Chapter 646: The Tragedy of Mannone
Bow and thank the Qicube Tea classmate for your reward!
In the second half of the first half, Arsenal's game scene was a bit passive. [very literary].
Because the physical fitness is not as good as the opponent, the gunmen's running ability has decreased significantly.
For most of the time, they were even suppressed by Queens Park Rangers in their half, exhausted from the passive defense.
The physical fitness has declined, and the opponent's pursuit of victory is very strong, so it is understandable that Arsenal will play in such a scene.
However, Arsenal is a team that wants to compete for the championship.
If they want to bite Manchester City tightly in the standings, no matter what difficulties they encounter, they must defeat the Queen's Park Rangers in this game.
There is no second choice before them.
Once the opponent draws or loses the game, the Gunners' hope of winning the championship will be greatly reduced, or even fail.
I want to win, but the scene is not superior. This situation makes Arsenal players and coaches feel a little impatient.
Not only did impatient help the Gunners recover the situation, but instead, due to the imbalance in mentality, Arsenal seemed more passive in the scene.
Several times, Queens Park Rangers were able to cooperate beautifully in front of Arsenal's penalty area, and then threaten Arsenal's gate.
Fortunately, the forwards of Queen's Park Rangers collectively did not wear shooting boots today.
There were several very good shooting opportunities in front of the goal. They either missed the ball high or were saved by Arsenal's substitute goalkeeper.
If Manone hadn't performed well today, and the Queen's Park Rangers forwards were not good at shooting and were not lucky, maybe the Gunners would have fallen behind in the first half.
When the referee announced the break, he was still unsatisfied and hoped that the game would continue, but the Queens Park Rangers team.
The Arsenal players and their coaches lowered their heads in disappointment and hurried into the locker room...
During the intermission, Professor·she made a substitution adjustment and replaced Walcott, who was in poor form today with Chamberlain.
The professor hopes that Chamberlain, who is physically fit and good at breaking through, can inject new vitality into the team's dull midfield and frontcourt and help the Gunners open up offensive space.
Unfortunately, although his idea was good, the actual game effect was still not good.
After the second half of the game began, the Gunners made some symbolic resistance, and then they continued to be pressed under the Queen's Park Rangers, who were like wolves and tigers, and beaten up.
Everything is exactly the same as in the first half.
This situation made Wenger feel very headache.
At the critical moment, the general came out to save the master.
Just like last season, when the team is in trouble, Van Persie can always seize fleeting opportunities and achieve an ideal result for the team.
In the 63rd minute of the game, Diabi passed the ball from the backcourt, and Van Persie successfully counterattacked and rushed to the hinterland of the opponent's defense line.
Faced with the layers of siege of three defenders of Queen's Park Rangers, the general used his super personal ability to break through the crowd and go to the meeting alone, scoring a very exciting personal goal.
2:1!
Van Persie once again helped the Gunners lead the score!
In the poor condition of the team and the passive situation, Van Persie used his ability to fight alone to seize an opportunity that was not very good, help the team score a goal and get a lead in the score.
Such a goal is a reflection of Van Persie's super personal ability.
Van Persie's goal made the professor very excited, and also made the Queens Park Rangers players very depressed and angry.
It is clearly them who have the advantage. Moreover, they work harder than the Gunners. Why are they who are behind the scenes but who work harder?
The Queens Park Rangers players felt very dissatisfied.
If they lose the game in this way, they are afraid they will be depressed for a long time.
So, after Van Persie scored the second goal of the game, the Queens Park Rangers immediately started a large-scale counterattack. Instead of knocking them down, Arsenal's sneak attack made them more intense and more devoted to the attack.
During the attack, Queens Park Rangers began to invest more troops.
In order to get the score back, they tried their best.
Not long after, their efforts achieved good results.
In the 69th minute, taking advantage of a cross from the wing, the Queen's Park Rangers' forward surrounded the penalty area and shot hard with a strong low shot, knocking on the door guarded by Manone again.
2:2
Like the last time, this time, the Queen's Park Rangers equalized the score.
These two teams are just as agreed. If you don’t score, I won’t score either. Once you score, I can score one immediately. No matter how tortuous the process is, the final score will always become a draw...
This scene made Wenger feel very depressed.
He led twice and was equalized twice. How did such a scene happen when Chu Jiang participated in the competition?
In the impression of Arsenal fans, as long as the team is leading, it is very difficult for the opponent to tie the score. Not to mention scoring two goals or tying twice, even if you score one goal, it is a very difficult task to complete.
To be fair, Manone performed well today and had no mistakes. He basically blocked all the shots he deserved to save.
But the problem is that he did not succeed a few times in those difficult saves.
When the team is on the verge of danger and needs him to stand up and save the team, he is always powerless, which ultimately causes losses to the team and disappoints the fans.
It is always difficult to be a substitute for Chu Jiang.
If Arsenal's main goalkeeper is not Chu Jiang, or is not as good as Chu Jiang, Manone's performance today should be considered qualified.
Maybe with his steady performance, he can gain more trust from the team and more opportunities to play.
However, Arsenal's goalkeeper is Chu Jiang.
In this way, when Manone stood in front of Arsenal's goal, he would inevitably be compared with Chu Jiang.
Whenever he tries his best to block his opponent's shot from outside, fans will think in their hearts that it is not difficult for Chu Jiang to save this ball.
Maybe, fans will think that Chu Jiang can even easily carry the football into his arms with such a shot, and even the opportunity to play a corner kick will not be given to his opponent.
Whenever Manone is powerless against his opponent's shot and allows his opponent to break through the goal, fans will be unable to help but wonder, if Chu Jiang guards the goal, will his opponent's goal appear, and will Chu Jiang perform a miracle again to block the opponent's must-have goal out.
Just like today's game.
Manone had obviously given his all, but he was inevitably scored two goals by his opponent.
Although there was no major mistake in his goalkeeper, Arsenal fans could not help but think that if Chu Jiang was guarding the goal, the Queen's Park Rangers' goal might not have any of them.
As Chu Jiang's substitute, this is such a tragedy.
