472 Targeted Anti-Robbery
Silva did not fully understand why Qin Xiong wanted him to take the initiative to participate in the encirclement and suppression, that is, to fight against Pennant's work.
In fact, if Silva wants to increase his enthusiasm for defensive aggression, then the target he should be Ezet in the middle.
But Silva trusts Qin Xiong and has long admired Qin Xiong's insight in the game.
From their first matchup, that is, in the Champions League knockout match the previous season, Qin Xiong's insight and acumen impressed him.
Before carrying out anti-robbery work against Pennant, Silva went to provide another layer of guarantee.
He walked to Flamini and told Flamini to pay attention to filling the midfielder. Flamini himself plays the midfielder, so he has good protection in the penalty area in the full-back position. He lacks only offensive ability, and Silva's request is not excessive. Flamini will be very easy to complete, as long as his full-back defense area will not be impacted by the opponent.
There is a reason for Silva to do this. He will participate in the defense against Pennant, so Pennant himself will lose the impact on the defense zone where Flamini is located, or even not at all.
When Flamini was liberated, he had to fill the gap behind Silva after robbing him.
With Arsenal's technical and tactical strength, it is still okay to achieve this kind of adjustment on the back line.
Arsenal's regular offense is difficult to shake the opponent's defense, but in the 28th minute of the game, Arsenal made a beautiful offensive and defensive transition.
That was originally an offensive opportunity for Birmingham. Melchiot passed the ball to Pennant. Hleb himself pretended to counterattack Melchiot in order to force the opponent to get the ball.
Since the opponent passed the ball to Pennant, he was just right.
Hleb immediately turned around and harassed Pennant behind him. Pennant was unstable in possession of the ball and wanted to get the ball into the middle, but he was stunned to see Qin Xiong appear less than five meters beside him, blocking his passing route.
He could only force the ball to dribble forward and accelerate to get rid of Heleb's press.
The football was kicked forward by him and he was about to speed up, but he found that Silva successfully controlled the ball in front of him!
Facing the three people siege, Pennant was shocked and a little angry!
Silva immediately passed the ball to Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong dribbled the ball and turned forward. Izette was originally running forward, but Birmingham's attack was suddenly over. He turned around and could not form an interception against Qin Xiong at all.
Qin Xiong passed the ball horizontally to Heleb in front of Bart, and then flew forward, Heleb passed it back to him, Bart in the back, and Upson was in front, and the two of them came up and grabbed it. Qin Xiong decisively plucked the ball horizontally and then shook it out of the space. Henry inserted diagonally behind Upson, and Qin Xiong's pass came as scheduled!
Under the heavy siege, Qin Xiong's straight pass not only continued Arsenal's attack, but also entered another vast world.
Cunningham rushed towards Henry in a hurry, and Henry stopped and wiped horizontally from him. Then he swung his legs and easily shot the ball into the goal. Goalkeeper Taylor had to surrender!
"Henry continued his good form and he scored a goal! He was far ahead in the scorer list. This was another assist from Qin Xiong to Qin Xiong. Birmingham's counterattack failed. Pennant made a mistake. His forced breakthrough led to a loss of the ball. Perhaps even if he kicked the ball out of the sideline, it would not cause Birmingham to lose the ball."
Henry greeted Qin Xiong, and Qin Xiong pulled Heleb. Arsenal players celebrated the goal together, constantly improving cohesion through success and success.
Heleb is convinced!
Really convinced!
Only then did he realize that he was the offensive core in Stuttgart and Qin Xiong was the organizational core in Arsenal were completely different levels!
He just focuses on himself. Qin Xiong focuses on the overall situation!
It seems that many details on the field that cannot be seen by the naked eye can be captured by Qin Xiong.
No wonder he is the fastest and most powerful superstar in European football. No wonder Arsenal, who is struggling to make a sudden rainbow of momentum under the leadership of him and Henry!
The Birmingham player glanced at Pennant intentionally or unintentionally.
He was very excited before conceding the ball, and looked a little overexcited.
Now, Pennant's mood took a sharp turn. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, roaring in his heart: Arsenal!
He wanted to prove himself too much, and he wanted to wave his arm to slap every Arsenal!
But when he became the team's concealer of the goal, the gap between his expectations and the pressure he was under was too big, so it almost made him lose his mind!
Arsenal still has problems in this game.
Yongbery, who returned from injury, was in poor condition. Heleb was not efficient when attacking head-on. Under intensive defense, Qin Xiong and Henry were cut into contact by their opponents, etc.
But Arsenal scored a goal and began to focus on using previous experience to expand the utilization rate of Pennant's breakthrough.
Birmingham cannot always play Gray on the left side. Ebue has a steady defense, and Fabregas assists from the side. After Birmingham's offense has been mainly focused on the left side for a period of time, he still has to suddenly move the offense to hit the right side.
This has allowed Arsenal to seize more opportunities.
In the 39th minute of the game, Bart's pass to Pennant was directly cut off by Qin Xiong!
Not only did Qin Xiong intercept the ball successfully, he also had the opportunity to get the edge. He advanced along the side road, and Heleb took the initiative to go to the middle road. He was waiting for Qin Xiong's pass, but Qin Xiong seemed to show no sign of passing the ball to him.
Qin Xiong suddenly cut across in front of the penalty area and quickly moved the ball to the middle. When Bart saw that the situation was not good, he came to snipe him. Qin Xiong paused, pulled the ball to the outside and then circled back to the inside. Bart was amazed at Qin Xiong's ability to combine the man and ball. After he was wiped, Birmingham's defense was in chaos.
Heleb was forced to run step by step, almost avoiding Qin Xiong, and while avoiding, he could only move forward and could not run to the backcourt. So when the Birmingham defender had problems with his sightings, Qin Xiong suddenly sent a straight pass that surprised Heleb.
He had no idea of running, but he came to the space. Qin Xiong's pass passed the ball to his feet.
Hleb rushed to shoot directly, and Wenger witnessed Hleb's shot on the sidelines and was about to collapse!
Then he - mother is a golden opportunity, but Heleb shot the ball at the feet of the opponent's goalkeeper Taylor!
Not only did Heleb not prepare enough for the shot, but also the panicked Taylor was not prepared enough. If he could save the ball calmly, he could just hold the ball in his arms as long as he lowered his body's center of gravity.
But he subconsciously blocked it with his feet, and the football rebounded in the small penalty area. At this time, a figure rushed to Taylor and stabbed the ball into the goal with his toes before he flew deep into the deep pounce.
King of Highbury, Henry!
