Chapter 116: Arsenal's First Shot on Goal

In the second half, the players from both sides returned to the pitch, the rain was still falling, and it didn't mean anything light, the weather forecast said that there would be light to moderate rain today. Looking at this rain www.biquge.info, it is definitely not light rain, it can only be moderate rain.

But no one cares about the weather, the field is slippery or something, and I'm afraid it's a more disadvantageous condition for Arsenal......

At the start of the second half, there were no substitutions on either side, and the personnel arrangement of the first half was still maintained.

And the course of the game was no different from the first half.

Just five minutes into the second half, Zhou Yi picked up the ball in the middle, and he was immediately caught between Arteta and Flamini. In the face of such a defense, Zhou Yi used the outside of his right foot to dial the football to Sven Bender next to him.

Because Zhou Yi alone attracted the attention of two Arsenal defenders, Sven Bender was under much less defensive pressure in comparison.

Sven Bender can even try to press forward from the ribs after getting the ball.

After drawing the attention of the defense to himself, he suddenly got up and crossed the ball into the box.

Rather than simply sending the ball in front of goal, he sent it a little back and it landed near the penalty spot, just in a place that the retreating Arsenal defenders couldn't take care of.

And at this time, Royce jumped up on the dry ground, and then just entered the big penalty area, shaking his head to attack the goal!

There was no one to defend him at all, he could make full use of it, so although it was a bit long, he threw the ball exactly at the goal.

The ball has a slight arc, but it is still within the range of the goal frame.

Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny jumped into the air and almost fingertips pulled the ball that was pushed to the left by Reus......

"Szczesny! he made a brilliant save!" the British commentator shouted.

The German commentator Marcel Leif was annoyed: "Reuss - ahhh

Borussia Dortmund won a corner.

After the corner kick was taken, it was not a goal, but was cleared.

The cleared ball fell outside the box and Shaheen rushed up to volley it over the crossbar.

※※※

A minute later, Borussia Dortmund made a comeback. Shaheen passed the football to Zhou Yi in the backfield.

Zhou Yi received the ball and pushed forward, and due to the pressure of his dribbling, Arsenal's defenders had to focus on him, which led to less defensive pressure on other Dortmund players.

Reus and Mark asked for the ball in front, but Zhou Yi did not pass the football, but chose to distribute the ball to the right, and Aubameyang ran in the space.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang received the ball and stepped into the box before shooting from the right side of the goal!

After the football was pounced on by Szczesny, it bounced towards the middle, and Reuss, who was right in the middle, stretched out his foot and added the ball into the goal!

There was a loud cheer from the stands.

Royce was going to run to celebrate, but he didn't know the bottom of his mind, because he felt that he seemed to be too far forward when he shot at goal, so he glanced back at the linesman, and sure enough, he saw the linesman raise the flag in his hand, signaling that he was offside when he shot just now......

"Royce!!" Marcel Leif was excited at first, but soon realized that something was wrong. "Ah, the referee disallowed the goal...... Offside first...... Yes, it's offside......"

Slow-motion replays showed that when Aubameyang shot, Reus and Mark were both offside, so Reus's subsequent follow-up shot was naturally considered offside and the goal was invalidated......

Although this goal is not counted, everyone can see that Dortmund's offensive is getting more and more fierce, and Arsenal is really struggling to deal with it.

“...... Arsenal's performance in this game was really ...... Disappointment...... "The British commentator was both worried and dissatisfied with the situation. "So far, they haven't even had a shot on goal! Ladies and gentlemen, can you believe it? It's been 53 minutes and the whole Arsenal team hasn't shot on goal! Has this ever happened to Arsenal before? I can't remember ...... anyway"

"I really don't know what Wenger adjusted at halftime, anyway, I don't see it now......" He Ping also felt that Arsenal's performance was not good enough. "Everything is the same as in the first half, Borussia Dortmund are pressing Arsenal and it is only a matter of time before they score again, and maybe it won't be long before ......"

※※※

He Ping's prediction of a goal is a matter of time, and maybe it won't be long.

He really got it right.

In the 62nd minute, Arsenal launched an attack that reached the 30-metre area of Dortmund.

Arteta picked up the ball in the middle and naturally drew the attention of Borussia Dortmund's defence to the middle.

However, Arteta slammed the ball diagonally to the right, where Mesut Ozil was located.

The Germany international receives the ball in the corner of the penalty area.

Borussia Dortmund's left-back Schmelzer quickly got in front of Mesut Ozil and denied him a chance to break through or cross.

The two men were so close that if Mesut Ozil were to cross with his leg, Schmelzer could either stretch out his foot and stab the ball or raise his leg to block the cross.

But such a defense could not help Ozil, who showed his genius - no running, no obvious leg movement, just a slight leg lift, and then suddenly picked up the football and passed it to the goal!

The cross was so sudden that Schmelzer, who was in front of Mesut Ozil, didn't even react to it, and he quickly turned to see Giroud jump in the air and fight Papastathopoulos for the head.

He stuck his position and squeezed the Greek centre-back behind him, but it came at the cost of having to use more force against Papastathopoulos behind him when he jumped, and he could barely get the ball on target due to the latter's interference......

But when he was topping the ball, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure in a red and white jersey in front of the goal, he couldn't see who it was, but this figure was like a lighthouse in the night, letting him know where to top the football.

So he tried his best to push the football in that direction, and as for what happened next, he couldn't do anything but leave it to God......

God did not let him down.

When the football flew to the goal, Ramsey made a clever arrow step and copied it in front of Subotic, who was watching the ball but ignored the people around him, and then grabbed in front of Subotic and rushed to the top!

He went up to football.

Less than three metres from goal, he hit the top of the ball and smashed it to the ground.

For this close rush, Weidenfeller made a save, but he was powerless - he did not touch the football, but could only watch it fly into the goal he was guarding......

"This ball...... The ball is in!!" the British commentator shouted excitedly. "Ramsey! It was Arsenal's first shot of the game, and it was Ramsey who equalled for his team! He equalled Gareth Bale and tied Wales for second place in the Champions League scoring chart with five Champions League goals! At the same time, it was his 22nd goal in an official match for Arsenal, and he has scored 11 goals in the last three months, which is already equivalent to the total number of goals scored in the previous six seasons!"

'Borussia Dortmund's defence went wrong and Subotic didn't keep his markers ......tight,' Marcel Leif criticized mercilessly. "It's terrible to get Ramsey back in front of goal......

He Ping was a little surprised: "When Dortmund had the advantage before, who would have thought that it would be Arsenal who scored the goal......? The score was levelled and the two sides were back on the same page...... No, Arsenal may be half a position ahead. In this game, the visiting Arsenal is definitely acceptable, so they can continue to play steadily after the equalizer and slowly grind with Dortmund. But Dortmund can't afford it, this game is a draw really doesn't mean much, you have to win. If they want to win, they have to press up and attack, so that the space behind them will naturally be bigger, and Arsenal can also take the opportunity to counterattack, and then they are afraid that Dortmund's goal will be noisy...... Just one goal turned the game in a subtle turn......"

Speaking of this, He Ping sighed lightly.

Before, he thought that Dortmund's situation was very good, not a small good, but a big good, a big good.

As a result, just a dozen seconds later, the situation changed.

Will the Dortmund players who have conceded the goal fall into impatience and confusion?

He Ping is not sure, but he can be sure that the Arsenal players will be inspired by the goal and will do their best to cause problems for the Dortmund players, whether it is attacking or defending next.

That's football, where a team is pressed for more than 60 minutes and the first shot of the game can score and turn the tide of the game.

This kind of thing is not made up, but it is really happening in front of his eyes......
