Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 296 Winning the Championship
Arsenal started the show under the instructions of the two captains, as long as Blackburn's players dare to foul the players who run without the ball, the fouled players will immediately fall to the ground, waiting for the referee to blow the game, even if the referee does not see it, they will not get up, anyway, Arsenal is not too big to press forward, not afraid of no one in the backline.
Blackburn took advantage of it at the beginning, Arsenal's attack was very messy by them, but soon Arsenal's performance played a role, Blackburn's players received yellow cards in a row, and the game became more scattered, the Arsenal fans on the scene did not know that Arsenal suddenly played performing arts, and was very dissatisfied with the foul of Blackburn players, and booed for a while, at the beginning it was still Blackburn who booed when he fouled, and then Blackburn's players booed as soon as they got the ball, Booing Blackburn's players were annoyed.
Blackburn's players were ashamed of Arsenal's downhill behavior, but after receiving consecutive yellow cards, they also understood that if they continued to foul like this, someone would likely be sent off as a result, so they had to give up the dirty tactics of fouling players who ran without the ball.
Arsenal didn't dare to put on an overly show on their home turf, and as soon as Blackburn relaxed the foul of a player without the ball, they immediately gave up on the show and tried to extend the score with the short pass they were most familiar with.
"Toot!"
With the referee's whistle, the first half was over, with Arsenal leading the visitors 2-1 at home, and as long as they can keep that scoreline until full-time, Arsenal will win their 15th league title and seal the title five rounds ahead of schedule.
At half-time, there was a quarrel in the dressing room of the visiting team, some of the Blackburn players did not want to press out to attack, they wanted to play defensive counterattacks, and the other part of the players thought that it was better to attack, because the score was ahead, Arsenal obviously did not want to attack, if Blackburn did not attack, there was no way to watch this game.
After the restart, Blackburn Rovers changed their 451 formation to a balanced 442, adding a striker and reducing a midfielder to strengthen the attack on Arsenal.
Arsenal did not change the formation and style of play, and it was exactly what they wanted to do with Blackburn's attack, they wanted to be stable, but they were afraid that Blackburn would not attack. This is in their own home stadium, Arsenal is worried that the scene is too ugly, now Blackburn attack, they easily play a defensive counterattack in the back, don't look at Arsenal's strong attack every time the formation of a shot is very difficult, when playing a counterattack, they are almost a hit accurate, do not need too good cooperation at all, especially Walcott, Arshavin and Li Huan, they are lightning fast raid masters, once they rush up, one or two defenders can not stop at all.
Just 15 minutes into the second half, Arsenal's counterattack finally paid off, Fabregas exchanged positions in the middle with Li Huan in his own position, avoiding the pursuit of Blackburn's players, and after a little observation of the team's running position, Fabregas directly raised his foot and made a long pass behind the Blackburn players, Walcott, Van Persie and Arshavin rushed to the ball like three hungry wolves. Blackburn Rovers also moved quickly towards their own defence, hoping to clear the ball first.
However, Blackburn's back line is all tall and slow, and the speed of running is still much slower than Arsenal's three wolves. By the time they were a few metres away, Walcourt arrived, unloading the ball from his chest and sprinting towards Blackburn's box.
Blackburn's goalkeeper Robinson accepted the lesson of the first half, this time he didn't dare to attack, and stayed at home honestly, but seeing that Walcott was almost to the penalty line, goalkeeper Robinson knew that it was impossible not to attack, and he immediately attacked from the goal to save Walcott's foot.
Walcott was very efficient in scoring goals and shooting more decisively than before, and when he saw Robinson attacking, he lifted his foot to the goal.
Walcott's hanging door was well chosen, just when the goalkeeper was about to attack, Robinson was stunned, he wanted to jump up may not be big, he could only reluctantly reach out to play, but the ball grazed his fingertips and flew to the net.
At 3:1, Walcoat equalized the score for Arsenal.
Walcoat ran over and jumped on Van Persie's body, two men, hugged each other tightly, at this time they also forgot the unpleasantness of the past, this time they just wanted to forget the celebration.
“goal! Walcott! Walcott! Nice long pass! Fabregas, the great midfield engine, sent Walcoat a missile-like assist to win the title in a thrilling championship battle, and Arsenal regained the initiative of the game with a goal......"
In an instant, the fans at the Emirates Stadium were ignited with enthusiasm, and everyone stood up in unison, cheering Arsenal's lead with their arms raised and cheering for Theo Walcott's goal. Everyone waved scarves with the Arsenal crest on them and shouted in unison, "Walcott! Walcott! The Emirates Stadium, which can accommodate more than 60,000 people, has been transformed into a sea of joy.
Professor Arsene Wenger had been sitting in the dugout before Theo Walcott's goal, but in fact he had been staring nervously at the situation on the pitch until Theo Walcott had scored, and the professor had a satisfied smile on his face and stood up to applaud Walcott.
After Arsenal scored, the rain stopped, and the turf of the Emirates Stadium drained very well, and after the rain stopped, the stadium was soon as usual, which formed a synergy for Arsenal's attack, making the Gunners' counterattack more and more aggressive, and Blackburn may not be able to find anyone even if he fouls.
In the 65th minute of the game, Arsenal counter-attacked again, this time it was Robin van Persie, Robinxia successfully countered offside, and shook the goalkeeper to score Arsenal's fourth goal.
In the 79th minute of the game, Li Huan's free kick fixed the score at the number 5:1, and the game became completely garbage time.
In the last ten minutes, Braque was demoralized, the fans began to count down for the championship, the game shifted from victory to celebratory preparations, and the entire flower-filled stadium began to make waves of Mexicans, cheering for the championship like a tide, one after another.
"Toot!"
At the end of 90 minutes, Arsenal finally won the league title seven rounds ahead of schedule.
