Chapter 28 The Role of the Stars
For the commentators and fans off the court, the time during the halftime is the chat time when they each discuss what happened in the first half of the game.
But for the players, this period is a very important rest time. While listening to the coach's summary of the first half and comfort in the second half, everyone cherishes a short chance of breathing.
In the Arsenal locker room, Wenger did not adjust much to the team's formation. He made the decision to tighten the team's formation under the premise that the team was hit by Blackburn in the first half and could not be matched by coherently.
The players in the front, middle and back courts watched the icons moved by Wenger and began to determine their position in the second half.
"You performed well after conceding the ball, and I hope to continue to maintain this form in the second half."
"I understand coach!"
A 1-1 draw is not the result that the two teams want. It is obvious that the intensity of the second half will not be slighter than the first half.
The halftime break passed quickly, and the two teams gathered in the player passage again after the doors of their respective locker room were knocked, and their eyes were full of hostility.
"Okay, the two teams are back on the court, let's look forward to their performance in the second half.
The exchange of half-time and standing again, these actions did not take much time at all, and soon a sharp whistle came from the court.
"Shh!!!"
The game started again, Blackburn took the ball, and the team's goalkeeper Kalinic still performed very positively in the first half. After pushing the ball into the middle, he turned his head and rushed towards Arsenal in the half.
"Blackburn's ball control, the home team's offensive intention is very obvious. En Zongqi, who controls the ball in the midfield, began to drive forward, and Chamake pressed towards him!"
From the moment the whistle sounded, both sides had no intention of stopping, so Chamake's pressing could be said to be fierce and fierce.
The cautious Enzongqi did not choose to confront him head-on, but turned around and gave the ball to his teammates' feet. He saw him fight back and then pass the ball decisively. Hoylet, who was inserted on the side, successfully got the ball.
At this time, Arsenal's forward line had already been in Blackburn's half, and the head-on confrontation became the midfielder of the two teams.
When just controlling the ball and avoiding losing the ball, it is definitely not an easy task to break the ball from the opponent's feet. Even if the Gunners' midfield overall is higher than Blackburn's level, it is not possible in a short time.
So the tug-of-war between the two teams broke out.
First, Blackburn controlled the player and tried to stuff it out but was cut off by the Gunners who were more compact. Then Wilhel took the ball and pushed it in but was cut off by Jayne Jones.
In these twenty minutes, the midfields of both sides became meat grinders. Although Blackburn's high and strong midfield style is not as good as Arsenal in terms of ball control, their level of destruction is definitely outstanding.
"Oh, it was another foul that destroyed the Gunners' possession. Blackburn smashed Arsenal's attack into pieces. Wenger must think of some solutions."
Zhan Jun in the commentary could no longer remember how many times he sighed. The situation on the field was really not good at this moment.
Judging from the situation so far in the game, the performance of Xiaoyao who performed well in the World Cup this summer can only be said to be very average and cannot give the finishing touch to his own midfielder.
However, while the scores still have not changed, Zhan Jun is still very patient.
Sometimes due to the length of the league and the exhaustion of various competitions, many top teams and ordinary teams perform no differently during regular game time, and even a little bit because of excessive physical energy consumption, they are not as good as ordinary teams.
But there is one thing that is very certain about these giant teams, that is, they can always have stars standing up with a sudden inspiration.
In different games, the sudden appearance of different stars is used to drive the team's overall progress, which is why so many clubs are willing to wave checks and summon top players again and again.
For example, in this game, when the situation between the two sides gradually fell into a quagmire and it was difficult for anyone to pull it out, Arsenal, which has more stars, finally rewrites the score again with this point.
In the 70th minute of the game, Arsenal took the ball in the midfield, and Wilhelm was replaced by Alexander Song, who replaced him in the field in 65 minutes.
"Arsenal has taken the ball and attacked again. The second half is already half over. How could one of the two teams play so hard? Oh~, the ball was given to Fabregas' feet."
Zhan Jun had time to tease the performance of the two teams at this moment, which showed a lot of problems, but what happened later made him and the fans who were already considering whether to go to bed early in front of the TV were energetic.
"Xiao Fa is facing the ball, and En Zongqi is closely following him. It seems that the opponent has made up his mind not to let him take the ball well, and it is just leaking the ball, beautiful! Xiao Fa turns around and gets rid of En Zongqi's follow-up defense once."
On the court, Xiao Fa's performance was far from over. After a missed ball, he also had to face a Blackburn midfielder - home team's defensive champion Jaymene Jones.
"The past is coming in a diagonal direction, and Xiaofa's advancement begins to accelerate. His condition looks good, a fake move to the right, fried croquettes! Jones is passed!"
It is neat and neat, and it is far less gorgeous than practical for midfielders with the style of Xiaofa. This is also a valuable experience he has learned from national team elder brothers Iniesta and Xavi.
What happened next was not complicated. Fabregas, who had escaped two midfielders in succession, began to rush towards Blackburn's back line, and at the same time, the Gunners' three forward players also began to push forward quickly.
"Blackburn Xiaofa and Diaby on the right faced Blackburn's back line, while Liu Feng and Walcott were still following him. Oh~, Xiaofa resolutely divided the ball to the left and stopped for a while! A defensive loophole appeared!"
When Liu Feng left in the astonished eyes of his opponent, there were only three defenders left in front of the goalkeeper. When Liu Feng broke into the penalty area from the left, the right center back had to come to him.
"Shift the ball directly, Liu Feng stuck to the loophole in the opponent's defense."
"Swish!"
The ball came to Chamak's feet the next moment, and the center seemed to have slowly found his most suitable kicking style and directly knocked the ball behind him with an idea.
"Bang!"
