The best way to break offside is to hang a defender on you
"Following his first appearance in the Champions League, Alexander made his first appearance in the Premier League. I wonder if he can continue to maintain his form in the Champions League today and start his Premier League career with goals and wins."
"Aston Villa has only won three of the last 27 games between the two sides, and is only ranked 15th in the standings so far this season. There is a clear gap in strength between the two sides, but the Gunners cannot be careless because they The current situation in the battle for fourth place is still very serious, and the next game will be an away game against Tottenham, a North London derby, and then the second round of the Champions League against Bayern Munich. The schedule is not very friendly…"
"Look at the starting lineups of both sides."
"Arsenal 4-2-3-1.
Goalkeeper: 1-Szczesny;
Defenders: 25-Jenkinson, 4-Pertesacker, 5-Vermaelen, 17-Monreal;
Midfielder: 2-Diaby, 8-Arteta;
Midfielder: 14-Walcott, 10-Wilshere, 19-Cazorla;
Forward: 11-Alexander. "
"Aston Villa 4-3-3.
Goalkeeper: 22-Guzan;
Defenders: 34-Loughton, 6-Clark, 32-Buck, 27-Bennett;
Midfielder: 16-Delph, 15-Westwood, 10-Nzobia;
Forwards: 26-Wieman, 20-Benteke, 11-Abonlahor. "
Aston Villa kick off.
Alexander stood outside the center circle and immediately pounced on the football as soon as the whistle sounded.
As soon as Benteke passed the ball, he saw Alexander rushing in front of him, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
It's so damn fast.
"…Aston Villa served first, and the Arsenal midfielder led by Alexander quickly pressed forward and quickly attacked… Oops, Alexander is so fast… among the players on the court now , Walcott and Agbonlahor are both famous fast horses, but Alexander seems to be no less impressive…"
The pressure from Arsenal's midfield and frontcourt caused a certain amount of panic to Aston Villa, and the ball was finally passed to the goalkeeper for a clearance.
The ball fell into Arsenal's half and was headed to Agbonlahor by N'Zogbia.
Agbonlahor dribbled the ball from the side of the penalty area, made a sudden change of direction to deceive Jenkinson's center of gravity, and then lifted the ball into the penalty area.
Benteke beat Mertesacker with a header, but unfortunately the ball flew too straight and was easily confiscated by Szczesny.
"The game just started, Aston Villa completed a shot and looked in pretty good shape… Now it's Arsenal's turn to attack, also going wide…"
The newly joined Monreal took the ball, targeted Walcott's position and passed the ball over the top.
Walcott took the ball sideways and wanted to take the ball inside, but unfortunately the ball path was blocked by Bennett. He could only move the ball toward the baseline, then stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and easily ran out of position before stepping down. Bottom pass.
The football flew high and came to the right side of the goal.
Buck pointed at Alexander and signaled Clark to block him. Then he jumped up high and prepared to head the ball to clear the ball. But before his head touched the football, his body felt as if he had been hit by a tank, and was severely bounced away. On the ground.
Clark had been paying attention to Alexander's movement. After seeing Walcott's pass, he simply followed Alexander without even looking at the ball.
Alexander rushed towards the landing point of the football, and he also rushed towards the landing point of the football.
Alexander took off, and he followed suit.
Alexander scored a header, and he… could only pray.
"…Walcott passed the ball from the wing, and Alexander beat Aston Villa's two central defenders to header! Unfortunately, it missed the target… Well, the referee whistled for Alexander's foul… Take a look Buck was about to head the ball to clear the ball, but Alexander suddenly rushed over and knocked him away…"
Buck clutched his chest, and it took him a while to recover.
Alexandergang wanted to reach out to pull him, but Clark pushed him away fiercely, and then shouted to the referee who came over: "This is a malicious collision! It is obviously a red card action! He should be sent off!"
The referee glanced at him speechlessly and gave Alexander a verbal warning: "Be careful and don't hit anyone."
"This is a reasonable collision," Alexander glanced at Clark, "I have been very careful, but he is too fragile."
The referee shook his head and said, "I will make my own judgment. Anyway, you all should be honest."
"The game has just started, and both sides' forwards each completed a header, but unfortunately they failed to score."
As the game continued, the stronger Arsenal gradually took the initiative on the field.
Although Arsenal won the game against Bayern, Alexander was the only one in the team who was happy. The others were actually very frustrated, and now they finally had a chance to vent.
In the 3rd minute, Vermaelen successfully stole the ball and passed the ball directly from the backcourt into the penalty area.
As soon as Alexanderg rushed forward to catch the ball, the small flag in the linesman's hand was raised high.
Offside.
In the 10th minute, Wilshere sent the ball to the wing. Walcott once again showed speed and passion, sweeping the ball into the penalty area from the ribs of the penalty area.
Alexander cleverly missed the ball, and Diaby followed up and kicked the ball into the stands.
In the 15th minute, Arsenal made a comeback.
Once again, Wilshere and Walcott connected and sent the ball to the front of the penalty area. Alexander firmly blocked his position, turned sideways and gently pushed the ball into the penalty area.
Cazorla rushed into the penalty area at the same time and volleyed the ball into the lower left corner of the goal.
"GOAL!!! Wilshere passed the ball straight from the front, and Alexander cleverly sent the ball into the penalty area. Cazorla…ah? Offside? Is this ball offside?"
Cazorla actually knew that he was offside, but he bet that the referee didn't see it, so he rushed to the sideline to celebrate as soon as he scored. As a result, he saw the flag raised high in the hands of the linesman just halfway through the action.
"Aston Villa's defense is quite high, which gives Arsenal the opportunity to play behind the defender, but it also increases the chance of offside fouls. Maybe they should play more cautiously…"
Alexander shook his head and simply walked into the restricted area this time, preparing to stay here temporarily.
The game unknowingly reached the 20th minute. Walcott performed very well today. After receiving a pass from Wilshere, he once again dribbled the ball.
Moreover, the little tiger was very aggressive this time. Instead of taking the familiar wing, he charged directly forward from the center.
His speed was like a Ferrari. Unexpectedly, Delph, the only defensive midfielder, was restrained by Alexander, and he actually took the ball all the way to almost the middle of Aston Villa's half.
Alexander trotted and retreated to the outside of the penalty area to receive the ball. Clark and Buck quickly followed him, blocking him like two walls.
Alexander pointed his hand to his right. Walcott understood and directly pushed the ball between Buck and Clark.
Buck's first reaction was to stretch his foot to block the ball, while Clark subconsciously reached out to drag Alexander.
The one who blocked the ball blocked Lonely, and the one who pulled the ball really grabbed Alexander's shoulders, but he felt that what he was pulling was a wild bull.
Alexander suddenly turned to the right when Walcott passed the ball, preparing to go behind Clark. Unexpectedly, Clark moved so quickly, and was quite rude. Alexander had already stepped into the penalty area, and he dared to go behind him. Pull people.
Alexander became angry. Instead of following his pull to get a penalty kick, he tightened his right arm and swung it forward.
Clark was brought forward and fell forward, but what people didn't expect was that the guy actually hung on Alexander's back…
There were bursts of British pop music in the stands, accompanied by sporadic "wtf"s.
"There was a strange scene in the penalty area. Alexander had a defender hanging on his back and dribbling the ball toward the goal…"
It was probably the first time for Guzan to see such a spectacle, and he was a moment slow when he attacked.
Alexander decisively hit a rub shot at the moment he struck and sent the ball into the right side of the goal.
1-0.
"GOAL!!! Alexander again! Not only did he make his Champions League debut, he also scored the opponent's goal in his Premier League debut!"
"It seems that Alexander has found the best way to break the offside trap, and that is to hang a defender on him! The last player who could score such a goal in the Premier League was Drogba, and it is worth mentioning that Drogba Many of these violent goals were scored against Arsenal…"
Arsenal fans have no time to think about Drogba at this time. All they have in mind now is Alexander.
The moment Alexander scored the ball, everyone's first reaction was relief.
Fortunately, it's not parallel imports, but real gold…
Don't think their worries are unreasonable, but there are too many examples like this.
The most typical example is Theo Walcott, who scored a hat-trick in his first official appearance for the national team. Anyone who saw it would have thought that this guy would break Bobby Charlton's record of 49 goals in England's history in just a few minutes. Thing, but I didn't expect that 4 years later, his number of goals for the national team was still a pitiful 4.
Alexander's performance against Bayern in the last game was indeed a godsend, but who knows if this guy spent his whole life's luck playing such a good game, and then he will be like those who have briefly shined in the history of football. Like a meteor, it fell down at a cliff-like speed.
Fortunately, nothing happened as worried.
This kid is indeed terrifyingly strong.
After Alexander scored the ball, he shook it hard. This time, he finally threw Clark off and directly to the ground.
The referee rushed over and heard Alexander's cold voice.
"If you want my jersey so much, you can exchange it with me after the game. There is no need to be so violent."
Clark stood up and looked at Alexander with anger and embarrassment, not even daring to let out another fart.
Alexander then ran to the sidelines to celebrate, and his teammates followed him, but they all pinched his arm curiously, and they couldn't figure out where his strange strength came from with his body.
"In the 20th minute of the game, Alexander opened the scoring for Arsenal. The Gunners temporarily led Aston Villa 1-0 at home."
After watching the first 20 minutes of the game, Nana die-hard fans can't help but feel like they have traveled through time and space, as if they are seeing the Arsenal team that beat the entire Premier League to the point of crying for their mothers 10 years ago. , and saw the peak representatives of No. 10, No. 14, and No. 11!
How long has it been since they have seen such an energetic, tough, thoughtful and impactful Arsenal team?
They looked at Alexander's youthful face and felt that the future was so bright for the first time in eight years.
A generation will eventually grow old, but there will always be people who are young.
The game continues.
Aston Villa, who was lagging behind, got up for a while and played two waves of pretty good offensives. Unfortunately, after three strikes, their true colors were quickly revealed and they continued to be beaten by Arsenal.
Alexander did not stay in the penalty area as a fulcrum, but actively retreated to participate in the defense and organization of the midfield, and then turned around and used his speed to attack Aston Villa's defense.
Villa's defenders were miserable and tried their best to restrain the man-eating monster.
Unfortunately, everything is temporary.
In the 38th minute of the game, Alexander opened his bloody mouth again…
Mertesacker, who was nicknamed a model by domestic fans, completed a wonderful steal and gave the ball to Monreal on the wing.
After a one-two between Monreal and Wilshere, the ball was brought to the midfield, and a diagonal pass was passed to Alexander.
Alexander leaned on Clark and knocked the ball back to Cazorla, then turned around and rushed past Clark's interception again, reaching the edge of the penalty area.
There was only one Buck between him and the goalkeeper.
Cazorla flicked the ball in front of him, and the football flew high and landed in front of Alexander.
Alexander rushed forward with all his strength and kicked the football hard before it hit the ground.
Violent volley, beautiful volley.
"GOAL!!!
Alexander scored twice!
This time it was a volley that was both violent and full of beauty!
At this moment, I think many Arsenal fans are like me, thinking of Robin van Persie again, because this shooting method is what the Dutch are best at!
But there must be many people like me who have finally completely forgotten Van Persie at this moment, because we already have Alexander!
Although he only played one and a half games for Arsenal, we are extremely convinced that he is the new generation of gun king! "
After scoring the ball, Alexander excitedly rushed to the sidelines.
Walcott was the first to arrive this time, and he opened his arms and hugged Alexander fiercely.
After falling behind by two goals, Aston Vieira seemed to have completely given up on the game, at least in the first half. All players retreated and struggled to survive until the end of the first half.
In the second half, the coaches of both sides did not make any adjustments, but Villa played a little tougher and scored quickly: Nzobia made a header in the counterattack, Wieman broke through to 25 yards and shot with his right foot, and the football started from Sri Lanka. Zesny's hand rolled into the net.
2-1.
This was Villa's 999th Premier League goal. Unfortunately, it did not bring a victory to the team. Instead, it aroused the anger of the crowd and ushered in another wave of fiercer offensive.
The football is passed quickly from the backcourt and then quickly advances to the midfield.
Wilshere and Arteta completed a wall-to-wall combination before passing the ball to the left.
Monreal didn't know when he had already run into the frontcourt, received the ball on the left, and then decisively sent the ball to the goal with a diagonal kick.
This time, Alexander transformed from King Kong into a spirit fox, sneakily evading the defenders' interceptions, and easily pushed the ball into the goal.
3-1.
After his crazy debut in the Champions League, he also gave a perfect first performance in the Premier League.
But what made him unhappy was that Wenger replaced him shortly after completing his hat-trick.
Wenger was waiting on the sidelines, stretched out his hand and shook him hard and said: "Don't be so cold-faced. I'm doing this for your own good. I need you to appear in the best condition in the next game."
Next game? Who?
Oh, Tottenham?
Make an appointment?
