Chapter 180: The ups and downs of the first half

Boban was preparing to complete the turn while receiving the ball. The training camp at Leiden East this summer made Boban feel very satisfied, because Xiao Ming handed him the core position of the midfield organization. When counterattacking, he was the first point of the player who took the ball, and when attacking the position, he also handed the ball to him to organize it. This means that as long as Boban's physical condition allows, he will definitely be the main force - this is what AC Milan cannot give him. Although Boban is excellent, there are too many stars in AC Milan, and he cannot guarantee the main position in AC Milan - this is one of the reasons why he agreed to come to Leiden East.

After receiving the ball, they turned around. The former Yugoslavia's players were very good at skills. Former South football could compete with super strong teams such as Brazil, Argentina, Italy, and Germany. If it were not for social unrest and various factors of national division, they would definitely be among the top in Europe. You should know that the former Yugoslavia, like the Netherlands, is the arsenal of mainstream European leagues. I wonder how many geniuses have gone out from here to shine in the leagues of various countries.

Boban is of course one of the best. Former Yugoslavia has always had a tradition of excellent attacking midfielders. It is the most basic element to consider the next move while catching the ball.

Boban turned around and Petit's feet arrived. Fortunately, Boban was prepared for it. In the World Cup, he fought with the blonde French midfielder. With a flexibly ripped under his feet, he dodged Petit's feet.

After dodging Petit, Boban did not dribble the ball and continued to move forward. Arsenal had more than one Petit with two back midfielders. Although Vieira only played once in the World Cup, it was only because Deschamps and Petit were more experienced. No matter how confident Boban was, he did not think he could get rid of these two Frenchmen alone, and immediately passed the ball to Jinklaze on the left.

After Jinklaze received the ball, Lungberg rushed over. Although the 21-year-old man had just entered the Premier League, he was not at all nervous. Judging from his pounce, he seemed to be trying to eat Jinklaze alive.

Jinklaze skillfully kicked the ball back, but the speed didn't look fast, but he just happened to trick Ryomberg's legs, then dribbled the ball and broke through to the middle. Ryomberg, who was thrown away, chased after him without any wits. In addition to luck, Wenger also admired his spirit of not admitting defeat on the court.

Jin Klaze didn't seem to notice the danger behind him. He is now facing the opponent's defender Dixon. In the last game of last season, Kim Klaze used his outstanding skills to make the two long-famous defenders Dixon and Keon lose face. Can he do this this time?

Just when he was about to catch up with Jinklaze, Lungberg happened to see Jinklaze push the ball outward and dodge Dixon's foot outward. As an old guard in his thirties, Dixon certainly would not make any foot so easily. Dixon, facing Jinklaze, could see that Lungberg was chasing from Jinklaze's outside line. That stretch was to lure Jinklaze to push the ball outward!

Seeing the ball rolling out, Yongbery was about to poke the ball off, but he didn't seem to notice that Jinklaze, who had never noticed that Yongbery's left foot suddenly bounced his left instep and bounced the ball towards the sideline with force!

Loneberg, who was unable to reach his feet again, watched a figure jump from the front line at high speed, and received this pass from Jinklaze. It was Daniel who assisted in the frontcourt!

Wenger's eyebrows jumped - in the last game, Leiden East's two full-backs basically did not cross the midfield...

"Follow the goal!" Ximan loudly directed the defense line in front of him. Although this defense line is already old, the defense of positional battles is still first-class in the Premier League!

Daniel looked up at the situation in the penalty area, and then resolutely made a cross!

Arsenal's defenders focused on watching Jankoler, who was the most threatening in this situation, Phillips circling in the penalty area, and Boban, who was preparing to take over at the front of the penalty area, but Daniel's cross fell directly to the back point!

Glenshare's short-distance sprinting speed completely exploded at this moment. With two big strides, Winterben, who had old arms and legs, was thrown behind him, and faced the falling ball and shot directly with his left foot!

The extremely difficult shot was controlled very exquisitely. The ball quickly flew towards the goal. Although Ximan's hand touched the ball, the ball that flew slightly upward still plunged into the goal!

"goooooooooal! Yespe - Glenshare! A wonderful volley! In just two minutes of the game, Leiden East scored the first goal! It was amazing! But if you investigate the recent confrontation between Leiden East and Arsenal, you can see that Leiden East defeated Arsenal in the last two times and did not lose a goal! If they can keep the record of unconfiscations, then they can win again in this game!"

After scoring the goal, Glenshare rushed to the sidelines excitedly and shouted at the stands, while the fans of Leiden East extended their arms to cheer for him!

Xiao Ming waved his fist vigorously, looked at the crazy look of the fans in the stands and laughed happily.

In the memories of his previous life, Glenshare was not a top player, but he was quite popular in his years at Chelsea. I have to say that players who are as fast as him, run like the wind on the court, and can play one or two world waves from time to time, which is quite in line with the appetite of English fans.

Wenger on the other side couldn't help but take a slap in the lawn - he was fooled by that kid again! Although Leiden Dongfang's goal was also completed through counterattack, but unlike the last counterattack, there were only three or four people. In the counterattack just now, in addition to Daniel coming forward to assist, Sun Jihai on the other side also came up to assist, and seven of the eleven players on the field rushed through the half-time - what kind of defensive tactic is this?

Maybe, this kid will fight us in this game! Has his confidence expanded to this point?

Unfortunately, Wenger guessed it right.

After the game started again, Leiden Oriental changed the silly and obscene style of playing last season's FA Cup final and began to play against Arsenal with a concise attack. Boban's organization in the middle made Leiden Oriental's two wings extremely smooth. Daniel and Sun Jihai also took turns to attack, and the fast and clear rhythm also made the fans in the stands quite enjoyable - English fans like to watch this fast-paced attack, and it is obvious that this style of play is very consistent with their aesthetic views.

Even the commentator had to exclaim: "I think those who watched the FA Cup final last season would not think that Leiden East on the court was the Leiden East who had less than 30% of the ball possession time in the game, with only six shots but scored two goals... At that time, we commented that this Leiden East was like an Italian team, but now, who can say such things?"

Wenger's face on the sidelines was very serious. He could see that Borgkamp was not in good condition, and like Petit and Ovemas were in average. They were both players who participated in the World Cup and played for seven games. It was normal for them to be in poor condition. Although the opponent's Boban and Deselli were in average, Boban was only responsible for passing the ball, Deselli was only responsible for defense, and all other physical work was left to the other energetic young players in Leiden East. Obviously, Leiden East had an advantage in physical fitness.

However, Wenger still believes that these players who participated in the World Cup are very important part of Arsenal. At the same time, he also believes that in such a situation where both sides have many opportunities, Arsenal, with more experienced, has a stronger ability to seize opportunities!

His trust in the players was rewarded. When the game reached 31 minutes, both sides were wasted many opportunities. Although Leiden Oriental had many opportunities to attack in front of Arsenal, his final shot was a little impatient.

Jankoler leaned against Keon near the penalty spot. After receiving Boban's straight pass, he turned around and shot the ball, but was blocked by Adams who rushed over from the side. Phillips followed up with his quick preparation to hit again, but Adams kicked the ball out in advance.

Vieira got the ball, stretched out her long legs and passed it to Petit beside her, then rushed forward and threw away Boban's defense. Petit immediately passed the ball to him, a beautiful two-pass one.

Seeing that Marklele had blocked his way, Vieira immediately stretched out her leg and passed the ball to Orvemas' feet.

Sun Jihai wanted to start the ball in advance, but Ovemas, who had been running less aggressively since the beginning of the game, suddenly broke out, blocking Sun Jihai, who was ten centimeters taller than him with a big stride. After receiving the ball, he quickly turned around and threw Sun Jihai away!

Being able to get rid of Sun Jihai so easily, Ovemas's previous sluggish performance obviously played a big role. Sun Jihai was thrown away without concentration. Although he was chasing him hard, he could only look at Orvemas's back and become smaller and smaller in his own field of vision...

Glenshare was also back at high speed, but this distance was obviously not enough to catch up with Orvemas.

After reaching the bottom line in one breath, Ovemas immediately stepped on the ball and passed it into the penalty area. He did not pass the ball to Borgkamp at the front point, but directly passed it to the back point, where Nigerian striker Kanu was waiting for his cross.

Hypia and Kanu were competing for headers. Although Kanu was 1.97 meters tall, Hypia was not guilty at all. Except for his height of more than 1.9 meters, everyone on earth knew that although Kanu was tall, he was so thin that he was not much fatter than a bamboo pole, and his heading ability was so weak that he was sorry for his height.

Haipia and Kanu ran to the ball landing point together. Haipia, who jumped up with Kanu, squeezed the Nigerian out of balance with force, and then shook his head and pushed the ball out.

Just as Hypia was about to continue to enter the game after landing, he heard the referee's whistle sound!

Haipiya was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Kanu, who was originally fighting for the top of the game, had already fallen to the ground, rolling on the ground with a look of pain, and the referee ran over and pointed his finger at the free throw point!

Penalty!

"What are you kidding? What did I do? Why is it a penalty kick!" Hypia was stunned for a moment, then immediately shouted at the referee.

The referee made an elbow strike, indicating that Hepia had committed a foul while he was taking off.

"Damn, if this is also a penalty kick, you can get ten penalty kicks in the whole game!" Xiao Ming jumped up from the coach's seat and shouted loudly at the field: "What is this? That guy is a fucking fake fall!"

"Mr. Xiao Ming..."

The fourth official walked over, but Xiao Ming grabbed him and pointed to the big screen above the stands: "Look at slow motion, that guy bumped into him by himself! How could this be a foul!"

"Fifa has regulations..."

The poor fourth official was interrupted by Xiao Ming before he finished speaking: "I know that replaying videos cannot be evidence of deciding to judge the penalty. This is a fucking rule..."

While muttering, Xiao Ming walked towards his coaching seat and left only a back for the fourth official.

The fourth official shrugged helplessly, but according to his observation, Leiden East's penalty kick was quite unfair. It was obvious that the referee was deceived by Kanu's performance - both sides had movements at that time, but it was not enough to make a foul.

But it is inevitable that the referee makes mistakes, and Leiden East can only suffer this loss. For the sake of his authority, the referee's penalty must not be changed. If he realizes his mistakes, perhaps the referee can help Leiden East from other places in the subsequent game...

The Leiden Oriental players on the court were also surrounding the referee to appeal, and Kanu had already stood up to celebrate with his teammates. Such a debate was of course ineffective. The referee dispersed the Leiden Oriental players and insisted on awarding the penalty.

Borgkamp came to take the penalty kick. He has always been Arsenal's penalty kicker, and the penalty kick was also quite perfect. Although Jasquelinen judged the right direction, the ball still flew into the goal from his hand!

"Damn, my record of not losing the ball was broken like this..." Xiao Ming muttered unwillingly on the coaching seat.

This goal loss is not just a simple matter of breaking the record of not losing the ball - several players who participated in the World Cup have always seemed in a bad state in previous games. It is obvious that Leiden Oriental's sudden change of tactics made them feel uncomfortable, but after the equalization, they seemed to be in a spirit suddenly!

Both forwards, Borgkamp and Kanu, are very skilled players. Needless to say, Borgkamp, ​​Kanu is also a player with very delicate skills - his body is definitely not as good as his skills - once these two men began to show their skills, Leiden Oriental's defenders immediately began to feel a little difficult.

Coupled with the wing break between Orvimas and Lyonberg, Vieira kept inserting in the middle, Leiden East wanted to continue to maintain the offensive, but was slowly pulled back by Arsenal.

Finally, in the 37th minute, Arsenal's exquisite cooperation once again tore open the defense line of Leiden East again. Borgkamp's seemingly aimless pass at the front of the penalty area, but penetrated the defense line of Leiden East. Ryomberg's high-speed diagonal inserted into the penalty area. With the constant interference behind Daniel, he still got Borgkamp's pass, and then shot before Yasquelenin attacked. The ball flew past Yasquelenin's armpit and flew into the goal.

Two to one! Arsenal overtakes the score!

Looking at the Arsenal players cheering and celebrating, Jin Kraze ran back and loudly encouraged the players of Leiden East: "It's okay, let's get the score back! Didn't we create so many opportunities just now? The opponents have nothing to fear, believe in our strength!"

Jinklaze, who rarely shouted on the court, boosted the morale of the players. They immediately launched a counterattack. Boban began to pull the sides and formed a breakthrough. When he pulled the sides, Jinklaze and Glenshare took turns to give him a position. The three attacking midfielders in Leiden East were all players who could play both left, center and right. They frequently changed positions back and forth and immediately disrupted Arsenal's defense.

When the strong defense line of Arsenal was a little dazzled, Boban made a beautiful behind-the-scenes ball under the cover of Sun Jihai who was inserted. Phillips successfully faced Heeman directly, which was almost a copy of the goal that Ryomberg scored just now. Phillips wisely shot a ball rolling ball. Heeman fell to the ground and the ball rolled into the goal from under him!

Two to two draws!

In just ten minutes, both sides scored three goals! Leiden East showed amazing attack power, and they did not lose the advantage in the attack with Arsenal! This is even more surprising than their defeat of Arsenal last season. After all, Leiden East's two goals last season were somewhat lucky, and their defensive luck was quite good. Arsenal's several chances would probably be another situation...

Can we evenly share Arsenal's appearance in such a big-bang offense? Can this performance still be viewed from the perspective of "dark horses"?

Leighton Oriental scored a goal in less than three minutes of the game, and then both sides got a chance in the attack. The game reached its climax after thirty minutes. Arsenal's controversial penalty kick was scored, and then a wonderful cooperation successfully overtook the score. Just when everyone thought the first half would end with Arsenal's lead, Leighton Oriental immediately scored the score again. Before Phillips' goal, Leiton Oriental had already fallen back and forth around Arsenal's penalty area for a few minutes. This was an authentic positional goal.
Chapter completed!
