Chapter 166 Exhausted Black Cat
On the clear day, the weather was clear, and Arsenal fans began to set up the streets and alleys near their home court early. The red and white oceans and singing everywhere formed the beautiful scenery of the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal team members took the final drill at their own training base for a morning and took a bus to the Emirates Stadium. At the entrance of the stadium, they were naturally welcomed by their own fans.
In comparison, Sunderland came to Emirates Stadium for the second time in a season, and they were greeted with booing and pressure that was not inferior to the last League Cup matchup.
In the first half of the league, they had already lost to Arsenal at home. In the two-leg match between the League Cup, the team still failed to defeat their opponents. Now they are about to challenge the Gunners away, the morale of the Black Cats team is already very insufficient.
After all, the first fight was to be willing to sacrifice one's life to pull the emperor off, but it was hard to say the second, third and fourth time. After all, they didn't know the allusion that the one-time effort was declining and exhausted, but they still understood the truth.
From the beginning of this game, people also clearly felt the difference in morale between the two sides. All the members of the home team Arsenal were very excited, from warm-up to the beginning of the game. Although they still rotated, no one dared to say that such Arsenal is no threat.
Soon, as the players on both sides stood on the court, the referee directly blew the whistle to start the game.
"Shh!!!"
"Okay, the game has officially begun. I am commenting on the 27th round of the 2013-2014 Premier League match between Arsenal and Sunderland. I am the commentator Liu Jianhong."
"Hello everyone, I am the commentator Zhan Jun."
The two commentators continued their work diligently. Liu Feng chose the kick-off in the first half. At this moment, Arsenal on the court was controlling the ball. Although their starting lineup was 433, Rosici's style also destined that they would not launch a quick attack.
Faced with the opponent's gentleman's style of playing, Sunderland did not dare to be careless at all. They were scored in various ways by Arsenal. They were once comparable to their opponents on the scene and knew very well how to properly launch a showdown with the Gunners.
"Sunderland's team has 442 in this game. Their lineup is no different from the League Cup against the Gunners. Obviously this is their regular main lineup."
After being eliminated from the League Cup nearest to the final, Sunderland's multi-line battle was completely over. Now they only have the league path, and in the middle of the league, they are in a state where they can play in the Europa League and may have to relegate if they relax.
In this case, the Black Cats Army naturally has to work hard. After all, no one wants to work hard for a season and relegate to play in the secondary league.
"The midfields of both sides are slowly intertwined, and Sunderland's careful response has prevented the Gunners from finding any good opportunities."
On the stadium, in the more than ten minutes after the start of the game, the showdown between the two sides was very mild. Arsenal lost the ball after several offensive attempts, and Sunderland did not rashly launch a counterattack but also took over the ball.
In this case, the Arsenal team members also steadily blocked the opponent's passing route, while the three forwards led by Liu Feng began to press and cut the ball several times in the following time.
The double rebellion continued to pull, and finally ended with Arsenal having an absolute advantage. Liu Feng seized the opportunity created by his teammates for him in the 17th minute of the game.
It was Rosici's ball control push in the middle. He continued to communicate with Granero and attracted the opponent's defensive attention to the right and suddenly passed the ball to the left. Cazorla, who was holding the ball, pushed the ball from the left as fast as possible to the opponent's midfield hinterland close to the penalty area line.
Then the ball was distributed to Chamberlain, who was on the left. After getting the ball, the young player directly chose to cut in as soon as he hit the ball. The Sunderland full-back Badsley, who was responsible for defending him, was stuck on the outside edge by him.
"Inverted triangle pass! Passing from the left side of the penalty area to the middle, Liu Feng touched the ball with his left foot and changed direction, and the ball passed through Oshe's crotch in front of him!"
With a beautiful crotch-punching ball, Sunderland's goalkeeper had no time to attack before he could save the ball before Liu Feng could save it, and Liu Feng had already appeared in the shooting position.
"Bang!"
With a volley, the ball hit the black cat goalkeeper Manone's cheek and flew into the goal, and the first goal of the game was born.
"1-0, Arsenal's pass broke the opponent's defense line, and Liu Feng once again became the player who helped the team open the situation."
In the center position, there is no doubt that Liu Feng is Arsenal's ruthless shooting machine in this game. He will not miss any opportunity created by any teammate for him.
The game continued shortly after the goal was born. The Arsenal players did not have much time to celebrate, and it was obvious that the players also took it for granted.
Time continued to pass, and the Sunderland team still tried to control the ball after the ball was later driven, but it was obvious that Liu Feng and the other three were completely excited. With the continuous pressing of the three of them, the Black Cat's possession of the ball did not last long and had to push forward.
"It's intercepted the ball! Cazorla directly cut off the ball under Ji Chengyong's feet, who was pushing with the ball. This Korean midfielder can protect the ball."
Shortly after the game started again, the ball weight returned to Arsenal's feet, their ball control rhythm was reopened, and Sunderland had to become the existence led by his opponent, and the gun fans in the stands began to keep shouting to cheer for their home team.
In the 38th minute of the game, the Gunners' threat was once again pulled out.
"Rossic and Cazorla's two-pass pass and one pass were cooperated. They crossed the Sunderland midfield defense line, passed the ball to the right, and gave it to Walcott. The little tiger quickly accelerated with a knock on the ball. Haha~, this time the Black Cat's defense was not fooled, and they were still staring at Liu Feng in the middle."
"Swish!"
However, Walcott soon let his opponent know the consequences of despising him. The young player made an inward move through Quelial, who was defending himself, and directly broke into the penalty area.
"After cutting in, hitting the ball directly! The defender closest to him just ran away from Liu Feng."
"Bang!"
He shot hard, and although the ball was very straight, the winning streak was suddenly. The next second, the ball passed Manone's defense and flew into the goal.
"The ball is in! It is in! It is in! Walcott scored one-stop from the wing, and he got the ball from the midfield and shot from the penalty area, 2-0!"
Chapter completed!
