King's Landing Nottingham

Chapter 368
Chapter 368 The Shocking Barb
No one knows what the head coaches of both sides said during the intermission, and what targeted adjustments and arrangements were made, just like no one knows why Notts County sent a replica of the Brazilian team.

In short, at the beginning of the second half, neither Arsenal nor Notts County made any substitution adjustments, nor did the players' positions change.

After all, there are still some changes in the game. At least the frequency of yellow cards is rising in a straight line. Less than 10 minutes into the second half, Toure, Anthony, Vieira, and Gilbert Silva each received a topaz card. body.

This Premier League, which is destined to be extraordinary, cannot determine the ranking of any team, and the win or loss of both sides will not have any impact on the standings.

This is a battle to justify one's name, the meaning of which is far more important than three points!

Soon, in the No.604 minute of the second half, Rivaldo, under the protection of the midfield defensive trio, went all the way to the baseline. Ashley Cole blocked the cross from the baseline with his body , Notts County wins a right corner.

It was Ronaldinho who was responsible for taking the corner kick on the right. The Brazilian raised one arm, and the Arsenal players were also on the verge of a formidable enemy.

Although Arsenal's data team has also collected a lot of Notts County game data, and they also know that they have some secret signals for set kicks, but the Notts County people are very thieves:
Their passwords seem to have different meanings in different games, so even Professor Wenger dare not draw conclusions easily.

This is a tactical corner kick. Ronaldinho gave the ball to Felipe Ram. The German full-back passed the ball from a 45-degree angle. Yaya Toure used his body as a cover and stopped his chest. ball:
The ball stopped to Edgar Davis, the Dutchman in goggles followed up with a volley, and Kolo Touré's clearance was almost an own goal.

It's still a corner kick, and it's a damn one-armed raise. In case he really still takes a tactical corner kick, the Arsenal people have to guard against it.

Just as Pires ran out to stare at Lahm, Ronaldinho took a corner kick from the right. The Brazilian made a direct cross this time. The volley didn't work hard, and the ball was blocked out of the penalty area by Sol Campbell.

Ljungberg, who was waiting on the sidelines, was about to start a fast break. Edgar Davis rushed up from behind, pulled and dragged, and a tactical foul was directly placed on Ljungberg.

A yellow card cannot be escaped. Notts County's midfield defensive trio now also has a topaz card for each player.

Even though the five players strangled in the midfield of the two teams all received a yellow card, their fighting actions were still as fierce as ever, and they would not restrain their behavior just because they would be sent off.

The positioning of the few of them is to be responsible for doing the dirty work, so they must have this ideological awareness.

No.704 minutes, Bergkamp received a long pass from Vieira's backcourt, stopped the ball at the top of the arc and swiped it across. Thierry Henry's volley from the penalty area line flew directly into the stands.

Taking advantage of this dead ball time, Guardiola made substitution adjustments. The new force George Grant and Thiago Motta played, replacing Yaya Toure and Edgar Davis.

The two of them were still exhausted in the game against the Premier League leader. In the last 25 minutes, it was easy for the opponent to seize the opportunity to score. Guardiola did not want to leave such an obvious loophole for Arsenal.

This substitution naturally has advantages and disadvantages. Although it has increased the vitality of Notts County's midfield to a certain extent, the defense line composed of Thiago Motta and George Grant must not have Yaya Toure and Edgar Davis is reliable when the two are together.

Sure enough, in the No.80 minute of the second half, Thiago Motta had to foul Pires who had broken through because of a defensive loss, and gave Arsenal a free kick from the right.

Vieira passed the ball in front of the goal, Bergkamp's header was ferried, Thierry Henry leaned on Dani Alves and then turned around to shoot, Edwin van der Sar had already predicted this line, The early movement allowed the Dutch goalkeeper to easily fall to the ground and hug the ball.

"Press up, press up!"

Van der Sar yelled, took the ball and rushed out of the penalty area quickly, until he ran to the line of the big penalty area, but he did not find a position where he could launch a fast break.

In this game, Arsenal's quick counterattack against Notts County was strictly guarded, and neither Arjen Robben nor Franck Ribery played.Without a chance, Edwin van der Sar could only give up and pass the ball to Dani Alves who was closest to him.

Only 3 minutes later, Italian central defender Cannavaro made a fierce tactical foul in his backcourt because he took the blame for his younger brother. He was warned by the referee and gave Arsenal a forward in a good position. Field free kick.

He just lost his wife and lost his army.

Just when Edwin van der Sar was about to direct his teammates to line up the wall, Arsenal chose to serve fast. Thierry Henry pressed the ball on the turf, hit it horizontally after it was settled, and then rushed forward quickly.

Ice Prince Bergkamp understood his partner's intentions and sent a precise through ball. Thierry Henry did not stop the ball and shot a strong shot, which was blocked by Notts County defender Abelardo from the baseline.

The quality of Pires' corner kick was good, and it was still the same routine. Sol Campbell's header from the previous point was ferried, and the ball was a little high.

French striker Thierry Henry made a short acceleration, without making any adjustments, and directly chose the barb shot.

"What a shot!"

……

"What a goal!"

"Fantastic!"

The commentators at the scene no longer knew what words to use to describe Henry's shooting action and goal.

If a Chinese commentator were here, he would probably use an idiom to express his inner excitement:
The stone is shocking, the earth is shaking, the earth is shaking!

It's wonderful, and there are few people!
Caught off guard and with an extremely precise position to catch the ball, French forward Henry helped Arsenal equalize with an earth-shattering barb shot.

The Meadow Lane stadium fell into a deathly silence. It was only a few minutes away, and they could take away the victory in a few minutes. Why didn't they have the advantage of defending a goal?
The situation on the field was reversed in an instant, Arsenal began to attack violently, while Notts County went on the defensive instead.

Fortunately, Edwin van der Sar and Cannavaro have played their role as veterans, really like the mainstay.

The Italian made a goal line clearance to defuse the danger, while the Dutch goalkeeper saved Henry's single-handed goal. The outstanding performance of the two veterans finally helped Notts County to a draw with the Premier League leaders Arsenal at Meadow Lane. A flat.
