Chapter 468: Twenty-Seven Balls Against Twenty-Four Balls
Diego. Costa turned his head to look at the football from time to time when he ran in the front court, and although it was easy to raise his head like that, it was easy for the rain to flow into his eyes, but the opportunity was also in this rain. Now I'm 27 goals, and that kid is still stuck at 24 goals, so I obviously have a better chance!
Diego. Costa is keen to win individual awards in his first year in the Premier League, and as a centre-forward, there's nothing better than the 'Top Scorer' award. So, despite his words, Costa has always been very serious and hard working to fight for this award.
He Xu also has a lot of desire for this award in his heart, of course, he can't show it too obviously, otherwise his teammates will definitely keep passing the ball to him, regardless of whether he has a relatively good opportunity or not.
Ramirez's shot was not picked up by Costa, it was De Vrij who received the ball, his eyes were good, and after staring at the spot of the ball, he ran all the way from his position, sprang up and pushed the ball back, this time in the direction of Garrincha. And the moment Garrincha stretched his foot to stop the ball, the football not only rubbed on his foot and changed the direction of flight, but Garrincha also fell to the ground in embarrassment.
The drainage system at the Emirates Stadium is actually fine, but in the face of heavy rain like this, no matter how good your drainage ability is, the turf will always be slippery. Garrincha thumped the ground with his hand and got up with a look of indignation.
The football was stopped out of bounds by him, and at this time Cui Jiantao was running up with a wicked smile on his face. Holding the football aloft high, he looked at him with some mockery. This made Garin itch at the root of his teeth, and wondered in his heart how to give him some color.
Cui Jiantao threw the ball to Eden Hazard, the Belgian superstar was obviously careful, he pushed his body back, waited for the football to fall in front of him, and then stretched out his foot to stop the ball, don't question why his movements can be done so easily and comfortably, Arsenal's wing has always been their defensive weakness, Fer and Massimo need to balance the middle and the wing. It's inevitable that there will be distractions. And among Arsenal's several regular options for wing midfielders, it seems that there is really no one who can come back to defend, whether it is physical strength or ability, these people can't do this.
Eden Hazard after the ball. The body rotates in a rotation. Turn in the direction of Arsenal's goal. Cautiously accelerated, rushed over. Seeing him sliding towards him step by step, Chen Boyan lowered his body's center of gravity, trying to make himself more stable to face the impact of this guy. But he seems to be a little worried.
Hazard ran forward with the ball for less than ten meters, but at this time he felt that the ten meters were as long as fifty meters, he only felt that his legs were weak at this time, he wanted to pass the ball quickly, but when he raised his head, a drop of rain just fell into his eyes! He subconsciously closed his eyes, and the ball kicked off!
Chen Boyan, who was about to go up to steal, did not cut off the football, but Fair, who wanted to help defend just now, accidentally received an own long pass from Hazard. He hurriedly stepped on the ball, leaning on the opponent's defender with his strong body, and while he did not forget to increase the strength of his feet a little.
It looks like the rain has made it difficult for the two teams to face each other, while Arsenal, who have a greater technical advantage, have a bit tougher. It was difficult for them to pass the ball and control the tempo of the game as they normally would, which invisibly gave their opponents a lot of breathing space. However, Chelsea's counter-attack is not able to play so smoothly, because Xiaofa is always prone to accidentally slipping and falling to the ground when passing the ball, and he has to watch out for this problem. As a result, many passes will always seem so slow that the ball is cut off by the opponent.
Mourinho pretended to be calm a little anxiously, he actually needs this victory more than Wenger, because the two teams are now the same league points, if that happens, in the first meeting, his team lost to Arsenal at home in their own home, so if you look at the relationship between victory and defeat, your team will not have an advantage.
He had to stand up in the rain and come to the side of the pitch and stared nervously at his players. Compared to him, the older Arsene Wenger is more protective of his body, and the old coach sits in his seat and watches the performance of his players with a calm expression. He believes that his players will be able to make effective adjustments to the situation on the pitch. Because their captain and midfielder are all players with great football intelligence.
Xiao Luo controls the ball, although his skills are a handful, but this does not mean that he can hold the ball much better in this environment. When he pulled the ball to avoid the opponent's grab, he didn't hook the rain-soaked ball, and landed him on the pitch, which was cut off by Nemanja Matic, who was defending him.
In Ronaldo's case, it is not so easy to deal with Matic. However, Matic, who broke the ball to stop nausea, was no better than to take it, and before he could pass the ball, he slipped and mixed garlic under his feet. At that time, relying on his size advantage, he still managed to protect the ball.
He didn't bring much himself, but still chose to pass the ball to Xiaofa, Fabregas, who took the ball, this time because no one around him interfered with him, so he easily controlled the ball, aimed and adjusted his body, and then passed the ball to the front court very comfortably. Watching him pass the ball, Wenger suddenly became a little nervous, this is to ......
Sure enough, Xiaofa showed off his best overhead through ball, which has been very slippery since he was at Arsenal, not to mention that he was guided by Pep Guardiola and Mourinho.
Diego, who had been wiping the water while looking at his own half. Like a hound in the sight of a frisbee, Costa rushed towards the Arsenal penalty area. He ran with open arms, maintaining his balance while keeping out his former Atletico team-mate Godin who wanted to overtake him from behind.
Costa walked briskly forward, and with Godin chasing and pulling behind him, Costa felt as if he had become steady under his feet. He ran forward quickly, and when the ball fell, he did not stop the ball, but quickly stretched out his foot and pushed the ball on it, and a volley with some strange angles......
Mariano. Arini's cry was not extinguished by the heavy rain, he exclaimed excitedly, "Just because of this, you also want to break my goal?" Stop dreaming! Strike! ”
At the end of his word "flutter", he suddenly lost his confidence, and it sounded like a long "woo". As for such reasons, football has left a mark on the equally soaked net.
Mariano, who threw himself out on the side, shook his head violently. Costa's kick not only hit the football, but also brought a small splash, and Mariano's eye was just hit by the splash. Although it didn't hurt very much, he still narrowed his eyes as if frightened, and it was this moment that caused him to not see the flight path of the football clearly, so that his hand, which had fallen on the flight path of the football, missed the ball at a distance of only five centimeters. Chelsea took a magical lead in the 29th minute of the first half, in the midst of a terrible downpour, as they took a 1-0 lead over Arsenal.
“Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!” Mourinho shouted hysterically at his substitutes, at the fans, at the players who rushed towards him. And he himself once again recreated the classic kneeling of the year, he galloped onto the Arsenal pitch, and then a passionate kneeling rushed to his own pile of players. He didn't care that his trousers were stained by muddy water, and as he stood up, he patted Costa on the shoulder fiercely, "Good boy! Well done! What a clean goal! Well done! ”
Mourinho could have praised him a few more words, but he didn't have a chance because the referee had already sent him out. In fact, he didn't eat cards in this way, it's already very good, maybe the referee was dazed by the rain and forgot to take out the cards, right?
He Xu looked at his goalkeeper with some dumbfounded, and at this time, Diego, who had finished celebrating. Costa walked in front of him, the two of them were about the same height, so it was difficult for Costa to be condescending to He Xu like he was talking to others, "Twenty-seven is better than twenty-four!" Oh, no, counting the one just now, it's twenty-eight to twenty-four! Don't worry, you still have a lot of time! Seven rounds of league games, is it enough? ”
He Xu didn't accept his provocation, just lowered his head and said coldly, "If you want to catch up with four goals, I can do it in one game, believe it or not?" ”
Costa wanted to shake his head, but then he thought of He Xu's wonderful senior happiness this season, which made him a little overwhelmed, so he could only "hum" coldly, and then walked to his own half.
He Xu wiped the rain from his face in vain, and turned his head to look at Bo Yang, "The next game depends on you, man......" (To be continued......)
