Chapter 459 Miserable Failure
Chapter 459: Disastrous defeat
Gao Fei, who was sitting in the audience, frowned and frowned. In this game, he also opened the system, and all corners of the court were in his mind.
It is precisely because of this that Gao Fei felt that Arsenal was in danger in this game, although it seems that Arsenal is leading his opponent 2-1.
Gao Fei saw the danger. Roma's offense was too layered. One wave was not tied and another wave started again. The speed of the offensive and the accuracy of the passing were prohibited. When it was time to attack, everyone attacked and when it was time to defend, they did not hesitate at all.
What I fear most on the football field is that when encountering such a situation, the overall consistency of the opponent's movements, the offense and defense are very regular.
Although they did not get the lead in the score for the time being, Gao Fei found that the control of the ball was handed over to the opponent's hands little by little.
The positions of both sides on the court are getting more and more deviating, towards Arsenal's half-court, but neither the players nor the coaches on the court have noticed this because Arsenal's offense and ball control can still be played. However, it is only necessary for a very keen person to realize that it is already very difficult for Arsenal's offense to break through Roma's midfield defense.
Both sides came back from the locker room, but still did not make any personnel adjustments. Ospina sweated a lot at the beginning.
In the 49th minute, Dzeko was knocked down by Ospina in the penalty area. Just when everyone thought they were going to award a penalty, the referee thought Dzeko was taking the ball in an offside position. Therefore, although Ospina also fouled behind him, Dzeko made a foul first.
Arsenal escaped...
But what should come will come. Roma's offense is too layered. In the 52nd minute, Pellegrini made a cross, and Salavi broke through from the middle to the left side of the penalty area. Facing the defensive player forcibly shot, the ball was saved by Ospina, but the player who grabbed the first point was Roma's player. Dzeko easily made a follow-up shot from 10 yards into the empty goal.
2 to 2
This is a big trouble. Roma scored two goals at home and lost two away goals. This is very unfavorable for Arsenal. They must score goals away from home. The problem is that this game is not over at all.
However, the Arsenal players were a little unable to run and didn't want to run anymore. On the contrary, the Roma players were still constantly attacking and working hard.
The gap between the two sides suddenly emerged!
Arsenal's problem Wenger has discovered, so he called out all the players on the bench to warm up and prepare to make substitution adjustments.
In the 55th minute, Roma got another free kick from the left. Kolarov took the free kick, and Dzeko headed the ball from the right side of the small penalty area. This time it was high.
Immediately afterwards, Roma captain De Rossi made a long pass, and Yundeer kept stopping in the penalty area and shot directly. Fortunately, this kick hit Ospina's arms.
The fans at home have already started to get in agitation because they have not seen their players shoot for a long time. Without shooting, there will be no offense. If there is no offense, how can they win this game?
As time came to the 60th point, Vancouver made the first personnel adjustment, Chamberlain came on the field and replaced Wilhelm.
Odegao did not sign up for the Champions League, so he was not on the roster in this game.
Wenger is now extremely glad to keep Chamberlain. During the winter break, Chamberlain also wanted to leave the team and play for Liverpool, but Wenger was finally kept.
Chamberlain's appearance did not change the situation on the field. Rome's offensive attitude and momentum had already begun and could no longer suppress it.
In the 62nd minute, Dzeko's header was once again received a long pass on the right edge of the penalty area. This was Dzeko's fourth header in this game, all within the penalty area.
Arsenal's central defender could not limit Zeko's performance at all. Although he did not score, if he was attacked by the opponent again and again, he would not be far from the final score.
In the 67th minute, Arsenal escaped another disaster. Salavi volleyed in the penalty area, and the ball hit Bellerin's hand and bounced out of the bottom line.
Roma's players came up to use a penalty kick, but the referee gave a corner kick. He believed that Bellerin had his hands behind his back and did not expand his defense area. Although the ball was hit by his hand, the ball was not a foul.
It was Dzeko again. He grabbed the first point in the corner kick, headed the ball to Yundale, and shot from close range, Yundale improved the ball.
Now he couldn't believe it himself and quickly apologized to his teammates.
Roma's offense continued to press. De Rossi recently made a quick pass from the right side. Dzeko stopped the ball in front of the small penalty area, held Koscheerny, and forced himself to turn around and shoot. Fortunately, Koscheerny did not completely lose his position. This shot interfered with Dzeko and the ball slipped out.
In the 72nd minute, Arsenal finally made a shot. After Chamberlain got the ball in the backcourt, he rushed along the sidelines. After passing two people, he passed the ball to the middle. Walcott, who followed up, stopped the ball and shot.
Walcott kicked well and the ball went straight to the lower right corner of the goal. However, today, Roma's goalkeeper Alisson performed very amazingly in a few times. Such a blind spot shot was also saved by Alisson.
Looking back, Dzeko continued to make a comeback in the penalty area. He first missed the long shot, and then shot from a small angle, which was blocked by the goalkeeper.
As time goes by, Wenger has made the final personnel adjustment, played two defensive players, and replaced the offensive players in the frontcourt. He is going to block the last few minutes. If this game is tied 2-2, Wenger feels it is acceptable.
But the fact was slapped in the face at the last moment. In the 86th minute, Kolarov passed the ball, and England was unprepared for 25 yards. After adjusting his steps, he shot with a strong long shot. The ball hit the inside of the left post and bounced into the goal.
2 to 3
After losing, some of the Arsenal fans at the scene had already begun to leave the court, but Gao Fei walked outside the passage and he was waiting for the game to come to the court.
The 94th point, which was the last minute of catching the snake, Holding, who had just come on the bench, made a handball foul when blocking a cross in the penalty area.
Penalty, a penalty kick without any disagreement.
The few Roman fans have begun to sing and dance, singing their own team songs, waving the flags in their hands and red scarves.
Na England took the penalty and hit it 2-4.
Na England scored 2 goals, Dzeko scored a goal, and an own goal. At the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal lost a lot.
They have no strength to fight back today. It is not only the difference in scores, but also reflected in their performance on the court. Whether it is the rhythm, ball possession rate, pass success rate, etc., Arsenal is not as good as Roma in all aspects today.
