Chapter 136 The Battle of Highbury (4)

"Counterattack! Fiorentina's chance! Come on, the guys from Arsenal! Don't let the damn Italian conspiracy succeed!" Just as Effenberg broke the ball, Zhuang Mingge's screams came from his headphones.

"Hey, is there no problem with such a tendency to explain?" Zhuang Mingge asked Kalin very depressedly.

Zhuang Mingge's question was exchanged for Karin's rolling eyes: "Isn't it normal for the commentator to have a team he supports? Moreover, such a tendency can attract the attention of fans, and if it creates a debate, it can also increase the popularity of the TV station. How could anyone not be happy?"

"..." Zhuang Mingge was speechless. He remembered that at the later World Cup in Germany, Huang Jianxiang's "shocking roar" was criticized by countless "bricks called beasts". Liu XX even said that "football commentary should not have subjective tendencies." What kind of idiotic logic is this!

You said that the two foreign teams played games, and the commentators of the Celestial Dynasty tended to one of them. Is there anything unforgivable? It’s not that the Celestial Dynasty national team was playing...

If you have the time to pick on the tendency of commentary, it is better to strengthen the training of commentators as soon as possible. Zhuang Mingge, when he heard some people's commentary, he watched the game silently...

Just as Zhuang Mingge was complaining about the commentary style of the Celestial Empire, Djokaf had already dribbled the ball to the front of Arsenal's penalty area. Behind him was Arsenal's captain Adams.

Djokaf secretly swept around with the corner of his eyes and found that several opponent's defenders were moving closer to him, trying to resolve the crisis in time. However, the French did not give Arsenal this opportunity. When he rushed to the top of the penalty area, he suddenly stopped and turned around. Adams behind him could not brake and rushed over, leaving a little distance from the French. Djokaf took this opportunity and swung his right foot to attack the goal.

At this time, there was no player in front of the home team except Adams and Himan. When Adams saw that this was amazing, he hurriedly used a flying tackle to try to stop Djokav's shot.

Just as Adams' toe was about to touch the ball, Djokav, who made a shooting move, touched the ball with his right foot first. However, Djokav did not shoot, but...

"Djokkaf! Shoot!" the commentator who supported the home team shouted nervously, but quickly changed his mouth, "No! This is not a shot! It is a fake shot and a real pass! Djokkaf pushed the ball out with his right foot after attracting the attention of all Arsenal defensive players!"

Bati easily received Djokav's cross pass, paused slightly, glanced at Himan, who was still standing in front of the goal, and calmly kicked a shot close to the ground with his right foot!

"It's Batistuta! It's Batistuta! It's Batistuta from behind! He shot!"

Shiman made the most of his interference. He threw himself in the direction of the ball flying, but he was still slowing down when he had been staring at Djokav before.

"The ball has been entered! Beautiful pass! Beautiful shot! Batistuta! The 26-year-old Argentine striker is the player with the most goals this season, but the Arsenal players seem to have ignored his existence just now, so Bati helped Fiorentina get a lead away!" Even if he supported Arsenal, the commentator had to praise Bati who scored the goal at this time, "Being behind at home, the scene was passive, Arsenal has reached the brink of danger!"

Graham stood on the sidelines with a expressionless face. Perhaps, this head coach who has been at the forefront recently, realized that his coaching career at Arsenal will end this season at the moment Barty scored...

The game continues. Perhaps in addition to Graham and some of the Arsenal players who have begun to be impatient, many people, including Zhuang Mingge, can enjoy this game with a more relaxed attitude.

After leading the score, Fiorentina's defensive players' mentality is obviously more relaxed, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for Arsenal players to obtain scoring opportunities.

Although the Arsenal still launched a brave attack on the goal of Fiorentina with the encouragement and voices of the home fans, they returned in vain again and again. After the goal, Fiorentina's counterattack became more vivid: Effenberg and Djokav's exquisite cooperation in the middle and the rapid advancement of the overall formation made Arsenal's defense line very embarrassed.

Florence's efficient counterattack also allowed Arsenal fans to appreciate the essence of traditional Italian football. Even Florence's chain defense, which is well organized, reasonably laid out, and can be regarded as an alternative art, has made Arsenal fans realize for the first time what Italian defense is, and bursts of exclamations.

"Oh my god! I never thought that defense could play so well... Although I am a fan of Arsenal and Graham, I have to tell you very regretfully that maybe Mr. Hillwood should consider asking for an Italian national coach. Our defense is not on the same level as Fiorentina."

Although he is becoming more and more impatient in his mood, Arsenal players with rich European experience still retain the last bit of clarity in their hearts. They know very clearly that if the team cannot win a game in Highbury, then Arsenal, who will play away next round, will have a very slim hope of a comeback.

Graham, who had been standing on the sidelines, also responded at this moment. Taking advantage of Arsenal's chance to get a set piece in the frontcourt, Mosen was called to the sidelines by him. After a whisper, he sent several substitute players with outstanding headers to the field to prepare for a final try.

In front of the Arsenals who were stoking their boats, Fiorentina's defensive pressure began to increase, the players' defensive movements became less gentle, and difficult defensive movements such as tackle began to appear frequently.

After all, tackle is the last trump card for defensive players. Once this action is made, it means that the opponent must be blocked, otherwise it will be easy to give the opponent a chance to have a single shot, and this action can easily give the opponent some free kicks in the frontcourt.

Arsenal players also made full use of these opportunities, and the successive headers made Toldo the busiest person on the stadium for a while.

However, the Arsenals were not very lucky. In the last fifteen minutes of the game, they won as many as eight set pieces, but did not score a single goal.
