Chapter 500: The first meeting with Real Madrid

The Champions League semi-finals between Arsenal and Real Madrid came as scheduled, and the media hyped up some numbers before the game, such as how many times Real Madrid and Arsenal have encountered in history, with several wins, several draws and several losses. Then there are the number of wins, draws and losses between Real Madrid's star Cristiano Ronaldo and Arsenal, then Gareth Bale in the Premier League against Arsenal, and finally Real Madrid against Premier League teams, and Arsenal against La Liga teams

All in all, in Li Zihan's words, the "eighteen generations of ancestors" have been turned over by those reporters.

Li Zihan, who attended the pre-match press conference with Arsene Wenger, said in the face of reporters' questions: "Is there no upper hand between Arsenal and Real Madrid? Sorry, I'm not interested in those old calendars. Interested in what? Nonsense, of course I'm interested in reaching the finals."

Subsequently, Li Zihan's words were distorted and misunderstood in various ways

"Arsenal striker Lee said Arsenal could easily knock out Real Madrid and advance to the final"

"Lee thinks Real Madrid is nothing more than that, and it must be Arsenal who will win in the end"

"Lee salivates over the Champions Cup, Real Madrid's 10th Champions League title is about to retire"

"Real Madrid were not able to bring in Lee in the last summer transfer window, so Lee intends to use this game to show Real Madrid what he is capable of"

"Lee: Joining Real Madrid? I'm not interested in that, I'm interested in what? Nonsense, of course, beating Real Madrid to reach the Champions League final. ”

In this way, Li Zihan passively had some unhappiness with Real Madrid.

Although he has already experienced the undisciplined and unrestrained spirit of every day, every time something like this happens to him, Li Zihan is still quite painful.

And this also makes Real Madrid's fans very unhappy, as one of the noble clubs, Real Madrid's fans also have their own pride. So when I saw that many media were saying that Li Zihan wanted to beat Real Madrid, in order to "humiliate" the Welshman Gareth Bale who did not choose his own decision!

Real Madrid fans don't know what Li Zihan is talking about, but seeing so many media writing like this, they naturally have a preconceived idea.

"You still want to join us Real Madrid?? What else can he do but run fast and score more goals? Oh, by the way, he can still sell jerseys," said the Real Madrid fan in an interview with the British media.

It's just that he didn't notice that his words embarrassed many strikers. To score goals, to score a lot of goals, and to have a wide business path, isn't that already a very good striker?

England fans began to complain: It was really the arrogant Real Madrid, and such conditions were not enough to join them

Susan was a little dissatisfied with Li Zihan's answer after seeing the media reports, and Susan, who has now become a qualified agent, obviously understands what players should and should not say when facing the media here, and must consider whether what you say will be misinterpreted by the media or add fuel to the fire

However, she thought that Li Zihan was in such trouble now, but Li Zihan didn't care, and he told Susan that he really had no plans to go to Real Madrid now anyway, and even if he knelt down and begged for mercy, Real Madrid would not deliberately let them win. Besides, even if you plan to join Real Madrid in the future, as long as your "capital" is strong, are you afraid that you won't be able to attract Real Madrid, the "big pervert"?

Even Figo was poached by Real Madrid to their arch-rival Barcelona.

Susan rolled her eyes and stopped talking, anyway, she knew that Li Zihan had a maturity that didn't look like he should have.

And in Arsenal, it's not just Li Zihan and Real Madrid who have a story. The story between Mesut Ozil and Real Madrid, the heart of the midfield, can be told for three days and three nights.

Mesut Ozil rose to fame at a young age, and although he came from Schalke 04's excellent youth system, it was the famous Werder Bremen that really started to shine!

The 21-year-old then joined Real Madrid, and although he quickly became the core of the midfield of this century-old world-class giant, he made a total of 74 assists and scored 34 goals in three seasons at Real Madrid, which is a considerable number.

From the age of twenty-one to twenty-four, Mesut Ozil gave his most beautiful youth to Real Madrid. But this season, with the arrivals of Gareth Bale and Isco, his place in the team has become less secure. The new coach Carlo Ancelotti has a dispensable attitude towards him, and Florentino has spent a lot of money to buy Bale, and he has to sell players to ease the financial pressure.

So, Ozil became a victim.

This match was also hyped by the media as a revenge battle for Ozil!!

However, in an interview with the media before the game, Goldfish Eye said: "There is no conflict between me and Real Madrid, I played there for three years and I really want to be there. And now Real Madrid has a lot of good friends of mine, so we're not the kind of relationship that you [the media] think we're having. When I found out that Real Madrid didn't really need me anymore and I really wanted to change to a new environment and try some new challenges, I joined Arsenal. That's it, it's very simple. I respect Real Madrid, but I'm an Arsenal player now and as a professional I'm going to do everything I can to help my team win.

The reporters pouted, saying that Ozil was not cute at all and didn't know how to cooperate

And just like that, the lively Champions League semi-finals between Arsenal and Real Madrid arrived.

Arsenal sat at home, the main force was exhausted, and Li Zihan and Ozil, who were rested, both played.

On Real Madrid's side, Ancelotti also lined up his strongest lineup. The attacking duo of Real Madrid's 'BBC' in the front three of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale was the natural starter. There are also youngster Isco and Croatian midfield stalwart Modric and Mesut Ozil's German friend Khedira.

Real Madrid's midfielder Xavi Alonso was not included in the 18-man squad due to injury, but he did come to the Stadium to cheer on his team-mates and the team.

As soon as the game began, Real Madrid took control of the ball and began to attack Arsenal's backline desperately, without the slightest feeling of being a guest, but like they were at their own Bernabeu stadium.

Arsenal could only helplessly defend passively and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a very strong man, he has most of the ball in control of Real Madrid, but of course his ability makes people feel very strong.

After bursting into the box, the Portuguese didn't have a good angle, but he still opted to hit the ball strongly. The ball flew straight towards the goal, but fortunately Szczesny was well prepared and hugged it directly.

Then the hosts of various TV media began to applaud Cristiano Ronaldo, saying that this is a top star, often creating opportunities when there is no chance, and although Li Zihan has excellent ability and shines this season, there is still a lot of gap with such a superstar.

Two minutes later, Li Zihan gave a wonderful solo performance that made these commentators feel hot on their faces.

After withstanding the initial pressure from Real Madrid, Arsenal looked for an opportunity to attack.

Ramsey made a long pass over the top, Li Zihan began to run, came to the general direction of the ball, he did not catch the ball, but protected his body and let the ball pass.

He then spun and raced past Modric to receive the ball behind him, then strode it over and then walked the touchline around German midfielder Khedira's defensive area.

Carvajal on the flanks was a little nervous, and although he was already a regular at Real Madrid's full-back this season, he still didn't have much experience in a big game like the Champions League semi-finals.

Li Zihan easily deceived Carvajal with a passing feint, and then wiped the ball past him with the ball.

Then he rushed along the touchline, watching Ozil, who was outflanked in the middle, unable to keep up with his speed. Li Zihan gave up the idea of a bottom cross, and he took the ball directly and cut inside.

Seeing that there was no defensive barrier on the side, Real Madrid's central defender Pepe came to fill in the position.

Li Zihan knows Pepe, the Portuguese who can shine in his own way even in a big club like Real Madrid.

Looking at the other party's vicious eyes and face, Li Zihan thought that without him making any moves, this expression could defend ordinary players.

But Li Zihan is not an ordinary player, he made a feint to go outside and force Pepe. Then he pulled the ball back and then reversed the triangle and passed it back to Mesut Ozil in the middle.

Li Zihan's passing is very exquisite, he once learned some passing knowledge with Ozil, the ball successfully dodged Pepe's outstretched foot, and accurately came to Ozil's running line.

Ozil didn't take the ball directly, but took advantage of the situation and slid it straight into the box.

Li Zihan had also bypassed Pepe's side at this time, and then successfully came to the penalty area.

"Arsenal's chances, the heart-to-heart cooperation between Ozil and Li Zihan, straight stop!! Li Zihan !! Knock on the door!! Real Madrid is in danger!! ”
