Chapter 346 Chapter 345: Wenger Changes!
Chen Fan kicked the football back to the backcourt, and Barcelona's frontcourt pounced like a pack of hungry wolves!
They are a side that is behind and desperate to keep the football at their feet.

Arsenal moved the ball significantly faster, but they were not in a hurry to move the football to the front and launch an attack.

They are trying to wear down Barcelona's spirit.

But the vigor of the six-time champion is not so easy to wear down. Barcelona's midfielder is more active in the frontcourt!

In front of the wolf-like Barcelona midfielder, Arsenal didn't dare to push the midfielder, and finally transferred the football to the frontcourt.

Arsenal go on the attack!

Due to Van Persie's absence and Wenger's belief that Chen Fan's playing as a center forward was a waste and he could not give full play to his own characteristics, the Frenchman did not arrange the position of center forward in this game.

Chen Fan and Eduardo Costa are active on the two flanks.

Of course, this arrangement puts a lot of pressure on Barcelona's two wings, but there is no center forward in the center, which makes it difficult for them to form a threat in the center.

In the 3rd minute of the second half, after Chen Fan received a diagonal pass from Fabregas, he forced a breakthrough from the wing.

With his own speed, Chen Fan left Abidal behind and made a cross pass five meters from the bottom line!
The tall Pique stuck Eduardo Costa behind him, Puyol stepped forward two steps, and made a clearance with a big foot.Arsenal's attack could only return in vain.

Three minutes later, Arsenal made a comeback again. Chen Fan made a difficult breakthrough to Yaya Toure and Iniesta and made a diagonal pass.

Eduardo Costa takes the ball and goes towards Puyol!

Relying on his own experience, the Barcelona captain abruptly stole the football from Eduardo Costa's feet!
Arsenal failed to attack twice, which made the home fans miss Van Persie who was sitting on the bench.

So there was a huge voice in the stands: "Van Persie!"

"Van Persie!"

"Van Persie!"

They hope that Van Persie will play to share the burden with Chen Fan, so that the threat of Arsenal's offense will be greater.

After Wenger exhaled a long breath, he asked Van Persie to go to the sidelines to prepare.

As time goes by, Barcelona's offensive becomes more and more intensive!

In the 9th minute of the first half, under Harvey's dispatch, Barcelona launched an attack on the left.Alves suddenly kicked back about three meters from the bottom line, and Messi flew forward to control the football.

Not waiting for Eb to pounce on the defense, the Argentine made a cross pass with the outside of his left foot!
Iniesta goes straight!
Messi, who got into Arsenal's penalty area, leaned on Salvagni and shot a low shot, and the football flew to the far corner!
Almunia leaped forward and saved the football from the bottom line with difficulty, finally disintegrating the opponent's attack.

"Barcelona!"

"Barcelona!"

"Barcelona!"

Watching his team attack like a wave, the Barcelona fans who came from afar gave out loud shouts.

Amidst the loud cheers of the fans, Harvey kicked a corner kick into the Arsenal penalty area, Pique rose from the ground, and scored a ferocious header!

The football flies towards the upper right corner of the goal!
Almunia flew over and failed to touch the football.

"Pong!..." With a loud noise, the football hit the post hard and bounced back into the penalty area!
The tall Ibrahimovic squeezed away Suwani, stepped forward and made a follow-up shot!
The football goes towards the near corner!

Almunia, who was lying on the turf, instinctively stretched out his right hand to grab it!
His hand touched the football!

But Ibrahimovic's supplementary shot was too powerful, and the football continued to fly towards the goal!

Arsenal fans blindfolded in despair, they did not want to see their own goal was broken by Barcelona.

At this moment, a red and white figure flew out——Chen Fan soared into the air, and his outstretched right foot intercepted the football in the air!

Gallas stepped forward and kicked the football out of the sideline with a big foot, and the danger in front of Arsenal was resolved!

Bill, the commentator of Sky Sports, shouted in surprise: "Chen! Chen stepped forward at the critical moment, blocked Ibrahimovic's supplementary shot, and tried to keep Arsenal's goal!"

The ESPN commentator said loudly: "Arsenal fans were desperate when the football passed Almunia's right finger, but Chen appeared like a savior, rose into the air and intercepted the football!"

The Catalan TV commentator said regretfully: "Barcelona almost broke Arsenal's goal..."

On the court, Almunia got up from the turf, pulled Chen Fan up, and gave him a tight hug!

"boom!……"

There was a huge exclamation from the stadium.

The Barcelona fans shouted angrily: "Damn, why is that damn guy everywhere?"

In the VIP seat, UEFA President Michel Platini's eyes lit up.The former French midfielder, who brought the French team from the second-tier European team to the first-tier European team, can't help but stand up and applaud at this moment!
He was applauding Chen Fan's defense.

Wenger clenched his fists with lingering fear, it was too thrilling...

He immediately called Van Persie, who had finished warming up, to his side and taught him the opportunity.

Soon after, Van Persie stood on the sidelines with the fourth official.

Bill, the commentator of Sky Sports, said: "Van Persie is ready to play after returning from injury! Due to his absence, Arsenal lost a fulcrum in the frontcourt, and the offense is extremely difficult. I hope that after he plays, he can help Arsenal solve the offensive dilemma!"

The ESPN commentator said loudly: "Wenger took the lead when the situation was passive, adjusted the lineup, and replaced Van Persie. The Dutch striker should replace Eduardo Costa, who is not performing well!"

At this moment, Song struggled hard and poked the football out of the baseline.

The referee signaled the game to be suspended, and Eduardo Costa glanced at the electronic display screen in the hands of the fourth official on the sidelines, and walked slowly towards the sidelines.

There was thunderous applause in the stands, and the Arsenal fans breathed a sigh of relief. The Dutch striker combination is Arsenal's most powerful offensive combination.

After Van Persie came on the field, he came to Chen Fan and conveyed Wenger's message in his ear - to play the midfielder instead!
After Chen Fan pondered for a moment, he accepted Wenger's command and returned to his own half.

Watching Chen Fan return to his own half, the Arsenal fans opened their mouths. The Dutch striker combination they expected was broken, and Chen Fan went to play the midfielder.

Does Wenger think two goals are enough?
The ESPN commentator shouted: "Chen Gai kicked the midfielder? Wenger has changed! Arsenal's formation has changed to [-]!"

"He is going to fight hard in the midfield to deal with Barcelona's strong midfield!"

Bill, the commentator of Sky Sports, thought for a while and said: "This change is a bit conservative..."

Afterwards, he remembered Chen Fan's various actions on the midfielder, and changed his words: "Actually, this change is also possible, after all, Barcelona's goal is not so easy to break.

Moreover, Chen's offensive ability on the midfielder is also very powerful, especially his long pass and quick counterattack, which is Arsenal's offensive weapon when he kicks the midfielder! "

The Catalan TV commentator said with a complicated expression: "Chen retreats and kicks the midfielder. The pressure on Barcelona's defense will indeed be much less, but the pressure on offense will increase."

Pique and Puyol glanced at each other, they saw that the other was much more relaxed, that damned guy kicked the lower back...

Harvey and Iniesta glanced at each other, and they saw the seriousness in each other's eyes...
