There is a dream called football

Chapter 337
2 to 1 is not an unacceptable result for Villarreal, but they are still not reconciled. They hope that they can equalize the score. If they return to Spain with a score of 2 to 2, their advantage will be great.

Of course, Arsenal doesn't think so. Wenger still hopes to gain a big advantage in Highbury, for example, 3 to 1 will be a better result.

After the pass error, Riquelme is not so confident. When he passes the ball next, he has to look at it first to avoid any mistakes. After all, if it reaches 3 to 1, then the team will be very difficult to accept.

However, in the position of the attacking midfielder, the Arsenal players did not allow him to look up, which put a lot of pressure on the Argentine, so he could only step back and form a double defensive midfielder position with Senna. In this way, the space for Riquelme to pass the ball has increased a lot.

Pellegrini keeps making downward gestures, which means it is very clear, that is, the team must control the ball and slow down the rhythm, which is better for Villarreal, but Arsenal is not willing to do this. They want to play the game faster and faster.

"quick."

"quick."

Wenger asked the players to scramble in the frontcourt, but the Arsenal players did crazily press in the frontcourt like starting a small motor. This is a double-edged sword for both sides. If Arsenal can grab it, then of course they can attack on the spot. If Arsenal can’t grab it, they are likely to be counterattacked by Villarreal.

At this moment, the ball arrived at Riquelme's feet, and now Arsenal has already pressed to the position of the midfielder. However, facing the pressure of Flamini and Pires this time, Riquelme showed a climax of dribbling skills.

How exciting is this move?

Even the Arsenal fans at the scene cheered for Riquelme. It has to be said that the title of Argentine midfielder magician is really not for nothing.

After a few minutes of robbing, the effect was mediocre. After all, the opponent was a Spanish team, and the technical flow was good. Wenger also started to make a gesture of pressing down to stabilize his players. It seemed that Arsenal had to accept the 2-1 result.

"Not bad, but not much of an advantage yet."

Because of the home and away goal system, 2 to 1 means that in the next game, Villarreal only needs a 1 to 0 to eliminate Arsenal with more away goals. This is why they are already ahead, but Wenger is still very worried.

In this link, Pellegrini's calculations are more clear. At Arsenal's home court, a tie or a loss is completely acceptable.

But two goals are too much! !
Under such circumstances, the two sides seem to be fighting in a tacit understanding, and both can accept such an ending, but these are superficial calms.

*****
"Villarreal has made a substitution."

"Spanish player Kalica replaced Forlan and Mexican striker Guillermo Franco replaced Jose Mari."

Wenger rubbed his chin. According to intelligence, Franco is a striker, and he replaced Jose Mari as a counter-substitution, which is no problem, but Kalicha is a midfielder, and he is unknown.

However, Wenger shook his head in his heart. As long as Riquelme on the 8th is still there, the opponent has no intention of withdrawing troops, so Wenger continued to ask his players to attack.

"attack."

However, after Villarreal's substitution, the midfield was really strengthened, and Mexico's forward Franco seemed to be standing in the midfield, and the position of the striker in the game, so to speak, the opponent had no striker.

"What the hell is this guy doing?"

Wenger is always uneasy about unfamiliar things, such as how capable is this Mexican?

Because he is wearing the No. 9 jersey. It stands to reason that wearing No. 9 is the main shooter in the team.

At 75 minutes, Wenger also changed another player, Van Persie replaced Xiaofa, and the formation remained unchanged.

On the Villarreal side, Pellegrini has always held the last substitution spot, and it should not be used, unless someone is injured.

At the 86th minute, Wenger looked at his watch, logically that was the case, but suddenly the situation changed suddenly. When a corner kick was taken, Pellegrini waved his hand and asked all his players to rush forward.

"This……"

It seems to be true, Wenger smiled.

Interesting! !

It seems that Pellegrini has no confidence in tearing apart Arsenal's defense in positional battles, but he may have practiced set kicks, at least he is more confident, otherwise it would be impossible for so many people to overwhelm them.

Franco is 1 meters, which is considered a high point in the Villarreal team. During normal training, he has a good header. This is the real purpose of Pellegrini replacing him.

Set kicks are the most cost-effective form of attack, because generally even if you don't score a goal, you can return quickly.

Riquelme is ready to kick off, he takes a look at the people in the penalty area, many...

But he knew that the ball was going to Franco, and the Mexican was also playing at the back. The referee blew his whistle, and Riquelme kicked to the back of the penalty area. Wenger saw that the ball was going towards Franco.

Can't see it!
The 1-meter-long head ball is his characteristic, but people with good header balls in world football are not necessarily tall.

I saw Franco throwing the ball in an arc, and the end of the parabola was the back post of the goal.

Lyman jumped up to fish, but missed.

Done! !
Just when everyone thought it was over, someone rushed to the goal in time and hooked the ball.

Who is this?
Many people didn't see it clearly at the first time. It was not until the camera zoomed in that everyone saw it clearly. It was Li Qiao.

"Wow, this ball was hooked by Li Qiao."

"It's so beautiful."

"A miracle."

Li Qiao also predicted it, because when he saw the opponent's header, he knew it would be a lob shot. This is the ability to read the game.

Laiman's big hand held Li Qiao's head, forehead to forehead, "You saved me, you saved the whole team."

"Hey, I accept your thanks."
