Chapter 107 Where is the counterattack?
The Arsenal players who were taken aback by Luton's attack quickly launched a counterattack.
They also realized that if Luton had better luck and scored a goal, their lead would be equalized immediately. The Arsenal players don't allow this to happen!
So they quickly launched a fierce attack, hoping to score the second goal of the game!
Facing Arsenal’s offensive, Luton still uses their usual defensive methods to deal with opponents. The dense formation makes it difficult for Arsenal to score goals in the middle. Luton’s players move in a very coordinated manner. The coordinated defensive position makes it difficult for Arsenal to find space in the middle.
After Hassan Ali came off the field, Fabregas became active again. He stepped the ball under his feet in the middle circle and saw a dense crowd in front of him. From his perspective, it seemed that no matter where he was, Luton’s There are always more players than Arsenal.
But Fabregas is a genius after all, and genius is always able to find slots that ordinary people can't find.
He picked up the ball, passed the head of the Luton midfielder defender, and found Arshavin who opened the space by the side.
Luton's defense is very dense in the middle, while the wing is relatively empty.
Arshavin stopped the ball steadily, but he didn't have room to continue to break through the center. Maybe he could choose to go to the bottom, but after the bottom, he still had to pass the ball back to the center and let the forward or other midfielders move forward. To complete the fatal blow.
But Arshavin looked at the dense crowds in the penalty area, and the two Luton defenders standing in front of him from left to right.
Arshavin doesn’t know what their names are. For the Russian star, such opponents are not worth remembering.
However, both of them got stuck in front of him, making it difficult to pass.
There is no chance for a low pass, because the Luton defenders in the penalty area are very densely located and basically jam the lines of the low pass.
So Arshavin tried a high-altitude ball to find Adebayor's head.
Adebayor looked at the ball coming in the air, and first tried to squeeze Matt Schmidt away, but Matt Schmidt did not move. Instead, Adebayor was hit and his center of gravity was a little unstable.
So the ball was knocked out by Matt again.
Wenger looked anxiously off the court, he really wanted to scold Adebayor if he had a brain problem.
"Positioning!!! Run!!!!" Wenger shouted at Adebayor on the court.
"He can't keep up with you!!!"
After shouted, Wenger angrily sat back on the coach's bench.
Adebayor went head-to-head with Matt. Isn't this taking his own shortcomings to attack others' strengths? When facing Matt, Adebayor's advantage lies in his footwork and his experience as a center and his running skills.
These things are Matt, a stupid big guy who can't keep up with Adebayor.
But Adebayor didn't hear very clearly what Wenger was talking about. Instead, he fought Matt.
For Adebayor, he is just a player in the second division. He actually fell into a disadvantage in header and physical confrontation?
How can I find this one back?
So then Matt continued to push the ball on top of Adebayor. Adebayor didn't get any cheap, but Matt became more confident!
Gao Bo was very happy on the sidelines. Arsenal can't make the ground ball into the penalty area, and the high-altitude ball is controlled by Luton. Now in terms of defense, Luton has finally stabilized temporarily, even if Arsenal tried several perimeter long shots. Nor did it threaten Luton's goal, and over time, the mentality of Arsenal's players became a little anxious.
Gao Bo was very satisfied with Matt's performance in this game.
At least in the high-altitude ball defense in the penalty zone, Matt did a good job. Unfortunately, his feet are still too rough. Otherwise, Gao Bo even wants to transform Matt into a header-enhanced version of Felay Ni.....
However, Arsenal still dominates the offense, and as Arsenal gets more and more pressured, their offensive becomes more and more fierce!
Especially Van Persie’s threat has gradually increased!
Van Persie has a very large range of activities, which makes it difficult for Jeffrey, who is marking him, to keep up with the rhythm.
This is actually normal. Geoffrey was completely crushed by Van Persie in terms of strength, and Gao Bo was not surprised by this.
In the 57th minute of the game, Van Persie turned and volleyed after receiving the ball at the top of the penalty area! !
The football passed through the dense crowd in the penalty area. This was almost the only route that could hit the goal without hitting other players. Van Persie found it.
Gao Bo felt tight, he almost thought his team was about to lose the second ball...
But the goalpost saved Luton! !
Van Persie’s shot hit the goal post and out of the baseline! !
"Oh... almost... Van Persie can help Arsenal secure the victory!!!" Letkinson said in the commentary, "but the current situation is also very unfavorable for Luton, now they are behind. One goal, and on offense, Luton is still being suppressed by Arsenal. Perhaps the only good news for Luton is that they have not yet conceded a second goal."
The shot was rejected by the goal post, which made Van Persie very regretful, but inspired by this attack, Arsenal's attack became more fierce.
In the fifty-ninth minute of the game, Arshavin successfully broke through the wing and shot from a small angle in the penalty area and was blocked by the goalkeeper. After the ensuing corner kick was taken, Van Persie nodded and shook his head before the goal. The football flew out against the far post...
The cheers of the Arsenal fans in the stands were wave after wave, and the 40,000 Luton fans on the scene were all agitated. It seemed that Luton might lose the second goal at any time!
"Look at it, Xiao Liu, the dark horse is the dark horse after all!!" The reporter Zhang Xing in the media booth looked clear, "This Gao Bo's FA Cup is over!"
Xiao Liu frowned, he watched the situation on the court with some worry. He supports Gao Bo. After all, he is a young man who just came out of society with a high spirit. He has not yet reached the time when he is as cynic as the middle-aged man next to him...
In fact, Gao Bo is also worried~EbookFREE.me~ but what he is looking at is Arsenal's backcourt!
Unknowingly, except for the goalkeeper, almost all of Arsenal's players passed halftime! !
In the Arsenal half, there is a space of tens of meters for Luton to counterattack! ! ! Gao Bo quietly cast his gaze there, as if he was afraid that Arsenal would react and fill it up.
But the prerequisite for a counterattack is to defend Arsenal's attack first.
Van Persie’s goal post is a warning! !
This means that Luton’s defense is slowly going to be unable to withstand such a fierce offensive, and the only way to reverse the situation is to have a quick counterattack to suppress Arsenal’s increasingly fierce offensive...
When will the counterattack come? No one knows! !
Wenger also saw the gap in Arsenal's backcourt, but he was also betting! ! Bet Arsenal score the second goal first! !
Judging from the scene of the game, Arsenal is about to dismantle Luton's defensive system.
Although Adebayor can’t get advantage over Matt’s head, Luton may not be able to have much advantage in other offensive points, and as Arsenal’s two full-backs are pressed up, almost I used it as a winger! This allows Arsenal to increase the number of offenses, which makes Luton's defense more difficult.
Just when Gao Bo was a little anxious, in the 63rd minute of the game, Van Persie wanted to replicate his previous shot at the top of the penalty area, but Kanter had already taken precautions at this time.
Van Persie just lifted his right foot, and Kanter rushed up and tackled the ball directly.
Gao Bo's muscles tightened, but he didn't shout out.
Counterattack...
Luton's counterattack is coming! !
