Arsenal's attack came very quickly. After Sanchez on the right got the ball, he quickly moved forward.
Sanchez himself is a skilled, fast, and accurate attacker with excellent dribbling skills and passing abilities. He can create good opportunities for the team and create scoring opportunities. In addition, he has excellent passing skills and Good vision, able to send key passes in the game to help the team break the deadlock.
Therefore, Arsenal's current offense is largely launched from Sanchez's right wing, and this time is no exception. Sanchez quickly advanced to Bournemouth's ribs.
Fortunately, Bournemouth had already anticipated such a situation and retreated very actively. Not only did Wilson Pittman return to defense, but Bai Ye, who had never been very defensive, also chose to return to defense during the first wave of attacks.
When Bournemouth withstood the first wave of Arsenal's attack.
The pace slows down a bit.
Arsenal and Chelsea are teams with two different styles. Relatively speaking, Wenger's Arsenal is more offensive, while Mourinho is more obsessed with defensive counterattacks.
For Bournemouth, what they are more afraid of is a team with strong offensive capabilities like Arsenal.
Especially when Giroud ran into the penalty area, both Elphick and Cook seemed a little uncomfortable. Giroud did not choose to fight recklessly, but was more flexible in his movement. If you are not careful, the defensive player will miss the ball.
Bai Ye is keeping an eye on Megil.
He knew that although this German of Turkish origin was scolded miserably in China, he was capable of becoming the main midfielder in a team like Real Madrid and Arsenal.
So when Arsenal attacks, Baiye is entangled to defend Megill. Completely abolishing his core organizational role in Arsenal's midfield.
Bournemouth has no chance for the time being, and Baiye is not in a hurry to attack, just defend!
Megil knew that he would be targeted, but he didn't expect that there would be such an annoying guy! He couldn't get rid of it, and he was completely at a disadvantage against Bai Ye. Even his starting speed was not as fast as Bai Ye's.
As a result, Megil had no way to get the ball!
Originally, Bai Ye's position is more flexible, and Bournemouth does not rely on Bai Ye's defense, so Bai Ye can leave his area at will and follow Megill.
Bournemouth had few offensive chances, but Arsenal also felt a little uncomfortable.
Bai Ye chose Dui Zi.
As the time goes.
Baiye and Megil both had almost no chance to participate in the game.
Megil wanted to catch the ball, but under Bai Ye's close defense, he had no choice at all. His teammates didn't dare to pass to him either.
Arsenal can only rely on the combination of wing and center, but without Megill, the operation is not so smooth. Not to mention grabbing the start, Arsenal gained nothing for the next ten minutes!
This situation was not expected by Wenger on the sidelines. He knew that Bournemouth's defense was not that easy to play, but he never thought that Bournemouth would waste such an excellent counterattack point as Baiye to use it exclusively. Keep an eye on Megil.
In this way, Wenger feels that he has not suffered too much. Bournemouth's only disadvantage is Baiye. He still had some headaches about how to defend Bai Ye.
But now that Bai Ye has chosen to exchange his son with Megil, it is absolutely good news for Arsenal's defense.
This way Arsenal can completely focus on attacking!
In China, He Wei said: "Arsenal's current offense lacks a formation, and Megill is that formation, but now this formation is completely destroyed by Bai Ye.
We can see that although Arsenal controlled possession of the ball and besieged Bournemouth, their offense was very simple. The wingers broke through and cut inside, or launched high balls to find Giroud. There were very few penetrations of through balls and short passes.
Bournemouth has experienced the full-field defensive experience against Chelsea, and now they are not so nervous when facing Arsenal. Judging from the first ten minutes, the players defended very well.
However, this also brings a problem. That is, while Baiye sticks to Megil, he also doesn't have so many opportunities to face the direction of attack.
He is Bournemouth's most important counterattack point. Do you want to keep the tie? "
This is also where many fans are confused.
In the first ten minutes, Baiye was almost completely invisible and had no chance to get the football.
Bournemouth had absolutely no chance.
Regarding this situation, both the Bournemouth players on the field and Eddie Howe off the field seemed extremely calm. This is exactly the strategic plan before the game.
Bai Ye had no distracting thoughts, just waiting for the opportunity to come.
Half-time games with offensive and defensive drills often seem boring.
Arsenal stormed, but Bournemouth held their ground.
There was no back-and-forth between the two parties.
However, as the game progressed, both sides gradually increased their actions, but both maintained a certain degree of restraint.
On the contrary, the fans at the Emirates Stadium cheered excitedly, and every Arsenal attack aroused their amazement.
Wow!
But it was twenty-one minutes later.
Arsenal fans were surprised by Bournemouth for the first time!
Bournemouth intercepted the ball successfully and passed the ball!
Wilson, who was holding his breath, moved forward immediately. He subconsciously looked for Bai Ye, but thinking that Bai Ye had been keeping an eye on Megil, Bai Ye would definitely not be able to get away.
However,
The next moment, he saw Bai Ye's figure appearing in his field of vision!
When Bournemouth attacked, Baiye easily got rid of Megill!
Megier wanted to defend Bai Ye in reverse, but found that he could not guard Bai Ye at all. He could only watch as Bai Ye threw away himself and thrust forward.
Wilson didn't stick to the ball.
He found the right opportunity and passed the ball to Bai Ye's feet, allowing Bai Ye to advance, which made him feel more at ease. He believed in Bai Ye more than he believed in himself.
After Baiye got the ball, he faced Arsenal's defense.
Paulista and Koscielny are the last line of defense!
The rest of the players were just like the Bournemouth players, lagging behind and unable to keep up.
Bai Ye is very fast.
He already felt like he was maxing out his speed.
As he advanced, he kept observing the situation ahead. He knew that such an opportunity was rare and he had to seize it!
Wilson also ran forward without any effort!
I want to pick up Bai Ye!
Arsenal's two central defenders are very experienced. One of them blocked Wilson's forward path and was faintly stuck on the passing route.
Another central defender, Koscielny, stood on Bai Ye's advancing route, waiting for Bai Ye to come up and see how to defend.
But obviously,
None of them had much understanding of Bai Ye's playing style.
When Koscielny was still thinking about how Bai Ye would break through him.
Something unexpected happened!
Bang!
While advancing at high speed, Bai Ye suddenly kicked!
Beyond everyone’s expectations!
The football drew an elegant arc and aimed directly at the goal!
Due to the suddenness of the incident, Szczesny was unable to react immediately. After Koscielny's reminder, he looked up into the air, but it was too late, the football was already rushing towards the goal!
