Chapter 30

Leeds United took the initiative to give up possession of the ball, and their focus is still hoping to destroy Arsenal's threatening ball.

Sometimes possession of the ball needs to be fought for. For some teams that focus on pass control, possession of the ball is equivalent to their offensive opportunity. Only by mastering the possession of the ball can they truly control the game.

But in this game, Leeds United, which is wearing the skin of total defense and is actually the core of defensive counterattack, does not have a strong desire for ball possession.

Passing and controlling has high requirements on the ability of players, and there are also restrictions on the success rate of passing and cooperating between players. It cannot be achieved overnight.

What they want is actually an opportunity, an opportunity to pass the ball, and this opportunity requires not only the cooperation of frontcourt players and backcourt players, but also an omission in Arsenal's defense!

Just when Leeds United was looking for an opportunity like in the first half, a murderous intention suddenly appeared on the pitch!

The ball was passed to the feet of Ramsey who had just played in the first half. He controlled the ball with his feet, and Leeds United defender Bruce, who was in charge of defending him, stared at the ball under his feet.

It's not uncommon to see Arsenal playing like this before, and it seems to be a routine to come and go. I'm afraid it's knocking on Cesc Fabregas again this time, right?

Arsenal's offensive routine is just like this, the midfielder gets the ball to Fabregas, and then goes straight to Van Persie in front, nothing...wait!

something passed!

Bruce felt a ball was stuffed between his legs. He subconsciously clamped his legs but couldn't stop the ball. He turned his head and saw that Van Persie had already got the ball with his hands raised high. With a smart turn, the goal is in front of you!

"Beautiful crotch! Ramsey's vision is very good. His through ball can be said to find Van Persie directly! This cooperation is very smooth! Bruce, who is in charge of defending him, is obviously out of shape. Now it is Arsenal. Opportunity!"

The Dutchman Van Persie had a lot of opportunities in this game, but most of the time he was faced with two or even three double teams, and it was difficult to even turn around.

But I have to say that Ramsey's pass is precise and ingenious enough. Leeds United's focus is on Fabregas again. The lack of defense against Ramsey and Van Persie's line gave the Dutch a chance machine!

Stop the ball, unload the ball, turn around and volley!

A series of actions were completed in one go, and Heinrich, who was watching, muttered involuntarily: "If I can buy him..."

This time, even Byron looked at the sky subconsciously, sir, is your temper okay if you see one and buy another?

Van Persie's footwork was extremely precise, and his shot went straight to the gate guarded by Schmeichel!

Schmeichel reacted quickly and flew sideways to save!

But this time Leeds United's post did not help their home team, the ball hit the post heavily, like a replica of Griezmann's shot in the first half, the ball bounced directly into the net!

Schmeichel thumped the turf helplessly, then directly hugged the ball in his arms and jumped up from the ground like a spring towards the back line. After that, I always help my teammates tighten their skins.

Arsenal was in a state of excitement. Professor Wenger was still frowning, but judging from the way he clenched his fists and paced back and forth, he could tell that the French coach was in a good mood.And Van Persie was surrounded by Arsenal players and ran all the way to the visiting team stand, accepting the worship of the Gunners fans!

Arsenal fans have some unusual traditions, that is, the noise they make at Arsenal's home stadium, the Emirates Stadium, is not as loud as it is in the away stands.Many times, fans don't like to watch Arsenal's home games, because football is not only about watching games, but also about the atmosphere of the stadium. Arsenal's home atmosphere is really not good.

Quiet, peaceful, and always possessing the reservedness and calmness of an aristocrat.

Different from the pride of Real Madrid who does not hesitate to boo the home team, the Emirates Stadium is more like a solemn club, inheriting the library nickname of Arsenal's previous Highbury Stadium, and now the Emirates Stadium is comparable to the "Emirates Library". ".

This is naturally due to the cultivation of the fan atmosphere and Arsenal's main technology, but it is more because of the high ticket price of the Emirates Stadium, which is the best in Europe, so that the fans who can go to the Emirates Stadium to watch the game are basically fans with some spare money. Many fans have been stuck with money, and the reserve of the middle and high class people has been integrated into the atmosphere of Arsenal's home court.

On the contrary, the fans who are willing to accompany Arsenal to the away game are more diehard fans. In addition, the ticket price of Leeds United this time is very low, and the scalpers are controlled to prevent scalping. A full [-] tickets can be said to be accommodated. Even if this game is Leeds United's home game, the momentum created by Arsenal after the goal is also eye-catching!

Jack Brown did not expect that Leeds United would be able to quickly equalize after the start of the second half. When the goal was replayed on the screen, Jack Brown picked up the microphone and said loudly: "Arsenal will assume Ramsey's position after the start of the second half. Judging from the results so far, this change has been very effective.”

Naturally, Heinrich also discovered this. At this moment, Heinrich was facing a real giants team.

It's not to belittle Manchester United, but because Manchester United in the FA Cup is half of Manchester United. Naturally, they can't show their full strength with a mixed lineup of main force + substitute.

But the current Arsenal is different. There are sufficient personnel reserves, and the coach's tactics have been honed for many years. The most important thing is that the players can resolutely implement the coach's instructions.

very nice.

It would be great if I could come up with two main lineups in the future.

Heinrich envied Wenger for four seconds, but he quickly put his mind back and shouted loudly: "Parker!"

Parker, who heard the voice, immediately trotted over, and when facing Heinrich, he also lost his smile because of the equalizer just now: "Boss, what's the matter?"

"Tell them, don't change the arrangement at halftime, don't mess up the formation. Now we're just pulled back to the starting point, and we haven't lost. Let them lift their heads up!" Heinrich patted Parker vigorously. shoulder, "Also, I will give you a task to cut off the connection between Ramsey and Cesc Fabregas. I don't want any communication between them, any! Even if they whisper something, you can post it to me." Go up and listen, understand?"

"Yes, boss! No problem, boss!"

It seemed that as long as he got a clear instruction from Heinrich, he would be able to relax. Parker's face was obviously much lighter, and he turned his head and ran back happily.

While running, Parker subconsciously touched his shoulder.

Ah, the boss is so kind to me, it doesn't hurt to shoot me.

Unaware that his strength was being underestimated, Heinrich put his hands in his pockets, and the next ten minutes of Leeds United's half-time could be described as turbulent!

Wenger did not sit back in his seat, but stood on the sidelines from time to time and shouted at the players to find their own positions.

This is what every coach wants to see, but before Arsenal's spirit was inspired, Leeds United started their actions.

The cooperation of Leeds United is not as layer-by-layer as Arsenal. What they can do now is to pass through the backcourt to the frontcourt, and then anyone in the frontcourt will shoot, long-range shots, lobs, strong shots, In short, as long as you can create opportunities.

What they are better at is actually destroying Arsenal's cooperation, especially after Alan Smith retreated to strengthen the midfield defense, Leeds United almost spared no effort to sweep the midfield, and resolutely refused to let Arsenal get any chance !

The pace of the game is getting faster and faster!But this fast pace does not mean that both sides have good opportunities, but because both Leeds United and Arsenal are eager to break through the opponent's goal!

"Leeds United snatched the ball off Cesc Fabregas with a close press, but Van Persie snatched it away when the ball was in front of Parker! Van Persie took a long shot! ... Oh, a little bit, it was too much What a pity! For the goal kick, Schmeichel sent a long pass to the frontcourt. Lewandowski was ready to take a kick! He was blocked by the Arsenal defender! The ball returned to Arsenal's control Oh God, how many opportunities they created that were not opportunities in the past ten minutes!"

Jack Brown felt a little crazy. He liked to commentate on the match-ups. That kind of game was very interesting. On the contrary, if the whole court was tossing around like lukewarm water, even the commentator might fall asleep.

But Leeds United and Arsenal are simply playing with red eyes!

Every shot seems to be successful, but they can cooperate and continue, but they didn't choose that, but played very open and aggressive.

Both sides did not abandon the defense, but the time for each attack basically did not exceed 30 seconds. Once the possession of the ball was switched, they would be counterattacked, and then there would be a counterattack of the counterattack!

Jack Brown thought for a few seconds, and finally found a suitable adjective: "I feel like I'm watching basketball..."

In the 79th minute of the game, Arsenal changed two people in a row. Heinrich knew that Wenger wanted to control the rhythm, because the rhythm of the game seemed to be out of control, but in fact it was disturbed by Leeds United. Closed!

The German coach hopes that players can stick to the routine of total attack and defense. Even forwards must learn to retreat and not be afraid of physical confrontation.

The defense does not need to be limited by everyone, because Arsenal can't limit their multi-point blooming. Before Manchester United had substitute players, the offensive points were predictable. The substitute players did not have the courage to steal the limelight from the starting lineup. .

What they have to do is to cut off the link between Arsenal's midfield and forwards, don't you like possession?Don't you like elegance?Then try to see if you can handle it!

Maybe let some famous players who know football watch this game, I am afraid they will shake their heads again and again, thinking that Arsenal played no Arsenal at all after the equalizer, but for the fans, this kind of scene of you coming and going is really beautiful Extreme!

Even if it only blooms but does not bear fruit, what they want to watch the live broadcast is this kind of heart-wrenching process all the time. They don't even want to blink, for fear that they will miss the goal if they blink for a second!

"I don't want a draw, and Mr. Wenger probably doesn't want to either." Heinrich whispered to Bertram, and then his eyes turned to the pitch.

There was no substitution, and Heinrich has not changed until now.

It's not that he doesn't want to change, but because the current Leeds United club is stretched, and there are basically no players on the bench that can be used. Once a change is made, it means that the last time must be handed over to God, Heinrich but do not believe in God.

After thinking for a few seconds, Heinrich suddenly gestured to Alan Smith on the field.

Alan nodded, and patted Gerrera beside him vigorously, making him resist his position, and then Alan Smith made a big move forward to the frontcourt!

This running did not attract much attention. After all, Alan Smith's position in Leeds United is a midfielder. Often back and forth.

What attracted the audience's attention most now was that Leeds United organized an attack again!

Jack Brown took a sip of water, quickly swallowed it to moisten his heavily loaded throat, and immediately said: "Schmeichel received the pass from the defender, controlled it, hugged him in his arms and avoided Van Persie, and then used the ball The way of hand throwing was handed over to Parker! Parker took the ball forward, and he advanced to the midfield. Arsenal will no longer set up any obstacles to Leeds United in this position. It is now close to 10 minutes, and physical fitness is also a big problem. .”

"Parker stood still. He was looking forward. Who would he pass the ball to? There are Lewandowski and Griezmann in front of him. Although these two people have not run out of space, they still almost have the ball!"

Levan?

Griezmann?

After thinking for two seconds, Parker made a decision, and kicked the ball hard before the Arsenal players went up!

...Uh, did you kick it?

Cesc Fabregas, who likes the small theater in his head very much in this game, subconsciously chased the ball away, and began to think in his heart that Leeds United's full-court scrambling tactics must also consume a lot of physical energy, otherwise there would be no This kind of rough pass.

But just before Fabregas chased the ball, someone suddenly flew past Fabregas directly!

Disappearing along with it was the ball that was about to go out of bounds!

Cesc Fabregas looked up in astonishment, and what he saw was a head of dazzling blond hair and the No. 17 jersey floating slightly behind him!

"Alan Smith! It was Alan Smith who grabbed the ball! This position is very dangerous! It's almost the end of the game. Didn't Alan Smith just come back from injury? How can he run like this!"

How can you run like this?

You can ask your own Adrian - penalty lap madman - what Mr. Heinrich makes them do every day!

Running forward resolutely, Alan Smith observed the position of his teammates with his eyes, and glanced at the timing card.

89 minutes.

"start running!"

Alan Smith has no more estimates, except for the two full-backs who have not left behind and Schmeichel who is guarding the players, all Leeds United players began to run wildly!

This does not mean that they are ready to put all their eggs in one basket. After all, there is still time for injury time. The length of this time depends entirely on the mood of the referee, but Leeds United's advancement is layered. From the overhead view of the broadcast signal, it can be seen It is very obvious that Leeds United attacked like a tide while keeping this formation unchanged!

Once they are counterattacked, they can turn their guns and return to defense quickly!

This feeling of being overwhelmed by the whole is terrible. The Arsenal players were taken aback. Everyone including striker Van Persie subconsciously ran back hoping to participate in the defense!

But this position is too dangerous, and Alan Smith's speed is surprisingly fast. After handing the ball to Griezmann, he did not continue to wait for Griezmann to pass the ball back, but rushed directly to the opponent's penalty area Inside!

Griezmann drove forward with the ball. Instead of doing it alone, he passed the opponent's defender through a two-to-one cooperation with Lewandowski. When he encountered the second person, Lewandowski returned the ball to Griezmann. Man, he himself did not continue to wait for the ball, but also gritted his teeth and rushed into the opponent's small penalty area with his last strength.

Arsenal's defense wanted to block Griezmann, but Griezmann didn't choose to break through. Instead, he vigorously shook off the hand that was pulling his arm, and kicked the ball without looking at it. superior!

The strength of this kick is definitely not a shot!

Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia has rich experience. He can see that Griezmann's ball has no skill or precision. If he just comes here, he will definitely be held in his arms by Almunia.

Is it that simple?

impossible!Cunning Leeds United!

Almunia looked a bit grim under his nervousness. He looked at the two opposing forwards surrounded by Arsenal players and yelled, "Quick! Guard against these two!"

Lewandowski is next to Ramsey who retreated back to defend. This 1.8-meter-four Polish forward is not short but not tall among the players, but compared with the 1.7-meter-five Alan Smith, he is definitely considered a tall.

Who will let the header go?

Of course it is a tall one!

Without hesitation, Ramsey clung to him tightly. He put his hands tightly on both sides of his body so that he was not suspected of handball, but he pressed his shoulders hard on Lewand's chest. Stop him from jumping!

But when the ball came, Lewandowski still found a chance!

He put his hand on Ramsey's shoulder, pushed the opponent away and at the same time jumped up high with Ramsey's body, facing the ball and was about to hit it!

But the ball didn't touch Lewand's head, it just brushed his hair and flew to the far end!

Almunia breathed a sigh of relief, and when he turned his head and quickly tried to block the far column, his pupils shrank suddenly.

A man in a pure white jersey who was ambushing there suddenly jumped up high. He didn't look tall or strong, but when his blond hair floated up, it was more dazzling than the sun!

A loud header hit the ball, and Almunia felt desperate when he fell to the ground, he couldn't touch the ball at all!

The ball was pushed into the upper left corner of the goal and rushed into the net, which also brought cheers from the audience!

"Goooooooooooooooooooal! Lore! Another lore! Can anyone tell me how many lores I want to see Leeds United! Fantastic Leeds United, amazing! Elland Road Stadium ushered in another miracle belonging to the White Rose!"

The Arsenal fans closed their eyes in despair. The game time has gone to 10 minutes. Even if the stoppage time is counted, they have no way to ensure that they can continue to tie the score...

Time is running out, really running out.

But the fans of Leeds United fell into the other extreme. The Elland Road Stadium was almost overturned by cheers. They shouted Alan Smith's name, almost hoarse!

Alan stood in front of the goal and looked at the white and blue fan camp, feeling a little dazed. He couldn't remember the last time he heard this kind of shouting. Perhaps he would understand the preciousness of possession only after he left.

Alan Smith is willing to sell himself for the club he loves and is willing to risk everything to come back when it gets tough.

reason?

Just because he is Leeds United!

And a few seconds later, from the diehard stands of Leeds United, under the leadership of Cecil, a song resounded through the sky!

We go forward with Leeds United;

stretch out our hands;

Stand up and sing for Leeds United;

We are the greatest in the world;

Every day, we always say;

We love you Liz!Leeds!Leeds!

Wherever we are, we are always together;

We love you Liz!Leeds!Leeds!

The author has something to say:

One day, during nap time, Schmeichel was lying on the bed and chatting quietly with Alan Smith.

Alan: You usually train alone, what are you practicing?

Schmeichel: Goalkeeper

Alan: Specifically?

Schmeichel: Oh, dips, splits, dodgeball, or throwing ten tennis balls at once to see how many I can catch

Alan: ...if you can't get any of them?

Schmeichel: ...don't ask, you don't want to know [face buried in pillow]

Alan: ...It's still comfortable to be a striker, um
