Chapter 44: Thigh Sanchez
The goal was scored by Alexis. Sanchez. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The former Barcelona player is not guaranteed a place in the Catalan team, but his ability is undoubted, after moving to Arsenal this summer, his competitive form has been excellent, and the statistics of goals and assists are very good, and now in the absence of Qin Shou, he is even more responsible for the team's goals.
The same goes for this game.
Arsenal's surprise two-goal deficit was a huge blow to morale, but Arsenal are still trying their best to attack, and if they want to go far this season, they must not surrender easily in difficult times. And their efforts came to fruition in the seventy-first minute.
Alexis Sanchez, who has been very active, found a good chance for himself to score with his active movement. Theo Walcott crossed the ball into the box, the first point was grabbed by Giroud, and the French centre-forward's powerful header was unlucky to hit the crossbar, but the ball did not bounce off the touchline, but bounced off the box.
Sanchez, who had arrived in the air, had already run past the spot, but he reacted quickly, almost to the side of the body, then flung into the air and swept the ball towards the goal with a standard volley.
Sanchez's shot was so sudden that the power of the ball was so great that Sunderland goalkeeper Westwood didn't have time to react and the ball was already in the back of the net.
2:1, Arsenal pulled one back!
“goooooooooooooooooal! Nice barb! Beautiful goal! Sanchez scored a goal for Arsenal with a shocking upside-down golden hook, and also rekindled hope for Arsenal! ”
"It's a dead end in the absolute sense of the word! It's unbelievable that Sanchez can still hit such a high-quality goal with his back barb! This goal proves his worth! The Chilean is definitely one of the best strikers in football today! ”
"Thighs in hand, I have the world! Pretty! Wonderful! Arsenal see hope of an equaliser! ”
The visiting fans in the stands were excited, and the two unlucky goals that had left them in a depressed mood until now, and Sanchez's brilliant barb goal made them vent that frustration. Fans were singing and dancing in their seats with fists waving, roaring enthusiastically.
On the sidelines, Wenger also breathed a sigh of relief. It was a must-win game and he and his team did a lot of work before the game to get the win. And there is indeed a big gap between the strength levels of the two teams, and in his opinion, victory is almost undoubted.
It's just that the world of football is really full of too many accidents, and the two goals lost in a row put a lot of pressure on his body, especially when the two goals were behind, the fans shouted Qin Shou's name loudly, which undoubtedly made him feel even more pressure.
Qin Shou has just recovered from injury, and his plan is to use one or two games, only give him a few minutes of playing time, first familiarize himself with the rhythm of the game, and find a feeling, but if the team does not perform well, and he does not give his team captain a chance, he can even imagine what kind of criticism he will face from reporters and fans after the game.
Fortunately, Sanchez is really competitive, and the goal in this time period is too crucial, which pulls back the team's declining morale, and also gives everyone a renewed hope of equalizing or even overtaking. This is extremely important. As long as the belief is still there, as long as the confidence is still there, then everything is still possible in the next game.
Sure enough, Arsenal's morale was boosted after the goal, their attack became more fierce, and their movement on the pitch became more active. Sunderland was originally suppressed by the opponent's attack, and after conceding the goal, the position was even more panicked, especially when the game entered the second half, and their physical fitness began to decline, and they became more and more unable to stop Arsenal's attack, and the holes in the defense line were getting bigger and bigger.
Two minutes later, Alexis Sanchez fired a long-range shot from the edge of the box. The soccer ball hits the defender's back, and it can be compared to the goal post.
From the ensuing corner, Giroud grabbed the spot and shook his head to shoot again, but the power was insufficient and he was held in the arms of goalkeeper Westwood.
In the 78th minute, Mesut Ozil broke through the middle, attracted the attention of two defenders, and passed the football diagonally into the penalty area, Giroud carried the central defender, half-turned and swept the ball, the football was narrowly blocked by Westwood with his fingertips, and the arriving defender kicked the football out of the danger zone.
On the pitch, Arsenal almost formed a situation of laying siege to Sunderland, and one shot after another, like a storm of fire, tested the home team's goal.
"Shoot - it's a shame that Walcott's shot flew straight off the line!"
"Arsenal are here again! It's Sanchez again! Kick ...... Alas, Sunderland's defenders were quick to fill in and O'Shea used his body to block the football! ”
"Olivier Giroud! Olivier Giroud! He used his body to hold the defender, to get the ball back, and Cazorla - incredible! Incredible! Westwood flew to block the ball - Westwood was a god today! Although he conceded a goal, if the game is over now, he will undoubtedly be the biggest contributor to Sunderland's victory! He saved at least three must-scores! It's amazing! ”
As time went on, the situation on the field became more and more heated and tense. Fans on both sides are cheering for their teams, hoping that they can support the last ten minutes.
The managers of both teams have also started to make substitutions. Needless to say, Sunderland's side is completely at a disadvantage, in order to keep the victory, Uruguay coach Poyet has replaced two defenders in a row, and he will remove a striker and a midfielder, which is completely not attacking, that is, to carry out the stubborn defense to the end.
And Arsene Wenger's substitutions had no choice, the team was behind and there was no other way but to attack. Wilshere and Oxlade-Chamberlain were brought on, Flamini and Mertesacker were replaced, Wilshere and veteran Rosicky were brought on, two attacking players were added, Theo Walcott and Cazorla were also pushed up front, and Arsenal were reduced to a dead striker formation.
Two teams, one not to defend and resolutely attack, and one not to attack and resolutely defend, no matter who it is, it's a gamble.
In the end, it was Arsenal who were the better side, and in the first two minutes of the substitution, Arsenal scored again. The new veteran Rosicky showed his old and strong ability, he broke through in the front field continuously, disrupted the opponent's defense, and then a highly imaginative through the ball, tearing the opponent's entire defense, "thigh" Sanchez successfully countered offside, stabbed in the diagonal stab, a low shot, and sent the football into the door of the home team for the second time.
Alexis Sanchez scored a brace and scored six league goals, temporarily becoming the team's top scorer and rising to the top of the league scorers' charts.
"Thigh" deserves to be "thigh", and his performance in the last few games deserves everyone's applause for him.
The Stadium of Light was once again a sea of joy for Arsenal people, with thousands of cheers overwhelming the tens of thousands of home fans, who sang and danced to applaud and praise the Chilean striker in the stadium.
Qin Shou also stood up and gave a round of applause to Sanchez, who had performed well. Although Sanchez surpassed him in the scorer list, Qin Shou had no other emotions, just happy. After all, they are a unit, they all play for the whole club, no matter how good he is, it is difficult for him to support the big picture, football is a team sport, and his teammates are better and better, which is good news.
"Qin, get ready, go out and warm up."
Just as Qin Shou was applauding and celebrating, the head coach's voice suddenly came, and as soon as Qin Shou looked up, he saw Wenger looking at him, which made him stunned for a moment. He knew what Arsene Wenger was up to, and he thought he wouldn't be able to play in this game.
"What? Questions? Seeing that Qin Shou didn't reply, Wenger asked again.
"I didn't ...... No. ”
Qin Shou responded quickly, took off his coat, put on his vest, ran out of the bench like a wind, and warmed up on the sidelines.
Three minutes later, Qin Shou was back in front of Arsene Wenger, the manager gave him two words, and then assistant coach Boulder led him to the sidelines.
"Oh, oh, Qin! It's Qin! It looks like Qin is about to appear! ”
"It's been eighty-four minutes, and Professor Wenger's intention is obvious, he just wants Qin, who has just recovered from injury, to feel the atmosphere of the game."
"Although I really hope that Qin can have an excellent performance in this limited time, this is a bit unrealistic, and there is too little time. But to be able to return to the pitch is good news. Maybe in the next game, we will be able to see Qin running like the wind on the field again, and there will be wonderful goals. ”
The Arsenal fans in the stands also spotted Qin Shou standing on the sidelines, and the cheers were one step louder.
"Oooo Qin! It's our Qin! ”
"Ha, Qin is finally going to play!"
"Welcome back, our captain!"
"Came back at the right time! Come, Qin, lead us to victory together! ”
The stadium has become extremely noisy, Qin Shou's influence in the Arsenal fan base can be seen, although Sanchez is the protagonist in this game, but Qin Shou's appearance, the applause and cheers received are not weaker than him. This is the envy of the Arsenal players on the field.
Qin Shou waved his hand in the direction of the stands, counting as a response. The result was another burst of screams.
At this time, the fourth official had already raised the sign, under the 11th and on the 14th.
Ozil ran to the sidelines and hugged Qin Shou.
"Welcome back, Qin."
Qin Shou smiled and patted his head: "Thank you." ”
Then he ran quickly onto the court.
