When Luo Wu passed the player's tunnel, the curses of Rennes fans could be heard very clearly.
It's as unpleasant as it sounds. At that moment, he really wanted to raise his middle finger to the Rennes fans, but he calmed down. After all, this was the knockout round of the Europa League, and he didn't want to be sent off in the second round.
In the stands.
Now everyone wants him to die. The middle finger can be a big or small thing. If he is suspended for ten games, this season's Europa League will be in trouble.
But there had to be some response, so he simply raised his right hand, waved to the bleachers where the loudest curses came from, and responded to them with a smile.
This kind of provocation to the referee would definitely have no effect on him, but Emery quickly ran over, put his arm around his shoulders, and almost dragged him into the tunnel.
"Boy, don't cause trouble anymore. It's been a mess today."
"If you provoke them again, there will be greater trouble in the second half. These people are crazy, you know?"
"I can't just be a coward and let them scold me. I have to retaliate with something." Luo Wu argued.
Back in the dressing room, Emery once again emphasized court discipline.
"The people here are all lunatics, don't provoke them again."
"We have so many injured players now that it's a bit difficult to get 11 people to start the game, so when we play away games, we try to be as low-key as possible."
"No unnecessary accidents can happen."
"Try to be friendly and stop when you're good..." His eyes fell on Luo Wu, "Especially you, don't cause any more trouble. Your booing celebration just now has offended your opponent.
People will definitely want to kill you in the second half."
"And you." Then he looked at the other disciples.
"Don't always pass the ball to him. If you don't pass the ball to him, won't you know how to kick the ball, and won't you be able to score goals? When you are leading like this, you have to play boldly and think
Find ways to score goals, don't always rely on your captain!"
ha?
All the disciples were extremely embarrassed and looked at each other. They couldn't find a way to pass the ball to the captain. Wasn't that what you meant?
Now it's our fault?
Pass the ball to the captain and things will become easier. If it is given to us, can we score so many goals?
Emery seemed to see everyone's thoughts, and then said with a straight face.
"When leading by two goals, the captain's biggest role on the court is to intimidate him. As long as he stands on the court, someone from the other side will definitely come to mark him, or even two people. Doesn't this create an opportunity for you? But
If you still give him the ball, the other side will definitely get angry."
"Do you understand what I mean? Protect the captain, and the best way to protect the captain is to share his offensive pressure and not pass the ball to him!"
Luo Wu, who was standing aside, looked embarrassed. Why did he feel like a giant baby and needed protection?
Having said that, can you still not understand?
"Boy, you haven't scored yet..." Emery pointed at Haaland and said.
"Have you noticed? There is a very contemptuous saying about you on the Internet, saying that you bully the weak and fear the strong. You can score goals when you face weak teams, but you can't do it when you face strong teams. Especially in the European war.
You have to perform better in the competition, but now you can’t even score against the weak teams?”
Haaland:…
This is obviously a psychological warfare, deliberately irritating Haaland.
How can Haaland bear it?
After changing sides in the second half, offensive resources were basically concentrated on Haaland.
Luo Wu was just bluffing behind him.
But the Rennes team's heavy defensive force is around Luo Wu.
At first, the Rennes team did not notice Arsenal's tactical adjustment.
In the first 10 minutes, Arsenal teammates passed the ball to Haaland in limited opportunities.
Haaland got two opportunities to score, but he was too anxious, probably to prove that he was not just a bully. As a result, he missed the opportunity to score one after another.
After the Rennes coach reacted, Haaland was stared at.
After all, the Rennes team has one more player, so there is still not much pressure in organizing defense.
Their investment in the offensive end has not decreased. Although the score of 1:3 is a bit big, they firmly believe that they still have a chance.
In the 59th minute, Rennes made a breakthrough on the left and completed a cross. However, the Rennes forward's ability to capture opportunities was so bad that he almost pushed his right foot into the lower right corner of the goal near the unmarked penalty spot.
, the ball actually missed the post.
After missing this opportunity, the Rennes forward tackled Hestafe who was holding the ball at the top of the penalty area, but the referee did not give him a card.
Although Hestafe was a little depressed, he got up and quickly sent a long overhead pass. This ball gave Haaland a chance to stand alone, but Haaland unexpectedly hit the ball.
On the goalkeeper's chest, another missed opportunity.
The Rennes team immediately launched a quick counterattack and penetrated Arsenal's defense with three passes. This time there was a gap on Arsenal's right, and the ball was passed in an inverted triangle into Arsenal's penalty area, but this time Martinez was decisive.
He struck out and threw the ball into his arms.
This time Arsenal did not have a fast break and continued to make mistakes in the backcourt.
Luo Wu also came back to assist in the midfield, but his teammates did not pass the ball to him.
The two Rennes players followed in vain for so long. Iwobi on the left took the ball and played a wall-to-wall coordination with Haaland, then drove straight in from the left.
Haaland rushed forward desperately, intending to outflank the center. In the end, Iwobi passed the ball into the penalty area, but Haaland was half a beat slower. The ball was too fast, and the ball went all the way to the other end of the penalty area.
Van der Beek ran to the sideline to stop the ball, and then passed it back to Xhaka in an inverted triangle. At this time, Luo Wu appeared on the left side of the top of the penalty area. Xhaka did not pass the ball, and hit the east and west with one move.
, pushed forward to Van de Beek who was re-inserting, and Van de Beek met the ball and fired an angry shot.
It was rare that he hit the far corner, but the Rennes goalkeeper saved the ball!
The ball almost whizzed past Haaland's ears. He missed it just a little bit and he was able to block the ball into the goal, but his luck was so bad that he couldn't touch it.
The Rennes team's penalty area was in chaos. The Rennes players who were following Luo Wu deserted and did not notice that Luo Wu quickly moved to the left!
The ball fell in front of Luo Wu.
At this time, the Rennes players were dumbfounded.
Luo Wu raised his left foot, pushed the ball with the arch of his foot, and shot into the far corner!
The ball slowly landed in the upper right corner of the goal. When the goalkeeper just got up, the ball had already hit the net.
Although the movements are elegant and simple, it is extremely difficult. It would be impossible to do without excellent footwork.
You can put the ball into the goal while walking, who can you tell me?
Walter?
Haaland is very miserable.
He couldn't get one even though he tried his best, but Luo Wu seemed to be able to do it with a little effort.
He didn't even celebrate.
The wind is gentle and the clouds are calm, 4:1.
The most terrible thing is that Emery made a substitution and Luo Wu was replaced.
