Chapter 286: This is Highbury!

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and it was clear that Arsenal had put their attacking focus on the wings.

Cazorla retracted a little bit and gave up space on the flanks to Sagna, who was plugged in behind. Sagna once again carried forward the true character of a defender with a knife, and broke through the sideline directly with the ball. When Grosskloitz came up and down, he was dodged by the French black man.

Facing Schmelzer, Sagna did not continue to break through with the ball, but handed the ball to Cazorla, who was next to him. Cazorla knocked the ball and handed it to Li Zihan, who was pulled from the middle to the side in front.

Li Zihan stopped the ball on his chest and wanted to turn around and attack. But the opposing player behind him resisted this, and with a slight tilt of his head, he aimed at Sven Bender's young face.

Li Zihan pressed his elbow against him, otherwise he stretched out his foot and poked the ball. Then sink your right shoulder and make a feint to break through from the right. Suddenly, with a hook of his right foot, the ball flew high and flew over his and Sven Bender's heads. Li Zihan took advantage of the situation to turn around and burst from the left, and Sven Bender came behind the opponent without resistance, and as soon as he raised his foot, he easily unloaded the ball.

"Li Zihan!! He is beautiful, and his body is so flexible. Compared to him, Sven Bender was as stiff as a piece of wood, and he was easily passed by Li Zihan. ”

As soon as Li Zihan turned around, he saw Hummels who had come to fill the position. After thinking about it for a while, Li Zihan decided to go to the bottom. As soon as he came to the bottom, Hummels arrived. Li Zihan raised his foot and passed the ball into the penalty area, Hummels couldn't stop the pass, it was worth symbolically raising his foot to block.

The ball flew to the middle, and Podolski, who had already cut from the wing, jumped to the top of the pitch. Of course, central defender Papadopoulos could not let go of the ball and jumped at the same time as him.

This is where Podolski's bounce comes in, taking a slight lead over the header. I don't have time to think about it, so I just take the opportunity to head a little - head the goal!

Weidenfeller jumped up to pick up the ball, but the ball was fast or his jump was not high enough, and the ball slid over the tips of his fingers.

The crowd was eagerly awaited, and the Arsenal fans stood up from their seats with excitement.

Bang!

"Oops," the crowd sighed.

The ball hit the crossbar and Dortmund narrowly escaped.

"The crisis hasn't been resolved, Wilshere !!"

The ball bounced back into the penalty area, and Wilshere, who had been covering Podolski, suddenly came out at this time. Facing the flying ball, shoot with your feet.

The ball flew towards Borussia Dortmund's goal for the second time in three seconds and the Hornets were nervous again.

Weidenfeller, who had just made a save and landed, had just stood up when he saw the ball fly again, and he didn't have time to think about it. Immediately make a second save, a lateral side pounce, stretching out his limbs in the air to show his maximum defensive area.

"Oh," the Arsenal fan let out a sigh of amazement and regret for the second time.

Weidenfeller saved Wilshere's follow-up shot, and in a hurry he couldn't hold the ball, but the ball hit him and flew off the line.

"Weidenfeller!! This ball can be saved!! It's just a state of being, Wilshere's follow-up shot was quite sudden, but it still failed to break the ten fingers of the German goal. However, Arsenal did not get nothing, at least getting a chance to attack from a corner. ”

Wilshere's corner kick goes straight to Vermaelen in the box.

Vermaelen, who was bent on atonement for his sins, headed the ball to the top, and the ball was on top. But the force was not grasped well, the top was high, and the ball flew directly out of the goal crossbar.

Although the attack did not slow down, Vermaelen, who had made a mistake before, failed to score the atonement header. But Arsenal supporters did not blame him and gave him a round of applause.

That's what Arsenal fans are, they don't go for one player. When the team went wrong, they were all directly "accountable" to Arsene Wenger, even though the old man was almost the founder of Arsenal's big club. If there is a problem with the club, the fans will go to the CEO or chairman of the Arsenal club to protest.

When Vermaelen landed, he buried his head deep in the ground, like an ostrich without a face, and as if he was reproaching himself.

The Gunners captain could almost smell the grass coming from the grass at one of the best stadiums in Europe, and after hearing the applause of the fans, Vermaelen raised his head and trotted towards the backfield, clapping his hands in thanks.

The Dortmund fans began to sing and cheer on their team, as Dortmund fell into a rhythm of being beaten several times by their owners Arsenal at the start of the second half. The Hornet's "honey" wants to use this as a way to call on the team to attack and give the other team a little color.

On their home turf, Borussia Dortmund's Crazy 80,000 home stadiums have always been accustomed to cheering their teams in this way. And they've brought that habit to the away side, and of course, it's the habit of almost all the team's fans

This undoubtedly angered the nearly 50,000-odd Arsenal fans in attendance.

Why, do you know what this place is? Even the 3,000 of you who dare to call their stadium Highbury in private and in slogans are the sponsor's Emirates Stadium, just like Dortmund has always called their stadium Westfa. Ron Stadium and not the Idona Signal Park Stadium are about the same) arrogant?

"If I were a bullet,

Galloping in the air in Highbury,

I must know where I'm going

- rush, rush, rush,

Straight to the enemy's chest. ”

"I don't care about the confusion I once had,

Ignoring the enemy's obstruction,

I won't be melancholy for no reason

- Flying, flying, flying,

- Gunshots, I have my direction! ”

"Dancing passionately in Highbury,

Knowing the abode of the enemy,

Waiting for them to put their guns down,

At that time I used my usual calmness,

Resolute, piercing his arrogance,

Penetrate into his overly proud heart.

- Bang, bang, bang,

- Ah, the smell of gunsmoke left on him! ”

Arsenal supporters deliberately accentuated the words "rush", "chest", "direction", "stab", "arrogance", "heart", "bang bang" and other words to remind opponents not to be too arrogant, this is Highbury, it is the territory of the musketeers, and if you dare to be arrogant, we will dare to "shoot".

Dortmund's 3,000 men are Arsenal's opponents of more than 50,000 men? In less than five seconds, the whole stadium resounded with the singing of Arsenal fans, and the huge cannon flag was waved by the fans in the wind. And the Hornets fans could only look at each other unwillingly, and then ignore it, singing their own songs. Although they knew that the players on the field could barely hear their singing, they did not give up this seemingly "useless" behavior.

It's just that many Dortmund fans have made up their minds, and when they return to their home stadium in the next leg, they want to let these hateful England see Westfa, which is known as the craziest home stadium in Europe. Len's roar.

Not to mention, hearing the cheering singing of the fans, the Arsenal players played even more watertightly.

At the very least, Vermaelen is not making a mistake and does not give the other party any chance.

Reus made a one-two with Piszczek on the touchline and then cut inside to the middle. Vermaelen did not hesitate, and it seemed that he stepped forward to intercept recklessly, but it had its own deep meaning.

Watching Vermaelen rush out, Royce didn't rush over to dunk the other and didn't pass the ball. Instead, he waited for the Belgian centre-back to come over and was not worried at all.

Royce had already figured out that he would get the ball closer to the opponent and then use his agility and speed to break through the opponent's defense. If there is no chance to break through, it will be consumed with him. Vermaelen's patience is the best, and there is a yellow card on the opponent's body anyway, and Reus is also fearless.

Vermaelen didn't think as much as Royce thought, and he directly slid through the trend, and the fast Royce didn't have time to react. By the time Reus wanted to pass the ball to Mkhitaryan in the middle, it was too late, and Vermaelen's foot was already close to the ball at his feet.

No surprise, the ball was poked out by Vermaelen. Royce was brought to the ground, and he held it up to signal for a foul. Of course, he knew in his heart that this defense opponent was the first to tackle the ball, which was a beautiful defense without the slightest foul, but this did not affect him from interfering with the referee's judgment.

Apparently the Dutch referee was not fooled and signaled for the game to continue.

By this time, Vermaelen had quickly gotten up from the place and rushed to the ball not far away. Because Reus was far away from the ball and had raised his hand to mislead the referee, he did not get up before Vermaelen to grab the ball.

But Shahin was not in a daze, he also started to rush to the ball from the opposite side of Vermaelen, this scene from the high-altitude camera overlooked, like a picture of two dragons playing with pearls.

Vermaelen was not far from the ball and much closer than Shaheen. So he got to the ball first, and he just got to the other side. Vermaelen flicked the ball to the side, narrowly dodged Shaheen's tackle and then slotted the ball into Mikel Arteta just a short distance down the middle.

Arteta took a look after receiving the ball, well, Mkhitaryan in the middle had not been withdrawn in time, and Shaheen went to the side to find Vermaelen to "get a base", and he could come back in time for a while. At this time of year, the opposition midfield is almost empty, and there is only one Sven Bender in the central midfield position.

Without hesitation, the Gunners side-in-command rolled the ball to the feet of Wilshere in front of the pitch and prepared to launch a counter-attack.
