King of Competition

Chapter 480 Offensive War 1

The English media has doubts about whether Manchester United can have a chance to win the championship, and Arsenal has nothing to do with winning the championship. They are working hard for next season's Champions League qualification.

Although head coach Wenger shows confidence in his appearance, Arsenal players are deeply worried about the team's current situation. In front of the media, Borgkamp shows his concern about the team with a rare "pessimistic attitude" of the Gunners.

Borgkamp claimed that he was not surprised by the current bad record, because he had expected this day. We are a very young team now, so we will definitely have a tough season.

In the opinion of the Dutchman, the new and old matches of the team are unreasonable, and their strength is naturally weaker than before.

In addition, Borgkamp also believes that the team's failure is not just a few games and dealing with the weakness of strong teams. On relatively weak opponents such as Bolton and Fulham, Arsenal has lost more. This season, Arsenal has lost the hope of winning the championship and can't even guarantee their qualification for the Champions Cup. This game is particularly important to their fighting spirit. Not to mention that the world's media are paying attention to it. Even if there is no media attention, Wenger will also pay attention to the game with Newcastle United. Failure means that they still have to rank in the Premier League. Drop one, in the case of more than half of the league, there will be one less game if you lose one game. Arsenal can't afford to lose!

※※※

With the attention of the world's media, the time for the game has finally come. The players of the two teams have appeared one after another, and the game officially kicked off at St. James's Stadium.

Arsenal is a traditional offensive team and is very famous in Europe. Although their Champions League results are terrible, no one dares to underestimate Arsenal's offensive ability. Newcastle United has only risen this season, but correspondingly, the team is one of several gorgeous teams in the Premier League. Don Jack and Owen's plus The League made Newcastle United's offense become the first-class team in the Premier League.

When the two teams play against each other, no one thinks that the goal will come late!

The result surprised everyone. Twenty minutes at the beginning of the game, the scoreboard on the field was still zero to zero, and neither of the two teams had the first goal.

There is always some inexplicability on the football field. Both teams let go of the attack. The players felt that the goal was close at hand, but in the first 20 minutes, both teams attacked for a long time, and neither team scored. Newcastle United goalkeeper Geven and Arsenal goalkeeper Lehman became the two best players in the game.

In front of Newcastle United, Gwen's performance was absolutely world-class. In the first minute or so, Henry's close-range shot was magically saved by him. After that, he saved the single-knife ball of Adebayor and Fabregas. At other times, he also played steadily and did not give Arsenal offensive players a chance. .

And Lehman's performance is even more amazing!

Lehman, who is thirty-six years old, is the oldest of the 22 players in the game, but he jumps around in front of the Arsenal. He can't see his age at all. He is much better than the player who played upright. In just 20 minutes, he saved Don Jack's three-legged shot... Two long-range shots, one close-range make-up shot, and three times were very magical saves. Don's long-range shot was no different from the close shot of other players, but Lehman just reacted and magically saved.

This is just Don Jack!

Twenty minutes, Michael. Owen also completed three shots, with his feet within the goal frame, and other players also completed four shots, but the magical Lehman saved the ball again and again. Such a performance is estimated to be that Schmeichel will be ashamed of himself at his peak.

Although there is no goal, the scene is not ambiguous at all. The attack of both teams is powerful. This game is originally an offensive battle. Both teams have let go of the attack. There are not many troops invested in defense, so the opportunity will naturally increase greatly.

Arsenal's attack is different from Newcastle United.

Arsenal's attack is more fast and penetrating. In the attack, Arsenal does not have much time to control the ball. After launching the attack, a few passes can let the football reach the Newcastle United penalty area. Finding the opportunity is a threatening shot.

The current Newcastle United is better at looking for opportunities.

This is a bit like Barcelona. As soon as the football reaches the foot of Newcastle United players, it begins to pass continuously. When there is a player's diagonal or long pass, it is equivalent to launching an offensive horn, and then the football is not fast (compared to Arsenal). It may stop for a while in the middle, or it may not be seen that there is no chance. When it comes back, when the penetration point is really found, Newcastle United's attack will be officially launched. Although it is a little complicated, such an attack is often very threatening. When Newcastle United attacks, it is difficult for Arsenal to defend in the backcourt.

At the same time, the two teams are very good at counterattacking!

Arsenal is a fast attack. After a few kicks in the counterattack, the football passed the football to the side of the goal. Now the midfield commander of Arsenal is the young player Fabregas. This young player has played his own world in Arsenal. His pass and penetrating power are often Newcastle United defender has just remembered the defense. Assen Na has succeeded in offside, which has created their two single-knife opportunities in the first 20 minutes.

Newcastle United's counterattack relies more on the speed of Don Jack and Luke on the sidelines. As soon as they get the ball, they quickly carry the ball forward. As soon as Jack Don takes the ball, it is difficult for others to keep up. Luke's dribble is okay, but it is still very fast. Newcastle United's counterattack uses more personal skills.

The weakness of Newcastle United can be seen here.

Whether in the counterattack or in the normal position attack, Newcastle United does not rely on the cooperation of the team, but more on the personal skills of Don Jack, Owen and other stars, and Arsenal is like a bonded whole. Their team is very young, but the attack is powerful, mainly Newcastle. The midfield ability of the League is insufficient, which makes the frontcourt attack only based on the star's personal performance.

In the first 20 minutes, it can be said that the two teams played the same game, and neither team took advantage of it!

※※※

The game is still going on. The head coaches of both teams are paying close attention to the game off the court. At the beginning, they actually don't care which team's first goal. After all, the game between the two teams will definitely score. A goal is really nothing. They all have a chance to catch it back.

But now it's different. The goalkeepers of the two teams performed excellently. Which side loses a goal first, the goalkeeper's magical performance will end, and it will naturally become much easier to score goals.

Before the game, Wenger emphasized to Arsenal players that this game scored more goals than their opponents, so despite frequent back defense crises, Arsenal is still attacking.

On the court, the football was passed twice at the feet of Henry and Fabregas. Seeing that there was no chance, Fabregas passed it diagonally to defender Campbell.

Campbell is the first rear general of Arsenal. He has been in Arsenal for many years. Although he had a 'salary gate' incident with Pires last season, Wenger is still reluctant to give up Campbell and re-sign him a new blockbuster contract. This treatment is very good. After all, Arsenal has been building a new stadium. Debt troubles, Campbell's strength is indeed good. His rich game experience and comprehensive personal ability allow him to deal with it freely on the court. He gently dialed his left foot to avoid Owen's snatch, and then passed the ball to the left front-back Pires.

At this time, Don Jack and Luke Keke had entered the Arsenal half to grab the ball. Newcastle United had a crushing momentum. Before the game, Soness explained that in order to cooperate with the FA's promotion of the club, and also for Newcastle United fans to enjoy the wonderful game, Newcastle United must play under pressure. The principle of offensive football is not to give up defense, but to strengthen the attack, so the players don't have any pressure, just attack, 'At least we have Jack, Jack stronger than Henry.'

Many people think so. Don Jack's performance gives his teammates infinite confidence.

After Piresy received the ball, Don Jack has run over. For Don Jack, Pires is no stranger to him. In fact, the players who have played against Don Jack in the Premier League are no strangers now. Pires are the same. Seeing Don Jack coming, Pires, who originally wanted to break through with the ball, did not hesitate to look to the right... . He wants to pass the ball.

Pirrey doesn't want to lose the ball at this time, which is definitely scolded by head coach Wenger!

Seeing Pires passing the ball out, Don Jack secretly cursed in his heart. Now the players in the Premier League are deliberately avoiding him. There is really nothing he can do. His speed can't be faster than the ball. Pires passed the ball back to Campbell, and Owen ran towards Campbell. Campbell was calm. Before Owen stole, he passed the ball to the right in a long line.

On the right side of Arsenal's front court, Arsenal's full-backs Heleb and Luke Qian scrambled for the ball. Relying on his height advantage, Heleb squeezed Luke to jump up the ball. After that, he threw the ball away from Luke's pursuit, and then saw the opportunity to cross diagonally to the penalty area.

Fabregas had already attacked the penalty area line. As soon as he ran to the position, the football rolled over from the right side. He rushed to catch the ball and dodged Taylor's steal with his toes. Then he stabbed one. The football entered the penalty area from the left side. Taylor hurried back, and Bramb was also inserted from one side to defend, but the football had already reached Henry. At your feet!

Raise your feet and shoot!

The volley is more than six meters away, and the football goes straight to the far corner!

"Fabregas, dunk over Taylor, pass the ball! Henry! It's Henry, Henry shot! Whoo..... Jiwen! It's Jiwen again. Jiwen has jumped in the air, but he still blocked the ball with his right hand, and the football went out of the bottom line... Jiwen's performance during this period can be described as amazing. He has blocked Henry's two goals. This performance can really be described as brave and unstoppable. If the game continues, Jiwen may get the honor of the best player in the game, and the best in this round will definitely be included.

Newcastle United coach Sones on the coaching bench exhaled and patted his hands. I don't know whether he was praising Arsenal's attack or Jivin's performance, but looking at his smiling face, he knew that the latter was the most.

As soon as Wenger on the other side stood up excitedly, he sat down silently. His expressionless face made people guess his mind: " Arsenal's coach Wenger looks very anxious. At present, Arsenal is the best time to score goals. If you can't break the goal late during this period, Newcastle United With the first goal, it will be difficult for Arsenal to win. After all, Jack's efficiency is too high.
