Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 371 More Despicable Tactics

Arsenal's defence in front of them was purely out of a desire to be stable and to reach the final at the lowest cost, but now it is clear that this best goal is no longer achievable, and they can only completely defeat their opponents, leaving them with no illusions.

Arsenal is playing at home, waiting for work, and tens of thousands of fans are cheering and cheering, and the outbreak of combat power is much stronger than that of AC Milan.

In the 30th minute of the game, Arsenal played a wonderful combination, in the chaos of AC Milan, Van Persie, Walcott, Rosicky, Milan followed the ball and panted, but did not even touch the ball.

After the continuous passing of the ball to the feet of Walket, Walcott kept passing back to Li Huan, who was inserted in the back, this was Arsenal's 20th consecutive pass, AC Milan's formation was messed up by Arsenal's rapid pass, and because he couldn't even touch the ball, the player's mentality became very impatient, and the gap between the back line and the midfielder in the three lines was opened, and at this time Van Persie just ran to the vacuum between the defender and the back.

Li Huan is a defender, and he has a very comprehensive observation of the whole game, he saw that when Van Persie appeared in front of the defender behind the back waist, it happened that Walcott's ball also passed, and Li Huan was extremely calm and extremely decisive to meet the ball with a long pass.

The ball arced gracefully across most of the pitch and found Van Persie accurately.

In the process of the flight of the ball, the AC Milan players found that it was not good, the midfielders hurriedly turned to chase back, the central defenders stepped forward to block, the full-backs moved closer to the middle and were ready to fill in at any time, and goalkeeper Abbiati stared nervously at Van Persie to prevent him from suddenly shooting from distance.

Van Persie had at least 60 per cent hope of rushing into the box from between Nesta and Marta, but Van Persie, who has always been known as a lone wolf of the Gunners, did not break through at this time, he stopped on his chest, volleyed the ball to the side to find Marta, and continued to run to the penalty area to grab the point.

Marta has added a lot to Arsenal's midfield and forward line after his transfer from Valencia, in the midfield he can be equivalent to at least two-thirds of Cesc Fabregas, and he is no worse than Nasri on the wing, but unfortunately, Marta transferred from La Liga and cannot adapt to the fierce competition in the Premier League, and has been injured throughout the season, not playing the role of replacing Fabregas, making Arsenal play a difficult season this season.

Although Marta, who has returned from injury, is a little rusty with his teammates, his technical advantages are still more obvious to players in the Premier League and Serie A, and Li Huan's pressure has decreased significantly since he returned from injury.

Marta deftly unloaded Van Persie's pass and faced the rushing Tavoy to shake the left-back of last season's Serie A in a couple of successive cycles, and then he rolled the ball around Tavoy into the box.

Van Persie rushed into the box and Marta's pass flew right in.

It was a half-high ball, and right on Van Persie's running line, Marta's pass was really effective.

Van Persie comfortably flicked his head at the ball and the ball flew past Abbiati and into the bottom left corner of the net.

2:0!

The stands were boiling again, more than 60,000 fans stood up and cheered loudly, their expressions were intoxicated, completely intoxicated by this goal, if the first goal is Li Huan's personal performance, then this goal is the crystallization of team cooperation, and the first goal, this goal is full of artistic and technical beauty, from another point of view, this goal is more in line with the spirit of football than Li Huan's goal just now, because Li Huan's goal is a work of genius, not everyone can score, And this goal can be completed as long as you know how to play football and know how to cooperate.

Arsene Wenger's expression was extremely excited, and he jumped up and hugged assistant coach Rice to pick him up, he was so excited, because this goal can best reflect his coaching art and Arsenal's technical style.

The AC Milan generals are stupid, the opponent has just completed 22 passes, and AC Milan, which is known for its technical flow, has not been able to touch the ball, which is simply a slap in the face of Hongguoguo.

“goalgoalgoal…… Arsenal scored again, and it was their striker Robin van Persie who scored a textbook goal, after the ball was passed 22 times at the feet of Arsenal, and the AC Milan players didn't even have a chance to foul, which is simply a vivid football lesson to the Milanese, Italian football has fallen behind across the board, and now the mini-World Cup is ...... in the British Isles"

With the passionate voice of the commentator, the atmosphere of the scene continued to rise, like a tide, and finally the overwhelming sound of "Long live Arsenal" filled the entire Emirates Stadium, and the momentum was as if it was about to shake the stadium over.

With a four-goal lead on aggregate, Arsenal's players were in a very good mood, no longer having the nervousness and anxiety they had before, and they hugged each other to celebrate this beautiful team goal.

Li Huan, who launched a fatal long pass, said to his teammates: "Play like this, but there are too many sticky balls, they will go home in one game, and we still have the final to play." ”

Van Persie, who scored a goal, said: "Let them run behind our butts and score another goal to finish the game." ”

The goal just now was very pleasing to the players, and they stretched out their palms and shouted loudly: "Yes, score another goal, give them a slap." ”

In the first round, Arsenal won the victory with a long-range shot and a free kick from Li Huan, but these two goals also gave AC Milan a delusion, they thought that Arsenal's attack was nothing more than that, if it wasn't for the long-range sneak attack and unsolvable free kick, it would not necessarily be who won or lost at the San Siro Stadium, but Arsenal's two goals today made them understand the real gap between the two teams in terms of level, whether it is in the individual ability of the stars or in the team's cooperation, AC Milan and Arsenal have a big gap.

Frustrated, AC Milan lost their fighting spirit in the final ten minutes of the first half, and they returned to their own half of defence, allowing Arsenal to bombard their box indiscriminately, at least occasionally launching sporadic counter-attacks.

AC Milan's power is not a big gap than Arsenal, at least it is still a level of team, they go back to defend Arsenal It will be difficult to break their goal, although Arsenal is offensive after the goal, but they are still concerned about the league and the final, and they did not play their full strength, and they failed to knock on the third time in the last ten minutes of the first half.

Half-time was invaluable to Allegri, and without it it would have been for AC Milan to finish the game in such a state, but now he has a chance to adjust and change. So much so that as soon as the Milan players returned to the dressing room, Allegri hurriedly walked in.

Allegri praised the bravery of his players in the previous period and then reviewed his tactical mistakes, believing that he had overestimated the quality of his team to the point of paying a heavy price in the game.

“…… In the second half, we had to change to a counter-attacking tactic – based on not conceding a goal, aiming for a goal, and hinting at getting the home stadium, they wouldn't be the same as we weren't attacking, so as long as we didn't concede a goal. In the last twenty minutes we have hope. At that time they had a drop in concentration and fitness and we had a good chance of scoring. 、……”

Seeing that some of the players did not understand, Allegri explained: "We are not as good as them in terms of technique and tactics, and this is the only way to ensure the safety of the goal. When defending, you have to start with the forward, if you have to foul, then the foul has to be early, if only a foul can be stopped, then the action must be big, you understand? ”

The AC Milan players all nodded their heads and said they understood, they had thought about this point of view, and even many coaches did it, but Allegri was the first to say it in front of the players.

"How do we deal with Li Huan, and that Marta??" Van Bommel asked one of the most crucial questions.

From the first half of the game, everyone has a very clear feeling, Arsenal with Li Huan is almost impossible to fail, goalkeeper Abbiati feels the deepest, every time Li Huan takes the ball, he has a feeling that Li Huan immediately breaks through his teammates and rushes to the goal in front of him.

Allegri groaned and said. The stadium is like a battlefield, you can't be merciful, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to yourself, think about it, every time these two beautiful goals are shown on TV and video, we will be made fun of by the fans, we still have time, the game is not over yet, if you don't want to be a laughing stock, you just do what I say. ”

The AC Milan players all nodded in understanding, and Allegri's words spoke to their hearts, and they still couldn't let go of the malicious foul, and now they also found an excuse to comfort themselves.

Arsenal's dressing room did not know that they would be dealt with in a more despicable manner at AC Milan and were still happily discussing how to convince the Italians by scoring a few more goals in the second half. Arsene Wenger didn't pay much attention to the game either, replacing Rosicky at half-time to put Vela on the pitch, while Marta went to the middle to get ready for the final.

A fifteen-minute half-time break seems too short for players who are desperate to get a break. But it was a long time for the anxiously waiting fans outside, and when the fans in the stands saw the players from both sides walking out of the dressing room, they welcomed them with loud applause.
