Chapter 184 Sky Overlord! At this moment, the soul of Warcraft Drogba is possessed! 【Please subscribe】
On the afternoon of October 17th, Emirates Stadium in London.
In the 9th round of the Premier League, the Bayswater Chinese challenged Arsenal away from home.
When referee Andrew Marriner blew the whistle to start the game, Carroll kicked the ball back from the center circle and back to the back line.
As soon as Jose Fonte received the ball, Arsenal center Benzema quickly reached him.
The Portuguese central defender quickly passed the ball to Pepe.
Arshavin also rushed towards Pepe immediately, which forced Pepe to pass back to goalkeeper Neuer immediately.
As soon as Neuer stopped the ball, Benzema was already heading towards him.
But the German goalkeeper showed no fear and remained very calm.
It wasn't until Benzema was almost rushing to him that Neuer made a long pass and kicked the ball forward.
Neuer is not betting, but waiting.
At the bottom of the center circle in Arsenal's half, Carroll leaned on Koscielny and headed the ball to the right.
Walcott quickly stepped forward and grabbed the second spot.
Although, the Bayswater Chinese's attack on the right failed to work, and the ball was quickly intercepted by Gallas.
But the cooperation in the opening this time was still very good.
Whether it's Neuer's long pass or Carroll's header, they are all very skillful.
After the ball changed hands, Arsenal tried to launch a fast break.
But Matuidi fouled Cesc Fabregas near the center circle of Arsenal's half, ending Arsenal's counterattack.
……
Yang Cheng stood in front of the visiting team's coaching bench and applauded the players vigorously.
This foul was timely.
The Gunners' strong dialogue this season has basically failed.
In the 4th and 5th rounds, consecutive losses to Manchester United and Manchester City made everyone worried about the prospects of Wenger's team.
Everyone knows the importance of strong dialogue.
But both games are on the road.
Playing 4 home games this season, the Gunners scored 18 goals.
Yes, you heard that right, 18 goals in 4 games.
4 goals in 3 games, 6 goals in the previous round.
On the contrary, in the away games, except for the 6-1 victory over Everton in the first round away game, the Gunners did not play very well in their away games.
Including a narrow 1-0 away win over Fulham in the 7th round.
But there are no absolutes in everything.
When it comes to teams like Bayswater Chinese and Arsenal, home and away factors will have an impact, but not that big.
The most important thing is the opponent's tactics.
Manchester United, Manchester City, and Fulham basically focus on defensive counterattacks.
This is not because Arsenal are too strong, but because everyone wants to win in a more certain way.
Including Yang Cheng today.
Arsenal has a 4231 formation.
Goalkeeper: Lloris;
Defense: Clichy, Gallas, Koscielny and Sagna;
Midfield: Alexander Song and Gourcuff trail behind, with Arshavin, Fabregas and Van Persie in front;
Forward: Benzema.
The Gunners are different from the Bayswater Chinese. They had good luck in the group stage draw and almost got a walk-off.
After this game, they played away to Alkmaar in the Champions League group stage.
Therefore, Wenger dared to use all his main players in this game to fight the Bayswater Chinese.
Where is Yang Cheng?
Next Wednesday is also an away game, going to Madrid, Spain to play Real Madrid.
After losing the match at the Bernabeu, the fight for the top spot in the group became passive.
The national team competition is ahead in two weeks, and the fierce rival Real Madrid is behind. What can Yang Cheng do?
Adjust and rotate.
So, he put together a rotation lineup tonight.
Goalkeeper: Neuer;
Defense: Ryan Bertrand, Jose Font, Pepe and Piszczek;
Midfield: Javi Martinez plays deep, with Matuidi and Modric in front;
Forwards: Gareth Bale, Carroll and Theo Walcott.
Di Maria and Thiago Silva were not even included in the game squad.
Yang Cheng asked them to rest and recover, and they were sitting in the stands at this time.
From the opening, Arsenal showed an aggressive momentum, and Yang Cheng could feel Wenger's determination.
"He wants to use us to establish his power!" Yang Cheng snorted and sneered twice.
"Losing to the Manchester duo was a big blow to the Gunners," said Brian Kidd.
If it can be explained before, it was in an away game, and it was two consecutive rounds.
But back at home, facing the Bayswater Chinese, if they can't win, the Gunners' strong dialogue this season may collapse.
Once the results of the strong dialogue fail, then what else can Wenger talk about winning?
However, in this game, Yang Cheng also left a shortcoming, left back Ryan Bertrand.
This young player who previously played for Chelsea's youth academy made his first league start for the Bayswater Chinese.
I'm not too young, at 20 years old, I just don't know if I can hold it steady.
Because of this, Yang Cheng arranged for Matuidi to be on this side.
At the same time, he also reminded Gareth Bale that if there is a problem in the defense, he must return to defense in time.
After the opening, the Bayswater Chinese consciously tightened their defense.
But it is by no means a strict defense.
For example, at 2 minutes and 48 seconds, Andy Carroll suddenly rushed forward and almost stole the ball from Gallas.
This startled the Arsenal centre-back and he had to quickly pass the ball back to the goalkeeper.
Yang Cheng's game strategy is to rely on solid defense in the backcourt and strong control in the midfield to minimize Arsenal's chances of entering the penalty area.
Therefore, in the first 10 minutes, Arsenal's ball possession rate was as high as 68%.
What about the number of shots on goal?
zero!
It was difficult for the Gunners' offense to penetrate effectively into the Bayswater Chinese penalty area.
It's not even easy to take a long shot.
Javi Martinez is like a wall outside the penalty area, coupled with Matuidi and Modric, it is by no means an easy task for Arsenal to pass through the midfield.
Arshavin tried to use his personal ability several times to rush in with the ball, but it failed to work.
Piszczek has been with Bayswater Chinese for so many years and is now completely familiar with the right back position.
Defensively, he is like a go-getter.
Moreover, he is fast, has good foot skills, and dares to fight hard.
Even once when they were closely guarding Arshavin, the two fell into each other's arms, and Arshavin was so angry that he pushed him away.
But the Russians reacted quickly and took the initiative to go over and apologize to Piszczek.
At least the Poles didn't take the opportunity to fall to the ground.
That's how football plays sometimes.
If you are too involved in playing, you can easily lose control of your emotions.
……
"Calm down, don't be anxious!"
"Calm down! Calm down!!"
Wenger shouted loudly from the sidelines.
He realized that after the opening, the Gunners successfully controlled the ball, but the offense was unable to threaten.
There wasn't even a shot.
This made the Gunners players somewhat anxious.
Just now Arshavin pushed Piszczek away is good evidence.
But what kind of team are the Bayswater Chinese?
How solid is their defense?
If he loses his composure and lets the Bayswater Chinese take the opportunity, the consequences will be disastrous.
As long as the team makes the slightest mistake, it is possible for the Bayswater Chinese to launch a threatening attack.
This is very fatal!
Thinking of this, Wenger quickly walked to the sidelines and signaled Gourcuff and Fabregas to control the rhythm of the game.
Slow down a bit and pay attention to the midfield pass.
He noticed that Matuidi and Modric had been sweeping away.
Especially Matuidi.
This kid can run really well and pass the ball very well.
And Javi Martinez.
The Spanish midfielder is both offensive and defensive, but is excellent at defending and grabbing the ball.
"Yang Cheng, this bastard, is full of evil."
Wenger angrily walked back to the home dugout and complained to assistant coach Pat Rice.
"Before at Old Trafford, Ferguson told me that Yang Cheng encouraged him to dig Busquets, De Rossi, and Tulalan."
"He said that these players are his recruitment targets, and he praised them all like flowers."
Tulalang is currently sitting on Arsenal's bench, but since he just participated in the national team game and Wenger wanted to take the initiative today, he was not arranged to play.
"As a result, you see, he turned around and poached Javi Martinez." Wenger became more and more angry as he spoke.
It's not that he is interested in Javi Martinez, but the Spanish midfielder performed well in this game.
On the contrary, Ferguson looked depressed when he told him this.
I feel like I was cheated by Yang Cheng!
"He was robbed by Manchester United because of De Rossi, and Tularan came to our Arsenal?" Pat Rice was a little strange.
Wenger glanced at his assistant and shook his head.
So simple!
"That bastard never thought about poaching De Rossi or Tulalan from the beginning. He just wanted to buy Javi Martinez and deliberately spread the news. He even encouraged Ferguson to snatch Busquets from Barcelona."
"You can't believe a word he says!"
Pat Rice finally understood and almost laughed out loud.
But he also knew in his heart that Wenger was probably a little nervous now.
Arsenal has the upper hand?
At first glance this is indeed the case.
Isn't it just that the ball possession rate is higher?
Is there a truly threatening offense?
No!
This is the most dangerous and what the head coach least wants to see.
Especially when facing a team like Bayswater Chinese.
As long as you are not careful and reveal some flaws, you may be scored by the opponent at any time.
This is very fatal for Arsenal!
But now, it is basically impossible to get Wenger's team back.
Wenger could no longer retreat.
"Benzema has no advantage against Pepe or Jose Fonte. How about letting Van Persie press forward a little bit?" Pat Rice suggested.
Van Persie also has strong center forward ability and is also very good at holding the ball behind his back.
Letting him go up can improve Arsenal's ball-taking ability in the frontcourt.
Just when Wenger was hesitating, the already deafening Emirates Stadium suddenly erupted with an exclamation.
Wenger suddenly raised his head and saw right back Sagna passing the ball straight to the frontcourt.
Van Persie dropped back to collect the ball, with Ryan Bertrand right behind him.
The Dutchman turned his back to the direction of attack, stopped the ball behind Matuidi in the ribs, turned around and was about to sprint.
Unexpectedly, Ryan Bertrand was well prepared and quickly retreated immediately.
What's even more terrible is that Matuidi suddenly accelerated and directly used his body to push away Cesc Fabregas, intercepted Van Persie's pass first, and passed it to Ryan Bertrand.
Bertrand crossed to Javi Martinez.
The latter did not stop the ball and passed it forward directly.
Modric got ahead of Alexander Song and dribbled the ball with his left and right feet, passing the Arsenal midfielder who was trying to intercept.
Alexander Song reacted quickly and turned around to chase.
Modric made a pass in time and passed it to Carroll's feet near the 30-meter area.
After the England center blocked Koscielny with his body, he stopped the ball, turned to the left, and sent a straight pass with his left foot.
The ball passed along a diagonal line from the center of Arsenal's 30-meter area to the left side of the penalty area.
Gallas turned around and chased back desperately, but Gareth Bale was faster than him.
While holding Gallas with his body, the Welshman rushed towards Arsenal's penalty area and caught up with Carroll's pass first.
Gallas was already half a body behind. The Frenchman knew better than anyone else that if Gareth Bale rushed over, the ball would be over!
As a result, he almost used his hands and feet, and except for obvious fouls, he almost used up all his tricks.
Gareth Bale was pulled and pulled by him, and finally broke free, but he was immediately caught again.
Just when the Welshman rushed into the left side of the penalty area and was about to lose his balance, Gareth Bale sent a cross with his left foot and gave the ball to the right side of the penalty spot.
Like a golden lightning, Walcott caught up with Gareth Bale's pass and pushed the ball with his right foot into the goal guarded by Lloris.
The French goalkeeper tried his best to save it, but it was still beyond his reach.
At this time, on the left side of the penalty area, Gareth Bale and Gallas fell in the penalty area at the same time.
"The ball went in!!"
"Walcott used a clean push to penetrate Arsenal's goal at the critical moment!"
"At least half of the credit for this goal comes from Gareth Bale!"
"In fact, from the slow-motion replay, we can clearly see that if Walcott did not score this ball, it should also be a penalty kick."
"Gallas has already committed a very obvious foul, pulling down Gareth Bale twice."
"I have to say that the Welshman's physical fitness is indeed very strong. No matter how much Gallas pulls and pulls, he can't hold him back, but Gareth Bale still rushes into Arsenal's penalty area."
"The Bayswater Chinese took the lead in scoring in the 18th minute of the first half!"
"Goal from Theo Walcott."
"1 to 0!"
From Van Persie's pass to Walcott's goal, it only took 12 seconds to count.
Wenger stood on the sidelines watching the game from start to finish.
He was shocked at first.
His hands involuntarily covered his cheeks and mouth.
His worst fear happened.
Arsenal's offense could not penetrate the Bayswater Chinese defense. Instead, the opponent seized the opportunity and scored through a quick counterattack.
This was the Bayswater Chinese's first truly threatening attack in the game.
Unexpectedly, they seized the opportunity!
Wenger looked helplessly at the Bayswater Chinese players celebrating wildly on the court, and he felt heartbroken.
He repeatedly stressed the need to pay attention, but mistakes still occurred.
What made him even more depressed was, who could he blame?
Everyone obviously worked so hard.
……
As the Bayswater Chinese took the lead in scoring, Arsenal began to increase their offensive intensity.
Playing at home, the Gunners have no retreat.
But the Bayswater Chinese tactics were simple and practical.
Yang Cheng's tactics are mainly defensive, and when counterattacking, he uses Carroll's burly body and high ball advantage, while also taking advantage of the speed of Gareth Bale and Walcott.
These three players have given Arsenal's midfield and backfield players a huge headache.
There are really no good tricks.
Starting from the 20th minute, Arsenal tried to cause offside, but the striker was too big.
Just 3 minutes later, Walcott successfully countered offside and dribbled the ball straight into Arsenal's penalty area.
Fortunately, Koscielny chased back in time and blocked Walcott outside the penalty area, forcing the little tiger to dribble the ball to the right and then cross to the goal.
Carroll's header was caught by Lloris.
Although it failed to score a goal, it still made everyone in Arsenal break into a cold sweat.
They have to reconsider whether offside can work.
With the speed of Walcott and Gareth Bale, as well as the interweaving ability and movement awareness of these two imps, is it really reliable to cause offside?
Here we have to be wary of the Bayswater Chinese counterattack, and there we have to find ways to break through the opponent's defense. You can imagine the awkward situation of the Gunners.
After taking the lead, the Bayswater Chinese implemented their tactics more resolutely.
There is a data that is very reflective of the game scene.
As of 40 minutes, the Gunners' ball possession rate reached 61%.
But they only had 2 shots on goal.
Yes, the Gunners had only 2 shots in the first 40 minutes, and none of them were on target.
On the contrary, it was the Bayswater Chinese who shot 4 times in the first half, 2 of which were on target.
Both sides obviously played very cautiously, restraining their opponents in a targeted manner and not daring to give their opponents the slightest chance.
Especially the Bayswater Chinese.
The targeted defense was very successful.
Especially the left wing, which was regarded by many as a weak link before the game.
Ryan Bertrand did not make any obvious mistakes. He defended very well, was fast, and had good foot skills.
The young left back's performance was quite satisfactory.
Even when defending, he is vaguely better than Marcelo.
At the very least, physical confrontation and speed are both advantages.
In the end, Bayswater Chinese ended the first half 1-0 with Walcott's goal.
……
"We did a good job in the first half!"
Yang Cheng returned to the locker room and grinned at the players.
He let everyone see how satisfied he was with the first half.
"Especially our midfield and backfield, if we win against Arsenal today, all of you will take credit!"
Yang Cheng's words made the midfield and backfield players, including Jose Fonte, very satisfied.
Yang Cheng actually gave special treatment to old ministers like Jose Fonte and Lambert.
They all have a common characteristic, limited strength, but they have followed the Bayswater Chinese all the way from the low-level leagues to now.
Needless to say, Lambert joined the team in 2003 and was considered the first player to work under Yang Cheng.
Jose Fonte came a little later, but also joined the team in 2004.
The Portuguese's nickname in the locker room is the political commissar, who specializes in ideological work.
Over the years, even if he lost his main position, he has always been the team's vice-captain.
He is responsible for almost all the work of integrating players into the team.
To a certain extent, Jose Fonte is Yang Cheng's starting point in the locker room.
There is another characteristic of these two players that makes Yang Cheng very satisfied, that is, they are both low-key.
Lose your main position?
Sometimes you may not even be able to play for a long time?
But they are still conscientious and hardworking, and their condition has been maintained.
They are available at any time when the team needs them.
Among them, Lambert is the most typical.
Jose Font actually has a lot of opportunities to play.
With such a direct lineage, Yang Cheng was not willing to let them leave the team easily.
"This is our possession data in the first half."
Yang Cheng directly posted the ball possession time in the first half on the tactical board.
"In the first half, Arsenal's possession rate was 61%, and the ball was on our side 43% of the time."
In Yang Cheng's diagram, the stadium is divided into three parts, the Arsenal area, the midfield and the Bayswater Chinese area.
30% is in the midfield and 27% in the Arsenal area.
From this data, it is obvious that the gunmen are basically besieging the Bayswater Chinese.
Of course, this 43% does not mean that all Arsenal are in possession of the ball. "However, they only had 2 shots in the first half, and none of them were on target."
"This is enough to prove that with the Gunners' defense and their skillful passing and cutting cooperation, our defense was very good and even perfect, without giving them any chance!"
The players, especially those in the midfield and backfield, were very proud when they saw this data and heard Yang Cheng's words.
This is the result of their efforts in the first half!
"The situation will definitely change in the second half."
Yang Cheng slowly walked up to the players, looking particularly confident.
Not just because the team is ahead now.
More importantly, he must pass on confidence to every player.
"Arsenal will definitely make adjustments, and I guess they will take one of the two defensive midfielders. The high probability is Gourcuff, let Fabregas retreat, kick back 442, and put Van Persie up front."< br>
In fact, in the first half, Arsenal had Van Persie on the front line for a long time.
But in this case, there will be no one on the right side.
Therefore, Yang Cheng is certain that Wenger will make a substitution.
Read the error-free version in 6Ⅹ9ⅩBookⅩ! 6Ⅹ9 Shuyiba publishes a novel for the first time. Liujiu Book Bar Reading
It’s hard to say the exact time of substitution.
"If Wenger wants to be safe, it should be between 55 and 60 minutes."
"But if he is more aggressive, he will be replaced earlier, even in midfield."
Everyone nodded.
No one can accurately capture the opponent's head coach's decision-making, they can only rely on guessing.
"For us, no matter how Arsenal makes substitutions, it doesn't matter. What matters is that they will not be conservative in the second half!"
"So..."
Yang Cheng waved his hand, and Brian Kidd behind him took down the data chart that had just been posted and turned it into the matchup chart that Yang Cheng had written long ago.
"We will start the second half with a determined attack!"
All the players' eyes lit up.
The Bayswater Chinese are best at attacking.
But in the first half, the team retreated very early and didn't even make a decent attack.
"Our strategy in the second half is still to focus on high balls and take advantage of the physical advantages of Gareth Bale and Carroll."
"Especially Carol!"
Carroll is very young, but Yang Cheng is also very simple to use him and gets started quickly.
And with excellent teammates around him, he can basically bring out his advantages.
For example, now, Yang Cheng's requirement for him is to compete for the top spot.
Either score the goal yourself or make it for your teammates.
"So, Gareth and Theo, you should try to get closer to the ribs and into the penalty area."
"The two full-backs need to be bolder and press forward. If there is a chance, they can pass the ball into the penalty area and look for Carroll!"
Yang Cheng's tactics are so simple, direct, and brutal.
Carroll doesn't even need to think about anything else. He just needs to know that he is responsible for the high ball.
"The start of the second half is very important."
"I want you to try your best to keep Arsenal in their area for at least 10 minutes, completely disrupt their rhythm, and even score their goal!"
"Can it be done?"
"Yes!"
"No problem!"
The players all responded in unison.
……
As referee Andrew Marriner blew his whistle, the Gunners players discovered something was wrong.
The Bayswater Chinese players, who took the initiative to retreat in the first half, took advantage of Arsenal's serve and took the initiative to press forward, pressing all three lines.
They are no strangers to Yang Cheng's team.
This is the signal to attack!
Wenger was also signaling to his players on the sidelines to be careful.
If it were normal times, Wenger would consider letting the players avoid direct confrontation with the Bayswater Chinese.
The tip of the needle against the wheat awn?
In European football, there are really not many teams that dare to do this to the Bayswater Chinese.
But now, Wenger can no longer care about this.
He needs to score!
So he made his first substitution at half-time, with Aaron Lennon replacing Gourcuff.
After the substitution, Van Persie moved to the front line and formed a double forward with Benzema.
The midfielder became Arshavin, Alexander Song, Cesc Fabregas and Alan Lennon.
Among them, Arshavin and Alan Lennon are positioned relatively forward, more like wingers.
Wenger replaced Lennon, still wanting to take advantage of his speed and use him to attack Ryan Bertrand.
But the Bayswater Chinese ignored the Gunners' substitutions and pressed forward aggressively.
As soon as the ball was lost, a counterattack immediately formed in the frontcourt.
When the Bayswater Chinese launched an attack, the pressure they put on their opponents was such that any team, even Barcelona, had to choose to avoid it temporarily.
In the 49th minute, when Gareth Bale from the left sprinted forward to chase the ball, Sagna took the lead and destroyed the ball out of bounds.
The Bayswater Chinese received a foul ball in the frontcourt.
Ryan Bertrand ran over, picked up the football on the ground, and threw it to Gareth Bale in front of him with both hands.
The Welshman stopped the ball with his chest and played it back to Bertrand, who met Cesc Fabregas when he received the ball.
I saw Bertrand kicking the ball directly to the baseline. After he accelerated to catch up, he kicked the ball and made a pass.
Bertrand did a good job in handling the previous series, but he failed to grasp the placement of the final cross.
Koscielny took the lead and headed the ball to clear the ball.
Rakitic ran all the way back, got ahead of Robin van Persie, and headed the ball past Javi Martinez.
The Spaniard stopped the ball with his right foot, moved sideways to the center, and kicked Pepe again.
The Bayswater Chinese defense line had already passed the center line. Pepe stopped the ball in front of him and chased after him.
Benzema chased Pepe immediately, but Pepe suddenly accelerated and dribbled the ball diagonally to the right.
Before Benzema could get close to him, Pepe passed the ball to Piszczek.
The Pole turned his back to the right sideline, stopped the ball toward the ribs, passed it to Modric, and accelerated forward.
Arshavin first followed Piszczek back to the defense. When he was close to Modric, he moved to the center, hoping to cooperate with Alexander Song and steal the ball from Modric's feet.
But no one expected that Modric suddenly sent a diagonal pass before the two defensive players formed a flank.
The football was passed diagonally from the ribs to the right corner of the penalty area and passed right between Arshavin and Alexander Song.
After Piszczek bypassed Arshavin, he quickly crossed forward and caught up with Modric's pass.
The Polish full-back stopped, looked up at the penalty area, and sent a high ball diagonally with his right foot.
The ball went from the right corner of the penalty area to the center of the small penalty area line.
At almost the same time, Carroll, who had been ambushing in the penalty area just now, waiting for a pass from his teammate, stepped forward, jumped from behind Gallas, faced the football passed by Piszczek, and made a direct move. Shake your head.
The ball hit Carroll's head, turned in one direction, and fell directly to the left side of the goal.
Goalkeeper Lloris stood on the right side and tried his best to fly sideways.
But where can I get it?
The ball went straight into the Gunners' goal.
"The ball went in!!!"
"The Bayswater Chinese's attack knocked on Arsenal's goal again!"
"Only 4 minutes in the second half!"
"Arsenal's defense has another flaw!"
"It's still a fatal high ball!"
"Gallas couldn't stop the burly and strong Carroll. He watched helplessly as the England center scored a goal over his head."
"This is really surprising!"
"In the second half, the sides changed sides and the battle resumed. The Bayswater Chinese, who had been passively beaten in the first half, unexpectedly took the initiative and scored in 4 minutes!"
"This is a competition between famous coaches!"
"Yang Cheng's opening attack once again worked wonders!"
"Wenger's defense failed to stop the Bayswater Chinese attack after all."
"2 to 0!"
"The Bayswater Chinese further expanded the score!"
……
Re-opening.
When the Gunners served again, they found that the Bayswater Chinese were still pressing on them relentlessly.
If the Bayswater Chinese were like a salted fish lying flat in the first half, the London rivals in the second half were like hungry tigers going downhill.
This made Arsenal players very uncomfortable.
But they were still unwilling.
Taking the initiative to fight and conceding 2 goals in a row, is it really that the Gunners' strong dialogue is not enough?
The Gunners took the initiative several times in a row, but were never able to break through, not even past the midfield.
The Bayswater Chinese's counterattack after losing the ball in the frontcourt, as well as their pressing pressure in the midfield and frontcourt, almost suffocated Arsenal.
In the 56th minute, when Arshavin on the left took the ball and wanted to cross the center line, Modric intercepted it near the center line.
When the Russian Tsar counterattacked, he tripped Modric.
Modric grabbed Arshavin's hand, got up from the grass, set up the ball, and took a quick free kick.
Piszczek sprinted forward quickly along the right wing, but was destroyed by Clichy and went out of bounds.
Another foul ball.
Piszczek ran over and quickly threw the ball to Modric.
The Croatian blocked Arshavin with his body. After stopping the ball with his chest, he moved the ball skillfully with his feet and wanted to take it forward.
Clichy was afraid that Modric would complete the breakthrough, so he rushed over to intercept it immediately.
Modric passed the ball straight to the feet of Piszczek who was beside Clichy.
Piszczek stopped the ball behind Klich with his right foot, then chased after him and passed the ball without thinking.
A bang was heard at the scene, and the ball was passed from the right sideline on the right side of the penalty area to the front point.
And, another high ball!
Almost immediately, Carroll sprinted as fast as he could.
He is like a giant bear from Siberia. He is 1.81 meters tall and weighs only 72 kilograms compared to William Gallas. How can he stop this rampaging monster?
I saw Carroll rushing to the right corner of Arsenal's small penalty area. He jumped up high, like plucking onions on dry land, facing Piszczek's cross, he directly headed the ball towards the goal and smashed the ball hard. Entered the bottom right corner of Arsenal's goal.
Goalkeeper Lloris stood on the right this time, but Carroll's header was fast and urgent, and it hit the goal downwards. He stretched out his hand to block it, but nothing stopped it.
The ball crashed into Arsenal's goal again.
3 to 0!
Scored twice!
Until this moment, the exclamations of Gunners fans came from the Emirates Stadium again!
“It’s so shocking!”
"My God!"
"Andy Carroll is like the spirit of Drogba possessed by the World of Warcraft at this moment!"
"I simply don't know how to describe this feeling. Galas looks extremely small and humble in front of him!"
"He's like the king of the skies!"
"Two headers showed us the power contained in Andy Carroll!"
"With a height of 1.91 meters and a weight of 83 kilograms, I am only 20 years old!"
"But at this moment Andy Carroll has shown unparalleled intimidation!"
"And, so far this season, he has scored 8 goals!"
"Scoring 8 goals in 9 league rounds is simply unbelievable!"
"We have no doubt that, given time, Andy Carroll will become a super center who is not inferior to Drogba!"
"Here we have to feel sorry for Newcastle."
"This magpie, which is in deep financial trouble, let go of such an aerial fighter for a mere £3 million!"
"We'd love to know, how do Magpies fans feel now?"
……
When Carroll knocked on Arsenal's goal with two consecutive hammers, the game was already decided.
Yang Cheng attacked for more than ten minutes, scored 2 goals, and took a 3-0 lead. He immediately made substitutions.
He needs to save up for next Wednesday's trip to the Bernabeu.
As a result, the Bayswater Chinese returned to the defensive counterattack style of the first half.
Wenger's team started a crazy counterattack, and in the 69th minute, taking advantage of the defensive problems exposed by the Bayswater Chinese's continuous substitutions, Benzema broke into the penalty area with the ball and was tripped by Pepe. .
Yellow card plus penalty kick!
Marriner's penalty aroused strong dissatisfaction with Yang Cheng. He was so angry on the sidelines that he pointed at Marriner and cursed, thinking that he was deliberately helping Arsenal score.
This left the referee speechless.
He ran to the sidelines and "warned" Yang Cheng sternly.
"That was such an obvious foul. It was right in front of me. How could it be a misjudgment?" Marriner almost cried.
This stupid referee is simply a doormat!
Reasonable or not, let’s scold the referee first!
You famous marshals, are you still being reasonable?
Seeing his angry look, Yang Cheng was really embarrassed to say anything else. He smiled and patted Marina on the shoulder, turned around and walked back.
"I'm really not as cheeky as Ferguson, and I haven't mastered my kung fu yet!"
The Gunners took the penalty kick from captain Cesc Fabregas and succeeded in getting a goal back in one fell swoop.
1 to 3!
Wenger then made consecutive substitutions.
They even took Alexander Song off the field and replaced him with Nasri to further strengthen the offense in the frontcourt.
Therefore, the last 20 minutes of the game were basically under Arsenal's control.
But the Bayswater Chinese also defended well.
In the end, Bayswater Chinese defeated Arsenal 3-1 with Carroll's brace.
Yang Cheng can almost conclude that tomorrow's British media, no, the English media around the world, will report on Carroll at length.
This 20-year-old high center forward is going to be popular again!
……
"You are just seeking death!"
After the press conference, Yang Cheng was invited to Wenger's office.
When they met, Yang Cheng couldn't help but step on Wenger with a bitter look on his face.
He didn't know why, but seeing Wenger's distressed look, he couldn't help but feel itchy feet.
"To be honest, if you focus on defense in this game, we will really have a headache, but if you choose to attack, you can't blame me." Yang Cheng won confidently.
Wenger smiled bitterly and sighed, "I also want to win a strong dialogue."
"Then look at Manchester United. That old guy Ferguson is much smarter than you. Whether he played against us in the first round or the game against you, he always chose to defend and counterattack."
Yang Cheng can actually understand Wenger's thoughts.
The Chinese in Bayswater will have to focus on their Champions League match against Real Madrid next Wednesday, but Arsenal will not.
But in fact, after two weeks of national team training, the Gunners players were not in particularly good condition.
For example, Benzema and Van Persie had little chance in front of the Bayswater Chinese defense.
Arshavin even traveled a long way back home to fight for the right to qualify for the World Cup in South Africa. He lost his previous sharpness when dribbling the ball several times today.
In the final analysis, Wenger is still a bit of a literary youth.
This is a disease and must be cured!
Wenger is obviously unwilling to talk more about this matter.
If you lose, you lose. The key is to look at the next game.
But Yang Cheng has a feeling that the Gunners' defense problem is still quite big.
In other words, Wenger still has not solved Arsenal's offensive and defensive transition problem.
Another thing is that the Gunners players are not cohesive enough.
"If you ask me, you can be considered wealthy now, so don't be as calculating and stingy as before."
Yang Cheng won the game on someone else's territory, so of course he didn't mind comforting him and persuading him.
"You mean, about Cesc Fabregas?"
"That's right, cut through the mess with a sharp knife and cut it off when you need it. Don't mess around and affect the team's morale!"
Yang Cheng said it very simply.
Fabregas is not his player anyway, so what are you afraid of?
"Barcelona did not do an honest job in this matter. Every time the national team went back to play, they tried to seduce them in every possible way, and they tried to trick them every time. If it had been me, I would have wanted them to look good."
Just before this game, Wenger accused Barcelona in the media of seducing Cesc Fabregas.
It sounds like an injustice.
Fabregas came from Barcelona and wanted to go back.
What about Wenger?
I tried hard to keep him, but I couldn't stop this scumbag from Barcelona from seducing him in every possible way.
Doesn't he understand that the more Wu Dalang begs and begs, the more Pan Jinlian looks forward to Hongxing's affair, and the more Ximen Qing likes to hook up?
At this time, Wu Dalang should just close the door and let Wu Song go and turn the table over!
If it really doesn't work, let's just put in the conditions and leave directly, and it'll be over.
"What would you do if it were you?" Wenger asked humbly.
Yang Cheng thought for a while and smiled: "It's simple. I will offer Fabregas a high weekly salary, at least 200,000 pounds, which is also the maximum salary in the team. To show my sincerity, ask directly Do you want to sign it?”
"200,000 pounds?" Wenger was surprised.
"Look at you like that. Now you are backed by a rich boss. What are you afraid of with 200,000 pounds?"
Anyway, the money spent is not the money of us Chinese people in Bayswater, so I am not afraid anymore.
"If Cesc Fabregas is willing to sign, then of course nothing can be said about him. If he is not willing to sign, he will just be benched."
"Although he is the main force, your current midfielder is also full of talents. It doesn't matter if he is missing."
"Then we have a showdown with Barcelona and let them make an offer!"
Having said this, Yang Cheng glanced at the hesitant Wenger and sighed: "If you were more straightforward, you would have a better chance of retaining someone."
"Fabregas must also be hesitating. He may not really want to return to Barcelona."
"Don't forget, there are Xavi and Iniesta there, Barcelona does not lack his midfielder!"
Whenever a professional player says how loyal he is to a certain club, Yang Cheng doesn't believe it anyway.
In professional football, the premise of player loyalty is that the club can satisfy the interests they want.
This benefit may not necessarily be money, it may be fame or fortune, or something else.
"Sign the contract, renew the contract, and everything will be over!"
As long as Fabregas is willing to renew his contract, a move to Barcelona will be impossible.
By then, Barcelona will no longer be stalking them.
Because it makes no sense anymore.
Now that Barcelona is stalking him, in the final analysis, Fabregas himself is hesitant to go back.
Wenger is now a fan of the authorities!
"Okay, let's study it further!"
With that said, Wenger raised the wine glass in his hand, clanged it with Yang Cheng, and said thank you.
"Don't just say thank you." Yang Cheng burst out laughing.
"My future father-in-law is a fan of yours. I heard that you have a collection of fine wines, and they are all rare wines from your famous French winery. You gave Ferguson a box before, so give me a few boxes too."
How many boxes?
The corner of Wenger's mouth twitched, and he almost spit out a mouthful of wine.
Do you really think my family owns a winery?
They were all bought through friends.
I will give Ferguson a box. How many boxes will you ask for?
But I don’t know why, just now Yang Cheng helped with the idea, and at this moment, Wenger couldn’t say a word of rejection.
But he knew it very well.
This little bastard is bullying honest people!
NND, if you have the ability, could you go to Ferguson and ask for a few boxes to try in your home cellar?
It would be strange if that bastard old man didn't beat you to death!
"Okay, I'll let you deliver it to you later." Wenger agreed.
Yang Cheng achieved his goal and stood up to leave with a smile.
"Oh, by the way, we will play against Chelsea in the 14th round. You have to take it easy. If you lose again..."
Yang Cheng stopped when he clicked.
It would be best for Arsenal to defeat Chelsea, which would be most beneficial to the Bayswater Chinese!
