Chapter Seventy-Three: The Last ** (II) That's what Lao Tzu wants!
'Time is running out for Arsenal and they have to do something about it, but obviously Chelsea won't let them do it easily. Remaia is still off the pitch, being improvised by the Chelsea team doctor. Obviously, his move has given Chelsea a huge morale boost, and looking at their defence now, even if they are only 10 men at the moment, Arsenal still can't find or create a great opportunity. Arsene Wenger on the sidelines was in a rare spot, pacing back and forth anxiously. He is clearly well aware of what this defeat means for Arsenal as they lose the pressure on Chelsea at the top of the table. When chasers can't put enough pressure on the leaders, that's often when they're going to be left behind. Time, damn time, at this time, has become Arsenal's worst enemy. ”
When Lao Lei returned to the field after emergency treatment, Arsenal still did not equalize, and the time had come to the 86th minute of the game, leaving Arsenal with only 8 minutes at most. In such a situation, Arsene Wenger once again took a risk, with Reyes coming on to replace West Gang and changing Arsenal's formation to 3-4-3 to continue to strengthen the attack and try to make a last-ditch effort.
The talented Spanish midfielder who joined from Sevilla in Spain during the summer transfer period, although he was not accustomed to the phenomenon of adaptation in the Premier League, his form was very sluggish, and the lack of physical confrontation ability has also become the biggest obstacle to his development in the Premier League. However, his excellent footwork, penetrating and imaginative passing ability will still be a valuable tool for Arsenal as they try to break the deadlock.
And Reyes' arrival was immediate. The increase in attackers in the front field has made Arsenal's attacking firepower rise again. Though. This was brought about by the weakness of the defensive line at the back, but by this time. Arsene Wenger and Arsenal are not in a position to take that into account. At this time, scoring goals is more important than defense, and without goals, no matter how good the defense is, it will not work.
At the same time, Cesc Fabregas also began to calm down after a few minutes of brain fever, no longer thinking about old Ray, but honestly fulfilling his duties on the field. Obviously, he also knew. At this time, if he is obsessed with the battle between himself and Lao Lei, it will be a great obstacle for the team to score goals. And he has also realized that he can't compete with Lao Lei now. He is mature beyond his peers, and it is evident at this moment, and when it is time to let go, he decisively lets go without the slightest hesitation.
In such a situation, Arsenal's attacking group has reached a terrible point, and there is no doubt that this is one of the top attacking groups in the world. Coupled with the desperate momentum of the Arsenal players, Chelsea's defence could not be better. I've also felt the pressure. In such a situation, Lao Lei also honestly stayed in his defensive position, obviously he no longer had the extra energy to step forward to assist, and the defensive end had attracted all his energy.
This time. Chelsea were also quick to respond, with the entire formation dropping back into their own half. Among them, Frank Lampard completely retreated to the side of Ray and Claude Makelele, playing Chelsea's third midfield. Chelsea were completely on the counter-attack. And Robben, Duff and Drogba are the counter-attacking arrows of this formation. Although it lacks Lao Lei's centering scheduling. The counterattack combination of the three of them may not be so varied. It's hard to predict. But their speed and strength alone are more than enough to deal with the Arsenal defence on the pitch today. 3-4-3 vs. 4-3-3, the duel between Chelsea and Arsenal came to a final minute.
In the 88th minute of the second half, Arsenal's attacking group played a dizzying attacking combination against Chelsea's dense defence. Thierry Henry, Bergkamp, Ljungberg, Reyes, Pire, Patrick Vieira and Cesc Fabregas, these seven Arsenal players were involved in the attack, and the seven players continued to kick the ball, coupled with dazzling running and pulling, Chelsea's defense suddenly felt an unstoppable momentum.
At this time, even Lao Lei felt a lot of pressure. Arsenal have too many points of attack and receivers up front, and each of them has an excellent ability to be directly involved in attacking and passing. So when these dots are connected, it gives people a feeling that they can't be prevented, and the mercury is pouring out. No matter how good Lao Lei's single defense ability is, it is useless at this time, after all, he is not Sun Dasheng yet, and he can conjure up countless monkeys.
In the end, by the time Bergkamp, Reyes and Cesc Fabregas combined three consecutive aerial passes, Chelsea's defence was completely disrupted. In particular, when Cesc Fabregas's final volley reached Thierry Henry's feet in the Chelsea penalty area, Chelsea's defence was completely breached. The dazzling and fast passing completely made the thinking of Chelsea's defenders unable to keep up, leading to the current situation of falling behind one step and falling behind step by step.
At this time, Lao Lei had already retreated to the door. His idea is that since I can't block your advance, then I'll block your end. No matter how unpredictable and unpredictable the process is, the end line will never change, and that is the door of Chelsea. When Henry pulled back and let Terry make the final block, he fired a powerful volley over his right heel.
There's only so much Petr Cech can do with a powerful volley from this distance. Although he tried his best to spread his body, he was a step slower after all, and the ball flew quickly past his fingertips and ran to the back point. Just as the Arsenal fans were about to stand and cheer, the figure they hated most was once again in time for Chelsea to appear. Henry's shot was angled from the far post, which would have been a perfect finish, but at this time, it made it easier for Ray to block the goalline.
With his hands folded and his feet killed, with such a posture and his tall figure, Lao Lei almost firmly blocked the entry line in the far corner. Of course, if Henry's foot could find the top corner of the far post, it would be useless for Ray to try harder. But alas, no. Henry's shot was a half-high ball. The height is also up to Lao Lei's thigh, which is within the blocking range of Lao Lei.
And the result. Sure enough, with a bang, the football hit Lao Lei's thigh and popped up. On goal, Ray once again saved Chelsea's victory. That's not the end of it, though. "Henry! Shot!! Oh God, Reima saved Chelsea again! He saved Chelsea at the last minute!! No! It's not over yet, Ljungberg! Ljungberg!! Rushing in, will there be a follow-up goal!!? ”
After being stopped by Lao Lei's thigh. The ball bounced high and returned to goal. At this point, Arsenal's left midfielder, unsuspecting Gallas, rushed into the penalty area at great speed, squeezed in front of Carvalho and rushed towards the falling ball. At this point, Cech has not yet gotten up, and as long as Ljungberg can finish the shot, it will be almost an empty goal. And no matter how magical Lao Lei is, he can't block Arsenal's shots one after another at this moment, after all, he can't use his hands.
In such a situation, Lao Lei hurriedly shot forward with an arrow. Then he turned around and blocked Ljungberg's path with his body. At this point, he knew he was going to face a powerful onslaught from Ljungberg. Although Ljungberg is not as strong as Lao Lei, he is a main player of a Premier League giant. The strength is never weak, it is enough to put pressure on Lao Lei. What's more, after adding a certain sprint speed.
Because of this, when Lao Lei is preparing to receive the ball, he will definitely be affected by Ljungberg's impact, so whether Lao Lei can stop firmly and control the football has become the most critical factor. He knows that several of Arsenal's attacking lines must be rushing towards him, and any mistake in handling the ball this time will cause great danger to Chelsea's door, and there is no room for sloppiness.
At this time, in Lao Lei's mind, countless ways to handle the ball flashed, all of which were vetoed by him one by one. Pushing out of the baseline, kicking out the sideline, and even using hooks to clear the siege, but he didn't take any of that. Because he couldn't be sure that when his body and technical movements were hit by Ljungberg, there would be a fatal accident. Because, his position at this time is on the small penalty area line in the middle of the goal, where it is most likely to have oolongs and fatal mistakes.
Suddenly, he thought of the ball sense bonus that the Devil Muscle Man had brought him today, and he quickly made a decision. With a dull thud, the high-speed Ljungberg finally hit Lao Lei's back. At this time, Rao is old Lei has the bonus of the devil's flesh and blood, and he is also stumbling for a while, and his body is unstable. And at this moment, the football finally fell and came to the top of Lao Lei's head.
At this moment, the excellent ball sense has become the key to Lao Lei's handling of the ball this time. In the case of unstable body, Lao Lei stubbornly stopped the football and stopped on the top of his head. Once, twice, Lao Lei just raised his head like this, and while using his head to turn the football, he began to accelerate and turn around and walk outside the penalty area. At this moment, all the Arsenal players were dumbfounded and didn't know what to do. They knew that as long as they collided with Lao Lei's body at this time, it would be a proper foul. What's more, the collision may not be hit, and the excellent ball sense allows Lao Lei at this time to flexibly do some simple acceleration and deceleration actions.
"Oh roar, what is this?! What is it?!! Is this a sea lion?! Are we at the amusement park?!! If you look at the Arsenal players, there is absolutely nothing they can do, they have no way to stop Reima from defusing this crisis. What a genius way to handle the ball! I'm afraid that except for Reima, no defender rushed in front of his own door and cleared the siege in this way!! This is crazy!!! It's crazy!!! ”
When Lao Lei passed the football big foot to the feet of Robben in the front court amid the boos of the Arsenal fans in the stadium, he completely defused Arsenal's threatening offensive.
When he turned his head, he was greeted by Henry, Bergkamp, Ljungberg, Reyes, Pire...... These names, at this moment, are his backdrop!
At this moment, Lao Lei is extremely cool!!
Maradona, shame those top defenders, that's great!
Lao Lei, let these top offensive stars frustrate, this is called adding blockage!!
And there is no doubt that he prefers this !!
For him, as long as he can see the helpless faces of these top players, 10 beautiful goals will not be changed!
Because, he likes this, likes this the most, and makes others unhappy!
Aside from winning, that's the thing that makes him happiest in football!!
Facing them, Lao Lei stretched out his hands, shrugged his shoulders, pouted, and had a proper helpless expression.
Plus the smugness in his eyes.
For Lao Lei, what more do you want?!
"That's what Lao Tzu wants!!" (To be continued......)
