Chapter 580: The Unexpected Fox

Arsene Wenger proved to be too simple in his imagination of the promoted team, and the final result was very surprising. Arsenal was forced to draw 1-1 by this promoted team away from home, Leicester defended very tightly throughout the game, and Arsenal basically had no chance.

What can you do when even the opposition's only striker drops back to help defend as a central midfielder? Eleven people standing in the penalty area, this position alone is enough to block more than 80% of the opponent's shots.

And Leicester's defense is very targeted, and in the absence of many core players, they specifically focus on Li Zihan.

So Li Zihan fell into the opponent's muscle forest throughout the game, but Li Zihan is already very familiar with this kind of defense, especially in the Premier League. In a personal breakthrough, Li Zihan made a foul on the opponent and finally won a free kick in frontcourt.

The whole team of the opposing team, including the head coach, was scared, because the success rate of Li Zihan's free kick was too high!

As a result, just when everyone thought that Li Zihan would hit the goal directly, he suddenly passed the football to the head of the central defender Koscielny, the French central defender jumped up, and then a lion shook his head to attack the goal that Leicester City had been tightly defending for nearly an hour.

After Koscielny's goal, everyone thought the rest of Arsenal's game should be easy. After all, the Gunners are good at playing downwind, and when the score is ahead, they will play more calmly.

This was true in the following games, with Arsenal constantly using possession and back-and-forth pass-making to try to open up the opposition's defence, while Leicester were behind but had no time to attack.

Although the score has not been rewritten, the control of football has always been at the feet of Arsenal.

It wasn't until the end of the game that the clock went into three minutes of stoppage time. Arsenal stopped possessing the ball and were intent on killing the final three minutes.

But at this time, Leicester suddenly grabbed and the whole team pressed out. Such a change caught Arsenal off guard, and the opposing midfielder's outstretched foot pressing made Oxlade-Chamberlain stunned for a moment, and then couldn't dodge the ball and poked it away.

The stabbed ball landed right at the feet of the opposing striker, and then their only striker took the ball and dribbled forward.

Li Zihan was originally withdrawn to respond, because there was a Harry Kane in front of him, so his space for movement became larger, just like when there was Giroud in the front.

So his position was right in front of the opposing striker with the ball, and he hurriedly made a diagonal tackle to intercept the opponent.

Li Zihan still tackled the football, but the football only bounced on his toes, and the opposing striker bypassed Li Zihan from the side.

Football fell to Leicester City's midfielders again, and the midfielders who were supposed to keep up with the strategy suddenly became the main attackers.

Ramsey hurriedly pressed towards the opponent, and after Wilshere on the offensive end, Ramsey was more backward.

But the opponent's midfielder did not carry the ball himself, but passed it back to the striker who bypassed Li Zihan.

The Leicester striker received the ball and cut inside the sideline, then accelerated to get rid of it with a feint, and it went straight past the young Chambers.

Chambers struggled to catch up behind him, but the opposing striker had already picked up the ball and was on the edge of the box.

Koscielny came over to block, the opposing striker got up and shot, and after the forced Koscielny stretched his foot, immediately. Get the ball back and take a second shot.

The ball flew towards Arsenal's goal.

At this moment, everyone's hearts were lifted, and whether the goal scored or not scored was two completely different fates for the two teams.

The Arsenal fans were delighted when the ball hit Ospina's glove, but then the ball bounced back and continued towards the goal.

The Arsenal fan who raised his heart to his throat did not put it down, and immediately lifted it again.

The deflected ball hit the far end of the post, and Arsenal fans were rejoicing.

Just the smile on his face froze completely, because the ball hit the inside of the neutral post and bounced into the goal

The Leicester City team that scored the goal was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that the goal would really be scored. About three seconds later, when the referee's effective gesture of scoring was seen, the "Foxes" players in blue home jerseys began to celebrate.

And the Arsenal players were completely stunned.

"Arsenal bombarded Leicester City for 90 minutes before scoring a goal, and it was on Lee's individual ability to create a set-piece. Leicester launched a counter-attack in the space of a minute and then scored, and the number of shots was not as high as the quality of the shots," Hurhouse said.

'Arsenal didn't play after a change of line-up, they had a horrible 75 per cent possession and were unable to win the win and were held to a draw by Leicester. For this promoted team, their task was to win with fewer losses, but they didn't expect that a big pizza falling from the sky could face Arsenal and get a point, Leicester had actually won this game. ”

Arsene Wenger was a critic of the team's table in the dressing room, especially the striker's table. But Arsene Wenger's criticism is not the kind of swearing, infuriating, jumping-footed scolding.

Wenger's critics are very artistic, his voice is low, but very strict. He will tell you what you did wrong in this game, why you are not good enough, and how you should think about it according to the normal way of playing

The professor will not tell you what you should do, but will guide you and let you know how you should do it. They all sound the same, but there are essential differences. The former is Wenger telling you to do it, and the latter is Wenger telling you to think that you feel you should do it.

This kind of criticism is very acceptable to everyone, because what Wenger says is well-founded. So everybody is very convinced of Arsene Wenger, because playing in his hands, he can feel his own improvement.

Harry Kane, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Cazorla's leading front-court players were heavily criticised, followed by Ramsey and Chambers, and even Lee Zihan was criticised because Arsene Wenger felt that he did not give his all in this game, but had some concerns and reservations.

Wenger replaced so many main players, but he did not replace Li Zihan not because Li Zihan is the core and captain, but because he expects Li Zihan to lead these young players to victory.

Li Zihan lowered his head, he did have a mind, although the opponent sent two defenders to guard him, but according to his ability, he was able to disrupt the opponent's defense with the ball, and then create opportunities for other teammates, but most of the time he just went to bury his head in dribbling the ball.

Arsenal finished the third round of the league and they also stopped a two-game winning streak. Arsenal are now third in the table with two wins and one draw, with Chelsea on nine points from three wins, and Manchester City in second place, who are level on points with Arsenal in third, but they need two more goals on goal difference.

The next day, the media across England were criticizing Arsenal, who felt that Arsenal were not positive and ineffective against Leicester City.

Of course, they have always been two-sided, when you are good, they will praise you to the sky, and when you are not good, they will immediately start to sing about you.

'Arsenal have spent so much money this season and not much to gain, have they spent 140 million or 50 million euros? But the team didn't show the fighting power they should have, maybe they had to learn from their city rivals Tottenham last season, spending so much money to buy seven players, but in the end they had to play in the UEFA Cup"

Harry Kane's debut to Arsenal was not a good one, and he was rarely found in the stadium. It's cheap, but what's the use if you don't have the ability? It's better to use Sanogo, who was signed for free by Arsenal last season, and at least the physical advantage of the black man may still work wonders."

"Wenger's command and grasp of the overall situation are still not in place, this game against the promoted horses replaced a large number of substitutes, but the final result made the opponent a stunner to draw, if Wenger is a little more cautious, the three points will be in hand."

"Arsenal can't get the points given to Arsenal"

"Maybe Arsenal are still good at playing against the wind, and they are used to being abused against the tailwind, and they are not used to abusing other people all of a sudden," Mortenson said sarcastically. He was referring to Arsenal's games against Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid last season, where everyone thought Arsenal had lost and were turned over by the Gunners.

Of course, at that time it was Li Zihan's outbreak!

The media has criticized and degraded Arsenal, and the Arsenal players have not come forward to clarify or refute anything. Because at this time, the Arsenal players have already boarded the plane to report to the national team, and the beginning of September every year is the national team match day, of course, there is no main match at this time, just some warm-up games.

However, the international players who have been selected for their respective national teams still have to travel to the country for training and friendly matches, and they will have to stay with the national team for almost ten days before returning to the club after the national team mission.

It's a big upset for the internationals and the club because it's just the start of the season and it's time to lay a solid foundation. But all of a sudden, there were ten days of training and preparation, and the key was that the players flew halfway around the world to play and train, and they naturally didn't have much form back in the team, which had a great impact on the club's results. The key point is that the wages of the players during this period are still paid by the club.

The players are also unhappy, having flown halfway around the world to play against a team whose name they may not even have heard of, and to take the risk of injury. The season has just begun, and the main positions of each team have not yet been accurately positioned, but at this time, because of the injury or poor condition of the national team, then it is very likely that the main position will not be grabbed, and the next time to win back the trust of the head coach may be a month later.
