Chapter 233 The future and the present
Unlike the ease at the halftime break with West Ham, Arsenal players who have learned from the past are very restrained when they return to the locker room.
Although the atmosphere in the locker room is still very relaxed and pleasant, it does not have the previous attitude of deliberately despising one's opponent.
"Okay, I'll just say a few words."
However, the same thing is that the professor had no more to say during the intermission of the two games. After all, for him, his players have implemented the tactics they arranged to the extreme, and the score has reached a point where there is no need to make any more adjustments.
"In the second half, no matter what state the opponent will continue to play, I only have one requirement for you, don't be injured."
After looking around at the players in front of him, the professor would not forget Neymar, who is still in the injury stage. God knows how much that poor Brazilian guy wants to play with his teammates on the court.
"I don't think any of you want to miss the next Champions League?"
"No, coach!"
"Okay, it depends on your performance in the second half. I will make substitutions at the right time."
In this way, the Gunner's halftime conversation ended. When the locker room door was knocked again, captain Liu Feng did not even make any speech before the halftime start.
After all, the current score and the state of both sides are too obvious. Needless to say, what Arsenal has to do next is to welcome its own victory.
...
"Okay, the two teams have been back on the court, and the second half will be kicked off by Wigan Athletics."
As the commentator sounded again, the fans' attention returned to the game. During the halftime break, everyone praised the comprehensiveness and excitement of Arsenal's offense around the Gunners' three goals.
Now, everyone's expectations for the rest of the game are whether Arsenal will continue to score goals in the second half of the game.
"Shh!"
With a whistle, the game started again. Wigan Athletics forward Kalum, who was standing in front of the ball, drove the ball out. The home team's formation did not change after a halftime break, and they still maintained a 451 formation.
When the game started again, Wigan's ball possession was staged again, and with the advantage of the number of players in the midfield, their brief stability could still continue.
Soon, everyone discovered that Arsenal was not as crazy as the first half. Although the three forward players still gave enough pressure to their opponents, the three in the midfield were not so radical. All the players pressed forward and tried to intercept the ball.
This is undoubtedly a cooling-off rhythm. The Wigan Athletics players were relieved when facing such a Gunner. You should know that if Arsenal continues to play like in the first half, they really have no bottom line for whether they can block their opponent's offense.
Therefore, the most harmonious and stable fifteen minutes of this game appeared on the court. Arsenal's transformation made the bloody nature that might have exploded in Wigan Athletic disappeared without a trace. The players on both sides had a foul or interruption of the game during this period.
In the 60th minute of the game, the professor chose to make the first substitution, and center Giroud was replaced by Bordosky. The French big center scored basically the best in this game, but the physical strength was consumed even the most under the opponent's intensive defense.
When Giroud and Bordosky clapped their high-fives and walked down the court, the gun fans in the stands gave him thunderous applause. At this moment, the Wigan fans, who were already inactive, were too lazy to react.
Then, the game was like a fast forward button. It was not until the 70th minute of the game that the head coach of Wigan Athletics symbolically changed the formation 442, and he replaced a forward McLean McKellan with a defensive midfielder.
Such a substitution with a weak will not bring any changes to the field. When the professor replaced Gustavo and Cazorla at the same time as he replaced, the Gunners' midfield thickness was once again enhanced, and Wigan Athletic had no chance at all.
The two sides were really boring at the end of the fight. Then, Arsenal, who was slowly playing the game, slowly found an opportunity in the 85th minute of the game.
That was the tacit cooperation between Gansuo and the newly appeared Cassorla after passing two consecutive presses in the middle to try to intercept the ball. The two directly rushed to the front of the penalty area with two consecutive two passes and one pass.
Then, Gansuo passed the ball with a pass before the opponent's defender rushed over, and the ball flew to the left side of the small penalty area. The next moment, Liu Feng, who followed, appeared like a ghost, and no one followed him. The close-up of the camera was the only goalkeeper's desperate eyes.
"The ball is in! It is in! It is another hat trick! Liu Feng, he helped the team expand the score again, 4-0, and Arsenal's advantage increased again."
A double-hat trick in a week, such an achievement is definitely worthy of any player's season, and many people will even find it incredible.
However, when this happened to Liu Feng, people took it for granted.
With Super Maple's current strength, he should have such a dominant performance against teams like Wigan and West Ham United. After all, he is the best player in the world today, with the Golden Globe Awards.
When this goal happened, the game completely lost all suspense. Wigan Athletics completely gave up resistance. After celebrating with Liu Feng passionately, the Gunners who were all over the head who finished work and went home had no intention of attacking.
Both sides spent the rest of the game with an extremely tacit understanding.
“嘘~嘘!!!”
When the whistle sounded, the gun fans in the stands began to sing. In the two games this week, their teams won the opponent with a big score without any suspense. This kind of pride filled the hearts of every Arsenal.
There is another meaning to win this FA Cup event, that is, Arsenal successfully reached the FA Cup semi-finals of this season. According to the results of another semi-final that ends at this time, they will face Tiger City Hull City in the final.
By then, as long as they can defeat this team that is also in the lower reaches of the Premier League, they will achieve the FA Cup defense.
League Cup, League, and FA Cup. After all these three championships are obtained, there is only the last indicator of the Champions League. It can be said that the Gunners have created miracles. They have broken the iron law of the dynasty for only three years and are about to reach another peak.
Of course, these are things that have not happened yet. Next, what the Gunners need to bet on is the upcoming Champions League showdown in the new week.
Chapter completed!
