Chapter 37 Giroud Scores

The situation that Paris Saint-Germain is facing now is that it is unable to organize effective attacks and counterattacks in the face of Arsenal's midfield pressure.

Especially after the pace has accelerated, Arsenal can still play with ease in the fast pace, while Paris Saint-Germain is a little difficult to maintain.

In order to solve this problem, Paris Saint-Germain also gave Neymar more ball rights.

"Pass the ball to Neymar to deal with it!"

Paris coach Tuchel can only pin his hopes on Neymar at this time.

When facing Arsenal, they will definitely not be able to play as a whole and as a team.

This has been proved in the first half. They cannot get effective performance through overall advancement.

For this reason, they can only hope that Neymar's star effect can bring some changes to Paris Saint-Germain.

Mbappe on the side had a hint of unwillingness in his expression. He thought he should be more valued. Although he was not a pushing and organizing player, he should pin his hopes on himself instead of Neymar at this time.

But Mbappe still didn't say it.

Neymar also became the main focus of Paris' attack in the second half.

Arsenal did not make any tactical changes. When they were leading, they did not need to make changes first.

However, Mourinho still said that they needed to be tighter on the defensive end.

In the last period of the second half, Arsenal's defense was a little relaxed, which gave Paris Saint-Germain several opportunities to create danger.

And Mourinho obviously did not want to see this scene again in the second half.

Both sides were preparing for the second half.

The major commentary stations were also making suggestions for Paris Saint-Germain, but in the end, they could not find a suitable tactic, and finally could only sigh that Arsenal had too strong control over the game.

The fans on the scene were still cheering for their respective teams.

The atmosphere was still fanatical, and the second half soon came.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides!

"PSG began to give more ball rights to Neymar to organize and break through, which is to open up an offensive opportunity through Neymar's personal ability."

"But the problem is back. When facing Kai's close defense, even Neymar will seem extremely strenuous."

Andy Gray looked at the big screen. When Neymar was dribbling with the ball, Lucky beside him followed closely.

Lucky did not rush to press, but drove Neymar to the side and blocked some key passing channels.

Sometimes, Neymar also wanted to shake off or get rid of Lucky through some fake moves, but the success rate was pitifully low.

There were even several forced passes, which resulted in the pass not being in place and being intercepted by Arsenal.

It can be said that even Neymar, in this situation of fighting alone, had no way to face Arsenal's overall defense.

"Neymar needs help!"

The French commentator said so.

But after he finished speaking, he couldn't find a suitable candidate?

Who should help Neymar?

Verati or Marquinhos?

Verratti is short in stature. Although he has excellent footwork, he is at a great disadvantage in the physical confrontation with Arsenal.

Marquinhos is not a player who is willing to move forward. He will choose to retreat to defend more, so he cannot provide help.

Cavani will not retreat, and Mbappe will not retreat.

Both of them play the role of terminator, so Paris Saint-Germain can only rely on Neymar.

But Neymar can't complete the breakthrough.

After playing for a while, Neymar was depressed.

He couldn't get rid of the dribbling.

He wanted to pass the ball, but couldn't find the forward passing point.

Every time he could only pass back, after the offensive progress passed the center circle, they seemed to have stalled directly.

On the other hand, Arsenal still calmly arranged defense, on the one hand limiting Neymar and other players who could pose a threat to themselves, on the other hand looking for opportunities to counterattack.

The situation is still firmly controlled by Arsenal.

This also made the Paris fans in the entire Parc des Princes stadium seem particularly depressed.

Always unable to find a suitable counterattack point, and at the same time have to worry about Arsenal's counterattack.

At this moment, Paris's attack had a flaw.

When Verratti passed the ball, he encountered Eriksen's pressing, which made his pass not strong enough, and the ball was intercepted by Kante.

After Kante intercepted, he passed it directly to Giroud who was retreating.

Coincidentally, Kimpembe was pulled out by Giroud at this time, resulting in a gap behind.

Giroud met the ball and passed it to the gap.

Mane started very quickly and ran diagonally.

Facing the ball, he shot directly!

This shot was powerful, but it flew over the crossbar to the stands.

"PSG can't make this kind of mistake. Despite the confrontation, it was too easy to be intercepted. Arsenal could have finished the shot with two kicks."

"As for Mane, the shot was too hasty. He could have taken a step back and adjusted before choosing to shoot!"

Andy Gray still gave some affirmation in his tone.

After all, in this case, facing any shooting opportunity, the forwards want to complete the process faster to avoid leaving the opponent with a chance to block.

But the shot just now could have been slowed down.

This attack failed to score a goal, but the pressure on Paris became greater.

Many PSG players were sweating profusely, and their physical energy was greatly consumed.

Some even took advantage of this time to rest on their legs.

Seeing this scene, Leka felt that the time for Arsenal to attack had come.

Arsenal's attack was not blindly carried out, but chose a suitable opportunity.

In the current situation, Paris Saint-Germain was obviously in a state of fatigue under the pressure from Arsenal.

And the overall situation was not particularly good.

This was a good time for Arsenal to attack in a big way and open up the score.

For this reason, Leka immediately directed his teammates to start fierce pressing.

After the game resumed, Arsenal's pressing strength in the front midfield increased exponentially, and sometimes Leka and Kante would even move to the center circle to further compress Paris Saint-Germain's passing channels.

Neymar wanted to attack, so he had to receive the ball near the center circle. He couldn't run too far forward or too far back.

In this situation, Arsenal kept an eye on Neymar, and under the pressure of the overall forward movement, Paris Saint-Germain began to retreat continuously.

Until they could not bear the pressure and kicked the ball directly.

The ball was easily collected by Arsenal.

When Arsenal got the ball, their offensive posture became extremely fierce.

"In the 70th minute of the game, Arsenal began to take the initiative to attack and began to pressure Paris Saint-Germain's defense. Arsenal's passing was very smooth. The ball came to Aubameyang's feet, transfer, transfer, and transfer!"

"Arsenal is constantly transferring, trying to pull out a gap for the breakthrough, while Giroud is on the opponent's back line, constantly giving pressure."

"Eriksen passed to Kai, and Kai also stepped forward to join the attack"

After two minutes of pressure, Paris Saint-Germain finally couldn't stand it.

"Press forward! Press!"

"We can't keep playing like this!"

"Kick him out of the half!"

Thiago Silva, the captain of Paris Saint-Germain, shouted loudly.

The Paris players also rushed forward quickly.

It was in this gap that Leka did not retreat but advanced, and took the initiative to ask for it.

Eriksson made a cross pass, Leka turned sideways to hold Marquinhos, and gently rubbed the ball with his left foot

The ball showed a parabola and flew to the gap behind Paris Saint-Germain.

At the same time, Giroud also moved forward smartly and arrived at the landing point in two steps.

"Giroud!

A wonderful offside run!"

Andy Gray shouted excitedly, and then under his gaze, Giroud faced the falling ball, pushed it with his chest, opened up the distance horizontally, and also got rid of the attacking goalkeeper.

Facing the empty goal, Giroud faced the falling ball and easily completed the push shot.

In the 74th minute, Arsenal scored again and expanded the score.

This goal also brought silence to the entire Parc des Princes.

At this moment, they really began to be confused.

From the beginning of the game till now, they have never had an advantage, let alone an advantage, they have not had even a single comfortable shooting opportunity.
