Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

After falling behind, Arsenal started a crazy counterattack. Now they also understand the current situation. With their midfield strength, they can't defend, and they can only use the explosive points in the frontcourt to solve the problem. Now, their biggest reliance is Thierry Henry! After Vieira left the team in the summer, Henry became the captain of Arsenal. As the captain, he is in good shape this season and has scored seven goals in the league. If he hadn't pulled the team, Arsenal might have fallen to the bottom half of the rankings. In the 25th minute, Arsenal finally sent the ball to Henry's feet. Henry drove the ball straight into the edge of the penalty area. Uifalusi came up and prepared to double-team Henry with Xabi Alonso behind him.

But Henry flicked the ball and seemed to be about to shoot!

Uifalusi knew his lethality in this position on the left side of the goal, so he quickly moved a step inward to block his shot.

But Henry suddenly dribbled the ball and jumped out like a cheetah!

As a 1.88-meter tall man, his explosive power is simply amazing!

With just one step, he opened the distance with the defender!

He strode into the penalty area and came to the left side of the penalty area.

And this position is Henry's best shooting area!

Cech quickly adjusted his steps to this side and prepared to block his shot!

He knew he would definitely shoot at the far corner!

Sure enough, Henry adjusted his posture and pushed with his arch!

Cech quickly got down to the ground and used his long legs to block the ball!

But although the ball was close to the ground, it had a strong arc and just bypassed his toes!

Cech felt a chill in his heart and turned his head quickly, only to see that the ball hit the post!

Henry deliberately adjusted the shooting angle to bypass Cech, but he bypassed Cech but not the post!

But the ball was not yet threatening, Van Persie had already rushed in the direction of the football, ready to make up the shot!

Distin also chased closely, and the two began to fight for the same point!

Although Van Persie was a little faster, Distin seemed to be closer to the ball!

Both sides shoveled the ball almost at the same time, and then their bodies collided heavily!

But the ball slowly rolled into the goal!

One to one, Arsenal equalized the score!

But this ball could not be judged at all whether it was Van Persie's goal or Distin's own goal!

Even Lineker and Alan Hansen in the studio watched the video repeatedly, but they couldn't determine who touched the ball in the end.

But this did not prevent the goal from being effective!

The Arsenal fans at the scene burst into huge cheers!

However, in the stadium, Van Persie still fell to the ground and did not stand up!

Arsenal players immediately surrounded him.

The slow-motion camera also switched to the previous shot in time. When Distin and Van Persie were fighting for the ball at the same time, their knees hit each other!

However, Distin's knee hit the side of Van Persie's knee from the front!

Although Distin did not mean to do it, it was quite fatal for Van Persie!

He covered his knee with his hands, and his face was very painful!

Lineker couldn't help but sigh: "This may cause ligament injury!"

Alan Hansen also said: "This Van Persie has just returned to the game, right? This time I'm afraid he will be injured for a while!"

Arsenal's team doctor immediately entered the field and made a substitution gesture to the sidelines after checking Van Persie.

Wenger's face on the sidelines suddenly fell.

This guy is really fragile!

Yang Luo sighed on the side.

This guy is not only fragile, but also a very loyal little boy...

He has been injured and stopped for many years in Arsenal. After finally playing, he immediately stabbed Wenger's scarred heart again.

Yang Luo wanted to remind Wenger, but thought about it and gave up.

Wenger probably has such a disaster in his life...

Soon, Van Persie was replaced by Reyes.

Yang Luo signaled the players not to be affected by the previous goal and continue to attack.

In the following game, both sides maintained a fairly fast attack and defense rhythm, but Manchester City had more opportunities than Manchester City.

As time went on, Manchester City's midfield advantage became more and more obvious, and Arsenal could only find opportunities through the two flanks.

But Pires and Ljungberg could not take much advantage against Maicon and Evra!

In the 39th minute, Evra

La stole the ball from Ljungberg and passed it to Ronaldo.

After Ronaldo got the ball, he started running with the ball and reached the 30-meter area in a moment.

Laurent stuck to him tightly, not letting him have a comfortable space to handle the ball.

However, Ronaldo did not continue to stick to the ball, but passed the ball to Ronaldinho in the middle.

Ronaldinho received the ball and dribbled past Flamini, took a few steps forward with the ball, and then made a straight pass!

Torres started to move at the moment Ronaldinho passed the ball. He led the ball into the right side of the penalty area before Campbell, and adjusted another step to control the ball in a more comfortable position.

However, his shooting angle was already very small at this time, so he directly chose to pass it horizontally!

Ronaldo also strode to the front of Kolo Toure and shot!

The ball was so fast that even Kolo Toure didn't react at all!

Lehmann just waved his hand subconsciously, but failed to stop the ball from entering the net!

2-1, Manchester City once again surpassed the score!

Yang Luo waved his hand excitedly, the goal was scored very quickly!

Tuchel also came over to celebrate with him, and the German couldn't help but say: "It's so damn fast! This is blitzkrieg!"

Yang Luo couldn't help but look at him.

It seems that the Germans are still obsessed with blitzkrieg in their bones...

Lineker also sighed: "Let's take a look at Cristiano Ronaldo's running trajectory in this goal. After he got the ball near the midfield, he began to accelerate and run wildly. After passing the ball to Ronaldinho, he rushed into the penalty area without stopping and rushed to the front of the goal to score. This distance of more than 50 meters took him only about six or seven seconds."

Alan Hansen nodded and said: "If he had changed his career to sprinting, he might have achieved good results!"

Wenger on the sidelines sighed silently at this time.

In this defense, Campbell was obviously crushed by the younger Torres.

His contract will expire next year, and it seems that his contract renewal will be questionable.

But who can Arsenal's defense rely on?

Senderos?

Since he was bullied by Torres last season, his state has been in a slump.

Can he still take on this important task with such a fragile mentality?

He shook his head and continued to watch the game.

In the remaining minutes of the first half, neither side was able to score, and the score remained at 1:2, with Manchester City leading!
