Chapter 322 Crazy Emirates Stadium
Arsenal's captain Fabregas defeated Liu Feng in rock-scissors, which gave him the right to choose first, and he also chose the right to kick off for the team very decisively.
Therefore, when all the players of both teams stood in place and stood near the kick-off point, it was Van Persie and Arshavin who Conte had emphasized to the players countless times.
"Shh!!!"
The game officially began with a long whistle.
"Arshavin launched the ball, and the Russian striker performed quite well after coming to Arsenal, and of course his partner Van Persie was the same."
Liu Jianhong naturally had his name on the world-famous Arsenal team members. He followed the game on the court without any speed and began to observe the formation of the two teams.
"Okay, we can see that both coaches lined up 442 in this game, but Conte seemed to be more radical in the midfield arrangement."
He quickly expressed his thoughts and Liu Jianhong further explained.
"Aubameyang and Ramirez both showed off their offensive abilities better than their defensive abilities in previous games. It seems that Piacenza has no intention of continuing to move into the tactics in this game."
On the court, Aubameyang and Ramirez's performance of fighting to the high position near the center line after the opponent kicked off was catering to Liu Jianhong's statement. Liu Jianhong then turned his attention to the Gunners who had firmly controlled the ball after the opening.
"Van Persie and Al Shavin leaped into the Piacenza half after the opening, but the team's core organization method does not seem to be in a hurry to pass the ball to the person. He is more likely to dispatch the ball in his own half."
It is obvious that Arsenal's tactics after the start of the game are very stable, and Wenger, who is on the long side, is calm and composed at this moment.
As the game time passes by bit by bit, Arsenal, who lined up the four-man midfielder Diaby, Rosici, Fabregas and Nasri, slowly showed a huge advantage in possession.
"It's still like the passing of mercury. In terms of the time when the ball controls, Piacenza is far behind, which is not a good signal."
In the 20th minute of the game, the ball possession rate of the two teams was shown for the first time. Looking at the huge gap between 7 and 3 points, Liu Jianhong and the Chinese fans in front of the TV frowned.
Of course, Conte on the sidelines also noticed this incident. He had to admit that Wenger had avoided Piacenza's extremely high goal rate in the opening twenty minutes.
The tactic of continuing to attack the opening game is no longer reasonable. Conte then waved his hand, and Piacenza's only players left in Arsenal's half were Liu Feng and Girardino.
Therefore, the focus of the game was then slowly shifted from the Arsenal midfield hinterland area to the midfield area of the court.
However, after Ramirez and Aubameyang joined the regular midfield organization, Piacenza's possession rate finally improved greatly.
Although the players' skills and tacit understanding of passing and controlling are not as outstanding and smooth as their opponents, they finally got back 10% with Naingalan's excellent physical strength and confrontational ability and their restrictions on small tricks.
The game did not become unfavorable because of the midfield battle between the two sides. The two teams kept cheering excitedly by the home and visiting fans in the stands, and everyone was still enjoyable.
However, as a professional commentator, Liu Jianhong gradually discovered a little difference.
"Arsenal's possession area is getting bigger and bigger, and Piacenza seems to be losing the area of activity."
In fact, this is exactly the case. Wenger's team was eroding Piacenza's space bit by bit after the opening, and this erosion seemed to be a factor of majesty.
Because even after Conte discovered this problem, the players were unable to change this situation at all.
In such a game, when you frequently let your opponent do what he wants to do, it means you are losing the opportunity to the game.
In the 40th minute of the game, there was still no goal, but Arsenal's midfielders had already arrived at Piacenza's halftime as the team's formation changed.
Finally, in an unintentional pass, the Gunners took the lead in attacking Piacenza.
"Fermall broke the ball under Girardino's feet under his teammate's assisting defense. Oh~, a long pass!"
The ball instantly moved a large-scale transfer from the backcourt, and then Fabregas near the center circle once again showed the world why he could firmly occupy the core position of the Gunners midfield.
"Xiao Fa stuck Naingalan behind him, stopped the ball in his chest, raised his legs and picked the ball directly, and he turned around!"
Once, when Naingalan, who was already left behind, reacted, Xiaofa had already brought the ball to gallop.
"Ramirez quickly fills up the position, oh~, I haven't continued to try someone, Xiaofa directly chose to pass the ball, and Nasri received the ball."
The next moment, the player in charge became Nasri on Arsenal's left, and Aubameyang on the right almost did not play a defensive role before Nas in his own rhythm, and was instantly broken through.
"The game suddenly accelerated, and Nasri had already brought the ball to the sidewalk area parallel to the penalty area line!"
Just like a gentle gentleman suddenly drew his sword, Piacenza, who was used to the opponent's rhythm, was obviously not prepared for this defense.
When Nasri passed the ball to the middle with a standard forty-five-degree cross from the wing, Wolfel, who was in charge of the right defense, had just rushed over.
"Van Persie jumped high, he hit the ball with his chest outside the penalty area, and the ball changed direction and flew towards the right side of the penalty area!"
Liu Jianhong's voice kept staring at the scenes on the court. When the ball flew into the penalty area of Piacenza, he still had a glimmer of hope for the defense.
However, when he saw a figure that was quickly inserted into the ground like a sharp knife from Piacenza to behind Miranda, he closed his eyes in despair.
"Arshavin successfully counterattacked and he received the ball behind Miranda!"
This is an extremely simple single shot. When Arshavin, who is in a hot state, faces Malantanho in a hurry, what he needs to do is very simple, that is, gently lift the ball and pass through the goalkeeper and send it into the goal.
"Shh~, shhh!!!"
Two whistles sounded, and both hands pointed at the kick-off point. The referee decisively made an effective gesture to score the goal.
The next moment, the entire Emirates Stadium was like an erupting volcano and shocking cheers came out. Countless Arsenal fans shouted and gave praise to the team's beautiful goal.
Chapter completed!
