Chapter 137 Arsenal's Hope
Xiao Qing did not celebrate too much. Arsenal is still one goal behind in the score, and now he still needs to perform better. So the game started again soon, and at this time, the Emirates Stadium burst into more and more enthusiastic cheers, because Arsenal, who scored a goal, is now morale is starting to rise, and Arsenal finally made a decent attack at home.
In the 73rd minute, Fabregas shot a free kick from 20 yards from the middle to high; at this time, Arsenal midfielder De Nelson and Barcelona's tall, rich and handsome Pique in the penalty area each won a yellow card due to conflict and shoving; this also means that Pique will be suspended in the second leg due to a cumulative yellow card, which seems to indicate that Arsenal will get more goals at the Camp Nou Stadium.
Xiao Qing's performance in this game was still good. Although Xiao Qing didn't have any chance to show her face most of the time, Xiao Qing scored a goal. As for another focus of attention, Messi was a little unlucky in this game. Although his performance was actually very good, he still lacked the luck to score goals.
In the 76th minute of the game, Messi dribbled the ball from the left and broke into the penalty area and blocked it by Amunia. The cheers at Emirates Stadium became more and more enthusiastic, because Barcelona's proud world number one was a little dull at Emirates Stadium. Just when Arsenal fans were still gloating about Messi's unlucky, crazy cheers rang out of Emirates Stadium!
In the 77th minute of the game, Henry replaced Ibrahimovic on the bench! When Henry stood on the sidelines, he was different from all Barcelona players; although Arsenal is now behind one-two, the fans of Emirates Stadium still stood up to applaud and cheer for the review of the former King. Henry is always a member of the arsenal in the impression of Arsenal fans, and of course he will not get the booings that only Barcelona fans will get. There is a banner in the stands at Emirates Stadium that is clearly written: "Henry. Welcome home!"
Henry's appearance satisfied the last regret of this focus battle. Although Ibrahimovic, who scored twice before, may not meet the tactical needs. However, it is obvious that Henry must play in this game, and he needs to say goodbye to Arsenal on the court.
Although Henry was humanized and fulfilled the Gunners' old minister's wish to "go home", it reduced the pressure in front of the opponent's goal, which was tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain. Guardiola replaced the Swedes who performed bravely in the whole game at this time, which was equivalent to passing the team a 2-1 result. If Ibrahimovic was on the court at that time, Arsenal would never dare to go into the offense so crazy.
The fans of the audience burst into applause, and Henry got the treatment he deserved here. However, Henry is no longer the Henry who calls the wind and rain. Arsenal fans gave him applause and cheers, but when Henry got the ball for the first time, some fans booed him because Arsenal now needs to equalize the score.
When Henry first received the ball after he came on the court, no Arsenal player stepped forward to press him, almost giving him a chance to break into the penalty area; but he lost his peak form and was intercepted by his old teammate Campbell in front of the penalty area.
Although Henry's appearance made this game look even more complete, for Arsenal players, one thing they need to do now is to strive for goals, and they need to rescue themselves in desperate situations.
Arsenal is now in a strong morale. Arsenal has finally scored a goal after being suppressed for most of the game. Now they have found a way to restrain Barcelona. So although there is little time left for the game, Arsenal players are still very confident that they will open a different situation in the last time of the game.
Xiao Qing felt that he had found the key to open the victory gate. The current game was no longer embarrassing for Arsenal. The Gunners have found Barcelona's weakness. The current score is one-to-two, but Xiao Qing doesn't care; although Barcelona scored two goals, it really made Arsenal very passive. Although Arsenal has suffered consecutive injuries and is also very depressed, it doesn't matter, because Arsenal will not have no chance in this game.
Arsenal began a Jedi counterattack. Of course, while wanting to counterattack, the first thing Arsenal needs to do is to strengthen its defense. In the 79th minute of the game, Diaby lost the ball in the midfield and tackled Keita and received a yellow card. Arsenal is really desperate now and they can't concede the ball anymore.
When Henry conceded the ball in the frontcourt again, Arsenal quickly counterattacked; the players of Arsenal, who were originally to retract their defense, instantly seized the opportunity. Fabregas passed the ball on the wing in the midfield, and the little tiger Walcott continued to plan to make trouble on the wing this time.
Xiao Qing also quickly returned to the frontcourt. Xiao Qing, who steadily removed the ball, had a very good chance; Puyor's defense strength was really good. Although Xiao Qing tried all his best, Puyor, who was experienced, was still unmoved. Xiao Qing had no more chance at this time. Just as Xiao Qing was about to pass the ball, Xiao Qing suddenly felt someone behind him cut the ball from his feet.
Xiao Qing was tackled behind the back of Henry, who was returning to defense, and the ball was broken under his feet. This time, the Emirates Stadium fell into a tangle. There is no doubt that Xiao Qing is the favorite player of Arsenal fans, and they naturally cannot accept that Xiao Qing was brought down by his opponent. But now the one who knocked down Xiao Qing is Henry, Arsenal's eternal flag, which is really a torment for Arsenal fans. It can be said that such a scene is definitely what they least want to see.
Although Henry shoveled the ball first, it was naturally impossible to completely remain unaffected when facing such a slippery shovel; Xiao Qing did pounce on the turf in a somewhat embarrassed manner, and his calf also seemed a little painful because Henry shoveled it. Xiao Qing was depressed, and was tackled by Henry, which made him unable to get angry at all. This is his idol and the flag of Arsenal. Although everyone is the main one now, Xiao Qing really has no reason to get angry, not to mention that Henry's tackle still did not make a foul.
"It's okay?" Henry pulled Xiao Qing up, smiled and hugged Xiao Qing gently and asked.
"It feels pretty good, I should continue to score the goal." Xiao Qing also patted Henry on the back. This is not a demonstration, and there is no need for Xiao Qing to demonstrate. Xiao Qing is just explaining his confidence, of course, it is also because he was not injured.
Henry was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything. He is wearing Barcelona jersey now. Although he has a lot of feelings for Arsenal, there is no doubt that he has no reason or qualification to bless Xiao Qing at this time. Now he can only fight Arsenal with all his strength, and Xiao Qing is his enemy.
Xiao Qing smiled and patted Henry on the shoulder. He naturally understood Henry's current mood, so Xiao Qing didn't say much; Arsenal was still behind in the score, and there was not much time left in the game, so Arsenal needed more effort. Arsenal now really needs to equalize the score at the last moment of the game and control his own destiny.
Amid the applause at the Emirates Stadium, Xiao Qing patted her butt and ran back to the backcourt slowly to prepare to participate in the defense; Arsenal is still behind in the score, and Barcelona's offensive ability is still worthy of fear. So although Barcelona is a little relaxed now, Arsenal cannot slack off at this time.
Arsenal retreated its defense, and the last ten minutes were very important for Arsenal; although the Gunners are still one goal behind, just one goal can still give Arsenal some hope. Even in the second leg, such a score can give Arsenal some hope. Arsenal now not only needs goals, but what they need more is to avoid Barcelona continuing to score goals and expand the score.
All Arsenal defenders were ready to defend the last ten minutes. Barca obviously did not have much chance against Arsenal's iron barrel formation. This game was undoubtedly a depressing game for Messi, because he did have good opportunities in the game, but he still could not score. In this game, it was originally considered that the competition between Xiao Qing and Messi, the two hottest forwards, was the two hottest forwards. Although Barcelona is now leading in the score, Xiao Qing seems to have a more advantage in personal performance alone.
Messi made up his mind. Although Messi is a good baby, Messi is also a proud and arrogant person. He cannot accept that he is worse than Xiao Qing. Even if he cannot be the best player in this game, Messi cannot lose to Xiao Qing, who is regarded as his biggest competitor.
In the 82nd minute of the game, Messi flea flicked and moved in the penalty area; on a small range of dribbling, Messi was definitely qualified to be proud of all the heroes. However, at this time, he was surrounded by Arsenal's heavy troops. Although he was the number one player in the world, he was still ruthlessly double-teamed.
Messi was intercepted, and Arsenal once again launched their fatal quick counterattack. Xiao Qing, who participated in the double team, suddenly swept the ball towards the side. It was obvious that Arsenal was planning to use the side to break through to the end. They were completely planning to use Walcott's strong point to give Barcelona a final blow.
