Chapter 330 Chapter 329: Battle on the Third Front!
The 09-10 season has entered the critical stage.

Arsenal fought on three fronts and once again entered the devil's schedule. After playing the game against Sunderland at home, they will soon play the FA Cup.

Arsenal's opponent this round is Aston Villa.

On February 25th, at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal played at home against the Premier League powerhouse Aston Villa!

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, the game started on time, and Wenger sent the Dutch striker combination - Van Persie and Chen Fan to partner.

Chen Fan once again returned to his forward position, but this time he didn't have to play as a center forward.

A reporter on the sidelines sighed: "Only Wenger dares to use people like this!"

Yes, under normal circumstances, a player's position is relatively fixed, which is convenient for the player to perform.Even if the position changes, the change will not be too big, and it will not be as frequent as Chen Fan.

Calculating carefully, Chen Fan played four different positions at Arsenal in just one season: left winger, defensive midfielder, attacking midfielder, and center forward.

He has played almost every position in the midfield, which is quite rare.

If you add the left back, right back, and right forward he once played in Ajax, in just over a year, he has played seven different positions!

"This also shows that there is no one available at Arsenal, so Chen can only be rotated in an unused position."

Someone has an opinion.

This is a fact that no one can refute. It is well known that Arsenal's bench is not deep enough.

Chen Fan is like a firefighter, wherever the position is needed, he will appear in that position.

"This just shows that Chen is a rare all-around player!"

A middle-aged reporter sighed.

Everyone nodded, this is also an irrefutable fact.

The game was extremely fierce, and the speed of the offensive and defensive transitions of both sides was very fast. At one moment, Arsenal was still attacking in front of the opponent's penalty area, and at the next moment, Aston Villa had already started to counterattack quickly.

Four days ago, Aston Villa defeated Burnley [-]-[-] at home, and they came with a big victory!

They want to use speed to overwhelm Arsenal's defense.

In the No.207 minute of the first half, Aston Villa launched a quick counterattack. Forward Karoo shot a heavy shot on the Arsenal penalty area line, and the football went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal!
The angle of the ball is too tricky, Almunia can only look at the ball and sigh!
The ball is in!
The score became one to zero!

After the score fell behind, Arsenal launched a frenzied counterattack. Van Persie and Chen Fan took turns attacking the opponent's defense, creating dangerous situations many times.

Aston Villa thrillingly maintained a one-goal lead until the end of the first half.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Arsenal quickly turned the game into a half-time offensive and defensive drill.

The huge waves of red and white are overwhelming!
In the 5th minute of the second half, Chen Fan made a precise cross from the side. Van Persie overwhelmed the opponent's central defender with a beautiful lion shake, and the football flew out of the baseline against the crossbar!

After 3 minutes, Ebrahimovic made a direct pass in the opponent's hinterland, Van Persie rubbed the outside of his right foot, and Chen Fanfei stepped forward with a burst shot!
"Pong!..."

With a loud noise, the football was rejected by the post and popped out of the bottom line!

In the No.13 minute of the second half, Van Persie once again cooperated with Chen Fan in the opponent's penalty area in a small area. After two consecutive direct passes, Van Persie leaned on the opponent's defender and shot!
Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Friedel bravely saved this shot from the bottom line!

In the 21st minute of the second half, Eb kicked a heavy shot outside the penalty area, and the football went wide of the goal!

Aston Villa's face was pale up and down, Arsenal's offensive was too fierce, and their defense was precarious.

Maybe it was the extreme, or maybe Arsenal slowed down the offensive rhythm after seeing that they hadn't scored a goal after a long attack, which made Aston Villa heave a sigh of relief.

Just as they were about to counterattack, Chen Fan gave them a hard blow.

In the 205th minute of the second half, Arsenal launched an attack from the right. After receiving Song's pass, Cesc Fabregas dodged the attack from the opponent's midfielder, and suddenly made a long pass to transfer the football to the left.

Chen Fan took two steps forward to control the football, and Aston Villa full-back Carlos Jimenez hurried forward to defend.

When the distance between the two was about two meters, the stationary Chen Fan suddenly started, like a flash of lightning, he took the football to force Carlos Jimenez at super fast speed, and passed by him!
Quiet like a virgin, moving like a rabbit!
Between stillness and movement, there is no law at all, making people defenseless!
Chen Fan's breakthrough made Aston Villa's back line in chaos, because before that, the football was still on the right side, and Aston Villa's defensive center of gravity was on that side.

Now they have to adjust their defensive focus in the shortest possible time, which is where the power of large-scale transfers lies.

In the chaos, Van Persie cleverly moved his position, and in an instant a passage appeared between him and Chen Fan!

This channel is likely to disappear in the next second.

How could Chen Fan let go of such a good opportunity to make a wonderful pass, only to see him make a cross pass!
Van Persie raised his left foot directly, and then kicked the football hard with the back of his instep!

The football passed through the crowd of feet like a sharp arrow and flew towards the left side of the goal!

Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Friedel had his vision blocked and by the time he spotted the ball it was too late to save.

Soccer hits the net!

The ball is in!
One to one!

Arsenal's hard work paid off with an equalizer!
The reporters on the sidelines shook their heads and sighed. Football games are like this. Often it only takes one or two passes to tear apart the opponent's defense and score goals.

It's just that one or two passes, how can anyone do it?

Take this goal as an example. The Spaniard's vision is not possessed by anyone. Chen Fan seized the fleeting opportunity to cross, how many people can do it?
After the equalizer, Aston Villa did not counterattack frantically, and they could accept a draw.

According to the FA Cup system, if there is no winner in the first round, the second round will be played.If the two sides still fail to decide the winner in the second round, it will be a penalty shootout.

If Aston Villa can draw with Arsenal in this game, the second leg will be played.At that time, Aston Villa could sit at home, so it would be much less difficult for them to beat Arsenal by virtue of their home advantage than winning an away game.

Arsenal didn't know what the opponent was planning, and strengthened the press in the midfield.

They don't want to play the second round, they can solve their opponents in one game, why use two?
Chen Fan took the lead and frantically chased the football in the Aston Villa half!

Aston Villa players saw Arsenal's fierce pressing and immediately moved the football to the frontcourt. They didn't have the confidence to play with Arsenal's midfield stars at will.

This black-haired young man has proved his superb stealing ability in more than [-] Premier League games. If he makes a slight mistake and is caught by him, it will be troublesome.

The pace of the game accelerated again. In the 307th minute of the second half, after Almunia confiscated the opposing forward's weak shot, he directly launched a quick counterattack with a big kick!
Van Persie actively competed with the opponent for the header, and the football flew to the middle circle after being hit by someone.

Fabregas took two steps forward to control the football, and then hit the ball behind him with an overhead kick!
A red and white figure threw off the Aston Villa defender and rushed towards the football like a sharp arrow!

"flash!"

"flash!"

"flash!"

Excited roars from the Arsenal fans sounded from the Emirates Stadium. Chen Fan stepped forward and leaped high, stretched out his right foot to unload the football, and then charged towards the Aston Villa penalty area like a cheetah!

One-handed!
