Chapter 391: Arsenal Getting Stronger
Just when He Xu was about to go back to pick it up, Tang Lintian, who had been unknown in the midfield, suddenly became troubled. I saw him catch the ball very quickly and turn, and then move very quickly past Sven, who had been following him closely. Bender, in a passing moment, knocked the ball on his toes and sent the ball to a place that Bender couldn't touch. Then, he accelerated to chase after him, and the moment he attracted the defenders to rush towards him, he flicked the ball out of the way and passed it to Wilshere, who was waiting on the wing.
After Wilshere got the ball, he didn't move at all, rubbed his left foot, the football flew up, bypassed the head of Piszczek who was grabbing, and fell to Garrincha at the front of the penalty area. This kick was really a bit unexpected by Weidenfeller, in fact, even He Xu didn't expect that Garrincha, who has always been characterized by skill, would be able to play such a moment.
The volley, which was not only sudden but also full of violent beauty, went through the Dortmund backline, but also through Weidenfeller's raised hands, but at the same time, it flew over the crossbar.
The soccer ball flew off the beam and hit the billboard in the back. Weidenfeller, who flew out sideways and then landed on the ground, only felt that his heart was beating faster, it was too dangerous! If he had gone a little further, even if I had been able to find the right direction, I would not have been able to block it, and the football would have knocked my hand away and into the goal!
The German goalkeeper, who was apprehensive, got up and took the football thrown from behind. Prepare for a goal kick.
"Hey, what a shame that shot just now! If this is to go in! I think this goal must have directly booked the best goal in this round of the Champions League! It's just amazing! The crown said.
Garrincha smacked his tongue with great regret, but He Xu patted him on the back, "Oops! There must be a chance to score like this! Isn't it just a volley! I'll show you how to do it later, if you learn it, it's easy to score goals! While speaking, He Xu ran towards the middle circle, it seems that I should still go to their midfield to catch the ball, and then make a good mess! Not in that case. They're too relaxed, too......
Think so. He Xu had already retreated to the midfield, and Weidenfeller's goalball flew far away, but Chen Boyan jumped up and came back from Lewandowski's head. Massimo didn't pause after the ball was returned. Turn and pass the ball directly. kicked the ball to He Xu, who was waiting for him in front of the arc of the middle circle, although He Xu had Sven by his side at this time. Bender is almost a babysitter's close defense. The moment the football flew by, Bender suddenly felt that the limp body that had been leaning against him before became stronger. Caught off guard. He was pushed away by He Xu, and He Xu, who had squeezed out of the space, stopped the ball on his chest, and then quickly turned around and picked up the falling ball. Subotic, who came up to make up for the defense, could only watch the football fly over his head, and He Xu also rushed past his side in one step, so fast that he even reached out and grabbed a corner of his jersey.
After He Xu got rid of two defenses, only Weidenfeller and Hummels were left in front of him and the goal. Hummels is tall, but he is nimble on his feet. Seeing He Xu constantly approaching him, he took half a step back thoughtfully, don't think that this half step back is a confession to He Xu. This is a way of defending by retreating, if he moves forward quickly to block He Xu's way, then he will most likely be passed by He Xu relying on dazzling foot skills combined with speed, and the method he chose at this time not only leaves room for himself to defend, but also further restricts He Xu's preparatory actions.
However, He Xu is not an ordinary person, just when Hummels felt that he was blocking He Xu, He Xu's right foot pulled, and then knocked the ball from his back to his left with his heel. rushed forward with the ball diagonally, this time it was very unexpected by the opponent, Hummels didn't even have time to move sideways, and was directly thrown away by He Xu half of his body. He Xu's terrifying speed was evident at this moment, and Hummels' agility was actually enough to match his body to crush most of the forwards. Of course, at this time, He Xu was no longer one of the most forwards, and seeing that Hummels was unable to block He Xu, Weidenfeller had already attacked decisively!
"Weidenfeller strikes! He Xu was stuck behind Hummels! Weidenfeller intercepts in the striker, He Xu! Shoot! The ball is in! The ball is in! Arsenal equalized with He Xu's personal ability! It couldn't have come at a better time! 1-1, Arsenal drew away to Borussia Dortmund. Relying on He Xu's wonderful shot! It looked as if he didn't have the opportunity and space to finish the shot. But he still made the surprise shot. And with the ball in the back of the net, let's take a look at the defense, oh! An elegant arc, it's so beautiful! ”
Hummels patted his head with some annoyance, but what he regretted more than him was Sven, who had been easily squeezed away by He Xu before. Bender, he really didn't expect that he was caught by the opponent and the gap actually led to the loss of the ball. He looked at the two Chinese in front of him and silently cheered himself up in his heart. Come on, I'll be able to withstand them! There will be no more chances! Chinese!
"There are thirteen minutes left in the first half, both teams have their own attack and defense, but it seems that Arsenal has a greater advantage, Dortmund has been difficult to pose any threat to Arsenal in attack, although they have many attacking players, but the rhythm of the whole game is under Arsenal's control, I think Dortmund's players must be very uncomfortable at this time, few teams can control them to this extent, even their biggest opponent in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich, I don't have such a strong midfield control ability! ”
Even though Borussia Dortmund's running football has become successful under Klopp's tutelage, they are still a little confused when they encounter players who are extremely controlling and give you a burst of players from time to time. Although Arsenal's two wings did not do much, they also attracted full-backs, so that Piszczek and Schmelzer could not press up to assist, and did not dare to return to the middle to help the defense.
In fact, this kind of effect is enough for He Xu and Tang Lintian, and the two of them are enough to make Bend, Subotic and Hummels dizzy.
In fact, He Xu himself didn't expect that when he faced the world's No. 1 central defender later, he would be able to be so relaxed and give what he wanted in front of him. Although Hummels was still immature at this time, He Xu's ability was also one of the important reasons for this situation.
Most of Arsenal's attacks were completed by Tang Lintian, He Xu and Garrincha. Although Garrincha struggled against Dortmund's two strong central defenders, he relied on his flexibility, speed and superior foot skills to help He Xu pull out a lot of space.
When He Xu's second shot was reluctantly knocked into the stands by Weidenfeller, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the players of both teams returned to the locker room with different moods. The cheers of the Dortmund home fans did not seem to stop, and although the team did not have much advantage on the field, there was a love that came from the heart and had nothing to do with all utilitarian factors such as performance and results.
In the dressing room, Arsene Wenger praised his two strikers with emphasis. Garrincha, as the player who stands slightly further down in this forward combination, cannot be measured by scoring or not. His interspersed running between He Xu and Tang Lintian, threading the needle and thread, has already had a good effect.
And Wenger also praised the team's backline, although he conceded a goal, but the responsibility for that goal can't be added to the head of the backline, it can only be said that Aubameyang's pass is too tricky! Of course, Xu Yang's follow-up shot is also an important factor in the accuracy of judging the landing point of the football.
Compared to the tranquility of Arsenal's dressing room, Dortmund's dressing room is completely different. A bearded Klopp was talking about his team's problems, and at the same time, he did not forget to emphasize the point that best highlighted his team's tactical characteristics, "Second half! Second Half Race! I want all of you to be able to run! Only if everyone runs tirelessly can we snatch the opportunity from Arsenal! I also have to admit that the current Arsenal has indeed become stronger! It's not like my old tactics are up to the task! So, we have to make a change now! Everyone has to rely on running to suppress the opponent's pass, and after waiting for the opportunity to break the ball, give the ball to Mario and Marco, and the two of them are responsible for finding opportunities! Oh! By the way, it's okay to give Sven too! Let him disrupt the opponent's rear with a long pass. ”
Wenger looked at his main players and made sure that their bodies were able to hold up and that they were in good shape, before the professor said with great satisfaction, "Okay! I think everyone will be fine! Since there is no problem, then give it to me in the second half! Tell them hard! Arsenal, getting stronger! (To be continued......)
