striker cool brother

Chapter 123
Since the 04-05 season, Arsenal has never won the league championship, but it has never fallen out of the top four in the league.

It seems that the team's goal every season is to compete for the top four in the Premier League and qualify for the Champions League.

Some fans joked: friendship first, competition second, Arsenal fourth.

If the points rank in the top four, they can be tied by the middle and lower teams, or even lose.

But as long as they are ranked after No. 4, especially in the last few rounds of key matches in the league, no matter who their opponent is, they will all be defeated.

Never mess with Arsenal, who are fighting for the fourth.

Arsenal now has 42 points, ranking sixth in the standings, only two points away from fourth-placed Manchester United.

Professor Wenger, full of confidence for Tuesday's game.

On the starting lists of both sides, one name particularly caught his attention.

Rossi.

Wenger, who likes young players, couldn't possibly be unaware of Rossi, who has made a big splash in the British Championship, but he hesitated.

First of all, the team has Sanchez who joined from Barcelona last summer, the black pearl Welbeck, the little tiger Walcott, the big center Giroud, and there is no shortage of strikers.

Furthermore, Rossi's current worth is about 450 million pounds, and Wenger will definitely not spend this unjustified money to buy a substitute.

Therefore, Rossi has always been within the scope of his investigation.

Now his first game back to Leicester City is to play against his own team, just to observe him carefully, whether it is worth introducing this summer.

Rossi traveled to London on the team bus with "Liekkas" always playing on his headphones.

When you come to the Emirates Stadium, the two cannons placed at the entrance are particularly eye-catching.

The kneeling Henry and the flying blogger Kemp, the two bronze statues instantly make people return to the glorious moments of Arsenal.

The Emirates Stadium, which can accommodate 6 spectators, has three tiers of stands stacked on top of each other, creating an atmosphere that makes people's blood spurt.

It's just warm-up time, the stadium is almost full of fans, and the team song "North London Forever" has been slowly sung by the fans.

It has to be said that the richer the team, the stronger the atmosphere at home.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, the players from both sides, led by the referee, walked slowly into the Emirates Stadium.

Rossi is wearing a vest and sitting in the lounge area.

Although he was included in the roster for the competition, Pearson could not guarantee that he could perfectly integrate into the team after only one week of joint training, so he was not placed in the starting position.

5-4-1.

This defensive lineup once again showed Pearson's conservative tactics.

This is understandable, the bottom of the league, the away game, the opponent is Arsenal, everyone will put the defense in the first place.

It is already thankful to be able to get a draw at the home court of Arsenal.

Wenger deployed a commonly used 4-3-3 offensive formation, and Giroud returned from injury in this game and sat on the bench.

[Here is the 25th round of the Premier League this season, with Arsenal playing against the bottom-ranked Leicester City at home. 】

[In the last round of the North London Derby, Arsenal lost to Tottenham away and fell out of the Champions League.The Leicester City team has been at the bottom of the standings for three full months. 】

[Before the winter window closed, Leicester City recalled the teenager Rossi who played in the British Championship, and he was also sitting on the bench in this game. 】

【Um? 】

The on-site commentator suddenly became agitated.

[It's Henry, my God, our King of Highbury is back! ! ! 】

Amidst the cheers of the fans, Henry, who was sitting in the VIP area, stood up with a smile and waved to the fans to thank them.

Inside the Emirates Stadium, there was an uproar.

Not long ago, Henry retired at the New York Red Bulls, ending his 18-year career.

Loyal gun fans will always remember that the best Henry was in London and Highbury.

380 games, 226 goals, 4 Premier League Golden Boots, 2 Premier League trophies, 49 unbeaten games, the best scorer in history.

It's all about the one-time King of Highbury.

Amid the prolonged applause from the fans, Henry sat down and said to the beauties beside him, "Miss Lott, welcome to the Emirates Stadium."

"Thank you, and congratulations on your return home." Pixie replied politely.

Henry smiled and went home, Arsenal is forever home.

"I didn't expect that Miss Lott also likes to watch football." Henry asked very gracefully: "Which player do you like the most now, and which one is it on the field?"

Pixie was a little embarrassed, she shook her head and said, "He's not on the court."

Not at the stadium, could it be me?
As an Arsenal star, Henry has such strength and confidence.

Drip~~~~

With a long whistle, the game officially started, with Leicester City taking the lead.

After a few simple passes, Cambiasso sent a long pass from the midfielder position to the left midfielder Schlupp.

Originally a central midfielder, Schlupp was turned into a left midfielder by the head coach after being promoted to the Premier League due to his high physical fitness, fast speed and comprehensive defense.

On this side, he can use his super physical fitness to balance the offensive and defensive ends of the wing.

After taking the ball, Schlupp dribbled the ball along the side to attack. Facing Rosicky's defense, he took the ball forward with his right foot and activated his body at the same time.

This kind of simple acceleration is very rough, it is to use the player's personal ability.

And for Rosicky, who is already 34 years old, he should use his speed to eat raw.

Rosicky, who has experienced many battles, defended sideways, turned around to make up for the first time, chased back a few steps and put a shovel, not only intercepting the opponent's breakthrough, but also snatching the ball back.

The successful defense also won applause from the fans.

After stealing the ball, Rosicky looked up and sent a long oblique pass to Ozil in the front midfielder.

Although Arsenal has a trident on the front line, the left winger Ozil has to withdraw from time to time to control the ball.

When there is no passing space in the middle, Ozil will move the ball to the side, and Rosicky quickly inserts into the midfielder position, becoming the core of the team's offensive and defensive transition.

Or on the side of Walcotla, Rosicky inserts the opponent's rib space, and then uses excellent dribbling to disrupt the opponent's defense.

In short, Arsenal's midfield attack is very fast and flexible, with excellent passing and cutting, so that every player may become the terminator of the offense.

Without a midfield advantage, the Leicester City team deployed a trailing central defender to defend against the opponent's sudden thrust.

The two central defenders can also mark the space in the ribs and press the players with the ball.

This is Pearson's defensive deployment against Arsenal, hoping to score a point at the Emirates Stadium.

But after the start, Arsenal's control over the ball was far higher than Leicester City's imagination.

In the 3rd minute, Rosicky used his excellent dribbling to dribble the ball laterally from the side, pulled out the defense of Upson and Schlupp, and created opportunities for Walcott and Sanchez who advanced forward.

But he didn't choose to pass the ball at the first time. Instead, he hit the wall with Özil in the middle and made a two-for-one, throwing off Schlupp's pressing.

Rosicky, who took the ball to the top of the penalty area, immediately attracted the attention of the three central defenders.

In the small space, there seemed to be no passing lanes, but Rosicky passed the ball to Sanchez and moved forward quickly.

Sanchez turned his back to get the ball, saw his teammate go forward, and sent the ball directly to Rosicky's feet without stopping the ball.

The trailing central defender Huth always kept his sideways position, but he never imagined that Arsenal's offense was so sharp.

Turn around and chase back!
Huth wished he had more legs.

Seeing Rosicky kicking up and preparing to shoot, he fell to the ground and slid the shovel to seal the angle of the shot.

The disturbed Rosicky hit the near corner of the goal, and the attacked goalkeeper Schwarzer dragged out of the baseline with his left hand.

Hey!
After the missed goal, the Arsenal fans all exclaimed.

Rosicky also looked up to the sky and covered his face, showing a regretful expression.

[Hey, Arsenal, as expected of beautiful football, used delicate passes in the frontcourt at the beginning to tear apart the defense. 】

[If it weren't for Huth dragging behind, this ball Rosicky would have been a one-handed ball. 】

[Now it is Arsenal's right corner kick, and Ozil will take the penalty. 】

[The ball is passed to the back point, header! ! ! 】

With the earth-shattering exclamation of the home fans, the ball flew into the net.

[GOAL! ! ! ! ! 】

[Leicester City's defense actually missed, giving Koscielny a header. 】

[Only 5 minutes into the game, Arsenal scored a goal. They actually used a header to knock on Leicester City's goal. 】

[Arsenal, on the road to the fourth, has never let us down. 】

At the moment of the goal, Pearson danced his fists, roared loudly, and angrily scolded the players.

Arsenal's top advantage is only two or three people, and they missed it when defending. This is definitely a serious mistake.

It was an unforgivable mistake.

After scoring the goal, Koscielny ran to the sidelines, and his teammates gathered around to celebrate with the fans.

The Leicester City team with five backs was hit by Arsenal with a header. Didn't this slap Pearson hard in the face?
However, this is only the first 4 minutes of the game.
