075 Gunners, Young Guards
……
Norwich boss Farke was so angry about the decision that he kept complaining to the fourth official.
The fourth official reported the matter directly to the referee through the headset.
The referee put his hand in his pocket, took out a few digs, and finally pulled out a yellow card and handed it to Falke.
"Falke gets a yellow card for protesting!"
"As is customary, this kind of questioning of the referee is usually straightforward."
"The referee has shown mercy!"
Gugu Sports live broadcast room.
Director Zhan said with some sympathy: "Giant teams are indeed more likely to benefit than ordinary teams in terms of refereeing, and I hope that Norwich players will not be affected by this decision." ”
"Norwich are still on the dominant side in terms of the current situation on the pitch, and that advantage will be maintained at least until the end of the first half,"
"Now, it's up to Arsenal to withstand the next ten minutes."
On the field, the game continues.
Norwich City went on to lay siege to Arsenal.
Corner kick up front.
Norwich midfielder Mike Lynn drove the ball to the back of the box and immediately caused chaos.
The arc was wide and went around the front of the penalty area, and Norwich striker Dowell, who was ambushed at the back post, made an accelerated dive and hit the ball.
Boom!
The ball shot out like a cannonball, smashed into the crossbar in the upper left corner, and bounced off the bottom line!
The audience was amazed.
Norwich City went on to win corners.
"Beam!! Luck wasn't on Norwich's side! ”
"The ball hits the crossbar!"
'Norwich almost scored.'
"The crossbar helped Arsenal escape again!"
"This ball, Zheng Yaxin can't do anything about it, he tried his best to stretch his arm but couldn't touch the ball, fortunately, this ball didn't go in!"
"The pace of the pitch was fast, and the Norwich players seemed to be holding their breath and had to score a goal against Arsenal!"
"Arsenal is somewhat powerless because of the lack of boots, so they can only struggle to support it."
Norwich took another corner, which was picked up by Zheng Yaxin.
After getting the ball back, Zheng Yaxin did not rush to launch a counterattack, but held the ball in his arms and motioned all the players to press forward and stabilize the rhythm.
"Zheng Yaxin showed a composure that did not match his age!"
"It's like a needle in the sea!"
Director Zhan explained, and couldn't help but praise Zheng Yaxin every day.
He has been a die-hard Liverpool fan for 30 years, and he is also a die-hard fan of the national football team for 30 years.
For Zheng Yaxin's birth, he has always praised him.
However, this kind of praising Zheng Yaxin's style when he seized the opportunity also made the fans watching the live broadcast can't help but joke: If Director Zhan continues like this, sooner or later he will abandon Liverpool and become a hardcore fan of our factory.
on the field.
Zheng Yaxin held the ball and motioned to his teammates to move forward.
He's made sure that when he's not using "live action", there are a lot of shots he can't prevent.
For example, refraction, close-range bursts, and shots with routines.
Therefore, in the face of today's unfavorable scene, it is up to him to stabilize the scene.
Otherwise, if the opponent keeps getting a chance to shoot, there is a high probability that the goal will not be able to hold.
In fact, Arsenal have already conceded a goal in this game.
Fortunately, the referee in this game was very good, blowing Norwich's first goal, saving his clean sheet bonus and post-match attribute point reward.
That's great!
Zheng Yaxin held the ball and rubbed it for more than 20 seconds.
It wasn't until the referee looked impatient and looked over frequently, and the Arsenal players all ran to the midfield, that a big foot drove the ball out.
Players from both sides immediately scramble for the ball in midfield.
The ball flew around in the midfield, control changed hands repeatedly,
In this way, it is natural that there will be no threat to the goal.
This is exactly what Zheng Yaxin wants to see.
The rain was still falling, and the slippery turf seriously affected the performance of the players on both sides. The ball was kicked off the touchline in the midfield position.
The clock was fast approaching 40 minutes into the first half.
Under Norwich's continuous rapid attacks, the players are already a little out of breath, and the scramble is not as fierce as at the beginning.
The Arsenal players felt the pressure drop and the situation began to become controllable.
Aubameyang, who had not touched the ball in the front, also began to retreat to the midfield frequently to receive the ball, and then bury his head in the Norwich penalty area, trying to dodge the angle and force his feet to hit the goal.
However, Aubameyang's crosshairs and luck were too bad, either shooting directly into the corner flag area, or before he could lift his foot, the ball was broken.
Seeing their striker pulling his hips like this, Arsenal fans couldn't help but let out bursts of boos.
Aubameyang is unfazed.
Still go your own way.
He desperately needs to score goals and put in a good performance to find a home for himself in the winter window.
But that's the way it is on the pitch, the more anxious you are, the more you can't score.
Once the ball was back at the feet of the Norwich players, they tried to attack, but the strikers couldn't get their hands on the ball after the through ball penetrated the Arsenal defence.
After the ball was passed to the front court and landed, there was an acceleration forward rush, which was easily picked up by Zheng Yaxin.
Zheng Yaxin then passed the ball to the starting left-back of the game, Japanese Kenhiro Tomiyasu.
Tomiyasu looked up and observed, but found no good gaps, so he passed the ball back to Zheng Yaxin again.
This scene was immediately noticed by Director Zhan.
"Zheng Yaxin and Tomiyasu Kenhiro passed the ball to each other."
"It's not a rare meeting!"
"The two were rivals three days ago, each of them in the second round of the Asian round of the World Preliminary Tournament, representing China and Japan respectively, fighting to the death, but now they are teammates, fighting for a common goal (Arsenal winning)."
Coach Zhan knows the information of every Arsenal player on the pitch inside out.
"Tomiyasu is 188cm tall, which is the highest height of any full-back in the Premier League, and he has a very good sense of defensive positioning, but his skills are average."
"Because Kolasinac, Chambers, Cedric, and Holding all played in the last round of the World Preliminary Tournament, Arteta made a significant adjustment to the back line in this game, and of the five defenders who started against Manchester City in the last round, only Holding continued to start this round, while Tomiyasu got the opportunity to start as a right-back."
As a result, the average age of Arsenal's starting eleven in this game is only 22.9 years old! Very young! ”
'The oldest is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is 32 years old, at least seven years older than any other Arsenal player on the pitch! is fifteen years older than the youngest Zheng Yaxin! ”
"Zheng Yaxin is currently only 17 years and 36 days old."
'From that point of view, Arteta also has an objective reason why he doesn't want to see Aubameyang, because he is so old.
"Arsenal's starting four for this game are Takehiro Tomiyasu 22, Ben White 23, Gabriel 24 and Tierney 23."
'Of the midfielders, Odegaard is 22, Bukayo Saka is 20, Lokonga is 21, Pepe is 25, Niles is 23 and Smith Roh, who was the substitute for this game, he is only 20 years old.
"This is a pure army of young gunslingers!"
"It is foreseeable that this young team, after the baptism of this season's championship, will have a bright future!"
"Come to think of it, the average age of Arsenal's starting lineup (22.9 years old) will definitely make the majority of Gunners fans excited and unable to sleep."
Coach Zhan introduced the information of the Arsenal players on the field in an envious tone.
I really don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.
If Arteta chooses to replace 32-year-old Aubameyang with 20-year-old Nketiah in the second half, the average age of Arsenal's starting eleven will be lowered by more than one year to 21.7 years old!
What a horrible age it is!
The core lineup for the next decade!
Such an Arsenal has a bright future!
Such an arsenal is invincible!
