At the beginning of the game, Paris guessed the kick-off right.
Mu always passed the ball back to his teammates and went straight into the heart of Arsenal.
Verratti got the ball and quickly sent a through ball.
Di Maria gets the ball, and there are people around him and people in front of him.
Before being personally interfered with, Di Maria could only knock the football to the center.
Neymar happened to run over and cooperated with Di Maria's pass. Without stopping the ball, he kicked a shot directly from 35 yards. The football missed the crossbar.
Arsenal fans instantly exclaimed.
At the beginning of the game, Paris Saint-Germain showed off their frontcourt offensive cooperation.
It seems that Paris has not been affected by the away game!
The entire Arsenal team was immediately alert and guarded even more closely.
"It's so dangerous! Neymar looked good today and almost broke through the gate of the Emirates Stadium. PSG's frontcourt attack was too powerful."
Ron immediately started yelling in the studio.
Henry said: "Obviously, Pochettino made some changes to today's game. Icardi played as a forward, Mbappe and Neymar were on the wings, and Di Maria played as a wide midfielder and also as a forward. Being able to cover the attacking midfielder position, this offensive lineup is indeed very powerful.”
Equation has also discovered this change in its opponent, but is not surprised.
Because the opponent has no shortage of offensive players in the frontcourt, this change of formation was actually anticipated during the preparations for the game.
After the Arsenal goalkeeper kicked the ball, the two teams immediately started fighting again in the half, and the ball rights were exchanged twice in a row.
Sudden,
Arsenal made a quick counterattack. Lacazette got a long pass from Equation. He just turned around and took the ball.
However, Gueye stretched out his leg and tripped Lacazette to the ground. The referee blew the whistle immediately but did not give a yellow card.
The Emirates Stadium suddenly erupted in harsh boos.
Gueye's foul was very targeted. He was still seven meters away from the penalty area. Obviously, there was no chance to take a free kick.
However, Lacazette quickly got up and chose a quick set kick.
A diagonal pass found the space on the right.
The referee did not stop the quick set kick.
Saka started the moment before passing the ball and quickly caught up with the ball.
However, Kimpembe came out of defense in time and used a fierce sliding tackle to destroy the ball and hit the sideline.
Saka was in pain and slowly stood up, only to realize that the linesman had actually awarded the sideline ball to Paris.
"Why?"
Saka was stunned. He was tackled by a man with the ball. Does it still count as him getting the football out of the sideline?
The whole house instantly burst into loud boos.
Only then did everyone realize that the referee on the field was not just blind.
Kimpembe didn't care about Saka's reaction, he immediately picked up the football and threw it into the ball.
Football comes to Verratti’s feet,
Verratti turned around with the ball, taking advantage of Arsenal's still struggling with the sliding tackle just now.
Immediately sent a through ball to the Arsenal hinterland.
Mbappe quickly stepped in and was about to score a one-shot goal.
Fortunately, Gabrielle's attention remained focused;
He immediately stepped forward, passed Mbappe, and intercepted the through ball behind Mbappe.
This ball almost penetrated Arsenal's entire defense.
However, PSG's formation immediately pressed forward, causing Arsenal's passing space to become narrower in an instant.
It’s hard to have time to adjust the pass,
The football was snatched away by Paris again, and Mbappe quickly separated the sides.
Di Maria received the pass and immediately rushed up from the left wing.
Before being defended, Di Maria passed a curve ball that hit the ground.
The football went straight to the small penalty area,
However, Icardi, who was shooting from the front, was a step slower and the football flew past.
But from behind, Neymar rushed in quickly.
But,
Goalkeeper Leno was in a good position. When he saw the football flying towards the goal, he decisively stretched out his foot and blocked the pass.
Neymar, who was behind, held his head in his hands, feeling like he missed a hundred million.
Who knew that the goalkeeper's performance could be so good? If he didn't block it, Neymar could easily make a follow-up shot.
Ron exclaimed and said, "Yes, we can see that after the opening, both sides played very aggressively."
"It's going to be a suspenseful game."
Henry thought for a while and said: "Professor now has to think of a way to deal with it. Paris Saint-Germain has arranged a lot of attackers in the frontcourt. At the same time, the defense in the backcourt is also very tough, and Arsenal's counterattack is likely to be unable to maintain smoothness."
Fangfang quickly noticed on the court that the referee's whistle was very loose today, which may not be good news for them.
Moreover, Thomas, their midfielder, was obviously targeted today.
When Arsenal passes the ball in the backcourt, there will always be two people from Paris to interfere with Thomas' receiving position.
Thomas was in a panic for a moment. Before he fell to the ground, he could only stab the football out in a hurry.
Xhaka quickly ran towards the football, and when he was about to be tackled by Verratti, he only had one big foot to pass to the equation.
Fang Fang caught the football and saw Gueye in front of him again, so he quickly tilted his body to the right.
After deceiving Gueye's position, he pushed a football under his feet and instantly rushed to the left gap.
However, Geyer reacted quickly and turned around to catch up. He got stuck on the position of the equation and secretly pulled and pulled it.
This seriously interfered with the advancement speed of the equation.
He couldn't bear it anymore and could only fall to the ground.
This Gaeye has to pay for the yellow gem card, and he must also
That's just what Gaye wants.
However, the referee came over and only gave a verbal warning to Gueye without any action of taking out the cards.
The scale of this penalty caused the fans to boo and curse again.
This simply doesn't take Arsenal's home court seriously.
Fang Fang sat up and shook his head in disappointment when he saw the referee's decision.
Head coach Wenger also noticed the tactical foul committed by Paris Saint-Germain in this game, and he quickly complained to the fourth referee.
However, the fourth magistrate was inhumane and only expressed calmness.
Pochettino, the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain, looked a bit gloomy and waved his hand forward, signaling that he would continue to attack.
There is also a lot of pressure on him, because the aircraft carrier Paris is not that easy to drive.
At this time, Xhaka ran over and wanted to argue with the referee, but his teammates quickly stopped him, fearing that if he said a few more words, the referee would give them a card.
After being stopped by his teammates, Xhaka could only turn his back and spit out a few curse words.
Soon, Equation will kick the football out and find Lacazette in the middle with a diagonal kick.
Lacazette wanted to turn the ball around, but he didn't know he was being targeted.
Silva pushed forward and although he did not block the football, he held his position and collided with Lacazette.
Lacazette lost the opportunity to create a threat.
Goalkeeper Navas rushed to the penalty area and handled the football easily. With a bang, a long pass spanned more than half of the field and found Ikadir in the Arsenal half.
Paris has launched a counterattack again!
"Lacazette made a mistake! He didn't notice what was going on behind him. Silva didn't give him a chance to turn around and get the ball."
"Navas' long pass was very accurate and they attacked Arsenal again."
However, Icardi passed the ball to the wing with his back, hoping to let his teammates pass the ball behind him.
However, Papastathopoulos is also sophisticated. The ball can pass through him, but people cannot.
Papastathopoulos bumped into Icardi from the side.
Icardi was watching the ball coming, and he didn't expect someone to hit him. He instantly lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.
Beep——
This time, the referee took out a yellow card, which caused huge boos from the audience.
Seeing the very angry fans, Fang Fang was a little doubtful whether the referee could leave the Emirates Stadium safely today.
"Today, the referee from the Bundesliga did have a problem with his penalty. Several fouls committed by the opponent were verbal warnings, and Papastathopoulos received a yellow card for his first foul."
"This is really bad news for Arsenal."
Paris Saint-Germain received a free kick in the frontcourt, 40 yards from the goal.
It was Mbappe who took the penalty again. After careful observation, he shot hard with his right foot.
The long-range shot flew high over the crossbar.
.
Soon, Mbappe received a pass from his teammate. He passed the defense and cut inside again to hit the goal.
Fortunately, this low shot was once again held in Leno's arms.
Paris' frontcourt attack is indeed very fierce, and it has been launching attacks for nearly half an hour!
Arsenal have yet to take a shot. This is completely different from the first time we played against Paris.
Coach Pochettino's tactical changes did have an effect.
Arsenal's frontcourt, including Equation, Saka, Martinelli, and Lacazette, was restricted by their opponents.
Paris will either use small actions to foul or create counter-offside.
"Professor Wenger needs to find a way. They can't be so passive in the second half, otherwise they will lose this game." Henry reminded, "Although this is only a group match, it is related to future tactics. "If Arsenal lose, it will obviously serve as inspiration for future opponents."
but,
The Arsenal team still played patiently and did not become restless due to the opponent's suppression.
Thomas received the pass and once again sent a long pass to the right wing. This time, Equation suddenly grabbed the first spot.
His header found Saka on the touchline.
Saka used a continuous stop to pass and rushed further to the right.
However, Paris Saint-Germain had carefully studied the young international player of China before the game.
Immediately two people came over to help defend Saka.
"."
Saka made a fake move, and when he saw that the two of them were guarding very well, he immediately stopped thinking.
He quickly passed the football back to Equation who came over to respond.
The time has now reached the forty minute,
This is a rare attack for Arsenal.
Fang Fang did not raise his head to observe the situation in the penalty area. Because there were people around him to defend him, he could only face the football and use the instep of his right foot to swipe the ball.
With a loud noise, the football jumped into the air and flew towards the penalty area.
Then, Equation was pushed to the ground from behind by the defender, but he didn't care and kept staring at the flying football.
Seeing the trajectory of the football falling accurately to the left wing,
Fang Fang secretly breathed a sigh of relief on the ground.
"Fortunately. Martinelli is on the left. Fortunately, my transfer of the ball did not make a big mistake."
"Martin. It's up to you, Martin."
This should be Arsenal's most threatening attack so far.
Martinelli sprinted up quickly, jumped slightly, and then lifted his foot to unload the football.
Immediately, he moved the football inside and used his speed to avoid the defender.
At this time, Martinelli can pass the ball, but he hasn't passed it yet.
He faked a fax dunk, deceived the opponent's central defender, and still broke through into the small penalty area.
When everyone's attention was drawn, Martinelli suddenly picked up the football and sent a pass to the front of the small penalty area.
Lacazette was there, and Paris' defense was lured over by Martinelli.
Faced with this pass, Lacazette jumped up on the spot and shook his head.
The football then flew toward the goal.
There was a bang,
But the football hit the upper right corner of the goal and bounced out.
The whole place was instantly in an uproar.
Can this goal not be scored?
Lacazette held his head in his hands, feeling unbelievable. They were frustrated that for half the game, they finally had a chance to score, but it was wasted by themselves.
In this regard, Fang Fang sighed and had nothing to say.
Instead of dwelling on this great opportunity, it’s better to think about how to continue playing in the next games.
To be honest, he felt that he did not play well in this game, and it was only now that he actually launched a threatening attack.
A minute later, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
The score is still 0:0.
In the Sky Sports studio, Ron was already analyzing the game carefully. "The game can turn into this kind of scene. I think head coach Pochettino is fully prepared. They are full of desire to be first in the group. And Arsenal They were a bit unprepared. We can see that they only had two shots, far behind Paris Saint-Germain's five shots. Even Arsenal's ball possession rate was rare and they did not have an advantage. Who loses in this game? It’s still hard to say who will win.”
Henry was a little surprised at how serious and rigorous his commentary partner was. He thought he would only make people laugh.
Then Henry thought about it and said: "However, when Arsenal faced Paris Saint-Germain's attack, their performance was still remarkable. They did not fall behind in the score. It was still a draw. And their offense in the final period, Played very methodically.”
"Especially Equation's long pass transfer, which makes people feel very wonderful. In the fierce confrontation, he did not have the space and time to observe in advance, but he was still able to send a precise long pass to Martinelli on the left. This transfer, I don’t even know how he did it.”
"If Arsenal had given Equation more support, they might have scored already."
Ron watched the live replay and sighed: "Yes, I am still amazed by Fang Fang's performance. Although his teammates were restricted and rarely provided support. However, he was still able to With one or two opportunities, he created a threatening attack. As the team's attacking midfielder, this is already a perfect performance."
In the locker room of the stadium, both teams were sparing no effort to plan their play in the second half.
