Chapter 324 The Charm of Heroes
The speed of Piacenza's ties caught Arsenal fans and players off guard.
Before they even responded to Piacenza's crazy celebration at home after scoring the goal, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the half-game.
The Arsenal player, who had breathed a sigh of relief, could only follow Wenger, who was a little unhappy, and walked back to the home team's locker room with his head in his mouth. Obviously, the speed of light was equalized, and what was waiting for them in the locker room would not be a compliment.
"A Feng's goal at the last moment brought the two teams back to the same. Asxs. The second half of the game will still be a battle of dragons and tigers."
After briefly completing the ending of the intermission, Liu Jianhong leaned in the seat after leaving him on the live broadcast signal. When he was present in person, he finally had the opportunity to observe the new stadium after Arsenal bid farewell to the Highbury era.
In the Piacenza locker room, the players did not have this leisure and elegance. At this moment, they were closely surrounding the tactical boards beside Conte, listening carefully to every word their coach said.
"Their midfield has a very big advantage. We don't need to confront them head-on. Racha. In the second half, you will still return to the midfield position. We need deep space to suppress the penetration of our opponents."
Conte directly adjusted the team's formation to 4132 on the tactical board. After realizing that Arsenal's midfield strength was stronger than he expected, he chose to let Nainglan become the team's midfielder.
"Miranda, El, I know it's not an easy thing to defend two forwards like my opponent, but I still hope you can continue to be full of energy."
After patting the shoulders of the team's defender's partner in this game, Conte explained very solemnly: "Westry and Wolfre will continue to help you."
"We will do our best!"
Nodding, the two central defenders made a promise to Conte. Although everyone knew exactly what kind of opponents Van Persie and Arshavin were, at least they shouldn't have retreated mentally at all.
"Alberto, I need you to get more balls in the second half to attract the attention of the defenders."
After a round of explanations, Conte's eyes fell on Liu Feng and Girardino: "And Feng, I need you to continue looking for opportunities to score after Alberto attracts the defensive power!"
"I understand the boss!"
What Conte said was the responsibility of the striker, so the two of them nodded without any objection.
"So, boys, I think you already felt the huge pressure given by your opponent in the first half."
After saying all the arrangements, Conte waved his hand.
"To be honest, your reaction after losing the ball was beyond my expectations. It was great. Such a fast equalization definitely hit the morale of the opponent. So what I want to say in the second half is that no matter how the situation develops, I hope you can fight until the last moment!"
“Learn from the coach!”
The young players were already full of energy. After Conte's words, the players' fighting spirit was released again.
"Very good, now, give me some rest."
Leaving the remaining time for the team members to adjust themselves, Conte nodded and sat aside and stopped talking.
The Piacenza locker room also fell into silence for a moment.
"Hello, bangbang."
This silence that was ready to go did not last long. When an orderly knock on the door broke the tranquility, every player sitting up stood up.
"Don't forget why we came!"
As the captain, Liu Feng spoke first, and then walked to the locker room gate and shouted loudly to the players.
"Victory! Victory! Victory!"
"roar!"
With a roar, the team came out one after another.
"Okay, audiences, welcome to the game scene. What is being broadcast live for you is Arsenal's home match against Piacenza in the second round of the 2009-2010 Champions League group stage. I am commentator Liu Jianhong."
Liu Jianhong's voice rang out at the right time after the two teams appeared on the court, and the audience's attention in front of the TV also returned to the game.
"The referee blew the whistle to the beginning of the second half, and Liu Feng took the ball on behalf of Piacenza!"
On the court, after the two teams stood up, the referee did not waste any time. After the whistle sounded, as Piacenza's team passed the ball after the exchange of the venue, the two teams killed the ball again.
"The game is still very intense. Piacenza directly started the attack mode at the beginning of the game, and the ball was quickly transferred to Arsenal's half!"
It has to be said that the Piacenza, with excellent morale, showed a hotter state after the second half than the first half, and they immediately gained the upper hand.
However, Wenger's team is obviously not that unbearable. Arsenal re-expressed its world-class strength after the initial discomfort.
With the double cores of Xiaofa and Rosici in the midfield, Piacenza's midfield disadvantages were once again reflected. After creating an opportunity for Liu Feng and Girardino, Piacenza was once again pressed by the opponent to return to the midfield position.
"This is the gap in overall strength. Piacenza's players still look a bit too immature than the Gunners."
Liu Jianhong has to admit that Arsenal, who have more experience in the Champions League, has too much experience in the game. If they are very resilient, they will directly contact the bottom and rebound, which will pose a great threat to their opponents.
On the court, when the game time reached 60 minutes, the power of this rebound was also directly revealed.
That was another slow push from Arsenal. The ball went from Rossiki to Nasri's feet, and from Nasri to Fabregas. Piacenza's three players who robbed did not touch the ball.
When Faye broke through the center line with the ball and passed it straight to Van Persie who was wandering behind Naingran, the threat of Arsenal's attack was not as great as that.
Because there is still a complete back line in front of Van Persie.
Unfortunately, sometimes the meaning of world-class players is to let people know that even on a football field where teams are extremely particular, personal heroism can still seem heart-wrenching.
"Van Persie buried his head in the ball, he didn't pass the ball, Miranda took the lead and Westerry on the side has already started to assist in defense with the nearest!"
At this moment, Liu Jianhong's attention was all focused on Van Persie: "Fried croquettes are very smart. He walked through them before the two of them closed defenses formed."
Scapelli was being held back by Al Shavin. He had time to rush to Van Persie to continue defending after Wolfl rushed over from the right.
However, Van Persie, who had already reached an excellent condition, did not give him this opportunity.
"Pushing the ball directly, with a very imaginative move, the man ball was scored! Van Persie broke into the penalty area from the other side of Scapelli!!!"
"boom!"
The next moment, Emirates Stadium exploded directly.
Chapter completed!
