Chapter 577: The Overall Situation (Part 2)

Seeing the goal post save Florence, Wenger's face seemed to be covered with a dark cloud. He has been engaged in professional football for decades and is very familiar with the sport of football. He knows the reason why missed opportunities are often punished.

"Pay attention to defense, don't just think about attacking."

Wenger shouted at the Arsenal players on the court that he was too familiar with these players. He clearly saw the word "despair" from their performance, and this time it was often the most dangerous.

However, there is not much time now, and Arsenal is still behind Fiorentina. It is impossible for them to think of a stable game at this time. Arsenal must take risks. Therefore, some Arsenal players heard Wenger's shout, but no one would focus more on defense. The so-called death of fish or breaking the net is the best description of the situation of Arsenal players.

Now the mood of Fiorentine players is not much better than that of Arsenal players. The head coach can think a lot on the court. The players on the court have no chance to think about random thoughts. Arsenal's attack just now has already played Fiorentine's fearlessness. There is no mind to think about what kind of disaster will lead to good luck. Now most Fiorentine players are just thinking about defending the last ten minutes, and the counterattack is temporarily put behind their minds.

It is said that most Fiorentine players are not focused on defense because there are two players who are not focused entirely on defense, one is Chen Yu and the other is Tony.

Chen Yu is the core and spiritual leader of Fiorentina. He often plays the role of a coach on the court. Although Arsenal is very fast now and the situation in Fiorentina is not good, Chen Yu must not only defend his opponent's attack and counterattack. In addition to being good at defense, a very important point is that the counterattack must be ruthless. Without sharp counterattacks, no matter how strong the defense is, it cannot stop the opponent's endless attack. Chen Yu must consider counterattacks and seize the fleeting counterattack opportunities in the opponent's attack.

Because of his height and weight, Tony was at the forefront, and it was difficult to come back to defend. Apart from defensive set-pieces, most of his tasks were offense. After losing the best opportunity in the first half, Tony's desire for goals had reached an unparalleled level, otherwise he would not have competed for a penalty kick with Chen Yu. He did not grab the penalty kick, and Tony's desire to score was only stronger.

For other teams, only two out of 10 attacks will feel overwhelmed and weak, but in Fiorentina, the two are enough.

The combined number of goals Chen Yu and Tony has exceeded UU goals, which is a very terrifying number, because many teams have not scored more than UU goals in a season. The two of them can almost reach the full potential of many teams. They are responsible for counterattacks, and Arsenal head coach Wenger has to frequently remind players to be cautious and not to take advantage of loopholes by Fiorentina.

As time goes by, Arsenal's offensive becomes more and more powerful, and Fiorentina's defense seems to be even weaker, just like a leaf in the wind in the winter and a small boat in the waves.

There are very few fans who can still sit quietly in their seats and watch under such an offensive. Most of them stand there nervously, clench their fists, staring at the famous players fighting on the court, waiting for the verdict of fate.

At the last ten minutes, almost all Fiorentine players focused on defense, because as long as Arsenal did not score, Fiorentina could advance. At this time, who would have other ideas. Even the only striker Tony retreated to his half and often came to the front of the penalty area to defend. Of course, he had no choice but to not retreat. Arsenal's defenders were all over the middle circle, and Tony would be offside if he didn't go back.

At this time, only Chen Yu was thinking about counterattacking. The other teammates just wanted to defend because they wanted to advance to the finals too much. Chen Yu thought about counterattacking because they wanted to advance to the finals too much.

The less time, the worse it is to Arsenal. Similarly, because only away goals are the dominant, so the less time, Fiorentina is also dangerous. If Arsenal scores, Fiorentina will not even have a chance to equalize. This is something that Chen Yu cannot accept. He has his own plans, so he absolutely cannot accept that Fiorentina is blocked from the final.

"Luca, don't go back to defense, I'll do it."

At a chance to die, Chen Yu ran to Tony and shouted loudly to him.

Tony was stunned for a moment, "What else do you think if you don't defend at this time?"

Chen Yu had already run to Tony at this time, stared in his eyes and said, "We need another goal, don't you want to score another one?"

Of course, Tony wanted to score one, otherwise he would not have competed with Chen Yu for the penalty kick. However, seeing that he had too little time, he gave up the idea of ​​scoring. When Chen Yu mentioned it, Tony's heart became lively again. He really wanted to score a goal too much. This was not only to make up for the empty goal in the first half, but also to this World Cup in the summer. If he could score a goal in such an important game, it would be very important for him to win the main position of the national team.

"We still have a chance to score?" Tony asked back.

Chen Yu said: "They have completely ignored the defense. As long as we are willing to catch it, there will definitely be a chance.

"Okay." Tony immediately made a decision not to go back to defend, but returned to the central circle and stood with Arsenal's defender to prepare for a counterattack.

Chen Yu was right. Arsenal has indeed ignored the defense. Even the steady Wenger can no longer think about the defense. In less than ten minutes, he will be eliminated if he doesn't score. What's the point of Arsenal people trying to defend? They all attacked, and it depends on who scored the goal first.

In football games, offense and defense are a contradiction. If there are more troops to attack, less troops to attack, and vice versa. Now Arsenal has almost all players invested in offense. Defence is of course ineffective, but the reason why it is not broken by Fiorentina is because Fiorentina has used all its strength to defend and has no power to attack at all. So even if there is no one in Arsenal's half, their goal is safe. Now Chen Yu and Tony have made plans to counterattack, and Arsenal's crisis has come.

In the RU minute of the game, Arsenal failed to score for a long time. Seeing Fiorentina set up an iron barrel formation, he shot from the outside, trying to pull Fiorentina's defense out of the penalty area with a long shot. However, Reyes, who came on the bench, kicked the ball into the defender and bounced it into Chen Yu's arms. Chen Yu hung the ball towards Fiorentina's half without hesitation, and then rushed forward at high speed.

Chen Yu did this move many times, but the ball he hung over was either snatched by the defender or cleared by the goalkeeper. Tony did not grab it once. This time Chen Yu and Tony were not discouraged and still ran over to find opportunities to counterattack.

This time, Chen Yu's ball was placed in a very good position, just in the middle of goalkeeper Lehman and two defenders. At the first moment, Lehman thought the defender would go to get the ball, and the defender thought the goal would go to get the ball. Everyone misunderstood, but they didn't go to get the ball as soon as possible. At this time, Tony rushed over without hesitation, and he took the lead over Arsenal's defender and goalkeeper.

Arsenal's defender and goalkeeper realized that something was wrong and started to chase the ball almost at the same time, but the best time for them to get the ball was lost.

Arsenal only had two players back to defense at the first time, while Fiorentina only had two players attacking at the first time. In the huge space, whoever got the ball first would have an absolute advantage.

Tony understood this truth, and he went all out toward the ball and took out all his strength.

Tony is a high center forward, his speed is not fast, and of course it cannot be considered slow. At least the short-distance sprint is good, and the first step of the first move finally played a role here. Tony grabbed the ball before the two Arsenal defenders.

This is the second time the ball has fallen after it bounces up. Tony can push the ball, drive the ball into the penalty area, or directly shoot the ball, because goalkeeper Lehman has not yet returned.

However, both options are difficult. Driving the ball into the penalty area requires a very fast speed. Tony cannot guarantee that he can be faster than two defenders without the ball, and the lob shot requires a high accuracy. However, Tony ran too fast just now, and it is difficult for him to control his body, let alone lob shots the goal a few dozen meters away.

At this time, Tony made an unexpected choice. Instead of moving forward, he rubbed the ball backward and passed the ball behind the guard who was chasing him.

This is a smart choice, because the defender has tried his best to chase Tony, and he has no way to stop quickly and turn back to grab the ball. This is another tacit choice, because even when he is running with all his might, Tony knew that Chen Yu would definitely keep up.

Chen Yu did not disappoint Tony's pass. He rushed a few steps, lowered his head and pushed the ball, and drove the ball into Arsenal's penalty area at high speed.

When Tony headed the ball, the two Arsenal defenders didn't know what was going on behind him because of their position issues, but the fans and other players could see clearly. Seeing Chen Badminton take the ball, the Fiorentine cheered excitedly, while the Arsenal covered his eyes in despair.

According to statistics, the probability of scoring a single shot is as high as 70%, but Chen Yu's probability of scoring a single shot is almost 100%. It seems that Chen Yu has not missed a single shot yet. Seeing Chen Badminton get the ball, how could the Arsenal not be desperate?
