Chapter 279: Warm Up Early?

After the start of the second half, Wenger did not make any immediate substitutions, but continued to use the original line-up from the first half and wait and see.

However, Norwich's Irish coach Hughton couldn't hold his breath and made two substitutions in a row after being two goals down. A defensive midfielder went down and an attacking midfielder came up. The winger Snograss, who was frequently seen before, was replaced, and the winger who came up was England's native winger and full-back Pilkington.

However, such adjustments did not have an immediate effect, but because the new attacking midfielder Hurahan often attacked forward, making his midfield a little less organized.

By the 55th minute, Arsene Wenger had made a substitution.

Mesut Ozil was the first to be replaced, replacing veteran Rosicky. Rosicky was not unhappy that he had been replaced, and he trotted down with a smile and hugged Ozil to complete the handover.

Then Arsene Wenger's second substitution was a bit of a surprise, and when Giroud saw Li Zihan next to the fourth official on the sidelines, he knew he should have been replaced. As he began to walk down the field, he was stopped by Ozil, who scolded him.

Giroud looked over and saw the number fourteen in red and then twelve in green.

No. 12 for No. 14? I'm number thirteen, who is fourteen?

Giroud for a moment forgot about his team-mate who wore the number 14 shirt.

Walcoat was stunned when he saw this number, although Wenger had also replaced the winger with Li Zihan as a striker before. But more Li Zihan went to the left side, and it has nothing to do with him, the right side. However, now Wenger actually replaced himself with Li Zihan? Who came to the right?

Oxlade-Chamberlain is not good on the right because he is not used to playing this wing, Li Zihan has never seen him play this wing, and as for Giroud, it is even more impossible.

Could it be that Mesut Ozil came to this side, and then Li Zihan tried a new position to go to the middle midfield?

Although doubts are doubts, Walcott still quickly ran off the field to complete the substitution with Li Zihan. The two hugged in a friendly hug on the sidelines, and then whispered in his ear while the professor gave him time to rest

Arsenal also made two substitutions at this time, with two goalscorers, Rosicky and Theo Walcott, both replaced. What does Wenger mean by that? It shouldn't be that I'm dissatisfied with the two, it's possible to save the strength, and there is still the Champions League to play in the middle of next week. ”

"Surprisingly, Lee Zihan replaced Theo Walcott instead of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain or Olivier Giroud. Let's see who's going to the right, huh? Li Zihan appeared on the right, can he play in this position? Anyway, I haven't seen him fight, but I've been to the left a lot. Let's wait and see. ”

"Wenger is giving Li Zihan and Ozil some time to warm up, right? A good midweek Champions League game, and at the same time, Theo Walcott and Rosicky didn't have to be so tired from playing the whole game. Oh, I still see Wilshere warming up, warming up on the sidelines in a training vest, is he going to play later? ”

Norwich didn't really know whether to laugh or cry, as Arsenal replaced Rosicky and Theo Walcott, who had scored a goal in the first half. However, it is Mesut Ozil, a new force in the playing year, and Lee, a talented goalscorer who has scored recently, and it seems that all Norwich can do now is to lose as much as possible. ”

Norwich certainly understands this, and they also know Li Zihan and Ozil. No one would think that Li Zihan and Ozil will be weaker than the veteran Rosicky and the little tiger Walcott.

So before the situation was clear, the canary decisively chose to hold the "camp" first to see the situation, anyway, there was still half an hour left.

Later, Norwich City was a bit of a bus at the door, and Li Zihan's inche was often rejected by the bus outside the penalty area. Breaking through the sideline, it was easy to pass the opposing wingback. But once the inside cut was blocked, even the wingers and forwards retreated to the front of the penalty area, the central defenders and midfielders, and only one striker was left in front.

Li Zihan is quite shameless about such tactics, but he has to admit that football is the same as the battlefield. People only focus on the result, the victors survive, and the dead have no right to complain. And defense is also the most important part of football, otherwise why do you need defenders?

Although she is very unhappy, Han Niang has no reason to blame others, after all, this is also one of the tactics.

Since Norwich is not in a hurry when the side is behind, Li Zihan is simply not so anxious to cut in. He began to consciously cooperate more with his teammates, increasing the number of times the ball was passed back and forth at his feet.

"Tut-tut, how does this game look like Arsenal is connecting with the team? Norwich is just too undisciplined, you guys are still defending after two goals. Instead of fighting each other vigorously like this, at least the scene is better. Dear, you're embarrassed to be a Premier League team, even many Championship teams play more backbone than you. "That's what most fans think.

Although complaints are complaints, Chinese fans are still very satisfied with such a result. After all, Arsenal won, and then they saw Li Zihan on the field again.

Actually, Norwich doesn't want to, but instead of the process being ugly, at least the result is dignified. You think, one is two to zero, the other is "four joys", "five sheep Kaitai", "six lakes and four seas", "seven up and eight down" until more than zero.

That looks good?

"Norwich can't really do it, even though there are no weak teams in the Premier League. But their strength is indeed not enough for Arsenal, and the weak team can only hope to use defensive counterattacks to win a game, or try to keep a good score. If you want to blast out a life-and-death fight with the opponent, then I will definitely die, and the opponent must still be alive," the commentator began to digress, because if the fans had been focused on a game like this, the fans in front of the TV might fall asleep in less than five minutes.

Li Zihan passed the ball to Ozil and tried to "drill" into the penalty area. Mesut Ozil immediately passed the ball back to him, and as soon as Li Zihan got the ball, two people came up to defend him. Li Zihan was not impatient, and immediately made the ball back and passed it to the feet of Chamberlain, who continued to do the ball and handed it to Ramsey, who inserted it later.

Li Zihan is still very smart with this ball, he knew that he had no chance the first time he got the ball, and he didn't feel too sure in the face of two defenders. And it's a very small space, which is a bit of a disadvantage for a player of his characteristics, so he will make the ball right away. First of all, you have a chance to control the ball at your own feet, and if you give the ball to the opponent, then what do you do to attack? It's also part of Arsenal's football philosophy, which advocates attacking and passing and receiving the ball. Arsene Wenger may have read the art of war, and the best way to defend is to attack. ”

After controlling the rhythm, Flamini, who was holding the ball, suddenly sent a through ball. Li Zihan, who had been prepared for a long time, started directly and hit the midfielder who was guarding him by the opponent. Seeing that the opponent's central defender grabbed Li Zihan and forced him to slow down, another central defender immediately followed up and kicked the ball out of the bottom line.

Li Zihan was pulled to the ground in the confrontation with the opponent's central defender, and he made a gesture to the referee for the first time, signaling the opponent to pull someone for a foul.

Mesut Ozil immediately rushed up to the referee and pointed to the goal from 12 yards, and the meaning was obvious: it was a penalty!

The Arsenal fans began to cheer and shout: "Penalty! Penalty kick!! Along with the undulating sounds, their fingers also pointed to the penalty spot in the opponent's penalty area.

'The Arsenal players thought it was a penalty and the opposing centre-backs pulled it in the middle of the defence. This ball is a bit difficult to grasp, but it is a pull to pull people, but I don't see clearly whether the fall to the ground is a penalty. It seems that Li Zihan should have stepped into the penalty area line with one foot, right? Let's take a look at how the referee decides the penalty. ”

The referee did not hesitate to point to the corner.

"Oh, the referee gave a corner!! It's a corner, it's not a penalty, it's not even a free kick! Does he mean that there is no foul on the other side? Let's take a look at the slow motion, oh Li Zihan's feet stepped into the penalty area, and the opposing defensive central defender pulled him, which was an obvious foul, and the referee made a wrong decision. ”

The Arsenal players quit and they went to the referee to theorize. Ramsey, in particular, was almost about to pull the referee's clothes. Fortunately, the veteran Flamini reacted quickly and immediately grabbed him.

Wenger stood on the sidelines and yelled at the field, obviously not to the referee, but to tell his disciples not to go too far to the referee's theory, and to express his dissatisfaction a little. Then he walked up to the fourth official and began the appeal

Thinking about the fact that they were two goals ahead anyway, the Arsenal players were a little more angry and reluctantly accepted the decision.

Mesut Ozil trotted over to take the corner.

Mederssat ran up from the backfield to prepare for the top fight,

Mesut Ozil's corner flew straight into the centre of the six-yard box, where he was looking for Merdessaert and Olivier Giroud. When the ball was pushed by the opponent's central defender, he did not clear the bottom line at the first time, but gave it to the winger who responded on the side, intending to play a counterattack.

Norwich's winger received the ball and was immediately harassed by Gibbs, who pressed up, and in a hurry, he immediately passed the ball to find his center forward.

But his pass was a little less powerful and was brought down by Flamini in midfield. The ball fell to the feet of Medsat, who had returned in time after a header from inside the box to no avail.

After receiving the ball, Medsat wanted to be Flamini in front of him, because he had his back to the attacking direction and it was inconvenient to pass to the front, so he figured out Guò Flamini to handle the ball.

But this is when the unexpected happened
