Chapter 431



Chapter 431
Half-time game, up to 45 minutes.

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

After a 15-minute onslaught, the physical fitness of the Arsenal players reached the limit of a stage first.

Although they still want to continue the onslaught, at this time, the offensive players seem somewhat powerless.

Under the command of head coach Arsene Wenger, the Arsenal players began to retreat slowly, slowing down the rhythm of the game, increasing the time of possession of the ball in the backcourt, and slowly recovering their physical fitness.When their physical fitness recovers a little, they can continue to launch the second round of onslaught.

As the opponent took the initiative to slow down the offensive rhythm, the defensive pressure on Newcastle United was greatly reduced.

The defensive pressure is reduced, which allows their players to devote more energy to the offense.

Taking advantage of this stage when the Gunners were exhausted and took the initiative to retreat, the Magpies quickly took the initiative in the game.Taking advantage of the relentless running of the frontcourt players, they created several good scoring opportunities.

But, as in the first half, whenever the Magpies striker tried to get the ball into the net, Buffon stopped them.

It is because of Buffon's rock-solid defense.The Gunners were able to catch up from behind and rush to the top of the standings all the way.

Now, in the most important game of the championship, Buffon once again let everyone see the demeanor of the best goalkeeper in the Premier League.

Left flutter, right block.Up and down, in the goal area, Buffon is like a wall that can move.At every moment, he is ready to block the opponent's shot perfectly.

With him around, shooters never have to worry about backyard fires.

This is Buffon's protection of the team and his promise to the players.

He did it.

With him here, although the scene is a little passive for Arsenal.But in fact, the threat from the opponent is not great.Under Buffon's scheduling, the Magpies' offense has always been within the control of the Arsenal players.

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

Opponents must step up their attacks.It will inevitably increase the number of players involved in the offense.In football, apart from the goalkeeper, a team can have up to 10 players on the field.With more players participating in the offense, fewer players will come back to defend.

That is to say, while the opponent strengthens the attack.The strength of the defense will become weak, and the gaps exposed in the defense will increase.

If Arsenal's offensive players can seize the loopholes in the opponent's defense, maybe it will be an opportunity for the Gunners to win!
certainly.A good move can also be a risky move.

After all, defense is always passive, if the opponent takes advantage of the offensive opportunity to score a goal.Then, maybe Arsenal will lose the game completely.

This is risk.

Generally speaking.Most of those who dare to take such risks and hand over the offensive initiative to their opponents are teams with solid defense and relying on defense to start their careers.

And what about Arsenal?
Arsenal have never been a solid defensive team in the past, but after having Buffon, a god-level goalkeeper, everything has become different.

Now, they also have the capital to switch to defensive counterattack for a certain period of time!
Because Buffon is their greatest guarantee!

Sure enough, in front of Buffon's defensive organization, the one that couldn't attack for a long time now became Newcastle United at home.

If it was a regular league, the Magpies might calm down at this time and deal with the Gunners slowly and patiently.

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

The situation in this game is different.

For the desperate Newcastle United, this year's league is over.

This game is just an irrelevant game.

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

Moreover, once the offense plays well, it will be much more convenient for the players to negotiate contract extensions or transfers this summer.

Therefore, since the team has the advantage, the players of Newcastle United will naturally push forward and invest more troops in the offense, trying to perform on the offensive end and attract more people's attention.

As a result, their defense becomes even more empty.

The professor noticed this, so he quickly replaced Walcott and Chamberlain, who were fast, and prepared to make some fuss in the counterattack.

With a calm mind and an excellent overall view, Buffon was also keenly aware of the emptiness in the opponent's defense.

Every time he commanded the team to successfully intercept the opponent's attack, Buffon would always raise his head to observe the positions of their defensive players, and deliberately look for gaps in their defense.

If there is no chance, Buffon will command his teammates to control the rhythm, slowly recover his physical fitness, and patiently organize the attack.

If he finds a good opportunity, he will wake up his teammates without hesitation, urge them to speed up the counterattack rhythm, and quickly strike with heavy punches, directly hitting the opponent's weakness.

In the backcourt, Buffon is like a patient hunter, always ready and always ready to give the opponent a fatal blow.

Buffon didn't have to wait long.

The magpie, unable to attack for a long time, became visibly impatient.

Under the influence of restless emotions, it is naturally a high probability that they make mistakes.It didn't take long before they finally made a mistake.

In the 65th minute, Newcastle United players pressed on as always.This time, even the left and right full-backs ran to the edge of the penalty area, like two wingers.

In the attack, they invested a large number of troops.

However, just like the previous offenses, although the Magpies have a large number of players participating in the offense, it is not so easy to really penetrate Arsenal's defense.

The calm Buffon can always quickly guess their offensive intentions, deploy heavy troops on the way they want to advance, and send teammates to defend their star players inseparably.

In this way, after a few passes, seeing the space for offense getting smaller and smaller, Newcastle United's offensive players became a little impatient again.

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

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

If it was the previous game, Gutierrez would pass the football back or split the side, let the team attack again, and slowly look for loopholes in the opponent's defense.

However, it is always necessary to pass back and always wait for the opportunity slowly. Gutierrez is a little impatient.

This time, he used his body to forcibly squeeze away Diaby who was defending him, and pushed the football aside for a short distance.

After shaking Diaby's defense a little, Gutierrez didn't wait any longer, he chose a forced long shot!

boom!
With a bang, the football went straight to the far corner of the goal.

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

If you encounter a goalkeeper with a weaker ability, such a shot is enough to make him flustered for a while, maybe, if you are not careful, your opponent will score a goal.

However, it is a pity that Gutierrez's opponent is Buffon. Although he is a bit older, he is still one of the top goalkeepers in the world!

For the opponent's shot, Buffon has long been prepared.

Quickly move sideways, take off calmly, and reach out.

With a few simple technical moves, Buffon easily took the opponent's very good long-range shots into his arms.

Even if it was the famous Gutierrez who shot the goal, so what?

In the face of Buffon's goalkeeping ability, such a quality shot can only be regarded as a scum with a combat effectiveness of only 5 at best!

After catching Gutierrez's long shot, Buffon was not immersed in the joy of a successful save.Just like in previous games, every time the opponent's attack is interrupted, Buffon will calmly cast his gaze into the distance, quickly scan the opponent's defensive position, and quickly look for some possible counterattack opportunities.

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

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

In this way, when Gutierrez's restless shot was blocked by Buffon, many Newcastle United defensive players were not in their defensive positions.

Suddenly turning from work to defense, the Magpie players seemed a little unprepared.

This is the gunner's chance to fight back!
After observing the positions of the opponent's defender and his own offensive players, Buffon quickly made a decision.

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

With a vigorous swing of his arm, the football flew out of his hand.

"tiger!"

Buffon roared.

In Buffon's eyes, the football flew out a long arc, flew directly across the half-court, and landed accurately in front of Walcott.

This is a precise hand throw, so accurate, it seems to have been measured with a ruler beforehand!
No need for Buffon to remind too much, the moment he threw the football, the little tiger Walcott immediately understood.

Accelerate, rush!

Walcott quickly ran to the football landing point, successfully got the ball from Buffon's hand, took the ball, and ran all the way along the right road!
Taking advantage of his natural speed, Walcott rushed forward and quickly left most of Newcastle United's defenders far behind.

"Beautiful counterattack! The Arsenal goalkeeper passed the ball accurately, creating a beautiful counterattack opportunity. In front of Walcott, there is a large open field."

"Walcott's speed is really fast. He threw off the opponent's defense and went straight to the penalty area. On his left, Van Persie and Chamberlain are also rushing forward quickly."

"Three-on-two! Three-on-two! Newcastle United only have two defensive players return to their positions, and they will face Arsenal's three offensive players!"

"Good opportunity! This is a very good opportunity for Arsenal to counterattack! This time, can they seize it?"

The narrator is excited.

Arsenal fans are also very excited!
A precise hand throw by Buffon created a very, very good attacking opportunity for Arsenal.And this opportunity may determine the final championship of a season!
The year-long league championship competition has been condensed into this short attack, which makes the watching fans not excited!
Walcott cuts in quickly with the ball.
