Chapter 61 The Christmas War (2) The Mistake of Underestimating the Enemy

In the end, facing an opponent like Portsmouth, Arsenal did not show mercy at home. With Henry scoring twice, Bergkamp, ​​Pires, Frey, and Van Persie each scoring a goal, Arsenal beat their opponents 6-[-] at home, achieved three consecutive league victories, and continued to maintain the pressure on Chelsea.

o5 years are about to pass, and Arsenal has won consecutive victories on all fronts. The outside world has begun to copy Arsenal. It is likely that there will be a big harvest this year. After losing Vieira, Arsenal has begun to enter a new era supported by newcomers. Arsenal's training base is full of relaxed atmosphere.

"Li, how many championships do you think we will win this year?" Fabregas took advantage of the training break and quickly came to find Li Yuxin.

"Hehe, there are still five months to go, who knows, but Cesc, we will definitely gain something this season, don't worry." Li Yuxin looked at Fabregas' expression full of hope, and his heart had already made up his mind.

"It goes without saying that many newspapers are now optimistic about our team. Even the Sun is predicting that we are likely to win the League Cup, FA Cup, League, and Champions League titles. Tsk tsk, this year I must Take them all." Van Persie said even more arrogantly.

"That's right, Robin, I can officially join the team at that time, haha." Song said expectantly.He is still on loan now, but Thompson has sent people to start negotiations with Arsenal, hoping to sign Song, who is also a player under Thompson at this time.

"Hehe, come on, Chelsea and Barcelona are equally good this year, as well as Manchester United's other opponents, we can't be careless." Bergkamp on the side is not blindly optimistic.

"Well, there are still a lot of competitions, we can't be careless, and we can't underestimate the enemy until the end." Lehman also nodded solemnly.

Of the two of them, Bergkamp has the most experience in winning the English championship in the team, while Lehmann has the most playing experience. The two know that Arsenal is not yet at an easy moment, and they are even 4 points behind Chelsea in the league. It is too early to say anything.

But despite what they said, many of the Arsenal team are still rookies or have just entered the English game, so I don't know how effective their words will be.

Soon, Arsenal went to Villa Park Stadium to challenge Aston Villa away, which was Arsenal's last league opponent in 5.

"Hi, fans, welcome to Villa Park Stadium. This is our team's last home stadium in 5. We face the challenge from the super strong team Arsenal from London, but our players will defend our home court. Now, let's enter the game together!!" With the screaming of Aston Villa's on-site commentator, Aston Villa's match against Arsenal in the oth round officially began.

Arsenal's formation is 44, the list: Lehmann; Toure, Nishioka, Lauren, Campbell; Hleb, Li Yuxin, Flamini, Fabregas; Van Persie, Henry.

And Aston Villa also belongs to the 44 formation, list: Sorensen; Barry, Delany, Hughes, Rickiwell; Davis, McCann, Milner, Buck; Baros, Moore.It seems that Aston Villa's coach O'Reilly does not intend to stick to it.

Sure enough, after the start of the game, Aston Villa really played the banner of attack. In the cheers of the home fans, they did not stick to it at the beginning, but launched a fierce attack on Arsenal, using Baros and Muldo many times to create threats.

This style of play is particularly beneficial to Arsenal. From the beginning of the game, Arsenal used the opportunity of the opponent's attack to counterattack many times.

The frontcourt trio of Li Yuxin, Henry, and Van Persie kept ringing in front of Aston Villa's goal.

After overcoming the opponent's forced attack, Arsenal quickly launched their own attack, and for a while there was panic in front of Aston Villa.

In the game NO.17 minutes, Lauren opened his foot and sent the ball to the frontcourt. Li Yuxin first grabbed the ball on the right, unloading the ball, then turned around, squeezed the opponent, faced with the blockage of Rikiville, a left foot dangled to the left, and the back of the opponent's center of gravity moved. In the between, the right was turned right, and the body started instantly, and Xun broke through from Rikiville and Davis.

After Li Yuxin broke through Aston Villa's defense line, he quickly rushed towards the penalty area. When he saw Hughes approaching, Li Yuxin did not bother, and directly sent a straight shot to his back. Van Persie had already quickly ran there, and Li Yuxin also directly inserted without stopping.

Van Persie got the ball on the right side of the penalty area. He didn't stop the ball and take it again. Instead, at the moment Li Yuxin inserted it, he sent it quickly and knocked back to the road.

At this time, Aston Villa's defense loosened at the moment when the two quickly fell the ball. Delany and Hughes subconsciously came to defend when Van Persie passed the ball, but it was a pity that one person was missed.

And Li Yuxin made a clever thrust at the moment Delany turned around. Van Persie lightly unloaded the ball behind him and followed up with a goal.

'g~~, oh fuck, the damn post denied Robin's goal. Seeing the ball pass the opponent's goalkeeper, Senke was ready to celebrate, but soon heard a "bang", the ball hit the far post and flew out, and said a little angrily, Arsenal's luck today is a little bit worse.

Wenger frowned when he saw the ball. Arsenal had a lot of opportunities after the start, but they were all wasted one by one. Obviously Wenger was not satisfied with his team's performance.

In the first half of the attack, Arsenal was like the epitome of the ball. They took the last step. They couldn't attack for a long time. The Arsenal players were not willing to give up. In the final 15 minutes, Arsenal launched a wave of offensives, but Aston Villa became more confident as they defended.

In the 307th minute of the game, after Li Yuxin got the ball, he first dexterously jumped out of Milner's flying tackle, and then passed the opponent's left back with great speed, and made a direct pass.

Henry Road received a pass from Li Yuxin from the side, followed by a through ball, and helped Hleb form a single shot. However, Hleb's shot was blocked by the magical Sorensen with his foot, and missed the best opportunity to score.

Arsenal couldn't grasp the opportunity offensively, and made another mistake in defense. In the 403rd minute of the game, Aston Villa used the same move. Barker broke through Arsenal's left defense line and sent it to the penalty area. Barrow Even at 4 yards from the goal, following up is a direct volley.

"gooooooo~~~~~~~~~~~L, Baros, Baros broke the Arsenal goal, one to zero, one to zero, it's wonderful, we are ahead of Arsenal!!!!"

"Beautiful Baros." "Kill Arsenal" "We are ahead"~~~~ As the ball went into the goal, the Aston Villa fans cheered in surprise and were suppressed by the opponent for half the time. They never thought that they would score the lead at the last moment. How could this not excite them.

After scoring a goal, Arsenal's offense became even crazier, but there was not much time in the first half. With the referee's whistle, Arsenal had to enter the locker room with a zero-to-one situation in the away game.

"What are you doing, what about your shots? This game is our last game of the year, I don't want to see you careless, in the back line, we can't give the ball to the opponent easily, in the second half I hope you You can seize the opportunity, understand?"

Wenger said to his team members with a livid face, since 5 is about to pass, Wenger doesn't want his team to suffer any accidents.

"Understood"~~~~~?
"Lee, Puff, keep your breakthrough in the second half, Cesc, you have to keep up with the offense in time, Robin, Thierry, I hope you can find the feeling of shooting, in a word, our team needs a victory to end the 5 year!!" Wenger swept each of his players with a serious face.

This is the first time for Arsenal's players to see Wenger's fire, and they nodded solemnly.

"You guys did a good job in the first half. In the second half, don't give them too many opportunities near the penalty area. Try to control the ball to the field. For Lee and Thierry, keep two people by their side at all times, understand!" O'Reilly had a smile on his face. He scored a goal at the last moment of the first half, which made him look forward to it, and hoped that he would have a wonderful ending in 5.

Soon the 15-minute break passed, the players on both sides switched places, and the game resumed soon.

Arsenal entered the second half, still continuing their offense, the ball quickly passed back to several Arsenal players.

However, after Aston Villa's formation in the first half and the lead by one goal, they were obviously more experienced in defending. Hleb's several breakthrough passes were all destroyed by Aston Villa's defenders, and Li Yuxin's shifts and pulls in the same way often had many Villa players gathered around him, which could not form effective cooperation with others.

Seeing some changes on the field, Wenger frowned even tighter. The time was slowly delayed and he couldn't start the game. In this way, Villa became more confident as he played, while his players were likely to become more impatient.

"Lee! Lee hit the goal!! Oh, unfortunately, I didn't hold it down." Senke's voice was excited again in the No. 606 minute of the game, but he soon lost his breath.

Li Yuxin cooperated with Cesc Fabregas on the road and hit the goal directly 5 meters in front of the penalty area. However, the moment he hit the goal, Davis rushed over from behind. There was obviously a pushing movement when defending. Li Yuxin was hit in the waist, and the shape of his leg changed.

Wenger took a look at the situation and quickly made adjustments. Li Yuxin moved to the striker position, replaced Van Persie and Hleb, replaced Pires and Ljungberg, and used their experience and sufficient physical fitness to seek goals.

The game continued, and Wenger's last-minute substitution finally had an effect. In the 705th minute of the game, Flamini cooperated with Cesc Fabregas in the backcourt, quickly pushed the ball to the frontcourt, and then hit a through ball to the feet of Pires who inserted into the road.

Pires got the ball on the road, facing Miller's interception, first pulled the ball backwards, then lobbed it, the ball flew past his left side, then quickly squeezed the opponent, pulled the ball with his left foot to the right, and then slammed it to the right.

Seeing that Pires passed the opponent, Ljungberg started immediately, and sure enough, he also sent the ball very quickly. Ljungberg used his absolute speed to quickly get rid of Rickiwell, and quickly entered the penalty area.

At this time Li Yuxin had returned to the road, and Henry also outflanked in place. Ljungberg glanced at the penalty area, quickly took the ball, and the ball flew past McCann and flew towards the road.

Li Yuxin was already there to respond, carrying Hughes behind him and pushing him secretly, half of his body unloaded the ball, but Hughes pressed tightly on his body, squeezing the opponent away with his own strength, and might temporarily lose control of the ball. Delany and Milner had already rushed over, but they might not even be able to hold the ball.

Li Yuxin glanced at the left side of the penalty area, tapped the ball with the toe of his left foot, lifted the ball up, then half-turned his body vigorously, swung the heel of his right foot up quickly, and threw it on the side of the ball, drawing the ball to the left.

The ball curves over Delany's head and falls between him and Barry, where there is space.

A huge figure rushed there quickly, and Barry behind him was thrown half a meter away. Henry saw Li Yuxin turn around and sensitively inserted into the penalty area. Sure enough, the moment he started, he found that the ball had passed the top of Delany's head.

"gooooooooo~~~~~~~~~~L, Thierry, Thierry equalized the score, Thierry equalized the score for us, thank Lee, thank Lee for his incredible pass, they are our best partners, with them, we will not lose to any opponent!!" Senke, who had been holding back for almost 10 minutes, finally waited for the chance to release.

"Beautiful captain." "There is still time, try to get another one."~~~~~~~~
After the restart, the Arsenal players were obviously encouraged by the goal. Their impetuous attack suddenly returned to the original rhythm and became orderly. Under the combing of Pires and Ljungberg, the two wings regained their vitality. The cooperation of Lu Fabregas, Li Yuxin, and Henry made Arsenal's offense more layered, and the mercury-laden offense was played out again.

However, Aston Villa was not willing to give up their hard work at the last moment. They were a little upset when they were equalized at first, but now they saw that the opponent took away their last piece of cake. Naturally, they were desperate. With the cheers of the fans in the audience, they basically gave up attacking and continued to invest their troops in defense.

"Toure's header, fuck, it's a post again, I hate hard things." Seeing Toure's header after receiving Henry's free kick was rejected by the post, Senke said a little annoyed.

"Cesc, ****, fouled, that guy Delany hit Cesc in the back, and the referee took our penalty." Seeing Fabregas fell in the penalty area after receiving a pass from Ljungberg, the referee did not make a penalty, and Senke's unwilling voice sounded again at the Villa Stadium.

"Woo~~" "Why don't you learn acting, kid"~~~~~~~? But the fans of Aston Villa didn't respond to Senke but booed even more.

The game quickly entered the last 5 minutes, but Arsenal still failed to score again. Soon, the most controversial scene of the game appeared.

In the 807th minute of the game, Villa got a corner kick, but it was quickly pushed out by Campbell and flew to the left. At this time, Pires had already rushed there to intercept the ball. There was no one in front of him.

Running into 20 meters, Pires saw a speeding figure rushing towards Villa's penalty area, and a precise long pass from the outside arc directly across the half-court to find the figure.

Li Yuxin quickly followed Pires the moment he started it. Seeing Pires sending the ball, Li Yuxin's confidence improved again. He quickly threw off Hughes behind him and followed up with a strafing shot.

"gooooooooo~~~~~~~L, Lee scored a goal, and Lee scored a lore goal. Oh, wait, what does that gesture by Rennie mean?! What does it mean!? Offside!! How is this possible?!" Senke stared anxiously and annoyed at the changes on the field.

"I'm not offside, the referee is not offside! When I went out, Delany was still in front of me." Li Yuxin opened his eyes innocently, pointed at Delany and emphasized, seeing that the game was about to end, no matter what, Li Yuxin would try his best to win this two-point goal.

"Referee, when Li ran out, he was not offside. Please check it out." Pires also caught up.At this time, Arsenal's players also surrounded Johnny and asked for reconfirmation.

"Didi~~" Rennie signaled the Arsenal players to get out of the way, and ran to the sideline to discuss with the linesman.

Soon Rennie pointed his finger into the penalty area, but it was not the goal, but near the penalty area line, which meant that Li Yuxin's goal was erased.

"What are you doing, did you see clearly!!" Li Yuxin shook his arm angrily, and said dissatisfied.

"Didi~" Rainey blew the whistle, signaling Henry to take Li Yuxin and others away quickly, otherwise he will be given a card.

"Let's go, Li Yuxin, don't take this kind of thing too seriously." Henry hastily pulled Li Yuxin away and comforted him. If Li Yuxin was given another card, it would mean that Li Yuxin would be suspended for a total of one game. This would not be worth the loss to Arsenal, and the next game would be against Manchester United, which was a six-point game.

Wenger shook his head helplessly, wanting to see the victory slip away like this.

"Damn, another guy without glasses." Senke sat back in his seat depressed. Judging from the playback results just now, Li Yuxin was not offside when Pires took the ball, but when Li Yuxin was going out, his speed suddenly increased. Coupled with Delany's sliding tackle, it seemed that Li Yuxin was offside.
