Chapter 398: Why are the flowers so red?
But people want to have a bright face and show their ability in front of excellent players and big teams, but you arrange some substitutes or even second-tier teams to come up, what kind of trouble are you going to make?
This is no longer looking down on yourself, but not giving yourself a "way to live".
The players in Coventry are quite angry, you can look down on us, but you can't help but give us a way out.
With manager Adrian Bosroyd's instigation, one can imagine what the current atmosphere is like in Coventry. And for a League One team, they have the same characteristics as the other twenty-one League One teams, as well as all the other lower league teams in England. That's the ferocious pressing, the crazy physical contact.
Obviously, Coventry want to give Arsenal a little bit of colour in this game.
But Arsenal showed Coventry what it means to be strong, and at the same time taught them a lesson why Arsenal are in the top four teams in the Premier League, while Coventry are only in the middle and upper reaches of League One.
Just a minute into the game, Flamini cut off a pass from Coventry in midfield and handed it to the new Swedish veteran Karlström. Then Karlström sent a long pass over the top, and Chamberlain, a fast horse on the wing, quickly killed, and then caught the opponent's transition from attack to defense, and rushed directly to the side.
When he came to the ribs of the penalty area, he made a fake cross to Bendtner, shook off the opposing central defender, suddenly changed direction and cut directly into the penalty area, and finally faced the sideways movement interception of another central defender and the goalkeeper's blocking of the near corner, and chose to hit the far corner of the goal.
The ball ran through the legs of the centre-back who was chasing back laterally on the grass and rolled straight into the side-netting in the far corner.
Just when many fans had just entered the stadium and were still looking for their seat numbers, and even some fans were still buying drinks and popcorn, Arsenal had already taken a 1-0 lead at their home stadium.
Coventry was a little dumbfounded, I wanted to give the other party a little color, but I didn't expect to be easily by others!
It was just an accident!! The Coventry players thought it would not have been possible if the midfielder hadn't been careful enough to pass the ball and the opposition midfielder had cut it off.
So Coventry immediately adjusted their mentality, and it was much better to concede a goal in the opening game than in the last minute, at least they still had 89 minutes to chase the score back.
Coventry, who restarted the game, were keen to move the score back quickly and move quickly to the 40-yard area. However, against Arsenal's defence, there was no good way to get the ball into the box, and the midfielder tried a long-range shot when he almost conceded the ball.
However, Vermaelen was swept out with his left foot, and Flamini quickly passed the ball away.
Wilshere received the ball and nudged it to Gnabry before turning and cutting forward. Gnabry made a one-two and re-handed the ball to Wilshere.
Wilshere broke through with the ball in the middle, and the opponent's back wanted to foul and intercept the small threat, but Wilshere easily shook the opponent away. Instead of clamoring with the opposing centre-back, Wilshere opted to pass the ball to the new team's veteran Karlström.
The experienced veteran didn't even look closely at Wilshere's specific gestures, and judging by his reading of the game, he knew what to do.
Again, a long overhead pass was passed behind the two centre-backs. Wilshere plugged in again at high speed, and the anti-offside position was successful, forming a single knife.
Finally, when the opposing goalkeeper chose to attack, the ball was sent into the net.
2-0, Arsenal expands the score!
After scoring two goals in five minutes, Coventry City was already beaten out. Although he knows that he is far from Arsenal, it still makes some sense to be scored twice in five minutes. At this rate, wouldn't it be a sieve in 90 minutes?
Coventry was a bit caught off guard and was a bit "aimless" even after the restart.
And in the ninth minute, Arsenal almost scored again. It's just that Bendtner's shot at his feet didn't find the direction of the goal, and finally rolled out of the bottom line very outrageously.
In fact, Bendtner's position and opportunity were all thought of this time, and Wilshere's play was also very suitable. It's just that the Danish center's shot at the end was simply miserable, and fans often ridiculed Torres' inaccurate shot. But Li Zihan, who watched the game from the stands, believes that Torres still has a long way to go compared to Bendtner. No wonder whether it was at Juventus last season or now at Arsenal, the Danes didn't have much of a chance to play. There are not many opportunities for his teammates to create zào, but he can't grasp it.
However, if Torres knew that his "bad friend" thought so, he probably didn't know whether it was better to cry or laugh
Bendtner's shot didn't go in, but it did Coventry a big favor. Coventry, who were still listless, were instantly woken up, because they knew that if they were really beaten into a sieve by Arsenal like this, it would become a joke.
So Coventry's players immediately adjusted their mentality, and Arsenal attacked fiercely during this time, so they chose to avoid their edge and play defensively.
It was really defensive rather than counter-attacking, because even their centre-forward returned to the midfield to defend the opposition's high ball, and there was no one in the front, completely giving up the counter-attack.
Arsenal, on the other hand, was excited and took advantage of this breath to attack again.
It's just that the opponent's defense is too dense, although Arsenal seems to be attacking Feng Shui, and frequently threatens the opponent's goal, but the ball is missing and can't fly into the goal again. After all, the current Arsenal lacks players like Li Zihan, Mesut Ozil or Cazorla or even Ramsey who can play a decisive role.
After more than ten minutes of bombardment and inability to score, Arsenal chose to control the ball and control the tempo a little.
And this control zhì frantically brushed the ball possession rate to a terrifying number of 75 percent.
In the second half of the first half, Arsenal even trained Coventry, and when this game was an intra-team match, continuous passing and cutting and running went up.
Coventry is now not only the score, but also the field is falling behind on a large scale, falling into a situation of passive beating. From the perspective of neutral fans, Arsenal feel a bit like they are bullying the small
Poor Coventry, who had wanted to give Arsenal a little color, now knows why the flowers are so red.
