"Vieira has knocked down Qin Xiong!"
When Vieira returned to Highbury for the first time, most of the Gunners fans in the stands chose to ignore him.
They did not welcome him, nor did they hate him.
After all, he was the captain of the team for eight years and the cornerstone of the team.
Vieira had made countless contributions to Arsenal and could even be said to be a player of the era in the Premier League!
But when he wore the Juventus jersey and knocked down the current Highbury crown prince in the way that the fans were familiar with, the stands first fell into a brief silence.
Then, the Arsenal fans in the stands seemed to have lost their minds and made a collective move.
Boos were everywhere! It lasted for a long time!
Just as Vieira took the initiative to reach out and pull Qin Xiong up, he stopped. He heard the harsh boos. He turned his head and seemed to be able to see the ferocious expressions of the fans in the stands!
His body stiffened, then stretched out and withdrew his hand. He turned around and ignored Qin Xiong. He also ignored the yellow card that the referee showed him.
Qin Xiong stood up on his own. He was still very respectful towards Vieira, but at this moment, they were both serving their own masters. They had to let go of their personal feelings, so he did not look at Vieira.
What caused the hero of Highbury a year ago to become a public enemy in front of the familiar crowd?
Was it the sense of superiority that Arsenal was leading Juventus 1: 0 on the scoreboard?
Was it the team's favorite turning around and leaving when the team was at its most difficult?
Or was it the new generation replacing the old? Was it a case of liking the new and hating the old?
He couldn't explain it clearly.
Although there were stories of loyalty and betrayal in the football world, betrayal was always more glaring than loyalty. It was also easier to become the target of venting. And no matter what the reason was, an old person who left would always be misinterpreted or categorized as a betrayer.
So in the football world, it was better not to meet after leaving!
When it was necessary to reunite and revisit an old place, everyone who left had to be prepared to be labeled as a traitor and a public enemy. If someone warmly welcomed you back with a smile and applause, you should be grateful because that kind of scene was very rare!
.....
In addition to improving their defense with fouls, Juventus' offense was still a mess!
In fact, the more he kicked, the more he lost his fighting spirit.
This made Ivan, who was on the frontline, feel an indescribable evil fire in his heart.
He wanted to compete with Qin Xiong in this game, but now that Qin Xiong was showing off, he seemed to have entered hibernation. Even the number of times he touched the ball was pitiful, let alone play.
The top teams in European football all had their own coordinated attack groups.
Juventus was no exception, but there were key players who could not play!
Nedved was the key factor. He was the core player in the attacking group.
Just like Barcelona's Ronaldinho, Real Madrid's Zinedine Zidane, Chelsea's Lampard, Bayern Munich's Ballack, and so on.
Without such a core player, how much did Juventus' attacking group strength drop?
It was unimaginable!
This was not a problem of Nedved representing 100 points and Mu Tu replacing him would only drop 20 points at most. It was the concept invented by the Americans: team chemistry!
Mu Tu was not Nedved. He could not achieve the role of a catalyst, so naturally, he could not replace Nedved.
In the 43rd minute of the game, Flamini stretched out his foot to affect Camoranesi's pass, causing the ball that Camoranesi passed to refract and fall directly at Silva's feet.
Silva immediately sent the ball forward, and Pires ran forward from the left flank. After receiving Silva's pass, he immediately launched an attack on Juventus' defensive line.
Qin Xiong was heavily marked by Vieira, and Emerson moved to the flank to form a pincer defense with Zebina against Pires.
Pires suddenly dribbled the ball and paused just as the two men were about to form a closed-door defense. His pause confused Emerson and Zebina, who thought that Pires would pass the ball backward. However, Pires forcefully dribbled the ball through the gap between the two men after the pause!
Zebina, who reacted, immediately stretched out his foot to intercept. He did not touch the football, but it caused Pires to fall to the ground.
The referee's whistle sounded. Pires got up from the ground and passed the ball to Qin Xiong horizontally at the same time.
The free kick was quick!
Qin Xiong took advantage of Vieira's momentary distraction to directly use his left foot to kick the ball diagonally behind him.
Fàbregas, who followed up, observed the position of his attacking players before he touched the ball.
After Qin Xiong passed the ball, he directly plugged forward. His forward plugging run caught Juventus' defensive line off guard. Vieira was afraid that Fàbregas would dribble the ball forward, so he did not follow Qin Xiong closely.
Zebina had just gone to the flank to defend against Pires. At this time, after Pires quickly took the free kick, his retraction was obviously slower, resulting in a large gap between him and Thuram. Qin Xiong's running position was to take advantage of this point.
Fàbregas did not stop the ball. In the face of the rolling football, he directly sent the ball straight to Qin Xiong's running position and plugging forward.
When he passed the football, Qin Xiong happened to be in a parallel position with Thuram. He might even be a body position behind Thuram. When Thuram turned around, the football also rolled over. Qin Xiong had successfully reversed the offside position. Following the direction of the rolling football, Qin Xiong's right outer foot kicked the ball diagonally forward, occupying Thuram's straight-line pursuit route!
Qin Xiong, who had charged into the penalty area, was diagonally facing the goal. The shooting angle would become smaller as he kicked the ball forward.
Goalkeeper Buffon had already moved to the near post of the goal to prevent Qin Xiong from shooting at the near corner of the goal.
Qin Xiong calmly observed the situation in the penalty area, but his speed did not slow down.
When he last kicked the ball, Buffon was ready to abandon the goal and go out. He had to do his best to block Qin Xiong's shooting or crossing angle.
Compared to shooting, he was more afraid of Qin Xiong's crossing because Henry in front of the goal and Ljungberg, who could be outflanked at the back, were almost facing an empty goal.
Just as Buffon took a step out of the goal, he calculated the rhythm of Qin Xiong's crossing or shooting footsteps.
He thought that his step was very stable, and at least the outcome would only be decided in the next step!
Because Qin Xiong kicked the ball with his right foot, it looked like he would not use his right foot as a support to cross with his left foot.
He was right!
Qin Xiong did not use his left foot to cross.
Because in the next step, he used his left foot as a support and his right foot went around the back of his left foot. Flower Insertion Kick!
Was it to be fancy?
No!
It was to disrupt Buffon's rhythm!
When Qin Xiong used his right foot to go around the back of his left foot and kicked the ball out of the ground for a cross pass, he suddenly thought of a topic that was often mentioned in Fleet Street this season.
"Qin Xiong and Henry working together to carry Arsenal forward!"
He would always be very humble when facing this topic.
But when the sprint towards the end of the season arrived, more and more core players were needed to step forward, and his heart was no longer humble!
Carry Arsenal forward?
I'll carry it!
If I can hold up the sky for the Arsenal, then this sky is my world!
While Buffon was dumbfounded and subconsciously turned his head to look behind his body, he saw Qin Xiong's cross pass that was close to the ground. The number one killer in the European football world, who made many teams tremble in fear, used his foot to hit the ball into the half-empty goal in the middle of the goal!
The two kings of Arsenal directly cooperated again!
Highbury's King Henry broke the goal!
