Chapter 33: Hat-trick
For the Celtics.
They certainly won't be willing to lose at home.
If they are to progress from the group, their most direct chance is to pick up points against Arsenal.
On their home turf, Celtic's players certainly don't want to disappoint their fans either.
So after the game restarts,
The Celtics launched a frantic comeback.
And what about Arsenal's side?
They weren't disrupted by their opponents' counter-attacks.
Rather, it shrank steadily into the midfield and held the key position at the same time. It also has a huge space in the opponent's backfield.
This space is like an alluring carcass, just one glance can make it the kind that will be hard to gil.
And Celtic's offense didn't create much of a threat.
The difference in strength between the two sides is here.
In the Soviet Super League, Celtic are giants, but in the Champions League, they are the role of accompanying the prince, and no one will think that they have the opportunity to make much difference in the Champions League.
In fact.
As Scottish players are also homegrown players in the Premier League.
Under the action of the huge siphon of the Premier League.
Those outstanding Scottish homegrown players have gone on to play in the Premier League and Championship.
Meantime.
The Premier League has been a huge success in commercialisation.
And what about Su Chao?
can only survive in the huge shadow of the Premier League.
The quality of the team is simply not comparable to that of the deep pockets of the Premier League.
Therefore.
In offensive means.
Celtic's tactics of pressing opponents in the league simply don't work.
So, they can only do it in the simplest way: a long-range shot or a cross from the wing.
But that's it.
The ball will soon fall to Arsenal.
Arsenal's attack is also not inked, once they have the ball, they go straight forward and attack quickly through the wings.
The scene of the game became very beautiful for a while.
The pace is flying.
The eleventh minute of the game.
Celtic midfielder Wiss Brown received the ball and was ready to shoot from distance.
As soon as he turned around and raised his foot to shoot, N'Golo Kante stepped up and stabbed the ball away.
Kante, meanwhile, took a stride between him and the football.
Wiesblaw is one hundred and eighty-eight centimeters tall.
The body looks more than a lap bigger than Kante.
But
When he leaned in and tried to squeeze Kante away with his body to regain possession, he found that the little black man had a solid center of gravity and a solid bottom set.
Under such a confrontation, he still completed the pass.
The ball was passed to the feet of Fabinho, who led the ball forward and played a through ball to the feet of Sanchez on the wing.
Fabinho passes. Sanchez!! Lots of space on the side! Three to three! Sanchez pushes forward with the ball! Counterattack! Arsenal counterattack is coming! ”
The narrators chanted when they saw this scene.
In the stands.
The shrill boos irritated everyone's eardrums.
Celtic fans stared at the stadium with boos in their mouths and a hint of desperation and luck in their eyes.
The desperation lies in the fact that the team suddenly fell into a three-on-three counterattack by the opponent.
Luckily
Even if it's three to three, you may not be able to get in, right?
'Alexis Sanchez was pushing along the right flank, he was pushing very fast, and with Sanchez, Arsenal were alive on both the left and right! Now the Celtics' defense is in an embarrassing state of taking care of one or the other/ They have to guarantee the defense against Yelo, but they can't let Sanchez go straight in! ”
The narrator's analysis certainly makes sense.
Now Arsenal are on a three-shot shot.
Left, center and right are Yelo, Kane, and Sanchez.
Now if it's one-on-one.
Whether Sanchez passes one-on-one or passes the ball to Yelo, he has a great threat, if the two of them go to sandwich Sanchez, then Yelo and Kane are two against one!
So now the Celtic defense stands out with a fallback.
The three defenders shrank into a ball almost instinctively and blocked in front of goal.
It seems to be a turtle shell.
However, such an approach makes no difference if you just raise your hand and surrender.
Sanchez was also watching his team-mate's movement as he dribbled the ball.
As he brought the ball to the edge of the box, he suddenly shook his ankle and tucked the ball into the left rib with the outside instep.
Meanwhile.
Ye Luo, who was pressing the back line to run, suddenly started and whistled past the defender.
Before the defenders could react, Ye Luo had already inserted himself behind them.
Although at this point the angle is already small.
When Ye Luo's battle was built, his right foot shot directly into the upper right corner of the goal.
The goalkeeper was again unresponsive.
The ball is so fast.
The goalkeeper's reaction time is limited after all.
When the ball rushed into the goal, he barely made a wave back.
It's just that by this time, football has already pushed the net out of a small tent
The referee's whistle also sounded at this time.
"Sanchez passes Yelo single-handedly!! Shot!!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!”
"Two to zero! Two to zero! Two to zero!! The ball is in again!! Or Yelo! It's still Ye Luo! It's always going to be Yelo! The second! He scored his second goal of the game and his second goal in the Champions League this season!! ”
The commentators exclaimed.
Before the game, everyone expected that Yelo would go all out in pursuit of goals in this game.
But who would have thought.
The game only started for ten minutes.
He's already scored twice.
In the midst of cheers.
The Arsenal players hugged each other excitedly in celebration.
A two-0 lead.
In just ten minutes, he led by two goals.
This Champions League game was much easier than they expected.
And such an ease is thanks to Ye Luo's play.
They believe.
With a two-goal lead, Celtic will certainly not be able to stop any comeback.
In fact, this is also true.
Arsenal had the upper hand in the next game.
Celtic were completely pressed back into the box.
And Arsenal, for their part, did not launch a fierce attack, but controlled the ball and the tempo.
On the one hand, a two-goal lead made Arsenal's players not in a hurry to attack.
On the other hand.
Controlling the ball and slowing down the tempo is also saving your energy.
After all, for the players, not everyone is a physical monster like Ye Luo.
If you can win the game with minimal effort.
Why not?
The whole game seemed to enter Arsenal's half-time offensive and defensive drills.
Under such a dissipation.
The fighting spirit of the Celtics players has basically been exhausted.
And they know it.
The game entered the rhythm of Arsenal, and he was powerless.
However, Arsenal did not give up on scoring.
Before the end of the first half.
Arsenal suddenly changed the tempo.
A cross from the wing was clinging to the turf to the penalty spot, and Yelo pushed a left-footed shot from near the penalty spot to push the ball into the corner with precision
Three to zero!!
The first half wasn't over yet.
Ye Luo had already scored a hat-trick.
