Chapter 191
The game was a success, but the opponent was still alive.
The well-informed Zhang Lu saw Emery's adjustment and couldn't help saying, "Replace a striker and remove a midfielder. It seems that Emery wants to attack!"
After pausing for a few seconds, Zhang Lu suddenly said, "But... Arsenal is one man short now. If we attack rashly, it may be inappropriate!"
After the restart.
Arsenal's players launched the attack immediately.
As Ceballos was replaced and the full-back Kolasinac was sent off with a red card, Arsenal's current formation changed from 4231 to 342!
Emery did not allow any full-back to play, so that Arsenal's defense line only had Maitland-Niles, Papastathopoulos and David Luiz.
Obviously, Emery wanted to play three defenders!
After Aubameyang passed the ball to Lacazette who had just come on the field, he immediately moved forward, but Lacazette did not pass the ball to Aubameyang again, but passed it to Saka on the wing.
As a striker, Lacazette's passing skills are not particularly superb.
Moreover, Lacazette's technical style is actually somewhat similar to Aubameyang. Both players have certain breakthrough ability and explosive power!
In counterattacks, this type of player can often show 100% level, but now it is not a counterattack, but a positional battle.
Saka returned to the left again.
When he received the ball, many midfielders of Aston Villa rushed to him in unison.
It can be said that from the beginning of the game to now, the Arsenal player who can most threaten Villa's defense is Saka, who is only 18 years old.
Dean Smith naturally interfered with Saka in a targeted manner!
In a blink of an eye.
Three Aston Villa defenders rushed to Saka.
These three players are Nakamba, McGinn and full-back Gilbey!
After seeing this scene, Saka did not pass the ball, but stepped with his left foot! This young player has a kind of momentum of a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger!
But unfortunately, under the siege of these three Aston Villa players, Saka did not have any breakthrough route.
As a result, the ball was intercepted by Xia Yuan.
You know, Arsenal is now one man short. Once the ball is lost, Aston Villa is likely to get a counterattack opportunity.
Bang! !
The next second after Xia Yuan intercepted the ball, he immediately kicked the ball to the front court with his right foot!
Two seconds later, the ball went straight to the top of the penalty area.
At this moment, Aston Villa striker Wesley was already fighting with the opponent's central defender Papastathopoulos!
In the end, the tall Wesley grabbed the first point.
The Brazilian striker did not choose to turn around and shoot, but passed the ball back to El Ghazi on the right!
The latter made a cross!
The ball flew to the back point!
Grealish was already in place, but unfortunately, Arsenal's central defender David Luiz headed the ball first.
The ball was headed out of the baseline by David Luiz.
Corner kick!
Aston Villa got another corner kick opportunity.
At the same time, the sky above London City suddenly became cloudy, as if a storm was about to come.
In the corner flag area.
Grealish still took the corner kick.
In the game tonight, Grealish's performance was quite eye-catching. Not only did he cause the red card of Arsenal's full-back Kolasinac, but he also had an assist.
In the penalty area.
There were two Arsenal players around Xia Yuan to defend.
They were David Luiz and Papastathopoulos!
Both Arsenal central defenders came to Xia Yuan to defend, which was enough to show how much Arsenal feared Xia Yuan's header.
Bang! !
Three seconds later, Grealish passed the ball into the penalty area.
However, this time Grealish did not pass the ball to Xia Yuan, but to Wesley at the front point!
"Wesley!!"
"Head shot!"
"Goal!"
"3-2!! Aston Villa completes the comeback!"
"The pressure of the game is on the Arsenal players!"
Zhan Jun continued excitedly: "In this corner defense, the two tall central defenders were used to mark Xia Yuan, while Aston Villa striker Wesley was only disturbed by Guendouzi. Although this goal
It has nothing to do with Xia Yuan, but as a wingman, he successfully helped Wesley attract defensive firepower! "
Wesley was very excited after scoring the goal. He directly flipped over the billboard and rushed to the away fans' stand as soon as possible to celebrate wildly with Aston Villa fans.
As Zhan Jun said, the pressure of this game came to the Arsenal players.
After the restart.
Arsenal coach Emery has run out of tricks. He originally wanted to continue to strengthen the team's offense through substitutions, but there was no one available on the bench.
So, coach Emery could only put all his hopes on the 10 players on the field!
When the kick-off came, the game time had reached the 76th minute.
There were only 14 minutes left before the end of the game. If Arsenal If the players still want to win, they need to score two goals as much as possible in these fourteen minutes!
If Arsenal had not been short of players, there might still be a chance.
80th minute.
It suddenly rained heavily over the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal is not good at rain games.
Because after the rain, the football field will become quite slippery, which will affect the speed and accuracy of Arsenal players' passes.
As expected, in the last three minutes, Arsenal players made consecutive passing errors.
For Arsenal, their situation can really be described as a house leaking and raining all night.
Now all Aston Villa's frontcourt players have retreated to the half-court defense, Dean. Coach Smith used his best iron bucket formation again.
This undoubtedly made Arsenal's attack more difficult.
But now, Arsenal has no way out.
Losing one goal is a loss, losing two goals is also a loss.
They must attack!
86th minute.
The ball came to Nicola Pepe's feet on the right side. It is undeniable that in tonight's game, Nicola Pepe's breakthrough on the side posed a huge threat to Aston Villa's defense.
Even Villa's full-back Neil Taylor was very panicked when he saw Nicola Pepe receiving the ball.
This time.
When Nicola Pepe was about to use the rhythm change to break through Neil Taylor's defense, Xia Yuan and McGinn, two midfielders, took the lead in double-teaming and forcibly stole the ball from Nicola Pepe's feet.
