Chapter 96 Captain's Wrath(1/3)
"it's okay no problem,"
"We can equalize the score, calm down!"
Luo Wu clapped his hands in the center circle to encourage his teammates. He has not noticed the emotional changes of his teammates until now.
"We have to play more aggressively."
"Keep the ball on our side."
"Speed up the passing tempo."
…
Fulham did not expect to take the lead so easily. At this time, head coach Ranieri was shouting loudly and arranging new tactics.
If you're two goals ahead, you just have to hold on.
As the most experienced head coach in the Premier League, Ranieri knows what to do now. Italians are born with defensive genes in their bones. Now as long as Fulham defends well, there is a high probability of winning three points at home.
Big, although the demonic Luo Wu is standing on the court, he is not a god after all, he is just a mortal.
The bus tactic is no stranger to Fulham. The formation was adjusted to 451, leaving Migelovic alone in front, and the other midfield and frontcourt players retreated outside the penalty area.
Arsenal had to face a bus team once again.
However, when the ball advanced to Fulham's backcourt, two players still marked Luo Wu in time. Others could let go, but Luo Wu was definitely not allowed to go free.
Seeing that Luo Wu was locked up, Arsenal teammates could only make a fuss in the center and left. They made several consecutive moves but failed to open up the space. Finally, the Spaniard Torreira tried to play on the left side of the penalty area.
Long shot with his foot, but the ball was not held down.
In turn, Fulham did not launch a quick counterattack, but reversed in the backcourt. When Lacazette and the others pressed forward, they made a big save. You must know that their counterattack speed was incredibly fast before, but now
Kicked away.
"Ranieri's tactics change very quickly."
"The old man has two brushes."
"There was a defensive counterattack just now, but now it's just defensive."
"But the defense against Luo Wu did not relax. The two players followed closely. Indeed, they kept an eye on him. Although other Arsenal players were also threats, they were too far behind Luo Wu. Look, even Mitte
Lovich also ran to Luo Wu, and three people followed him! Historical defensive treatment."
"There is no way, Arsenal can only find a breakthrough from other directions. Smith now cuts into the penalty area from the left, but he failed to get rid of Christie. The ball bounced out of the penalty area. Xhaka took the ball and hit an arc! Oh,
Flying to the corner flag, this guy's state today is really speechless. Arsenal once again wasted an attack..."
"Having become accustomed to relying on Luo Wu, I guess other people can only give in."
This was the situation for ten consecutive minutes. Although Arsenal's ball possession rate reached 73%, no shot threatened Fulham's goal.
This couldn't continue like this. Luo Wu realized that he couldn't just contain the opponent's defense on the right. He had to find a way to escape and get the ball, so he walked to the center.
This change immediately made a difference. Fulham's defensive formation was disrupted. It was impossible for all three players to follow him.
In the 35th minute, Luo Wu and Mkhitaryan formed a cross-position exchange and finally received the ball. The opponent in front of him did not dare to pounce on him and wanted to wait for his teammates to come up to help. But how could Luo Wu give him such an opportunity and immediately dribble the ball?
Cutting diagonally to the left, Smith Rowe tacitly detoured to the center, giving him room to dribble. Luo Wu rushed to the left corner of the penalty area to face Christie and Odoi and stepped on his bicycle to get the ball.
It was given to Monreal, who stepped in. Monreal immediately sent a ground ball pass, and Lacazette outflanked him and was half a beat too late!
The ball slides past!
However, Mkhitaryan intercepted the ball outside the penalty area on the right side, passed the ball from an inverted triangle to the arc of the penalty area, and Xhaka volleyed the ball! It missed the left post.
"It's time for Xhaka."
"so terrible."
"Emery used him wrong today."
"This guy is the brightest star on the court today, but the worst star!"
The Arsenal fans couldn't stand it anymore and started booing in the stands, complaining about Xhaka.
Emery was in the first row, his face full of embarrassment. He subconsciously raised his hand and looked at his watch. There were about ten minutes left before the first half of the game. He thought that after returning to the locker room, the first person to be replaced was Zuckerberg.
Card!
But Ramsey didn't bring him. It would be nice if that guy was here... Suddenly, he remembered how good Ramsey was...
But with Guendouzi on the bench, it didn't seem to be much worse.
On the forward line, Lacazette is also out of shape.
However, the status of Monreal and Mustafi seems to be...
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the entire team was in bad shape.
At this moment, Luo Wu finally got a chance to shoot. Luo Wu retreated to the midfield to get the ball, got rid of the opponent's forward Migelovic and then forced the goal!
But the angle was too right, and the Fulham goalkeeper punched the ball out of the baseline with both fists. He only got a chance to attack from a corner kick.
Luo Wu took a corner kick, but the corridor in the air belonged to Fulham!
The ball flying out of the penalty area was intercepted by Holding, who immediately pushed it back to Luo Wu, who volleyed from a small angle!
boom!
Fulham defender Riem sacrificed himself to block the ball, and the ball flew out of the baseline again.
This time Luowu decided to sneak attack the near corner! But Fulham goalkeeper Bettinelli stayed on guard and punched out with both fists again! The ball flew out of the penalty area again, and Xhaka and Migelovic rushed under the ball almost at the same time.
, but Migelovic has the advantage of being taller and moved the ball forward first, speeding up and rushing forward!
Xhaka subconsciously pulled Migelovic's arm!
beep,
The whistle sounded decisively!
The referee ran over and immediately verbally warned Xhaka.
"It's Xhaka again!"
After Xhaka got up, he felt like a dizzy chicken.
But at this moment, Migelovic bent down and kicked the ball out!
Caught off guard!
Migelovic launches a fast break!
After the ball went straight to the opposite center arc, Sessegnon strode forward without anyone blocking him. The two central defenders Holding and Mustafi were also sleepwalking!
But Holding was still running with all his strength to catch up.
But God knows why Xuerle rushed up from the right!
He was supposed to be on the left, but ended up on the right!
Schürrle quickly crossed the midfield, but Sessegnon did not obsess about dribbling, and simply put the ball up!
"Single sword!"
"Single sword!"
"Single sword!"
"Oh my God, Schurrle! Schurrle!"
The stands instantly erupted.
It’s time to witness a goal again!
Arsenal's defenders had no choice but to watch as Schürrle dribbled the ball straight into the right corner of the penalty area.
Poor Leno strikes out again and faces the big brother of the national team.
But before he could break out of the small penalty area, Schürrle took off and decisively took out a curve ball with his left foot. The ball drew a beautiful line and bypassed him!
Huh~
It was so accurate, it hit the upper left corner of the goal.
"gooooal!"
"goooooal!"
"goooooooooooooooal!"
"Schürrle!"
"Great German!"
"He who scored twice is not only a hero for Fulham, but also a hero for Liverpool!"
Danny Murphy is happy.
Why Liverpool's hero? Because if Fulham wins, Liverpool can be three points ahead of Arsenal. Of course, the same is true for Manchester City. These two teams have ended the game before and both clubs have won. won.
0:3.
