Chapter 607

After Hoffenheim scored, the game became more tense. At the beginning, Arsenal wanted to win the game without taking any risks. After all, it only needed a score of [-]-[-] to eliminate Hoffenheim, that is because of this For this reason, Hoffenheim did not dare to be too conservative.But after Hoffenheim scored a goal in the away game, Arsenal must score three goals at home to advance. It is difficult to score one goal, let alone three goals, how can Arsenal players not worry.

Gibbs was broken by Li Huan from his defensive area and scored a goal. He was very angry in his heart. The young man was full of blood, his head was hot, and he forgot everything. He did not defend himself in his own half. To make up for his mistakes and get back this face, he didn't even think about who was standing in front of him.

Li Huan was naturally happy to see Gibbs come up for an assist. If he scored another goal, Arsenal would be completely finished.

With less than five minutes to go for Hoffenheim's first goal, Walcott and Cesc Fabregas played brilliantly on the left side of Hoffenheim, with Fabregas slashing from the front of the penalty area. The shot was not powerful enough, Hildebrand hugged the ball and threw it to Li Huan casually.

At this time, Gibbs had assisted near Hoffenheim's penalty area. Arsenal's left half was empty, and it was a good opportunity for a counterattack. However, Li Huan was worried that Nasri and Gibbs would be fouled early. At this time, Arsenal's defense was much tighter than before the goal, and it was difficult to cooperate with his teammates. Li Huan made a move forward to Obasi, and rushed towards Nasri with the ball.

Li Huan's long-distance attack just now had frightened the Arsenal players. Nasri would rather receive a yellow card than let Li Huan pass by.But Li Huan just wanted to attract his attention, and before he rushed in front of Nasri, he rubbed his feet hard, and the ball flew straight behind Nasri, and passed the top of Gibbs, towards Asen. Na's half-court fly.

Gibbs looked back and found that Obasi was running towards the landing point of the ball at this moment, and he was shocked. He hurriedly turned back and chased back desperately, but Obasi's speed was not worse than him, and he started earlier than him. , how could he catch up.

Obasi's speed was much worse than Li Huan's. When he went down to the penalty area, he found that Arsenal's midfielder Song had already defended him.

Van Nistelrooy in the middle has already outflanked him.But the two central defenders were not far away from him. If Obasi passed the high-altitude ball, he would not be able to pass Sylvester and be hit by Van Nistelrooy, unless Van Nistelrooy was as tall as Yao Ming.

Obasi immediately decided to pass a ground ball. With such a ball, defenders generally dare not clear the siege, otherwise it will become an own goal, but the striker has no scruples, and Ruud van Nistelrooy is the king of the small penalty area. Obasi believes this The nickname is not in vain.

The ground ball hit the goal very quickly, and the ball was very fast.Goalkeeper Fabianski didn't dare to take the ball, but Silvester didn't dare to stretch his foot. Ruud was on his left side. If he didn't clear the ball, Ruud would definitely shoot at this point.

Sylvester stepped out to grab the point, and Van Nistelrooy also stretched out his foot to grab this point almost at the same time, but Toure on the right side of Van Nistelrooy did not dare to move. dragon.

Sylvester's foot touched the ball first, although Sylvester tackled the ball towards the goal, but the ball was too fast, the ball hit the left side of Sylvester's toe and went straight towards the goal go away.The speed is so fast and the distance is so close that the goalkeeper has no way to react.

Just when all the Arsenal fans were desperate, the ball bounced off the goal post and bounced off Sylvester's body.

"Huh!" The [-] Gunners fans at the Emirates Stadium gasped loudly at the same time, and the heart that reached the throat finally returned to its original position. If the goal is scored, Arsenal will be sentenced to death immediately .Because they score three goals and they will be eliminated.

He was counterattacked twice, scored once, and made a goal post. The 20-year-old Gibbs finally understood the cruelty of the Champions League. His face was pale, and his body almost went limp just now. I'm afraid that his originally bright career future will be dimmed from now on.

Adams cursed angrily: "Arseni should now understand how much trouble young people will make for him. Who does he think he is? Does he think he is also the World Footballer? If he dares to make such a presumptuous assist, if the goal is scored , he is the biggest sinner in this game, in fact, he is already the biggest sinner now. The responsibility of the defender is to defend, not to attack. He should be replaced, even if a right back is used, it will be more effective than him.”

Wenger was also almost pissed off by Gibbs. He had just loudly ordered Gibbs to be honest for a while. He didn't know if this kid didn't hear it, or pretended not to hear it, but he still made an assist to the frontcourt.

Taking advantage of Hoffenheim's corner kick, Wenger called Gibbs to the sidelines and said angrily: "Don't blindly assist! No, you don't want to assist. Do a good job of defending. The opponent will come from your side today. breakthrough."

Gibbs bowed his head and was speechless, and ran to the penalty area silently. The two lessons made him wake up like a dream, and understood the gap between himself and his opponent. He is the world's football player, and he is just a nobody. Mu is on the same level, but it doesn't mean he and Li Huan are on the same level.

Gibbs didn't dare to attack, but Li Huan still teased him, took the initiative to serve a corner kick, and even sent a tactical corner kick. After a match with Obasi, he dribbled the ball and approached Gibbs.

Seeing Li Huan approaching him on a bicycle in quick succession, the scene of Li Huan scoring a goal appeared in Gibbs' mind again. Gibbs was furious and forgot Wenger's order, so he rushed over Steal the ball with his feet, pull people with his hands, and use his hands and feet to put Li Huan on the ground neatly.

Gibbs' action stunned the referee, and he thought that this player was too straightforward, he didn't even think about whether he could defend his opponent, and directly stepped forward to foul.

Py!The referee's whistle blew.He quickly rushed in front of Gibbs, took out a yellow card to the young man, and awarded a free kick on the left side of the penalty area.

Guest commentator Adams couldn't help shaking his head, and said: "This little guy was tortured crazy by that Chinese. He has lost his mind. He is definitely not suitable to stay on the court. Arseni must replace him in the second half. Otherwise he will The tactical arrangement will definitely be destroyed in the hands of Gibbs."

Arsenal knew that Li Huan was good at free kicks. Although this position was not Li Huan's good scoring position, they didn't dare to neglect and formed a wall of four people to block the ball.

The position of this free kick is equivalent to a short corner kick. Li Huan did not shoot directly, but he showed his amazing control. He accurately hoisted the ball to Arshavin at the far end, the defensive player standing on the right side of Arshavin. But did not touch the ball.However, Arshavin's header was not good and was confiscated by goalkeeper Fabianski. Fabianski quickly threw the ball to Walcott. Walcott ran all the way and launched a quick counterattack.

Walcott's counterattack is fast, but it is difficult to pose too much threat to Hoffenheim's defense. Even when the free kick was just delivered, Ibezberg and the back line did not press much. Still defending steadily in the backcourt, this makes Wenger very helpless. Breaking dense defense is a worldwide problem. No team dares to say that they can easily deal with the opponent's iron barrel formation. Arsenal does not use high-altitude balls like this The team that dominates is even less able to deal with intensive defense.

The last few minutes of the first half of the game passed between Hoffenheim's intensive defense and Arsenal's crazy attack. Although Arsenal's offensive was fierce, they still failed to form a truly threatening shot. Instead, Hoffenheim Occasionally a counterattack scared Arsenal into a cold sweat.

During the intermission, Tao Wei, the commentator of Chaoting TV, summarized the first half, "There was only one goal in the half, which is also in line with the steady characteristics of the knockout game. Li Huan is the hero of the half, and his one-man performance Expanding Hoffenheim's lead, this goal is likely to be the decisive goal.

Arsenal's short pass penetration is still smooth and fast.However, Arsenal's offensive pass was too short, and no matter how fast it was, it could not tear through Hoffenheim's dense defense. Hoffenheim's preparations for this game were very meticulous, and the defensive formation was not chaotic at any moment. The three lines are kept very hierarchical and very flexible. Arsenal can't completely break through Hoffenheim's defense no matter whether it is a short pass or a long shot.In the first half, Arsenal scored Hoffenheim's 30-meter area 12 times, but they still failed to get a good long-range shot. It can be seen how successful Hoffenheim's defense is. "

Duan Xuandao: "Professor Wenger seldom gets angry, no matter what the situation is, he keeps a calm attitude, but he still got angry with Gibbs in the first half, this game really made him anxious, but after that He has a lot of experience and in the dressing room there will definitely be adjustments."

The 15 minutes passed quickly in the anticipation of the fans. When the players of both sides came out of the locker room again, both sides changed one person. Hoffenheim replaced Obasi and Eduardo. It is to continue to strengthen the coordination ability of the midfielder and provide more support for forward Van Nistelrooy.

Arsenal also changed one person, Nasri was replaced, Bendtner was replaced, and Wenger used three strikers to fight Hoffenheim to the death.This lineup is undoubtedly more risky, but the penetration of short passes is obviously unable to do anything to the opponent's defense. Wenger can only adopt a high-level attack and use head-to-head methods to break through the opponent's dense defense.

In the last game, Bendtner gave Arsenal a chance to score. Rangnick had already prepared for this. He prepared the lineup in the first half to guard against Bendtner, but he did not expect to start. It turned out to be Van Persie.

After Bendtner came up, he was entangled by Gustavo, and together with Adebayor and Van Persie, he fell into the defensive crowd of Hoffenheim. Although Walcott often got the pass on the wing Opportunity, Cesc Fabregas also often hangs the ball into the penalty area, but it is difficult for Adebayor and Bendtner to complete a shot quickly.

Every second that disappears in the second half will increase the impatience of the Arsenal players by one point. Breaking through the dense defense requires patience and precision. Under the impatience, Arsenal's players attack even more chaotically, attacking quickly and losing the ball. Hurry up, and after Hoffenheim replaced Eduardo, Hoffenheim's midfielder has two players with strong ball control ability, Ruud van Nistelrooy has also got more offensive opportunities, and the pressure on Arsenal's defense Also getting bigger and bigger.

Under Li Huan's strong pressure, Arsenal's teenager Gibbs was honest. He played 10 minutes in the second half, but Gibbs never overwhelmed the halftime.Gibbs did not assist, Li Huan became active in the backcourt, and his defensive area continued to expand, even helping to defend the position of the central defender, making Hoffenheim's defense more stable.

In the 15th minute of the second half, Hoffenheim formed a three-on-two in the frontcourt. This was Li Huan's long pass from the backcourt to find Van Nistelrooy. Van Nistelrooy returned to Arshavin, Arshavin and Eduardo. Press forward quickly, and Ruud van Nistelrooy formed a great situation against Arsenal's two central defenders.

Arshavin moved forward with the ball, Eduardo and Ruud van Nistelrooy approached the two central defenders, Arshavin wanted to attract a defender, but found that Song behind him had already chased him, he immediately passed the ball to Eduardo, himself Then run to catch the ball.But at this time Eduardo did not give the ball to Arshavin again, he took advantage of the situation and wiped it with his heel, and Ruud van Nistelrooy understood the anti-offside and went straight.

Goalkeeper Fabianski made a quick attack, and the king of the penalty area cleverly rubbed a high ball with his right foot into the far corner of the goal.Rewrite the score to 2:0.

Goalkeeper Fabianski was humiliated twice in one game.

"GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! Van Nistelrooy scored again, he made it 2:0, now Hoffenheim has basically entered the semi-finals,
Hoffenheim's frontcourt coordination was simple and smooth. It only took four passes and one shot to break through Arsenal's goal, which is no worse than Arsenal.

The Arsenal fans in the stands looked desperate and shut up again. Now they completely gave up. They must score four goals in order to advance. This is definitely an impossible task for Arsenal. "

Tao Wei roared again, he almost wanted to congratulate Hoffenheim in advance for entering the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Only the Hoffenheim fans shouted again in the stands, while the Arsenal fans were silent.Even if they don't know what the final score is, they also know the final result. Arsenal's Champions League dream was shattered again, and the ending of all four teams made people want to cry without tears.

After Hoffenheim scored a goal, they continued to make substitutions. This time, Ruud van Nistelrooy, the hero of the goal, was replaced. However, Rangnick did not change a defensive player this time, but a striker Demba Ba. frontcourt pressure.

After Ruud van Nistelrooy scored Hoffenheim's second goal, Arsenal's players were completely out of control and all pressed forward. Gibbs also assisted the frontcourt again, and the two central defenders pressed to the center circle. Here, even if they can't advance, Arsenal now have to save a little face in front of the home fans, he must score.

Wenger was also in a state of confusion. He was scored twice by his opponent and double-killed at home and away. This is unbearable for the professor. Even if there is no possibility of advancing today, he must equalize the score. This is a matter of face. The news from over there , Manchester United led Porto [-]-[-] in the away game, and now the Portuguese still has no goals. It seems that Manchester United can create a miracle, and their Arsenal can't be ashamed of the Premier League.

Wenger asked for a substitution again. The only defensive midfielder Song was replaced, and Diaby was replaced, but he was not a defensive midfielder. shit stick.It is no longer possible to fight with normal tactics, and Wenger also used crooked tricks.

Wenger wanted to go all out, but they left too much space in the backcourt. In the 25th minute of the game, Hoffenheim launched a counterattack again. Arshavin rushed forward alone, facing the defense of Arsenal defender Toure. , Arshavin swayed left and right, and suddenly passed the ball behind Toure with a through ball.

Demba Ba and Arshavin also had a tacit understanding. He advanced quickly and got the ball. Facing the goalkeeper Fabianski who attacked far outside the penalty area, Demba Ba lobbed again and Fabianski had already ran out of the penalty area. , It was too late to run back, the ball flew over his head, and rolled into the goal with a bounce.

3:0.Demba Ba's goal has completely won a place in the semi-finals for Hoffenheim.

At this time, there are still nearly 20 minutes before the game, but some Arsenal fans have already started to leave the field. They don't want to watch their team humiliated by their opponents anymore.After Demba Ba's goal, Hoffenheim made another substitution. This time Weiss went off and striker Saviola was replaced. Hoffenheim had to play against Hoffenheim in the last 10 minutes to eliminate The last game was oppressive.

After Saviola came on the field, Hoffenheim's players seemed to have a tacit understanding, and the formation moved forward at the same time, competing with Arsenal in the midfield, and moved the offensive position to the center circle.

Hoffenheim's passing and receiving are worse than Arsenal's, and the passing speed is also slow, but Hoffenheim has famous players like Arshavin, Eduardo, Ruud van Nistelrooy in the frontcourt, and Li Huan often assists in the frontcourt , They can pass, shoot and break through.Under Arsenal's anxiety, their standards were greatly lost. Hoffenheim's effort suppressed Arsenal instead.

Arsenal fell behind by three to zero, and they couldn't take advantage of the situation. They were even more irritated, and their kicks became more fierce. For a team that doesn't know how to defend, such defense is more dangerous, and sometimes it hurts. maybe.However, Hoffenheim was in a good mood, unafraid, and fought Arsenal to the end.Under the full suppression of Hoffenheim, Arsenal had no way to gain the upper hand.

The 10-minute game time was quickly filled, and the stoppage time given by the fourth official on the sidelines was 3 minutes. During these 3 minutes, Arsenal also resigned to their fate and stopped attacking. In the end, Hoffenheim scored 3 The score of :0 reached the semi-finals.They will compete with Manchester United for a place in the final.
