Chapter 351: An opportunity that is just around the corner
Juan Marta kicks the far corner!
The ball clings to the turf and is as fast as it is flying on the grass.
In front of the goal, Handanovic was shocked, he immediately fell to the ground and pounced, hit with one palm, and went straight to the football.
Syllable!
Handanovic's one-handed slap hit the ball with a clear sound.
Handanovic was overjoyed, and this time he pounced, he really save.
"Pounced! Handanovic ...... "Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray suddenly roared loudly, and the Arsenal fans were delighted.
However, the next moment the smiles on the faces of all the Arsenal fans froze on their faces.
Handanovic had done his best, he touched the football, but only with his fingertips, the football only changed direction slightly, and did not change the general trend towards the goal.
Clang!
There was a steel thud and the ball hit the inside of the far post in the far corner of the Arsenal goal and bounced into the goal.
"Ball in, ball in, ball in!" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray shouted loudly.
"Juan Marta! It was Juan Marta who scored and we scored for Chelsea. The pro-Chelsea media commentator roared with excitement as if he had scored himself, and almost jumped up and celebrated.
The entire Stamford Bridge stadium exploded in that moment, and all the Chelsea fans roared and cheered with excitement.
Chelsea fans immediately shouted excitedly: "Chelsea! Great Chelsea! Juan! Great San Juan! ”
The Chelsea fans were excited, while the Arsenal fans were bleeding in their hearts. How can you concede a goal so easily? This is unacceptable.
On the sidelines, Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger was also frowning.
Chelsea's attack was very simple, but it was a very serious problem, and the Arsenal defenders were a little distracted.
Arsène Wenger immediately came to the sidelines and loudly reminded the Arsenal players: "Attention! Cheer up and attack! Offensive! Offensive! ”
The Arsenal players immediately turned their heads to look at Arsène Wenger and nodded in understanding.
In the 19th minute of the first half, Arsenal were 1-0 down.
As soon as the game resumed, the Arsenal team launched a ferocious attack.
Arsenal's attack was ferocious but not messy and not aggressive. The mentality of the Arsenal players does not seem to have changed much, and they are still playing according to the previous tactical arrangement.
Arsenal midfielders Arturo Vidal and Mikel Arteta swapped possession back and forth, exchanging roles for playmakers.
The Chelsea players are a bit tired of defending and the pressure is mounting.
After Chelsea had scored a goal, they opted for recovery and began their nearest point of playing the bus.
The Chelsea players retreated almost entirely to their own half of the pitch.
Chelsea's half looked very crowded, and Arsenal's attack seemed to be unable to penetrate Chelsea's thick defence.
At this time, Arsenal had no way to die, and since it was difficult for short passes to penetrate into the heart of Chelsea's defence, Arsenal stepped up their long-range shots from outside the box.
There are still a few long-range shooters in the Arsenal team, such as Dongfang Chen, Vidal, etc., especially Dongfang Chen, his famous work is super long-range shooting.
The Arsenal team immediately stepped up the long-range shot, and Dongfang Chen immediately withdrew from the Chelsea team's penalty area and moved near the Chelsea team's big penalty area.
At this time, Chelsea's centre-back John Terry did not follow, and he continued to guard the Chelsea penalty area. And Dongfang Chen's bodyguard has changed to a different person, and now it has been replaced by Mikel.
Mikel is tall and not bad, and he came up to defend Dongfang Chen.
Compared to Terry, Mikel's defense is too immature and inexperienced.
Dongfang Chen should not have much of a problem facing Mikel.
Sure enough, soon Mikel couldn't parry, and Dongfang Chen completely ignored him.
Dongfang Chen leaned directly on Mikel with his back and caught the pass from midfielder Arteta. He squeezed back with his strong body, and Mikel was immediately bounced away.
Dongfang Chen immediately seized the opportunity, quickly pulled the ball and turned around, and faced the Chelsea goal head-on.
Mikel saw Dongfang Chen turn around, he immediately pounced and came up to guard against Dongfang Chen.
How could Dongfang Chen let him get his wish?
Dongfang Chen's upper body suddenly flashed to the left side of his body, but the outside of his right foot flicked the football to the right.
Mikel stared at Dongfang Chen's upper body, thinking that Dongfang Chen was going to break through to the left, he immediately moved sideways.
But at the moment when Mikel moved sideways, Dongfang Chen's body suddenly pulled back, flashed to the right side rapidly, and a Matthews step easily passed Mikel.
Mikel was shaken by Dongfang Chen like this, he didn't have time to pull his body back, he was broken through by Dongfang Chen so lightly.
After passing Mikel, Dongfang Chen did not continue to advance, but suddenly pulled out his legs and shot angrily.
"Dongfang Chen shoots from a distance!" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray suddenly exclaimed, he didn't expect Dongfang Chen to suddenly shoot from a distance.
Dongfang Chen's long-range shot was really too sudden, there was no warning at all, no one thought that Dongfang Chen suddenly took a long-range shot.
Dongfang Chen's long-range shot is so hidden, his swing leg has a small arc, and the speed of swinging his leg is very fast, extremely hidden. What's more important is that Dongfang Chen's power is still sufficient, and the football shot out is full of power.
It's hard to do, and it's really rare to do that in today's world football. This is also one of the reasons why Dongfang Chen's long-range shot will be so easy to score.
With a bang, the ball flew out like a cannonball.
It took a moment for the ball to fly before Petr Cech in front of goal reacted, taking a step sideways and then flying sideways.
All the Chelsea fans at the scene were also surprised, they didn't expect Dongfang Chen to suddenly shoot from a distance, and even some people didn't see how Dongfang Chen shot from a distance.
The ball was fast, and Cech was terrified with his eyes wide open in front of goal.
Petr Cech didn't have any confidence in the goal.
With a whoosh, the ball flew past the palm of Petr Cech's hand, leaving all the Chelsea fans in the stadium pale.
"Oops! It's a pity! Just a little bit! The football flew off the bottom line by grazing the post at the far end of the Chelsea goal, alas, what a pity! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray immediately shook his head in dispriety.
All the Arsenal fans at the scene also immediately broke out into a burst of regret, and the regretful voice knocked on the hearts of all Arsenal fans like a muffled thunder, and they were all depressed and in a very bad mood.
Chelsea fans were immediately lucky to breathe, it was really too dangerous just now, fortunately God forbid, otherwise this ball Chelsea team would be finished.
Goalkick, Chelsea won the goalkick.
Chelsea opted for a counter-attacking tactic, but they didn't give up when the ball was on their side, pushing towards the Arsenal penalty area, but they didn't have a lot of attacking input.
It's almost hard to get the ball out and find your teammates when the ball gets to the front.
Fernando Torres in front of him had the ball for too long before he was cut off by Arturo Vidal.
After the break, Arturo Vidal played a long ball over the top and passed the ball to Gervinho on the wing. After Gervinho got the ball, he immediately broke through with the ball, and he flashed left and right on the side, which was very sharp.
Gervinho's speed and breakthrough are really good, and after he suddenly accelerated past the Chelsea full-back, he immediately curled the ball into the Chelsea penalty area and went directly to Dongfang Chen in the middle.
However, this time Chelsea's centre-back Branislav Ivanovic took the lead and cleared the ball with a header that fell directly to Mikel's feet.
As soon as Mikel received the ball, Arsenal's midfielder Mikel Arteta rushed up to break the ball. Mikel was aware of that, and the moment he received the ball, he gently slid the ball down the middle, and it rolled quickly towards Frank Lampard in the middle.
Once Lampard had the ball, he dribbled forward and sprinted at full speed.
Counterattack! Chelsea's counter-attack came.
Arsenal's Arturo Vidal and Alexander Song both thought Frank Lampard was going to break through with the ball and the pair rushed up to intercept them.
However, shortly after the pair burst out, Lampard suddenly crossed the ball diagonally and sent the ball to Malouda on the wing.
The Arsenal fans immediately shouted in horror, danger, this is really dangerous.
The entire midfield of the Arsenal team was emptied at once, and Malouda advanced with the ball on the wing, and the Arsenal fans were worried.
At this time, Arsenal's full-back Santos immediately pounced and went up to intercept Malouda.
Seeing Santos pounce, Malouda, who was dribbling the ball, suddenly made a feint to pass the ball to the middle, Santos was fooled, and his center of gravity instantly shifted to the middle. Malouda seized the opportunity in an instant, and one accelerated outward, instantly got rid of Santos, and went down.
Seeing that Malouda seemed to have the intention of cutting inside, Koscielny in the middle immediately pounced and went up to intercept.
Seeing Koscielny pounce, Malouda on the wing directly curled the ball into the Arsenal penalty area.
"Cross, Malouda crosses." Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray shouted.
"Fernando Torres, chance!" Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor immediately roared.
Koscielny pounced, leaving Fernando Torres free in the middle, and Mertesacker immediately pounced on it, interfering with Fernando Torres from behind.
All the fans cheered on Fernando Torres.
The ball fell sharply and fell towards Fernando Torres, who was so overjoyed that he immediately jumped to his feet and fought for the top.
Almost everyone in the audience thought that Fernando Torres must be on top of the football and that Chelsea would definitely score.
However, at this time, Mertesacker behind Fernando Torres also jumped, although he could not jump to the top of the football, but he interfered with Fernando Torres in the air.
Fernando Torres missed the ball and it flew over the duo's heads, with Chelsea's Fernando Torres missing another great chance.
