Chapter 551: Penalty Kick and Penalty Kick

Just when everyone thought that Li Zihan was going to lose the ball, suddenly he made a feint, shook Thiago in front of him, and then pushed the ball out, the ball passed under Juan Forlan's crotch, and Li Zihan also took advantage of this opportunity to drill through the gap between Thiago and Juan Fran.

"Beautiful!! Very imaginative crotch wearer balls, it's so flexible, three people can't stand him!! ”

Li Zihan, who had crossed the gap between Thiago and Juan Forlan, received the ball behind the two and entered the penalty area.

As the captain of the team, Diego Godin reacted immediately, and the experienced Uruguayan central defender used his body to block Li Zihan's angle, so as to avoid the opponent's kick shot at the first time. As the leader of the Champions League scorer list, Li Zihan is proud of his score of 15 goals, and the opponent is also the top scorer in the Premier League, and the number of 35 goals is also a record of only 34 goals for the best scorer in a single season in the Premier League.

Other players may need time to adjust after receiving the ball in such a hasty pass, but Li Zihan, who has an appeal record, can shoot directly with his feet, and the quality is still very high. That's why Godin blocked Li Zihan's angle in the first place, he didn't want to complete a series of beautiful dribbles for the opponent and then make a wonderful goal - this is completely what Li Zihan is good at.

Li Zihan originally wanted to go past Godin, but he saw another central defender, Miranda, also leaning over, and he changed his mind.

Li Zihan made a direct shot and scared Godin immediately. Stretching out his left leg to intercept, Li Zihan's right foot fell, but instead of shooting, he knocked the ball behind him with his right heel.

Lee fell to Mesut Ozil, and Wilshere cut in at the right time to catch the attention of Miranda and Felipe Luiz. At this time, Li Zihan also successfully passed Godin after passing the ball and passed past the side of the Atletico Madrid captain.

Ozil did not pass the ball to Wilshere, who cut inside, but to Li Zihan, who got rid of Diego Godin, and the German midfielder's pass was accurately sent to Li Zihan slightly forward, so that Li Zihan only needed to run one step to receive the ball. There will be no pass too far away guide zhì Li Zihan has not received the football, the football was hugged by goalkeeper Courtois, nor was it the embarrassment that the ball hit Li Zihan's heel too close.

"Mesut Ozil's beautiful pass!!"

Li Zihan took a step to catch the ball, Miranda obviously couldn't let the opponent get his wish, and he tackled the ball in advance to destroy.

"Lee"

"Miranda!!"

Miranda had some surprises in judging the landing point of the ball, he did not shovel the ball, but shoveled the right leg of Li Zihan who stretched out to receive the ball, and Li Zihan, who was unstable, was directly tackled by the opponent.

"Foul!!"

"The referee blew the whistle and see how the penalty is awarded!!"

Referee Rizzoli blew the whistle without hesitation and pointed to the penalty spot.

"Rizzoli was very decisive and did not hesitate at all. It took a certain amount of courage to give this penalty, because he gave Atletico Madrid a penalty not long ago, and immediately after Li Zihan approached him for a conversation, he gave Arsenal a penalty"

"There is no problem with this goal, in the name of 'Lee never fakes falling', this penalty is completely justified!!"

"As we all know, when Arsenal played Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, they fell to the ground in the middle of the box. At that time, the referee had already awarded the penalty decision, but Li Zihan took the initiative to help the opponent appeal, saying that he accidentally stepped on the shoelaces he opened and fell, and it had nothing to do with Real Madrid. This incident caused quite a stir in the football world at the time, coupled with Lee's self-discipline and excellent performance, the reputation of 'Lee never fakes' is also spreading, so Rizzoli is very decisive in the penalty decision, after all, Lee's golden sign is there! Moldson, the famous football presenter of the BBC, said.

Atletico Madrid's head coach, Argentine Diego Simeone, was not convinced by the decision, and he rushed over and yelled at the fourth official very angrily: "I know you guys are damn balanced!! We were given a penalty and you think they [Arsenal] have suffered, so they were given a penalty as well. I know, it's a damn balance, you just want the final to be nice and suspenseful."

Before Simeone could finish his sentence, he was pulled away by his assistant, Hermann Burges, who was also an Argentine, and Bulgras was worried that if Simeone was allowed to play so "freely", he would likely attract punishment from the referee team, such as a red card or something

Although the replay of the large screen at the Stadium of Light has confirmed that his player is a foul, Simeone himself will never take the initiative to admit it

Due to the depth of the bench, Atletico Madrid had to use Miranda, the main centre-back who had just returned from injury, in this crucial Champions League final. And this foul may also be because Miranda has not yet recovered, and he could have avoided this foul altogether."

"Compared to Belgian centre-back Toby Alderweireld, it is clear that Simeone believes in his fellow South American Brazilian Miranda, and in this case, Simeone would rather use Miranda, who is clearly not in shape, than Alderweireld, who is not injured or sick, and the former sent a surprise to Simeone."

"Miranda has made a total of 32 appearances as the main central defender of Atletico Madrid this season, while Alderweireld has only played a pitiful 12 games, in fact, the strength of the Belgian defender is still there, but it is definitely lacking compared to Miranda, but it is a wise choice to use the Belgian central defender in this case"

"Koscielny, who also gave the penalty gift, Arsenal didn't have many options in that position. Belgian centre-back Vermaelen, who has captained the team this season, is not in good form and is clearly not fit to start in such an important game, and it is even more unreliable to use the likes of Monreal in cameos. And Atletico Madrid actually still have a choice in the position of central defender, at least Vermaelen's Belgian compatriot Alderweireld is good"

The commentators began to complain about Simeone's line-up, and two of Atletico's starting line-up were playing with injuries. Diego Costa has no choice, as the team's top scorer and top scorer, such a game has to be the face of injuries as long as it is not particularly eye-catching. And central defender Miranda, to be honest, can actually consider sitting on the bench, after all, Alderweireld played well at Ajax

Arsenal are obviously in no mood to pay attention to Atletico's deployment of troops, nor do they have time to pay attention to the complaints of those commentators.

According to manager Arsene Wenger, the first penalty taker in this squad was Spanish attacking midfielder Santiago Cazorla. Cazorla hesitated a little and said to Li Zihan: "Otherwise, you should come to this ball." ”

Although Li Zihan has not shown his penalty ability, but in the eyes of his teammates, his shooting skills are so good, and the free kick is also very good, as the least difficult set-piece penalty should be no problem, not to mention that this penalty was originally created by Li Zihan.

Li Zihan wanted to shake his head and refuse, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered something, he lowered his head and whispered something in Cazorla's ear.

After hearing this, Cazorla looked at Li Zihan with a strange expression, and finally nodded.

"Arsenal is making penalty arrangements, Cazorla wants Li to take this penalty, but it seems that Li did not agree, the two are whispering something, could it be that Li Zihan, who has never been penalized from a penalty, is teaching Cazorla experience? It's not the right script."

"Arsenal's penalty!! Look at how Cazorla plays this ball, and the tall and long-arm Belgian international Thibaut Courtois is also an expert in saving penalty kicks. He's not as clumsy as other big men, but he's very quick and has saved penalties from two world-class players, Cristiano Ronaldo and Leon Messi, in his seasons at Atletico Madrid, so Arsenal can't rest on their laurels."

Cazorla came to the penalty spot to set up the football, and the thoughts in his mind were very complicated now, and what Li Zihan said to him before made him a little uneasy.

Is this really possible?

Cazorla was hesitant and questioning.

"Sandy!!"

Cazorla heard someone calling to him, and he didn't know whose voice it was because of his lack of concentration, so he reflexively turned his head to look for the source of the sound.

Outside the penalty area, he quickly found the person who called him.

Li Zihan stood outside the penalty area and raised his thumb at Cazorla, who was looking back at him!

Lee was cheering on Cazorla, and it was clear that the Arsenal players understood their situation. They are now one goal behind and desperately need this penalty equaliser. At the same time, they are facing Courtois, who has won the La Liga Golden Glove Award over Casillas and Valdés for two consecutive seasons, which is no easier than facing Saint-Igor!! ”
