~《》~    Chapter 661 The King of Kings Ups and downs (Part 1)

Half game, 45 minutes.

It is impossible to completely suppress the opponent for such a long time.

After 15 minutes of fierce attack, Arsenal players' physical fitness was the first to reach the limit of a stage.

Although they still wanted to continue to attack, at this time, the offensive players seemed somewhat unable to do so.

Under the command of head coach Wenger, Arsenal players began to slowly retreat, slow down the pace of the game, increase the time for ball control in the backcourt, and slowly restore their physical fitness. When their physical fitness recovers slightly, they can continue to launch the second round of attack.

As the opponent took the initiative to slow down the offensive rhythm, the defensive pressure of Newcastle United suddenly decreased.

The defensive pressure is reduced, which allows their players to have more energy to invest in offense.

Taking advantage of the Gunners' strength being exhausted and taking the initiative to retreat, the Magpie quickly took the initiative in the game. Using the unremitting running of the frontcourt players, they created several good scoring opportunities.

But, like in the first half, whenever the Magpies striker wanted to put the ball into the net, Chu Jiang would stop them.

Starting from the 30th round of the league, Arsenal only conceded 3 goals in total. Their defensive quality has amazed all teams.

What is even more commendable is that among these three goals, none of them were lost by Chu Jiang when he was guarding the goal.

In other words, from March 10 to May 19, Chu Jiang did not lose a single goal in these two months of league games!

It was precisely with Chu Jiang's rock-solid defense that the Gunners were able to come from behind and make it to the top of the standings.

Now, in this most important game in the championship competition, Chu Jiang once again allowed everyone to see the style of the best goalkeeper in the Premier League.

Punch left, block right, press up, and press down. In the goal area, Chu Jiang is like a moving city wall. Every moment, he is ready to block his opponent's shot perfectly.

With him here, the gunman never has to worry about a fire in the backyard.

This is Chu Jiang’s protection of the team and his commitment to the players.

He did it.

With him, although Arsenal is a little passive in the scene, it is actually not very threatened by its opponents. Under Chu Jiang's dispatch, the Magpie's offensive is always within the control of Arsenal players.

When the strong attack is not effective, letting the opponent take the initiative to attack is not a bad move.

If the opponent wants to strengthen the offense, the number of players participating in the offensive will inevitably increase. On the football field, in addition to goalkeepers, the maximum number of players on a team is 10. If there are more players participating in the offense, the number of players coming back to defend will inevitably decrease.

In other words, while the opponent strengthens the offense, the defense strength will become weak, and the gap exposed on the defense line will also increase.

If Arsenal offensive players can seize the loopholes in their opponent's defense, maybe it will be the opportunity for the Gunners to win!

Of course, it is possible that the wonderful chess is dangerous chess.

After all, defense is always passive. If the opponent takes advantage of the offensive opportunity to score a goal, then Arsenal may completely lose the victory of the game.

This is the risk.

Generally speaking, most teams who dare to take such risks and dare to give off the offensive initiative to their opponents are teams that have steady defense and start with defense.

And what about Arsenal?

Arsenal has never been a team with solid defense in the past, but after having Chu Jiang, the god-level goalkeeper, everything has become different.

Now, they also have the capital to switch to defensive counterattacks for a certain period of time!

Because Chu Jiang is their greatest guarantee!

Sure enough, in front of Chu Jiang's defensive organization, the one who has been unable to capture for a long time has become Newcastle United, which is fighting at home.

If it is a regular league, the Magpie may calm down and slowly and patiently deal with the Gunners.

Because, in regular games, every league point is very important, the team pays more attention to the game, and the players' attitude towards the game will naturally be more serious.

The situation in this game is different.

For Newcastle United, which has no desires, this year's league is over.

This game is just an irrelevant game.

In a game that is not so meaningful and is a home game, Magpies will naturally prefer adventurous offensive styles. Because this style of play is easier, it is easier to attract the attention of fans and win more love.

Moreover, once the offense is good, it will be much more convenient for the players to discuss contract renewal or transfer this summer.

Therefore, since the team has the advantage, the Newcastle United players naturally put in a big push, investing more troops in the offense, trying to perform on the offensive end and attract more people's attention.

This makes their defense even more empty.

The professor noticed this, so he quickly changed into the fastest Walcott and Chamberlain, ready to do some work in the counterattack.

With his calm mind and excellent overall view, Chu Jiang also keenly realized the emptiness of his opponent's defense line.

Every time the command team successfully intercepts the opponent's attack, Chu Jiang will always raise his head to observe the positions of their defense players, and deliberately find the gaps in their defense.

If there is no chance, Chu Jiang will direct his teammates to control the rhythm, slowly restore his physical fitness, and organize the attack patiently.

If he finds a good opportunity, he will wake up his teammates without hesitation, urge them to speed up the counterattack, and use a fast and heavy punch to directly hit the opponent's weakness.

In the backcourt, Chu Jiang is like a patient hunter, always ready to give his opponent a fatal blow.

Chu Jiang didn't wait too long.

The magpies that could not be captured for a long time became obviously a little impatient.

Under the influence of their unrestrained emotions, it is naturally a high probability that they will make a mistake. Not long after, they finally made a mistake.

In the 65th minute, Newcastle United players continued to push up. This time, even the two full-backs on the left and right also ran to the edge of the penalty area, just like two wingers.

During the attack, they invested a lot of troops.

However, just like the previous offenses, although the Magpie has a large number of players involved in the offense, it is not that easy to really penetrate Arsenal's defense.

The calm Chu Jiang can always quickly guess their offensive intentions, arrange heavy troops on the road they want to advance, and send teammates to inseparable personal defense against their star players.

As a result, after several passes, as the attack space became smaller and smaller, the offensive players of Newcastle United became a little impatient again.

At the front of the penalty area, Gutierrez got a pass from his teammates.

Because the forward line was blocked and the teammates in the penalty area were also stared at, Gutierrez did not have a good way to deal with the ball.

If it was the previous game, Gutierrez would pass the football back or divide the side, let the team attack again, and slowly look for opponents' defensive loopholes.

However, there is always a need to return the message and always waiting for the opportunity. Gutierrez is a little impatient.

This time, he forced Diabi who was defending him with his body and pushed the football horizontally for a short distance.

After slightly shook Diabi's defense, Gutierrez did not wait any longer, and he chose to make a forced long shot!

boom!

The football slammed and headed straight to the far corner of the goal.

This was a forced shot with personal ability. Although the opportunity was not very good, Gutierrez still shot a good shot with a good quality shot.

If you encounter a goalkeeper with a slightly weaker ability, such a shot will make him busy for a while. Maybe if you are not careful, you will be scored by your opponent.

However, it’s a pity that Gutierrez’s opponent is Chu Jiang, who booked the “Golden Gloves” of the Premier League this year!

Chu Jiang had already prepared for his opponent's shot.

He quickly moved sideways, took off calmly, and reached out.

With a few simple technical moves, Chu Jiang easily put his opponent's long shot with very good quality into his arms.

Even though the shot is Gutierrez, who is famous, what about it?

In the face of Chu Jiang's goalkeeper ability, such a quality shot can only be considered a slag with only 5 combat power!

After catching Gutierrez's long shot, Chu Jiang was not immersed in the joy of successfully saving. Just like in previous games, every time he interrupted his opponent's attack, Chu Jiang would calmly turn his eyes to the distance, quickly scan the opponent's defensive position, and quickly look for some possible counterattack opportunities.

In the attack just now, when Gutierrez shot, their players were basically concentrated in Arsenal's half.

Especially the two full-back players, in order to meet Gutierrez's possible pass, they are not far from Arsenal's penalty area.

In this way, when Gutierrez's unsatisfactory shot was saved by Chu Jiang, many Newcastle United defenders were not in their defensive position.

Suddenly, the Magpie players seemed to have not been mentally prepared.

This is the Gunner's chance to fight back!

After observing the positions of the opponent's defenders and his own offensive players, Chu Jiang quickly made a decision.

He held the ball and rushed to the edge of the penalty area.

With his arm raised forward forcefully, the football flew out of his hand.

"tiger!"

Chu Jiang roared.

In Chu Jiang's eyes, the football flew out a long arc and flew directly through the half, landing accurately in front of Walcott.

This is an accurate hand throw, so accurate that it is as if measured with a ruler in advance!

There was no need for Chu Jiang to remind him too much. The moment he threw the football, the little tiger Walcott immediately understood it.

Accelerate, rush!

Walcott ran quickly towards the football landing point, successfully got Chu Jiang's hand throwing ball, and ran along the right road with the ball!
