There is a dream called football

Chapter 456 Arsenal Counterattack

Cocu also snapped, "Come on, kid."

This kind of frontal confrontation is relatively fierce, and if it is not done well, both sides will be turned on their backs, or even injured.

This is like a "game of chickens", like two motorcycles coming towards each other, it depends on who gets out of the way first, but Li Qiao doesn't seem to have such a plan.

Finally Cocu stretched his foot.

Li Qiao flew out, and Cocu also received a yellow card.

"No, no, no." Cocu shook his finger at the referee, "It was the opponent who hit me, and there is nothing wrong with me."

The referee also shook his head, and then pointed to the location of the free kick.

Unexpectedly, it was this free kick that changed the situation of the game!

Rosicky took a free kick and the ball flew high. Goalkeeper Gomez saved the ball out of the bottom line just to be safe.

Arsenal got a corner kick, and it was this corner kick that was seized by Arsenal!
It was Rosicky who went to kick off. This time, Li Qiao was in ambush in front of the penalty area, and Rosicky's ball was in front of the penalty area.

The ball quickly drove to the front of the penalty area, but Eindhoven's defense was already in place, and there was a special person to mark Li Qiao at the front.

The purpose of the defensive players is also very clear, that is to not allow Li Qiao to turn around. You can head the ball or ferry, but you are never allowed to turn around.

This is a very simple reason. There is no threat to a direct header from the front post, but once you turn around, it will be difficult. A kick from such a short distance is really not good.

The ball flew towards Li Qiao, and the defensive players behind him were also clinging to each other. Under such circumstances, Li Qiao made an ingenious move—the scorpion wagging its tail.

Although this action was carried forward by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, it is indeed not Ibrahimovic's first creation, but there are too few people who can kick the scorpion's tail, which requires high flexibility.

With his back to the goal, Li Qiao flicked his right foot back. This was not a shot by the scorpion, but a pass by the scorpion.

This greatly exceeded the expectations of the Eindhoven players, and Van Persie in the middle understood it. After catching up, he tapped his forehead lightly and pushed the ball into the near corner of the goal.

The ball went in! ! !
There was a huge boo at Philippe Stadium, which was given to Arsenal and also to his own team.

Don't relax!The game is still long!
1 to 2.

The expression on Koeman's face suddenly became ugly. This is an away goal, it's too cheating.

As for Arsenal, they were naturally overjoyed. Wenger couldn't hide his excitement, because 1-2 would be the final score. If there was an away goal, it would be much easier to return home.

Of course, if possible, Wenger still hopes to continue to score goals. If the score is equalized, it will be great.

And it's definitely not easy, because maybe PSV thought the exact opposite, maybe what they thought was to score another goal and make the score 3-1, which would be much better.

After scoring the goal, the entire Arsenal team finally relaxed, and the possession of the ball was much more stable. This is what Koeman hates to see the most, because once a team like Arsenal honestly controls the ball, the threat is too great.

Soon, Arsenal created another good opportunity. This time, Henry took the ball in front of the penalty area and suddenly swung the arch of his foot, as if he was going to shoot. However, after deceiving the opponent's defender, Henry suddenly smashed the ball. In this case, Henry may squeeze in at any time to achieve a single-handed opportunity.

At this moment, the rest of PSV's players filled their positions in time, and Henry could only take advantage of the opponent's unsteady footing and take a shot with his left foot. However, compared with Henry's right foot, his left foot is indeed still a bit weak, and the goal was missed.

However, the entire stadium was already howling, because these few minutes were too tense, and PSV's defense seemed to be unable to withstand it, which was very worrying.

Koeman kept gesturing. He knew that this was an exchange of morale between the two sides. After pulling back a goal, Arsenal's morale was completely up, and they were no longer as at a loss as they were at the beginning.

So PSV must stabilize.

"Stop fighting in midfield, go forward, go forward."

Koeman is still very calm. Whether it is before or during the game, he knows that it is impossible to play skills with Arsenal's powerful midfielder, so bypassing the midfielder is the only and best strategy.

Cocu sent a kick to Kone, and the Ivorian looked at the ball while looking at his fellow Toure.

At the moment of protecting the ball, Kone hit Toure first, which hit Toure hard.

The referee also warned Kone, but it can also be seen that Kone's confrontation ability on the forward line is really strong. Once he is squeezed by him, he may break through directly and form a single-handed shot.

So Wenger is also thinking about ways. It seems that he can't relax just because the opponent's midfielder lacks technical content. This seems wrong.

The fact is also the same. Eindhoven's long pass from the midfielder in the backcourt is obviously specially practiced, and it feels very accurate. Basically, even if the two forwards can't get it, it is because of the interference of the Arsenal defender.

The ball was given to Kone again. This time, he was not in a hurry. Instead of directly breaking through, he turned his back to control the ball. At the same time, Tardelli was making a quick diagonal cut. In this way, Galla followed him like a shadow. He was following Tardelli all the time.

Even children who have just started youth training know it, but it is also the most common tactic in football games, no matter how high-level the game is, it is a routine tactic.

So Gallas must follow Tardelli and not give him a chance to shoot. In fact, there is another point in this situation, that is, the person running may be just a cover to take away the defensive player.

This time it was like this. Kone didn’t pass the ball to Tardelli, but chose to pass it across to the Australian tough guy Culina in front of the penalty area. He had a good long-range shot, and a burst shot flew towards Lehmann.

This kind of double boxing is not easy to control the direction. Wenger felt a little bit in his heart, but the surprise in Tardelli's heart was similar to that of Wenger. He also didn't expect the ball to fly towards him, so he flew with his own instinct. The ball was obviously too powerful, and the ball flew away.

In this way, Wenger was relieved. He glanced at his opponent Koeman and had to say that this opponent is very powerful. He can find the flaws of his team very well and make use of them.
