The poorest Premier League star, the whole network begs for money

Chapter 120 Sudden Transformation
Soon, the second half began, and the lineups of both sides remained unchanged.

Because Arsenal has sent the strongest lineup in the ball, and head coach Wenger has also done enough pre-match work.Whether they can win Paris depends only on the performance of the players on the field and how lucky they are today.

However, who knows that after the start of the game,

Paris Saint-Germain suddenly shrunk their formation, and the pressing was not as intense as in the first half.

In the second half, it was Arsenal's kick-off. Everyone was a little surprised to see the opponent's sudden retreat.

It turned out that they were anticipating the rhythm of the second half in the locker room,

As a result, who knows, Paris actually made such an unexpected choice.

However, Arsenal passed the football through halftime, and the formation of Paris came up and grabbed it.

Henry saw this scene in the studio, and he also felt surprised and said: "This kind of situation is really rare. Coach Pochettino didn't let the team maintain the pressing intensity of the first half."

"Rarely chose a defensive strategy."

"It's hard to imagine that this is the style of play in Paris."

Ron thought for a while, and then said: "It's really rare. However, I think the head coach Pochettino should really want to win this game, so he chose this tactic. Maybe they are hiding a A trick to win the game.”

At this point, Equation felt like there were few passing lanes in front of him.

The space in the half court became very narrow,
The people of Greater Paris paid for their active running, making them almost all around.

This is familiar bus tactics.

I didn't expect that such a luxurious lineup as Paris could choose such a pragmatic tactic.

In an important cup game like the Champions League, it is the wisest decision to play a defensive counterattack.If the team can't even do a good job in defense, it has no chance to reach the final of the cup.

This is a recognized fact in recent years.

Especially after the Paris national team won the World Cup by defense in 2018, many teams that won the cup relied on defense to reach the end.

Of course, this is also related to Barcelona's pass control football falling to the altar.Now if you want to win the cup, only efficiency is king, and the possession rate alone is not enough to win the championship trophy.

Head coach Wenger saw this scene, his face fell into thinking.In important cup matches, we are not afraid of the weak team setting up the bus, but we are afraid of the strong team bending their noble posture and choosing to defend and counterattack pragmatically.

This is definitely a big problem for Arsenal's pass and cut cooperation. If they can't solve it, it will be difficult for them to survive the knockout rounds.

Assistant coach Arteta also frowned, realizing the difficulties they were about to encounter.

"However... Paris Saint-Germain hasn't scored a goal yet, why choose to defend now?" Arteta smelled something wrong.

Wenger nodded and said: "Yes, so we have to be careful. We have to watch out for quick counter-attacks."

After speaking, Professor Wenger immediately shouted to the field, signaling the team not to rush to launch a full-scale attack and be careful of the space behind them.

And the entire Arsenal team is naturally aware of this, because if something goes wrong, there must be a monster,

Paris had obviously fought against them before, but now it suddenly shrinks, it must have other plans,
Therefore, Arsenal did not press all of them, and chose to invest in a small number of offensive players, trying to let excellent frontcourt players score goals with a flash of inspiration.

But in this way, Arsenal received less support in the frontcourt, and they couldn't help but feel a little tricky facing Paris' bus tactics.

It is difficult for a small number of people to pose a threat to the restricted area of ​​​​Great Paris.

As a result, the football slipped around the perimeter with difficulty.Equation, Martinelli, Lacazette, and Saka just want to control the ball without making mistakes.

Because I feel that there are people from Greater Paris around me, the most important thing is that the other party has made a lot of small moves today, which has caused serious interference to them.

No. In the 60th minute, Saka tried to make a pass from the bottom on the right, but the opponent had two defenses and the football was accidentally blocked out of the sideline.

Then, Saka threw the ball in, Fang Fang received the ball with his back, and the black and hard Gaye stuck tightly behind him, pulling and pulling to prevent him from turning around and breaking through with the ball.

These actions of Gaye are very subtle and sophisticated, the referee really didn't notice,
But Equation is like installing a camera behind him, he doesn’t turn around, he just gets stuck in his position, and first resists Guye’s defensive harassment with his back,

Then, the football that fell from his feet did indeed send a precise pass to the front of the penalty area.

The football flies out of a parabola that is neither high nor low,
Lacazette's eyes lit up, and he was still thinking about whether to run to catch the throw, but he didn't expect that Equation sent such a crucial pick pass,

Lacazette turned around immediately, and before the opponent came up to defend, he volleyed the ball,
There was a loud bang.

The kick was strong and the football flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

However, Navas played superbly, and with a flying leap, he blocked the must-goal goal with one hand.

There was an uproar in the audience, and everyone felt unbelievable.

The two central defenders, including Paris, were shocked. They did not expect that their teammate Navas could fly so high and blocked the ball with one hand.

This is simply the door god!
The teammates quickly pulled Navas up on the ground, shouting excitedly, and the momentum of the defense suddenly rose.

Seeing that the goal must be blocked, Fang Fang couldn't help but put his hands on his head,
"Really, this is still the wall of sighs."

When Navas was still in Real Madrid, his nickname was Naduqiang, and he contributed a lot of superb saves, which made all Meilinger feel at ease.

After all, Navas is the main goalkeeper of the Champions League Triple Crown.

However, the ball is still on Arsenal's side, Fang Fang received the ball and tried to attack again.

but,

After Navas contributed a superb save, the momentum of Paris was suddenly lifted, the defense's attention became more concentrated, and the defense became more solid.

Ron watched the replay of the live broadcast and couldn't help sighing: "Keylor Navas is still in excellent form today, and he ruthlessly rejected Arsenal's goal. It's a pity that the pass in the equation is full of spirituality, I don't even know it How did he manage to pick such precise passes! He is a ruthless passing machine. Please forgive me for being blunt! Because until now, it is difficult for me to find another outstanding midfielder like him."

Listening to his praise, Henry couldn't help wondering if he was a bit redundant today.

This guy is even more like an Arsenal star than he is, and if he continues to tout it like this, Henry is about to wonder if this guy is stealing the show.

Henry was almost amused by this idea. After watching the replay of the goal just now, he said: "Indeed, it is obviously a wise decision for Paris to introduce Keylor Navas this season. That's why they chose to shrink their formation in the second half One of the reasons is that with Navas' strength, he can indeed guarantee that no goals will be conceded."
.
The head coach Pochettino also exclaimed after seeing this miraculous save.

He quickly applauded the players on the sidelines, then looked at the time, and prepared to give an order
Suddenly, Arsenal's offense made a mistake and Martinelli's dribbling was cut off.

Pochettino's eyes moved, and he felt that this was the time, and he quickly waved his hand to the field, indicating that the offensive is now to be launched, so as to catch Arsenal by surprise.

This is Pochettino's adjustment in the midfield, trying to break the deadlock by changing the rhythm.

Immediately, the formation of Greater Paris surged out like a tide, instantly causing a strong oppression on Arsenal's halftime.

Arsenal's defense obviously did not realize the sudden acceleration of Paris in advance, and it was a bit caught off guard for a while.

However, goalkeeper Leno reacted quickly,
He quickly fell to the ground, intercepted Mbappe's powerful low shot from the outside, and held the football firmly in his arms.

When the head coach Wenger saw this scene, he immediately became anxious, and quickly instructed his disciples to stabilize the defense on the sidelines.

Although the score is still 0:0 now,

But half the time has passed,

If another goal is lost at this time, it is likely to lose the game.

In the next 4 minutes, Paris' defense line did not retreat again, and they kept pressing Arsenal's half-court offense.

Two consecutive crosses almost made a goal.

Equation and his teammates have been tired of defending, but he did not lose his defense because of chasing the pass.

Equation is still very sober, still paying attention to the gap behind the opponent.

This time, Paris got a corner kick, Verratti took the corner kick, and then accurately found Icardi at the back point,

However, goalkeeper Leno moved quickly and slapped the ball away before Icardi could reach it.

The football crossed an arc and fell towards the penalty area.

At this time, Lacazette and Equation are on the periphery, and Lacazette is a striker. It is reasonable to stay on the periphery and wait for an opportunity to fight back.And Equation simply doesn't want to compete for the top, and his staying in the penalty area will only add confusion to his teammates. It is better to stay outside and wait for the opportunity.

After the football was shot by Leno, it happened to fall at the feet of Saka at the top of the arc. Before he was disturbed, he stabbed Lacazette not far away.

The latter was being hugged tightly by Kimpembe, and there was no chance to turn around with the ball.

Just when Lacazette was gnashing his teeth, he felt helpless, and was about to be poked by Kimpembe with his foot.

Seeing that Arsenal's quick counterattack was about to be blocked.

Between electric and flint,
Suddenly, two pink figures rushed out quickly!

One is Martinelli on the left side, and the other is the equation in the middle,
The two were as fast as red lightning, sprinting towards the hinterland of Paris respectively!

Lacazette didn't have time to be surprised, and quickly hit Kimpembe with his back. After hitting the space, he passed the football to the nearest Martinelli.

And the speed of the equation is faster, showing a straight red line, straight into the hinterland of Paris!
Martinelli got the pass, and before the opponent had time to catch up, he decisively sent a pass to the frontcourt.

He used all his strength in this pass,

The football rolled quickly against the turf, rubbing constantly, and suddenly slid out a beautiful oblique arc in the final stage, chasing the No. 10 jersey and rolling away.

At the same time, because the football drew an arc, it perfectly avoided the two defensive players.

Arsenal formed a 1-on-2 situation in the frontcourt.

Fang Fang turned his head and glanced behind him.Once he gritted his teeth, it was not enough, his own speed was not enough,
The ball was barely received.
You must do your best!
His breathing was almost on fire, and he had already exerted all his strength.
In the next second, under everyone's amazed eyes,

I saw Arsenal No. 10 suddenly speeding up again,
With an astonishing footstep frequency, he suddenly ran out of the afterimage, leaving Meunier and Silva behind in an instant,

He was as fast as an arrow leaving the string, and slammed into the deadliest part of Paris Saint-Germain!
then,

Equation is one step ahead and grabs the pass.

Under the desperate gaze of Meunier and Silva, he stabbed the football in a second, but Navas' attack was a step slower, and the football passed through his wicket without slowing down, rolling towards the white line of the goal. go.

While running at high speed, Equation was tripped by Navas and fell to the ground.
This time, he felt like he was about to fall apart, but his eyes still did not leave the direction of the goal.

"Go in, you have to go in."

The teammates endured the unfair penalty for most of the time, and it was hard to create such an excellent opportunity.

People live for that breath, they must let their opponents get the ending they deserve!

But Meunier and Silva still did not give up. They quickly crossed Navas and Equation who fell to the ground, and quickly chased the football, trying to catch the last second before the football blocked it.

However, it was too late.
This position has reached the middle of the penalty area. They failed to catch up, and the football rolled steadily into the goal.

The Emirates Stadium boiled instantly, almost like an earthquake.

People celebrated wildly and shouted, Arsenal finally broke the deadlock and led 1:0!

Meunier chased to the last second and hit the net.

When Navas saw the goal, he lowered his head and slowly squatted up.

Fang Fang heaved a long sigh of relief, this time finally he did not waste any more chances to score goals.
It wasn't until his teammates rushed over in ecstasy that he smiled and sat up.

Immediately, Martinelli and Saka quickly picked up their captain from the ground, and everyone happily ran to the sidelines to celebrate the goal.

And in the Sky Sports studio,

The expression on Ron's face has become extremely exciting, relying on the live broadcast playback, he almost jumped up.

Henry next to him was also very pleasantly surprised, but after seeing the reaction of his commentator partner, he actually felt that he couldn't find a word to describe it. It was because the other party's expression was too rich and exaggerated.

"33.31km/h! The top speed of the equation just reached 33.31km/h."

Ron finally couldn't help but exclaimed, he pointed at the screen excitedly, and said loudly,

"This is the data just measured by UEFA, omg, audience friends, this speed is too exaggerated"

"This is almost the same as Sun Xingmin's fastest speed in the first half against Burnley not long ago. Sun reached 33.41km/h, and the equation was a little slower. But you must know that Fang did not debut as a winger, and his position has always been in midfield. His final speed-up directly surpassed the other two, this speed-up is really unbelievable!"

"New audience friends, you heard it right. Yes, believe your hearing, the core of Arsenal is to play the midfielder."
