Football: The Hand that Covers the Sky - Chapter 407
Griezmann seems to be in good shape this season, scoring two consecutive games, but this game is not over yet, Griezmann has almost continued to score in the next time.
However, Arsenal did not really expand their advantage in the first half, and after a 2-0 lead, Arsenal significantly slowed down their pace.
Not to mention that 2:0 has almost announced the victory or defeat of the game. There is still the second half of this game. Players need to allocate their physical energy reasonably to ensure that the second half will not be exhausted due to excessive consumption.
Wenger was very satisfied with his performance in the first half, so he barely said anything during the intermission. In the visiting team’s locker room, it can be said that he spent fifteen minutes quietly. The players should replenish their physical strength.
In the second half of the game, there was no change in the personnel of the two sides, and after a 15-minute break, Crystal Palace seemed to have recovered from the 0:2 blow in the first half, and started offensively.
It was Zaha’s breakthrough, this time Zaha chose to pass directly, and Wickham jumped high in the penalty area and pressed Koscielny’s header slightly wide.
Wickham is physically better than Koscielny, but the French is not a vegetarian. Although there is no header, Wickham can’t easily complete the goal.
In the fiftieth minute, Crystal Palace scored again into the hinterland of Arsenal. Coquelin tried to steal, but he was tackled with the ball. The referee took out the first yellow card of the game.
Then Crystal Palace began to seize the point of Coquilin, trying to make Coquilin two yellows and one red. Wenger naturally couldn’t let them do what he wanted. In the 58th minute, Arsenal made the first change of the game. People, Wilshere replaced Coquelin.
Coquelin’s replacement of Arsenal’s midfield defense will definitely be weakened, but Wilshere’s appearance can also enhance Arsenal’s midfielder’s ability to control the ball. When the opponent is not as strong as his own, enhancing the ball’s possession is actually a kind of A good way to consume time.
This was later proved. Cazorla, Ramsey and Wilshere began to control the ball in the midfield. Coupled with the support of Sanchez and Griezmann, Arsenal began to kill the patience of Crystal Palace.
After all, it is Crystal Palace that is behind now, and it is Crystal Palace that is really anxious. As time goes by, the players of Crystal Palace will become more and more anxious, causing problems for themselves.
In fact, this was the case in the game. In the 73rd minute of the game, Chamberlain, who came on the bench for one minute, broke through the wing and made a pass. The ball flew to the back. Sanchez hit the goal at high speed and wanted to header. Unfortunately, Sanchez’s height is not dominant. Under the harassment of the defensive players, the goal was not really completed.
But in the end the ball still rolled into the Crystal Palace goal, an own goal, Sanchez’s header flew to the veteran Delani, and then the veteran made a kick to send the ball into his own door.
McCarthy was stunned, because he never expected Delany to send the ball into his gate because Delany was not close to the goal. Although Griezmann was rushing towards Delany, the two There is still some distance.
So Delany had enough time to complete the clearance, but in the end Delany’s kick was crooked, and it was also very crooked, and he went straight to his door.
“This~~~This~~~Arsenal is 3:0?” Paul Merson said in disbelief.
Although everything can happen in a football match, the goal is outrageous, but for Arsenal, even if it is outrageous, the result is immediately accepted.
But the Crystal Palace people couldn’t accept it. The more radical fans couldn’t help but scold Delany, and some people suspected that Delany was charged with Arsenal’s money.
No matter how the score becomes 0:3, it is an indisputable fact. With Delany’s own goal, the game completely lost suspense and Crystal Palace also gave up hope.
In the next twenty minutes, the two sides played quite silently. Arsenal did not think of continuing to expand the score. Although the league has just begun, Arsenal will soon start a week of double matches. At this time, the players must try to avoid injuries. .
Crystal Palace needs to focus on the next game. Although Crystal Palace ranked in the middle of the standings last season, the lineup has been strengthened this season. This does not mean that Crystal Palace must be safe. The Premier League team has money and wants to have money all the time. It is necessary to stay in the Premier League, so the Premier League teams are willing to spend money when the team will be strong.
Even the stingy boss is willing to buy people for the team. This is fundamentally different from the Arsenal boss. Anyway, this boss has become the most annoying person for Arsenal fans, and fans have to curse a few words every day. .
In the end, Arsenal won the game 3:0 with an own goal from Giroud, Griezmann and Crystal Palace, ushering in a second straight victory in the new season.
In this victory, Li Shou performed very well in the first half, saving the Crystal Palace twice in a row with very threatening shots, but Li Shou was almost invisible in the second half of the second half.
However, the calculation is so that Li Shou is still the hero of Arsenal’s victory in this game. If it were not for Li Shou’s continuous resolution of Crystal Palace’s shots in the first half, the result of the game might be completely different.
After winning the game, Wenger gave the players another day off. The third round of the league is still a week later. Arsenal can deal with it calmly. No, it should be said that before the arrival of September, Arsenal players can get a holiday.
This season’s UEFA Champions League team draw is at the end of August. At that time, Li Shou and Wenger must go to the scene. Arsenal was the Champions League champion last season. Not surprisingly, Wenger should get the best coach. Lee Code is the biggest contributor to Arsenal’s championship last season.
Without Li Shou, there is definitely no championship win last season, so Li Shou is competing for the best player. With his performance last season, Li Shou has become the biggest favorite of the golden ball players, and the best European player is naturally the biggest favorite.
As for the best team goalkeeper, that is almost a certainty. As far as last season is concerned, that goalkeeper can be compared with Li Shou?
Therefore, the biggest suspense of the Champions League group draw and awards should be the best player. After all, Ronaldo and Messi are competing with Li Shou. Although both of them were Li Shou’s defeat last season, the two dominated European football together. So many years.
With the end of the UEFA Champions League group stage draw, the group stage matches are also starting, in addition to the English League Cup in the Premier League.
After winning the FA Cup last season, the English League Cup has become a small goal for Arsenal this season, because Arsenal currently lacks an English League Cup champion.
If Li Shouzhen leaves Arsenal at the end of the season, the English League Cup must be won, but Li Shou should not have any chance to play in the first few rounds of the English League Cup.
