Jagged Wings

Chapter 158 Victory!

The head coach of CSKA Moscow is very helpless. He knows that Arsenal's offense is very strong, and it will be a matter of time before they lose the ball.But as far as he is concerned, he still wants to try to move the conceded goal to a later date, so that CSKA can drag out a more ideal score...

Who knows that the opponent scored in the second half and the beginning, how do you let CSKA live in the second half?
he does not know!

The lineup is not superior, the strength is not superior, and the mentality is not superior, what else should I do?
CSKA Moscow and Arsenal are really not on the same level...

But are you going to throw in the towel?
No, it's just a draw now, the two sides just returned to the original balance, they haven't lost yet!Thinking of this, the head coach of CSKA Moscow walked to the sidelines and yelled at some stunned players: "Don't panic! Let's continue to defend and counterattack!!"

Defensive counterattack is the only thing CSKA Moscow can do at present. The head coach of CSKA Moscow knows that Arsenal is an offensive team. They can't defend and rarely defend -- Arsenal's football is Attacking football!

Sure enough, after the game restarted, the morale of the Arsenal team was boosted, and they launched wave after wave of attacks towards CSKA Moscow's penalty area. During this time, all CSKA Moscow players shrank back and defended the goal.They knew that Arsenal had just scored a goal and their morale was high. At this time, they had to defend. As long as they could defend, they would be able to weaken their edge.

Facing dense defense is a worldwide problem. Arsenal has nothing to do with such a defense, they can only slow down the pace and pull the opponent's formation out.Although it is 1:1 now, Arsenal want three points!
Arsenal stepped back unhurriedly. They have a lot of experience in the face of dense defense, so their mentality is also very calm.Not only Reyes, but even defenders Toure and Gallas have pretty good footwork.Seeing the CSKA Moscow players staying in the backcourt obediently, Toure and Gallas even played the "stunt" of picking the ball and heading the ball one by one, which was obviously hitting each other in the face!
The home fans burst into boos!
The faces of the CSKA Moscow players were on fire. Although they were determined to defend, the ultimate goal was still utilitarian!Although the booing of the home fans was booing the Arsenal team playing with the ball, wouldn't it be booing their own home team?

CSKA Moscow is a giant in the country!Since when did this giant team start playing the game of shrinking their heads?Can't drop the price?

When Reyes passed the ball to Flamini again, CSKA Moscow finally saved.Starting from the striker, all the way to the midfield, all rushed up.However, CSKA Moscow still remembered to guard against Arsenal's attack, so none of the four defenders moved, and all stayed on the defense line obediently.

The opponents came up, which is a good thing for Arsenal, because there are more spaces behind them.Of course, the opponent's opportunities will also increase.

In the 55th minute, CSKA Moscow launched an attack. The midfielder Ignashevich made a long pass from the backcourt. Gilberto beat Lowe in the header and then handed the ball to Fabregas.

Even if they don't pass the pre-match preparations, CSKA Moscow also knows that the core of Arsenal's organization is this young kid who looks very young.But they were very afraid of this kid, no matter where Cesc Fabregas went, there would always be someone following him.

Now this person is Dudu.

But Dudu's marking failed, Fabregas did not catch the ball, but missed the ball, and Henry who retreated received the ball.Henry was unable to turn around under the opponent's defense, but this did not hinder the King of Highbury's ultra-long vision. You must know that Henry's assists are also among the best in a season!

Henry sent a through pass with his back heel, Reyes received the ball, another defender rushed up to defend Reyes, but Reyes didn't stop the ball and knocked the ball into the middle, Torres in the middle also made a heel pass the ball.When Reyes received the ball again, there was no one around him!
At this time, there is only one goalkeeper left in front of Reyes, and Reyes calmly swings his legs and shoots near the small penalty area.

Akinfeev made a save, but the football slipped through his fingertips!
He looked back and saw the football hit the inside of the post and bounced into it...

Second goal!
"2:1! Arsenal in the away game overtook it!"

"In 10 minutes, Arsenal went from falling behind to equalizing and overtaking in just 10 minutes in the second half!"

"Reyes! It's still Reyes! He is the brightest star tonight! He assisted the first goal and scored the second goal!"

Arsenal scored two goals in a row within 10 minutes, knocking out CSKA Moscow's temper completely. These two goals were like a torrential rain, extinguishing the fighting spirit that CSKA Moscow had just ignited.

Even worse than these two conceded goals, the CSKA Moscow players found that the goddess of luck was on Arsenal's side in the second half.In the first half, Arsenal couldn't score no matter how they shot. In the second half, they were completely down. No matter how Arsenal played, they scored two goals in three shots!

Could it be that they seduced Lady Luck during the intermission?
It's not important to be behind, but falling behind so quickly and so hard to hide, really disrupted their confidence!
After the game restarted, although CSKA's confidence had flown away with the goddess of luck, it didn't mean that they were willing to be slaughtered-anyway, two goals behind was a loss, and one goal behind was also a loss. Since they all lost, why? If you don't press out and attack, maybe you can create a miracle?

Although it is behind now, it is only one goal behind.On the football field, a one-goal lead is always a score that cannot be reassuring!

If we score one more, wouldn't that equalize again?How about two?Thinking of this, CSKA gradually regained some enthusiasm, but Arsenal quickly snuffed out the confidence they had just ignited in the cradle!Arsenal let CSKA Moscow understand again that no one will lack fighting spirit!

In the 63rd minute, Arsenal once again formed a threatening offensive!This time it was Hleb on the right after he broke into the cross from the wing. He and Cesc Fabregas in the middle had two in a row, and suddenly cut in to the middle to shoot. The football was thrown by Akinfeev in embarrassment. After going out, Flamini rushed up and hit the anti-aircraft gun with an angry shot!
There was a loud gasp at the Luzhniki Stadium, the same gasp repeated countless times in the first half.This time goalkeeper Akinfeev has surrendered. If it wasn't for Flamini's poor shooting skills as a defensive player, I'm afraid they would have fallen behind by three goals!

However, Arsenal's defense is really not as good as their offense. A mediocre player who only represents the reserves.

So the second conceded goal followed...

CSKA's left midfielder Zelokov faced Arsenal's defense on the right and struggled to protect the football. When the right back Torre stepped forward to steal the ball, he did not expect Zeloko, who had been mediocre throughout the game Daniel Carvalho catches the ball behind Arsenal's left-back and sends it in. The ball flies in front of the goal. Lowe leaps high and beats Gallas. Header!
Lehmann was beyond his reach, and the football flew straight into the goal. This was Lowe's first Champions League goal!
Lowe was very happy after the goal, this goal is so precious!This is not just a goal to tie the game, but also a goal against a European giant like Arsenal!
The most important thing is that this ball rekindled hope for CSKA Moscow!After Lowe's goal, the CSKA Moscow fans in the stands finally let out their cheers.They have been silent for too long in the second half of the game, almost making people forget that this is CSKA Moscow's home court.

After the goal, the CSKA Moscow players were very excited. They surrounded Lowe who scored the goal and ran to the bottom of their fans' stands to celebrate the goal with them!
On the other side, the Arsenal players were a little surprised: the goal was conceded beyond their imagination. They didn't expect that they, who dominated the game, would waste all their previous efforts with just one defensive error. There is running water!On the other side of the field, CSKA Moscow, which equalized the score, saw the hope of another reversal. They stood on the field, looking eager to try, and planned to continue their offensive after the game resumed.

The game resumed and Torres passed the ball to Fabregas for the third time in the game.The CSKA Moscow players were like bulls in heat, rushing out screaming one by one!

Lowe and Carvalho even went directly to Fabregas. Fabregas was full of confidence and dodged Lowe with a dunk. Then he used his body to resist Carvalho and passed the ball to Torres in front. , Torres did not stop, and immediately gave the ball to Reyes!

CSKA Moskva's right-midfielder Lamic pressed close to Reyes, forcing Reyes to have the ball with his back.The right back Aldonin, who was not far behind the two, was also full of passion and wanted to break the football.So Aldonin, who had been shrinking back before, suddenly rushed up, trying to quickly break Reyes' ball.

Seeing his partner Aldonin coming up, Ramic gave way slightly to make room for his teammates to steal the ball.

But just as Aldonin stretched out his foot, Reyes seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He hooked the football on the outside with his right foot, and the ball hit the left foot as the supporting foot and changed. The line rolled behind Aldonin.

And Reyes took advantage of the moment when both sides were stunned, turned around quickly with his left foot, and got between Aldonin and Ramich!

The goal is exactly the same as CSKA Moscow's extraordinary, the difference is that the opponent has a striker in front of him, and Reyeszes only solved the battle alone!
Reyes, who passed two people at once, didn't stop. He was still a little far from the penalty area. If he rushed to the front, the opponent's defensive player might be in place.So he didn't hesitate any longer, and just kicked it straight!
When the entire defense line of CSKA Moscow was looking at Reyes, Henry suddenly started, slanting from the crowd to the left of the penalty area, then he raised his foot sideways, and gently used the outside of the football flying from behind. As soon as it was unloaded, the football obediently stuck to the ground.

When he parked the football on the ground, the CSKA Moscow players raised their arms to signal him to be offside!

Henry ignored them, he moved the ball forward, and went to meet the attacking goalkeeper Akinfeev.

"Henry receives the ball! A through ball from Reyes! The CSKA Moscow player signaled him offside...but the referee Gonzalez said nothing!"

Akinfeev chose to attack as soon as Henry received the ball, and then he saw Henry suddenly kicked and shot after taking two steps. He was caught off guard!It was too late for Akinfeev to make any moves, so he could only sink his body weight, hoping to block the shot with his legs together.

However, the distance of Henry's shot was too short after all, and the speed at which Akinfeev lowered his center of gravity was still not as fast as the speed of the football sticking to the ground, and the football went between his legs!

Wear crotch!

Akinfeev looked back to see the football in the goal, and then heard the shouts of the visiting fans!Akinfeev jumped up from the ground with his arms raised high, and signaled to the referee that the opponent was offside, but he did not see the linesman raising the flag...

The CSKA Moscow players quit. They ran to the referee Gonzalez and complained to him that Henry must have been offside before scoring.

The referee answered him with a shake of his head.

"Not offside! Not offside! Henry is not offside! Great goal, beautiful!" The commentator became excited again, "Arsenal just got equalized, so they took advantage of this kick-off to overtake the score again!"

"Let's watch it in slow motion... It's not offside, Reyes passed the ball before Henry passed the last CSKA Moscow defender! The referee saw it right, the ball was no problem!"

"Reyes' timing of passing on the wing was very accurate, and he swayed two people away with one move! The passing route was also well grasped, this is the most comfortable area for Henry to hold the ball!
Henry ran across the field with his arms open, then slid and flew to the corner flag!Together with other teammates, Reyes ran towards Henry who scored the goal, and they hugged tightly!
After conceding this goal, CSKA Moscow completely lost hope of winning the game. Although there were more than 20 minutes before the end of the game, they no longer posed any threat to Arsenal's goal.

And Arsenal made substitutions, Rosicky replaced Reyes, teenager Walcott replaced Hleb, Adebayor replaced Henry, the schedule is so dense, it is time for the bench players to play a role!

The performance of the substitute players is also remarkable.In the 79th minute, Walcott, who came off the bench, took advantage of his speed and made a cross from the right side of the penalty area. Sabellas blocked the football to Torres' feet. The Spanish golden boy shot with his right foot from seven meters away. Kinfeev saves across the body!

In the 86th minute, Cesc Fabregas stole the ball and handed it to Rosicky. Rosicky broke out and made a low pass from the right side of the penalty area. Adebayor made a low shot in the penalty area, but the Spanish referee Gon Zares punished Henry for a handball foul in the penalty area, the goal was invalid, and the Togolese was also given a yellow card.

Then the game entered 3 minutes stoppage time.

CSKA Moscow also had a golden opportunity, but Lowe received Zelkov's goal and was ruled offside by the referee. The Brazilian who expressed his dissatisfaction was also shown a yellow card by the opponent.Then the two sides made no further achievements, and the 3-minute stoppage time ended, and the referee also blew the whistle for the end of the game.

"The game is over! Arsenal have won an ups and downs in the away game!"
