There is a dream called football

Chapter 420 Henry's Sliding Shovel

The snow kept falling, Wenger was wearing a thick down jacket, and this time his zipper was fine.

Wenger is already familiar with CSKA Moscow, thanks to careful research over the past period of time.

This team played a 442 formation, and the attack relied on two Brazilians, a Wagner Levy who is more familiar to Chinese fans, that is, the Brazilian with the purple pigtails, and later he played for the Chinese Super League for a short time.

Another Chinese fans are not familiar with, but it is more successful, he was selected for the Brazilian team - Daniel Carvalho.

For the rest, an important offensive fulcrum is Zhirkov.

And CSKA's defensive midfielder is the titan Rahimic from Bosnia and Herzegovina, who is like the equivalent of Arsenal's Flamini.

CSKA's central defender is the most distinctive, even unique in the world, that is, their central defender combination is a team of twins - Alexei Berezutsky and Vasily Berezutsky.

The last standing in front of the goal is the Russian goalkeeper Akinfeev.

After the opening game, heavy snow had a great impact on both sides, and there were many low-level mistakes in passing.

The players on both sides are high-level professional players. At the beginning of the game, it is still necessary to warm up the body first, otherwise it is easy to strain.

Arsenal also have a stable midfield, and this kind of game conditions is definitely more unfavorable for Arsenal.

But in fact the impact of the lawn is not great. It seems that the UEFA investigation is still reliable, but the heavy snow has a great impact on the field, the floor heating is basically useless, and there is still more and more snow.

At 15 minutes into the game, CSKA suddenly made a long pass from the backcourt, and the Brazilian Levy suddenly made a diagonal cut. This is a relatively familiar routine played by CSKA.

There is no technical content, but it is extremely rough. If you cut it, it will be a one-shot.

Fortunately, Gala returned to the defense in time here, otherwise Zhulu would have lost his position.

Wenger is no stranger to this, because he has seen a lot of CSKA's offensive videos, basically it is one word - fast.

CSKA doesn't fight in the midfield, it basically just passes the ball quickly, runs quickly, everything is fast, it doesn't matter if there are more mistakes, but as long as it is rushed, it is a goal.

This can be seen from the opening game of the 2018 World Cup. Facing the slow Saudis, Russia really abused them.

Soon, Zhirkov broke through with the ball on the right. His speed was very fast, and the combination of man and ball was also good. Gallas was defending here, but the Frenchman insisted on not holding down the Russian winger.

In the end, Zhirkov completed the cross, but there was no high point in the penalty area, otherwise the threat of the ball would be great.

When the Arsenal players got the ball, the CSKA players adopted a pack of wolves tactics. Several people surrounded them in groups, which was a great threat to Arsenal. Li Qiao was kicked when he was a little slower on the wing.

Being kicked in the ice and snow is really uncomfortable.

Wenger protested loudly, but it was useless at all. The opponent's movements were small, but his feet were very accurate. It is estimated that he learned from the Brazilians in the team.

The Arsenal players have now finally experienced the feeling of Hamburg coming here in the last game, and it is really uncomfortable.

*****
A high ball passed into the penalty area, Adebayor is the most reliable high point for Arsenal, but the opponent's twin brother defends the high ball so well, Adebayor can't get the ball at all.

In addition, Adebayor from Africa seems to be very uncomfortable with this kind of weather, and he is a little sluggish.

The high ball is a very important routine for offense. It is impossible to hit the ground in this weather, but at this time, Arsenal's disadvantage of lacking high points is undoubtedly revealed again.

Arsenal's offense has completely misfired, which is depressing for Wenger, and it seems that the difficulty is greater than he imagined.

At this moment, Li Qiao decided to make some changes. Although he had no confidence in such a field, he still chose to run forward with the ball instead of continuing to make ineffective passes.

Li Qiao flashed, and suddenly ran forward with the ball, which was a bit surprising to CSKA players.

Li Qiao went down to the bottom line, and Rosicky also followed. Li Qiao could make a short pass and Rosicky played a two-for-one.

This is like hitting the wall with two passes, the feeling of ping-pong-pong-pong, just like the feeling of bouncing back when you hit a ping-pong ball on the wall.

So CSKA's defense froze briefly, and then Li Qiao curved the ball into the far corner.

Henry was late, he didn't expect Li Qiao to pass, but Henry still made a tackle.

It stands to reason that it was too late, but in the snow, Henry's gliding was very silky, just like on ice.

That's it, Henry terminated the contract in less than a second than usual, and it was such a small advantage that Henry's toe touched the ball.

The ball rolled slowly into the gate.

1 to 0.
After scoring the goal, Henry pointed to the sky with both hands. This goal was completely assisted by God. If it was another venue, it would be impossible to have such a goal.

Of course, if the court is changed, Li Qiao's curve ball should be able to bend back, so Henry may also be able to touch it.

Arsenal were celebrating, but CSKA head coach Kishav started to roar, the defense of the ball was too amateur, Li Qiao just made a cross, the opposing defender raised his leg and turned around to block it.

And Li Qiao took the opportunity to pass by, so Kishav's anger is completely justified. First of all, it is a very unprofessional move to twist his butt when defending.

This is like a boxing match. Amateurs can close their eyes when they are beaten. This is instinctive, but professional boxers cannot.

Kishav felt like an idiot for conceding the ball, but he had already conceded the ball, and he couldn't beat the player.

Wenger was very surprised. He really didn't expect that Arsenal could still play such a beautiful cooperation under such a venue.

At this moment, the scene shot was shown to a group of Russian fans in the stands, all of them were shirtless watching the game.

Some people are chanting slogans, some people are drinking beer, it looks very interesting, which is also very similar to CSKA football style - rough.

However, Arsenal will not head-to-head with their opponents, but more like using Tai Chi techniques, four or two.

For example, Li Qiao was so ingenious just now, and this is what Wenger wanted to see.

After scoring a goal, Arsenal can retreat. In such weather, defensive counterattack should be a more comfortable way, but the opponent is not ready to let Arsenal enjoy this comfort.
