Bow and thank the Leaf Feiwu and Zircon classmates for their rewards!
Additional updates to the leader’s deep white moonlight!
———
Due to the crushing defeat in two rounds last season, Stoke City head coach Pulis was particularly impressed by Chu Jiang.
When he met Arsenal this time, Pris was very smart and chose the premise of the defense line, striving to play in the midfield. On the court, Stoke City players strive to use fierce defense to kill Arsenal's offense in the midfield area.
In this area, even if a free kick is awarded due to a foul, the penalty point is too far away from the goal, it is not suitable to attack directly.
It is precisely because Stoke City adopted such targeted deployment that Chu Jiang did not get a better free kick opportunity in the first half.
Without a good opportunity, there is naturally no way to talk about scoring goals.
However, such a scene changed a little in the second half.
After Walcott came on the court, Arsenal's tactics changed. They no longer pursued downs and ball control in the midfield, and began to use their speed to quickly pass through the midfield.
At the same time, when defending, they also began to become more pragmatic, and even took defensive counterattack tactics.
If the shrinking defense line can provide the depth of the counterattack, why not fight against the counterattack?
After Arsenal changed its tactics, Stoke City's offense and defense were severely tested.
When attacking, their number is not superior, and it is difficult to break through Arsenal's defense line; when defending, if you are not careful, you will be hit directly behind by Arsenal's long pass, and then the opponent will quickly ignite the war near his penalty area, causing danger in front of the goal.
Seeing this situation, Stoke City coach Price immediately made corresponding changes, allowing the team to start a lot of ball possession.
Anyway, if Arsenal is not in a hurry to attack, Stoke City doesn't have to rush to attack.
It is also completely acceptable for Stoke City players.
In this way, the game temporarily entered a deadlock.
In a stalemate, the game passed very quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was the 30th minute of the second half.
At this time, the professor was a little unable to sit still.
If the current situation continues, maybe his team will be tied by Stoke City.
Although it is not embarrassing to score a point at Stoke City, the competitive professor is always a little dissatisfied, and he still wants to score three points.
So he replaced Arteta, who was exhausted, and replaced the young and more impactful Chamberlain, and continued to strengthen the team's offense.
However, after the professor changed the opportunity, the Stoke City people were the first to get the opportunity.
While the young Chamberlain had just played, Arsenal's midfield order had not been straightened out, Stoke City launched a thunderous offensive.
In the 78th minute, Stoke City captain Shawcross suddenly stepped forward and snatched it. He made a fierce flying shovel and directly shoveled towards Ramsey, who was watching his teammates running.
He noticed Shockros's flying shovel. Ramsey couldn't help but ring the encounter with broken legs, and he was still scared and dodged cleanly.
The last time Ramsey encountered a broken leg and almost retired directly was thanks to Sharkros. This time, when he saw Sharkros' flying shovel, Ramsey said he should avoid it quickly.
When Ramsey avoided, he gave possession of the ball to Shockros.
After Shawcross broke the ball, he did not choose to pass the ball, but simply rushed forward with the ball.
The sudden step forward of the central defender suddenly disrupted Arsenal's defensive formation. At this time, no one knew that the defensive player should guard the opponent's sudden step forward.
"Song! Song! Go and watch that No. 17!"
Noticed his teammates' panic, Chu Jiang quickly adjusted the team's defensive strategy and let the midfielder Alexander Song go to guard against Xiaocros who suddenly stepped forward.
"Chamberlain, come back and make up for Song!"
At the same time, Chu Jiang also shouted Chamberlain's name and reminded him how to run.
Seeing Alexander Song rushing over, Shocros quickly divided the ball and handed over the ball to Pennant who was running forward at the wing high speed.
After the ball was released, Shockros did not retreat to his own half, but continued to advance and rushed to the hinterland of Arsenal's penalty area.
After Sharkros passed the ball, Song hesitated for a moment. He didn't know if he should change his target and instead chase Pennant who got the ball. When he noticed that Sharkros did not return to defense, Song restarted and chased Sharkros.
However, at this time, Shocross had already run through Song's defensive area!
In this way, in Arsenal's penalty area, two tall and large headers in Stoke City appeared at the same time, ready to receive the pass from his teammates at any time.
One is Shockros who was inserted into the penalty area and was 193cm tall; the other is Crouch who had been ambushing the penalty area and was 201cm tall!
At this time, there were only three Arsenal defensive players who were guarding these two tall guys, namely Coscheerney, who was 186cm tall, Vermullen, who was 180cm tall, and Carl Jenkinson, who was 185cm tall.
From the perspective of air control ability, Arsenal's defensive players are far weaker than their opponents!
"Danger!"
The experienced commentator shouted.
Immediately afterwards, Pennant decisively chose to cross.
Crozzi suddenly started, accelerated and rushed forward, leading Koscheerney over. Shockros ran to the middle of the penalty area with great understanding.
There is the real football landing point!
The football passed through Jenkinson, who was in the top and fell directly into the middle of the penalty area!
Shockros took advantage of his height and weight to suppress Virmulen behind him. Facing the landing point of the football, he jumped high.
At this position, Shocross is confident that he can complete a wonderful goal.
In past games, he has completed similar goals many times in the team's usual training.
This time, there is no exception!
Is it really no exception?
Boy, you are too naive!
Just as Shocross finished his head in the air and was about to attack, a figure rushed past him quickly.
Whoosh!
Chu Jiang ran out of the goal like a Ferrari sports car running at high speed.
jump!
When the football landing point approached, Chu Jiang, who was 184cm tall, jumped high with acceleration and spread his arms in the air like a roc. He took the football away from the top of Shocross' head!
call!
The fans exclaimed!
If Chu Jiang attacked too early, he would not be able to determine the correct landing point of the football; if he attacked a little later, his attack would be very likely not to touch the football, which would allow Shawcross to score in the headspace goal.
This is a very risky attack.
However, Chu Jiang succeeded!
Too courageous and stylish!
"This attack is gorgeous!"
Espn's commentator Zhan Jun commented.
Is this gorgeous?
Let me tell you. This is just a gorgeous beginning!
Chu Jiang didn't even look at the disappointed and depressed Shocross glanced at him. After landing, he raised his arm and quickly threw forward the football he had just gotten.
"Little tiger!"
Chu Jiang shouted Walcott's nickname and threw the football accurately to his side.
"nice shot!"
Walcott secretly praised him, then lightly removed the ball and rushed to Stoke City's penalty area with the ball at high speed.
Within ten seconds, offense and defense will be changed!
The fans of Stoke City were shocked.
Just now, they were in great condition and were about to score a goal. However, before ten seconds, the attacking side became an Arsenal player, and their previous offensive was actually over!
This is what the super goalkeeper does!
In times of crisis, as long as Chu Jiang is here, Arsenal's goal will never be lacking in guarantee!
Not only that, because of this accurate and just right hand throw, Arsenal also got a golden opportunity to counterattack!
It was Stoke City's counterattack just now, so most of their players were rushing forward to take on the offensive of their teammates. Moreover, as the team's central defender and defensive core, Shockros rushed into Arsenal's penalty area.
However, with Chu Jiang's successful attack, dramatic changes occurred in the offense and defense in a flash.
At this moment, the counterattack became the Arsenal!
Taking advantage of this moment of chaos in the opponent's defense, Walcott's dribble broke through and penetrated straight into the heart of Stoke City!
At this time, the gap between Stoke City goalkeeper and Chu Jiang was clearly exposed.
When Shawcros ran forward, Chu Jiang not only did not panic, but also guided his teammates to run, so that the defense line could be re-arranged as soon as possible. However, when Walcott was running away, Stoke City goalkeeper Begovic was nervous and kept staring at Walcott, and he could not distract himself to command his teammates.
Wait, speed up!
