Chapter 376 The Battle for the Golden Boot
"Damn it, I didn't expect Arsenal's defense to be quite strong. If it were an ordinary team, we wouldn't know how many we would have scored!" Mascherano muttered while changing his jersey, As a defensive midfielder, he can't make too much contribution to the team in offense, and most of the time he can only be anxious at the end.
"I don't know if the old Lehman has taken stimulants. Judging by the reaction speed and explosive power, he doesn't look like a 35-year-old man!" However, Lehman's unbelievable performance dispelled his shot. How could he be calm!
At this time, Loew clapped his hands, and after attracting everyone's attention, he began to arrange the tactics for the second half.
"I'm sorry, Javier, we need to replace a striker! So you can take a good rest in the second half!" The expression on Loew's face was full of apology, but his tone was unquestionable, because he is the team's coach, he has The right to decide who comes out and who goes out!
Mascherano also knew that staying on the field was of little use. The team was behind and would inevitably be replaced by offensive players. He was mentally prepared for this, so after nodding, he did not show any displeasure.
"Milo, I need you to be at the forefront in the second half. Whether you shoot directly or play for your teammates, we have only one goal, and that is to break through Arsenal's goal!" Loew called Klose's name again.
The German center nodded with a firm expression. This kind of game is the space for him to play.
"Since we can beat Arsenal twice, we can beat them three times. Can you admit that you are not as good as yourself in two years?"
"A lot of people are waiting to see our Notts County jokes, saying that our top of the standings is too watery, we still have to face Arsenal, if we don't let us, we will definitely be beaten to pieces, and today, we proved ourselves This is the chance to beat the opposition and tell the world that we deserve this position and that we are the best club in the Premier League!"
Loew passionately mobilized the players' emotions. Although he also felt that it was unnecessary because the players' fighting spirit had not diminished in any way, he was still willing to add another fire.
At the beginning of the second half, Notts County's offense immediately became three-dimensional. Because of the appearance of air fighter Klose, the pressure on Campbell and Zeon increased greatly. Klose's header ability is definitely in the world football. At the top level, if he is allowed to wreak havoc in Arsenal's penalty area, the consequences will be unimaginable.
When the two central defenders focused more on Klose, Villa, the killer hidden in Klose's beast, showed his true power. The header was returned, and an angry shot broke through the gate of Lehmann's handle.
The goal didn't seem to have too many omens, it was just done lightly after changing tactics, and even the players on the Arsenal field were in a trance.
Is this a lost ball?
Notts County's fierce and complicated offensive in the first half failed to break Arsenal's goal. The second half played more simply, but scored?
For a while, Arsenal's players couldn't accept it.
After Villa scored the goal, he jumped up and jumped on Klose. Although the two are competitors and there are not many opportunities to play at the same time, as long as they play at the same time, the lethality of the Notts County striker will increase. Absolutely It is the effect of 1+1"2, Villa's goal should be thanks to Klose and the opponent's defender's tenacious confrontation.
There was a lot of booing in the stands, and the Arsenal fans couldn't accept the reality that the team was equalized. They had already played defensive counterattacks, but why did the defense still have loopholes?
No way, Edu is much inferior to Gilberto Silva in terms of ability and experience. He can't do a better job of protecting the back line. Under the sharp offensive of Notts County, it is inevitable that there will be problems up.
Wenger's face was not very good off the field. He managed to take the lead by counterattacking a goal, but was so easily equalized. If Arsenal's defense can't keep the ball, then what are they going to do against Notts County!
It was difficult to break the Notts County goal in the front, but it was scored by Notts County in the back. This ball can't be kicked!
After the game restarted, Arsenal's morale dropped to a certain extent. Notts County players felt the most obvious, and the opponent's defensive actions dropped by one level.
Take advantage of your illness to kill you!
Adhering to this principle, Notts County once again launched an unreasonable attack. If the left cannot pass, go to the right. Who gave them this ability!
There was turmoil in front of Arsenal's goal for a while, and Lehmann made frequent rescues, and he almost had a Golden Globe performance, but he still couldn't stop Notts County from breaking through his gate again.
This time it was still Villa, the Spanish striker showed his fangs in this powerful dialogue, breaking through the gate of Arsenal in a simple but effective way.
This is Villa's 16th league goal, currently topping the Premier League scorer list, shocked the world.
I thought that this season's Premier League scorer list was none other than Henry. After all, because of Beckham's departure, his biggest competitor Ruud van Nistelrooy's scoring rate will inevitably drop significantly. Even in the betting company's odds setting for the Premier League Golden Boot, Henry Only 1.10, if there are no accidents such as injuries, there will be no 0.1.
But in such a situation where the whole world is optimistic about Henry, Calabash Villa has used one goal after another to refresh the fans' perception of him. After 16 rounds of the league, he has occupied the scorer list with 14 goals. The number one position on the list is two more than No.2 Henry.
This game is not only a battle for the top spot between Notts County and Arsenal, but also a direct confrontation between Golden Boot contenders Henry and Villa.
Henry completed a beautiful counter-attack goal in the first half, narrowing the goal difference to one, and Villa broke out in the second half, scoring twice directly, widening the goal difference to three, allowing all Everyone was surprised from ear to ear.
Seeing Villa who was madly celebrating the goal, Henry's bleary-eyed face rarely showed an expression full of fighting spirit, as if Villa really made him ignite the fighting spirit in his heart, he is going to be serious!
As one of the top scorers at the time, Henry had his own pride. How could he let Villa, a second-rate striker who played in the top league in his first year, snatch his golden boot away!
