Chapter 61: Coming at Me
Nasri took a few steps back and took another deep breath.
This time there was no coin on his head, Chelsea fans are regular watchers, they know very well that smashing a coin once is a vent, and smashing the club twice will be punished by FIFA, they just need to give the Arsenal player enough psychological pressure, and they don't necessarily have to use a coin to kill him.
In other words, if you are stoned to death by money, I believe it is also a great happiness, right?
Nasri's eyes swept across the penalty area, and in that small area, there were at least twelve or three players from both sides, everyone pulling and running, squeezing each other into advantageous positions, the Arsenal players trying to get up front, and the Chelsea players not giving up an inch.
However, Nasri had no intention of driving the ball into the box in the face of such a crowded scene, and he was so outraged by the actions of the Chelsea fans and coaching staff that he decided to give them a more direct approach.
Nasri made a run, then tucked his belly and got up on his feet, and the ball left the corner flagstick and flew straight into the box.
When the ball flew in the air, the Chelsea penalty area exploded, everyone pushed and ran for each other, everyone wanted to get the ball down, Arsenal players wanted to attack the goal, and the Chelsea players also wanted to clear the ball as soon as possible.
But when the ball was halfway there, the box slowly quieted down, because everyone could see that from the trajectory of the ball, it was headed for the goal.
Is this the rhythm of a direct shot?
On the football field, it is not uncommon to see a direct goal from a corner, and there are at least two or three wonderful shots in the news every year, but such a shot is often a lucky goal, even if you are really confident in your footwork and aim at the goal to hit it, but the probability of scoring this shot is not much higher than if you buy a lottery ticket.
The lottery also goes on at least once a month, but corner kicks are only seen once or twice a year in professional football.
Nasri: That's really angry.
The ball went straight to the top of the goal, and for the other players in the box, the ball was basically none of their business, and the only thing that could stop the ball was luck and the goalkeeper.
Chelsea's goalkeeper Petr Cech is 1.97m tall, so this kind of high ball is naturally difficult for him, but Nasri's shot is a hateful shot, although the position of the shot is really a bit difficult to say, but the power of the ball is very strong, and his footwork is excellent, he often takes free kicks when he was in Marseille, and most of the time, his pass or shot will not go too far from the target.
When Cech looked up, he was shocked to find that the ball had jumped over his head and was plummeting into the frame of the door behind him.
Petr Cech was stunned and hurriedly stepped back in small steps, ready to jump, and in his calculations the ball would have been touched by himself a little below the crossbar. As for whether the ball rolls into the goal or is hit by him after touching it, it is not something he can control.
In the process of retreating saves, the goalkeeper who can hold the ball with his hands has not been seen so far, unless the ball speed is too slow.
However, Cech is still undercounting, and that is that there are other players behind him.
Ashley. Kerr was originally standing at the back post, and when the ball crossed the sky and ran towards the goal, he subconsciously took two steps forward and prepared to clear the ball with a header, but the penalty was too awkward, Ashley. Cole estimated that he might not be able to reach the ball if he grew a few centimeters taller, so he stopped and prepared to see what was going on.
Who knew that as soon as he stopped, he found that Cech's huge body was pressing down on him like a mountain. Cole was in a hurry, and was about to shout Ya Butterfly, when he and Cech had a solid happy encounter.
The Chelsea goalkeeper and defender both collided and fell to the ground, but the ball continued to fall in its track, and it slammed headlong into the desperate gaze of Chel, as all the Chelsea players in the box waited in horror...... The crossbar of the goal, then bounced high and flew off the baseline.
"I'll just say it!" A Chelsea fan in the stands couldn't help but jump to his feet, still with the horror and unspeakable excitement on his face: "How can this kind of ball be confused, that Frenchman doesn't have such skills at all!" β
The Chelsea fans next to him agreed, before a crowd jumped up again, cheering and cursing at Nasri.
Cech, who was sitting on the ground, completely dissipated the fear in his eyes at this time, if this ball was a little more off...... He gave Nasri a deep look, then shouted at left-back Bosingwa: "Look at him, don't give him another chance!" β
Bosingwa ran forward with his head down, not knowing if he heard him shouting.
The ensuing situation confirmed Petr's fears, as Nasri became one of the brightest players on the pitch in the first half, and he was so heavy on the right flank of Chelsea that neither his national team predecessor Malouda nor Portuguese defender Bosingwa could contain him, and his in-cut posed a great threat to Chelsea, and even Ballack had to retreat to the half to defend in order to suppress his activity on the left flank.
As a result, after losing the support of Ballack, Chel's attack in front of the court appeared more chaotic, Scolari has only been in Chelsea for a few months, and has not been able to establish a complete attacking system, he had a "3R" to rely on in Brazil, but Chelsea's Drogba, Lampard and others ...... No matter how you look at it, they can't have the ability to fight alone like the "3R", so Chelsea's attack can only be a thunderous and rainy type at present.
On the other hand, Arsenal, after Nasri gradually became active, their counter-attacks became more and more present, and even broke through Chelsea's midfield blockade for a while, gradually playing with their own style and momentum.
This situation has made the Chelsea fans on the sidelines very unhappy, and they have let out louder cheers and curses, cheering for their own team, while verbally attacking Arsenal players, especially Nasri, who is currently very active, has become their number one target.
Several fans even raised their coins and kept shouting at Nasri: "Watch your head, Frenchman, watch your head!" β
Nasri, who heard their threat from the deafening cacophony, looked up at the fans fiercely before continuing to turn his gaze back to the pitch.
At this moment, the fourth official on the sidelines suddenly raised the substitution sign, and Wenger released his trump card, Descartes, to replace Eduardo, who had been inactive for 30 minutes in the second half.
This substitution is a bit abrupt, on Wenger's substitution table, Descartes usually plays in the second half, and it is the first time that he is replaced in more than 30 minutes in the first half.
There are many people who don't know that Descartes's original exhortation has left some marks on Wenger's heart, and the unexpected defeat in Hull City is the beginning of his change in his rotation habits.
Replaced by the former Wenger, he will never let Van Persie rest in this game, after the loss of Adebayo, Van Persie is already Arsenal's most stable striker, although Descartes is good, but can only use half the field, Van Persie is now Wenger's first choice in the front line.
In a heavyweight game like Chelsea, where is Van Persie likely to be on the bench?
And it is not surprising that Arsene Wenger's starting line for this game was almost exclaimed as incomprehensible by the media around the world.
Descartes' arrival quickly broke the deadlock on the pitch, and Chelsea were unable to create and capitalise on chances, and what awaited them was bound to be punished, and Descartes' appearance only brought their punishment into place by a significant margin.
Just six minutes after Descartes came on, around three minutes before the end of the first half, Chelsea made another mistake in front of the ball and Denilson intercepted Frank Lampard's pass on the right flank, before quickly slotting the ball to Theo Walcott near the touchline.
As a result of the attack just this time Chelsea's left-back Ashley. Kerr pressed for the assist, Denilson cut off the ball, which Lampard was ready to give him, so when Walcoat got the ball, Chelsea's left flank was blank. Cole is still behind Walcott, and as for Joe. Cole...... Has anyone complimented him on his defense?
Walcoat faced the large empty space in front of him, like a mad dog bared his teeth and rushed out, Terry was going to come up and intercept it, but after seeing Walcott run two steps, he wisely shrank back to the backfield, and compared the speed with this guy, which is not the wisdom of the England captain.
So Walcoat rushed to Chelsea's bottom line like a wind, and if it weren't for the constant threat of Terry in front of him, he would have turned a corner and rushed to the door guarded by Cech.
But despite this, Arsenal's counter-attack was faster than the Blues players expected, and at the same time as Walcott burst forward, Descartes and Nasri rushed up, except for Bendtner, who was too tall and stupid to keep up.
On Chelsea's side, only Terry, Alex, Ballack, and Bosingwa can return to the defensive position, 3 to 4, which is a real critical juncture.
Walcott had already rushed to the parallel position of the penalty line, he slowed down, and looked ready to cut inside, at this time, Terry could not hesitate any longer, he could only go up to prevent Walcourt from entering the box, behind him, Alex rushed up to fill in the position, to prevent the middle of the empty goal.
At this time, Walcott has been tempered in the Premier League for two seasons, and he is no longer the angry young man who has been in the end of the tendon, especially the cooperation between him and Descartes, because the friendship between the two is becoming more and more tacit, and the moment he saw Terry rushing up, Walcott had already swept the ball sideways to the middle, because he knew that Descartes would definitely appear in that position.
Descartes lived up to Walcott's hopes, he appeared exactly where the ball rolled over, and in the face of Alex's menacing block, he stopped the ball with his left foot, and at the moment when the ball was flipped up, his right foot lightly picked up the bottom of the ball, and the ball flew past Alex, who was rushing up to defend with all his might, and flew behind him.
Alex was terrified, he didn't expect Descartes to handle the ball so casually and quickly, he originally wanted to rush up to scare him when the opponent stopped the ball, even if he couldn't break the ball, at least it could bring him a certain amount of psychological pressure, in case his movements were deformed, it would be better.
But he didn't expect that Descartes would always be able to make the best choice in the blink of an eye on the court, and when he saw Alex rushing up from the corner of his eye, he had already made a decision with his physical instinct, this is talent, and others can't learn it.
It wasn't for nothing that the ball fell behind Alex, as Descartes had a gut feeling that there was an open space and that there would be his team-mates.
Sure enough, when the ball landed at about the height of the human head, a red and white figure appeared behind the ball, it was Nasri!
The Frenchman's pace was not taken seriously by Chelsea, but in reality, Chelsea's left-back Bosingwa lost badly in the 100-metre battle with Nasri, who had just stepped onto the penalty line when he appeared below the ball.
Faced with such a dilemma, Cech had to choose to attack, if he stayed on the goal line any longer, Nasri had as many options as a sea of stars, and as a good goalkeeper, he had to narrow the range of Nasri's shots as much as possible.
However, Cech never dreamed that Nasri did not choose to wait for the ball to hit the ground before taking a shot with his feet, he made a header directly behind the ball, and the ball crossed his side and hoisted towards the goal before Cech was about to get out of the way.
Cech couldn't twist his centre of gravity anymore at this point, he had to reluctantly scoop in the air, trying to get something, and then he got his wish, he at least got a good handful of air, but he couldn't catch the ball.
Amid the trembling prayers of the Chelsea fans, the ball silently slid across the goal line for a flawless counter-attack!
βnice!nice!nice!goallllllllllllllllllll!β Arsenal's TV commentator couldn't help but chant "nice" three times in a row, in his opinion, this goal is simply a masterpiece in the counterattack, a benchmark in the highlights, from the break to the goal, in one go, smoother than the flow of water, simply impeccable.
Even the Chelsea commentator had to sigh: "What a ...... this goal This should be the best goal of the Premier League of the round, it is likely to be selected as the top 10 goal of the year, we calculated that it took only 4.3 seconds from Denilson's break to Nasri's goal, perfect counterattack, Scolari, it's time for you to come up with a solution! β
Scolari hadn't been able to come up with a countermeasure, but Nasri had gone crazy after the goal, and he rushed to the sidelines, which was actually under the stands of the fans who had threatened him with coins just now, and then poked his head hard and yelled: "Come on, you guys rush here!" You shit, I'm not afraid of you! β
Nasri's demonstration was also supported by his team-mates, with the Arsenal players rushing to him and pointing to their heads together, signalling the Chelsea fans to throw coins at the same time.
Chelsea fans can bear it at this time, there are really silver coins smashed down in the stands, and the Chelsea staff see that this Nima is broken, this is a sign of punishment!
So a large group of Chelsea staff in blue overalls rushed over, while stopping the Arsenal players, while desperately waving to the stands, telling the fans to calm down and stop smashing, but where are the angry fans willing to listen, there are still coins being thrown, and even Chelsea's own staff have suffered a lot, and they are grinning there and crying out in pain.
The referee saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly blew the whistle in his mouth, and the game was suspended! (To be continued.) )
