Chapter 46: Two consecutive wins in the Champions League group

The man who caught the most eye after the game was naturally Alexis Sanchez, the Chilean striker who shone from behind, scoring three goals in a row to score his first hat-trick in the Premier League and help his team to a comeback victory. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info his wonderful performance, and he really deserves to be the best on the spot.

Qin Shou, who originally returned from injury, should also be the focus of everyone's attention, but because although he performed positively after he played, he did not have a substantial wonderful performance, so the attention was a little smaller. His performance can't be considered bad, after all, he has just recovered from injury, and there is not much time left for him after playing, so it is already very good for an ordinary player to have such a performance.

It's a pity that Qin Shou is not an ordinary player, he is the most valuable number one superstar in the Premier League, and the fans and media are naturally more than a cut above ordinary people in terms of his requirements.

Most fans and reporters expressed their understanding that Qin Shou returned to the stadium after recovering from injury, and it was the time to adapt to the rhythm of the game and find the feeling and state, and it was normal to not have an amazing performance. What's more, the last goal of the comeback victory also came from his "assist" - although he tried to make up for the goal, only to hit the crossbar and was picked up by Sanchez.

Some unscrupulous reporters and newspapers seized on this point and lashed out at Qin Shou again, believing that he was no longer in shape, did not contribute enough to the team, and almost harmed Arsenal could not take all three points away from home...... And so on, and so on.

After all, such voices are in the minority, and most of the media have a positive and welcoming attitude towards Qin Shou's return, believing that as long as Qin Shou quickly adapts to the rhythm of the game, he will soon be able to make everyone's eyes shine again.

No matter what the outside world is like, no matter how loud the noise is, Qin Shou and his teammates have already embarked on the journey of the European League again with the belief of victory.

This is Arsenal's second group game of the Champions League this season, and they will face the old Ligue 1 giants Lyon.

Before the rise of Paris Saint-Germain, Lyon could be described as a well-deserved superpower in Ligue 1, not to mention that they won the league title for seven consecutive years and achieved the hegemony of seven crowns, which no one can match.

And this team has also sent many well-known stars to world football, Jacques, Diarra, Govu, Benzema, Essien, Kupei...... Even Qin Shou's friend Juninho once played for this team for 8 years.

This is a truly strong team with a long history and a proud tradition. However, now, due to poor management and the club's frequent financial situation, as well as the departure of an old group of stars, the lack of fresh blood and other reasons, Lyon has gradually gone downhill, coupled with the strong rise of Paris Saint-Germain, Lyon's Ligue 1 hegemony is no longer there.

However, Lyon are still one of the strongest teams in Ligue 1, as evidenced by their ability to reach the Champions League almost every season.

Of course, the football level of Ligue 1 is naturally not comparable to the Premier League, although it is the same as the top five European leagues, but one is one of the best, the other is the tail of the crane, and Arsenal is the Premier League has always had the strength to compete for the championship.

However, for this game, Arsenal did not dare to take it lightly, and the "lesson" given to them by Sunderland is still vivid. Last time it was their luck, this time, I don't know if there are any players who will be able to step up at the last moment.

In this game, Arsene Wenger sent almost all the main players to devote himself to the battle with Lyon. And Qin Shou was still sitting on the bench in this game and didn't get the chance to start.

The strength of Arsenal with all its strength is really not what Lyon can compete with now, although they are playing at home, but they are at an absolute disadvantage on the field, and in terms of score, Arsenal also took the lead early, in the fourteenth minute, Giroud opened the scoring for the team, his middle grabbing points, a powerful header smashed the opponent's door.

Towards the end of the first half, Walcourt extended his lead to two more goals, and after breaking down the wing, he suddenly got up and shot into the far corner in the opposite direction, still a ball to the ground, and Lyon goalkeeper Vicoutre tried to stretch his arms, but in vain, and finally the ball was successfully found in the net.

2:0, Arsenal's lead was extremely easy, and the advantage was established early.

Just five minutes into the second half, Arsene Wenger made a substitution, replacing Walcott with Qin Shou. Different from the last league game, in the previous game, Wenger let Qin Shou, who had just returned from injury, feel the atmosphere of the game, and now he is gradually increasing his playing time, allowing him to regain his feeling as soon as possible and retake the responsibility of the team.

It's just that what makes Qin Shou speechless is that the fourth official just raised the substitution sign, and he was still standing on the sidelines, but the situation on the field changed abruptly, and the home team, which had been passive, suddenly launched an attack, and finally the French international Gourcuff passed the ball to find Lacazette, who used his speed to shake off Mertesacker and shot a low shot through the goal guarded by Cech.

At 1:2, Lyon pulled a ball back.

The goal came suddenly, which made the Arsenal players a little stunned and a little flustered. Qin Shou came on as a substitute for Walcott, and before he had time to participate in the attack, he could only retreat his position to assist the team in defense, because after the goal, the morale of the Lyon team was greatly boosted, and the previous sluggish momentum of being pressed and beaten was changed, and the opportunity of Arsenal's unstable position was taken advantage of to counterattack.

Qin Shou had to make up for his teammates, and it was at this time that his value was fully reflected, not only was he able to temporarily incarnate a defensive midfielder to fill the loopholes in the defensive line, but at the same time, his super personal ability was also able to control the ball, hold the ball at his feet, and stabilize the rhythm.

In Qin Shou's intentional control, as well as the constant passing, receiving the ball, cooperating with teammates, mobilizing the enthusiasm of the midfield players, and letting them all run, Arsenal finally stabilized and spent this dangerous time. Arsenal, which regained its footing, gradually snatched the initiative back, and Lyon tentatively wanted to continue the attack, but was instead attacked by Arsenal several threatening attacks, and was frightened a lot, and in desperation, he could only shrink back and concentrate on playing defensive counterattacks.

"Okay, well done."

Seeing that the situation on the field was gradually returning to the control of his team, Wenger on the sidelines couldn't help but clap his hands gently. With this control, as well as the ability to control the overall situation, Qin Shou deserves to be the top in world football, and in just a few minutes, what he has shown will make people feel that his high value is worth it.

Wenger was glad that he made a wise substitution, and at the same time, he also felt that Qin Shou's state was completely fine, and it was enough to return to the main lineup in the fierce professional competition.

Qin Shou's next performance also proved this. In other words, Qin Shou is using practical actions to make the most fierce response to the media that criticized him before.

The situation is in the driver's seat, the opponent is completely suppressed, and the next step is to completely turn this advantage into a victory.

In the seventy-third minute, Lyon's defense was torn apart again in the attack group led by Qin Shou, Qin Shou made a highly imaginative through ball, penetrating the entire back line of the home team, and Ozil arrived with a clever slap and an easy pick, sending the football into Lyon's gate for the third time.

1:3!

The die is cast!

Qin Shou, who came on as a substitute, not only helped the team stabilize its position, but also sent an assist to help the team completely lock up the victory.

This goal is decisive, leading by one goal and leading by two goals are two completely different concepts, the former will keep the opponent in doubt, but also put his team in danger at any time, and two goals, can almost pronounce the opponent a death sentence.

"Beautiful goal! Mesut Ozil's volley was very awesome, but I would say that the best part of this goal was Qin's pass...... It's a masterful pass! Unparalleled! ”

"Qin once again responded to all those who questioned him with practical actions, his role, his passing, his everything, is the guarantee of Arsenal's victory!"

"Yes, Qin's state is no problem at all! We can unequivocally declare that the Chinese Qin is back! ”

The commentators at the scene exclaimed one after another, and the game on the field continued. Once again, Arsenal were completely relieved to take a two-goal lead, playing with more ease and confidence, and showing more unstoppable opponents.

In the end, the final result of this Champions League group stage was 1:4, and Arsenal won away from home to win. The final goal came from centre-back Koscielny, who headed in a corner from fellow substitute Rosicky to add the icing on the cake.

With a win in this game, Arsenal reached six points in Group F of the Champions League, and the position of the group leader is unassailable. In the other game, Celtic defeated Greek side Olympiacos 1-0 at home, so that Arsenal were the only team to win two consecutive group games, followed by Celtic with one win and one loss, and the remaining two teams, Lyon and Olympiacos, both teams have one loss and one draw, with only one point, and are temporarily third and fourth in the group.

What is certain is that with Arsenal's current momentum, there is almost no big problem in qualifying for the group or even the top of the group, while the other three teams will have to fight desperately for the second place in the group.

Arsenal left France on the night of the game and rushed back to England overnight. They don't have much time to play this week, and they will face new league opponents at home three days after completing their Champions League second round of group play.
