This teenager is a bit aggressive

Chapter 116 Leading
In the 18th minute of the game, Arsenal made a mistake, and Fabregas' pass to Hleb was intercepted by Deco.

Without a word, Deco handed the ball directly to Ronaldinho.

Ronaldinho broke through with the ball in the middle and drove straight in. Defenders Toure and Campbell did not dare to attack rashly. It was not until Ronaldinho brought the ball to the front of the penalty area that Toure stepped forward to defend.

Because the front of the penalty area has reached the striker's shooting range, the further forward, the greater the threat of shooting, if he doesn't step forward to block it, Ronaldinho will definitely shoot with his bow.

Toure went up and naturally lost his defensive position.

Who is Ronaldinho, a person with outstanding ability to read the game and pass a good pass. Toure's grab is equivalent to surrendering the position at the front of the penalty area in the middle.

Ronaldinho decisively sent the pass, Lehmann saw this and attacked decisively.

The so-called success is also an advantage, and failure is also an advantage. This time, Lehman was ruined on top of his advantages.

Everyone in football knows that Lehmann is a goalkeeper with a relatively large defensive range, which is his advantage.

Lehmann especially likes to attack. However, this time Lehman is not calm enough and his decision is not wise enough. There is a big problem with Lehmann's attack.

Seeing that the goal was about to fall, Lehmann could only step down to block Eto'o's shot, but he did not expect to bring Eto'o down.

The referee showed Lehmann a red card!
red card!

Wenger's head was buzzing, so were the heads of the Arsenal fans, and so were the heads of the Arsenal players.

Was it so easy to get a red card in the final?Is the referee blowing his whistle?Lehman's foul wasn't a dangerous move, but he tripped Eto'o, wouldn't it be enough to give a yellow card?
However, the referee believes that although Lehman's foul is not a dangerous move, but if Lehman does not block it, Eto'o is almost facing an empty goal, which can almost be regarded as a goal, so he did not hesitate. drew a red card.

The sudden change on the field made Arsenal fans feel a lot of chills. How should they play in the next 70 minutes? Does this mean that the winning rate will be halved or even halved again?

The fans began to hang their heads.

This is simply bad news for Wenger, he can only be forced to substitute.

In this game, the midfielder cannot lose, so Wenger can only take down Hleb and replace him with Almunia, the substitute goalkeeper.

Almunia stepped in and made his debut in the 18th minute. Arsenal were also forced to fight with ten men. For Arsenal, this is such bad news.

Even the commentator of the football game was sighing, saying that the final of the Arsenal team was probably more ominous than good.

Wenger has thought about many starting results, such as falling behind, or leading, or players being injured, etc. Wenger is ready.

It's just that I didn't expect that the result of this opening was a red card.

In previous games, facing this situation, Wenger was indeed prepared. The previous Arsenal team played in a 4-4-2 formation. If one person was sent off, under normal circumstances, Wenger would become 4-3. -2 formation, Ljungberg won, and then put Pires in the middle position.

However, this time is different. Wenger played in a 4-5-1 formation. After one person was sent off, Wenger could not play in a 4-3-2 formation. Even if he wanted to play, Pires was not there. Like Pires, he can play both left back and midfielder.

Therefore, after Wenger replaced Almunia and Hleb, Arsenal's fate became confusing.

After the referee sent off Lehmann, Barcelona won a free kick on the penalty area line.

The free kick of the Barcelona team is naturally taken by Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho is also an expert in free kicks. The location is great.

Ronaldinho took a free kick at the top of the arc and hit the goal directly, but unfortunately, the ball brushed the post and went out of the bottom line.

Fortunately, there was no goal, otherwise, Arsenal would have made things worse after Lehmann was sent off.

No one thought that in the 37th minute of the game, the ten-man Arsenal team actually scored a goal.

After Barcelona conceded the goal, Arsenal turned from defense to offense. Park Yisheng dribbled the ball past Deco's defense and knocked the ball at a 45-degree angle at the front of the penalty area to Aibuai who was going down the wing.

After Ebe got the ball, he singled out Van Bronckhorst, took the ball to the side, and prepared to make a pass from the bottom. However, the ball passed, but Van Bronckhorst stayed behind.

foul!

Arsenal win a free kick from the left wing near the corner flagpole.

Henry sent a free kick into the penalty area, Campbell jumped high and scored with a header. Arsenal broke the deadlock on the field and opened the scoring.

0:1
Arsenal are temporarily ahead.

The noise of Arsenal fans celebrating came from the Stade de France. Although there were only about one-third of the Arsenal fans in the entire stadium, the sound resounded throughout the Stade de France.

The fans suddenly became more optimistic about Arsenal's championship situation.

However, Wenger couldn't be happier. The first half hadn't finished yet, and Arsenal had another ten men to play. Moreover, the goal was not a goal in a sports game. On the scene, Barcelona still took the initiative, leading by one goal. Doesn't mean anything.

It is not known what direction the game will develop from. For the first time, Wenger felt that the Champions League trophy was so close to him, but so far away.

In stoppage time in the first half, Ronaldinho sent a straight pass to the defensive player at the front of the penalty area. Eto'o turned around and hit the goal with his left foot.

Eto'o's signature move is turning and shooting. His turning and shooting is not as bulky as Drogba and Ruud van Nistelrooy. His turning is more flexible and fast, making it difficult to defend.

Almunia stretched his hand to block, the ball hit the post and popped out, then Campbell cleared the ball, and just like that, the first half of the game was over.

To everyone's surprise, the ten-man Arsenal team ended the first half of the game with a score of 0:1.

Rijkaard was extremely dissatisfied with Barcelona's performance in the first half. This is not like the invincible team. This is not like a league champion team.

Facing a ten-man Arsenal team, Rijkaard felt a little embarrassed when he didn't lead the opponent, but was still one goal behind.

At the end of the half, he told all the Barcelona players to play aggressively, the team should not play in such a law-abiding manner, and create more scoring opportunities.

At the same time, we must maintain a normal mind. Don't think that Arsenal can take it lightly if they challenge with ten players. How can a team that can enter the Champions League final be an idler.

　Ask for a recommendation ticket for a new book!There is a small flaw here. Originally, Barcelona should be written as Barcelona, ​​and the sense of introduction will be stronger. However, I didn’t consider this issue before, and I have been writing about Barcelona. Laziness has been using Barcelona.
