At half-time, both coaches made new arrangements for their respective teams, but they did not make substitutions, but wanted to use their existing personnel to maneuver, and the game was all about fighting for the top spot in the group. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Schalke can get their wish as long as they draw, and Arsenal wants to knock down Schalke but still need two consecutive wins, and Schalke needs two consecutive defeats, this goal is not easy to achieve, so they can also be more calm, anyway, now for Arsenal as long as it can appear, as for the ranking of the bottom I don't really care, after all, any team that can enter the round of 16 is not easy to solve.

After the start of the game, the two sides continued the midfield destruction tactics in the first half, and neither of them wanted to let the opponent easily raise the speed or show footwork, hoping to stabilize their defense first, and then talk.

However, in the 48th minute, Juan Mata and Raul combined a one-two and fired a low shot into the near corner, which was blocked by Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny with his legs, and then the defender quickly kicked the ball out of the box.

Just when the Schalke players were still a little annoyed that this wonderful combination just now did not produce an effective goal, Arsenal's counter-attack was already underway.

Alexander Song drove the ball forward quickly on the left, and the Schalke players did not defend actively at the beginning and were killed by him from the bag, which made the Schalke players feel nervous, but it was too late. Alexander-Song's cross reached the back post, Van Persie jumped high from the penalty spot and flicked his header at the spot, but when he shot there was no one around him, and such a close range of shots left Zhang Chong, who had been in good form, helpless to watch the ball rush into the net from his own hands. It was also Van Persie's eleventh goal in the last six games, increasing his tally to sixteen this season, which is not comparable to the 26 goals in the Fantasy League and seven goals in the Champions League, but it is also a very staggering statistic.

"Oops, the goal guarded by Saint Zhang Chong has finally been lost. Uncle Deepp shouted in frustration, in his opinion, although this ball can not be blamed on Zhang Chong, but it is still a pity, "We just made a huge mistake in defense, I think it is the reason why we relaxed after the missed opportunity just now, you must know that the opponent we are facing now is the famous Arsenal, they will not give us even a minute of slip time, this is the price of casual relaxation." ”

After Schalke was a little anxious, the goal just now did make them a little shameless, they were still standing on the same running line, and they conceded the goal in a blink of an eye, which also made them a little unbalanced, which also caused several players to start to move bigger. In the 50th minute, Ramsey clashed with Crissito on the flank, and both were given verbal warnings, and three minutes later, Crissito brought down Walcott when he stepped up, and Belgium referee Brickre showed his first yellow card, which was also the first yellow card for the Italy international at Schalke.

However, compared to Schalke's chaos, Arsenal were in full swing, and they finally found a possible way to defeat Schalke, so the attack immediately became stronger.

They almost doubled the lead again in the 60th minute, when Ramsey received Van Persie's return pass into the penalty area, Gervinho slotted past Zhang Chong, who had already attacked, but Matip from behind stabbed the ball out of the line, and then the corner kick did not work, and Cristo immediately pushed the ball out of the box.

In the 63rd minute, Walcott was very unhappy with the linesman's decision, he kept complaining around the linesman, and the referee immediately gave him a yellow card to warn him, which made Walcott calm down a little.

Two minutes later, Gundogan was fouled on the edge of the box and Van Persie fired a free-kick straight at goal from the left side of the field, but the ball hit the wall and smashed into the side-netting. In the 67th minute, Ramsey countered with the ball on the right side, Walket quickly received the ball and fired a powerful shot from the edge of the box to the edge of the net.

"We've been very nervous for a while, and if we go on like this, we're afraid it's going to be difficult for us to hold on, and now we have to make substitutions, but the question is how does Magath change the unfavorable situation on the field? Joaquin plays, or Demba Ba plays?" Uncle Deep's voice was a little low, and he could hear that he was nervous, even if he lost this game, it wouldn't affect the overall situation, but he still didn't want to see Schalke lose the game in front of him.

It's time to make a substitution, but who will play it? This is also what everyone is worried about now, but they can't figure out what Magath should do, and many people's eyes are fixed on Ai Huan. From the game to now, Ai Huan has been sitting next to Magat, he has not even warmed up, which means that in fact he is just a symbol, and there is no difference between sitting there and sitting in the stands.

At this time, there was also a very unexpected thing on the field, after Holterby and Fuchs made a wonderful collision with the wall, the former passed the football to the feet of Mata on the edge of the penalty area, Mata shook the center of gravity of the opposing defender with a shake of his body, and then Mata pushed the ball and was ready to accelerate into the penalty area, and at this time the German defender Mertesacker had rushed over, but the brave and unskilled defender did not touch the football, but knocked Mata to the ground.

The referee, of course, would not have turned a blind eye to the foul and showed a yellow card and awarded a free-kick, just by which time Magath had already jumped to his feet and his assistant coach handed the fourth referee a substitution number plate as quickly as he could.

It was not without precedent for substitutions at this time, so the fourth referee approved it without looking at it, and then looked at the name on it, but immediately looked up in surprise as if he had been shocked, and looked at Magat not far away.

Magath was already on his feet, shouting the names of his players, including Holtby, who was deliberately stalling in his own way, and the concept of stalling for a team that was falling behind did not exist.

"What the hell are they going to do? What's the point of changing people at this time? Can they be replaced?" said Dipper's voice suddenly raised an octave, for even he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

And almost at the same time, Ao Qu Schalke, who had been shouting incessantly, also quieted down in an instant.
