Chapter 248: Negative Cannot Be Positive

"Welcome everyone to continue to watch the first round of the Premier League this season, Arsenal's home game against Aston Villa. The first half relied on the goals of Weiman and Abanglaho. Villa is away-Emirates Stadium, the second half Arsenal are ahead of zero. Let's see what changes Professor Wenger will make during the intermission, oh. Sure enough, Arsenal captain Vermaelen, who performed poorly in the first half, was replaced. It was French defender Koscielny who played him."

"Li Zihan was not replaced by Wenger. It seems that the professor is going to wait and see."

Although the fans are dissatisfied with the club, they hope that the club will pay a high price to buy some superstars to help the team achieve greatness.But they still did their best for the team. Aston Villa kicked off the home Arsenal fans' singing and slogans never stopped.

"Don't care about the confusion in the past,

Ignoring the enemy's obstruction,
I won't be sad for no reason

—Fly, fly, fly,
——Gunshot, I have my direction! "

French central defender Koscielny was brilliant as soon as he came on the field, although he made a lot of mistakes when he first joined Arsenal.However, a lot of corrections have been made over the years, and there are occasional high-profile performances, which can be regarded as conscientiousness.

Delph's high ball finds Bentek, the frontcourt center, and Bentek takes off to fight for the top to make a ferry for Abang Laho beside him.Of course, Mordsat couldn't let the opponent get what he wanted. He pressed Bentek to take off and grabbed the ball before him.Mordsart headed the ball towards the gap behind the diagonal. The reason why he didn't dare to head forward and far away from the penalty area was because he had seen Weiman cut in from the side. If the ball was headed in front of him It is bound to be easily received by Weiman.

Abanglaho started instantly, trying to cross Koscielny's defensive area and go behind him to get the ball.But during the intermission, Wenger specially handed over Koscielny, so the French central defender did not dare to be careless.He rushed over with a diagonal stab without hesitation, and opened his feet like a pair of scissors to clip the ball.

Abanglaho was about to touch the ball, but he was frightened by Koscielny's "scissors". It was really frightened - he jumped up and avoided Koscielny's scissors foot.

No surprises, Koscielny was the first to touch the ball easily. After catching the ball, Koscielny did not stand up immediately, but kicked the ball to the side with his feet.

Although Abanglaho avoided Koscielny's "deadly scissor legs" in time, he accidentally tripped over his calf in a hurry.Abang Lahuo, who was in the air, couldn't maintain his balance, so he fell directly and rolled three times on the grass before stopping.

Fortunately, his foot stumbled on Koscielny's calf, because that place is the position of the shin guard. If it stumbles on the ankle or thigh, it is probably the time for the Arsenal team doctor to play.

Abang Lahuo did not stand up after rolling three times, but sat on the ground and raised his hands to signal that the opponent had fouled.

The Arsenal fans who were applauding Koscielny's wonderful and fierce defense immediately turned their applause into boos. Of course, the boos were not for the French central defender, but for the opponent's Abanglaho.

The referee of this game, England native referee Howard Webb, known as "Bald Webber", made a gesture to continue the game, and did not call Arsenal a foul because of Abanglahor's fall to the ground.Although Webber is one of the referees with the most cards in the Premier League, although his enforcement style is quite controversial, it cannot conceal the fact that he is an excellent referee. He had clearly seen Koscielny's tackle before. Although fierce, he didn't run towards Abanglahuo himself, but towards the ball.At the same time, he didn't tackle anyone, but he accidentally brought the opponent to him when he tackled the ball.Besides, he also saw that the French central defender tackled the ball first, and then brought down Abanglaho at the end.So Webb made the game-continuing gesture, which was a beautiful defense.

"Koscielny's beautiful defense, if Wenger put more trust in the French central defender when he arranged the starting lineup, he probably wouldn't have allowed Aston Villa to score two goals in the first half."

After Koscielny shoveled the ball, it was not a random clearance in a hurry, but a premeditated kick.

Sagna came to this position at the first time and robbed the ball before it went out of the sideline.Then lean back against Delph, who is following up, to prevent the opponent from destroying the ball.

In the end, he didn't turn around, but passed the ball to Arteta near the side of the middle.Then he turned around and crossed Delph to advance. Arteta immediately pushed the ball to Sagna in front. When Sagna regained control of the ball, he immediately dribbled the ball forward.

"French right back - Sagna, this is Arsenal's chance to counterattack!"

When Sania dribbled the ball, he saw Ahmadi who was coming to help defend from the midfielder position. When he saw that the opponent was about the same distance, Sania did not continue to dribble, but passed the ball to him and Ahmadi. Walcott in front of Maddy.

After Sania passed the ball, he did not stay in this position, but immediately bypassed Ahmadi from the sideline.When Walcott received the ball and completed his turn, Sania had already reached the front of the little tiger.

Originally, Walcott wanted to dribble the ball and rush directly from the sideline with speed, but when he turned around and saw Sagna, he also saw the opponent's left back Luna.Sagna is dating the opponent's defense, but Walcott has become an embarrassing situation where he is attacked from both sides.

Fortunately, he saw Cazorla in the middle coming to meet him, and immediately passed the ball to Cazorla, and then rushed forward by himself.Cazorla did not dribble too much after receiving the ball, but immediately pushed it to Sagna, who was already free on the wing, with the inner instep of his left foot.

After receiving the ball, Sagna attracted Luna's attention, and then immediately played the ball to Walcott in front.

"This is a small-scale coordinated attack on the right side of Arsenal, Sagna, Walcott and the midfielder Cazorla pulled to the side!"

This is also the pass-and-cut attack mode that often appears in Arsenal. After Walcott received the ball, he was not waiting for Sagna or Cazorla to come up to respond.Instead, stride the ball in a straight line, start along the sideline and hit the bottom.

Villa central defender Clark immediately came to the side to help defend, and when he rushed towards Walcott, he also came with a fierce sliding tackle like Koscielny before.But Walcott did not continue to bottom, but fumbled the ball while running, and the ball flew straight ahead of him obliquely, which was the direction of Aston Villa's goal.

After barely passing the ball, Walcott had no time to stop, and the high-speed inertia made him unable to control his body.Seeing that Clark and the shovel could no longer hold back, he hurriedly issued a message.

Clark slid out of the sideline directly along the smooth lawn of the Emirates Stadium. Walcott was unstable after taking off, and instead of standing up after landing, he rolled twice on the grass.

Giroud was already concentrating forward when Walcott was told to break through in the middle, and when Walcott passed the ball, he immediately took two steps and then jumped high.Another Villa central defender, Vlaar, who had been following Giroud, did not dare to be careless and jumped up.It's just that Giroud was prepared to take off, while the opponent was passive.So Giroud got the ball in front of him, then headed towards the goalkeeper - a header!
"Walcott made a difficult high pass, Giroud took off, got the header and hit the goal!!"

Walcott's cross is already very average, and it is under such a difficult movement, so the quality of this pass can be imagined.Although Giroud's header is not very good, he is of course so-so as a center forward.But in the face of Walcott's qualityless cross from the wing, it is already very rare for him to reach the ball. As for the quality of the shot, can it be high?

The phrase "a negative is a positive" obviously cannot be used on a football field. Walcott, who was ill and had a low passing skill, encountered such a difficult pass again.

So it is no surprise that Giroud's header has not yet hit the goal, and goalkeeper Guzan, who jumped to save the ball, also failed to catch the ball.

The ball hit the crossbar, and it didn't fly out of the baseline immediately, but flew high along the top of the crossbar.

"Oh, it hit the goal post. It can't be blamed on Giroud. Faced with such a 'tricky' high ball, it is not easy for him to hit the ball and hit it within the range of the goal frame. Of course, we can't blame Wo Alcott, it's not easy for him to pass the ball."

Li Zihan did not cover his eyes regretfully like ordinary fans or fake fans.As a professional player, especially a competitive player like him, he deeply understands that as long as the ball fee does not fly off the baseline, is not hugged by the opponent's goalkeeper, and the referee does not blow his whistle, this wave of The attack is not over.

"There is still a chance, the ball did not go out of the baseline, and Webber did not blow the whistle. Arsenal still have a chance, Podolski cuts in from the sideline, and jumps directly, Poulti Poulti."

When Podolski cut into the penalty area from the sideline, he jumped directly, and the full-back Bennett, who had been following him before, also jumped up.When in the air, Bennett felt that the opponent was higher than him, and knew that the ball was likely to be hit by Podolski, so he almost hit the opponent.

Podolski, who was hit by the impact, did not fall down or be hit by Bennett, his body was only slightly deflected.

Although the slight deflection did not make him completely lose the chance of the ball, it also made him a little difficult.Finally saw that the ball had fallen, before the goalkeeper stood up with applause and stretched out his hand to pick the ball, he stretched out his neck hard, and then shook his head.
