Chapter 148: To add insult to injury
Chapter 148 to add insult to injury
However, just when Crystal Palace was planning to play steadily and maintain the balance of power on the field first, they were unlucky today, but in less than 10 minutes of the first half, they suffered a second and almost fatal blow.
The footage of the first few rounds of Premier League matches of Crystal Palace this season has long been studied by other teams, and other teams know how strong their defensive ability is, not to mention assists.
Therefore, in this game, as soon as they started with a feint of attacking the left side twice, Arsenal put all their focus on their left side, the right side of Crystal Palace.
In this game, their second goal was also initiated from this side.
After a series of strikes up front, Arsenal were led by their goal-scorer Robin van Persie to break through Richardson from the left and get to the edge of the line.
But perhaps the general was too careless after passing people, or underestimating Richardson's ability, and after passing, he was too slow to find the contact point in the penalty area, so that Van Persie missed the best time to pass.
No, just when Van Persie was looking for a good receiving point and was about to pass the ball, Richardson performed very well on the flank, and blocked the general's cross with his legs.
A threatening cross was now only exchanged for a corner, and Van Persie reached out to Adebayor in the middle of the box in frustration after seeing the ball blocked by Richardson, signaling that the ball was his responsibility.
Van Persie, who took the ball from the ball boy on the sidelines and was eager to atone for his crimes, ran towards the corner with the ball in his arms. Even if Arsenal's corners are usually not taken by him.
Put the ball safely at the corner kick point, this time, without any interference from the general, it was not hesitant to give the Crystal Palace penalty area, the position of the players on both sides, admired a wait until the referee on duty Webber blew the whistle for the second time, and finally remembered that he should play a corner kick Van Persie, then hurriedly ran away, and then drove the ball out.
It's a pity, not to mention that Van Persie doesn't usually play corner kicks, and I don't know what kind of strength to use, so let's just say that this time it's okay, because of the distraction that shouldn't have been done before, Van Persie, this time in the rush of Weber's whistle, kicked the ball out. Therefore, if you want to demand the accuracy of the general's corner kick here, it is really difficult to make it a little difficult.
No, witnessing the ball sliding high in front of the goal, even Diego López, who has always been unsmiling, almost didn't laugh out loud.
It's just that I don't know if Arsenal should win today, the general's corner kick that was obviously kicked by mistake, after flying so high over the crowd in the middle of the penalty area, it was a coincidence that it went to the feet of Walcott, who had been staying on the side!
The arch of the foot was gently unloaded, and Van Persie's pass, and called the passing of the incoming ball stopped, Walcott did not make the same mistake as Van Persie before, taking advantage of the Crystal Palace penalty area when the players on both sides failed to react, Walcott did not bother with who to wear the ball to, did not aim, directly kicked up, Walcott with a low flat ball attitude, once again sent the ball into the Crystal Palace penalty area!
And Walcott's sweeping pass is much more threatening than Van Persie's pass.
This kind of ball, as any experienced fan knows, is what defenders and goalkeepers fear the most. This kind of cross that does not pursue who to find, only pursues strength, but if the defender is not careful, and changes the direction of the ball in the middle, it is very likely to cause an own goal, not to mention, in the middle, there are so many Arsenal players who are eyeing each other.
"Click!" This time, Arsenal continued their previous luck, Walcott's cross, after flying into the Crystal Palace penalty area, was over the hill and very accurate, and went to Arsenal's right wing-back Sagna.
And with such a close distance, such a good opportunity, although Sagna is only a defender, no one can press out his restless heart!
Obviously it can be ejected directly, but there are no Crystal Palace defenders around 2 meters anyway, in order to play more beautifully, Sagna is like a performance, jumping up lightly from the spot, and then, put his right foot behind him, deliberately waiting for the ball to go to a little behind his body, and then use his heel to block the ball in the direction of the Crystal Palace goal!
This ball, if Sagna uses this juggling method to score it, it is indeed beautiful! It is very likely to be in the top 100 goals of the year. However, before making this choice, Sagna seemed to have forgotten a very important fact, and that is that he is a defender!
Well, the consequence of him forgetting this fact is that Walcott's cross is just a low flat ball, and even if he wants to break the goal with his heel, it will be absolutely forced, and he can't jump! The consequence of his jump was that he missed the opportunity very regrettably, and leaked the ball from under his body.
It's just that today is destined to be a lucky day for Arsenal, if it is said that when playing Liverpool, the defense of Crystal Palace played the trio of cheats, this time, Arsenal was very lucky and played a quartet of luck.
First, Van Persie's missed corner happened to fall to Walcott, who was not very aggressive and ran to the feet of Walcott, who was lounging near the touchline.
Second, in the middle of the penalty area, the crowd is very dense, Walcott's powerful sweeping pass asked him to be interviewed after the game, and he never dared to talk nonsense before he passed, it was according to Sagna's pass.
Next, there's the point. Just after Sagna Zhang Fei embroidered and made a flower job, but failed, the ball that leaked from under Sagna's body still did not enter the control of the Crystal Palace defenders, but went to the feet of the Arsenal central defender, Senderos, who had been standing in place and had not moved.
Mistakes have their own teammates wiping their butts, and it's an out-and-out trio.
In the end, Senderos faced the incoming ball, and he had always been simple, so it was naturally impossible for him to learn from Sagna's 2 goods and shoot with what heel. Honestly pushing the ball, Senderos used the arch of his foot to push the ball through the middle of the goal.
"Bump!" Arsenal had a series of mistakes in the penalty area before, and Diego Lopez's whole heart made the Arsenal players angry, and he was not afraid of jokes to say that Lopes actually didn't have much hope of saving this ball. After all, Sendros who shot the goal is too close to the goal, and this distance, as long as the ball does not hit the goalkeeper on its own, it is impossible to create a miracle no matter who comes to him.
But what Diego López never dreamed of, and didn't know if God really heard his call, and took care of his only fantasy, this time, when he was almost about to surrender the gun, Senderos actually cooperated and shot the ball into the middle of the road where he was. And, it should be because he is a defender, for shooting skills, there is really no spectrum, Senderos's shot, not only the direction is very positive, not to mention, in terms of strength, it also seems soft! This kind of ball, 100, 101 López dare to save a big package!
However, in the end, the development of things was not fully estimated by López. López, who made this judgment now, it was obvious that he was happy too early......
