The boos that rang out inside the Highbury Stadium didn't just put pressure on the referees, but also on the Arsenal players, and the fierce reaction of the fans reflected that they were also very nervous.

Arsenal need to score, they need to win this game!

Lock in the league title and usher in a glorious era of the Premier League on a par with Manchester United!

In the 24th minute of the game, Ljungberg broke through Mahon on the right side and crossed the ball diagonally to the middle, Qin Xiong directly used his heel in front of Francis to do the ball back, Fabregas did not stop the ball behind him, rushed up and sent a penetrating through ball directly with the arch of his foot.

The ball rolled past Francis, the tempo was too fast for Francis to react, and the ball passed directly through the narrow gap between Barnes and Henkutz, and Henry cut diagonally behind Henkuts from between Henkutz and Dejeou, and half-turned in the top corner of the six-yard box to push the ball into the far corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Pollit had already surrendered, but when the football was about to roll into the goal, right wing-back Zim Bonda came to the rescue and cleared the ball on the goal line!

"Zim Bonda has made a meritorious service! He ruined Thierry Henry's goal! If he is one step late, Wigan Athletic's gates will be lost! ”

Wigan Athletic's players were a little nervous, but they didn't expect Arsenal to attack stronger now than they did in the first half of the season!

In fact, the most obvious change is not Qin Xiong, because Qin Xiong's toughness last season has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but after further improvement this season, it has gradually surpassed the level of first-class players.

The most important thing is the growth of Cesc Fabregas!

He has the style of a general in the organization and scheduling of the middle and back field and his grasp of the situation on the field, and he can be a young man alone!

Cesc Fabregas is confident now. is no longer as trembling as when he first became the main team, and occasionally walking on thin ice in the game.

He was very grateful to Qin Xiong in his heart, in many cases. It was Qin Xiong and Henry who stepped up in key games to save the team, and also covered up the mediocre performance of many teammates, so as not to let them stand on the cusp of media reports, in that case, the psychological pressure must be very huge!

At the same time, Qin Xiong's stronger image and presence in the front court forced opponents to invest more in Qin Xiong's marking, further weakening the restrictions on Cesc Fabregas. Let him have a relaxed environment to grow steadily.

In addition, Cesc Fabregas communicated with Qin Xiong in training, and Qin Xiong unreservedly told him his experience and led him in the game. It allowed him to not only gain a firm foothold in just one season, but also be hailed as one of the supernovas by the outside world.

Perhaps Qin Xiong was chasing Henry's footsteps in the past, but now, one of Fabregas's driving forces to move forward every day is to catch up with Qin Xiong!

Seeing that Arsenal played a burst of indiscriminate attacks, they failed to find the back of the net. Qin Xiong suddenly walked back to the backcourt and said to Fabregas: "Change the rhythm." ”

Fabregaston was in the know.

Next, he and Qin Xiong interacted with the ball in the midfield. Slowing down the pace of the game and reducing the frequency of passing and cutting runs will inevitably affect Wigan Athletic's players.

Or else?

Arsenal control the football, the attacking players are not running around at high speed, as the passive side of the defence, are they running around blindly?

About 4 minutes later, when Qin Xiong saw that his opponent's rhythm was almost static, he ran from the midfield to the front. Cesc Fabregas played the ball down the left and handed it to Pire, who poked the ball on tiptoe to nearby Qin Xiong under Tayalle's close marking.

Qin Xiong stopped the ball and pulled the ball to the right side on the spot. Brad in front of him was a little frightened, and he didn't dare to rush up to grab it, Qin Xiong suddenly kicked over the top and sent it straight out on the spot!

Bang!

It scared the Wigan Athletic defenders.

They felt a noticeable change in the pace of the game.

Qin Xiong's pass suddenly accelerated, and Ljungberg's inward cut from the side like a sharp knife was an extremely obvious acceleration effect!

Ljungberg rushed behind Henkutz and Barnes, and Qin Xiong's overhead through the ball arrived as scheduled, and he didn't have space to stop the ball, so he jumped straight to head the ball into the middle.

Qin Xiong's pass, combined with Ljungberg's windy inward cut, has driven Wigan Athletic's back line to retreat behind.

And because Arsenal controls the change of pace, at this time, Wigan Athletic was a little caught off guard, and they obviously felt that they couldn't keep up with Arsenal's attacking speed!

This is the wisdom of the rhythm controller in the game!

Change the global rhythm to keep up with the opponent's defense!

Ljungberg's header was ferried to the middle of the goal, and Henry's forward cut was unstoppable, and it seemed to be a one-on-one goal!

But Henry had only one choice: a header!

He used his slightly streamlined head to top the ball, and the ball flew straight to the goal, and when goalkeeper Pollitt was powerless, Henry and the crowd watched in amazement as the ball grazed the top edge of the crossbar and flew off the bottom line!

"Oh my God! Henry missed a great opportunity, he was really not good at heading! Such a good opportunity, so close to the goal, the range of the goal is so big in front of his eyes, as long as he doesn't push the ball into Pollitt's body, the ball is there! However, Henry still deviated! ”

Henry himself thought it was incredible, he thought he had controlled the power and angle of the header just now, but the trajectory of the ball seemed to be different from what he expected.

Perhaps the German medical professor's research was correct, his head was not like the average person, and he lacked the smoothness of the angle of control during the header, which led to the unsatisfactory effect of his header.

Henry walked towards the midfield with a sinking face, and he had no other thought than helplessness.

As one of the top three in the world, and even in terms of statistics, the number one striker in European football today, he is almost perfect, and what is not perfect is his heading ability.

This is already a foregone conclusion.

Wigan Athletic's players feel fantastic.

They played this game with an 8-man defence and a 2-man offensive strategy.

But it's unclear whether it's because of the lack of desire or something else, they didn't show absolute tenacity, which led to the team's defensive line being in danger.

But danger is danger, the team just doesn't concede a goal!

It's a strange situation.

It's not that they keep it well, it's that Arsenal squander the opportunity!

Football matches are sometimes unclear, and a variety of strange factors can lead to a very different relationship between the outcome of the game and the course of the game.

But this has made the Wigan Athletic players feel relieved.

Arsenal can't grasp the opportunity themselves, and they can't complain!

Instead, they relaxed and rejoiced in Arsenal's lack of luck.

Just keep playing like this, Arsenal can't score anyway!

Leave the championship to the finale. (To be continued......)
