Chapter 378: The story that Li Zihan and Arsenal had to tell

Thornton was denied a one-two by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Sagna, and then took a few steps forward to receive the ball. With no obstacles on the wing, Oxlade-Chamberlain dribbled down the ball at high speed.

Magpies captain Argentine veteran central defender Coloccini came up to block and prevented Oxlade-Chamberlain from going inside to threaten the goal directly.

Both hands are placed behind the back to prevent the opponent from hitting the ball when the opponent passes the ball. Then he half-bent down and stared at Chamberlain's footsteps, trying to find the other party's flaws.

Chamberlain immediately feinted with his feet, and he was about to hit the inside line strongly, and Coloccini immediately stretched out his foot to stab the ball, and Chamberlain quickly pulled the ball back, and then went directly to the sideline.

"Chamberlain!! Let's go down and see what to do!! ”

The thirty-one-year-old Colocchini's instant burst of speed and power is the opponent of the young and fast Chamberlain, once he is passed by the youngster, it will be difficult for the veteran to catch it back.

And in this position of the penalty area, if you foul, there is no good fruit to eat. Coloccini shook his long, flowing hair and scolded Chamberlain for not having the slightest respect for the old and the young

Chamberlain played the shamelessness of bullying the old man to a particularly shameless time, and he quickly came to the bottom line without giving Colocchini a chance to chase back.

After getting off the bottom, he didn't pass the high ball to Giroud, who pressed forward in the middle, but instead made a diagonal return ball with his heel to the middle of the box.

"The inverted triangle is back!! Ozil keep up!! ”

Mesut Ozil swung his leg at the ball and the ball flew straight into the goal. Newcastle's other centre-back, England's Williamson, immediately stretched out to keep out Mesut Ozil's shot, but he couldn't get his leg right, the ball bounced under his feet and continued towards goal.

The ball was quite fast, which is why Williamson couldn't intercept it. Krull saw the ball and tried to fly to his side to catch it. But he felt like his legs were filled with lead, bulky and weak, and he couldn't lift them.

As Krull struggled with his legs, the ball was rolling into the goal.

"The ball went in!!!! From Ozil!!!! ”

"The shot of the talented German midfielder!! The ball was so fast that centre-back Williamson made a mistake in judging the ball and it rolled under his crotch. However, Dutch goalkeeper Krul was helpless in the face of Ozil's quick shot, and could only watch the ball roll into the net. ”

"Fly straight to the bottom left corner of the goal!! Oxlade-Chamberlain's dribbling on the sideline tore through the Magpies' defence, especially as he was able to trick the opposition with a feint under the watchful eye of the experienced Coloccini. The last beautiful heel inverted triangle knock back, and Ozil, who was ready in the middle, also seized the opportunity and turned the youngster's kindness into a goal!! ”

"Arsenal is a factory that produces great players, after losing Theo Walcott, Lee and Wilshere. They also have Mesut Ozil, Podolski, Cazorla, Ramsey, Giroud and even the young Oxlade-Chamberlain!! Although many of the players in it are not 100% Arsenal, it is clear from their age that Arsene Wenger has the ability to adjust young players and his tactical philosophy. In what a few years, 'Arsenal products, must be high-quality' has always been the belief of major European giants, and the key is that it is not expensive, not like European black stores. The commentator didn't know if he was talking to Arsenal or digging into Arsenal's corners, but he did tell a fact.

Arsene Wenger's ability to train young players is unquestionable, and the professor's heart is a big cake coated with honey in the hearts of young players in Europe, and few can resist such temptation. And this is also the reason why Li Zihan finally joined Arsenal, even if Arsenal has been in an embarrassing ranking over the years, and in the Premier League rankings in the last ten years, it has been fourth seven times

You must know that at that time, although Li Zihan only played for Juventus for one season and only appeared in major teams for one season, there was no shortage of suitors.

Real Madrid actually wants him very much, even if he is not so good X Real Madrid is also eager for talent, because Lord Florentillo values his commercial value. After all, there are only 1.3 billion people in China, how many people are professional football, and how many people can reach the level of mainstream European leagues, and how many people like and love football? When Real Madrid cooperated with Guangzhou Evergrande Club, they wanted to introduce a main Evergrande international player to Real Madrid to play football, just for commercial interests, whether it was Grandpa Mao in the hands of Chinese bosses and tycoons or Grandpa Mao in the hands of fans.

Although Mr. Florentino used to like Peseta and now likes the euro and the pound, this does not prevent him from always loving "Grandpa Mao"!

It's just that at that time, Evergrande's domestic players were very good in the Chinese Super League and were outstanding. But once it is put into the five major leagues, it is a bit insufficient, let alone the famous Real Madrid?

At that time, Mourinho would definitely not let such a player appear in his team, and the team of the Magic Birds has always been relatively lean. If Fiorentino forced a player like that in, Mourinho wouldn't say anything on the surface, but the next day you would have to go to Castilla (Real Madrid's reserves, playing in La Liga) or a lower echelon to find this player.

So Florentino himself dismissed this idea, and when Li Zihan shined in Europe, the eyes of the Buddha lit up again. Of course, if it was really a beauty, he wouldn't be so excited, after all, even if he had the heart, he wouldn't have that strength

All in all, Florentino still very much wants to bring Li Zihan to the Bernabeu, as can be seen from Zidane's personal search for Li Zihan. It's just that at that time, Real Madrid's entire focus was on Bale, and it was not a season problem for them to observe Bale. On the issue of transfer fees alone, he has been involved with Tottenham's Levy for more than a season.

At this time, we must not retreat halfway, otherwise the once popular "Real Madrid wants to buy people, there is nothing that can't be bought!" "It's a joke. And Bale is not a player that Real Madrid's coach Ancelotti particularly needs, so considering that he has already forced a player that the coach does not need, it is not good to continue to stuff the second one, otherwise the new coach will be cheating on the father because of conflicts due to non-competitive factors only one or two months after taking office

Therefore, due to various reasons, coupled with Li Zihan's own subjective factors, Real Madrid failed to win Li Zihan.

In fact, Li Zihan is more fond of Dortmund, and he has been moved by John Dassler since he acted as a lobbyist as a friend. After all, Borussia Dortmund were one of the most popular teams in Europe at the time, despite losing to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich in the Champions League final. But Dortmund's fighting spirit, tactics and their fans are all things that Li Zihan likes. At the same time, as John Dassler said, there are many young players in Dortmund, and manager Klopp actually has a reputation for being good at training young players under the name of his personality coach, but it is covered up by his usual "hair dryer" and "lion's roar" and rich expressions and movements.

Gotze, Royce, Gundogan and others are among the representatives, and before that, Shinji Kagawa and Saheen.

However, just when Li Zihan was about to take it anymore and called John to ask him to ask Dortmund to officially report a very sincere transfer fee, Arsenal finally made a move.

So Li Zihan didn't say a word, and immediately threw himself into Wenger's warm embrace, he valued not his own ability improvement and Wenger's golden signboard, in the hearts of young players, the name Wenger is already an irresistible temptation.

Of course, in the end, Li Zihan also found what he had been caring about at Arsenal, his position is not limited to the position of the center, but the free combination of the middle and the wing. He also knew that his body was too weak in the middle lane, so he liked this more free way.

And Arsene Wenger has also carried out a detailed and targeted training plan for himself in other aspects, and he is indeed steadily and slowly rising. Arsene Wenger's training programme is very effective, and as a coach who has coached countless world-class players, Wenger also attaches great importance and experience to the protection of young people, which of course may also be due to the fact that Arsenal have never been involved in "mass injuries".

And to be honest, in addition to these, Wenger's football philosophy for Arsenal is also what Li Zihan likes. Arsenal's football is still very well-known in the fan circle, as long as you are not a Manchester United fan.

When Li Zihan was not famous in Chengdu, he liked Arsenal's football very much. In one sentence: "Watching Arsenal play is a pleasure in itself!" "That's what countless neutral fans are saying.

In Li Zihan's view, Arsenal's football is an idealization, or a dream. And Mourinho's football is realistic, more utilitarian. But there is nothing wrong with the philosophy of the two great coaches, but the dream that Wenger and Arsenal can remain sixteen or eighteen years old in this football circle where money and utilitarianism have turned black fungus is indeed a success in itself.

So summing up so many reasons, Li Zihan finally chose Arsenal, or maybe he has been waiting for Arsenal's call.

And if it weren't for some conceptual disagreements with the club's top management, and the overall environment of Italian football is not good, maybe Li Zihan would not have left or left so early. But once he left, Li Zihan actually always had a goal in his heart - Arsenal!

Li Zihan doesn't know how long he can stay at Arsenal, and he doesn't know if he will break up with Arsenal for other reasons. But he knows that, for now, Arsenal is the best fit for him, and he only likes Arsenal and Arsene Wenger!
