Chapter 367: Winning by Difficulty
In fact, Sanchez didn't expect Walcott's lob to have any effect. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He already knew very well the characteristics of the English, except fast, or fast, and then there was nothing else.
Therefore, his biggest wish for Walcott's lob shot is to cause chaos in the Dortmund penalty area, and it is also that this kick can send the ball closer to him and allow him to find an opportunity.
Walcott's lob shot was of average quality, and the ball flew over the head of the attacking Weidenfeller and landed towards goal.
Hummels and Subotic showed an extraordinary understanding this time, and the two men didn't bother Sanchez at all.
Hummels, who was a little stronger, ran towards the goal to block the opponent's follow-up shots.
Subotic was a little quicker, so he rushed to the landing point of the ball, clearly ready for the clearance.
"Walcott's lob shot?! The control of this kick is not too good! Oops, hit the pillar! Bounced back into the restricted area! ā
The Arsenal fans were already completely crazy, and the shouts at the scene shook Lin Yi a little dazed.
Sanchez and Subotic are both chasing football, with Sanchez, who is faster and more agile, clearly taking advantage.
It was too late, Sanchez had already caught up with the football, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Subotic pounced on him.
This big guy is fast enough, but unfortunately, it's still a little slower than me.
"Sanchez caught up! It's empty! Push ......"
Duan Xuan, who was explaining this scene, was just relying on his professionalism to analyze, and his heart was actually broken.
Although he is not as obvious as Zhang Lu, he also has a strong personal touch to this game.
Lin Yiyi's performance in the game is good enough, if this kind of play still can't take away a victory, it is too unacceptable.
"Ahh Meritorious service! Weidenfeller actually rushed back, Sanchez's push was not very powerful, and he was hugged! ā
In the face of the empty goal, Sanchez actually had the option of a burst shot, but he felt that there was no need for this, so he just gently pushed it with the arch of his foot, and it was precisely because of this that Weidenfeller was given a chance to show that he was old and strong.
Lin Yi, who watched Weidenfeller's brave save, widened his eyes again and turned his head to look at Kaka.
Kaka also looked incredulous, "I have to admit that Roman is real, a big player......"
In fact, Kaka wanted to say that Weidenfeller was lucky, but after thinking about it, this kind of thing didn't seem appropriate, so he rephrased it.
Weidenfeller lay on the ground with the ball in his arms, his face buried in the turf.
No one could see what his expression was now, only his back was lying together.
Lin Yi let out a sigh and leaned back in his chair, still feeling palpitations.
If it weren't for Sanchez's composure in this shot, this game would have really come to an end.
When Weidenfeller got up, he still held the ball firmly in his arms, as if he were holding his firstborn son.
He waved his hand for the players to move forward, and he held the ball all the way to the front of the penalty area, only to raise his arms and throw the ball out.
With the action of throwing the ball, Weidenfeller let out a roar that seemed to have been suppressed for a long time.
The football was thrown directly by him across the half, and Mechtayan, who answered quickly, received the football.
Mehitaryan, who took the ball, did not impact with the ball like Lin Yi, instead, he turned around and circled the ball and passed it back to Gundogan.
For Dortmund's unhurried pace of play, the Arsenal players only felt like they were going to collapse.
Jurgen Klopp watched with satisfaction the choice made by Mechtajan, where a forward pass was likely to be cut off, and a return pass was the safest option.
Apparently the Dortmund players also realised that they had been pressed too far back and that it was not safe, so this time they pressed the line forward while possessing the ball.
Ramsey is still very physical at the moment, but he has realized that the opponent's possession of the ball is not something that can be dealt with abundant physical strength, and it is difficult for me to cause any absolute reversal in this way of pressing.
Weidenfeller seemed to be in better shape after the crucial save, not only did he take the initiative to take command of the backline, but he also saved Alexis Sanchez's long-range shot from outside the box that went straight to the corner.
And it was the kind of save that held the ball firmly with both hands, leaving no chance for Walcott who wanted to come up and pick up the leak.
Lin Yi kept raising his head and looking at the time, he always felt that time passed quickly when he was on the field, but after getting off the field, he realized that this time passed so slowly, how could there be ten minutes left.
After Weidenfeller's first brilliant save, Klopp seemed to be relieved and finally sat back in his place.
After all, they have worked together for many years and have seen the level of Weidenfeller at his peak, if Weidenfeller really only wants Lin Yi and Kaka to see this, Dortmund's consecutive league championships and Champions League runners-up that year will be difficult to achieve.
In the midst of Lin Yi's incessant watch-and-see and the boos of Arsenal fans, the game time finally came to an end.
3-2, with such a score, the game ended, and Lin Yi, as the captain, was the first to jump up from the bench and rush onto the football field.
He didn't greet his friend Royce, nor did he go to appease Mechtaryan, who came off the bench and could only be said to be decent.
Lin Yi, who rushed onto the court, was the first to run to Weidenfeller, and he quickly ran towards the old goalkeeper who was a little taller than himself.
Weidenfeller raised his gloved right hand and slapped Lin Yi hard.
"Roman! Well done! I was desperate before you hit Sanchez. You know what? ā
Hearing Lin Yi's words, Weidenfeller smiled, "It's no exaggeration to tell you that when I saw Walcoat's hanging shot, I was already desperate." But who would have thought that would be like that? ā
With that, the two men had already gathered with their teammates, and everyone was discussing Weidenfeller's save with enthusiasm.
Obviously they were all inspired by the save and when the game was over, they all came over and praised the old goalkeeper.
Immobile and Mechtaryan, who didn't have much of a good performance after the game, looked a little out of place at this time, and both were clearly annoyed by their poor performance.
Especially Mechtalian, last season, he could also partner with Lin Yi to play a double striker, and Lin Yi is now playing better and better, and his performance is really a bit too much.
Coupled with the introduction of Kaka by the team, it seems that he has become the third choice of the forward midfielder.
Thinking about this, he suddenly felt a tap on the shoulder, and when he turned his head, he saw Lin Yi's face.
"Henrik, let's go for a supper tonight, I invite you to experience the dark culinary culture of Britain."
Mechtaryan understood what Lin Yi meant, and he could figure it out, no matter how sluggish his performance was, it was not caused by Lin Yi, and as a player in the same position as himself, Lin Yi actually told him a lot of tips for the front waist in private.
Weidenfeller won his first "Man of the Match" award of the season with a brilliant save in the second half.
When he was interviewed, what he said was also very truthful.
"Seriously, if his shot wasn't like that, I really couldn't have blocked it."
"So, what about his long-range shot later? That long shot, I really felt like I was going to go in. ā
Weidenfeller is still very realistic, "That ball, that ball I think should be my more exciting play, right?" ā
After a pause, he couldn't help but laugh himself, "That's true, I was able to save that ball, it was unexpected, I just made an attempt, his ball angle is very tricky, and the ball speed is quite fast." I'm just doing what I can, not enough to save that ball, I think it will have a big impact on Arsenal, right? ā
Sanchez couldn't help but swallow after seeing the interview.
"It's not just an impact, I think my nightmares tonight must revolve around this guy."
Ramsey, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard his teammates muttering like this.
"I guess if I had a nightmare, I probably dreamed of going around in a labyrinth and not being able to get out."
Sanchez understood what Ramsey meant, shook his head, and didn't say anything more.
Regardless of the course and outcome of the game, this is only the first round of the group stage of the Champions League and will not have much impact on the big result. Because the other two teams in this group are really not strong enough to pose a threat to teams like Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund. The only thing that Arsenal cares about is the internal rankings of this group.
Arsenal have finished second in the group on several occasions in previous seasons, and unfortunately they have been dismal after a number of dismal exits at the quarter-finals against Barcelona in the quarter-finals.
So in order to avoid this, they still want to be able to get a first place in the group.
As for what should be done to achieve this, that's what Wenger needs to think about.
Jurgen Klopp and his Borussia Dortmund were content to take the three points from the Emirates Stadium, albeit in a difficult process.
After the press conference, Lin Yiluo and the whole team went to London for a walk and had some supper.
I don't know if it's because Dortmund's performance conquered London, in short, the weather is very face-saving, Lin Yi and they were wandering around the city, the rain actually stopped, but the fog was still like that, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.
The food in the UK is really average, and everyone who has come to the UK to play games knows about it, so I ate a little and prepared to go back to the hotel.
Just as everyone was leaving the restaurant together, they were greeted by a guest wearing sunglasses and a hat and holding a fire girl from the bar opposite.
This kind of thing can happen at any time in a place like this, and some of the players at Dortmund have actually done it, so many people don't think about it.
But how sharp Lin Yi's eyes were, and after glancing at the guest, he couldn't help but whisper a question to Royce beside him.
"No wonder your national teammate's physical strength is so unsatisfactory, his consumption may be a little too much, right?"
Royce, who was drinking coffee, hadn't reacted yet, and looked at Lin Yi with a puzzled expression.
Lin Yi raised his chin at the man, "Isn't it Ozil?" ā
Royce, who was reminded by Lin Yi, took a closer look and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lin Yi.
"You have this look, yes, I didn't even see that it was Mesut, you can actually see it?"
"It's normal, after all, I gave him a moment today, and the way he walks looks a little strange now."
In the match, Lin Yi brought down Ozil, and it didn't seem to have any effect at the time.
But after the game, Ozil, who was completely relaxed, checked his legs and found that there were some slight bruises on his ankles, calves and knees.
Royce talked to Lin like this, but his eyes turned to Ozil, who had already gotten into the car with the beautiful woman in his arms.
"Tut-tut, this guy can do it, where did you get such a sexy girl? But then again, I remember he had a girlfriend. What a beast, I'll have to knock him down when the national team training camp. ā
"How do I smell a smell of envy or jealousy?"
Royce ignored Lin Yi's taunt and took out his mobile phone, obviously preparing to harass Ozil.
Lin Yi squeezed his shoulder, "I advise you to take it away, otherwise you will definitely not get the pass from the midfield when you reach the national team." ā
Although he missed several major national team competitions due to injury, Reuss, who must be one of the stable lineups in Germany without injury, weighed it and finally accepted Lin Yi's suggestion.
Everyone went back to the hotel and went back to their rooms.
Lin Yi sat on the sofa and rarely restrained his previous hippie smile.
"Marko, how do I feel like the team is playing a little weird right now."
Royce was stunned, "What do you think is strange?" ā
After being silent for a moment, Lin Yi didn't speak, but took out his mobile phone and called Kaka.
A few minutes later, Kaka also came to the room of the two of them, and looked at Lin Yi with some surprise.
"What? Isn't it going to take the two of us to go to a nightclub with you? Do you want to be like Ozil? ā
Lin Yi didn't have the heart to answer Kaka's inconsequential question, so he asked his own question.
"I thought about it, neither Marco nor I have played in the World Cup, so please ask you, the world champion, to ask for advice. What exactly is the so-called 'World Cup syndrome'? ā
Kaka obviously didn't expect Lin Yi to ask himself such a question, and looked at Lin Yi with a questioning expression.
"I just think that Mats and Roman, as well as a couple of German teammates, have been a little inconsistent at the start of the season."
Kaka took a sip of water, "Actually, there is no basis for this statement, it's more of an discomfort, right?" ā
