Chapter 22: A flash in the pan

In the 38th minute of the game, the score of the game was rewritten again. When the score of 4-0 was displayed on the high-hanging scoreboard, the game had actually ended early.

Blackpool's morale is no longer a hit, and some players are even a little grateful, because this goal is not as dense as the first three goals, at least it proves that the team can still hold on to Arsenal for a while.

Arsenal's celebration did not last long this time, but the joy on the players' faces could not be dissipated. Without such data at halftime, the atmosphere of the entire Emirates Stadium was like the New Year.

When the two teams regrouped and returned to the serving point, the visiting team members had only one idea in their minds, why this game was so long.

"The two sides kicked off again, and the huge lead has completely imbalanced the mentality of both sides. Blackpool has already sat down and waited for death."

Zhan Jun had realized that the game had entered garbage time in the first half, so he shook his head and continued to explain the game.

"Blackpool has taken the ball in the first half, and the Arsenal players no longer waste their energy to fight, and both sides have begun to waste time at the same time."

The lagging back and the leading side began to consume time at the same time. This game is unheard of, but it really happened at this moment. Maybe the away team's condition in the second half will rebound after halftime, but for the rest of the first half, that's it...

So, when the referee blew the whistle to the end of the half, both sides returned to the locker room as they wished.

Wenger was very satisfied with the team's leading score so big, and was satisfied that he praised the team's performance, congratulated Liu Feng on his hat trick, and then left the time to the players.

As for Blackpool, according to staff who later served near the visiting team locker room, the visiting team coach's roar almost collapsed the ceiling.

It turns out that the hair dryer is still effective, at least after the midfield, the appearance of Blackpool's team changed.

Soon, the second half of the game was announced as the two teams finished their half-time stand.

The referee's whistle fell to the ground, and Blackpool, who took the ball for the fifth time, made a statement. The team's midfielder Charlie Adam took the ball, and the ball did not pass backwards in the next moment as in the first half.

"Charlie Adam hit Granding with one kick, Blackpool started to press on the middle, and they finally started to try to get the score back."

Somehow, after seeing this scene, Zhan Jun finally felt a little more respect for Blackpool.

There is almost no such newly promoted team who entered the Premier League for the first time in history who can compete with the team that has been in the Premier League for many years, but playing is just one aspect, and giving up directly without even playing is indeed another aspect.

At this time, watching Blackpool's well-behaved offense and the attack of each player who was highly nervous but firm, even the booing that had never stopped at the Emirates Stadium was much weaker.

For a moment, perhaps due to excessive relaxation in the midfield, Arsenal did not catch Blackpool's pressure.

In a hurry, the Gunners' players had to quickly return to defense. After the situation on the field began in the second half, Blackpool took the initiative.

"Oh~, the situation has changed directly, and it was too relaxed that the Gunners were unable to continue to take the initiative at the beginning."

"boom!!!"

Just as Zhan Jun and countless fans were paying attention to the situation on the field, a muffled thunder sounded from the sky above the Chiefs' Stadium, and then a heavy rain suddenly fell.

“Shit!”

The rain came so fast, so fast that Blackpool's offense had just advanced to the Arsenal midfield hinterland and was affected by the rain.

"The ball was broken! After the field became wet and slippery, the players misjudged the judgment of the ball's route. Wilhel directly broke the ball, and Arsenal launched a counterattack on the spot."

The sudden heavy rain had the same impact on the two teams. Liu Feng, who had just arrived in London, obviously had not adapted to the weather that was just right here. When Wilshire directly kicked the ball over with a big foot, he misjudged the landing point of the ball for the first time.

So, on the court, Liu Feng and another midfielder in charge of defense, began to chase the ball at the same time. The final result was that the opponent kicked the ball to the sideline.

Although Blackpool then continued to control the ball, it was obviously difficult to continue to reach the suppression of Arsenal at the beginning.

The rain kept falling, getting heavier and heavier. The fans in the stands sat under the eaves of the court, but those who stood in front of the game had been soaked into a drowned chicken. For a moment, the enthusiasm at the scene seemed to have been extinguished.

"The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the pace of the game between the two teams has begun to slow down. The game has reached sixty minutes."

In this state, the passage of time continues to accelerate. The players on both sides drew a lot of time before slowly adapting to the new pace of moving the slippery ball on the lawn.

As an Arsenal striker, Liu Feng finally felt the gap between himself and his teammates for the first time. He is from Serie A at all, so he does not have these teammates who have been playing football in London for many years and have adapted to the London weather.

Wenger on the sidelines made a new decision after watching the time again. He called Chamak and Zhulu, who were sitting on the bench, signaling them to go to warm up.

Five minutes later, Arsenal made two substitutions directly.

Wenger replaced two new players Liu Feng and Koscheerney with Chamak and Julu. With the overall situation of the 4-0 game set, the team will have much less to do next.

"Liu Feng was replaced. In this game, he received cheers from all Gunners fans, and he could see that he was completely accepted by the Arsenal fans now."

Zhan Jun, who was sitting in the commentary, did not comment much on these two substitutions: "Koscheerney's performance in this game is also remarkable, and Arsenal's signings in this summer can be said to be quite successful."

When Liu Feng got out of the court, the game on the court was completely slowed down, and the two teams began to significantly reduce the penetration of ground balls and played the traditional long pass rush of the Premier League.

Even so, Blackpool still has no team's main tactics, Arsenal, who focuses on passing and control, plays better and more skillfully.

As time goes by, there is no sign of the away team again. After a short while of mastering the rhythm of the game for a period of time, Blackpool once again became the weaker side that Arsenal has to squeeze.
