Chapter 566: It's still a familiar taste, and it's still the original recipe
Chapter 566: Still Familiar Taste, Still Original Recipe (Part I)
The first half of the game was over, but Wenger's expression was very ugly.
"I really can't make up this plot."
'Chelsea were already 3-0 up in the first half, starting with striker Diego Costa's opener and then extending the game with Branislav Ivanovic's surprise header. Finally, with only one minute of stoppage time left in the first half, Belgian core Eden Hazard fired a long-range shot from 33 yards from the goal, which completely chilled the Arsenal heart.
Arsene Wenger kept a straight face, did not speak, and returned to the dressing room with the Arsenal players.
"This Arsenal team is really incredible, they can play 3-0 Manchester City has no temper at all, and they can also 3-0 Serie A giants Juventus to be submissive. But I didn't expect to be beaten 3-0 by Chelsea in just 15 minutes in the first half! ”
"It looks like this game has gone into garbage time early!"
Fifteen minutes into the break, all the commentators and guests were talking about the first half of the game, and everyone thought that this time Arsenal was doomed. Although the current Arsenal is not the Arsenal of the past, but the Chelsea of the past is not the same Chelsea of the past!
An idea popped into Herhouse's mind, and that seemed to be how the game between Arsenal and Chelsea last season played out.
Then Herhouse shook off the idea, which was somewhat unrealistic!
A quarter of an hour later, the two sides changed sides and fought again!
The players on both sides have just come out of the tunnel and are still preparing on the field. At this time, he was still preparing for activities on the court, and Steve Boulder, the assistant coach on the sidelines, was holding a tactical board and saying something to Li Zihan, and Li Zihan kept gesturing with his hands in response.
"Arsenal look like they're going to make adjustments, but also, if Arsenal don't make adjustments, they're going to be even more ugly!"
Both sides are ready, just wait for the referee's whistle to blow.
And Arsenal took advantage of this time to immediately make substitutions, the fourth official held an LED electronic sign, No. 3, No. 18, No. 16, No. 12!
"Arsenal began to make substitutions, Spain international Monreal came on to replace England Academy full-back Gibbs, who had a poor appearance in the first half, and the first two goals conceded were inseparable from Gibbs!"
Then Arsenal replaced his captain, who is also the core scorer Lee! Aaron Ramsey who removed the midfield, the last striker and the next midfielder, Arsenal and prepared in advance! ”
When Li Zihan came on the pitch, the few Arsenal fans who came to Stamford Bridge let out a huge cheer!
Li Zihan has unparalleled popularity among Arsenal fans, and whenever Arsenal is in trouble, Li Zihan will definitely be born!
Therefore, Gunners fans have a blind sense of confidence and admiration for Li Zihan, and if this confidence is placed on other players, especially such young players, they may have been crushed by the pressure long ago.
But Li Zihan was not only not crushed, but also went upstream!
"Arsenal need heroes now! It's certainly not the pie-delivering Spider-Man, nor is it the Superman who wears it over his panties! It's Li Zihan! Zhan Jun said.
After Li Zihan and Monreal came on the court, the game officially began.
In the first half, it was Arsenal who kicked off first, so in the second half it was Chelsea who kicked off.
Diego Costa looked at Li Zihan in front of him with some pride: What does it matter if you play now, we can beat you 3-0 in the half, can you still beat us 4-0 in the half?
Oscar dials the ball to Diego Costa and runs forward.
Li Zihan rushed directly towards Diego Costa, and Diego Costa smiled coldly in his heart, thinking that this was Li Zihan's revenge for "humiliating" him in the first half. So he was not in a hurry, he planned to wait for Li Zihan to rush up before passing the football out, or directly passing the other party to embarrass him.
But Diego Costa underestimated Li Zihan's speed too much, and Diego Costa's mind only turned around, and Li Zihan had already flown and slid over.
Diego Costa was taken aback, but immediately calmed down and pulled the ball to the right to avoid Lee's tackle.
But Li Zihan seemed to know that he was going to pull the ball towards this side, and then stretched out his foot and hooked it directly.
Li Zihan's right ankle hooked the football, and then pulled the ball out with a single pull, out of Diego Costa's control.
Ill-prepared, Diego Costa lost his balance and collapsed.
Li Zihan quickly stood up from the ground and saw Fabregas coming up. Then without hesitation, he took turns and passed the football behind him with his heel, and then ran forward by himself.
It quickly went around Cesc Fabregas's side, and Pogba, who was plugged in, came to Li Zihan's passing point.
Willian, Eden Hazard, Diego Costa and even Cesc Fabregas, who had just been bypassed by Li Zihan, looked at the referee and thought it was a foul by Arsenal, who brought down Diego Costa when he was scrambling for the ball.
But referee Marriner didn't say anything, but ran straight towards Chelsea's backfield, because by this time Arsenal's attack had already begun!
Marriner himself saw very clearly that Li Zihan's broken ball touched the football, to be precise, Li Zihan's broken ball had already touched the football from the beginning, and then hooked the football out, Diego Costa fell by himself, there was no foul at all, but a very beautiful steal.
Pogba did not possess the ball, but kicked the ball out and passed the ball to a high ball to find Li Zihan in front.
Li Zihan and Pogba were very good friends during the Juventus period, and after coming to Arsenal, the cooperation between the two has become even more tacit. So often all it takes is one look, and even the two of them don't need to think of going together! - Good friends, nothing more than this!
Li Zihan looked up and saw the high ball passed by Pogba, and he also knew where he landed.
There was a huge boo from the Chelsea fans in the stadium, which was obviously going to the referee Marriner, and the referee's "inaction" made the Chelsea fans very unhappy!!
And at this time, the Chelsea players finally reacted, and Arsenal's attack has really come!!
Nemanja Matic stepped in directly from behind, trying to intercept Li Zihan.
After Li Zihan ran to the position, he turned his back to the direction of the attack, looked into the air and waited for the football to fall. Matic took advantage of the situation and directly stuck to it, and the chest of the Serbian back was tightly pressed against Li Zihan's back.
Seeing that the height of the football was almost high, Li Zihan pressed down and waited for it.
Nemanja Matic knew that the opposition was gathering momentum, waiting for the ball to jump and fight for the top at the right time.
Thinking of this, the Serbian midfielder couldn't help but smile contemptuously, although Li Zihan is 1.8 meters tall, he is definitely at a high altitude among the flexible and fast forwards. But compared to his height of 1.94 meters Nemanja Matic, it is not enough to see, not to mention how the two bounce, this height alone is the opponent's shortcoming.
Nemanja Matic didn't know what gave Li Zihan the confidence that the opponent could compete with him for the header. And his weight is eighty-two kilograms, although he is not strong in this height, but he is much stronger than Li Zihan, who is only seventy kilograms.
If you think about it carefully, this goalscorer who dominated England and even the whole Europa last season is just like that, just a twenty-year-old hairy boy!
Li Zihan? That's it!
Feeling that Li Zihan was about to jump, Matic should definitely jump in advance, after all, his physical advantage is there, and taking the lead is to get the first opportunity!
Then just when Matic was about to jump, Li Zihan suddenly turned around, and then bypassed Matic directly.
Nemanja Matic was instantly wet with cold sweat on his back, and was hailed as one of the best midfielders in the entire Premier League last season, and Matic quickly understood what the other side was thinking.
Li Zihan is not tired of cheating, his previous actions were a scam, in order to attract himself to be fooled. Then it makes sense to explain how the other party wants to compete with himself for the header!
Cheat!! You big liar!! Matic scolded Li Zihan in his heart.
Matic, who came to his senses, wanted to reach out to pull Li Zihan, and at this time, even if he used a foul, he had to stop the other party.
It's just that Matic still underestimated Li Zihan, and this time it was his speed that was underestimated. Li Zihan had already rushed past Nemanja Matic with his smiling speed in football, and the Serbian midfielder pulled an empty space.
After Li Zihan rushed past Matic, the football flew right over Matic's head and came behind Matic.
Li Zihan seized the opportunity to stretch his foot to unload the football, and John Terry deserved to be a veteran. Experienced he has not been far from the position of the defender Nemanja Matic, so as soon as Nemanja Matic was passed by Li Zihan, Terry had already rushed up and was ready to destroy the ball.
Terry's feet stretched relatively high, and this action fell to the ground to the ball in the air, or to Li Zihan, perhaps only he and God know.
Regarding Terry's movements, Li Zihan still collapsed in front of Taishan and did not change his face. When the football fell, Li Zihan's outstretched foot met the football in mid-air, and then his right foot used a slight force - not to remove the football, but to pick it with a little skill.
The ball lifted back into the air right between Terry and him, and flew over Terry's head behind him.
"Li-Zihan !!!!" Mortenson, Alan Hansen, Hurhouse, Zhan Jun and Huang Jianxiang shouted together!
Even though they play for different broadcasters, in different studios, in front of different fans, they feel the same!
