"2:0"
Head coach Huter was restless on the sidelines. He looked at the big screen in the stadium and saw that more than ten minutes had passed in the second half and the score had not changed.
Hutter made adjustments in the midfield to emphasize Arsenal's weaknesses, substituting Kamada Daichi and replacing Rod, but until now, the situation on the field has not been reversed.
At the beginning of the game, Frankfurt launched an attack for a period of time.
However, the Arsenal team worked together and the defense advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, which did not give Frankfurt a chance to score.
Facing the defense of a strong Premier League team, Frankfurt does not have many means of attack.
When they pass the ball into the penalty area, Arsenal will always get the first shot.
On the contrary, after grabbing the ball, Fang Fang was still able to hit the ball accurately with a three-man double-team to defeat Frankfurt's counterattack.
It's a pity that the young player Nketiah did not seize the opportunity created by the equation. He stuck the ball at his feet and quickly made the opponent defend in place, blocking the shooting angle!
Nketiah only shot in a hurry, and then the ball was blocked from the bottom line by the opponent.
Arsenal got a corner kick opportunity. Xhaka tried to send the football to the back of the penalty area, but was pushed out by the opponent.
Saka grabbed the football on the outside and quickly passed it to Equation.
The opponent's Allais, Rebic, and Rhodes immediately rushed to him. Fang Fang did not dare to be careless. If the ball is lost in this position, it is easy to be counterattacked.
Fang Fang suddenly turned the ball around. Alai did not expect this action and quickly pulled and tugged towards Fang Fang, trying to steal the ball!
The equation was pulled so that it lost its center of gravity,
He was about to fall to the ground,
He suddenly took a step and passed the ball with all his strength. The football instantly passed through the gap in the half court and rolled to the line of Arsenal's penalty area.
Goalkeeper Leno ran out easily. Seeing no one around, he stepped on the slowly decelerating football.
In the stands, the fans' applause suddenly sounded like a tide.
Under such intense interference, Equation's return pass was still so accurate!
It's really eye-catching.
Alai couldn't help but feel a little frustrated when he saw this scene.
I never expected that the opponent could kick such a back pass that penetrated half the court before falling to the ground!
However, Alai was still dissatisfied. He gritted his teeth and rushed forward, trying to keep up the momentum.
Rebic also had a serious look on his face and rushed after Alai's back.
Frankfurt's ability to reach the finals is largely due to this resolute and unyielding striker!
Fang Fang was not surprised and quickly got up and quickly returned to their half.
In fact, Equation deliberately kicked a half-court back pass across the court.
The purpose is to hold the ball and delay Frankfurt's counterattack.
The time came to the 70th minute, and under the guidance of the equation, the ball was still on Arsenal's side.
Frankfurt is still fighting hard regardless of physical strength.
After Xhaka fell to the ground in a fight, he chose to lie on the ground to stall for time. The purpose was to interrupt the opponent's momentum and let his teammates breathe a sigh of relief.
When the team doctor came on stage, Xhaka slowly stood up.
Fang Fang rinsed his mouth with sports drink and said to Monreal: "There are only more than twenty minutes left, we will definitely be able to hold on!"
Monreal's face was covered with sweat and he said seriously: "Don't worry, the championship will definitely belong to us!"
Mustafi's eyes became firm when he took the drink bottle.
This is the most critical moment in their lives. If they make a mistake, it may ruin the good situation! If you miss this final, there may not be a next time!
"We must hold on!" Mustafi thought to himself.
k6 saw everyone's reaction and quickly encouraged them with words.
Then, when the game restarted, Frankfurt got the ball and suddenly attacked Mustafi's side with all its strength.
Looking at the equation carefully, this is an adjustment made by the opposing coach Hütter.
The other side is determined to attack Arsenal's shortcomings!
Fang Fang had no choice but to come back quickly to help defend Mustafi's side.
They have two goals in their hands. If they are not in a hurry to attack for the time being, they can delay the opponent's attack first!
but,
Frankfurt worked hard and suddenly seemed to be favored by the goddess of luck.
Mustafi blocked the opponent's cross from the baseline at the front point, and then Frankfurt took a corner kick. Allais touched the front line, and the football suddenly flew to the back point. Rebic came over and fired a shot, breaking the goal. Arsenal's door!
The score is 2:1! !
"No, Frankfurt pulled a goal back, and the situation on the field has changed!!" Zhan Jun suddenly felt a little bad.
"Arsenal must push forward. This will allow the opponent to attack and accidents will easily happen!!"
Teacher Zhang also felt something bad!
In the stands, Frankfurt fans immediately celebrated wildly, as if they were about to see the moment of equalization and overtaking!
Alai quickly picked up the football and ran back to the center circle with his teammates, obviously unwilling to lose the game like this.
Arsenal did not blame anyone for this conceded goal. K6 was clapping vigorously, trying to arouse everyone's fighting spirit.
Mustafi patted the equation and said loudly:
"Fang, you don't have to come back to care about me! You are the core of the offense. Don't worry, leave it to us. The championship will definitely belong to us!!"
Naturally, Fang Fang also noticed that he had to push forward. If he wanted to win the game, he could no longer allow his opponent to easily organize an attack.
However, he did not expect Mustafi to take the initiative to say this to him.
"Yes, I am also behind, I can also help with defense!!"
Iwobi hurried over and spoke to Equation seriously.
Immediately there was a wave of emotion in Fang Fang's heart.
His teammates are far more united than he imagined!
Being able to fight side by side with such united teammates is more valuable than winning the championship trophy!
"Okay, we will definitely win this game!" Fang Fang nodded firmly and reminded, "The game time has reached the 80th minute, Frankfurt's physical fitness will definitely decline!"
"Yes, there will be problems with their physical fitness!" Iwobi nodded in agreement. Teammates know this too.
Immediately after Arsenal kicked the ball again, Equation did not retreat blindly and began to brew another offensive!
After all, offense is always the best defense!
Frankfurt tried to recreate the goal just now, and the whole team rushed forward together.
However, Arsenal will not be frightened by this formation. Their ability to reach the final does not just rely on luck!
Arsenal now know that they can only delay the opponent's counterattack. As their physical fitness declines, they will firmly control the situation!
As the saying goes, once you make great progress, then it will fail again, and then it will be exhausted!
Who knows when the time comes, Arsenal will still be able to seize the opportunity to score and kill the game!
Soon, Frankfurt's people really couldn't run anymore, and Hüter quickly made substitution adjustments in an attempt to continue to maintain the intensity of grabbing the ball.
However, the fact is that Frankfurt's bench players are far from the Premier League level of strength!
The players in their starting lineup are barely capable of competing with Arsenal.
The players on Arsenal's bench are much thicker than them!
Many times, the gap on the bench will directly affect the outcome of the game!
Seeing this situation, Professor Wenger also made substitution adjustments. Xhaka was replaced, Ramsey was replaced, Mustafi was replaced, and Papastathopoulos was replaced.
Ten minutes passed again, even though the score difference was already very small,
Head coach Xuter looked at the situation on the court with a gloomy face, and suddenly felt helpless.
Arsenal completely controlled the ball, and their substitute players all performed stably, giving Frankfurt no chance to counterattack!
Time is running out!
The people in Frankfurt were exhausted. Even if they wanted to persist, some players' legs and feet had begun to cramp uncontrollably.
The situation on the field is no longer under the control of the head coach.
In the stands,
Arsenal fans are singing loudly, cheering for the home team!
Under the singing of the fans, Arsenal launched an offensive again and put Frankfurt's formation into a very embarrassing situation.
Rebic forced a foul to steal the ball outside the penalty area, hoping to beat Arsenal's counterattack.
However, the referee's whistle sounded!
At the same time, the injury time of the game has also ended!
The score is locked at 2:1! !
"It's over!! Arsenal win the Europa League 2019!!"
"Congratulations to Arsenal! Congratulations to Professor Wenger!"
“Congratulations Equation!!!”
"At the same time, Equation also won the 2019 Europa League Golden Boot Award! There was news before the game that this year's UEFA will award the Golden Boot Trophy to the player who leads the scoring list!!"
"Viewers, we witnessed history tonight!!"
"Who said Arsenal needed to break and then stand up before? Wenger will not allow this to happen, and Equation will not allow it either!!"
"Arsenal has been successful this season, and we have also been touched this season!!"
"Let us cheer, this night is also our sleepless night!!"
Zhan Jun shouted passionately in the studio, feeling that the blood in his heart was about to boil!
Teacher Zhang next to him took a deep breath, and his eyes couldn't help but become moist.
Being able to see Oriental players achieve such achievements in the European arena also brought tears to the eyes of many fans watching the live broadcast.
"it's over"
"This long season is finally over!"
The moment Fang Fang heard the whistle end, his feet softened and he sat on the ground.
Obviously, he is not a ruthless robot, and his physical strength has been exhausted by this game.
Fortunately, it succeeded in the end!
Arsenal won the 2019 Europa League!
All the previous efforts have been in vain!
Fang Fang raised his head, feeling an unspeakable touch in his heart, and his eyes flashed accordingly.
Finally won!
Finally, we can bring a perfect end to this season with the Europa League championship!
Looking at the night sky in Cologne, I thought a lot.
It’s not only touching, but also poignant, and also full of longing for the future!
The cheers like the roar of mountains and tsunami are still heard in my ears,
The lights on the court are still lighting up the stage!
Saka suddenly burst into his field of vision, his eyes widened, and he shouted ecstatically: "Fang! We are the champions!!!"
Immediately afterwards, Lacazette rushed over excitedly, pulled him up with a hand, and laughed.
"What are you doing on the ground? We are the champions! We must celebrate tonight!!"
Fang Fang smiled slightly and nodded, "Okay, no one is allowed to leave tonight!!!"
Just as he was talking, several more teammates ran over, and then everyone pulled together in a straight line and quickly ran to the sidelines.
Finally, they waved their hands to the fans in the stands! !
A loud bang!
The entire stadium was once again in a state of carnival!
"Kamada-san regrets defeat"
"Abari! Fangjunsi Guoyi!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Fangfang for winning the 2019 Europa League! The strongest midfielder in the Empire in this era!!"
“Pressure Massenet~~”
Sakura commented that she felt like she would never fall in love again. She held on to her heart that was about to break, but looked at the end of the game and told the result of the game.
Sakura girl was watching in fascination. When she saw Mr. Fang helping up his teammate who accidentally slipped during the live broadcast, she exclaimed with joy, "Asashi~"
And over there in Frankfurt,
Alai squatted on the ground and didn't raise his head for a long time, as if he hadn't recovered from the failure.
Rebic looked at the sky with a lonely expression and found it difficult to accept the failure.
Daichi Kamada was sitting on the bench. He covered his face with his jersey and seemed to be crying.
Makoto Hasebe walked over and wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't help but feel sad when he thought that he also missed the Europa League championship.
The Europa League championship is undoubtedly an important honor. They are only one step away from proving that their playing career is also successful!
It's a pity that they failed to get past Arsenal in the end! !
The Europa League director showed respect and gave everyone in Frankfurt a shot.
Zhan Jun said with emotion: "Although for football, winning runner-up is failure. There is only the difference between championship and 0. Winning 100 runner-ups is not worth a championship trophy. However, Frankfurt is also amazing. Even if everyone is not optimistic about it, Under such circumstances, they made it all the way to the Europa League final! They were just a hair away from winning the championship trophy!!”
"But it doesn't matter. The players in their team are still young and have strong talents! They can make a comeback next season! Kamada Daichi, Rebic, Rod, and Allais, their future is worth looking forward to!!"
The staff on the sidelines walked onto the court and began to set up the Europa League award ceremony.
The entire Arsenal team gathered around Professor Wenger and returned to the locker room first. Everyone decided to change into clean clothes before coming out to receive the award!
The awards ceremony was naturally held in the center of the RheinEnergy Arena.
There is no need to go to the stands to receive the award first!
Under the live camera, Frankfurt's players quickly collected the silver medals.
When it was Arsenal's turn to receive the award, the players lined up in two teams and made way for them.
Everyone celebrated, and Wenger, the team's meritorious coach, was the first to step onto the podium from the middle.
Professor Wenger was very excited. He felt the respect his disciples had for him.
Afterwards, Professor Wenger was the first to step onto the podium, shook hands with Ceferin, the top executive of the Europa League, and received the championship medal.
This quantity is indeed much better than the FA Cup medals.
Then, the teammates walked onto the podium one after another, and Equation naturally walked at the back.
After taking the stage, he was able to shake hands and hug the senior officials familiarly. When he arrived at Ceferin's place, he finally saw the championship medal.
Fang Fang pinched the championship medal around his neck and felt excited again!
In the first season, the team was able to win two championship honors. This was a dream start for him!
He was about to step down when suddenly Ceferin stretched out his hand to stop him.
Fang Fang was stunned for a moment and thought, is there anything else?
I saw Ceferin take out a Golden Boot trophy from the hostess behind!
Equation’s eyes lit up! Is this the Europa League Golden Boot trophy? !
"Congratulations, Fang!!"
Ceferin smiled and stretched out his hand, shook it with Fang Fang again, and then handed the Golden Boot trophy to Fang Fang.
"Thanks!!"
Fang Fang shook hands vigorously, and then took a photo with his medals and trophies under the focus of all the cameras.
He just walked off the podium with joy.
With two substantial rewards in hand, it feels like his efforts have been recognized by everyone!
The teammates have been waiting for Equation for a long time, and everyone welcomed him into the team with a smile.
It was Xhaka, as captain, who lifted the championship trophy.
Xhaka came with the trophy and a smile. After approaching everyone, he suddenly raised his legs and took a small trot.
The teammates smiled and waved their hands cooperatively to make preparations.
It wasn't until Xhaka reached the front of the team that he suddenly raised the championship trophy high!
The teammates behind immediately raised their hands and shouted! !
In an instant, countless red fireworks fell down, and countless cheers rang out!
The most dazzling fireworks bloomed all around, with sparks like waterfalls! Like a dream! !
"we are the champion!!!"
Fang Fang held his Golden Boot trophy and shouted excitedly with his teammates! !
