Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

The second half of the game started.

Arsenal made a substitution adjustment, Reyes came on the field, replacing Bergkamp.

Bergkamp was already 35 years old at this time, and it was impossible for him to last the whole game with such high intensity.

Manchester City did not move, and it was obvious that Van Gaal was satisfied with their performance in the first half.

However, Van Gaal still asked Tony and Xabi Alonso to warm up and prepare to make substitutions at any time.

After the two sides continued to fight, Reyes gained greater tactical freedom than Bergkamp and became a free man in the frontcourt.

Of course, this is not because he is better than Bergkamp, ​​but because he can run better.

The positions of Ljungberg and Pires also seemed to be a little forward, and Arsenal's formation actually formed a 4231 formation.

It seems that the professor still wants to win this game through a more active attack!

Yang Luo in the stands couldn't help nodding his head. Compared with opponents like Mourinho, the professor is still much cuter.

In the 53rd minute, Vieira intercepted the ball in the midfield and passed it directly to Reyes in front.

Reyes took the ball and shook off Essien's first tackle, then passed the ball to Ljungberg who was advancing.

At this time, Evra was turning back from the forward run, and there was a distance of two or three body lengths from Ljungberg.

But Ljungberg didn't give him a chance to get close, and rushed into the penalty area with a gust of wind under his feet!

At this time, Henry was also running towards the penalty area at a high speed, and Stam and Distin were on guard, fearing that this super striker would find an opportunity.

Two or three seconds later, Yongberg came to the corner of the penalty area, and he suddenly kicked and swept diagonally into the penalty area!

With his pass, Henry suddenly made a feint to bypass Stam and came behind Distin!

Yongberg's kick was very strange. Not only did it stick to the grass tightly, but it also had a strong rotation, making it difficult for Distin at the front point to handle it.

Just when he hesitated for a moment, Henry threw himself out directly!

His toes gently touched the football, thus changing the trajectory of the football!

The football rolled straight into the goal!

The ball was only about five or six meters away from the goal. According to common sense, the goalkeeper could not save the ball at all!

But Cech made a save that was difficult to explain by common sense!

He quickly got off the ground and poked the ball with his fingertips!

The football changed direction and rolled towards the bottom line!

But the next moment, affected by inertia, Henry's body uncontrollably hit Cech!

However, at the moment of hitting Cech, he pulled back his legs with all his strength, trying not to hurt Cech.

Cech also understood Henry's kindness. He held down Henry's feet with his hands and smiled at Henry.

Henry raised his eyebrows and smiled widely.

He straightened up, patted Cech and gave him a thumbs up.

Obviously, he appreciated Cech's save just now.

Yang Luo in the stands saw this scene and couldn't help but think of Stephen Hunt a few years later, and couldn't help but curse him in his heart.

If he had pulled back his legs like Henry, would Cech have suffered that serious injury?

Thinking of this, Yang Luo frowned. Where is this old bitch now?

Wait for Bernstein to check and see if he can find a chance to destroy him.

This dangerous situation also made Van Gaal on the sidelines very dissatisfied, so he made a substitution adjustment, and Xabi Alonso replaced Makelele.

He was preparing to be the one who could take the ball and organize in the middle, and reject Arsenal's counterattack from the root.

It was indeed Van Gaal's style.

Sure enough, after Xabi Alonso came on, the team's offense seemed more organized.

In the following period, Manchester City took advantage of the field, and for a while, the ball was in Arsenal's half.

In the 63rd minute, Xabi Alonso intercepted the ball in the middle, and then kicked a long pass. Torres gained an advantage in the race with Campbell, and took the ball into the penalty area and shot directly. The ball was barely saved by Lehmann.

In the 67th minute, Manchester City came back, and Xabi Alonso sent the ball to the left again. Ronaldo stopped the ball and cut inside. After shaking off the right back Lauren, he chose a cross. Torres headed the ball off under the interference of Campbell.

So Van Gaal replaced Teacher Tony to increase the high point in the penalty area.

In the 73rd minute, Ronaldo

Dinho's shot from the penalty area line made Lehmann make another wonderful save, and Manchester City got another corner kick.

During this period, Manchester City has suppressed Arsenal, and now they just lack a player who can make a fatal blow.

Yang Luo looked at the time and thought that Manchester City should not draw when they have the advantage, which would be a pity.

The fans also began to cheer for their home team.

Xabi Alonso took the corner kick, and Tony in the penalty area jumped high, but Campbell headed the ball out first.

Pires at the top of the arc rushed to Ronaldinho and passed the ball to Yongberg on the wing, and Yongberg immediately started running with the ball!

At this time, there were only Evra, Maicon, Essien and Wright-Phillips in the midfield and backcourt of Manchester City, and they were retreating rapidly.

On the Arsenal side, Henry and Reyes were moving forward rapidly from the backcourt!

After Yongberg advanced more than 20 meters, Evra pressed forward, trying to stop Yongberg's advance.

But Yongberg did not give him this opportunity. He glanced at the positions of Henry and Reyes, and directly passed the ball diagonally to Henry.

Essien followed Henry, ready to kick him when he received the ball.

But Henry suddenly made a feint and let the ball pass!

Essien's eyes blurred, and the football had passed them and was handed to Reyes!

But Reyes did not stop the ball at all, and directly sent it forward to Henry's feet!

This smooth movement completely tore Manchester City's defense apart!

At this time, Henry had formed a semi-single situation, and Maicon and Wright-Phillips ran over quickly to fill in the position, ready to interfere with Henry.

But Henry was very fast, and his long legs took a few steps to approach the penalty area!

Cech also abandoned the goal and attacked, while Maicon approached Henry from the side, hoping to affect him through the defense of multiple people.

But Henry suddenly smiled, and made a fake shot with his right foot, and when he touched the ball, it suddenly turned into a cross pass!

This was beyond everyone's expectations!

But the audience in the stands suddenly felt cold in their hearts!

Because on the other side of the penalty area, an unattended red and white figure appeared!

That person was Ashley Cole!

He used his super speed to run all the way from the backcourt and finally arrived at the critical moment!

He just pushed the ball lightly, and the football rolled into the goal without any suspense!
