Chapter 141: The Baptism of the Soul
The game had already entered the half-time break, and the scene that had happened ten minutes earlier was still being talked about by everyone in the stands. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
That's how the audience is, they pay to watch the game live, stay up late in front of the TV, just to experience those classic moments firsthand.
Compared with the previous scenes where the attackers performed frantically and the defenders were dizzy like a backdrop, this classic moment has nothing to do with the goal, but it is far beyond the shock of a one-sided performance in terms of ornamentation!
Two people, the same action, the same goal, every minute and second, even the hitting part is almost symmetrical!
What does this mean?
It shows that this kind of thing is as common to them as it is to take a penalty from the 12-yard line!
"I didn't expect this guy named Zlatan Ibrahimovic to be so powerful!"
"The guy who is second only to Ruud van Nistelrooy on the scorer list, of course amazing!"
"It's different, I've watched their games, and the style is completely different!"
'Yes, this big man from Chelsea has a flowing style of play, a lot of imagination, and he is very physically exaggerated and flexible!'
"Well, in terms of these characteristics, he is the same type of player as MO, both of whom are from a non-system background and play a bit freewheeling!"
"It's a pity, Mo can only play at centre-back now."
Is it a pity?
It seems to be a little, but it's ......
"If you play as a striker, you won't see that scene just now in your life!"
Wang Dan said with a smile, glanced at the scoreboard hanging in the sky, and was a little anxious, "They have more chances than us in the first half, and with the advantage of physical strength, it seems that it is not easy to play in the second half?" ”
"yes, who's to say it isn't!" Ljungberg's face was a little dignified, and he nodded slightly: "Their tactics are very effective, the defensive level is well arranged, and Thomas Rosicky's role is limited." ”
Wang Dan was immediately anxious when he heard this, "Then if the game goes on like this, there is a great possibility of losing?" ”
Ljungberg pursed his lips and frowned, "Yes, changes are needed to threaten the opponent in the attack. Otherwise, if you blindly rely on defense to solve the problem, the pressure will only increase! ”
"Change? Kick a little more risky? ”
"Probably......"
Ljungberg's tone wasn't quite sure.
Arsene Wenger was similarly troubled.
Arsenal have been able to hold on until now, and the investment of troops in the defense is crucial, but what he didn't expect was that Chelsea's research on Rosicky had reached a new level, and the layers of defense were like iron chains, shackling the hands and feet of the Czechs!
It is difficult for anyone to fight their way out of such a defense with their individual ability, let alone a 19-year-old who is recovering from an injury and needs to find his form through the game. Therefore, if you want to make a fuss in the attack in the second half, it is an inevitable choice to boldly press, otherwise you can only watch the time pass rapidly, your physical strength will decline rapidly, and you will finally fall into the quagmire of not being able to attack and defend!
But once the pressure is pressed, the defense that is not solid enough will definitely become full of holes, and it may not threaten the opponent's goal, and its own backyard is no longer safe!
What to do?
"Everyone's efforts have paid off."
There was some quiet in the dressing room, and when Wenger's voice suddenly sounded, many people froze for a moment before they realized that it was the manager who came.
The mental drain in such a game is very large, especially when defending, the brain needs to keep following the opponent at high speed, and the body does not dare to stop for a moment.
The so-called "pinnacle showdown" is like this, and it is possible to persevere to the end under the test of non-humans, and the smile of the goddess of victory will appear at the finish line.
For the Arsenal team in front of them, which has just gone on an expedition, the difficulty is a notch higher than that of the opponent!
'It's a pity that the opponent was prepared and reduced our attack to a point where it was not enough to threaten the goal.
'It tilted the scales in their favour and it was hard to make the final result as we expected without making changes.
"As for how to change, you probably all know. It should be emphasized here that if you don't make changes, you have a high chance of losing, and if you make changes, you are also facing huge risks! ”
"In this case, what are your options?"
Faced with such a question, the answer of all is without thinking.
The sound shook the ceiling and buzzed.
"Up, kill them!"
It's often that simple.
Standing and dying is also death, and kneeling is also death, so why not choose a decent way to die?
As soon as the reason is explained, everyone's luck psychology is gone, and even if the hope of victory is still slim, there will be no wavering!
Arsene Wenger made a split second decision, but before that, the conversation between the two guys gave him plenty of inspiration.
"Hey, you say, isn't it a bit hanging in the second half of our game if we continue to play like this?"
As he was walking towards the players' tunnel, Lehmann put his arm around Youmo's shoulders and asked with a big grin in German.
The biggest feature of these two goods is that they have big hearts, and they belong to the typical type of type that smashes a high first when the sky falls. Considering the limited tolerance of their teammates, they still habitually used secret weapons to talk, and as a result, they accidentally ignored the head coach not far behind them.
"Yes, Chelsea's defence is at the top of the Premier League, especially the number 26 John Terry, who looks like a young man, is proficient in all kinds of martial arts, and it's a pity not to play as a striker!"
"Damn, are you irritating me?"
"Seriously, just wait and see, maybe he can be the defender with the most goals in the Premier League after me!"
"You're not kidding?"
"What are you lying to? He and I participated in the World Junior Championships that year, and I was optimistic about him at that time, like Thomas! ”
As soon as he heard this, Lyman could only nod yes and continue to ask: "Do you want to tell the boss, anyway, it's not a big chance to win if you continue to defend it, why don't you press it out and fight to the death?" ”
Yu Mo shook his head.
"If you want to say it, I'm a coward, if I don't guess the boss's thoughts, wouldn't it be unjust to say it and be scolded?"
"Cowardly ......."
......
The idea was unified, and the second half of the game suddenly looked good.
The strong dialogue is like this, if they all choose to defend solidly and wait for the opportunity to counterattack, the midfield chaos has become the main theme of the game, although it looks intense, in fact, the goals of both sides are very safe, and the score is even more difficult to change. But once one of them takes the lead in changing, and would rather break the jade than seek the whole tile, then it will inevitably be bloody and bloody!
In the 49th minute, Ashley Cole started at high speed, set the edge, went down successfully, and found Henry who was outflanked in the middle with an accurate cross!
The Frenchman scared the Chelsea people into a cold sweat with a header that he was not good at, and the ball finally grazed the crossbar and went out of the bottom line!
In the 56th minute, the returning Arsenal soldiers completed a series of exquisite combinations on the right side, Rosicky, who was supported by his teammates, sent a through ball in the ribs, and Henry's powerful shot was blocked by the goalkeeper with his legs!
The continuous highlight performance made the fans in the stadium rise in unison, cheering and cheering wave after wave, as if victory was close at hand, and they enjoyed the joy of harvest.
It's a pity that reality is like a scoop of cold water, pouring through their hearts.
In the 65th minute, Chelsea got a chance to kick the ball, and John Terry, who was highly praised by Youmo, really didn't let him look away, jumped high in front of the head and rubbed the ball, and the ball grazed the frame into the net!
1:0!
Arsenal's strong attack failed, and Chelsea took the lead!
In this corner kick defense, Yumo was between Ibrahimovic and Anelka, beware of these two guys over 185 tall fishing in troubled waters. As a result, the first one could not be prevented from fifteen, and the Chelsea team, which had a lot of high points in the penalty area, completed the fatal blow with the simplest and most effective attacking means!
Amid the sighs of the audience, Lyman's loud voice sounded first.
The voice was not depressed, and it was not in German.
"Is there such a crow's mouth? Don't be afraid to look at me, turn your head and let me see your expression! ”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, You Mo had already turned his head and looked at each other.
The expression is very serious.
"Damn, do you know what a crow's mouth is? Bailey's kind of thing! ”
Lyman was suddenly angry, blowing his beard and glaring, "I don't care, you can fill the hole you dug yourself!" ”
You Mo nodded happily and turned around in a dashing manner.
"It's just a goal, it's a matter of working hard."
After enjoying a two-man turn, the mood of the Arsenal players suddenly changed.
Although I still didn't understand what the two were talking about, no one could hear the meaning of the last sentence.
Indeed, in the previous few attacks, they were just a fraction of a second away from scoring, so there's no need to be frustrated by the expected goal!
Knowing this, they let go of their worries and put the victory or defeat behind them.
In the next game, Chelsea, which tended to be more conservative because of the lead, was surrounded and attacked, and the Arsenal players, whose physical strength was close to the limit, were all superhumanly possessed, going up and down as if they had endless physical strength!
The goal didn't come right away, and the substitutions started first.
Arsenal are still the same, and there is almost no replacement in such a summit matchup. Chelsea were different, with Claudio Ranieri swinging his hand, Nicolas Anelka being substituted and Gianfranco Zola coming on!
In such a significant derby, the Frenchman's performance was decent and deserved. However, his family knew his own affairs, and Anelka had nowhere to vent his anger in his heart, which eventually led to almost invisibility in the second half of the game.
Needless to say, the source of the anger is known.
Yumo's opening greeting brought back painful memories, and as time passed, he couldn't fight back with his on-court performance, and the pain began to grow exponentially. So much so that when the ball arrives at him, there is always no return, and the originally smooth attack becomes a mess.
But just when the team was leading and the situation was good, he could only accept the fact that he was replaced, and pretended to be indifferent in the earth-shattering boos.
This made his anger uncontrollable, and he ignored his teammates and the head coach who took the initiative to make overtures, and walked to the locker room on his own.
But at the moment, his mood is ignored, and everyone's attention is focused on the field.
In the 77th minute, the Arsenal team, which was becoming more and more aggressive, firmly suppressed the opponent in the half, and the skillful passing and cutting coordination was dazzling!
Henry, Pire, Wiltord, Rosicky, Grimandi, five guys with no worries, showed their talents on the offensive end, and the short pass penetration was like mercury, quickly making the opponent's position begin to waver!
Henry, who has already missed the goal twice, was not ignored by Lady Luck this time, and after wave after wave of tidal attacks, he scored with a powerful shot in his territory!
1:1!
Arsenal's counterattack did not disappoint the supporters, the goal came just right, and the cheers resounded for miles!
It's a pity that the goddess of fate seems to be doing the opposite, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has no martial arts but does not come in handy, broke out in adversity!
Chelsea's attacking opportunity was orchestrated by the short-term Bantam Gianfranco Zola, and after successive individual breakaways, Arsenal's right side of defence was opened!
When the ball moved to the middle, Ibrahimovic was surrounded by people in front of him and behind him, and he didn't look much of a threat.
As a result, no one expected that the Swede, who was 195 tall, had outrageous agility and a strong body like a Tiger tank. So much so that Vieira, who was not inferior to him in height and weight, could not shake it, and could only watch the opponent break through the defense of Kolo Toure, lean on Youmo, who stepped forward to protect, and pushed and shot straight into the dead corner in the penalty area!
2:1!
Chelsea are overtaking again!
This kind of goal that is completed by individual ability deeply shocked every spectator. Even if they don't want to admit it in their hearts, they all know very well that in front of this kind of non-human guy, normal defense is useless, and they can't stop the opponent at all!
The Highbury Stadium suddenly fell silent, except for the Chelsea soldiers who were celebrating wildly and the few fans, only two guys were still talking as if no one was around.
"What's going on, it's a little bit bad?"
Lyman struggled for a moment and decided to use English instead.
You Mo didn't object, and nodded happily: "Yes, there is not much time left for us. ”
Upon hearing this, Lyman was immediately a little deflated, but he couldn't see it on the surface.
"Why don't you go up, I'll leave it to me later!"
You Mo was overjoyed.
"Hehe, I'm waiting for your words!"
At the end of the brief conversation, all the Arsenal players seemed to be resurrected, crossing the derby line in a majestic and desperate battle for a slim goal.
Everyone knows how risky it is to play like this, but everyone knows even more that if you don't play like this, it will be difficult to complete the task of equalizing or even reversing in less than five minutes!
In that case, why die on your knees?
In that case, why not expect a miracle?
In that case, why not take the initiative and create miracles?
As if a big drama needs a finale performance to complete the final climax, the Arsenal players were completely forgetful, all of them were fierce, and firmly suppressed the opponent again, forming a half-court attack and defense!
Time was passing quickly, but there was no anxiety on their faces, some were just calm, just detached smiles.
To be able to turn the derby into a baptism of the soul is really worth the loss!
