road to victory

Chapter 429
Fan Shang is still very relieved. Although he told the players to attack with all his strength at the beginning of the game, the defense still did not lose, which limited Arsenal's offense very well.

In the 7th minute, Zanetti passed Dixon with speed again, and then made a cross, but this time Keown and Adams fully showed the experience of veterans. Although their jumps were not as high as the two strikers of Inter Milan, they still But they used their bodies to cling to the two of them tightly, so that none of the four of them had to jump.

However, Dixon allowed Zanetti to break through twice in a row. This is good news for Inter Milan. Vincent waved his hand and hoped that Zanetti would continue to put pressure on Dixon.

Inter Milan's players generally chase after each other as long as they find the opponent's weakness. Today is the same. Seeing that Zanetti's side has an opportunity to take advantage of, the continuous pass came to Inter Milan's left.

In the 12th minute, this was the third time Zanetti broke through Dixon within 5 minutes. Zanetti himself was a little tired, and Dixon was already sweating profusely. It is estimated that Zanetti came a few times Dixon literally fell to the ground.

This time, Zanetti no longer made a cross from the bottom as before, but broke through Dixon and entered the penalty area horizontally. Dixon didn't even reach out to hold Zanetti.

After Zanetti breaks into the penalty area, he will face a choice, shoot or pass, but the angle of the shot is a bit small, and the cross is afraid of being destroyed by the two central defenders.

But Zanetti decided to continue to lead towards the goal. When he was about to reach the small penalty area, Keown had already defended. He could not let Inter Milan players appear in the small penalty area without defense. It's too dangerous.

Zanetti was waiting for this moment, and decisively swept the ball to the middle. Vieri from the front point fell to the ground and shot but unfortunately missed the ball, but he shook both the defensive player Adams and the goalkeeper Seaman, and then Hakan Suk almost faced the empty goal at the back point, and easily pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.

"Strike!" This is the situation Fan Shang wants to see the most. Establishing the lead early may allow Inter Milan to play more easily.

Originally, Fan Shang thought that he could open a breakthrough in the defense of the three veterans, but today it is Arsenal's oldest defense that opened the situation. This can be regarded as Fan Shang's calculation.

Wenger is now a little undecided whether to change Dixon or not. If it is too early, it will be a waste of a precious substitution. One substitution.

In the end, Wenger decided to wait 10 minutes to let Dixon take a break. After all, Zanetti had made so many attacks in a row, and his physical fitness also had some problems. Both sides needed to rest.

Vincent also saw that Zanetti was a little tired at this time, and told him to change places with Seedorf when he came over, and asked Seedorf to attack Dixon, anyway, to keep Dixon from being idle.

So after the re-kick-off Zanetti became the one to distribute the ball, and Seedorf became the one to cover the edge, and Arsenal still adhered to their usual policy, the full-backs blocked the inside and the full-backs defended. The player who sets the edge.

Although Seedorf is not fast, he is young after all. He first relied on speed and found that he was not much faster than Dixon, so the smart Seedorf began to change the speed constantly to confuse Dixon. terrible.

Dixon had just sprinted a few times with Zanetti, and now he was finally able to keep up with Seedorf's speed, and he was still secretly happy, but Seedorf suddenly stopped the ball, making Dixon stagger, and then Seedorf accelerated again, Dixon gritted his teeth, and tried his best to start again, but Seedorf stopped before taking two steps. Dixon staggered again this time, but this time Seedorf did not wait for him to adjust back. body, ready to cut into the penalty area as soon as he dunks the ball from his inside.

But Seedorf was at a disadvantage because he was too calm and didn't accelerate. Before he took the ball out of Dixon's defensive range, he was dragged to the ground by a hand behind him grabbing the jersey.

"Doo!" A yellow card and a free kick are indispensable, and of course the intimate communication between Vincent and the fourth official is also indispensable.

Compared to Fan Shang's pretentious discussion with the fourth official, Wenger was really anxious. He did not expect that the always stable veteran Dixon was hit so badly by Inter Milan today. It is less than 20 minutes now. In the end change or not?
After the free kick was taken, Hakan Suk's header was saved by Seaman, Wenger finally no longer entangled, and he asked a few substitute players to warm up.

After 3 minutes, Arsenal took advantage of Dixon before he became a loophole again. Wenger replaced him and replaced Ukrainian right back Luzny. Representatives.

But at Arsenal, he is still a fringe character. He has not even competed with the 37-year-old Dixon. It is thanks to Fan Shang that he can play today. But after all, he is young and has no hard physical defects, so it is difficult for him to be sudden. Said it was useless.

But it is right to let Seedorf try it first. After all, Luzny has the body of a central defender, and it is still very important to let Seedorf try his flexibility.

But two times Fan Shang understood that Luzny, the captain of the Ukrainian national team, is definitely not in vain. He is very solid in defense and does not shoot blindly. The advantage of having longer legs than Seedorf spoils the ball.

It seems that it is not so easy to open the situation here. It is not easy to play with Vieira in the middle, so let’s move to Arsenal’s left. Although Ashley Cole is the king of the left, the king is still in its infancy Letting Thuram bully and bully him should have some effect. Fan Shang is not greedy, as long as he can pass the ball calmly.

After Fan Shang completed the sideline adjustments, he suddenly saw that Pires was defending when Thuram was attacking. Others didn’t know that Fan Shang had to know that Pires’ defense could only be described as non-existent. At that time, Fan Shang As for Bordeaux, which emphasizes defense, Pires has not learned much. Of course, it goes without saying that Arsenal is now mainly attacking.

"Why did you forget this point? There's nothing I can do, son. I have to take you under the knife." Fan Shang apologized to Pires in his heart.

Captain Zanetti, who had been on the sidelines, briefly explained a few words, and then Zanetti ran over to point and draw with Thuram when the ball was dead, and then Thuram conveyed these instructions to Camoranesi.
