Chapter 118: Uneasy
Arsenal fans really don't have to be too sad, Atletico Madrid's equaliser was a beautiful goal, but then the Arsenal players immediately responded with an even more spectacular goal.
Atletico Madrid's goal did hit the morale of Arsenal's players, and if it continued like this, the young Arsenal were likely to become more and more depressed, but at the crucial moment, the experienced veteran Rosicky stepped up.
Less than three minutes after Atletico's goal, Rosicky instigated an attack.
He continued to pass and cooperate with his teammates in the midfield, constantly passing the ball, constantly running, and the enthusiasm of the attacking players in the front court jumped. Their passing is fluid and unstoppable, with a sense of artistic football.
passed more than ten kicks in a row and quickly, and although Atletico Madrid swooped fiercely, they were stunned and did not touch the football.
The commentators in the commentary table couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
"This is Arsenal! This is the real Arsenal! Their passing, their coordination, their technique, delicate, perfect, fluid! Arsenal have their problems, but they can become one of the most popular teams in the world, and there is no doubt that this style is really attractive! ”
Amid the exclamations of the commentators and the excited cheers of the home fans, the football was once again passed to Rosicky's feet. The ageless Czech magician touched the ball again.
This time, though, instead of shifting the ball to both wings, he gently pushed it to the bottom of the ball with the arch of his raised right foot.
The ball soared, flew into the air, and then fell straight into the penalty area in a parabolic position.
Arsenal's dazzling series of passes left the Atletico players dizzying and distracted, and Rosicky's sudden overhead pass was something they could not have anticipated, and by the time they came to their senses, the football had fallen into the empty space in the box.
Moroccan striker Shamach didn't let the chance slip away again this time, and he successfully countered offside, caught Thibaut Courtois's attack, carried Simonez, and fired a powerful volley into the Atletico goal.
3:2!
Arsenal, playing at home, once again exceeded the score!
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! The ball is in! The ball is in! The goal was scored by Moroccan striker Marouan. Shamacher! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! ”
'Shamaher didn't let chances slip through his feet again, he scored a crucial goal that gave Arsenal hope of winning this game once again!'
'Arsenal were extremely tenacious today, taking the lead, being equalised, and once again putting the score above ...... Arsene Wenger's side seem to be undergoing a metamorphosis! ”
'It was a beautiful goal to be applauded and after a series of beautiful passes, Shamach played the role of finisher and he didn't waste the chances that his team-mates created for him...... Wait, there's news from another venue! The goal was scored! Hamsik scores! Napoli is ahead! ”
"Oh - what a double blessing! Arsenal took the lead again and Napoli also scored...... The situation is very good, and Arsenal is about to qualify! ”
"If there are no surprises, Arsenal will be the second team after Atletico Madrid to qualify from Group F!"
The commentators were in the commentary booth, and the fans at the Emirates Stadium were cheering. They were thrilled with a brilliant pass and another goal from Armour Shamacher. The news from another stadium was ecstatic.
Although Arsenal can qualify with a win, it would be better if Napoli could beat Borussia Dortmund. Of course, the best result is a draw between Napoli and Borussia Dortmund, which is tantamount to double insurance for Arsenal's qualification situation, even if Arsenal draw this game, they can also get a place to qualify.
The game is moving in favour of the home team, and the Champions League qualification situation is also a great prospect for Arsenal.
The tense look on Wenger's face finally relaxed, and a relieved smile appeared on his face, and he clapped his hands and praised his team's goal.
Simeone, who was also standing on the sidelines, shook his head helplessly, still with his expressionless demeanor. He had nothing to say about Arsenal's goal. This series of beautiful combinations is very effective, the team's defense has done a good job, but Arsenal just tore a hole and scored the ball.
In the face of such a goal, he couldn't find a place to complain.
Simeone, however, was not too upset, and after deciding to play on the bench and youngsters, he was prepared to lose. Anyway, his purpose is to train, as long as the team doesn't play too ugly and can show certain highlights, that's enough.
With that in mind, Simeone clapped his hands and yelled at the field, reminding the players to stay focused and keep actively engaged in the game, and then turned back to his dugout.
"What do you think, Qin?"
Simeone sat down in his seat and suddenly turned his head to look at Qin Shou.
"What?"
Qin Shou was a little stunned.
"This game. What do you think the end result will be? ”
"I'm not the Emperor of Prophecy." Qin Shou spread his hands and said with a smile, "Arsenal played really well in this game. But you're the manager, how you play, how you adjust, that's your job. Coach Simeone, why are you asking me? ”
"I'll just ask."
Simeone smiled, no frustration on his face at being behind the score.
"When am I going to play?" Qin Shou glanced at the head coach who was also his teacher and friend speechlessly, and asked.
"It depends. There is no hurry. ”
Simeone replied casually, then leaned back comfortably in his chair and watched the game in a leisurely manner.
Some commentators noticed this scene in the coach's seat and couldn't help laughing.
"It seems that Atletico Madrid is really relaxed about this game, ha, coach Simeone even put a comfortable position in his seat...... It's no wonder that Atletico Madrid have already qualified ahead of schedule, and they really have no reason to go to a fierce battle with Arsenal. ”
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The ensuing race went to a plateau.
After the goal, Arsenal did not press the attack aggressively, but patiently passed the inverted foot, stepped forward when there was a chance, and if there was no chance, then passed the ball and waited for the opportunity slowly.
They also didn't dare to press too high, and the first two goals conceded had already sounded the alarm for them. Now that we have finally taken the lead again, it will be too late to regret if we lose the ball again due to negligence.
Atletico Madrid were still running and pressing, but Arsenal's three lines were tighter and they didn't find any good counter-attacking opportunities.
In the 81st minute of the game, there was a commotion in the stands. Many gun fans were cheering, with big smiles on their faces.
"What's going on?"
Simeone was a little confused. It just so happened that Boggs came running over and told him about another venue.
It turned out that Borussia Dortmund also scored, and their top scorer, Poland's Robert Lewandowski, scored the equaliser with a header.
Simeone nodded, no wonder Arsenal fans were so excited, a draw over there was the best result for Arsenal and meant they were one step closer to qualifying from the group.
It was just a small episode and the game went on.
In the 86th minute of the game, Simeone finally made a substitution. Garcia, Godin, and Griezmann were replaced one after another, and they were replaced by Gamès, Turan and Qin Shou.
Running up all the substitutions in his hands at once, it is not that Simeone is not satisfied with the game, but to give the substitutes a chance to warm up.
Especially Qin Shou, you can rest and rest, but you can't rest all the time, you have to warm up and move your body, don't rest the feeling of being in good shape for a while.
It's just that no one expected that Simeone's unintentional substitution would have an indelible impact on the game. The race also shifted the other way.
In the 89th minute, the regular time had come to an end, and the referee made a gesture of three minutes of stoppage time.
It was at this time that Atletico Madrid unexpectedly got a good chance to score.
Vázquez, a player with his own halo, turned on the Bug mode again, he rushed left and right in the front court, and although he stumbled, he always moved forward. Twenty-seven or eighteen metres away on the right side of the penalty area, Vazquez, who had been advancing, finally stopped - his feints completely deceived Gibbs, who had lost his center of gravity, and the young England defender who had lost his center of gravity stretched out his leg to hook the ball only into a cloud of air, and it was too late to close his leg, his left foot kicked Vazquez's calf, who screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
It was a clear kick foul and the referee didn't hesitate to give Atletico Madrid a well-placed free-kick up front.
The Emirates Stadium fell silent.
If it had been before, Arsenal had given Atletico a free-kick and given it, and they were not afraid. Because Qin Shou was not on the field, the other Atletico Madrid players obviously did not have Qin Shou's superb free kick skills.
But now it's different, because ...... Qin Shou has already come up!
Everyone knows how bad it is to give Atletico Madrid a direct free-kick at this distance, and if God forbid, it would have been a lost goal.
Gun fans were dumbfounded. If this goal goes in, then they know very well what it means - the initiative to qualify from the group will not be in their hands.
In the final minutes of the game, an unsettling atmosphere began to loom over the Emirates Stadium, as the weather in London was smog and gloomy.
