Chapter 396 Unbeaten and Not Winning

Arsenal, which was already at a disadvantage, was even more at a disadvantage after Henry flopped. Several core players did not dare to do too much when defending, for fear of being sent off if they were not careful. There is no hope of an equalizer.

However, the reality forced them to attack with their lives, and this score was definitely not a result they were willing to accept.

The situation is very favorable for Notts County, so that they don't need to be too aggressive to get attacking opportunities, they just need to waste time in the backcourt. Anyway, as long as it is delayed until the end of the game, they will win.

Arsenal are very helpless for Notts County's play style, but there is no way to do it, but there is no football rule that stipulates that the leading side cannot fall in the backcourt.

As a representative of skilled football in the Premier League, perhaps the little skills under their feet may not be top-notch, but in terms of passing the ball, Notts County is absolutely the Premier League. uncomfortable.

The helpless Wenger can only let the team press on the whole line and press through the halftime, otherwise Notts County can really be consumed until the end of the game.

Of course, the effect of this may not be good. The gap behind them is used by Notts County, and they may lose the ball at any time, but Arsenal have no other choice. Who told them to fall behind!

Seeing this situation, Loew walked slowly back to the coach's bench. He knew that if there were no accidents, the overall situation was settled!

The Notts County fans in the stands were also rejoicing. They all understood the situation of the game. Arsenal was forced into a corner, and the team's victory was already within reach.

But just when everyone thought the game was about to end with this result, the real accident happened!

Several defenders made quick passes in the backcourt. Because of Arsenal's pressing, they had to be vigilant and increase the speed of their passes to avoid the pressing.

However, at this time, an accident occurred in a link that never went wrong.

The players were running non-stop for most of the game, especially the strangulation between the two sides in the midfield, which consumed a lot of physical energy. At the last moment of the game, it is not surprising that there is a problem with physical fitness. .

Facing Ljungberg's fierce pressing, Leiden Baines passed the ball to Westerman with a bit of strength. When the German central defender stopped the ball, there were also some problems in handling it. Henry suddenly rushed out like a sharp arrow and broke the ball. The ball under Westerman's feet went directly into the penalty area, forming a single-handedly situation.

Diego Lopez was stunned,

Hastily gave up the goal, blocked Henry's shot angle, and did his best to protect the goal.

But how could Henry, the world's top striker, waste such a good opportunity, with a light shake to get rid of Diego Lopez's block, and then push into the net.

Carvalho desperately chased back, shovelling desperately at the goal line, but only shoveled the ball into the goal, but was unable to recover.

No one expected that the great situation in Notts County was destroyed by one of his own mistakes.

When Henry frantically celebrated the goal, Westman and Leighton Bynes seemed to be drained of their strength and slumped on the ground. They knew that because of their mistakes, the team might lose the three-pointers they got. Now, they have also become the sinners of the team. You know, this is a game about 6 points. If they really lose the league championship because they did not get the three points, I am afraid they will blame themselves for the rest of their lives. .

The other Notts County players also felt very discouraged. The game was about to end, but something like this happened.

After waiting for the game to restart, Notts County's players on the field completely pointed their finger at Arsenal, aggressively wanting to beat them again, and even the defense was not concerned.

Arsenal naturally knew that there was no need to fight against Notts County at this time, and they all retreated to defend. Their only goal was to delay the game until the end.

At the end of the regular game time, the stoppage time sign raised by the fourth official made Wenger jump directly, because it was a very rare 6 minutes, even if some time was wasted because of Henry's diving, it would not have Such a long overtime!

At that moment, the name Ferguson Moment came to his mind. Could Notts County have the same preferential treatment?

Even though Wenger protested in every possible way because of his dissatisfaction, the referee was still indifferent, and Arsenal's goal on the field was like a small sampan in the sea, swaying in the wind and in danger of overturning at any time.

But Arsenal's tenacious will still allowed them to defend to the end. As Alonso shot a long shot over the crossbar, the referee also blew the whistle of the end of the game. Notts County and Arsenal were tied. No one could take advantage of the round of confrontation.

Alonso put his arms around Leighton Bynes, who had ruddy eyes, and came to Westerman, who was lying on the ground with his eyes blank, and comforted the two teammates who had fallen into infinite self-blame. Although the other teammates also Very sorry, but still cheered up and comforted each other.

Loew also walked into the venue to comfort his disciples, and at the same time led the players to the sidelines to thank the fans.

Although Notts County ruined the good game due to their own mistakes at the last moment, the result of the draw is still acceptable for Notts County. After all, they have a clear lead in the league, and there was no direct confrontation in the two rounds. Give the opponent a chance to catch up. As long as they don't make too many mistakes next, the league title is theirs.

Even if you don't beat Arsenal in both rounds, so what, there is no rule that you can't win the trophy if you can't beat Arsenal.

Moreover, the strength of Arsenal is obvious to all, and Notts County can occupy a certain advantage in the two rounds of the game, which is good enough.

David doesn't think too much. Sometimes defeating an opponent may not be the best result.

Just imagine that in history, Arsenal won the championship this season without defeat. Judging from Arsenal's current stable state, it is very possible to achieve an unbeaten season.

But even if the season is undefeated, so what, with the emergence of Notts County, Arsenal's undefeated season has become useless, because Notts County has won more games than Arsenal.

If the undefeated season can't win the championship with such outstanding results, what a shadow will Arsenal have in the heart!

I have to admit that David's bad taste is coming again!

Anyway, Arsenal this season is definitely going to be a tragedy, and it is definitely not something that can be changed by this two draws. (To be continued.)
