Chapter Seventy-One: The Last ** (I)

'Now the pressure is on the home side of Arsenal and with 20 minutes or so left behind Chelsea by a goal and the game is completely in Chelsea's hands. At this time, Arsenal should be thinking about an equaliser rather than a win in this game. Obviously, it would be irrational to want to score two goals in a row in such a short period of time. Chelsea's defence is bound to be even more determined in the coming period. Once this Chelsea side concentrate on defending, it will not be easy for anyone to break down their defence, and many of Chelsea's opponents have already confirmed that before this game. Now is the time to test Arsenal's winning team, and a loss in this game would make it even more difficult for them to catch up with Chelsea in the table, and even cost them their hopes of winning the league title in the near future. Right now!! Will you continue to live, or will you be left behind?! Arsenal need to make a choice!! ”

As the commentators broke down the game, the Chelsea celebrations on the pitch ended with the referee's interference. When he walked back, Lao Lei saw Vieira with an unwilling face, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curved with pleasure. Obviously, this time Lao Lei broke through in such a beautiful way, which made the Arsenal meritorious captain a little embarrassed, and his angry eyes were full of fiery unwillingness. He vaguely felt that he himself was already faintly at a disadvantage in the competition with Lao Lei in this game. This was a big blow to him, who had always been full of confidence before the game.

However, as the captain of Arsenal. He quickly came to his senses and rubbed his face vigorously with his hands. Then his eyes and mental outlook changed. "I can lose, I can lose. But Arsenal can't do it, in this field, Arsenal can't lose, it's got to be us, boy. When Lao Lei walked by him, Vieira said to Lao Lei very firmly with a determined and determined look.

Vieira's demeanor made Lao Lei put away the smile on the corner of his mouth. From Vieira's expression, he felt the responsibility and statement that he should have as the leader of a team. For such Vieira. A hint of admiration suddenly rose in Lao Lei's heart, and in the Arsenal captain, he saw the shadow of Keane, the legendary captain of Manchester United. Although the captains of the two sworn enemies have always been-for-tat on the field, the so-called same-sex expulsion, even if they themselves may not admit it, but they do have the same characteristics in their bodies.

For such opponents, Lao Lei has always believed that they should be treated with the most serious attitude, which is a respect for them. It's also respect for yourself. It would be a pity if such an opponent was not treated well. 'I will win and Chelsea will win as well. Before the start of this game. I never thought about throwing anything away! Me and my team, we're going to win, because that's what I've always done! It's a habit!! ”

Drop that sentence. Ray then left Vieira alone and walked briskly towards the Chelsea half. Back in his place. By the time the game resumed, both sides had already received instructions from their respective coaches. Chelsea as the leading side. Naturally, he calmly retracted the formation and played a defensive counterattack. And Arsenal, as the lagging side, only has one way to survive with all its strength attacking.

Arsenal began to attack, putting in all their attacking personnel and launching a decisive attack on Chelsea. This immediately put a lot of pressure on Chelsea's defence. However, under pressure, there are naturally opportunities, and the weak Arsenal defence has given Chelsea's counter-attack the best opportunity to play. At this time, it depends on who can score another goal first, and who scores will basically determine the next trend of the game. This is already the most critical place and turning point of this game, and it depends on who can take the initiative here.

The situation on the field was as hot as boiling water for a while. In the 73rd minute of the second half, to the roar of the Arsenal fans, Arsenal launched a tidal wave of attacks against Chelsea's defence. The firepower of Arsenal, which was dragged into the attack with all its heart, was terrifying, and the Arsenal forward line with Thierry Henry and Bergkamp as the arrows once again showed its unique and gorgeous ground attack in front of the world.

Bergkamp once again had his back to the ball at the edge of the Chelsea penalty area, and behind him, Ray was already on the lookout. For this veteran, Lao Lei will no longer have the slightest slack. In this game, in the face of the defense of Lao Lei, Bergkamp adopted a very smart way to deal with it. Except for a few occasional times, he always adopted the method of cooperating with his teammates to deal with Lao Lei, and rarely took personal breakthroughs. This is to avoid his weaknesses in terms of age and explosiveness, and strengthen his advantages in terms of experience and technique.

This time, it was like this, after he got the ball, there was no pause, and he just stopped the ball back to Ljungberg on the side. Immediately after that, he himself turned and accelerated into the Chelsea penalty area. At this point, he was faced with Ljungberg's deft lob and return pass. This time, Lao Lei followed him firmly, constantly squeezing him with his body, not letting him handle the ball and stop the ball easily.

However, at this time, Bergkamp once again showed his superhuman handling of the ball. In the face of the incoming ball, without waiting for the football to land, he just stretched out his foot and kicked it back. He didn't stop the ball at all, and he just wanted to hand the ball back to Ljungberg, who cut in. There is no doubt that this is a very imaginative way of handling the ball. However, Lao Lei is not unprepared, after all, he is also the core of the organization, and he can somewhat guess Bergkamp's thoughts. From the perspective of empathy, he will also take this approach.

Although he couldn't completely block the pass, Lao Lei's sideways and outstretched feet still played a role. His toe touched Bergkamp's pass slightly, slightly changing the course of the ball. It was this one that caused problems for Ljungberg, who received the ball, and gave Makelele the opportunity to entangle him and prevent him from shooting directly. At this point, Ljungberg opted to shoot straight away, but his shot was blocked by Makelele, slowed down considerably, and was kicked out by Terry.

Unfortunately, the ball was cleared and the ball was flying high, but it was still within the Chelsea penalty area. Outside the box, Patrick Vieira had already set up the edge of the Chelsea box, and he got ahead of Frank Lampard to get the first shot and slot the ball back into the Chelsea box. This immediately caused a chaotic battle, and in the end, it was Henry who fished in troubled waters, grabbed this landing point, and directly shook his head at the goal.

However, the header was the world's weakness as his header was angled wide and easily picked up by a well-guarded Petr Cech to put an end to Arsenal's attack. This made the Arsenal fans, who had already stood up in the stands, sit down regretfully, and also saved the Chelsea fans in front of the TV. "What a pity! Thierry Henry missed the perfect opportunity to score a hat-trick and save the team again. Now he's missed that opportunity, but there's still time to play, so let's see if he can salvage this dangerous situation. ”

Arsenal's attack, although ferocious, but Chelsea's occasional counterattack can also make the entire Highbury break out in a cold sweat. In the 79th minute of the second half, at the edge of Chelsea's penalty area, Ray made a tackle on Bergkamp. He once again showed his super anticipation ability, seeing through Bergkamp's desire to turn his back and leak the ball past him, he directly closed his legs tightly and kept the football behind.

Then, he directly ran forward with the ball for a few steps, and then directly launched a long counterattack. This time, Lao Lei's weird long pass really made the entire Highbury break out in a cold sweat. A half-high ball with the outside of the instep is passed directly over a long distance, and the football is like a missile launched, which is precisely guided. The precise outside arc went straight past Gilberto and Toure in the passing lanes and went directly behind Arsenal's twin centre-backs. It's a very difficult and dangerous long pass, but the greater the risk, the greater the benefit.

Just like this time, the football was directly inserted into Toure's toe and flew in front of Drogba, who was accelerating at full speed. "Fantastic pass! Super Pass!! God, the entire Arsenal defense line has been broken through like this, this is simply an arc that only a computer can draw!! Opportunity! Opportunity!! Chance to kill, Didier Edrogba! He's got the football, single-handedly! … Spike! He shook the west and shot!! Yes! Vieira! Vieira!! The captain of Arsenal, at the most opportune time, showed up where his team needed him the most! Great Vieira! He saved the suspense of the game!! Arsenal are alive!! ”

Lao Lei held his head and looked at Vieira with some pity, who was still lying on the pitch in the front court. Although it was far away, he still seemed to be able to see Vieira's violently undulating chest, and he could feel the pleasure of burning his chest. "What a pity! But it's even more fun!! Putting down his hands holding his head, Lao Lei whispered meaningfully. In his tone and eyes, there was a blazing battle intent. He felt like he was about to boil, and even the inside of his bones was hot!!

Vieira's save kept the game in suspense. It's a pity that time will not stand still, it is already the 80th minute of the game, and there are still 10 minutes left in the game.

The final climax has arrived!

On the Arsenal bench, a young Spanish talent has risen and Arsene Wenger is ready to make a last-ditch effort.

Lao Lei wiped the beads of sweat on his cheeks and shouted something in his heart.

"Come on! Come on!! Come on!!! (To be continued......)
