Chapter 126: A Sharp Turn for the Worse

Conceding a goal in the first five minutes is not good news for Arsenal.

Especially at this point of Mertesacker, the problem of slow turning is completely exposed.

In fact, Eto'o is much slower at this stage than in his heyday, but even so, Mertesacker still can't keep up with the opponent's change of direction.

This is an extremely serious problem.

As soon as Wenger lost the ball, he turned around and shouted: "Mustafi goes to warm up!"

Mustafi got up excitedly and ran out to warm up.

Patrice came over and asked, "Should we replace Mustafi?"

Wenger nodded and said; "When Mertesacker faces a center like Eto'o, the problem of turning is too serious. The relatively flexible Mustafi is better!"

Patrice: "You can let Koscielny limit him. Mertesacker is still very useful in aerial battles!"

Wenger shook his head and said: "In this case, Koscielny's task is too heavy. Both Schürrle and Hazard need him to limit it. In this way, there is a possibility of a total collapse. To be conservative, Replacing Mustafi, as for the issue of aerial combat, in addition to Mertesacker, we also have Kai! "

Hearing this, Pallas nodded.

Lucky repeatedly demonstrated his ability to fight in the air in consecutive confrontations with Ronaldo in the Champions League semifinals.

Although he is not very tall, he can jump very high.

And his continuous jumping ability is very strong. He only needs to let Lucai retreat during corner kicks.

As for kick-offs and passes under other circumstances, Mustafi and Koscielny can handle them well. After all, Eto'o is not good at headers either.

Mustafi was warming up, and this change made Mertesacker more nervous on the court.

He knew that his performance had aroused Wenger's dissatisfaction, and he wanted to replace him.

In this case, Mertesacker began to panic.

At the same time, Mourinho also noticed this scene.

He immediately stepped forward and shouted towards the court; "Hit one more!"

Give it another try before Mustafi comes on.

After all, Mertesacker's point is now a relatively obvious flaw.

Arsenal once again pushed their formation forward.

Lucky also came near the center circle before passing the ball to Cazorla.

After Cazorla got the ball, he turned around and passed it to Rosicky.

Rosicky actually tried a long shot directly towards the ball.

But this long-range shot was too direct, and Cech held him in his arms.

"Rosicki's long shot! Too on target! Cech kicked the ball with a big kick! Chelsea is going to counterattack!"

Cech's kick was very elegant.

He flew directly away from Lucky and flew towards Matic on the other side.

Matic jumped up to meet the ball, threw the ball backwards, and directly pushed the ball in front of Schürrle.

Schürrle stopped the ball steadily and broke through diagonally to the inside. Before Vermaelen and Koscielny stepped forward to press, he passed the ball to Eto'o.

Eto'o took the ball and rushed towards Mertesacker.

Seeing this scene, both Lucky and Wenger secretly said, "Oh no!"

Mertesacker was even more panicked.

After being breached twice in a row, his confidence was somewhat dampened.

On the other hand, Eto'o is at ease.

Eto'o also broke through laterally, and Mertesacker blocked the straight-line breakthrough path.

Suddenly, Eto'o accelerated quickly and Mertesacker had to keep up.

But the next second, Eto'o suddenly stopped.

Mertesacker also wanted to brake, but his 190cm tall body didn't obey him at all.

While stopping suddenly, he awkwardly took two steps forward.

This created a gap for Eto'o to escape directly and get directly into the penalty area.

Seeing that Eto'o was about to break through himself, Mertesacker was anxious.

He subconsciously reached out his hand and pulled Eto'o.

The latter also felt a tug and pounced forward!

Beep! ! ! !

A sharp whistle sounded.

Mertesacker was so frightened that he immediately raised his hands.

Lucky also suddenly became nervous, and he immediately went to the referee.

"Sir, this is a normal collision!"

The Chelsea players also gathered around.

"This is a foul! This is a red card + penalty kick!"

Both sides were putting pressure on the referee, but Mertesacker stood there stupidly, his face a little pale.

The Arsenal fans at the scene were also too nervous to speak.

After a commotion, the referee pointed to the penalty spot and gave Mertesacker a yellow card!

"Chelsea's penalty!! After Chelsea equalized the score, they got another penalty! Mertesacker! This has completely become Chelsea's breakthrough point!"

Andy Gray shook his head and said.

The penalty has been issued, and Lucai tried hard to argue, but the referee had no intention of changing the penalty.

Lucky has no choice but to accept his fate now.

Eto'o holds the ball and walks to the penalty spot.

Lucky and others were standing on the line of the penalty area, preparing to rush in.

At this moment, the entire atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium solidified.

Arsenal fans, who had been laughing and joking before, were too nervous to speak, and the scene was completely silent.

Beep! ! !

The whistle sounded and Eto'o made a free throw.

Eto'o aimed at the left baseline, but Szczesny pounced to the right.

The ball hit the net!

Lucky rushed inward at the moment of the penalty kick, but after seeing the goal, he looked up and sighed, and at the same time waved his right foot in the air above the lawn in frustration.

"Eto'o!! Scored twice!! In the key match, the African cheetah once again helped Chelsea score the go-ahead goal! The drama of this Premier League title competition is getting more and more exciting, Arsenal leads, Chelsea overtakes, Will Arsenal let Chelsea win the title so easily at home?”

Andy Gray yelled.

Arsenal fans at the scene covered their mouths or held their heads, showing expressions of disbelief.

Mertesacker stood there blankly. He knew that his problem had caused Arsenal to score two goals, which made him both ashamed and annoyed.

Finally, Arsenal made a substitution.

Mustafi was standing on the sidelines, and Mertesacker knew without looking that he was replacing him.

This guy had his head drooped, his face was crying, and he was about to collapse.

"Etc., etc!"

There was a voice behind him, and Mertesacker turned his head to look over. He saw Lucky running over.

"You scold me!" Mertesacker said in frustration.

He also felt that he deserved to be scolded.

Lucky said angrily, "Am I so willing to curse? I'm here to comfort you!"

Mertesacker opened his mouth; "You comfort me, and then you tell me that you are comforting me?"

"What the hell!" Le Kai waved his hand and said, "Just watch it from the field, the game is not over yet, don't forget, what we lack most is tenacity!"

"Don't blame yourself too much. If we win the game, be prepared to treat us to a meal!"

Lucky shook his fist at Mertesacker and said viciously: "We will kill you severely!"

Mertesacker opened his mouth and looked at Lucky with a hint of gratitude.

Snapped!

Mertesacker high-fived Mustafi.

Mertesacker: "Leave it to you!"

Mustafi; "Don't worry!"

After coming off the field, Mustafi came to Wenger's side.

"Professor! Me"

Wenger waved his hand and interrupted: "No need to apologize, it's my problem. I thought the opponent's striker would be Torres, so I asked you to mark him. If I knew it was Eto'o, I would let Mustafi play. Don't have too many Feeling guilty, watch carefully, your teammates will lead you to victory!”

Mertesacker felt a warm current surge in his heart. He nodded, returned to the bench and sat down, looking at the court with all his concentration.

He secretly thought: Come on! guys!

After Mustafi came on the field, Lucky turned to Vermaelen and shouted: "Captain, shouldn't you say something?"

Vermaelen was immediately defeated.

"I don't know what to say, come on! You are the captain too!"

Lucky rolled his eyes and said loudly, "Guys!! It's just a goal. Let's recover this goal and take our time step by step! Don't be anxious! Look at people! Pass the ball! Run! We have practiced.”

"Let's get our legs moving, the game isn't over yet, we still have time!"

Lucky's voice soothed the nervousness of the players a little.

Yes, there is still time!

It's only 55 minutes now, and the remaining time is enough for them to tie or even overtake the score!
