Chapter 11 Back to the starting line
In the Premier League in recent years, Everton is definitely the most troublesome existence for the wealthy clubs.
Because of Moyes' personal style for a long time, Everton is now like a copper pea that cannot be beaten and stir-fried. It is hard, difficult to chew and stubborn.
After the tactical style was established, Everton's tactical system almost didn't need to be studied. There was only a few moves over and over, long passes, crosses from the side, and winning at a high point. There is nothing to say.
But just a few moves became the winning trick under Moyes and his team members.
The Toffees' record in the Premier League in recent years is very interesting, that is, their winning rates are very stable and even when playing with ordinary teams and giant teams. Whether it is a top team or a relegation team, they will encounter the same obstacles when facing them.
If you are lucky or the player breaks my defense and curbs my tactics, then congratulations, you will get points.
I fucked you by a goal if you are not lucky. Sorry, what you have to face is the increasingly crazy long passes and headers. Everton, who has a tough style, has never been afraid of anyone in playing a tailwind.
At this moment, Arsenal was obviously not lucky. They were first scored by Everton, but judging from their players' condition, they obviously had not found their own rhythm.
Wenger on the sidelines had already frowned. He kept shouting to the players with a gloomy expression after conceding the ball on the court, and making demands to them. After all, the team's performance on the court is different from the performance before the game.
"Control the ball, don't worry!"
Realizing that Everton was in a period of morale booming, Wenger did not direct the team to launch a counterattack as soon as possible.
This is clearly reflected after the re-telection.
"Okay, both sides have re-started, Chamak pushed the ball towards Arshavin. This new player in the Arsenal season just missed a very good opportunity, and now they are in a situation of falling behind."
As Zhan Jun's voice sounded again, the game kicked off again, and Arsenal began to seek to control the ball in his own half as soon as the kickoff was kicked off.
"The ball is constantly rotating with Rosici as the fulcrum. The Czech midfielder performed very well. In the absence of Fabregas, he controlled Arsenal's halftime well."
In the following time, Arsenal finally slowly kicked out his feelings.
Due to Wenger's high requirements for players' pass-through skills, all Gunners are constantly strengthening this item in their daily training.
At this moment, this skill in basic movements allowed them to steadily control the ball under the pressing of Everton's high-speed press.
This ball control was nearly five minutes. Although there were several tentative attacks during this period, after Nasri and Chamak encountered very firm obstacles, the ball returned to Rossiki's feet.
Slowly, Arsenal's ball control location began to change. The midfielders who were already very close to each other came to Everton's half, which made Everton's players and Moyes on the sidelines feel a little irritable.
After all, everyone knows that when Arsenal starts to control the ball and slowly advance, his own goal is likely to be in danger.
In fact, this is exactly the case. In the 40th minute of the game, after the two sides finally had several ball exchanges, the initiative was still firmly controlled at Arsenal's feet.
Rosici, who controls the ball, seizes the opportunity at the moment when the Everton defender swaps positions.
"Rossici was in Everton's halftime possession, Neville was constantly pressing against him, and Chamake and Nasri were constantly interspersing on the left side, oh~, pass! Rossici made a pass and the ball flew to the left!"
At that moment, Pinal, who was in charge of guarding Nasri, did not follow him closely.
When Nasri drove at full speed at Everton full-back Coleman had time to come to the ball and stabbed the ball behind him, Arsenal's attack suddenly accelerated.
"Forcibly break through, Nasri knocked away Coleman. His speed should not be underestimated. Baynes quickly made up for the sidelines, directly crossed the triangle Chamake to get the ball, and he also directly entered the penalty area!"
It was soon said that all this happened in just a few seconds. When Baynes had no time to withdraw and return to defense, another Everton defender Jagilka hurriedly faced Chamak who was dribbling the ball.
Just as Chamak was about to kick the ball to the right and pull away the defender to insert it quickly, Jagirka made a move.
"After one kick, hey, I didn't get the ball. Chamak fell to the ground. This was a foul!"
"Shh!!!"
After Zhan Jun shouted for a foul, the referee also blew the foul whistle directly. His hands pointed at the penalty spot, took out a yellow card and walked towards Jagilka.
"Chamak has gotten back on his feet and it seems he is not a big deal. He won a penalty for Arsenal!"
The chaos on the court did not last long, and even the Everton players did not argue with the referee when the foul location and foul action were very clear.
After some discussion, Rosici slowly walked to the penalty spot. He was a very suitable candidate in terms of his seniority and strength.
Then, after the atmosphere on the court fell silent for a short time, the referee blew the whistle in his mouth.
"Shh!!!"
"Rossicki started running, his steps were very light, and if nothing unexpected happened, it would be a skilled shot, shot!!!"
"Bang!"
With a slump, the ball rose up in response. During the short distance it reached Everton's goal, the ball made an extremely obvious arc.
Everton's goalkeeper completely lost the opportunity to save the penalty after moving toward his right hand for the first reaction.
"Swish!"
The ball hit the net and made a refreshing sound. The punishment player Rosici also hugged the teammates running over him excitedly.
In the 44th minute of the game, Arsenal relied on this penalty to tie the score, and the two sides returned to the same starting line again.
"Arsenal! Arsenal! Arsenal!"
In the stands, the cheers of the Gunners' Expedition fans reached the peak at this moment, and equalizing before the half-time is a thing to celebrate for every Arsenal.
After a period of joyful celebration, the time left in the first half has been exhausted.
When the two teams stood opposite each other again on the court and started the game again with the referee's whistle, the game did not last long.
After Everton had about thirty seconds of possession, a decisive whistle stopped the game.
Chapter completed!
