Chapter 257 King of Highbury, Henry!

After scoring the goal, Yunfei immediately rushed to the stands where the away fans were, opened his arms, and accepted the cheers from the fans.

Behind him, Southampton's teammates also rushed up and hugged him.

Many teammates even screamed loudly like the fans, releasing their emotions. It was really cool to be able to face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium and score the first goal!This goal also made the players relax a lot.

Redknapp, who was nervously watching the game on the sidelines, raised his arms and shouted, then turned around and hugged his assistant, celebrating the goal.

"For both teams, the tactical goals were clearly visible at the start of the game!"

"Arsenal hopes to use their gorgeous attack line to defeat the opponent's defense line as soon as possible, while Southampton hopes to play steadily and gain a foothold in defense, while looking for loopholes in Arsenal's defense line and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack."

"After some testing, the two sides found that Southampton's defense is not that bad. On the contrary, Arsenal's two wings seem to be undefended. It is obviously very dangerous to let the opponent's two wingers break through continuously."

"Sure enough, just ten minutes into the game, Southampton took advantage of the gap on the opponent's wing, found an opportunity, and scored the first goal!"

"The current situation is very unfavorable for Arsenal. Southampton's defense line may not be able to withstand the continuous impact of Arsenal throughout the game, but Arsenal's own defense line may not be as good as Southampton's. The full-backs played by two young players can't stop the opponent's impact. At least they can't keep up with the speed at all, especially Julu. His speed is too slow!"

At this time, the live TV camera keenly found Professor Wenger on the sidelines. At this time, Professor Wenger was standing on the sidelines, his face was livid, and his brows were tightly frowned. He was obviously very worried about what happened on the field.

Of course, Wenger also saw what the commentator said. He originally thought that the team's offense could suppress the opponent's wing attack, but it seems that he is still too optimistic.
Now Arsenal's two wings are like undefended fast lanes, allowing opponents to come and go, which is too tricky. Wenger also has to admit that he has no good way now, and there are no reliable full-backs on the bench, otherwise he would not let the two young players play.

Thinking of this, Professor Wenger thought of Ashley Cole who Xia Chuang left. His insistence on leaving really hurt the team too much. It is not so easy to cultivate a qualified successor.

Now the problem is placed in front of Professor Wenger, and it depends on how he solves it.

After thinking for a while, Coach Wenger shook his head helplessly and let out a long sigh.At this time, the assistant coach suddenly came up and whispered something in Wenger's ear.

After Southampton takes the lead, the game is undoubtedly more advantageous for Southampton. They can continue to retreat and defend with peace of mind and counterattack their opponents.Coupled with the opponent's weak wing, it is even easier to counterattack.

Yunfei frequently passed the ball in the midfield, creating murderous intentions. In this case, Bell and Jones played even more vigorously on the wing. Unfortunately, Arsenal had to retreat a little due to the threat posed by Southampton's counterattack.

The clock was ticking and as Southampton was about to enter the break with a one-goal lead, Arsenal suddenly bared their fangs.

A Southampton counter-attack failed and Cesc Fabregas got the ball in midfield.Due to the gradual recovery of Arsenal later, Southampton's overall front was unknowingly pressed up, which gave Fabregas a chance to pass the ball.

Immediately afterwards, a precise diagonal long pass was passed steadily to Henry's feet on the left. At this time, Henry's speed exploded completely, three steps in parallel, and rushed into the penalty area quickly!

Lundekwam tried his best to catch up with the opponent, but he was about to reach out and try to pull Henry, but the opponent had already entered the penalty area at this time. In the end, Lundekwam hesitated and put down his hand.

At this time, Henry, who was completely undisturbed, faced Davis one-on-one and easily volleyed from the far corner to help Arsenal equalize the score!

One to one!

At the last moment of the first half, Arsenal finally equalized the score. The goal was the former King of Highbury, Thierry Henry!

"goal!!!"

"The ball is in!"

"Towards the end of the first half, Arsenal played a wonderful combination, Cesc Fabregas passed the ball beautifully, Henry's handling was perfect, they saved the team!"

"Coach Wenger should be able to breathe a sigh of relief and equalize the score now. For Arsenal, this game can still be saved. But for Southampton, they are inevitably a little disappointed. After all, they were able to take the lead into the second half. This is not a small blow for them!"

Shortly after Henry's goal, the referee blew his whistle to end the first half.When walking back to the dressing room, the Southampton players looked a bit lost, contrary to the relief of the Arsenal players.

This is not difficult to understand. It was supposed to be able to enter the second half with a one-goal lead, but was scored by the opponent. Whoever replaces it will inevitably feel a little disappointed.

"As expected of Henry, the shot just now was really wonderful!"

"It's been said that Henry's state is not very good recently, but I think Henry's state is still there, otherwise he wouldn't be able to kick such a beautiful shot!"

"Just now Cesc Fabregas's pass was also very good. He found Henry very accurately. After all, his name didn't come from the wind!"

As soon as he walked into the locker room, Yunfei heard the discussion of his teammates.

Ever since Henry began to be stalked by transfer rumors, doubts about his status have never stopped. After the start of this season, even with the goal just now, Henry only scored three goals in the league. Such efficiency is naturally unsatisfactory. Many people are questioning Henry's professionalism and suspect that he is no longer willing to play for Arsenal.However, in this game, judging from Henry's performance, he still hopes to prove himself, otherwise he would not be so active.
