Chapter 245: The Gunner’s Struggle
Gunner's Struggle
The Arsenal team found that they were already standing on the edge of a cliff, reaching a life-or-death moment.
The opponent who can decide their fate is right in front of them at this moment. Koscielny still can't recover from the own goal just now. Such a blow is too cruel for Arsenal.
Originally they were the dominant side, they were moving towards victory, and it seemed that they were just a little short of scoring a goal. At this moment, Sun Yao's breakthrough goal caused them such a tragic own goal.
As a result, Villarreal's situation is considered to be excellent.
The fans of Villarreal's home team also began to shout crazily, shouting Sun Yao's name.
"Sun Yao! Sun Yao!"
"King of the Ballad Stadium!"
Because Sun Yao scored six goals on the previous scorer list, many fans hope that Sun Yao will continue to score goals and maintain his dominance on the Champions League scorer list.
Behind Sun Yao, Messi, Eto'o, Mario Gomez and Cristiano Ronaldo are all eyeing this top spot on the shooting list.
Now he is being occupied by a little-known guy, and the superstars behind him are not willing to accept it.
Therefore, the fans also hope that Sun Yao can stay on the list for a while, and they begin to look forward to Sun Yao's goals.
Seeing the opponent's fans actually shouting that their players scored one more goal, the Arsenal players felt unhappy from the bottom of their hearts. Isn't this a blatant disregard for their British Gunners?
Arsenal is not a mature team, and these young guys are not very good at playing against the wind, so the situation is gradually starting to go against them.
The only thing that is good for them is that Wenger is still standing on the sidelines. Wenger has not given up yet. He believes that there is still a chance, so the players should not give up and should try their best.
As a leading figure in the coaching world, Wenger is naturally the person Juan Carlos Garrido is most afraid of. In his eyes, Cesc Fabregas and Van Persie in the opponent's formation are not the biggest threats.
The biggest threat actually comes from the coaching bench. As long as he makes certain adjustments, the situation may suddenly change.
Arsenal always maintained control of the ball, suppressing Villarreal's ball possession rate below 40. Although this ball possession rate is far less terrifying than Barcelona's ball possession rate of over 80, their
The suppressive effects are comparable.
The offensive momentum was even more ferocious than that of Barcelona.
As the game progressed, Wenger finally couldn't sit still and made adjustments.
The first is the change in the frontcourt. Wenger chose to replace two generals in a row.
Veteran Rosicky comes out and replaces the famous midfielder Diaby!
Then Nasri came on the scene and replaced Walcott!
Now Walcott can't use his speed advantage on the court, and Walcott's side seems to have been suppressed by Sun Yao. It's time to change the situation.
Wenger only has these few cards in his hand. Now that he has played them out, the rest may have to be left to fate. After all, the current situation is indeed very unfavorable and it is an away game with a lot of travel and travel.
Faced with such tremendous pressure, Arsenal's players did not give up, but continued to put pressure on Villarreal's defense.
As time went by, Wenger's substitution adjustments seemed to have fallen into disuse without making any waves. Even Wenger started shaking his head on the sidelines. He only had these few cards in his hand. If he played them out, what else could he do.
After thinking about it, Wenger began to ask Bendtner to warm up and prepare to play.
With the high center forward, the Gunners are making their final struggle!
Juan Carlos Garrido also replaced Nirma, allowing Santiago Cazorla, who had returned from injury, to come up and feel the atmosphere.
At the same time, Kani's position was moved back to form a three-midfielder tactic!
This is to maintain this score.
Bendtner came on, and was replaced by Clichy, who took off a fullback and replaced him with a center.
This is a bold substitution adjustment, and it is a signal that it is necessary to conquer the Love Song Stadium through a strong attack.
"How dare you come here, three defenders, two centers, kicking the ball from both sides, and in the middle there are Fabio and Rosicky to stop it together! A huge attacking group!" Juan Carlos Garrido also sighed with emotion.
"This substitution is indeed decisive and bold! Will Wenger's adjustment be rewarded? Let's wait and see!" Teacher Jianhong also began to look forward to it.
The game has gradually entered the final moment, and Wenger has played all his cards.
Sometimes he goes to the coach's command area, sometimes he sits back on the bench.
After Bendtner came on the court, it was not completely ineffective. He had a complete advantage in both top battles, but he failed to seize such opportunities.
After several wasted opportunities to score goals, the whole team became irritable, and gradually the offense became less sharp.
Wenger looked at the situation on the field and paced back to the bench. It was already approaching stoppage time. It seemed that Wenger felt powerless.
~~~~~~~
The whistle finally blew at the end of the game, 1-0, but only one goal was scored.
An own goal by Kosciel Ceny. With this own goal, Villarreal won another game, winning three out of five games and drawing two, leading the Group H standings with an unbeaten record!
Moreover, Villarreal emerged from the group early. Even if Arsenal can get a chance to qualify, they can only compete for second place in the group.
Because at this time Villarreal is 4 points higher than Arsenal. With only one round left in the group stage, Villarreal appeared early. Of course, they need to
Only by achieving at least an undefeated record can you get first place in the group!
Now the goal for Villarreal is no longer to advance out of the group, but to get first place in the group! This also enables them to draw a good draw for the quarter-finals!
Of course, in the quarter-finals, no matter whether Villarreal wins the group first or second, it will not draw the Barcelona and Real Madrid teams that everyone least wants to draw, because they belong to the same Football Association.
's football club.
Although Sun Yao did not score, his six goals still occupy the first place in the Champions League scorer list, but Messi also raised the number of goals to six, tying Sun Yao!
After the game, Wenger hurriedly shook hands with Juan Carlos Garrido, and then quickly left the tunnel and walked towards their locker room.
Obviously, Wenger is absolutely dissatisfied with the performance of his disciples.
The disciples felt a little regretful on the court, and some familiar players also communicated with each other.
We exchanged jerseys as a souvenir.
The most important thing is to express my gratitude to the fans who came to the scene to cheer!
Sun Yao did not exchange jerseys with the Arsenal players, but took off his shirt and threw it into the stands.
This is a way to express our gratitude to the fans.
~~~~~~~~
Arsenal struggled for a long time and could only regretfully swallow the bitter fruit of defeat. Next, they could only pray that Villarreal defeated Shakhtar Donetsk away from home.
