Chapter 16 The crucial goal! The main credit for Arsenal's goal must be attributed to the extremely calm handling of "Little Fatty". Even though he was able to complete the shot, he finally chose to pass the ball to create a goal. I have to say that this is The energy possessed by 38-year-old Rooney. Despite Mourinho's harsh demands, he still stood on the sidelines and applauded the goal. When Rooney looked over, Mourinho gave a thumbs up, nodded with a smile and continued to applaud Simon Gray Sen is not jealous at all of Mourinho's "little fat". After all, the 38-year-old Rooney can play a decisive role in the game, can't the 30-year-old Shaq? After the game restarted, both sides completely let go of their attacks. The ball flew back and forth on the field. One moment it was in front of the Leeds goal, and the next moment it was in the Arsenal half. Twenty-two players were concentrating on it. Once you get involved, the fast-paced attack scenes also make the game more exciting. It¡¯s a pitythe game lasted for another forty minutes, and the first half was almost over, and both sides still failed to score a goal! In the 45 minutes of the first half, Arsenal completed 8 shots and Leeds United completed 9 shots. However, except for Jonny Howson and Sack, who each scored one goal, the average The shot that came in less than three minutes failed to result in a goal. The linesman held up the first half injury time sign with a number written on it 2, there will be two minutes of injury time in the first half! In everyone's opinion, nothing should change in these two minutes. Some Arsenal fans even left their own business to buy food and drink. But at this moment, Brazilian center back Robert Neo watched half the game, with Sparks assisting from the side. Shaq, who had done almost nothing throughout the first half, suddenly broke out "Bang!" The ball flew high from the Leeds United penalty area and flew into the center circle! When Arsenal was attacking, French midfielder Valli made a pass from the frontcourt and was kicked out by the retreating Ashley Hood with a big kick! At this time, Shaq was still moving on the left side of the midfield, and the ball was not under his control. Sparks ran towards the spot where the ball landed, and a white figure rushed up quicklyMurray! The German, who is brave by nature, completely demonstrated his bravery at this moment! "Boom!" Murray and Sparks met each other through the ball. When the England defender was knocked staggering, Murray also lost his balance and fell on the lawn. But at this moment, Murray Tenaciously, he used his left foot to sweep the ball to the front left. What happened next became the "shooter's" nightmare! "Bang!" Shaq ran sideways from the left side, his body only paused slightly. He brought the ball to his left side with his right foot, turned around, and started to rush forward with the ball. Robertinho did not relax his vigilance against Shaq, but he was still two steps slower than Shaq, and Shaq's movements were too fast. He completed the control of the ball the moment he caught the ball, and also quickly changed direction. , and the game suddenly entered the rhythm of Leeds United's counterattack. "Pahpahpah!" Shaq took the ball and sprinted forward. And it was cheap to the right laterally, which also made Robertinho can only run to the side. There was absolutely no way to make any steals. The Brazilian's right hand had already been raised. He hesitated and gave up the moment he wanted to pull Shaq. Arsenal is indeed not weak, but even if they are playing at home, they are not too weak. It is possible to defeat the "Young Guards" in front of you with one less person to fight! This Leeds United team indeed has the potential to be a top European team. And now is the time for them to turn on all their firepower! Left back Papadopoulos rushed over, but he was unable to intercept Shaq. Although Shaq was sprinting with all his strength, although he could no longer get rid of anyone like before, not everyone could get rid of him from under his feet. The ball was stolen. In addition to Roberto Nio and Papadopoulos, Argentina goalkeeper Romero also had to abandon the goal. He ran out of the small penalty area to intercept Shaq. If Shaq was allowed to enter the penalty area to complete the shot at will, it would be the same as a person locking himself in a room and hanging himself. There would be no way to survive. As he watched, Shaq dribbled the ball to the center and slightly to the right, only four or five meters away from the Arsenal penalty area. Roberto Nio and Papadopoulos also cut horizontally, and there would be an interception soon. Opportunity. But - "Bang!" Shaq suddenly picked the ball out while running! ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? "Ah!" Romero, who was ill-prepared, jumped up, but just because he didn't expect that Shaq would shoot like this, he was unable to use all his strength in this jump, and his raised hands ultimately failed. When he touched the ball, the ball flew a foot away from his palm! When Romero turned his head again, the ball had already flown into the goal behind him The ball went in! ? At this moment, there was deathly silence in the Emirates Stadium! "Gunner" fans were completely shocked! Everyone knows that Shaq is dangerous, but after watching the game before the first half, they felt that Mourinho had indeed found a way to curb Shaq's performance. At least Shaq was in this game. There should be no chance of scoring goals in the game. Butat this critical moment when the first half of the game is about to end and Arsenal will re-adjust their state, morale, and mentality in the second half, and completely tear the "Young Guards" apart with their home advantage, Shaq unexpectedly Just scored! What¡¯s more, it¡¯s such a wonderful shot! This is really alas! Seeing the numbers on the scoreboard compiled into Arsenal 1:2 Leeds United, the Leeds side finally started cheering "goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ! ! ! ! !¡± The players pounced on Shaq in surprise, and took the lead again near the end of the first half. In the second half, they were able to play better, and everyone could smell the victory. Shaqis truly worthy of being the number one star in the world! This goal was attributed to Ashley Hood's successful defense, and Murray's desperate and crazy grab for the ball played a decisive role in it. But at this time, everyone only remembered Shaq's lightning-quick call. Dribbling as if the ball was stuck to his feet, he calmly completed an exquisite lob under the pressure of the opponent's two defenders. ¡°Obviously, this is Shaq¡¯s influence as the world¡¯s number one star. Under Shaq¡¯s dazzling light like the sun, everyone else can only become a foil. Until the end of the first half, when Simon Grayson and Harvey led the Leeds United coaching staff into the tunnel, the smiles on their faces had not yet faded Shaq¡¯s goal was really too big The key! This goal not only gave Leeds United the lead again in the score, but also dampened the morale and fighting spirit of the "Gunners". The most important thing is that entering the second half of the game with a one-goal lead, Leeds United will have more control. Taking the initiative, the "Gunners" will have no other choice but to attack in the second half of the game, while Leeds United can choose to continue to attack their opponents or engage in defensive counterattacks. After discussing with Harvey and others, Simon Grayson decided to play defensive counterattack in the second half. Because now Leeds United has a one-goal advantage, Arsenal will have no choice but to attack in the second half, and once Leeds United defends this one-goal advantage, the opponent will become impatient as time goes by. , the length of this time will depend on the resilience of the "Gunners" themselves. Some teams like Real Madrid may show signs of collapse after ten minutes of fierce attack in the second half, while other teams may attack like Bayern Munich and other German teams. This is something that cannot be predicted for the opponent until the end of the game. But no matter what, now the "Young Guards" have the advantage and have taken the initiative in the game. No one can deny this! Mourinho is having a headache at this time, and he feels that the game is beyond his control. This feeling occurs every time he plays against a team with Shaq. Obviously he had arranged everything and restricted Shaq's performance in the first half. Just as the first half was about to end, Shaq actually scored such a wonderful lob. Zi took back the initiative in the game again. ¡°Shaq¡can¡¯t really be measured by common sense! Mourinho can no longer think about how to arrange the team's tactics so that the team can steadily rely on its own strong strength to defeat the opponent in the second half. The first thing he has to consider now is how to defeat the team that is lagging behind. After the ball was recovered, the tactics previously discussed with assistant Steve Bould had to be overturned and restarted. This feeling Mourinho really hates it! The halftime break is only fifteen minutes. To the fans, these fifteen minutes seem a bit long, but for both sides of the game, this time is really too short. The head coaches of both teams are taking advantage of the players. They?When you drink sports drinks and eat high-calorie foods, you lay out your tactical arrangements, and then the second half of the game is about to begin. Rooney, who was standing in the center circle with Sack to serve, calmly looked at Shack not far away, and couldn't completely calm down in his heart. The kid who first arrived at Manchester United and fooled around with himself and Nani has really turned out over the years. He has become a god-like existence in the history of football. The goal near the end of the first half was so beautiful that it left people speechless. Even as an opponent, I have to admire it, but In the second half of the game, you Leeds United Can you still escape intact? ? Only as a member of Arsenal, Rooney knows exactly what arrangements Mourinho made during the halftime break, and these tactics will definitely make Leeds United encounter unprecedented difficulties in the second half.
