523 Old-fashioned Juventus
When Qin Xiong sent the football into the door of Juventus in the third minute of the opening game, all the spectators in the Highbury stands were in shock.
Arsenal fans are naturally ecstatic.
Juventus fans are a little jaw-dropping!
"The ball is in! The ball is in! Qin Xiong opens the scoring for Arsenal! It can be seen that Arsenal adheres to the usual style, the offensive speed is very fast, and the passing and cutting cooperation catches the opponent off guard! Did Juventus not wake up? Or are you making the same mistake as Real Madrid?
Their running tempo was clearly destroyed by Arsenal's lightning-fast onslaught.
There were problems in every link, starting after Mutu was cut off by Eboue, and as Ebouee advanced, Arsenal's attack increased this speed with every successive response!
Qin Xiong's pass, Pire's through ball, Ljungberg's cross, Henry's shot!
Four passes up front resulted in a shot.
Gianluigi Buffon saved Juventus' goal once, but he couldn't stop Qin Xiong's shot after calmly shaking off Emerson from outside the box.
Let's cheer for Qin Xiong with the Arsenal fans!
There is no doubt that when Henry is about to reach the 'advanced age' of 29 years old, Qin Xiong has become the best candidate for the next king of Highbury, and the prince of Highbury has once again become a hero in a crucial game! He is leading Arsenal further down the Champions League! ”
Arsene Wenger swung his fist the sidelines, and the professor was very proud of his tactical arrangement.
In addition to further activating Qin Xiong this season, shaping him from an attacking midfielder to a number nine and a half, there is also a blitz plan for Juventus in this game.
Juventus are too stable!
If you let Juventus get into the game. And then try to get over their defenses. It's going to be a very difficult task.
What are the advantages of home field?
The location is favorable and the people are good.
In a venue and atmosphere that is unfamiliar to the opponent. You have to get into the game first and catch your opponent off guard!
Arsenal did it!
Qin Xiong, Henry, and Piret ran to the sidelines to skeele to celebrate, and after the three stood up, Qin Xiong was hugged by Henry and Pire's shoulders left and right, and the three of them roared passionately towards the stands and waved their right fists!
Arsenal may have thought that the game would get better after scoring goals, at least Juventus would take the initiative to attack and give them more chances to score.
But that's not the case.
After the restart. Juventus continued to be conservative as if they hadn't conceded a goal.
God knows what Capello was thinking, Juventus looked like football was running steadily at the back, and football was isolated up front.
Arsenal's plan fell through.
After the blitz success, they didn't get a better chance to counter-attack.
But the new situation is not bad.
Juventus didn't have a decent attack at all, and Lehmann was almost caught cold on the goal-line by the cold winds of the night.
In this way, through the successful encirclement of the central midfield, Arsenal can still get many attacking opportunities, but each time it is just to break the opponent's position and defend.
Unlike the Premier League, which focuses on close pressing, I can't wait for the defenders to stick to the attacking players like a dogskin. Italy's defense is about frontal and combined defence.
It is precisely because of such defensive characteristics that Arsenal can make the most of possession.
Arsenal's players, in particular, are faster. Juventus look old-fashioned.
In one-on-one or one-on-two situations, Arsenal's attacking group players dare to make breakthrough moves, outpace and speed opponents, as long as the breakthrough can wipe the opponent, can open the attacking breakthrough from the part.
In the 21st minute of the game, Qin Xiong crossed in front of Emerson and Pire to do mutual passing, he rushed forward from Emerson's side after passing, obviously felt that Emerson was slower than Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong then responded to Pire's pass and pulled the ball back at his feet, and at the same time that Emerson also braked sharply, he started the horizontal dribbling from in front of Emerson, and before Vieira came to intercept laterally, Qin Xiong hit the door with a heavy shot!
The quality of the shot was extremely high, heading straight for the top right corner of the net, where Buffon made a world-class save to keep the ball out of the line with one palm.
"Buffon made a brilliant save! If it had been a little later, it would have been a goal through the Juventus goal! ”
Qin Xiong was very excited, and he didn't feel too much disappointment.
Just after defeating Casillas, he is going to challenge Buffon again.
Oh my God, how many of the active players have such an opportunity?
Juventus' attack is still half-dead.
Their attacks were often stopped by Arsenal's combined defences up front, and it was surprising to be familiar with the fast-paced Arsenal defensive system in the Premier League!
Is this Juventus?
Is it the opponent who was hyped up as a strong opponent before the game?
I don't feel the pressure!
Fortunately, Real Madrid also has one or two superstars who rely on their individual ability to give the defense a lot of headaches and let dangerous things happen in front of goal.
Juventus, they didn't even have a decent shot on goal!
On the contrary, Arsenal relied on fast and fluid passing and cutting to create shooting opportunities in attack.
In the 29th minute of the game, Qin Xiong made a tacit cooperation with Pire on the left side, Pire cut into the penalty area to cover, Qin Xiong dragged on and suddenly crossed, and the football spun around the defenders Thuram and Cannavaro behind him, and was hit by Ljungberg's header that rushed into the penalty area at the back point!
It's a pity that Ljungberg's shot in front of goal this season feels like it's slipped too much, and his header flew straight into the stands, otherwise it would have been a beautiful goal!
"Ljungberg missed a chance to nod the ball back, it can be seen that Buffon's position just now is not good, he can't move to the back point to block the near post at the first time, Ljungberg only needs to push the ball to the back of the goal, this goal will go in, but unfortunately he missed!"
Wenger covered his face on the sidelines to express his helplessness, not to mention love and hate Ljungberg, but a peak duel, missing an opportunity, may really be a moment of regret for life!
Capello was a little stunned, Arsenal were even better than he thought!
Juventus' defenders are also a bit helpless, they can't defend Arsenal at all, and they have to make more defensive efforts to turn the tide.
But how to try?
Only fouls!
From this moment on, Juventus not only attacked very weakly, but also began to foul frequently in defense, only fouls can make the game change from dynamic to static, so that the aging Juventus have time to slow down and rearrange the defense.
Soon Juventus players began to receive yellow cards, and the scene that happened in the 35th minute of the game may have been unexpected by all Arsenal fans! (To be continued......)
