“gogogogogog——o！！！”

"Beautiful! Pretty! Ibargasa is in! ”

"Cross!"

"Joseba !!"

"Woo~~~~!"

…

The stadium was restless, and just 40 seconds into the opening game, the Villarreal fans fell into the climax of the first wave.

Their team took advantage of Arsenal's lack of foothold and quickly passed the ball through midfield, and Ibargasa smashed the ball past Klich and sent the ball into the box cleanly.

However, Llorente's shot from the left side of the box was blocked by Almunia's hand at the near post. Villarreal missed the first chance to open the game.

Manuel Pellegrini shook his head regretfully, while Arsene Wenger had a solemn look on his face.

From a corner, Toure battled for the first spot and Arsenal attacked. Boosted by Villarreal's first wave of attacks, the game quickly got into the rhythm.

Rijkaard believes that Arsenal, with Xiang Hao and Cesc Fabregas, has a world-class midfield combination, and at the Love Song Stadium, Arsenal's advantage is enough to allow them to take the initiative.

However, the players and fans of Villarreal did not agree, and the endless singing echoed, and on the field, it was the Villarreal team that took the initiative.

4141, Arsenal did not suppress the opponent in attack after the opening, and the inevitable result was to expose their back line too much in front of the opposing players.

Xiang Hao is not a god, one person can't resist all the impacts, and the Villarreal team also knows Xiang Hao's difficulty, and in the tactics formulated by Pellegrini, it is to ask the players to attack around Xiang Hao, mobilize Xiang Hao, and tear away his defense.

From the outset, Villarreal's attacks rarely penetrated directly through the middle. Attacking on the flanks, and combining them in the wings, became Villarreal's main attacking pattern.

Let Xiang Hao run, mobilize the entire Arsenal defense, and look for opportunities.

In the fourth minute, Sennar scored a part of the ball and Rossi fired a low left-footed shot from 20 yards in front of goal, which was blocked by Almunia at the right post.

In the seventh minute, Ibargasa took a corner from the right, Capdevilla's shot from six yards was cleared by Clichy, and Gonzalo followed up with a left-footed tackle from close range.

Thankfully, Almunia was in the right position and held the ball in his arms in time, but the Spaniard was also kicked and had to be taken off the pitch for treatment.

In the ninth minute, the game once again entered the climax.

"Penalty! Penalty kick! Penalty kick! ”

"He's handballed! Arsenal players handball! ”

"Shhh

…

On the side again, Rossi covered, attracting Xiang Hao's attention in the middle, and Egulen suddenly made a diagonal pass into the penalty area. Llorente picked up the ball on the left side of the penalty area and wanted to pick past Galla, but the ball hit the Frenchman's left hand, and the stands were in an uproar and asked for penalties, but the Norwegian referee Obrebo was unmoved and signaled the game to continue.

The disgruntled boos at the Love Song Stadium resounded, and every time the Arsenal players got the ball, the Villarreal fans booed in return to vent their dissatisfaction.

"Phew, Arsenal's formation is too bold, Pellegrini is very clever to avoid the defense of Hao in the middle and attack from both sides, this is the biggest threat of the single midfielder, Arsenal's wing must have someone come back to help Hao defend the middle."

Lineker pointed out the reasons for Arsenal's passivity and gave advice.

'Arsenal's problem now is not in defence, but in their attack, which leads to too much concentration of the ball in midfield. Hao is a man, Villarreal passes the ball quickly, makes full use of the space, the attack is pressed up at once, and he can't do everything without giving Hao any one-on-one chances. ”

Mortenson points to the essence of the problem.

Arsene Wenger was playing the attacking card away from home, but perhaps because he was busy getting into form, or because Cesc Fabregas had just returned, they were not able to effectively threaten Villarreal's half.

The Spanish team's formation in the midfield is not compressed, which leads to their ability to attack Arsenal's backfield as quickly as possible in attack.

If you can't press in time for the first time, it will inevitably lead to a series of misplacements later. No matter how fast Xiang Hao is, he can't pass the ball faster.

That's why in the opening period, while the commentators were bullish on Arsenal, Villarreal took up more attacking time.

At this time, Wenger walked around the sidelines uneasily, looking a little helpless and anxious. The tactics have been laid out, but the players have not been able to get into the state, and the old man has no choice.

Manuel Pellegrini was also on the sidelines, but the Chilean was waiting, and he didn't care if Arsenal were out of form up front or slow to get into the game, but they didn't get out of the game anyway.

The opponent's offensive incompetence affects the defense, and seizing this gap to score one is the most important thing.

'It's a bit bad for Arsenal and now Villarreal have stepped up their interception of Arsenal's midfield, Arsenal can't have that much space for them anymore.

Mortensen saw that the situation was finding little by little in Arsenal's unfavourable side, and couldn't help but 'shout'.

It's a pity that this half-Arsenal fan, the number one 'Haomi' appeal, is late.

In the fifteenth minute of the game, the climax of the real meaning arrived.

This time, it was Arsenal's only midfielder on the field who was responsible - Xiang Hao.

Once again, Ibargasa got past Klich and slotted in from the flank, and Villarreal's attacking flanks came back again.

At the same time, the players of the Spanish team poured into the Arsenal penalty area, and the Arsenal players had to come back to fill the gap in the penalty area.

And when Xiang Hao entered the penalty area, Ibargasa also wore the back point, the position of the arc of the penalty area.

Seeing that there were no team members behind him to help fill it, Xiang Hao was shocked and hurriedly blocked out, but unfortunately it was still a step too late.

Xiang Hao's center of gravity was unstable and wanted to press for the first time, Giuseppe Rossi controlled the ball in the middle, turned around dexterously, avoided Xiang Hao, and knocked on the right side at the same time, not giving Xiang Hao time for a second reaction at all.

The unmarked Senna didn't plan to enter the penalty area at all, and got up directly from 25 meters in front of the goal, and shot with a powerful and heavy shot, straight to the upper right corner, 1-0!

“GOOOOOOOOOO——OL！！！ Senna, Senna! Our captain, our captain, scored for us! 1-0！ We are ahead of Arsenal!! ”

The cheers of the Iberian Peninsula and the love song stadium instantly plunged into a sea of joy.

"Huhu

"We scored!"

"Attack - Yellow Submarine!"

…

The flag was shining, as in the yellow ocean, setting off huge waves, cheering and shouting, like the sound of waves, surging waves.
