Chapter 505: Arsenal in Shadow
Chapter 505: Arsenal in Shadow
After Li Zihan left the field, Arsenal's attack fell into a quagmire, and they had no good way to attack. In the past, when Li Zihan was on the court, they handled the ball very simply, kept passing and cooperating and then handed it to Li Zihan to Li Zihan to launch a fatal blow, or Li Zihan cooperated with them after his personal breakthrough.
Now that Li Zihan is no longer on the pitch, their attack is very monotonous, relying on Giroud's header and Wilshere's shot.
"Arsenal are now suffering from Lee dependency, as if they don't know how to play without Lee Ball. Lee's strong performance is really not a good thing or a bad thing for Arsenal."
"Arsenal should be out of action in this game, and since the miracle boy left, Arsenal's ending should have been doomed."
As Herhouse said, Arsenal's result was already sealed after Lee went off.
At the end of the 90-minute game, the score was fixed at 2-0 as Real Madrid beat Arsenal by two goals away from home.
The second goal came as newcomer Angel Di Maria used his agile body and skill to make his way out of Arsenal's 10,000 squad before setting up centre-forward Karim Benzema to score.
Di Maria's excellent performance is naturally to let Bale sit on felt, but Bale also knows that Real Madrid's more than 80 million pounds are not for waste, so as long as his condition remains stable, he will not have a chance.
In fact, since the start of the winter transfer window, the rumors about Di Maria's transfer have not stopped
Arsene Wenger also made a quick push in the end, replacing Flamini in defensive midfield and bringing Podolski on.
This is a helpless choice, because if Arsenal can't create some advantages at home, it will be even more dangerous to go away, so he must strengthen his attack.
It's just that without the terrifying Li Zihan, Arsenal's offense has dropped directly by at least two notches.
The final result was also evident, Real Madrid scored another goal and the score became 2-0.
In the post-match press conference, Arsene Wenger's face was very ugly. I don't know if it's because the team lost at home, or because of Li Zihan's injury, or both.
'I don't have much to say about this game, the facts are in front of me and there's no shame in losing to Real Madrid. But we didn't have a chance at all, there was a second leg, and as long as we showed our form, I think Arsenal still have a chance to qualify for the final. ”
When the reporters heard this, they wanted to question Wenger on the spot, you have lost at home, so why are you going to fight away from home?
But suddenly remembering that Arsenal this season is completely an away dragon, the reporters are empty-hearted.
From the Etihad, Anfield, Stamford Bridge to the Theatre of Dreams, Old Trafford, and finally to the Allianz Stadium, the Bundesliga hegemon, whether in the league or the Champions League, Arsenal is like a hang-up away from home, which makes many giants complain
"Lee's injuries? The specific diagnosis report has not yet come out, I don't know very well, and I will go to the hospital after the press conference. Round 2? I don't know if he'll be able to catch up in time, but at least Lee won't be able to play in this weekend's league game, but we don't just have Lee at Arsenal, we have a lot of other good players, so I'm not worried about that. Lee's priority is to recuperate, we will give him plenty of time to recover, and Arsenal will always put the health and health of the players first, so I will not let Lee play with an injury. ”
The reporters rolled their eyes, if it weren't for Li Zihan's magical performance this season, Arsenal would have achieved such results? If memory serves, this is the first time Arsenal have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League since that time, right?
And most of Li Zihan's 31 league goals and 12 Champions League goals are very crucial, in other words, Li Zihan's goals have brought points to Arsenal most of the time.
"Khedira's foul? The facts are obvious, and I don't want to say anything more. Everyone is not blind, if you have any doubts, go to watch the video of the game, I will not express my opinion on this issue. "Joke, Wenger is not a fool. Arsenal is leaking at this time and it rains overnight, so he won't be stupid enough to offend UEFA or anyone else.
If you follow the reporter's words, then if the UEFA bigwigs are angry, the fines are trivial, and if you come to a ban, won't you be dead?
'I'm very happy with my team's victory, Arsenal are a strong team and I'm very happy to have two away goals from the Emirates Stadium, of course it's all the hard work of the lads and I'm happy for their great performance.' Ancelotti said.
"Khedira's foul? It was just a tactical foul, a tactic that everybody on all teams would use, but unfortunately Lee was injured on the other side, Lee is a very good and promising player, I hope he recovers soon and is in the starting line for the next leg. Khedira? He's also been punished, and the red card is already very strict for him, so I think he'll be able to take it away when he uses tactical fouls in the future," Carlo Ancelotti avoided and took the same attitude as Arsene Wenger.
It's just that he didn't know that his remarks in support of Li Zihan made Khedira very unhappy, and it felt like he was complaining that Khedira had done something wrong, but in fact, Khedira was just more dealt with as he was told.
And Ancelotti really didn't mean to blame Khedira, because Real Madrid President Florentino is very optimistic about Li Zihan and hopes to have the opportunity to bring him to the Bernabeu, so he, as a coach, naturally wants to express some friendly messages, in fact, he also very much hopes to bring in Li Zihan.
Cristiano Ronaldo is now 29 years old, and he may only have been playing at a high level and at a high level for about three years. So if Real Madrid is looking for a successor to Cristiano Ronaldo, Li Zihan is one of the very good candidates. At that time, Li Zihan was twenty-two or three years old, and he was becoming more and more mature at Arsenal.
Of course, Chelsea's Eden Hazard is also one of the candidates, along with Gareth Bale, a winger who is now in the Real Madrid camp. It's just that based on Ancelotti's contacts and observations this season, he thinks Bale is not very suitable to succeed Cristiano Ronaldo, he is only suitable to do his own job and position. Because he doesn't have the kind of domineering that he can't do himself, and he doesn't stand up when the team is in trouble, and his ability to save the building is even less unique than his unique leadership temperament
Of the above three points, Arsenal's Li Zihan is the best choice
It's just that Ancelotti didn't expect that his praise would estranged Khedira from himself and the team
The screen switches to the studio lobby.
"What you see above is the report sent back by this reporter from the scene of the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal lost to Real Madrid by two goals at home, which is worrying for Arsenal's future, especially the injury of striker Lee has cast a shadow on Arsenal's dream of the final," said the BBC's beautiful hostess.
In the outside world, everyone is in a state of decline for Arsenal's prospects, and no one is optimistic that Arsenal can "turn over". Because they lost two goals at home in the first leg, giving the opposition a very valuable two away goal advantage.
Next up is their opponent Real Madrid!! The new coach Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid is very strong, especially on the offensive line, which is much stronger than Mourinho's Real Madrid.
So everyone believes that if they return to the Bernabeu and win 2-0 or 3-0 with the attacking power of this Real Madrid, they can already win without conceding a goal
If Li Zihan can play, it may be worth looking forward to, because Li Zihan's away performance this season is like a hanging.
So everyone is still very much looking forward to another miracle from Miracle Boy, but this time
Even if Li Zihan can catch up with the second round of the match, it is still difficult to say whether he can maintain his condition due to the impact of injury at that time, let alone perform a miracle
The whole Arsenal team did not stand up to clarify the doubts of the outside world, and when the reporter went to interview the player himself, everyone unanimously said that the most important thing for Arsenal now is the next league, and then the second leg of the Champions League.
Such an official answer reporters rolled their eyes, the whole world knows that if there is no accident, this season's league championship is Liverpool or Manchester City, Arsenal is theoretically possible, but this possibility is about the same as the probability of them winning the Champions League, as for Chelsea, they have completed this season's task ahead of schedule - to guarantee the Champions League seat!
Therefore, for the answer of the Arsenal players, the reporters unanimously agreed that the club had greeted the players in advance, and when the time came, they would answer in unison
This is indeed the case, Arsenal have given the players a vaccination and "anti-journalist" drill in advance.
This year, fire prevention, anti-theft and anti-journalists
In an instant, Arsenal or Li Zihan's injury became the focus of media attention all over the world, what happened to Li Zihan's injury, and whether he could come back in time to catch up with the second leg of the game These are all mysteries!
Li Zihan was admitted to the best Royal Sports Injury Hospital in London, and it was also a luxurious VIP ward - all to avoid the harassment of reporters.
For the sake of first-hand information, the reporters were completely like agents and spies, and the Arsenal club had to let him live in a VIP intensive care ward without outside interference to recuperate with peace of mind.
No way, who called Han Niang is the focus of all the media now.
