180 arcs across the sky
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang!! It's Buffon again! He's amazing today! He Wei said excitedly, he is also the one who grew up watching Buffon.
The ball was picked up by Khedira, who then drove forward with a big foot. At this time, Arsenal's defense has not yet settled, and the closest to the center circle are only Bellerin and Monreal.
Juventus' fronts Higuain and Bernardeschi, Dybala missed the game due to an injury in the last league game, and this news was also seen by many media as the reason for the reduction of Juve's forward strength.
However, it turns out that without Dybala's forward line, he still retains super offensive firepower.
The ball bounced into the center circle and was not affected. Higuain leaned against Monreal behind him and at the same time lightly ended the instep to distribute the ball to Bernardeschi, who was moving at high speed on the left, and behind him was Bellerin, who was chasing back.
Bernardeschi unloaded the ball with his head during a high-speed run and then slotted straight into the box. Bellerin behind him was faster than his opponent, but his physical disadvantage prevented him from breaking the ball.
Once in the box, Bernardeschi slowed his pace to prevent Bellerin from taking advantage of him while waiting for his team-mates.
Monreal ran back in to help defend, and Koscielny behind him was already in place.
At this time, "Bebe" suddenly started, and suddenly got up and shot low when Monreal in front of him had not yet reacted. Petr Cech made a brilliant save but it was probably affected by the fact that he didn't fully move the game just now, his wrist was clearly not as effective as his team-mate's ball was controlled, and the blocked ball didn't roll away, allowing Higuain to take advantage of his chance.
All the Argentine striker needed to do was stick his foot out and the goal came so easily.
There was no offside problem, and Higuain was still entangled with the returning Koscielny when Bernardeschi shot, and the subsequent follow-up reaction was clearly quicker for Higuain.
It was Gonzalo Higuain's seventh goal in the Champions League this season.
"Juventus scored a goal and no one expected that they would take advantage of this quick counter-attack to take the lead directly. A minute ago it was still their goal threatened. ”
'But that's football, you never know what's going to happen in the next moment.'
'Now that Juventus are in the lead, the question is left to Arsene Wenger, who are not good at playing against the wind this season.
Arsene Wenger was also frowning, and a game that had been played was disrupted, which was obviously his team ahead.
"Professor, do you need to change tactics?" The assistant stepped forward and asked.
Arsene Wenger thought for a moment: "No, let's kick like this first." You record the situation in the midfield, at least this will have to be adjusted in the second half. ”
Arsene Wenger's words were already evident and he is likely to make changes in midfield if the team are unable to get an away goal before half-time. Arsenal didn't have a lot of defenders with the squad this time, and with two defensive midfielders to assist them, he wanted to focus more on the attacking end. Alexandre Lacazette on the bench was their trump card that couldn't open the game.
Ten minutes later, the team still failed to produce results in the offensive end, and although there were many wonderful attacking combinations, they were never able to knock on Buffon's ten fingers. So in the twentieth minute of the game, Wenger asked Lacazette to warm up.
"Warm up well, go to the dressing room at half-time to listen to the tactical arrangements, and play in the second half." Arsene Wenger said before Alexandre Lacazette left his seat.
The French striker was actually not very happy, although he was given the opportunity to play, but last season he was still the main force that could not be beaten, and this sense of disparity made him unhappy.
"Oh? Lacazette got up and warmed up! There were not many substitutions in the first half. So is this going to be a substitution at the start of the second half? ”
I don't know if it was affected by Lacazette's warm-up on the sidelines, but Aubameyang suddenly became active during the game. Those areas that were originally in charge of Sun Xiang can now be seen wandering back and forth at any time.
"Maybe it was Lacazette's warm-up that made him feel the pressure." He Wei explained.
In the 25th minute, Aubameyang received the ball from Sun Xiang and shot angrily, and Buffon made another wonderful save to win the applause of the house.
"The 41-year-old Gianluigi Buffon made another great save, and without him, Arsenal would have been two goals ahead by now."
This is the fourth time he has tried to keep the goal in this game, and it is really like He Wei said, if it weren't for Buffon standing in front of the Juventus gate, they would have fallen behind.
Juventus' defenders had defended the ball very well, and if it weren't for Sun Xiang reaching out and poking the ball out before he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground, this chance would have been gone.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who missed a great opportunity, punched the grass in anger and it was his best chance of the game, which was the main reason why he was substituted in the second half.
"Good ball Pierre!" (Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's full name) Sun Xiang encouraged his teammates.
"Thank you Sun, great pass!" In the face of Sun Xiang's encouragement, the Gabonese striker accepted it gratefully, but he was still annoyed by the missed opportunity.
Soon, his chance to make amends came. This time the corner was taken by Mesut Ozil.
The ball was still at the back post, which was the area that Aubameyang was responsible for, and he responded to the tactics' demands to get into position.
In the face of oncoming football, this time he did it wisely.
Header swing back!
He spotted the weakness in front of the penalty area on the run, and they didn't focus more on that position. So when the ball appeared in front of him again, he resolutely pushed it to the top of the arc of the penalty area.
It was there that a scene similar to history reappeared!
Sun Xiang seemed to be doing the math as he ran to the line of the box after escaping Chiellini's defence, and Chiellini did not continue to chase after him, not believing it to be an effective place to possess the ball.
But he made one of the biggest mistakes.
He just let Sun Xiang put the most dangerous place!
Cast a peach and Li report, this time it was Aubameyang who made the ball for Sun Xiang.
Khedira reacted first, and he learned from watching Sun Xiang's game video that Sun Xiang had such a long-range shot.
Seeing that Sun Xiang was running in place and ready to kick, the German midfielder didn't have time to think about it and put aside his defensive area to block. Look at the timing and block Sun Xiang's shooting route with your body!
However, his back did not usher in close contact with the ball, and there was no sound of football brushing in his ears.
Sun Xiang is a feint! His fake shot and real dunk succeeded in deceiving Khedira!
He guessed that Khedira was back to block his shot, and it was a bet, just like the first anticipation of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's pass, and this time he was right!
Afraid of Sun Xiang's long-range shot from outside the penalty area, Khedira sent his own back directly to the opponent, which made him unable to deal with the unexpected.
Chiellini found that it was too late to block the problem again, and Sun Xiang shot directly after adjusting one step!
Compared with the burst shot in this position, Sun Xiang chose a more skillful rub shot.
The ball arced across the air and past Buffon.
The goalkeeper is the most afraid of this kind of shot, because the arc of the ball can always easily go around him.
The brief silence at the Allianz Stadium was followed by the stands contracted by Arsenal and Chinese fans, and there were deafening cheers!
