Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool, who are leading the group, have entered a fierce competition. The third-ranked Liverpool leads Arsenal scored 15 points.

Along the way, Arsenal achieved 5 wins and 1 tie in the group stage, then eliminated Real Madrid 1:0 in two rounds, and eliminated Werder Bremen 3:0 in two rounds. They only conceded one goal in eight games. They are very good, and they have become one of the favorites to win the championship.

It is also the top four of the Champions League, and it is also facing the Premier League team. It is difficult for Inter Milan not to think of the shadow of last year's failure, but the difference from last year is that everyone has no pressure from the league and can give it a go without any scruples.

In the dressing room before the match, Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger was busy making the final tactical explanation. He knew that on the offensive end, Arsenal could compete with Inter Milan for the possession of the ball. After connecting the front and back courts, Ljungberg appropriately retreated to the front midfielder position, putting Henry at the forefront, which was enough to cause fatal damage.

As for the defensive end, Wenger glanced at Toure and Campbell, who immediately held their heads high and looked at the head coach imposingly. The Frenchman showed a satisfied smile: "I need you two to contain Wang Feng, don't be afraid of him." , because you can face Drogba and Ruud van Nistelrooy alone, and now the two of you will be able to freeze the Chinese."

Toure and Campbell nodded heavily. Both of them are the core of the Premier League's defense. Now the joint defense Wang Feng, no matter for the team or for his own dignity, will never allow him to wreak havoc at will.

After the start of the game, the home team, Arsenal, launched a rush towards Inter Milan's defense amidst the cheers of the fans. Hleb broke through from the side and passed a pass into the penalty area. Henry got rid of Samuel's defense and headed at close range. The ball hits the goal.

Fortunately, the top of the ball was relatively straight, right in Toldo's arms. The powerful ball forced him to lie down and press the ball under his body to avoid a buttery hand error. This made the Frenchman who was about to make a follow-up shot quite depressed. .

Soon Arsenal made a comeback again. Gilberto's through ball made Henry in the penalty area almost single-handedly. Unfortunately, after making some adjustments, he hit the goal and was blocked by Cordoba from the bottom line.

Inter Milan was not always passively beaten. In the 17th minute, they seized a chance to defend and counterattack. After Zanetti slanted into the defense line, Wang Feng struggled to catch up with the ball and chose to cross. Adriano, who followed up in the middle, failed. Even when it came to the landing point, the ball slid past the goal.

Adriano in front of the goal shook his head, his speed was indeed not fast enough, and Wang Feng in the distance also sighed, the joint defense formed by Toure and Campbell put a lot of pressure on him, he could only double-team He rushed out before, otherwise he would have to pass back and land in a positional battle if he fell into a double-team.

"You won't have any chances in this match!" Campbell, who was close to Wang Feng, vowed, while Toure not far away stared at him kindly, ready to defend at any time.

Wang Feng showed a harmless smile to humans and animals. It seems that he can only walk them for a while, and then wait for the opportunity to find opportunities.

Before halftime, Wang Feng received the ball with his back in the frontcourt, carried Campbell's confrontation, turned around and dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Facing Toure's double-team, he still firmly protected the ball under his feet .

Seeing this, another guard, Ai Buai, was very nervous. According to the data, Wang Feng was very threatening in the penalty area, and it was not safe for two people to double-team him, so he couldn't help but move to his side.

At this moment, Wang Feng suddenly saw the right time and pushed the ball across to Adriano's feet. Aibo was shocked. His attention was attracted by the Chinese striker and he completely lost his defensive position.

He desperately returned to his position and prayed that the opponent's offense would be unfavorable. God seemed to hear his voice. The unmarked Brazilian kicked an anti-aircraft gun and sent the ball directly to the Arsenal fans in the stands.

After missing the opportunity, Adriano shook his head angrily. He was really in a bad state today. When he passed by Wang Feng, he bowed down and apologized. Wang Feng patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, don't be discouraged, we still have a chance! "

.........

After changing sides to fight again, Inter Milan strengthened the confrontation in the midfield, and Wang Feng retreated frequently to respond. In the 52nd minute, Wang Feng, who was holding the ball in the midfield, dribbled the ball and attacked by himself. When he came to the 35-meter area, he suddenly slowed down and waited for his teammates. plug in.

Campbell, who was following the defense, stretched his legs at the right time, but Wang Feng had already predicted his intention through his body movements, so he suddenly accelerated and avoided the steal~lightnovelpub.net~ By the way, he got rid of Asen who lost his balance after the steal failed Na defender.

"Aibo's defensive choice is not wrong. Toure also defended from the side at the first time, but Wang Feng can seize this opportunity in less than a second and send the ball into the opponent's goal!"

"Like Henry's long shot, this is an out-and-out giant planet!"
