Chapter 49: The end of the game(1/2)

Arsenal was scared by Real Madrid's counterattack for a while. During this period, their offensive momentum slowed down and they were afraid of Real Madrid's counterattack. The counterattack that Real Madrid showed just now was too sharp.

Arsenal's offensive slowed down, and Mourinho's Real Madrid naturally enjoyed seeing it. Anyway, they are leading with one goal now. If Arsenal does not attack from now on, they will shrink in the backcourt and not come out until the end of the game. Mourinho will not feel that there is anything wrong with it. This is a group stage, not a knockout match, the most important thing is three-pointers, not a away goal. There is not much difference between winning 1:0 away and winning 3:0 away.

So after Arsenal recovered, Mourinho did not ask the team to continue attacking, but maintained a defensive counterattack.

In fact, this recycling was Wenger's idea. He asked the team to recycle appropriately and lure Real Madrid out so that they would have the gap they needed behind them. If Real Madrid kept shrinking their defense, it would be difficult for Arsenal's offense to score in.

But he didn't expect Mourinho to be so calm and turn a blind eye to Arsenal's lure into attack. If they don't come up, they won't be able to go over.

The game suddenly became a little boring.

Arsenal is not qualified to spend time here with Real Madrid.

So Wenger had to readjust his tactics and let the team continue to attack Real Madrid's penalty area. With more than 20 minutes left in the game, they had to score more than one goal, and the draw was a failure for them.

Fabregas led Arsenal's offense. According to the strategy formulated by Arsenal during the break, everyone was relatively close to him. This accelerated Arsenal's offensive speed and made it more difficult for Real Madrid to grab the football.

So if you want to crack Arsenal's offensive, you must destroy Fabregas' possession.

Khedira originally planned to go up and do this. But Chu Zhongtian made a gesture to him and ran up by himself.

It is not impossible to set up a formation at the front of the penalty area and wait for the opponent to attack. However, this kind of passive defense is too dangerous and not suitable for the current situation. Arsenal feels like he is taking a desperate gamble. The Real Madrid defender is under great pressure. If you want to solve the problem from the root, you have to completely freeze Fabregas.

The game has reached the 70th minute, and this is a hurdle for the players. After 70 minutes of high-intensity game, everyone's physical fitness has reached a critical period, which is manifested as huge physical energy consumption and almost no one can run. However, if someone can overcome this hurdle, he can recover some physical fitness.

But Chu Zhongtian is an exception because he does not have any problem of whether he is hindered or not, and his physical fitness is abundant from beginning to end.

Now due to the huge impact of physical energy consumption, everyone's running is not as active as before. Arsenal's fast pass and cut cooperation is not as full of threats as at the beginning of the second half, making Real Madrid players unable to start grabbing the ball.

Now Arsenal's offense is exhausted, and it is entirely because of belief that they must score goals in the game.

Chu Zhongtian knew very well that if Real Madrid could score the reverse goal at this time, the game would end early.

Therefore, stealing Fabregas will be a very important part. It can not only stop Arsenal's offensive, but also launch a counterattack on the spot, and catch Arsenal off guard.

But Fabregas's ball is not easy to break.

As a Spanish player, Fabregas has the delicate footwork and agility unique to Spanish players. In the fierce Premier League field, Fabregas rarely concedes the ball. He knows that his physical condition is not superior, so when he meets those fierce defensive players, he will not hold the ball himself and fail to pass the ball for a long time, but will choose to pass the ball very smartly, which will greatly increase the difficulty of the enemy grabbing the ball from his feet.

So it is actually a very risky thing for Chu Zhongtian to pounce on Fabregas to defend Fabregas - the gap behind him is likely to be used by Fabregas.

Logically speaking, even if you can't defend it, you may not be able to keep the lead of this ball until the end of the game. Choosing to grab Fabregas is a very risky action. In conservative and adventure, Chu Zhongtian chose to take risks because he believed that once the adventure was successful, the team would gain huge benefits. After Real Madrid took 2:0, there was no suspense in the game.

Adventure or conservative? Perhaps this is a problem for Hamlet, but definitely not for Chu Zhongtian - essentially this is just a coin toss, and guessing coins is what he is best at.

Chu Zhongtian rushed out like a lion who had spotted his prey.

Fabregas hadn't got the ball yet at this time.

Just as he rushed up, Sarnia in the back passed the football forward, and the target was Fabregas.

He almost came with football.

Fabregas' performance was also very good. Just as Chu Zhongtian made a foot to grab the ball, he gently poked the ball to the side with his right toe, and poked the ball away from Chu Zhongtian's steal. Then he flashed his body, allowing Chu Zhongtian to catch up with the ball again, and a beautiful man-goal scored!

"Oh!! Beautiful! Wonderful! Fabregas gained the upper hand in his direct conversation with Chu!"

The English narrator shouted excitedly.

Also excited was Pi Kui in front of the TV. After seeing his friend shake Chu Zhongtian away with such a light movement, he jumped up from the sofa, waved his arms and shouted "Yes!"

Chu Zhongtian had the upper hand in the first half. In the second half, because Fabregas stepped up the connection with his teammates, Chu Zhongtian felt that he was not sure, so he retreated to the back. Therefore, the two of them had no direct conversation in the second half.

Now Fabregas has shook Chu Zhongtian with such a light move, bringing confidence to Arsenal fans, who are making noise in the stands.

Fabregas was not satisfied with passing Chu Zhongtian. With his understanding of Chu Zhongtian, he knew that Chu Zhongtian would not give up so easily. So just after he got away, he immediately passed the football.

Sure enough, the football had just left his feet and another foot appeared in his field of vision and reached up.

It is Chu Zhongtian!

Just after he was swept by Fabregas, he immediately turned around and pounced on him again. If Fabregas passed a little later for a second, he might be cut off by Chu Zhongtian.

Fabregas really cannot relax in the face of such an opponent. If he does not use all his strength, he may be defeated.

He had no time to be scared, so he ran to the next response point.

Chu Zhongtian followed Fabregas. He was not worried that he would always be following the Spanish midfielder, so the Arsenal players would not pass the ball to Fabregas. Fabregas is Arsenal's offensive core. If they want to score, they must organize it through Fabregas.

Sure enough, Arsenal quickly passed the football.

This time, Chu Zhongtian did not directly grab it, but instead stuck to Fabregas and pressed it behind him, asking him to catch the ball, but not allowing him to turn around.

Fabregas tried to turn around. As soon as he was halfway through, he found that the football under his feet would be snatched away by Chu Zhongtian. He quickly turned back and protected the football with his body. Chu Zhongtian did not give up and continued to interfere with Fabregas behind.

Fabregas knew that if he continued to control the ball, the probability of losing the ball was high, so he simply passed the ball back and did not fight Chu Zhongtian alone.

This made some people feel quite disappointed. They were looking forward to seeing Fabregas nimblely dodge Chu Zhongtian's good show.

After Fabregas passed the football out, he continued to run, and Chu Zhongtian followed him in an endless manner. He made up his mind that even if he could not steal it and launch a counterattack directly, he could freeze Fabregas so that he could not play the role of passing the ball organization and drag it until the end of the game.

Of course, Fabregas couldn't let Chu Zhongtian succeed.

Now with the injury time, there are about twenty minutes left before the end of the game. In these twenty minutes, they must score at least two goals and ensure that Real Madrid will not score.

If he was always restricted by Chu Zhongtian, this goal would be impossible to achieve.

In other words, he must get rid of Chu Zhongtian's entanglement.

But how to get rid of it?

Fabregas decided to speed up the pass, and a quick pass could help him get rid of Chu Zhongtian's entanglement.

When his teammate passed the football to him again, he glanced out of the corner of his eyes that Chu Zhongtian was almost at the same time as the football, and he made a decision instantly. He directly passed the football out with his heel.

A cheer sounded again in the stands.

Arsenal is now behind. As the team's soul, every exciting performance of captain Fabregas can bring hope to these Arsenal fans.

Chu Zhongtian did not chase the ball, but continued to follow Fabregas.

He was waiting for the opportunity, patiently waiting for it. Just like a sniper, he never fired a shot easily, and once he fired, he had to kill the target.

Fabregas is now trying to speed up the pace to get rid of him. He thought that this would open up the situation, but in fact the opposite is true.

Now the physical fitness of the entire Arsenal team is almost exhausted.

Fabregas is still speeding up the pass and receiving speed at this time, which is equivalent to continuing to overdraw the physical fitness of other teammates. Although Wenger replaced Willsheer and Nasri, it can be regarded as sending fresh blood, what can the two of them change?

If this continues, the rest of Arsenal players will sooner or later not keep up with Fabregas' rhythm, and Fabregas's physical fitness will also be exhausted.

Chu Zhongtian was not in a hurry to really grab it, but forced Fabregas to speed up the pace, which was helping Arsenal consume physical energy.

Arsenal did get some opportunities because of the fast pace of this period, but it was very limited, and even fewer people could directly threaten Real Madrid's goal.

Seven or eight minutes passed, Arsenal had not scored yet, and the game was almost in the last ten minutes. Seeing that Arsenal's hope of equalizing the score became increasingly slim, Arsenal began to become impatient.

Van Persie shot two consecutive long shots, but she was still in a relatively difficult situation.

Although Arsenal is committing suicide like this, Chu Zhongtian is still patiently waiting for the opportunity, wanting to give Arsenal the most fatal blow and completely secure the victory.

You should know that many things can happen in ten minutes.

※※※Fabregas felt that his steps were heavy, and his passes had begun to be inaccurate. The pass he had just passed to Nasri almost failed to receive.

He knew this was a sign of his exhaustion of energy.

But what else can he do besides gritting his teeth and persevering?

Now he no longer hopes to turn defeat into victory, but at least he cannot lose at home, and a draw can be done.

So just score one goal and another goal can be tied. It may be unlikely to score two goals in a row within ten minutes, but there is still a chance to score one goal.

A goal must be scored!

Such thoughts support Fabregas's body, constantly moving forward and forward.

He has been doing wedding dresses for his teammates during this period. I believe that Real Madrid players will not expect that they will make a sudden breakthrough.

Especially Chu Zhongtian... Fabregas thought so, an offensive plan had been formulated in his mind.

When his teammate passed the football to him again, he showed signs of passing the ball directly to the left before receiving the ball, intending to trick Chu Zhongtian into following him and then catch the ball from the other side to break through.

Unexpectedly, when he really caught the ball, he hit Chu Zhongtian's body. There was obvious resistance coming from his feet, but inertia made his body continue to move forward and fell head-on. When he fell to the ground, he realized that the football did not follow him, but continued to stay in place!

Chu Zhongtian and Fabregas kicked each other, and he had long judged what Fabregas was going to do.

So I waited on that route, and as expected, Fabregas turned around and bumped into it.

In the eyes of outsiders, Chu Zhongtian had been on the route for a long time, and then Fabregas hit him head-on. Of course, this cannot be regarded as a blocking foul, it can only be said that Chu Zhongtian's prediction is accurate.

The referee ignored the deafening booing over the Emirates after Fabregas fell to the ground, but raised his hands to signal the game to continue.

After waiting for so long, Chu Zhongtian finally waited for the opportunity. How could he let it go?

Chu Zhongtian, who had cut off the ball, immediately brought the football forward.

One dragon rushed to Arsenal's half.

At the same time, other Real Madrid players rushed to the frontcourt.

Real Madrid, who had been defending just now, has launched an offensive formation.

Chu Zhongtian looked up from side to side while running, but no one passed, but continued to drive the ball forward.
To be continued...
