Chapter 211: The Yellow and Black Wall (Part II)

"Well, now the game has officially begun, there is not much change in the starting list on the Arsenal side, Wenger is the main force! We came to the midfielders Flamini and Arteta are sitting on the bench, the starting partners are Wilshere and Ramsey, the two youngsters, and then look at Gibbs on the backline, Walcott on the wing, and Li Zihan on the forward line, Wenger is planning to use young people to impact Dortmund, it is worth mentioning that there are a lot of speed players in it. Looking at this, Wenger is not conservative in the away game, and many media thought that Arsenal would play a defensive counterattack before the game, but looking at this lineup is completely the rhythm of attacking to the end. And Flamini, Cazorla, veteran Rosicky and high school striker Giroud on the bench are also poised to allow Arsene Wenger to make arrangements for different situations. Uncle Zhan Jun said.

"On the side of Dortmund, because of the previous league against the strong team Stuttgart and the bitter rival Schalke 04, the Hornets are also relatively large, although they have scored nine goals in two games and only conceded two. But they also paid a lot of price, the defender central defender Subotic old injury, the core of the midfield Gundogan meniscus fracture, the loss of two goals in a row is also a lot of pressure for Dortmund, and the injury of the midfield substitute Kyle and central midfielder Kuba has also greatly reduced the thickness of their bench," Huang Jianxiang said.

"Now the game between the two sides is officially started, Arsenal kicks off first, wait, what's that?"

The camera lens swept to Westfa. The south stand of the Len Arena, where Dortmund's true fans gather, and behind the goal, where there are no seats, is the 12th place for Dortmund.

A giant canvas is slowly pulled up by the fans, and the fans relay the canvas to the top of the stands little by little at the bottom of the canvas, until the entire canvas covers the entire complete stand

The image of a big-eared cup is printed in the middle of the canvas, and then a cartoon-shaped child looks at the fierce bumblebee flying in the air by the river, and his legs are a little weak. There was a note floating above the river that read one and a half million pounds

"Oh, interesting. The huge cartoon of Dortmund fans was aimed at Li Zihan, who was known to have bought a lottery ticket worth £1.5 million before the game, which showed Arsenal taking away a win away from home. But Dortmund fans hit back in such a humorous way, the cartoon illustration should be to the effect that this child is walking by the river with a huge amount of money, and then a vicious bumblebee flies in and wants to sting, and the child is frightened and throws a huge sum of 1.5 million pounds into the river, which can be summed up - 'Li Zihan, your 1.5 million pounds are doomed to be lost.' ’”

"It seems that the Dortmund fans are very confident, and it is not the first time that the entire stand has been covered by posters like this in Dortmund at the Westphalian Stadium. Not so long ago last season, when Dortmund faced La Liga team Malaga at home in the Champions League knockout round, Dortmund fans pulled out pictorials of such a size. It's just that the picture at that time was a bumblebee holding a pair of glasses looking at the Big Ear Cup, which means that we were staring at the trophy. And now, the giant poster has reappeared, but only three days have passed since Li Zihan bought the lottery ticket, and this time Dortmund fans have raised enough funds for the poster so quickly"

Of course, Li Zihan also noticed such a big movement, and when he saw a huge canvas, Li Zihan knew what the other party meant, and instantly Han Niang became angry.

After Mesut Ozil split the ball, Walcourt received the ball on the touchline and tried to cut inside, but Piszczek and Hoffmann combined to guard his way inside.

Little Tiger had no choice but to pass the ball and a half-high ball to the middle.

Li Zihan, who had his back to the attack, had a hard time with the ball because he now had Sven Bender and Papastathopoulos behind him.

Li Zihan stuck his elbow with Sven Bender, fortunately, this German native back is not a muscular man, otherwise Li Zihan may not be able to get stuck with the other party.

The chest unloaded the ball, and then the smooth extension of the foot sent the ball to Ozil in the forward midfield position. Then he immediately managed to turn around and put some distance between himself and Sven Bender.

At this time, Ozil's return pass arrived, and after Li Zihan received the ball, he strode forward and wanted to take it forward.

Podolski, on the left, immediately cut in from the sideline and raised his hand to ask, Schmelzer did not dare to be careless, and firmly followed the opponent to cut in. Even if you don't want to give up the wing, at this time Gibbs decisively went up on the side and made up for a winger's position.

Hummels, who was a little behind, thought that Li Zihan would also hand the ball to Podolsky after taking two steps, so he instinctively leaned his position slightly against Podolski's side, and saw the right time, if Li Zihan passed a bocce ball, he immediately rushed up to slide and shoveled the ball down the middle before Podolski.

However, Li Zihan's actions surprised everyone!!

I saw Li Zihan in the middle, seven or eight yards away from the penalty line, and glanced at Podolski's position. Then step on the ball with your right foot, stop it, and pull your left foot away in an arc.

Hummels thought that Li Zihan was about to pass the ball, and immediately thought that the ball was close to the pass that Podolski had only seen. Papastathopoulos saw Li Zihan stop, thought there was an opportunity, and immediately came over to destroy the ball.

And Li Zihan did immediately straighten his right leg at this time

Weidenfeller in front of the goal frowned and carefully observed the ball at Li Zihan's feet. According to his experience, Li Zihan's swing is not like a pass, but like a charge before a long-range shot. It's just that this long-range shot is too obvious in winter, considering that Li Zihan often makes feints, Weidenfeller does not rule out that this is a fake shot and a true pass, fooling his own judgment.

Papastathopoulos' foot that wanted to destroy the ball had just stretched out, and Li Zihan had indeed kicked the ball out. Without hiding his purpose, the ball hesitated and flew towards the goal like a heavy cannonball, and the ball flew out of the ball for a second, and the feet of the Greek central defender arrived.

"Li Zihan, do you want to pass it on? Direct Shot!! WOW~~”

Weidenfeller saw Li Zihan pick out the ball and judged that the ball was hit in the middle, high. Immediately jumped, straightened his hands, felt the speed and strength of the ball, felt that he couldn't keep it, rather than get out of his hand and cause an accident, it was better to send a corner kick to the opponent.

So he straightened his right hand and took the ball out of the bottom line with one palm. The ball left Weidenfeller's right hand and flew up to the stands.

The South Stand behind him, the die-hard stand where the giant canvas appeared, had just been put away, and the fans saw this scene and couldn't help but exclaim

"High quality long shot!! Weidenfeller lifted the ball off the line with one palm and Arsenal were awarded a corner. Let's take a look at the slow motion of the ball, because the ball is so fast. Li Zihan hit the ball out and went straight to the goal, full of strength, the ball did not rotate in the process of flying in the air. Weidenfeller was quite focused, and he lifted the ball out with one palm."

"What a surprise Li Zihan!! I've never heard of him having a high-quality long-range shot, and I've hardly seen him shoot from distance in previous games, except for free-kicks, of course. Often, when he didn't have the chance, he would hand the ball to his teammates, wait for his teammates to support him, and never saw him shoot directly from distance. The ball is about 30 meters away from the goal, right? It is estimated that there are still 26 meters. In the past, when I was at Juventus, the long-range shooting tasks were given to Pogba and Marchisio, and even Vidal. And now Arsenal, long-range shots are generally Ramsey in the midfield, Flamini, Arteta and others. ”

"This should be Lee's riposte to the Dortmund fans, right?"

"Li Zihan said, let you sarcastically mock me, don't give you some color to see, you don't know why Arsenal's jersey is so red" Uncle Zhan Jun jokingly dubbed Li Zihan.

In fact, it was really said by the commentators, and most of the reason why Li Zihan chose to shoot from a distance was to give a riposte to the sarcasm of Dortmund fans.

Li Zihan glanced leisurely at the stands behind Weidenfeller, without making gestures, or even lip proverbial. Directly fluttering around, leaving a chic back.

It was only after he turned around and walked two or three steps towards the midfield that he remembered that the ball was made out of the bottom line by Weidenfeller, which should be a corner kick from his side.

Li Zihan blushed, and embarrassedly turned around and came to the periphery of the forbidden area to respond.

"Ha Lu Ha Li Zihan what does it mean?" Huang Jianxiang also said with a smile.

"Damn, this kid learned such a violent long-range shot in time? High quality and large force, can he kick it out of his small body? Klopp cursed in his heart.

Klopp immediately attributed this situation to an accident, believing that Li Zihan was just an accidental character outbreak.

In fact, Li Zihan actually has a long-range shot that can't be shot, although it is not as "violent and pleasing to the eye" as Pogba, but it is still good in terms of quality and accuracy. During his time at Juventus, he learned the free-kick of the master "sleeping skin" Pirlo, and how could he not steal from Pogba's long-range shot

And Li Zihan himself has a good sense of smell for the goal, and he can find the position of the goal with almost every shot he takes, just like the saying "Every good shooter has a goal in his heart!" And every time Li Zihan shoots, he goes according to the position of the goal in his heart.

So combined with Li Zihan's characteristics, when he was at Arsenal, Wenger also privately asked him to contact long-range shots. It's just that this training content is not written into Li Zihan's training plan, but asks him to contact him when he practices in private, and usually asks the coach if he has any questions.

Imagine that since Wenger wants to shape Li Zihan's second position into an in-cutting winger or an inside-forward, of course, he will hand over Li Zihan's long-range shooting ability, which is one of the biggest characteristics of the role of an insider.

What Li Zihan didn't know was that Wenger was still thinking about how to strengthen Li Zihan's heading ability, Li Zihan's height of one meter and early eight was considered passing, but his bounce ability was very strong and he jumped very high. But the quality of the header is not as good as counting on him to shoot from distance.
