Qin Xiong's backheel ball earned Vieira the applause of the Arsenal fans, who were proud of Arsenal playing the most beautiful football in the Premier League.

Qin Xiong, who was appointed by Wenger as the successor of Bergkamp, took over the mantle of Bergkamp in terms of football style very well, and their characteristics are not exactly the same, but they have similar places in the display of small skills, and they can see the same delicate and dexterous shadow.

Qin Xiong has Bergkamp's agile shadow this time, and the running impact after passing is completely his own personal style.

Patrick Vieira strode into the danger zone from 40 yards in front of PSV Eindhoven.

Vogel and Kocu were in a tight battle, Qin Xiong ran to the right at this time, and when he was passing Kocu, Vieira passed the ball to the outside of Qin Xiong's body, so that Koku could not form an interception.

Qin Xiong did not stop the ball, and flicked the ball with the outside instep, and the trajectory of the football rolling changed, rolling to the feet of Ljungberg, who was closer to the side.

Then Qin Xiong changed the running line and hit the baseline directly, the veteran Coku was thrown off in Qin Xiong's running direction, and Ljungberg's through ball also arrived as scheduled.

Qin Xiong, who ran straight into the penalty area from the side, easily stepped into the penalty area.

Hiddink watched from the sidelines!

Arsenal has been playing on the left side before, which has made PSV Eindhoven's defense habitually leaning to the left, although this time Arsenal suddenly played on the right side and instinctively adjusted, but it was still slow!

It stands to reason that Qin Xiong should not have stepped into the penalty area so lightly, even if he was close to the inside of the edge of the penalty area and could control the ball in the penalty area. It's dangerous!

Li Rongpyo was engrossed in keeping up with Qin Xiong's rhythm. He knows he has a lot of gaps with the centre-backs. On the one hand, if Arsenal has players running behind him, will Qin Xiong send a wonderful pass?

On the other hand, it is very difficult to restrict Qin Xiong one-on-one!

Last season in the Netherlands, Qin Xiong made him suffer a lot, and he also made a big ugly!

Qin Xiong's rhythm slowed down, and he broke through in the direction of the bottom line, Li Rongpyo took a step diagonally to block and follow, but saw Qin Xiong suddenly stop the ball in place with his right foot, Li Rongpyo tried his best to restrain the urge to grab his foot. He knew that if he stepped forward, he would inevitably be passed by Qin Xiong.

But he didn't expect that after Qin Xiong's rhythm of stopping the ball with his right foot paused, he suddenly flicked the ball forward with his left foot, and then started the explosive acceleration again.

Even though Li Rongpyo was sober, his body could not keep up with the rhythm of thinking, and at the moment he paused, there was a gap between his legs, and Qin Xiong's left foot plucked the ball. It was to pass the ball under his crotch!

I was worn through the crotch!

It was already too late for Li Rongpyo to turn around and go to the card position, and Qin Xiong was almost in a parallel position. And at the moment of physical contact between the two sides, Li Rongbi was shocked: this kid's physical confrontation is stronger than before!

Seeing that he was about to be erased by Qin Xiong, Li Rongpyo lost his composure, and he planned to tackle the ball to destroy the football that was slowly rolling behind him.

However, he forgot that Qin Xiong was engaged in a physical confrontation with him, and when his body's center of gravity changed to complete the tackle, Qin Xiong's confrontation had the absolute upper hand.

Li Rongpyo originally thought that his feet could touch the ball, but after Qin Xiong took the initiative to squeeze him and overtake him one step ahead, his tackle action could not play its due effect at all, and his toes could not reach the football, but could only hook Qin Xiong's calf!

Qin Xiong did not fall to the ground for the first time, but staggered forward two steps before falling, and the football was kicked away by Baoma, and at this moment, the referee's whistle sounded!

PSV Eindhoven will turn their heads to look at the referee and suddenly be hit like a bolt from the blue.

Because the referee with a cold face raised his hand and pointed to the penalty spot in the PSV Eindhoven penalty area!

"Penalty! Arsenal win a penalty! This is a penalty kick obtained by Qin Xiong who broke through Li Rongpyo in the penalty area to create a tackle foul on the opponent! Let's take a look at the replay, Qin Xiong skillfully used the crotch pass after the pause in the rhythm of dribbling to successfully break through Li Rongpyo, Li Rongpyo turned to tackle, but hooked Qin Xiong's leg, there is no doubt that this is a penalty, and there is no problem with the referee's decision! ”

When the Gunners fans in Highbury were cheering, Qin Xiong was pulled up by Henry, Van Bommel went to the referee to protest, Li Rongbi himself did not have any complaints, he knew what he had just done, and this penalty was not unjust at all!

Thierry Henry took the penalty with ease.

After the goal, the Arsenal players celebrated in a low-key manner.

Hiddink was sinking on the sidelines, helpless at the goal.

Arsene Wenger excitedly clenched his hands into fists and swung them up and down in front of him.

Home first!

The game shape shì will be more beneficial to Arsenal.

I don't know if it's because of the impact of the FIFA match day, plus he just played a Premier League game a few days ago, Qin Xiong feels that the form of his teammates has declined, and it is difficult to continue a good form for a long time.

After 35 minutes of the first half, the Arsenal players tacitly began to slow down.

Qin Xiong could only slow down with his teammates, probably because everyone wanted to get a physical buffer at halftime.

PSV Eindhoven are not in better form than Arsenal when they play away from home, they are always led by the nose by Arsenal and are completely unable to take the initiative in the game.

Without risking a full press, PSV Eindhoven has nothing to do.

The first half ended with Arsenal leading 1-0.

Back in the dressing room, Arsene Wenger praised his team's first-half watch.

He didn't make any more tactical tweaks, he was a bit like Koeman, he didn't make any more changes to the team on the spot, he wanted the team to be unpredictable and creative with the core of the tactical philosophy.

Soccer is more difficult than other sports in that it's almost impossible to apply the fixed coordination pattern of repetitive training in training to the game, like in a basketball game, the head coach holds a tactical board and tells the players who passes the ball to whom, who is going to run, what kind of tactical coordination to play, football is impossible, because there is more space, there are more players, and the feet are used, rather than the more flexible, controlled and precise hands.

Most of the offensive creations on the football field come from improvisation, which is the hardest!

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

PSV PSV Eindhoven have stepped up their pressing in midfield, but they still can't solve one problem: more people are on the defensive, fewer people are attacking, and even if they are successful in defending, how to improve the efficiency of the attack?

Heselink's lone in the front line, even if PSV Eindhoven successfully defended in the midfield, it was difficult for football to reach Heselink's feet!

PSV Eindhoven's defence learned the lessons of the first half, with the backline waking up, moving more often laterally, focusing on the distance of the overall joint defence, and trying to compress the space for Arsenal to create a local tear apart.

This has greatly hampered Arsenal's attack.

It can be said that Arsenal's attack is affected by the space factor, a striker like Henry, if he is not given space to rush, his power will be difficult to play, and without a forward to drive the opponent to turn back to the defense, the effect of ground passing will be greatly reduced.

Qin Xiong can ensure that Arsenal's attack moves forward unimpeded in the midfield, but when it comes to the front line of the attacking end, their players will be targeted by the opponent! Thus curbing Arsenal's offensive.

Park Ji-sung was severely criticized by Hiddink at halftime!

It's not that he didn't defend aggressively and wasn't good enough, but from the 45 minutes of the first half, his fighting spirit is commendable.

But Hiddink's words woke up the dreamer!

"Your task is not just to defend the Chinese! If you only need to defend on the pitch, you won't be in the starting lineup! ”

It dawned on Park Ji-sung that he had focused too much on Qin Xiong, even if he had a defensive success in uniting with his teammates.

But so what?

What does it stand for?

He defeated Qin Xiong?

Did you help the team build an edge?

No!

Qin Xiong is an offensive player, an offensive player can fail, many failures, as long as he succeeds once, he is a hero!

Just like Qin Xiong was fouled by Lee Young-pyo in the penalty area and won a penalty for Arsenal, his credit can completely cancel out all his mistakes!

And Park Ji-sung's position, the role he plays, PSV Eindhoven needs him to contribute, not just defense!

He needs to create better attacking opportunities for the team!

Qin Xiong is like a demon in his heart, making Park Ji-sung think that he is doing the right thing, but in fact he is clearly off the right track. (To be continued......)
