Chapter 542: Chapter 542: There Is Not Much Time Left For Arsenal And Wenger!
Arsenal’s attacking players still possessed a certain level of talent.
During this period—
The Arsenal forwards delivered a devastating blow to their opponents.
Especially Sánchez.
The Arsenal star was on fire, continuously piling pressure on the opposition.
This time—
Sánchez pushed forward into the penalty area, forming a double-striker partnership with another Arsenal forward.
This tactical shift quickly paid off.
Minute 45.
Arsenal launched an attack down the wing.
To be fair—
Although Bellerín had struggled defensively, when he returned to his natural wing position, he could fully showcase his crossing ability.
And this time—
Bellerín was at his best.
After receiving the ball, he unleashed a pinpoint cross into the opposition’s penalty area!!
Near post!!
Lacazette leapt high, using his exceptional jumping ability to beat Christensen to the ball.
In an instant—
Lacazette flicked the ball backward at blistering speed—
Straight to Sánchez!!
Have to say—
Lacazette’s aerial ability this time was exceptional, leaving the defenders with no way to stop him!!
The ball landed at Sánchez’s feet.
Without the slightest hesitation—
He unleashed a powerful volley!!
A moment of brilliance!!
The ball rocketed toward the center of the goal—
Like a cannonball!!
Arsenal fans jumped to their feet, ready to celebrate—
But then—
A twist of fate.
Chelsea’s goalkeeper—Courtois.
A world-class save.
At the very last second—
Just before the ball could find the back of the net—
Courtois threw himself toward it—
Stretching out his right hand—
And deflected the ball away!!
A moment of silence—
Then—
Disbelief from the Arsenal fans.
Sánchez had done everything right—
Yet Courtois had somehow stopped it.
On the sidelines—
Wenger shook his head helplessly.
As stoppage time ticked away, Arsenal’s players gave it their all to change the outcome—
But to be honest—
It was too difficult.
They needed a miracle.
After a grueling 45-minute battle, the first half ended with Arsenal trailing 2-4...
Inside the locker room—
Wenger was furious.
He had done everything he could.
At least from a tactical standpoint, Wenger had pushed his team to the limit.
But unfortunately—
This was football.
During halftime, Wenger didn’t make drastic tactical changes.
Instead, he gave an emotional speech, hoping to lift the spirits of his players.
"Don’t give up. Put pressure on them. Keep fighting."
That was all Wenger could do.
Fifteen minutes later.
The battle between Chelsea and Arsenal resumed!!
Not long after the second half began—
Chelsea struck another deadly blow.
The architect?
Su Luo.
From midfield.
Su Luo received the ball—
And in an instant—
Three Arsenal defenders closed in on him!!
But Su Luo—
Remained calm.
Instead of dribbling—
He chose a long pass.
A perfect pass.
And the next moment—
The ball landed right in front of Lukaku!!
