Chapter 584: There were only two minutes between the lead and the equalizer
Li Zihan took the caddy's hand and stood at the front, which was his position as the captain. As the captain of Juventus, Buffon also stood at the front of the team, shoulder to shoulder with Li Zihan.
The game hadn't started yet, Li Zihan and Buffon were talking and laughing with each other, and it seemed that both sides were in a good mood, and there was no tension.
And when they just came out of the locker room, Vidal, Pirlo and others came up to greet each other.
Li Zihan, who was standing in the players' tunnel, had already heard the singing of the fans outside, he was very familiar with this singing, he had been in this stadium for a season, how could he forget the sound of the Juventus stadium so quickly?
When Li Zihan walked out of the players' tunnel with his new teammates and Buffon, the expressions on Li Zihan and Buffon's faces were very strict, and they didn't even look at each other, as if they didn't know each other, and no one knew that they were still laughing and chatting with each other three seconds ago.
And the moment they appeared, the Juventus Arena, which was still thunderous, suddenly became surprisingly quiet.
"Juventus fans have very mixed feelings about Lee, so when Lee once again stepped onto the lawn he knew so well, the Bianconeri fans didn't know how to face him." Zhan Jun said.
And when the Champions League theme song was played and the necessary ceremonies had been carried out, the Juventus fans continued to sing for the team.
They cheered for the team and directly chose to ignore Li Zihan, just like this game itself was a game against an unfamiliar enemy.
At the beginning of the game, Arsenal chose to take the initiative to attack, and Li Zihan was very active in taking the ball as soon as he came up, and then launched an attack towards Juventus' backfield.
When Li Zihan took the ball and attacked Juventus, the stands resounded with boos from Juventus fans. It was mere booing, not accompanied by invective.
Li Zihan turned a deaf ear and stared intently at the goal guarded by Buffon.
But just as he was about to kick, Vidal rushed up and directly put down Li Zihan.
"Li Zihan was put down by Vidal, although they are good friends, but the two are really not soft when they are in close combat!"
Vidal pulled Li Zihan up from the ground, and Li Zihan patted the other party's back, and then the two threw themselves into a new match, and there was no communication between them.
Both sides were fighting for the win, and in the eighth minute, Juventus attacked, and the tacit trio of Andrea Pirlo, Vidal and Marchisio played the ball up front with a beautiful behind-the-back play.
Morata picked up the ball and fed Tevez a through ball, who received the ball and fired straight at goal, but it went wide.
"The Beast" Tevez shook his head regretfully!
In the tenth minute, Arsenal attacked again. Li Zihan and Sanchestone Guò attacked Juventus's side on the side, and after attracting the attention of the opponent and the defensive strength, Li Zihan passed the football to the middle, and the follow-up Pogba shot directly from a distance!
The ball flew towards Buffon, and the Italian veteran reacted very quickly, a leopard-like pounce that directly held Pogba's shot in his arms!
Pogba shook his head regretfully.
Gianluigi Buffon, on the other hand, stood up and expressed his displeasure with the backline in front of him, arguing that the midfielder did not protect enough from the edge of the box. But at this time, he remembered that there was no Pogba on his side, although Pirlo had worked hard to participate in the defense, but after all, he was not a professional defensive player, and Vidal had been taken to the side by Li Zihan, and Pereira and Marchisio in the middle were more inclined to attack.
Veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon shook his head, at this time he missed the twin stars of Pogba and Li Zihan very much. At least when he had two of them before, he never worried about the goal, because the opponent was often overwhelmed by Juventus and suppressed in the opponent's half.
Juventus focused their attention on Li Zihan, but forgot that in addition to Li Zihan, Arsenal actually had other people, such as Pogba and Ozil and Ramsey in the middle, and Sanchez on the other side.
Fans in the stands were constantly cheering on their teams, and the Arsenal players booed when they got the ball.
In the end, after 38 minutes of the first half, Juventus, playing at home, got a chance. Andrea Pirlo wanted to play the ball for Alvaro Morata but changed his mind when he saw Ramsey pressing up. The Italian brain core made a feint and then attracted Ramsey to force it.
A foul was eventually committed and Juventus were awarded a well-placed direct free-kick up front.
Andrea Pirlo came to take the free-kick, ignoring the wall in front of him and shooting straight at goal. The standard ball of fallen leaves ended up in the Arsenal goal. Szczesny couldn't do anything but watch with regret as the ball went into the net.
The stands at the Juventus Arena were filled with the singing of Bianconeri supporters as the team finally scored
Ramsey looked at Szczesny, who looked at Ramsey, and the two ended up looking at each other and smiling wryly.
Li Zihan took the football from behind his teammate Szczesny, and then returned to the center circle without saying a word to wait for the kick-off. And the Arsenal players are no stranger to this scene and immediately returned to their positions.
The Juventus fans in the stands were in a trance, once upon a time, when Juventus was behind, Li Zihan also rushed into the goal to report the football in this way to save time.
Juventus' celebration of the goal lasted for a minute, and after battling with Arsenal for so long, it was natural to celebrate, after all, they were beaten by the opponent last time away from home.
After Li Zihan kicked the ball, he immediately ran forward. Ozil had a good idea right away. passed the football back to Li Zihan, Li Zihan did not stop the ball, but stretched out his foot and kicked the football to Harry Kane, and then rushed past Marchisio beside him.
Harry Kane also kicked the ball and immediately passed the ball back to Li Zihan, who had gone behind Marchisio.
Li Zihan received the football behind the opponent, and Vidal pressed it up, wanting to intercept and steal. And Li Zihan made a feint that directly broke through the past with speed, which in Vidal's impression, this is what he is good at.
So the Chilean all-round midfielder immediately stretched out his foot to break the ball, but Li Zihan divided the football, and then walked around his former teammate Vidal, and even directly dodged Vidal's hand that stretched out to pull the jersey for his friend's small movements.
Sanchez received a ball from Li Zihan on the wing, he took a big step, and then directly used his speed to overtake Lissteiner. The Swiss full-back's physique is still good, but as a white European, his speed is naturally not as fast as Sanchez.
So the Chilean winger walked past his side, and the Juventus players never expected Arsenal's attack to come so quickly and so sharply, and they were not ready for a while.
Sanchez didn't observe the situation after getting the ball, but started to dribble the ball directly to the bottom line, and the speed was very fast, which was to prevent the opponent's Lixi Steiner from pressing, such a weakness was that Chambers behind him did not have time to deal with the side.
Feeling that the central defender in the middle had not yet come to fill the position, Sanchez dribbled towards the inside. And at this time, Bonucci couldn't help it, and if it continued like this, sooner or later the Chilean would have to face goalkeeper Buffon directly, which was a taboo for the central defender.
So Bonucci immediately came over to fill in the position, wanting to block Sanchez's way and buy time for his teammates who returned to defend by the way.
But Sanchez made a sudden stop and passed the ball out.
The ball made its way through the gap between Bonucci and Chiellini and rolled towards the penalty spot in the penalty area. Li Zihan suddenly stepped in from the middle at this time, and left Chiellini behind at once.
"Hit the back!! This is Li Zihan's terrifying speed!! Juventus are now going to face the monster they have created!! ”
Chiellini turned and wanted to chase back, but speed was never his strong point, and his turn was not fast, so when he looked at the goal, he could only see Li Zihan's back.
Buffon felt a thrill in his heart, and immediately abandoned the door and rushed towards the football that was still rolling on the lawn, while Li Zihan followed in front of him to grab the football.
From the camera in the middle of the stadium, the two look very much like double dragons!
When Li Zihan was about to get close to the football, he immediately slid and tackled himself, and Buffon also slid down to save the ball.
But in the end, Li Zihan, who was well prepared and had the best advantage in speed, received the football before the opponent, and then directly hit the goal with a sliding shovel.
The ball flew up, hit Buffon's outstretched palm, and bounced into the goal.
“GOOOOOOOOAL!!!!”
Li Zihan !! He equalised for Arsenal! Chinese youngsters still play the role of heroes!! ”
"This goal is so beautiful, Li Zihan's interspersed running and receiving, Ozil and Sanchez's tacit cooperation, the trident finally scored another wonderful three-man cooperation!"
"Now that the two sides are back on the same starting line, it seems that everyone attaches great importance to this game, rather than treating it as an unimportant event for training!"
After the goal, Li Zihan did not celebrate much, he made a gesture to signal that he did not celebrate the goal, and then did not go to the goal behind Buffon to report the football, but simply walked to the center circle of the court.
Facing his old club, Li Zihan once again chose not to celebrate after scoring a goal! It's a reflection of his work ethic! ”
Buffon stood helplessly in front of his goal, just now he and Li Zihan collided together, and in the end Li Zihan pulled him up.
In the face of Li Zihan, Buffon is actually still very stressed, because he can't look at him with ordinary eyes.
