Chapter 256 Yunfei opened the scoring first on the weak wing!

"After the opening, Southampton, who had been at a disadvantage in the situation, finally found an opportunity and cooperated very smoothly in the counterattack. Unfortunately, Jones' shot was not up to standard in the end, and it could not threaten the goal guarded by Lehmann."

"But this counterattack also sounded the alarm for Coach Wenger. Arsenal's two full-backs could not keep up with Southampton's speed. If there is such a counterattack, Arsenal may not be so lucky."

Just as the commentator was talking about the counterattack that had just ended, Southampton made a comeback again.

In the frontcourt, Jones grabbed the ball at the feet of Hoyt, who was a little too big, on the wing, and then sent the ball directly to the feet of center Fuller.Fuller leans his back against the opponent, serves as a fulcrum, and then sends the ball forward.

At this time, Yunfei, who followed up, volleyed towards the ball!
The quality of this football is extremely high, and the ball flew straight to the dead corner!

It's a pity that this time the German goalkeeper Lehmann's attention was very concentrated, and he made a flying save, and the ball was blocked from the bottom line.

After making this wonderful save, the German goalkeeper quickly ran up from the ground, roaring loudly at his teammates, how could the opponent shoot so easily in such a dangerous place!

Hoyt made a mistake and lowered his head, not daring to look at other people. This mistake was really fatal!

Yunfei, who finished an excellent shot, shook his head regretfully. If the team can take the lead, then the game will be much easier!
With Yunfei's wonderful performance, he continued to create threats on the offensive end. After the opening, Arsenal's continuous offensive stagnated. Fearing Southampton's terrible counterattack, Arsenal did not dare to press so high.

Arsenal head coach Professor Arsene Wenger frowned. The team's aggressive attack was his goal. Only by relying on a stormy attack could the opponent be suppressed.Faced with an opponent who is so good at counterattacks, Arsenal now has no confidence that they can defend their opponents only by relying on the ability of the defense. Once Southampton counterattacks, Arsenal will have to reduce their investment in the offensive stage.

Professor Wenger naturally anticipated the current scene, but he did not expect that after a while in the first half, Southampton broke free from the huge offensive pressure given by Arsenal and continuously found opportunities to counterattack. This was something he did not expect and did not want to see.

Professor Wenger is now caught in a dilemma. It is meaningless for the team to retreat. They are all focused on defending. Even if you retreat, no one cares about you, but if you attack, your opponent will continue to fight back.

After thinking about it again and again, coach Wenger still signaled the team to continue pressing.

At this time, the team needs a goal. If it fails to get this goal, the team's tactics after the opening will be a complete failure!

Arsenal's players were determined to implement the manager's ideas, and the team pressed forward again, with Gilberto Silva dribbling in midfield.

Although this is a defensive midfielder, he is still a Brazilian after all. His skills, dribbling and passing are all above average. If he really moves forward with the ball, you really can't leave him alone. This task naturally falls on Yunfei's head.

However, Gilberto Silva is not a stickler for the ball. Seeing Yunfei coming up, he simply passed the ball out.

Rosicky received a pass from his teammate, made a light feint and changed direction, swayed Suleman's follow-up defense, and then advanced towards the middle.

Suleman, who was passed by, did not dare to neglect, and followed Rosicky closely behind him, constantly using various small movements to prevent the opponent from dribbling, until he reached the edge of the penalty area.
Henry had been waiting for his teammate to pass the ball a long time ago. When he saw Rosicky pass the ball, his eyes lit up. He took a few steps forward with his long legs, and then made a backward jumping motion, using the strength of his waist and abdomen in the air to swing his head and attack the goal!

It should be said that this series of actions was extremely perfect, but unfortunately the angle of the header at the end was too straight, and was held firmly in the arms of the goalkeeper.

The next moment, Davis didn't pause, and drove the ball directly to the frontcourt!

Southampton's chance to fight back!
Fuller retreated to the arc of the middle circle, stopped the ball, and then sent the ball to the left for a point!
Bell dribbled the ball to speed up and passed Julu who was trying to stop him, and then dribbled the ball quickly to the penalty area!

At this critical juncture, Gallas rushed out of the penalty area and directly knocked Bell to the ground!His purpose is very clear, which is to prevent Bell from continuing to dribble so close to the penalty area and creating threats.Of course, for this purpose, he paid the price of a yellow card.

Yunfei came to handle the free kick and chose to drop the ball directly into the penalty area.

The ball was not cleared out of the penalty area immediately, which caused chaos in the penalty area. Arsenal players tried to kick the ball out of the penalty area at this time, while Southampton players were staring at the ball, trying to take advantage of the chaos.

At the critical moment, it was Gallas again, who saw the opportunity and cleared the ball out of the penalty area.

Hughes got the ball from outside the penalty area. Southampton's offense was not over yet. This time, Hughes gave the ball to the front of the penalty area. Yunfei got the ball. Before the defensive players came up to defend, he lightly sent the ball to the side. Bell made a cross without anyone guarding him!

Fuller and Gallas got entangled again in the middle, and neither of them was able to take off successfully, so the ball fell to the back point, Hoyt stopped the ball, just about to clear the siege, Jones rushed up behind him, stabbed the ball with his left foot, and then swept the ball to the center of the penalty area with his right foot!
At this time, when Arsenal's defensive players looked at the direction of the ball, there was a touch of despair in their eyes, because they saw a familiar figure.

He's wearing the No. [-] jersey!

Yunfei!

Yunfei actually didn't expect that Jones would be able to snatch the ball back. He just stood in this very dangerous place habitually, and he didn't expect the ball to actually reach his feet.

So, the next moment, everything will be logical!

"The goal is scored! Yunfei! An extremely easy push in the penalty area helped Southampton open the scoring! Arsenal fell behind at home!"

"Arsenal aggressively attacked after the opening, but there were too many problems in their defense, especially the two wings, which were completely unable to limit the performance of Southampton's two wingers. This time, it was Hoyt's mistake again. Jones was able to complete the steal and pass in such a small space!"

"I think Coach Wenger must think carefully about the team's tactics. It will be a matter of time before the defense loses the ball again!"
