Chapter 110 Leading

After more than 20 minutes of attacking, the Arsenal players gradually began to lose patience.Arsenal won the Premier League championship, and there are many strong Premier League teams among the opponents they defeated.But I have never played such a useless game today.

In the Premier League, whether it is a strong team or a weak team, there is no such utilitarian style of play as Burnley.For now, Burnley's rogue tactics of strictly guarding against death are hated by England fans very much.Although English football is technically inferior to South American players, it likes the open style of play in terms of style of play.

Therefore, although Arsenal led by Graham was powerful, it was a very headache opponent for many teams.Graham ruled the army in the Iron Bowl, creating an Arsenal with a strong style of play and a tough style of play.But because of the boring 1:0 doctrine, the conservative style of play has been criticized by English football.

Although Graham brought Arsenal many championships, even some Arsenal fans at the time felt that Arsenal's games were too ugly.He even joked that Highbury in the Graham era was a library, because the game was boring, the fans were not interested, and the Gunners paid too much attention to physical confrontation, and their style was so brave that it was rough, which was also criticized by critics.This is the England fan of this era.

Wenger has been in charge of Arsenal for less than two years. Although it is also a defensive counterattack, it has made Arsenal a team with smooth coordination and gorgeous offense.

Even if Arsenal encounter the weakest team in the Premier League, they have never experienced a defense like Burnley.The patience of the Arsenal players was worn out bit by bit, Vieira and Pettit's positions kept moving forward, and then Arsenal's defense line also began to move forward.

Although the offense was blocked, Arsenal's offense still revolved around Overmars on the left and Bergkamp in the center.

As Burnley receded further and further back, Arsenal's defense line also moved forward.

The game passed by one minute and one second, and soon it was thirty minutes.Bergkamp couldn't turn around with the ball, because Neil Lennon followed Bergkamp like a shadow.As long as Bergkamp has the ball, he will keep hitting him from behind.

Bergkamp looked left and right, and there were only Burnley players in red and sky blue, while Arsenal players in yellow were only a few.Bergkamp repassed the ball to Vieira in desperation.Vieira passed the ball to Overmars on the left.

As soon as Overmars got the ball, Camoranesi came to defend.Speaking of which, Camoranesi's defensive ability as an offensive winger is very poor, but Camoranesi's style of play is tough, and he is also a master at playing small tricks growing up in South America.So it made Overmars very uncomfortable.

Camoranesi's small moves are basically moves that won't win cards, but they annoy Overmars, who is dribbling the ball.

As soon as Overmars dribbled the ball, Finnan in front had already stood still.But Overmars is not afraid. It is common to have one or two, or even two or three players in the Premier League.Overmars has such strength, so Overmars slightly changed direction and increased his speed.

But the space here is too narrow. As soon as Overmars speeded up, Matthew Holland in the middle made a tackle and left the ball in place.Of course Overmars was also hooked, but the referee didn't blow his whistle.There are a lot of tackles and collisions in England at this level, and the English referees also allow them.

When Finnan saw the ball left in place, he naturally passed the ball to Ballack in the middle.This is a habit that has been formed over the season. When they don't know how to handle the ball, Burnley players will hand over the ball to Ballack to handle it.

In this game, Ballack's defensive task is relatively heavy, because Matthew Holland has to take care of the defense on the right.Although Overmars hasn't shown much power yet, who can ignore it.Once Overmars breaks in, he has the ability to kill.So Matthew Holland is going to help Camoranesi defend Overmars with Finnan.

Neil Lennon, who has always been in charge of Burnley's central defense, has the task of marking Bergkamp in this game. Wherever Bergkamp goes, Neil Lennon will follow.Therefore, among Burnley's three midfielders, Ballack has the heaviest task.Ballack is the last barrier in the middle to protect the back line.

Although Vieira's offensive ability is not very strong now, it does not mean that Vieira really has no offensive ability.It's just that compared with the mature Vieira in the future, the current Vieira is relatively immature.So Ballack has been busy defending in the middle.

But Ballack is Ballack after all, and George didn't let Ballack play just for defense.George gave Ballack a lot of power, allowing him to choose defense and offense according to the situation on the court.Therefore, Ballack has been observing the situation on the field, waiting until Arsenal's defense line starts to move forward, knowing that the time to counterattack has arrived.

Finnan's ball came to Ballack's feet, and Ballack didn't hesitate, and passed it directly to the left.

"Daniel, it's Daniel...it's not Ljungberg, it's Daniel who received the ball." Ballack passed the ball to the left, Ljungberg didn't step forward, but Daniel rushed up from behind.

Seeing Daniel taking the ball, Petit stepped forward to defend Daniel.As if Daniel didn't see Pettit, he wiped past Pettit at the same speed.

Arsenal's defense did not ignore Burnley just because Burnley has not counterattacked.Seeing Daniel with the ball, Dixon stepped forward to press, and the overall defense began to fall back.Daniel, who had already picked up his speed, saw Dixon coming to defend, and rushed towards Dixon without any intention of braking.

When he was two meters away from Dixon, Daniel suddenly kicked the ball between Dixon and Keown, and then the man went around Dixon from the side.

"The beautiful ball passed...Daniel was two meters away from Dixon when he accelerated. But Dixon was four or five meters behind Daniel in a few steps. Daniel's speed is too fast!" Martin Taylor saw Daniel After the ball was passed, I was amazed at Daniel's amazing speed.

Daniel said that his small skills are not as good as Ljungberg, and his breakthrough in a small area is not as good as Overmars, but in terms of absolute speed and dribbling speed, he far exceeds Ljungberg and Overmars.Daniel's speed is completely comparable to the later gun king Henry.Like Henry, Daniel is nearly 1.9 meters tall. Once he runs with long legs, no one can stop him.

So it wasn't just Martin Taylor who was surprised, Dixon was even more surprised.Arsenal's defense has been playing offside tactics since the Graham era.But now that several of them are getting older, what they are most afraid of is the anti-offside of speed players.Dixon knew that once Daniel ran over, it would be a fatal crisis for Arsenal.

So Dixon risked his card and tried to grab Daniel by the hand.It's a pity that Daniel flew past Dixon like the wind, and Dixon's hand could only catch the air.He watched Daniel leave quickly in a daze.

However, Arsenal's defense deserves to cooperate for many years. Keown immediately came to help the defense, while Adams continued to return to the defense.Keown didn't expect to be able to guard Daniel, as long as he could slow Daniel down, he would have accomplished his goal.

"Daniel's amazing speed...Arsenal is in danger, Daniel is going straight into the penalty area. Fortunately, Adams rushed to the penalty area at the last minute, ready to defend Daniel. Daniel's speed has slowed down...Winterburn has also entered his own side Restricted area, prepare to defend!"

After Daniel reached the penalty area line, he slowed down facing Adams.Although Daniel is conceited, facing Adams in such a small space, he is really not sure how to get rid of it.Adams didn't rush out either, and stepped back while tightly protecting the penalty area.

"Daniel, slow down...Daniel! Pass it, Daniel pass it...it's a really nice pass, the middle...Robbie Keane! Empty goal! Empty goal!" Martin Taylor from Daniel He started to run with the ball, but he didn't listen, and started explaining suddenly.

Daniel made a false appearance of breaking through, and then passed the ball across the penalty area.This shook all Arsenal's defensive sights, including Adams and Seaman.Seaman's attention was on Daniel, and this pass made Arsenal's goal immediately open.

Winterburn, who had just returned to defense, hadn't fully found a defensive position. Robbie Keane faced this situation very simply.With just a slight push, the ball slowly rolled into the Arsenal goal.
