181 Don't forget Sun Xiang's former position
'Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang goes to the edge of the box..... Sun Xiang! Shoot, wait, feint! Shake over Khedi and pull his feet! ”
"Entered!! Sun Xiang once again showed the world his long-range shooting skills!! ”
"In 25 minutes, there were two goals! Is it going to be a goal shootout? ”
After scoring the goal, Sun Xiang broke free from his teammates who surrounded him, and then made a move that touched tens of thousands of Chinese fans.
He ran straight to the stand where the Chinese flag was hung, stretched out with the five fingers of both hands, slowly raised his right hand, and pulled his arms back at the same time, his middle finger lightly touched his temple, and stared at the five-star red flag affectionately.
"Sun Xiang, this is.... It's a salute to the flag! He dedicated this goal to his homeland! He Wei didn't understand what Sun Xiang was going to do at first, but when he raised his hand, he instantly understood that he was conveying the highest respect to his motherland.
A standard military salute, first go to Sun Xiang in the international friendly match also made the same action, but now things are wrong, and he is no longer a member of the national team. All he can do is send blessings and greetings to his homeland in a foreign country.

Lacazette was also called back by Arsene Wenger after Sun Xiang's goal, and the 1:1 score made the professor dismiss the idea of making substitutions as soon as he came up in the second half.
Lacazette sat down on the bench angrily and threw the bottle of water he had taken a sip on the ground. It is clear that the French were upset.
It didn't take long for the first half to end in a tight game with both sides scoring a goal each.
Bringing such a scoreline back to the dressing room, Arsene Wenger was satisfied.
'It was a good first half and you didn't look flustered after conceding a goal, which is what we want to see.
"There was still a half in the second half, in fact, there should be three more halves. It was a two-legged game and we got a valuable away goal. ”
"But don't bring that kind of thinking to the court, you can score as much as you can, and prepare for the next games."
Arsene Wenger's instruction lasted ten minutes, leaving five minutes for the players to digest on their own, as he walked out of the dressing room with his assistants.
"Do we want a draw, Professor?"
On the way back to the pitch, the assistant took out his own small notebook, which recorded the team's mistakes and shortcomings in the first half, as well as the problems in the midfield.
Wenger looked carefully at the fine text on it, and it seemed that the problem was not small.
"You're right, the team has a problem in midfield, Mesut is a bit isolated, Wilshere doesn't do much defensively, putting too much pressure at the back.....
Combined with the notes, the assistant analyzed Wenger.
Wenger nodded slightly, through these materials, he probably already understood what to do.
He returned the note to his assistant and said, "Let Lacazette go back and change his clothes, and let him change Wilshere!" ”
The assistant was stunned, could it be that he had already said what he said?
There was a problem in the midfield so a striker? What does the professor think?
There were so many questions that he couldn't help but ask: "Professor, why do you want to replace the midfielder with a striker?" There were some problems in the midfield, so so..."
"Ouch....." Wenger waved his hand, indicating that the assistant did not understand his thoughts.
"Changing a midfielder doesn't mean that the midfielder will be reduced."
"That.... Oh! I understand! The assistant suddenly realized.
Arsene Wenger smiled: "We can't forget the past because of his current results...."

As the second half drew to a close, fans saw the team's centre-forward Alexandre Lacazette standing on the sidelines.
Replacing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang? No, Sun Xiang is even more impossible, both of them performed well in the front court.
Immediately, the electronic board held up by the fourth official answered for them.
On the 11th, replace the 10th.
Wilshere?!
Fans are a little confused, replacing a midfielder with a striker, isn't Wenger limited to one away goal?
"Three strikers? Arsene Wenger's substitution is debatable, and if we want to maintain the quality of the midfield, someone will have to drop back. ”
"Could it be Sun Xiang?? Does he want Sun Xiang to play back in midfield? ”
He Wei's words were right, what Lacazette said to Sun Xiang after he came on the field, and then, people saw Sun Xiang standing next to Xhaka.
As soon as the whistle blew for the game, the fans saw the final formation position as the formation unfolded.
Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang partnered up front at the same time, with Sun Xiang dropping back. Cazorla, who had previously been in the midfield position, came to Wilshere's position, and Sun Xiang played in the midfield.
"Sun Xiang is back in the back of the waist! This feeling is both familiar and unfamiliar, and the last time Sun Xiang played in the back was in Wolfsburg. He Wei said.
Not only for the fans and He Wei, but even Sun Xiang himself was a little uncomfortable.
The feeling of being close to the goal made him feel great, and he even forgot his position at the back, and it will take time to get used to it, but it shouldn't take long.
Having said that, this is also the first collaboration between Lacazette and Aubameyang, and it seems that it will take time to prove the level of tacit understanding.

"Arsenal's front-line cooperation! Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang passes to Lacazette! Shoot,,Get out of hand! Is there a reshoot? was destroyed. He Wei's commentary is like Wenger's mood at the moment, from high to low.
Arsene Wenger flicked his hand angrily, and if there was someone at two o'clock, the follow-up shot would have gone in. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette teamed up to tear through Juventus' defence, and it was as if they were in a state of disillusionment at that moment, with defensive problems.
However, Arsenal didn't take it, and there was no follow-up shot after the first shot.
Wenger couldn't help but look at Sun Xiang, who was holding his head in disappointment near the midfield, and wondered if he had made a mistake.
If Sun Xiang is still on the front line, will he appear on the second point of the ball?
Thinking of this, Wenger shook his head, for him, these were superfluous thoughts, useless. He needs to figure out how to make it easier for his team in the second leg.
As the saying goes, "time waits for no one". Just when Wenger was still thinking about how to deploy his troops, Juventus's counter-attack came again.
Arsenal controlled the ball in front, and the ball came to the feet of Sun Xiang, who was observing the movements of his teammates.
Khedira was a good player in this game, and this time he targeted Sun Xiang with the ball.
Taking advantage of Sun Xiang's inattention, he stretched out a foot to jam his position, and then squeezed in front of Sun Xiang with the strength of his body. Sun Xiang's strength still couldn't compete with it, and because he wasn't prepared, he was suddenly squeezed to the ground.
After falling, Sun Xiang immediately got up from the ground, and he knew that there was no result in going to the referee to protest at this moment, and this was not a foul. All he needs to do is get the ball back again.
But by the time he turned, Khedira had already passed the ball.
He found Higuain in front of him, who took the ball and turned in one go, with no other Arsenal players around him.
"The Venerable Master goes up! Defend! Arsene Wenger shouted.
Koscielny ran up and left the space behind him for Mustafi to make up for it.
Higuain faced Koscielny in a one-on-one situation.
The first one shook to the left, Koscielny didn't eat it, and the second one didn't shake either, as if he was sure Higuain wouldn't break through to the left.
Bernardeschi cut in from behind him and Higuain slid the ball through. It would be a waste of time to continue here, and many of Arsenal's players have already returned to defend.
Higuain immediately ran towards the middle of the pitch as soon as he passed the ball and pulled away Koscielny.
The French centre-back didn't know if Higuain had anyone to defend when he returned to the box, so he could only focus part of his energy in the box.
Bernardeschi was a little more relaxed, and the distracted Koscielny could not provide a tough defensive up.
He came to the baseline and swept a low cross into goal.
Everyone thought he was going to cross to Higuain, but they didn't expect him to pounce straight in front of goal.
And the line of the ball makes it difficult for both the goalkeeper and the defender, which is too easy to own.
Mandzukic suddenly appeared in front of goal from the middle of the pitch and stretched out a kick in the crowd. He didn't have to worry about that.
The ball made a 90-degree turn in front of goal and swooped into the back of the net before Cech could react.
Juventus fans are like the net behind Cech, vibrating like a wave.
Their team took the score over again!
Once again, they saw a chance to win!
