"Boss, didn't you say that Crystal Palace is in a bad state recently? Can this be called a bad state?"

Wenger's old partner Pat Lace walked to Wenger and complained.

"Yes, Crystal Palace is really different from the past. Today they have been on a lot of substitutes, but they didn't expect their attack power to be so strong."

Wenger shook his head helplessly. He has now completely stopped his idea of ​​competing for the Premier League championship.

With the current staffing configuration of Crystal Palace, everyone from the main players to the substitutes is a strong player with almost no weaknesses, which makes people feel powerless after watching it.

Moreover, the team's age structure is also particularly reasonable. A few veterans and a large number of middle-aged and young players can almost guarantee that Crystal Palace's combat effectiveness will not decline in the next ten years.

How did that little guy in China bring such a group of people together? It’s really enviable!

He was very moved, but Wenger did not intend to give up the game.

Walking to the sidelines, Wenger began to shout loudly for Arsenal's players to continue to push the attack.

That's right, he also plans to fight against Crystal Palace to the end today.

Because he knew in his heart that with the current attack power of Crystal Palace, he could not defend himself.

Although Arsenal cannot compare with its peak at this moment, as long as the two strikers, Henry and Van Persie, are there, they have the chance to break through any defense.

Just before the end of the first half, Henry dribbled the ball and avoided Alves' flying tackle.

Seeing Vidic rushing over to make up for defense, Henry simply did not continue to break through the penalty area of ​​Crystal Palace.

Instead, at the position outside the upper right corner of the Crystal Palace penalty area, he directly used his right foot to shoot a curved shot.

"Bang!"

The ball flew directly to the upper left corner of the Crystal Palace goal with a violent rotation.

Because the angle of the ball was too clever, Cech tried his best but failed to touch the ball. In the end, he could only watch the ball fly into the Crystal Palace's ball net.

The score on the court became 2:1, and Arsenal scored a goal.

Shortly after Henry scored the goal, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the first half.

The Crystal Palace bench, which was once very active after leading two goals, is now much more solemn.

However, Chen Ran did not respond much to Henry's goal.

This kind of world-wave goal is an uncontrollable factor and cannot be defended by you just want to. If someone enters the world-wave, you can only admit that you are unlucky.

At worst, I just scored two more goals from Arsenal.

During the intermission, Chen Ran did not make any adjustments to the tactics except to encourage the players.

However, he only called Modric aside.

"Luca, if you have a corner kick opportunity in the second half, don't kick it directly. Call a teammate to cooperate with you to tactical corner kicks, which is like stomping on one stroke, and then you kick the ball directly to Arsenal's goal.

”

"Uh...Boss, why do you want to play like this? Do you mean a corner kick tactic that directly shoots? Boss, with such a biased angle, with my ability, the success rate is very low."

Hearing Chen Ran's tactical arrangements, Modric couldn't make any other expression except for his confused look.

What kind of weird tactics are these? Did the boss have a fever today?

Seeing Modric staring at him with a strange look, Chen Ran felt helpless.

What can he say? Tell Modric that I have used the "free kick master card" for you, and you just shoot?

The reason why he gave Modric such a weird order was because Chen Ran suddenly thought that corner kicks were actually a kind of free kick, but they were just a kind of extremely special position.

Although not many cases of direct scores from corner kicks, they happen every now and then, which is not an incredible thing.

So, Chen Ran wanted to make full use of the effect of the "free kick master card" to see if his judgment was correct.

"Ahem, I mainly want to give Arsenal a surprise. Look, even if you think the success rate is low, then Arsenal will be even less prepared. Do you understand?"

In any case, Chen Ran still found a barely reasonable excuse for himself.

"Okay. But, boss, if you don't score a goal, you can't blame me."

Modric is an honest child. Although he did not agree with the orders from his boss Chen Ran, he was still willing to implement them.

On Arsenal, in order to make up for the lack of height in the back line, Wenger had to replace left-back Krish with Swiss central defender Sendros, who had just recovered from injury, and then moved William Galas to the left road

Play left back.

Due to Campbell's injury, Sendros, who is 190cm tall, gradually became the main player at Arsenal since last season.

In this summer's World Cup, Sendros played as Switzerland's main central defender. However, it also injured his shoulder and he returned from injury last week.

Just like the first half of the game, the two teams still launched a back and forth battle.

In the 58th minute, Alves on the right used his speed to force his breakthrough Arsenal left-back William Galas and sent a cross to the middle.

In Arsenal's penalty area, Jan Kohler was double-teamed by two central defenders, one in front and one behind.

Sendros was responsible for scrambling for the header in front of Jan Kohler, while Kloe Toure hid behind Jan Kohler with various small movements to interfere with his jumping.

Arsenal's defensive method is indeed effective. Jan Kohler couldn't jump up at all. The ball was successfully pushed out of Arsenal's penalty area by Sendros.

However, Sendros' clearance was not far away, and it fell not far outside the Arsenal penalty area.

Seeing this situation, Modric, who was ambushing outside the Arsenal penalty area, rushed over immediately.

At this time, Arsenal's Gilberto Silva also discovered this huge hidden danger and rushed over.

As a result, Modric, who was more flexible, arrived first.

However, he didn't have time to do any complicated moves, because Gilberto Silva was in place immediately.

In a hurry, Modric could only poke the ball with his toes before Gilberto Silva reached over, and poked the ball to Kaka not far away.

Seeing the ball rolling towards him, Kaka certainly would not miss this good opportunity. He directly tapped the bow and arrow, and the ball was volleyed and rushed to the lower right corner of the Arsenal goal against the turf.

Arsenal goalkeeper Mann reacted quickly in the future, flew to the side and blocked the ball out of the baseline with his fingertips.

"pity!"

Whether it was Kaka on the court, Chen Ran on the sidelines, or even the audience, they almost thought that the ball was going to score.

However, although the ball was not scored, I got a corner kick at least.

The one who took the corner kick was naturally Modric, the number one who took the set-piece, the Crystal Palace.

Seeing that Crystal Palace got a corner kick, Modric remembered the tactics that Chen Ran explained during the break.

So Modric called Kaka over and the two of them worked together to play a tactical corner kick.

After a few simple conversations, Kaka stood about one meter away from the corner flag area. Modric passed the ball to him, Kaka stepped on the ball, and Modric rushed up and kicked.

Then everyone saw the ball flying high and spinning very hard. When they were about to turn out of the baseline, they suddenly fell and jumped into the upper left corner of the Arsenal goal.

Goalkeeper Mann originally thought the ball was going to go out of the baseline, but when he found that the ball began to fall rapidly, it was too late to make a save.

It was the first time Rossicky, who was guarding the goal post, encountered such a situation.

When he found that the ball was about to fly into the goal from his head, he immediately jumped hard and wanted to push the ball out.

Unfortunately, Rosici is not tall enough, and he is not good at heading, so he is not sure about the timing of taking off. In the end, he can only watch the ball fly into the ball net from the top of his head.

“GOAL!”

With Modric's corner kick, Crystal Palace led Arsenal 3:1.

World Wave!

Another world wave!

A corner kick scored directly!

Seeing this goal, the entire Highbley Stadium was in full bloom.

With an incredible goal, even Modric, who scored this goal, was stunned.

When Kaka rushed over and hugged him tightly, his mind was still full of mud.

After scoring, he actually scored a goal. How did the boss know that he could score directly with a corner kick today?

Will he predict the future?

Is it true that the legendary boss knows mysterious oriental witchcraft?

At this moment, Chen Ran's already tall image in Modric's heart added a mysterious halo.

On the other side, on the bench of Arsenal, Wenger and his old partner Pat Lace looked at each other.

This kind of ball can be scored, how can I play this game?

"Uh...Boss, it seems that the luck of this game is not on our side."

Pat Lais scratched his head and said helplessly.

"It seems that's the case. Forget it, just try your best."

What else can Wenger say now? He can only smile bitterly.

Fortunately, the fighting spirit of Arsenal players was not defeated by Modric's shocking world wave.
