Chapter 541: FA Cup Final!

It's always surprisingly fast to come to May, and before you know it, it's the end of a season, especially since there is a world-class tournament this year - the FIFA World Cup!

So by the end of the league, some stars who have nothing to do with winning championships and relegations have long been out of the club's mind, and they are thinking about being on the squads of each national team in about half a month.

For some core stars, if there is no accident, they will not be selected for the national team, and as for some marginal internationals, it depends on their performance in the team this season and luck.

The World Cup has nothing to do with Li Zihan, and the remaining two finals are more important than the World Cup in his eyes, especially the last one.

"May is a harvest season, and when we get to this point as a team, it's undoubtedly a problem in our brains to say anything nonsense like not wanting a championship, so we're going to go for this championship. Giving up the FA Cup for the Champions League final in a few days? It's impossible, the word give up never appears in Arsenal's dictionary, so we're going to give it our all, it's respect for the opponents, it's respect for the fans who support us, and it's all the teams that are involved in this trophy, we have a strong squad and the quality to fight for two titles. I'm not playing? It's all up to the coaching staff," Lee and Arsene Wenger said to reporters at their pre-FA Cup final press conference.

Because Li Zihan is the most popular star recently, this season's state has overtaken Messi, who is not particularly good this season, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who is in excellent form, and Suarez and Diego Costa, who are also in great shape, so Wenger can only bring Li Zihan to the pre-match press conference of this final, otherwise this group of media is not a good bully

In the analysis of the media, it is also believed that Arsenal is unlikely to give up the FA Cup, first of all, the FA Cup opponent is Hull City, a team in the middle and lower reaches, which is not a big problem for Arsenal, and even half of the rotation players, Arsenal has won four of the five meetings with Hull City recently, and they are all 2-0 wins without suspense.

Secondly, the opponent in the Champions League final is Atletico Madrid, although they played well this season and went all the way to the final, but they are not as good as the traditional giants in terms of background. Therefore, the strength comparison between Arsenal and Atletico Madrid should be five-five, and Arsenal does not need to hide all the core for the Champions League final.

Last but not least, Arsenal have not won a major tournament in nine years, so they are hungry for any title. As the saying goes, three years as a soldier is nothing

When Arsene Wenger announced Arsenal's 18-man squad at the pre-match press conference, Arsenal's many cores were among them, including Li Zihan, Mesut Ozil, Ramsey and Wilshere, and of course, the last 11-man starters were not necessarily

"Welcome to the new Wembley Stadium, where the final feast of English football takes place. This season's FA Cup final will be up against Arsenal, who are currently third in the league, and Hull City, 13th.

On 18 May, the FA Cup final kicked off as scheduled!

And when everyone saw Arsenal's starting lineup, it was also a sweat for Hull City. Wenger did rotate a lot of core in this game, including Mesut Ozil, Merdessatt, Gibbs and Sagna and other major players were absent from the starting lineup, Monreal, Jane Kinson, Vermaelen and midfielder Flamini and veteran Rosicky have all been given the opportunity to start.

However, the core of the two midfielders, Ramsey and Cazorla, still appeared in the starting lineup, and the most important thing was that Li Zihan was in the starting list

This is definitely a blow to Hull City, Ramsey and Cazorla needless to say, just one Li Zihan is enough to make Hull City uncomfortable, don't you see how Li Zihan staged a magical reversal in the previous Champions League semi-finals?

The outside world is jokingly saying that a Li Zihan overturned a galaxy battleship worth hundreds of millions of pounds

However, Real Madrid is also interesting to say, last season was beaten by Dortmund's striker Lewandowski without temper, and this season by Li Zihan, who was born out of nowhere, lost his temper

In the face of Arsenal, Hull City sent all the main players, it can be said that the strongest team has no choice, they have no choice at all

As soon as the game between the two sides began, Arsenal completely controlled the initiative. Arsenal, who had the upper hand, launched a fierce attack, as if they wanted to use absolute strength to directly crush the opponent's hopes.

But a small team like Hull City naturally has a small team style of play, all kinds of swinging buses and defensive counter-attacks. In the second half, he contracted his defense and let Arsenal attack, leaving only the fast Croatian striker Jelavic up front.

As for the problem of the opponent's core defense, Hull City's head coach Bruce Sr. also has a set, he directly wasted the organizational ability of his midfield playmaker Herderstone, and turned to closely mark Arsenal's core Li Zihan.

In a team like Arsenal, which is several times stronger than itself, it is not feasible to organize the ball or anything, and Arsenal is a master of organizing and passing attacks, so they naturally dare not play big knives in front of the grandmaster, because they have no chance, and the most suitable situation in this situation is actually defensive counterattacks and long passes, as well as the use of set-pieces.

And Herdstone is 1.91 meters tall and weighs as much as 95 kilograms, and he is definitely a midfielder with a very obvious physical advantage.

Bruce's tactics are very clear, that is, he wants to completely freeze Arsenal's attacking core with a muscle forest. Although the routine is old-fashioned, it has to be said that it still has a very obvious effect, at least ten minutes into the game, Arsenal's attack has not threatened the Scottish goalkeeper McGregor so far.

"Lee seems to have been lost in Herdstone's muscle strangulation, many teams have used this trick on Lee before, but the effect is not particularly obvious, did it make Hull City succeed this time?"

Does it actually work?

When the time came to fifteen minutes, Li Zihan gradually got to know the Hull City player who was close to him, so it was time for Li Zihan's personal performance.

Li Zihan frequently uses emergency stops, starts, changes of direction and feints to shake off the defense. Although Herdstone can often use his physical advantage to squeeze Li Zihan away, according to the Premier League referee's penalty scale, such physical contact will not foul, and Li Zihan can only suffer a dark loss. But Li Zihan initially understood the weakness of this big man, that is, slow speed and inflexible body coordination, of course, this is also the weakness of most big players.

From fifteen minutes to twenty-five minutes, Li Zihan used ten minutes to break through Herdstone, a total of seven times in a row using the change of direction and speed, including a more threatening shot and three passes, but the teenager Oxlade-Chamberlain himself did not take advantage of the opportunity, Rosicky's shot hit the post and flew out, otherwise Arsenal would have taken a lead of at least 2-0.

"Although Arsenal haven't scored yet, the current state of the Gunners is not far from scoring, and Hull City should make a change."

"Well, I reiterate once again, we shouldn't question Li Zihan, every time we question him, we will be pulled back by his 'slap'"

"The season is over, Li Zihan's season schedule is enough to explain a qiē, if there are still doubters, I think the end will be the same as Mr. Richard Sanchez"

Because Li Zihan has turned the tide in the Arsenal team this season and scored about the same number of times, such a crazy table naturally makes the famous "Li Hei" Richard Sanchez have no good life.

The fans are not fools, and if they can't see Li Zihan's ability now, then they are only suitable for watching rugby, not football.

So some of the things that Sanchez wrote gradually disappeared from reading, and at first it was relatively fresh, but after reading too much, everyone would get bored.

And Li Zihan also took a pragmatic attitude towards him, no matter what the other party said about him, he ignored it, so that gradually no one remembered Sanchez.

Looking at the newspapers and the media, Sanchez's column simply did not sell, and even affected the reputation of the entire newspaper "The Sun", although it is a bit funny to say so, the reputation of the Sun

But anyway, no one reads what Sanchez writes, and the Sun is not a charity, so it can fire Richard Sanchez.

The disgraced Sanchez heard that he had finally returned to his native Italy to write for a small local media outlet about a mid-table team in the Italian second division

What happened to Sanchez naturally caused a small sensation, after all, his fame is not small, although most of his fame is obtained through Guò Black Plum Han, but he is also a celebrity. The end was so bleak.

At this point, when a media person wants to publish an article questioning Hehe's Black Arsenal and Li Zihan, someone will always say to him: "Hey, look at Sanchez"
