Chapter 56: Getting Started and Staying
West Brom's clamping cannot be said to be ineffective. After more players crossed the half, the ball rights finally began to alternate.
However, due to the influence of losing the third goal just now, the Gunners are obviously more bloody and fighting.
After Nasri, Alexander Song and others began to use various actions and even fouls to curb their opponent's possession, the situation completely broke away from West Bromwich's control.
The only thing that makes the away team happy is perhaps the only opponent who has gradually gained the advantage in the midfield, but still has no chance to threaten his goal.
In this way, the advantage of two goals leads them to boldly continue to attack.
In the 57th minute of the game, after the ball changed hands and came to Morrison's feet again, West Brom launched another attack. The midfielder split the ball from the right and quickly stepped forward after Brent got the ball.
The two then completed a beautiful two-pass one-cooperation, but that's all.
"Nasri! Beautiful tackle, he tackled the ball under Morrison's feet without a foul. The referee signaled Morrison, who was rolling on the ground, to get up quickly. Haha, this player's acting skills still need to be tempered."
Zhan Jun has increasingly felt the changes that have taken place in the entire Arsenal team, and he can't help but start to slowly look forward to it.
"Nasri started to advance directly from the wing, passed the ball to the small method, and continued to use the precise ground ball to penetrate to the hinterland of West Brom's midfield. Arsenal's offense seemed very organized."
Watching the Gunners' game, you often find something interesting.
That is, as long as their possession can find their own rhythm to play, no matter how far they are from the goal at this moment, the goal will not be too far away.
"The ball has been placed under Arshavin's feet on the right. The ball is shaking. The Tsar is entangled with West Brom's full-back, preparing to cut in and pretend to move! He deceived the opponent and went straight down from the side."
From the midfield to the frontcourt, Arsenal's offense accelerated again, but their infiltration has just begun.
"Arshavin inserted diagonally into the penalty area, Olsen met him, passed the ball, Chamak got the ball, and returned to Xiaofa."
After several passes and pulls, a group of Gunners have already arrived inside and outside West Brom's penalty area. After getting the ball, the little trick immediately broke into the penalty area.
"Transfer to the front left, this direction is Liu Feng!"
As always, West Brom's blockade against Liu Feng has not changed whether the team leads or falls behind, whether it controls the situation or gradually loses control. At this moment, two defensive players are stuck around Liu Feng.
"There is almost no room for shooting, how will Ah Feng deal with this pass?"
Just when everyone was puzzled about what Liu Feng would do next, he gave the simplest answer on the field.
"The right heel on the heel of the right foot is knocked back! A Feng has no intention of controlling the ball at all. The ball is sent back and forth by the same route. Fabregas! He kicks the ball!!!"
This kick was so clever and just right, and West Brom's defenders were all beaten up by Liu Feng this time.
Xiao Fa's follow-up shot was so natural and accurate, which made people feel the huge tacit understanding of the Gunner's core midfielder and Liu Feng.
"Bang!"
The ball hit West Brom's net, and the game time was frozen in the 62nd minute.
"boom!!!"
"The ball is in!!! Beautiful pass cooperation, Arsenal confused West Brom's defense's judgment with dazzling interlude, and they scored a point!"
"Arsenal! Arsenal! Arsenal!"
"Go back and kick off!"
Under the huge cheers of the fans at the home court of the Emirates Stadium, the players on the field were also very active. When Xiaofa had just finished the brief celebration, he ran towards the kickoff point with Liu Feng, who was holding the ball.
Just kidding, they are still a little behind and it is far from time to celebrate!
"Oh~, Arsenal quickly returned to the serving point, and the West Brom players who lost the ball seemed to be slow, and the attitudes of the two teams seemed to change in an instant."
During the commentary, Zhan Jun looked at the scene on the court with great interest: "The difference between the two teams is only one point left, the balance of victory has changed. If nothing changes are made, West Brom will be in danger."
For West Brom, nothing is more important than scoring points, Dimazio is most clear about this.
Therefore, when he realized that if the players continued to attack like this, Arsenal, who gradually became in a state, would tear his team to pieces, his substitution was extremely decisive.
"Oh~, after the two teams stood up, the game did not start immediately, West Brom made a substitution directly."
In the 63rd minute of the game, Dimazio used two substitutions in one go, midfielders Giles Barnes and Joey took the field, replacing forward Thomas and midfielder Mullumbu respectively.
"This is going to change the formation. After conceding the ball, West Brom directly adjusted the team's formation to 451. It seems that he has realized the start of the Gunners' state."
"Shh!!!"
When the game started again, the situation on the field changed again.
Dimazio's choice and adjustment naturally had its effect. West Brom began to firmly control the ball with his numerical advantage.
"Continue to pass, the pressing effect of the three Arsenal forward players is very limited, and West Bromwich began to delay time, which made Arsenal's second punch that was accumulating power never swung."
From the restart of the game, the game was directly dragged into a war of attrition, and the two teams had to continue to compete for the ball in the midfield of the two teams.
Time passed by bit by bit as the Arsenal waited anxiously.
During this period, the ball possession time between both sides was still open for 50% or 50% of the time.
However, one difficult thing is that whenever the Gunners control the ball, West Brom's players start to isolate the ball outside the penalty area in various ways.
Five midfielders plus a retracement striker, one shot for you, and another tough tactical foul.
The clean ground balls are no longer able to hit, and there are more and more conflicts between players.
In the 75th minute of the game, Wenger finally found a suitable opportunity to substitution. He also replaced two people in one breath, but they were just two young players.
"Little Tiger Walcott and Little Threat Wilhelm have appeared. The professor chose to use young players to attack the scene, which is a good choice."
Zhan Jun agrees with Wenger's substitution, but the only thing he is worried about is that there is not much time left in the game.
Chapter completed!
