The poorest Premier League star, the whole network begs for money

But only 1 minute passed.

Arsenal intercepted Barcelona's Busquets through ball.
Fang Cheng also started to respond and received the pass from his teammate.

He was facing the Barcelona players' marking.

There is no stagnant movement at all.
He shook off Barcelona's defenders one after another.
To find a little space to pass the ball.

The ball crossed the Barcelona penalty area and reached the back point.

At this time, Saka inserted in time.
He ran to the back of the goal.
Get ready to receive this beautiful pass.

Although his height is not an advantage, when he sees the football flying over his head,

Jump decisively to compete for the top.

Head the football towards the goal.

This is a close-range header.
The football flew towards the goal with great inertia.

However, Barcelona's goalkeeper made a save at the same time.

It can be said that he made the save entirely based on instinct.

He stretched out his hands almost subconsciously.

As Saka looked on in disbelief, he saw the flight path of the football was blocked by the goalkeeper.
The football was blocked!
This world-class subconscious save amazed the Arsenal players.

Afterwards, Barcelona's defenders quickly retreated to the penalty area.
They used headers to clear the ball out of the danger zone.
Successfully resolved Arsenal's attack.

"Defend!"

"Can't you just keep an eye on that Chinese guy?"

Barcelona's head coach immediately started shouting angrily on the field.

The Barcelona defenders felt extremely miserable.
It was obvious that Busquets passed the ball too casually in the frontcourt, which led to the ball being intercepted. Then Arsenal launched a quick counterattack and their defense had no choice but to deal with it awkwardly.

This has nothing to do with whether or not to keep an eye on the equation. Any other player with better skills can make the correct pass in a counterattack.

Soon, the entire Barcelona team was dissatisfied with the situation on the field, because they were a team famous for passing and controlling football, so how could they be at a disadvantage against a Premier League team?

It’s still just the beginning and they are in good physical condition. They can’t stand their current performance.

Immediately, Barcelona displayed their La Liga passing and controlling abilities, with Arsenal temporarily choosing to lure out Barcelona’s defence.

On the 7th minute,

De Jong attacked from the left.
He observed Fati's position,

Immediately facing the gap in Arsenal's defense,

Kicked a precise cross.

Fati quickly moved forward at the same time.
Quickly form a single-handed ball.

There was almost half an empty door in front of him.
This is a perfect shooting position.

He shot instantly!
However, the Arsenal goalkeeper did not lose focus.
He had predicted this opening long ago.

Falling to the ground quickly!
Facing the flying football,
He instantly stretched out his hand.

The ball was saved from going out of bounds.

All the Arsenal fans in the stadium were amazed by this wonderful save.

Barcelona has a super goalkeeper, and Arsenal also has a super goalkeeper!
The game suddenly became tense.

The football comes and goes, almost unstoppable.

It was not until the 22nd minute that there was another chance to score.

Fang Cheng ran at the front of the penalty area.
Suddenly he received the pass from his teammate.

This made the Barcelona players' eyelids twitch.

Now the equation is the focus on the court,

Every time he touches the ball he is a threat.

I saw Fang Cheng lowering his head.
It seems like he is concentrating on controlling the football under his feet.

There is no need to look up to see what is happening ahead.
This made the Barcelona players not know what choice Fang Cheng would make. They were shocked and panicked, and didn't know what defensive moves to make.

Soon, the equation was inscribed.

He kicked the ball suddenly.

He chose a low shot.
The football passed through the penalty area in an instant, and the Barcelona players in front failed to block it.

Barcelona goalkeeper rushed to save the ball.

But he didn't touch the football.
There was a bang,
The football hit the goal post and was just one step away from scoring a goal.

The Barcelona players all felt a lingering fear.

Fortunately, no goal was scored, otherwise everyone in their penalty area would be a sinner.

Fang Cheng felt a little disappointed. He didn't expect that his luck was so bad.

He was obviously very confident of scoring and had a good feel for the ball, otherwise he wouldn't have kept his head down.

After seeing Fang Cheng's shot, Barcelona's Busquets felt dissatisfied.

It feels like this young man has no moral principles and dares to deal with Barcelona like Messi did.

This is simply using the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the officials of the current dynasty.

Busquets decided to step up and show this young man what a world-class midfielder is!

Suddenly, Busquets sent a super long through ball.
This pass was as accurate as a missile.
Passed through the Arsenal defense,
Directly found forward Fati.

Fati is a young man with great speed, and he successfully received the pass.

An opportunity for a breakthrough was created.

He was going to charge into Arsenal's penalty area alone.

There is no field of vision to see teammates coming to support.

Facing the blockade of Arsenal defenders,

Fati was not afraid and shot decisively before the defender.

Arsenal goalkeeper made a save.
But the ball hit the foot of the Arsenal defender, causing it to refract.
The football flew into the net.
Barcelona broke the deadlock away from home and took a 1-0 lead.

After scoring the goal, Fati waved his fist excitedly.

His Barcelona teammates also excitedly came forward to hug him and celebrate.

This is the power of Barcelona's young people.

The Arsenal players felt a bit uncomfortable.

It is very clear that this goal conceded in the Champions League will have a significant impact on the subsequent game.

This is an away goal for Barcelona, ​​and one away goal is worth two home goals.

The score was behind, which allowed Arsenal to launch a fierce attack quickly.

It’s not like they haven’t defeated La Liga teams before.

Real Madrid has won.

Winning one more Barcelona is nothing.

In the 32nd minute, Arsenal quickly coordinated the attack and after coming to the right, Fang Cheng and Xhaka played a quick wall pass.

Fang Cheng got the football again,
Quickly rushed towards Barcelona's penalty area.

Barcelona players all rushed over to prevent him from passing the ball or shooting.

This time, though, the equation goes straight to the bottom line.

Facing a narrower shooting angle.

He didn't hesitate at all.

He jumped up desperately and kicked a shot at a small angle.

This shot is like a laser.
The ball instantly hits the blind corner of the goal!

Barcelona's goalkeeper made a desperate save despite the risk of his life.

But the football still flew into the goal!

Arsenal successfully equalized the score with this world wave from Cheng.
The score was changed to 1-1.

After scoring the goal, Fang Cheng excitedly ran to the sidelines to celebrate this world-class goal with his head coach and teammates.

The Barcelona players were all stunned for a moment.

I never expected that Fang Cheng would equalize the score so quickly after we took the lead.

The head coach of Barcelona was stamping his feet in anger on the sidelines. He had already told them to defend the equation, but the people on the field still failed to do so.

What kind of players are these? Is the pre-match preparation just a formality?
The two teams are back on the same starting line again.

The Arsenal fans in the stadium gave a huge cheer.

The next game may become more intense.

In the 34th minute, facing Arsenal's rapid attack with no signs of stopping, Barcelona's goalkeeper, who had been performing well, made a rare mistake.

He tried to kick the ball away.

But the angles were not well grasped.
This directly resulted in the football not flying as far as expected.

Instead, it fell near their half.

Saka quickly saw the ball.

He immediately jumped in and rushed towards this unexpected "gift".

But maybe because I wasn't prepared,

I was overwhelmed by the unexpected surprise.

So, Saka failed to stop the ball properly on the first try.

It was a shot almost at a very bad angle.

He tried his best to adjust.
Trying to kick the ball into the goal,
But unfortunately,
The ball eventually hit the side net and no goal was scored.

Although there was no goal, Arsenal teammates applauded Saka for encouragement.

Don’t worry about whether there were any goals or not, the question is whether it had a serious impact on Barcelona’s momentum.

At the same time, this also made Arsenal notice that Barcelona's goalkeeper is not perfect. Next, they can try to put more pressure on Barcelona's goalkeeper.

Soon it was the 42nd minute of the game and the Barcelona goalkeeper faced a challenge again.

He tried to clear the situation by kicking his foot.
However, this time his long kick directly passed the ball to his teammate, which was a dangerous ball.

Football is a hot potato. The position of teammates makes it difficult to receive the ball and may be intercepted at any time.

Sure enough, Fang Cheng suddenly rushed out from behind the other person like a gust of wind.

After stealing the ball, he quickly used technical moves to get rid of the Barcelona players, and this moment, he had a chance to shoot.

There was not even a second to adjust before he took a long shot.

however,
The Barcelona goalkeeper made up for it.

Fly to save the situation and block it in time.
The football was blocked and flew out of the baseline.

The other Barcelona players were almost scared to death. Why did it feel like the goalkeeper’s kick today was both good and bad?

Is this an attempt to force a sense of existence for myself?
Are you really worried that you won't have the chance to move around and will catch a cold outside the door? ?
The chaos in Barcelona's backcourt still affected the mentality of many of their players.

Time passed quickly. In the first half stoppage time, Barcelona wanted to take advantage of this period when players were easily distracted and they launched a final fierce attack.

Busquets wanted to perform his world-class through pass, but the Arsenal defense did not lose focus and blocked Busquets' through pass.

Barcelona wanted to counter-attack on the spot, but Arsenal was not a team with rough skills. They immediately used their passing skills and walked Barcelona's counter-attack around like a stroll, making them unable to find the end.

At halftime, both teams were busy making various arrangements in the locker room.

Soon, the second half begins.

The game instantly entered a tense stage.

The teammate's pass hasn't come yet.
The equation started up instantly and rushed forward.

Soon, the ball from his teammate rolled up behind him.
Fang Cheng immediately made a breakthrough with the ball.

The Barcelona defenders got anxious and tried to stop him with a fierce sliding tackle.

However, Fang Cheng jumped up and easily avoided the opponent's tackle.

Keep pushing forward.

After going deep into the penalty area, I saw that the Barcelona goalkeeper had already rushed out.

The equation found teammate Nketiah in a better position.

Without a trace of hesitation,
I didn't even think about scoring a goal.

He decisively passed the ball to Nketiah.
Now Barcelona's defense has been disrupted by him alone.

This gave Nketiah a great chance to score.

However, Barcelona is indeed a strong team in La Liga, and De Jong chased all the way back from the midfield to the penalty area.

At the moment Nketiah shot, De Jong flew to block it, blocking it from going out of bounds.

Or is it because the angle of the door is too small?
Nketiah's shot was blocked by De Jong.

It failed to go into the goal and instead hit the side netting.

Nketiah showed a painful expression and wanted to apologize to Fang Cheng.

But the equation just waved its hand.
Expressing yourself has no impact at all.

If you miss the first time, just wait for the next time. We are all professional football players. Who hasn’t wasted a few great opportunities?
Saka thinks there is nothing wrong with wasting shots, as long as he continues to attack and maintains a good attitude.

Just one minute later,
Barcelona failed to seize the corner kick opportunity, and the corner kick fell directly at the feet of the Arsenal players outside the penalty area.

Xhaka got the ball and quickly found Saka.

Saka chose to dribble the ball himself.
He successfully broke through Barcelona's defense by changing the rhythm and dribbled the ball out of the penalty area.

Facing the attack of the Barcelona goalkeeper, Saka was not panicked.

The moment of shooting,
Maybe it was because the football was not held down.

As a result, the football went over the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.

Saka looked at the flying football and scratched his head.

Although there is nothing wrong with my mentality, I still feel that I should not miss this great opportunity.

However, when Barcelona saw that the situation on the field was not right, they immediately adjusted their tactics.

Since we are playing at Arsenal's home ground today and they have already scored a goal, there should be no problem in choosing a safe option and using defensive counterattacks to deal with Arsenal.

Sure enough, after they chose to defend and counterattack, in the 59th minute, De Jong intercepted Arsenal's pass in the midfield and they quickly launched a counterattack.

Fati relied on his flexible footwork to break through with the ball.

Cut into Arsenal's defence like a knife.

Arsenal defenders tried to stop him.

But Fati easily got past him with a quick change of direction.

Continue to go deeper into the restricted area.

When he entered the penalty area, facing the attacking Arsenal goalkeeper,

He headed for the lower left corner of the goal.

Kicked the football hard.

Watching the football spinning towards the goal,

Arsenal goalkeeper accurately judged the angle of Fati's shot.
At an almost impossible angle,
The football was miraculously blocked.

Fati looked at the blocked ball and couldn't believe it.
Unexpectedly, he missed his second goal.

Then, Arsenal tried to launch an attack because they were still at a disadvantage in the score and needed to score another goal to have a chance to advance to Barcelona's home court.

In the 66th minute, Fang Cheng dribbled the ball and broke through on the wing.

Involving two Barcelona defensive players to come over to defend.

Fang Cheng saw his teammates running out of the corner of his eye.
He immediately kicked a curve ball.

The pass accurately found Nketiah in the penalty area.

Nketiah jumped up instantly and tried to head the ball.

When heading the football.

But because he is not tall enough,
Didn't hit the football.

The Barcelona goalkeeper caught the cross ball early.

After seeing this, Fang Cheng felt that crossing the ball seemed not suitable for them.

This would only work if he passed the ball forward and his teammates headed the ball into the goal.

Although there was no shot, Arsenal did not choose to retreat and continued to suppress Barcelona at home.

In the 72nd minute, Barcelona's long pass was intercepted by Arsenal's backcourt, and then Arsenal quickly transferred the ball to the frontcourt.

The equation is used as a fulcrum at the front of the restricted area.
Steadily withstanding the interference from the opponent behind him, he received the pass from Xhaka.

With his back to the goal, he turned flexibly.

Used flexible movements to get rid of the pressing Barcelona players.

In the moment of turning around,

He found Saka coming in from the wing.

Immediately send a through ball,
Found Saka who was making a forward run.

However, this time, Barcelona marked Saka very closely and blocked Fang Cheng's pass one step ahead.

Saka felt a little regretful as he watched the football fly out of the sideline.

Although they got an out-of-bounds ball opportunity,

But he missed a good chance to score directly.

At this time, the ball was thrown out of bounds. Although the physical strength of the players on both teams began to decline, the fight for the ball was very intense.

Xhaka threw the ball in.

Fang Cheng pretended to run forward and used a fake move to get past the Barcelona players who were defending him.

Then he turned quickly and stopped the ball with his right foot.

He used his speed to break through the blockade of Barcelona players.

Quickly came to the outside of the penalty area.

At this critical moment,
Fang Cheng did not choose to pass the ball.
Instead, he kicked the ball directly into the goal.

This shot is extremely threatening.

It went straight through the opponent's penalty area and flew to the back point.

The goalkeeper quickly made a save.

Barcelona players also returned to the penalty area in time.

He tried to block the ball with a shovel shot.

However, the goalkeeper failed to block the ball.

Including the following sliding shot, he failed to block the ball.

Seeing the football rolling in the net,

Countless Barcelona fans showed disappointed expressions.

The score is 2:1.

Arsenal eventually took the lead.

The entire Arsenal team went to the sidelines and celebrated the goal wildly.

Finally, after wasting many opportunities, they finally reversed the score.

The hope of advancing to the Champions League final is back in their hands.

The competition enters its final stage.

Barcelona tried to attack. After all, they are a top club in La Liga and they will definitely not choose a conservative style of play like other teams.

If they choose to be conservative, it will be a disgrace to the top club.
However, their offense has not yet transitioned to the midfield.
Arsenal seized the opportunity again.

Arsenal launched a fierce counterattack.

With a smooth pass, Arsenal passed the ball to the front of Barcelona's penalty area.

Xhaka feels that as a veteran employee of the team, he should stand up at critical moments.

He received the ball, felt that his feet were in good shape, and shot directly.

However, the Barcelona goalkeeper did not perform as well as he did in the first half.

The football is about to fly into the goal
He leapt to save the life.
Arsenal's sure goal was avoided.

Barcelona escaped.

The game wasn't over yet, and both teams became more stable.

Just a player who gets into the offense a little bit.

Whether or not a goal can be scored depends on the individual ability of the players. (End of this chapter)
