Chapter 408 Great Hope
Chapter 408 Great Hope
The area around the arc top of the penalty area is about 23 meters. This distance is the absolute domain of Li Yuxin.
In this position, he hits more than 50 percent of his free kicks.This time, of course, will be no exception!
Precise arc, fatal blow!
2: 0!
Li Yuxin took a free kick and once again attacked the city for the Gunners!
The second when [-] away fans stood up at the same time, the moment when the same smile bloomed in the San Siro North Stand, and when the Gunners surrounded a player and paraded like a king in the most famous stadium in the world, you will know who is the real protagonist in today's San Siro!
"Perfect free kick arc! Extremely fast, tricky angle, beautiful arc, Li Yuxin's free kick is perfect! Faced with his shot, Abbiati can be said to be helpless. It's not that he didn't save it in time, but that Buffon's free kick couldn't be defended!"
A kind of sincere pride overflowed Liu Jianhong's chest.
After watching and commenting on football for so many years, this is the most elated moment for him!A Chinese, in an almost artistic way, broke the goal of the world's top giants without any suspense, and it was still on a big stage like the Champions League knockout match. Liu Jianhong never dreamed of such a scene.
Now, this scene is happening right in front of his eyes!
All eyes were on Buffon alone.He led the gunmen and ran happily on the lawn of San Siro.
2:0, 2 away goals!
Arsenal got a very good result.
The year before last, at the same stadium, the time was about the same. The Gunners suffered a disastrous defeat. They lost to the home team 0:4.
Now, this game is not over yet, but one thing is for sure, the end of last year will never be repeated now!
Arsenal fans in red and white jerseys can be seen everywhere in bars large and small in North London.
They looked up at the gunmen running to celebrate on the TV screen, raised the beer glasses in their hands, and poured the wine into their own mouths.
The cold beer flowed cheerfully down their throats, even the corners of their mouths, beards, and necks.
No one will care about this.
Put the cup on the table vigorously, jump up, scream, cheers, applause, and even more violently!
This is football, this is happiness!
There is no border, no distance, all Gunners fans are happy at this moment.
This is the happiness Li Yuxin gave them!
After scoring two goals, all the pressure on the Gunners' hearts disappeared.An away goal in hand, coupled with the lead in the game, makes their mentality more relaxed.
In contrast to AC Milan, they suddenly became extremely passive.
Although they were only two goals behind, they were scored by their opponents at their home court.If such a score is maintained until the end of the whole game, if they want to eliminate Arsenal in the second round, they must beat the Gunners by more than three goals at the Emirates Stadium!
Winning an away game is already very difficult.
With a goal difference of more than three goals, the difficulty has at least doubled!
Li Yuxin's goal immediately put AC Milan into complete passiveness.If they don't want to be eliminated in the Champions League round of 0, they must fight hard in this game and strive for a better result than 1:[-].
This means that in the remaining game time, AC Milan must press out and score goals.
However, possession was firmly in the hands of the Gunners. AC Milan wants to compete for the initiative, how easy is it?
In the past, the Rossoneri were also the team with better possession of the ball in Serie A.At their peak, their coach Ancelotti even arranged four No. [-] players such as Rui Costa, Pirlo, Seedorf, and Rivaldo in the midfield, proposing a typical control-flow style of play.
However, that is already the old calendar.
AC Milan under Allegri's coaching is mostly muscular midfielders.Excessive fighting and insufficient control are a major problem in their midfield.
When facing a midfield configuration such as Cazorla, Wanyama, Ozil, Bale, and Walcott, it is difficult for AC Milan to compete with the Gunners in possession of the ball.
What's more, because the Gunners adopt the tactics of controlling the ball in the frontcourt, players such as Debussy, Gibbs, Li Yuxin also frequently come to the midfield to help their teammates control the ball, which makes it even more difficult for Milan players to compete with the Gunners in the midfield.
The relaxed state of mind, coupled with the advantage of midfield control, makes the Arsenal players play more and more smoothly.
Soon, through smooth cooperation, they put a lot of pressure on AC Milan's defense and formed several threatening shots.
Milan, which lost control of the midfield, could only try to threaten the Gunners' gate through some quick counterattacks through the midfield.
In the 32nd minute, Pato broke through along the left, and Buffon loudly directed his teammates to surround him.
At the front of the penalty area, Pato had no way to go, so he hurriedly chose a long shot in front of the penalty area. Buffon, who had been waiting for a long time, caught the ball and threw the ball directly into his arms.
In the 35th minute, this time it was switched to Arsenal to attack.
After a smooth cooperation, Bell broke into the penalty area and then attacked the goal. The football rubbed against the post and missed the goal of AC Milan.
Although football did not enter, it really scared the fans of Milan.
In the 37th minute, Li Yuxin took a long shot from outside the penalty area, and the football went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.
Seeing that the football was about to enter, at the critical moment, Abbiati flew in and narrowly blocked Li Yuxin's shot.
The scene in Milan became very passive for a while.
Arsenal attacked around their penalty area, wave after wave of turbulent offensive, like the tide of the Qiantang River during the high tide, constantly hitting the defensive dam formed by Milan's players.
It seems that Milan's defense line is already in jeopardy, and there is a danger of breaking the embankment at any time.
Every minute and every second of the game time is a painful torment for the Milan players.
It didn't take long for Arsenal's defensive dam to burst in the face of continuous attacks from Arsenal's players.
In the 39th minute, taking advantage of the opportunity of his teammates to draw the opponent's defensive attention, Bōdolski shot a cold arrow outside the penalty area, and the football rushed to the gate of AC Milan at a very fast speed.
Abbiati dived to the rescue and blocked the ball on the penalty line.
However, because the football was too fast, Abbiati barely blocked the ball, and did not catch the football, nor did he save the ball too far.
After the football was blocked by Abbiati, it bounced back into the penalty area again.
Walcott rushed forward at high speed, came to the football landing point one step ahead, took the ball over Abbiati with a clever kick, and passed through the AC Milan gate in a chic manner.
"Go in! Beautiful goal! Arsenal once again knocked on the door of AC Milan, and it was Walcott who scored for them!"
Oh!
Oh!
Gunners fans from afar cheered in the stands!
4: 0!
No one thought that Arsenal's game would go so smoothly in the away game!
In less than 40 minutes, the first half of the game was not over yet, and the Gunners had already led their opponents by two goals!
Four goals, four away goals, this start is a dream!
Van Persie smiled happily. He quickly ran to the sidelines, shouted excitedly at the camera lens, and vented his inner excitement to his heart's content.
At the same time, Buffon and Koscielny embraced each other, raised their fists high and cheered.Wenger, on the other hand, was waving his fists and galloping happily on the sidelines.
Arsenal's players, coaches, including their fans, are the happiest group of people at this moment.
The advantage of a two-goal lead has given them a vague hope of advancing to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.If such a score is maintained until the end of the game, they will have a great chance to successfully complete the promotion!
The Arsenal people are excited, but the AC Milan players are extremely disappointed.
Of course, they will feel very uncomfortable seeing their opponents running and celebrating in their home court again and again.
At this time, Milan coach Allegri looked very angry.
The passive situation made Allegri a little anxious all of a sudden.He called his players to the sidelines and reprimanded them very loudly, looking very excited.
Maybe it was stimulated by the head coach, maybe the Arsenal players were too relaxed after leading by two goals. After the game restarted, Milan actually took the initiative of the game and began to counterattack aggressively.
The situation of falling behind by two goals made it impossible for them to retreat.
If you don't hurry up and score a goal, if you let the Gunners beat them 4-0 in the away game, Milan will have to beat Arsenal with more than 5 goals in London.
Only in this way can they avoid the tragic fate of being eliminated.
It is undoubtedly extremely difficult to beat the Gunners by three goals in London.In order not to be eliminated by the opponent in the first round, the Milan players must hurry up and fight hard!
They have been driven to the brink.
They have no choice!
"Sun Tzu's Art of War" says: "Throw it into a dead place and then survive, fall into a dead place and then live."
In the most difficult time for the team, the AC Milan players exploded with great energy.Just after Robin van Persie scored the Gunners' second goal, they started a series of quick blitz battles, frequently burning the flames of war to the front of the Gunners' penalty area, and created several good scoring opportunities.
In the 41st minute, Nocellino made a wonderful pass, Robinho hit the goal from a small angle, and the football went straight to the near corner of the goal.
Buffon subconsciously raised his hand up, barely blocking the ball off the crossbar.
"How does Director Zhang feel about this game?"
In the CCTV studio, Liu Jianhong smiled and looked sideways at his old partner, Serie A knight Zhang Lu.
"It was wonderful! Both teams played their own characteristics today, and the pace of the game was very fast. Arsenal's possession attack was very gorgeous and beautiful, and AC Milan's quick counterattack was equally wonderful. The two teams presented us with a high-quality game."
"Yeah! One game, four goals, all of them are exciting. Such a game, let us fans who watch the game late at night feel refreshed and not sleepy at all."
Liu Jianhong's eyes were bright and he looked energetic.
"So, what about Arsenal? Will they continue to attack in the first half, or will they retreat to defend? Anyway, they have scored four away goals. Even if they get a draw in the second game, they should be acceptable."
Liu Jianhong asked.
"It's hard to say, offense and defense are both possible. As Jianhong said, Arsenal has four away goals. If they draw with AC Milan, this might be an acceptable result."
"However, the coach Wenger prefers offense. Therefore, in the second half, whether Arsenal will choose to defend, or continue to take the initiative to attack AC Milan, two possibilities will exist."
Zhang Lu analyzed patiently.
"Okay, the second half of the game has started. Through the broadcast screen, we can see that the players of the two teams have re-entered the field."
"In the first half, the two teams contributed four wonderful goals for us. What kind of wonderful performance will they show in the second half? Let us wait and see!"
At the end, Liu Jianhong did not forget to set up a little suspense.
When Proenka blew the whistle to end the first half, when the Arsenal players walked off the pitch, the fans could clearly read the emotions on the faces of each of them through the televised footage.
Surprised, happy, excited... This is the Gunners at halftime.
From the 4:0 paradise, they just took less than 45 minutes.
Such a huge psychological gap like a free fall has caused subtle changes in the mentality of every Gunners player.When the halftime game ended, such emotions broke out all of a sudden.
Therefore, from them, fans can easily see their disappointment.
However, such emotions disappeared when they walked out of the player tunnel again.
Van Persie took Walcott's hand and whispered in his ear with a smile.
Koscielny put his arms around Sania, and the two fellow villagers had a meeting together.
Buffon held Wilshere's waist, and the two sunny and handsome men walked together, which was very seductive.
Judging from their expressions, every player is very relaxed.The two saps near the end of the first half did not seem to have any impact on their hearts.
In front of the fans, the Gunners are still the brave and optimistic team!
Soon after stepping onto the court, Buffon called Koscielny and Vermaelen to his side, and continued to explain to them the characteristics of the two forwards of the AC Milan team.
In Serie A, Buffon has dealt with these two forwards a lot, and Buffon knows their personal characteristics very well.
"Robinho likes to retreat to get the ball. He has excellent dribbling ability, but his physical strength is relatively poor. The way to deal with him is to cooperate with his midfield teammates. When he first receives the ball, use some more rigid methods to defend. The effect will be better."
"Pato likes to take the ball. He usually takes two steps after taking the ball, and then takes the next step to handle the ball. After getting used to his characteristics, it is not difficult to defend him. It should be noted that he is a right-footed player and usually prefers to handle the ball with his right foot."
In front of the two teammates, Buffon kept explaining the precautions for defending Milan forwards.He told his teammates the defensive experience of his former teammates and head coach as much as possible to help them better keep an eye on the twin stars of AC Milan's striker.
Listening to Buffon's instructions, Vermaelen kept nodding his head.
The goals conceded by the team are usually not the responsibility of one or two people, but the responsibility that all players should bear.
All the players on the field are a whole, one wins and one loses.
It's not that the players don't understand this truth, but when the team has problems, few players can take the initiative to stand up and take his responsibility.
Complaining to each other will only make the atmosphere more and more tense.The appearance of Buffon is to make those unnecessary disputes disappear invisible in advance.
Therefore, Buffon's move at halftime won the support of all players.
Vermaelen is certainly no exception.
Therefore, Vermaelen listened carefully when Buffon explained the coordination in the second half.
In the first half, the opponent made a sneak attack.In the second half, he said nothing and made the same mistake!
Soon, the second half of the game restarted.
(End of this chapter)
The area around the arc top of the penalty area is about 23 meters. This distance is the absolute domain of Li Yuxin.
In this position, he hits more than 50 percent of his free kicks.This time, of course, will be no exception!
