Van Persie was very fast with the ball, but as he approached the Leeds United penalty area, his sprint was eventually caught up by Lahm and Cannavaro, who were making rapid recovery runs. The two of them sandwiched Van Persie from the left and right.
On their right, Adebayor, making a run off the ball, had already reached the edge of the penalty area. Even though Kompany was chasing him with all his might, he was still four or five meters away from him.
"Robin, pass the ball!"
Seeing that he was completely unguarded, Adebayor quickly waved and shouted in Van Persie's direction.
He seemed to already see himself celebrating wildly after scoring a goal, thinking that he must run to the bench to celebrate and show Wenger that he absolutely deserved that salary. He thought, "If you want to keep me, you'll have to pay more!"
However, Van Persie did not pass the ball immediately because the footsteps on the right were getting closer and closer. He had already seen Cannavaro, who was quite close to him, out of the corner of his eye. If he made a cross pass at this moment, he would likely be tackled by Cannavaro.
So Van Persie took another step forward, deciding to catch up and then pass the ball to Adebayor.
But it was this step that caused Adebayor to misunderstand. He thought Van Persie was trying to hog the ball and wanted to score himself!

Suddenly, in a bizarre moment, Adebayo slowed his running and jumped up from the spot with a pained expression...
But in the instant he jumped, he was surprised to find that the ball had rolled to about two meters in front of him. However, he had already lost the chance to control the ball and shoot while he was in the air, because Kompany had caught up with him. After giving Adebayor a strange look in the air, he naturally caught up with the ball and passed it back to Neuer, who was standing in front of the goal.
Neuer has taken control of the ball.
The Arsenal bench, which had been ecstatic, suddenly fell silent. Wenger, like a Sichuan opera face-changing act, instantly wiped away his excited smile, replacing it with a look of surprise.
He looked at Patrice next to him again and asked him without any emotion, "Patrice, can you tell me if I was out of my mind when I signed such an idiot from Leeds United?"
