Chapter 37 Giroud scores a goal

The situation that Paris Saint-Germain is facing now is that it is unable to organize effective attacks and counterattacks in the face of Arsenal's midfield pressure.

Especially after the tempo accelerated, Arsenal was still able to play with ease in the fast tempo, while Paris Saint-Germain found it difficult to maintain.

In order to solve this problem, Paris Saint-Germain also gave Neymar more ball rights.

"Give the ball to Neymar to handle!"

Paris coach Tuchel can only pin his hopes on Neymar at this time.

When facing Arsenal, they are absolutely unbeatable as a whole and as a team.

This was proven in the first half, as they were unable to perform effectively through overall advancement.

To this end, they can only hope that Neymar's star power can bring some changes to Paris Saint-Germain.

There was a trace of unwillingness in Mbappe's expression on the side. He believed that he should be taken more seriously. Although he is not a propulsive and organizational player, at this time, he should place his hopes on himself, not Neymar.

But Mbappe still didn't say it.

Neymar also became the main core point of Paris' offense in the second half.

Arsenal, on the other hand, did not make any tactical changes. When they were leading, they really did not need to make the first changes.

However, Mourinho still said that they need to be tighter on the defensive end.

In the final period of the second half, Arsenal's defense was still a little lax, which also gave Paris Saint-Germain several opportunities to create danger.

Mourinho obviously didn't want to see this kind of scene again in the second half.

Both sides are preparing for the second half.

Major commentators were also making suggestions for Paris Saint-Germain, but in the end, they could not find a suitable tactic. In the end, they could only lament that Arsenal had too strong control over the game.

The fans at the scene were still cheering for their respective teams.

The atmosphere was still enthusiastic, and the second half soon ushered in.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought!

"Paris Saint-Germain began to give more possession of the ball to Neymar to organize and break through. This is to use Neymar's personal ability to open up an offensive opportunity."

"But the problem comes back. Even Neymar will find it extremely difficult when facing Kai's close marking."

Andy Gray looked at the big screen. When Neymar was holding the ball and dribbling, Lucky beside him also followed suit.

Lucky did not rush to press, but drove Neymar to the side while blocking some key passing channels.

Sometimes, Neymar also wants to shake away or get rid of Lucky through some fake moves, but the success rate is pitifully low.

There were even a few forced passes, which resulted in the ball being intercepted by Arsenal.

It can be said that even in this situation where Neymar is fighting alone, there is nothing he can do against Arsenal's overall marking.

"Neymar needs help!"

So said the French narrator.

But after he finished speaking, he couldn't find a suitable candidate?

Who should help Neymar?

Verratti or Marquinhos?

Verratti is short in stature. Although he has excellent skills with his feet, he is extremely disadvantaged when facing Arsenal's physical confrontation.

Marquinhos is not a player who is willing to move forward. He prefers to retreat to defend, so he is unable to help.

Cavani will not retreat, and Mbappe will not retreat.

Both of them play the role of terminator, for which Paris Saint-Germain can only rely on Neymar.

But Neymar was unable to complete the breakthrough.

After playing for a while, Neymar became depressed.

Dribbling cannot be completed.

I want to pass the ball, but I can't find the forward passing point.

Every time they could only pass back, after the offensive progress passed the center circle, they seemed to stall directly.

On the other hand, Arsenal still deployed their defense calmly. On the one hand, they restricted Neymar and other players who could pose a threat to themselves, and on the other hand, they waited for opportunities to counterattack.

The situation is still firmly under Arsenal's control.

This also made the Paris fans in the entire Parc des Princes stadium seem particularly depressed.

I can't always find a suitable counterattack point, and at the same time I have to be worried about Arsenal's counterattack.

At this moment, there was a flaw in Paris' attack.

When Verratti passed the ball, he encountered Eriksen's pressure, which also made his pass weak enough, and the ball was intercepted by Kanter.

After Kanter intercepted the ball, he pushed it forward directly to Giroud who was retreating.

Just in time, Kimpembe was pulled out by Giroud, causing a gap in the rear.

Giroud faced the ball and stuffed it into the gap.

Mane started very quickly and quickly started running diagonally.

Facing the ball, shoot directly!

The shot was powerful and heavy, but it went over the crossbar and flew into the stands.

"Paris Saint-Germain can't make this kind of mistake. Although there was a confrontation, it was intercepted too easily. Arsenal could finish the goal with two feet."

"For Mane, he is too anxious to shoot. He can take a step, adjust and choose to shoot!"

Andy Gray still gave a certain amount of affirmation in his tone.

After all, in this case, facing any shooting opportunity, the forwards want to complete it faster to prevent the opponent from leaving a chance to block it.

But the shot just now can really be slowed down.

This attack failed to score a goal, but the pressure on Paris became even greater.

Many Paris Saint-Germain players are also sweating profusely, and their physical energy is exhausted.

Some people even take advantage of this time to rest on their legs.

Seeing this scene, Lucky felt that the time had come for Arsenal to attack.

Arsenal's offense is not carried out blindly, but by choosing a suitable opportunity.

Under the current situation, Paris Saint-Germain is obviously exhausted under the pressure from Arsenal.

And the overall situation is not particularly good.

This is a good time for Arsenal to attack aggressively and open up the score.

For this reason, Lucai immediately directed his teammates to start pressing fiercely.

After the game restarted, Arsenal's pressing intensity in the front midfield increased exponentially. Sometimes Lucky and Kante would even mention the position of the center circle, further compressing Paris Saint-Germain's passing channels.

Neymar wants to attack, and to do this he needs to receive the ball near the center circle. He cannot run too far forward or too far behind.

In this situation, Arsenal on the one hand kept an eye on Neymar, and on the other hand, under the pressure of the overall forward movement, Paris Saint-Germain began to retreat continuously.

Until they couldn't bear the pressure and made a big save.

The ball was easily collected by Arsenal.

When Arsenal gained the ball, their offensive posture became extremely intense.

"The game entered the 70th minute. Arsenal began to take the initiative to attack and began to press Paris Saint-Germain's defense. Arsenal's passing was very smooth. The ball came to Aubameyang's feet. Move, move, move again!"

"Arsenal is constantly moving, trying to create a breakthrough gap, while Giroud is pressing against the opponent's back line, applying constant pressure."

"Eriksson passed the ball to Kai, and Kai also stepped forward to join the attack."

Under the pressure that lasted for two full minutes, Paris Saint-Germain finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Press up! Press!"

"We can't keep playing like this!"

"Kick him out of the half!"

Paris Saint-Germain captain Thiago Silva shouted loudly.

The Paris players also rushed forward quickly.

It was in this gap that Lucky advanced instead of retreating, and took the initiative to ask for it.

Eriksen made a cross pass, and Lucky stepped sideways to hold up Marquinhos, and at the same time lightly rubbed the ball with his left foot.

The ball showed a parabola and flew towards Paris Saint-Germain's back space.

At the same time, Giroud also moved forward smartly and reached the landing point in two steps.

"Girou!

A wonderful anti-offside move! "

Andy Gray shouted excitedly, and immediately under his gaze, Giroud faced the falling ball, pushed his chest, widened the distance laterally, and at the same time got rid of the attacking goalkeeper.

Facing the empty goal, Giroud faced the falling ball and easily completed the push shot.

In the 74th minute, Arsenal scored again to expand the score.

This goal also caused silence in the entire Parc des Princes.

At this time, they really started to become confused.

From the beginning of the game to now, they have never had an advantage, let alone an advantage. They have not had even a comfortable shooting opportunity.
