No. [091] back: The desperate Braga team
Dongfang Chen is completely unguarded at the back point, and Dongfang Chen is very free.
The Braga fans closed their eyes in despair, they didn't dare to look at it anymore.
Brush!
The ball flew straight into the Braga goal, and Felipe did his best, but he didn't touch the football.
"Ball in, ball in, ball in!" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray immediately shouted excitedly.
All the Arsenal fans at the scene shouted frantically: "Dongfang Chen! Dongfang Chen! You're the best, and we've got your back! ”
Seeing the football fly into the net, Edgar's face was full of helplessness.
By this time, Edgar really felt Dongfang Chen's toughness, he couldn't bear it at all, he had already been blown up by Dongfang Chen.
Dongfang Chen, who scored the goal, was very excited, and rushed directly to the sidelines, came to the corner flagpole, practiced boxing, and smashed his fists into the corner flagpole fiercely, full of domineering.
The fans of the Arsenal team at the scene were even more excited, and they all shouted excitedly to cheer for Dongfang Chen.
The players of the Arsenal team also rushed forward excitedly, surrounded Dongfang Chen in the middle, and everyone jumped excitedly and celebrated together.
Braga's players are a little depressed, this game is their life and death, and if they lose, they don't have any chance. This is a game they have to win.
However, now they are behind the score, and the situation is not good.
However, the players of the Braga team did not give up, they still have time, they will not just admit defeat, this game, they have to win.
Soon the game continued, and the players of the Braga team did not panic and stepped up their attack.
The ball rolled to the feet of Braga midfielder Salino, who noticeably increased the speed and frequency of his shots to bring the pace of the game up.
Braga's players are well aware that the more tempo they have, the greater the threat they are exposed to, as Arsenal are used to this fast-paced approach.
But now Braga can't do anything, now they are behind and if they want to equalize, they have to increase the tempo of the attack.
The ball immediately rolled to the feet of Vatiño on the wing, Vatiño received the ball and turned, slid his left foot over the ball, flicked the ball to the side with his right foot, shook off a bit of space, and then accelerated past Arsenal defender Walcott.
Vatineo immediately scurried down the flanks and slotted towards the Arsenal penalty area.
Arsenal full-back Eboue immediately pounced and made a sliding tackle straight to the ground towards the Vatiño. Vatiño reacted quickly, pulled the ball back, and slammed the ball with his heel to the middle, and the ball quickly rolled to the feet of Salino in the middle.
Salino didn't stick to the ball, and made a long pass over the top to pass the ball to Aguilar, who was rushing forward on the other side.
Aguilar scurried forward and just as the ball was about to fly off the line, he scrambled to pass it into the Arsenal box.
'Aguilar crosses with his feet and Alan follows up in the middle.' Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray immediately shouted loudly.
"Alain's header!" Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor also shouted loudly.
With a bang, Alain's head slammed into the ball, and the ball flew quickly towards the Arsenal goal, which was fast and dangerous.
Arsenal goalkeeper Fabianski reacted quickly, took off directly into the air, and knocked the football out of the bottom line with one palm, turning the tide and trying to keep the goal intact.
"Beautiful! Fabianski's save was beautiful, very good. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray finally relaxed a bit.
"Corner, Braga got a corner!" Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said immediately.
Aguilar on the wing directly curled the ball into the Arsenal penalty area, and Matus jumped high in front of the goal, but did not reach the football, and the football immediately flew to the middle.
Vermaelen jumped straight up in the middle and headed the ball out of the box.
But football did not go far beyond Lima outside the penalty area. Seeing the football flying towards him, he directly volleyed sideways and swept the football towards the Arsenal goal.
The ball was fast, but just a little higher, and the ball flew over the Arsenal crossbar and off the line.
Honk!
Referee Rossetti from Italy blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
At the end of that half, the away Arsenal team led the Braga team 1-0 with Dongfangchen's goal.
In the first half of the game, it is still very good to be able to be the table of the Arsenal team, especially Dongfang Chen, the big guy did not expect this guy to be in the starting list today, and even did not expect him to appear in Portugal.
Dongfang Chen's appearance gave everyone a big surprise, and in this game, Dongfang Chen's watch Xiàn was still very good, putting a lot of pressure on Braga, causing a lot of trouble, and also scored a goal to help the team take the lead.
Dongfang Chen was the best player of both sides in the first half of the game, and the Arsenal fans were thrilled. However, this has caused Braga's head coach Jardim and Braga's players to worry and at the same time cause headaches.
Yaldim can see that Dongfang Chen is in very good shape today, where is there a little trace of injury. Dongfang Chen is in such a state, if he doesn't strengthen his suppression, this second half of the game is likely to directly turn into a massacre.
Yaldim was very headache at this time, he immediately asked Edgar, in the first half he sent Edgar to guard Dongfang Chen, what he told him was to let Edgar not give Dongfang Chen a chance, but Dongfang Chen still scored.
Edgar was helpless in Russia, and he immediately said to Yaldim: "Dongfang Chen is too strong, he can't hold it at all, and he can't keep an eye on him alone." ”
Yaldim shook his head helplessly and sighed, how could he not know?
In fact, Yaldim had already seen that Edgar was very difficult to defend Dongfang Chen, and even couldn't prevent it at all.
But he didn't have any other way. If two people are allowed to defend Dongfang Chen, then they will expose more gaps, the strength of the players of the Arsenal team is very strong, give them a little space, they will suffer a blow that ruins the miè.
This also made Yaldim feel helpless, he really couldn't restrain Dongfang Chen. It is the sadness of a small team, if it is a giant club, the strength of his players and the players of the Arsenal team will not be so different.
At this time, Yaldim still reminded Salino in the midfielder to go back to help Edgar defend as much as possible when defending, keep an eye on Dongfangchen, and don't give Dongfangchen a chance.
Of course, Jardim also reminded the Braga players that they will have to step up their attack in the second half, and that they cannot afford to lose this game, and if they lose this season's Champions League journey, it will be over.
The Braga players are naturally reluctant to leave the Champions League stage just like that, they want to keep going.
Braga's players are holding their nerve as they need to beat Arsenal to secure their last chance of qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions League.
On the Arsenal side, it was much more relaxed, with the Arsenal players having smiles on their faces, and it was an easy game, and the Arsenal players felt that the second half should be easier.
The players of the Arsenal team naturally saw that Edgar couldn't defend Dongfang Chen at all, and as long as they strengthened this point of attack in the second half, they would be very easy to win this game.
However, in the dressing room, Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger still reminded the Arsenal players not to be careless and play this game seriously, they do not want this game to be any mistakes.
The players of the Arsenal team naturally nodded in agreement immediately, and the players of the Arsenal team did not let their guard down, and they had to win this game.
However, at the start of the second half, Braga surprised the Arsenal players.
At the start of the second half, Braga had a very good chance.
After the start of the second half of the game, the Braga team suddenly launched a ferocious attack, and the pace of the attack was also very fast, Vatiño on the side suddenly sent a very beautiful pass, and the football flew directly to the feet of Lima who was inserted in front of the wing.
The speed of the game was very fast, which put a lot of pressure on the Arsenal players. The immediate high-speed breakthrough broke through the two Arsenal defenders in a row, and the Braga fans at the scene were very excited, shouting Lima's name one by one.
After a series of breaks, Lima suddenly made a reverse cross and sent the ball straight to the wing.
At this time, Braga's full-back Vatiño stepped up to the side and quickly caught up with the football, and he still had time to look up to observe the Arsenal penalty area, and then, Vatiño directly swung back and curled the ball into the Arsenal box.
The ball spun rapidly through the air and flew in a beautiful arc towards the back of the Arsenal penalty area.
"Beautiful, nice cross, Arsenal are in danger!" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray immediately shouted loudly.
"Danger! Arsenal are in danger! Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor exclaimed loudly when he saw the pass.
The Arsenal fans at the scene were also shocked, the ball was indeed dangerous.
At the back post, Braga's striker Matus rushed in at a high speed, jumped high and headed the goal with no one to defend him!
