Chapter 453: The Brightest Star in the Night Sky
In the visitors' dressing room, Arsene Wenger praised his team's fighting spirit and set up for the second half.
Arsene Wenger was not as good as Mourinho in terms of on-the-spot command and scheduling, but his adjustment at half-time was far better than that of the opposition.
On the other side, in the home team's dressing room, Mourinho was scolding his team.
In the fan stands outside the locker room, a "plump" buddy returned to his stand happily with popcorn and beer in his hand after going to the toilet.
But when he looked up and saw the score on the scoreboard, he was directly stunned, and it took a long time to realize that this was not his delusion.
At this time, he patted the fan sitting in front of him.
I was in a bad mood, and I felt that someone was filming me, and the fan turned around very unhappily. But when he saw the fans behind him wearing the Chelsea home shirt from a few years ago, his attitude suddenly became much better: "What are you doing? ”
"Well, I remember that the score was 3 to 1, how did it become 3 to 2? How did the captain's goal go to Arsenal, this staff"
The captain he said was naturally John Terry, and when he saw that the score was wrong, and the name of the scorer below the score was Terry, he was even more puzzled.
Eden Hazard and Oscar have good set-piece skills, and the likes of Gary Cahill, John Terry and Ivan have been scoring from corners this season. It's also a testament to Chelsea's lack of striker, with many times more goals scored in midfield than in the front line.
So at first, the 'busty' male fan thought it was Chelsea who had scored from a corner or free-kick, but the careless stadium staff wrote the goal underneath Arsenal's name.
"It's in, Terry is in. It's just an own goal. When he said this, the fans in the front row looked a little weak.
“”
Fifteen minutes passed quickly after the break, and players from both sides began to walk out of the tunnel and onto the pitch again.
Li Zihan chatted with some Chelsea acquaintances in the passage, including his friend Fernando Torres, and Juan Mata, but Mata went to another red team during the winter transfer - Manchester United!
And looking at Torres' current form and Mourinho's distrust, Li Zihan also knows that Torres' time at Chelsea is running out, even though his contract will not expire until two years.
After being reminded by the staff to play, the acquaintances between the two teams stopped communicating and began to wait for each other.
There may be some friends between the players of both teams, but when it comes to the game, they are still enemies.
When Li Zihan walked out of the players' tunnel, he heard the fans singing, which did not attract his attention at first, because during the two periods between the beginning of the first half and the beginning of the second half, the fans often sang to cheer for their team or praise their team.
But after listening to it for a while, he felt that the melody and lyrics were very familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere.
"The brightest star in the night sky; whether they can be heard; He who looks; Loneliness and sighs in the bottom of my heart
oh the brightest star in the night sky; whether it can be remembered; has walked with me; A figure that disappeared into the wind
I pray to have a transparent heart; and eyes that will shed tears
Give me the courage to believe again; Oh go over the lies to hug you
Whenever I can't find the meaning of zài; Whenever I get lost in the night
oh ~ the brightest star in the night sky; Please guide me near you
the brightest star in the night sky; whether you know; the figure that has walked with me; Where is it now
oh the brightest star in the night sky; whether you care; It is waiting for the sun to rise; Or the unexpected comes first
I'd rather keep all the pain in my heart; Don't want to forget your eyes
Give me the courage to believe again; Oh go over the lies to hug you
Whenever I can't find the meaning of zài; Whenever I get lost in the night
oh ~ the brightest star in the night sky; Oh, please light me up
I pray to have a transparent heart; and eyes that will shed tears
Give me the courage to believe again; Oh go over the lies to hug you
Whenever I can't find the meaning of zài; Whenever I get lost in the night
oh ~ the brightest star in the night sky; Please light my way
the brightest star in the night sky; whether they can be heard; The one who looks
Loneliness and sighs from the bottom of my heart"
The more Li Zihan listened, the more familiar he felt, and he finally remembered it when he heard the climax. Isn't this the melody of "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" that I heard in China when I returned to China last summer? The melody and lyrics are the same, just different whether it is Chinese or not - he was sung in English by Arsenal fans.
Li Zihan turned his head and waved to the Arsenal fans who came to watch the game away, and the cheers and songs of the fans were even louder.
However, this situation did not last long, and soon unwilling to be so arrogant as their rivals on their home turf, Chelsea fans took advantage of the numerical advantage to suppress the other party's singing.
"Blue, our dreams, football, our sport
02Together, victory is our goal
Whether it's sunny or rainy, please keep cheering us on
02 Because our name is Chelsea, Chelsea
At Stamford Bridge, it's rain or shine
02We will always shine brightly"
"The Arsenal fans started singing at the start of the game in the hope of helping the team. However, they were soon overwhelmed by the Chelsea fans at home, and it was clear that the Blues supporters were unhappy with their rivals spreading wild on their own turf. If it's still 3-0, I don't think the Chelsea fans would mind showing their gentlemanliness."
"I've never heard the Arsenal fans sing, I'm not talking about them never singing, in fact they still sing a lot. It's just that I haven't heard this song before, is it a new work by fans? I have to say, it's pretty good. ”
Of course, this is not a zào created by fans, but a cover of a Chinese song.
In this season's Champions League quarter-finals, Arsenal defeated Bayern Munich in the second leg. The famous German authoritative media Bild once praised Li Zihan with the title of "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", and a fan in China also collected all the game videos of Li Zihan on a whim, and edited the footage of turning the tide or saving the team from fire and water. The music video is about five minutes long, and the soundtrack of this MV is the famous song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" from the Chinese rock band's escape plan, which also alludes to the theme of Bild.
I just didn't expect that as soon as this video came out, it became popular immediately! Originally, it was only spread on the domestic Internet, but after being reposted by a netizen to YouTube, the most popular video sharing website abroad, this video has also become popular abroad, and the key is that the song subtitles are also accompanied by English.
Arsenal fans think that the lyrics of this song are very suitable for Li Zihan's current state, and the melody is also beautiful and simple, so before this game, the head of a fan organization organized some fans who came to watch the game away to practice the song together. They had wanted to sing it towards the end of the game, thinking that Arsenal, who were now in hot form, had already sealed the win, and that the start time of the game belonged to the home Chelsea fans, after all, there were 30,000 people in the stadium.
But I didn't expect Arsenal to be beaten as soon as they came up, but Li Zihan also broke out again. That's why Arsenal fans thought of this song – it's really a perfect fit.
"Whenever I can't find the meaning of zài; Whenever I get lost in the night
the brightest star in the night sky; Please light me up! ”
There is really no sense of disobedience with Li Zihan's appearance in this game, and the Arsenal fans who originally felt dark in the game turned out to be because of Li Zihan, who instantly illuminated their path.
The game was not paused by the singing of the Arsenal fans, and the second half of the game continued with the singing of both teams.
Chelsea, who are playing at home, have made no adjustments, and it is clear that a one-goal lead still makes Mourinho feel good, even though they could have been three goals ahead.
Arsenal made substitutions at the beginning of the game, because Gibbs was sent off and the French veteran Flamini who went to the left wing-back position was replaced, and he was replaced by the Spanish international left wing-back Monreal, who can only play substitutes and rotations for the young Gibbs this season!
Although Flamini was younger, he often played in various positions in the second half, such as full-back, midfielder, central midfielder, full-back, and attacking full-back
But now he is no longer young, he is thirty years old. It's okay to play as a midfielder and as a central midfielder, but it's okay to play as a full-back
His weaknesses of slow pace and slow turning will be exposed to Chelsea's fast and capable side. In the face of Hazard's feints and Schurrle's rapid breakthrough, the veteran Flamini was easily beaten by the opponent.
Arsene Wenger believes Jose Mourinho will take advantage of Flamini's side and fight to the death, but "attacking the shortest" is the basic principle of football coaches.
In fact, in the second half of the first half, Chelsea had already shifted the focus of attack to Flamini's side, but Arsenal played very aggressively and aggressively, so Chelsea did not have good attacking opportunities, so Flamini was able to successfully "survive" to halftime
But after half-time adjustments, Chelsea will definitely change, at least not so "polite". It should be more active and focused in terms of scrambling and attacking, and Flamini is a ticking time bomb for Arsenal at this time.
To be on the safe side, Arsene Wenger switched to a professional full-back at the start of the second half - Spaniard Monreal!
