"John? Terry, is it John? John Terry returned to goal in time to use his body to keep Bergkamp's shot out of the line and it was a crucial clearance. Terry became the savior of the Red Rebels in this moment! ”

All the Red Rebels fans cheered for Terry's brave act of sacrificing their lives to block the gun's hole!

In the VIP box, Xiao Yu was obviously relieved, he had to admit that he almost scared his heart out just now, and he was still in shock for the rest of his life.

"The Red Rebels are really tenacious, Mr. Xiao Yu!" Prince Charles laughed.

Xiao Yu smiled slightly, if he was given a choice, he would rather not be so tenacious in exchange for the team pressing Arsenal to play!

"From the field point of view, Arsenal played very open after the opening, and the attack was more about Henry, but Curtis, who was responsible for marking Henry, was too young and inexperienced, if he was a calm veteran, he would not have been deceived by Henry just now!"

An FA official who was accompanying him explained with a smile.

Since Prince Charles's father and son decided to award the FA Cup championship trophy, the FA attached great importance to it, especially at the request of Prince Charles, invited Xiao Yu and Eva? Snow accompanied him, and at the same time arranged for two senior FA officials to greet him.

"Despite his youth, Curtis will definitely be the best centre-back in England in the future!" Prince Harry has a crush on this young player who is about his age.

Xiao Yu also agrees with this, but he must admit that Curtis's growth requires experience, and this experience has both success and failure, and the Red Rebels must enjoy the fruits of Curtis's success while also bearing the consequences of his failure.

The problem is, hopefully Curtis will not play aberrantly in this kind of key name game!

…………………… Jose Mourinho waved at John Terry from the sidelines, signaling the backline not to give the opposition so much space, allowing De Rossi and Essien to drop back a little and run more and take on more responsibility for the defence.

At least in the first 10 minutes, it is not difficult to see from Arsenal's several attacks that Wenger is the idea of playing Curtis, that is, to let Henry kill Curtis.

Henry's skills are excellent, very fast, the frequency of action is also very fast, there are a lot of feints, and the ability to one-on-one is very strong, so it is impossible to keep an eye on Henry alone, and it is difficult for Curtis to defend against Henry alone.

Jose Mourinho's purpose in tightening the space at the back is to hope, Colo? Toure can help Curtis, while Essien will be able to take on more of the right side of the defense, at least pinning down Pire and Ashley? Cole.

Arsenal's right Ljungberg didn't show much after the opening and didn't look particularly excited, but he and Bergkamp are the kind of players who can kill them if they give them a little space, as Bergkamp's goalmouth shot just now proved!

If it weren't for Terry's savior at the juncture of the crisis, the Red Rebels would have fallen behind long ago!

To put it bluntly, Mourinho relied most on the defense on the right side of the team in this game, so he replaced a winger and added a back midfielder, just to block the right side, according to the current situation, Henry still got a lot of opportunities.

It's dangerous!

However, if Arsenal's attack on the left can be limited, then Arsenal will no longer be so terrible!

"As long as we can hold on, guys, we can win!"

That's what Mourinho said when he set up his tactics in the dressing room.

In this game, he is going to play defensive counterattack, and everyone expected him to play defensive counterattack, the key question is, whether Arsenal can break through the defense of the Red Rebels, and whether the Red Rebels can limit Arsenal's attack again, and counterattack successfully!

…………………… Curtis, in a down-to-the-ground tackle, shoveled the ball that Pire's pass to Henry to nearby Colo? Toure then quickly stood up and set his eyes on Henry, who had almost broken through him.

When Henry walked past Curtis, there was an appreciative look in his eyes, Curtis's tackle just now was very resolute, very decisive, but also dangerous, if the tackle failed, then Henry was a single knife again.

In such an important game, in this kind of heaven and hell thought, Curtis's judgment was so resolute and decisive.

This is a very nice guy! Henry thought to himself!

As Curtis gradually got into the groove, he became more and more calm, and he began to follow the pre-game manager's arrangement, first thinking about destroying the ball passed to Henry, and once he couldn't break it, then occupy the position, not let him face the goal, not easy to kick, not confused by his feints.

Meanwhile, Essien leaned to the right, and Colo? Toure assisted from the side, making Henry, Pire, Ashley? Cole's attack on the left was gradually stopped by the Red Rebels.

Especially Henry, the Frenchman who had an eye-catching opening performance, as Curtis's more and more calm performance, his performance was also curbed, and Essien's running at all costs his physical strength frequently cut off the connection between Pire and Henry, and several passes were also judged and destroyed by Curtis in advance.

Henry began to pull outside frequently to answer, obviously wanting to see if Curtis would follow, but Curtis chose the formation very sensibly, because when he got outside, it was Essien who entangled Henry.

Paloor and Gilberto? Silva's central midfield combination is very defensive, but it is not enough to support the attacking end, and Arsene Wenger also saw the shortcomings of the back line before the game, so they can take more care of the defense.

........................ "Arsenal's attack in this game is undoubtedly borrowed from the wing, but from the opening nearly half an hour, Arsenal's most powerful left side has been contained, although there are several chances, but they are not good opportunities, it is difficult to face the goal directly, and Ljungberg on the right side is obviously not in shape. ”

"On the other hand, the Red Rebels, who were pressed by Arsenal in the opening half hour, but their defense became more and more solid, but the team's original attack that was well received by the fans was not played for a long time, I looked at the data, and in the opening half an hour, the Red Rebels only had 1 shot on goal, or a long-range shot from outside the penalty area."

Martin? Taylor also has his own set of opinions on this.

"It's no wonder, Andy, everyone knows that Arsenal is strong, the strength of the Red Rebels is undoubtedly very strong, but it is not strong enough to destroy Arsenal, they are based on defense in this game, I believe that with the setback of Arsenal's attack, the Red Rebels' offensive will gradually fight!"

Seems to be to corroborate Martin? Taylor's words, and the scene soon appeared on the scene of the Red rebels counterattacking.

Was it Essien's beautiful tackle on Ashley? Cole's dribbling is passed to Kaka in the middle, and Kaka breaks through quickly with the ball!

'Kaka was very fast with the ball, he crossed the midfield all at once, and he faced Gilberto, a team-mate of the Brazilian national team? Silva's defense, Kaka once had a beautiful ball past Gilberto! ”

"It's so beautiful, Kaka is a player with very simple skills, but he relies on this simple change of speed and uses the most basic skills to pass people, and this way of passing people is often the easiest way to succeed." Andy? Gray exclaimed.

"In the face of Keown's defense, Kaka cleverly stuffed the ball behind him, David? Villa suddenly accelerated, pushed the ball into the near corner before Luyani, and the ball went in! ”

But at the moment when Villa's goal was about to celebrate, the referee's whistle also sounded, blowing that Villa's goal was offside!

"Offside?" Andy? Gray was a little puzzled, "Judging from the slow motion, Villa's position at that time can be said to be offside, but it is okay to say that it is not offside, but the referee's judgment is obviously offside!" ”

"Hehe, the Red Rebels players chased the referee and signaled that the ball just now was a beautiful anti-offside, but the referee kept shaking his head, indicating that the goal was an indisputable offside goal, so the goal was invalid!"

"Mourinho looked very angry on the sidelines, his team was pressed by Arsenal for half an hour, and finally used a counterattack to sink Arsenal, but he didn't expect to be blown offside by the referee!"

Martin? Taylor smiled bitterly: "On the football field, the referee is the biggest!" ”

"That's right, Martin, the Red Rebels can only accept it, but judging from this counterattack, the Red Rebels are very resolute, that is, to use speed to destroy Arsenal's decrepit defense, so Mourinho even gave up Drogba's strong center, and instead used David, who is faster and more capable personally? Villa. ”

'Yes, Villa is a very skilled, very sensitive nose in front of goal and very fast, so I'm sure it will be a big test for the centre-backs of Lucheni and Keown!' Martin? Taylor laughed.

He was clearly happy to see the Red Rebels' strikers torment Arsenal's centre-backs!

"It's also a warning to Arsene Wenger that the Red Rebels' counterattack is so sharp and so fast, he should make changes as soon as possible, just like Mourinho just did, and find a way to contain the Red Rebels' counterattack!"

When the game restarted, Seaman played a short ball to Lauren on the right, apparently hoping that the right side of the team would also be able to play, but Ljungberg was clearly out of form, and just past midfield, De Rossi fiercely shoveled the ball out of bounds, and he also fell to the ground.

This time the referee was clear that no foul was awarded to De Rossi, which was a beautiful defence, and Ljungberg lay on the ground for a while and got back on his feet, his leg injury healed, but it still left some shadow on him.

Arsene Wenger on the sidelines still seemed very calm, but Mourinho nearby frequently gave the team the latest instructions, and his most requested was undoubtedly to be more efficient and play smarter when counter-attacking.

Because as Arsenal's attack was contained, the Red Rebels had more opportunities to counterattack, but except for the goal that had just been blown away by Villa, several counterattacks by the Red Rebels failed to form a threat, especially Hleb's close shot, which was saved by Seaman like a god.

Now the situation between the two sides is clear, the Red Rebels are holding firmly, Arsenal are attacking steadily, and then it will be up to who can break the opponent's goal earlier, and judging from the course of the game on the field, this suspense is also entangled with every fan in the field and in front of the TV.

Everyone knows that the side that scores the first goal will take the initiative on the field, after all, this is a final, whether it is Arsenal or the Red Rebels, the price of conceding the first goal is to be led by the nose of the other side, and this is undoubtedly very passive in the competition between the two teams.
