Chapter 64: The opening fast attack
It became 11 to 10 on the field!
The most important thing is to fall behind by another goal!
The equation was forced back to the midfield.
After all, football is a sport of 11 people on both sides, and when one person's running range is missing, the only way to do this is to let teammates come back to fill the gap.
However, that's not all,
In the 43rd minute, the veteran captain K6 also made a mistake in defense, and he blocked the opponent's cross into his own goal in front of the small penalty area.
Rennes leads 2:0!!
Watching his opponent celebrate wildly on the sidelines, the equation fell silent.
This scene seemed familiar, and he suddenly remembered that Arsenal would have lost 3-1 to Rennes on this away side.
And his presence did not stop this process from happening!
Until the end of the first half,
Arsenal seem to have lost their way and lost the initiative.
Back in the dressing room, manager Arsene Wenger didn't blame anyone, but was seriously planning for the second-half changes.
First of all, with one less player, this score must be kept.
Only then will they have a chance to turn the tables back when they return to their home stadium.
As a result, the team has no forward midfield, and all sweeps in the middle and back, blocking the opponent's passing attack.
At halftime, in the Sky Sports studio,
Mourinho was invited to do a live broadcast commentary today, he is idle at home, and he happens to have time to make money.
On the opposite seat, there is also a Manchester United legend - Patrice Evra.
Patrice Evra raised his hand, pointed to the table and said solemnly: "We can see that Arsenal's squad was seriously tested today, they did not bring in players in the winter window and then they were punished by a team from Ligue 1. โ
"The race for the top four in the Premier League is in the final race and it's hard for me to have any hope for Arsenal like this! There is a good chance that they will fall behind again. โ
Mourinho was silent for a moment,
He felt like Patrice Evra was a little too concerned about Arsenal's future......
However, Mourinho has a different opinion, saying: "I think the main reason is that the red card at the beginning changed the situation on the field. Also, the goal that was blown away, the linesman's offside decision, I also think it's worth discussing. โ
'I've been in charge of the Premier League for a couple of seasons and I'm already aware of the overall quality of Arsenal, they are strong and have amazing players.
'Even if Arsenal's fitness drops, they have a good chance of beating Rennes. But alas, some small details ruined this game. โ
Evra frowned, obviously disagreeing with Mu Shuai's words, he was about to speak again,
But the host suddenly said, "Okay." We'll have a final summary of the game later. Now let's take a look at the video replay of the first half of the game......"
Soon, however, the second half of the game began, and both sides were back on the field.
Rennes' home fans were already cheering from the stands and they would be thrilled to beat a strong team from the Premier League!
Now, with one man less and two goals behind, Arsenal can only choose to shrink their defence.
During this period, Arsenal seized a counter-attacking opportunity,
Saka swooped forward on the side of the road and then got on the end of Xhaka's long ball.
Saka dribbled resolutely into the opponent's ribs,
Then, when the defender was grabbing, there was a sudden pass of an inverted triangle!
Wren's return line was broken through in an instant!
however
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, a striker who rushed up from behind, stumbled and stabbed the ball out with one kick.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang misses a great chance to score!
Arsenal lost 2-0......
So, in the sky studio.
Patrice Evra sighed and concluded: "Saka is still not decisive enough, he is too lacking in confidence. For the last chance to counter-attack, he should have hit the ball himself in the box instead of passing to Aubameyang in an inverted triangle. Arsenal miss an away goal! โ
"In this game, the Oriental people are also in poor form. Professor Arsene Wenger didn't realise that the Oriental should not have adapted to the midfield position, and he was completely limited by a Ligue 1 team, which is why he did not score. It turns out that he still has a lot of room for improvement. โ
however
Mourinho had a different opinion and immediately said: "No! My journalist friend told me that there was a liquidated damages clause in the party's contract. If I manage the team next time, I will definitely not hesitate to sign him! โ
"Fang is a two-legged player, an absolute scorer. It's just that now, limited by the team's squad and the needs of manager Arsene Wenger, he has not yet shown his true strength! โ
But
Patrice Evra naturally did not agree with Mourinho's statement, and he immediately began to refute it again.
The host next to him was also happy to see it, and he didn't forget to arch the fire.
And after the game,
Arsenal suffered Waterloo away from home, which caused quite a stir.
The extreme fans of the Gunners are back on the move.
The situation has become dangerous!
If Arsenal can't turn the score back at home after that, then they will be met with overwhelming doubts!
And the second round against Rennes is just two days away!
During this period, the whole Arsenal team worked hard to prepare for this game, and everyone wanted to defend Arsenal's home dignity!
March 4.
As soon as the game opens,
The position of the equation is still to kick the forward midfielder. Xhaka kicks off first.
Seeing Saka cut forward on the right flank, Xhaka immediately sent in a long ball.
Saka slowed down abruptly as he ran, then cleverly used a move to stop and break through his opponent's defence and cut into the middle.
The equation ran fast and went in the direction of Saka.
When he received Saka's pass, he turned forward, but a midfielder immediately came to defend him from the side.
The equation suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and the tip of the shoe touched the ball.
I saw the football roll under the opponent's crotch!
He wiped his body in a flash, and completed the crotch wearing in a chic manner!
The audience instantly boiled.
Then, after the breakthrough, the equation chooses to pass the ball and collide with Lacazette not far away.
At this moment, Rennes' backline instantly became full of holes!
When the equation receives a pass from Lacazette,
He's been in the middle of the box quickly!
The defenders didn't even grab his red jersey!
Goalkeeper Gobick's face changed, and he hurriedly pounced, trying to prevent it.
However, it was too late!
The equation doesn't stop the ball, and shoots violently!!
Bang,
The soccer ball flew up like a cannon bore, barely spinning at all, and lifted the inside net in a straight line!
Wow โ
The entire Emirates Stadium shook suddenly, and people screamed in amazement!
Just two minutes into the game, Arsenal scored!
1:2 on aggregate!!
However, the equation was not a little happy, quickly ran into the goal,
He returned to the center circle with the football!!
His teammates also knew what he meant, and instead of celebrating, they returned to their positions and prepared for kickoff!
On Rennes' side, the players looked at each other, but they sensed that something was wrong.
Sure enough, shortly after kick-off, Arsenal grabbed the ball again and launched a quick attack.
Rennes were so frightened that they quickly retreated, and the central defender sacrificed himself to save and cut Lacazette out of the ground!
But that's okay!
Arsenal came back two minutes later, pressing the opponent hard!!
In the thirty-fifth minute,
Xhaka crosses from the left flank, Lacazette gets the ball in the box,
And the equation grabbed the second landing point, stabbed cleanly, and broke the ten-finger mark of goalkeeper Gobick again!!
โgoooooooooall๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผโ
"The ball went in โโโโ"
"In the thirty-sixth minute, the equation scored twice!!"
"Arsenal equaliser on aggregate!!"
