This is a game that cannot be missed for Borussia Dortmund, and the same is true for Arsenal - if they can beat Borussia Dortmund away from home, they will qualify for the group with 12 points from four games. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Being able to qualify for the Champions League group stage ahead of schedule means they can put more energy into the league race.

After 10 rounds of Premier League play, Arsenal currently sit first in the league with 25 points from eight wins, one draw and one loss, as many as five points ahead of second-placed Chelsea, and it looks like the momentum is good.

Arsene Wenger is certainly hoping to regain the league title this season.

This is also the reason why he desperately pursued Zhou Yi, and then spent a lot of money to buy Ozil from Real Madrid.

And after the arrival of Mesut Ozil, Arsenal has indeed changed dramatically, and the performance has been very different from previous seasons.

However, both teams are now facing very serious injury problems.

Arsenal have as many as six players on the injury list: Diaby, Wilshere, Sanogo, Walcott, Podolski, Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Among them, Wilshere has only recently been injured, and Diaby and Chamberlain are both old sick.

Borussia Dortmund, Gundogan and Piszczek have not played much since the start of the new season.

Hummels, on the other hand, felt muscle discomfort after the previous game against Stuttgart and was unable to play in the Champions League.

Thankfully, neither team's starting line-up was affected too much. Whether it's Borussia Dortmund or Arsenal, there is no problem with the depth of the bench and can be supplemented with players of sufficient quality.

Two hours before the game, both sides announced their starting line-ups for the match.

Borussia Dortmund's side, Zhou Yi, who has been absent for more than a month, reappeared in the Champions League, while Hummels, who was absent due to injury, was replaced by Papastatopoulos, who started at centre-back alongside Subotic.

In midfield, after Zhou Yi started the game, Mkhitaryan could only go to the bench. In the midfield position, Shaheen and Sven Bender are paired in the back two, Zhou Yi is a single midfielder, Aubameyang and Reus are on the left and right, and the man at the top is Mark who has just scored a hat-trick against Stuttgart.

For Arsenal, Mertesacker, Sagna, Gibbs and Koscielny formed the starting defence, while Flamini, Mesut Ozil, Arteta, Cazorla and Ramsey were in midfield. Rosicky was still a player who played for Dortmund for many years, and later when Dortmund was in financial crisis, he was sold to Arsenal to ease the team's financial pressure.

Arsenal's starting centre-forward was Frenchman Olivier Giroud, a controversial striker. Last season, because Van Persie insisted on going to Manchester United, Arsenal had to buy him as Van Persie's successor. However, Giroud's successor to Robin van Persie last season was not as good as he could have been, scoring just 17 goals in all competitions over the course of the season, including just 11 in the league, a far cry from his performance when Montpellier was voted top scorer in Ligue 1.

But Giroud has just gotten the hang of it this season, and with only 10 league games to play, he has already scored five goals, almost half as much as he scored in the league last season.

Gradually, someone gave Giroud a nickname - "Face Slap Maniac". It means that when people laugh at Giroud's poor performance, he always has a goal to hit those people in the face.

For Borussia Dortmund, Hummels' injury, combined with Olivier Giroud's excellent form this season, has made for a very bad situation.

In the last leg between the two sides, at Arsenal's home stadium, Borussia Dortmund scored first, but it was Giroud's header that equalized Arsenal and laid the foundation for the eventual comeback.

In this game, Giroud will definitely be a headache for the Dortmund defenders.

Of course, in fact, the focus of everyone's attention is not on Giroud, but on Zhou Yi.

There was a lot of news about Zhou Yi before the game, and some media ridiculed that at the moment of the big enemy, he even took the time to fall in love, and it can be seen that he is very relaxed.

For a core, an ace player, everyone always has to hold him to a higher standard. Borussia Dortmund are now in trouble in the Champions League, so can Zhou Yi lead the team out of it?

The comparison between him and Mesut Ozil is also a highlight. When Ozil was in Real Madrid, he competed with Zhou Yi. At that time, relying on Real Madrid's resources and fame, Ozil was slightly better than Zhou Yi in terms of personal fame, but in terms of results, Zhou Yi was better than Mesut Ozil.

Both men are good playmakers and have many similar characteristics. Ozil's power-enhanced mode "Ezu" is also believed to be as long as Zhou Yiyi.

In this season's Champions League, when Zhou Yi was absent due to injury, Ozil led Arsenal to consecutive victories in the Champions League.

Now that Zhou Yi has returned, what kind of sparks can be created by the collision of the two people?

※※※

After the start of the game, Zhou Yi continued his excellent form in the league, he kept asking for the ball, taking the ball, handling the ball, and was the pivot of Dortmund's attack and defence.

However, Arsenal also took strict precautions against him, and Flamini followed Zhou Yi almost inseparably. As Arsenal's only defensive midfielder, Flamini had a heavy task to do in this game. Therefore, Wenger has no intention of handing over Zhou Yi to Flamini alone, and Arteta will go to help Flamini from time to time.

Strive to be within a 30-meter area and not give Zhou Yi any space.

Despite this, Zhou Yi still made Arsenal feel a lot of pressure.

After missing two Champions League games in a row, he seems to continue to have infinite strength, and he has to vent in this game.

In the 17th minute, he sent a pinpoint pass under Flamini, and Aubameyang came close to making a brilliant break down the flank – if Arsenal had not fouled him.

The foul gave Borussia Dortmund a free-kick on the wing.

Reus takes a free-kick and the ball flies high to the back post of the box. Ramsey wanted a header but scrambled the ball into the middle of the box in a scramble with Sven Bender. Subotic volleyed sideways into the crowd of seven metres in front of goal, and the ball went just wide of the left post.

The goal didn't go in, but it scared the Arsenal fans out of a cold sweat.

It also made the Dortmund fans in the stands excited.

"Subotic - almost!!" Marcel Leif regretted.

The two sides met in the last leg, and Borussia Dortmund lost away to Arsenal, which also led to the team's current disadvantage. If they want to change their disadvantage, they will have to beat Arsenal at home, not even a draw.

Subotic himself was also very sorry, and ran back with his head in his hands.

If this goal can be scored, it will be a good start for Dortmund.

※※※

Although Subotic's goal was not scored, Dortmund's attack did not decrease in the slightest.

Through continuous attacks, Arsenal was overwhelmed, and even the centre-forward Giroud had to retreat into the box to defend.

In the 22nd minute, Reuss crossed from the wing, and Giroud jumped up in the box to head the ball clear.

He pushed the ball out!

But that's not all!

The football that was pushed out flew outside the penalty area, and Zhou Yi quickly moved to the landing point of the football!

At this time, everyone's attention was attracted by the battle for the top in the penalty area just now, and no one noticed Zhou Yi's movement at all, and he was only discovered when he ran to the landing point and then picked up his left leg. Flamini was still in the box at this time, and it was completely too late to come up and defend.

So Zhou Yi won the football in this way!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The first was the sound of his instep hitting the ball, and the second was the sound of the ball hitting Mertesacker.

Zhou Yi drew the football, and the football also hit the door frame, but it was blocked by Mertesacker, who was flying to block the gun's eye, with his body!

The ball flew back to Zhou Yi's side again, and he stopped the ball and shot again, this time wide of the goal......

Although he didn't score, Zhou Yi shot twice in a row, which still won the cheers of the Dortmund fans in the stands. Everyone thinks that this means that Zhou Yi is in good shape in this game, and if Zhou Yi is in good shape, this game is worth looking forward to......

"Zhou Yi's volley is very beautiful!, but Mertesacker's block is too big......" Watching the slow-motion replay, He Ping said regretfully. "If it was Ozil who blocked the eye-catching, the goal would have gone in, right? ha!"

England's commentator was a little worried: "Even Arsenal's centre-forward Olivier Giroud has returned to defend in front of goal and has become a centre-back. Arsenal are now completely in a situation of being beaten passively...... If the situation doesn't change, it's only a matter of time before we concede goals......"
