Chapter Three Hundred and Seventy-Six Battle of the Golden Boots
"Damn it, I didn't expect Arsenal's defense to be quite strong. If they were replaced by other ordinary teams, I wouldn't know how many we would have scored!" Mascherano muttered while changing his jersey. , As a defensive midfielder, he can't make much contribution to the team in the offense. Most of the time, he can only be anxious at the end. <
"I don't know if Old Lehman has taken stimulants. Looking at his reactivity and explosiveness, he doesn't look like a 35-year-old!" Villa, who appeared on the field, also said that several kicks in the first half are bound to be won. His shot was resolved by Lehmann's defiant performance, how could he be at peace!
At this time, Loew clapped his hands, and after attracting everyone's attention, he began to arrange tactics for the second half.
"Sorry, Javier, we need to replace a striker! So you can have a good rest in the second half!" The expression on Loew's face was full of apologetic, but his tone was unquestionable, because he was the team's coach, he had The right to decide who comes on and who goes off!
Mascherano also knew that his role in staying on the court was not very big. The team was lagging behind and would inevitably replace offensive players. He was mentally prepared for this, so after nodding his head, he didn't look unhappy.
"Milo, I need you to be at the front in the second half. Whether you shoot directly or play the ball for your teammates, our goal is only one, and that is to break Arsenal's goal!" Loew called Klose's name again.
The German center nodded with a firm expression, this kind of game is the space for him to swing.
"Since we can beat Arsenal twice, we can beat them three times, can you admit that you are not as good as two years of yourselves?"
"A lot of people are waiting to see our Notts County joke, saying that our results in the standings are too watery, we still meet Arsenal, and we will not be beaten to pieces, and today, we proved our own. Here's your chance, beat your opponents and tell the world that we deserve this position and that we are the best club in the UK!"
Loew excitedly and generously mobilized the emotions of the players. Although he also felt that it was unnecessary because the players' fighting spirit had not diminished, he was still willing to add fire.
At the beginning of the second half, Notts County's offense immediately became solid. Because of Klose's appearance, the pressure on Campbell and Zeon increased greatly. Klose's header ability is absolutely in the world football. It is the top level, and if he is allowed to wreak havoc in Arsenal's penalty area, the consequences will be unimaginable.
When the two central defenders focused more on Klose, Villa, the killer hidden in Klose's mythical beast, showed his real power, receiving Klose's attack in an attack. Headed back to do it, an angry shot broke the door of Lehman's handle.
Goal doesn't seem to have much omen,
It was just an understatement after changing tactics, and even the players on the Arsenal field were a little dazed.
Is this a loss?
Notts County's ferocious and complex offensive in the first half failed to break Arsenal's goal. In the second half, it was easier to play, but instead scored?
For a time, Arsenal's players could not accept it.
After Villa scored, he jumped up and jumped to Klose. Although the two were rivals, and there were not many opportunities to play at the same time, as long as they played at the same time, the lethality of the Notts County striker would increase terribly. It is the effect of 1+1"2. Villa's goal is due to the tenacious confrontation between Klose and the opponent's defender.
There were boos in the stands, and Arsenal fans couldn't accept the fact that the team was equalized. They had already played defensive counterattacks, but why did the defense still have loopholes?
No way. Compared with Gilberto Silva, Edu is much inferior in both ability and experience. He cannot protect the back line better. Under the sharp offensive of Notts County, problems are inevitable. .
Wenger didn't look very good off the field. He finally took the lead through a counterattack, but was so easily equalized. If Arsenal's defense can't keep the ball from conceding, then what are they going to do against Notts County!
It was difficult to break the Notts County goal in the front, but it was scored by Notts County in the back. This ball cannot be played!
After the restart of the game, Arsenal's morale dropped to a certain extent, and the players on Notts County felt the most obvious.
Take advantage of your illness to kill you!
Notts County adhered to this principle, and once again launched an unreasonable attack. If the left side fails, they go to the right, if the right side fails, they take the middle road. Who gave them this ability!
In front of Arsenal's goal, there was a lot of turmoil for a while, and Lehmann made frequent rescues. He almost had the performance of the Ballon d'Or, but he still couldn't stop Notts County from breaking the door of his handle again.
This time it was still Villa. The Spanish striker showed his fangs in this powerful dialogue, breaking through Arsenal's door in a simple but effective way.
This is Villa's 16th league goal, and he currently ranks among the top scorers in the UK, shocking the world.
I thought that this season's top scorer list is none other than Henry. After all, his biggest competitor Ruud van Nistelrooy will definitely drop the scoring rate because of Beckham's departure. Even in the bookmaker's odds setting for the British Golden Boot, Henry There is only 1.1o, if there is no accident such as injury or illness, this o.1 will not be there.
But it is in such a situation that the whole world is optimistic about Henry, Huluwa Villa has refreshed the fans' perception of him with his goals one after another. After 16 rounds of the league, he has occupied the scorer list with 14 goals. The position on the list is two more than Henry who is in second place.
This game is not only a competition between Notts County and Arsenal, but also a direct confrontation between Golden Boot contenders Henry and Villa.
Henry completed a beautiful counter-attack goal in the first half, narrowing the gap in the number of goals to one, but in the second half, Villa exploded and scored twice, widening the gap in the number of goals to three, allowing all Everyone gasped in surprise.
Looking at Villa who frantically celebrated the goal, Henry's sleepy face rarely showed an expression full of fighting spirit, as if Villa really made him ignite the fighting spirit in his heart, he must get serious!
As one of the top scorers at the time, Henry had his own pride. How could he let Villa, a second-class striker who played in the top league in his first year, steal his golden boot! (To be continued.)
