Chapter 406: Desperate Crystal Palace
In the fifth minute, Monreal jumped in to attract the attention of the defensive players and sent the ball to Sanchez's feet. The latter took the ball and sent a through ball, Giroud rushed into the penalty area.
This time, Giroud can shoot on his own, but Giroud seems to have not found the state yet, his shot actually sent the ball directly into McCarthy's arms.
But soon Arsenal came to the Crystal Palace penalty area again, and Sanchez took the ball, but the previous two were good, this time Sanchez chose to come by himself.
After receiving the pass, Sanchez deceived the defensive player into the penalty area with a fake move, then kicked and shot, and the ball hit the side net.
Sanchez still hasn't gotten rid of the problem that he likes to play near corners. Of course, it is not a problem if the near corners are entered, but in fact most of Sanchez's near corners are on the side nets.
After three consecutive waves of offensives, Crystal Palace finally sounded the horn of counterattack. Zaha crossed the Kabaye after breaking through the wing, and the Frenchman shot a long shot in front of him.
It is just so coincidental that the first round of the league against West Ham met Payette, a midfielder who had played for Marseille, and now he met Cabaye, who played for Paris Saint-Germain in the second round.
Moreover, the two men have many similarities, such as having a very good free kick and long-range shot, both of which can serve as the core of the team's midfield.
Of course, there must be similarities and differences. For example, Payette has better skills at his feet and has a stronger ability to attack the ball, while Kabaye has a certain defensive ability and is better at controlling the team's offensive and defensive rhythm.
Since the beginning of the game, the game played similar to the previous round of flying. Arsenal took the initiative to attack and have an advantage. Crystal Palace is not without the ability to fight back.
But in fact, this game is very different from the previous one. The game came to the fifteenth minute, Cazorla sent a through pass from the left, and Griezmann immediately sent the ball into the penalty area after passing the ball from outside the penalty area.
Giroud carried Crystal Palace center defender Ward to control Griezmann's pass and then made a push. Although McCarthy made the ball, he did not touch the ball.
"No~~~ it's the goal post again, is the situation of the last game going to repeat itself" McCarthy did not touch the ball, but the ball did not fly to the goal immediately, but hit the goal post again.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL~~~The ball scored~~~The Arsenal did not continue the bad luck of the previous game. Today's Goddess of Luck chose to stand on the side of the Arsenal. Although they all hit the goalposts, the result was completely the opposite. The ball hit the goal. The post bounced into the Crystal Palace goal.
"1:0~~~ Arsenal scored the first goal of the game. This is also Giroud's first league goal of the season." The goal in 15 minutes is all.
After scoring, Arsenal's morale was very strong, quite invincible, and meant to completely seal the victory. After the game restarted, Crystal Palace was intercepted by Coquelin just after the ball crossed the half court, and Arsenal turned to attack.
After stealing the ball, the ball came to Ramsey's feet, but it soon passed to Sanchez's feet, and this time Sanchez once again rushed into the Crystal Palace penalty area with the ball and completed a shot.
It's a pity that Giroud and Griezmann are slower. Although Sanchez's shot was saved by the goalkeeper, the goalkeeper did not directly control the ball.
In other words, McCarthy had let go, Griezmann was very conscious and rushed into the penalty area for the first time, but he still slowed down Crystal Palace center defender Ward a step, and the ball was cleared by him.
Then the corner kick Koscielny reached the ball. The two Crystal Palace center-backs were both 188 in height, while Koscielny was only 186. As a result, the four center-backs competed for the shortest height Koscielny to top the ball.
Arsenal pressed Crystal Palace for nearly ten minutes, but these ten minutes did not help Arsenal expand their lead. On the contrary, after Arsenal's strength was unable to expand their advantage, Crystal Palace almost equalized the score.
In the 27th minute, the Crystal Palace broke the ball under Ramsey's foot in the backcourt, and then immediately launched a counterattack. MacArthur passed Wickham long, who forced Mertesacker's header to ferry.
Kabaye inserted at high speed, chased the ball and rushed to the Arsenal penalty area line. At this time, it was too late for Koscielny to block. Kabaye, who was unguarded on the penalty area line, took a long shot.
"Beautiful~~~Dead corner~~~Absolute dead corner" Kabaye used to be famous for his long shots in England, and the ball went straight to the lower left corner of the goal.
"Li~~~Li~~~Li, the arsenal goalkeeper came out again." At the moment when the ball was about to cross the goal line and drill into the goal, Li Shou's hand did not accidentally block the ball that was about to fly into the goal. .
"Sure enough~~~ Li’s goal is safe no matter what kind of shot he faces." Kabaye’s shot was replaced by any other goalkeeper with a 90% chance of scoring, but he met Li. Keep this perversion that cannot be judged by common sense.
On the sidelines, the Crystal Palace coach Padu, who had been preparing to celebrate, returned to his position cursingly, while Wenger sat calmly on the other side.
Since Li Shou, Arsenal’s goal has been extremely strong, and after last season, Li Shou has not been surprised what kind of saves Li Shou made to save Wenger, because he has become accustomed to it, waiting for Li Shouzhen to lose the ball that day. Will be surprised.
Then he said silently, "This guy finally lost the ball."
To be honest, Wenger like Li Yimo is also under great pressure not to lose the ball. He is deeply afraid that this is just a dream. After all, Li Shou's performance is too incredible, he does not look like a normal person at all, and it refreshes the world. Football's perception of the goalkeeper. UU reading www. uukanshu. cm
Although Kabaye's near-indispensable long shot was resolved, Crystal Palace's attack was not over yet, and the subsequent corner kick threatened Arsenal's goal again.
Li Shou wanted to attack, and there were too many people competing for the ball. Li Shou could only give up the idea of attacking. Crystal Palace defender Dann reached the ball, and this time he ran to the blind spot.
This is almost another goal, but the result is still the same. At the moment when the ball is about to fly into the goal, the hand that made the Crystal Palace people desperate appears again.
Two consecutive excellent shots saved by Li Shou is definitely a huge blow to Crystal Palace. After all, the strength of Crystal Palace cannot be compared with Arsenal. I don't know when to wait for the next such excellent shot.
One after another, Arsenal once again mastered the advantage, and did not waste the opportunity. In the thirty-first minute, Cazorla passed Griezmann straight, the latter made a two-and-one with Giroud and rushed into the penalty area to complete one. Low shot.
"2:0~~~ Griezmann shot straight to the bottom left corner of the goal" McCarthy is not Li Shou, this goalkeeper from the Queens Park Rangers is just a substitute goalkeeper, the main goalkeeper Hensini injured him Only have a chance to start.
