Chapter 346: Substitutions and Winning Back a City

"Then according to the rules of football, if the goalkeeper is injured, the game must be suspended, and the game can only be resumed until the goalkeeper's injury is dealt with, or it is confirmed that the game can be continued."

Szczesny was fine, and the referee blew his whistle when he got up from the ground, and then pointed to the center of the arc.

"Half-time kick-off!! The goal works!! Referee Dodd thinks City's previous goal is valid and now Arsenal are ready to kick off! ”

"Five to one!! It's a crazy race, what do I say!! This game must be a big score of Mars hitting the earth, and now the time is only in the fiftieth minute of the game, and there is still half an hour to go, and the score should continue to be rewritten!! ”

'The decision was debatable, as David Silva did lift his foot a little too high in the six-yard box when he shot and his spikes hit Szczesny. It stands to reason that the goalkeeper should be absolutely protected in this area of the small penalty area, and the ball can be blown away, or even a yellow card is not too much, of course, considering that Manchester City's home yellow card can also be saved. ”

"Actually ruled the goal valid? Dodd, this goal is three or seven goals instead of five or five goals, although the opponent did not mean it, but the degree of foul play still reached 70 percent! Anyway, Manchester City is already 4-1 ahead, so why do you want to be such a villain? ”

Wenger rushed to the front of the fourth official and said angrily to the fourth official: "This ball actually works? When did goalkeepers start to be unprotected in the small penalty area? You don't see the blood on my player's chest? You didn't see the height of the other person's foot? ”

Although Wenger did not say some nasty sarcasm or outright scolding like Mourinho, the dissatisfaction in his tone was clearly heard.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wenger. That's the truth, we respect what happened on the pitch, David Silva didn't have much of a problem lifting his foot, but he lifted his foot first, it was Szczesny himself who hit his foot, and the opponent also had a protective move with his hands and feet bent. The fourth official patiently explained.

"Is this also called a fact? The fact is that the opponent fouled and rushed the goalkeeper, which should be an invalid goal. ”

"I'm really sorry sir, if there's any problem, you can appeal to the FA after the game."

"Post-match appeal? Hell, it's all over Christmas, what's the use? Wenger turned around and shook his hand in dissatisfaction.

Manuel Pellegrini gave a round of applause and then a thumbs up to the referee.

This is definitely not a sarcastic gesture, but a very "fair" feeling for the referee's decision.

City supporters are now crowding in the stands, entertaining themselves to celebrate a game win in advance, even with half an hour to go.

Taking advantage of the kick-off, Arsenal began to make substitutions.

"Arsenal began to make substitutions, Li Zihan played! See who he replaces, Podolski on the wing, Cazorla or Giroud on the opposite side? Although Li Zihan's ability is undoubted, but according to the current score, you can only reverse the current terrifying Manchester City unless you replace Ronaldo and Messi at the same time! ”

The commentator's guest partner said: "When it's impossible, it's not possible unless it's replaced by God!" ”

The fourth official held up an electronic LED display board for substitutions on the sidelines, with the green number 12 and the red number 21.

Arsene Wenger replaced Flamini in midfield with Li Zihan, which was a signal to let go of the attack. Ditch a midfielder who can attack and defend and replace it with a striker who is quite efficient in scoring goals, and play a double striker at the same time. It's a free-handed substitution, but with so many Arsenal players up front, will it seem a little crowded? Olivier Giroud, Lee Zihan, Podolski, Cazorla, Mesut Ozil and Ramsey at any time"

"Let's see if Arsene Wenger's temporary two-striker formation can work wonders, but against such a Manchester City, with such a weak interception in midfield, will there be problems?"

Li Zihan came on the pitch and gave Wenger's latest instructions to his teammates on the pitch.

"Wait, Manchester City have started to make substitutions, look at it, Nasri came on and replaced Keylor Navas, who did well in the first half. This is probably to kill time with possession, as Nasri is known to be quite fond of "possession" and "dribbling". ”

"French midfielder Nasri, one of the four little swans, came on the pitch and once again faced his old club to see if Nasri could play an even worse role?"

"If I say if, although this if it's hard, it's almost impossible to make it happen. If Arsenal finally achieves a big reversal, and Nasri becomes the key, I think everyone on the Internet will ridicule Arsenal as Nasri's true love, come to Manchester City undercover," Uncle Zhan Jun said for fear that the world would not be chaotic.

After Arsenal's substitutions, they played quite aggressively as soon as they kicked off. It seems that Li Zihan's appearance gave Arsenal a lot of confidence, although under the score of 5 to 1, the so-called confidence only did not collapse in advance.

Li Zihan's active running position made the back Fernandinho very uncomfortable, because he was already carrying a yellow card, and the Brazilian midfielder's actions did not dare to be too presumptuous, after all, the referee was a little biased towards Manchester City at home on David Silva's goal, so God knows whether Dowddo will find a balance because he gave a second yellow card for a slight foul.

Mesut Ozil had the ball, Lee Zihan was in the middle and Giroud was in position. High striker Olivier Giroud stood up to the opposition's central defence, so that Kompany did not dare to rush up and defend in advance.

Li Zihan suddenly changed direction at this time, and Li Zihan quickly pulled to the position close to the side without the ball, and Fernandinho was a little late to react and was two steps behind.

Ozil keenly saw the opportunity, and suddenly a ball was passed to Li Zihan's position. Li Zihan unloaded the ball with his chest, and then knocked the ball to Podolski on the sideline without pausing, and Fernandinho had just come up at this time.

Li Zihan accelerated again to get rid of Fernandinho without the ball, and then cut inside into the ribs of the penalty area.

Portols basically wanted to take the ball and cut in, but seeing Li Zihan occupy his running line, he dispelled the idea of cutting inside, went straight to the bottom, and ate Zabaleta raw with excellent dribbling and speed.

Coming to the bottom line, Podolski first looked up at the situation in the penalty area, and then swung his leg to cross the ball.

Zabaleta was just two steps behind Podolski and it was only when Porti had passed the ball out of the way that Zabaleta arrived. The symbolic lifting of the foot naturally failed to intercept the ball.

Giroud in the middle watched the ball fly before swerving Demichelis. Poor Demichelis, how many times has he been pressed by Giroud?

Demichaelis wondered why this center often takes the initiative to come to him for physical contact and some small movements. But at this time, I didn't think about it so much, and interfering with the opponent's header first was the first priority at hand.

A covert squeeze on the arm failed to push Giroud away, and the French striker was the first to get the ball.

Joe Hart thinks he knows a lot about Giroud, the striker's desire to score is quite strong, although his ability and desire are not proportional, but such a big and tall header is still very threatening.

So when Giroud headed the ball, Joe Hart looked at the ball and made a pre-determined save first.

Just stretched out his hand to jump, but found that the plot was not played out as he imagined. The ball wasn't coming towards the top right corner of the goal, it was a pass.

Joe Hart immediately reined in his feet, but he staggered forward by inertia due to his lack of preparation.

At this time, Li Zihan, who was supposed to be in the ribs of the penalty area, suddenly started, and when Kompany's attention was still in the small penalty area and Giroud and goalkeeper Joe Hart, he suddenly burst into the side of the Belgian central defender, and when Kompany came to his senses, Li Zihan had used his excellent speed and physical flexibility to rush to the ribs of the small penalty area.

Facing Giroud's header, Li Zihan did not stop the ball, nor did he wait for the ball to fall completely, but swung his right leg and pumped directly towards the ball that had reached the slightly lower position of his waist!

Just like in a baseball, the swinging bat hits the flying baseball, and then the baseball flies out of bounds at more than three times the speed of the previous one, trying to hit a home run!

It's just that this ball obviously can't fly out of bounds directly, and there is no home run in football, only a handjob

The ball was so fast that even Joe Hart couldn't even react. By the time England's best goalkeeper, Joe Hart, reached out, the ball was out of the area where his hands could control.

The ball smashed headlong into the inside side netting on the other side of the goal with a quick, spinning and unstoppable momentum, bringing the side net high and landing at the end.

Silence silence!

It took a second for the commentators and fans to react.

“GOOOOOOAL！！！！ Ball - Score!! From Li Zihan, a beautiful half-volley, Joe Hart couldn't do anything, and finally pulled a goal back for Arsenal, and now the score has gone to five to two, Arsenal has narrowed the score to three goals again" Uncle Zhan Jun was stunned for a moment after the passion, and said to himself: "It seems that something is not right?" ”

It seems that three goals behind is still a rather huge gap, Arsenal has no reason to be happy, five to one and five to two, in the end there is no big difference, unless it is five to four, so that even if Arsenal loses the game, the field and morale are not lower than Manchester City.

In the words of Chinese football, it is: playing your own style and playing your own spirit
