Chapter 112 Angel or Devil

"Beep beep——" As the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, all the Burnley fans at Wembley Stadium were already happy and didn't know what to say.

They kept singing, dancing, shouting, and cheering, and many people's voices couldn't bear it anymore.But they were happy. The 2 Burnley fans completely overwhelmed the 6 Arsenal fans.

Just as Burnley beat Arsenal on the field, Burnley fans don't lose to Arsenal fans.

Although Arsenal fans are gentle, it does not mean that their fans are not enthusiastic.Their fans will also cheer, shout, and cheer, but Arsenal's performance on the field let them down.Conceding a goal can be said to be negligent at Arsenal, but conceding another goal is not a matter of negligence.

The Burnley players are all elated, because they are so happy.What a game it is, it's an FA Cup final.Now Burnley is two goals ahead of Arsenal. With such a big advantage, Burnley players firmly believe that the FA Cup championship must belong to them.

George was also very happy on the court. Before the game, George never thought that this game would go like this.Although George's detailed layout of the game's tactics before the game is to make Arsenal slowly despise Burnley.Arsenal's defensive line moved forward so that Burnley could have a chance to counterattack.

If Arsenal's defense does not move forward, with their strength and experience, it will be very difficult for Burnley to find opportunities.But once they move forward, their disadvantages will become apparent.It is the five veterans of the defense who are well-known in English football. They all have a common weakness.It's just that they are too old now, their explosive power is not enough, and their physical functions can't keep up.Although relying on their excellent defensive awareness and tacit cooperation, they are still the best defender combination in England.

But what they are most afraid of is being counterattacked by speed players. This is George's tactic in the first half.

"The Burnley players are all smiling now. They really performed very well in the first half. Two beautiful counterattacks caught Arsenal off guard. With a two-goal lead, I don't know how Arsenal will respond."

"No one thought that Burnley would lead by two goals in the first half. It is definitely not easy for Arsenal to equalize the score or even overtake the score. Burnley's favorite thing is to defend and counterattack when they are leading. ...Arsenal are in trouble."

"Looking forward to a more exciting second half, see you in 15 minutes."

…………

George didn't say anything else during the intermission.In the locker room, I just praised everyone, and then let the players continue to defend tightly in the second half.As long as Arsenal's offense is prevented, the game will be won.If there is another chance, counterattack and score another goal, then the victory can be completely sealed.

Burnley players are full of confidence. Arsenal did not find any offensive points in the 45 minutes of the first half.Now that Burnley are two goals ahead, they don't believe that Arsenal can equalize.

Wenger did not make a substitution in the second half, but George saw the difference just after the start of the second half.That is, Vieira participated more in the offense, leaving only Pettit behind.Although Vieira's offensive strength is limited, such a tall man cannot be ignored at the front of the penalty area.

The most important thing is that unlike some other midfielders, Vieira's skills are quite good.With long legs, Ballack is definitely not an opponent if he plays some small skills.And because of his strong body, he can stand there without being afraid of collisions.

The front three, Ian Wright, Overmars, and Parlor, increased their running.Moreover, more football is passed between Vieira and Bergkamp, ​​and the speed of football transmission has also increased a lot.

However, George has not arranged other things for these, because even if they run frequently, as long as the Burnley players stand still and are not confused by their running, the effect will be the same.

Their football kept passing outside the penalty area, but unfortunately they didn't find a good chance to score.

Bergkamp was observing Burnley's defense while running, and Burnley's defense was indeed impeccable.But Bergkamp doesn't believe that there is an absolutely flawless defense in this world, but he hasn't found it yet.

Bergkamp spent two years in Italy before coming to Arsenal.Although two years in Italy, Bergkamp's career was gloomy.But in Italy Bergkamp has seen the best defense in the world, so Bergkamp never thinks that the two years in Italy are a failure.He believes that he has learned a lot of different things during the two years in Italy.

Bergkamp was always watching, always looking for holes in Burnley's defence.

8 minutes, 10 minutes have passed since the start of the second half.Arsenal has never been able to find a gap in Burnley's defense. Although they passed the ball frequently, they did not tear apart Burnley's defense.The ball passed in was not easily broken, but pushed out.

However, because Burnley's counterattack was not strong enough, the periphery has always been controlled by Arsenal.After receiving the ball, Vieira sent it directly to Bergkamp's feet again.This has almost become a fixed pattern of Arsenal's attack.

Vieira gets the ball and gives it to Bergkamp.After Bergkamp gets the ball, he will either hand it to the left or the right according to the situation on the field.

Bergkamp watched Vieira's pass and leaned on Neil Lennon behind him.Neil Lennon was like a follower, following him closely throughout the game.Bergkamp didn't look behind at all and didn't stop the ball as usual.Instead, he looked at the incoming ball and bent slightly with his instep. The ball passed by Vieira actually turned the original route and went straight in from Bergkamp's left side.

"Vieira passed the ball... Bergkamp, ​​wow!!! Bergkamp passed Neil Lennon behind, between Mitchell and Gary Breen...I En Wright got the ball and shot!!!"

"Goal, beautiful! I have no words to describe this ball! Only Bergkamp can pass such a wonderful ball!"

"Bergkamp didn't look behind at all. He was able to pass such an imaginative ball just by changing his ankle. Only Bergkamp has such an imagination."

Bergkamp's pass from the outside of the penalty area is so light.So imaginative, just relying on the change of the ankle, it made Neil Lennon, Mitchell, and Gary Breen behind all dazzle.I didn't see how the ball came in at all, but Ian Wright ran to that position very tacitly.

The biggest advantage of Ian Wright as a player is that he never procrastinates when shooting. Decisiveness is the biggest advantage.Jasz Kleining didn't react at all, the ball was already in the goal.

Seeing Bergkamp pass so imaginatively, both Martin Taylor and Andy Gray couldn't help but praise.They forgot that it was Ian Wright who scored and focused all the praise on Bergkamp.George, who saw this scene on the field, couldn't help applauding, this is Bergkamp, ​​the ice prince.

There is a saying in the future that if you want to watch artistic football, you have two choices, either go to the Bernabeu to watch Zidane's performance, or go to Highbury to watch Bergkamp's dance.

"Although so far, the game is very boring. But just a few highlights are enough for us to remember this game. We can see Daniel's surprise attack and Bergkamp's quick pass, This FA Cup final is already very worthwhile." Martin Taylor is already completely refreshed, this kind of magical pass, even in the Premier League, can be seen several times a season.Even in the major European leagues, there are not many to be found.

"This goal is the most beautiful goal even in the history of the FA Cup. Such a beautiful goal is really rare. Bergkamp's football is no longer playing football, but dancing on the court. "Andy Gray also sincerely appreciates Bergkamp.

Not only the two commentators, but also the director played Bergkamp's pass again and again.The fans present watched Bergkamp's beautiful dance on the big screen over and over again, in addition to admiration or admiration.

In the full 59 minutes, Arsenal scored a goal from Ian Wright receiving a pass from Bergkamp.The score became two to one.
