Chapter 841: Unlucky Toure

Before the game started, most of Arsenal fans would applause Henry, but it would not happen after the game started - you made great contributions, we all liked you at that time, and there was no unpleasant situation when we left. So when you come here to play the game, we give you applause, and after the game started, we still boo as much as you should - this is a very normal thing, and the attitudes of Mallorca fans towards Etoo and Ronaldo are the same.

Arsenal did not choose to be conservative, and Wenger could not be conservative either. Arsenal has always played quite well offensive football. Wenger's level of coaching the team is still first-class. After all, this is what he is good at, but his on-site command ability is relatively average.

Arsenal, who is at home, has no reason to be conservative. From the beginning of the game, they used continuous speed transmission and smooth attacks to tear open Mallorca's defense line, while Mallorca recycled it slightly and waited for the opponent's sharpness to pass before looking for a counterattack.

In the first knockout match, it was another away game, so there was no need to show off your good condition as soon as you came up.

So at the beginning, it became a battle between Adebayo and Pepe.

Adebayo is now Arsenal's number one striker. As a point in front, he is a brilliant player on the court. Arsenal's basic tactic is Fabregas' midfield organization, and then the two wings continue to forward. After Fabregas found a gap, he passed the ball to his teammate who was forward. Then his teammate quickly passed the ball to the middle to create opportunities for the forward. Eduardoduo kept retracing and becoming a member connecting the midfield and the front line, so Adebayo would naturally have more scoring opportunities.

In the third minute, Fabregas won the ball in the midfield. Now the young Espanyol has a master-level style. Wenger is still very good at cultivating young players. At least he established Fabregas's position as the core of the midfield organization so early, and then used a lot of game experience to make Fabregas grow. Jose believed that he could not do this...

When he got the ball, Alonso rushed over from the side to prepare for interference, while Senna blocked him to stop his breakthrough.

On Arsenal's right, Heleb pretended to cut across and responded first, but suddenly a broken line turned around and rushed towards the right side of the penalty area line!

Lisser's reaction was slightly slower. At this moment, Fabregas raised his feet and sent out a beautiful oblique pass without warning!

The ball quickly penetrated Mallorca's defense line like a scalpel and flew accurately to Heleb. Although this straight pass seemed not difficult, it had a high technical content - Fabregas had to let the ball pass through the defense line guarded by the Mallorca players when passing the ball, and also cooperated with Heleb's speed. All this was not honorable in an instant, but Fabregas did it perfectly!

When Fabregas passed the ball, Adebayo also started running in the penalty area. He first ran back two steps, but when Pepe caught up, he suddenly stopped suddenly, then moved two steps horizontally, and in turn blocked Pepe behind him!

At this moment, Heleb had already caught up with the ball, and then immediately passed the ball across the penalty area!

This pass was a fast low pitch. As long as Adebayo could run in place and push his feet, he would basically have it. This kind of offensive method is common in Arsenal this season!

The Arsenal fans in the stands were ready to cheer. In their opinion, finding a flaw on the wing and Adebayo ran into the position again in the penalty area, which meant a goal!

Adebayo thought so too. He moved two steps and saw that the ball had flew horizontally. All he had to do was to see the ball's coming, swung his right foot and kick it out. At such a close distance, unless it happened to hit the opponent's goalkeeper, it would never be blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper!

Just as he had already started to fantasize about the cheers in the stands after scoring the goal, Pepe, who was originally suppressed by him, suddenly turned sideways, and quickly walked around him. Before Adebayo hit the ball, he fell down and blocked Adebayo in front of him and kicked the ball out first!

Adebayo, who couldn't hold back, kicked Pepe's stomach in an instant. Fortunately, he didn't use much power to the goal, but was planning to use skill to shove the ball towards the dead corner. So even though he was hit, Pepe did not have any pain at all.

He climbed up from the ground with his hands, and Pepe patted the dust on his stomach, then looked at Adebayo with disdain: "I want to score a goal? I'd better prepare to fight me head-on. This method... is useless to me."

Adebayo was originally a little surprised that Pepe was decisive and brave in defense this time, but when Pepe said this, his fire also emerged: "Okay, I'll let you see what the power of the striker is!"

"Okay, I'll see what kind of power the Arsenal's number one striker has!" Pepe emphasized the word "power". Adebayo ran out of the penalty area with an unhappy look on his face, and Mattias, who was beside him, couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, have you learned it too? If this guy really uses his strength to fight us, then we will be much more relaxed!" Matthias patted Pepe's shoulder and whispered in his ear.

Pepe laughed, he didn't know that he had been quietly infected by the Mallorca atmosphere. In the past, he was just a guard like a rash man, and believed that everything needed to be accomplished by his own strength. But now, he has begun to learn to use this language to provoke the opponents to follow the path they hoped. Although they are not successful every time, they still have a great success rate.

If Adebayo only relies on his own strength to fight Pepe, then Mallorca's defense will be much easier. After all, it is more powerful than power. Pepe and Mattias are not afraid of any forward. Perhaps only Drogba can make them afraid. After all, there are fewer and fewer pure power centers in the football world now, and they are becoming increasingly unable to get along.

"But you didn't act enough just now. Don't try too hard when you fight later. Don't give him a chance to score or win too easily. Let him feel that you can knock you away in the next fight and hit the ball... Be tougher, so you can say something that makes him feel guilty..."

Matthias continued to induce Pepe, and Pepe nodded repeatedly, which meant to change from a Shaolin monk to a Wudang Tai Chi master.

Mallorca quickly launched a counterattack. Henry received a long pass from Alonso on the corner of the penalty area. Fabregas rushed over to block Henry's attack.

The cheers of Arsenal fans rang out in the stands, looking forward to seeing Fabregas defend Henry well and earn a breath for them!

However, Henry immediately showed the strength of his previous King of Highbury!

After removing the ball with his chest, he saw Fabregas pounce on him. He quickly pulled the ball up with his left foot, then picked it up from Fabregas' head. Then, without waiting for the ball to land, his right foot suddenly pulled the shè hard on the penalty area line!

Heng didn't use this kind of shès much. He always liked to push the far corner accurately after breaking into the penalty area, but this time, he hit it simply and powerfully!

Fabregas couldn't react for a moment, and Toure in the penalty area reacted. He rushed over quickly and blocked the ball with his body. The ball turned into a line and flew directly out of the baseline and corner kick.

The applause of Arsenal fans sounded in the stands. Although Fabregas was dangled by Henry, Toure blocked Henry's shè, and made them feel glamorous on their faces.

However, the next moment they were not happy. After blocking Henry's shè door, Toure did not get up, but moaned with his knee. When he was just pounced on him to block it, Toure used too much force and sprained his knee...

"Oh, Toure seems to be injured! If it is injured like this, it will be really not a good thing for Arsenal! They have injured Van Persie and Rosici now. If Toure is injured, all three lines will be damaged, which will make it worse for Arsenal, whose bench lineup is not strong!"

The commentator said in a regretful tone that Toure had been carried off the court on the court, and Sendros was quickly sent on the court after a brief warm-up and partnered with Gala with the central defender.

The Swiss central defender was originally very good at Arsenal. Before the 2006 World Cup, he basically became the main force in Arsenal. At the same time, he showed his sequel in the World Cup. He was regarded as the best among the centre-backs of a generation. However, such a promising central defender became completely sluggish after being ravaged by Drogba. In that London derby, he tried his best from the side and rear to run Drogba. Drogba just staggered forward a few steps and stabilized his center of gravity and scored the ball. However, Sendros was injured because of this impact - he took the initiative to hit a player who dribbled the ball and was injured himself. Although the injury was not serious this time, it caused an extremely serious psychological blow to Sendros, which made him unable to recover in the next game and kept getting injured, and his condition was quite serious!

After destroying Parvin's confidence when he debuted, Drogba once again destroyed Sendros' confidence at Chelsea, and this guy has become a central defender.

Matthias might say disdainfully: "These two guys are useless. I think about how I always collided with Drogba on the training ground, so I never lost confidence!"

However, there are quite a few monster-level defenders like him, and of course they will not lose confidence by monster-level centers like Drogba...

This time when Sendros was replaced, Wenger had no one to change. He didn't have many central defenders at hand, otherwise he wouldn't have let Gala play central defenders all the time. Although Gala has always claimed that "if I play central defenders, it's world-class", in fact everyone knows that Mourinho only let Gala play fullback at Chelsea was an extremely correct behavior, because he kept making mistakes in the position of the fullback. The characteristics of being used to xin's abandonment and xin's mistakes made him a big bomb in the position of the central defender. Unfortunately, Wenger believed this sentence and paid a lot of money...

Even Gala can become Arsenal's main central defender, and their two substitute central defenders are not strong enough. After Sendros was in a slump, he quickly became a second-rate central defender. As for the young Zhu Lu, even Arsenal fans would complain, "The only explanation for this guy being able to play in Arsenal is that he is Wenger's godson..."

Now, Toure, a reliable one on the defense line, ended up in an accidental injury, and Arsenal's situation began to become worse. Wenger on the sidelines had already frowned, but Adebayo said confidently to his teammates when he returned to defense: "The next attack depends on me. I can score the ball in either the ground or the air!"
