The game lasted for 70 minutes. After the second half, the rhythm of both sides suddenly accelerated. The players kept running back and forth on the field, as if they were going to use all the energy they had accumulated for two weeks into the 90 minutes.

Whether it is Arsenal or Everton, they are preparing for this game two weeks in advance. Most of the starting players on the field have rested for two weeks, and they are absolutely full of energy, so they can quickly face the public in the second half. After many minutes, there is still enough physical strength to attack.

The confrontational battle is exciting, and it is also the one where opportunities are most likely to arise. The strength of the goalkeepers of both sides was also displayed to the greatest extent at this time.

Howard and Ospina saved each other's must-have goals several times, and one or two shots were blocked by the goal frame, otherwise the score would have been rewritten.

Even so, the fans in the stands and in front of the TV were still hooked. It has been a long time since such a fast-paced confrontation appeared in a cup final.

...

Guangzhou, inside the bar.

"Fuck, this is too perverted. They have been attacking each other for more than 20 minutes without stopping at all. Aren't they tired?" Fans wearing Guangzhou R\u0026F or Everton jerseys looked at the big screen, their faces full of surprise.

"It is indeed terrifying. Although I am used to watching Premier League games, such a fast-paced attack is still rare." Another fan agreed.

"Watching this game, and watching our domestic games again, the Chinese Super League is like an old man walking on the field." A fan wearing a Guangzhou R\u0026F jersey shook his head and said.

"Anyway, at least our country's player Xia Ze can not lose in such a high-intensity game, which is worth a drink!" The taxi driver Lao Wang suddenly picked up his Coke and shouted loudly.

"That's right, cheers to Xia Ze!"

"Xia Ze is doing great!"

"As expected of a Guangzhou native!"

When the fans in the bar heard Lao Wang's words, they also picked up the glasses in their hands and drank them all in one gulp.

...

Portuguese island of Madeira.

"Oh my God,

The pace is too fast! "

"If they keep kicking like this, they will be exhausted, right?"

"Joao, do all Premier League teams play like this?"

Fans of Maritimo have many local football games to watch, and there is also the Portuguese Super League, so not everyone pays attention to the Premier League.

At this time, seeing Everton and Arsenal attacking each other, the rhythm is not even comparable to the Champions League, which shocked them greatly.

"Although it is true that the Premier League games are faster than our Portuguese Super League games, not every game is like this." Tenonio replied: "This game is probably the most rhythmic game I have seen in recent years. Soon the FA Cup final."

"So that's it. In such a fast-paced game, will Xia Ze not have enough physical fitness?" Some fans worried that Xia Ze would perform poorly due to his decreased physical fitness, or be replaced by the head coach.

Because in their impression, Xia Ze's physical fitness was not very outstanding when he was in the team, so they have such worries.

"You don't have to worry. After joining Everton, Xia Ze has undergone special training and his physical fitness has been greatly improved. Even in such a high-intensity game, he can handle it." Tenonio always had a smile on his face. smile.

"That's good, let's drink to Xia Ze!"

"For Xia Ze!"

"cheers!"

The fans in this bar also cheered for Xia Ze.

...

Back at Wembley Stadium, the game has come to the 78th minute.

In the past few minutes, the game has not slowed down in the slightest, and the two sides are still trying their best to break the opponent's goal.

Xia Ze got the ball in the frontcourt, and after a match with Miralas, he dribbled the ball to the opponent's penalty area.

Coquelin was always by his side, lingering on him.

This kind of defense troubled Xia Ze very much. Although he had an overall advantage in physical confrontation and his technique could crush Coquelin, Coquelin clung to him like a brown sugar, making him uncomfortable.

The ball must be passed as soon as possible, and if it is taken again, it is likely to be surrounded by the opponent.

Xia Ze glanced ahead and saw that Lukaku had gotten rid of Koscielny's entanglement and was quickly inserting behind Mertesacker.

Xia Ze understood, and passed by Mertesacker straight to Lukaku.

If this kick can be passed, Lukaku will be a single-handed opportunity.

But it's a pity that Mertesacker is 196 centimeters tall, and with a pair of long legs, he blocked the ball directly to the side.

Oh--

The Everton fans in the stands regretted it for a while, and then there was excited drumming from the Arsenal fans.

Because Arsenal quickly launched an attack after intercepting Xia Ze's pass. Sanchez, Ramsey, Giroud and Ozil played four-on-three in the frontcourt. When they advanced quickly, Everton's players chased back. It's too late.

Sanchez faced Stones on the left, because Coleman had stepped forward to assist and hadn't been able to come back, so there was a lot of gaps in the defense.

Stones fought and retreated, but he had already retreated to the front of the penalty area. If he retreated again, Sanchez would be able to shoot, so he had no choice but to grab it.

But Sanchez didn't choose to go beyond others before Stones made a grab. Instead, he knocked the ball with his back heel and stuffed it near the bottom line.

Ozil puts on from behind him, quickly breaks into the penalty area, and wipes to the front of the small penalty area on the left.

In the middle, Ramsey and Giroud are rushing to respond, and Baines and Jagielka are also defending.

Ozil faced Howard directly, but at a narrower angle, while Sanchez was raising his hand for the ball near the penalty spot, and there was no defense around him.

"He will definitely pass the ball." During the chase, Xia Ze saw this scene, and his heart tightened.

If Ozil passes the ball to the penalty spot and Sanchez shoots unguarded, it is dangerous.

Goalkeepers Howard and Stones also thought the same way, so Howard attacked quickly, and his body moved a step to the far post, ready to intercept the ball when Ozil passed the ball.

The same is true for Stones. After Ozil put on the back, he did not choose to chase and entangle Ozil. Instead, he quickly ran back to Ozil's passing route to intercept Ozil's pass.

If it was normal, Ozil would indeed choose to pass the ball, but at this time his big eyes suddenly turned, and he rubbed the ball lightly with his right foot, directly picking out Howard who was attacking.

He chose to shoot!

And it's a shot!

Such a shot is easy to score when it is single-handed, and it is also easy to be directly scored by the opponent's goalkeeper. It is easy to score goals because of surprise, and it is easy to be scored by the goalkeeper because the ball is slow.

And Ozil actually chose such a shot.

Force, it should be said that he actually chose to shoot.

This is an Ozil who can shoot!
