Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 364 Uncatchable Actions
After conceding the goal, Arsenal did not panic or complain to each other, winning nearly 20 titles in the past three seasons and losing only 5 of more than 100 games, these brilliant results gave them confidence and foundation, and almost every player believed that they could turn the opponent around.
Wenger, who was standing on the sidelines, did not say much, let alone shout at the two central defenders like Boas, pointing fingers, Wenger, who was already moody, was more calm under the precipitation of the results of these seasons, he smiled and made gestures to let the players play according to the original plan, not to rush to attack.
There are not many Arsenal fans who come to Stamford Bridge, only a few thousand, it's not that Arsenal fans don't want to come, but Chelsea Football Club only gives them so many tickets, Chelsea are very well prepared for this game, even the fan factor has been taken into account. They want their fans to completely overwhelm Arsenal fans in terms of momentum.
When the team fell behind, the Arsenal fans all stood up, sang the Arsenal team song in unison, cheered for the Arsenal players, and these fans were also full of confidence, thousands of people almost spoke in unison, the momentum was so strong that even tens of thousands of Chelsea fans could not suppress it.
The effect of this collective self-confidence was clear, with the players not rushing tactically, passing the ball and shooting with the ball, which frustrated Chelsea's idea of taking advantage of the fire, and also created a strong sense of insecurity in Chelsea, who were not confident that they would be able to hold on to a goal.
In the case of dense defense, it is difficult to find a gap by passing the ball alone, at this time, only a local breakthrough can be torn apart in the defensive line, every technical team needs one or several sharp knives with strong breakthrough ability, just like Messi of Barcelona, Ronaldo of Real Madrid, Rooney of Manchester United, and Li Huan who completed this link at Arsenal.
In the 35th minute of the game, Arsenal, who had been patiently waiting for the opportunity, finally found a flaw in the Chelsea defence, which was caused by Li Huan's breakthrough on the wing.
Chelsea defends very tightly on the right side, which can be called a heavy defense, even if Li Huan's breakthrough ability cannot break through several players in a row, but in the 35th minute, Li Huan assisted Chelsea's front court to receive Rosicky's pass, and he unexpectedly made an extremely fast tail swing of the cow, and Nasri, who was closest to Li Huan, was shaken by this feint on the spot and squatted on the ground.
The stands suddenly sounded the loud cheers of Arsenal fans, Nasri is Arsenal's traitor, when he was in Arsenal, he and Li Huan's cooperation is the most tacit, now he is the best defensive Li Huan among Chelsea players, the first 30 minutes, Nasri did not play much role in the attack, but he played a great role in defending Li Huan, Arsenal fans hated him so much, now I see him deflated, Arsenal fans that anger needless to say.
However, Li Huan did not have time to feel the happiness of the fans, he saw the opportunity to tear apart Chelsea's iron bucket formation, it turned out that Chelsea's defense to his front and back attack, back blocking, plus the way of central defenders to fill the position, it can be said that it is seamless, Li Huan is difficult to even pass.
When Nasri was defending Li Huan, he mainly interfered with Li Huan to get the ball and cut off the connection between Li Huan and the players behind him, and now that Nasri fell, Li Huan had two options when assisting, he could pass back or break forward, which was even more difficult for Chelsea to defend.
Sure enough, Li Huan quickly broke forward, and when he encountered Ivanovic's block, Li Huan left the ball in place, bypassed Ivanovic from outside the sideline and ran wildly to the bottom line, and Wilshere, who was following Li Huan, ran to the ball with understanding, rubbed the ball up with his toes, and passed it over Ivanovic's head.
"Overhead ball! After Li Huan completed a wonderful 'dragon tail swing', he completed a wonderful cooperation with Wilshere, Li Huan's speed was fully exerted, and Ivanovic was like a clumsy bear in front of him...... The bear was left behind, Li Huan went to the bottom, and the central defender Luis had reached the edge of the penalty area, he came in time, otherwise Li Huan would have entered the penalty area, and Luis would not dare to foul at that time...... Yes...... Yes!!! …… Oh, God! Li Huan has passed! Li Huan actually passed Louis, and Louis was like a stake, neither intercepting Li Huan nor being able to foul! Did he fall into evil? We're looking forward to slow motion, let's see what's going on in between? What kind of magic did Li Huan use to get past Louis...... Let's take a look at how Chelsea solve the situation at hand......
After Li Huan passed Ivanovic and central defender Luiz in a row, Chelsea's central defender, Dinghaishen Needle, and Terry, the protagonist of the brother-in-law, had to come out. When he comes out, the middle of Chelsea's penalty area is almost empty, but if he doesn't come out, Li Huan can shoot directly with two more steps. The lesser of two evils, Terry had to come out.
Terry is tall and has long legs and arms, not only blocking Li Huan's shooting angle, but also blocking Li Huan's passing line. Although Chelsea's penalty area leaked Van Persie and no one was marked, it was difficult for Li Huan to pass the ball directly to Van Persie.
It's a moment to test a player's footballing smarts.
Li Huan did not force a cross, nor did he force a goal, let alone force a breakthrough, standing in front of the world's top central defender and one of the top goalkeepers, surrounded by many enemies, Li Huan had to consider how high the success rate was, and Li Huan was not arrogant, he chose to pass the ball very rationally at this time.
Of course, Li Huan's ball was not passed to Van Persie, it was too difficult to pass the ball to Van Persie, Li Huan believed in his teammates, believed in the strength of the team, and he passed the ball to Rosicky at the front of the penalty area.
Rosicky did not live up to Li Huan's trust, the ball passed in front of him, he did not stop the ball, he rubbed it with his toes, and made another overhead pass, passing the ball to Van Persie.
These two passes were almost between the lightning and flint, and the other players didn't have time to defend Van Persie, although goalkeeper Cech began to move when Li Huan passed, but after all, people couldn't move the ball, and before he moved to the middle, Van Persie hit the goal sideways with a volley.
Cech is arguably one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and he didn't panic in this situation, as he did his best to reach out and intercept Van Persie's shot.
The ball wasn't too tricky or bocce off, but it was too close and too powerful, and before Cech could reach out his arm, the ball flew from Cech's side into the net.
1:1. Robin van Persie equalised for Arsenal.
Stamford Bridge was silent for a moment, neither the Chelsea fans nor the Arsenal fans were silent at the first time, and this beautiful goal shocked them, leaving all the fans open their mouths wide but speechless at the first time.
The time lasted less than 0.1 seconds, and then the Chelsea fans continued to fall silent as the Arsenal fans let out a loud shout like a flash flood and a hurricane across the grasslands, sweeping across the stadium in an instant.
"Hooray!"
"Long live Arsenal!"
"Long live Van Persie!"
"Long live Li Huan!"
"Long live Rosicky!"
The Arsenal players on the pitch were also excited, they scored a lot of goals, they saw a lot of beautiful goals. But they rarely see a goal like this one that combines individual performances and team cooperation.
Van Persie and Rosicky frantically rushed to Li Huan, the director behind this ball is Li Huan, he is the real hero. The Arsenal players ran to the trio and they were proud and honoured to belong to the same group.
The coaching staff and substitutes on the pitch were no exception, in the official game, the mood of the substitutes was very complicated, they were proud of their teammates' goals, but they were a little uncomfortable, because the team's goals and victories had little to do with them, they were just spectators, but at this moment they were excited by the ball, almost all the substitutes jumped off the bench, waved their arms fiercely at the stadium, at the Chelsea stands, and then hugged their coaches tightly.
Boas was dumbfounded, he was a rational coach, he only believed in the power of the group, and did not pay much attention to the role of the stars, in his opinion, football is a collective sport, and the stars, especially the big stars, will destroy the overall surname of the team, because they are too casual and do not listen to the coach's tactical arrangements, but today his philosophy was touched, because he saw a genius who was outside the whole and tactics.
"Li Huan! Is this so-called self-help? Villas-Boas shook his head, as if he still couldn't believe that the individual strength of the star could compete with the team as a whole.
After the Arsenal fans frantically celebrated the goal, everyone remembered the scene where Li Huan had just passed Luis, because everyone didn't see how Li Huan passed Luis, or how Luis suddenly became stupid.
They can't catch it with the naked eye, and they can only rely on the camera lens to tell them the answer.
Soon, the slow motion was played back, and everyone saw the picture of Li Huan passing the Chelsea central defender, it turned out that when Luis came to block, Li Huan made three movements at a very fast pace, pulling, and pushing, these three actions were too fast, and the amplitude was too small, no wonder the fans and reporters were unable to capture it, but it was impossible for Luis, who had been staring at Li Huan, not to see it, but he looked stupid, he didn't know what Li Huan was going to do, so he could only watch Li Huan pass by his side like the wind.
After watching the slow motion, the stadium burst into cheers again, this time even mixed in with some Chelsea fans.
Li Huan's actions transcend the limitations of human beings, and the fans also transcend the limitations of the team.
