Jagged Wings

Chapter 91 Is this the lifeblood of Arsenal?
In the next game, Vieira's performance was very active.With Nedved gone, Vieira frequently appeared in front of the penalty area, either shooting or passing, which caused a lot of trouble for Arsenal.

This time, the fans booed him.

Can't do this anymore!

A few minutes later, when Vieira was about to break through with the ball in the frontcourt, Xiaofa ran over from the side and knocked him over with one kick.After Vieira fell, he exaggeratedly covered his calf and rolled twice, with a painful look on his face.

Highbury fans booing louder!
The warmth of the old captain before the game seems to no longer exist now!

With a vicious tackle, Xiaofa declared his position in Arsenal!
But Vieira did not give in. He wanted to prove that even if he left Arsenal, it was not because Arsenal had someone who surpassed him.

Another attack from Juventus was passed to Vieira. Vieira looked up and directly passed the ball 50 meters long to Ibrahimovic.

But Gilberto defended very well and followed Ibrahimovic all the time, not giving him a chance to break through and shoot.

Ibrahimovic had to control the ball and wait for the support of his teammates. In the end, Camoranesi hit the plane with Ibrahimovic's pass.

If the team grasps the pass that they don't know about themselves, then Vieira will do it himself!
Vieira has the ball in midfield and Gilberto comes up to defend him.

The two gold medal midfielder partners in Arsenal's heyday also came to the battlefield to meet one day.

Of course, the condition of the two older people is not as good as before, and such an encounter is even more regrettable.

But the two don't think so!
Vieira's eyes were determined, he pretended to break through to the left but knocked the ball to the right.

Gilberto also worked very hard, but misjudged the direction of Vieira's breakthrough and was passed!

This is obvious. Gilberto has seen Vieira defend a lot, but he has little experience in facing his offense.

Vieira, who broke through Gilberto, was looking up to observe his teammates' running positions, and Hleb rushed up from behind and made a fierce tackle.

Vieira had seen it a long time ago, so he could only jump up, and Xiaofa got the ball!
Emerson came up to harass, preventing Hleb from comfortably holding the ball to observe the situation.But there is no need, Hleb had already seen the team's running position clearly before he fell to the ground.

Hleb passed the ball diagonally to Reyes on the left, and Reyes suddenly sent a through pass after cutting forward from the left.

Henry ran out of the penalty area, and Cannavaro followed him. Xiaofa completed the switch with Henry and appeared in the penalty area.

"It's time to shoot!"

Xiaofa volleyed with his right foot 16 yards in front of the goal. The football passed under Thuram's crotch and got into the lower left corner of the goal.

Buffon's line of sight was blocked and he could only watch the football hit the net.

1:0
Xiaofa, who scored the goal, ran frantically along the sideline. He wanted to prove himself too much in this game!
Most of the season has passed, and everyone is missing the person who left.Whenever Arsenal's performance is not good, someone will mention: "It would be great if Vieira was still there."

Would it be nice if Vieira was still around? !
In Xiaofa's view, this is an obliteration of his sense of existence.I'm already the starter at this position, do you still miss the person who left, as if I didn't exist?

Xiaofa is very unfair!
Xiaofa wanted to prove it!
And this goal is his words and his attitude. He wants everyone to see that the current Arsenal midfielder is in his own world.

Xiaofa finally ran under the North Stand, the most loyal Arsenal. He clenched his fists with both hands and roared ferociously.

Vieira is already a past name!

Now, it's just me!Cesc Fabregas!

His teammates also ran over to celebrate the goal.

Juventus's absence lasted for a few minutes, and his mental calm was restored.

They are the overlords of Serie A. They have won countless victories. Although this game is very important, their mentality is still stable.

Capello sat on the sidelines, watching the situation on the field expressionlessly, but at this time his heart was not at peace.

He knows Arsenal are better at attacking than defending, and they will definitely attack at home.

So the initial strategy he formulated for the team was to counterattack in the first half and prevent Arsenal from scoring; counterattack in the second half and strive for one or two away goals.

This goal of Xiaofa broke the deadlock, and Juventus fell into a passive position.

At this time Arsenal is in an absolute advantage, Juventus attack, they can counterattack; Juventus defend, they are happy to keep the ball and maintain the current situation.

Preventing Juventus from scoring away goals is their primary goal.

In the 30 minutes of the first half, Arsenal's offensive became more and more fierce. So far, except for the last round of the Champions League with Ajax, a substitute team was sent to play 0-0.Arsenal have scored in all of their home games.

Capello found that if his team defended, it was a bit unbearable.

He walked to the sidelines, hesitant to let his team attack.This was originally an arrangement for the second half, but now he wants to mention the first half.

Capello crossed his chest and looked at the field. After the goal, Xiaofa was a little too excited. Maybe it was because he was eager to win, or it might be stimulated by the recent media hype. Xiaofa seemed a little impatient in the later stages of the game , Passing the ball is always too fast, and the running position is not in place.

After an offensive opportunity was wasted by a shot by Xiaofa, Capello turned and returned to the coach's bench.

He canceled the idea of ​​​​changing tactics in advance.

In this way, the first half ended in a stalemate between the two sides, and the two sides entered the locker room with a score of 1:0.

The Juventus players felt that this was a life-saving intermission, but the Arsenal players still had more to say, lamenting that the intermission came too early.

So they walked out of the locker room before the 15-minute intermission and waited for the second half to continue attacking the opponent.

Juventus stayed for 15 minutes before slowly walking up under the urging of the referee.

"As expected of an 'old lady', slow enough," Reyes grumbled.

"I'm afraid they won't come!" Xiaofa was gearing up, ready to fight.Wenger knocked him at halftime to stop him from getting too excited, so Xiaofa calmed down a bit in the second half.

The second half had just begun, but Juventus, who came up later, launched an attack first.

Emerson passed the ball to Ibrahimovic, and Ibrahimovic gave the ball to Camoranesi, who was inserted from the wing. Camoranesi reversed the slow rhythm of "one stop, two watch and three passes" in the first half , soaring rapidly on the sidewalk.

Right back Flamini couldn't react in time and was passed.Camoranesi, who finished the bottom, made a direct pass from the side. Del Piero jumped high in the penalty area to grab the point, but Senderos stayed at every step, interfering with him kicking the ball out of the bottom line.

"At the beginning of the second half, Juventus launched a wave of fast breaks. This is the opposite of Juventus, which likes to slow down the rhythm. I wonder if this is Capello's intentional arrangement?" The commentator was a little puzzled. .

The scene shot also gave Capello a close-up.

Capello is still expressionless, it is really difficult to see everything from his face.

In fact, Juventus means young people in Latin, but in the actual game, its style lacks passion and is mainly composed. For a period of time, Juventus even represented the "one-to-zero doctrine".In Serie A, Juventus has won many championships and gives people a sense of stability. They always play football in a calm manner, even if they are behind. They have rich experience, so they are called "old women".

Juventus once used his relatively slow pace to drag many opponents who were accustomed to rushing and fighting quickly-in the stalemate, the old woman used softness to overcome rigidity, like Tai Chi pushing hands, waiting for the fatal blow.

Therefore, in the second half of the game against Arsenal, who were on the offensive, Juventus unexpectedly chose to play fast, which made Arsenal a little uncomfortable.

Juventus wants Arsenal to understand that they are also a giant, and they can play fast football.

This sudden change in rhythm and style of play made Arsenal very uncomfortable, which did not match their pre-match arrangements.

For a while, Ibrahimovic and Del Piero got several good opportunities. If Senderos hadn't played like a god in this game, Arsenal's gate had already fallen.

Fabio Capello has obviously spied on Arsenal's fate long ago.

Yes, it is the defense!
