Chapter 124: Home Defeat

, the latest chapter is updated the fastest!

"Mane is too uncalm! He was sent off with a red card. This game will be one man short, and the next few games will also be affected! Arsenal can only make adjustments as soon as possible!"

Yes!

Arsenal needs to make adjustments.

If they continue to play in the same way as before, Arsenal will definitely be beaten into a sieve with one man short.

But Arsenal is currently in a backward state, in a dilemma, which is also extremely embarrassing.

But Mourinho's reaction is much faster.

"Koscielny, Mustafi go warm up!"

Mourinho's expression is very serious.

He did not expect this situation in the game, which made him extremely anxious.

But he is the head coach, and he needs to play a role at this time.

For this reason, compared to holding a glimmer of hope to continue to attack, Mourinho is more willing to cut off his own arm.

This game is lost!

But the score cannot be expanded.

Arsenal must shrink the front line and start defending.

Under the condition of ensuring that the score remains unchanged, the exact adjustment will be made in the next round.

This is now the last resort.

However, Mourinho still hopes that Arsenal can hear the last five minutes.

In the second half, substitutions were made.

After Mane was sent off with a red card, Arsenal did retreat to defend.

However, the overall state became extremely anxious.

On the other hand, Barcelona played a huge advantage. The previous passive situation was instantly reversed. One by one, they rushed forward like chicken blood, wanting to score more goals.

Barcelona's attack was like a tide, one after another.

And Arsenal's defense line was facing a huge impact.

Lucky was also actively defending, but he was a person after all, and he could not take into account every corner of the defense.

And Barcelona specifically avoided Lucky.

This made Arsenal play more and more uncomfortable.

Winter!

In the 42nd minute, Suarez was again saved by goalkeeper Martinez.

Barcelona got a corner kick.

This time, Barcelona did not go directly to the middle, but chose to take a tactical corner kick.

Iniesta received the ball forward, and after a two-on-one cooperation with Messi, Iniesta came to the position of the ‘Messi Corridor’, dribbled along the side for two steps, and looked up.

He found that Martinez was standing close to the left, and immediately kicked the ball.

This was a lob shot.

The lob was the far corner!

The ball hit the dead corner of the goal accurately like a precise missile and went into the goal.

Barcelona expanded the score again.

The score came to Arsenal 1:3 Barcelona!

This goal made the Emirates Stadium completely quiet.

Arsenal fans looked at the stadium in disbelief. In the past, no matter how disadvantaged they were, this situation had never occurred.

At this time, Arsenal showed some signs of collapse.

The only good news was the whistle at halftime.

Finally, it was halftime.

The fans were anxiously waiting throughout the halftime.

They searched their brains, but could not find a suitable solution.

How can Arsenal turn the situation around?

Rely on Lucky?

This is the first figure that comes to the mind of the fans.

When the second half started, Arsenal made substitutions.

Koscielny and Mustafi came on as substitutes, and Arsenal clearly wanted to park the bus.

This is to lock the score and not lose points.

Arsenal changed its strategy, and Barcelona also changed its strategy.

Unlike the previous penetrating style of play, they began to strengthen their personal advancement ability.

Want to rely on personal ability to open a gap.

In the Barcelona team, whether it is Messi, Iniesta or Suarez, they can do this job.

Compared with the tactical play that requires cooperation, this breakthrough tactic embodied by personal ability is more suitable for cramped space.

Valverde's tactics hit the key point of Arsenal.

This also led to the fact that although Arsenal began to set up the bus, the breakthroughs and pressure from the two flanks were still endless.

However, Arsenal was also trying its best to defend.

The time came to 80 minutes, and Arsenal had survived more than half of the time.

As long as they persisted in the last ten minutes, the game would be over.

But the crisis often appears at the last moment of relaxation.

In the injury time.

Iniesta and Messi suddenly began to exert their strength, and the two rushed into Arsenal's penalty area like cheetahs.

In the narrow space, they squeezed left and right and drilled a gap.

In the end, Messi received the pass from Iniesta, and before falling to the ground, he swept the ball and shot it at a small angle.

The ball almost rubbed Martinez's calf and flew into the goal.

At the last moment, Barcelona scored again.

The score of the whole game came to Arsenal 1:4 Barcelona.

In the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals, Arsenal lost 1:4 at home.

This result made Arsenal fans and reporters at the scene a little confused.

Arsenal lost?

Arsenal lost!

!

After a brief moment of confusion, the reporters immediately became excited.

This is a shocking news!

The once prosperous Arsenal suffered a crushing defeat at home.

This news is too explosive.

They did not leave the field one by one and began to draft on the spot.

And in the stadium, with Kante's last clearance, the game officially came to an end.

The game is over!

The Arsenal players were confused.

At the beginning, they played well, but why did it suddenly become like this?

What went wrong when they fell to the ground.

They couldn't figure it out. The game shouldn't develop in this direction!

But this is already a foregone conclusion. Arsenal lost.

They need to admit this reality.

Lekai stood there with his hands on his waist, his expression extremely helpless.

The game turned into this, and he didn't even have time to stop it or do anything.

After the first half, Arsenal's rhythm began to mess up.

He was partly responsible for this.

If he could retreat frequently and press more actively, it would probably have a different effect.

But it is useless to regret now, and we can only wait for the next round of the game.

Suarez hit Lucky and the two hugged.

Suarez didn't say anything. This is not a good time to comfort him, and the game is not completely over.

Although Arsenal is currently in a huge disadvantage, there is still a possibility of a comeback.

Lucky shook hands with the Barcelona players one by one.

These guys were very friendly when they appeared as winners.

Once they lost, they turned around and went back.

Of course, Lucky can understand it.

If he was not the captain of Arsenal, he would probably do the same.

Finally, Lucky accepted an interview with the media:

"Yes, this is a failure! There is no reason. We played badly. This is our overall problem. Even if there is a personal reason, it is because we did not communicate better as a whole!"

"Even if we fail, I still want to tell the fans not to give up too early. We still have a chance!"

Lucky turned around and left after saying that.

The reporters were satisfied and began to write further.

When Lekai returned to the locker room, Mourinho was already standing in the middle.

The entire locker room was silent.

Lekai walked in and did not say anything, but went straight to his seat and sat down.

He could feel that the morale was extremely low and the atmosphere was a bit stiff.

This is the feeling of losing.

And losing at home.

This feeling is terrible!

"I will not blame anyone for this game, but I hope those players can recognize their own problems."

Mourinho said slowly; "First of all, it's my problem. As the head coach, I failed to fully understand the situation of the team and the loopholes. This is my dereliction of duty. This also caused us to suddenly fall into a huge disadvantage after a very good start!"

"Secondly, our overall mentality is too relaxed. It is a good thing to forget the pressure, but there will be problems without pressure!"

"The former can bring you better performance, while the latter will bring you failure!"

"This is the final result!"

At this point, a whimper suddenly came from the locker room.

Lekai turned his head and saw Xhaka sobbing with his head down, his shoulders shrugged.

In this game, Xhaka was beaten by Messi.

This is not a shameful thing, after all, many players have the same experience.

However, Xhaka felt extremely guilty for not being able to limit Messi in any way and his defensive ability was like air.
