent in the first half, and replacing Vincent's old department Wiltord, who was also brought in by Wenger from Bordeaux at a large price this season.
In fact, in Wiltord's transfer, it was Vincent who cheated Wenger, Wenger actually wanted to bid to buy Wiltor before the European Cup, it was Vincent who kept pressing, and waited until after the European Cup, but he didn't expect a European Cup final to increase Wiltor's value, Wenger finally vomited blood to buy the striker he had coveted for a long time, but the price was almost doubled.
Wiltord's arrival has changed Arsenal from a 442 formation to a 433, and the two wings are now crammed with more people, bringing the already white-hot competition to another level.
Vincent also made his own response after seeing Arsenal's substitution, Emerson followed the ball to fill in the position, and Redondo and Vieira just got rid of it.
Thierry Henry's damage on the flanks was actually very powerful, but his lack of headers in the middle was not obvious on the flanks, and Henry, Pire and Ashley Cole made a mess of Inter Milan's defense on the right side.
Let Arsenal create a lot of killing opportunities on this side, but unfortunately Kanu in the middle is a little thin, and he has not headed the ball straight away when he is harassed by Materazzi.
Henry's shots from the right side of the Inter Milan penalty area were quite threatening, but fortunately, Frei was more focused and reacted in time.
However, the attack of the three men was too forgetful, apparently ignoring the space behind him, and in the 56th minute, Ashley Cole received a cross from Henry, but the ball was not kicked high and was intercepted by Thuram halfway.
Then Thuram passed out of the penalty area and gave it to Redondo, Redondo looked up and threw the ball into a blank space on the left side of Arsenal's backfield, Camoranesi had already started along the sideline early when Thuram passed the ball, what Ashley Cole, Pire were still thinking about Arsenal who would grab the second point.
By the time they realised they had to get back, Ashley Cole and Pire would have to be at least 15 metres away from Camoranesi and it would be almost impossible for them to catch up with him.
Camoranesi is unguarded in front, and the two central defenders Keown and Adams who are dragging in the backfield really don't dare to come up to make up for it, Vieri and Hakansuk are enough for them, if they make up for it, leaving a defensive two center forwards, as long as Camoranesi can pass the ball, it will definitely be another goal.
So until Camoranesi entered the box, neither Keown nor Adams dared to leave their positions.
At this time, Camoranesi was stunned, the two defenders did not move, and the goalkeeper Seaman was still standing in the door, how to deal with it? Passing is generally destroyed, but shooting is not guaranteed to be successful, if such a good opportunity is wasted, without Fan Shang, you can hate yourself to death.
As soon as he gritted his teeth, Camoranesi felt that the closer he was to the goal, the higher the success rate of the shot, and since there was no one to defend, take the ball and bring it to the goal.
Camoranesi naturally went forward, and let him take another step into the small penalty area, He-Man couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted for Keown to go and top it.
