Rennes coach Stefan was actually very embarrassed.
In today's second round of the game, he dragged all the main players over and started them all.
Goalkeeper: Gobik.
Defenders: Messer, Doumbia, Zephaneh, Namath;
Midfielder: Green, Ben Alda, Bruno, Andre, Sarr;
Forward: Niang.
And I spent a week preparing many tactics to deal with Luo Wu. Today at the Emirates Stadium is for a last-ditch battle.
But Luo Wu didn't start the game at all, and is now sitting on the bench leisurely.
Look down on them.
Stefan regards this game as a life and death battle, but Arsenal is not nervous at all and has no intention of a life and death battle. What kind of life and death battle is a 4:1 lead?
Unless the score of this game becomes 0:3 first.
But is this possible?
This is Arsenal's home ground.
Besides, once the score really becomes dangerous, Emery will definitely send Luo Wu to play as soon as possible and will never let the team go to the edge of the cliff.
In fact, the betting companies are not optimistic about Rennes at all. Judging from the handicap offered by major betting companies, although Luo Wu did not start the game, they are still optimistic about Arsenal allowing Rennes to score two goals at home.
It can be said that there is no suspense at all.
No matter how poorly Arsenal plays, they will never be eliminated at home.
Arsenal fans were very excited and sang Luo Wu's songs before the game started. Even though Luo Wu did not play in the game, he is still the fans' favorite.
After the whistle sounded, Arsenal put on a defensive counterattack posture.
This is not Arsenal at all. In the past, Arsenal were famous for their smooth offensive advancement, but now they actually put on a defensive posture.
Because they don't need to compete with their opponents on goals at all, as long as their opponent Rennes is anxious.
Emery just wanted to win the game in the cheapest way.
Of course, the Rennes team was not polite either. They were rushing to meet the ball. After the game started, they turned around and suppressed Arsenal within half-time.
Soon, the Rennes team won the first chance to hit the goal. Under the interference of Holding, forward Niang tried a long shot from outside the penalty area.
The ball missed by a hair, almost rolling into the right side of the goal.
However, the Rennes team's shot did not attract the attention of the Arsenal players. In the subsequent games, they still played very relaxedly. Although they gave control of the midfield to the Rennes team, the defense in the backcourt was still gradually
Entered into a state.
It seems like everything is going smoothly.
After all, the Rennes team has no superstars or explosive figures who can break through. They can only find holes in Arsenal's defense through teamwork.
Their second shot was outrageous. It was a shot by Niang. This time he held Holding in the penalty area and headed the ball back to the upper left corner of the goal. As a result, the goal was
Run for the corner flag.
The Arsenal fans in the stands let out deafening jeers.
Ever since Arsenal's performance became the best in Europe, Arsenal fans have become increasingly frustrated.
I look down on the Rennes team.
After that, Arsenal finally ushered in its first counterattack. After Iwobi on the left got the ball, he and Haaland hit the wall and hit the bottom line. Then Iwobi swept the ball back to the center in an inverted triangle.
, Xhaka followed up and shot with a kick.
But the quality of the shot was not very good, and the ball also missed the goal.
The Leian team resolutely played a fast break. After the midfielder Andre got the ball, he passed it directly to the front midfielder Ben Arfa.
Ben Arfa turned his back to Mustafi and knocked the ball to Niang with his heel. Niang once again shot with his right foot from the top of the penalty area.
This time he finally hit the ball with his toe, and the ball went straight to the lower right corner of the goal. However, Arsenal's third goalkeeper Martinez made a very accurate judgment and shot the ball out of the baseline with a side dive.
Rennes only won a chance to attack from a corner kick.
"Ben Arfa's back-heel pass just now was very beautiful. He has a very strong technical foundation. He was still a figure back then. It's a pity that at the peak of his debut, he became more and more confused as he played. In the end, he could only be reduced to a ball like Rennes.
Among the team, I remember Arsenal was still interested in Ben Arfa, but in the end they just took away Nasri."
"Of the four guys known as the Four Little Swans in France, only Benzema made it out in the end."
Kaladze was explaining the history of Ben Arfa, but at this time, Ben Arfa suddenly pocketed the ball near the corner flag.
Without waiting for the Arsenal players to make defensive arrangements, goalkeeper Martinez did not stand in a good position. As a result, the ball spun strongly and went directly into the near corner as everyone was stunned.
“goooooooooooal!”
"oh!"
"oh!"
"Oh, haha, God! The ball actually went straight in. What on earth was Martinez doing? Didn't he watch Alfa kick off? Even all the Arsenal players didn't notice! It was too sudden."
“Perfect work of art.”
"Haha, it's really funny. This is the consequences of underestimating your opponent. Sure enough, Ben Arfa still made two mistakes. He scored directly from the corner kick. The score of this game became 1:0, and the total score became 2:4.
It looks like Rennes really has a chance."
“If the Chinese can do it, Alpha can do it too!”
No one dares to believe it.
Ben Arfa scored in such a stunning way.
Wodefake!
Luo Wu, who was sitting on the bench, rubbed his eyes. He really couldn't believe that the ball could still be kicked in.
Martinez was too good, and he scored directly from a corner kick.
This Ben Alpha is really good...
Luo Wu also knew the character of Ben Arfa, and he had heard of the Four Little Swans when watching football before.
In the first round, Ben Arfa failed to start, and now he is back in the second round. Before the game, Emery specifically mentioned the threat of Ben Arfa and asked everyone to guard against him.
I guess everyone didn't take it to heart at the time, but now they are suffering in the competition.
The Emirates Stadium fell silent for an instant, and the cheers of hundreds of Rennes fans soon echoed throughout the stadium.
This face is so painful from being beaten.
I thought I would just beat the opponent at home, but ended up letting the opponent score first.
The total score was 4:2, but there wasn’t much pressure, it was just too ugly.
Emery stood angrily on the edge of the court, obviously very dissatisfied with the conceded goal. He thought to himself that the third goalkeeper is the third goalkeeper, and he actually conceded such a shameful goal.
But now the main goalkeeper has not returned, and his comeback is far away, so he can only make do with the third goalkeeper. During the winter break, he considered buying another goalkeeper, but he thought to himself, no matter how good the goalkeeper is, what's the use?
, the defense also has to keep up. Arsenal is strong in offense, not defense. Think about it and forget it in the end...
The Rennes players did not celebrate. Ben Arfa who scored the goal was the first to run back to the midfield. The other teammates originally wanted to celebrate, but when they saw that there was no happy expression on Ben Arfa's face, they followed him back.
Because they knew that this goal would not bring them promotion, they needed at least two more goals.
Emery was depressed, but he still stood still. It was normal to concede the goal at the beginning, and there was still a lot of time.
This is all habitual thinking...
The same was true for Luo Wu, who continued to sit next to the chair in a daze.
The Arsenal players on the field didn't pay much attention, but then they once again experienced the violent attack of Rennes.
They once again suppressed Arsenal inside the half, and then completed a long shot from outside the penalty area. The ball hit Holding's left leg and went out of the baseline, winning another corner kick.
Martinez didn't dare to be careless this time. When Ben Arfa stood at the corner flag, his eyes never left Ben Arfa and he firmly guarded the front point.
Ben Arfa took a tactical corner kick, and then his teammates drew the ball into Arsenal's small penalty area. As a result, the ball was cleared by Kolasinac.
Xhaka got the ball outside the penalty area and immediately poked it to Harland. Unfortunately, Harland was hugged from behind by his opponent and failed to handle the ball well. Fortunately, the referee blew the whistle with his sharp eyes.
Although the opponent committed a foul, Arsenal failed to make a fast break.
Rennes' tactical goal was achieved, and Arsenal then switched to a positional battle, hitting the wall twice and reaching the Rennes half.
Without Luo Wu's control and dispatch in the frontcourt, Arsenal failed to show any creativity. In the end, Van de Beek lobbed the ball into the penalty area to find Haaland, and the ball disappeared.
Rennes midfielder Sarr got the ball and immediately sent an overhead long pass. Ben Alfal jumped in the air and unloaded the ball steadily like an eagle, without even looking at the goal.
, immediately hit a curve ball.
The ball went straight to the back post of Arsenal's penalty area. Striker Niang shook off Holding and dived towards the top!
Martinez didn't think much about it, he just pounced down with both hands extended, but the ball was beyond his expectation, and the ball went higher than the lintel.
If the Rennes team has a super shooter, the score may be much ahead now.
Head coach Stefan raised his fists in the air and then lowered them dejectedly. He didn't know that the Rennes team lacked a shooter.
Niang wasted his chance and covered his face with his hands. He couldn't believe that he could resist such an outrage.
Mbaye Niang.
He could also be regarded as a genius boy back then. He was once the second youngest goalscorer in the history of the French top league and a member of Caen's regular lineup.
He became the main player at the age of 15 and later transferred directly to AC Milan in Serie A.
But the problem didn't get out of him. After leaving Milan, his situation became worse and worse.
Since there is no progress, there is only regression. Niang now regrets that he missed this goal.
But soon he turned his frustration into motivation, ran all the way back, and ended up blocking Van Der Beek's ball outside his own penalty area!
The ball was blocked by him with his left foot and passed to his teammate.
The Rennes team's attack once again swept forward. After right midfielder Sarr got the ball, he made a wide movement and found Ben Arfa again.
When veteran Ben Arfa faced Lichtsteiner with his back, he easily got rid of Lichtsteiner with a perfect Marseille slalom!
In recent games, Emery has put veteran Lichtsteiner in the defensive midfielder position, but Lichtsteiner's physical fitness and condition are obviously not good enough, and the defense is like a big colander.
Now that Ben Arfa got rid of him, the midfield goal of Arsenal's backcourt was wide open. Ben Arfa glanced in front of the goal, and no one could stop him in time. His left foot was firmly planted on the turf, and his right leg was completely
Stretch out.
By the time Xhaka realized the danger, Ben Arfa had already completed the shot.
With a buzzing sound, the ball rose up from the ground, quickly drew a strong arc, and went straight to the upper left corner of the goal. Martinez, who was standing on the goal line, was stunned for half a second before reacting.
It flew up in the air, and before I could reach out my left hand, the ball hit the upper left corner of the goal.
!!!
This is a perfect world wave.
It would be the same if it were any world-class player in the world.
"goooooooooal!"
"It's Ben Alpha again!"
"Ben Arfa actually scored twice in just 10 minutes, abruptly turning the score on the field into 2:0, and the total score became 3:4."
Is this the blooming of the old cow iron tree?
Or is Lian Po still young?
Anyway, it’s like taking expired x-drugs and becoming omnipotent.
The situation on the field suddenly changed, and Arsenal, who were in a great situation, fell behind by two goals.
"Fake!"
"What are you fools doing,"
"That's it? It becomes 0:2? Can't I take a good rest? Alas!"
Luo Wu spread his hands, and then looked at the coach Emery not far away. Unexpectedly, Emery also sighed and turned his head. The two people just met each other's eyes. After their eyes intertwined, they both understood what the other was thinking.
.
What else can you do? Warm up quickly.
We have to play. If we keep playing like this, Rennes will probably equalize the score soon.
It’s really unreliable at all, these guys on the field.
When Luo Wu was there, they behaved vigorously and vigorously.
As long as Luo Wu is not on the court, they are like tops without direction, not knowing how to turn or how to play football.
"Ben Alpha!"
"This guy is in really good shape today. He scored two goals in a row. What I thought was a one-sided game has now turned into a life-or-death situation. Arsenal without the Chinese is still a loser. It looks like it will be fast."
The Chinese are about to come on stage."
"This is not good news for the Rennes team, but the worst news. After the Chinese come up, the situation will definitely be reversed, but if they have not scored two goals now, the Chinese will also
Won't come off the bench to warm up."
Yes, Luo Wu had already thrown his coat on the bench, then walked into the field lightly and started running slowly on the side of the court.
In this cold weather, if he doesn't move around first, he won't be able to relax when playing a game and will be easily injured, so he needs to warm up for at least 5 minutes.
If he plays, he should be replaced by a midfielder, and Arsenal will switch to two forwards.
Or Luo Wu will play in the midfield position.
Rennes coach Stefan has noticed all this, and while feeling uneasy, he has already stood on the edge of the court and shouted loudly.
The God of Death is coming, everyone should cheer up.
The Rennes players on the pitch did not notice Luo Wu, but everyone off the pitch changed their minds after hearing it.
But Haaland was anxious. He had only touched the ball twice since the start of the game, two meaningless touches.
This time Van de Beek once again handed the ball to his feet, but although he stopped the ball, the two central defenders flanked him and the ball was lost again.
Although he is tall and powerful, he still has no way to deal with the defense of the two central defenders, and his foot skills are still a bit rough.
He is a big center.
He should be grabbing points and completing the final blow, rather than being a wooden peg for his teammates.
It's not that he can't do it, but it's not his best feature.
This loss of the ball once again led to a counterattack by the Rennes team. It was Ben Arfa who took the ball again and made a cool and long diagonal pass with his right foot to Saka on the right.
Saka once again completed a low pass, and this time Niang forced a right-footed shot from the right side of the penalty area.
Full of power!
Finally, the shot was on target, but the problem was that it was too on target, and the ball went directly into Martinez's chest.
Niang missed another opportunity again, followed by Martinez trying to play a fast break, and directly threw the ball to Harland.
This time Haaland learned a lesson. He first stood in position, and then found a way to tip the ball back to Xhaka who came forward.
Xhaka also sent a long diagonal pass, and the ball was passed to Iwobi on the left.
Iwobi was also very fast. He jumped up in advance before the opponent came up and moved his head to the middle.
Van der Beek got the ball, took two steps with the ball, and then passed the ball to Harland in front again.
Haaland leaned on one of the central defenders and turned left. When he saw that other teammates did not follow, he simply kicked him.
The ball went near the corner flag. He didn't hit the correct position and hit a tragic outside kick.
"Shh~"
Suddenly boos broke out in the stands.
Arsenal fans are dissatisfied with this guy. It was a great honor to not boo him when he entered the field just now.
Now that you have such a smelly kick, do you still want a raise at this level?
Originally, his status in the hearts of Arsenal fans was okay, but after the scandal between him and Manchester City broke out, Arsenal fans were unhappy and felt that Haaland was a guy who only saw money.
Now it was Chi Guoguo who expressed dissatisfaction with him.
As for the boos from so many fans, Haaland was not deaf, so he could hear it clearly. When had he ever been booed by fans like this before, and suddenly he felt a little cold in his heart.
Emery couldn't help it anymore and had already walked to Luo Wu and started chatting. It seemed that he was planning a strategy for him to go up.
But at this moment, the Rennes team's offense once again advanced to the left rear of Arsenal. Rennes' teammate Saka in the right midfielder stepped on the bicycle twice in a row and then dunked the ball back. He was probably not satisfied with Niang.
The ball was not passed into Arsenal's penalty area in time.
On the contrary, this deceived Arsenal's defense and they all ran back into the penalty area.
The ball was passed to Bruno, and Bruno passed the ball to another teammate Andre.
Andre faced Lichtsteiner and tipped the ball gently to Ben Arfa.
This time Lichtsteiner and Xhaka instantly flanked Ben Arfa, but Ben Arfa's feet acted like magic, pulling his left foot and buckling his right foot, and missed the flanking attack of Xhaka and Lichtsteiner.
At the same time, he hooked the ball up.
A pretty nice fried meatball!
What a shame, the chrysanthemums suddenly bloomed.
This pass was a textbook pass, but Ben Arfa's performance was not over yet. He immediately sent his left foot forward, and a scalpel-like through ball came out. The ball accurately rolled to Niang.
Niang barely made any adjustments, and took the ball with his right foot, shooting from the instep!
It works this time!
But Martinez seems to have enough experience with Niang's shooting. He has a good position and accurately hits the ball outside the penalty area with both fists!
but!
What he didn't expect was that the ball fell in front of Ben Arfa. Facing the falling ball, Ben Arfa immediately swung his foot, and his left foot with a large swing quickly hit the middle of the ball.
boom!
A beautiful outward spin arc instantly slid across the sky and headed towards the upper left corner of the goal.
Martinez just climbed up from the lawn and was completely unable to make a save. He could only watch the ball fall into the net.
"goal!"
"goooooal!"
“goooooooooooal!”
"Beautiful! This ball is so beautiful. It's Ben Arfa again. Ben Arfa actually completed a hat trick."
“The condition is really great.”
"Ben Arfa, hat-trick."
"In this state, you can't tell that he is in his thirties at all. He looks more like a superstar playing for a wealthy club."
"This is the highlight of his career. He evoked the fans' memory with three brilliant goals."
"Both sides have returned to the same starting line."
Ben Alpha abruptly pulled Team Rennes back from the dead end.
He is indeed the biggest star in the Rennes team.
Nice thighs!
Emery, who is also French, couldn't help but spit on the turf.
Why weren't you so awesome before?
Did you take the wrong medicine today? Is Zidane possessed...
Just a little too late, he scored again.
Easy difficulty suddenly changed to Hard difficulty.
What a traffic game again!
Don't think about anything, just go to Luo Wu. It would be too funny to expect Haaland on the court...
Haaland, can't you be more upbeat?
Doesn’t Haaland always want to prove himself?
But not at critical times.
forget it,
Don't take any chances.
He eventually sent Luo Wu.
Haaland's face was full of confusion.
He didn't even know what he was playing. The opponent scored three goals in a row, and he made no achievements.
During these times on the court, they made no contribution. If he scored a goal now, he would not be so embarrassed now.
Originally, he had a separate stage of his own. If Luo Wu was not on the court, he still thought that he could lead the team to win easily.
But the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny.
