Chapter 588: Blitzkrieg Offensive and Defensive Battle

When the game started, the commentator realized that he was wrong. The atmosphere was harmonious on both sides, and that was only because the game had not officially started yet.

Li Zihan won the right to pick the side when guessing the coin, and the tee off was naturally handed over to Juventus.

Tevez handed the ball back to Vidal in the centre circle, but he and Spanish centre-forward Llorente headed towards Arsenal's backfield.

Vidal handed the football to Marchisio behind him, and then followed himself behind Tevez and Llorente. Marchisio handed the ball back to Andrea Pirlo behind him, and Juventus' attacking formation was already stretched.

Pirlo took the ball very calmly in the face of Ozil's interference, Ozil's lower foot was easily dodged by him, and then without waiting for his "disciple" Pogba to come up to help the defense, he handed the football to the wing.

Asamosa has a wide range of positions, playing as a central midfielder, a midfielder, a wing-back or a full-back. This has something to do with his ability to defend and attack, and Juventus have a lot of such talents in the team, and Asamoah is just one of them.

Arsenal's right full-back Chambers pressed up for the first time, Asamoah didn't pay attention to him, pretending to make a pass to Marchisio, who came to pick up the ball, but he suddenly pulled the football back and easily dunked Chambers.

'Chambers still hasn't settled into Arsenal and he had a good performance at Southampton last season. But the games that came to Arsenal this season have not played well, it may be that his people have come to the Emirates Stadium, but the 'remote control board' is still in Southampton and has not been sent," Zhan Jun teased.

After shaking off Chambers, Asamoah made another pass, but this time it wasn't a feint, but a real pass.

His passing found the heart of the playmaker, the brains of the team, Andrea Pirlo. Andrea Pirlo took the ball with his back and played a wall-kick with Marchisio to get past his defender Russ Bender.

This scene is very familiar to Pogba, as he has not worked so closely with these midfielders in previous seasons at Juventus. So he saw through the two men's intentions and stabbed diagonally to break the ball.

Marchisio kept an eye on the ball, and when passing the ball did not pass the ball as usual, but brought a little height.

Pogba stabbed the sole diagonally but did not tackle the football, which deflected off his leg.

Vidal had continued to cut forward, but saw the ball change direction and fly towards him. He paused slightly, and then instead of stopping the ball, he volleyed straight into the air.

The football is back in front of Pirlo again, and the heart of the Italian brain is once again receiving the football.

Andrea Pirlo found the Arsenal hole in an instant after receiving the ball, where the full-backs had not returned and the centre-backs had not gone to fill in the position.

He made a straight stop-through and the ball went from the right side of Arsenal to the back of the Arsenal defence. The experienced Argentine striker Carlos Tevez seized the opportunity to kick off and pick up the ball behind Hevedes.

Then slid into the box, where Merdessat and Hevedes were stunned, stretching out their legs to block Tevez's path of shooting.

It's just that they were a step slower and Tevez hit the goal first.

A powerful and violent shot in order not to give Arsenal time to prepare.

At this time, Arsenal's No. 2 goalkeeper Ospina showed his level of representation for Colombia in the World Cup, almost a physical reflex, and a horizontal pounce on the angle of the football shot.

Straighten your limbs in the air and expand your defense to the maximum.

In the end, in front of the goal line, he blocked the football in the air!!

"Well done!! Ospina !! ”

The ball was not caught by Ospina and bounced into the box. But the follow-up Merdesart directly kicked the ball to the front court with a big foot and half turned, very reluctantly.

"Medsat cleared!! Ospina saved beautifully, and with this save he was fully qualified to stand in this position instead of Szczesny!! ”

Before the commentators had time to elaborate on Juventus' attack, Arsenal's counterattack on the other side began!

The ball cleared by Merdesart came to a position in the centre circle that was slightly deflected towards the Arsenal half, and the centre-forward Harry Kane, who stayed here, saw the ball.

He immediately took the best spot and was ready to scramble for the header.

Leonardo Bonucci was the first to stand up behind him, ready to defend.

Football is getting closer and closer, and the highs and lows are getting lower and lower.

When Harry Kane was ready, he made the jump, pressing his body down to maximise his take-off height.

Bonucci, who was close to him, knew Harry Kane's intentions immediately, so he jumped first, and then inadvertently pressed Harry Kane with his elbow. First of all, he grabbed the opportunity to jump, and he didn't know how the opponent's center bounced and headed the ball, but he knew that the opponent was not as tall as him.

Secondly, the opponent of the card master in this way, the opponent can't jump much high when he jumps, and it is easy to be suppressed by himself, and finally he is naturally the one who grabs the football in the air. And if the opponent jumps as hard as he can, and forcibly pushes himself away, then if he can't keep his balance in the air, he will easily fall, and the opponent will easily foul.

Bonucci was secretly proud, it can be said that the time and place are all in his own possession.

But he never imagined that Harry Kane had no intention of competing with him. Bonucci jumped, his chest was already higher than Harry Kane, and it was absolutely overwhelming. At this time, Bonucci took the time to watch a football in the air, but he felt that the ball was a bit high and he couldn't top it.

Suddenly, Bonucci had a bad feeling in his heart!

Harry Kane's head was already up to Bonucci's waist, which was a deliberate attempt to keep his height down and give Bonucci the illusion that he was ready to fight for the header.

At this time, however, he suddenly turned around and walked past the jumping Bonucci.

"Bonucci! Rise to the top!! ”

Sure enough, the ball flew over Bonucci's head and went behind him, just as Harry Kane reached out to unload the ball.

Leonardo Bonucci is the sweeper of Juventus' three central defenders, that is, the clear-ball central defender, and he is more at the front, while Barzagli and Chiellini are slightly behind him.

Harry Kane didn't wait for Chiellini to come up, but on his way up, he passed the football.

It was a deliberately high ball that flew over the head of Chiellini, a long, coconut-like man with both height and header dominance.

Chiellini knew that he couldn't hit the ball, so he didn't jump anymore, and turned around and ran back.

Li Zihan suddenly started on the side at this time, shook off the Swiss wing expert Lisan Steiner who guarded him, and then cut over to receive the football.

"Arsenal's counterattack!! Harry Kane did a great job, not only dodging Bonucci's defence, but also delivering a pass that pierced the Juventus defence!! ”

"Li Zihan !!"

After receiving the football, Li Zihan ran towards the Juventus penalty area with the ball, which is a familiar scene for Li Zihan fans.

Buffon is naturally no stranger to this scene, he knows Li Zihan's archery skills and ability to seize opportunities. So he understood that if he waited for Li Zihan to come up, he would undoubtedly sit and wait for death.

So he simply abandoned the door and attacked.

"Buffon - Abandon the door and attack !!"

Li Zihan faced Buffon's attack, not only did not slow down, but also accelerated!

He went against his old captain and met about two yards from the top of the penalty area.

Li Zihan still did not slow down, but divided the football to his right foot, but just when the two were in close contact, Li Zihan suddenly made a sharp stop, and then his right shoulder sank to break through from Buffon's left, taking advantage of his speed.

Naturally, Buffon, who was out of the penalty area, could not save the football with his hands, he could only stretch out his feet to poke the ball like an ordinary central defender.

Li Zihan quickly pulled the football back from the right side and came to the left foot.

"Oxtail!! Dribble past the goalkeeper? ”

Buffon seemed to be prepared, his center of gravity was very steady, and the outstretched foot immediately retracted, and then used the other foot to block this side.

Li Zihan is good at passing the goalkeeper one-on-one, which is expected for Buffon, so when Li Zihan made a feint, he also pretended to be fooled.

And this time, to Buffon's surprise, Li Zihan had no intention of breaking through from this side, and he immediately turned the football to the right again.

Oops!! Buffon exclaimed in his heart.

Buffon, who had shifted his attention and focus to the left, had no way to block Li Zihan from the right again, and Li Zihan just walked the football away from his right and then wiped Buffon himself.

"Got past the goalkeeper!!" Zhan Jun's voice is eight tones higher, although Buffon is old, he is still a world-class goalkeeper.

Li Zihan, who passed the goalkeeper, used his speed to shake Buffon away.

"Quasi-single-knife !!"

The reason why it is accurate is because in front of Li Zihan's right, there is the last central defender Barzagli rushing over in a diagonal stab.

Li Zihan's speed is not something Barzagli can keep up with, but before that, Buffon's attacking defense bought Barzagli some time, so he planned to slash through the defense Li Zihan.

The Italian central defender has prepared for the worst, and in the end, even if he fouls, Li Zihan's attack will be interrupted, otherwise it will be troublesome when the opponent arrives in the penalty area.

Li Zihan saw Barzagli in his spare eyes, and he knew that the two would meet around the penalty spot if it went on like this, although he was not afraid of Barzagli in the penalty area. But after all, there were too many uncertainties at that time, which was not in his interest for Li Zihan, who was pursuing stability, not to mention that he did not want to create penalties on the Juventus backline.

Therefore, Li Zihan faced the empty door at the top of the arc of the big forbidden area and slammed his feet directly.

"Lee!! It's in the restricted area!! Kick--" The tone of Hellhouse, the famous commentator of Sky Sports, was full of doubts and surprise, he thought that Li Zihan would take the ball directly in the face of the empty goal.

"Li Zihan single-handedly smashed Huanglong!! Li Zihan immediately entered the forbidden area, Li Zihan!! Li Zihan!! Shot - !! Zhan Jun's voice was an octave higher again!
