Chapter 388: The Fierce First Half.
Lingard asked Rooney the same question.
Rooney's answer was firm, though.
That's no matter what,
He won't leave.
for the Commonwealth is his country,
He is known as the British Emperor,
Won't leave anyway.
And he has always believed that
Manchester United with Alex Ferguson,
It's the best team in the world.
So he politely turned down offers from other clubs.
……
Back to the apartment in the evening.
Liu Yang turned on the TV as soon as possible.
Really.
The match between Arsenal and Barcelona began.
The first leg was played at Arsenal's new stadium, the Emirates Stadium.
For this game,
Liu Yangke is looking forward to it.
After all, it is a contest between warm and melon streams.
Although Arsenal is relatively weak on paper,
But after all, it's people's home field,
Arsene Wenger is also Arsenal's meritorious coach,
In terms of technique and tactics, it has also reached the point of perfection.
Liu Yang took a bottle of happy fat house water endorsed by himself and a pack of potato chips,
Sitting on the big sofa in your own house,
While drinking soda and eating snacks,
While watching the top battle between the two giants,
It's a pleasant feeling.
At the moment, Liu Yang couldn't help but envy,
Those fans and friends are happy watching the game.
Of course
Some like to drink beer and grill skewers to watch the game,
Then it's more atmospheric.
……
"Beep!"
With the referee's whistle,
The two sides began to enter the mode of fighting each other.
Just two minutes into the opening,
The snatcher won in a midfield snatch,
In the face of Iniesta's up-and-forth,
Van Persie struck first,
A through ball allowed Cesc Fabregas, who was inserted at high speed, to receive the ball in the Barca midfield area,
However, Brazil's defender Alves will not give Cesc Fabregas an easy dribble.
Straight to a sliding shovel to bring him down.
Arsenal opened less than five minutes,
It was a good set-piece up front.
It's just that when Nasri took this set-piece,
Kicks the ball out of bounds.
Although Arsenal's attack did not pose a threat to Barcelona,
But it can also be regarded as a knock on the mountain and the tiger.
6th minute,
Arsenal pressed again,
Because in their own home turf,
All the players in the sought-after are fighting fiercely,
Little Tiger Walcoat ran quickly and cut off Professor Boo's pass,
And then two to one with Fabregas,
Straight past the Barcelona midfield,
In the face of Professor Bu, who was anti-robbery,
Theo Walcott's diagonal pass finds Nasri on the wing.
Nasri gets the ball in the rib area,
Directly with Alves staged body sticking,
The two fought for two or three rounds,
Nasrila Vacancy,
A sweep kick sweeps the ball down the middle.
He was looking for Van Persie, who had outflanked him.
It's a pity that Van Persie was interfered with by Pique,
In the end, it was not completed.
Let the ball fly off the line.
However, Arsenal's attack is not over,
They continued to press up front.
In the 11th minute,
Barcelona kick in the goal kick.
was robbed by the grabbing midfielder Wilshere,
Barcelona immediately launched a counter-robbery on the spot,
Xavi, Professor Bou, Andres Iniesta and Pedro were four men who intended to surround the small threat.
However, the small threat is not at all,
In the four-person bag,
Finally, you can pass the ball out of the encirclement and give it to your teammates.
Truth be told,
This game,
Wilshere's performance was recognized by the football community.
Liu Yang was also amazed by Arsenal, a 19-year-old player.
Next
Arsenal a few feet shifted,
He passed the ball to the attacking line.
At this time,
Arsenal's front line personnel have been involved in the attack with a whopping six.
It's just that they didn't find a chance on the left flank.
He then passed the ball to the right for organization.
Little Tiger Walcott shook a few times at the edge of the penalty area,
was strongly disturbed by Abidal,
The ball could then only be handed to the feet of captain Cesc Fabregas.
Cesc Fabregas received the ball and dribbled a few times,
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration,
At the top of the arc facing Puyol,
came a very imaginative pick,
The connection between Fan and Fa!
Van Persie plugged in at high speed in the box,
In the face of the incoming ball,
Take advantage of the situation and volley into the air.
"Bang!"
The ball hangs straight into the corner of the goal.
Barcelona goalkeeper Valdés was fired before he could react.
1:0!
The favourites take the lead at home.
Seeing Van Persie's goal,
Liu Yang couldn't help but be happy,
It's just because this handsome Robin Man played so beautifully.
This front-court awareness,
This run,
And the final kick to the door,
It's all perfect.
The ball was pressed well by him,
The kick is also full of strength,
Tricky angle,
This makes the Barcelona door god really have no way at all.
No wonder in the previous life,
He was favored by Lord Buddha,
Then they brought him to Manchester United.
That's an afterword.
However, judging from Arsenal's goal this time,
This is the effect of their pressing up front.
After the opening,
It's really not cowardly to face Barcelona at all,
They didn't think about cowering and fighting in the first place,
Instead, two-thirds of the players were pressed into the frontcourt.
Finally, Cesc Fabregas picked up a pass from the top of the arc,
fully showing the talent of the talented midfielder,
This is also the key for the sought-after to get ahead.
The other Barcelona players saw this,
I can't believe it,
Especially Messi, Xavi, these teenagers who grew up together in La Masia,
They never thought of their former playmates,
Now he is the hero who broke through his own door.
In this regard,
The hearts of these Barcelona players can be described as mixed.
The game continues.
Barcelona faces a backward situation,
Launched their unprecedented counterattack.
In the 19th minute,
The Barcelona player successfully counter-attacked on the spot near the midfield,
Andres Iniesta made a scalpel-like pass to Messi in the shadow striker position,
Messi was just about to start with the ball,
Arsenal guard Song made a sliding tackle on Messi,
Fortunately, Messi came out in time,
This is to avoid being shoveled by the other party.
Samuel Eto'o in the rib area gets the ball,
Returning the ball to Messi again,
The two played a smooth pass at the back of Arsenal.
Suddenly Messi was in the face of Koscielny's grab,
A rapid shoulder change of direction,
Two steps erased Koscielny, who stretched out his feet to intercept,
dribbling the ball all the way into the penalty area,
Another Arsenal defender, Sagna, rushed over to make up for the defense,
Messi took advantage of the speed of dribbling.
Shake it off again,
At this time,
Messi has gone it alone.
There was nothing in front of him except the goalkeeper.
Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia has no way,
can only abandon the door and go out,
However, in the face of Almunia who rushed over to save the ball.
Messi calmly poked at the bottom of the ball.
Spoon hanging door!
The ball went over the head of the Arsenal goalkeeper,
Finally, it landed lightly in the goal.
1:1!
25 minutes in the first half.
Barcelona pulled the score back through Messi's goal.
This goal,
It can be said that Messi single-handedly turned the tide.
Although the frontcourt players also gave a lot of help,
But the sudden eruption in front of the goal,
Connected Arsenal's two major defensive giants,
Finally, facing the attacking goalkeeper,
can also calmly shoot with a single kick,
This is really done with his super dribbling skills.
