greenery is king

Chapter 798 This is the Arsenal ([-])

Arsenal's attack is unfavorable, but it does not mean that they have given up the game, and it does not mean that they really have nothing to do. It is just two goals behind. It is not a big problem for the experienced Arsenal. .

At this time, the offensive and defensive transition speed of both sides on the field is very fast. No matter who has the opportunity, Schalke and Arsenal will not hesitate to launch a counterattack. Relatively speaking, the opportunities of both sides are relatively equal.

No. In 306 minutes, Matip's backcourt clearance ball was refracted on Benayoun. Van Persie took the ball directly from a long distance but hit Matip's body again, refracting to the other side. Hegel immediately transferred the football to the frontcourt.Mata received a through ball from Ai Huan from the right to the back point, but Raul's header hit Szesny's arms.

No. 401 minutes Arsenal captain Robin van Persie steals from Fuchs' feet in the midfield and launches a counterattack. The football quickly shifts to Walcott's feet. The foot kicked the football over Zhang Chong's body like lightning and flew into the goal, turning the score into one to two.

This goal fully reflects Van Persie's ability. The Dutchman is also world-class. Under such circumstances, it is very meaningful to score a goal. This also made all the fans sing "there is only one Van Persie in the world!" Arsenal, who were all overwhelmed by Schalke, finally took a breath, and this breath also made them feel the hope of survival.

The fans in the audience immediately erupted into loud roars. This is the demeanor of England fans. No matter what their team's performance is or what the scene is, they will wave their flags and cheer for it until the last minute. It's all about the club, not the team.

Schalke has not been greatly affected. After all, even if they concede a goal, they still have a certain advantage on the scene, not to mention that there is still a goal lead at this time, so they can still maintain a balanced mentality. Fight back without hesitation.In the last minute of the first half, Mata received the ball from Fuchs through to the left side of the penalty area. Farfan made a quick breakthrough and lobbed a shot.

The first half of the game also ended, the two sides scored one to two, and Schalke still led by one goal.

When both parties returned to the lounge, they immediately made corresponding adjustments.Schalke played very well in the first half, but the problem is that Raul on the front line has been controlled, not to mention his physical strength and consumption after the fierce game in the first half. Can't keep up a bit, so Magath decisively made the first adjustment, replacing Raul with Demba.

In fact, this is a risky move. After all, Raul's reputation and strength are not comparable to players like Demba Ba. With him, Arsenal can always be distracted, but such a substitution will immediately cause a loophole. Maybe it will really be the beginning of being defeated.But at the same time, this kind of gamble is also very necessary. Although Demba Ba is not well-known, his strength is not weak at all. What's more, he played in the Premier League last season and scored against Arsenal. If the players have no strength, they will definitely be hit hard.

Arsenal had no choice but to communicate with their assistant coach by phone because Wenger couldn't direct in person. He asked his assistant coach to replace Santos, who didn't perform at all in the first half, and replace him with Gervinho to enhance the interception ability of the midfield. , There is no other way, you must strengthen the midfield to have a chance.

When walking out of the player tunnel, Ai Huan saw that Zhang Chong looked a little lonely, so he walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "What's the matter, brother Chong, why do you seem to be preoccupied? Is it because of the goal conceded in the first half? Don't think too much about it, it's Van Persie, a world-class striker, we were all kids when he became famous."

Zhang Chong sighed, "It's also because of this ball, and it's not because of this ball. I just suddenly felt that these people's level is too good. I also met some old world stars in the Chinese Super League before, and some of them were just like that. It's not as good as it was before. I thought all the stars in the world were like that, but now it looks really good. They almost lost control of the midfield in the first half, but he seized such an opportunity, and You look at him, he almost took over Arsenal's attack, it's really amazing."

"Haha, take your time. The current Arsenal is like that. They are already injured. If they were in the past, maybe they would take the initiative today. But this year our goal is also to win the championship. There are countless good players like this." Ah, take your time, you will see more. But this is also a good thing, after you gain a firm foothold here, you will understand after returning to China, that’s what the players of those Asian teams are like.”

After thinking about it, Zhang Chong felt that it made sense, and his mood naturally improved a lot. After following Ai Huan, his emotions also rose, isn't it Arsenal?None of us are afraid!
After changing sides, Schalke still continued their initiative in the first half. They seemed to be able to do a job with ease in the midfield, and Arsenal also strengthened the midfield blocking because of Santos' playing.But this stalemate lasted only a few minutes.In the minute, Ai Huan suddenly shot a cold arrow outside the penalty area. Mertesacker made a desperate clearance in the penalty area and pushed the ball into the air. Before the ball fell, Ai Huan jumped into the air again, but this time he did not directly The shot turned the football to the other side. Mata turned and volleyed without waiting for the ball to land, but was blocked by Koscielny. The thigh bounced back to the field again.

But when all the Arsenal fans were very excited about these two saves, Demba Ba suddenly killed the football, but this time he didn't take credit for it, but passed the football to the left side lightly, already inserted Cristo, who made the assist, shot angrily, and the football flew into the unguarded goal, and the score changed again to one to three.

This goal really made people speechless. Arsenal, which had just made some progress, was confused by such a sudden blow. They all stared blankly at Cristiano running wildly on the field, even they couldn't think of it. Do you understand what's wrong?And their eyes involuntarily shifted to Ai Huan. Although the goal just now had little to do with him, it was his attack after all.
