The story between Qin Xiong and Arsenal was originally "we will not meet again after many years."
They did not expect it to develop into "it is better not to meet."
Many Gunners fans who still remembered Qin Xiong's great contribution to Arsenal hoped that they would not see Qin Xiong here today!
They could not produce a trace of hatred, but they had to watch their former favorite slaughter their beloved team!
It was a heart-wrenching feeling.
Most of the Gunners fans were already panicking.
The first half was not over yet, and Arsenal was two goals behind at home.
They could not help but think of Real Madrid's massacres in La Liga and the Champions League this season!
Would the Emirates Stadium be filled with blood and bones?
No one knew, but looking at the trend of the game, maybe the Emirates Stadium would be in ruins by the time Real Madrid turned around and left!
Wenger actively mobilized the players' morale on the sidelines, and the captain, Henry, also set an example on the field by retreating in a large area to participate in the offensive organization.
The players in Arsenal's team who used to work with Qin Xiong felt a sense of humiliation for some reason!
When Qin Xiong left, the media did exaggerate Qin Xiong's contribution to infinitely!
It was as if Arsenal was able to achieve two consecutive Premier League titles out of the three consecutive titles, plus reach the top of Europe, all thanks to Qin Xiong!
The change in direction was to belittle the contributions of others.
It would make them feel uncomfortable.
No one would accept it calmly if it were them.
Today, Qin Xiong faced Arsenal for the first time, and he had already put on a wonderful performance with a pass and a shot.
It was as if to prove that his role was so prominent, his ability was so strong, and his contribution played a decisive role!
They wanted to prove themselves and let the world see that it was not just Qin Xiong!
Don't underestimate us!
Arsenal's entire team ran significantly faster, as if they were sprinting back and forth at all costs.
In this era, the Premier League was fully exploding in the European arena, relying on physical fitness as a foundation.
When the opponent could not run, the Premier League team could still run.
You could say that the overall technical content of the Premier League was not as good as La Liga, and the tactical content was not as good as Serie A. But when it came to physical confrontation ability and the ability to run physically, no league dared to say that it could compete with the Premier League!
And it was this advantage in physical fitness that quickened the pace in the constant running, increased the enthusiasm to fight for the ball, disrupt the opponent's offense, and sometimes the game in a state of collapse in the eyes of the opponent!
They did not know what to do!
With Arsenal's faster speed, Arsenal's speed in the game, and even the defensive line players were actively involved in the offensive organization, and the overall efficiency of the overall encirclement suddenly increased.
Because they could not adapt in the first place.
They were obviously caught off guard.
The teams in La Liga still focused on technique and small team cooperation. It was rare to see such a large-scale team attack in the English Premier League.
As a result, even if Real Madrid successfully defended against Arsenal's attack, they made more mistakes when they changed from defense to offense to offense to organize the offense.
Qin Xiong was lying in ambush behind Raúl as a shadow striker. He also could not touch the ball for a long time because the ball passed to him by his teammates was not in place at all!
There were too many mistakes.
The game was played in an environment where Real Madrid was at a loss.
In the 42nd minute of the game, Heinze was intercepted by Eboue after receiving Guti's pass. He could not see the point of the ball and wanted to pass Eboue in a hurry. But as soon as he poked the ball, Eboue rushed up and successfully intercepted the ball!
Eboue immediately dribbled the ball in the direction of the end line, and Real Madrid's defensive line hurriedly retreated. Adebayor's diagonal insertion into Cannavaro's defensive zone attracted everyone's attention, and the defensive line was particularly tilted to this side.
Eboue suddenly passed the ball back to the front of the penalty area.
Fàbregas touched the ball before Guti, and then his next move was a pass into the penalty area!
The direction was the left side of the penalty area.
Real Madrid's defensive line woke up from a dream and turned their heads to look. In that space, Henry steadily stopped the ball with his chest. When the football landed, Pepe rushed over impatiently to try to destroy the ball at Henry's feet by tackling the ball.
But Henry calmly hooked the ball to the right and watched Pepe slide past in front of his eyes. At the same time, he swayed out of the shooting angle.
A kick was sent flying out!
Casillas was unable to block the near corner of the goal in time this time because the ball was too fast.
He did not have time to make a save.
Henry's shot sent the ball directly into Real Madrid's goal from the inside of the near post of the goal!
Henry's expression was cold after the goal, and he beckoned his teammates to pick up the ball to save time and prepare to kick off.
The Emirates Stadium was boiling.
The Arsenal fans saw hope and cheered for Henry at the top of their lungs!
Perhaps in this situation, their incomparably beloved Henry would make them further support and support him.
The double king combination disbanded, Qin Xiong left for Madrid, and Henry stayed at the Emirates Stadium, which seemed to reflect Henry's preciousness even more.
This time, when Henry returned to the midfield and brushed past Qin Xiong, the two men had eye contact, as if they wanted to express the same meaning: Brother, the game is not over yet, don't think you've won!
"Henry! Henry! Henry! The King of Shots, Henry!
Henry stood up at the crucial moment. Arsenal's King did not let the game go to the other extreme, and Arsenal finally got a goal back!
Henry's calmness had to be praised. He nimbly ran to seize the space, received Fàbregas's wonderful pass, and stopped the ball with his chest. Then he calmly hooked Pepe, who came to tackle the ball, and then sent the ball into the goal with a powerful volley. It was done in one go and wonderful!
There are still a few minutes left in the first half. Can Arsenal score another goal before the end of the first half? "
Before the kickoff, Qin Xiong rarely stepped on the football before Raúl. He looked back at his teammates and wanted to give his teammates some time to breathe, at least to calm their minds and not panic too much!
After the referee's whistle, Qin Xiong kicked the ball to Raúl, and then kicked the ball to Guti after Raúl passed it to him.
He did not directly run forward, hoping to help the team control the rhythm in the midfield, even if it was just a few more passes.
Arsenal, on the other hand, continued their frenzied snatching momentum from before, with an unforgiving momentum.
In the 45th minute of the game, Qin Xiong suddenly sent a diagonal straight ball in the midfield.
The ball did not have any rotation and rolled directly to the left side of Arsenal's penalty area.
After Sneijder successfully cut inside, it created a semi-one-man chance. He diagonally aimed at the goal and wanted to shoot at the far corner of the goal. However, he used too much strength and the football almost brushed past the top corner of the goal post.
There were cheers of relief in the stands at the Emirates Stadium.
Snede roared with self-blame, and then Arsenal launched an attack, which was defended by Real Madrid, and the first half ended.
The score shown on the scoreboard still worried the Gunners fans.
