"Podolsky"

"He did it!"

"The ball is in!"

"One to zero!"

In less than five minutes into the game, Arsenal penetrated Leicester City's goal with a picturesque pass!

After the goal, Prince Porti opened his arms excitedly, rushed to the corner flag area, and came to a passionate kneeling.

After getting up, he grabbed the camera next to him with both hands and roared at the camera:

“Come On！”

Opening the scoring in the final was an opportunity for Podolski to prove himself.

Moving to Arsenal last season, Podolski made 33 Premier League appearances, scoring 11 goals and providing nine assists.

However, due to his monotonous characteristics, coupled with the rise of young wingers in the team, he has become a regular rotation role this season.

There have only been 20 Premier League appearances, with only 14 of them starting.

Even though the goal efficiency was good, eight goals were scored.

However, this season, Podolski is no longer Arsene Wenger's main option in attack.

Had it not been for Theo Walcott's season reimbursement, Oxlade-Chamberlain's injury, and the absence of a left-winger, he would not have been able to start such a crucial game as the FA Cup final.

However, he also made his contribution in Arsenal's journey to the FA Cup final.

Three goals in four games, plus the opening goal in this game, his goal efficiency in the FA Cup reached four goals in five games!

Grasping the opportunity to score shortly after the opening period, he lived up to Arsene Wenger's trust.

It is enough to prove that Prince Porti, who is nearly 30 years old, can still contribute to Arsenal!

And this goal, both for Arsenal and for the fans, is undoubtedly a dream start!

They didn't expect that Leicester City, which was praised by the media as the "Championship hegemon", would be so vulnerable?

The Arsenal fans in the stands cheered and excited.

Leicester City fans, on the other hand, looked at the Arsenal players who were celebrating excitedly on the field in a daze, and they were a little confused.

What's the situation?

Just five minutes into the game, and then conceding a goal?

You know, Leicester City have conceded the fewest goals in the entire Championship.

After 46 league games in the whole season, only 30 goals have been conceded!

Seven goals less than Burnley, who have conceded the second-fewest goals!

Especially in the second half of the league, Leicester City have often been able to keep a clean sheet against their opponents.

But now, in what could be the most important game of the season, Arsenal broke through the defence with just a few passes in just five minutes?

Are we careless, or are Arsenal too strong?

Could it be that this is the attack of the Premier League giants?!

Such doubts also appeared in the minds of Leicester City generals.

They looked at each other, as if they hadn't recovered from the goal they had just conceded.

You must know that in the Championship, which is full of rough brothers and fierce confrontation, except for Leicester City, there are few teams that can play such a smooth combination.

And this game is the first time since 2004 that Leicester City and Arsenal have met again in ten years.

After ten years, the players of the two teams have long been replaced.

Therefore, the only way to get to know each other is by studying each other's game footage and highlights.

Therefore, this led to Leicester City's lack of understanding of Arsenal's tactical play, so Arsenal knocked a slap at the beginning!

Strictly speaking, Leicester City are a team that is strong in attack and weak in defence.

The reason why there are few goals conceded is simply Leicester City's strong attacking firepower, which to a certain extent masks the team's defensive problems.

The team's two starting central defenders, Morgan and Moore, are the kind of centre-backs who are excellent at frontal defence and interception, but slow to tackle and turn.

Most of the Championship teams use long passes and hanging tactics, or crosses from the wings, and go directly to the center of the center with a high ball.

This, of course, does not threaten Morgan and Moore, who have excellent air defense.

However, once you encounter a technical flow team like Arsenal with a small range of passes, the problem of slow central defenders is exposed!

In addition, Giroud's fulcrum big center forward attracts the defense of two central defenders, giving the forward midfielder space and time to pass the ball calmly.

Although it is a dead man.

However, as the core of the frontcourt organization of the former Real Madrid and German national team, the passing ability of the dog is completely ranked among the top five in the world.

During the Real Madrid period, there were top scorers such as Ronaldo and Benzema, and the number of assists he had alone in two seasons even exceeded the total number of assists of Barcelona's Xavi and Iniesta!

During that time, he was even hailed as the world's No. 1 striker!

After arriving at Arsenal last summer for a hefty transfer fee, he quickly integrated into the team and showed his skills at his feet in the Premier League.

And Marty James and Danny Drinkwater in the midfield were also a little careless, not noticing that this guy who looked languishing and had heavy dark circles under his eyes actually passed the ball so decisively and sharply!

Although there is some preparation for the difference in strength between the two teams.

However, Ling Feng also did not expect that in just one offensive round, Arsenal would score.

It is worthy of Arsenal under Arsene Wenger, and the transmission is picturesque!

However, Arsenal scored first, but it did not surprise him.

The strength of the team and the individual ability of the players are there, and they are not so easily erased.

Conceding the ball first may also be a good thing.

This will make the Leicester City players wake up from their dream of being invincible in the Championship and take the game seriously!

As long as they focus on the game and put their heart and soul into the game, they still have a chance!

After all, the game has only just started for five minutes.

。。。

Watching the disciples resolutely implement their tactics, taking the lead in grabbing the start as expected before the game, Wenger, who was sitting in the coach's seat, also smiled slightly.

He then stood up and applauded the disciples' performance.

On the other side of the coach's bench, Pearson frowned, turned his head and watched the entire replay of the goal played on his laptop with assistant coach Walsh, and reviewed:

"This ball, Nugent's ball dragged on."

"You see where they stand when they go up at the same time, they seem to be consciously blocking the receiving routes of Ling and Riyad, allowing the midfielder to pass the ball to the left."

'It was probably deliberately arranged by Arsene Wenger, who knew that the only people up front who could threaten the ball were Ling Feng and Riyad Mahrez. So, relax the space on Nugent's side and let it get the ball more"

"We should have switched places with Riyad Mahrez and then dropped back to get the ball."

After the discussion, Pearson got up from the dugout and went to the sidelines.

"Riad!"

As the Arsenal players were just finishing their celebrations and were walking back, Pearson beckoned Mahrez on the right to the sidelines and made tactical arrangements for him.

Then, Mahrez, who had been ordered, came to Ling Feng in the middle and conveyed the tactical instructions to the team's midfield brain:

"The boss told us to switch positions from time to time and then drop back to catch the ball."

Hearing this, Ling Feng nodded, indicating that he understood.

Dropping back to receive the ball and adding a spot in midfield is already a regular change for Leicester when dealing with pressure from a strong team.

"Guys, the game has just begun!"

While encouraging his teammates loudly, Ling Feng did not forget to tell the two midfielders behind him:

"Danny, Marty, can give that number 11 a little bit more body and make it impossible for him to pass the ball so easily. And that number nineteen."

And the two of them also nodded in understanding.

The picture of the exchange between the three also appeared on the big screen of the stadium.

The Blue Fox fans at the scene suddenly let out a burst of cheers when they looked at Ling Feng's serious and handsome face.

In their opinion, Ling Feng was the biggest contributor to their journey to the FA Cup final.

Under his leadership, three Premier League teams – Stoke City, Chelsea and Hull City – have fallen at their feet.

They have an inexplicable self-confidence, as long as Ling Feng is on the field, they will not lose!

After teeing off again, Ling Feng retreated to ask for the ball.

And the midfielder's drinking brother passed the ball without hesitation.

Due to the retreat of the position, the Arsenal players who pressed Ling Feng changed from the central midfielder Ramsey to the dog in the midfield.

Compared to his offensive talent, Egou's defensive ability and pressing enthusiasm are not worth mentioning.

Ling Feng just played a one-two with Brother Drinking Water, and then easily got rid of his pressure, turned around, and held the ball in the direction of Arsenal's goal.

In Leicester City's 4231 tactics, the timing of the attack is basically decided by Ling Feng.

Therefore, the moment Ling Feng turned around, it was the moment when Leicester City switched from defense to offense!

Without giving Ramsey a chance to step forward and scramble, Ling Feng kicked straight to the right, and then kicked it with his feet.

And the [explosion] of up to 89 made his whole person rush out like a sharp arrow!

As he rubbed shoulders with Ramsey, the latter couldn't help but exclaim in his heart:

"How is it so fast?!"

In amazement, Ramsey gritted his teeth and immediately turned to chase after him.

In the face of the fast-rolling ball, Mahrez, who leaned sideways on left-back Gibbs, stopped lightly with his left foot, and then pushed the ball to Ling Feng, who was inserted.

Receiving the ball again, there was no Arsenal player within three meters of Ling Feng's side to interfere, and there was already room for passing!

Instead of looking up, he swung his right leg violently and unleashed an arcing diagonal pass.

With a "bang", the ball burst through the air with a strong spin and flew towards the area on the left side of the Arsenal penalty area.

Nugent, the left winger who started early, arrived at the first point of the ball before right-back Sagna returned to the defense.

However, his stopping skills were not as good as Mahrez's.

When he stretched out his leg to stop the ball at his feet, Arsenal right-back Sagna was already in position, blocking him and blocking the angle of the cross.

Arteta, on the other hand, also helped defend in place.

Just as Nugent was thinking about whether to break through to the outside, force a cross from the bottom, or cut inside to shoot, he heard a shout from the right:

"David!"

Following the prestige, seeing Ling Feng who was inserting at high speed in the middle, Nugent did not hesitate and sent a cross directly from the middle of the two Arsenal players to the outside of the penalty area.

With Mertesacker in the box attracted by Vardy and Ramsey not yet in place, another Arsenal centre-back, Koscielny, stepped forward to block Ling Feng's shot angle with his body.

And just before he rushed out of the penalty area with his hands behind his back, Ling Feng greeted the ball with a putt!

'Nugent back to the middle'

"Ling Feng.."

"Shoot!"

The inside of the foot tightly wrapped the ball and made a "bang" sound.

In the next second, the ball flew straight past the left side of Koscielny's head and straight to the right side of the goal.

The ball wasn't very fast, but the angles were tricky.

It looked like it was about to slide out, but with an inward arc, it turned back into the goal!

Fortunately, goalkeeper Fabianski was very focused and prepared for Ling Feng's long-range shot in advance.

I saw him suddenly turn sideways and pounce to the right, blocking the ball from the bottom line with his fingertips in mid-air.

Seeing this, many Blue Fox fans in the stands held their heads in unison, revealing unbelievable expressions.

And Ling Feng's eyes also flashed with a touch of regret.

In his opinion, the kick was already very good.

It may have been a little interfered with by Koscielny, so he didn't dare to exert too much force and didn't play fast enough.

This wave of extremely threatening attacks caused a burst of exclamations from fans on both sides in the stadium.

Immediately, tens of thousands of Blue Fox fans in the stadium gave warm applause for this wave of attack.

"Ling, well done!"

"That's it!"

“Come On！ Foxes! ”

Even Pearson, who was on the sidelines, applauded.

This wave of attacks is enough to prove that Leicester City has enough ability to threaten Arsenal's goal!

They Leicester City are not soft persimmons that are easily kneaded!

Raising his hand to send Nugent the first praise of the game, Ling Feng came to the corner flag area on the right side, ready to take a corner kick.

Set-piece tactics are the main means by which a weak team creates a threat against a strong team.

Therefore, Leicester City's two central defenders have hit Arsenal's penalty area.

However, when Ling Feng's corner kick flew to the crowd near the penalty spot in the penalty area, it was jumped up by Mertesacker, who was nearly two meters tall, and flew the ball out as soon as possible.

The ball landed at the feet of Cazorla just outside the penalty area and he slotted it into a wide open field on the left before Drinkwater could get on it.

And the left winger Podolski is plugged in at high speed, taking the ball and pushing forward frantically!

Meanwhile, Ramsey and Dog are frantically pushing forward in an attempt to hit a wave of counter-attacks.

In just ten seconds, Arsenal took advantage of the emptiness in the backfield caused by Leicester City's corner kick tactics to form a three-on-two counterattack situation!

Seeing this, Ling Feng's eyes froze, and while running back desperately, he loudly reminded his teammates in the backcourt:

"Stick it up! Don't let him cross! ”

With two centre-backs already on the move, only two quicker full-backs were left behind.

Faced with Podolski's wide break, right-back De Wright immediately chased back, pulling Podolski's shirt in his hand and forcing him to lose possession.

Left-back Schlupp, on the other hand, was quick to recycle the middle to prevent Podolski from passing the ball down the middle.

It's just that Podolski's physical confrontation and ball control are good.

Although the pace of advancement has been slowed down.

But he suddenly made a fake facsimile buckle under his feet, which made De Wright's whole body shake, and then broke through from the outside!

At the same time, Ramsey, who is full of physical strength, has already plugged in at high speed from the middle road!

Looking up into the middle, Podolski didn't hesitate to cross with a low left-footed ball.

The whole counter-attacking routine is exactly the same as Leicester City's return pass from the side to the front of the penalty area two minutes ago!

At this time, Marty James, who had been following behind Ramsey, saw that Ramsey stepped forward to receive the ball and could form a long-range shot, so he immediately took a tactical foul, reached out from behind to pull the back of Ramsey's jersey, and then pulled hard.

"Ahh

With a scream, Ramsey fell to the ground.

In the next second, the referee's whistle sounded!
