In the LeTV Sports live broadcast room, as the slow-motion replay of Leicester City's attack appeared, Zhang Lu and the four of them were already chatting enthusiastically, praising Chu Zheng gushingly.
"The most incredible thing about Chu Zheng's through ball is that he accurately seized the fleeting opportunity!"
"If you go slower, Chu Zheng's left foot won't touch the ball. If you go faster, it's also a mistake!"
"But he just caught the perfect opportunity to touch the ball!"
"Yes, this is the most amazing thing about Chu Zheng's passing action just now!" Fan Zhiyi nodded in amazement.
"As well as the part where the ball was touched and the force with which it touched the ball, Chu Zheng made no mistakes. The ball's rolling route was incredibly precise. It went directly in front of Vardy. He measured it just right in advance!"
Countless domestic fans in the live broadcast room were stunned when they heard this analysis by these four people.
Just now, they just thought that Chu Zheng's passing action was very beautiful, the ball was passed accurately, and it was very entertaining to watch, but they didn't realize that there was so much in that simple action.
"Ranieri replaced Mahrez, and the direct consequences have just been revealed!"
"Yes!" Zhang Lu nodded, "Although Leicester City has maintained its defensive system, the lack of Mahrez in the frontcourt has also greatly weakened their counterattack, and Arsenal's defensive pressure can now be said to have been reduced.
A level smaller!”
"Although most of Leicester City's attacks are currently organized by Chu Zheng in the midfield, Mahrez's role on the field cannot be ignored!"
"Many times in the frontcourt, he doesn't just play as a blaster. Many times he has to take on the offensive organization tasks in the frontcourt."
"Especially his ability to break away from the wing and score the ball is outstanding in the Leicester City team, and his tactical role is much greater than that of Vardy, a terminator!"
Just when Zhan Jun and the four were chatting heatedly, in the 68th minute of the game, Wenger made his second substitution adjustment.
Coquelin, who was carrying a yellow card, was replaced by striker Theo Walcott.
On the sidelines, seeing Walcott's appearance, Ranieri's old face suddenly twitched.
Ranieri looked at Wenger standing in the coaching area with his arms folded, a look of helplessness on his face.
The purpose of removing a midfielder and replacing him with a forward is to start a half-court attack and defense.
"Removing a defensive midfielder is a very bold substitution!" Zhang Lu in LeTV's live broadcast room also commented on Wenger's substitution.
Zhan Jun next to him laughed and said: "It seems that Wenger is going to call 424!"
With Walcott's appearance, the positions of Arsenal players also changed.
Chamberlain dropped back to partner with Ramsey, and Walcott took Chamberlain's original position.
Wenger's substitution was like a stroke of genius, fully demonstrating the commanding skills of this world-famous coach.
After the game restarted, in less than three minutes countless football-savvy fans discovered that Arsenal's right wing had become a fast corridor for the Gunners.
The two rockets of little tigers Walcott and Bellerin took turns to attack the completely shrunk Leicester City.
Not only that, after the 424 changes, Ramsey, the midfielder known as the God of Death, was also completely liberated by Wenger.
Ramsey continued to form a small-scale cooperation with Ozil, Sanchez, Monreal, Bellerin and Walcott on the left and right, attacking Leicester City's second half by cutting inside again and again.
A defense system for survival.
In the 72nd minute of the game, Ranie took advantage of the 1996 Gray, who was faster and more impactful, replacing Shinji Okazaki in an attempt to put pressure on Arsenal on the offensive end in order to alleviate the problems faced by Leicester City's defense.
Huge pressure.
But the effect of this substitution is like three plus two minus five, which is equal to zero!
Gray's appearance not only did not put pressure on Arsenal's defensive end, but instead put pressure on his own side because his defensive ability was not as strong as Shinji Okazaki's.
Chu Zheng was depressed by Ranieri's substitution, and he complained crazily in his heart.
Good guy, this is obviously because they think their defense is too good, so they brought in Gray to cause trouble!
On the sidelines, Ranieri soon realized that he had done something bad with good intentions, so he used the last substitution three minutes later.
Drinkwater replaces Albrighton.
This substitution fully demonstrated Ranieri's determination to play the turtle formation.
On the field, Chu Zheng looked at the sky speechlessly.
He wanted to seize the opportunity to score a game-ending suspense, but Ranieri cut off his offensive hands and feet time and time again.
But even if Chu Zheng is unwilling, there is nothing he can do. He is a player and must abide by and implement the head coach's tactical strategies.
In the 78th minute of the game, when Walterke took the ball from the right and was about to break into the penalty area, Chu Zheng committed a tactical foul.
Walcott was robbed by Chu Zheng and was so embarrassed!
The referee Atkinson gave Chu Zheng a yellow card without saying a word and warned Chu Zheng who was suspected of deliberately stepping on the ball.
Chu Zheng was too lazy to offend this guy, so he turned around and left, turning a blind eye to the yellow card Atkinson raised to vent his dissatisfaction with Atkinson.
"Chu Zheng has been a little anxious these days!" Zhang Lu in the LeTV live broadcast room shook her head, "Chu Zheng's energy has been completely diverted to defense during this period."
"In all Chu Zheng's games, we rarely see Chu Zheng commit this kind of tactical foul!"
"This shows the pressure he is facing on the defensive end now!"
On the field, Arsenal's offense and defense continued during the half.
During this period, Leicester City fans were completely quiet, and everyone watched the game on the field with fear.
The only thing that makes these fans feel at ease is that the team with one less player defended very well.
But facing Arsenal's fierce offensive, they really don't know whether Leicester City can defend until the final whistle.
The answer is obviously no!
Not long after, the scene that Leicester City fans least expected to see finally happened!
In the 80th minute of the game, in the middle of the 30-meter area of Leicester City's penalty area, Ramsey received a cross pass from Chamberlain on the right rib. Seeing Chu Zheng waiting for him at the top of the key, Ramsey was scared and took it.
The ball turned around and moved to the left.
Monreal received the ball from the upper left corner of the penalty area. Seeing Gray stuck in his position, he did not force the ball down the bottom. Instead, he knocked the ball back to Ram who was approaching the left rib area.
Said, the offense was very patient.
After Ramsey took the ball, he moved his right foot and started dribbling the ball laterally, but Kanter, who was following him laterally in front of him, always cut off his connection with Sanchez and others in the penalty area.
Arriving at the top of the arc, Ramsey saw that the right side of the penalty area was free again, and he quickly made a long pass.
From the outside of the upper right corner of the penalty area, Bellerin, who was unmarked, raised his foot to easily remove the ball, then calmly adjusted his foot to cross at a 45-degree angle.
The ball landed just to the right of the penalty spot in the penalty area, looking for high center forward Giroud.
Morgan and Huth reacted quickly and quickly picked up Giroud.
But Bellerin's cross was incredibly accurate.
Giroud, who was holding his back, didn't even need to take off. He looked back at the moon and headed the ball into the right side of the small penalty area.
The next second, Walcott relied on his sufficient physical fitness and explosive power to start. In the upper right corner of the small penalty area, facing the attacking Schmeichel, he stepped up and shot. The ball went from Schmeichel's right armpit with his arms outstretched.
It flew past and then got into the Leicester City goal.
"boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The moment the goal was scored, all the Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium stood up and gave an earth-shattering cheer. The thousands of raised arms were like an endless wave on the sea.
"Walcott!!!!!!!!!!!"
"This is a very crucial goal!!!!"
"2-2!! The balance of the game has completely tilted towards Arsenal!!!!" Zhan Jun suddenly shouted in the live broadcast room.
In the coaching area on the sidelines, Wenger bent his knees slightly, raised his arms, turned to face the stands, and was also roaring, shouting, and venting!
On the field, listening to the raging sound in his ears, Chu Zheng felt his ears ringing and his head felt a little dizzy.
He expected this goal to be conceded.
The team's defense has never been trustworthy in his mind, and the abilities of Huth, Morgan and others are not enough to keep opponents clean.
This is an ironclad fact!
Therefore, from the moment Simpson was sent off, he knew that the retreating and defensive strategy replaced by Ranieri would be difficult to stabilize the situation.
Arsenal's current control-oriented style of play makes them exhausted with one less player to play.
Further consumption of physical energy will also reduce their defensive quality, so it is only a matter of time before the defensive system that the team relies on is broken.
Although the score was equalized, the Arsenal players celebrated very restrainedly, obviously not satisfied with the 2-2 score.
So the game quickly got back on track.
But after the restart, Arsenal's third goal, which was fully dominant, never came.
This makes countless Gunners fans extremely anxious.
On the sidelines, seeing Chu Zheng, Huth, Morgan and others blocking their shots time and time again, Wenger became anxious.
If they want to take the initiative in the championship, they must win this game.
Soon, in a desperate move, Wenger used up the last substitution.
In the 83rd minute of the game, Welbeck, who came from Manchester United's youth training and was kicked out by Louis van Gaal, replaced Chamberlain, who had a low offensive efficiency in this game, and set up a high point in the penalty area in an attempt to break through.
Leicester City turtle shell.
After this substitution, Arsenal ushered in a continuous bombardment, constantly taking the ball from both wings.
In the 84th minute of the game, Ozil started from the right and passed to the back of the penalty area, accurately finding Welbeck. However, due to Chu Zheng's interference, Welbeck's header went wide.
In the 86th minute of the game, Monreal got Chu Zheng's clearance ball on the left side of the penalty area and passed it to the back post.
Giroud fired from close range in front of the right area but was saved by Schmeichel.
In the 88th minute of the game, it was Monreal again. He broke into the penalty area from the left and got rid of Vasileski and then crossed into the middle of the penalty area.
Ramsey followed up and shot, but at the critical moment Chu Zheng stretched his foot and rubbed the ball away from the goal again.
When the game entered four minutes of injury time, Chu Zheng could no longer run.
Arsenal continued to attack, showing their extreme desire to win.
However, just when everyone thought the game would end in a 2-2 draw, the fifth goal came unexpectedly.
At 93 minutes and 43 seconds of the game, Chu Zheng used his last bit of strength to jump up and clear the ball in the penalty area.
The landing point was in the right rib area at the top of the arc. Vasilewski immediately rushed out of the penalty area and ran towards the landing point.
But Monreal, who was lagging behind, was fast and in a more advantageous position. He reached the landing point first, took off, and headed the ball to Walcott.
However, the ball had already flown away, but Vasilevskiy still jumped up and hit Monreal in the face with his hands clasped together.
This incomprehensible foul instantly wiped out the gains Leicester City had worked so hard to hold on to.
At 93 minutes and 59 seconds of the game, Ozil took a free kick and the ball went straight to the center of Leicester City's penalty area.
This time Chu Zheng, who was physically weak, failed to take off, leaving Welbeck, who was full of energy, pinned down.
In full view of everyone, Welbeck jumped sideways and shook his head. The ball was knocked backwards by him, hit the inside of the left post and bounced into the net.
The moment the buzzer-beater hit, the Emirates Stadium went completely crazy, and a sea of red and white billowed in the stands!
The Arsenal players were so excited that they even jumped over the pitchside billboard and jumped into the arms of the crazy Gunners fans.
