Chapter 140 Arsenal's "Mr. Key"
After falling behind by two goals, Highbury wailed, but the angry fans found that there was not much time left.
Although there is still about half an hour including stoppage time, Chelsea's "task" has been completed.Not only scored two away goals in the away game, but also managed not to concede a goal, throwing all the problems to the Gunners.
In the next game, even if the Gunners scored a goal, they could only play overtime against Chelsea with a total score of 4-4.What's more, if Chelsea scored another goal, the Gunners would have to score three goals to qualify.
So now all the pressure is transferred to the Gunners.
The professor was very distressed and simply stopped pulling the zipper on his down jacket.
If the Gunners' offense is effective, then Chelsea will not lead by two goals in this game; Chelsea's lead by two goals also just shows that the Gunners' offense is not afraid of threats at all, so that they can be attacked by the Blues unscrupulously.
Bergkamp, who has the ability to change the situation of the game, has already been injured, and the professor has only one substitution left.Who can stand up to save the team when the main force is exhausted?
Looking back at the bench, the other gunmen were silent, and they didn't even have the courage to look at the coach.
The professor sighed, now he can only rely on Henry.
The cold April wind blows into the chest of the Frenchman, without a down jacket to protect the body, the professor only feels his heart is chilled.
"Is the attack still effective?"
"Is there still hope to advance to the semi-finals?"
"Who can stand up and save the team?"
The gun fans who were full of doubts were puzzled.
In front of Tang Wu's "middle finger", they can fight back insults unscrupulously; but now that the team is behind, it's like a pot of cold water pouring on their heads, but they can't resist.
"Come on, come on!"
I don't know who took the lead, the red fans in the stands stood up together to cheer for the lagging Arsenal.
However, the next situation was not as the gun fans had imagined-the gunmen fought hard to attack, and the Blues struggled to resist.
The ball is still in Chelsea's hands - at least it is difficult for the Gunners to touch the ball.
"The ball possession rate of the two sides in this game actually formed a strong contrast." Huang Jianxiang read the data handed over by the staff, "In the first six 10 minutes, Chelsea's ball possession rate was as high as 60.00%, while Arsenal only had 30.00% six."
"That is to say, if Arsenal want to counterattack, they must firmly control the ball at their feet, and the midfielder's fighting strength and ball-holding level must also be improved."
"It's a pity that Bergkamp is not on the field. Except for Henry who is running and Pires on the wing who can hold the ball for a short time, the Gunners don't have anyone who can form an effective midfield organization."
When Huang Jianxiang was facing the data to popularize science for the fans, the ball rolled to Tang Wu's feet again.
As in the first half, Chelsea played calmly.Don't rush to attack when you don't score a goal, and now you are leading by two goals, even less anxious.
Three passes and two falls, from left to right, and from right to left.
Tang Wu appeared in the right corner of the penalty area for a while, and ran to the left side of the penalty area for a while.
It seemed like a waste of physical strength, but why would La Nieli care?
After every game, the B2B midfielder will run to leg cramps, but the goalkeeper in the penalty area is like walking for 10 minutes.I don't know how many coaches want the goalkeeper to transfer the excess physical strength to the midfielder, but everyone knows that this is not realistic.
But now, the two B2B midfielders, Lampard and Parker, are still brisk, while Vieira, Ljungberg and others can barely support in the backcourt.
The biggest reason for this situation is that Tang Wu, who runs frequently and in a large area in the backcourt, his moving distance is not even worse than that of Gudjohnsen and others who are at the forefront.
"Coach, let me try it." Just as Wenger frowned, a tall, black and thin man came behind him.
"Kanu, you." The professor never expected that it would still be Kanu who stood up at this time.
Oh, it can only be Kanu!
There are two strikers on the bench, one is Kanu and the other is Wiltord.
In contrast, the professor prefers to make Wiltord, who is shorter, faster and has better foot skills, to make his debut at the last minute of the game.
Because although Kanu has a height of 1.9 meters [-], his header ability is not outstanding, and even a little weak.
In addition, Tang Wu has an unparalleled advantage in defending against high-altitude balls, so Kanu will not use the high-altitude balls in the penalty area to pose a threat to Tang Wu's goal. This is why Wenger does not want Kanu to play.
But now, the "citizen" Frenchman is still sitting firmly on the bench, as if it has nothing to do with him; but this Nigerian African footballer stands up and wants to do his best for the team.
Wenger knows that with his prestige in the team, even if he refuses Kanu and "forces" Wiltord to play, it doesn't matter.But for some reason, although the professor came to his lips at this time, it was difficult to speak.
As the greatest African player in the history of the Arsenal club, "Mr. Long Legs" Kanu has always been loved by fans.
The reason is simple. Kanu has a loyal and open-minded personality and has been working hard on the Arsenal bench.
In the 99-00 season, Kanu played 50 times for Arsenal. Although many of them came off the bench, he scored 17 goals in one breath.
Among them, the most talked about is against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
In that game, Kanu played when he was two goals behind the Blues. As a result, he scored a hat-trick in 15 minutes and finally helped the Gunners with a 3-2 score.
It is precisely because of Kanu's "super substitute" status that the professor did not hesitate to reject Fulham's offer of 2001 million pounds to him in the summer of 700.
From the data and performance point of view, after Kanu, Arsenal has never had a "super substitute" who can turn the tide after replacing his teammates.
"Mr. Wenger, let me play!" Seeing that the professor did not reply for a long time, Kanu said again, "Coach, you know, my time in Arsenal is running out."
Hearing Kanu's deep voice, Wenger suddenly woke up from the memory.
This season, the Gunners have trained too many young rookies.
There are Reyes, Clichy, Cesc Fabregas and many other small players in the midfield position.As they grow up in the Gunners, a group of old people will eventually leave.
Among them is Kanu from Nigeria.
Kanu is 28 this year, although he is in his prime.But because of heart surgery, he is no longer adapted to the fierce competition of Arsenal.
His contract is about to expire this summer, and even in Wenger's report to the club, he does not recommend renewing Kanu from time to time.
But now, seeing Kanu's sincere eyes, the professor couldn't help it anymore, and finally made up his mind: "Okay, you go to warm up!"
"Good coach!" Without saying a word, Kanu jogged along the path beside the field with his arms in his arms.
"Hey, it's Kanu!"
"That's right, Mr. Key!"
"Mr. Key is coming!?"
"One more hat-trick, let this group of upstarts know that this is Highbury, not a place for them to run wild!"
Seeing Kanu warming up, the gun fans were inexplicably excited.
This is the popularity Kanu Gunner has accumulated in the past five years, and it is also the result of his hard work.
Gun fans seem to have a feeling of "turning defeat into victory" as long as they see this African tall guy with a mustache warming up.This is an "achievement" that no substitute at Arsenal can achieve.
Finally, with a tackle from Ljungberg, the German Merk stopped the game.
Looking at the No. 9 number plate held high on the sidelines, Reyes cursed in a low voice, and walked towards the sidelines sadly.
In this game, apart from the conflict between Lang She and Tang Wu being captured by the camera, the fans didn't even see him interspersed with running positions on the screen.
The whole game was like roaming, except for wasting opportunities, he did not make any contribution to the team.
The 7 shots were all outside the penalty area, and none of them were within the range of the goal frame.
Coupled with a yellow card, although Reyes was not booed by the fans of the home team when he left the field, the scene was terribly quiet.
All Gunners fans are waiting for this young guy from Spain to get off the field quickly, and then at the moment Kanu comes on the field, they give the warmest voice to this African footballer who has been working hard on the Gunners' bench for five years.
"Fuck, Fuck! Why did this happen?" Reyes spat on the ground, the only thing that proved he had played at Highbury in this game.
"Kanu, after playing, you have to use your height advantage as much as possible to play for Thierry. As long as we score a goal, we must firmly hold the score and drag Chelsea into overtime. Do you understand?"
The professor didn't even look at Reyes, he only had eyes for the African players who stood up at this critical moment.
