Chapter 112: Unexpected Circumstances

Di Maria was a little tired, but he still chose to keep playing.

Because the Champions League is a competition at the highest level, no one wants to lose in this arena.

The rest of the players, including the Grand Paris, were not discouraged and they quickly regained their strength.

The game had come to the 73rd minute, and with the football resuming, the two sides still did not reduce the level of confrontation.

Everyone is giving their best for the game.

Arsenal were the first to make a substitution, with Alexandre Lacazette coming on and Haaland coming on.

Zhan Jun saw this scene and was a little surprised and said: "Coach Wenger's substitution is a bit fast, I think it should be Lacazette who is in a bit bad form in today's game, so he let the young striker Haaland come on as a substitute." ”

'Erling Haaland is Arsenal's new signing this season, he has a lot of quality, he has the physicality, he has the speed and he shoots accurately. Although he has only played a few games for Arsenal, many people have already noticed him. ”

With the physical Haaland on the pitch, Arsenal's intensity up front instantly increased.

After Arsenal snatched the ball, Equation found Haaland with a long pass.

In the face of a long ball, Haaland first fended off Kimpembe behind him, and then stopped the ball with his chest and pressed the ball firmly in front of him.

Haaland then knocked the ball to Saka, who came from the wing, to make a wall link-up.

However, as soon as he turned around, Kimpembe was still stalking and almost scratched his jersey.

Haaland was speechless for a moment, is this a football game? Or is it wrestling?

Haaland immediately gave up running, simply stood in place, and spread his hands. Let Kimpemby grab it comfortably.

"Beep-"

The referee decisively blew for a foul on Grand Paris.

Arsenal were awarded a set-piece in front, but it was a bit far from the penalty area and Xhaka did not pose a threat to the Parisian goal.

Although there was no goal on this occasion, it has been proven that Haaland's presence can pose a threat to the Parisian defence.

As a result, the defense of Grand Paris did not dare to press too hard, because Haaland was kept in the half on this side, and Martinelli would also intervene at any time, so Grand Paris must pay more attention.

This time, Haaland directly involved the defense of Grand Paris, making the midfield of Grand Paris less supported by some teammates.

Arsenal's defensive pressure was indirectly less.

Because the opposing fullbacks don't dare to come up to the side at will,

As a result, Mbappe and Di Maria on the two flanks will have less support, and the corresponding breakthrough changes will be reduced.

As a result, Grand Paris seemed to be attacking around it, but it turned out to be thunder and rain.

Arsenal's backline is very solid, and the midfielders have been desperate, grabbing and grabbing, and making up for the defense, so that the big Paris rarely have the opportunity to threaten the goal.

By the eighty-sixth minute of the game,

Paris attacked Arsenal's penalty area three times in a row, and finally struggled to break through the goalkeeper Leno.

This time it was due to a passing error from Arsenal,

Verratti cut off the pass with a run and then decisively crossed from the right flank, close to midfield.

Mbappe suddenly pulled back, leaped high from the back of the box, pressed Gabriel and headed the ball into the back of the net.

The score is 2:2!

However, Zhan Jun was surprised, "This ball, isn't it offside?" Just now the big Paris attack failed, the ball was cut off by Arsenal, and then Verratti counter-attacked to cut off Arsenal's pass again, and Mbappe has not yet withdrawn from the box.

Sure enough, the Arsenal defenders all raised their hands to signal for offside.

At the same time, the camera showed the linesman, and he saw that the linesman had already raised the small flag for offside.

The live broadcast began to replay the moment before the goal, only to see that Mbappe was indeed alone in the small box with the goalkeeper, and he retreated to the Arsenal back line after Verratti's sudden cross.

The referee did not hesitate and ruled the goal offside.

But the home fans didn't care so much, and immediately booed the sky to protest against the black whistle.

Although the goal was blown away,

But Mbappe is not frustrated,

A strong fighting spirit once again surged out of my heart.

He ran quickly and beckoned his teammates to actively grab it. There was no dwelling on the goal that was blown away.

Fortunately, the whole Arsenal team did not slacken, and in the face of the opponent's overall grabbing, they were still able to maintain a smooth pass.

As soon as Equation returned to his own half to receive the ball, he suddenly received an impact on his back, as if he had been hit by a truck and fell to the ground.

The teammates next to him, Xhaka, Thomas, and Martinelli immediately reached out to complain, and it was too obvious to hit people behind their backs.

And the referee's penalty was in place, and the whistle sounded at the same time.

The equation looked up and saw that it was Mbappe's foul.

It seems that Mu always refused to admit defeat and did not stay in the front court for a walk all the time, and now he is fighting for the midfield.

However, Mbappe did not reach out to pull him up, obviously not admitting defeat in his heart.

The equation didn't mind, and he stood up.

Young and vigorous is like this, if it weren't for this little bit of heart, maybe Mr. Mu would only be alone, and now he is still nested in the small bedroom covered with Mr. Luo's posters.

"Hiss"

Suddenly, when the equation stood up, he gasped.

I feel that the muscles on the back of my right thigh are a little wrong.

He tried to take a few steps, but he didn't know if it was unresponsive, and it seemed like a delusion.

Zhan Jun saw the live broadcast, noticed this detail, and said in surprise: "Could it be that the equation is injured?" Don't let that happen. The Asian qualifiers are just around the corner in late September, and Equation's absence due to injury is a major loss. ”

However, he persevered for a few more minutes, and finally couldn't bear the pain in his thigh, sat on the ground helplessly, and made a substitution gesture to the sidelines.

Knowing that I am indeed injured, I am afraid that if I don't end up, I am afraid that there will be a big problem.

Coach Arsene Wenger frowned and hurriedly asked Ronaldo on the bench to prepare for the game.

"Don't make a big mistake, it's damning." The manager prayed in his heart.

At the same time, the team doctor hurriedly came to the court with a small suitcase, and after communicating with the equation for a while, he helped the other party off the court.

"It should be a little muscle injury, and the specific situation will have to go to the hospital." The team doctor explained to the manager.

Wenger nodded solemnly, patted the equation on the shoulder, and advised: "Rest well, don't have psychological pressure." ”

Equation nodded, thinking that the muscle injury should not be a big problem, and he would only miss a few games at most

After a brief cold treatment, he didn't leave the field immediately, wanting to see with his own eyes whether the team could win the matchup.

However, he is now the heart of the team, and when he sat on the bench, his teammates inevitably booed and warmed.

The equation was still a little confusing, and I felt like I had really become a sick person

And on the field,

The whole team of Grand Paris is still very hard. If you don't fight until the last second, you can never know if there will be a miracle in the game.

In the 89th minute of the game, Neymar shook off the defense, cut inside with the ball, and was brought down by Thomas for a foul, and Grand Paris got a free kick opportunity.

Mbappe takes a free-kick,

Although he has not scored a single free-kick so far, Neymar has not said anything.

Thirty yards from goal, in the right direction, Mbappe stepped forward and slammed his long legs.

The ball flew over the wall in an instant, but it was in the right direction and was blocked by the goalkeeper with both hands.

Neymar grabbed the first spot of the ball again and forced a volley, but it was kicked to the defender.

There was an uproar at the whole time, and Grand Paris still did not equalize.

However, even when the free kick was blocked, Grand Paris did not give up on attacking.

Even with only four minutes remaining, they moved the backline to midfield and were still attacking.

Even until the last second, they have to show their opponents that the Parc des Princes has the power to strike fear into everyone's seat.

Grand Paris have yet to lose the game, because after this game, they will still be able to go to the Emirates Stadium and get revenge there.

And Arsenal's whole team is united, and they are also desperately trying to keep the victory of this game.

The final four minutes suddenly became very long, and both teams did everything they could to win the game.

There is no clean place on everyone's jersey.

The people on the field were out of breath, and the people off the field were also particularly worried.

Both teams had a couple of chances to score, with Haaland narrowly closing the net to a far-corner, only to be saved by goalkeeper Keylor Navas.

Erling Haaland missed the first Champions League goal of his career.

Subsequently, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the score was 1:2! Arsenal won an important victory.

They are firmly top of Group E of the Champions League.

The moment the whistle blew, the whole Arsenal team felt a sense of relief, and then couldn't help but shake hands and hug their nearest team-mates in celebration.

And after seeing the end of the game, the equation finally got up and left the field, limping away with the support of the team doctor. He's still busy going to the hospital.

The whole team of Grand Paris could only feel speechless, or squatting on the ground, or with their hands on their hips.

Mbappe looked around, shook his head and walked off the pitch. After passing through the interview mixing area, Mbappe did not stop and walked straight in the direction of the dressing room.

In the end, it was Neymar who came out for an interview on the side of Paris, and he also thought of coming on as a substitute to face the camera.

"It's a shame we didn't win the game, but everyone worked hard today. Hopefully next time we go to the Emirates Stadium and we can win against Arsenal.' ”

"About Fang? He's a really good midfielder. To be honest, I had only heard of his name before the game and I didn't expect him to be so technically good. Hopefully his injury won't matter too much. I wish him the Kopa Prize, he deserves it. ”

"Who will win the Ballon d'Or? I don't know, hopefully the professional media judges will be able to pick the best candidates. ”

On the other hand, manager Arsene Wenger once again emphasized the rudeness of the game in his post-match press conference.

"Although the referee's decision was fine, we could still see a lot of fouls, and if it wasn't for the football on the pitch, I would have thought they were playing a game of wrestling. I want people to be kind to the technical players. For example, a lot of people would criticize Neymar for faking a fall, but I think he's right. Only by doing so will he make everyone aware of the aggressiveness of fouls, which can easily shorten the career of a technical player, which is an unfair way of playing. ”

"Equation injury? I don't know yet, and now I can only pray that he will have no major problems. ”

Also after the game, the outside media took pictures of the equation going to the hospital.

Arsenal fans outside are very concerned about his injury and have left messages under Arsenal's official account. So much so that it was supposed to win the strong team Grand Paris, but it turned out to be irrelevant.

After all, it is Arsenal's midfield core that is injured, and if the injury is serious, it will affect the team's subsequent results.

Soon, the results of the examination were found in the hospital, and Arsenal's official account also released a specific injury report in a timely manner.

"Equation hamstring injury, expected to miss a month of play."

The duration of this absence is not short, but it is not long.

As a result, the next day's Champions League news had more content about Arsenal's core injury.

'Luckily for the unfortunate side, the core of Arsenal is only out for a month, so hopefully they can survive this period.'

- The Times

"One goal and one move, the performance of the equation conquered the Parc des Princes, and he is already a sought-after midfield star in the whole of Europe."

- "Team Newspaper"

'Arsenal need to get rid of their dependence on the East as soon as possible, and after he went off injured, it was clear that Arsenal's midfield was out of control.

- Daily Mail

"The 70 million release fee for teams other than the Premier League is a huge temptation for the big clubs in the major leagues, and they will compete to bring in the Orientals next season."

- The Daily Telegraph

"If Equation wins the Kopa Award, he will make new history and become an example for all Asian players to follow. Hopefully he will be back on the pitch soon. ”

——"Yangcheng Evening News"

"Tottenham Hotspur got another draw in the Champions League, and compared to Fang's hot spot, Sun's performance has been a bit mediocre."

- Sky Sports

Early the next morning, the entire Arsenal team flew back to London.

Equation was then admitted to one of London's best hospitals, in an upscale ward.

Because he didn't have a servant at home, it was inconvenient to walk, so he could just ask the nurse to help.

During this period, naturally many people came to see him, and many people naturally couldn't remember clearly, and it felt as if they hadn't rested for a few minutes.

There are teammates from the club, head coaches and assistant coaches, international students with complex identities looking for trust, and of course, Yang Ling and Lin Qiaoxin.

Including Helena, too, but she said that Mrs. Owei had been unable to leave because of something, and could not come.

Finally, in the evening, Huang Taixi, who had been staying in the room, had time to talk to him about some work matters.

"It's a coincidence that you're injured, the Asian qualifiers will start in a few days, and the head of the men's football team has already registered you, so it seems that you can't go back." Huang Taixi said with a smile.

Equation sighed, "There's no way around it, I originally wanted to go back and play, but it's a pity."

Huang Taixi disagreed, "Don't think about it if you can't go back, according to the news I got, you have a good chance of winning this year's Kopa Award, and then you will go to the award ceremony and enjoy this honor." ”

The equation looked like he was telling the truth, and replied, "Don't worry now, what if there is an accident then."
