20demayo Chapter 208
Chapter 208
Ibrahimovic's goal caused the stands with more than 60,000 people to fall into a brief silence, including the sound system at the Emirates Stadium. The commentator seemed to be frantically searching for words in his mind. To be honest, he couldn't think of how to describe Lehmann's mistake in a less stupid way in a short time.
A moment later, noisy boos rang out from the stands behind the Arsenal goal and soon spread throughout the stadium.
However, from the beautiful words such as "idiot German", "Why don't you retire yet?" and "Giving birth to a son without an asshole", it can be heard that these boos did not seem to be directed at the Leeds United players and Li Shiguang who were hugging each other to celebrate.
Not to mention the fans, even the Arsenal players did not expect that they would lose the ball in this way today. At this time, everyone stared at Lehmann lying in front of the goal with complicated eyes. It seems that no one is willing to go up and help the culprit who caused the team to fall behind.
Opposite the Leeds United bench
Wenger had already lost his elegance when Lehmann tried to pass Ibrahimovic. He kicked the mineral water bottle in front of him in anger and yelled to Patles who was standing next to him in disbelief: "Fuck! This lunatic, is he sick! He is almost 38 years old, how can he still make such a stupid, such a low-level mistake!?"
Eddie Gray and Norman Hunter in the studio were also in disbelief. They never thought that the first goal of today's game would be scored in this way!
"Uh...what words should I use to describe Zlatan's goal?" For the first time, Eddie Gray felt that he was not interested in celebrating Leeds United's goal. He looked at Norman Hunter with a subtle smile and asked softly: "God's gift?"
Norman Hunter blinked and responded with a smile: "I think it would be more appropriate to call it Lehmann's gift."
"Hahahahahahaha."
The two who couldn't help it anymore finally laughed unscrupulously in the studio.
····
"Yaya Toure is in great shape today! After this game, I think Fabregas can find a chance to talk to Carrick. After all, they are both victims, haha." Eddie Gray watched the TV screen with ease and even joked about Carrick.
After a short celebration, the game resumed. Leeds United, who took the lead, did not relax their pressing in the midfield and frontcourt. Arsenal tried to pass the ball to Fabregas several times to let him organize the attack. But they were all intercepted by Yaya Toure who appeared in time, and he also launched a counterattack on the spot, threatening Arsenal's penalty area!
"Well, Leeds United should also pay attention." The more experienced Norman is not as relaxed as Eddie Gray. "Although it seems that they are constantly compressing Arsenal's space to control the football in the backcourt, it is also walking a tightrope. If the formation is too forward, be careful that Arsenal will seize the opportunity to counterattack. Even if they are not as good as Henry, Adebayor and Van Persie can be regarded as two fast horses!"
····
"Pass the ball! Damn it!"
Adebayor, who had retreated to the midfield to ask for the ball, saw that Hleb was once again taken away by Bale from his feet, and finally couldn't help cursing.
Adebayor finally took advantage of Henry's injury to get the opportunity to start and show himself, but he has not received a proper pass so far. He was thinking of taking his anger out on his old club today.
The first half has been going on for almost 39 minutes, and the score is still 0:1.
Since the start of the game, Adebayor and Van Persie have hardly received any normal ground passes in the frontcourt. Most of the time, he was competing with Kompany for the long pass kicked by Lehmann from the front of the goal.
After the team fell behind, the two saw that this was not a solution. After a brief discussion, they decided to let Adebayor retreat a little bit, try to use his strong body as a fulcrum to stably catch the ball, and try to attack Leeds United from the ground.
But Adebayor retreated, but he just couldn't catch the shells delivered by his teammates! Just now, Hleb had a chance to pass the ball, but he hesitated for a while, and was intercepted by Bale who rushed up quickly.
This made Adebayor suddenly lose motivation.
His mind was full of the scene when Wenger rejected him with a cold tone when he asked him to increase his salary if he renewed his contract yesterday.
"Hey, Emmanuel, what are you doing? Get ready to score!"
Van Persie's shout from the side interrupted Adebayor's random thoughts. Looking up, he saw that Leeds United's counterattack was interrupted by Gallas halfway through., now he is drawing his bow and preparing to kick a long pass!
Damn! Great opportunity!
Looking at Kompany who was trying to run back, Adebayo instantly realized that this was a great opportunity.
Just now it was Leeds United's counterattack round. Most of the players crossed the center line to participate in the attack. Now only Cannavaro was left beside him. There is no doubt that Cannavaro, who is only 1.75 meters tall, would find it difficult to gain an advantage in headers.
After Adebayo blocked Cannavaro's position, he easily used his head to point the ball to Van Persie on the side, and then began to run towards the goal of Leeds United.
"Fabio, you go guard against Persie! Vincent, you must catch up with Emmanuel, don't let him get the ball easily!"
"Xavi, hurry up, run, don't let them equalize the score!"
Seeing that Arsenal's counterattack had already formed, Li Shiguang didn't care whether the players could hear him or not, and rushed to the sidelines and began to loudly command his disciples to return to defense.
Van Persie dribbled the ball very fast, but when he approached the Leeds United penalty area, he was eventually caught up by Lahm and Cannavaro who were returning to defense at high speed. The two of them came to Van Persie from the left and right.
On their right, Adebayo, who was running without the ball, had already reached the top of the penalty area. Even though Kompany was chasing him with all his might, he was still four or five meters away from him.
"Robin, pass the ball!"
Seeing that he was completely unguarded, Adebayo quickly waved and shouted in the direction of Van Persie.
He seemed to have seen how he celebrated after scoring a goal, thinking that he must run to the bench to celebrate, to let Wenger see that he was definitely worthy of that salary. If you want to keep me, you have to pay more!
However, Van Persie did not pass the ball immediately, because the footsteps on the right were getting closer and closer, and he had seen Cannavaro who was quite close to him from the corner of his eye. If he kicked a cross pass at this time, it would be very likely that Cannavaro would fall to the ground and shovel it.
So Van Persie took another step forward, and he decided to catch up and pass the ball to Adebayor.
But it was this step that made Adebayor misunderstand. He thought Van Persie wanted to eat alone, and he wanted to shoot and score by himself!
This damn Dutchman!
So in an incredible mood, Adebayor suddenly slowed down his running speed, and jumped up from the spot with a painful face...
But at the moment of jumping up, he was surprised to find that the ball had rolled to the front of him about two meters away. However, he had lost the opportunity to control the ball and shoot at this time, because Kompany had caught up. After a strange look at Adebayor in the air, he naturally caught up with the ball and passed it back to Neuer standing in front of the goal.
Seeing Neuer control the ball.
The Arsenal bench, which was originally ecstatic, seemed to suddenly fall silent. Wenger's excited smile instantly faded, like a Sichuan opera face-changing, and was replaced by a look of surprise.
He looked at Patles next to him again and asked him without any emotion: "Patrez, can you tell me, was my brain hit by the door at the beginning? Why did I sign such an idiot from Leeds United?"
