40. Milestone victory
"Lacazette hits the door! Didn't go in. ”
"Arsenal fight back! Ramsey passes, Bellerin flies to shoot! It's a pity, hit the crossbar. ”
"Wall steals on the wing, nice long passes!"
"It's Kolasinac again, catch the ball and go down to the bottom triangle to return the pass, Sanchez!"
"Beautiful! Fabianski saves Sanchez's shot from the bottom line! ”
"Wilshere passes to Ramsey, Ramsey passes back to Wall, Wall passes diagonally to Wilshere, Wilshere has a beautiful through ball, Ozil hits!"
"Missed!"
"From 60 minutes to 70 minutes, Arsenal suppressed Swansea in the half, but unfortunately the Swansea goalkeeper played bravely, and Arsenal could not score another goal to kill the game."
"Swansea substitutions, three people in one breath, it seems that Swansea still want to score, the Swansea manager is not a conservative person."
Although it looked passive, Swansea boss Paul Clement clearly didn't intend to stick to it, and he replaced the exhausted striker Jordan Ayew, midfielder Tom Carroll and defender Mike van der Horn with No. 12 right winger Nathan Dyer, No. 62 striker Oliver McBnieh and No. 11 right winger Luciano Narsin respectively, dropping Kyle Norton back to a centre-back position, Narsin at right wing-back, Dier on the right wing, Tammy Abraham on the left wing, and the tall McBonee on the centre. 352 changed to 343, and it is clear that Clement intends to fight for a point on the road.
Arsène Wenger was ready to bring on Oliver Giroud in order to add a high post up front, but the man who played the ball was injured in the game, Sead Kolasinac.
In desperation, Arsene Wenger had to make the remaining substitutions at centre-back Rob Holding for Kolasinac and Nacho Monreal at left-back.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Arsenal fans applauded Kolasinac for his performance, and the "Bosnia-Herzegovina Tank" raised their hands as they walked to thank the fans, and his teammates on the pitch also went over to applaud him.
"Wall, you have to hold on to the three points." Kolasinac high-fived and hugged Tan Xibi, who ran over, and whispered to him.
"Don't worry, when did I concede a ball when I was there?" Tan Xibi patted his chest confidently and said.
"Hey, play a long pass?" Seeing Swansea change tactics and start straight from the back, Steve Boulder said to Arsene Wenger.
Arsene Wenger smiled slightly, and Clement used a long pass to play with the intention of bypassing Tan Xibi's defense and facing the goal directly.
Unfortunately, the idea is good, although none of the Arsenal central defenders are more than 1.9 meters tall, but Laurent Koscielny and Holding are not scary of high balls, and the success rate of long passes and hangs is not high, it is easy to hand over the ball, in the Premier League, or even the lower Championship, few teams have adopted this inefficient style of play.
Therefore, Swansea's high-altitude ball did not pose a threat to the Arsenal defense at all, and soon the ball fell at the feet of Arsenal, and Swansea, who lost the ball, could only be passive everywhere.
In the 75th minute, Tan Xibi made a long pass to the right in the middle, and Mesut Ozil unloaded the ball beautifully, and passed straight to the right before the opponent rushed to the right to run to Héctor Bellerin, who ran to the space behind him.
Bellerin dribbled the ball to the edge of the line and Alexandre Lacazette had a direct shot saved by Lucas Fabianski.
In the 77th minute, Samuel Klukas took the ball from the left and Abraham stopped the ball and turned and fired a low shot wide.
A minute later, Jack Wilshere broke through to the penalty area and crossed to Aaron Ramsey, who ran to an unmarked position, Ramsey got up and hit the goal and was blocked by the Swansea player, the ball hit him and bounced back outside the box, followed by Tan Xibi's left-footed long shot, but hit the crossbar and popped up, scaring the Swansea players into a cold sweat.
'Jack's playmaking, Aaron's movement, Wall's defense, long balls and long shots. If you can grind into shape, this midfield combination is really good. But at the head of the ball, Wall is the only one on the defensive end who can keep an eye on so many frontcourt players at Manchester City? Boulder said with some concern.
This season's Manchester City seems to have passed the tactical run-in period of new manager Josep Guardiola, and has exploded into powerful firepower in the Premier League and Champions League schedules.
Coming to Manchester City next Sunday to face a blue moon that is in hot form, with a complete squad and incomparably strong at both ends of the pitch, Boulder has no certainty of victory.
Even if you get a point, it's hard.
"Both Jack and Aaron have some defensive qualities, and both of them can assist Wall defensively." Arsene Wenger looked at the pitch and whispered, "Manchester City have been strong this season, but Wall has given us defensive toughness that we haven't seen for a long time. While City have added a strong wing-back in the summer window, their centre-backs lack depth and we have a chance to win if we can open up the middle and press down our opponents in attack. ”
On the pitch, Arsenal attacked wave after wave, forcing Clement to withdraw the front three to the back to assist in the defence.
"Damn, our trident just can't score a goal." Tan Xibi shook his head and sighed when he saw Alex Sanchez's shot hit the side-netting.
In today's game, although the front trident performed well, it was either forgotten to bring shooting boots or Fabianski played chicken blood, and it was difficult for three people to score a goal.
Tan Xibi is doing his own job in defense at the same time, in addition to participating in the offensive long-pass scheduling, that is, to shoot forward and shoot, but he does not blindly receive the ball outside the penalty area and shoot from a distance, after trying to shoot from a distance, he feels that the wind is not going well and no longer tries to shoot from a distance, unless the team needs to equalize or overtake.
This is the difference between a player with a high ball quotient and a player with a low ball quotient, the former who knows how to judge the situation and put the interests of the team first.
After missing a couple of more chances, Arsenal came back from behind to win thanks to a shot and pass from Seyad Kolasinac in the second half, and the Bosnian was voted Man of the Match with the highest score of the game.
With 463 wins, 194 draws, 143 defeats, 1,506 goals scored, 769 conceded, a winning percentage of 57.8 per cent, Arsene Wenger achieved the milestone victory of his 800th Premier League game in charge of Arsenal, just 10 short of Alex Ferguson's record of 810 Premier League games.
"Aaron's 50 goals?" Seeing Ramsey in an interview, Tan Xibi knew from his teammates how important Ramsey's second goal was.
Today's Chung Yeung Festival is really a meaningful day.
"Wall, celebrate next Tuesday night." Bellerin and Alex Iwobi walked up to Tan Xibi.
"Next Tuesday? What day to celebrate? ”
"Halloween (Halloween Eve)."
