Chapter 225 Who can take the gun from the King of Guns?
Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal fans looked sad.
The game scene is clear at a glance.
The technical team that was once unique in the Premier League is no longer unique in the Premier League.
and was forced to commit a tactical foul on defense.
Leeds United's dark horse myth continues, and it did not end just because their undefeated streak was broken.
Wenger clapped his hands to boost the morale of the team, looking stubborn.
Shen Hao signaled to Jamie Redknapp, hoping that he could further control Henry's threat.
Compared with last season's combination of Roy Keane and Simeone, Leeds United's defense was very solid in the second half of the league.
Roy Keane's partners this season have ranged from Davies to Jamie Redknapp to Ze Roberto.
Although it will enrich Leeds United's midfield structure, the defensive intensity is not as good as last season.
This is determined by the characteristics and style of the players, unless Shen Hao is willing to use a three-back system.
But that's not necessary.
There are gains and losses.
It is obvious to all that the vitality of Leeds United's midfield this season is stronger than last season.
Arsenal kicked off and tried to speed up their attack to create an attack that was difficult for the Leeds United defense to resist.
When Henry moved widely to connect the frontcourt offensive, he cooperated with Fabregas to send a wonderful pass to Baptista.
As a result, Stam accurately and decisively destroyed the ball when Baptista adjusted his control of the ball on the penalty area line!
Arsenal fans closed their eyes in pain.
The offense was disappointed once again.
When Leeds United's attack started, Arsenal players were frightened.
Captain Henry, who set an example, committed a direct tactical foul to slow down Leeds United's attack.
Allowing Arsenal's defense to retreat in time and fully adjust.
They had to make mistakes to prevent the defense from conceding the ball again.
Before half-time, Henry and Walcott both got yellow.
Leeds United had nearly 10 free kick opportunities in dangerous offensive areas throughout the first half but failed to score a single goal.
This made Shen Hao a little disappointed.
He even felt that if Deisler was on the court, he might be able to score any free kicks.
Leeds United walked into the dressing room with a 1:0 lead.
After midfield adjustments, the two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half.
Arsenal tried to steal the start.
The team's offense broke out, and Clichy and Hoyt took turns assisting the frontcourt. However, Henry took the ball inside in order to get rid of Jamie Redknapp's press and cut the ball too hard, causing Roy - Keane put down a shovel to destroy the ball first.
Rivaldo took the initiative to retreat to receive the ball from the lieutenant general and then passed it back to the center.
Rui Costa stepped forward and directly sent a mid-to-long-distance pass.
The football flew to the left side of the frontcourt.
It gave Ribery the advance amount to start his movement.
The French winger accelerated all the way after starting up, and continued to move forward with the ball.
Arsenal's overall defense retreated quickly, but it was obviously not as fast as Ribery's dribbling and advancement!
When Ribery entered the dangerous area and Gilberto Silva rushed to intercept, he accurately passed the ball to Ronaldo in the center right front.
Ronaldo kept moving, taking one step towards the ball, pedaling the ball with his left foot and changing direction with his right foot. Combined with the fake move of sinking his shoulders and shaking, Kolo Toure's direct defensive center of gravity was tilted and misplaced.
After the two people passed each other one meter apart, Ronaldo kicked off the goal at the top of the penalty area.
Djurou seemed to have closed his eyes and stepped forward to use his body to block his shooting line.
But the next second, Ronaldo clearly put his foot back and changed the direction of the ball and passed by Djuru.
Arsenal fans looked up to the sky and sighed.
Ronaldo passing Kolo Toure and Djuru is as easy as crossing the road!
Ronaldo, who entered the penalty area with the ball, calmly volleyed the ball towards the lower left corner of the goal!
Lehmann's prediction was correct, but Ronaldo's shot without interference was full of force and had a tricky angle.
He gritted his teeth and tried his best to save, but he was still half a meter away.
The football missed the inside of the left goal post and flew into the goal!
The limit, the blind spot!
This is not archery.
This is a surefire technique!
Ronaldo laughs, enjoys the game, enjoys scoring goals, enjoys scoring goals!
It seems that after coming to Leeds United, he can be himself without any burden, his physical condition is back to what he thinks is the best state, he can enjoy the excitement of life and shine on the pitch.
For him, nothing could be better than this.
"Ronaldo defeated two people and went straight to Huanglong! This is our Ronny!"
"Arsenal wants to seize the rhythm and sneak attack? Haha, stealing the chicken will lose the rice!"
“How could Leeds United’s home be so easily stolen?”
Leeds United fans were delighted and cheered for Ronaldo.
Wenger wiped his face, feeling particularly heavy.
The practical significance of losing to Leeds United at home will make Arsenal's situation in the fourth place worse.
But the meaning beyond reality will make Henry even more frustrated.
In fact, this kind of thing is easy to understand.
Even though Henry is not as good as Ronaldo, he is still a well-deserved T0 forward in the Premier League.
Ronaldo is Leeds United's number one C position, what is the configuration around him?
Franck Ribery, Rui Costa and Rivaldo are around him.
What is Henry's configuration?
Not only is there no auxiliary corps in the system, but Baptista is at the center position.
For the sake of the team, this can be tolerated.
But if you want to win the Champions League, don't compete with Europe's traditional giants, just compete with Leeds United.
Stam at the back and Roy Keane at the midfielder position.
What does Arsenal compare to?
This backwardness is comprehensive.
But let’s talk about improving soft power through technology and tactics.
Beaten.
The gap is obvious.
Henry was indeed feeling very disappointed.
But he still tried to cheer up and face the game seriously and focused.
He is not a passionate spiritual leader, he is an outstanding player, and he is different in every way.
But this is a little down-to-earth.
He works hard, but he cannot infect his teammates and improve the overall morale of the team.
The last two generations of Arsenal's spiritual leaders were more prominent in this regard than Henry, Vieira and Adams.
However, Arsenal's overall strength has continued to decline in recent years with the departure of important players.
Therefore, at this time, it is absolutely impossible to expect Henry to hold up the collapsing sky alone.
Shen Hao doesn't like to give players responsibilities and expectations beyond their abilities.
That's not realistic.
Leeds United 2:0 Arsenal.
Wenger racked his brains to think of how to counterattack.
Leeds United performed very solidly.
Patient ball control organization, looking for opportunities to tear apart the opponent's defense.
Although Shen Hao has not invested too much in the offensive system this season, leaving the offensive quality to the free play of the forward players.
But he did not completely hand over the responsibility of creating opportunities to the forwards.
Like the Brazilian national team's offense in the recent era, the midfielder does not need to bear the responsibility of creation.
It is completely left to the striker to create and finish.
Shen Hao needs to maintain the core thinking of the system that the midfielder wins the world.
With the midfielder, he can advance and attack and retreat and defend.
Once the role and style of the midfield become single, the diversity of the team will be limited.
At the same time, it also relieves the pressure on the striker and the team will not be overly dependent on Ronaldo.
So we can see that even Leeds United's substitute lineup is very strong.
After Hoyt's foul on Ribery was yellowed, Wenger finally made up his mind to launch a counterattack.
After Arsenal successfully defended the set piece, Wenger signaled to the team.
Arsenal began to press forward, and the defense caused offside.
The midfield confrontation became more intense, and Arsenal defended closely. As a result, Leeds United fell into a disadvantage in the midfield.
After all, Arsenal is also a model of team football.
But at the same time Walcott's performance was further restricted.
Speedy players definitely need space. After Arsenal pressed up, Walcott was restricted to a small area, which greatly reduced his role.
The experience is not rich enough, and the strength needs to be improved. In this level of competition, Walcott is surrounded by a group of veterans. Arsenal's pressure is like chasing a duck to the shelf, which puts him in a dilemma.
This caused Arsenal to continue to use fouls and yellow cards in exchange for fault tolerance. At the critical stage of fighting for opportunities, they seemed to be lame.
Wenger saw the crux of the problem and decisively replaced Walcott with Van Persie.
Van Persie was expressionless.
In the first half of the match against Leeds United, he came on as a substitute and it was a sure-fire game.
A little better today.
A dying situation.
But this also made him feel angry.
Why does he have to face a big hole that the team has dug every time he appears on the court?
Leeds United also made a substitution at the same time.
Rivaldo comes off and Deisler comes on.
When Kolo Toure and Djuru have both turned yellow.
Wenger frowned.
Shen Hao crossed his arms across his chest with a cold look in his eyes.
You may not say it well with your mouth, but your body is very honest.
Although Arsenal did not go too far in their fouling actions, they still regard fouling as an important part of their skills and tactics.
It takes time for Van Persie to enter the stage.
Henry's diagonal overhead pass is full of imagination.
Even though his condition and strength have not yet returned to their peak.
But at least he is still conscious, and it is reasonable for him to occasionally make stunning moves that are eye-catching.
It's a pity that Van Persie was half a beat late in grabbing the point.
He reluctantly took off and volleyed the ball past the baseline.
As the game approached the 80th minute, Candela sent a long pass from the backcourt.
Kolo Toure took off and headed the ball forward under Ronaldo's frontal pressure.
As a result, the football was sent to the feet of Modric, who had just come on as a substitute.
Modric stopped the ball and directly sent an overhead pass.
Kolo Toure watched the football fly overhead and raised his hand to indicate that Ronaldo was offside.
Ronaldo was indeed offside!
But Ronaldo didn't press forward.
After both Kolo Toure and Djurou slowed down, they suddenly found a man dressed in black rushing towards the middle of the penalty area!
Deisler, wearing the black Leeds United away jersey, came from behind and came first!
Lehmann rushed out of the penalty area and tried to clear the ball first.
But before the ball bounced to the ground for the second time, Deisler volleyed the ball forward when he was still three meters away from Lehmann.
After picking up the ball, his speed did not slow down, bypassing Lehmann and rushing towards Arsenal's penalty area!
Lehmann reached out to shoot after taking off. He may have forgotten that he had left the penalty area.
Even if his hand touches the football, a foul will be called.
If the referee is impartial, he should be given a red card.
Fortunately, he didn't touch the ball.
The Arsenal fans closed their eyes in despair.
Finished!
Deisler entered Arsenal's penalty area, and Clichy chased back wildly, but was out of reach.
Deisler unloaded the ball with his feet in front of the penalty spot, and then pushed the ball lightly into the empty goal.
Leeds United fans roared wildly!
"Sebastian Deisler! I dare say that he is the best player in Leeds United this season. He will contribute as long as he plays!"
"If there is any test for Deisler, it must be that if one day he becomes the main force in white, can he maintain a stable and outstanding state?"
"Yes, the substitute and the main player are completely different roles. The environment they are in, the pressure and tests they undergo, the responsibilities they shoulder, and the players' mentality will all be completely different."
Arsenal fans are heartbroken.
If we talk about Leeds United and Manchester United this season, Chelsea are inseparable.
There's really no way to tell the difference.
No one would argue that Leeds United's second-team loss to Chelsea was a true display of strength.
Now that Leeds United has returned to the top of the list, it reflects Shen Hao's management wisdom and courage.
Because Ronaldo, who was in a slump before Christmas, is back!
Leeds United as a whole has also completed recharging under Shen Hao's rotating vacation in a month. Now the fighting spirit is high and the recent performance has been solid and strong.
Arsenal, which suffered a double defeat against Leeds United twice this season, shows that the strength gap between the two teams has begun to overshoot!
The most horrifying thing to think about is...Arsenal failed to score Leeds United's goal for nearly 180 minutes.
Shen Hao's smile was so confident that it made Arsenal fans feel very hateful.
Wenger's dim eyes also revealed a bit of helplessness.
Shen Hao once said that he would suppress Arsenal for a long time.
At least it did this season.
next season?
Wenger doesn't know.
If Henry really leaves, where will the arsenal go?
Who can catch the gun king's gun?
Is it thriving or failing?
Wenger felt so bitter and had nowhere to complain.
Leeds United lead Arsenal 3:0.
Lock the win.
Shen Hao used up the last substitution spot.
Ze Roberto replaces Roy Keane.
The fighting spirit of most of Arsenal's players has been extinguished.
But there are still people fighting!
Henry!
The gun king who has returned from injury but has not yet returned to his peak form.
Still trying to save Arsenal's dignity.
Before injury time arrived, Henry suddenly broke out a wave of individual troops from the wing.
Maybe Leeds United are a little relaxed.
It may also be that this was Henry's strongest breakthrough in the game, which brought an impact that caught Leeds United's defense off guard.
Kompany tripped Henry to the ground when he extended his leg after changing the smash.
The referee's whistle sounded.
Kompany was furious and roared to the sky with remorse on his face.
What he hated was that he had stretched his legs hastily just now.
There was also the previous slight against Henry.
It only takes less than 10 seconds for top stars to flash by.
So this is his lesson.
After calming down after yelling, Kompany made an apologetic gesture to his teammates.
He does feel guilty.
His mistakes will most likely make Leeds United's victory imperfect.
Henry stood in front of the penalty spot. After the referee blew the whistle, he stood still and swung his leg to volley.
Calmly and accurately, he fired the ball into the top left corner of the goal.
Henry rushed into the goal, picked up the ball and ran towards the center circle.
Arsenal fans had no smiles on their faces, but they applauded Henry.
Vieira left, Campbell fled, Ashley Cole rebelled, Bergkamp retired...
Henry was the only one left of them.
Leeds United kicked off and gave Arsenal no chance.
They controlled the ball.
Launched the final blow.
Failed to create a threat.
The final whistle blows.
The only thing echoing in the Emirates Stadium was the cheers of Leeds United fans.
Shen Hao stood up and walked towards Wenger proactively.
Although Wenger did not want to face Shen Hao, the two still shook hands.
After letting go of his hand, Shen Hao gently patted Wenger's arm.
"Hold on."
The Leeds Tyrant turned towards the tunnel.
At this moment, Wenger looked at Shen Hao's back and became increasingly confused about this young Chinese marshal.
