'Just before the end of the first half, Arsenal were awarded a penalty. However, Arteta's penalty was saved by Manuel Neuer, although Arteta had a chance to make up for it afterwards. But he kicked the ball into the stands with the second kick and gave it to the Arsenal fans who came to cheer for the team away, and I think the Arsenal fans who got the ball must not be happy! ”
'Arsenal's vice-captain has not been a key man for Arsenal at this critical time. While it is unlikely that Arsenal will be able to progress past Bayern Munich, it is possible that he will be eliminated with dignity, such as a draw or a narrow win from the Allianz Arena. But Arteta, who has lost that last of his dignity – it's a sad story. ”
"Okay, the first half is over!! We're going to have a fifteen-minute break and we'll see if Arsene Wenger can make some changes to Arsenal in 15 minutes. ”
The moment the ball flew into the stands, Rizzoli was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, blowing the whistle at the end of the half, and he didn't wait for Neuer to take the goal kick.
Arteta hung his head and slowly walked from the pitch to the players' tunnel. The camera followed Arteta all the time, and did not cut the head coach of the two teams. Generally, this is the treatment of the best players in the first half, although Arteta was not considered the best in the first half, but the final penalty did not score is one of the protagonists of the half, and even more attention than Ribery, who scored the goal.
The team-mates walked with Mikel Arteta to secure their vice-captain. Although Arteta is experienced and 31 years old, he is very mature. But when I encounter such a thing, I am still very depressed and blame myself. It's not about age, age or life experience, it's just about the great sport of football.
More than 3,000 fans who came to the away stadium watched the backs of the players from both sides walking into the players' tunnel, although the game was not over, but they were already prepared for the result. Although there were preparations after the last time they were beaten 0-2 by the opponent at home, when the time really came to this moment, the Gunners' supporters were still very disappointed.
The League Cup, the FA Cup, even the league title, they don't care. Even after nine years without a title, they have not been so disappointed, what they have always cared about is this Champions League champion.
No team's desire to win the Champions League is as strong as Arsenal supporters, even Real Madrid, who are desperate to win the 10th Champions League title in their history every season.
Because as one of the top giants in Europe, Arsenal is the only one who has not won the Champions League. Coupled with the embarrassment of nine years without a title, Arsenal has now been reduced to the ranks of pseudo-giants.
Milan, Juventus, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, Manchester United, Liverpool, who hasn't won the top club title on the Europa continent? Real Madrid even won it nine times like crazy! And in 2012, even their city rivals, Chelsea, who were only a mid-table team in the Premier League a few years ago, tasted the sweetness of the Champions League.
Before the Champions League was restructured, Ajax, Benfica, Porto and even Marseille, Red Star Belgrade, PSV Eindhoven, Aston Villa and Romania's Steaua Bucharest all won the top competition, while Nottingham Forest, who are still in the Championship, won the Champions League twice.
Only Arsenal Oh, by the way, and Manchester City haven't got it either. But how long has Manchester City been on the rise? That is, in the past few years, when the oil tycoons have been crazy about writing checks, Manchester City has only looked like a giant in terms of lineup and league competitiveness.
"Are we going to lose?" Alain Martin Lee, who came to watch Arsenal's crucial game away, wiped the mist from the corner of his eyes and asked his father beside him.
The mist was his tears, Alain's cousin was still strong, and his sister, Victoria, who was only six years old, was already crying. Although the six-year-old still can't understand and understand the weight and place of the Champions League in Arsenal's hearts, she can feel the sadness in the hearts of the Arsenal fans around her who have come to the away road with her.
There is nothing sadder than this, just when the team saw a glimmer of hope, his captain pinched it out.
The fans didn't scold and boo Arteta because it was their captain. Arsenal fans never point their ambitions at their own people, not to mention that Arteta is still the captain of the team.
At the moment of the missed penalty, although the visitors were full of mourning in the stands, they soon stood up and applauded, showing their support and encouragement to their captains and their team.
Alain's father, Lao Li. is a middle-aged man with a relatively fat body, although he is an authentic Englishman, but his figure has nothing to do with handsome English guys.
Lao Li did not directly answer his child's question, but continued to hold up the Arsenal scarf in his hand: "The game is not over yet, even if it is over, we still have next season, next season until we can win this championship." ”
No end?
Alain turned his head and found the figure among the many players who were walking towards the tunnel of the players. Although there were nine people wearing the same jersey as him, he was able to lock on to the figure very quickly. He is only about 1.8 meters, and he is not tall on the pitch in terms of size or size, but in the crowd, Arsenal fans can easily find him.
He is the hope of Arsenal fans, and he often surprises and wonders for Arsenal. He is one of the heroes who can now make Arsenal reach the knockout stages of the Champions League, and he is also the absolute promoter of Arsenal's top position in the league.
He's Arsenal's twelve, he's Lee, he's only twenty!
Alan clenched his fists, and he was determined to join the Arsenal professional players, but now he suddenly "hated" himself very much, hating why he was only 12 years old, and he couldn't play with the stars he admired, carry the banner of Arsenal's victory together, and at the same time bear the bitter consequences of defeat together.
Alan is a big fan of Lee, not just because he scores goals all the time. And the attitude he has on the pitch and on the pitch, he's a very professional player. There are no scandals and no gossip, and I don't go to nightclubs
"Hey, can I sign it for you?"
Alain's memory goes back to a few months ago, when the guy had only been in the team for a long time, but he took the initiative to sign his autograph. This is the first Arsenal first-team player to voluntarily sign for him, before that, Alan did not know much about him, he only knew that he was a Chinese, from Juventus, only 19 years old, but spent a huge amount of 20 million euros at the club.
Yes, for Arsenal, 20 million is already a very significant transfer fund.
Soul light, you have to come on! Do you dare to perform a miracle?
"Dad, did we lose?" Among the more than 3,000 Arsenal fans who came to watch the game away, in a very inconspicuous place, a child about three or four years old, innocently asked his father.
The child's father looked at the players who walked into the tunnel and said very firmly: "No, the game is not over yet, we haven't lost yet!" ”
After watching for a few seconds, after all the Arsenal players entered the tunnel and were out of sight. He turned around and crouched down to face his child.
"Remember, David. As long as the referee doesn't blow the whistle for the end of the game, the game is never over. Our family has always been an Arsenal fan and you'll be an Arsenal fan when you grow up. So you have to stand firmly on Arsenal's side, you have to trust the team, you have to cheer them on, you have to cheer for them. When the team wins, you have to laugh with them, and when the team loses, you have to share his sadness. "Fathers convey their family's football spirit to their children.
This is the culture of English football, where fathers take their children to watch the game when they are still ignorant, and instill in him the spirit of the team, so that the descendants of his family will continue to support the team that their grandparents supported.
They don't care at all that the swear words of the fans in the stands and some bad language and actions will bring their children to them. Compared to these, the descendants of his own family no longer support the team, which is obviously more strict.
The child's expression is very strict, and although it is very cute and funny to have such an expression on the face of a three- or four-year-old child, his expression is very strict now.
He nodded, agreeing with his father's words. Then he seriously and firmly corrected his father's mistakes: "No, I am already an Arsenal fan now, a loyal and brave 'Gunners'!" ”
The father smiled, not knowing whether he was happy with the child's answer, or was amused by the child's "I'm already an adult" little adult.
The father touched the child's head encouragingly, smiling with great relief.
If Li Zihan can see the position of this stand, he will find that the father and son are the father and son who once said at the Emirates Stadium that they should be with Arsenal forever, whether they are sad or happy.
The aggregate score was 3-0, and the opponent still had two away goals, and at the same time, his side did not score a penalty, and his morale was severely affected.
In addition to the fact that the opponent is a strong defending champion, one of the most powerful teams in Europe, the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich, how to see how Arsenal has no chance of qualifying.
Maybe only these "brainless fans" of Arsenal and Li Zihan firmly believe that the game is not over yet, right?
In China, it's 3:50 a.m. Some of the pseudo-fans have turned off their televisions and are no longer interested in the remaining hour (plus the fifteen-minute break) of garbage time.
Instead of watching a game that is destined for the result, it is better to sleep in the cage, knowing that you still have to go to work and school during the day!
