Chapter 46: Who and the Ups and Downs (2)
The first half came to the 37th minute, and the scene was slightly lighter than before, and the Southampton players wasted a lot of energy due to the heavy running and pressing just now. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info: Just now, Chen Zhun also saw that some of the team members couldn't run. Chen Zhun also fully thought of this before the game, so he signaled the players to compress the defense and save physical energy.
It was only at this time that the Arsenal team really took the initiative on the pitch and began to play a positional battle in the Southampton half.
In the 39th minute, Cesc Fabregas of the Arsenal team dribbled the ball in the midfield, Vardy stepped forward to interfere, Fabregas did not dare to be careless, and passed the ball to the feet of the captain Vieira, who was protecting him next to him. Vieira glanced in the box, but the ball was passed to the feet of Ashley Cole, who had quietly cut in, because the Southampton players had just focused on the middle, and the defense on the wing was in a vacuum for a while, which also caused Ashley Cole to easily take the ball without interference and complete the cross.
Chen Zhun saw this biography on the sidelines, and his heart chuckled. I thought to myself, "It's broken! It's a hundred secrets! ”。
Martin Taylor's voice rang out: "Ashley Cole's cross flew low and fast into the box, Klaus Lundkwan didn't touch the ball in front of him, the ball came to the six-yard box with a strong spin, Henry had already hit the six-yard box, he raised his foot to shoot, and his Southampton player Michael Swensson tried to interfere with Henry's shot. But Henry still managed to reach the ball, and it flew to the bottom right corner of the goal after Henry's touch! This goal is going to be scored!! ”
Chen Zhun didn't dare to breathe anymore, for fear that he would miss something. Arsene Wenger had also sat up from his seat, waiting for the moment to come. The whole stadium was watching the moment the ball went into the goal.
Southampton's goalkeeper Niemi didn't agree, it was the gate he guarded, how could it be easily broken down. In the middle of the goal, Luniemi reacted quickly, he moved a step to his left, and then quickly lowered his center of gravity and pounced on the bottom left corner of the goal, when Niemi's gloves pounced on the bottom left corner, just touched the menacing ball, he concentrated all the strength of his body on his left arm, and saved the ball from the bottom line.
Chen Zhun's heart hanging in his throat can land safely. The crisis has been lifted for the time being. He is now hoping for a quick end to the first half.
Arsenal's corner kick was headed out by Lundkwan, Delap was on the line of the penalty area to clear the ball, he saw Vardy running forward again, Delap watched the ball fly towards him, and when the ball was within range of him he could pick up a kick, Delap did not hesitate to make this move. The ball began to leap forward in the air again.
Arsene Wenger saw Delap kick the ball forward and was looking for a counter-attack. Arsene Wenger hurriedly shouted loudly for the Arsenal players to hurry back. Now Arsenal only have two people in the half, Sigan and Lauren. Next to them was Jamie Vardy.
Vardy saw the ball in the sky flying in the direction he was heading, and Vardy took advantage of his speed to get the ball and burst forward. He saw that Sigan and Lauren were also waiting on either side of him, ready to close and grab the ball, and for a moment the youngster panicked and didn't know what to do next. Suddenly, he heard the voice of David Winston on the sidelines.
"Speed! Breakthrough! ”
Jamie Jamie Dardy instantly understood that his biggest advantage on the pitch was speed. Sigan and Lauren's pressing was getting closer and closer, and suddenly, Vardy kicked the ball between Sigan and Lauren, and Sigan and Lauren were ready to double the goal to block Vardy and completely solve the Southampton counter-attack. But they were one step behind Vardy's speed, and Vardy relied on his speed and body to swoop between the two bodies, causing Lauren and Sigan to both fall to the ground.
"Oh! Jamie Vardy!! A boy like the wind! He slipped through between two Arsenal defenders and regained possession of the ball. Jamie Vardy is only left with Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann left to conquer this stadium. ”
After Vardy managed to break through two Arsenal defenders on the pitch, he looked behind him to see that there were no players chasing him, and he was now facing only goalkeeper Lehmann. At this time, he was in the middle of the court, but he could not feel the slightest sound in the court, as if he could only hear his rapid breathing.
Vardy muttered to himself: "Steady, steady, I'm going to score, I'm going to score." ”
Jamie Vardy continued to run forward with that strong conviction, and across from him Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann was thinking about how to attack.
'Jamie Vardy is fast and he has no intention of slowing down. Jamie Vardy has burst into the box! The Arsenal goalkeeper opted to attack, but he was a little slow to strike, with Jens Lehmann opening his hands to interfere with Jamie Vardy in an attempt to get the ball back from Jamie Vardy's feet. Jamie Vardy is about to get up and shoot!! Jens Lehmann hurriedly turned sideways to make a save, oh! It was a feint by Jamie Vardy, who managed to shake off Jens Lehmann, who paused on his toes to choose a lateral dribble as he prepared to shoot. Jamie Vardy shakes off Jens Lehmann and shoots into the empty net!! Goal!! The ball is in!! Jamie Vardy!! The perfect Premier League debut! It was Jamie Vardy's maiden goal in the Premier League. I seem to see hope for England's future forward! David Winston's Amazing Soldiers! Southampton are 1-0 ahead of Arsenal on the road. ”
After the goal, Jamie Vardy looked extremely excited, kissing the Southampton emblem frantically on the pitch and running away with emotion. Chen Zhun on the sidelines and the fans who followed him were also excited, and they saw Jamie Vardy raise their arms and chant at the same time after the goal, and Southampton were one step closer to victory. At that moment, only Southampton's voice was heard at Highbury Stadium, which was piercing in the hearts of Arsenal fans, and in the past five minutes, the whole stadium has experienced a rollercoaster mood, but some people are happy and some are worried.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger looked dignified and ugly when he saw such a conceded goal, he looked at the lonely eyes of the disciples on the field, and he now longed for the end of the first half of the game. Because Arsenal lost their original thing in the first half under the pressure of Southampton, if it continues like this, then the expectation of Arsenal capsizing in the gutter will become a reality.
In the remaining minutes of the first half, Arsenal did not form another effective attack. Arsenal also returned to the dressing room with a 1-0 deficit.
Martin Taylor reflected on the first half of the game and said: "In terms of personnel changes, coach David Winston was undoubtedly a magical change, compared to Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger's changes in the middle of the pitch looked lackluster in the first half. Teenager Francisco Fabregas did not play the role of conditioning the attack in the middle, but instead he became Arsenal's player who was tackled the most in the first half. After a short break, we continue to watch the second half of the game between the two teams. ”
