Chapter 582: An Incomprehensible Goal
The first half of the game was a draw, but for Arsenal the first half was very unfair to them as they had more than three chances that were almost enough to score, only for De Gea to be like a superman at the end.
Manchester United fans will be thankful for David De Gea's long play in this half
In the second half, the two sides changed sides, and both sides tacitly agreed and did not make substitution adjustments. But after the game restarted, it was Arsenal who took the initiative.
Van Persie didn't get a chance under the combined watch of Merdessat and Hwedes, so he was a little anxious, and he even had some physical skirmishes with Hwedes.
When the game came to the 60th minute of regular time, Van Gaal couldn't help himself and made the first substitution.
"Manchester United are starting to make substitutions! Tiger Falcao stands on the sidelines waiting to play, who will the Dutch coach replace? Should Colombian centre-forward and Robin van Persie play a two-centre-forward set-up or a center-forward substitution? ”
Van Persie stood on the field and saw Falcao on the sidelines, and his heart suddenly changed, and he quickly turned his face and pretended that he didn't see Falcao on the sidelines.
At this time, the referee came up to sue him and was about to leave the field, and Van Persie reluctantly walked to the sidelines.
"Oh, sure enough, it's a counterpoint substitution! Van Persie was replaced by Falcao. ”
Such a substitution won the applause of the Arsenal fans
Shortly after the United substitutions began, Arsenal made a substitution at the 65th minute of full-time.
Li Zihan came on the field and replaced Ozil.
This kind of substitution has puzzled many people, no one has a problem replacing Li Zihan, but how did Ozil replace him?
"Arsene Wenger is a substitution, he sent a sniper rifle on the field, but the bullet was withdrawn," Zhan Jun described.
But only the Arsenal players and members of the coaching staff such as Arsene Wenger know that this is a last resort. Because Mesut Ozil was already unwell when he played for the German team, and this game was actually a difficult game for him, so Wenger replaced him at this time to rest to avoid injury.
The time for Li Zihan to play in the Asian Cup is getting closer and closer, and the team needs Ozil and Sanchez to rise up in the month that Li Zihan left, so they must not have serious injuries.
After Li Zihan came on the field, he went to the side according to Wenger's arrangement, and he premeditated to attack the side of Brazilian full-back Rafael's defense.
The game lasted ten minutes, and this side was almost broken, and Li Zihan also shot twice at the goal, both within the range of the goal frame, but today it was destined to be De Gea!
As an experienced world-class coach, Van Gaal certainly saw Li Zihan's intentions, so he immediately arranged for substitutes to start warming up!
And Li Zihan is a player who will seize the opportunity, he doesn't know that Manchester United has been prepared, but he knows that his intentions have been seen by others, and Blind Jr. has pulled to this side to help Rafael defend at this time.
In the seventy-third minute of the game, Cazorla received a hint from Li Zihan. He didn't split the ball in the middle, but suddenly dribbled forward. Such a move caught Manchester United a little off guard, after all, Arsenal's previous attacks were handed over to Li Zihan and Sanchez on both sides after this position.
Blind Jr. hesitated, but still did not return to the position of the midfielder, and he continued to follow up with Li Zihan.
After encountering Carrick's defense, Cazorla did not pass the opponent with the ball by himself, but chose to pass the football back, and then ran around Carrick towards the penalty area.
Carrick didn't dare to be careless, and immediately followed back to the defense. At this time, Wilshere, who was inserted in the back, also followed, and the middle formed an impact line for Cazorla, Wilshere and Harry Kane.
At this time, Pogba also received a pass from Cazorla, and he did not rush to the front to dribble the ball, but adjusted the ball slightly.
Blind Jr. frowned, and the opponent's sudden forward in the middle made his own side a little nervous, and by this time Juan Mata and Wayne Rooney, the two attacking players, had already joined the defense.
In the end, when Blind saw Pogba approaching the penalty area with the ball, he temporarily left Li Zihan and ran towards the middle to help defend.
And Pogba, after seeing Blind Jr. leave Li Zihan, immediately picked up the ball and passed the football to the side. Then come to the side a little bit on your own, ready to respond.
Little Blind knew that he had been fooled, and immediately turned around and ran towards the side, but he couldn't catch up with him after coming and going like this.
In the face of his friend Pogba's high ball, Li Zihan knows very well what to do. He was about to take the ball down, and Rafael followed suit. It's just that Raphael's thin stature doesn't interfere with Li Zihan's shape, unless it's replaced by Rojo or Blind Jr. and Carrick or something.
Raphael is only 1.72 meters, while Li Zihan is 1.8 meters, whether it is height, physical strength or even bounce power, Li Zihan is better than the other party.
In the end, there was no suspense, Li Zihan pressed the opponent to grab the ball.
Li Zihan pushed the football in front of him, and immediately after landing on the ground, he threw off Rafael and ran forward, he also grabbed the football before Rafael, and then took a step and continued to move forward.
At this time, Blind Jr. also followed, and formed a persecution of Li Zihan with Raphael.
At this time, the two thought of going together, that is, they couldn't get off by the way, because Li Zihan couldn't keep it up, so he used this gap to get rid of himself directly. Just stuck on the inside line, not letting the other party in, anyway, the threat on the outside line is very limited.
The three of them ran side by side towards the bottom line, and Blind Jr. and Rafael were all on standby, if Li Zihan wanted to cut to the inside line to the middle, he would immediately get his feet, anyway, the ball and the man had to stay at that time.
And if he is forced into a corner of the bottom line, then it is possible for the opponent to take the football out of the bottom line, which is Manchester United's goal kick.
"It's almost to the bottom line, how to deal with Pogba Li Zihan has come over and is ready to respond, but this position is stuck by Blind Jr.'s passing route."
The closer Li Zihan got to the baseline, the better the mood of Raphael and Blind Jr.
Just when Li Zihan's football was only a few centimeters away from the bottom line, and even the football was almost stepping on the bottom line, Blind Jr. and Rafael directly forced over and let the ball go out of bounds.
But Li Zihan suddenly tilted his body a little bit at this time, and then kicked the football out.
The ball wasn't Pogba, who was going to pull the strings, but a high ball straight into the middle of the box.
De Gea frowned, his position was at the near post, which prevented Li Zihan from using his speed to break away from his team-mate and then get to the ribs of the box to shoot.
The Spanish goalkeeper saw the high ball, and also saw Harry Kane and others in the middle, and his first reaction was that this ball came to Harry Kane. He has studied in previous games, and it was in this position that Li Zihan used to pass the ball to the middle and then Harry Kane to the top. Got in.
So De Gea immediately called on his team-mates to keep an eye on the likes of Harry Kane, Wilshere and Cazorla in the middle.
The ball flew over the middle of the box and Harry Kane jumped for the top of the pitch, Chris Smalling followed suit, and Cazorla and Wilshere slammed into the net from the ground.
"Li Zihan's cross from the wing!! It's so beautiful, it's almost a dead end, but it's all passed out by him!! ”
Everyone thought it was a cross from the wing, but when Harry Kane took off and didn't get on top of the ball, it flew over him.
"After!!"
De Gea immediately turned his head and saw that Sanchez had cut from the other side.
It's so cunning, it turns out that it's a sound that strikes the west!! De Gea cursed in his heart.
Immediately he was ready to defend Sanchez.
But at this time, a miracle happened, the football that was supposed to fly towards Sanchez instead of Harry Kane was supposed to fly towards Sanchez, but suddenly made a turn in the air, drew an arc, and then flew towards the top right corner of the far corner of the goal.
The sudden change left United a little overwhelmed, and David De Gea was too late to start jumping.
The football flew into the United goal before he could stretch out his long arm.
At the moment of the goal, the Arsenal fans who came to Old Trafford to watch the game raised their arms and shouted!!
Li Zihan !! It's Li Zihan again!! When Arsenal needed heroes to step up, it was always Li Zihan who took the lead!! ”
"Scored!! Lee's goal, in the 74th minute of the game, gave Arsenal the lead, and it was perhaps the goal that opened the door to victory!! ”
After Li Zihan scored, he stood in this corner flag area and waved his fists vigorously. He's scored a lot of goals and he's scored a lot of goals in this legendary stadium. But every goal still makes his blood boil!
"The league came to 11 rounds, and Li Zihan played 10 games, but scored 16 goals and 9 assists!! At the top of the league scorers list are Diego Costa's nine goals, Sergio Aguero's seven, and at the top of the assist list, Di Maria's seven assists are also behind Li Zihan, which is a really terrifying number!! ”
"In the face of Li Zihan, who is in such a hot state, De Gea has no way to do it even if he is working hard in the end, who told him to encounter a monster!" Mortenson said.
"I don't know what De Gea and Li Zihan will do in a team, this is almost the combination of the strongest shield and the sharpest spear in the Premier League!" Alan Hansen said.
