Chapter 447: First Guard, First Striker
"It's an amazing barb shot!"
"The barb that bounces off the ground and flies into the goal is very rare in my memory, and I may not have seen it before."
"Lin Supo, the fairy ball, he stood in the top corner of the penalty area on the right side and lived a little longer, and a barb successfully broke the goal."
"Wonderful, really wonderful."
Highbury Field has been transformed into a sea of joy.
"Super Forest!"
"Super Forest!"
"Super Forest!"
Arsenal fans frantically shouted Lin Supo's name, they did not spare their voices at all, the scarves in their hands were also waving wildly, and some fans took off their shirts excitedly.
It's so handsome.
Witnessed a kick of fairy balls.
Lin Supo's foot itself is extremely chic.
Turning the impossible into possible, a ball that couldn't be shot directly at all was forced into the goal by him with a barb.
Awesome, awesome!
After the ball bounced to the ground, it went straight to the far corner of the goal, completely deceiving the opposing goalkeeper Hislop.
Arsene Wenger stood on the sidelines and applauded excitedly.
It's rare for him to have such a gaffe.
But Lin Supo's ball was really unexpected.
Domineering, really domineering!
The angle of the coach's bench is average, and there is no way to see it completely.
But whether you can score or not, whether it is a good opportunity Wenger knows at a glance.
Now he's so happy.
If he didn't have a labor permit, Lin would have gone to Manchester United.
Then he and Arsenal have absolutely no chance of challenging Ferguson's team.
Although I don't deal much with Ferguson.
But Arsene Wenger knew Ferguson very well.
Also acknowledging Ferguson's strength.
A strong person will never deny an opponent to highlight himself, otherwise what have you become? You've been fighting with a rookie for years, aren't you a rookie yourself?
Wenger is not self-defeating.
Alex Ferguson is very good, Manchester United is also very good.
If Lin had gone to Manchester United, for many years to come, there would only be one hegemon in the Premier League, and no team would be able to challenge Manchester United.
Even Arsene Wenger, who has never believed in fate, feels that this is a providence in the dark.
Otherwise, why didn't Ferguson pursue Lin for the first time this summer?
With Eric Cantona retiring, United need a striker.
The Scotsman had a bad brain, and he didn't even want to buy the woods.
As the game resumed, West Ham continued to attack, and their attacking pace became faster, indicating that their players were impetuous.
Gerrard crossed the midfield with a long pass, and Hartson fell in the middle of the scramble, and the referee blew the half-time whistle directly.
"Referee, he pushed me, you see." Hutson got up and rushed to the referee to complain.
The referee said: "I saw it, but he didn't use that much force at all, so don't try to fool my eyes." ”
"Referee, I'm not lying."
"If you want to get a card for faking a fall, just keep talking to me."
As soon as Hutson saw that he didn't have a chance to ask for a benefit, he walked back.
"That guy is so cunning." Guti pouted.
Lin Supo nodded in agreement with Guti's statement.
A lot of strikers like to dive.
Always trying to cheat penalties to find a chance to score.
After all, penalties are the easiest way to score goals.
But not everyone can succeed, and diving is also a science.
When he was younger, Ronaldo was also a player who loved diving.
Later, with the development of camera and motion capture technology, it was not so easy to dive, and there were fewer players who deliberately dived to take penalties.
So it's not the quality of the players that has improved.
It is because of the objective conditions of the outside world that they can't often succeed in cheating penalties, and they will also eat cards because of fake falls, so there are fewer people who take penalties in diving.
After everyone went back to the locker room.
It's more relaxing to sit there.
Arsene Wenger didn't give any tactical instructions right away.
The French "professor" is a man of great attention to detail.
There are 15 minutes at half-time, and if the tactics are not too complicated, he usually leaves it for the last talk.
This 15 minutes is reasonably arranged.
It was to start by summarizing the situation in the first half and occasionally criticizing the players.
Then arrange the tactics of the second half and how to target the opponent.
When the team is playing well, let the players relax and make tactical arrangements when they are about to get back on the pitch.
Arsène Wenger can say that Arsène Wenger has done a lot of detail.
And it's still improving.
That's why he's one of the best coaches in football.
In his previous life, some fans liked Black Wenger.
Speak with Arsenal's late results.
I don't want to think about it, if Wenger's results were not good at that time, would Real Madrid always pursue Wenger?
Later, when Ferguson retired, he also considered Wenger.
PSG also considered Arsene Wenger after being bought by local tycoons.
All of this is a testament to Arsene Wenger's quality.
After a break of almost 78 minutes, Wenger stepped up to the tactical board and painted.
Then he waved his hand and said: "West Ham's two central midfielders are the key for them, so you two midfielders must target them, especially the kid named Frank Lampard." ”
"Okay, head."
Petit and Vieira nodded their heads.
"Talking about how to contain their attack, let's talk about how to attack, West Ham's defensive line is on Ferdinand's side, that is, our right side, today Lin played his own striker, it is difficult to avoid playing with Ferdinand, so Jose needs more forward insertion to help Lin share the pressure."
"Okay, Coach."
Guti nodded.
'Well, boys, you can play, I wish you more goals in the second half.'
Wait until it's time to get back to the players' tunnel.
Lin Supo deliberately looked at West Ham's two future stars.
Ferdinand looks a little more mature.
Black people are like 20s in their 10s and 20s in their 30s, so now Rio Ferdinand is familiar with the Manchester United defender a lot like him.
Instead, Lampard's face was green, and it was obvious that he had just faded into a teenager.
When he is older, he will mature, but the British age relatively quickly, and the 30s are like 40 years old.
Rooney is even more exaggerated, in his early 30s is the same as in his 60s, his beard is white, and the muscles on his face are as loose as an old man.
Back on the course to restart the game.
West Ham have clearly changed their tactics.
They actually kicked high and pressed.
Although there are very few teams playing high pressing in these years, and there is no mature theoretical support, it is not completely non-pressing.
West Ham's high press is clearly that everyone has their own goals.
Especially when defending, it is very targeted.
Arsene Wenger frowned on the sidelines and turned his head to look at Old Ray in front of the West Ham dugout, who had somewhat guessed what the other man meant.
Redknapp is trying to push Arsenal with his physicality.
West Ham's squad as a whole is younger, unlike Arsenal, whose average age is older.
As long as they press, Arsenal can only speed up the organization and increase the physical exertion.
When the time comes, the youngsters with better physical fitness will have an advantage.
In the 59th minute, Petit made a mistake when passing the ball, Lampard took the ball up front and quickly linked up with his team-mates, and Hartson passed the ball again with his back, and Lampard pumped it with his feet.
The quality of the shot from distance was so high that it almost broke the Arsenal goal.
'Seaman couldn't get past him, but Lampard's long-range shot went just over the bar.
'Arsenal have to be careful, the attack on West Ham is very strong.
"Yes, West Ham stepped up their pressing in the second half, Arsenal were obviously a little panicked when they passed the ball, and they had to hold their ground or they would fall into West Ham's trap."
After the re-kick-off at the back.
Seaman quickly threw the ball in front of him, and Vieira first knocked it to Boulder, who took the ball and ran forward.
Yoon Wright rushed up to force the scramble and was forced through by Boulder.
Berkovic hurried to fill in the position, and Boulder immediately gave it to the front.
Overmars ran down the middle when he received the ball, and he completely mobilized the opposition's defence with one shot.
Seeing that Guti and Lin Supo have been cruising in the back line, West Ham's defenders did not dare to be too careless and went over to make up for the defense.
Potts himself was chasing behind, he was not as fast as Overmars, and he couldn't catch up with the Dutchman, and Pierce saw it and gritted his teeth and rushed towards Overmars.
That's when Overmars made a pass.
When Lin Supo ran into the penalty area, Ferdinand decisively gave up Guti and rushed into the penalty area with Lin Supo.
His speed was a little faster than Lin Supo's.
The two men rushed to the small penalty area together, and when they were almost there, it was Ferdinand who was half a body ahead.
The defender squeezed his body and stuck in front of Lin Supo.
Although he couldn't squeeze Lin Supo away, he used his body to block the connection between Lin Supo and the ball.
Escorted the ball all the way into the six-yard box, allowing Heathrop to successfully press the ball under him.
"Ferdinand has made a meritorious service."
"He was very calm when defending this time, knowing that his body might not be able to fight, so he used his speed to get the position first, and escorted the ball to the goalkeeper at the last time."
"Yes, the defender is very calm."
Both Director Zhang and Duan Xuan emphasized the point of calmness.
Fans in front of the TV think so too.
Why?
Even if the national team is in its prime, it is difficult for players to stay calm when defending.
Just like Ferdinand's ball just now, the defenders of the Chinese team were stuck in front of Lin Supo, and they basically kicked the ball out of bounds with a big kick.
It's hard to get the ball to the goalkeeper with the same calm as Rio Ferdinand.
There's a corner kick missing, and the fans can see it.
That's why I feel like this.
Sometimes it's not necessarily that the players are not calm.
The main thing is that the Chinese fans put too much pressure on the players.
The more the golden generation is now, the more face-saving it is, and it dare not disappoint the fans.
I hold the ball to the goalkeeper and there is a chance that I will make a mistake.
Bigfoot clearances are 100 per cent capable of kicking the ball out of bounds, so it's no surprise that China's defenders usually make that choice.
West Ham restarted the game and then organised again.
However, their attacking pace was much slower than in the first half.
Pressing is always a double-edged sword, especially when the whole team is involved together.
In the rush to Arsenal just now, they spent a lot of energy, but now they can't keep up with the physical strength when attacking, so they can only keep passing the ball back and forth in the backfield and take a little rest.
But Lin Supo disagreed.
Lin Supo has been pressing frantically in the West Ham half.
Lin Supo doesn't even care if he can get the ball or not, I'm just chasing.
The set that West Ham used on Arsenal just now was all returned by Lin Supo.
In the 66th minute, Yoon Pierce misplaced a pass and hit Lin Supo's foot, although the ball bounced towards Mark Keller.
Lin Supo rushed up and knocked Keller away with one shoulder, and successfully took the ball.
The Arsenal players, who had been following the pressure nearby, attacked again.
Except for Lin Su Po.
There are also wingers and forward Guti on the left and right, and West Ham instantly formed a 4-5 at the back.
Although West Ham has one more in numbers, the offense and defense are completely unequal, even 3 to 5 is a test for defense, let alone one more person 4 to 5.
Lin Supo took the ball to the right side for the first time, and after Ray Parol received the ball, he rushed to the penalty area with the ball.
Prepare to flank into the West Ham penalty area.
Steve Lomas kept falling back, keeping his center of gravity down and defending carefully, and Parloer suddenly activated the bottom and then kicked back the ball.
Rio Ferdinand was keen to reach out and touch the ball.
Although he didn't block it, he changed the passing route.
By the time Guti chased the ball down the right flank, Ferdinand had already gone to defend Lin Supo.
Guti didn't have much on the right side either, and simply crossed from the right.
Smack-
The cross of the ball flew into the penalty area with obvious mutual exchanges, Lin Supo started it as soon as possible, and Ferdinand started it faster than him, so it can be said that he deliberately started it early.
Lin Supo didn't look good.
He stepped up his pace, and after running two steps before he was near the landing point, he jumped forward with his right foot.
Ferdinand, who didn't expect Lin Supo to jump so far in advance, raised his head.
It's as if you don't get to the three-step line and you start running the three-step basket early.
He saw Lin Supo gliding in the air, yes, gliding.
Seeing that there is still some distance from the ball, it is another air waist and abdomen force.
Lin Supo's body moved forward a little again, and then leaned back fiercely.
Bang –
Lin Supo headed the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal.
But this time the power was too great, the starting position was not good, and the position of the touch was not well controlled.
After a loud noise, the ball hit the goal again.
Seeing this scene, Hislop was already scolding his mother in his heart.
Sure enough, just as Heatrop had thought, the ball hit the goal and bounced, successfully tricking him into the middle of the net.
"Super Forest!"
"Super Forest!"
"Super Forest!"
Highbury Field resounded with earth-shattering cheers.
Lin Supo was hugged by Guti before he landed.
"Lin Supo!"
"It's Lin Supo again!"
"Lin Supo's header this time is still very beautiful."
"He's a little slower than Ferdinand in terms of speed, so Lin Supo jumped early this time."
"Ferdinand, who is completely defenseless, can't keep up with the jump no matter how much he wants to, especially in the air, Lin Supo's time in the air is a bit exaggerated, and he completely relies on his super physical fitness to create this opportunity."
"Hehe, Lin Supo looks thin, and he still has a lot of meat when he takes off his clothes."
"Yes, Lin Supo regularly exercises and pays more attention to his diet, so he has such a strong explosive power, even in basketball games, it is rare to see such an exaggerated stagnation."
