Chapter Eighty-Five: This Feeling Is Depressing!
Chapter Eighty-Five: This Feeling Is Very Depressing!
The game restarted, Leeds United kicked off again, Zach Thompson once again looked at Tevez and Ameobi in the middle circle, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while, only two or three minutes ago, they had just kicked off once, and now they were about to kick off again.
"Smack!"
Tevez kicked the ball at Ameobi's feet, turned around and rushed forward, his face becoming a little hideous, and "The Beast" didn't like the feeling of consecutive kick-offs.
In this game, Tevez still got the help of Zach Thompson's teammate, and his speed and explosiveness once again reached the peak of full value, although he was scored by the "Gunners" who fought at home without even having a chance to touch the ball, but Tevez is still the "beast", and he is still the most dangerous person in the Leeds United team.
As Tevez raced up front, he saw that the ball had been moved to the back of his team, and Ben Parker was handing it to Jonny Hausen in front of him...... Leeds United's attack is about to begin!
When the "Young Guards" was training, the "Leeds Three Musketeers" had a special left-side offensive system, Simon Grayson tailored a set of left-sided offensive system for his three proud protégés, Leeds United's goal statistics, the offensive success rate on the left side was much higher than that on the right, not only because of the personal ability of Zach Thompson, Jonny Hausen, Ben Parker, but also because the offensive routine on the left side of Leeds United has really formed a system. The three sworn friends with tacit understanding can completely diversify their offensive routines according to the different forms of the game.
Jonny Hausen didn't rush to break through Sagna in front of him after getting the ball, nor did he pass the ball directly to the "big black" in front, Laurent Kescherini was already close to Ameobi, and even if he passed the ball, he couldn't pose a threat at all.
"Smack!"
The ball was passed back to Zach Thompson, who himself pressed forward another five metres, and Zach Thompson also ran two steps diagonally before splitting the ball to the left wing, only this time it was Ben Parker who received the ball.
Ben Parker took two steps forward with the ball and made a breakaway before Sagna had to leave Jonny Hausen off the ball to defend him, and then Ben Parker made a quick stop and handed the ball to Jonny Hausen in front.
After the Leeds captain took control of the ball, Sagna quickly turned back to chase after him, but Jonny Hausen passed the ball back to Zach Thompson.
The ball then looped through the feet of the three men, and when the ball passed Ben Parker and back to Jonny Hausen, Leeds United's attack on the left was also pressed up front.
This time, Jonny Howson didn't pass the ball back, but turned and passed the ball to Ameobi in front of him, and at the same time, Zach Thompson also rushed forward quickly in the middle and ran behind Ameobi into the Arsenal penalty area.
"Smack!"
After Ameobi stopped the ball, he used his body to protect the ball, and the moment Song returned, he passed the ball to Song's side.
The Leeds captain had already run sideways into the position by this time, while Sagna was pinned down by Ben Parker's press, and the result was ............
"Smack, smack!"
Jonny Hausen took two steps sideways with the ball and when he was out of the air and everyone thought he was going to shoot from the left side of the Arsenal penalty area, he suddenly tucked the ball sideways into the top of the box.
The "beast" Tevez, who had previously withdrawn backwards from the opponent's big penalty area, appeared at this time!
Leeds United's mission of the Leeds Three on the left was done in an instant, they had managed to create some gaps and get the ball to Tevez's feet, and then it was up to the Argentines to put on a show.
After Tevez's speed and explosiveness are boosted, his sudden activation ability is already very perverted.
Vermaelen, who is responsible for defending Tevez, is already a very good centre-back, and at the age of 26, he has played 50 games for the Belgian national team, has accumulated enough experience and is still very young, and at this time Vermaelen is definitely entering the prime of his career.
But even so, when facing the "beast", Vermaelen only relaxed a little and gave the opponent a chance!
"Smack!"
Tevez, who ran up against the ball diagonally, stabbed the ball into the Arsenal team's big penalty area with a direct kick, and the short body rushed up with an acceleration, with a low center of gravity and strong explosive power, so that the "beast" really had a murderous aura that suddenly pounced when he saw his prey.
"Shit!"
Vermaelen cursed, gritted his teeth and turned to stick to it, keeping his eyes on Tevez's feet as he ran, all he could do at this point was to keep up with his opponent's footsteps as much as possible, find the rhythm of his opponent's kick-to-shoot, and then use that momentary buffer to complete the block.
Standing in front of the Arsenal goal, the young Polish goalkeeper Szczesny, his reflexes and speed are quite not weak, although he has no rich experience, but he seems to be born with a sense of courage and determination, and when he saw Tevez rushing out of the crowd, he also abandoned the goal and ran out in an instant.
Tevez, who was still dribbling the ball, had a keen instinct, and at this moment he could feel that he was surrounded, and Vermaelen was waiting for him to kick the ball into the far corner of the goal on the right, while Szczesny blocked the near corner, and after rushing into the Arsenal penalty area five meters, he could no longer run forward with the ball, otherwise the angle would be smaller, and now he could only ...... Shot!
"Smack!"
Tevez was smart not to finish with his left foot on the run, as that would have slowed down and Vermaelen would have had a better chance of blocking the shot, so he poked the ball out on tiptoe with his right foot on the run.
"Whoosh!"
The ball didn't fly to the far corner, but to the ground and flew to Szczesny's crotch!
Tevez shoots...... Crotch ...... Szczesny! Szczesny blocked! ”
Tevez's shot was sudden, but the Polish teenager Szczesny performed even better, his center of gravity sank downward, and as soon as his body twisted, he used his left inner thigh to block the ball!
Vermaelen, who had already blocked the shot, quickly ran to the ball, turned and kicked the ball towards the front of the court with a big kick...... This dangerous attack by Leeds United is over!
"Oh, that's dangerous! Szczesny's save was spectacular! No wonder he was able to press the team's original No. 2 goalkeeper Italian Vito Mannone on the bench when Fabianski was injured, and this performance was enough to compete with Fabianski for the position of the main goalkeeper! ”
After seeing Szczesny's miraculous performance, "Professor" Wenger had a smile on his face, Szczesny has only conceded two goals in eight league games for Arsenal this season, which also reassures the Frenchman who was worried about the goalkeeper position, Fabianski underwent surgery to treat his knee in the summer, and has not yet recovered from injury, and may even need another operation, but after Szczesny's sudden rise, it doesn't matter.
Leeds United's failure to score in this attack left Simon Grayson in the grip of the ball, and when he saw Tevez cut in with the ball, he was ready to raise his arms and shout, and Tevez's calm stab was the best way to deal with it at the time, but it was a pity...... It's a pity!
Although the goal was not scored, the morale of Leeds United who had just suffered a blow was restored, and it turned out that they were still capable of scoring the Gunners' goal at the Emirates Stadium, and the game has just begun, and they still have a chance!
But no one expected that Tevez's stab would become Leeds United's most threatening shot in the first 45 minutes of the game.
After narrowly missing the equaliser by Leeds United, Arsenal's players played more carefully, with Song moving back a bit and connecting more closely with the back line, and even Mikel Arteta and Ayew in front of him always had only one person up to help the team's attack, and Arsenal at home played a tactic similar to "defensive counter-attack".
Originally, Leeds United's offensive routine was almost touched by the "professor", coupled with Arsenal's conscious contraction, Leeds United got fewer offensive opportunities.
What made the "Young Guards" even more depressed was that in the 16th minute of the game, Bentley injured his shoulder in a collision with Layton Bynes, and Simon Grayson had to replace Bentley with Snodgrass, which also made Leeds United's attack even weaker, the Scotsman's individual ability is no worse than Bentley, and even has an advantage in physical condition, but he does not have Bentley's lethal passing ability, Simon Grayson always uses Bentley because of this.
Without Bentley, Leeds United's attacking threat down the right flank dropped by half, and when the team needed goals the most, Zach Thompson began to put more energy into attacking.
On 24 minutes, Zach Thompson curled a long-range shot into the front of goal, and Szczesny was solid enough to get the ball back.
At 38 minutes, Zach Thompson, Tevez and Ameobi teamed up to contain the entire defense system of the Arsenal team, but Tevez finally passed the Shaolin abbot after 80.
In addition to those three shots, Leeds only managed to head in from a corner by Zach Thompson on 44 minutes, only to be headed over by Arsenal left-back Leighton Bynes.
In the full 45 minutes of the first half, Leeds United managed to complete only four shots, while Arsenal took advantage of Zach Thompson's forward attack to launch frequent counter-attacks, Ayew and one man had as many as five shots, Arteta also had two shots and one goal, Chamak also had one shot, and Song and Layton Bynes each had one shot.
At the end of the first half, Arsenal had a staggering 10:4 ratio of shots to Leeds United, and Arsenal at home had the absolute advantage.
When the "Young Guards" walked off the field, they all had a black face, they didn't count behind by one goal, they couldn't even attack, they were facing Arsenal, even if Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, which teams that value defense very much, don't have such strong defensive ability, right?
This feeling of clenching your fists but not being able to hit them is as if you have been restrained by someone with an iron chain, which is so depressing!
