With Wang Li's goal, the score on the field became 1:0, and the total score of the two legs became 5:2. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This goal made the mood of the Arsenal players even lower, if they want to eliminate Real Madrid, they have to score at least three goals, for a game, the gap of three goals is indeed a bit big.

However, Arsenal's players looked imposing and they didn't give up on the goal.

It will be a very meaningful season for Arsenal as they will move into the new Emirates United Stadium, which began construction in 2004, and Highbury Stadium will be demolished.

When that day comes, they won't even have a chance to come back and see.

Therefore, many players who love Arsenal deeply hope to win some titles this season to end this beautiful period, and the same is true for Arsenal fans, who have not given up on the stadium for hundreds of years.

It was this situation that led Wenger to put forward the idea that 'the goal is the champion', and they need the champion to soothe the hearts of parting.

It's hard to explain the kind of love a team has for a pitch, it's like a mother's embrace, or the feeling of home. Other players have an inseparable relationship with Highbury Stadium in their careers, such as Thierry Henry, who is known as the 'King of Highbury' by fans, who has scored countless goals at Highbury Stadium and helped the team win victory after victory.

So if it moves to a new stadium and the old stadium is demolished, what should it be called?

The love for the team, the hometown, the tears and sweat again and again, at that time, these can't even be recalled.

For Arsenal FC, moving to a new stadium is a development, a new beginning, but it is really hard to accept for the players and fans who love Arsenal so much.

At Arsenal, there are many such players, such as Thierry Henry, Bergkamp.

In Arsene Wenger's era, Arsenal cultivated one star after another, these stars had a deep relationship with Highbury Stadium before they became famous, and their feelings for Highbury are difficult for others to imagine, just like a wanderer who has good feelings for his hometown and has deep memories, wants to return to that land to see, but finds that his hometown has long been gone.

It's a no-brainer, and for Arsenal, perhaps a European champion will soothe their wounded hearts.

So, now that they're three goals behind, do Arsenal still have a chance?

A lot of fans were a little desperate, but the Arsenal players on the pitch were using their performances to answer their questions.

The attack on the pitch has been going on for 10 minutes, and in those 10 minutes, Arsenal have a staggering 73 per cent possession and eight shots on goal, while Real Madrid are almost completely suppressed.

When a team that is obsessed with it explodes, it's hard to imagine what they can do.

Wang Li looked at the anxiety in the backfield, and felt a little timid in his heart. In these 10 minutes, he completely became a free man on the field, it should be said that a free man, when Arsenal began to attack, he stood in front of the field and was ready to counterattack at any time, in his opinion, Arsenal such a big attack, there must be loopholes in the backfield, when he receives a pass, he has a great chance to score.

However, Arsenal, with a tenacious will and desperate spirit, told Wang Li that our attack would not stop at all.

'The ball was cleared by Ramos, Cesc Fabregas grabbed the ball, passed it to Thierry Henry, and knocked his heel back! Adebayo volleys! It's a pity that the football hit Carlos."

"Fabregas again, he passed to Pire, Pire broke through Carlos with the ball, hoisted cross, Henry!! The football was pushed out of the box by SiciΓ±o"

'Arsenal's free-kick Pire missed, but it didn't matter, Eboue got the ball down the middle and Campbell shot from distance!! The ball was confiscated by Casillas"

The next time completely became Arsenal time, in order to score Arsenal pressed all the way, giving Real Madrid great pressure, and football has been hovering in the Real Madrid half, and occasionally Real Madrid's counterattack is always the end of the snake's tail.

However, Arsenal seemed to be in a bit too anxious, and although they were very aggressive and looked like they would not give up until they achieved their goal, Arsenal still failed to score.

Arsenal is like a little virgin who has never watched a movie, anxiously looking at the tempting Taoyuan secret cave - Real Madrid goal, but no matter how you shoot, the football has been hovering by the goal, and it is always not allowed to enter the goal.

Of course, Casillas' membrane is also strong and reliable enough.

But although they didn't score, they still beat Real Madrid without the power to resist, and the poor Real Madrid struggled helplessly again and again, but was forced under Arsenal's attacking frenzy again and again.

Real Madrid are in danger of conceding goals.

Seeing this situation, Wang Li thought about it, but still did not return to the backcourt.

Now the team is in crisis, but they have a three-goal advantage in hand, even if Arsenal score one, it doesn't matter much, and if there is a good chance, then they can score another goal, so Arsenal will almost lose.

What is the difference between a three-ball and a four-ball?

Three goals can be chased, four goals are desperate, that's the difference.

It's a pity that Wang Li has never got a chance, Arsenal's attack is too fierce, there is no break between attack and attack, the Real Madrid players finally grabbed the ball, and they were immediately counter-robbed, and even Casillas's pass was slightly crooked, and it was directly snatched away by the Arsenal players.

This let Wang Li know that when a giant team explodes at full strength, it is a pity that Arsenal is too eager to score goals, and the last shot always fails to score.

Wenger was a little worried, and he turned his head to look at the brunette boy in Arsenal's half, and his worries were even more serious. But there is nothing he can do now, when the team is three goals behind, how can he tie the score without this kind of attack?

On the other side of the Real Madrid coach's seat, Carlo was also in a hurry.

The team finally gained an advantage, he didn't want to lose it in vain, although Real Madrid still has a three-goal advantage, but losing one is one less, and now in this case, Real Madrid don't talk about counterattacking, it's good to keep the goal.

So, Carlo walked out of the dugout again and wanted to direct the team's defense from the sidelines.

Unfortunately, he failed this time, because the clutter in the stands directly flooded Carlo, and he had to hide back in the dugout - the dugout was covered, but the Arsenal fans could not attack.

Arsenal fans certainly won't let Carlo take command.

At the beginning, neither team scored, Wenger and Carlo commanded the team together, Arsenal fans were able to tolerate it, but now it is clear that the team is in crisis, Arsenal must let go of the attack, if the other side of the annoying manager is in command again, then what if Arsenal does not score?

With that in this case, do you still want to command the team? Don't even think about it!

That's what the fans are looking at.

Unfortunately, even so, Arsenal failed to score until the end of the first half, and Real Madrid finally made it to the last minute of the first half.

"Beep"

With a shrill whistle from the referee's mouth, most of the Real Madrid players sat straight on the grass, and the pressure was too high in the final stretch of the first half.

Of course, there are also those with less pressure, such as Wang Li.

In the last 5 minutes, he didn't touch the ball at all, but no one blames him, Real Madrid has most of the offensive tasks on Wang Li, and the first half was also scored by Wang Li, no one questioned his lack of involvement in defense, after all, everyone knows that he is for the team to play a counterattack

In the home dressing room at Highbury Stadium at half-time, Arsene Wenger kept the emphasis on attack.

"We just need to attack, don't defend or worry about that brunette kid, all we need is offense!!"

At this time, Wenger has long lost his usual calmness, but encouraged with excitement: "This is Highbury Stadium!" It's our turf, and now we are three goals short of the Champions League, so we need to score as soon as possible. ”

"Next year, the stadium will disappear in north London, and you will never see it again, do you want to leave some memorial here?? This season I want the team to win the Champions Cup, and now it is Real Madrid who stand in front of you, they are the galaxy, the best team of the 20th century, very strong, but we are young Arsenal!! We are not afraid of any opponent!! ”

"But it should be noted that when you shoot at the end, don't be too anxious, and find a good opportunity to shoot with a higher success rate."

In Wenger's encouragement, the Arsenal players were also inspired by this kind of words, Wenger really rarely encourages the players, he usually only arranges tactics, and some players think that they will not be able to see Highbury next year, and their eyes are a little red and swollen.

For players who love Arsenal dearly, this is a real struggle

At the same time, in the away dressing room, Carlo also emphasized the tactics of the second half: "We need to defend well, in the second half everyone except Allen has to play defensively, and if necessary, we have to shrink the defence. ”

Seeing the slightly puzzled eyes of the players around him, Carlo continued: "We have a three-goal advantage in hand, there is no need to fight with them, as long as we hold the goal, the victory is ours." ”

At this time, the players nodded one after another, it is much easier to play purely defensively than against the attack, according to the level of Arsenal's attack at the end of the first half, it is indeed too risky to play against them, even if the team has Wang Li.

There may have been some reasons why Arsenal didn't score in the first half, but more often than not, Real Madrid retreated across the board, and the shots they looked for were not too good.

And if the attack continues, Real Madrid's formation is bound to stretch out, so it will be much easier for Arsenal to score.

"By the way, I think you should play differently."

The players were still thinking about the way to play in the second half, and the locker room fell silent, but Wang Li suddenly spoke, and for a while, all the players' eyes looked at him.

Wang Li waved his hand and said, "Yes, what I'm talking about is a different way of playing, when the siege is cleared." ”

He thought about it again before slowly explaining: "I was in the front court just now, and I wanted to get the ball to launch a counterattack, but for ten consecutive minutes, the ball failed to pass through half the court. When you clear the siege, you are used to driving off the pitch or passing directly to others, and Arsenal is using this gap to constantly complete counter-attacks. ”

"I've seen it very clearly from the front, that's pretty much it, so the next time you clear the game, pay attention to the big feet and drive forward, if I can get a chance, I can cause problems for them."

After listening to Wang Li's explanation, his teammates nodded clearly, and Carlo's eyes lit up.

The style of play of Real Madrid players is close to that of South America and Spain, even in the backfield, when the players get the ball in the backfield, few people will directly drive to the front, but are accustomed to gradual counterattacks, even if they are quick counterattacks, they are mainly based on short passes, and the regular attack is very similar to Barcelona, which has been constantly pouring in the backfield in order to find opportunities.

This style of play is not wrong in normal times, but now the team has to defend, and there is only Wang Li in the frontcourt, if according to the British style of play, after receiving the ball, the long pass is rushed, and the big foot is driven to the front, then Wang Li's chances of winning the ball will definitely increase.

At this time, his teammates looked at Wang Li and thought about his speed and dribbling ability, and they all pinched a cold sweat for Arsenal.

If Arsenal continue to press hard and let this brunette get the ball in the front court, then the 1 or 2 defenders will be exactly the same as the decoration, then the team's offensive chances will definitely increase greatly.

Of course, Carlo can also think of this, and the head coach who doesn't want to be graceful and want results even patted his head directly and whispered: "Why didn't I think of it earlier"

In fact, Wang Li also just thought of it.

At Chelsea last season, everyone played around him, and almost all players would be used to looking forward and looking for him after winning the ball at the back, but after arriving at Real Madrid, these Real Madrid teammates obviously did not have this habit.

Real Madrid's style of play and tactics are very different from Chelsea's style of play and tactics, although he himself is very skilled, he feels that he is more inclined to the English style of play, which is incompatible with the team's style, which makes him stronger, but his performance in Real Madrid is not much stronger.

After watching the first half of the game, he only thought of this, which may be described as a flash of inspiration
