Arsene Wenger was pat his leg admiring Gao, and at the same time, Gao was patting his leg, annoyed that his shot had gone over the crossbar. A good long-range shot turned out to be an anti-aircraft gun, which made Gao Shunyao feel a little depressed.

This game was more difficult than he imagined.

Of course, this is not to say that Gao Shunyao thinks Arsenal is easy to deal with in his heart. Gao Shunyao has never underestimated Arsenal, and he has always believed that Arsenal's strength is definitely much higher than that of Wolfsburg, there is no doubt about this. However, in Gao Shunyao's mind, Arsenal's strength lies in their offensive line, after all, the Gunners are famous all over Europe for playing beautifully, and Arsenal vs. Wolfsburg, even if the game is played by a big score, Gao Shunyao does not feel strange at all.

But in his mind, Arsenal can certainly put a lot of pressure on the Wolfsburg backline, but Wolfsburg is also enough to threaten the Arsenal backline. After all, compared to Arsenal's famous offensive ability, their defensive ability is criticized. Arsenal are not good at defending, this reputation is very loud, and Gao Shunyao knows it very well. And this time saw that their main goalkeeper was not there, there was only Coquelin in the back, and there was no Sagna on the back line, Gao Shunyao originally thought that the opponent they faced would be very weak.

It's just that obviously rumors are no substitute for the truth. Arsene Wenger, as a veteran championship coach, is not good at defending, but he definitely doesn't know how to defend. Under his tutelage, Arsenal's backline still greatly exceeded Wolfsburg's expectations. Whether in terms of tactics or the ability of the players, they surprised Gao Shunyao a lot.

Arsenal have clearly challenged tactically: before the game, Wolfsburg had targeted a potential Mertesacker. Enough preparation was made. The German high-ranking guys had excellent air defense, and the weakness of turning slowly. It was also used and said again and again. However, this game. Arsenal didn't send Mertesacker at all, Wolfsburg's tactical preparation was empty, Koscielny relied on his speed to constantly harass Gao Shunyao to get the ball in front of the penalty area, Vermaelen checked for leaks in the back, and their defense simply blocked Gao Shunyao out of the box, leaving him with little chance to find.

Arsenal's much-criticized defense, Gao Shunyao still has no chance to break through. Wolfsburg's attack turned into a long-range shot when it got to him, with Vermaelen and Koscielny doing a great job of blocking Wolfsburg's passes and breakaways. Ko has to admit that this is not the same as he imagined the Arsenal backline.

They are strong and need attention.

However, looking at the Arsenal backline who was happily celebrating the escape from death, Gao Shunyao's heart was slowly taking shape. He slowly ran towards Mandzukic and quietly discussed with him.

Since Arsenal's defense is good, they have to find a way to break it.

The stalemate continued at half-time. And in the confrontation, Wolfsburg is still at a disadvantage. With Cazorla, Arsenal still have a technical advantage, and the ball is always at their feet. It's just that Matic is tightly entangled with Cazorla, and Makoto Hasebe does not relax at all to intercept the ball that goes to both sides, and the two sides are above the midfield. For a while, no one had a good idea.

However, Cazorla is also worthy of his status as a striker. Although it is very tightly entangled. But he still found an opportunity and gave the ball to Oxlade-Chamberlain.

At your own pace. Chamberlain shook off Matic's entanglement. However, after getting rid of the defense, he didn't know what to do - go straight to the penalty area? Or pass the ball to assist a teammate? Cooperate with Giroud and play a comprehensive tactic? Or how about you try your luck on your own? All kinds of thoughts rushed to him, which made Chamberlain's feet hesitate.

After all, he is only a player under 20 years old, and although he has good talent, he is not as good at handling the ball as the old players. In particular, he is a player who has a strong foothold for his speed, and he needs to react much faster than the average person, which makes it difficult for young people to make decisions and not know what to do.

Fortunately, Chamberlain is also one of England's talented teenagers, and even if he hesitates, he knows that doing nothing is the most unsuccessful decision. Since you can't play with those complicated coordinations, it won't be a mistake to attack simply and roughly.

Outside the penalty area, Chamberlain picked up his thigh and blasted the football out with a long-range shot!

Oxlade-Chamberlain's long-range shot can be regarded as a little famous in the Premier League, and he is also a long-range shooter, but the quality of this long-range shot is really not high, and the football bounced out of Ruos's body in the penalty area. Arsenal's attack ended in a hurry, but it was not the most difficult for Arsenal players to accept.

The football was taken to the feet of Naldo, and half a field away, he made a long pass and kicked the ball towards Gao Shunyao in front!

Wolfsburg's attack was not as good as Arsenal's, but their counter-attack was very sharp!

In order to defend back, Gao Shunyao had already run past the midfield just now, and when he saw Naldo's pass, he ran forward. With this pass, Gao Shunyao always ran sideways, and he wanted to unload the ball in the air as soon as possible and attack immediately. And where he couldn't see, Coquelin had already moved closer, just as he wanted to fight for the ball this time.

Not far from the halfway point, Gao Shunyao received the ball in the air, and he had just unloaded the ball from the air, and Coquelin had already reached behind him. The sudden rush to grab the ball made Gao Shunyao also hurriedly bend down to protect the ball. However, when he noticed that it was Coquelin coming behind him, he immediately made a decision.

This is Arsenal's weakest defensive link, and Gao Shunyao is not prepared to hesitate in the slightest against this link. He took a step forward, dodged Coquelin's press, and then flicked the ball with a kick, and he suddenly changed direction and forced his way through!

Gao Shunyao's passing skills are not very good, but he is a little impactful, and it is not easy for the opponent to stop him. Relying on the chosen direction, Gao Shunyao had already found space for himself to accelerate, and between three steps, he had already added up the speed, and when he saw Coquelin who had just come up from the side at this time, Gao Shunyao took the ball and collided with him fiercely from the side, directly knocking him to the side!

Although Gao Shunyao's physical fitness is good, it is difficult to knock down opponents when he is stationary. But when he rushed, it was all different.

It's an indisputable fact that his impact is outstanding. Seeing him charging towards the goal, Koscielny in front of the goal had already met him, wanting to block Gao Shunyao from entering the penalty area. Throughout the game, he did his job very well, and it was quite difficult for Gao Shunyao to break through him. Gao Shunyao seemed to know this, just at the front of the penalty area, he didn't wait for Koscielny to get close, he had already shot a long shot, blasting the football out of his feet!

This time, Gao Shunyao's shot was obviously more focused on pressing the surface of his feet than the last time. Instead of turning into an anti-aircraft gun, the ball flew towards the right post of the goal. The speed of the football was fast and the angle was tricky, but Mannone, who was already engrossed in waiting for the attack, jumped up at this moment and blocked the ball in front of the ball with his horizontal palm, blocking the ball out of the goal line!

This beautiful interception made the Emirates Stadium cheer. However, the cheers of the people have not stopped, and in the penalty area, the figure of the Wolfsburg players has been quickly covered.

In the middle of the box, Mandzukic got rid of Vermaelen's entanglement. The Wolfsburg center, who was heavily defended throughout the game, suddenly charged with all his strength the moment the blocked football fell into the penalty area. Vermaelen had been relying on technique to guard him all over the court, but he didn't expect that Mandzukic would suddenly burst out with brute force and want to stop him, but it was too late.

His hand was still gripping Mandzukic's clothes, but Mandzukic rushed to the ball and nudged it towards the left-hand post. His shot and Gao Shunyao's shot happened to be two completely different corners, and no matter how good Mannone was, it was impossible to get up and save.

Jenkinson tried to run back, but he couldn't get enough time to get the ball out on the line of the box. Mandzukic didn't shoot fast, but he still rolled lightly across the goal line!

Mandzukic's goal came suddenly, and the entire Emirates Stadium fell into silence. Immediately, cheers and scolding erupted together, but no matter what kind of sound, it only meant one thing.

Wolfsburg scored, and they were ahead of Arsenal away!

"I scored, I scored!"

Mandzukic, who scored the goal, ran to Gao Shunyao excitedly, and he hugged Gao Shunyao heavily and slapped his partner fiercely. He knew very well that half of the credit for this goal should be attributed to Gao Shunyao's head, if there was no Gao Shunyao, this goal would never have been scored so easily.

From the beginning of the unsuccessful attack just now, Gao Shunyao has been discussing with Mandzukic how to play to be able to score, and in his imagination, after thinking about it, the biggest breakthrough point is Mannone.

Mannone is not Arsenal's starting goalkeeper after all, and as a substitute goalkeeper, his basic skills are still very different from those top goalkeepers. Other problems are difficult to exploit, but his saving hand is not the right type, this is easy to make mistakes, and if Wolfsburg keeps shooting from distance and bombarding the goal with his header, it can definitely increase the probability of him making mistakes.

Arsenal's defence is still okay, it's not easy to break through, but finding their holes in this way can break their goals better.

What Gao Shunyao discussed with Mandzukic just now is to do this - how many long shots, multiple headers, and more violent attacks make Mannone make mistakes. And their efforts have paid off. Looking up at the 1-0 score, Gao Shunyao also smiled: Arsenal may be strong, but in this game, it was Wolfsburg who scored first. (To be continued.) )
