Chapter 190: It's hard to fight
After the goal, Podolski ran past Lin Yi's eyes, although it was not deliberately mocking, but it still made Lin Yi a little unhappy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The script written before the game is not like this, when did Arsenal become so efficient in attack?
Weidenfeller silently took the ball out of the goal, he knew how Podolski was shooting, but unfortunately he couldn't stop it.
"It feels like at this point in the game, the Dortmund players are not mentally prepared for such a situation."
"Actually, I was surprised to see Arsene Wenger put Podolski on the pitch today, and I was even more surprised to see him score."
'I just looked at the profile and today is Podolski's first start of the season and his first goal of the season.
Klopp on the sidelines also knew this, in fact, he was still snickering when he first saw Podolski playing, could it be that Wenger has no striker to use? But it was only now that he realized that Arsene Wenger's arrangement was just too effective.
It is really intolerable that his own team has become a stepping stone for Podolski to find his form.
Lin Yi and Lewandowski once again stood in the middle circle, and Lewandowski also lifted his jersey and wiped the rain on his face, this game was really uncomfortable.
Koscielny is very fast, and his body is not inferior to himself, Vermaelen has amazing bounces, has a good defense of high-altitude balls, and has a good sense of supplementation, so he has not bargained for anything from them at all.
"It seems that the positional attack will not be too useful, and Koscielny will defend well if he counterattacks, so let's try a long-range shot."
Lewandowski is a no.9, but his skills are well-balanced and he can pose a threat wherever he shoots.
"Okay, the game started again, Lin Yi passed the ball back to Gundogan's feet this time, it seems that it is not so easy to play a surprise attack with Arsenal today, so let's control the football first. Let's keep the pace of the game. ā
Arsenal are not in a hurry at all, with a two-goal advantage in hand, and there is no panic at all, while Dortmund want to attack but can't find a chance.
The situation is so deadlocked. Arsene Wenger's layout today is indeed sophisticated, completely limiting Dortmund's strong points.
Lewandowski didn't get a chance and could only keep retreating, which gave Vermaelen time to anticipate Dort's attacking direction and make up for it.
Lin Yi was not seen dead by Arteta, but his passing today was always muddy. It's not as much of a threat as it used to be.
Mechtaryan was even more embarrassed, as he was like an outsider in the first half, not even touching the ball a few times.
Fortunately, he is a player who will find things to do on his own, although he does not play in attack, but he is still very serious in defense.
And Wenger's Dort's backline, which destroyed the rhythm with a substitution, is the most unhappy at the moment.
Hummels is actually very good at pressing the attack, but in the past 20 minutes, this advantage has not been played at all.
Klopp looked at the substitutes around him and didn't know who to replace when he made a substitution.
I can only replace Pierre and rely on his speed to fight. But Koscielny, it's really not slow.
Lin Yi on the field was still controlling the football, but his possession of the ball today was very different from before, and he had no usual spirituality at all.
Several attempts to pass forward were unthreatening, and in the end they could only pass the ball back or cross to Mechtalian.
The rain was still falling, and the field was getting more and more slippery, which made Lin Yi, who wanted to rely on his personal breakthrough to hit a few long-range shots, even more uncomfortable.
Arsenal's players are obviously more accustomed to the weather, and they have the advantage, the mentality is better and they play smoothly.
Lin Yi is in the middle and wants to try to break through Arteta. Success is success, but he slipped and fell to the ground.
Arteta was taken aback, and his first reaction was to raise his hands to signal that referee Lin Yi's fall had nothing to do with him.
It turned out that he was thinking too much, and the referee happened to be in the eyes of the rain when Lin Yi fell. Didn't see anything.
Seeing that he was safe, Arteta turned to control the ball at his feet and looked reflexively into the opponent's half.
Mesut Ozil has also reduced his running position when his team is basically already on the verge of victory, and his face does not look so red.
'Mikel Arteta played the ball wide and it was Cazorla who picked it up, so Arsenal's attacking players did well today. Cazorla also played his part on the flanks and created a lot of threats in a row. ā
Not only that, Cazorla continued to create a threat, facing Piszczek's forward pressure, this time he did not make any extra moves, directly swayed on the spot, and then played a one-two with Ozil in the middle to pass Piszczek directly.
As he dribbled forward, Arsenal's entire formation was pressed forward and they saw another chance to score.
Cazorla has taken the ball to the bottom line, a position that makes Arsenal players feel very insecure.
Podolski didn't grapple with Hummels in the box, and once again he retreated outside the box as he had done before.
Hummels didn't dare to chase out and defend, so he had to stand in the box and wait for his opponent's cross.
This time he was not wrong in his judgment and Cazorla did not hesitate to cross after going down.
The ball crossed a long arc and fell into the middle of the penalty area, but the person who received the ball was more surprising.
Ramsey, who has not yet shot in this game, has slipped into the Dortmund penalty area at some point, jumped up and shook his head!
Weidenfeller's attention was focused, but just as he was about to make a save, a drop of rain fell into his eyes.
Out of instinctive reaction, Weidenfeller subconsciously closed his eyes, because it was a rainy day, and the football was relatively slippery, so the flight route after processing was inevitably a little deviated, and Weidenfeller's closed eyes just let his outstretched hand rub with the football.
Jurgen Klopp was already covering his eyes on the sidelines, he really didn't want to see his team concede three goals in the first half.
But the whistle did not sound, and the cheers and celebrations that came from the audience were not as they should be, but sighs.
Klopp put down his hand and saw that he breathed a sigh of relief, and the ball that Weidenfeller did not pounce on hit the post, and then bounced to the middle, and after landing, Weidenfeller quickly threw the ball into his arms.
Even Lin Yi, who has always behaved calmly, stood there secretly happy for a few seconds, this goal did not score, it is really God bless.
Ramsey shook his head regretfully, he didn't know how many celebrities were relieved at this time, but it was just a pity for his goal.
Weidenfeller still drove the ball forward with a big foot. This ball is a dangerous object today, so I better not let it appear in front of my eyes, so I thought Weidenfeller drove the ball forward with a big foot.
The force of his kick was surprisingly great, and the ball flew almost straight into the Arsenal penalty area. And the moment he kicked the ball out, a figure chased the ball at great speed from the middle circle.
"Oh! Lewandowski is finally free from the entanglement of his opponent, which is a good opportunity, and Szczesny is also on the move! It's up to the two of them to be faster! ā
Lewandowski wasn't as fast as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, but he was enough to threaten Szczesny's goal in this situation.
Lewandowski on the run estimated the distance between himself and Szczesny. Looks like an opportunity!
Just when he caught up with the football and was about to stab him directly, Szczesny actually broke out and pounced in front of him in two steps!
Lewandowski watched the opponent's body sink in front of his eyes, and he pressed his toes to turn into a stab.
As a top striker, Lewandowski's reflexes and adjustments, as well as the choices he made in the split second, were excellent.
As a teammate of the national team, Szczesny naturally knows Lewandowski's strength better than others, and if he rushes to the penalty area, he can only sit and wait. So strike anyway.
Lewandowski was about to mention that Szczesny clearly didn't want his team-mates' performances to be dusted by his mistakes, and he reached out.
After the football hit the ground, it bounced, and Lewandowski was about to touch the ball, but before touching the ball, he first touched Szczesny's hand, and Szczesny was also startled and hurriedly retracted his hand, but this had the effect of pulling.
Lewandowski definitely didn't have the idea of faking a fall, but this time the interference with him was too great, and he fell out at once.
Szczesny just felt his brain go blank. Finished! This is a red card! Thinking so, he hurriedly got up.
After getting up, Szczesny first turned to look at Lewandowski, brother, usually the relationship is good, don't be like this. Get up and help me with a word.
He was so cranky that he wanted to reach out and pull Lewan up, but he suddenly changed his mind, no! Why didn't the referee blow the whistle? That means he doesn't think I'm foul? Then I should go pick up the ball!
As a professional athlete, in fact, he often moves faster than he thinks, so he has already picked up the ball before Lewandowski gets up.
Lewandowski got up. It was he who felt that Szczesny's foul was obvious and that the referee could have made a decision anyway.
"Let's see! This ball, huh? This should be a penalty and a red card! But the referee didn't say anything? ā
After getting up, Lewandowski realized that Szczesny had driven the ball back to his home with a big foot, and he had to yell at his national team team-mate.
"Hey! Man, what are you doing? Penalties. ā
The frightened Szczesny tried not to make too irritating expressions, and spread his hands calmly.
"What did you say? Penalty kick? The referee didn't blow it! ā
In fact, it doesn't make sense for him to say this, because Lewandowski has already rushed to the referee.
"Mr. referee, he tripped me just now, it was a penalty and a red card! I thought his foul was obvious enough! ā
The referee turned his head to look at Lewandowski, just said "keep playing" and ignored him.
In fact, not only Lewandowski, but all the personnel of Dortmund thought that the penalty was not running at that moment, but the referee arbitrarily awarded no foul and let the game continue.
Naturally, the players on the pitch have to rest like this, because the opponent controls the football and they have to defend.
But Klopp didn't intend to just give up, he ran to the linesman, and shouted with emotion.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who was sitting behind him, didn't pull him even if he wanted to, my God, the coach was actually faster than me......
"Oops, it looks like Klopp is in a lot of mood right now, he's not very rational to run up to the linesman like this."
Fortunately, Klopp had already adjusted his emotions when he ran to the linesman, and when he came to the linesman who had been soaked by the rain, he asked softly, "Dude, is there really no foul on the other side of the single knife just now?" ā
The linesman was actually not very sure, but his face was very resolute, and he shook his head, "No, it's raining, the turf is slippery, and your No. 9 fell by yourself." ā
Klopp gritted his teeth, muttered in his mind that he had fallen on you, and turned back to his seat.
By this time, the ball had once again been played to the edge of the Dortmund penalty area, and this time Hummels was close to Podolski, with Papastathopoulos behind him to help make up for it.
Mechtaryan stared at Ramsey who got the ball, Ramsey was not in a hurry, playing in such weather and environment, the field was originally slippery, and the rain also had an impact, once you were in a hurry, the action would inevitably be deformed, and the effect would be far from what was expected.
Mechtaryan kept squeezing Ramsey to the side, and Ramsey, who didn't have a good spot, just took the ball to the side step by step.
Arsenal fans were tossing and turning in the stands at this time, singing songs.
It wasn't a vain game, that's what most of them think, not only was it exciting both offensively and defensively, but their team also got the win.
Lin Yi, who had not been able to organize the team's offense for several minutes, was very annoyed, and the opposite backline was obviously not very strict in his defense, but he just couldn't help his team.
Seeing Ramsey take the ball to the side, Lin Yi also retreated to the center circle, he rarely came here, but now he decided to retreat here, looking for an opportunity to catch the ball and try to do something for the team on his own.
Ramsey was squeezed all the way to the flanks by Mechtayan and just as he tried to bring the ball back to the middle, he suddenly found that there was no chance.
Gundogan had somehow outflanked him and was stuck in the direction he could adjust.
The two men trapped themselves on the flank, Ramsey turned to pass the ball, and Mechtayan, who had been waiting for this opportunity, suddenly stretched out his foot and poked the ball directly under his feet.
It was too late for Ramsey to counter-attack, Gundogan grabbed the ball the moment it was poked off, and then turned around and passed the ball to Lin Yi again.
This time, the pass was much easier than before, because he was very close to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi took the ball back and bent down slightly, although this game is already difficult to play, but if you admit defeat like this, what's the difference between it and salted fish?! (To be continued.) )
