Jagged Wings

Chapter 63 Reyes and Hleb (1)

"Duff!"

The Chelsea fans of the visiting team who were sitting in their seats have stood up from their seats one after another, ready to cheer for the goal.

But Lehman reacted quickly and directly blocked Duff's shot with his hand...

"What a pity! This was originally an excellent opportunity for Chelsea to attack." Lineker said with some regret.

The tempo of the two sides played very fast, which was also the result of the deliberate efforts of both sides. Chelsea's original style of play was fast and decisive, with a fatal blow.As for Arsenal, Wenger knew that Mourinho was good at arranging troops according to the opponent's characteristics, so he chose the tactic of playing fast and fast by surprise.

Although Arsenal is famous for its beautiful football and offensive football, Arsenal, which has speed players such as Henry, Reyes, and Hleb, also has the capital to play fast breaks.

Therefore, the offensive and defensive transitions of both sides are very rapid.

Here, Duff is still holding his head and regretting that his shot didn't go away. Over there, Lehmann has already thrown the ball to Jenas, and Jenas passed it to Xiaofa.

When Essien saw that Duff missed the shot, he turned and ran back. He still had to defend Reyes.

Now when Xiaofa wanted to pass the football to Reyes, he found that Reyes was following Essien not far away, so he changed his mind.

The opponent's Ghanaian's defensive ability, he found that Reyes had a lot of ways to him before, and giving the football to Reyes did not help the team's offense.

So he stopped the football and looked around.

At this time, Xiaofa caught a glimpse of a red figure plugging in from the corner of his eyes, it was Cole!

Just now, Cole felt very displeased when Duff made him lose his temper: How can I say that I am also a national player, how embarrassing it is to be over by you?
He wants to get back on the field.

Xiaofa saw Cole coming up and passed the football to him.

Cole passed Duff with one quick acceleration, and ran straight towards Essien.

Reyes is ready to move around Essien. , Essien did not defend Cole, but continued to follow Reyes.

Cole was a little surprised, but he quickly understood that no matter what happens in this game, the Ghanaian from Chelsea will follow Reyes closely, which is probably the arrangement of the head coach.

Since Essien didn't defend himself, Cole was naturally not polite, and rushed past the two with the ball.

Gallas came up to defend Cole, and Reyes ran to the side and got behind Cole.But Cole didn't pass because Reyes was still with Essien.

Cole saw Xiaofa responding to him in the middle and quickly passed the ball.

Xiaofa didn't stop the ball, but turned his ankle directly, and stuffed the ball from Cole straight into the penalty area!

“Beautiful straight plug!”

Because Gallas is defending Cole and Essien is defending Reyes, both of them are on the wing, there are only two central defenders in the penalty area, and there is even more emptiness on their right rib side, Bergkamp crosses When he ran there, before Carvalho could keep up, Fafa's football was passed.

Bergkamp, ​​who received the ball, made a light shot, but the football hit the side netting...

Although the goal was missed, this series of attacks made the Gunners fans in the stands very hooked.

And not just the fans at the scene, those in front of the TV saw a game that was different from the normal Premier League.In the past, the physical confrontation in the Premier League was very intense, but the technicality was not high. However, this game has reached a high level in terms of technology and speed.

The game attracted live broadcasts from more than 100 countries and regions. There were more than 250 reporters and photographers in the broadcast booth. The broadcast booth at Highbury Stadium was filled with people of all skin colors, including whites and yellows. , Black people... The commentators from all over the world rushed to use their languages ​​to introduce the players of both sides.

Just two minutes after Bergkamp shot wide, Chelsea launched another threatening attack, this time the ball was passed to Arjen Robben.Arjen Robben dribbled forward, Arsenal's defense did not shrink into the penalty area, but attempted to cause offside.

At this time, Essien also rushed to attack, and Reyes was free. He looked around and ran to the middle.

Robben's speed was very fast, and Arsenal's offside tactics failed.

"Onside! Beautiful!"

Drogba receives the ball and drives into the box.Goalkeeper Lehmann decisively abandoned the goal and took the racket away before Drogba. Drogba was too aggressive and fell directly on Lehman.

The football fell to the feet of Senderos who was chasing back.

Chelsea fans at Highbury erupted in loud chants: "Penalty!"

"That's a penalty, look with your eyes!" Mourinho also ran up to the fourth official at a brisk pace, pointing his two fingers at his eyes and appealing loudly. The fans in the stadium watched the deafening shouts and the middle fingers raised like trees.

The players on the field were still in the game, and Senderos, who was holding the ball, did not hear the referee's whistle, so he passed the ball to Xiaofa.

Xiaofa had been optimistic about the position of his teammates before catching the ball, and directly made a long pass after catching the ball.

"The referee did not award a penalty... This is a counterattack by Arsenal!"

Xiaofa's long pass was like a cruise missile, flying all the way to the frontcourt. Bergkamp came up to fight for the header, but Terry headed the ball away first.

Just as the Chelsea fans breathed a sigh of relief, Reyes, who ran to the middle and wandered, appeared in front of the football.

He got the ball!
Because Chelsea has just launched an attack, the defense is empty, and now only Carvalho and goalkeeper Petr Cech, who are marking Henry, are in the penalty area, and Hleb on the other side is plugging in at high speed.

In the past half a season, the two have cooperated in the competition, but more often they have disrupted each other.There is a statistic that proves that according to OPTA’s statistics, the two have combined for 22 assists and 57 threatening passes so far this season. However, in these statistics, their assists and threatening passes are all An embarrassing 0.
Those who got this data couldn't believe their eyes. At least from the scene, there was some cooperation between the two, and they were both important pieces in Arsenal's attack.It is unbelievable that they have never created a threatening offense for each other.

Let's say there is a conflict, but the two have no cooperation on the court, no intersection off the court, and there is no chance for a conflict to erupt, so everyone including Wenger is speculating about the relationship between the two of them.

The only person who knew was probably the manager of the hotel in Spain.

Arsenal's counterattack continued on the field. At this time, Reyes' position was still far from the penalty area. If he wanted to dribble the ball, he would be overtaken by the opponent's defensive player; if he wanted to shoot, it would basically be a waste of opportunity.

But when it comes to passing the ball, the two forwards are all watched. Is it necessary to pass it to the enemy Hleb?
enemy?

Reyes was taken aback by the words that popped out of his mind, Hleb and I have become enemies?

To be honest, both of them knew that the scene that happened in that hotel that summer was a misunderstanding.But it's one thing to know, and it's not so easy to untie the knot when we really face each other.

You know, Reyes was the chief culprit for Hleb's abandonment of Barcelona and joining Arsenal, which affected a person's career, which is an endless event.

At such a time, but found that Reyes is in his new team, what kind of mood is that?
Hleb never believed in God again.

Of course, football is not a game, so it is not child's play.Now that Hleb has joined Arsenal, of course he has no plans to see Reyes will transfer and leave.After all, he is an adult, and he should be responsible for what he does.

So Hleb chose to adapt.

Although Britain and Germany are only separated by the English Channel, the weather culture in the UK is quite different from that in Germany.There is an "enemy" in the team, and it is necessary to behave worthy of the head coach's vision, worthy of the applause of the fans, and worthy of the transfer fee of more than 1000 million. Hleb's life for the past half of the season is quite hard.

Hleb is a somewhat introverted person, but he has worked very hard this half of the season: trying to adapt to the team, trying to adapt to the fans, trying to learn English, trying not to fight with Reyes...

Reyes saw all these, and he suddenly felt that Hleb was a bit pitiful.

So he passed the ball.
