Chapter 124: Hanging Hook

Bielsa had been squatting on the sidelines, but when he saw Walcott had a one-on-one opportunity, he stood up suddenly.

When I saw Neuer take decisive action and save the one-on-one shot, I felt relieved for a while.

But he was very aware that Arsenal had already begun to adjust the game.

"Fabregas is so smart!" Chief assistant Luis Borini came over.

Bersa adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and nodded.

Fabregas is the soul of Arsenal's midfield. This player can directly participate in the attack and score when he moves forward, and can become the team's offensive planner when he moves back. He also has excellent long and short pass assist abilities.

This is a very complete midfielder and very intelligent.

When he felt that he could not help the team in the front, he chose to retreat and leave the densely defended area.

For him, even if he leaves, his ability to pass the ball can still ensure that he can create threats anytime and anywhere.

While Bielsa was talking to Luis Borini, Arsenal created another chance.

Fabregas retreated to get the ball and turned around to make a long pass, trying to find the back of Southampton's defense.

But it was still Neuer who rushed out of the goal quickly and picked the ball up in mid-air.

Bielsa closed his eyes, knowing that he couldn't delay any longer.

He walked to the sidelines and yelled to the court, "Morgan!"

Morgan Schneiderlin immediately looked over and nodded to the head coach on the sidelines.

Bielsa made a series of gestures towards him, meaning to tell him that when Fabregas retreated, he should immediately follow him and never let Fabregas have a comfortable chance to get the ball.

The best way to defend against a passer like Fabregas is to make him uncomfortable.

Schneiderlin nodded to Bielsa and agreed.

"Kevin!" Bielsa pointed to another midfielder, Kevin Stroman, and after the latter looked over, he also made a gesture.

What Bielsa meant was that when Schneiderlin followed Fabregas up, Stroman must retreat to block the gap behind Schneiderlin and protect the team's defense.

"Everyone!" Bielsa finally shouted loudly.

The Southampton players all looked over immediately.

Bielsa conveyed a message to the players through gestures, "The opponent's defense against the left attack has obviously strengthened. We need to adjust the team's offensive direction and launch an attack from the right. Chamberlain should be more proactive in taking the ball to attack Arsenal's defense."

After a series of adjustments made by Bielsa, the game has started again.

Yang Huan returned to his seat. He had only been playing the drums for more than ten minutes, but he was already sweating profusely and his whole body was wet.

When I sat down, since the seats in the Emirates Stadium did not have cup holders or arm rests and were placed close to each other, I accidentally touched Horikita Maki's white arm, and the latter immediately stood up from her seat like a frightened bird.

"What? I just bumped into her accidentally!" Yang Huan was puzzled, was he really a pervert?

Horikita Maki blushed and sat down again, but kept a distance.

"I say, you are not a germaphobe, are you?" Yang Huan laughed breathlessly.

It's only been a dozen minutes and he's already out of breath. It shows that cheering for the team in the stands is also a very tiring thing, and only hardcore fans can do it.

Charlene Lahiri on the side laughed. "I don't think it's because she has mysophobia, but you're so dirty and smelly, who wouldn't want to stay away from you?"

"What do you know? This is called masculinity!" Yang Huan laughed.

Charlene Lahiri wanted to laugh when she heard this. So sweating a little means masculinity?

Horikita Maki pursed her lips. She was indeed a bit of a germaphobe. Although it was not to the point of being pathological, she was still a little resistant to men, even if the man she was facing was Yang Huan, whom she had decided to devote herself to.

"Hey, expert, what do you think of this game?" Yang Huan humbly asked Charlene Lahri beside him.

At the very least, he is a football commentator, and he should know more than us amateur fans.

"Bielsa is directing the change of formation!" Charlene Lahri pointed to the sidelines, where Bielsa had just made a gesture to the players. "The game is still unclear. Wenger's on-the-spot direction has never been strong. It all depends on how Bielsa changes the formation."

Yang Huan laughed when he heard this. "If you ask me, it's simple. Just one sentence: pass the ball to Ibrahimovic."

Arsenal's double defender combination in this game is Koscielny and Djokovic.

Both central defenders are tall and strong, obviously trying to limit Ibrahimovic, but the Swedish center is not afraid of this type of central defender. Once Ibrahimovic gets the ball in a key position, Southampton's chances of winning will be great.

"Nonsense, everyone knows that." Charlene Lahri glared at him unhappily. "The question is, how do we spread it?"

Wenger obviously knew that he couldn't limit Ibrahimovic, so he adopted other strategies, such as limiting Neymar on the left.

The combination of Neymar and David Alaba is an important offensive route for Southampton, and they are facing the right side where Sagna is, so Arsenal has deployed heavy troops on this side.

"It's very simple. When I look at Arsenal's frontcourt, neither Walcott nor Nasri has the idea of ​​rushing to support the full-backs. As long as one person goes up to the midfield to pin down Alexander Song, it will be possible to create maximum one-on-one opportunities on the wing."

At this point, Yang Huan looked confident, "As long as it's a one-on-one on the wing, Neymar and Chamberlain have the opportunity to pass the ball."

Charlene Lahiri didn't expect that Yang Huan had such an opinion and was a little surprised for a moment.

"Is it that simple?" She still had some doubts.

Yang Huan shrugged and said, "We'll see."

"Two consecutive one-on-one chances, Master John, Arsenal really had an awesome game in this game!"

"Haha, yes, Arsenal is in good shape recently, and they have sent out all their main players. If they don't beat Southampton to death and beat them by three or five goals, they will be sorry for us, the audience who bought tickets!"

"Look at Fabregas' pass, look at Walcott's speed, look at Nasri's dribbling, my God, what can Southampton do to play against Arsenal, right, Master John?"

The followers around him were talking to each other, as if Arsenal had already secured victory.

John Huntel also couldn't stop smiling. Arsenal won, which also meant that he won.

Thirty thousand pounds, even if the odds were low, if he won the game, he calculated that he could at least buy a Porsche for transportation.

Damn, without a luxury car, I’d be embarrassed to say hello to other rich second-generations when I go out.

"You guys are all right. It's only been less than 20 minutes. In my opinion, Southampton is going to lose miserably in this game!"

As soon as John Hunter spoke, the three followers around him also joined in the fun.

"Yes, Southampton will definitely lose miserably!"

"Arsenal will win at least 5-0."

"Master John, just think about what car to buy after you win the game!"

…………

The various scenes in the stands did not affect the competitive battle between the two sides on the field.

After adjustments, Southampton quickly regained its footing.

Schneiderlin was responsible for closely marking Fabregas, and as soon as Fabregas retreated, he would follow him forward.

Arsenal obviously also wanted to take advantage of Fabregas's retreat to bring out Schneiderlin and create a gap in front of Southampton's defense.

When Wilshere was actively moving forward, hoping to attack Schneiderlin from behind, Strootman came out from the side.

With a precise interception, the ball was taken away from Wilshere's feet. Although the young English player launched a counter-attack on the spot, Strootman quickly knocked the ball back to Varane, turned around and ran, and the latter passed the ball to Carvajal on the right.

Carvajal took two steps forward with the ball, and before Nasri got close to him, he passed the ball back to Stroman who ran out to receive the ball.

The Dutchman pushed the ball with his left foot, and the ball crossed the middle and long line and landed at Chamberlain's feet on the right.

Chamberlain dribbled the ball forward along the right side, and Southampton's entire midfield and frontcourt were rushing forward quickly, especially Ibrahimovic in front, who raised his right hand high, indicating that he was already in the front and was ready to respond at any time.

Chamberlain dribbled the ball forward and faced Clichy, who was also retreating continuously.

Entering the 30-meter area of ​​Arsenal, Chamberlain made a dunk and changed direction, turning his original momentum from going down the bottom into cutting inside.

Clichy was not fooled and still blocked Chamberlain, preventing him from cutting inside.

Chamberlain saw Alexander Song coming to the right to assist in defense, and fearing that he would be surrounded, he changed direction again and wanted to go to the bottom line.

During the entire process, Chamberlain kept the ball firmly under his feet without revealing any flaws. Neither Clichy nor Alexander Song, who came to assist in defense, were able to seize the opportunity.

He suddenly accelerated to the bottom, tricking Krissy into starting as well.

But who could have thought that when Chamberlain just entered the right side of Arsenal's penalty area, he stepped on the ball and stopped suddenly, then quickly cut behind Clichy before he turned around, and used his body to block Alexander Song who was chasing him from behind.

Klich turned around in a hurry, and Alexander Song tried his best to interfere with his dribbling.

But Chamberlain had excellent physical fitness, strong explosive power, and flexible legs. He managed to dribble the ball out despite being double-teamed from both sides and successfully made it into the penalty area.

Once entering the penalty area, neither Clichy nor Alexander Song dared to kick the ball easily and could only choose to block.

But Chamberlain was obviously prepared. As soon as he entered the penalty area, he noticed Ibrahimovic.

Arsenal's two central defenders kept close to Ibrahimovic, fearing that the Swedish center forward would get the ball.

Three tall players blocked the small penalty area in front of the goal, making it look extremely crowded.

The situation is also precarious, and everyone is watching how Chamberlain will deal with it next.

Ibrahimovic suddenly turned around and ran back, scaring Koscielny and Djokovic to run out as well.

Chamberlain seemed to have anticipated that Ibrahimovic would retreat, and had passed the ball to the front of the small penalty area one step ahead. When Ibrahimovic retreated and left the small penalty area, the ball came in front of him.

Koscielny and Djokovic arrived behind him, and both of them stood between Ibrahimovic and the goal. They were mentally prepared that as long as Ibrahimovic shot, they would block him with their bodies.

Ibrahimovic faced the incoming ball, stopped very calmly, and then kicked it.

This kick directly lifted the ball high, which was completely beyond the expectations of Koscielny and Djokovic.

After lifting the ball high, Ibrahimovic actually leaned his huge body backward and made a bicycle kick.

This scene made everyone feel incredible!

What kind of amazing flexibility does it take to be able to turn such a giant body completely upside down and even shoot a back-heel shot?

Moreover, as his body turned over, the block that Koscielny and Djokovic thought was flawless was actually chiseled into a gap.

The ball hit from the back-hook shot went right over Ibrahimovic's body.

Goalkeeper Fabianski was caught off guard and reacted very quickly, making a flying save immediately.

But Ibrahimovic's back-heel shot was very clever, and the ball bounced off the ground in the small penalty area, making Fabianski's save in vain.

The ball passed Fabianski's hand and hit the goal line.

At this moment, the entire stadium was dead silent!

Time seems to be frozen at this moment!
