In the 72nd minute of the game, both teams had used up all three substitutions.
Arsenal replaced two players with declining physical fitness, Sagna and Walcott, and replaced Gallas and Bendtner.
Monaco also replaced veterans Recoba and Gudjohnsen, replacing Dong Fangzhuo and Diego Costa.
The purpose of such substitutions is obvious, that is, the coaches of both teams are very dissatisfied with the current results of the game.
In Arsenal's midfield and frontcourt, Chen Tao has completely become the core of the offense. Under the midfield dispatch of young captain Cesc Fabregas, almost all offenses are dominated by Chen Tao, who chooses to distribute the ball or shoot.
On Monaco's side, Beckham acted as the midfield metronome. He gave more opportunities for offensive advancement to Wang Chuhe, and Wang Chuhe lived up to expectations and repeatedly performed well.
After hitting the goalpost right after his debut, Wang Chuhe's confidence improved a lot. He was very active in the frontcourt, especially his wonderful short passes, which always created great threats unexpectedly.
Dong Fangzhuo, who just came on the field, is extremely fast on the left, putting a lot of pressure on Arsenal's defense. The more powerful center Diego Costa also doubles the pressure on Vermaelen and Silvestre, although he is not as good as Recoba. The technique is delicate, but the powerful impact in the penalty area poses a great threat to Arsenal's defense.
Time flies by minute by second, and now we have reached the 85th minute.
Puro on the sidelines was a little anxious: "If we can't score at home, it will be even harder to play in the next round..."
Yun Sheng's expression was serious: "Let's see, the situation is changing rapidly, and we may score at any time."
Now the time has come to the 88th minute, with two minutes of injury time, the game is about to end.
Wenger was all smiles: "I can completely accept the 1-0 score, but I don't believe they can win at the Emirates Stadium? And judging from Chen Tao's performance, maybe we can score another goal."
Wenger's idea is indeed good. Now Monaco is under great pressure, and Wang Chuhe is back to defend.
Beckham called him back, but Wang Chuhe shook his head: "I haven't played for a long time, and my physical condition is very good. I can also counterattack, so don't worry."
Just as he was talking, Chen Tao launched another attack. Seeing that Wang Chuhe was not very defensive, he rushed towards Wang Chuhe with the ball!
Chen Tao looked at his junior and recalled Yun Sheng's evaluation of the two people. Chen Tao felt that Yun Sheng was actually more optimistic about Wang Chuhe.
Even if you are a player trained by the European youth training system, even if you are very talented, at this moment, you are not as good as me!
Chen Tao advanced quickly with the ball, making continuous fake movements with his feet, preparing to break through Wang Chuhe!
Wang Chuhe even pressed down and kept his center of gravity stable, preventing Chen Tao from getting a chance to break through from the wing.
Chen Tao's eyes lit up. Wang Chuhe's center of gravity on the right side was a little unstable!
He suddenly took the ball and dunked it to the right, passing Wang Chuhe!
As long as he takes a few more steps forward, he can face the defender alone, and then...
Chen Tao was rejoicing when he unexpectedly kicked the ball out from the side!
It's Flamini!
Unexpectedly, Wang Chuhe deliberately leaked Flamini's defensive position to Chen Tao just now, luring Chen Tao to move to Flamini's side.
Wang Chuhe was happy in his heart, Brother Chen, although I am not as skilled as you, I have the support of my teammates and they can all help me!
Wang Chuhe thought in his heart, and with his footwork stable, he suddenly accelerated forward and broke through Arsenal's midfield line!
The ball that Flamini poked out was caught by Beckham. Without hesitation, Beckham made a precise pass straight to Wang Chuhe in the frontcourt!
"Chen Tao's dribbling was interrupted by the opponent! Monaco's attack launched again!"
"Wang Chuhe received a pass from Beckham and came to the penalty area!"
"Vermaelen and Sagna are rushing forward, will he choose to shoot directly?"
"Wang Chuhe's ankle flicked, and the ball entered the penalty area diagonally! Sylvester rushed forward quickly!"
"Dong Fangzhuo is faster! He takes the lead and shoots from a small angle!"
"The ball went in!!!"
"When the game entered stoppage time, Monaco made a wonderful counterattack, with Wang Chuhe assisting and Dong Fangzhuo shooting, jointly helping the team equalize the score!"
"In this way, Monaco equalized the total score and his disadvantage no longer exists!"
The moment the ball hit the net, the Louis II Stadium erupted again!
After Arsenal scored, Monaco fans fell silent for a while. Although they kept cheering for the team they supported, the pressure of falling behind made everyone extremely anxious.
Well now, the score is evened and both sides are back on the same starting line!
In the live broadcast room, Octave was still shouting excitedly: "Guys, we were so good in this game! Although Chen Tao made a sneak attack and conceded a goal, the final goal was definitely world-class. ! From rushing to the defense, stealing the ball, to switching offense and defense in an instant, and scoring a goal, the ball only takes about ten seconds!"
On the sidelines, Puro had already hugged the coaching staff, and Yun Sheng was also smiling and applauding.
Wang Chuhe, I did not misjudge you, I really belong to you!
At this time on the court, Wang Chuhe ran towards Beckham and hugged the heartthrob tightly.
"David, thank you for the precise pass you gave me, it was fantastic!"
"Haha, you handled it well. But if possible next time, you can also choose to kick it yourself. That position is within your range, you are fine."
"I feel like I'm more confident in passing the ball, but I listen to you. I'll try to shoot more next time!"
A minute later, the game restarted, and soon the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
This sparkling, beautifully played game ended in a 1-1 draw between the two teams.
Judging from this score, it does not reflect the intensity of this game at all, and for both teams, they are not satisfied with this game.
The game was over. Yun Sheng walked towards Wenger and shook hands with him in a friendly way: "Professor, we almost lost at home. Your coaching ability is so strong and admirable."
"Don't say that. Monaco was able to equalize the score at the last moment because of the substitute players you put on the field. You are very good." Wenger said seriously.
"Since we all have regrets about this game, I am now looking forward to the second round. I hope that I can see more beautiful artistic football in the Emirates Stadium, and then we can play another good game! "
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you in London. Let's compete in the second round!"
