It became 11 versus 10 on the court!
The most important thing is that we are one goal behind again!
The equation was only forced back to the midfielder position.
After all, football is a sport of 11 people on both sides. With one person missing from the running range, the only choice is to have his teammates come back to fill the gap.
However, this is not over yet,
In the 43rd minute, the old captain k6 also made a mistake in defense. In front of the small penalty area, he blocked the opponent's cross into his own goal.
Rennes leads 2:0! !
Watching his opponent celebrating wildly outside the court, Equation fell into silence.
This scene seemed familiar, and he suddenly remembered that Arsenal would have lost to Rennes 3:1 in this away game.
And his appearance did not prevent this process from happening!
Until the end of the first half,
Arsenal seemed to have lost their way and lost the initiative.
Back in the locker room, coach Wenger did not blame anyone, but carefully deployed the changes in the second half.
First of all, with one less player to play, the score must be maintained.
Only in this way will they have a chance to make a comeback when they return to their home court.
As a result, the team has no attacking midfielder and all moves in the midfield and backcourt to block the opponent's passing attack.
During half-time, in the Sky Sports studio,
Mourinho was invited to give a live commentary today. He is free at home and just has time to make money.
Sitting on the opposite seat was a Manchester United legend - Evra.
Evra raised his hand, pointed at the table, and said seriously: "We can see that Arsenal's lineup was severely tested today. They did not introduce players in the winter window, and then they were attacked by a team from Ligue 1. Team punishment.”
"The battle for fourth place in the Premier League has entered the final round. It's hard for me to hold out hope for Arsenal like this! There is a high chance that they will fall behind again."
Mourinho was silent for a moment.
He feels that Evra seems to be a little too concerned about Arsenal's future...
However, Mourinho still had another opinion and said: "I think the main reason is that the red card at the beginning changed the situation on the field. And the goal that was disallowed, the side I also think the referee’s offside call is worth discussing.”
"I have been coaching in the Premier League for several seasons and I already know the overall quality of Arsenal. They are very strong and have amazing players."
"Even if Arsenal's physical fitness declines, they still have a great chance to win against Rennes. But it is a pity that some small details ruined this game."
Evra frowned, obviously having different opinions on Mourinho's words. He was about to speak again.
But the host suddenly said: "Okay. We will make a final summary of this game later. Now let's take a look at the video replay of the first half of the game..."
But soon, the second half of the game began and the two sides returned to the field.
The fans at Rennes' home court are already cheering in the stands. They will be very excited to beat a strong team from the Premier League!
Now, Arsenal has one less player and is two goals behind, so they can only choose to shrink their defense.
During this period, Arsenal seized an opportunity to counterattack.
Saka burst forward from the side of the road and received a long pass from Xhaka.
Saka took the ball and hit the opponent's ribs resolutely.
Then, when the defensive player stepped forward to grab the ball, an inverted triangle was suddenly passed out!
Rennes' defensive line was instantly penetrated!
However,
Forward Aubameyang, who rushed up from behind, staggered. The opponent grabbed the ball and knocked the football out with one kick.
Aubameyang missed a chance to score!
Arsenal lost 2:0 in the end...
So, in Sky Studio.
Evra sighed and concluded: "Saka is still not decisive enough. He lacks confidence. At the last counterattack opportunity, he should hit the goal himself in the penalty area instead of passing it to Aubameyang in an inverted triangle. Arsenal Missed an away goal!”
"In this game, the Oriental was also in poor condition. Professor Wenger did not realize that the Oriental had not adapted to the attacking midfielder position. He was completely restricted by a French Ligue 1 team, so he did not score a goal. It turns out he still has a lot of room for improvement.”
However,
Mourinho had a different view and immediately said: "No! My reporter friend told me before that Fang's contract has a liquidated damages clause. If I coach the team again next time, I will definitely sign it without hesitation. Get off him!"
"Fang is a two-footed player and an absolute scorer. But now, limited by the team's lineup and the needs of head coach Wenger, he has not yet shown his true strength!"
but,
Evra naturally did not agree with Mourinho's statement, and he immediately began to refute it.
The host next to him was also happy to see the result, and he didn't forget to make some comments.
And after the game,
Arsenal encountered Waterloo in the away game, which caused quite a stir.
The Gunners' extreme fans are ready to stir up trouble again.
The situation has become dangerous!
If Arsenal cannot reverse the score at home later, then they will face overwhelming doubts!
The second round against Rennes is just two days later!
During this period, the entire Arsenal team was working hard to prepare for this game. Everyone wanted to defend Arsenal's home dignity!
March 4th.
As soon as the game started,
The position of the equation is still the attacking midfielder. Xhaka took the lead.
Seeing Saka advancing on the right, Xhaka immediately sent a long pass.
Saka suddenly slowed down while running, and then cleverly used a move to stop and pass, breaking through the opponent's defense and cutting into the middle.
Fang Fang ran quickly towards Saka to meet him.
When receiving Saka's pass, Fang Fang turned forward, but a defensive midfielder immediately came to cover him from the side.
Equation suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and the tip of his shoe lightly touched the spherical surface.
I saw the football rolling past the opponent's crotch!
He wiped his body in a flash and completed the crotch penetration effortlessly!
The whole place was boiling for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Equation chose to pass the ball after the breakthrough, and made a collision with Lacazette not far away.
At this moment, Rennes' defense suddenly became riddled with holes!
When Equation received a pass from Lacazette,
He has quickly reached the middle of the penalty area!
The defender didn't even grab his red jersey!
Goalkeeper Gobik's expression changed and he rushed out to defend him.
However, it's too late!
Equation kept hitting the ball and shot furiously! !
There was a bang,
The football flew up quickly, like a cannon popping out of a barrel, with almost no rotation, and set off the inner net in a straight line!
Wow——
The entire Emirates Stadium suddenly shook, and people screamed and shouted!
Only two minutes into the game, Arsenal scored!
The total score is 1:2! !
However, Fang Fang was not happy at all and quickly ran into the goal.
He returned to the center circle with the football! !
His teammates also knew what he meant. Instead of celebrating, everyone stood back up and prepared for the kickoff!
On Rennes' side, the players all looked at each other, but they felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, shortly after the kick-off, Arsenal seized the ball again and quickly launched an attack.
The Rennes team was so frightened that they quickly retreated. The central defender sacrificed his life to make a save and blocked Lacazette's slash to the ground!
But it does not matter!
Arsenal made a comeback two minutes later, pressing their opponents hard to attack! !
At the thirty-fifth minute,
Xhaka passed the ball from the left wing, and Lacazette hit the football in the penalty area.
And Fang Fang grabbed the second spot and shot cleanly, breaking goalkeeper Gobik's ten-finger mark again! !
“goooooooooall!!!!!”
"The ball went in————"
"In the 36th minute, Equation scored twice!!"
"Arsenal equalized the total score!!"
