Chapter 353: Ittihad, thunderous applause!

"Thomas!!" Seeing that Rosicky, a model worker and a good old man who has always been dedicated to his job, did not listen to his arrangement, Wenger was quite angry. Regardless of Rosicky, when he came over, he had to call his coaching team and team doctor to help hold Li Zihan.

But at this time, Rosicky got up from his seat, put his arm around Wenger's shoulders and said: "Hey, my dear, dear professor, you look at the current situation, because of what measures we should take. You see, I'm not on the pitch for two years at my age, what do you think of my coaching job after I retire? Oh, don't stare at me like that."

The two of them are like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years, greeting together, talking about digging birds' nests together, going down to the river to fish, and peeking at the little girl's bathing forehead, just like two old friends reminiscing about their childhood.

Truth be told, Arsene Wenger's prestige at Arsenal hasn't been a day or two, although many times Wenger has been quite good to his players. But Rosicky was stared at like this, and he was a little unbearable, and his weak heart was the least.

Li Zihan glanced at Rosicky gratefully, and then ran to the sidelines to find the fourth official.

Of course, it is impossible for such a big commotion on the bench here to go undetected, at least the broadcast camera has been on the Arsenal bench.

There were some disagreements on the sidelines of Arsenal, and Arsene Wenger wanted to replace Li Zihan, who was bleeding from injury, but Li Zihan thought he had no problem and could still persevere. There were some verbal altercations between the two, oh it seems that the Arsenal players still support Li Zihan, after all, they know that the current situation on the field is quite unfavorable to them, and Li Zihan has hope on the field at this time. What a witty Thomas Rosicky, who actually broke Wenger apart. ”

The fourth official looked at Li Zihan and said, "I'm sorry, sir, I may not be able to let you play." ”

Li Zihan was stunned for a moment, then became angry and asked, "Why?" ”

The fourth official reluctantly pointed to his jersey and said: "More FIFA rules, players cannot wear bloodstained jerseys on the field. ”

Li Zihan looked down, and sure enough, there was a blood stain on his chest under his neckline. Li Zihan had to admire the fourth official's eyesight, the jersey was red, and the red blood dripping on it was difficult to attract attention, even if he saw it, he only thought it was sweat, but the fourth official only glanced at it and determined it.

Li Zihan smiled awkwardly, blushed a little embarrassed, and said, "This is sweat." ”

The voice was very small, maybe he couldn't believe his own excuse, right?

The fourth official shook his head firmly, and said in his heart, no matter how good-looking you are, rules are rules, not to mention what is the use of you being so good-looking? It's not a woman anyway

Li Zihan definitely didn't know that the fourth official with a serious face in front of him and a serious official would actually have such thoughts in his heart.

He ran to the bench to find the shirt keeper.

"Grandpa Vic, jersey fast!" Li Zihan said to the club's shirt administrator, Vic Acks, who is 67 years old this year.

Like Arsene Wenger, the elder Vic is now silver-haired. His wrinkled face was a little helpless, and he spread his hands and said, "I'm sorry, dear Lee." There are no more jerseys for you, so I brought two sets of jerseys for each of you, one for the regular ones and one for the spare ones, and now you have worn both of them. ”

Li Zihan's face widened, a little incredible, there was no jersey to wear

Looking at the sidelines, the Manchester City players who had lined up the human wall, and their teammates who were waiting for him, Li Zihan knew that he didn't have time, and his little face was full of anxious looks.

Wenger was originally stirred up by Rosicky and had agreed that Li Zihan would continue to play, but seeing this situation, he started to change him again, and there was no shirt anyway.

Li Zihan is undoubtedly the focus of this game, so the camera often catches him, and the "conflict" between him and Wenger during this time is undoubtedly a good material for hype, so the camera has been following him when Li Zihan is on the sidelines.

Through the broadcaster's large stadium screen, the fans in the stands clearly knew what was going on.

Alan was the first to react, and he took off the jersey on his body that was signed by Li Zihan. Without the slightest shyness on his upper body, he threw the jersey down the stands and shouted: "Lee's side!" Jersey!! ”

Arsenal fans' away fans are placed in the corner of the corner flag area by Manchester City, and most home clubs do the same for rival away fans, both to affect their cheering momentum and to separate them from their home fans for security reasons.

So Li Zihan, who was anxious on the bench, didn't see the jersey that Alan threw down, but at this time it was Alan who was anxious, because he had seen the referee communicating with the fourth official in the headset, and if there was no accident, Li Zihan would continue to wait on the sidelines, or let Arsenal make a substitution.

Allan's action reminded the other Arsenal fans around him, and the fans wearing the red jerseys of Arsenal's home stadium did the same at this time, took off their jerseys, threw them off the stands, and then shouted in unison: "Lee!! This way!! Jersey!!! ”

The pitch is a bit big despite the distance. But the shouts of more than 3,000 people still paid attention to alarming Li Zihan, who was still pleading with the fourth official on the side.

Li Zihan turned his head to look, and the first thing he saw was that many people in the stands were only wearing coats and no inner clothes, revealing their nakedness. There are many Chinese paper fans, of course, there are many female fans, and there are even some shirtless fans in this winter.

Before Li Zihan could figure out what was happening, the fans in the stands chanted in unison again, reminding him.

He rushed to the stands quickly, picked up a jersey, and was about to put it on his body, but found that the color of the jersey was wrong, and at first glance, it was the yellow Szczesny goalkeeper's jersey.

Li Zihan put down his jersey and looked for his jersey number among the many jerseys, and in this anxious situation, he actually pulled a chest. cover

Li Zihan couldn't laugh or cry a little.

'It was a touching scene, with Arsenal's Lee not being able to play immediately due to a shirt issue and both of his shirts were damaged. Just when they were at a loss, the Arsenal fans who came to the away stadium threw their shirts onto the pitch. This is undoubtedly the warmest in this big winter. There are some fans who are wearing only their jerseys and they are still shirtless."

Li Zihan finally found his number from a bunch of jerseys, in fact, as a hot striker in Arsenal and even all of Europe, Li Zihan's popularity among fans is still relatively large. So fans wear his jersey to watch a lot, and the reason why Li Zihan didn't find his No. 12 jersey easily is because he is more anxious.

As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Li Zihan put the jersey on his body, then bent down and picked up two jerseys on the ground and threw them into the stands.

"Li Zihan wants to throw the jersey to the stands and return it to the fans, after all, many fans are still shirtless."

After throwing two pieces, Li Zihan felt that time was running out, and he panted and ran to the position of the fourth official. Before looking for the fourth official, Li Zihan told the staff at the stadium about the fans' jerseys, hoping that they could help him return the jerseys to the fans.

This is the Etihad, and most of the staff on site are also Manchester City fans. Although they were very unhappy with their opponents, the staff were still moved by the Arsenal fans at this time.

There is no shortage of opponents on the pitch to conquer the opposing home fans, such as the Bernabeu and Camp Nou. If you do a particularly good job at their home stadium and convince them, they'll give you a standing ovation, of course, but you can't be a Barcelona player or a fan at the Bernabeu, and you can't be a Real Madrid fan or player at Camp Nou.

Seeing that the staff of the stadium went to help pick up the jersey, Li Zihan breathed a sigh of relief.

"No problem now, right? Mr. Li Zihan turned his head to the fourth official and asked.

The fourth official communicated with the referee Dodd through the headset, and after getting a clear answer from the referee, he nodded and said, "It's okay, sir." ”

So Li Zihan ran quickly to the court.

Suddenly, there was applause at the scene, at the beginning of a little sporadically, gradually, like a butterfly effect, the applause became louder and louder, and the most common thing was thunder.

Li Zihan turned around and looked around. He found that at some point, all the fans in the stadium stood up from their seats - applauding.

Li Zihan was stunned for a moment, and then also raised his hand to applaud to show his gratitude.

"All the fans in the stadium stood up and applauded, it was the Manchester City fans at home paying tribute to their opponents. Obviously, Li Zihan continued to play despite the injury, and the selfless support of the Arsenal fans for his club and players touched the Manchester City fans. At this time, the gentlemanly demeanor of the British is on full display! ”

"Manchester City fans and Arsenal fans have redefined this game, this moment, it has nothing to do with the opponent, this moment, it has nothing to do with winning or losing, this moment is only football itself!"

"This match, I think, is a memorable, big-book game for both sides. It has nothing to do with the many records that have been made, it has nothing to do with big wins or regrets, and of course, it has nothing to do with the damn standings in the league, Manchester City and Arsenal are rivals, one of the biggest enemies on the road to the title. But at this time, they are friends!! ”

"That's football!! There is enthusiasm, momentum, hard work, of course, and more touching!! That's football, that's what football means! How can you not love such a Premier League??? Uncle Zhan Jun's standard mantra blurted out again.
