Xie Rui's various taunts from the commentator can't be heard now, but the boos at the scene made him almost not angry.He got up and yelled at Cesc Fabregas, "Cesca, you bastard!"
"X, do you just foul? Fabregas didn't back down. He didn't get angry with Xie Rui, but he was very depressed at the moment. He obviously moved away. It was supposed to be a success, but Xie Rui kicked a foul, rude, simple and practical.
Fortunately, the referee was by his side, and he saw that although Xie Rui's actions were dangerous, he didn't make a foul if he insisted on counting. After all, Xie Rui really kicked the ball, and then brought Fabrega down. So in the end, Xie Rui was only verbally warned, and Arsenal only got the ball, and free kicks were not counted.
Of course, the fans didn't know the reason, they only saw that the referee didn't give Xie Rui a yellow card or even a red card, so the firepower turned to the referee, but Arsenal's own players couldn't comfort the fans, they could only feel a little embarrassing , Be careful all the way, worried that the referee will get angry and take them under the knife.
Even so, Arsenal made a threatening shot in the 5th minute.
Xie Rui did not follow Cesc Fabregas all the time. After returning to the half with the opponent, he was restrained by Hleb. After Arsenal failed to attack from the wing, they crossed the center. Fabregas did not Give Xie Rui a chance to stick it again, and with a light flick to the ball, he sent the football into the penalty area.
The football was precisely guided to Henry's feet, and the Frenchman leaned on Ramos, facing the trajectory of the football's fall, and swung it vigorously.
The fans who were still yelling at the referee immediately started cheering, but the excited shouts started, as if they were pinched by the neck, and suddenly stopped.
Then came a sigh.
The football went wide against the post, and Henry's kick was obviously better than Ronaldo's shot, but the result was the same.Ronaldo has no angle and no strength, while Henry is slightly better, with excellent angle and strength, so that Casillas did not react, but it is a pity that it is the outside corner of the goal.
Now it's the turn of the pro-Real Madrid commentator to make all kinds of sarcasm.
"It seems that Henry has not found his shooting boots. Arsenal fans shouldn't expect too much from him. He is not much younger than Ronaldo. The King of Highbury can't do whatever he wants at Highbury. Of course Fabrega Si still performed well, and the level of this pass is quite admirable, I decided to accept him, and hope he can complete the transfer earlier."
"Henry's safety measures are very good. He is used to shooting outside. This is a good quality of a man. Of course, it is also a good habit to be able to do it at any time. He can maintain this in his own home. He must be a good man. ..."
"Look, Henry missed the goalkeeper against the Spanish pussy. It looks like he is worse than Ronaldo! Arsenal need to buy a strong striker. I dare not get on the plane, so I shouldn’t even be afraid of shooting!”
Arsenal's defensive counterattack tactics make them relatively weak when competing with Real Madrid for possession. Even though they have a strong ability to control the ground ball, it is a pity that Real Madrid is determined to attack today and will not fail because of the first trial. Just give up, and you won't become conservative just because Arsenal have just finished threatening offense.
Carlo's shouts on the sidelines pushed Real Madrid's midfield forward, but the football mainly switched between Xie Rui, Guti and Zidane. Real Madrid's offensive lineup was like two partially overlapping large triangles. It is constantly swinging, and this swing makes Arsenal's defense always feel like a sharp arrow is pointing at itself, and they have to be nervous and vigilant all the time.
"Defense always consumes more energy than offense." This is the personal experience of many football players, and now, Real Madrid is using their stronger bodies than Arsenal to oppress Arsenal.
Arsenal, which has become thinner in the middle due to recycling, has nothing to do with Real Madrid's central triangle for a while, especially when facing Xie Rui, this guy is really not particular, whether it is facing Silva or Fabregas , They all open the way directly with their bodies, first kill the opponent and think about passing the ball or attacking by themselves.
This kind of guy who is obviously not bad in skills, does not hesitate to use this method to attack, attracting boos from the audience, and at the same time winning a lot of offensive opportunities.And this kind of offense has curbed Arsenal's center effect in the counterattack very well, and they can only attack from the side, but it just falls into Real Madrid's plan.
"Real Madrid took the initiative today more than I expected. It was almost the pass of Shrek, Guti and Zidane, but Arsenal had to be vigilant all the time. They even had to invest more players in defense, but this The cooperation of the three people is too tacit, and the positions are changed frequently, especially they can also contact the wide players. Beckham's cross from the right is too threatening, and Raul often plays with Ronaldo, Zidane and others changed positions. I have to admit that Real Madrid played an unexpected mental outlook in this game. Of course, their tactics were also very successful. At least at this stage, Arsenal has no chance to form a threat Counterattack. However, Real Madrid’s doing so is actually a lot of consumption, and the disadvantages are also obvious. If they fail to score early, once they relax, they will be dealt a fatal blow by Arsenal.”
After all, in terms of the actual score structure, although Real Madrid now control the ball and lead the score, Arsenal only need one goal.
This situation makes Real Madrid have to maintain this high-intensity suppression, and it depends on who collapses first. Although Arsenal are under greater pressure, they are also very flexible. If Wenger's pre-match arrangements are sufficient, Arsenal Na should be prepared for this situation, and will definitely endure it at the beginning of the game.
Thus, the two sides appear to be at an impasse.
But things on the football field are definitely not going to go according to plan when they are prepared. The advantage of controlling the ball allowed Real Madrid to quickly break the deadlock.
After all, Arsenal still haven't formed a defensive system like Italy. Although they have the determination to defend, the defensive experience of the whole team is not much better than that of Real Madrid.
About 10 minutes into the game, when Xie Rui faced Gilberto Silva, he suddenly did not force the start, but passed the ball to the left rear. It's not all over the field, so Carlos has an open front when he receives the ball, and the closest player to him is Zidane.
In such a situation, Carlos has to rush up quickly?
When Arsenal found out that Real Madrid kicked the ball back, they just let the nearby Reyes force it up, and the other players began to move their center of gravity involuntarily.
But Carlos once again did something unexpected by the Arsenal players. He slammed his left foot vigorously at the football. Of course, it was impossible to shoot from a long distance.
Zidane didn't know when he pulled it to the right, facing the flying football, and controlled it as soon as his chest was retracted. This kind of unloading the ball was almost no difficulty for him.
Arsenal's defense line is already a little messy at this time, there is no way, if it is a dedicated man-mark, their current formation has no position except in the penalty area, and even in the penalty area, it is because Senderos came to defend Zidane And there was a void.
Zidane was not in a hurry to pass the ball. He dunked the ball and looked up into the penalty area. Nei didn't care about his defense at all, everything was expected, he stepped on the ball with his right foot, and the arch of his left foot quickly retracted and hit the ball.
Even though Senderos has three heads and six arms, he couldn't block the ball. Even though the football almost rolled past him, Zidane's action was so deceptive that Senderos didn't even see it in his memory. Zidane does such a thing, it must be used by those young rookies to be handsome!
In the messy line of defense, Senderos' thinking is also messy.
But Beckham did not mess up. As soon as Flamini was shaken off by him, the football rolled towards him. He put his right foot on the ground, and then looked up at the middle. There was someone, regardless of the position, and Beckham followed up with two steps. The ball is passed.
The one who is really messed up is Kolo Touré. What a hole Nima Senderos has dug. Looking at the flying football and the black jersey shaking around him, how to prevent it?
There is no need to prevent it at all, and it is useless to prevent it!
He insisted on following Ronaldo, with Raul behind him, and Xie Rui rushed into the penalty area in front of him. Silva couldn't keep up, and Fabregas, who was supposed to defend, couldn't keep up either.
Xie Rui, who was unguarded, almost watched Beckham kick the ball. He opened his mouth, but he still didn't say the word 'pass'.
Beckham's pass was not aimed at him at all, and certainly not Ronaldo, who was being pegged.The England captain's passing ability is not so superficial. The ball was directed at Raul. The Real Madrid captain was also unguarded. Of course, when the football fell in front of him, Eboue had already defended in place.
But so what?The Champions League is Raul's eternal honor, and his sense of grabbing points is always sharper than other games.
However, Lehmann in front of the goal is not an idiot. When the football left Beckham's right foot, Lehmann attacked. Instead of rushing out to hit the ball, he rushed towards the landing point he judged. He was very brave and very brave. He took the risk and chose to abandon the door, ignoring Xie Rui and Ronaldo.
Under the interference of Eboue, Raul still completed the header dive. According to his plan, he had to wait for the football to fall, but in order to save time, he had to step forward and could only choose the header. Goal.
Lehman caught up just in time and slapped the football hard like a volleyball player.
However, before he fell to the ground, he was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. The football flew towards Guti who was running wildly, and there was still no one to defend him.
Arsenal's defensive line was completely chaotic, as if a string had been broken under heavy pressure, completely falling apart.
How can there be so many loopholes in the defense again?
How could they rush towards Raul and Xie Rui in a swarm?
How could Guti be missed?
The football flew from above his body to the goal. Lehmann was 36 years old, not to mention he was 16. He couldn't bounce up quickly when he just fell to the ground. What's more, the ball was so fast that even if he could stand up, it would be too late to block the football.
The football didn't hang any corners, near the penalty area line, and volleyed the goal with almost no obstacles. Unless Guti received a huge sum of money, it was impossible for him to miss the goal.
The commentators who were leaning toward Arsenal had already fallen silent, mixed with disappointment, helplessness and even the sadness of their own slap in the face, unable to recover for a long time.
This is Arsenal, which had high hopes before the game, how it feels like Real Madrid, which had high hopes two weeks ago-degenerate!
"This is Arsenal's defense? It's great!" I don't know if it's better to see hope, or to satirize the opponent...
Guti opened his arms excitedly, and rushed towards a touch of white in the thousands of red makeup. Such white, like a boundless ray of light, illuminated Highbury.
This sudden feeling made the stadium staff almost couldn't hold back to pull down the power switch of the stadium.
The contrast between the faces of Wenger and Carlo was very strong at this moment. The professor was unable to restrain his disappointment and wry smile, while Carlo opened his mouth wide to cheer, but couldn't utter it.
I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Although one goal is not safe, Carlo believes that as long as Real Madrid persists in attacking, there must be rewards. Arsenal wants to score two goals in today's situation. easy.Of course, this must be done by the Real Madrid players. If they relax again in the following games, it is very likely that Real Madrid will fall into a doomed situation.
Of course, only Carlo is the one who is truly doomed.
Arsenal's appeal was pale, although they believed that Beckham, who passed the ball, was offside when he received the ball, but the referee emphasized the inevitability of the goal to the Arsenal players without even consulting the linesman.
Beckham is definitely not offside, if you have to worry about it, it is also a successful anti-offside, but Beckham walked around Flamini for more than half a circle before getting rid of it successfully.
"Real Madrid used all the players they could attack, but Arsenal lost all the players they could defend." Maybe this is just an accidental problem, or maybe Arsenal only has this level of defense instinctively.
But whatever the reason, Arsenal are now pushed to the brink.At this time, do you want to give up defensive counterattack and go offensive?
The process of the development of things is always similar. Now Arsenal has encountered the same problem as Real Madrid half a month ago. The opponents have successful tactics.
"Looking at it this way, Real Madrid used the right tactics. No, it should be said that the tactics they have been insisting on are stronger than Arsenal's now."
"Arsenal did not collapse, this conceded goal was just an accident, we should believe in them, come on, we must cheer for them."
The Highbury chants had resumed for the re-kick-off, only this time with more 'attack' chants.
