526 stands on the threshold of a new history
Arsenal's battle song was already ringing from the stands at Highbury, and the fans were rejoicing.
Juventus never let the hearts of Arsenal fans hang in the air from start to finish, and this is perhaps a crucial Champions League game that Arsenal fans enjoy the most.
Although Juventus, which is facing the nine-man game, has a relatively complete defensive system, with two backs and four defenders, and Camoranesi as a full-back, he is only in a tight formation on the card, and it does not mean that Juventus' defense can be compared with the defensive strength in the regular state.
The most crucial thing is that Arsenal only need to keep three or four players in the backline to be able to stifle Juventus' attack.
With Arsenal in complete control of the game, Eboue and Cesc Fabregas were freed.
From the 85th minute of the game, Arsenal launched an indiscriminate bombardment of the Juventus goal, continuing to attack and destroy the Juventus defense and press the opponent's nerves.
"Qin Xiong shoots from a distance! Almost penetrated the Juventus goal again! Buffon has made another contribution, if there is anyone in Juventus who can leave Highbury with his head held high in this game, then only Buffon! ”
In the 89th minute of the game, Eboue crossed the ball from the wing, the quality of his cross was terrible, the football passed directly from the right side to the left side, fortunately Pire was a little impulsive, he did not go inside, but stayed on the side, just in time to receive Eboue's cross on the side.
Juventus' defence was trembling, and as soon as Pire took possession of the ball, Chiellini and Barzaretti pounced, and Pire immediately crossed the ball. Qin Xiong stops the ball in front of the penalty area. Observed Henry's movement. Then he sent a straight stopper.
Henry led Cannavaro and Thuram, but when the ball rolled over, Henry didn't touch the ball, but ran over his head and the ball rolled behind him.
Cannavaro was shocked to see that Henry had consciously missed the ball, because behind Henry there was Cesc Fabregas suddenly cutting forward and going straight into the box!
I don't know if it's Henry's leakage, or Qin Xiong's passing, or the clever passing and running between the two. Together, they created a one-on-one chance for Cesc Fabregas!
Cesc Fabregas, who cut into the box, calmly fired a low shot into the far corner from a tight angle!
The football sticks to the ground and hangs directly in the lower left corner of the goal, Buffon was caught off guard by Fabregas in the switch of defensive targets this time, he also thought that it would be the cooperation between Henry and Qin Xiong, preventing Henry from stopping the ball and shooting, and suddenly transferred to Fabregas, changing the angle, his preparation was not enough, he could only look at the ball and sigh!
The Juventus crowd erupted in deafening cheers as they seemed lost in Highbury, the night sky began to crumble and darkness descended. Devouring the will and body of the Bianconeri!
Three goals behind?!
It's over!
It's all over!
'Arsenal scored the third goal! Third goal! 3:0 lead for Juventus! With two fewer players, Juventus' seemingly tight defence is bound to reveal flaws when they continue to be pressed by attack. Cesc Fabregas caught Juventus off guard with a late insertion, and the young Spanish genius played solid in this game and scored a crucial goal in the final moments of the game, congratulations! Congratulations to Arsenal on their victory in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals! ”
Cesc Fabregas's expression became distorted after the goal, and he was so excited that he seemed to cry with joy.
At this moment, it was as if he had entered the realm of selflessness, and he knew that the third goal would be fatal for Juventus!
It's so hard!
Juventus wants to turn the tables again at home, it's too difficult!
Especially when there are many main players who are unable to play due to suspension.
He killed Juventus!
He helped Arsenal make history!
Yes, it can be sad to say.
If you pass Juventus.
Arsenal will advance to the last four of the Champions League for the first time in their history!
So don't be surprised that Wenger was also a little excited on the sidelines, hugging his assistants and celebrating wildly.
Don't be surprised that there are already fans in the Highbury Stands, shouting hoarse but forgetful shouting for Arsenal!
The game is over.
When the smoke clears, the Arsenal crowd will look unsatisfied.
They played a good game, and it can't be said that there was no difficulty, but at least they didn't feel threatened, and there was no existential crisis.
Capello's Juventus left the field gloomily, and Qin Xiong wanted to talk to Ibrahimovic, but the Swedish striker was the first to leave the field with a bang, and angrily smashed the wall when he walked into the players' tunnel.
Qin Xiong and Henry took off their jerseys and threw them into the stands, giving the game jerseys to the fans as a thank you gift.
After entering the players' tunnel, he was interviewed by reporters in the mixed zone.
Qin Xiong, who opened the scoring for the team in the game and contributed an assist, faced the praise of reporters, and was asked about his outlook for the next leg, he had a smile on his face and said with a smile: "You can't say that Juventus has been eliminated, there are still 90 minutes of play, it is difficult to say that we will forget the huge advantage of leading by three goals, but we should face the next leg with a cautious mentality and firmly grasp our destiny, now we are close to creating a new history for the club, at this time, we have to be calm, Don't get carried away! ”
Thierry Henry and Cesc Fabregas, who scored the goal, also spoke about this in an interview.
Arsenal will need to be calm about this brilliant result.
Henry's words, in particular, sound a little poignant.
'We've had a lot of chances to go further in the Champions League, but we've let the fans, we've disappointed ourselves, too many times, and now we're taking the lead again, we need to learn our lessons, don't rejoice too soon before we get anything!'
Capello was ridiculed by Fleet Street at the post-match press conference, and was also humiliated by Italian journalists from his hometown!
The dignified Serie A champions, in Highbury, actually only had one shot on goal in the match statistics, and they did not create any threat!
In the game, Juventus lost to Arsenal in the contest of technical and tactical level, combat will and mental quality, which made the Serie A champion lose face!
Arsene Wenger was proud after the game, he praised the team's performance in front of the media, and seemed to be overjoyed, saying that Arsenal should win at least 5 today!
The cold-eyed Italian media reporters finally couldn't stand Wenger's complacent posture, and someone threw out a topic that seemed to have become taboo within Arsenal!
"Since Qin Xiong is so important to Arsenal, why hasn't Arsenal renewed Qin Xiong's contract yet? Is it Qin Xiong who wants to leave Arsenal? Or is Arsenal not sincere enough on the issue of contract extension? ”
After hearing this, all Wenger's good mood vanished, and he immediately brushed his sleeves and left. (To be continued......)
