Park Ji-sung's attention was still on Qin Xiong.
There was absolute rationality in his deep eyes.
He knew that if Qin Xiong returned to the center line to participate in the defense, it was almost impossible for PSV Eindhoven to break through Arsenal's defensive line.
Even without Qin Xiong, Arsenal's defensive line and defensive line were top-notch!
Judging from the lack of impact points for PSV Eindhoven's flank attack today, their only offensive that could break through Arsenal's defensive line must be brewed in the middle!
Therefore, Park Ji-sung understood that there was a big background for him to burst out with a forward attack: to avoid being entangled by Qin Xiong when he returned to defend!
Even if Qin Xiong's defensive interception skills were average, Qin Xiong's awareness was very strong, which he had experienced deeply when he played against Qin Xiong.
As long as Qin Xiong stuck to him, it would slow down his offensive speed.
The good news was that compared to Ajax's Qin Xiong, he was now more inclined to attack, which would allow him to charge into the opponent's defensive hinterland when he charged into the enemy's defensive hinterland. Then, when he switched from offense to defense, his starting position would have a chance to be left behind by Park Ji-sung.
Park Ji-sung was patiently waiting for an opportunity. At the same time, he also learned the lesson of being penetrated in the first half.
Vieira!
The defensive midfielder, who was unwilling to be left out and was not purely a defensive engineer, would assist forward in this game. If he also came up, then the success rate of PSV Eindhoven's burst of quick attacks would be higher.
In the 69th minute of the game, Qin Xiong dribbled the ball in the front field. His rhythm was very slow.
PSV Eindhoven was like a monolith. The defense in the 40-yard danger zone was very tight, especially after the goal was lost, which made Qin Xiong start to have a headache.
It was obvious that PSV Eindhoven's defensive strength was stronger than last year. It was difficult to make the same mistake a second time, especially when the first goal did not come from PSV Eindhoven's defensive weakness!
They also did not have an obvious weak point for Arsenal to exploit, attack, and destroy that point to create an overall advantage!
Vieira assisted again. This time, Qin Xiong completed a pass with him and completed a triangle pass with Ljungberg.
Qin Xiong pressed down on the right side of the front of the penalty area. He could not see a reasonable pass point and Vogel was blocking him. He chose to take a long shot!
Gomez, who blocked the near corner of the goal, held the ball firmly. When Qin Xiong turned around from the penalty area line, Gomez threw the ball out with his hand.
The football flew to the feet of Park Ji-sung, who was behind the midfield.
When Park Ji-sung saw the football flying towards him, he realized that his chance had come!
Now is the time!
He used the arch of his foot to knock the ball horizontally to the captain van Bommel, who quickly plugged in from behind. Then, he ran forward quickly.
Vieira was closer to van Bommel and he could not run back in a straight line because he could not run faster than the football.
So, he immediately burst forward to intercept van Bommel. He did not expect van Bommel to pass the ball diagonally back to Park Ji-sung before he could get close.
Qin Xiong did not chase back at full speed in this defense.
After a year of high-level training, his accumulation of game experience made him more sensitive to the situation.
He noticed that PSV Eindhoven's defensive line did not move and the full back did not come forward to assist.
PSV Eindhoven's offense only relied on Park Ji-sung, Parker, and Hesselink.
And he was a clear distance away from Park Ji-sung. If he chased back at full speed, it was highly likely to be ineffective.
On the other hand, even though Arsenal paid the price of Vieira's failed interception, it also hindered van Bommel from continuing to move forward. This time, PSV Eindhoven's offense was still outnumbered.
Park Ji-sung dribbled the ball to the attacking midfielder area. Silva blocked him from the front. Park Ji-sung did not dare to be entangled. He noticed the position of the striker, Parker, and immediately passed the ball straight to Parker.
The smart Parker's positioning was simply beautiful this time!
He ran directly to the middle of Touré and Campbell. This would lead to a consequence: Between Touré and Campbell, who would defend Parker?
Because the boundary of the impact zone was blurred, Touré and Campbell immediately went to intercept Parker from the front at that moment!
Park Ji-sung was looking forward to Parker making the right choice after the ball was passed.
Don't force it!
You've already pinned down the opponent's two center backs!
Pass the ball! Pass the ball!
Good job!
Parker passed the ball!
Just as he was about to be intercepted by Touré and Campbell, Parker's first touch of the ball was to pass the ball to the front left with the arch of his foot.
Hesselink had a chance to face Lehmann directly. This would be an excellent opportunity to shoot!
When the Arsenal fans in the stands were nervous, the PSV Eindhoven players, coaches, and fans were all looking forward to Hesselink becoming a hero.
Hesselink also made a posture to prepare to shoot while running in position!
Boom!
Highbury was suddenly filled with thunderous cheers.
The PSV Eindhoven fans and players who witnessed the attack, as well as Hiddink, were stunned.
"Lauren! Lauren's tackle ruined PSV Eindhoven's excellent offensive opportunity! "
Just as Hesselink was in a shooting posture, Lauren, who had returned to the penalty area from the flank, slid over the ground and shoveled the ball away in front of him!
At that moment, Hesselink almost gritted his teeth and wanted to complete the shooting posture and kick Lauren's body!
But his rationality drove him to stop and he staggered and fell on Lauren.
The shoveled ball did not leave the penalty area. Parker wanted to snatch it, but Touré was one step faster and kicked the ball to the left.
Ashley Cole ran forward and kicked the ball. The football rolled directly from Park Ji-sung's parallel position to his back. When he turned to look, he saw Vieira stop the ball at the center line, turn around, and kick the ball again. The football directly returned to Qin Xiong's feet in the front field!
Park Ji-sung did not have time to feel disappointed and regretful that Hesselink did not complete the shot. Extreme fear suddenly rose in his heart. That kind of fear would make people despair.
He could not defend against Qin Xiong again. Van Bommel was also not in a defensive position, and Qin Xiong was already in the danger zone that PSV Eindhoven defended!
PSV Eindhoven's quick attack did not succeed. They were suddenly beaten back by Arsenal's attack, and they were a little panicked.
Qin Xiong continued to dribble the ball to the right front, and Cocu quickly came to intercept. Just as the two were about to meet, Qin Xiong steadily passed the ball to Ljungberg.
After the pass, Qin Xiong did not plug forward. Instead, he moved horizontally. Ljungberg passed the ball back to Qin Xiong's feet. At this time, Cocu came to the emergency brake to defend against Qin Xiong, but he did not realize that the expressionless Qin Xiong was so calm and steady!
The moment he rushed towards Qin Xiong and was ready to kick, Cocu instantly felt a sense of crisis!
Just what he wanted!
That's right!
Qin Xiong reversed the ball to the right front, passing by Cocu's right side, and then Qin Xiong brushed past Cocu's left side.
The ball passed by!
Cocu gritted his teeth!
This was a f * cking wonderful pass!
Because it did not rely on pure skill to surpass others, but the impact of the change of rhythm of thought and consciousness!
Qin Xiong dribbled to the right front, passed horizontally, moved horizontally, and then started from a standstill, still on the right front line!
Cocu was toyed with in a series of sudden stops and turns!
Damn Arsenal's No. 11 player!
After Qin Xiong bypassed Cocu, PSV Eindhoven's defensive line became a frightened bird.
He had arrived at the penalty area line, and the enemy was at the gate!
Vogel slanted behind the running back, trying to use his body to block the angle of Qin Xiong's long shot. Li Rongbiao quickly retreated into the penalty area, and Bouma simply shoveled to block Qin Xiong's forward path!
At this moment, when Qin Xiong created a frightening danger from the right side of the penalty area, Qin Xiong calmly kicked the ball back. Trapped in a tight encirclement, Qin Xiong smoothly followed up with the next technical move.
His right foot kicked the ball back and supported his body. His body tilted slightly to the side as his center of gravity tilted forward, and his left foot nimbly flicked the ball up.
The football flew over Alex's head. As he looked back, he was horrified to see Henry running past him, following the trajectory of the football to the landing point.
Qin Xiong flicked the ball from the right side of the penalty area to the left front of the penalty area, close to the back of the goal. The defense on this side was completely empty!
The only barrier was Alex, but he could not head the ball out of the encirclement.
Henry took this opportunity to strike a volley, and the surface of his foot made sufficient contact with the falling football.
The football was unsurprisingly sent into the goal by Henry's volley!
Park Ji-sung closed his eyes in pain just as he ran to the back of the waist …
He suffered a huge blow!
Whose chance was that just now?
