Chapter 097 Arsenal's Attack Wave (3)

Fifteen minutes passed quickly as the fans gossiped about Princess Angela, and with the referee's whistle, the second half of the game began.

Wenger was very satisfied with the team's performance in the second half of the first half. He believed that with Arsenal's strength, they would be the final winner in a real fight with Wolverhampton. Therefore, during the halftime break, he did not show his dissatisfaction with the first half. In fact, Arsenal's performance in the first half was indeed very good. The reason why they fell behind was that they attacked too hastily after falling behind in the score, plus a little bit of luck.

Therefore, Arsenal still used the tactics of the first half, focusing on the center and left, while Parlour on the right was responsible for coordinating with the center. Of course, he also had to fight when necessary. In the center, Arsenal relied on the cooperation between Fabregas, Edu and Parlour to carry out short passes and penetration, in order to stretch Wolverhampton's defense and find loopholes to create scoring opportunities.

Fabregas is a famous Spanish talent. He has comprehensive abilities, both offensive and defensive, especially his passing ability in the game is superior. Wenger was attracted by his passing talent, so he brought Fabregas back from Spain. He intends to train Fabregas to be the team's main defensive midfielder and the heart of the team's tactical operation. Edu has played for Arsenal for three seasons. This Brazilian is tall but very flexible. The 24-year-old Edu is in his prime. If he had not been plagued by frequent injuries, he would have been selected for the Brazilian national team long ago.

With these two players as the main offensive force in the middle, Arsenal played very well in the middle. Various exquisite cooperations were constantly staged, which made the cheers of Arsenal fans in the audience rise again and again.

Compared with other leagues, physical confrontation ability is more important in the Premier League, and referees are very lenient in this regard. Therefore, if you want to gain a foothold in the Premier League, a strong body is very advantageous! Vieira is a model of a player who relies on his body to play the game. He is very strong and powerful. In addition, he has a sharp long-range shot and can seize good opportunities to support his teammates. Therefore, Vieira has become the hub between Arsenal's midfield and the penalty area. With the continuous support of the midfield, he has posed a great threat to Wolverhampton's goal!

However, Pires on the left side of Arsenal was very depressed. Lyle, who replaced Newton, was not very strong in attack and not very fast, but his defensive ability was much stronger than Newton. Pires tried to break through Lyle's defense several times, but all failed. As long as he showed fancy moves, Lyle on the opposite side would directly choose to foul to stop him, which made him very helpless. The Premier League's penalty standards for this kind of ordinary foul of physical collision are very loose, and the referee only gave a set-piece, which was not a big deal.

…………

In the 61st minute, the ball rolled towards Fabregas. Kennedy ran towards the ball immediately, trying to break the ball's rolling path before Fabregas. Fabregas took a big step forward, touched the ball with his left foot, and the ball rolled to the right. He followed with his right foot and directly poked the ball to Parlour on the right.

At this time, Butler was behind Parlour, so he didn't stop the ball and directly passed it back to Ashley Cole who was running forward. Cole got the ball, and he and Fabregas made a one-two pass, passed Kennedy, and faced the two Wolverhampton defenders in front of him. He directly passed the ball diagonally to Edu at the front of the penalty area. Kleiman quickly gave up defending Henry and turned to stick to Edu, staring at the ball under his feet. After Edu received the ball, he glanced behind him and made a fake move. Taking advantage of Kleiman's trance, he rubbed the ball with his heel, and the ball rolled behind him.

There's Fabregas!

Fabregas, who followed up, kicked the ball hard with his foot, but he didn't shoot, but kicked it directly to Henry in the penalty area! Henry was closely guarded in this game, and he didn't have any good chances throughout the game. Fabregas took advantage of Kleiman's defense and seized the opportunity!

Henry looked at the ball rolling towards him, raised his right foot and was about to shoot! However, halfway through the swing, he stepped over the ball, and the ball rolled towards the left corner of the goal. He was making a fake move! Goalkeeper Oakes was obviously deceived by Henry's move, and he had no reaction to the ball at all!

Perhaps Arsenal was unlucky today, the ball hit the left goal post and bounced out of the bottom line. Fabregas closed his eyes and shrugged his face in annoyance as he watched the ball go out of the bottom line. Henry ran over and gave him a thumbs up, indicating that it was a good goal.

…………

In the 67th minute of the game, Parlour dribbled the ball straight to the bottom line. When he kicked the cross, Butler tackled him from behind and the ball went out of the bottom line. Arsenal got a corner kick on the right side.

Fabregas ran to take the corner kick, and seeing his teammates in position, he passed the ball low to Vieira on the right side of the penalty area! This was a tactical corner kick!

Vieira received the ball and took a long shot!

However, at this time, there were too many people in the small penalty area, and the ball hit Ashley Cole's shoulder and flew upwards. The Wolverhampton penalty area was in chaos, and the players crowded to head the ball. In the end, it was Wang Li who used the "Lingbo Weibu" in anxiety to run directly through the gap in the crowd to the landing point of the ball, and then jumped up behind Pires to clear the ball, thus preventing the goal crisis!

This clearance also gave some confidence to the Wolverhampton players on the field.

Although Arsenal's attack is fierce and the goal could be breached at any time, we are still leading, and we also have Alan Wang, who will definitely lead us to victory!

…………

Seeing that more than 20 minutes had passed in the second half, but Arsenal's attack was still so fierce, Dave Jones on the bench was also very anxious. When arranging the tactics in the midfield, he said that Arsenal would only attack for ten minutes, but now the situation on the field was not as he expected, and the players' fighting spirit was almost exhausted in this crazy attack.

He walked to the sidelines helplessly, raised his hands and kept swinging them up and down. Seeing this action, Captain Kennedy immediately nodded at him, and then began to convey the head coach's new tactical arrangements to the players.

Wenger, who was sitting on the other side, frowned as he watched Dave Jones's action. He did not understand the meaning of this action. Could it be that this arrogant Dave Jones had come up with some countermeasures? However, he looked up at the situation on the field and felt relieved. No matter what tricks the opponent played, it would not work in the face of absolute strength. The gap in strength between the two teams was too big. Wolverhampton's previous victories were only based on the individual performance of the players, but this performance was dwarfed by the powerful offensive.
