Players from both sides began to warm up.
Arsenal showed a completely different mentality from other teams.
Just judging from the feelings of the fans, they may really think they can win.
After all, they are a group of fans who always feel that Wenger is not good enough and is not worthy of Arsenal.
When I first watched Arsenal AFTV, Huang Kevin kept thinking about it.
Do these fans not remember what Arsenal was like when Graham and Bruce Rioch were in charge?
But they enjoy the most expensive tickets in Europe.
It's normal to have some sense of superiority.
The game hasn't even started yet, and various banners have been put up in the stands.
Robin van Persie, who returned to the Emirates Stadium, will naturally focus on taking care of his goals.
Every time he touched the ball during warm-ups, he was booed.
"Go away, Robin Van Persie."
"Go back to the Netherlands, you only deserve to play in the Netherlands."
"Judas, you betrayed us!"
"Damn bastard, you're going to hell!"
Seeing Van Persie's expression, Huang Kevin felt that today's game would not be easy.
Maybe there will be a conflict with Arsenal.
Van Persie is not someone who will wrong himself.
Thinking carefully about the Dutch players he knows, Huang Kevin feels that only Edwin van der Sar and Huntelaar are not so egotistical.
Everyone's growth environment is different, so we cannot expect everyone to be a humble gentleman.
Some players don't care what the fans say.
But these Dutch people have very small minds.
No wonder they have such a good relationship with the Yellow Ball King.
Ahem...
Huang Kaiwen feels that when he has time, he should persuade the Dutch players to be more generous and repay grievances with kindness!
Huang Kaiwen, wearing the No. 10 goalkeeper jersey, showed off a few times and still aroused awe at the Emirates Stadium.
After all, he himself is the [Pele] template card.
Using different enhanced experience cards is just to enrich the experience and to better understand the characteristics of different opponents.
Look at Huang Kevin's performance.
Some Arsenal fans suspected that AC Milan was setting off a smokescreen, but in fact Huang Kevin still played as a winger.
"gone back!"
Notified staff.
Huang Kaiwen followed his teammates into the tunnel.
The referee team is all acquaintances.
Hungarian referee Viktor Kassoy.
Huang Kaiwen smiled and said to Messi: "This time you are going to win the championship again. You won the championship before he officiated in the Olympics."
Kaushoy officiated the 2008 Olympic finals.
Messi said: "Today is not a final."
"You can also play it as a final."
Huang Kevin said.
Van Persie:…
He is obviously the one being insulted by Arsenal fans.
Kevin is going to kill Arsenal.
Van Persie decided to call Robben when he had time and tell him about it.
Look at his relationship with Kevin.
Getting to know each other first does not mean that we have a good relationship.
When Robben Van Persie was in trouble, Kevin really helped him out!
…
"Today's game can be described as a focus battle. AC Milan is the team with the most goals in Europe, and Arsenal is the most offensive team in Europe. The showdown between them will definitely be quite exciting."
"Yes, what's interesting is that Henry is on the bench today. When Henry and Messi were on the same team, both of them lost to Huang Kaiwen. Now that the two have left Barcelona, they have become rivals today."
"There is another surprise today. I believe many fans have discovered it. Huang Kevin is wearing the goalkeeper's jersey. Yes, Huang Kevin will appear as AC Milan's starting goalkeeper today. Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides."
Arsenal 433 double midfielder:
Goalkeeper: Szczesny,
Defenders: Gibbs, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Sagna,
Midfielder: Alexander Song, Rosicky, Arteta,
Forwards: Ramsey, Higuain, Walcott.
AC Milan 433 single midfielder:
Goalkeeper: Huang Kaiwen,
Defenders: Antonini, Godin, Sven Bender, Lars Bender,
Midfielder: De Bruyne, Van Bommel, Rakitic,
Forwards: Hazard, Robin van Persie, Messi.
"Higuain is an old teammate of Ramos and Kevin Huang when they were at Real Madrid. His performance at Arsenal is quite good and he has filled the vacancy left by Robin van Persie."
"Yes, the Argentinian striker's skills are not as refined as Van Persie's, but his conditions are quite comprehensive in all aspects and he has no obvious shortcomings. He is very suitable for Arsenal's lineup."
"Wenger obviously wanted to guard Messi in today's starting game. The young player Ramsey should be a full-back today. I don't know if he is qualified for the role."
"AC Milan's lineup has undergone considerable changes. Buffon was injured, Abbiati had food poisoning before the game, and Huang Kevin became the starting goalkeeper. Zambrotta rested Antonini to play on the left, and Nesta was injured. Ramos is still suspended, so today Guardiola sent the Bender brothers."
Start with a warm-up.
The Arsenal players were very excited.
Now that it was confirmed that Huang Kaiwen would play goalkeeper, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Alexander Song lost the coin guessing, which did not affect their morale.
The one who takes the first kick directly organizes the attack.
Higuain gave the ball to Ramsey.
Ramsey found Messi with the ball.
Although Messi is very aggressive in pressing, his defensive ability is indeed average, and he was accelerated by Ramsey's spike and successfully got rid of it.
Rakitic pounced on Ramsey immediately.
At this time, Arsenal's formation had already unfolded, and Ramsey found Rosicky with a horizontal knock.
Rosicky has suffered injuries over the years, but his ball sense has not deteriorated at all.
For this rather fast pass, he used his right foot to successfully pull the ball away from Van Bommel's feet and immediately passed the ball to the right.
Walcott quickly went down the right wing.
Antonini turned around a little slower, and Walcott successfully took the ball to the side of the penalty area.
Seeing that his teammates were advancing into the penalty area, Walcott immediately sent a cross with his right foot.
It was quite chaotic in front of the door.
Huang Kaiwen stood on the right and stared at Rosicky in front of him. Unexpectedly, Rossini relied on Godin and sent the ball to the center with his heel.
The moment Higuain shot, Huang Kevin quickly fell to the ground and spread his legs.
The ball hit his right calf and bounced to the left.
Rosicky raised his left foot and took a shot. Huang Kevin used his foot force and got up to block the ball.
Seeing the ball falling near the sideline, Huang Kaiwen didn't rest. He used his waist and abdomen again and pounced. Rosicky's second shot hit his arm directly and bounced off the baseline.
"Beautiful! Huang Kaiwen made a wonderful three-game save at the beginning."
"If you don't want to face Kevin Huang who plays as a winger, you have to face Kevin Huang who plays as a goalkeeper. The AC Milan players have not fully entered the game state in the opening stage, but Huang Kevin's save this time is really impeccable."
"Huang Kaiwen stood up and shouted to his teammates, hey, did he learn this from Cech? Cech is the kind of goalkeeper who likes to communicate with his teammates."
Ramos in the stands bared his teeth.
I can't wait to rush to the field myself.
What the hell are these teammates?
The opening didn't go well, so let Arsenal rack up the number of shots.
"well done."
Antonini turned around and said.
"You'd better not give me a chance to show off!"
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.
Antonini smiled awkwardly.
It was true that he was not prepared just now and was eaten alive by others with speed.
Many full backs cannot outrun the wingers, but there are ways to defend against fast players when defending.
It is safer to wait for the other party with all the focus.
Some players are fast but not so good with their feet. They run sideways back with the opponent. When the opponent dribbles the ball a little further away from their bodies, they immediately look for opportunities to go up and destroy it.
Then there is the personal card slot.
But for flexible players like Robben and Ribery, that method is just a meal.
Not as safe as the first one.
"Stand your position and don't put pressure on Kevin!"
Guardiola shouted from the sidelines.
He didn't expect the team to give him such a big surprise at the beginning.
He is now somewhat glad that Amelia was not used.
Amelia is not as miserable as his assistant said, but it will definitely not be good if he is unable to play for a long time. If Huang Kevin hadn't played the ball just now, even if it had been replaced by Abbiati, he might have lost it.
Rosicky took a corner kick from the right.
The competition between players from both sides in the penalty area was quite fierce.
The ball landed right in front of the goal. Because there were too many people, Huang Kaiwen didn't reach out and could only judge the moment and prepare to save.
Godin jumped up to overpower Koscielny and headed the ball away.
Huang Kaiwen only relaxed for 0.1 seconds, and his body immediately tensed up.
With amazing dynamic vision, he instantly judged the path of the ball.
The ball landed at the top of the penalty area.
Arteta, who was standing nearby, didn't even need to move his steps and directly raised his right foot.
Left side! ! !
This kind of ball will not be kicked out slowly.
Kevin Huang had already made a judgment when Arteta was posing.
The whole person has already jumped out sideways.
Sven Bender in front of the goal subconsciously turned his head to protect himself, just in time to give the ball a flight path.
The judgment is correct!
But the ball is higher than Huang Kaiwen's throw.
Huang Kaiwen, who was well prepared, hit the ball hard with his right fist, and the ball flew out of the baseline again.
Huang Kevin stood up, clenched his fists, raised his arms and roared.
Several defenders quickly took up their positions.
Arsenal had scored four times in the first two minutes. Not to mention Kevin Huang, they themselves felt a bit outrageous.
The professor slapped his forehead with his right hand regretfully.
Such a world-wide kick did not even lead to a goal.
Huang Kevin's reaction speed was too fast.
This ball is very sudden.
The speed is also fast and the angle is tricky.
The professor felt that Arteta played well, but in the end he still failed to score.
It's not a problem with Arsenal's players, it's a problem with the opposing players.
grass!
The professor rarely cursed in his heart.
He has always felt that an all-rounder is like Kuyt, so he still doesn't understand why Huang Kevin is so good as a goalkeeper.
Rosicky took another corner kick.
Huang Kaiwen jumped high and directly picked the ball off, then threw the ball quickly to the frontcourt.
Van Persie turned his back and moved his left foot, and the ball jumped in front of Messi.
Messi singled out Gibbs on the left. He just swayed his body to the right and immediately buckled with his right foot, easily passing Arsenal's young full-back.
Fans in the stands nearby couldn't help but gasp.
So damn fast!
No matter how bad Gibbs was, he should have struggled a bit.
Unexpectedly, I lost my focus before I could even stretch my legs.
Messi took small steps to dribble the ball laterally, suddenly accelerated out of an angle, twisted at the top of the arc and fired a powerful shot.
The ball bounced off Vermaelen's legs.
The ball hit the post, and Szczesny, who was sweating all over, fell to the ground to suppress the ball.
The ball went in just a little bit to the left.
The ball that changes the line is the most difficult for the goalkeeper to handle, because you have already saved the opponent's shot, and it is too difficult to change the center of gravity.
At this time, it's okay to say that the ball is close, but if it goes straight in the opposite direction, it's fate.
It didn't take long to start.
Both goalkeepers were tested.
After several consecutive attacks, the pace of both sides finally slowed down.
The main reason is that both Milan and Arsenal have the ability to continuously pass the ball into the opponent's penalty area. In this case, both sides have strengthened their pressing near the midfield.
"De Bruyne, a young player, has very good offensive ability, but his defense is a little bit worse."
"Yes, but it may be because Kevin Huang is not here and he wants to improve some of the midfielder's passing abilities."
The three midfielders of both teams are similar.
Van Bommel and Rakitic have better defensive capabilities, and Arsenal's Arteta and Alexander Song support Rosicky.
With the development of football, few coaches except Guardiola dare to use a single defensive midfielder.
Guardiola learned a lesson and paired Van Bommel with Rakitic to protect him.
The similar midfield configuration makes the midfield competition between the two sides look particularly fierce.
Arsenal's midfielder has more experience.
But Van Bommel, a veteran, has more on his mind.
When De Bruyne went up to press, he waved for Antonini to follow him.
Antonini passed by and Walcott was already panicking.
Van Bommel, who was standing behind, had discovered the only passing route.
The moment Walcott passed the ball, he suddenly started to steal the ball in front of Rosicky who was advancing.
Rosicky counterattacked immediately, Van Bommel stretched his legs to block his legs, and he dribbled the ball towards the Arsenal half.
Arteta grabbed it quickly.
Van Bommel made a cross and then moved forward, Rakitic quickly returned the ball.
After the two completed the kicking against the wall, Van Bommel, who took the ball again, twisted and kicked it to De Bruyne.
He turned around and ran towards the backcourt.
De Bruyne sent a through ball the moment he received the ball, but Vermaelen stretched out his foot to block the ball.
"Good guy, the defense was really good this time."
"Yes, Vermaelen is very crucial at Arsenal, and he is a defender with a knife. He can score 4 or 5 goals every season."
"Arsenal's counterattack, you see, Arsenal actually have similar characteristics to AC Milan. When they counterattack, a large group of people press on them, and the passing route is not chaotic, and they can quickly complete the pass while running. .”
"It was Walcott's cross again. The goalkeepers were fighting. This was Sven Bender, what we call Little Bender. Bender fell to the ground and blocked the ball... Oh, the referee blew the whistle."
"The ball hit Bender on the arm and the referee gave Arsenal a penalty."
There were loud cheers at the Emirates Stadium.
Obviously the fans were very surprised by the sudden penalty kick.
But in the away fans' stands, the Roseneris showed no expression.
Not even a hint of worry.
This is the confidence in Huang Kaiwen.
In Huang Kaiwen's first Champions League final, he saved four penalty kicks from Liverpool in front of the goal, creating a miracle in Istanbul.
Rosenery believes that Huang Kevin will not let them down.
Discussions have already started at Arsenal.
Higuain scored 19 goals in the league, including 3 penalty kicks.
But at this time Higuain did not want to stand on the twelve yards.
"I can't do it, you go ahead."
Higuain said directly.
Huang Kaiwen left such a deep impression on him that he started to feel timid even before he stood twelve yards.
Sports battles are okay, there is not much time to think when the ball comes.
But standing at the penalty spot and looking at Huang Kaiwen's face, Higuain was afraid that he would kick out weakly and send it directly into Huang Kaiwen's arms.
"What do you say?"
Rosicky asked, hands on hips.
When Arsenal's top-flight victory was about to reach 1,500 games, they faced Sunderland, and Rosicky missed a penalty kick.
He wouldn't want to play if it wasn't necessary.
"Let me do it."
Arteta said.
"can you?"
Higuain asked.
He saw many talents in Real Madrid and Argentina.
I don't like half-engineers like Arteta.
Arteta rolled his eyes angrily and said, "How about you come?"
Higuain shut up and stood on the edge.
Players from both sides are already standing behind the line, waiting to rush into the penalty area.
Arteta stood at twelve yards holding the ball.
There was already sweat on his forehead before he made any move.
The person he is facing now is the most outrageous goalkeeper in the world.
In terms of winning percentage, Huang Kaiwen has never lost a game as a goalkeeper. This is something that Yashin cannot do.
And he has also watched the video of Xavi Alonso's two penalty kicks being saved many times.
Arteta carefully recalled Huang Kevin's saving habits.
I found that I couldn’t summarize it.
Everyone said that Huang Kaiwen's reaction was quick.
In this case, Arteta decided to leave everything to Miracle.
After putting the ball down, he stepped back one meter away. After listening to the whistle, he quickly took a run and pumped his right foot directly up.
good!
As soon as the ball was kicked out, he felt that the angle was good.
But Huang Kaiwen really pounced in the right direction.
It made Arteta's heart tighten.
Fortunately, Huang Kaiwen failed to block his shot.
The ball went in.
boom--
"Mikel!"
"Mikel!"
"Mikel!"
The Emirates Stadium erupted in cheers.
None of the Gunners expected that the firefighter would become the team's hero at the critical moment.
After scoring the goal, Arteta was very excited and rushed to the corner flag area.
The equally excited Arsenal players jumped on Arteta's back one after another and interacted with the home fans in the corner flag area.
"It's like they won."
Sven Bender curled his lips and said.
"If you don't give the penalty, they won't score."
Lars Bender said.
Big Bend is not as talkative as his younger brother.
But he still couldn't help it.
Several of Milan's defenders are excellent, and it is not easy to start in such an important game.
If Bender continues to play like this, he may have to go back to the bench soon.
Sven Bender muttered something.
Huang Kaiwen clapped his hands and shouted: "It's just a ball, don't take it seriously, just play it hard and give them some color today!"
After the goal, Arsenal's offense became stronger.
In the 31st minute, Gibbs came up to assist and passed a long pass back to the top of the arc. Arteta, who was penetrating forward, was nearby. He immediately jumped up and shook his head, and the ball was pushed out very quickly.
But Huang Kaiwen still lifted the ball over the crossbar with both hands.
"Kevin Huang!"
"Today Huang Kaiwen blocked the ball and his performance in front of the goal was quite impressive."
"Yes, Guardiola's starting lineup is still a bit ill-considered. These defenders lack tacit understanding and always allow Arsenal to find the right position when moving."
"Yes, Messi was also annoyed by Ramsey during the attack. The young player Ramsey really used his hands and feet to defend Messi today."
【Xu Hao】Okay.
"I kind of suspect that the AC Milan players took the money and deliberately tricked Kevin Huang."
"AC Milan didn't play very well today, especially on the defensive line, but Coach Zhang was right. It was mainly due to unskilled coordination. The Bender brothers didn't play many times at all. Zambrotta dominated the starting lineup, and Antonini's The state is not very stable either.”
"What you think is really simple. Kevin Huang is not an ordinary person."
"Yes, let's see, it doesn't matter if Arsenal doesn't score. If Arsenal scores again, maybe it will be a one-stop game. He has performed a goalkeeper one-stop game before when Real Madrid played against Chelsea."
"Hahaha, I suspect it was that game that convinced Abramovich. It is said that Abramovich gave him a billion signing bonus."
"Why don't you talk about a billion tons of gold? Damn it! Although Huang Kaiwen is good, one billion pounds can buy a fucking Premier League team other than the BIG4."
"How about BIG4? You can't see how strong Manchester City is now, can you?"
"Let's talk about it when we win the championship."
"Chelsea can spend money to rise, why can't Manchester City? After Huang Kevin was forced to leave, the suspense of the Premier League has returned."
Arsenal took another corner kick.
There was a chaotic fight in the penalty area between players from both sides.
Godin's header hit Alexander Song, and the ball bounced into the small penalty area.
Huang Kaiwen stood in front of the goal and kept moving. Players on both sides were raising their feet to kick the ball, which seriously interfered with his judgment.
Fortunately, Huang Kaiwen was still able to hold his own and did not focus on rushing out.
At this time, Huang Kevin missed Ramos and Nesta quite a lot.
These two people were very quick to clear the siege and would not cause such a situation.
Fortunately, Antonini stepped forward this time. He found the opportunity to reach out and hook the ball successfully.
Antonini was pulled down from behind by Walcott before he left the penalty area.
The referee blew the whistle and warned Walcott.
"Arsenal players are very quick to get back to the defense."
"This foul itself is tactical, so there is nothing to discuss. If Antonini is not pulled down, AC Milan's counterattack will come out."
"Huang Kaiwen is standing in the penalty area, looking like he is ready to take a big shot."
Arsenal ruined Milan's fast break chances.
But Huang Kaiwen found that there was still a chance on the court.
The reason why he didn't kick off right away was that he found that the Arsenal players didn't realize it at all, so he didn't show it to prevent the other party from being alert.
After taking a run-up, Huang Kevin rubbed the ball hard with his kick.
boom--
Fans who are familiar with Huang Kevin can recognize that this is the way he kicks the ball.
The ball quickly passed the midfield and dropped rapidly, just finding De Bruyne.
De Bruyne turned his back and knocked the ball with his calf, stopping the ball in front of him, and then knocked the ball to Hazard.
Hazard directly rubbed his feet, and the ball fell from Sagna's head to Van Persie's side.
After the ball hit the ground, Van Persie immediately stretched out his foot to pick it up.
Koscielny, who rushed to defend, was completely shaken, and when he tried to turn around, he fell directly into the penalty area.
The unguarded Van Persie raised his right foot and hit the volley directly.
Szczesny immediately dived sideways, but still couldn't block Van Persie's shot.
Evened! ! !
"Goal!!!"
"Van Persie scored the equalizer under Kevin's instigation."
"When Kevin stands on the goal line, I can have double peace of mind. On the one hand, I don't worry that the team will often concede goals. On the other hand, I won't worry that the team can't score goals."
"This ball is a good demonstration of my idea. Kevin's genius passing instigated the entire offensive. Arsenal thought that they were foolproof if they got time to recover after a foul, but in fact everything they relied on was full of loopholes in Kevin's eyes. "
"You know, one versus one is the beginning, not the end."
"Arsenal players celebrated wildly just now, but later they will feel the pain of losing something."
Robin van Persie scored a goal and ran wildly at the Emirates Stadium.
The stadium was filled with boos.
But seeing that the direction Van Persie was running towards was the Milan goal, Arsenal fans didn't pay much attention.
As long as you don't provoke them.
Huang Kaiwen stood in the penalty area with a smile, arms open and ready.
Unexpectedly, Van Persie slid to his knees in front of the penalty area.
Moreover, there was an accident this time when he was sliding and kneeling. The turf was not that lubricated, and he got stuck halfway while sliding.
The whole person fell forward.
Van Persie immediately stretched out his hands to prevent himself from being injured.
But he happened to kneel in front of Huang Kaiwen, and his head almost hit the turf.
Van Persie finally stopped and looked up at Huang Kevin.
Huang Kaiwen looked down at Van Persie, what are you doing if it's not the New Year or a holiday?
Although Huang Kevin wanted to make a joke in this situation.
But when he thought about how petty Van Persie was, he decided not to embarrass Van Persie.
Huang Kevin quickly bent down and helped Van Persie up.
But this action looks like some scenes in historical dramas.
【Xu Song】Okay.
"Fuck, what did Van Persie do? He just hit him."
"I said this scene feels familiar. I've seen Liu Bei always do this move in the Three Kingdoms before."
"Hahaha, it made me laugh. I used to say that it was because of Kevin Huang that Van Persie came to AC Milan, but now that he knelt down and kowtowed, I think this matter is really close to home."
"Didn't you hear it? There were no boos at the scene. The Arsenal fans probably didn't even understand what was going on with this kid."
"I thought that with Kevin Huang in goal, Messi would perform best, but I didn't expect that Van Persie would steal the spotlight so much."
"Did Messi perform poorly? Arsenal defended with two people every time. His breakthrough on the right still created quite a lot of opportunities, but Arsenal's Vermaelen performed really well today."
"Vermaelen is really good and I feel like he is one of the best defenders in the Premier League now."
"I still think Terry is better. Terry's defense is reassuring to watch."
"If nothing else, Terry's big shoulders are twice as wide as mine, and he's so damn strong."
Van Persie's kowtow this time reduced the smell of gunpowder on the field a lot.
Arsenal players are basically his former teammates.
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw Van Persie come here.
Inzaghi gave a thumbs up to the court.
He didn't expect the Dutch boy to be so direct.
Van Persie curled his lips, muttered something and ran back.
This celebration was indeed a bit embarrassing, and he still had to think about how to explain it.
After the goal, Milan regained the initiative.
De Bruyne continued to send shells to the left and right sides, and Hazard and Messi flying together on both wings were quite enjoyable to watch.
The professor standing on the sidelines felt sour inside.
A Kevin Huang.
A Messi.
Forget that both of these geniuses are at AC Milan.
Where did Hazard and De Bruyne come from?
Hazard's wonderful dribbling on the court is almost a weakened version of Messi.
De Bruyne's precise passing allowed Wenger to see the possibility of another midfield master being born.
In the 44th minute, Messi passed 5 people in a row on the right and then hit a cross kick. If Van Persie hadn't pursued the angle too much and hit the post, Arsenal would have been reversed.
The excitement at Emirates Stadium is gone.
The offense they were proud of was outclassed by Milan's offense.
Milan's players can coordinate with one shot in a row, or they can pass several players with the ball themselves.
The two wingers, one on the left and one on the right, were both outstanding, which made them worry about whether they would lose today.
Hazard dribbled the ball from the left and knocked down Sagna several times with consecutive spikes.
Sagna rolled and crawled into the penalty area.
Koscielny immediately rushed forward to stretch his foot. Unexpectedly, Hazard flicked his left foot and passed him.
"Don't go up, look at the middle!"
Szczesny shouted.
If Vermaelen lets go of Van Persie, then Hazard will pass the ball.
Finding that Vermaelen had not come over, Hazard could only dribble the ball and continue into the penalty area.
Koscielny, who was running back, fell to the ground with a sliding tackle.
Although Hazard successfully avoided it, the ball was still obtained by Szczesny who attacked.
Szczesny kicked the ball away with a big kick.
Ramsey on the left ran forward hard.
Van Bommel was a little panicked because Milan was pressing forward this time.
But when he saw a figure rushing out of the restricted area, his heart was relieved.
Van Bommel slowed down and jammed Ramsey, and Huang Kevin successfully ran to the right and twisted with a big kick.
Rescue!
Van Bommel breathed a sigh of relief.
But when he turned around, he realized that it was not as simple as he thought!
The ball actually went diagonally across most of the field and directly behind Arsenal's defense.
Van Persie successfully countered offside and easily sent the ball into the goal with his left foot!
