Football's hand covers the sky

Chapter 355 9 points

"Li~~~He rushed straight out and caught the ball" In the overcrowded penalty area, a low pass is more difficult to defend than a high-altitude pass, and it is more prone to accidents.

There is not much time left in the game. If there is an accident at this time, it will be a tragedy. In order to avoid this accident, Li Shou chose to resolve the crisis by himself.

Li Shou, who had the ball under his body, did not rush to attack. He passed the ball only after ensuring that everyone exited the penalty area. The Arsenal players knew exactly what they were going to do next.

Controlling the ball with an inverted foot did not give Chelsea a chance to threaten their own goal again. Chelsea, who were not reconciled, pressed desperately, but their pressing was of no use.

Not in the 3rd minute, Chelsea applied for another yellow card. Chelsea players became a little annoyed and fouled for no reason when they could not grab the ball.

Unfortunately, such a foul had no effect on the game. Although Chelsea grabbed the ball from Arsenal at the last moment, the whistle for the end of the game also sounded at this moment.

"0:0~~~Nine and 10 minutes, neither side scored a goal." This score is not a good thing for Chelsea.

"6 points, the difference between Arsenal and Chelsea is still 6 points" Although the lead has not been expanded, for Arsenal, not narrowing the difference is a victory.

So when the game ended, there was a huge cheer from the stands at the Emirates Stadium, and people who didn't know thought Arsenal had won.

"The gap of 6 points is not unattainable, but with Arsenal's performance this season, Chelsea's hope is very slim" Yes, slim, this can be seen from the expressions of the Chelsea players after the game.

On the contrary, the smiles on the faces of Arsenal's players couldn't be hidden. Although Arsenal hadn't won the league title yet, this tie made Arsenal's distance from the league title infinitely narrow.

...............................

"The referee should take a look at the department now. If it weren't for the strange penalties in this game, the score on the field would definitely not be 0:0." After the game, Mourinho pointed directly at the referee Oliver.

"It's not 0:0~~~ because Arsenal will win, and the suspense of the league will end early," Wenger retorted immediately.

Although Wenger was also dissatisfied with Oliver's penalty, as far as the result is concerned, Arsenal is completely acceptable, so Wenger can not pursue the referee's mistake, but Mourinho will definitely not let it go.

In fact, I don’t blame Mourinho for being like this. The championship of this game belongs to the league. Only by defeating Arsenal can Chelsea hope to complete the overtake. But after the game ended, Chelsea has lost this opportunity. No, it has not completely lost it, but it is very slim.

Mourinho's unwillingness can only usher in the punishment of the FA in the end, but this still cannot stop Mourinho, and even Chelsea sent Oliver's misjudgment to the FA.

Chelsea's reluctance has nothing to do with Arsenal. Although Arsenal's winning streak has been terminated again, in front of the champions, no one cares about this winning streak. Wenger gave the players half a day off after the game, and then began to prepare for the make-up match against Sunderland.

The game with Chelsea can be tied, but Arsenal must win the make-up match with Sunderland. As far as the current situation is concerned, only by winning Sunderland can Arsenal concentrate on preparing for the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid.

If Arsenal can win Sunderland, the point difference with Chelsea will be widened to 9 points. Although 9 points still cannot allow Arsenal to lock in the championship in advance, don't forget that there are only 4 rounds left in the league.

With Arsenal fully preparing for the game, time flies and Sunderland arrived in London soon. This make-up match is still Arsenal's home court, which is undoubtedly a huge advantage for Arsenal.

In order to win against Sunderland, Wenger dispatched an all-main lineup. Although a league game will be played in a few days, Wenger can no longer control that much. This game must be won, and the point difference must be widened to 9 points before considering other things.

At home, Arsenal showed Sunderland what home court advantage is. The shot was completed within one minute of the start of the game. Griezmann dunked the defender from the side and then made a cross. Giroud beat Coates with a header in the penalty area.

Coates is a few centimeters taller than Giroud, but the Uruguayan was completely crushed by Giroud in this fight for the top. If it weren't for the good performance of the Sunderland goalkeeper, Arsenal would have already taken the lead.

Giroud's header was quite good, but Pantilimon blocked it in the end, but Arsenal made a comeback soon, and still passed the high ball into the penalty area.

The Sunderland goalkeeper is more than two meters tall and has good aerial control ability, but he is not good at judging the landing point of high-altitude balls, and often makes mistakes in defending high-altitude balls.

But today Pantilimon performed very well on the high-altitude ball. Arsenal made a high-ball pass and was finally cleared by Pantilimon. Giroud did not hit the ball.

Five minutes later, Pantilimon once again resolved a wave of high-altitude bombing from Arsenal. This time it was not a pass, but the ball was hoisted into the penalty area from the front of the penalty area.

Arsenal, unable to gain an advantage in the air, immediately changed their tactics and succeeded in the No. 19 minute. Sanchez broke through from the wing and cut into the penalty area.

O'Shea immediately stepped forward to fill the position, but with O'Shea's fill, there was a gap in the middle of Sunderland, and at this time Cazorla had already rushed into the Sunderland penalty area.

With a diagonal pass, Sanchez passed the ball into the neutral position, and Cazorla inserted it at high speed. At the same time, the Sunderland goalkeeper also chose to attack, but his height of more than two meters limited Pantilimon's speed, and Cazorla touched the ball first.

"1:0~~~~ Cazorla's kick to death" Cazorla, who was the first to touch the ball, kicked the ball directly. Although Pantilimon immediately raised his hand to block it, his reaction was still slow.

After taking the lead, Arsenal began to chase after the victory, but failed to expand their lead before the end of the first half. Sunderland also needed to work hard for relegation, so they also worked hard.

So Wenger changed his tactics again during the intermission, using Sunderland's heart to fight back against relegation. This is also Arsenal's best tactic this season.

Li Shou did not disappoint Wenger. In the 606th minute, Li Shou seized the opportunity to make a clearance and created a wave of counterattacks. Sanchez won a single shot and rewritten the score to 2:0.

This goal completely crushed Saunders, because no team has completed the overtake in the face of Arsenal's two-goal deficit this season.

The demoralized Sunderland gave a big gift 5 minutes later. Veteran O'Shea made a mistake and sent the ball to Griezmann's feet.

Facing this great gift, Griezmann readily accepted it, and made a strong shot to rewrite the score to 3:0, which was also the final score of the game.
