When Qin Xiong scored the ball into the Juventus goal in the third minute of the match, all the spectators in the Highbury stands were in shock.
The Arsenal fans were naturally ecstatic.
The Juventus fans were a little dumbfounded!
"The ball went in! The ball went in! Qin Xiong opened the scoring for Arsenal! It could be seen that Arsenal adhered to their usual style. The speed of their attack was very fast, and the combination of passing and cutting caught the opponent off guard! Was Juventus still asleep? Or were they making the same mistake as Real Madrid?
Their running rhythm was obviously destroyed by Arsenal's lightning-fast offensive.
There were problems in every link. Starting from Mutu's interception by Eboue, as Eboue pushed the ball forward, Arsenal's attack increased the speed every time!
Qin Xiong's pass, Pires' straight pass, Ljungberg's cross, and Henry's shot!
The four passes in the front field formed a shot.
Buffon saved Juventus' goal once, but he could not stop Qin Xiong's shot from outside the penalty area after calmly bypassing Emerson.
Let us cheer for Qin Xiong with the Arsenal fans!
There is no doubt that when Henry is about to reach the 'old age' of 29, Qin Xiong has become the best candidate for the next king of Highbury. Highbury's crown prince has once again become a hero in a crucial match! He is leading Arsenal further on the road to the Champions League! "
Wenger waved his fist fiercely on the sidelines. The Professor was very proud of his tactical arrangements.
In addition to further activating Qin Xiong this season and molding him from an attacking midfielder to a number 9.5, there was also the surprise attack plan against Juventus in this match.
Juventus was too stable!
If Juventus were allowed to enter the game state and then work hard to break through their defensive line, it would be an extremely difficult task.
What was the home advantage?
The combination of terrain and people.
In the unfamiliar venue and atmosphere of the opponent, he had to be the first to enter the game state and catch the opponent off guard!
Arsenal did it!
Qin Xiong, Henry, and Pires ran to the sidelines to celebrate. After the three of them stood up, Qin Xiong was hugged by Henry and Pires, one on the left and one on the right. The three of them roared passionately at the stands and waved their right fists!
Arsenal might have thought that the game would be easier to play after the goal. At least Juventus would take the initiative to attack in order to score and give them more chances.
But that was not the case.
After the restart, Juventus continued to play conservatively as if they had not lost the ball.
God knows what Capello was thinking. Juventus looked like the football was running steadily in the backfield, but the football was isolated in the front field.
Arsenal's plan fell through.
After the successful sneak attack, they didn't get a better chance to counterattack.
But the new situation wasn't bad either.
Juventus did not have a decent attack at all. Lehmann was about to catch a cold from the cold night wind on the goal line.
In this way, through the successful encirclement and suppression in the middle and backfield, Arsenal could still get a lot of offensive opportunities, but every time it was to break the opponent's positional defense.
Unlike the English Premier League, which paid attention to close-in pressing and wanting the defensive players to stick to the attacking players like dog skin paste, Italy's defense paid attention to frontal defense and joint defense.
It was precisely because of this defensive feature that Arsenal could fully play to their advantage in possession of the ball.
In particular, Arsenal's players were faster, and Juventus appeared to be old-fashioned.
In a one-on-one or one-on-two situation, Arsenal's attacking players dared to make a breakthrough and beat the opponent in rhythm and speed. As long as the breakthrough burst could wipe the opponent, they could open a breakthrough point in the attack from a local area.
In the 21st minute of the game, Qin Xiong dribbled horizontally in front of Emerson and cooperated with Pires. He passed the ball and rushed forward from Emerson's side. He clearly felt that Emerson was slower than Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong received Pires' pass and pulled the ball back with his foot. When Emerson also braked, he started to dribble horizontally in front of Emerson. Before Vieira could intercept him horizontally, Qin Xiong shot a heavy shot at the goal!
The quality of the shot was extremely high and went straight to the top right corner of the goal. Buffon made a world-class save and blocked the ball out of the end line with one hand.
"Buffon's wonderful save! If it had been a little later, the ball would have penetrated Juventus' goal! "
Qin Xiong was very excited, but he wasn't too disappointed.
He had just finished with Casillas and was going to challenge Buffon.
My God, how many active players had such an opportunity?
Juventus' offense was still in a half-dead state.
Their offense was often ended by Arsenal's joint defense in the front field. Familiar with the fast-paced confrontation in the Premier League, Arsenal's defensive system was very surprised!
Was this Juventus?
Was it the opponent that was hyped as a strong opponent before the game?
I don't feel any pressure!
Fortunately, Real Madrid still had one or two superstars who relied on their individual abilities to give the defensive line a headache, causing dangerous things to happen in front of the goal.
Juventus didn't even have a decent shot at the goal!
On the contrary, Arsenal relied on fast and smooth passing and cutting to constantly create shooting opportunities in the attack.
In the 29th minute of the game, Qin Xiong made a tacit cooperation with Pires on the left side. Pires cut into the penalty area to cover. Qin Xiong dragged back and suddenly passed. The football spun out and bypassed the backs of the defenders Thuram and Cannavaro. It was headed by Ljungberg, who rushed into the penalty area from the back!
Unfortunately, Ljungberg's shooting in front of the goal this season was too obvious. His header flew directly into the stands. Otherwise, it would have been a beautiful goal!
"Ljungberg missed a chance to break the goal with a header from the back. It can be seen that Buffon's position is not good just now. He can't move to the back to block the near post immediately. As long as Ljungberg headed the ball to the back of the goal, the ball would have gone in. Unfortunately, he missed it!"
Wenger covered his face on the sidelines to express his helplessness. It was not that he loved and hated Ljungberg. It was just a pinnacle match. If he missed an opportunity, he might really regret it for the rest of his life!
Capello was a little stunned. Arsenal was stronger than he thought!
Juventus' defensive players were also a little helpless. Their frontal defense could not defend against Arsenal at all. They had to make more defensive efforts to be able to turn the situation around.
But how could they work harder?
They could only foul!
From this moment on in the game, Juventus' offense was not only weak, but also began to foul frequently in the defense. Only fouls could change the game from dynamic to static, giving the old Juventus time to slow down and rearrange the defensive line.
Soon, Juventus players began to receive yellow cards, and the scene that happened in the 35th minute of the game was perhaps unexpected by all Arsenal fans!
