"Ahh Ahh ”

Looking at the ugly face of Zhang Zhetian, Arsène Wenger shook his head. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

It seems that Zhang Zhetian will not be able to play in the afternoon game, but fortunately, the opponent in this game is not strong, as long as Arsenal plays at a normal level, it is not a big problem to advance to the FA Cup semi-finals.

Coming back from Chinatown, Zhang Zhetian, who has always been strong, fell ill inexplicably, and went to the hospital for a check-up, which turned out to be a cold, although it was not a serious illness, just in case, Wenger decided to let Zhang Zhetian miss the afternoon game, recharge his energy, and play in the league next weekend.

"Palm, don't worry, we'll win this game." Héctor Bellerin said to Zhang Zhetian.

Petr Cech raised the glove in his hand and joked: "With me, you won't concede the ball, so you can rest for a few more months." ”

……

Zhang Zhetian was very helpless, how to go to eat a big meal, and then he got sick.

Is it the reason for free?

The cranky Zhang Zhetian looked at the ultra-high-definition TV of more than 60 inches in front of the bedside depressedly, and went crazy in his heart: I really want to play!

11 March 2017, 18:30, Emirates Stadium.

In the FA Cup quarter-finals, Arsenal hosts Lincoln City.

Arsenal starts: No. 33 Cech, No. 24 Bellerin, No. 20 Schkodran Mustafi, No. 6 captain Laurent Koscielny, No. 3 Kieran Gibbs, No. 8 Aaron Ramsey, No. 29 Granit Xhaka, No. 14 Theo Walcott, No. 15 Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, No. 7 Alex Sanchez, No. 12 Oliver Giroud.

Compared with the Champions League starter in midweek, there was no change in other positions except for the absence of Zhang Zhetian due to illness, the Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech came on and Gibbs rotated Nacho Monreal.

Although the opponent was only a team in the fifth division, Wenger did not dare to take this opponent who made it all the way to the quarterfinals, so he put out the strongest starting lineup.

Lincoln City starters: No. 1 Paul Farman, No. 2 Bradley Wood, No. 5 captain Luke Watfol, No. 25 Sheehan Rajitt, No. 3 Sam Habossam, No. 28 Nathan Arnold, No. 30 Alex Woodyard, No. 8 Alan Ball, No. 11 Terry Hockridge, No. 9 Matt Reheid, No. 7 Jack Malden.

The coach of Lincoln City is Danny Cowley, and the assistant coach Nicky Cowley is his younger brother, and he is really a brother.

It may be that seeing that Zhang Zhetian, who has been in the limelight for more than a month, is absent due to illness, Lincoln City obviously has some thoughts about this game, and took the initiative to attack the Arsenal position at the beginning.

After a tough midweek battle, Arsenal seemed to be a little slow to start the game, and were attacked by Lincoln City.

Thankfully, Cech was solid and the opposition didn't get too many absolute chances, and the panicked Gunners were not able to get a quick sneak attack.

In the 10th minute, Bellerin crossed from the right side of the field to the vicinity of the penalty area, and Ramsey followed up with a shot that went just wide of the right post.

In the 14th minute, Gibbs sent a cross from the left side of the field, the defender pushed the ball out, Walcott volleyed from outside the box, Farman fell to the ground to block the ball and hit the right post and bounced out.

"It's a shame." Zhang Zhetian sighed.

In the 27th minute, Arsenal made a substitution, and No. 11 Mesut Ozil replaced Oxlade-Chamberlain.

"Xiao Zhang is injured?" Zhang Zhetian looked at Chamberlain, who was not very happy, and guessed.

A minute later, Trent Alexander-Arnold cut inside on the right flank, shook off a defender and fired a powerful shot that Cech flew to save.

The shot resembled Bayern star Arjan Robben's in-cut shot, but it was from a mediocre angle and was easily saved by a well-positioned Cech.

"Uncle Cut's sword is not old." Zhang Zhetian touched his chin.

Although he has strong self-confidence and believes that he does not lose to anyone, Zhang Zhetian is not arrogant.

In addition to training, observing the characteristics of the opponent's ace players and goalscorers, Zhang Zhetian also learns the techniques of well-known goalkeepers.

Threesome, there must be my teacher.

The famous words of Sage Kong, Zhangzhetian is executed perfectly.

What is a player who kicks a ball with his brain?

What is a player who loves to learn?

Look at Arsenal's No.1, are you ashamed?

In the 34th minute, Sanchez crossed a low flat ball from the left side of the field, and Walcott scored the ball in the penalty area and shot with his left foot, but the ball was blocked by the defender and confiscated by Valman.

Despite a few chances, Lincoln City's dense defence kept Arsenal from scoring, and the concentration and execution of the defensive effort of the fifth tier team impressed many.

Seeing the game enter half-time stoppage time, Arsenal finally took the lead.

Arsenal finally took the lead before the end of the first half after a series of kicks from inside the penalty area, Gibbs set up a shot on the left side, and Walcott, who was unattended, pushed the bottom right corner of the fan.

"It's really not easy, Xiao Wo has scored again." Zhang Zhetian breathed a sigh of relief, England's lower teams are really difficult, no wonder the cup is so unpopular.

In the 48th minute of the second half, Mesut Ozil took a long-range shot after the ball shook out of the gap in the penalty area, and the ball was blocked by a Lincoln City defender and deflected off the left post of the goal.

A minute later, Arsenal sent a through ball from the back, Giroud dribbled to the left side of the box and fired a shot that was well deflected by Farman, who was in good form, before Walcoat won the ball and crossed, but Gibbs, who was unguarded in front of goal, headed high.

In the 53rd minute, Sanchez went straight to the right side of the penalty area, Bellerin followed up with the inverted triangle back pass to the goal, Giroud easily pushed the empty goal, 2-0!

Typical of Arsenal's fluid combination, it was a classic Arsenal-style goal.

In the 57th minute, Bellerin won the ball in the middle of the field and easily passed a defender and pushed it into the middle of the penalty area, but unfortunately it was slightly wide of the right post.

"Almost! Hey, unlucky, Becky. ”

A minute later, Alexis Sanchez crossed across the left and Gibbs followed up with a cross that Watfur accidentally blocked into his own net as he cleared the ball. 3-0, the big picture is decided.

In the 67th minute, Sanchez crossed from the left, and Ozil's header from the middle of the box went over the crossbar.

In the 72nd minute, it was Sanchez again, who took the ball in front of the field and broke through the two-person package and then scored at the top of the arc of the penalty area, a beautiful goal! Arsenal lead 4-0!

Two minutes later, Alexis Sanchez sent in a cross from the left side of the field, and Ramsey at the back post stopped the ball past the goalkeeper and fired into the empty net, 5-0, Arsenal in the second half and the first half were almost the same.

After that, the two sides exchanged attacks and defences, and Cech played steadily to keep the door open, and in the end, Arsenal beat Lincoln City 5-0 to advance to the FA Cup semi-finals.

Sanchez, who scored a goal, scored a game-high 9.7 points and was voted Player of the Match.

Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal all beat each other to reach the semi-finals of the three FA Cup quarter-finals, with Chelsea and Manchester United splitting the winners two days before the semi-final draw can be made.

The Gunners players who returned in triumph looked at the sleeping Shoxiang outside the ward, looked at each other, and smiled.
