Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Most Brilliant Victory
Hector Cooper is a respectable coach, but his coaching is less of a joyful feeling.
However, at this moment, in the first half, Arsenal poured three goals on the road, still in the Champions League. It was arguably the perfect win for Héctor Cooper in charge of Inter Milan.
After the first half, Arsenal's situation was not optimistic.
In the first round, Arsenal and Lokomotiv Moscow exchanged scores, and the two teams eventually drew hands, while in the second round of the Champions League group stage, Arsenal looked unlucky.
After all, there is not much else, and what Hector Cooper is best at is defense.
What's more, in this game, Toldo performed extremely well, and in the first half, he saved Henry's penalty.
But with the idea of just in case, Hector Cooper still made some defensive arrangements at halftime, but for Momo, Hector Cooper continued to ask Momo to seek opportunities in the opponent's backfield to hit a fatal blow.
The current Hector Cooper has some unique feelings about the saying that offense is the best defense.
Originally, he hated the kind of striker who didn't return to defense, but when Momo didn't return to defense was more valuable than defense, Hector Cooper was not pedantic to that extent!
The break went by quickly, and after Héctor Cooper's adjustments, Inter's defence was more layered, and Arsenal struggled to break through.
In the second half, Arsenal continued to step up their attack, but Inter Milan showed what it means to be perfect defensively.
'Arsenal launched wave after wave of onslaught, but they couldn't fully put their players into attack, and it would be even worse if they were accidentally hit on a counter-attack.
Chen Nu's voice was a little ridiculous, it was already October, and around February 2004, the World Cup qualifiers were about to start, and South Korea and Japan, which suffered losses in the East Asian Cup, were estimated to be full of energy to give China a good look!
Now seeing that Mo Mo is in such a good state, it is inexplicably like taking a reassuring pill.
In the 64th minute of the game, the manager of Arsenal, who still had no achievements, replaced Kanu and Bergkamp at the same time, hoping that he could make a difference and change the situation of the game.
It wasn't until the 67th minute of the game that Arsenal got a good chance, which was an attack from Thierry, Ljungberg had been replaced at this time, and Kanu and Bergkamp, who had just come on, were quite helpful to Henry.
The two of them held back the energy of most of the Inter players and on the edge of the box, Kemp delivered a beautiful through ball that Thierry Henry was quick enough to get away from the defenders beside him.
"Okay! Henry! It was a fluid attack from Arsenal and it seems that Ljungberg does not need to be aggrieved, he is indeed not the best candidate. ”
There seemed to be a spark in Henry's eyes, damn it! It's still too late!
After paying attention to the situation around them, the players of Inter Milan are still some distance away from Henry, and in the face of such a situation, Henry directly got up and did not choose to continue to dribble too much.
Toldo has been keeping an eye on Henry's movements, if there is a threat ranking, it is obvious that Henry is the highest ranked, Toldo is constantly adjusting his center of gravity and position when Henry gets rid of it, and when Henry gets up, the ball seems to be in Toldo's arms.
'It was a good save and Thor did a great job to keep out Thierry's shot! Inter Milan continued to hold a three-goal lead. ”
Now in fact, not only Chen Nu is paying attention to Momo, many Chinese fans are also paying attention to Momo, some people say on the Internet that China may not be able to pass the World Cup qualifiers this time, however, looking at Momo's performance now, what else is impossible?
Little by little, the clock passed. In the 69th minute of the game, Inter Milan's Materazzi was tackled by Arsenal's Bergkamp.
It was a vulgar tackle, but Bergkamp touched the ball first, and then the man! Materazzi couldn't get up after a few heel fights on the ground in a row!
Martins stepped forward to check on Materazzi's injury and then gestured to the off-pitch manager Héctor Cooper, who looked a little unhappy, but it was clear that Arsenal were already in the dark.
Comparing hearts to hearts, if Inter Milan is facing such a situation, will they be anxious? If you fight Arsenal now, is it worth it? While Hector Cooper was pondering this series of questions, Materazzi fell to the ground and was being treated.
As the game slowly drew to a close. Arsenal's attack became more and more aggressive, of course, there was some instability and pompousness, and even in the 72nd minute of the game, Arsenal player Kanu passed the ball directly to the players against Inter Milan.
Such an attack is unlikely to please the fans, with Arsenal fans booing from the stands on either side.
Arsenal dominates the league, how did they become a soft-footed shrimp in the Champions League?
The head coach in the Arsenal dugout had a gloomy face, and it was clear that if this game was lost, Ljungberg would definitely not have had an easy time.
"It's the 80th minute of the game, and although football is round, I still think Arsenal may not even be able to qualify for the group stage this time."
Chen Nu has a point in saying this, in the last game, Lokomotiv Moscow and Arsenal played to a draw, and in this one, Dynamo Kyiv is now 2-0 at home. That is, because of a draw between Arsenal and Lokomotiv Moscow, both could be eliminated in the group stage.
This is obviously unacceptable to Arsenal, Henry began to look for opportunities, and did find some opportunities, but I don't think there will be a better one than now!
In the 80th minute of the game, Henry received the ball from his teammates, and deceived the defenders of Inter Milan with a fake move, and after bursting into the penalty area, this time Henry took a decisive left-footed shot!
Arsenal fans probably can't keep their cool at this moment! Their voices shouted, as if it would give Henry strength.
Today, however, Toldo is like a divine help.
I saw him leap forward, and his right hand just blocked Henry's left foot out of bounds.
However, it gave Arsenal a great deal of confidence and they continued to push back just a minute later, in the 81st minute of the game, when all eyes were on Thierry Henry.
Henry decisively passed the ball to the unmarked Kanu, however, in the face of such a great opportunity, Kanu actually pushed the ball gently to Toldo, as if it were a return pass.
The angry roar of the Arsenal manager seemed to resound throughout the stadium, cough cough, of course this is impossible!
However, the poor performance of the new Kanu is intolerable to any manager.
"Oh my God! Henry might as well take a long-range shot himself, it's a shameful waste! How did Arsenal's manager put Kanu on the pitch? ”
Chen Nu's voice was full of puzzlement, if so, the perfect opportunity just ten meters away from the goal could be wasted, then what else to expect?
In the 82nd minute, Arsenal were awarded a free-kick and Thierry Henry's free-kick went over the wall, but Toldo was in the right position.
In stoppage time, Arsenal couldn't find a way to find the back of the net.
When the whistle blew, the Inter fans cheered excitedly, but the Arsenal fans looked a little dim.
It looks like they will miss out on the Champions League and go home in the group stage? (To be continued.) )
