The Midfield Master

After the opening, Everton was suppressed by Arsenal's offensive. As the midfielder, Xia Ze also had to retreat to about 30 yards in his own half. The shifting of the position also gave him the chance to have a direct dialogue with Ozil earlier.

Both of them were originally No. 10 players, and the battle for the best player of the month before the game pushed them to the forefront.

Originally, after a game, two players who are both main attackers will not have too many direct conversations in the game.

But because of Arsenal's strength, Xia Ze and Ozil's direct dialogue time was much earlier. Only 2 minutes into the opening, the two had a chance to have a direct dialogue.

Ozil got the ball in the frontcourt, and Xia Ze, who retreated to the backcourt, immediately stepped forward to press.

"Look, Xia Ze went up, can he grab the ball from Ozil?"

"Nonsense, sure, he is Xia Ze!"

"But the opponent is Ozil!"

"So what about Ozil, the little daughter-in-law looks like a pushover!"

In the Everton stands, Everton fans gave their opinions on this scene. Many of these fans wore Xia Ze's No. 20 jersey.

Xia Ze's wonderful performance in the past month has quickly become the new favorite of Everton fans. In their eyes, even Ozil may not be Xia Ze's opponent.

Seeing that the team was at a disadvantage in the first minute or so, Xia Ze hoped to grab the opponent's ball as soon as possible to stabilize the situation.

So seeing Xia Ze get the ball, he shrank from the front midfielder to the midfield and immediately went up to grab it.

However, after more than a season of Premier League games, Ozil has already adapted to the intensity of confrontation in the Premier League. Facing Xia Ze's pressing, he didn't care, as if glued on his feet, he firmly controlled the ball.

Xia Ze stepped next to him several times, but he couldn't grab the ball. Instead, Ozil pushed forward again and again, and he was very surprised.

"Ozil is indeed the top attacking midfielder in the world today. It is very difficult to steal the ball under his feet, unless foul tactics are used."

"But wouldn't it be too dirty to foul so early? Would it be a yellow card?"

The thought of fouling flashed in Xia Ze's mind,

But it's just fleeting.

And he was still unable to grab the ball at Ozil's feet, and he was quite helpless.

But Xia Ze did not expect that he himself is also a midfielder, strong offensively and weak defensively, so it is quite difficult to defend Ozil.

Even defensive midfielders like Barry and Gibson can hardly limit Ozil's performance.

But Xia Ze did not give up, he was still entangled with Ozil in the midfield area.

Gibson, who was behind, saw Xia Ze pressing Ozil tightly, and knew that this was a good opportunity to pinch and steal the ball. He also knew that Ozil could not continue to break through, or the defense would let him break through.

So he also rushed up, and together with Xia Ze, they flanked Ozil.

Unexpectedly, Ozil's skills were indeed excellent. With a pull, he dunked the ball past Gibson's feet, and then his body was wiped, and he broke out from the two men's defenses.

Xia Ze saw him shuttle through the crowd like a loach, ignoring Everton's defense, and couldn't help being secretly startled.

Seeing something wrong, Barry immediately shoveled over, trying to prevent Ozil from continuing to break through at the cost of a foul. Unexpectedly, Ozil shot faster, pushed the ball forward, and sent it to the left penalty area.

Everyone thought that he would continue to break through or go down to win a free kick, but he used this weird pass to send the ball into the penalty area.

Jagelka and Distin were caught off guard and rushed towards the ball. But a red figure ran to the ball faster than them, it was Ramsey!

After Ramsey got the ball, he faced Howard directly. Although the angle was slightly narrower, it was still a good chance to shoot!

Within 2 minutes of the opening, Arsenal got a good chance to score, which made the professor Wenger on the sidelines very excited. Even though he had his hands on his chest, it could still be seen from his expression that he was not calm.

The more than 30,000 Everton fans in the stands held their breath and watched the field nervously, with worried expressions in their eyes. If you fall behind at the beginning, it will be difficult for the team to play the next game.

shit!

Xia Ze also screamed in his heart that it was not good. He thought that if he could snatch Ozil's ball or foul him in time, maybe Ramsey would not get this opportunity.

After this confrontation, he still felt that there was a huge gap between himself and Ozil. Whether it is the ability to control the ball, the vision of passing the ball, or the judgment of the battle situation, there is still a long way to go from these top midfielders in the world.

"It seems that I still have a lot to learn." Xia Ze shook his head and blamed himself. Looking at the defensive teammates in the penalty area, I hope Arsenal's offense will return without success.

In the Everton penalty area, after Ramsey got the ball, he looked up at the middle and found that his teammates did not run out of space, and Distin's flying tackle was also in front of him, so he didn't have much time to think about it.

So he raised his thigh and volleyed, directly blasting towards the goal!

When Howard saw Ramsey pull up to shoot, he was already prepared. He quickly tilted his body to the left, sealed the near corner, and directly saved the ball out of the baseline.

Fortunately, the ball was blocked by Distin from the far post, forcing Ramsey to only hit the close corner, otherwise the gate behind Howard would be dangerous.

After seeing Howard make a wonderful save, there was an uproar in the surrounding stands first, and then bursts of applause for the bald goalkeeper.

Martinez also let out a long sigh of relief on the sidelines, but his expression was still very cautious.

On the side of Arsenal's coaching bench, Wenger frowned and spread his hands helplessly towards the assistant coach on the bench. Obviously unhappy with Ramsey squandering such a good opportunity.

"Keep an eye on Ozil! How could he pass such a ball!" After Howard fell to the ground and threw the ball, he immediately bounced up and yelled at his defender.

After being drank by Howard, Xia Zefan woke up suddenly. He wondered if his defense was too gentle just now. In this game, Martinez insisted to use fierce fighting to block Arsenal's attack.

Obviously, if you are too gentle, you will undoubtedly be defeated by the opponent's smooth cooperation.

Now is not the time to pay attention to civility and courtesy. Football is originally a man's sport, and fighting within the rules must be used absolutely. Sometimes tactics require it, and even fouls must be used.

With his mind set, Xia Ze finally figured out how to deal with Ozil's attack. c
