Chapter 395: The skin is thick enough to a certain extent

One of Li Zihan's favorite things to do is undoubtedly "slapping". There's no denying that he loves the feeling. It would be better if the other party was not the famous "Li Hei" Richard Sanchez, because he often slapped Sanchez, Li Zihan now has no sense of accomplishment.

Amid the doubts of many "bricks calling beasts", the match between Arsenal and Fulham, one of the city's rivals, began.

Although the situation did not open up for the time being, Arsene Wenger did not make any substitutions. Unless there is an injury or a temporary change in tactics, Arsene Wenger's substitutions are usually late.

As soon as the game began, Arsenal at home were reluctant to accept a goalless result. took the lead in launching a ferocious offensive, and Li Zihan's position no longer retreated, but chose to go up. In the first half, Li Zihan's position was relatively backward, although he was a center forward position in the starting formation diagram, but in fact it was more like a nine-and-a-half or a pseudo-ten, and he was only slightly closer than the forward position of Rosicky.

After Li Zihan went up, Kasami couldn't interfere with Li Zihan unscrupulously. Because Li Zihan is between the two central defenders, it is impossible for him to lean on to form an ending where three people guard one person, otherwise the waist position will be vacant.

Although it was not as close as in the first half, the position was still leaning towards Li Zihan intentionally or unintentionally.

Just three minutes into the second half, Arsenal had three dangerous shots on target. But in the past three minutes, Li Zihan did not participate in a single attack, and basically did not even touch the ball.

Just when everyone wondered if Li Zihan had betrayed the trust of his teammates and was isolated by Arsenal's players, the shape on the pitch changed a little again.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's breakthrough on the left flank caught the attention of Fulham's players, making Arsenal's left flank, Fulham's right, look crowded.

Chamberlain knocked back, handed the ball to Gibbs, who came up on his heels, and then slotted forward himself. Gibbs didn't immediately hand over to Oxlade-Chamberlain to play a combination after getting the ball, but chose to move widely, sending the ball from the left to the right with one kick.

Cazorla didn't go very far and only suddenly started to speed up after seeing Gibbs' transfer ball. Then he tried to break through the left wing-back who was eating the opponent raw, but after stepping on two bikes, Cazorla unexpectedly chose to hand the ball to Ramsey, who pulled down the wing.

Ramsey took the ball and directly dialed the ball to Li Zihan, and did not drag the mud and water.

Li Zihan followed the rolling route of the ball and made a deceptive move to quickly break through the central defender Sendros in front of him. Then he suddenly stretched out his right foot in front of the ball rolling route, and then his right leg quickly drew a half-arc behind him towards his right and brought the ball back. Turn to the left with your back to the other. Then switch to the right foot as the supporting foot, and the left foot will turn the ball around, and finally complete the 360-degree turn. With his left foot, he continued to move the ball diagonally forward, and rushed past the opponent to receive the ball before he could fully react.

"Marseille Maneuver - !!!"

Breaking through Senderos's defense, Li Zihan quickly encountered another central defender, Hughes. Li Zihan seemed to want to continue to use the same Marseille slalom to get past his opponent, and continued to bring the ball back with the heel of his right foot, and then half-turned, with his back to his opponent.

Hughes sneered, it was really whimsical to want to use the same action twice in five seconds, over two people.

Hughes and Smart stretched out their feet to the other side where Li Zihan was about to turn to the main route, and then planned to take the opportunity to poke the ball.

However, Li Zihan sued him with his own actions, and he thought too much about himself.

Just when the fans in the stadium were shouting "one more", hoping to see Li Zihan use two Marseille maneuvers in a row to pass two people in five seconds. Li Zihan didn't turn around again, but turned his back to Hughes, and then the heel of his left foot slammed the ball quickly.

The ball slid through the crotches of Li Zihan and Hughes, and because Hughes wanted to stab the ball in the route that Li Zihan turned around, his legs were relatively open, just like a lonely and hungry young woman, who took the initiative to open her legs.

The ball slipped between his feet and came behind him.

"Behind the Ball!!"

The experienced Rosicky quickly rushed to Li Zihan's diagonal back at this time, and almost unguarded came behind Hughes and controlled the ball.

Rosicky !! Not offside!! ”

As soon as Rosicky made a trip, he went straight into the penalty area. Goalkeeper Stekelenburg wanted to come out to block the angle, but Rosicky didn't give it a chance. The ball was not very big, and Rosicky quickly caught up with the ball. Then knock on the door yourself.

Stekelenburg fell to the ground and reached out with both hands to intercept the ball, and the height of 1.94m gave the Dutch goalkeeper an advantage.

But with Rosicky's ability to take chances and his experienced resume, how could he have shot so easily?

The ball struck Stekelenberg's finger with a quick spin and bounced off the inside of the post before rolling into the goal line.

"Rosicky !!!!!"

"Most of the credit for this goal comes from Li Zihan, the young player's outstanding performance toyed with the two central defenders of the opposing side between applause!!"

"Oh, my God. Li Zihan's movements are simply too smooth, and the whole breakthrough with the ball is like the Chinese idiom, what walking clouds and flowing water mean as natural as the clouds blown by the wind and the flowing river water in the stream. It's so beautiful, especially the heel at the end, it's so imaginative!! ”

"This is Li Zihan, he can always make key assists or goals at key moments. Maybe we should call him Mr. Key, because when the team needs someone to step up, Li Zihan always appears in the position that the fans want to see him! This soon-to-be-20-year-old is fully capable of carrying the banner!! ”

The commentators forgot about the "unpleasantness" between themselves and Li Zihan in the first half, and turned their guns back from the accusations to praise Li Zihan.

In particular, a certain British presenter who works for a television station in the United States is also a "famous" Gunners fan. At halftime, he made remarks criticizing Li Zihan on his personal social networking site, thinking that Li Zihan's behavior on the pitch was sorry for the trust of the fans and the club's weekly salary of more than 80,000 yuan, and accused Wenger of not trusting young people so much, thinking that from the shape of this game, it is obvious that Giroud is more useful than Li Zihan.

But less than ten minutes later, he deleted the previous comment and instead posted a paragraph praising Li Zihan, thinking that Li Zihan was the person the gunman had been waiting for and the person he needed the most

The thickness of his skin made netizens who followed his account blush.

Rosicky and Li Zihan came to a big hug, although Li Zihan is relatively close to young players such as Wilshere, Walcott, and Chamberlain because he is a young man, but when it comes to relationships, Li Zihan has the best relationship with the veteran Rosicky in the team, and even Ozil has to be behind.

I remember that when Li Zihan first arrived at Arsenal, Wenger arranged for Rosicky to take Li Zihan to get familiar with Arsenal. Therefore, among the entire Arsenal players, the first to contact Li Zihan and take the initiative to help Li Zihan integrate into the team was Rosicky.

After Arsenal scored first, it was relatively easy for the Arsenal players.

After the game restarted to steal and get the ball, he did not continue to attack at the first time, but began to pass and receive the ball to his feet.

In this way, not only is the ball in their own hands, but also the opponent's foul tactics do not play a big role. Because each player touches the ball for less than two seconds, the opponent simply doesn't have time for fouls or physical contact and small movements. And once the ball leaves and a foul is taken, then a yellow card is indispensable.

Arsenal completely controlled the shape of the field, and until the 54th minute of the game, the "expendables" Fulham did not have any eye-catching appearance. Oh, the only thing that stood out was two yellow cards in six minutes.

In the 55th minute, Arsenal felt their time was ripe. So he suddenly launched a quick attack, and after three crossings, the ball came to Li Zihan's feet.

This was accompanied by aggressive forward runs from Oxlade-Chamberlain and Cazorla on the left and right, as well as the reception of Ramsey on his side.

After Li Zihan got the ball, he wanted to break through the defense of the opponent Kasami. This is still a rare direct head-to-head battle between Li Zihan and Kasami after the start of the second half.

But when Li Zihan shook Kasami away with a feint, he was put to the ground from behind by the other party.

Referee Barry didn't pretend to be blind at this time, and immediately came over to Kasami and pulled out a yellow card, and gave Arsenal a direct free kick in front of Arsenal in a better position.

Kasami tried to explain to the referee, but the referee ignored him and gave him a verbal warning. said that if his actions did not close the point, he would not hesitate to pull out the second yellow card.

Kasami was a little aggrieved because the referee's blowing scale in the first half and the second half was obviously different. The blow in the first half was relatively send-off, and the blow was tight in the second half. From the first half 45 minutes without taking out a yellow card to the second half only 10 minutes into the second half, it can be seen that the number of three yellow cards jù can be seen, and all three yellow cards were "contracted" by Fulham!
