Basically, no team in the Premier League has dared to come to Highbury to play a double striker formation, but this also depends on the situation.

Just like today.Wigan Athletic has a double striker, but their offensive and defensive system is actually an arrangement of 8 people defending and 2 people attacking, that is to say, they did not let the midfielders actively participate in the offense.

Wigan Athletic defended from the back line and the midfield line from the very beginning, compressing the space in the dangerous zone, and trying to avoid being penetrated by Arsenal's through ball as much as possible.

But Arsenal's offense was still not too difficult to stop.

In the 2nd minute of the game, Qin Xiong got rid of Brad laterally in front of the penalty area, then swayed the ball deftly in front of Francis and continued to swing the ball laterally to open the shot. He seemed to ignore Wigan Athletic's defense and directly blasted a Foot iconic long shot!

The ball flew into Wigan Athletic's goal with a powerful spin.Goalkeeper Polit broke out in a cold sweat. He made a wrong prediction from the very beginning.It seems that Qin Xiong's long shot is more like an S-shaped trajectory!

boom!

The football hit the crossbar and bounced back!

"Qin Xiong almost broke the opponent's goal for Arsenal at the beginning of the game! What a pity, his wonderful long-range shot was rejected by the crossbar! Listen, there are already singing Qin Xiong's war songs in the Highbury stands! Arsenal Fans' love for Qin Xiong has climbed to the peak recently, Qin Xiong, the rookie king last season, has made a leap this season, and now he has to admit that he is already a superstar!"

Qin Xiong ran to the midfield without changing his expression and began to defend.

Wigan Athletic's two midfielders defending Qin Xiong, Brad and Francis looked at each other helplessly, as if they both sighed tacitly in their hearts.

When Qin Xiong first came last season, everyone thought he was a rookie, and he would definitely not be able to adapt to the fierce confrontational atmosphere of the Premier League, so he fell into a loss in the birthplace of modern football.

But when the second season came to the final stage, Qin Xiong had not only adapted to the Premier League, but also became stronger here, playing with ease on the field, and even made many defensive players of the Premier League team fear!

Can't resist!

Wigan Athletic played the traditional British long pass, and did not consider the midfield line to advance forward.

In the 6th minute of the game, Ljungberg fired anti-aircraft guns from a long distance from the outside.

Three minutes later, Qin Xiong made a pass from the right side of the penalty area to the back of the goal.

In the 16th minute of the game, Henry started a solo attack after receiving Qin Xiong's pass from the left side of the midfield.

The king of Highbury took advantage of the poor rhythm of the waving ball to change direction. Taiale and Zimbonda were successively broken by Henry's change of direction and accelerated breakthrough. However, when turning into the penalty area in the middle, Henry's shooting space and angle became very small. He returns the ball to the top of the penalty area.

Brad and Francis, who were closely guarding Qin Xiong, followed like shadows, but they did not expect that Qin Xiong chose to miss the ball when the football rolled.

The two watched in astonishment as Qin Xiong rushed towards the penalty area without looking back, but the football rolled to the side and rear.

When the two looked back, they saw Cesc Fabregas running up from behind with restrained momentum!

The Spanish genius volleyed the ball directly, and the football flew directly into the penalty area, but was blocked by defender Henkouts with his body.

Qin Xiong ran forward just now because he knew that Fabregas would follow up with a long shot from the back row. He rushed into the penalty area to look for a second attack opportunity.

At this time, the football blocked by Hencoutts bounced right in front of Qin Xiong. He subconsciously blocked the ball with his stomach, and ran forward with the trend to pass Hencoutts, directly forming a one-handed momentum. !

Goalkeeper Polit left the goal in disbelief and rushed towards Qin Xiong. With a flick of his ankle, Qin Xiong kicked the football lightly towards the lower left corner of the goal!

When the football rolled into the goal, Qin Xiong was about to run to celebrate the goal, but he saw the referee running from behind to signal with both hands that the goal was invalid!

And whistled Qin Xiong for a foul in the penalty area.

"Qin Xiong's goal just now was disallowed! Why did the referee call for a foul? Oh, he punished Qin Xiong for a handball in the penalty area. It was suspected of handball, but we saw through the slow-motion replay that Qin Xiong's hand did not touch the football, which should be a misjudgment!"

Wenger was on the sidelines with one hand on his hip, and with the other hand he gestured indignantly towards the fourth official in protest.

Qin Xiong smiled and exchanged a few words with the referee in the stadium.

He is not a powder keg that explodes at one point.

The situation just now was really difficult to judge. After all, his hand was very close to the part where the football hit the side of his stomach, and his movements were very coherent, which inevitably gave people the illusion of his handball.

After friendly negotiations with the referee, Qin Xiong regained his serious expression and walked towards the backcourt.

The Arsenal fans in the Highbury stands refused and started booing the referee. (To be continued..)
