If you want to use one word to describe Fabregas' performance on the court at this time, it is out of place.
When all the players in the entire Arsenal have temporarily abandoned the previous technical football, Fabregas still insists on meticulous pass control. As the core figure of the team, the football will continue to be passed to his feet for transition. But Cesc Fabregas did not quickly wrap the football around, but used his most familiar and best way to pass and organize, and called on his teammates to move closer to him.
This is obviously contrary to Wenger's simple side attack in the second half in the locker room. As soon as the football reaches Cesc Fabregas' feet, the rhythm will inevitably slow down. The players who attack on the two sides are ready However, they often cannot get the pass from the captain immediately, which makes them both puzzled and helpless.
After so many repetitions, a lot of accumulation has accumulated, and many players have dissatisfaction in their hearts. Gradually, some players no longer hand the ball to Fabregas immediately, but directly pass the ball to the wing. Then transition to the middle, go directly to the side and kick the pass.
Cesc Fabregas' possession of the ball gradually decreased, so he had no choice but to participate in the attack more forward. He kept waving for the ball in the middle. At the beginning, his teammates would still hand the football to his feet, but he still Not much has changed, still using slow-paced dribbling, ball control, and even breakthroughs, Arsenal's offensive ends at his feet time and time again.
Later, Arsenal on the field actually split into two completely different tactical play styles, one is to go straight to the side to pass the ball regardless, and the other is to use Cesc Fabregas and a few players with delicate skills, Adhere to the coordination of short pass penetration in the middle.
The two styles of play failed to combine, and they even contradicted each other on the field, which made Arsenal's offense even more messy.
This situation is extremely unfavorable to Arsenal, who are behind by two goals. The score is already behind, and their own offense has not improved much, but they are inexplicably messed up. How will they play in the next game?
Of course, for Villarreal, a chaotic Arsenal is naturally what they like to see, which makes their defense more comfortable, and even puts more energy into counterattacks.
"Walcott dribbles the ball forward from the wing, Cesc Fabregas raises his hand for the ball in the middle... The tiger ignores it and kicks the ball directly... The big Bendtner is suppressed by the Uruguayan defender Godin , took the lead to clear the ball with his head... The attack came to an abrupt end! The expression on the Arsenal captain's face is not very good..."
"Nasri's pass...Fabregas catches the ball beautifully and turns, he wipes Mavuba, what will he do next, is it a pass?...oh no, the ball changed hands again , Fabregas paid the price for his hesitation. Senna rushed up and scooped the ball away with a sliding tackle. The Arsenal captain lay helplessly on the ground, his face was full of disappointment. What was he thinking? Regretting his senseless insistence, or pissed off at his teammates for not helping him more?"
"I don't feel like there's a real Arsenal on the pitch, it's... well, they're more like two teams, one that insists on penetrating with short passes and one that sticks with deep crosses. ...Oh oh oh, what happened to Arsenal today? Were they stunned by the shells fired by the submarine? Is this still the gunner we are familiar with?"
The commentators had different opinions in the commentary, some were joking, some were ridiculing, some were joking, although the words were different, but the meaning was quite the same. Arsenal’s poor performance at the moment undoubtedly made everyone All extremely disappointed.
The cheers of the gun fans in the stands were also much smaller. They were already very pessimistic after falling behind by two goals, and the current messy performance of the team made them unable to see a glimmer of hopelessness.
As a loyal Red Devils fan who grew up in Manchester and watched the matchup between Manchester United and Arsenal, Keira couldn't help opening her mouth in surprise when she saw this scene: "This is still the Arsenal team I know. Oh my god, is this the kind of team that was able to draw a draw with my Manchester United? Is Villarreal too strong? Or has Arsenal fallen to the point of no cure? Good Well, I really complain about my Manchester United, at least the current Arsenal is not qualified to be our opponent..."
Bella nodded, shook her head and said softly: "Villarreal basically won this game. Even, most of their bodies have stepped into the semi-finals of the Champions League!"
Felisa nodded in agreement, and before she could speak, Keira suddenly screamed excitedly and leaned over: "This Villarreal is really good, I mean, Fan is amazing! He It’s amazing to be able to lead a country team to the semi-finals of the Champions League! Felisa, your Uncle Fan will definitely become a real man in world football in the future!”
Felica stared vigilantly at Keira, who was making beautiful voices again and again. Sure enough, this "fox spirit" immediately exposed her fox tail: "Well, after the game is over, I can go with you to meet him Huh? Ha, I want to treat him to dinner..."
"Go away! Stop daydreaming! Impossible!"
Felica glared angrily at Keira who was "playing her head and making poses", turned her head, held her breath and said in her heart, "When you meet Uncle Fan in the future, you must be cautious and careful, and you must not be tricked by this little fox." There is a loophole! Humph!"
.....................................................................................................................
"damn it!"
"Pass the ball! Transfer the ball to the wing for the first time, and launch a quick wing pass!"
As time goes by, the situation on the field still hasn't changed much. Arsenal's offensive is still chaotic. On the contrary, Villarreal's counterattack is more threatening every time. In terms of offense, there is a faint tendency to compete with the home team.
When the attack was terminated at Fabregas' feet again, Arsenal coach Wenger finally couldn't help but swear on the sidelines. With an uncertain face, he finally made a decision in his heart.
He can't let the situation continue to deteriorate like this. Even though he doesn't think his team has much chance to achieve a comeback in this game, he still hasn't given up hope of advancing to the semi-finals of the Champions League this season. He hopes that the team Being able to gain something on the offensive end will lay a good foundation for the next round of comeback.
But the current situation... Wenger shook his head in disappointment. Even though Cesc Fabregas was the most trusted and relied on player he trained, at this moment, he can only "give up" him temporarily.
"Aaron, warm up! You have 2 minutes, get ready to play!"
Wenger turned to face the bench, a handsome young player immediately stood up from his seat, put on his vest, and quickly moved around the warm-up area.
This young player is called Aaron Ramsey. He is also a midfielder. He has great potential at a young age. He has a balanced performance on both offense and defense, and his running ability is even better. As a substitute for Gass, he performed well in most of the time when he came off the bench, and he can be called the future star of hope for the Arsenal.
At this moment, when Fabregas is obviously in poor condition or mentally unbalanced, Wenger is determined to send such a young opponent player, and his intention is self-evident.He needs a player who can fully implement his tactical will, and the "disobedient" Fabregas can only be temporarily abandoned.
Arsene Wenger made the changes to unify the team, but before the changes began to be implemented, Arsenal suffered another heavy blow.
No.701 minutes, Villarreal took the lead in making substitution adjustments, and Riquelme replaced Mavuba.Mawuba received a yellow card for his previous foul against Fabregas, coupled with his running without hesitation, the physical consumption was huge, so the substitution was reasonable.
Removing a defensive midfielder and replacing it with an organizational midfielder, Pellegrini's intention is also very clear, that is to increase the team's control over the midfield. The game has already been played for this sake. The victory is already in sight, and Villarreal can make various responses in a leisurely manner.
And it was this substitution that completely plunged Arsenal into a bottomless abyss.
In just 1 minute of playing, Riquelme created a scoring opportunity for the team.Senna once again stole the ball from Cesc Fabregas in the head-to-head confrontation, and then quickly handed the ball to Riquelme. The Argentine midfielder had already observed the route of the ball, and the ball was just a straight push , the football was quickly hit to the wing.
It was Cazorla who kept up on the wing. Cazorla, who stopped and spiked the ball in one go, passed the full-back Clichy, and kicked the football into the penalty area without hesitation.
Fan Bizhuang sprinted towards the penalty area at high speed. At the moment the football fell, he jumped high, like a towering mountain, and firmly suppressed the French defender Gallas in front of him. Almunia's header roared towards the goal, Almunia couldn't make a save, and the football pierced through Arsenal's gate for the third time!
0: 3!
The big picture is set!
At the Emirates Stadium, on their own turf, Arsenal were beaten into a mess, completely cutting off the chance of a comeback!
The entire stadium fell into a deathly silence, only a few hundred fans of the visiting team were cheering wildly at the top of their lungs.
The Villarreal players celebrated crazily on the field, not only the joy of revenge for losing a few years ago, but also the excitement of half-footed into the semi-finals of the Champions League. Behind them, the lonely and dazed Arsenal players became their backdrop.
The famous French coach Wenger's face is still ashen and gloomy, but more helpless and painful.He covered his forehead with his hand and shook his head again and again. He knew that he and his team had come to an end in this game, or in other words, this season's Champions League journey!
