Chapter 377 A Penalty Kick at the Last Moment

When Notts County equalized the score, although David was excited, he still restrained his emotions and sat firmly on the coach's bench without much action. But when Notts County overtook the score, David couldn't control his excitement. If the assistant coach didn't stop him, he would have rushed to the field to celebrate the goal with the players!

Your own team is competitive, so what if it is as strong as the giants Arsenal, so what if you are unbeaten in 49 games, Notts County today made your record come to naught.

After the game restarted, Arsenal had no choice but to attack. In the second half of the game, there was not much time left for them, and they were absolutely unwilling to lose when they were behind.

However, after the confrontation at the beginning of the game, Arsenal also knew very well that their positional offense often failed to pose too much threat to Notts County, because the lineup was not complete, resulting in many tactics not being able to take shape. Fabregas's The immaturity dragged down the team as a whole. If they just attacked like this without thinking, they might be chased and spanked by Notts County.

Isn’t Notts County’s previous tactics quite good? Although Arsenal can play pleasing and gorgeous football, it’s not that they can’t play some low-level players. After all, as an English club, how can they lose their ability to see? So, Arsenal After playing for a while, I also played a simple high-altitude ball.

Henry is a very comprehensive center forward. Although his body looks very thin, as long as he is not a heavyweight central defender, he will not suffer too much in confrontation. With him as the fulcrum, at least Arsenal's threat will be greatly improved.

The most important thing is that this kind of play seems to activate Fabregas. When he does not need to pass the threatening ball, Notts County will not be so strict with him, and Mascherano's end will also let him have Enough space, often the frontcourt creates a threat to Notts County's goal.

So, at this time, the two teams once again returned to the offensive situation, but the offensive methods of both sides have become primitive and rough, more like a bayonet contest between two low-level English teams.

The two sides played very entangled and fierce, and the speed of offensive and defensive transitions was dizzying. Only this most primitive contest can make England fans release the most passionate emotions from the depths of their hearts.

The fans didn't dare to blink, for fear of missing any wonderful shots.

However, the game was fierce and fierce, but no more goals were scored for a long time. As time passed, the situation became more and more unfavorable for Arsenal, who were playing at home.

The Gunners don't want to lose the game at home. After losing, the points gap between them and Notts County will reach 9 points. This is by no means a gap that can be easily caught up.

Even speaking, Arsenal no longer want to win extravagantly. As long as they can score a goal at the last moment to draw with Notts County and prevent Notts County from expanding their points advantage, it will be the best result.

There are 5 minutes left in the regular time of the game. Arsenal have completely given up defense and pressed the offense across the board. Notts County has no intention of attacking, and slowly retreats to a well-organized defense. As long as they defend until the end of the game, then they will Victorious.

Henry kept running in the penalty area, and sometimes he needed to compete for the header. The advantage needed to rely on the Notts County defender to get the ball with his back, but he had no chance to start directly forward. He felt extremely anxious in his heart. Every player wants to score goals.

Once again, the header went above the crossbar under the interference of the Notts County players. Henry leaned on his knees with a frustrated expression and began to pant heavily. There was not much energy left, and he felt more and more weak.

At this time, the substitute players of both sides had already involuntarily stood on the sidelines and stared at the situation on the field, even feeling more anxious than the players on the field.

The referee was already looking at his watch from time to time, and half of the 3 minutes of stoppage time in the second half had passed, and it was close to announcing Arsenal's death sentence.

Pires dribbled the ball from the wing, and this was probably Arsenal's last attack, and he couldn't help but be careless.

Cesc Fabregas asked in the middle, and although Pires didn't want to pass to this little guy who was acting like a disaster, who made him Wenger's favorite young player, so the French wing passed the ball in the middle.

Although Xiaofa didn't have much experience, he was talented after all. After adjusting the whole game, he was not so embarrassed at this time. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and rubbed lightly against the incoming ball. The ball passed Carvalho's defense and directly Flew to the front of Henry.

It was such a creative pass that even David couldn't help but want to applaud Fabio.

However, there is a slight fly in the ointment. The strength of this ball is not very good, and it is too close to the bottom line. When Henry catches up with the ball, the ball has barely reached the bottom line.

Although the angle is very small, the defensive players of Notts County are still facing the enemy. A superstar like Henry has the ability to change the result of the game at any time. No one dares to be careless. Carvalho is close to him, blocking Henry from the side. Space.

Just when everyone thought that Henry could not make a fuss in a narrow angle, the French striker suddenly made an acrobatic movement, holding the ball between his feet like a rainbow, as if he wanted to use this method to win in the Northeast. Like creating scoring chances in the penalty area of ​​Ci County.

Carvalho involuntarily raised his head to look at the ball flying into the air, but suddenly found that Henry seemed to pass through from his left side, and subconsciously made a blocking movement, but in an instant, he retracted his movement again, Because he knows that this is a restricted area, and if there is physical contact, it is easy to be deformed by the referee. At this point in the game, he doesn't want to ruin the team's good situation because of his mistakes.

What he never expected was that, instead of looking for things, things would come to him.

He had already retracted his movements, but Henry took the initiative to bump into him, and then in the derivation of his surprise, the Arsenal center fell to the ground exaggeratedly, then sat up and opened his hands with an extremely angry expression.

Just when the players on both sides hadn't reacted, the referee's whistle decisively remembered that under all the gazes, the referee's finger pointed to the penalty spot, and he awarded Arsenal a penalty!

The Highbury Stadium fell into silence, but in the next second, there was an earthquake-like fluctuation. The fans were so excited that they didn't even know their own names.

Henry happily got up from the ground and celebrated with his teammates. They couldn't understand what this penalty meant.
