(third more)

Facing Portsmouth, which has repeatedly defended since the start of the game, Arsenal was a little careless after scoring two goals. At this time, it is difficult for any team to take such an opponent to heart. However, Ports, who decided to counterattack The Mouth broke out in an instant with strong combat effectiveness. In fact, their offense has always been good, but the defense is too poor, so they lost to teams like Fulham and Birmingham in the first two games.

In the 27th minute of the game, Kranjica took a corner kick. Gallas made a clearance not far away, and was hit by the midfielder of Portsmouth to the wing again. Kranjica scored the ball into the penalty area again. Bull headed the ball into Arsenal's goal from close range before Almunia struck to get the ball.

1:2..Portsmouth in the away game pulled back a point.

The Arsenal fans fell silent for a moment. In the huge Emirates Stadium, the [-] Arsenal fans were speechless for a while.

The Portsmouth fans who came with the team went crazy. They didn't expect that Portsmouth, which has been passively beaten, could break out such fighting power. Applause and shouts immediately filled the modern stadium.

Wenger stood up with a displeased face. Portsmouth pulled back a goal. Wenger didn't take it seriously. With Portsmouth's strength, it is very difficult not to lose. Wenger believes in the strength of the team, but Being scored by the opponent at this time will restore Portsmouth's confidence and encourage courage. At that time, it will take more effort to completely solve the opponent.

Sure enough, inspired by the goal, Portsmouth became more confident in their actions and had more fighting spirit. Arsenal played much more difficult than at the beginning, but the gap in strength cannot be made up by relying on confidence and fighting spirit alone. , Arsenal, amid the cheers of [-] fans, relied on their skillful cooperation and super personal ability to quickly suppress Portsmouth. Portsmouth was unwilling to admit defeat, but was defeated by Arsenal's strong The offensive player had almost no ability to hold the ball, so he had no choice but to retreat to his own half-court defense again.

After 35 minutes of the game, Portsmouth's defense finally began to collapse in front of Arsenal's powerful attacking power.Portsmouth's counterattack ability was suppressed to the smallest extent, almost invincible.

After forcing the opponent to the halftime, Arsenal also launched the most violent attack, trying to solve the opponent in the first half. Li Huan and Chrissy were also more active on the wing, almost standing in the midfield and not returning to the defense. , making full use of the width of the court to open up Portsmouth's defense.

The cooperation between Nasri and Li Huan on the wing has become more and more smooth. He was originally a midfielder with a strong ability to cooperate with passing the ball, but he is still young and not good enough to pass the ball.But it's much easier to be there to build a wall for Li Huan, and occasionally you can exchange places with Li Huan.

In the No.40 minute of the game, Nasri was kicked down on the wing and Arsenal got a free kick in a good position.

Now Arsenal’s free kick has a more routine than before. The ball is a little closer to the inside line. When Li Huan took the penalty, he found Van Persie in the penalty area. Mullen jumped up to head the ball, but the ball hit the defender and bounced out.

I don't know when, Gallas suddenly appeared at the back point, and he put the popped ball on the net with his knee.

3:1, Arsenal once again extended the lead to two.

Some Arsenal fans who were still worried were completely relieved now. They stamped their feet, cheered, and waved their scarves desperately, using these to express their love for the team.

The players on the field were also celebrating happily. Gallas was pushed to the ground by his teammates. Seven or eight teammates rushed forward together. There were two roars.

After Gallas scored the goal, the commentator was surprised, "It was Gallas and the defender who scored the goal. After Li Huan came to Arsenal, why did Arsenal's defenders become defenders with knives? Everyone can score. The ball. It's annoying if a striker doesn't score, but with so many people scoring goals, it's much better than a striker scoring alone, and it's more difficult for opponents to guard against."

In the last 10 minutes of the first half, Arsenal did not give their opponents a second chance to attack. They also tried every means to attack their opponents, hoping to continue to score goals. However, under the opponent's tenacious defense, Arsenal In the end, the fourth goal was not scored.

Arsenal led 3:1 in the first half, and the two sides had a 15-minute break to fight again.

The second half continued from the first half, with Arsenal attacking, Portsmouth defending, and at the beginning of the second half, Paul.Hart also substituted and wanted to continue to fight back, but this time they didn't have such good luck. Arsenal took precautions, and Portsmouth couldn't steal another one.

After leading by two goals, Arsenal's players were no longer eager to attack, and they played with ease. Over the past few years, the media has spared no effort to package Arsenal as a representative of "artistic football", and they have been brutalized by powerful teams in Arsenal. Supporting when blocking, Arsenal players are also used to performing their own art on the court. After leading by two goals, the team began to play with footwork again, and the back heel also appeared, and the continuous wall cooperation also appeared. .The Arsenal fans were hooked, they liked this very bourgeois-looking way of playing, and it was best not to even wet the jersey, so that they looked elegant.

The fans and players in Portsmouth thought that the Arsenal players were playing them, and their anger came up immediately.As the saying goes, a soldier cannot be humiliated, and Arsenal's doing so is indeed somewhat insulting.They resisted harder than at some point in the first half.At this moment, they don't care about winning or losing. They just want to use their actions to let Arsenal's players taste their strength. Don't underestimate a team that has also been established for more than 100 years.

The game entered an anxious state, but with Arsenal leading 3:1, it was not thrilling, but intense. Portsmouth's actions were more intense, and they were using their strength to fight for their face and dignity.

But the Portsmouth people did not succeed. Their strength was too weak. When the game reached the No.30 point in the second half, Li Huan, who kept assisting and serving free kicks and corner kicks, attacked again from the middle.

Portsmouth launched an attack from the left. Clichy hadn't come back yet, so the center went to the left. Li Huan was fast and returned quickly. He quickly made up the center. Portsmouth's Welsh wing The cross was too close to the goalkeeper and Almunia got it. Almunia habitually handed it to Fabregas. Fabregas is the pivot of Arsenal's offensive and defensive transition. Portsmouth is very tight. , Seeing Fabregas receiving the ball, the striker immediately wanted to use the foul to bring down Fabregas and block Arsenal's counterattack.

Fabregas is not a player who blindly controls the ball. He has a strong ability to judge the situation. He saw Li Huan poke the ball to Li Huan before the Portsmouth player fouled.

Seeing that Li Huan got the ball, the commentator got excited first, "Li Huan got the ball, and he is going to take it forward... As we all know, Li Huan's speed is very amazing, it takes about ten seconds, even if he dribbles the ball. It will be slow. Let's see how he counters this time. It's a rare opportunity."

Li Huan moved forward with the ball, and the Arsenal players immediately started running from different positions. Fabregas also followed behind Li Huan, and shouted: "Pay attention to both sides, think about splitting the ball!"

Li Huan didn't score the ball, and quickly used his speed to break through a midfielder's defense. When he was close, two more players came to defend him, and they were also rich in experience. They actually ran on the passing line between Li Huan and Van Persie. If Li Huan wanted to pass the ball, he would definitely intercept it.Passing to the back, Li Huan didn't know what was going on behind him. He knew that Fabregas must be following him, but he didn't know if there was anyone next to Fabregas.And Nasri's position was not good, so Li Huan simply gritted his teeth and rushed over by himself. Anyway, the team is now leading 3:1, so there is nothing wrong with taking a risk. The coach should be able to forgive him.

Li Huan thought of this and dribbled the ball to meet the two Portsmouth players who came to defend him and rushed over.But when he was approaching the two of them, he suddenly turned the ball, as if he was going to take the sidewalk he was used to.

Two Portsmouth players, one is a central defender and the other is a midfielder. They started to see Li Huanben and they rushed towards them. They were startled. They didn't know what this monster Li Huan wanted to do. They saw Li Huan turn the ball to the side. , I feel relieved, although it is more difficult to intercept the sidewalk, but at least they can figure out the intention of the Chinese.

But just as the two of them were thinking, Li Huan pulled the ball back with the soles of his feet, and then flicked the ball with his toes, and the ball passed between the two of them. After rushing past, the two hurriedly closed the door, but they didn't pay attention to Li Huan, and were almost squeezed by Li Huan.

After Li Huan rushed through the gap between the two Portsmouth defenders, he quickly chased after the ball. There was a central defender in front of him. After passing, it was a single-handed ball. However, Li Huan had no time to go past the last defender. After Li Huan caught up with the ball, he followed up with a vigorous volley.

The ball whizzed and flew straight to the lower left corner of the fans, an uncomfortable grounder.

James flew over, trying to catch the ball, but Li Huan's run was fast and tricky. His body had already been sent flying, but he still didn't touch the ball.

The ball flew straight into the net, and the score was locked at 4:1. At the same time, there was a tsunami-like shout from the stands, [-] mouths opened their mouths, shouting the same name, "Li Huan!"
