My light shines on Arsenal

Chapter 72 The Most Vulnerable Moment

The progress of the game is still planned.

Chen Yao looked at the watch on his wrist. Compared with the scoreboard, he preferred to look down at the time.

Because it will give him the feeling that time is still under his control.

Arsenal have many reasons to give up this game.

But they also have many reasons to win this game.

Not to mention anything else, one more step forward in the Champions League means more income.

At the same time, it also means that the team's strength has been further affirmed in Europe, which can attract better players to join.

More importantly... he also needs a masterpiece to prove himself.

Not far away, Allegri looked ugly.

When he conceded the first goal, he didn't think it was a big deal.

If this can wake up the players, that would be the best.

But after conceding the second goal, things went a little bit wrong.

He glanced at the bench, and the assistant coach Tassotti next to him asked: "Maxi, are you going to make a substitution now?"

The bags under Allegri's eyes twitched and he gritted his teeth and said, "Just wait a little longer."

He looked at the situation on the field worriedly. If he had to replace people now, he would like to replace three people in one go.

Moreover, he is very worried about whether AC Milan's mentality can support it after losing consecutive goals.

Sometimes being ahead creates more pressure, especially when the lead is being eaten away.

……

"Assholes, can you be more serious!"

When Abbiati was serving, he couldn't help shouting to his teammates again.

He knew that if he didn't roar a little at this time, Milan's condition would collapse.

Thiago Silva's face turned dark, but he did not refute the old goalkeeper this time.

He knew very well that in the defense just now, there was a problem with the coordination between him and Mexes, allowing Van Persie to find space.

Having said that, Van Persie is too difficult to defend, right?
Thiago Silva also secretly complained.

Although as a single arrow, Van Persie should be firmly locked by them, but the Dutchman's attainments in this position have obviously reached the level of a first-class star.

Whether it is running, taking the ball, or all-around shooting skills, he is top-notch, no less than Ibrahimovic in Milan.

Ibrahimovic can pose a huge threat to Arsenal's defense, and Robin van Persie can certainly do the same.

Ibrahimovic, on the other hand, put his arm on Emmanuelson's shoulders in the process of returning to the front of the formation.

"You kicked like a piece of shit."

Ibrahimovic said gently with a smile on his face.

Emmanuelsen gaped, staring blankly at Ibrahimovic's back.

Van Bommel, who was not far away, curled his lips and bumped Emmanuelson with his shoulder.

"Cheer up and don't worry about it."

With Milan kicking off again in the middle circle, their playing rhythm became strange.

Should we let go of our hands and feet and continue to attack, or should we just squat down and defend?

At this time, half of the Milan players had a strange feeling: Arsenal could still score goals.

As a result, Milan's midfield appeared uncoordinated.

Emmanuelson, who was sprayed by Ibrahimovic, made up his mind not to intervene. He stood firmly in his position and prepared to intercept.

Nocerino missed his performance in the last game, and there were countless vacancies waiting for him to fill in, so he gradually forgot Allegri's instructions and started to move eagerly.

Milan's midfield three is no longer stable in attack, but has become a long and narrow curve.

Coupled with Robinho's soft paddling and Ibrahimovic's persistent one-on-one, Milan's formation at this time was like a stretched rope, narrowly confined to the middle of the field.

The result was that their flanks were blown apart again.

In the 305th minute, Mesbach once again watched helplessly as Arsenal players rolled in.

Fortunately, Emmanuelsen, who was in a stable position, provided an interception this time. He firmly blocked Carvajal's advance route, and Arsenal's efforts to complete the advance directly through the full-back failed.

The stocky little tank Carvajal tried to run over Emmanuelson with his body, but the 20-year-old was still not perfect in the combination of man and ball. Stab out.

Foul ball.

Mesbach breathed a sigh of relief, so that the Milan players had the opportunity to recover and arrange defense, and finally he didn't have to defend Chamberlain alone.

He looked at Arsenal's new star winger with lingering fear. This kid was fast and nimble with his feet. He was really afraid of him.

The throw-in, Chamberlain touched the ball, and Mesbach immediately went up and blocked the angle of his turn.

Carvajal entered the field immediately after throwing the ball. Chamberlain made a short pass. Carvajal touched the ball and took two steps back before knocking it back to Rosicky.

Rosicky pulled back to the right rib, flicked to the left, passed the old Van Bommel silkily, and then passed a one-touch pass to the retreating Van Persie.

Skilled passing and running coordination is a major feature of Arsenal's game.

The combination of new and old personnel has maintained a high level of creativity and vitality.

The presence of old players allows many young players to have fault tolerance for balls that they cannot handle well.

This is the effect of the players running in under the same football philosophy after more than half a season.

The young players have improved their bodies and skills through experience, and the old players are also enjoying themselves with the cooperation of the young players.

They are indeed growing.

Van Persie pulled to the top of the arc to hold the ball, Thiago Silva did not rush forward, but stood still.

We can no longer let him pull away the defense line. None of our teammates are reliable.

Thiago Silva looked at Mexes. This guy's worth may be only a quarter of his own, and his performance is also a pitfall.

Van Persie, on the other hand, was puzzled to find that he was in a vacuum, and he simply took a shot.

The football flew out like a rocket, hit Max's shoulder, and bounced towards the goal.

Abbiati, who had jumped in the opposite direction just now, was shocked, but it was too late to turn back.

Thiago Silva watched the ball fly by in amazement, pointing at Mex about to explode.

And Max hasn't realized what he did...

"The ball went in!!! Three to zero! We don't know what Milan's defense is thinking, they didn't interfere with Van Persie at all!"

"But this ball does have an element of luck - the refraction of the hit on Mex made Abbiati completely misjudge the direction, otherwise he might be able to save it if he is in a brave state..."

The commentators and guests were discussing this shot, while the entire Milan team fell into a deathly silence.

Time: 36 minutes
Score: three to zero
Total score: three to four

AC Milan has collapsed.

Chen Yao just observed for a few seconds before confirming this fact.

Abbiati looked helpless, and the other players looked confused. They were not even angry, just confused.

It's so similar, it's so similar to the failures my team experienced before.

When self-doubt occurs, this emotion will devour the mind like a poisonous snake, erode self-confidence, distort every technical action, and change every rational decision.

The current AC Milan has lost its self-confidence and unanimous will.

No matter what they want to do, they will always be afraid of it.

This is their most vulnerable moment.

All it takes is one push and they plummet into the abyss.

You must take the opportunity to complete the final blow, and do not give them time to breathe and recover.

He looked at his watch. There were still 10 minutes before the end of the first half.

At this moment, how much Chen Yao wished for more time in the first half.

This may be the most fragile and bewildered period of time for AC Milan. If you seize this opportunity, you can completely defeat them!
There is one ball left and it must be chased back!
