Chapter 247: The Captain of the Gunslinger Who Is Out of State
The moment Abang Lajo saw Szczesny attack, he immediately made a decision. Half-leaning up, then a light lift of your left foot. The ball was picked up by him and flew high over Szczesny, and the Polish international jumped up to take it off, but the height was not high enough to watch it fly over his head towards the goal.
Bentek jumped up for the top, and Merdesart certainly wouldn't let the opponent form a header so easily. He jumped up and tried to suppress the opposition, but the moment the ball flew by, Bentek surprised the German centre-back and did not have a header on goal. He didn't even touch the ball – Bentek deflected his head and let it go.
Merdesart broke out in a cold sweat all of a sudden, and he knew that it was impossible for the opponent to let go of the ball without heading the ball to the bottom line. The opponent did this to show that there was still his team behind him and the opponent, and Merdesart wanted to turn around but it was too late.
On the other side, Weimann cut forward along the sideline when he dribbled the ball in Abang Lajo. Then he saw that Abang Lajo was cut in, and he did not hesitate to follow the inside in. It's just that Abang Lajo has the ball at his feet and he's off the ball.
Just as he reached the inside of the penalty area, he saw Bentek deflect his head and immediately realized this opportunity. Instantly stepped forward to get rid of Sagna completely, and then jumped like a run, and slammed the head directly against the flying ball. The ball hit him in the forehead and the course changed direction and flew straight into the goal in front of Bentek and Weimann. Szczesny did a job of fishing for the ball, but he didn't even catch a single hair, and the ball flew into the net solidly.
Aston Villa fans cheered in an instant, while Arsenal at home were dumbfounded.
While the opposition were celebrating the goal, Arsene Wenger pulled Arteta not far away and told him to keep the defence steady. Then organize an offensive and don't panic.
In the first game of the new season, it was still the opponent who scored the first goal at home, which is not a good thing for the Arsenal players. And the pressure on them has never stopped this season, and although the protest slogans of the fans are aimed at manager Arsene Wenger and the club's hierarchy, these players have been affected to a greater or lesser extent.
Later on, Arsenal began to organise their attacks, but once they arrived in the front, Arsenal's attack looked clumsy. Walcott's speed advantage was a bit uncomfortable, but when it came to the goal, it was a bit worse to match the ball with the pass. In front of the opponent's tactics of swinging the bus in front of the goal, the little tiger's teeth seemed to have been pulled out. Not to mention Giroud, if the French striker is reliable, Arsenal will not be a member of the "Weak Striker League". The reason why Giroud can still appear regularly in the starting line-up is that he is not really more selective, and that he is a positive runner. He can often retreat to the backcourt to help his teammates defend, and he often retreats to help his teammates make the ball.
That's why Arsenal have always claimed that they never bow down like a dense defence, and their attack is pretty good. But when the opponent is bent on defending, at least Arsenal really can't do much now.
Li Zihan is also in a hurry off the court, and he is also a person who is very entangled when he sees that the team can't open the situation for a long time. Especially when he was behind at home and he was sitting on the pitch and there was nothing he could do.
Arsenal fans began chanting slogans in an attempt to awaken the attacking power of the players and cheer their team on.
"If I were a bullet,
Galloping in the air in Highbury,
I must know where I'm going
- rush, rush, rush,
Straight to the enemy's chest. ”
However, Arsenal's slogans did not bring any change to the situation on the pitch, and the Arsenal players either shot the ball away or were cut off by the opposition's dense defence as soon as they arrived.
For a long time, it was as if God had pressed the clips to replay them. Arsenal beautifully transported the ball to the front court, then flew or lost the ball to give the ball to the opponent, and then the opponent launched a counter-attack. Arsenal's less solid backline was able to get the ball back to the surprise of the fans, but of course it was more of a last-minute kick worse than Arsenal and a brilliant play from Poland's international Szczesny. Then Arsenal sent the ball forward with a beautiful pass and then broke it off
Just as Arsene Wenger got up to make a change, the situation on the pitch was finally broken. Westwood and Delph combined to cut off Podolski's ball and then sent it straight up front and past the Arsenal defence.
"Aston Villa counterattack, hit behind!!"
Abang Lajo, who was close to Vermaelen, immediately turned around and started, but Vermaelen, who was a beat slower, didn't have time to stop him. can only follow behind him, chasing back while raising his hand to signal that the other party is offside. Merderssat also raised his hand, and he didn't know if the opponent was offside, which was just misleading to the referee.
"Is the ball offside? It wasn't clear, but the linesman didn't say anything and the referee didn't blow the whistle. Then the goal is not offside, and Arsenal is in danger!! ”
Vermaelen's speed could not keep up with the fully activated Abonlajo, and just when the Belgian central defender wanted to reach for the opponent's jersey and try to stop the opponent with a foul, he found that his hand reached out for the shirt but did not reach it. - Not enough!!
"Single knife!! Villa's chances, a nice counter-attack. Look at the ball, Abang Laho!! ”
Szczesny decisively gave up again and half-pressed towards Abang Lajo, who was about to enter the penalty area with the ball. The body pressure is not very low, and he wants to prevent the opponent from taking the path of high-altitude hanging.
Abonlaho calmly faced the onrushing Szczesny, one of the Premier League's best goalkeepers, and then just entered the penalty area just as Szczesny was about to get close to him. Abang Lajo didn't panic in the slightest and made a push shot, and the ball went straight to the far goal.
"Abang Laho went to the meeting alone!! Push and shoot, run to the far corner!! ”
Szczesny pounced sideways and stretched to keep the ball out. However, his save was just a little finger against the ball, and he didn't take it off completely. The ball changed course a little bit, but it was still in the goal.
Abang Lajo didn't stop after shooting, and wanted to rush up to see if there was a chance to kick it. However, the ball rolled a little faster than Abang Lajo, and the ball eventually hit the inside of the post and bounced off the goal line
"The ball is in!! Abang Laho has made a meritorious service!! Villa took a 2-0 lead at Arsenal and that wasn't good news for Arsenal. Arsenal should probably make some changes, with the camera giving Arsene Wenger a close-up and the professor frowning. ”
The camera swept over the Arsenal fans' stands, and the Arsenal fans were furious, clearly unhappy with the team's performance. However, the Premier League director is also very humorous, and his camera does not look for the Villa players and fans who scored the goal. Instead, they found Wenger and Arsenal fans, and it seems that the Arsenal protests some time ago were so noisy that even the director knew. Uncle Zhan Jun looked at the camera and swept to the Arsenal fans standing in the crowd, wearing Arsenal shirts but pointing at the camera with their middle fingers like the people around them.
"Let's see if the ball is offside, Westwood and Delph cut off Podolski's ball, and then Delph went straight to the Arsenal back with a big kick that looked like a clearance. At this time, we clearly saw that Abanglajo did not activate at the moment of Delph's pass, but only started to shake off Vermaelen when the ball was already out. So the ball is not offside, there is nothing to argue about. Looking at the camera, Vermaelen was explaining to the referee that the ball was offside.
'Vermaelen had already made two mistakes in a row in half an hour, and those two mistakes resulted in two goals for the opponent. Maybe the first ball was too harsh for him, but there was nothing to say about the second goal, and he couldn't withstand the opposition's attacking core, Abang Laho. Perhaps Arsene Wenger should consider a substitution, and when the attack cannot open the situation and the back line is not stable, perhaps Lee, who just joined this summer, is a good choice. Lee's speed combined with Walcott, Podolski and Cazorla in the front court should be a good choice, at least the opponent does not have so much energy to free up his hands to counterattack. Herhouse continued.
Arsene Wenger frowned, something was wrong with Vermaelen and he could see it in training. However, he thought that the Belgian centre-back, captain, should not have much of a problem on the pitch and that he should have a strong self-regulation ability. But I didn't expect Zuihou Vermaelen to fail to find his form, but also conceded a goal.
"Thomas, what's wrong with you?" With a face that has not changed for a thousand years, Wenger frowned and looked at the players on the field.
Arsene Wenger looked at the time and found that it was not far from the end of the first half, so he simply did not make a substitution. He walked to the sidelines and made a gesture to signal the players not to be impatient and not to panic, and to wait until the end of the first half.
Captain Vermaelen was clearly out of form today, and just as the first half was about to end, a mistake almost cost the team a 3-0 half-time at home to a mid-table side like Villa.
Medersat spoiled Bentek's ball with a cross-tackle and it rolled to Vermaelen's feet. Abang Laho rushed forward quickly, trying to make a counter-robbery on the spot. Vermaelen panicked a little and then knocked the ball back to Szczesny in the box.
It's just that his return pass is obviously not strong enough, and the ball speed is very slow. Abang Laho, who rushed up at once, almost picked up the ball and stabbed it at the goalkeeper, but fortunately Szczesny felt that the force of the ball was wrong when Vermaelen kicked it. Rushed out decisively and quickly, and when the ball entered the big penalty area just now, Abang Lajo had already reached the arc of the penalty area and held the ball in advance.
When Wenger saw this, he was angry and wanted to say something, but Zuihou didn't say anything. Just put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked at Vermaelen with a straight face.
When Szczesny threw the ball, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. With no players injured, the referee gave only a symbolic minute of stoppage time in the first half.
"Well, the first half is over. Villa unexpectedly took a 2-0 lead over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, and Arsenal's attack was not open at all in the first half, but it was the visiting Villa's counter-attack that was full of joy. The Gunners captain at back, Belgian Vermaelen, was clearly out of form today, and both goals conceded had something to do with him. Looking at what changes Arsenal will make in the second half, Wenger often takes advantage of half-time when they are behind, often with a stroke of genius to let us come back after a quarter of an hour and the excitement continues. ”
