    "Viera passed the ball straight Cesc Fabregas passed the ball into the penalty area again! Precise pass! Henry stepped in and shot the ball went in! Goal! Thierry Henry! The King of Highbury!  Arsenal take the lead! A brilliant 'Arsenal goal'!"

    Henry was galloping around Highbury Stadium, and the Arsenal fans in the stands saluted their king with continuous cheers. This seemed to be destined to be Henry's stage. In any other place, Henry's achievements were far inferior.  obtained on this site.

    Mourinho shook his head. Wenger's tactics were really effective. Dawson was completely unable to keep up with Henry. But Arsenal couldn't just play such a subtle coordination, otherwise they would  It’s not as if the points gap with Newcastle is so big now.

    The game restarted and Newcastle began to counterattack, but Arsenal used fierce pressing to suppress Newcastle's attacks on both wings. Sun Chenghai and Ashley Cole are both full-backs with strong one-on-one capabilities, while Vieira is like an iron wall.  He also built a line of defense in front of the penalty area, using his height and stealing ability to constantly disrupt Newcastle's offense.

    With Newcastle pressing forward.  Arsenal instead launched a defensive counterattack. After having enough sprint space, Henry's personal breakthrough with the ball was simply unstoppable. If Makelele, Maicon and others hadn't taken turns to help Dawson defend, he would have been carrying a ball on his back.  Dawson, who received a yellow card, was extremely passive in defense.

    Before the game, the evaluation of this game was basically 50-50, and even favored Newcastle - Newcastle has now won seven games in a row and is very impressive, and their away results this season are as good as at home -  They are all unbeaten, and even at Anfield and Stamford Bridge they performed equally well.  Three points from Anfield, one point from Stamford Bridge and Arsenal?  Just in the previous round, they lost to Bolton in an away game, and were tied with Manchester City at home in the last round More importantly, at Arsenal's home court, Newcastle can fully display their defensive counterattack tactics.  The result of the game is likely to be a Mourinho-style victory - Arsenal gain the advantage on the field and Newcastle win, just like what happened at St James' Park a month ago.

    But the current situation is that Arsenal not only took the lead on the scene.  They also got a real lead - Newcastle has not been able to create any threatening offense so far, but Arsenal not only had several threatening shots, but also scored a beautiful goal.

    Twenty-three minutes.  Cole stepped forward with the assist and passed it to Ljungberg. Ljungberg cleverly passed the ball across the middle. Henry took the ball at the top of the penalty area and suddenly lobbed the ball into the far corner. Fortunately, Cech was tall and had long arms to push the ball out of the baseline.  Henry took a corner kick and Campbell headed high.

    Two minutes later, Adriano, who switched positions with Henry and exited the penalty area, blasted the goal 25 meters away.  The ball was blocked by Dawson with his body, and Lucio immediately made a big kick to clear the ball.

    It wasn't until the 30th minute that Newcastle created a truly threatening attack. Essien passed the ball in the midfield. After receiving the ball, Ibrahimovic forced a breakthrough to the bottom line under Toure's defense, and then unexpectedly passed the ball out of the penalty area.  Fei took a long shot under the interference of Vieira, and Lehmann made two consecutive saves to suppress the ball.

    The disadvantage in the midfield forced Newcastle players to use more foul methods to prevent the opponent's attack. In the 35th minute, Bernard fouled Vieira.  In the 37th minute, Ribery fouled Henry - Newcastle's two French players were not polite to their compatriots.

    This situation also caused strong dissatisfaction among Arsenal fans.  Their boos were overwhelming.  But Newcastle's players still have this psychological quality - five minutes later, Ribery once again tackled Vieira in the midfield.  The referee Dunn showed a yellow card.

    This time, even Wenger couldn't stand it anymore. He stared at Mourinho fiercely and yelled: "Is this your football? Jose?"

    "This is modern football, professor." Mourinho shrugged and replied.

    Wenger was choked, but Arsenal’s style of play is not that good. At least several large-scale fights in the Premier League occurred during the games between Arsenal and Manchester United.

    Arsenal players are indeed not easy to deal with. Soon, Ljungberg also received a yellow card for a retaliatory foul on Ribery. Although they both played in Yunjia Tianyu, Ljungberg left  When Franck Ribery came, there was no friendship between them, not to mention that now they have their own masters on the court.

    The first half of the game ended with constant fouls and gunpowder from both sides. Arsenal maintained a one-goal lead until the halftime break.

    ******************************************

    "I have to emphasize again - this game is very difficult." Mourinho's first words in the locker room were like this: "We seem to have unlimited glory now, but don't forget that there is a tail behind us.  If we are not careful, we may be overtaken by the opponent. Therefore, we have to play like a Champions League final. They now have the advantage on the field and they are doing better in the midfield.  We're better, so we can't get too involved with them in the midfield - that's their strength."

    After making a few strokes on the tactical board, Mourinho said: "Nie Fei, Frank, in the second half you have to be more active and move forward. Don't get too entangled with them in the midfield. Try to stay in the frontcourt."  Pull and disrupt their tactical arrangement! The two full-backs need to press more to suppress the attack of Ljungberg and Pires! The key to the battle now is the two wings. If we can take advantage on the wings,  Then the threat of our two centers will be greater. Didier, you can change positions with Ibra to disrupt their defense. When their defense shows flaws"

    Mourinho slammed his hands together: "Kill them!"

    "Kill them!"

    The disadvantage in the first half was also intolerable for Newcastle's players. They had never experienced anything like this in the first half of the season - they had always played with their opponents, and in the first half Assen  Nathan gave them a taste of this. Newcastle players are all arrogant, how can they tolerate such a situation!

    Pei Wei next to him heard something was wrong. Mourinho had been emphasizing how to attack, but did not say what to do defensively. With the momentum and state shown by Arsenal in the first half of the offense, Newcastle was  If we don't strengthen our defense while strengthening our offense, we will be beaten by Arsenal.

    After the players walked out, Pei Wei asked Mourinho this question. Mourinho shrugged his shoulders: "Can we win by defending alone? And now we are behind, don't think  Wenger couldn't defend this goal And our passivity in the first half was not only a defensive problem, but the most important thing was our inability to attack. If we couldn't use offense to suppress the opponent's offense, we would definitely die.  very ugly."

    Pei Wei nodded silently. This is indeed the case now. Arsenal played a perfect first half and got everything they wanted. This also allowed them to use any tactics with ease in the second half of the game.  , Newcastle can only passively accept the move.

    ***************************************************

    After the start of the second half, Newcastle launched a fierce attack from the first minute. The momentum they displayed in the attack shocked the Arsenal fans.

    Arsenal also seemed to be stunned by Newcastle. Newcastle created three threatening shots within ten minutes, which was completely different from the sluggishness in the first half.

    But at this time, it entered Lyman's performance period.

    In the 48th minute, Toure fouled Ibrahimovic at the edge of the penalty area. Nie Fei's free kick from 20 meters passed the wall beautifully, but was saved by Lehmann with one palm. Campbell quickly made a clearance and Essien intercepted in front of the penalty area.  The ball was shot from a long distance again, and Lehmann stood up and held the ball in his arms.

    Three minutes later, Newcastle played a wonderful combination. Franck Ribery made a direct pass from the center. Drogba retreated to play the ball. Ibrahimovic launched a beautiful through ball. Nie Fei quickly stepped in to form a single goal. Facing Lehmann's challenge,  Shooting into the far corner, Germany's No. 2 national goalkeeper reached out and touched the ball under seemingly impossible circumstances. The ball slightly changed direction and hit the outside of the goalpost and bounced back into the penalty area. Lehmann got up from the ground again and pressed the ball firmly against him.  Down.

    Two minutes later, he used a wonderful sideways rescue to block Drogba's shot at the goal line. While winning huge applause from Arsenal fans, it also left Mourinho and Pei Wei speechless.

    "Damn, your reaction is so fast!"

    After seeing Lehmann use his feet to block Ibrahimovic's low shot in the penalty area, Pei Wei couldn't help shouting. In Pei Wei's view, if Lehmann can perform at this level in every game, then he may  Kahn has long been snatched away as the main player of the national team, and there is no need to wait for 2006 to take the lead in the national team for the first time.

    Mourinho bit his lip and said nothing. He was more disappointed than Pei Wei, because Pei Wei couldn't see that it was Arsenal's luck that Lehmann broke out at this time, because Wenger probably didn't think of himself either.  The defeat will launch a fierce attack at the beginning of the second half. If we can seize this opportunity to tie the score, then the game will return to its original starting point, and Newcastle will be able to fight against the opponent more easily.??.

    But Lehmann’s heroic performance killed all this. After Wenger made adjustments, it would be very difficult for Newcastle to get so many opportunities.

    "It's not as good as God." Mourinho could only sigh helplessly in his heart.
