I brush achievements in football

"Hope? No, they will not have hope. If the problem in the midfield is not resolved, they will not be able to pose any threat to us... The second half will continue to attack according to the rhythm of the first half, understand? Their defense line is weak. Half of them are rookies, and their midfielders are all rookies. Their technical characteristics and cooperation are quite incompatible. They are not qualified to attack." Ji Ya said in the locker room.

The Southampton players nodded one after another. In the first half of the game, their advantage was actually very large, which also made them full of confidence.

In the locker room of the home team, Wenger praised the players for their efforts in unfavorable conditions, and then asked the players to attack more from the wing in the second half, and run more actively in the middle to counter Southampton's midfield advantage.

In terms of substitutions, Wenger really doesn't have anyone to substitute, but Flynn Pang can't play. He has a yellow card. He doesn't know when it will be a bomb. In the process of blocking the opponent's counterattack, the midfielder is often the first line of defense. It is inevitable to use fouls to block the opponent's attack. How dare you get a yellow card?

So Wenger replaced Frympong with the French midfielder Coquelin...

But Coquelin is also a rookie - although he joined Arsenal in the 08-09 season, he didn't play a game in two seasons. Last season, Lorient, who was loaned to Ligue [-], only played a game. Now he is back. , is also the first time to play the game.

If it weren't for the fact that no one would use it, Wenger wouldn't have used such a rookie to play...

Thinking about it carefully, Wenger was really aggrieved.

A top-level team is dignified, and no one is available now, how can they live in this day.

But it's good to endure it, after all, some players are suspended, not injured.

If Diaby is here, Alexander Song is here, why is Arsenal's midfielder here!

Wenger couldn't help thinking about it in his heart.

Then he looked at Chamberlain and Benayoun sitting in the corner.

These are also two excellent wingers. Arshavin and Walcott's performance in the first half was not particularly outstanding, but it was okay. Do you want to increase vitality in the second half?

After thinking about it, Wenger still gave up. He was not used to making substitutions so early, and Walcott and Arshavin performed well. Wasn't the goal scored by these two people?

Seeing Wenger's eyes sweeping over him, Chamberlain lowered his head helplessly. It has been more than a month since he came to Arsenal, and he still hasn't been able to become the main force. He originally planned to show it in front of his old club. Now Looks like there's something else going on...

Seeing Southampton's two wingers perform so well in the first half, he was even more depressed.

Originally, such a position should belong to him.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.

Chamberlain can't say that he regretted it much, but the huge gap in reality made him a little frustrated.

The second half of the game has begun.

Southampton and Arsenal are still in constant confrontation in the midfield - Arsenal want to attack through the wing, but Arteta is entangled by Matuidi, he can't get the ball, can't distribute the ball , There is no good ball distribution on the wing, and it is still difficult to launch an offense.

Fortunately, they have a good center forward, he doesn't need a very good cross, he can always create opportunities.

Wearing the captain's armband, Van Persie kept running on the field. He is a very special center forward. He is not very good at anything else. What he is good at is scoring.

After receiving the pass, he quickly swings his calf and shoots hard.

Wundt and Jenkinson are both very headaches, and they don't have a good way to deal with such a center forward.

Fortunately, there are not many opportunities for Van Persie to receive such a cross and shoot directly, so he still can withstand it.

"We can't expect our defense to have problems all the time..."

Ji Ya thought silently in his heart, and then made a forward gesture to the field.

Press on and continue to attack!

Southampton's offensive suddenly flourished.

Mkhitaryan once again broke through with the ball in the middle. After attracting enough attention, he decisively distributed the ball. Blind, who rarely inserted an assist, received the ball. He did not continue to dribble forward, but While running, he swung his left foot and made a long pass forward!

It's a forward curveball.

The ball flew across the midfield, and then bypassed Mertesacker, who was struggling to intercept but failed to touch the ball, and landed accurately in front of Giroud who was going forward!

A direct long pass from the backcourt hits behind!

Such a sharp long pass directly pierced Arsenal's entire defense line. After receiving the ball, Giroud quickly entered the penalty area. Facing the attacking Szczesny, he immediately took a shot. !

The ball flew into Arsenal's gate again!

Giroud scored twice!

He was excitedly running around the court. His scoring ability had been a little lacking before, but recently, because of the pressure and learning from Klose, his ability to seize opportunities has been continuously enhanced.

To put it bluntly, isn't scoring a goal just to be calm when shooting?

And his traits could have saved him from needing to be a center forward who brought in a lot of goals.

As long as you score goals from time to time, it will be useful.

After taking a three-to-one lead, Arsenal played more easily on the court. Considering that Giroud's physical fitness has also dropped significantly during such a run, Kiya replaced Giroud with Austin. Austin is also 1.8 meters tall. Ba's high center forward, so although he can be regarded as the last substitute on the front line, his characteristics can also get a lot of opportunities to play.

Arsenal, who had no other choice, launched a fierce attack, but their offense was still constantly disturbed by Southampton. After the baptism of playing against Barcelona, ​​the pressure of Arsenal could no longer make Southampton players feel how much It's exhausting.

This is the importance of playing against high-level players and teams. Of course, it is not that the gap in strength is too large, but that there is a certain gap that can be smoothed out through hard work and tactics. After such a test, the performance of the entire team may not be suddenly Become a lot better, but can have better endurance.

Wenger also frequently dispatched troops in the following time. He sent Chamberlain and Benayoun to the field successively, replacing Walcott and Arshavin, but still failed to open up the situation.

Ji Ya also dispatched Kovacs and Drinkwater successively, and successfully maintained the lead until the end!

Van Persie once volleyed a heavy hit on the crossbar, and that was the closest Arsenal came to scoring in the second half.

Unfortunately, something is still missing.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Kiya stood up with open arms.

Three to one, Southampton won the first Premier League victory of the season!
