Four hundred and seventy-seven, the moment of the decisive battle!
After the start of the second half, Arsenal also saw that Chelsea showed no signs of relaxing, and still had to play against themselves, and they didn't seem to care about this, so let's attack.
Chelsea players also felt Arsenal's determination to score.
Chelsea players have seen a lot of this and they know how to deal with such an enemy.
In addition to strengthening the supervision of Arsenal's middle, it is to rely on the two wings to contain each other.
Arsene Wenger didn't expect his opponent's determination to be just as determined.
All the fans who watched the game were hooked, and both teams unreservedly put their biggest liliang into the attack, and the wonderful scenes were one after another.
Both Chelsea and Arsenal have adopted such a defensive approach to the press, and the investment in attack has reached the limit.
"This is the dream Champions League final!" The French commentator couldn't help but sigh.
Every expectation of the Champions League final is to see a wonderful matchup, in fact, in the history of the Champions League, wonderful finals are rare, every time is disappointing, in order to win, both sides of the game will do whatever it takes to deal with the enemy, and the game is generally ugly, today is completely different, Arsenal's passing and cutting cooperation, Chelsea's wing assault, have feasted the eyes of fans.
Compared with Chelsea, Arsenal's attack is more fierce, after all, the difference between the two goals is not to be shown, and scoring as soon as possible is a very urgent need for Arsenal.
Cesc Fabregas kept running and tried to shake off Frank Lampard's entanglement, but Lampard was not the slightest polite. Don't hesitate to get down when you see the opportunity!
Lampard's every move was clean. There were few foul suspects, and Cesc Fabregas could sense that the other side did not have the intention of using fouls to block him.
In fact, the reverse is also true. Frank Lampard was also met with a strong block from Cesc Fabregas when he got the ball.
However, for Cesc Fabregas, it was a loss, he still had to organise the whole team's attack, and there were too few opportunities to get rid of the opposition, so he decided to slow down for a while, he left the football more to Ljungberg and Gilberto, and he concentrated on observing the opposition defence, and by the way, took Frank Lampard and other Chelsea defenders around in circles.
Ljungberg received more balls. He also has the ability to organise attacks, and although his characteristics are completely different, there is nothing out of the way for the Arsenal players.
In this game, Ljungberg played quite sluggishly, his forward line was always blocked by the opponent, there was no space at all, and that Van Bommel defended very hard.
Try to protect the football, behind your back. Van Bommel kept hitting and Ljungberg kept gritting his teeth and insisting that if he couldn't make a difference, then Arsenal's attacking line would be completely paralyzed.
Now Arsenal need a morale-boosting shot. As for whether to score or not, that's another matter.
With a knock on the football at his feet, he made a gesture to turn around. Van Bommel shifted his focus, and Ljungberg spotted a gap.
Van Bommel behind him also knew that he was impatient and fooled. Hurriedly tackled, hoping to disrupt the opponent's attack.
It's not too late. Ljungberg shot much faster.
The ball roared towards goal, and Cech had already noticed this, and it was Cech's strength that he kept his energy high, and he leaped high and punched the ball off the line, drawing an exclamation from the Chelsea fans in the stands.
"Hi" Cech got up from the ground, trying to remind his teammates not to let the opponent shoot so easily, but he saw Van Bommel also get up from the ground in embarrassment, and the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, it was not easy.
"It's dangerous! Ljungberg's shot was almost successful and Arsenal were a dangerous attack at the start of the second half! β
Ljungberg wasn't upset that the ball didn't go in, and he didn't expect it to work so well when he shot at goal.
After Van Bommel stood up, he looked at Ljungberg's back, and his heart became more vigilant, and the pressure on his opponent was obviously increased.
Ljungberg is a little different from the opponents he's defended before, he moves more often, much faster, and is simple and practical, making it difficult to guard against.
He could have committed a foul just now, but the current position is dangerous, and Lynn has also asked not to give the opponent a chance to take a free kick in such a position as much as possible, that is, to avoid fouls, if he does not foul, Van Bommel must reconsider how to prevent the opponent.
It is difficult to know, but Van Bommel can only remind himself to be more careful.
Corners, this is the status goal that Arsenal wanted in the second half, and Cesc Fabregas has cherished such opportunities, as evidenced by the number of times he has rearranged the ball.
Campbell and Toure both rushed up to fight for the header, but Arsenal obviously strengthened the interception of the midfield to avoid being counterattacked by Chelsea, they know very well that this time is not only their chance, but also the most dangerous time, as long as Chelsea's counterattack is played, it is almost equivalent to a death sentence for Arsenal, and few people can prevent Chelsea's lightning counterattack.
At least four men including Gilberto, Ljungberg and Klich stayed near midfield, each staring at Chelsea's counter-attacking Liliang.
Nick - The Chelsea penalty area was in chaos from a corner, and Toure was in the best position to get the spot, but Cech seemed to be on the right track and relied on his natural advantage as a goalkeeper to take the ball straight over Toure's head.
"Danger!" Arsene Wenger was taken aback and the goalkeeper launched a counter-attack with a hand-tossed ball, a tactic that Chelsea have had been successful on several occasions in recent times.
"Stop him!" Cesc Fabregas is also aware of the dangers.
Hleb was the first to react, quickening his pace in front of Cech.
Knowing that he had lost the lead, Cech did not insist, but clung to the ball and avoided the opponent.
Whewββββ
Many nervous Arsenal fans breathed a sigh of relief, and they also feared that if the goal was lost again, it would be really dangerous.
Lynn had already jumped out of her seat, but saw that Arsenal had responded so well. lost the opportunity to fight back, and couldn't help but sigh. Arsene Wenger is a tough opponent to deal with, and he's got the details down to the point. If it weren't for the good luck in the first half, it would have been hard to say, and with a little disappointment, Lynn returned to her seat.
"Anelka - shoot! Off! β
Chelsea's attack was very successful, Alves forced a break through Klich on the wing, the Arsenal defender with a yellow card did not dare to make much movement, Alves successfully passed the football into the penalty area, Anelka turned and shot, but unfortunately the angle was not mastered.
"Watch defensive!" Lehmann expressed his displeasure with Chlich.
Arsene Wenger also scratched his head a little. Klich's problem looked to have to be solved, as Chelsea opened up the game from his side on two of Chelsea's three attacks in the second half, apparently headed for his yellow card.
After Cesc Fabregas received the football from the defender, he saw that Lampard was already in front of him, waiting for him to pass, and he knew that the opponent had not yet relaxed his guard, and he was not pretentious, and passed the football directly to Ljungberg, who came back to respond.
This time. Ljungberg turned much more easily, and Van Bommel didn't press too hard, but paid attention to defending his direction.
It was going to be a coordinated assault with Hleb, but Henry had already raised his hand to ask for the ball. Ljungberg wanted to dominate the attack, but Arsene Wenger had already made a tactical effort at half-time. What's more, it was Henry who asked for the ball.
Ljungberg made a gesture to xiangyou side breakthrough, deceived Van Bommel after a burst of nervousness. Suddenly send a diagonal pass!
The soccer ball flew straight behind Alves.
Arsene Wenger read that right, Chelsea's Alves is not focusing on defence. This time, Alves's position was very forward, just giving Ljungberg the space behind the pass!
"Henry!"
"Pass beautifully!"
The commentators were amazed, this ball is indeed beautiful!
Henry had already rushed up, and Alves was behind him.
Alves regretted a little, the head coach asked him to focus on the attack, but he didn't care about the defense without a clear defense, just now he just wanted to grab the position for the next attack in advance, but the result was empty behind him.
Watching Henry move forward quickly, he could only chase after him.
Gallas didn't dare to slack off, he never forgot Lynn's instructions to ask him to fill in the position for Alves, at the moment of Ljungberg's pass, he also started, relying on his positional advantage, taking advantage of Henry's lack of full control of the football, he took advantage of the flying tackle first, and destroyed the football out of the sideline, Henry couldn't dodge, the two collided together, and Henry raised his hand to signal the other party to foul!
However, Hauge ignored it.
This time, the Chelsea fans reacted the same as before, exhaling heavily, what a hanging!
There was a huge boo from the Arsenal fans, who were unhappy with the referee's decision that it was a foul, and that a threatening attack by Arsenal that could have opened the scoring was ended.
Unfortunately, the referee did not award the penalty as they wanted.
"There's nothing wrong with the decision, Gallas didn't foul!" Mortenson said fairly.
Gallas and Henry, who were physically entangled, were pulled up by their respective teammates.
Alves patted Gallas on the shoulder and thanked him for being the biggest sinner if he was scored by Arsenal.
Henry glanced at Garas and had a new understanding of the ferocity of his compatriots, just now he really didn't expect the other party to react so quickly and so decisively.
I thought I would be more cautious in the future.
'Arsenal seem to have found a way to attack.' Clark said with some concern.
Lynn nodded, and he naturally saw it.
"We all know how strong Arsenal are, that's normal, don't have any illusions that you can suppress them in all aspects"
However, Lynn didn't feel anything, after all, Arsenal's strength was there.
The opponent grabbed Alves and played from behind, and as he expected, Gallas performed well, resolutely executed his arrangement, effectively made up for the hole, and there was nothing to worry about.
Soon, the throw-in was sent and the ball fell to Henry's feet again.
This time, Arsenal finished a little trick, Henry didn't need to carry the ball with his back, but ran straight forward and received the ball on the run.
When Henry rushes up, it is not so easy to effectively defend against him. This time, Alves ran close to Henry. He was much more careful.
Gallas was also on hand to help, intending to push Thierry Henry into the corner of the corner. In that case, Arsenal's attacking threat is much smaller.
When the two of them worked together to force Henry into a predetermined corner, Henry suddenly struck a light pick with the outside instep, and the ball jumped out between Gallas and Alves!
At the same time, Henry made a sudden stop and changed direction, rushed past Alves, and gently pushed Alves, resulting in the two defenders colliding together.
This time the referee also did not award a foul, and Henry's ruse succeeded.
Terry was surprised that Henry had come out of the encirclement. He started immediately, made a decisive tackle, and didn't care that Henry had already entered the box.
Unfortunately, Henry dodged lightly.
The gates are open!
The Arsenal fans immediately cheered and they seemed to see the goal coming.
Lynn's brow furrowed, the Chelsea defenders were too careless this time.
Arsene Wenger is also happy, as long as this goal is scored, Arsenal's hopes will be greatly increased, and the main thing is that Arsenal's attack has finally opened up, as long as it can be maintained. There is hope for Arsenal's title.
"Henry! Henry! β
The commentator shouted excitedly, and like him, the Arsenal fans seemed to have found an outlet to vent their emotions and shouted loudly.
Thierry Henry did not give other Chelsea players a chance to make amends. Suddenly get up and shoot while running!
Alonso, who returned to defend, made a tackle but he was late.
Thierry Henry's shot went straight past Petr's hand and crashed into the goal amid the deafening cheers of the Arsenal fans!!
β2:1οΌοΌοΌ Arsenal pull a goal back! Henry! King of Highbury! He can do anything! One man singled out the entire Chelsea defence! Classic Henry-style goals! Henry! He saved Arsenal's championship final! β
Henry turned his head to look at the ball in the goal. Running to the stands of Arsenal fans, his signature habit!
"Arsenal! Arsenal! β
In the stands. Arsenal fans shouted Arsenal's name and flocked to the edge of the stands. They jumped and shouted without listening, setting off a wave of excitement.
The goal ignited their title hopes, saw the possibility of an equaliser or even a comeback, and Thierry Henry's one-man approach also boosted the team's morale!
The Chelsea players did look to have taken a beating, and Thierry Henry's goal left them speechless, flawless in attack!
Several defenders bowed their heads and reflected on their mistakes, but it was useless to think about anything now.
Lynn didn't jump on the sidelines, but he also pulled the nearby Ronaldo to pass the word very seriously, "We want victory!" But before the victory is in hand, no one can be careless, don't despise anyone, but, our player is too gentleman, no one has fouled just now, is it just let him break out of the encirclement? β
Gallas and Alves both had chances to end Thierry Henry's breakthrough with a direct foul, but both men acted like a good baby and Terry's sloppy tackle was just as careless, a goal that was a perfect performance by Henry and the result of the connivance of the Chelsea defenders.
After the word was spoken, Lynn turned around and called the people on the bench to warm up.
Soon Chelsea made their first substitution.
He couldn't have allowed Henry to be so unscrupulous, and in the last few minutes, Henry once again formed a threatening attack on the left, causing a foul on Gallas, receiving a yellow card, and after a free kick, Cesc Fabregas formed a long-range shot from outside the box, although it was high, but Lynn realised that his wing-back forward tactics had completed his historic mission and it was time to get back on the right track.
Joe Cole came on, replaced Van Bommel, Ronaldo returned to the right, and Joe Cole killed to the left.
"Chelsea's substitutions are clearly strengthening the attack, and Coach John doesn't seem to be going to defend that one ball, and he still hasn't given up on attacking!"
The signal is clear that Chelsea will continue to step up their attack.
The substitution was a clear boost to Chelsea's morale, which can be weird at times and maybe something will work.
Immediately afterwards, Lynn completed a second substitution, replacing Palacio with Fran, Palacio has been silent for a long time, which is enough to prove that the opponent has prevented him, compared to the point-grabbing Palacio, after Ronaldo switches to the left, his presence will hinder Ronaldo's assault.
And Forlan's presence will improve the overall attack.
"Chelsea's determination" Many commentators admired Lynn's determination, and some even gasped, Chelsea is going to do a big job, in the Champions League final, in the case of a one-goal lead.
"Coach John's courage is admirable!"
Morteson couldn't help but marvel at Lynn's determination.
With two successive substitutions on Wenger's brow, he knows exactly what Chelsea are going to do, and if Arsenal don't respond, then the pressure will be on Arsenal beyond the limits of what they can bear.
Reyes, Wenger made-for-tat adjustments, replacing Pire, and letting Reyes strengthen Arsenal's attack!
"There is a good show to watch, this Champions League final must be a classic!" The commentators applauded the changes made by the two managers.
Joe Cole and Forlan started racing as soon as they got on the pitch, and they now don't blame Lynn for not giving them a starting spot.
Now that the boss has fulfilled his promise, both of them feel that they should repay the manager's trust by scoring goals with hard work, and play at the most critical moment!
As soon as he came out, Joe Cole formed a resolute break on the left and passed the ball diagonally back to the edge of the penalty area, Forlan took the ball and dribbled horizontally, turned and shot, and the ball almost grazed the post and flew off the line!
This shocked Arsenal fans into a cold sweat!
Lynn was very satisfied with the effect created by the two of them after they came on the court, he applauded without listening, shouted the names of his players, and waved them to strengthen the attack!
"Maybe this is the decisive moment!" Mortenson said something suddenly. (To be continued......)
