Chapter 107 Where Is the Counterattack?

Chapter 107 Where is the counterattack?

The Arsenal players, startled by Luton's attack, quickly fought back.

They also realised that if Luton were lucky enough to score a goal, their lead could be levelled in no time at all. Arsenal players will not allow this to happen!

So they quickly launched a ferocious attack, hoping to score the second goal of the game!

In the face of Arsenal's offensive, Luton still uses their accustomed defensive methods to deal with their opponents. The dense formation makes it difficult for Arsenal to score goals in the middle. Luton's players move in a very coordinated manner. The coordinated defensive positioning makes it difficult for Arsenal to find space in the middle.

After Hassan Ali came off, Cesc Fabregas became active again. He stepped on the ball in the middle circle and saw a dense crowd in front of him. From his perspective, it seemed that no matter where he was, Luton's There are always more players than Arsenal.

But Cesc Fabregas is a genius after all, and genius is that he can always find the gaps that ordinary people can't find.

He picked the ball up, over the head of the Luton midfield defender, and found Arshavin who opened the space wide.

Luton's defense is very dense in the middle, while the wings are relatively empty.

Arshavin stopped the ball steadily, but he didn't have the space to continue to break through to the middle. Maybe he could choose to bottom, but after the bottom, he still had to pass the ball back to the middle and let the forwards or other midfielders move forward. to complete the fatal blow.

However, Arshavin looked at the dense crowd in the penalty area and the two Luton defenders standing in front of him.

Arshavin doesn't know what their names are, and for the Russian star, such opponents are not worth remembering.

But in any case, the two were stuck in front of him, making the cross difficult.

There is no chance for a low pass, because Luton's defenders in the penalty area are very dense, basically blocking the lines of the low pass.

So Arshavin tried a high-altitude ball to find the top of Adebayor's head.

Adebayor looked at the incoming ball in the air, and first tried to squeeze Matt Schmidt away, but Matt Schmidt did not move at all, but Adebayor was hit and his center of gravity was a little unstable.

So the ball was pushed out by Matt again.

Wenger watched anxiously off the field. He really wanted to scold Adebayor for his brain problems.

"Run! Run!!!" Wenger shouted at Adebayor on the field.

"He can't keep up with you!!!"

After shouting, Wenger angrily sat back on the coaching bench.

Adebayor went to confront Matt head-on. Isn't this using his own shortcomings to attack others' strengths? When facing Matt, Adebayo's advantage lies in his footwork, his experience as a center, and his running skills.

These are things that Matt, a big fool, can't keep up with Adebayor.

But Adebayor didn't quite hear what Wenger was saying, and he fought Matt instead.

For Adebayor, he is just a player in the second league, and he actually fell into a disadvantage in header and physical confrontation?

How to find this child.

So then Matt continued to walk the ball over Adebayor's head. Adebayor didn't get any cheap money, but Matt became more and more confident!

Gao Bo is very happy on the sidelines. Arsenal can't get the ball into the penalty area now, and the high-altitude ball is controlled by Luton. Now in terms of defense, Luton has finally stabilized temporarily, even if Arsenal tried a few long shots from the outside, There was no threat to Luton's goal either, and as time went by, Arsenal's player mentality became a little anxious.

Gao Bo is very satisfied with Matt's performance in this game.

At least in the high-altitude ball defense in the penalty area,

Matt did a good job, but unfortunately his footwork is still too rough, otherwise, Gao Bo even wants to transform Matt into a header-enhanced version of Fellaini...

But it's Arsenal that dominates the offense now, and as Arsenal get more and more pressure, their offense is getting more and more ferocious!

In particular, the threat of Van Persie has gradually increased!

Van Persie has a very wide range of activities, which makes it difficult for Jeffrey, who is marking him, to keep up with the rhythm.

This is actually normal. Geoffrey is completely crushed by Van Persie in terms of strength, and Gao Bo is not surprised by this.

In the 57th minute of the game, Van Persie turned around and volleyed after receiving the ball at the top of the arc in the penalty area! !

The football passed through the dense crowd in the penalty area, which was almost the only line that had a chance of hitting the goal without hitting the other players, so it was found by van Persie.

Gao Bo was so nervous, he almost thought his team was about to lose the second goal...

But the post saved Luton! !

Van Persie's shot hit the post and went out of the bottom line! !

"Oh...nearly...nearly... Van Persie could help Arsenal seal the victory!!!" Letkinson said from the commentary, "But the situation is also very bad for Luton, now they are behind. One goal, and offensively, Luton are still being held by Arsenal. Perhaps the only good news for Luton is that they haven't conceded a second goal."

The shot was rejected by the post, which made Van Persie very regretful, but encouraged by this attack, Arsenal's attack became more ferocious.

In the fifty-ninth minute of the game, after Arshavin made a successful breakthrough from the wing, he shot from a small angle in the penalty area and was blocked by the goalkeeper. After the subsequent corner kick was taken, Van Persie shook his head and attacked the goal, and the football flew away from the far post...

The cheers from the Arsenal fans in the stands were wave after wave, and the hearts of the 40,000 Luton fans at the scene were all jolted. It seemed that Luton might lose the second goal at any time!

"You see, Xiao Liu, a dark horse is a dark horse after all!!" Zhang Xing, a reporter in the media booth, looked like he knew it, "This Gao Bo's FA Cup is over!"

Xiao Liu frowned, and he looked at the situation on the field with some worry. He supports Gao Bo. After all, he is a young man who has just come out of the society. He is high-spirited, and he has not yet reached the time when he is as cynic as the middle-aged man next to him...

In fact, Gao Bo was also worried, but he was looking at Arsenal's backcourt at this time!

Before you know it, almost all Arsenal players, except the goalkeeper, overwhelmed halftime! !

In Arsenal's half, there are dozens of meters of space for Luton to counterattack! ! ! Gao Bo quietly cast his eyes there, as if afraid that Arsenal would react and fill it up again.

But the premise of making a counterattack is to prevent Arsenal's attack first.

Van Persie's post is a warning! !

This means that Luton's defense is slowly and almost unable to withstand such a ferocious offensive, and the only way to turn the situation around is to come back with a quick counterattack to suppress Arsenal's increasingly fierce offensive...

When will the counterattack come? No one knows! !

Wenger also saw the gap in Arsenal's backcourt, but he was betting too! ! Bet on Arsenal to score the second goal first! !

Judging from the scene of the game, Arsenal have almost dismantled Luton's defensive system.

Although Adebayor couldn't get a bargain on Matt's head, Luton might not have much advantage in other attacking points, and with Arsenal's two full-backs pressing up, almost It is used as a winger! This has given Arsenal more numbers in attack, which has made Luton's defence more difficult.

Just when Gao Bo was a little anxious, in the 63rd minute of the game, Van Persie wanted to replicate his previous shot from the top of the penalty area, but Kante had taken precautions at this time.

As soon as Van Persie swung his right foot, Kante rushed up and tackled the ball directly.

Gao Bo's muscles tensed, but he didn't shout.

fight back....

Luton's counterattack is here! !
