Volume 3: The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 11 Ecstasy
Since the inception of the Premier League, Arsenal and Everton have played each other 34 times, Arsenal 22 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses, while in the previous 17 games at Goodison Park, Arsenal won 8 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses, it can be said that Arsenal has an absolute advantage. This historical advantage also formed a huge psychological advantage for the Gunners, and after the opening kick-off, the Arsenal players took the initiative to press the Everton players.
Everton knows that Arsenal's style of play is more delicate, and they want to limit Arsenal with a more rugged style of play, which is Moyes's tactical arrangement today, less than ten seconds into the game, Everton, who kicked off first, used his central defender Lescott's long pass to launch a sharp attack.
Although Saha did not transfer from Manchester United in the front field today, Fellaini, who broke the club's transfer record for 20 million euros, also has a strong air advantage, which is an important reason why Moyes dared to let Saha play as a substitute.
However, Belgian Wilmalen, who has just moved to Arsenal, is also a compatriot of Fellaini, and his header ability is also excellent, and he grabbed Fellaini to push the ball aside before Fellaini and defused Everton's long ball.
Arsenal then controlled the ball and attacked, with Bendtner playing well from the back of the pitch. In the third minute, Bendtner dribbled the ball at high speed on the right flank, and then sent a through pass, Van Persie received the ball and knocked it across at the right time, and former Manchester United star left midfielder Phil Neville grabbed the ball and cut in before Bendtner received the ball and successfully intercepted the ball. In the 7th minute, Nasri suddenly passed the ball to the edge of the penalty area, and Bendtner shot high with his right foot from the right side in front of the penalty area.
In the first ten minutes, Li Huan basically focused on observation, adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League, and saw where the opponent's flaws were. Because the reputation and strength of the players are one thing, and how much strength they can play during the game is another.
And Everton has played against Hoffenheim in the League Cup, and they are obviously very jealous of Li Huan, if the striker is mainly in Li Huan's defensive area, the former Manchester United star experienced Phil. Neville guarded the left flank and formed a three-line line of defence with England international Barnes to limit Li Huan.
In the first ten minutes, Li Huan's honesty made Everton's players a little uncomfortable, in their remaining memories, Li Huan's assists were very arrogant, almost not taking the opponent's entire left side to heart, could it be that after coming to Arsenal, he was honest. Although he thinks so, the Everton players do not dare to relax at all. Faced with a player who scored three goals in 50 minutes, who dares to let their guard down.
Li Huan did not assist, but Klich was not polite, after Li Huan joined, the main threat was Arsenal's two fullbacks, Wenger took turns in training to let Li Huan test in both positions, has not been decided, now Li Huan has replaced Sagna's position, Chrisy feels threatened, and at this time desperately wants to show himself.
In the 11th minute, Klich's assist from the left side brought Arsenal's best attacking opportunity, Klich broke through Everton right-back Siebert's left-footed long pass, Bendtner used his height advantage to cross in the box, Van Persie turned and fell to the ground under the bag of two defenders, goalkeeper Howard reacted quickly and hit the ball with one hand.
The corner kick on the left side is generally taken by Fabregas, Li Huan is a right back, the corner kick on the left side is too troublesome, Fabregas This penalty kick is driven to the front of the penalty area by Alexander. Song shot from a distance, but there were too many people in the penalty area, even if Song saw the route of the shot, but when he came out, the route was still blocked.
Everton's tactics were to frequently play high balls from the flanks and corners of the box, using Fellaini's high altitude to bombard the Gunners' defence, but fortunately, the newly joined Vermaelen was excellent and familiar with his compatriots, and he worked with Galla to make a clearance. Keep the goal in check.
The match has been going on for fifteen minutes, but Li Huan has been standing in his position very quietly, not seeking merit but seeking no fault, it seems to be very leisurely, only those who are familiar with him can see that he is observing his opponent, ready to make a fatal blow.
The Arsenal fans in the stands were a little anxious, this is not what they want to see Li Huan, if they just want a solid right-back, it can't be said that it is everywhere, there must be at least 20 people to meet Arsenal's requirements, why should they spend 100 million to buy Li Huan. What they need is a defender with a knife, one who can attack like Robert. Baggio, defending like Robert. Carlos' player.
"Attack! Plum! β
"Hurry up and attack! Plum! Give Everton a little bit of a look. β
"Lee, you won't forget to attack, right?"
The commentator also said strangely, "What's wrong with Li Huan today, he actually stayed behind and didn't attack, is he worried about being beaten by Ruo Ruo Behind him?" Is Li Huan scared and wants to seek stability, this is also possible, after all, he and Arsenal's teammates are not familiar with each other, and Nasri does not have the ability to make up for his defense, and the defensive coverage ability of the back is also limited. β
Just when everyone was questioning, Li Huan started assisting.
is like the King of Chuzhuang in the Chinese story, if he doesn't make a sound, he will be a blockbuster, and if he doesn't fly, he will soar into the sky.
In the 16th minute, when Li Huan attacked Everton's right side with the ball in Cesc Fabregas, he saw that the left side was a little empty, and immediately rushed to the middle and raised his hand to ask for the ball. Fabregas on the right side has a very wide field of vision, as soon as Li Huan plugs it in, he is like having countless eyes on his body, and he immediately found that Li Huan raised his hand, and his ball flew in front of Li Huan like a cruise missile.
Li Huan saw the landing point of the ball, but he deliberately took a step forward, as if he had run past, Phil. Neville saw Li Huan running by, and his mind relaxed a little, but it was in Phil. Neville rushed over and thought about it, but when he stuck to Li Huan, Li Huan's leg hooked from behind, hooked the ball that was about to fly over his head, and then dodged around Phil Neville, who saw a little brain short-circuit.
Li Huan got rid of the defense in the middle and went straight to the bottom line in the blink of an eye, the left fullback, England international Barnes has first-class experience, technology and body, otherwise he would not have been selected for the England country, but against Li Huan, who rushed over like the wind, he still felt fear in his heart, and instinctively chose to retreat and look for the support of his companions.
But Li Huan came too quickly, and Barnes's teammates had not yet come to make up for it, and Li Huan had already faced the defender of the England national team.
Barnes was determined to jam the inside line and let Li Huan toss on the outside.
Li Huan rushed over with the ball, neither looking at Nasri, who was running for him on the inside, nor at the defender of the England national team.
A bicycle ...... Two bicycles...... Three bicycle ...... Four......
Barnes watched Li Huan perform a bicycle stunt in front of him, one or two could bear it, and when the third or fourth cycle, Barnes was dizzy and couldn't stand it anymore, and rushed over to kick Li Huan over, giving Arsenal a yellow card, and the free kick in this position was not much of a threat.
Li Huan was playing Barnes when he was doing a bicycle, and when Barnes pounced, Li Huan suddenly cut horizontally to the direction of the penalty area, and he was able to let go of Barnes's upper grab (actually kicking). Barnes was close at hand, but it was never possible to touch Li Huan's finger again.
Li Huan quickly cut to the penalty area, and when he was thinking about whether to shoot or pass, he suddenly saw that when the central defender in the penalty area was rushing towards him, there was a gap in the middle, and Nasri was running in the direction of that gap.
Li Huan immediately rubbed the ball with the outside of his left foot, and the ball immediately drew a wonderful arc, bypassing the central defender who was covering the defense, and flew in front of Nasri.
Li Huan's outside instep pass was very hidden, and it also happened to bypass the central defender Lai Scott who was in the same position as him.
Nasri ran this vacancy, but he didn't expect Li Huan to be able to pass over, but Li Huan's arc really rotated in the direction he was, even if Nasri wanted to dodge, he couldn't dodge.
Nasri immediately took a decisive kick and curled a shot into the top right corner, and goalkeeper Howard, who had already moved to the left, could only watch the ball fly towards the net.
1-0γ Arsenal took the lead. Li Huan's first assist was successful. Nasri scored on his first shot and Goodison Park fell silent. Nearly 40,000 Toffee fans sat in their seats, speechless.
After a brief silence, the Arsenal fans jumped up and down with an earth-shattering shout, giving out all their excitement into the shouts.
βgoalοΌ Nasri! Nasri! Plum! Plum! A great assist, a great goal, Lee, had an assist in 15 minutes and he made it. Everton's defence is vulnerable in front of the World Footballer, and the last pass is particularly beautiful, it is simply a genius technique, and that one blow is so good that Nasri only needs a light blow......"
Nasri rushed towards Li Huan quickly, jumped up and pounced on Li Huan's body, and pressed Li Huan to the ground. Then the Arsenal players who came in and pressed Nasri underneath him, and the players celebrated wildly.
When Li Huan stepped forward to ask for the ball, Wenger kept a heart hanging until Nasri scored the ball, Wenger clenched his fists excitedly and rushed out, of course, he would not wave his arms and shout, the professor hammered his arms down, as if venting the excitement in his heart, and then returned to his seat.
