Chapter 158: Equalizer!

Arsenal fell behind in the first half of the game, which was a huge blow to the Gunners; Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger also started his reminiscences, hoping to give his players more motivation and confidence. It looks good now, although the first half repeatedly missed good chances, although Barcelona broke the goal, but the Gunners have made changes in midfield, they quickly returned to the rhythm of the game, only to be down by one goal, and they believe that in the second half of the game the team can bounce back strongly, and they will come back to win this game.

In the second half, Arsenal quickly entered the rhythm of the game and began to attack frantically; In the 48th minute, Walcott and Cesc Fabregas kicked the wall in front of the field and passed the ball together, and Xiao Qing's low shot from the edge of the penalty area was confiscated by Valdés. In the 53rd minute, Barcelona smashed Zuihou in succession and was crossed by Pedro, Xavi tried a long-range shot from the outside, which was high and wide. In the 55th minute, Sergio Busquets was cut off by Cesc Fabregas and Walcott met in a cross that Van Persie fired high from the edge of the box.

Although Arsenal are repeatedly squandering opportunities, they have a better ability to create opportunities; For Arsenal, they are certainly not worried about the ability of the team's strikers to create and take chances, and they believe that once the team continues to maintain such a high-intensity attack, it is normal for Barcelona's goal to be breached.

Arsenal continue to threaten in attack as they continue to step up their attack; Arsenal had a good comeback at the start of the second half, creating good chances and threatening the Barca goal. Now Arsenal need to keep up the good work. They need to put more defensive pressure on Barca. They need to further suppress Barca's performance in the game. As long as they can continue to suppress Barcelona in attack. Then this game may be in Arsenal's favor.

In the 59th minute of the game, Pique was yellow carded for tackling Cesc Fabregas in front of the penalty area, and began to kick his friends, and it is obvious that the current Barcelona defense is under too much pressure.

In the 62nd minute, Nasri crossed low from the left, and Van Persie hit Pique with a tackle in front of the line. Arsenal then counter-attacked with a low left-footed shot from Robin van Persie that did not stump goalkeeper Valdés. In the 67th minute, Iniesta went straight into the penalty area on the left side of the field. Messi fired a left-footed shot into the side netting from the corner of the six-yard box.

Arsenal's performance is getting better and better, they are now completely suppressing Barcelona, and they are now more in control of this game; This is a godsend for Arsenal and they need to take advantage of it more at this time.

Pep Guardiola removed goal-scorer Villa for defensive Keita, while Arsene Wenger brought on Arshavin for Alexander Song to strengthen the attack.

Obviously, Barcelona are now frightened by Arsenal's attack, and now they are leading the scoreline, and it is acceptable for Barcelona to be conservative even now, as long as they can get the Zuihou Big Ears Cup, then everything is worth it. For Arsenal, there is no choice now, they need to step up their attack. They need to get on the scoresheet.

With great confidence, the Arsenal players launched a frantic siege of Barcelona's goal. The Arsenal players believe in their attacking prowess and they believe that the winner of this game will only be Arsenal!

Arsenal's defensive ability is average, they have been breached by Barcelona; However, Arsenal's attack was also excellent, and they had chances to try for a goal in the second half.

Arsenal has no international defensive ability, and disdains to survive with turtle formations, attacking against attacking, Arsenal is the proudest, they chose to start an offensive battle with Barcelona against Mars and Earth, Arsenal chose their proud attack. Arsenal are not afraid of Barcelona's attack, and Arsenal believe in their attacking ability.

On the wing, Arsenal has Theo Walcott, the fastest winger in the Champions League, and playing well on the right side is the key to Arsenal's victory.

Barcelona's left gate happens to be the weakest link, the team has shijie-level players in all positions, but the left gate is the most dim, Abidal and Maxwell are first-class players, but they can't be compared with other positions.

Arsenal should pay more attention to the breakthrough on the wing, and Van Persie and Xiao Qing, who are high in the middle, have a height advantage to respond to the style of play. Barcelona's left gate is mostly the trigger for the attack, pressing up front to receive the pass in the middle, changing the direction of the attack for his teammates to act as a station, and participating in the attack is far less than Alves, who is not as good as the right gate. At Walcott's pace, it is not difficult to imagine the way to attack the space behind Barcelona's left gate.

Arsenal launched a counter-attack in the second half, and the players were not in a hurry, insisting on ground cooperation to open up open spaces and look for opportunities. Barcelona, by contrast, were somewhat conservative, trying to stabilize the situation with their feet in possession.

Xiao Qing has now started to attack, and the effect is also very good; Putting Van Persie in the penalty area as a central striker, Xiao Qing, who has retreated from the position, is not only able to connect more to the midfield, but he is also able to have more options in attack. Coupled with the fact that Arsenal have replaced a talented player in attack like Arshavin, Arsenal now naturally have more confidence in attack, they now have absolute strength in attack, and they should be able to attack more in the game now.

In the seventy-third minute of the game, Cesc Fabregas and Xiao Qing hit the wall with two in front; After receiving another split from Xiaofa, Xiao Qing suddenly interjected, and was destroyed by Abidal's tackle when Xiao Qing stepped into the penalty area to shoot. Xiao Qing clapped his hands, although he was a little regretful, but Xiao Qing didn't care, next time Xiao Qing would continue to attack, Xiao Qing believed that Barcelona could not always defend himself like this.

In the seventy-eighth minute of the game, Arsenal equalized, which was Xiao Qing's outstanding performance and a comfortable revenge for Xiao Qing; not only helped the team equalize the score and recover the disadvantage, but also taught his old enemy Busquets a big lesson in this attack.

Arshavin knocked the ball back to Klich on the left, and Klich played a straight pass into the box; Xiao Qing, who followed up in the middle, suddenly raised his foot to shoot, and the Barcelona defender Busquets subconsciously slid the tackle; Xiao Qing raised his ankle slightly, and the ball flew past Busquets, and when Busquets' body rushed against the grass, Xiao Qing also jumped hard, that is, directly from Busquets's body!

Xiao Qing quickly chased the ball, although the left foot bounced off almost no angle, and Barcelona goalkeeper Valdés failed to block the angle and leaked the ball in. Xiao Qing broke Barcelona's goal in one go, and now it's 1 to 1!

Wembley Stadium was in a frenzy and the Arsenal fans erupted in frantic cheers; After all, this is in London, and Arsenal fans still have a certain landlord advantage, and Arsenal fans at Wembley Stadium naturally have a slight advantage in numbers. The enthusiasm of Arsenal fans has been fully unleashed, and Arsenal have now equalised, which also means that the Gunners are now not left behind, they are now back on the same page as Barcelona, and Arsenal are now fully competitive for the Champions League title.

After the goal, Xiao Qing rushed to the sideline excitedly, Xiao Qing is very happy now, he is proud of his goal; Xiao Qing believes that with such a goal, it will also make the Arsenal players more confident, and they will be more confident that they will be the victors at Wembley Stadium.

"Hey, boss!" Xiao Qing, who rushed to the sidelines, hugged Wenger excitedly and shouted, "You guessed right, we will score in the second half, and we can seize the opportunity to score when we are one goal behind." Old guy, you lost the Champions League final at the Stade de France, but at Wembley you're going to be even prouder of the title! ”

Arsene Wenger is also very excited, to say that he is not nervous when he is down by a goal must be false; Especially when the opponent is Barcelona, especially now that it is the stage of the Champions League final, as long as they fall behind in the score, this is a huge pressure on the players, which is the biggest bad news for Arsenal. And now Arsenal have equalised, not only to equalize the disadvantage in the scoreline, but more importantly, now Arsenal must be demoralized, they will be more confident now, they will definitely have this more aggressiveness in the next games.

Xiao Qing and his teammates ended the celebration unsatisfied, and the Barcelona players protested that Arsenal's celebration was too long; The goal was a big blow to Barcelona, whose defence was completely torn apart by Arsenal, who felt a mortal threat to Barcelona with their attack.

Xiao Qing and his teammates were not satisfied with the equaliser either, they hope to be able to build on the next games, and they hope to be able to go one step further in the game; Arsenal are going for the title, a 1-1 draw is not Arsenal's pursuit, what they need is to beat Barcelona, they need more goals to beat Barcelona completely. So now Arsenal still need to continue to work hard, and they still need to work harder for the time being to win Zuihou.

Xiao Qing is of course full of confidence, and the morale of Arsenal's players is also high; Since they can tear apart Barcelona's defense once, they can also tear apart a second time. Arsenal still need to work hard again, they need to break out again at this time!

Playing with confidence and momentum, Arsenal don't have to worry about anything at all, they are the leaders now because their morale is even higher! (To be continued......)
