football redemption

Chapter 76

Xiaqi broke through Toure with two consecutive spikes.

After the breakthrough, Shaqi chose to push the corner. Almunia was very brave, and once again threw the football and pressed it in his arms.

The fans enthusiastically called Almunia's name and clapped red palms to give him applause. He is Arsenal's best player so far tonight.

With the encouragement of the home fans, Arsenal regained the rhythm of the game and once again launched an offensive towards Inter Milan's goal. The two sides began to attack and defend each other.

No.30 In two minutes, Arsenal almost scored the first goal.

Fabregas, Arshavin, and Adebayor made a wonderful connection.

Fabregas accurately passed the ball to Arshavin, who was full of imagination, turned slightly sideways without turning around, and knocked the football into the penalty area with his heel. This kick was beyond the expectations of the defensive players.

Adebayor quickly broke through the penalty area, penetrated the entire Inter Milan defense line in an instant, and then faced the attacking goalkeeper Cesar single-handedly, but his last kick was too easy to handle, and the football went wide of the goal.

Fans at the Emirates Stadium rose to their feet and cheered when he burst into the penalty area, ready to enjoy the goal.

Unexpectedly, Adeba dated a kick to push the ball away, and the cheers turned into a huge sigh.Adebayor also put his head in his hands in annoyance.

In the first half, both sides had chances but neither scored. It may be due to the drizzle that the players were not excited enough.

It is also possible that the head coaches of both sides have closely marked the opponent's players, making them unable to comfortably hold the ball.
It is also possible that the defensive players on both sides are veterans on the battlefield, and there are still many small moves in defense, which makes the offensive players miserable.

In short, the two sides are playing lively, and they are all busy!

As the end of the first half of the game approached, the two sides invariably accelerated the rhythm of offensive and defensive transitions.

You come and fight back and forth, but there is no result.

Soon after, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

Inter Milan temporarily drew 0:0 with Arsenal in the away game.

During the intermission, football commentators from various channels expressed their arguments one after another.

Some people think that Arsenal was not blown away by the vigorous Inter Milan, and instead of playing each other back and forth, this is worthy of recognition and praise.

Some people think that Arsenal did not make good use of the home court advantage and did not play the characteristics of their own team, so it will be difficult to advance.

Compared with Arsenal, the excellent record in Serie A, and the performances of Manchester United and Porto in the Champions League knockout rounds have made commentators from all over the world optimistic about Inter Milan.

The multi-national commentator said with a smile: I look forward to a battle in the Forbidden City between Messi and Quaresma, who is ranked first in this year's Ballon d'Or!
However, in the locker room of the home team, Wenger wanted to overturn the feast of the Forbidden City.

He tactfully criticized the performance of the players, but did not make any adjustments to tactics.In his view, there is nothing wrong with his tactics, the key is the execution ability of the players.

"This is the UEFA Champions League. Your opponent is the champion of Serie A last season and leads Serie A this season! What kind of team is this? I don't think I need to emphasize it again and again.

We had to give it our all, our defense gave them too many chances in the first half.And our frontcourt wasn't excited enough.

Robin (Van Persie), Andre (Arshavin) played too little role in the first half, you should be more excited! "

Then Wenger asked the whole team to strengthen the defensive strength against Cambiasso and Quaresma. As long as the two are restricted, Inter Milan will be choked.

At the same time, on the other side, Mourinho was saying to Shaggy: "Ricciardo, you shot well at the beginning of the first half and continued to do so in the second half. I don't think the rain will stop for a while. Do you know what to do?"

Xia Qi nodded, rainy day is indeed a good weather for shooting long shots!
The rain was still falling as the second half started and it showed no signs of letting up anytime soon.

All players switched to spikes at half-time to ensure grip during high-speed movements.

After Shaqi came on the court, he thought about how long Mourinho wanted him to shoot. He looked down at the grass, and then took a step hard to feel the wetness of the court, which was still within the acceptable range.

To be honest, this kind of light rain is more likely to cause players to slip on the court than a downpour.

The game starts, kick-off by Inter Milan.

After a few kicks, the football quickly reached Xia Qi's feet.

Van Persie changed his non-defensive attitude in the first half and rushed over to make a steal. Xiaqi didn't bother with him and passed the football to Zanetti next to him, and then ran to avoid Van Persie.

Van Persie did not continue to force him, but ran towards Zanetti who had the ball under his feet. Seeing that he was so aggressive, Zanetti naturally passed the football back to Shaqi.

Taking advantage of this time, the formations of both sides were torn apart.

Inter Milan's forwards and full-backs rushed forward, and Arsenal's players pressed out one after another.

The two sides played 0:0 in the first half, and both sides were not satisfied with the score, so the kick-off in the second half was not as conservative as in the first half, but actively fought and planned to attack, hoping to score first.

Shaggy received Zanetti's pass and immediately rushed forward at full speed. Walcott wanted to defend Shaggy, but the area Shaggy walked this time was not his defensive area.

It was Cesc Fabregas who was defending Shaqi, and the first confrontation between the two rising stars drew warm cheers from the fans.

Shaqi dare not take it lightly, although the defense is the short board of Fabregas.

Xia Qi first made a fake move to pass the ball to the side. This fake move was very realistic, and Xia Qi's whole body turned to the side.

Fabregas thought to himself: As long as it is not a pass, if you want to continue to break through with the ball, you can only go to the side, so he judges that Shaqi's action is true.

So Cesc Fabregas leaned forward with confidence and boldness, on the one hand blocked Shaqi's passing route, and on the other hand was ready to grab the ball.

After seeing Fabregas coming up, Shaqi leaned back and put his right leg out. Is this about to pass the ball?

Fabregas first judged that Shaqi didn't want to break through and wanted to pass the ball.

At the same time, he saw clearly that Xia Qi's right leg was raised, and the football was temporarily out of his control. At the same time, his other foot was supporting his body, and he couldn't move at all. It was impossible to protect the football. This was a great opportunity to steal the ball.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he started, he saw Xia Qi's raised leg quickly retracted, knocking the football back from the back of his supporting foot.

Immediately after Xia Qi knocked the football, he quickly changed his center of gravity and re-adjusted his direction. This time he returned to the middle!

"Wow! Cruyff turn around!" Thomas exclaimed excitedly, it was a turn of events, just when everyone thought that Quaresma would and Cesc Fabregas would be hard-pressed on the wing.

Shaggy engineered an unexpected Cruyff turn, snapped away from Cesc Fabregas, and slammed the ball out towards the penalty arc.

Cesc Fabregas jumped into the air, turned his head and glared at Xia Qi's leaving back, this is a trap, although Xia Qi's escape was beautiful and full of imagination, but the background wall is him, how does this make him not angry?
Walcott was very excited, he felt that his chance had come.

"Ricciardo is rushing forward with the ball now!" Thomas shouted excitedly.

Fans from both sides in the stands were also noisy.The Arsenal fans were yelling: "Defend! Defend!" "Stop him! Stop him!"

The Inter Milan fans waved their fists and wished they could play for Xia Qi in person. They shouted: "Come on! Hurry up! Hurry up!"

In fact, Xia Qi is already very fast, nearly ten meters per second, but Inter Milan fans still think he is slow.

At the beginning of the second half, Shaqi used Cruyff to turn around and penetrate Arsenal's defense, and went straight into the Arsenal penalty area, igniting the Emirates Stadium. The drizzle could not quench the enthusiasm of the fans at this moment.

Walcott slashed at me and immediately stopped the little tiger in front of Xia Qi.

Xia Qi wanted to continue to excel, but it turned out that this little tiger's defense was a show, and he ignored his head!
Balotelli happily waved behind the little tiger. Shaki flicked the football with the outside of his foot very covertly while running, and the football easily penetrated the little tiger and fell to Balotelli's feet.

Walcott was busy intercepting Shaqi, but missed Balotelli next to him. Fortunately, there was central defender Toure behind him to wipe his ass.

Toure is very experienced. He held Balotelli tightly to prevent him from turning around easily. If the two of them were close, they could hear the friction and collision of their muscles.

Walcott looked back and saw that Balotelli was blocked, of course he wanted to pinch him back and forth.

If Balotelli doesn't have a fever in his head, his golf quotient is still quite high. Seeing that Walcott didn't talk about martial arts and wanted two-on-one, he immediately passed the football to Shaqi.

The football passed Walcott just like that, and the sad thing was that Walcott had just changed his center of gravity, and it was too late to make another move, and he himself didn't want to just watch and couldn't do anything, so he stretched his legs reluctantly.

When he stretched his legs, the slippery lawn made him cross his legs, which made people feel painful.

"Two to one! Beautiful!" Balotelli's knockback inadvertently cooperated with Xia Qi in a two to one. At this time, Xia Qi of course seized the opportunity when the little tiger fell to the ground and continued to rush forward.

On the other side, Balotelli was very clever. He did not enter the restricted area with Xia Qi on the left and right, but took a step back. He did not leave the restricted area and was near the horizontal line of the restricted area. He set up the fort and waited for the shells to arrive.

Although Balotelli later became a second-rate star, he actually has the potential to be a seven-star player. He was once the star of hope in Italy when his head was not in the hole.

Shaqi rushed into the penalty area, Toure and Sania had to block him, this was a conspiracy, and Almunia could only focus on Shaqi for the time being, but he still roughly judged from the corner of his eye that if Balotelli would hit a long-range shot.

This is a must for an excellent goalkeeper to see all directions and listen to all directions.

What happened on the football field is not because there are too many reversals in the plot of the movie. In fact, there are many things on the field that can be speculated.

Shaqi either single-handedly, or pass the ball to Balotelli, in the case of Balotelli unguarded, Shaqi of course chooses to pass the ball.

Balotelli is also a bold man with high skills. He didn't stop the ball, and he didn't even round his thigh to kick the football.

Are you stupid or not!
In Bashen's heart, the distance of only 16 meters is not worth it when he rounds his thighs and shoots vigorously. He doesn't want to shoot violently, but also wants to shoot suddenly and covertly.

The problem is that Xia Qi only has two choices, who knows that he is the other choice except Bashen himself?
No one was surprised that Shaqi gave Balotelli the ball. Long-range and short-range shots. Arsenal chose to defend short-range shots, but it does not mean that they completely ignored Balotelli's long-range shots.

Except for Balotelli himself who thinks he is very secretive and intelligent, in fact everyone knows that he will be another firepower for Inter Milan, even the fans at the scene know it.

At this time, the one with a normal head must be BATIGOL!UI!If you can push a tricky shot, it is fine, but if the angle is not tricky, it is not the best choice.

Sometimes things on the football field cannot be logically reasoned, so there is a saying that football is round.

If Balotelli's violent shot is due to swinging his thigh, then his angle may be straight to the far corner and there is a high probability that it will be a high ball.

He is now shooting with his calf. Football is a ground ball. In order to pursue concealment, the calf is small, so the angle of football pushing and shooting will not be so tricky.

Toure must have also noticed Balotelli, but at that time Shaggy was more dangerous, so when Balotelli shot, Toure could still stretch his leg to block it in time, just because the center of gravity was on Shaggy's side, and the leg that blocked the ball couldn't use its strength.

However, something unspeakable on the football field happened.All kinds of reasons came together, and the football was refracted in Toure, but it did not deviate from the goal and was still within the goal frame.

When Balotelli shot, Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia made a judgment in his heart, and he decisively rushed to the football landing point, and he was more than [-]% sure that he could catch the football.

But football had a refraction!His save became a joke.

Almunia and Toure both watched the football rub against the post and hit the side net!

"Goooooooooal!"

0:1!Balotelli takes the lead!
Such a tricky angle, even if Almunia counts the refraction, there is nothing he can do. On the football field, it is often seen that defenders grab the striker's job and score goals that make the striker ashamed.

Toure knelt down on the lawn and slammed his fists on the ground. Almunia got up from the ground and kicked the disobedient football viciously.

There is nothing more depressing than an own goal.

Although the referee did not count the goal as Toure's goal, such a conceded goal still hurt people's fighting spirit. The Arsenal players stood there in a daze.

There is a great emperor from a fighting nation, he is another, the blood of the fighting nation has never been mobilized for fighting.

He bit his lip lightly, looking at the Inter Milan generals who were celebrating the goal at the corner flag, his eyes were blazing with fire.

I managed to get to a big city from a small remote village, and you guys carnivaled in front of me, not treating me like a tsar at all.

The emperor was very angry, and the consequences were serious!
