Chapter 420: The muzzle of the gun hits the cosmic benevolence! (b)
"Arsenal's starting center forward is naturally Li Zihan, the young talent of our country who only joined the Gunners this season, has scored 22 horrific goals for Arsenal in the league, and in the Champions League there are five goals in the group stage alone!! Therefore, Han Niang, who is only twenty years old, has become the absolute core of Arsenal! β
"Okay, I won't say anything more, let's enjoy this strong showdown together!"
This season's Arsenal is definitely a strong team after introducing Li Zihan and Mesut Ozil to strengthen the squad.
Mikel Arteta, the team's vice-captain, is also the current on-field captain. Holding the Arsenal flag and the opposing captain Lahm, the commemorative team flag was exchanged, and then after the necessary ceremony, the game officially began!
Arsenal captain Mikel Arteta won when he guessed the coin, opting for a side pick and handing the kick-off to the opposition.
Mandzukic played the ball back to Muller, who continued to knock it back. After three inverted feet, Bayern Munich has already laid out the formation! β
Although Li Zihan and Mandzukic are in the same position as centers, their specific roles and identities are completely different. Mandzukic is a more traditional center forward in Bayern's system, mainly relying on the opponent's defense, and then acting as a wall to cooperate with teammates. Li Zihan is the kind of all-round striker who can not only dribble the ball to the danger area by himself, but also receive passes from teammates in the penalty area to complete the fatal blow. So in this game, Li Zihan is an important player for Arsenal, and Mandzukic is a role player! β
Schweinsteiger in the midfield position took the ball, and Ozil did not go up to press it. "Piggy" saw the moment and handed the ball to Tony Cross, who had withdrawn to pick it up, before cutting forward himself.
The professor was obviously a little dissatisfied with Ozil's appearance, standing on the sidelines and shouting something at Ozil, and then kept gesticulating!
Arsene Wenger had a good understanding of the game before the game with Bayern, and through a large number of video analysis, he found a way to break Bayern's attacking system with a relatively high chance of success.
That is the crazy full-court pressing, which makes the opponent accelerate the rhythm and frequency of passing. In this way, their passing is not much thinking, and they have to let Bayern's passing without thinking, and pass the ball when they see a press. In this way, it can increase the probability of mistakes on the other side, and if Arsenal can seize one of these mistakes, then with Li Zihan's ability to grasp the opportunity, it is likely to be a goal!
So the professor was a little dissatisfied with Ozil's inactive behavior!
Li Zihan came over and patted Ozil on the shoulder, he understood the other party. Knowing that defending is not Ozil's favorite job, but there is no way around it.
Ozil shrugged helplessly and turned back to Schweinsteiger.
Wenger's tactics are not to rely on Ozil's thin body to defend the opponent's midfield core, he just hopes that Ozil's pressing and defense can form an effective interference with Schweinsteiger, so that the opponent can not comfortably organize and pass. This is important!
And what attentive fans think, how this looks like a method that the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League often use against Arsenal.
Thomas Muller dodged Ramsey's press and instead of sticking to the ball, he split it up and down the wing. He's not the kind of player who takes the ball and finds chances on his own, and he's the kind of player who can make a difference in the box.
As for dribbling, there are people who are more suitable than him.
Scarface Ribery receives the ball and then makes a move forward, making a feint to make a hard move. But after chasing the ball, he suddenly passed the ball to the middle of the half-high ball.
Mandzukic leaned on Medsat and then chested the ball off and turned his back to the attacking direction to wall Schweinsteiger. The latter took the ball and kicked it out, stuffed it straight into the box.
Thomas Muller burst into the box and shot at goal!
Szczesny has always been focused in such an important match. Seeing Schweinsteiger's straight stopper, he decisively abandoned the door and attacked. And when Thomas MΓΌller shot at goal, the ball just left the main foot of the opponent's shot, and was saved by the Polish goalkeeper who was in place.
"Well done! Szczesny!! β
Muller jumped to his feet in the box, apparently annoyed that he had wasted a chance. He wished that Szczesny had made a mistake at this time, and then he would rush up and kick again!
Apparently, Szczesny did not make such a low-level mistake today.
Szczesny, who stood up, yelled at the defense line in front of him, whether it was third captain Merdessatt or French central defender Koscielny, and even captain Arteta was "fierce" by him.
It was clear that Szczesny was unhappy with letting the opposition deliver a threatening ball so easily. He thinks his team-mates are not yet in the game, especially with Altade and Ramsey protecting themselves in front of the game and Thomas Muller, a threat to the opposition.
Szczesny didn't choose to serve the goal kick quickly, but after venting his inner complaints, he waited for the opposing Mandzukic and Thomas Muller to withdraw from their own penalty area!
Mikel Arteta jumps up and presses Muller to take Szczesny's kick-off off! The ball fell to the feet of nearby Ramsey, who did not hesitate to side the ball to Cazorla, and then plugged in himself to follow up!
Cazorla used his speed and agility on the flanks to dribble the ball.
At this time, the bald head Guardiola on the sidelines shouted Ribery's name to the field like Wenger did before, and kept gesticulating.
Guardiola is expressing his dissatisfaction to Ribery, and the Spanish coach believes that at the first moment of losing possession of the ball, Ribery should quickly return to defend and counter-attack, rather than aimlessly staying in front. Hey, today's game is interesting, the two coaches are actually expressing dissatisfaction with the offensive players' defense, does this mean anything specifically? We don't know, but from the actions of the two, it seems that both of them know this very well! β
Cazorla didn't pass the ball out, but cut inside after dribbling on the flank!
Pressing David Alaba's interference with his hands, he was very flexible at his feet and brought the ball to the edge of the penalty area, and his excellent technique made it impossible for Alaba to find the opportunity to stab the ball with his feet!
Cazorla kept the ball at his feet, his hands on Alaba and kept looking up at the box.
It's all like looking for an open opportunity to cut inside and shoot in, which Cazorla has done, and 60 per cent of his goals this season have come like that.
And at the same time, this is also the famous work of Robben, the sideline general in the opposing camp!
Abala knows it well, so he doesn't dare to be careless.
Cazorla felt that it was almost time, and quickly accelerated and continued to walk sideways at the edge of the penalty area!
Alaba continued to keep up and Dante moved his position at this point, and Cazorla's shot angled.
Then they didn't notice that Cazorla had run from the centre of the box to the right without the ball.
And the ball, I don't know when it was stopped in the middle by Cazorla.
By the time Alaba and Dante reacted, it was already too late!
Mesut Ozil cleverly used his ankle to pick the ball into the penalty area, and at this time, Li Zihan, who had been hiding like an assassin, sensed the opportunity.
Quickly rushed in from the ribs of the penalty area, and then didn't have time to stop the ball, and stretched out his foot to volley.
Boateng was startled, and his hand pulled up and down.
Li Zihan rushed into the penalty area quickly, and then stretched out his right foot to a position that was almost above his head to receive the ball. It was already difficult to master the balance of such a difficult action, and when he was pulled by Boateng like this, he completely lost his balance and was directly pulled down!
Neuer jumped quickly at this time and took the ball off first!
"Penalty !!!"
The Arsenal fans at home are excited!
Li Zihan fell to the ground and waited for a long time without hearing the whistle, and stretched out his hands at the referee, he also thought it was a penalty!
But the referee ignored it and just made a quick gesture to him
"Shh
Neuer doesn't go back and wait for the referee's whistle, and after taking the ball, he doesn't care whether the referee will blow the whistle or not.
Li Zihan, who discovered this scene, did not continue to fall to the ground, but quickly got up and ran towards the backyard quickly!
Regarding Li Zihan falling in the opponent's penalty area, the referee did not say. The referee didn't think it was a foul, and even suspected that Li Zihan faked a fall. But we all know that Li Zihan never relied on fake falls to get penalties. Let's take a look at slow motion, sure enough!! Boateng has an obvious pulling action in his hand, and Li Zihan's receiving posture is more difficult, and the balance is difficult to master, so there is no way to be pulled by the opponent. The referee, on the other hand, did not see Boateng's puller, thinking that he had fallen when he received the ball."
The screen switched from replay to live broadcast, but at this time, the foul and penalty were still discussed in the first few seconds, and Bayern Munich's attack in the next few seconds had actually advanced to the core area of Arsenal's backfield.
"The transition between attack and defense between the two sides is too fast, just now in the Bayern Munich penalty area, in the blink of an eye to the front of the Arsenal penalty area!!"
Robben took advantage of his speed, took the ball and took a line on the side and advanced quickly. Chamberlain was right next to him, and in terms of speed, the two sides were about the same.
Chamberlain, who was in the same company, was bent on squeezing the other man out of the sideline, but Robben's experience was so sophisticated. Chamberlain, a little rookie, has no way at all in front of Robben's old fritters, not to mention squeezing the other party out of the sideline, and almost letting the other party throw himself away!
"Bayern's quick counter-attack, Robben with the ball, will this be Bayern Munich's chance?"
