Chapter 261 A zero-angle goal helps Arsenal achieve ten years without a championship!
Wenger guessed right, Manchester City's counterattack came fast and hard!
In the 78th minute, Lin Quan cooperated with Nasri on the wing. After the defensive player was lost in two passes, Nasri dribbled the ball to the bottom.
It's a pity that his pass before the cross knock was a little bit close to the goalkeeper, and the ball was destroyed by the goalkeeper ahead of time.
Two minutes later, Manchester City made a comeback, Lin Quan's long-range shot from the front of the penalty area was narrowly missed by the goalkeeper, and Manchester City got a corner kick.
Lin Quan personally took the corner kick.
He ran to the corner kick area, glanced at the positions of the players and goalkeepers on both sides in the penalty area, and then gestured to his teammates to hit back.
Seeing Lin Quan's gesture, Manchester City's players rushed towards the back point one after another.
Arsenal's players saw the opponent pointing back, and they followed suit.
Unexpectedly, however, the ball turned out to be a tactical corner kick.
After Lin Quan saw the players from both sides swarming back, he immediately passed the ball to Xavi Garcia on the right side of the penalty area.
The latter sent a through ball forward and handed it over to Lin Quan who rushed from the corner.
Lin Quan received the ball and rushed into the penalty area. Arsenal goalkeeper Fabianski immediately chose to attack. He opened his arms and lowered his center of gravity, trying to block Lin Quan's shooting angle.
Since most players in the penalty area ran to the back point, the position near the right side of the penalty area was relatively empty. If he didn't attack, Lin Quan could calmly adjust and then shoot.
Fabianski's choice was very decisive. If he had been slower, Lin Quan would have finished the shot.
Because he just ran over from the corner area, Lin Quan's shooting angle was very small, but he blocked it so much that there was almost no angle.
Lin Quan didn't hit the goal by himself, but calmly passed it to his teammates.
It's a pity that Xavi Garcia's reaction was half a beat slow, and he didn't go forward at the first time. When he received the ball, the Arsenal defender had recovered and blocked his shooting angle.
Seeing that Xavi Garcia's shot hit the defender's leg and bounced off the baseline, Lin Quan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
If De Bruyne or David Silva were on the court, the ball would definitely be there.
On the sidelines, Pellegrini was also aware of this problem.
He quickly called De Bruyne who had finished warming up, whispered a few words in his ear, and quickly put him on the field.
Lin Quan held the ball and returned to the corner area again. Seeing that Manchester City was about to make a substitution, he didn't rush to make a free throw. He waited until De Bruyne came on the field before making tactical gestures to his teammates again.
The Manchester City players saw that they were still hitting the back point, so they ran towards the back point again.
Arsenal has already been fooled once, so it is naturally impossible to be fooled a second time.
So, except for Mertesacker staring at Lescott, the only high point in the Manchester City team, everyone else stood still.
However, just when they thought that Manchester City was lying to them again, Lin Quan really drove the ball to the back point.
Lescott took the lead and overwhelmed Mertesacker to take off.
Although he was seven centimeters shorter than Mertesacker, because he seized the opportunity, he hit the ball before Mertesacker!
With a loud bang, the football flew towards the goal.
Fabianski jumped up in a hurry, but it was too late, and he could only watch the football fly into his goal!
Manchester City quickly equalized the score in the 83rd minute!
After scoring the goal, Lescott ran to the sidelines excitedly, raised his arms vigorously, and asked for applause and cheers from the Manchester City fans who came to watch the game.
Manchester City fans are all excited!
Originally, Arsenal's goal in the 76th minute made them feel the danger of death, and they couldn't help worrying about whether the team could advance to the final.
As a result, I didn't expect the team to equalize the score so quickly!
"Well, it looks like you can solve the battle without me playing!"
De Bruyne had just come on and before he had even had time to complete a touch, the team equalized, which made him feel lighter all of a sudden.
I originally planned to come up to be the savior of the world, but it seems that I am being passionate!
"Isn't this just an equalizer? You need to score another goal to win the game!"
Lin Quan glanced at Arsenal's goal, obviously not very satisfied with the score of 1:1.
"Hehe, have you thought of any ideas?"
De Bruyne knows Lin Quan very well, and when he heard what the other party said, he probably knew what idea he had in mind.
"Well, I'm going to do this..."
Hearing Lin Quan's plan, De Bruyne wondered: "Does it really work?"
"Try it and you'll know, of course, you have to cover me!"
"Okay, I'll cooperate with you!"
De Bruyne is not sure whether Lin Quan's method will work, but he still chooses to believe Lin Quan.
Manchester City's players know that time is precious, and they don't want to be dragged into extra time or even a penalty shootout by Arsenal.
Therefore, they quickly ended the celebration, returned to the stadium and prepared to continue to strengthen their offense, to see if they could get rid of Arsenal before the final whistle sounded.
Manchester City's goal was a big blow to Arsenal's morale, and the players began to doubt themselves one by one.
Obviously we have already played the back five, why can't we still prevent the opponent's attack?
We fought hard for most of the half and managed to score a goal.
The opponent hit a corner kick casually and equalized the score. How can this be played?
On the coaching bench, Wenger was also depressed.
Could it be that it is Wenger's destiny not to have a crown?
No, there is still a chance!
If it is dragged on and dragged into overtime, the opponent's physical problems will be further exposed.
At that time, Arsenal still have a chance!
Thinking of this, Wenger immediately issued an order to the players on the field, asking them to continue to implement defensive tactics and keep the 1:1 score until the end of the game!
I have to say that this tactic is a bit conservative.
At this time, if Arsenal go all out and fight against Manchester City, it is not certain who will win.
After all, Manchester City's midfielder lacks physical fitness. If the opponent rushes out to compete with them for control of the midfield, they may not be able to hold it.
However, at the critical moment, Arsenal faltered!
They took the initiative to retreat and gave up control of the midfield, allowing Manchester City to calmly control the initiative of the game and instigate attacks from the midfield again and again.
Seeing that Arsenal would continue to defend, Pellegrini couldn't help but shook his head.
To be honest, he didn't quite approve of Wenger's substitution adjustment.
If you didn't change the defender just now, if you changed to a sweeping midfielder, then Manchester City might really be carried away.
But after taking a look at Arsenal's bench, he understood Wenger a bit.
It may not be that Wenger didn't expect it, but there is really no one available.
Ozil, Eisfeld, and Karlstrom, these three midfielders can't do the dirty work, and replacing them on the field may only have the opposite effect.
With De Bruyne playing, Manchester City's offense has become more threatening.
De Bruyne's highly creative pass is simply impossible for Arsenal to guard against.
The most important thing is that Lin Quan can form a tacit understanding with De Bruyne every time. The two can always think of going together. Wherever people run, the ball will be passed!
Arsenal's defensive players are always one step slower and are always at a disadvantage when defending.
In order to stop Manchester City's attack, they had to resort to foul tactics.
In the 84th minute, Monreal pulled Lin Quan and got a yellow card.
Two minutes later, Arteta kicked De Bruyne and also received a yellow card.
In the 89th minute, Sagna also received a yellow card in defense.
The time of the game passed little by little, and the Arsenal people defended Manchester City's attacks round after round in an extremely tragic way.
With their tenacious persistence, the last second of regular time finally passed, and the game entered the stoppage time stage.
The referee gave 3 minutes of stoppage time. As long as Arsenal can persist for the last 3 minutes, the game will enter overtime.
At that time, maybe the coach can make magical substitution adjustments and lead the team to victory!
The players held on to such a belief in their hearts and persisted tenaciously.
However, City do not intend to give them the chance to delay further.
In the 91st minute, De Bruyne sent a precise through pass that penetrated Arsenal's defense. After Lin Quan reversed his position to get rid of the defender, he received a pass from De Bruyne on the right side of the penalty area.
De Bruyne passed the ball very well, and Lin Quan's shot was also of high quality.
However, with the help of God, Fabianski made a god-level save, and almost saved Lin Quan's high-quality shot.
After finishing the save, Fabianski excitedly stood up and yelled at Lin Quan.
However, Lin Quan was not angry, but gave him a thumbs up.
The opponent really threw the ball well, and Lin Quan was also convinced.
It's just that this kind of god-level save should be just a flash of Fabianski's inspiration, and it is difficult to replicate it again!
Give me ten chances, I'm sure I can make ten shots like this, can you make ten such god-level saves?
Fabianski didn't expect the other party to have such a good temper, he was taken aback for a moment, and then gave Lin Quan a thumbs up, praising him for playing well.
His own demonstration did not anger the other party, but was praised by the other party, which made him feel a little bit self-blame, and felt like a villain who was a little carried away.
Arsenal's players couldn't care less, they rushed up one by one, hugged Fabianski, and thanked him for his wonderful save.
If Fabianski hadn't made a contribution to this goal, Arsenal must have been killed!
"Cheer up, there is only one minute left in the game, so let me grit my teeth and persevere!"
Captain Arteta panted heavily, clapped his hands vigorously, and encouraged his teammates loudly.
Lin Quan came to the corner again with the football in his arms!
The Arsenal players couldn't help but feel a little nervous when they saw Lin Quan walking to the corner.
This is the third corner kick he has taken in this game. The first two corner kicks have posed a threat. I wonder what tactics he will use this time?
Lin Quan was the same as before. He glanced at the positions of the players on both sides in front of the goal, and then at Fabianski's position. Then he took a few steps back and made the same gesture as the first and second time. .
Again?
The Arsenal players have already recognized this gesture, after all, the opponent hasn't changed their tricks three times in a row!
It's just that they couldn't believe it after recognizing this gesture!
Who knows if this guy is really a post-penalty point?
They noticed that Manchester City's midfielder De Bruyne was standing in the position where Xavi Garcia passed the ball before.
If he still plays a tactical corner kick like the first time, wouldn't the Arsenal players be fooled by rushing to the back point?
Thinking of this, Arsenal's players assigned some people to stare at Manchester City's defender Lescott, not giving him the chance to continue his header.
Another group of people stepped forward to interfere and mark De Bruyne, not giving him a chance to pass and receive the ball.
Arsenal's players have basically blocked Lin Quan's possible choices to death. In this way, the opponent will no longer be able to play any tricks, right?
However, it turns out that they are still too simple!
Lin Quan made a gesture, and the Manchester City players still charged back. Even though they were not sure whether Lin Quan would throw the ball back, what if?
The actions of the Manchester City players still interfered with Arsenal's defensive players. The opponents were rushing back. If they didn't follow, then the back point would be empty!
So, their formation subconsciously moved back a bit.
However, Lin Quan neither passed to the back point nor went to De Bruyne.
His choice is - attack the goal directly!
This choice exceeded the expectations of almost everyone on the court, except De Bruyne!
The corner kick is on the same line as the goal line, and in the corner the players can't even see the goal.
To score the ball in such a zero-angle situation, one must play an exaggerated arc.
To do this, it is extremely difficult!
Therefore, it is not that no one has tried to shoot directly from a corner kick, but there are very few who can accomplish this feat!
This is why the Arsenal players were taken aback by Lin Quan's choice. They really didn't expect the opponent to make such a choice!
Arsenal's goalkeeper Fabianski saw the football draw a beautiful arc in the air and flew towards the goal, and his face suddenly changed.
He was standing a little closer to the near corner, while the opponent was hitting the far corner.
Fabianski hurriedly moved towards the left side of the goal, but he only moved at this time, and it was too late!
With a crisp sound, the football flew into the net.
Fabianski is 2 meters away from where the football hits the net, beyond reach!
Wembley Stadium fell into a brief silence, and after a while, enthusiastic cheers erupted from the stands on the side of the Manchester City fans!
They actually beat Arsenal at the last moment, reversed and eliminated their opponents!
The Arsenal fans were full of disappointment:
It was reversed again!
Falling before the championship trophy again?
Could it be that Arsenal is really cursed and can't really win the championship?
Missing the chance to win the FA Cup, Arsenal really achieved the achievement of ten years without a championship.
After winning the championship in 03-04, for ten years, there was no more champion!
The achievement of ten years without a crown was achieved by Arsenal today.
However, none of the Gunners fans were happy with the record.
Instead, they feel nothing but deep sadness.
