2Chapter 17: The captain of the Gunners who is out of state
The moment Abanglaho saw Szczesny's attack, he immediately made a decision.He raised his body halfway up, and then flicked his left foot lightly.The ball was picked up by him and flew high over Szczesny. The Polish goalkeeper jumped up trying to get the ball off, but he was not high enough and could only watch it fly over his head and fly towards the goal.

Bentek took off to compete for the top. Of course, Mordsarter would not let the opponent form a header so easily.Following the jump, he wanted to suppress the opponent, but at the moment when the ball flew over, Bentek did not head the goal as expected by the German central defender.He didn't even touch the ball - Bentek swung his head and let the ball pass.

Mordsat broke out in a cold sweat all of a sudden, he knew that it was impossible for the opponent to let the ball out of the bottom line instead of heading the goal with a good opportunity.The opponent's doing so shows that there is still his team behind him and the opponent. Mordsat wants to turn around but it is too late.

When Weiman on the other side was dribbling the ball at Abanglaho, he went forward along the sideline.Then he saw that Abang Lajo cut in, and he did not hesitate to follow in.The only difference is that Abanglaho has the ball at his feet, but he is off the ball.

Just when he reached the inside of the penalty area, he saw Bentek, who was jumping, turn his head to the side, and immediately realized the opportunity.In an instant, he went forward and completely got rid of Sania, and then took off like a run-up, and slapped his head directly against the flying ball.The ball hit his forehead, changed direction, and flew directly into the goal in front of Bentek and Weiman.Szczesny did a job of catching the ball, but he didn't even catch a hair, and the ball flew solidly into the net.

The Aston Villa fans who came from away in an instant cheered, while Arsenal at home were dumbfounded.

While the opponent was celebrating the goal, Wenger pulled Arteta not far away and told him to let the team stabilize the defense.Then organize the attack, don't panic.

In the first game of the new season, it is not a good thing for Arsenal players to be scored by the opponent at home.And this season, the pressure from the fans has never stopped. Although the protest slogans of the fans are aimed at the head coach Wenger and the club's top management, these players have been more or less affected.

Later Arsenal began to organize the offense, but Arsenal's offense seemed stretched as soon as it reached the frontcourt.Although Walcott's speed advantage makes the opponent uncomfortable, but when it comes to finishing and passing the ball, it seems a little worse.In front of the opponent's tactics of placing the bus in front of the goal, the little tiger's teeth seemed to have been pulled out.Not to mention Giroud, if the French high center forward is reliable, Arsenal will not become a member of the "League of Weak Front".The reason why Giroud can often appear in the starting lineup now is that he is active in running, except that there is really no better choice.Can often retreat to the backcourt to help teammates defend, and often retreat to help teammates make the ball.

So Arsenal has always claimed that they will never bow their heads like a dense defense, and their offense is also very good.But when the opponent concentrates on defending, at least the current Arsenal really doesn't have much to do.

Li Zihan is also anxious off the court. He is also a person who is very entangled when he sees the team's delay in starting the game.Especially when he was behind at home, but he himself was sitting on the sidelines with nothing to do.

Arsenal fans began to chant slogans, trying to wake up the attacking power of the players and cheer their team on.

"If I were a bullet,
galloping in the mid-air of Highbury,
I must know my direction

— go, go, go,

Point directly at the enemy's chest. "

However, the slogan embraced by Arsenal did not bring about a slight change in the situation on the pitch. As soon as Arsenal's players went to the frontcourt, they either shot the ball away or were intercepted by the opponent's intensive defense.

For a long time, the situation on the stadium was like being replayed by God according to the fragments.Arsenal beautifully transported the ball to the frontcourt, then flew or lost the ball and actively gave the ball to the opponent, and then the opponent launched a counterattack.Arsenal's not-so-stable defense regained the ball after the fans exclaimed in shock. Of course, it was more due to the opponent's goal that was worse than Arsenal's and Poland's national goal Szczesny. Great play.Then Arsenal sent the ball up the field with a beautiful pass and then stole the ball
After such a bad cycle, just when Wenger got up to make a change, the situation on the court was finally broken.Westwood and Delph jointly blocked, intercepted Podolski's ball, and then sent it directly to the frontcourt, crossing Arsenal's defense.

"Aston Villa counterattack, hit behind!!"

Abanglaho, who was next to Vermaelen, immediately turned and started, and Vermaelen, who was a bit slower, did not have time to stop him.Sa Yazi could only chase behind him, raising his hand while chasing back to signal the opponent to be offside.Modesat also raised his hand, he didn't know if the opponent was not offside, this was just misleading the referee.

"Is the ball offside? It's not clear, but the linesman didn't say anything, and the referee didn't blow his whistle. Then the ball is not offside, Arsenal is in danger!!!"

Vermaelen's speed couldn't keep up with Abanglaho, who was already fully activated. Just when the Belgian central defender wanted to reach out and pull the opponent's jersey to stop the opponent with a foul, he found that his hand stretched out the jersey but failed to pull it. — not enough! !
"Single-handed!! Villa's chance, beautiful counter-attack. Look at the ball, Abanglahor!!"

Szczesny decisively abandoned the goal again and rushed towards Abanglaho who was about to enter the penalty area with the ball.The body is not pressed very low, and he wants to prevent the opponent from taking the high-altitude lob shot.

Abanglaho calmly faced the attacking Szczesny, one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League, and then just entered the penalty area when Szczesny was about to get close to him.Abanglaho didn't panic and made a push shot, and the ball went straight to the foot of the goal in the distance.

"Abang Lahuo went to the meeting alone!! Push and shoot, run to the far corner!!"

Szczesny jumped sideways at the first time, stretching his body to block the ball.But his save was just a little touch of the ball with his fingers, and he didn't completely take the ball off.The ball changed its route slightly, but it still went for the goal.

Abanglahuo didn't stop after shooting the goal, and wanted to rush up to see if he had a chance to kick it.It’s just that the ball rolled faster than Abanglaho’s. The ball finally hit the inside of the goal post and bounced into the goal line.
"The goal is scored!! Abang Lahuo made a contribution!! Aston Villa led Arsenal [-]-[-] away. This is not good news for Arsenal. Perhaps Arsenal should make some changes. The camera showed Wenger took a close-up, and the professor frowned."

"The camera scanned the Arsenal fans' stands again. The Arsenal fans looked angry. They were obviously dissatisfied with the team's performance. However, the Premier League director was also very humorous. His camera did not look for the Villa players who scored goals and Fans. Instead, they found Wenger and Arsenal fans. It seems that Arsenal’s protests some time ago were so loud that even the director knew about it.” Uncle Zhan Jun looked at the camera and saw the people standing in the crowd, and the people around him. An Arsenal fan wearing an Arsenal jersey like a human but pointing the middle finger at the camera.

"Let's see if the ball is not offside, Westwood and Delph's pinch cut off Podolski's ball, and then Delph made a big kick that looked like a clearance and drove it to Arsenal. Na's backcourt. At this time, we can clearly see that at the moment when Delph passed the ball, Agbonlaho did not start, but started to shake off Vermaelen when the ball had already gone out. So this ball is not Offside, there is nothing to argue about." Looking at the camera, Vermaelen explained to the referee that the ball was offside just now, said Hull House.

"Vermaelen has made two mistakes in a row in the past half an hour, and these two mistakes have resulted in two goals for the opponent. Perhaps the first goal was too harsh on him, but the second There is nothing to say about the ball. He failed to withstand the opponent's offensive core, Abang Lahuo. Maybe Wenger should consider substituting. Li is a good choice. Li's speed should be a good choice when combined with Walcott, Podolski, Cazorla and others in the frontcourt, at least the opponent will not have so much energy to fight back." Hullhouse continued.

Wenger frowned tightly, Vermaelen had a problem and he saw it during training.But he thought that the Belgian central defender as the captain should have no major problems on the court, and he should have a strong self-regulation ability.But I didn't expect that Vermaelen could not get back to his form in the end, and instead lost the ball.

"Thomas, what's wrong with you?" With a face that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, Wenger frowned and looked at the players on the field and thought.

Wenger looked at the time and found that the end of the first half was not far away, so he simply didn't make any substitutions.He walked to the sidelines and made a gesture, signaling the players not to be impatient or panic, and wait until the first half is over.

As the captain, Vermaelen was obviously out of form today. Just at the end of the first half, one of his mistakes made the team lose [-]-[-] at home to a mid-range team like Villa.

Merdesart smashed Bentek's ball with a cross tackle, and the ball rolled to Vermaelen's feet.Abanglahuo rushed up again quickly, wanting to fight back on the spot.Vermaelen panicked a little, then knocked the ball back to Szczesny in the penalty area.

It's just that his back pass is obviously not strong enough, and the ball speed is very slow.Abanglaho, who rushed up all of a sudden, almost picked up the ball and hit the goalkeeper single-handedly. Fortunately, Szczesny felt that the strength of the ball was wrong when Vermaelen kicked.He rushed out decisively and quickly, and when the ball entered the penalty area just now, Abang Lahuo had already reached the arc of the penalty area and hugged the ball ahead of time.

Seeing this scene, Wenger wanted to say something angrily, but in the end he said nothing.He just put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked at Vermaelen with a straight face.

When Szczesny threw the ball, the referee decisively blew the whistle to end the first half.Because no players were injured, the referee only gave a symbolic 1 minute of stoppage time in the first half.

"Okay, the first half is over. Villa unexpectedly led Arsenal [-]-[-] at the Emirates Stadium. In the first half, Arsenal's offense was not opened at all, but the visiting team's counterattack was flourishing. The Gunners defender captain, the Belgian Vermaelen, is obviously out of shape today, and both conceded goals have something to do with him. Let's see what changes Arsenal will make in the second half. Wenger often takes advantage of the intermission when he is behind. Time often has a stroke of magic, let us rest for a quarter of an hour and come back, and the excitement will continue."
