Chapter 231 Wonderful arc!
Millwall fans also support Morris more because Morris has always been the core player of the team, and Simpson is just a rising newcomer, and his strength level is much worse than Morris.
Morris is good at skill and his footwork will not be bad either.
Last season, most of Millwall's set pieces were taken by Morris, so they were optimistic about Morris playing this ball.
As for Simpson?
Maybe it's just a cover!
———
Millwall fans think so, let alone Arsenal players.
Arsenal coach Wenger attaches great importance to the game. Millwall can't rely on luck to achieve good results. The media recognizes Millwall's players' performance. For most Premier League clubs, Millwall is a new opponent. This is the first time they have been promoted to the Premier League in history. Few teams know them. If you want to understand something, you have to study it yourself.
Before the game, Wenger watched two Millwall game videos and also had some understanding of Millwall's outstanding players.
Midfielder Jody Morris is the player that needs to be paid attention to the most.
Morris is Millwall's core organizational offensive, and his role in Millwall's team is equivalent to Vieira. Such a player doesn't score many goals, but he can drive the entire team's offensive to threaten the opponent's defense line.
Similarly, the core players have excellent technical strength.
Wenger emphasized to the players that he should pay more attention to Morris, and he did not emphasize anything else. Players such as Josh Simpson and Darren Bent also received praise from the media, but in the eyes of giant teams, they had nothing to do. At most, they caught up with the strength of Arsenal substitute players.
All Arsenal players remember Jody Morris' name.
Now seeing Josh Simpson and Morris stand together, there is no suspense for who will take the free kick. Instead, they definitely won the Millwald in this way, just like England's team in the world arena, with David Beckham and his teammates standing up for free.
Who will take the penalty?
There is no doubt that it will be David Beckham!
The opponent sent a young player who had no name, probably to confuse the situation.
However, there is definitely no 100% certainty. Wenger did not talk about Morris' ability to give a free kick, but a core player's footwork will not be bad at all, and it may pose a threat to the goal.
What if the young young man next to him takes the punishment in the future?
Arsenal players are reluctant to do this, and their goals will become extremely safe.
Wenger stood on the sidelines.
The first half was in the 44th minute, and the stoppage time was about to enter. The previous command strengthened the offensive, and the effect of stoppage time was obvious, but Mirwall must not score a goal, otherwise the situation would change.
Wenger seemed to attach great importance to this defense. He personally supervised the team to arrange the defense and also reminded him with a shout-
"Be careful to shoot directly! Don't give them a chance to head!"
"You have to go to the back point!"
"Look at that No. 18 (Konchesky)!"
“…”
Amid Wenger's shouts, Arsenal's backup defense was more cautious, and every Mivor player who stepped forward was closely guarded.
The referee signaled that it was time to make a free throw.
With the referee's gesture, everyone's eyes were aimed at the free throw point.
Morris stood there without moving.
Simpson took two steps back, glanced at the goal, took a deep breath, and then ran towards the football.
He rushed to the front of the ball and waved his right foot.
"The action is quite realistic!" The British BBC TV commentator shouted in surprise, and Simpson's action seemed to be about to shoot.
Arsenal captain Henry also reminded his teammates with a loud shout, "Don't be fooled by him! Calm down!"
He was worried that his teammates would jump first.
When defending a free kick, if the man wall is deceived, the party who is on the free throw can calmly kick the ball from the grass. The goalkeeper is not easy to make a judgment when he is close to the earth and the goalkeeper is blocked by the man wall.
With Henry's shouting, the Arsenal players were relieved.
After this moment, the media and fans' attention moved again to Morris, and he saw that Morris was still not moving and stood there without moving.
What's going on?
The next moment they realized, "It was that young player who made a free throw!"
When they turned their heads, Simpson's right foot had already had a frontal contact with the football-
A superb inner foot arc!
The football was rubbed from the spot and rushed into the sky in a rotating manner. The height of the football was only more than two meters. Generally speaking, it was likely to be blocked by a human wall, but the Arsenal human wall did not jump up as soon as possible.
Arsenal guessed wrong!
When the players of the Man Wall realized this and wanted to jump up, the only thing they could do was watch the football, go around from above their heads, and then quickly fell towards the goal.
Goalkeeper Leman is ready.
At this moment, you can see that Lehman's eyes were a little panicked. He thought that Jody Morris would take the penalty. Seeing Josh Simpson running over, he didn't care much.
After discovering that the judgment was wrong, the football had fallen.
Lehman was completely unprepared.
Originally, Lehman's vision was blocked by a wall, and the football rotated very quickly, and a high and surprising arc made him unable to make accurate judgments at all.
When the football started to fall, Lehman gritted his teeth and rushed to the side. He still made a accurate judgment, but if he didn't do anything, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
Lehman's approach illustrates a wealth of experience, but unfortunately God did not stand behind him.
The football turned a big arc in the air, more than one meter away from his hands, and it swung into the upper left corner of the goal.
———
"The ball...into it???"
"The ball is in!"
"The ball is in!!!"
Neal Stadium broadcast Mike Johnson, who shouted three consecutive 'balls in' before confirming that Millwall broke through the Arsenal goal. After that, he shouted excitedly, "gooooooooooooal!!!"
"Simpson broke through the Arsenal goal and helped Millwall rewrite the score! Simpson! Simpson!"
The fans on the scene also shouted, "Simpson! Simpson! Simpson!"
Many people, like Mike Johnson, failed to believe that football flew into the goal at the first time. Many people rubbed their eyes because the situation was different from what they imagined.
Simpson?
Free kick helped Mirwall score?
Millwall leads?
After waiting for a few seconds, they realized what was going on: Millwall's right forward, young player Josh Simpson, used a nearly comparable arc to Beckham, to send the ball directly into the Arsenal goal.
That was simply amazing!
"Sky Sports" commentator Keane Sindel finally shouted, "The ball has entered! It's Josh Simpson! We can notice that Arsenal's wall was wrong and they didn't jump up at the first time! Thanks to them! Their mistakes created such a classic arc!"
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!”
“1 to 0!”
"The young Simpson scored an extremely wonderful free kick, broke through the goal of Lehman's handle, and also helped Millwall lead the visiting Arsenal in the last time of the first half!"
Chapter completed!
