The atmosphere in the stands of the Riverside Stadium is in a state of joy.

Middlesbrough fans couldn't see how sharp Arsenal's offense was today, and they took it for granted that Arsenal had the FIFA virus.

But in fact, it was only because of various factors that Arsenal lost the momentum of swallowing thousands of miles last season.

The away game tends to be conservative, the four-man team in the attacking group, Hleb and Reyes are not Pires and Ljungberg, and the team chemistry is naturally not as efficient as before.

When the first half came to the 37th minute, Fabregas instigated a forward offensive.

He dribbled all the way forward in the middle, Parlor and Boateng had been vigilant for Fabregas to pass the ball to Qin Xiong, while Qin Xiong slowly pulled to the left, creating a direction for Fabregas front space.

Parlor and Boateng looked dignified, and when Fabregas dribbled closer and closer, and there was no sign of passing the ball, they felt that something was wrong!

They paid too much attention to staring at Qin Xiong, and they were a little surprised when Fabregas didn't pass the ball to Qin Xiong.

When Fabregas dribbled to the front of the penalty area, Boateng had to run to press. As soon as he moved, Qin Xiong also accelerated from the left to the center. At this time, Fabregas made a sudden pass again, Qin Xiong The moment he got the ball in the middle, he inserted obliquely into the middle. After a successful response, he waded through Parlor's defense line and faced the back line of the penalty area!

Boateng immediately shrunk the penalty area, Southgate stepped forward to intercept Qin Xiong, Boateng and Exiogu focused on blocking Henry's running position, and Quayedrew prevented Reyes from cutting inside.Retzger is on the lookout for Hleb, who is looking for an opening on the perimeter to cut inside.

Middlesbrough's defense is calm and organized. This kind of defense seemed to be seamless before.

At best, it's just giving Qin Xiong a not-so-good long-range shot.

But this time, they took all the defensive measures, but ignored one point!

Fabregas!

Qin Xiong lightly crossed the ball to the right when Southgate stepped forward to press.

Fabregas slammed the ball directly into the penalty area. Seeing that the situation was not good, Boateng had to move to press Fabregas, but when he moved, the blockade formed between him and Exiogu suddenly collapsed!

Henry.Liberated!

Cesc Fabregas calmly crossed the direction behind Boateng's movement, and Henry crossed there diagonally to meet the ball and easily pushed the bottom left corner of the goal to succeed!

Henry pointed to Fabregas after scoring the goal, and then called other teammates to celebrate the goal. They gathered together next to the goal, showing the unity of Arsenal in difficult times!

"Arsenal equalized the score! Wonderful attacking cooperation, classic demonstration of ground pass and cut, Middlesbrough's defense made a major mistake! How can Henry play in the penalty area? When Henry has space to run diagonally time. He is unstoppable. No one can stop Henry!"

Middlesbrough seemed a little dazed after conceding the ball, feeling that the defense was suddenly messed up, and Arsenal became different from before!

In fact, it is a very simple attack and defense change.

阿森纳从4人VS6人的进攻和6人VS4人的防守变成了5人进攻，5人防守。

Although it's just one more person and one person's offensive and defensive changes.

However, the changes derived on the football field are more abundant, and the effect of affecting the whole body has had a major impact on the situation!

After the celebration, Qin Xiong and Cesc Fabregas gave a high-five. They smiled at each other and ran to the backcourt together.

Although Arsenal are in a difficult period that is worse, it does not mean that even Middlesbrough can play wild in front of them!

Fabregas continued to participate in the attack in the frontcourt.A more direct and sharper attack began to appear in front of Middlesbrough's defense.

Middlesbrough had to make defensive adjustments. They began to ignore the attack on the two wings, and instead invested more troops to contain the threat posed by Qin Xiong and Cesc Fabregas in the middle, and to ensure that Henry did not cause trouble in their penalty area.

This is bound to produce their marking errors, exposing the space in the penalty area or the wing.

In the 43rd minute of the game, Fabregas and Qin Xiong exchanged passes and cooperated in front of the penalty area. Fabregas moved forward and Boateng followed him like a shadow.Quayedrew also entered the penalty area to block Fabregas' forward line. Qin Xiong passed the ball diagonally in front of Parlor to the right side of the penalty area.

Everyone thought that Qin Xiong's ball was passed to Cesc Fabregas.But they found that the football sent by Qin Xiong rolled past Fabregas!

Did the pass go wrong?

No!

The ball rolled into the penalty area was received by Reyes who cut in from the wing, and he rushed past Quayedreu's defense the moment he touched the ball.Formed a single-handed trend!

There are Southgate and Exiogu in the middle of the goal. The two veterans blocked Henry very well. Reyes' best choice was to shoot himself. He kicked without hesitation, but the football hit the goal. The stands!

Wenger showed a disappointed expression on the sidelines!

He has been giving Reyes a chance, but Reyes has never been recognized!

The reason is not complicated.

Players, if they perform well, they will be recognized, and if they perform poorly, they will naturally be questioned.

This is the case for Reyes, who doesn't need too many complicated reasons to analyze.

This kind of opportunity does not dare to say that the shot must be scored, at least it is more reliable, so that people will not feel too sorry and regretful, which is normal.

But Arsenal still missed such an opportunity.

The two teams walked into the locker room with a score of 1:1.

Middlesbrough need to rework their defensive strategy.

There are not many things that Arsenal need to change. Defending the opponent's high-altitude bombing is actually not based on crowd tactics, especially when Middlesbrough is not a complex style of high-altitude bombing combined with pass-cut penetration.

There is no need to change the defense, the attack needs to be changed, Fabregas is not very useful in the backcourt defense, Wenger let him play by ear in the second half, if Middlesbrough still maintains the first half tactics, then Fabregas Just get more involved in the offense.

The game came to the second half, and Arsenal's offensive played vigorously.

In the 53rd minute of the game, Qin Xiong relied on his personal ability to control the ball on the front waistline. He slammed left and right seemingly aimlessly, but disrupted Middlesbrough's defensive system.

The right back Retzger rushed up to support Parlor's press. Obviously, the aged Parlor was being played around in front of Qin Xiong!

After Retzger rushed up, Qin Xiong decisively sent a diagonal pass to the ground.

He easily created a large space for Middlesbrough's defense on the right.

Hleb cut into the penalty area, another chance to do it alone!

Hleb kicked the goal eagerly, and Middlesbrough goalkeeper Schwarzer bravely rushed to hug the football!

Wenger is about to collapse on the sidelines!

If it were Pires and Ljungberg, at least one of the two chances in the first and second half would be scored!

Now, Arsenal are squandering their chances! (to be continued~^~)
