So there is no doubt that this game should be easy to win three points in the eyes of outsiders.

With a whistle, the personnel from both sides staggered.

The head coaches on both sides sat firmly in their chairs.

Today Wenger was wearing a very handsome suit, it was very cold in winter, but he did not wear a down jacket.

After the opening, the two teams opened up.

Zhou Yang also started to watch the game, which is also considered.

VIP seats! !
The game on the court entered a rhythm.

After the opening, the two sides made a few tests with each other.

Compared with Arsenal's short pass, Aston Villa's frontcourt is very aggressive.The opening rhythm of the two sides was fast. Arsenal took the ball from the left, Cazorla took the ball horizontally, and knocked back. orchid.

Aston Villa continue to press.

Kirkland made a through pass to Cazorla, who made a non-stop ball to Sanchez on the left.

Aston Villa's formation was stretched too deep in the center circle, and Sanchez dribbled the ball in.

Get into Arsenal's attacking rhythm.

Aston Villa went up to grab, resulting in an uneven distribution of personnel on the back line.

Depending on the situation, Sanchez is going to force his way!

Sanchez has extremely excellent personal abilities. As the highest salary in the Arsenal team, at this moment he also shows excellent personal abilities and is ready to wade through the two defenders.

However, he took the last kick too hastily, and the ball was led by the opponent's defender.

The short Chilean star can only clap his hands.

Aston Villa's attack, counterattack quickly.

No.

The backcourt directly gave Dazuo a long pass, looked at the direction, and flew to the right. The opponent stopped the ball in the chest and missed the ball.

Out of bounds.

In the opening minutes, there was no effective threat.

Monreal threw the ball out of bounds, Ramsey cushioned the ball, took a few kicks, and moved to the right space to Bellerin.

Bellerin dribbled the ball forward quickly, and a cross passed to midfielder Kirkland, who took advantage of the opportunity to push his left foot to Cazorla in front.

Cazorla cooperated with Sanchez on the left to hit the wall, came to the left side of the front of the penalty area, and pushed his left foot to Giroud, who turned around against the defender and kicked him.

The ball rolled close to the ground, the speed was not fast, the goalkeeper stretched out his right foot, and after blocking it, Villa's defender kicked out of the boundary.

This is also Arsenal's first kick, the best match they have played since the beginning of the game.

Cazorla and Sanchez hit the wall and gave the ball to Giroud, who turned around and failed to hit the goal.

The left-back Monreal threw the ball out of bounds. Ramsey stepped forward to catch it, but failed to catch it and was intercepted by Villa players.

Aston Villa got the ball from the right, crossed the center, advanced slowly, and passed the center circle when the Arsenal players were positioned.

Another long pass to the right striker, the latter stopped the ball accurately this time, dribbled the ball, and the midfielder around him quickly inserted, and Arsenal's defense was attracted.

As a result, the opponent directly made a cross and found forward Benteke. The Villa center forward is strong and good at grabbing points.

He was ejected by Arsenal centre-back Per Mertesacker.

Villa's offense gradually came up, trying to find a way to find the right winger to advance, and then advanced from the wing to find Benteke.

In the next ten minutes, neither side got any better chances.

The possession rate of the two sides was 6 to 4, Arsenal pressed the opponent to play, and the shooting ratio was 4 to 2.

One couldn't tear through the defense, and the other was weak in offense.

In the 27th minute, Arsenal took a corner kick.

Giroud, Ramsey, Koscielny, and Mertesacker are in charge.

Cazorla stands in the corner area and passes forward, and the ball draws an outward rotation arc and falls into the penalty area.

Pushed out by Aston Villa defenders.

Then came the second corner.

Was pushed out again.

Another third corner.

Still got kicked out.

The situation was not very good. In these three 10 minutes, Villa's defense was very cautious.

Normally, after they attack in the backcourt, they will try to find a way to make a long pass to the wing, and then make a cross from the wing to find Benteke.

However, if they did not attack, they would choose to hide near the penalty area, and wait until the Arsenal players began to threaten the penalty area before they would press and so on.

In the away game, Villa played very prudently and conservatively.

Soon, in the 30th minute of the game, Ramsey got a straight pass from Kirkland. Sanchez and Cazorla and others ran out of a favorable position in the frontcourt. Ramsey gave the ball too slowly, and the opposite side was near the penalty area. The advantage of the number of people took the lead to buckle the ball.

In 37 minutes, Giroud got the ball in the arc area and hit the goal with a kick. There was a lot of thunder and little rain, and it seemed very powerful. Unfortunately, the ball crawled into the goalkeeper's arms, but it still didn't have a good shot.

In 42 minutes, relying on his excellent dribbling breakthrough ability, Sanchez received Cazorla's ground ball contract from the left, dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and was led away again.

In 45 minutes, Walcott was too fast, dribbling in the penalty area and getting too close to the opposite player, and took the ball out of the boundary.

After halftime, the defense in the penalty area on the opposite side was tight and steady.

At the end of halftime, Arsenal temporarily tied Aston Villa 0-0.

Visible to the naked eye, the opening kick was not so smooth.
