Chapter 101 Leading
"Oh, it's finally started, Matthew, let me talk about your views on the game first." In the Arsenal competition, Matthew and Adams are still the ones to explain.

"Well, how to put it, you can see that Arsenal's lineup has not changed much, but in the frontcourt, Robin's position is the most questionable, his position is even more delayed, I think it is to deal with the Juventus midfielder Muscle array. Wenger may be more inclined to play on the counter."

"I think it's the same. Juventus' midfield is definitely better than Arsenal's in terms of average height and strength. It should not be easy for Cesc Fabregas to stop them. Arthur needs to strengthen the center. The defense must be like this."

"That's right, but in this game, it's a question of who will connect Capello's midfield attack. Patrick can't replace Nedved yet. He can't connect the two flank attacks, especially on the left. It is for this reason that Zambrotta was withdrawn to the left back to ensure that Mutu has enough physical strength to attack the opponent's wing and assist Ibrahimovic and Trezeguet."

"It's like this. Two tall center forwards are Capello's biggest guarantee. It depends on whether Arsenal can restrain the opponent's cross."

The rhythm of the two teams on the field is very fast. In the short 2 minutes that Matthew and Adams talked about, the two sides have had four offensive and defensive transitions.

Juventus changed their previous situation in the game based on a solid defense, and they started to attack Arsenal. Vieira would not show mercy to his little brother Fabregas, and frequently fought against Emmo. Sen's cooperation directly formed an impact in the middle.

Van Persie had to pull to the midfield many times to cooperate with Fabregas to intercept. Arsenal was in a passive position for a period of time in the opening period, and was pressed by the opponent in the half-court for siege.

In the 6th minute of the game, Van Persie took the ball in the middle and fell into Juventus's muscle formation. When he wanted to hit Li Yuxin horizontally, Emerson cut it off.

Juventus immediately launched their own fast counterattack. Camoranesi, who was left behind by Li Yuxin, rushed out immediately. After receiving a pass from Emerson in the middle, he quickly rushed to the front of Arsenal's penalty area.

"Damn it, this guy is really lucky." Li Yuxin quickly passed Silva and chased towards Camoranesi, secretly blaming himself. If he hadn't rushed too fast for the ball just now, he would not have given the opponent a chance to cut inside.

Camoranesi felt that someone was approaching behind him quickly, and he didn't dare to be careless. Seeing that he was about to reach the penalty area line, he suddenly paused, followed his foot to score, and sent the ball directly to his right.

Mutu had already switched sides and came here. He quickly received the ball and wanted to wipe it in again, but Li Yuxin had already appeared in front of him.

Mutu tried to make fake moves in front of Li Yuxin, making rapid changes, and his body's center of gravity kept shaking, trying to unbalance the center of gravity of the big man in front of him.

However, Li Yuxin wasn't fooled, his footwork was much more stable than Mutu's, and coupled with his advantage in strength, the opponent was constantly squeezed out by him.

Seeing that there was no chance, Mutu swayed his feet and did not choose to cut in. He just hit the middle and quickly sent the ball to the front of the penalty area.

"gogogoggo" "Emmerson, Emerson—"

The entire Arsenal defense line has been pressed very far back. Emerson, who followed, did not choose to stop the ball. The moment he touched the ball, a caster volleyed directly.

There was a loud "bang", "huh" and "wow" as the ball hit the first card.

Emerson clutched his head and returned to his own half. The ball was a little short just now. If it was any closer, Lehmann would have nothing to do.

"Oh my god, I feel that this guy's strength is about the same as Li's." An Arsenal fan sighed after seeing the powerful ball.

"Damn it, Juventus are rough guys who only understand strength." The one on the other side had a tone full of disdain, but his eyes were still full of surprise.

Capello saw the ball and hammered his left hand with some regret. This was an opportunity for them to start well, but unfortunately they missed the target.

Compared to Capello's sigh, Wenger seemed much calmer. When he saw the ball, he neither felt lucky that he escaped unharmed, nor was he dissatisfied with his defense, but quietly looked at the field. The situation, without any expression, did not panic.

The Arsenal players on the field were also in the same mood as Wenger. In the ensuing confrontation, the Arsenal players all appeared very stable and did not appear impatient, because in the pre-match training, Wenger emphasized on many occasions that Defensive stability.

In this game, Arsenal have to compete with Juventus for the possession of the ball. Under the training, the influence of muscle confrontation on the result of the game has begun to be magnified.

In terms of strength and physical confrontation, Juventus is unmatched even in a concrete defensive league like Serie A, especially against Arsenal.

Therefore, Wenger's tactic is to actively give up the attack for a period of time at the beginning of the game, let the opponent press up, let him attack, and then play his own speed and technical advantages in the counterattack.

Arsenal's players took Wenger's tactic seriously and put all their energy into defense at the beginning.

"Damn, why didn't you pass it?" "Patrick, break through their defense." "Hey, the pass was lost." The Juventus fans couldn't help shaking their heads, distraught.

Juventus has possession of the ball in the air, but without Nedved's scheduling in the midfield, their offense cannot play the delicate and delicate cooperation of Arsenal, nor is it so delicate. Taking the ball back and forth on the outside of Arsenal, rarely breaking through to the inside of Arsenal, the offense has not improved.

"Well done, Robin" "Yes, that's it" "Fight like a man"

Van Persie struggled with Emerson in the midfield from the beginning of the game, cooperating with Fabregas and Silva.He has done the most to block the opponent's attack in the middle.

Not only Van Persie, Li Yuxin also had a heavy task. Since Arsenal's three lines were tightly closed, there were some gaps on the sideways. Li Yuxin and Hleb also frequently retreated to the depths of the half to defend.

Compared to the middle lane, Arsenal can't let the opponent easily kick the ball on the wing. You must know that the opponent Trezeguet is an air fighter, and although Ibrahimovic's header is not outstanding, he is 1.9 meters tall after all. No one can ignore it.

Although Ibrahimovic's header is not good, his feet are no worse than anyone else; Zebina's way was blocked by Li Yuxin, and he quickly handed the ball to Ibrahimovic on the side.

Ibrahimovic skillfully controlled the ball and kept pushing it inward. Flamini didn't dare to be careless and stuck his position tightly.

Ibrahimovic shook his center of gravity, kept pulling the ball to stop the ball, and the rhythm of dribbling kept changing. He stopped and started a series of movements to connect, and then suddenly passed Flamini's side.

Just when Ibrahimovic wanted to surpass others, a figure appeared in front of him, he only felt his body paused, and his feet were empty.

Li Yuxin had noticed his breakthrough as early as when he was dribbling the ball, and snatched the ball from his feet before he entered the penalty area.

After stealing the ball, Li Yuxin didn't pause at all, and went directly behind Ibrahimovic who was unresponsive, rushed out with the ball immediately, and quickly counterattacked with the ball.

Zebina saw that Li Yuxin took away Ibrahimovic's ball, started it, screamed that it was not good, and ran back in a hurry.But Li Yuxin was like lightning, his speed was too fast, and Zebina's explosive force was too weak, so he barely pulled Li Yuxin's arm, and he couldn't keep up with him once he changed direction and swung him, and he broke through.

Just when Li Yuxin was about to rush across the midfield, suddenly a huge force rushed over from behind him. Li Yuxin was unprepared, had no time to adjust his pace, staggered, fell directly to the ground, and slid more than one meter on the grass.

The "beep beep beep" whistle sounded, and Evans gave Camoranesi a yellow card without any hesitation.

Camoranesi shrugged helplessly and shook his head aggrieved. In Serie A, such a violation would only be a warning.

Li Yuxin patted the grass clippings on his body, and also seemed a little dissatisfied. If the ball rushed over by himself, the opponent would only have two defenders and one midfielder.

"Xiao, Xiao went in" "Pass the ball" "Cesc" "There was a shot, oh, it was just a little short."

"Thierry Thierry shot low, oh shit, how did Thuram get there."

"Foul, foul, it's Zebina again, he hooked Robin from behind again, he should be sent off."

"gogogogogogo Puff's breakthrough is unstoppable"

"Xiao, Xiao followed up and knocked on the door." "Oh my God, Xiao's heavy bombing was caught by Buffon. How is this possible?"

Senke's regretful but passionate commentary made Capello unable to sit still. After Li Yuxin was knocked down by Camoranesi, Arsenal's offense suddenly became stronger and quickly continued to attack Juventus' sideways.

On the left, Zambrotta can still play against Hleb and is not at a disadvantage, but not on the right. Whether it is Zebina or Camoranesi, there are not many ways to break through Li Yuxin and Van Persie.

Van Persie made a fuss on his left whenever he got a chance, while Fabregas continued to use the gap formed by his teammates to advance forward. Li Yuxin completely suppressed Zebina on the left, forcing him not to step forward to assist.

At this time, the link between Juventus in the midfield and the frontcourt has been cut off by Arsenal. Arsenal's backcourt is no weaker than Juventus's. Van Persie even fought Mutu from the frontcourt near the bottom line.

"Robin" "Robin" opened more than 30 minutes, Van Persie became the player who appeared in the most shots in the entire stadium, and Highbury cheered for him from time to time.

The breakthrough advantage of Li Yuxin and Hleb also prevented Juventus from playing on the two sides. On offense, Trezeguet and Ibrahimovic had to run to the side to catch the ball. Juventus's aggressive attack advantage in the opening 10 minutes disappeared suddenly.

Arsenal's exquisite and gorgeous cooperation continued to appear, while Juventus used their bodies to continuously destroy the ball, but they couldn't keep up with Li Yuxin and Hleb in terms of speed, and were frequently played by Arsenal's wide players.

In the 304th minute of the game, Li Yuxin was on the left, first dunking Camoranesi, and cutting the ball along the left rib of Juventus.

Zebina didn't dare to be careless. Following Li Yuxin's advance, he quickly withdrew to Li Yuxin's inside line, and Vieira and Thuram also quickly moved towards Li Yuxin's side, ready to double-team at any time.

Li Yuxin noticed the changes in Juventus' defense, and suddenly blocked the ball, split the ball, and followed Flamini directly, passing Camoranesi.

And Van Persie has already responded to the left, Flamini crossed, and quickly sent the ball to his feet.

Zebina got the ball from behind by Van Persie and hurriedly turned around to block it.

Van Persie didn't stop the ball at all, turned around and delivered it, and quickly sent the ball to the middle outside the penalty area before Zebina arrived.

When Zebina was moving, Li Yuxin had already completed his position, the two of them changed their positions in harmony, and Van Persie also delivered the ball.

Arsenal's fast offense and defense immediately disrupted Juventus' position. Thuram was shocked when he saw Li Yuxin catch the ball in an arc in the penalty area. His tall body like a black iron tower quickly came towards Li Yuxin.

When Thuram approached Li Yuxin, he didn't have any intention of closing in. He just carried Li Yuxin out at once, squeezed his body, and quickly broke his big foot towards the ball.

Before Li Yuxin could move, he was squeezed away by the other party forcefully, and his chest was aching. Only Makelele and Gerrard could make Li Yuxin suffer like this.

Although Li Yuxin's body was bumped, the rate of his feet remained the same. He pulled and retreated, protecting the ball and planning to reorganize.

But Thuram would not allow him to take the ball and leave. He squeezed his body, and his right leg caught up with Li Yuxin's ankle, and his knee slammed against Li Yuxin's back.

Li Yuxin's center of gravity was unstable after being hit, and he staggered, trying to stabilize his center of gravity, but Thuram's small movements on his ankles also prevented this, he stumbled and his body slid away.

"Damn it..." Li Yuxin felt that his support was unstable, and secretly yelled and cursed, with a flash of thought.

Thuram repeated the old trick again, bumping his knees and hooking people with his feet. Li Yuxin didn't support his body any more, and fell to the ground directly.

"Beep" At this moment the whistle finally sounded, Thuram pushed behind three times, stumbled under his feet, but was still discovered by Evans.

"How could this be a foul" "There is nothing wrong with this action" "He lost his center of gravity" "It's just a normal defense"

When Thuram saw Li Yuxin fell to the ground, he cut off the ball immediately and planned to attack, but Evans' whistle made him extremely astonished, and he kept explaining around Evans.

The Juventus players also followed, because the ball was so deadly, it was near the penalty area line, less than 18 meters away from the goal.

In this position, whether it is Henry or Li Yuxin, they are enough to directly penetrate Buffon's ten fingers.

"Hoohoo, it's great, it's great" "I'm a little nervous, I must go in" "Finally I'm going to open the pot" "Damn it, I'm so nervous, who will take the penalty?" "Thierry, or Xiao?"

As Li Yuxin and Henry appeared in front of the ball, all Arsenal fans' eyes fell on these two people. They stood up, not daring to breathe too much, and looked at them closely.

The wall was quickly lined up. Henry put his hands on his waist and was still standing beside the ball, looking leisurely, while Li Yuxin kept backing away. It seemed that Henry was going to play for Li Yuxin, and Li Yuxin directly hit the goal.

"Di" Evans whistled, and Li Yuxin rushed towards the ball like a tiger.

When everyone's eyes fell on Li Yuxin, Henry also deflected an arc at the moment the whistle sounded. The ball quickly bypassed the unresponsive Juventus wall and fell towards the goal. Henry's signature fast free kick.

However, Li Yuxin's running and slamming the door are just illusions, and Henry is the protagonist this time.

After the ball passed through the wall, when it was close to the goal, there was a spin, and it quickly flew to the right side of the goal. Although Buffon was a little distracted, he judged the path of the ball correctly, quickly moved sideways, jumped up with all his strength, stretched his body, and rushed towards the dripping ball.

But the ball was too fast, Buffon's judgment was a bit slow before this, the ball still avoided Buffon's ten fingers first, and quickly got into the gate, 1 to 0, Arsenal lead!
