Chapter 62 The summer sword is unsheathed and the mountains roar and the tsunami rises
Amidst the boos from Arsenal fans,
Cazorla stepped forward to intercept Jones. In a purely physical confrontation between the two, Cazorla fell behind and was pushed out of the sideline by Jones.
Jones continued to advance at a high speed, and at the same time, Schalke 04's back line moved forward collectively, preparing to complete the victory.
Santos approached Jones to defend, but the moment he pounced on Jones, Jones deflected the football into the Arsenal penalty area.
Draxler picked up the ball on the right side of the penalty area without stopping.
The football drew a rainbow over Vermaelen's head.
"Later point!"
In Zhan Jun's exclamation, a blue lightning rushed in from the outside. He jumped high and dunked the football towards the goal!
"Huntelaar!"
"Header!"
Mannone was well prepared in front of the goal and hit the football with lightning speed with both fists.
"Manone!"
"God-level save!"
"It's unbelievable to be able to save the football from such a close range."
The little darlings of Arsenal fans were also frightened.
Haha, escaped!
It’s a bit early to laugh!
The crisis has not been completely resolved.
The football flew to the center, and there was another blue lightning faster than the red lightning!
"Holtby!"
"Danger!"
I saw Holtby, braking suddenly at high speed, blocking Mertesacker sideways, and volleyed with his legs.
The football roars away!
Mannone was in the near corner and the football rushed to the far corner. Mannone was unable to make a second save.
Despair surged into the hearts of everyone at Arsenal!
It turns out that Schalke 04 is not as weak as I thought!
"Boom!"
There was a sound of iron striking!
It was undoubtedly a joy for Arsenal fans. The football hit the crossbar and popped out of the bottom line.
"Schalke 04 is indeed a veteran team. This wave of offense is smooth and well-organized."
"There is a fulcrum, a main attack, and a grabbing point. If it were not for Huntelaar and Holtby, the two of them would be a little less lucky, and now they have equalized the score."
"Although Arsenal has the advantage, they cannot take it lightly. Cazorla's defense is a bit weak. After he was penetrated, Arsenal didn't have much to do."
Wenger stood on the sidelines with a gloomy face, gesturing to ask Arteta and Wilshere to move back a little.
With a one-goal lead, the opponent should be anxious, so why did he end up worrying about himself?
Once the game restarted, it became interesting.
The two sides seemed to have just started competing, testing each other and not daring to take the lead.
Arsenal fans, who have learned a lesson from the experience, did not boo their players this time.
Often this kind of bloodless scramble can better reflect the team's tactical quality.
Time passes bit by bit,
Wilshere broke through the middle and was grabbed by Huntelaar and Holtby.
The football was passed to Farfan by Holtby's inverted triangle. After Farfan changed hands, the football was passed to Huntelaar.
Schalke 04 starts to counterattack!
Huntelaar caught the football and rolled it between Cazorla's legs.
Crotch-wearing is awesome!
Santos intercepts head-on.
Huntelaar scored the ball, Draxler kicked the ball from the front of the penalty area, and the football missed the goal post.
Although Schalke 04's two waves of attacks did not score a goal, they destroyed the arrogance of Arsenal fans. The fans in the stands no longer dared to command the team.
Mannone took a goal kick, and the football was passed to Xia Qi's feet in three passes.
According to the pre-match tactical arrangement, Xia Qi is Schalke 04's key defensive target.
Now it is even more important.
The football came to his feet and he was immediately double-teamed.
Xia Qi did not fight with them and sent the football out before encircling them.
Wilshere caught the ball and passed it to Podolski, who moved the ball forward, stepped on Hot Wheels, and rushed towards the baseline.
Fuchs followed him closely.
In the middle, Xia Qi and Arteta moved forward quickly.
When he reached the line parallel to the penalty area, Podolski wanted to cut inside.
Of course Fuchs refused and moved to intercept, but the inward cut was Podolski's trick.
He dunked the football at high speed and Fuchs overran.
Podolski calmly raised his head and observed the middle.
See in that position,
Xia Qi stood in the penalty area with two defenders on his back, fighting for advantageous positions.
Arteta was three meters behind Xia Qi, just on the line of the penalty area, with no defense around him.
Podolsky hesitated no longer;
Immediately hit the front of the football with the inside of your foot.
There was a muffled sound.
The football spun violently, flying over the head of Fuchs, who was fighting back, and flew towards Arteta.
Matip predicted that the pass was going to Arteta, and he immediately gave up his defense and saved Xia Qi from inside.
Arteta stuck his position, raised his leg and sent the football forward.
The football changed direction and flew towards Xia Qi.
Xia Qi hasn't caught the ball yet.
The audience burst into enthusiastic cheers, as if Xia Qihui would score a goal 100% in the next second.
Strictly speaking, Matip's choice is extremely correct!
The unguarded Arteta was indeed more dangerous than Xia Qi at that time.
And after he leaves, his teammate Papadopoulos will block Xia Qi and will not let Xia Qi turn around.
One meter before the penalty spot, it is difficult to shoot without turning.
Even an overhead shot requires the body to jump up before it can be completed.
Papadopoulos pressed his elbow on Xia Qi's waist, and used his shoulders and head to hold Xia Qi's back.
Xia Qi seemed to have no other choice but to distribute the ball.
but,
Xia Qi is not an ordinary person!
He raised his right leg, and when the football came over, he tapped his heel back hard.
Heel shot!
Heel shots often appear in human shooting, but they are usually in small penalty areas.
First, this kind of shot is generally not very powerful. Second, the small penalty area is close to the goal, and there are few variables on the way.
Like Xia Qi, there are almost no people who shoot with their heels one meter in front of the penalty spot.
Only AI can calculate the goal route, humans are called blind!
The football rolled quickly past Xia Qi and Papadopoulos against the lawn.
Hevedes, who came to cover for Papadopoulos, saw the football rolling towards the goal in front of him and subconsciously stretched his legs forward to intercept it.
However, in a hurry, his head was faster than his legs and he fell down.
Hewedes could only turn his head and shout to the goalkeeper: "Be careful!"
Affected by his sight, Schalke 04 goalkeeper Unestal waited until the football penetrated Papadopoulos before he found the shot.
What he discovered was actually a little earlier than Hewedes.
Quick side dive, but the football shot from the heel is as fast as a normal shot. Unestahl's side dive is still a bit slow.
The football had already rushed into the net before he reached it with his fingers.
The cheers at the Emirates Stadium roared!
Zhan Jun exclaimed in the Penguin live broadcast room:
"Oh my god! Did Xia Qi cheat? Why can he see the back of his head?"
"In the 21st minute of the game, the sword was unsheathed and the mountain roared! Arsenal led 2:0."
"It was a very good back-heel shot."
The stands at the Emirates Stadium were buzzing with fans talking:
"Xia Qi's feet have been kissed by an angel, right? Can a blind kick be one of the top five goals in this round?"
"How could it be that you are blind?"
"You have eyes in the back of your head?"
(▽`)(⌒▽⌒)
"Okay, you win, but I always feel that Xia Qi is very confident when he shoots."
"That's what a good shooter has to do."
"Xia Qi! Beat them up!"
"Xia Qi! I clocked out at halftime and I have a date with my girl."
