Chapter 487: Big Four

When Li Zihan completed his hat-trick, everyone knew that there were no other surprises in the outcome of this match. Arsenal will get an away win in this Champions League, with the only surprise being a couple of away goals and United's ability to develop without being "shaved down"

And a commentator announced Manchester United's "death sentence" in the first half: "This must be the second-longest game in the Champions League this season, the first longest is in the group stage, Real Madrid's 7-0 bloodshed in Galasatare"

However, it is also true that under such a scoreline, Manchester United will not be able to recover even if it is at home. The Red Devils are not gunners again, and there is a magical Lee

At the start of the second half, Arsenal made no changes to their line-up. However, the United began to look for ways to save themselves, and Cleverley, who did not have a good appearance in the first half, was replaced by Japanese attacking midfielder Shinji Kagawa

At this point, the long-awaited "Asian Derby" by Japanese fans and the media finally started in the second half, but the current Japanese media are embarrassed to hype this topic.

People have already scored a hat-trick, how can you compare? In Old Trafford's history, how many non-United players have scored a hat-trick on this piece of grass?

The Japanese media are not as faceless as the Korean media, and they all feel the blush as they continue to hype up the topic.

David Moyes made two substitutions in quick succession, and Belgian midfielder Marouane Fellaini, who received a yellow card and had a bad temper and temperament, was put on the bench, even though he was Moyes' henchman "royalist". But the first half of the table xiàn was really disappointing, his offensive task was to insert a long shot and fight for the high ball at the same time, but in the first half there was no offensive table xiàn at all. Defensively, he was assigned to mark Arsenal's frontcourt core Li Zihan, but Li Zihan completed a hat-trick in the half

And he almost provoked an incident, although Manchester United and Arsenal have not had a group fight on the pitch, but now Moyes's position is already unstable, if such a thing still affects Manchester United's reputation, especially if it is still a big loss.

He was replaced by Portuguese winger Nani, who was once hailed as Cristiano Ronaldo's second generation and who did not achieve the expected results at Old Trafford and is now a marginalised player in David Moyes' camp, along with Shinji Kagawa.

Such a substitution was ridiculed by Chinese fans: "The Japanese media is bullying, you two people fight one person, is it still called a derby?"

They make fun of Nani as being a Japanese player because Nani's pronunciation is similar to the Japanese pronunciation of "what".

However, this change also shows that Moyes is not satisfied with the team's attacking side, and even players he doesn't like are on the pitch at this time.

There was still a lot of criticism from the outside world for Moyes's arrangement, because the young player Januzaj, who was expected to be produced by Manchester United's academy, did not get an appearance

"Moyes, this is an idle egg. Wouldn't it be nice if you arranged an offensive formation as soon as you came up, and you had to waste two substitutions. ”

"Moyes wanted to play both offensively and defensively, but up front he relied too much on Dutch centre-forward Robin van Persie. And Van Persie's table today is also a pit for him, in this case, I think he can consider replacing Van Persie, who is not in good shape. Bring on Januzaj and push Rooney up front."

After Shinji Kagawa and Nani came on, Manchester United did get a lot of improvement in attack. Shinji Kagawa's passing and Nani's breakthrough ability also freed up Rooney a little, allowing Chubby to focus more on shooting and scoring.

It's just that the offense is good, but the defense is plummeting.

Moyes's two substitutions in the second half were also a desperate battle, with the idea that if it didn't work, it would be a good idea.

Just what's not good, what's coming.

Arsenal held steady for five minutes in the second half before starting to attack Manchester United. Without the restrictions of Fellaini and Cleverley, the offensive line formed by Li Zihan, Mesut Ozil, Wilshere and Oxlain is even more unscrupulous.

Valencia, who was on the wing, could only use his body and speed to suppress the teenager Oxlade-Chamberlain slightly, and as for the other three, he was too busy to take care of himself. And although Shinji Kagawa works hard, his ability to defend is very average, and Nani is worse than Shinji Kagawa.

United were largely devoid of the interception and defensive midfield barriers, with Marouane Fellaini being replaced and Michael Carrick being relegated to a centre-back position.

Therefore, Arsenal's attack can frequently directly threaten Manchester United's backline, as well as David De Gea's goal.

In the frenzy of Arsenal, Manchester United finally conceded again, and Li Zihan's breakthrough with the ball stirred up Manchester United's backline. And when Manchester United focused all their defensive strength on him, Li Zihan sent a cross in front of goal.

Mesut Ozil, who was following up, did not waste Li Zihan's kindness and fired the ball directly into the goal guarded by De Gea. Poor Spanish goalkeeper, today is not destined to be his lucky day

It was 4-0, and although there was still half an hour left in the game, some fans had already started to leave the stadium, and the remaining fans were also chanting the slogan of Moyes's dismissal

Seeing that the game was almost impossible to turn around, Arsene Wenger began to make substitutions. He replaced Mesut Ozil, who had just scored, with Cazorla, who had returned from injury.

This is to find Cazorla's form, after all, it is impossible to be as good as before he has just returned to form. At the same time, it can be regarded as a slight conservance of strength, allowing Ozil to get a rotational rest in order to face more challenges in the future.

Mesut Ozil clapped his hands on the visitors and then hugged Cazorla for the handover.

After Cazorla came on, Arsenal's attack was inevitably restrained. Cazorla, who has just returned, is indeed not in good shape, the so-called poor form, and the pit will go to the next home. Under the influence of Cazorla, Arsenal's attack is not as fluid and fast as before.

The ball slowed down as soon as it reached Cazorla's side, but that didn't stop the Arsenal players from setting Cazorla away. There is a chance that Li Zihan and Oxlade-Chamberlain and Wilshere will still pass the ball to Cazorla, although they know that it is very likely that the ball will be won by the opponent and launch a counter-attack.

It's the support that the whole team has given to Cazorla, and the Arsenal dressing room has always been very harmonious, and you can see from that that everyone is very welcoming to Cazorla's return.

Although Podolski was not satisfied that he had not been given the opportunity to play, he still gave Cazorla a round of applause.

When the game came to the 70th minute, Wenger began to think about whether to replace Li Zihan, because at this time, Manchester United did not pay attention to Li Zihan's defense, but kept fouling

Arsene Wenger is worried that Li Zihan will be injured by the opponent's foul tactics, which is a huge loss for Arsenal. And now Arsenal is 4-0, Li Zihan has also completed a hat trick, and the game has reached the 70th minute of the game. It's also very appropriate to make substitutions at this time.

But just as he was pondering whether to put centre-forward Olivier Giroud on the pitch or let Bendtner or youngster Sanogo accumulate experience, what happened on the pitch made the decision to keep Li Zihan on the pitch.

Oxlade-Chamberlain and Valencia were fighting on the wings, and after the team took the lead, Chamberlain didn't mind doing some "wayward" moves to show himself, and Valencia, who had been watching him, was a good opponent.

The pair fought on the sideline all the way from the edge of the Arsenal penalty area to the front of the halfway line. Oxlade-Chamberlain attacked with the ball, while Valencia pressed step by step, neither giving the opponent a chance to break through nor giving him space to pass the ball.

It looks like the two are fighting each other

And when he was not far from the halfway line, Oxlade-Chamberlain made a feint to break through the strong sideline, but suddenly passed the ball behind him.

Sagna didn't possess the ball, but sent the ball directly to Wilshere, who was diagonally in front of him.

The small threat also touched the ball with one kick and did not stick to the ball, but sent a through ball with one kick.

United's backline simply couldn't react and the ball rolled between Nemanja Vidic and Carrick and went behind them.

Li Zihan suddenly started, started from Vidic's side and then went behind the opponent to receive the ball. His sudden outbursts and speed were beyond the reach of Vidic, who was already old

"Single Knife !!!"

Manchester United's players haven't reacted yet, why is the ball still in the scramble between Oxlade-Chamberlain and Valencia on the wing, and the ball is behind them in the blink of an eye?

De Gea was the first to react and immediately abandoned the door. The two met on the line of the penalty area, and De Gea learned to be good this time, facing Li Zihan to prevent both his boccia ball and his lob shot.

It's just that Li Zihan didn't choose either, he drove the ball out of the way not far away, and waited for De Gea to save immediately. Got the ball back.

"Directly smash the goalkeeper !!"

De Gea, who fell to the ground, was powerless, and Li Zihan, who had deducted the goalkeeper, quickly brought the ball to the small penalty area, and finally faced the unguarded goal, Li Zihan pushed in front of the goal, and the ball rolled into the goal easily.

"Senior Happiness !!!!!"

After the goal, Li Zihan ran to the stands of the away team Arsenal and waved to the fans in the stands.

Agitated Arsenal fans almost broke through the security guards and stormed the pitch.

Wilshire also took advantage of this time to celebrate the goal and came up to Li Zihan and said: "I owe you the assist, but I will pay you back"

Li Zihan glanced at him: "What about interest?" ”

Wilshere: ""
