"I didn't foul, I touched the ball, did you see it!"

Mexes saw Larsson pointing to the penalty spot, and his delicate face rushed to the referee angrily, protesting loudly.

"Shhh

"Damn it! How much money did you really charge! ”

"Bastard, that's a good ball!"

“Fanculo！ Fanculo!”

…

Endless boos and invective, the entire Olympia Stadium in Rome was in chaos. The Roma fans grimaced their faces and gestured angrily.

This is their home stadium and now their team has been awarded a penalty here in their home stadium.

Such a situation, how can they accept it. Spalletti walked to the sidelines, kept communicating with the fourth official, and kept diving with both hands, signaling Xiang Hao to fake a fall.

In the 41st minute of the game, Xiang Hao and Van Persie cooperated, and this time it was Van Persie's turn to pass, and Xiang Hao entered the penalty area.

Just when Xiang Hao took a step and could get rid of the Roman defense, Mexes shoveled people behind his back and directly put Xiang Hao to the ground. Larson blew the whistle decisively.

"Take your teammates and leave, Francisco."

Listening to Max's chattering in his ear, with a hideous expression, Larsson was really unhappy in his heart. Called Totti and told him to leave with his teammates.

If he hadn't given him a yellow card, Larsson would have wanted to give him another one.

However, the Spaniard still controlled his mood, and if he gave another one, he should be punished, and it may be difficult to control the scene.

"Alright, let's go."

Although Totti was not in a good mood, he saw that the referee's eyes were already full of warnings, and he didn't want the referee to give him a red card after the death penalty, so he could only pull his teammates away

"Shhh

In the face of boos, Van Persie stood on the penalty spot and won it in one fell swoop.

“GOOOOOOOOOO――OL！！！ Robin? Van Persie! 1-0！ We're ahead of Rome!! ”

Luke's roar resounded over the away stadium, looking so excited, so restless.

"Robin!!

More than 500 Arsenal fans cheered and held up slogans of support at the Olympia Stadium in Rome.

The Roma fans are helpless and resentful on their faces, but they have no choice but to hope that their team can catch up with the score as soon as possible in the second half.

"Toot!"

Two minutes of stoppage time passed and Larsson blew the whistle for the end of the first half. Spalletti returned to the dressing room with a somber gaze, and the Roma players were also uncomfortable and walked back to the players' tunnel.

In contrast, the Arsenal players were much happier, and everyone entered the dressing room with a smile and a smile.

In the knockout round, scoring a goal away from home, such a strong dialogue, this goal is definitely enough to be fatal.

"Pressing, in the second half, you not only have to press in the midfield, but also in the opponent's backfield, and press the formation appropriately.

Julio, Francisco, you two must pay attention to their play at the back, the two central defenders must not make them comfortable, forcing them to pull back in the midfield.

At least the number six. I don't want to see him press up and attack again in the second half! Whatever you do, be sure to contain him. Don't let him succeed! ”

Spalletti no longer has the composure he had outside, and his gloomy face could be wrung out of the water.

Obviously, the Italians were not happy with their team's performance in the first half.

He knows very well that in this game, if his team fails to win the opponent, then when it comes to the away side, then the chances are really slim.

In the second half, his team had to take a gamble. Spalletti was in the dressing room with the signal that the whole line was pressed.

Arsene Wenger also knew that the opponent had lost a goal in the half, and it was at home, so he made a rare set-up in the dressing room.

"In the second half, you have to be careful to protect your back and not press too hard.

Hao, Denilson, you must pay attention to the position of the two central defenders at all times, and don't let them play together here. ”

Arsene Wenger's midfield arrangement is just one word - 'keep'.

This is hard to see in Arsene Wenger's coaching philosophy in the past. It was also in the Champions League, with the rules of away goal elimination, that Wenger had the flexibility.

As Arsene Wenger thought, at the start of the second half, the Roma players carried out their manager's intention - to grab.

Whether it's Baptista or Totti, or De Rossi in midfield or Mex, they will come up and interfere with you whenever they have the chance.

They don't want to be able to get the ball every time, but it's a must to interfere with Arsenal's rhythm of the ball.

As long as Arsenal's attack can't be played, they have enough energy to 'flip' the attack and create a wave of attacks in the opposition half.

And Roma's pressing in the second half did have an effect, because of this pressing, Arsenal's pass in the midfield is difficult to ensure smoothness.

The opponent was like a hungry wolf, grabbing it again and again, and Nasri and Denilson became the main targets of the Roma players.

After the 'test' of the first half, they knew that Xiang Hao was not easy to deal with, and few people could afford to compare their bodies with Xiang Hao.

Eboue is not easy either, the African body is as big as an iron block.

For this reason, the Roma players also learned to be smart, that is, to grab Xiang Hao's ball point and physically fight against the relatively weak Arsenal two midfielders.

Sure enough, this tactic worked. Arsenal lost two midfield transitions and struggled to get the ball into the opposition half.

The initiative on the field was quickly seized by the Roma team, and the scenes of the Roma team's steals and counterattacks continued to appear in the first seven minutes of the second half. Arsenal are in crisis.

In the 47th minute of the game, Pedetta passed, Mexes broke into the Arsenal penalty area, and the left side shot wide.

In the fiftieth minute, De Rossi's cross from the right side of the penalty area was hooked by Toure in front of him before Baptista tried to shoot, and the unguarded Totti shot from 10 yards, and the ball grazed the crossbar.

One minute later, Riser stole Sagna's cross from the left and unfortunately failed to connect with Totti, who had left the post vacant, and Roma missed a great chance to equalise.

At this moment, Arsenal's half is definitely in the wind, Arsenal's midfield is excessively uncomfortable, and the direct defensive pressure falls into the midfield.

Xiang Hao also lost the space to move up and down freely in the first half, and was busy making up for his teammates to defend.
