Chapter 46 Who and Ups and Downs (2)

The first half of the game came to the 37th minute. The scene at this time was a little easier than before. The Southampton players wasted a lot of physical energy because of the large amount of running and pressing just now.Just now, Chen Zhun also saw that some players could no longer run.Chen Zhun also fully thought of this before the game, so he instructed the players to compress their defense and save energy.

At this time, the Arsenal team can be regarded as truly taking the initiative on the field, and began to fight a positional battle in Southampton's half.

In the 39th minute, Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas dribbled the ball in the midfield. Vardy stepped forward to interfere. Fabregas did not dare to be careless and passed the ball to the captain Vieira who was protecting him next to him.Vieira glanced at the penalty area, but the ball was passed to the feet of Ashley Cole, who was quietly inserted, because the players of the Southampton team were all focused on the center just now, and the defense on the side for a while There was a vacuum, which also led to Ashley Cole taking the ball easily and completing the cross without interference.

When Chen Zhun saw this biography on the sidelines, his heart skipped a beat.I thought to myself, "It's broken! One hundred secrets and one sparse!".

Martin Taylor's voice sounded: "Ashley Cole's cross flew low and fast into the penalty area. Klaus Lundekwan from the front point did not touch the ball. The ball came with a strong spin. The penalty area, Henry has already killed in the penalty area, he raised his foot to shoot, defending his Southampton player Michael Svensson tried to interfere with Henry's shot. But Henry still reached the ball and the ball flew towards the goal after Henry's touch Bottom right corner! This goal is going in!!"

Chen Zhun didn't dare to breathe, for fear that he might miss something.Wenger has also sat up from his seat, waiting for a certain moment.All the fans are watching the moment when the ball enters the goal.

Southampton's goalkeeper, Niemi, would not agree. That was the gate he was guarding, so how could it be easily broken through.Niemi reacted quickly in the middle of the goal. He moved a step to his left, then quickly lowered his center of gravity and threw his body towards the lower left corner of the goal. He concentrated all the strength of his body on his left arm, and threw the ball over the baseline with all his strength.

Chen Zhun's heart hanging in his throat can land safely.The crisis is temporarily lifted.He is now looking forward to the end of the first half soon.

Arsenal's corner kick was taken, and the first point was pushed out by Lund Kwan. Delap was on the penalty area line and was about to clear with a big foot. He saw Vardy in front and ran forward. Delap watched the ball go towards the goal He flew, and when the ball was within range of his swing, Delap did it without hesitation.The ball began to leap forward into the air hard again.

Wenger saw Delap kicking the ball forward with a big foot, which was looking for an opportunity to counterattack.Wenger hurriedly yelled loudly for Arsenal's players to pay a return visit.Now Arsenal only have Sigam and Lauren in the half.Next to them is Vardy.

Vardy saw the ball in the sky flying towards his direction. Vardy got the ball by virtue of his speed and rushed forward.He saw Xigan and Lauren waiting for an opportunity on both sides of him, preparing to encircle and grab the ball. Suddenly, the teenager panicked and didn't know what to do next.Suddenly, he heard David Winston's voice on the sidelines.

"Speed! Breakthrough!"

Vardy instantly understood that his biggest advantage on the court was speed.Sigan and Lauren's press is getting closer and closer. Suddenly, Vardy kicks the ball from between Sigan and Lauren. Sigan and Lauren prepare to block Vardy with a double ghost shot to completely solve this time. Southampton's counterattack.But after all, they were one step behind Vardy's speed. Vardy relied on his own speed and body to rush between the two bodies abruptly, causing both Lauren and Xigan to fall to the ground.

"Oh! Jamie Vardy!! Boy like the wind! He slipped between two Arsenal defenders and regained possession. Jamie Vardy is only one step away from conquering this pitch Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann."

After Jamie Vardy managed to get past the two Arsenal defenders on the pitch, he glanced back to see that no players were chasing him, and he was now facing only goalkeeper Lehmann.At this time, he was in the stadium, but he couldn't feel a single sound in the stadium, as if he could only hear his rapid breathing.

Vardy said silently in his heart: "Steady, steady, I want to score, I want to score."

Vardy continued to run forward with this strong belief, and his opposite Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann was thinking about how to attack.

"Jamie Vardy is fast and he has no intention of slowing down. Jamie Vardy has broken into the penalty area! The Arsenal goalkeeper chooses to attack, but his attack is a little slow, Jens Lehmann opens wide Jamie Vardy with both hands, trying to get the ball back from Jamie Vardy's feet. Jamie Vardy is going to shoot!! Jens Lehmann scrambles sideways to make a save, oh! It's Jamie Vardy He successfully knocked Jens Lehmann down with a feint, he stopped on his toes when he was about to shoot and then chose to dribble the ball laterally. After Jamie Vardy shook Jens Lehmann, he pushed the empty goal !!Goal!! The goal is scored!! Jamie Vardy!! A perfect Premier League debut! This is Jamie Vardy's first goal in the Premier League. I seem to see the hope of England's future striker! David - Winston's surprise attack! Southampton leads Arsenal 1-0 away."

After scoring the goal, Vardy looked extremely excited, and ran wildly on the field while kissing the Southampton team badge.Chen Zhun on the sidelines and the fans who followed were also very excited. They raised their arms and shouted at the same time after seeing Vardy's goal. Southampton was one step closer to victory.At that moment, Highbury Stadium only heard the voice of Southampton, which seemed harsh and displeased in the hearts of Arsenal fans. In the past 5 minutes, all the fans experienced a roller coaster of emotions, but some people were happy and some were worried.

Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger looked serious and ugly when he saw such a goal loss. He looked at the lonely eyes of the disciples on the field, and now he can't wait for the first half of the game to end.Because in the first half, Arsenal lost their original things under the tight pressure of Southampton. If this continues, then the expectation of Arsenal's capsize in the gutter will become a reality.

In the remaining minutes of the first half, Arsenal did not form another effective attack.Arsenal also returned to the dressing room with a 0-1 deficit.

Martin Taylor reviewed the first half of the game and said: "In terms of personnel adjustments, coach David Winston is undoubtedly a magical adjustment. Compared with Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger's central adjustment, it seems that in the first half of the game It seemed lackluster. The teenager Francisco Fabregas did not play the responsibility of regulating the attack in the middle. Instead, he became the player with the most tackles in the first half of Arsenal. Take a break, let's continue to watch the second half of the two teams Contest."
