Alexander Song's defence is considered to be very successful, not only by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, but also by the outside media and commentators.

After the end of the first half, the BBC commentator praised Alexander Song's steady, "Alexander Song is a player who doesn't have many good performances, but he has always been steady. For a while now, Song was in charge of keeping an eye on Zhen Shaolong, and the defense has been very tight, and Zhen Shaolong has not been allowed to find a chance......"

Zhen Shaolong didn't find a chance is a success!

Wenger's judgment on defense is the same, he doesn't know that Zhen Shaolong is running out of skills, at a time point of 'skill window', coupled with Arsenal's overall tight defense, it is naturally difficult to find good opportunities, anyway, Wenger attributed the success of defense to the pressure of Shan-Song.

At half-time, Arsene Wenger returned to the dressing room and praised Alexander Song, "Well done, keep defending like this." ”

Alexander Song was praised inexplicably, he was completely unaware of how successful he was.

Relative.

Wenger was very dissatisfied with Denelson Jr., when Denelson Jr. was defending, two mistakes allowed Zhen Shaolong to score two goals, and he even felt that the team was two goals behind, which was directly related to Denelson Jr.

He decided to replace Denilson, "You take a break and let Abu [Diaby] play." ”

Abu Diaby is a black French player who joined Paris Saint-Germain at the age of 13 but decided to leave the club after two years because he was a Marseille fan, and in 2003 Diaby joined another Ligue 1 club, AJ Auxerre, who won the domestic Under-16 Champions Cup.

His coach, Kistan Henna, described Diaby as smart, technical and fast. Diaby is a strong midfielder who has been compared by many to Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira.

Then he joined Arsenal.

Arsene Wenger hopes that Cesc Fabregas will become Vieira's replacement, but there is no doubt that Diaby is the closest to Vieira's style, but unfortunately he seems to be a 'glass man', plagued by injuries for a long time, after joining Arsenal, he has not played much, but he has been in a state of 'not playing' for a long time.

Arsene Wenger is a headache for this and believes Diaby has potential.

Now that he found that Denelson Jr. was overwhelmed, he decided to give Diaby a chance.

It's a normal substitution.

Denilson Jr. didn't take it to heart, he didn't perform well in the past, but he still got the chance to start in the next game, he didn't care very much, and he was in the mood to laugh with his teammates, which suddenly made Wenger even more dissatisfied with him, what Denelson Jr. didn't know was that he had left a bad impression in Wenger's heart, and he couldn't say that he went straight into the cold palace, but he still imagined that it was the same as before, and it was impossible to get a play if he didn't perform well.

Wenger decided to make a substitution, but also reminded him a little to counter-attack.

He also put Van Persie on the pitch.

Van Persie is not only a striker, a winger can also play well, his speed is very fast, with Diaby, Cesc Fabregas, can also have a considerable deterrent, Adebayor in front can also help attract the defence, so that even if the focus is not on the attack, it can still pose a threat to the Newcastle United goal.

The other side.

Kevin Keegan is constantly emphasizing defence, and he also emphasized defence before the game, but it is not so categorical, because he thinks that it is impossible to beat Arsenal by defending alone, and now the team has a two-goal advantage, and it is acceptable to maintain the advantage.

It was easy to play a two-goal advantage in the first leg and win away from home in the second leg.

This is a conservative strategy.

Keegan is not a completely conservative manager, but he has now changed his mind, in order to get better results, in order to be able to lead the team to the Champions League final, appropriate conservatism is also a must, and how is it important to stick to the style to compete for the title?

————

Soon the second half began.

Wenger emphasized that he should strengthen the offensive, but only to strengthen the counterattack, the overall focus of the play is still on defense, the defense around the penalty area is still dense, Zhen Shaolong also has to face an extremely tough marking, not to mention wanting to shoot at the opportunity, it would be good to get the ball when he retreated.

In this situation, Zhen Shaolong has not performed for a long time.

Five minutes.

Ten minutes.

Twenty minutes.

Half of the second half time has passed, and the score on the field has not been rewritten, but the outside world and even the players on the field of Arsenal feel that their defense has been successful, as evidenced by Zhen Shaolong's long-term lack of performance.

Suddenly.

The Arsenal players have increased their confidence.

Wenger on the sidelines also showed ease, the work of defending Zhen Shaolong is too important, Arsenal did not score, but found a way to limit Zhen Shaolong, even if he was two goals behind, there was a chance to return to home.

Contrarily.

If they can't find a way to limit Zhen Shaolong, they will eventually draw with Newcastle United, and they will lose in the next leg.

At this point in the game, Arsenal's counter-attack was much tougher.

Once.

Again.

Newcastle United began to face a threat, Arsenal hit two consecutive waves of counter-attacks into the penalty area, if it weren't for Given's reaction speed, football might have entered the goal, Arsenal also used this morale to shake up, and the enthusiasm of the game has increased a lot.

Zhen Shaolong was somewhat forgotten.

Although it is still the focus on the field, if there is no performance for a long time, it will also reduce the number of shots that appear on the screen, but in fact, Zhen Shaolong is not too anxious, but he has not performed for dozens of minutes, which does not mean anything.

He's still looking for an opportunity.

Although Arsenal defended very tightly, he was not looking for the kind of opportunity to shoot, but only for opportunities to receive and control the ball from close range.

In the seventy-sixth minute of the game, Zhen Shaolong finally found an opportunity, which was a pass from the middle of Geremi to the side.

Zhen Shaolong stood on the side of the penalty area.

Geremi picked the ball over, Alexander Song didn't follow up at the first time, Zhen Shaolong stuck the position first, and successfully hit the ball at the first point.

He wanted to stop the ball.

When the football was about to hit the top of his head, Zhen Shaolong noticed that Alexander Song followed, and the opposing full-back also came to defend together, if he stopped the ball at his feet, he would not have a chance to break through, and it would be difficult to control the ball.

Zhen Shaolong suddenly changed his strategy and decided to continue to push the ball into the air, he did not go to his teammates, but pushed the ball upright.

Once.

Twice.

Three times......

In the stunned gaze of Alexander Song next to him, Zhen Shaolong was like a seal top balloon in the water, and finally succeeded in stopping the ball overhead, and then froze in place for a moment and did not move again, Alexander Song suddenly felt that something should be done, he went over to squeeze Zhen Shaolong, and used his body to interfere with Zhen Shaolong's balance.

However, it was too late.

When the most important second passed, "Skillful Skills" suddenly had an effect, and the football successfully stuck to the top of Zhen Shaolong's head.

And then.

Zhen Shaolong spread his legs and rushed towards the goal!

Hasten!

Accelerate again!

In the process of sprinting to the goal, Toure and Fabregas both ran over to intercept, but Zhen Shaolong turned his body to stagger Fabregas as if he did not control the ball, and then accelerated to throw Toure away.

Toure also knew that he was following behind Zhen Shaolong, but he didn't have anything to do with Zhen Shaolong in front of him, and he definitely couldn't foul in the penalty area.

Cesc Fabregas froze in place, feeling like he was dreaming rather than playing, "How did you do that?" Can you still control the ball to this extent? ”

Cesc Fabregas was stunned!

Most of the other people reacted the same as Fabregas, mainly because Zhen Shaolong's 'sticky ball time' was too long, and he was slightly acceptable in one or two seconds, but the other party rushed up and swung his body, and in the process of accelerating, it was probably more than three or four seconds?

When everyone was in a state of surprise, Zhen Shaolong rushed to the door in two steps, and then staggered Almnia, who reached out to grab the ball, and pushed his head forward a little harder.

The soccer ball is finally out of the head.

And then.

In the stunned gaze of most people, it flew into the goal accurately.

“……”

“……”

“……”

The audience was shocked.

The game commentator didn't know what to say, and his first words were, "What's going on!" ”

"God ~~~"

After shouting God, the game commentator immediately said, "Zhen Shaolong rushed to the goal from the side of the penalty area, and then pushed the ball into the ......"

"God!"

"God!"

"Is this true?"

The TV screen was replayed in slow motion, allowing fans in front of the TV to relive the goal.

Everyone was shocked.

Some Newcastle fans still remember that Zhen Shaolong scored a similar goal, but there was definitely no shock this time, because Zhen Shaolong took too long to top the ball, more than four seconds, and also crossed Toure and Fabregas halfway, and staggered Almunia's hands, so flexible that it felt like a normal run, and he didn't control the football at all.

But...... No way!

The game commentator came to a conclusion in amazement, "Zhen Shaolong's head...... It's so flexible! It's amazing! He has a great control over the ball in his head, and it takes a very good, if not impossible, balance to pull off a goal like that......"

"But, Zhen did it."

"He may be suitable for shaving his head, I believe many people will be interested in the top of his head......"

After a short silence in the stadium, the fans quickly reacted, they let out a huge cheer, the name of "Zhen Shaolong" resounded throughout the stadium, everyone could hear the shouts of the fans, enough to see the absolute support of the fans, but no one on the field was jealous, everyone was shocked by Zhen Shaolong's control of football.

The same goes for Newcastle United team-mates.

Many teammates, such as Barton, Grammie, and even Smith, ran over and touched Zhen Shaolong's hair, Zhen Shaolong was very disgusted by this behavior, and he felt that his handsome hairstyle was rubbed into a bird's nest by his teammates.

"Go away!"

"Don't touch me!"

"Flash away! Don't touch my hair! ”

Opposite side.

The Arsenal players were in shock, thinking back to the goal they had just scored, and they felt very unbelievable and helpless at the same time.

For example, Toure.

Toure felt very helpless, he didn't know how to defend, when the opponent did that, he really had no way at all, at most he was to follow his side, affecting the opponent's physical balance, the opponent ran very fast, if he didn't follow up at the first time, it would be difficult to affect it again.

This way of scoring goals doesn't make sense.

And then.

Toure approached the referee and asked a key question, "Isn't this a foul?" ”

The referee Baboya was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook his head and said, "No foul, there is no rule that you can't dribble with a header......"

"But he (Zhen Shaolong) will be like this next time, how can we defend? Just watch him rush into the goal? ”

Toure's rhetorical question provoked Barboya's contemplation.

That's right!

Zhen Shaolong's move is simply unreasonable, although he is the only one who can do it, but the long-term use of deterrence in the game is too great, what should he do next time?

"Maybe I should react to UEFA, it's a loophole in the rules of a football game......"
