22. In eight minutes, I lost two goals in a row!
Omar Nias is ambitious and wants to help his team equalise with goals and become a hero with his individual ability.
So he carried the ball too much, completely forgetting what his coach told him when he was a child in football training, the truth that if you dribble too much, you will lose.
Unless you're a young Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Suarez, and now Neymar, you're going to be able to pass like nothing and treat defenders like nothing.
Of course you are not Messi, and Arsenal's defense is not a puppet in La Liga, especially Tan Xibi, who neither Messi nor Suarez can pass, and a player of Nias's level wants to pass Tan Xibi unless he has diarrhea.
Tan Xibi stretched out his foot to cut off the ball at Nias's feet, and before the tackle was made, Tan Xibi looked ahead and noticed that Everton's left flank, Phil Jagielka and Layton Baines were too far apart.
So Tan Xibi didn't pause too much after breaking the ball, and made a diagonal pass to Héctor Bellerin on the right, and played a gesture that no one could understand.
Just like in training, Bellerin received the ball and immediately passed diagonally to Aaron Ramsey in front of the left, and after Ramsey received the ball, he did not pause too much and immediately passed to Bellerin who ran to the front.
One-two, easily past Gilvy Siguerdsson, who had little defensive ability, Bellerin received the ball and faced Baines, he did not choose to break through with the ball, but crossed to Mesut Ozil, who was in no one's position, and Ozil received the ball and passed the ball to Baines without stopping, where Bellerin rushed past Baines to chase the ball.
Baines turned and chased after Bellerin, who was confident he could catch up with the young Spanish winger as long as he received the ball.
Surprisingly, Bellerin did not stop to adjust after catching the ball, but passed directly to Ramsey who ran to the receiving position, Ramsey did not stop the ball, but directly picked the ball into the penalty area, where Ozil cleverly stepped forward to the edge of the small box, jumped, shook his head, and pushed the ball under the crossbar without close follow, and Jordan Pickford, who was brave in the first half, made a backward save that could not prevent the ball from running under his nose and into the net.
"Bellerin! Ramsey! Bellerin! Ozil! Bellerin! Ramsey again! Ramsey picks up the pass, oh, Ozil grabs the spot, headers the goal, gooooal-"
David Jones' passionate commentary rang out over the pitch, and Ozil, who scored the second goal, excitedly raced his chest to the corner, and his elated team-mates rushed up to congratulate Ozil on his first cake of the season.
Jones' incomplete commentary can't be blamed for, because Arsenal's counter-attack was too fast, and as soon as the name was read, the ball had already been passed out, and it wasn't until Ramsey picked up the pass that the ball flew in the air for a few seconds before Jones could have more commentary.
"It was a brilliant counterattack, Thierry!" Graeme Souness marveled.
Thierry Henry stood up excitedly and clapped vigorously with both hands, applauding the performance of his old club.
Liu Chuanfeng and Taishan Shi were even more excited to cheer with the Arsenal fans, but the blue sea in most of the stands fell silent at the moment.
From Tan Xibi's passing to Bellerin to launch a counterattack after breaking the ball in the backfield, to the goal, after an uninterrupted seven-foot pass in a row, without extra dipping and dribbling, it only took 10 seconds, seeing the continuous replay on the screen in the stands, Arsenal assistant coach Steve Boulder excitedly shouted to Arsène Wenger: "Success, we succeeded!" ”
Arsene Wenger nodded with a smile, only after the late 90s and the first decade of the 20th century, they and the fans could understand Boulder's words.
Flowing and mercury-tricky passes, ghostly movements, and goals come naturally, isn't this the beautiful football that Arsenal conquered the Premier League in the Highbury era?
And that's not all, five minutes later, it was Tan Xibi again, waiting for the opportunity to snatch the ball from Wayne Rooney's feet, and then pass it to Granit Xhaka, Xhaka received the ball and immediately passed a through ball to the back of Joan Kenny, Seyad Kolasinac rushed behind Kenny like a gust of wind to receive Xhaka's through ball.
Without waiting for the Everton defenders to retreat into position, Kolasinac scurried away with the ball on the side, rushed to the outside of the penalty area to slow down and dribble to the penalty area for a few steps, and then crossed the ball with his left foot, and Ramsey, who stepped forward to grab the point, shook a shot, not only took away Michael Keane, who was following him, but also attracted the attention of Pickford, not noticing Alexander Lacazette, who had run to the back post.
"Oh no, leak!" Pickford and Keane saw Ramsey open his legs and leak through the ball, and they both turned their heads to look.
Finished!
Arsenal's no.9 flicked the ball on the right-footed side of the back post to drive Kolasinac's cross into the empty net before Jagielka could catch up.
0-3! International practice, the home team in front.
Eight minutes, the second half began, and in just eight minutes, Everton conceded two goals in a row. In the face of Arsenal's devastating counter-attack, the Toffees' defence was nothing short of paper-cutter.
"I know why Arsène is in a 433 formation." Souness looked at Thierry Henry, "In the midfield, the real midfielder, is this No. 28, Wal-Tan. His presence freed Xhaka from the midfield and led the attack alongside Aaron Ramsey, playing to the advantages of the 433 formation in attack. ”
Henry nodded: "Yes, the two goals that Arsenal scored just now were initiated by Wall after the break. Everton's defensive line in the second half pressed too far forward, leaving too much space at the back, making it easy for Arsenal to play a threatening counter-attack. ”
After speaking, Henry's eyes fell on Tan Xibi, who was smiling like a ball of flowers on the court, and secretly said in his heart: "How can young people in this era become more powerful as they get younger?" That's Killian, that's what Wohl is. Boss, you brought in Wall to make up for the weakness of the midfielder. Otherwise, you wouldn't dare to use this formation. However, if Wall doesn't start, you probably won't be using this formation, after all, no other player on the team can replace Wall. ”
"Yes, if Wall is out of the field, or if he is there, I definitely won't use the 433 formation." Arsène Wenger smiled at Steve Boulder and said, "We don't have one man at the back who can do what Wall can do. ”
Boulder nodded and said, "Boss, is Wall starting in the midweek Carabao Cup?" ”
Wenger frowned slightly, and after a moment, he said: "I have to play three games this week, for the sake of Wall's health, let's substitute in midweek, and then decide whether to let him play according to the situation on the field." ”
Boulder laughed: "He may not be happy that his home debut is not a starter. ”
"It's not better to start in the league at the weekend." Arsene Wenger said secretly: "Wal can't be injured, the game at the beginning of next month is very important, with Wall, the team can hope to win." ”
Ronald Coman took advantage of the dead ball and called Idrissa Gueye to him: "Your task is to pester this number 28 and not let him pass the ball comfortably. ”
