On the sidelines of the court,

Head coach Zinedine Zidane has been carefully watching the ever-changing game.

Although the score was already two goals ahead, he did not feel the slightest relief.

Because he knows that Arsenal also have talented players in their squad who can turn the tide of the game.

Suddenly, seeing the opponent's No. 10 getting the ball in the middle, Zidane immediately sniffed out something was wrong.

Then he reached out and shouted on the field, trying to get his players to pay attention.

However, the ideas are rich and the reality is skinny.

I only saw No. 10 make a very deceptive dribbling action, and the frequency of the rapid flashing of his feet made Zidane look very familiar.

It's even a little glaring!

Zida's heart instantly cooled in half.

If it was at the beginning of the game, he believed that his players would have reacted and made up for the moment when they were cheated.

But now, the game has been played for more than 80 minutes, and both sides of the game have consumed a lot of physical strength and spirit.

Now the attacker only needs to make a simple feint to put the defender one step behind.

And then

Zidane saw Casemiro deceived with his own eyes.

Casemiro pounced

Then, there was an instant gap in Real Madrid's midfield position

His centre-back was facing the onslaught of the number 10 head-on!

Zidane's outstretched hand was withdrawn, and he covered his forehead instead.

It's like a prayer ceremony.

However, the reality was not as unexpected as he thought.

Haaland stopped the car just in time, although he had just turned around in a hurry and didn't have time to catch the incoming ball head-on.

But for a split second, Haaland had an idea and chose to use his heels to make the ball.

It's a way to get the ball out in the human seam!

Then, No. 10 stabbed into the gap in the penalty area like a sharp arrow, and then kicked a blast shot, and the football hit the goal at a 45-degree angle, which was very visually impactful!

It's a slap in the door!

At that moment, Zidane felt that his eyes were in a trance.

Is this really the energy that an East Asian player can burst out?

The score has become 1:2!

Arsenal pulled a goal back.

However, Zidane did not have time to blame them for their defensive mistakes, and he hurried to direct his players to stand firm.

It doesn't matter if Arsenal pull one back, they still have two away goals and the advantage is still huge.

It was just a flash in the bucket for the attacking players, who didn't have serious problems with their defence.

.

Real Madrid still have the advantage of qualifying, that's a fact that is clear to all.

"Steady, we can win when we get back home!"

Courtois slapped his gloves and shouted at his team-mates at the back.

The teammates all nodded, they all knew what was going on

Arsenal will never be allowed to play into the box like this again next time.

After scoring the goal, Equation did not choose to celebrate, rushed straight into the goal, ran out with the football in his arms.

Haaland would have been very happy, after all, their attacking combination was too fluid and imaginative.

In his opinion, he and Equation's offensive cooperation just now played Real Madrid's defenders like stakes.

However, seeing the equation running over with the football in his arms, waving to him and signaling to hurry up and equalize, Haaland suddenly recovered from the joy of the goal.

Right! They are still one goal behind at home!

Haaland's expression suddenly sank, and he quickly ran back to the midfield with the equation.

If the camera gives Haaland a close-up at this time, it is estimated that it will scare the child into tears.

This is different from the previous scarred face of the equation, Haaland's appearance is simply a fusion of domineering, vicious, and eccentric, and it is impossible to accept it.

Immediately, the teammates did not choose to score, they followed the formation and waited for Real Madrid to kick off together.

"Don't worry, be careful not to get punched through the back!" Arsene Wenger breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines and was able to pull a goal back to give them an extra layer of hope of qualifying.

However, that's all, they must not concede a third goal at this time, otherwise they will only have to play a comeback at the Bernabeu Stadium

Mikel Arteta couldn't sit still at the moment, and he was behind manager Arsene Wenger to direct the players on the pitch.

Naturally, the whole Arsenal team also knew that the premise of their equaliser was that they had to hold on to the score in front of them.

They didn't press too high, but continued to expand their attacking range up front, trying to score again on the spurt of the stars.

However, the truth is that

When there are not many attacking personnel to invest, Real Madrid can rely on the numerical advantage to limit Arsenal's attacking core more calmly.

There is never a good thing that has both worlds,

If you want to score, you have to live with the consequences of conceding a goal.

If you want to grab it with both hands, you will probably be punished.

Not good!

Suddenly, the equation came back to the court, and instantly noticed that there was a little disconnect between their midfield and backfield.

The game was in the 90th minute and it was almost stoppage time

He hurried to stop his teammates from blindly passing the ball to the frontcourt.

But it was too late, and the offensive wave led by him could not be stopped if he wanted to.

Fosse found Haaland in front of him with a long pass.

In the face of the confrontation between the two, Haaland wanted to grab the ball, but he overestimated his own strength.

The football was then snatched away by Militão, who then passed to Luka Modric in midfield.

Luka Modric launched an attack with the ball quickly, and with the cooperation of his team-mates, they quickly flattened Arsenal's formation.

Real Madrid attacked again near the end of the game. If one more goal is scored, Arsenal will basically be defeated.

The equation felt that his heart was about to beat to his throat, and he quickly chased it all the way to his own half, desperately trying to defend.

However, football is always faster than people!

Modric's position is in the middle of Arsenal's hinterland,

He got a return pass from Rodrigo again.

With a wide field of vision, he did not choose to stop the ball and kicked a light pick-up pass.

The ball found Vinicius who cut inside.

Vinicius stopped the ball with his chest, and the next second, chasing the football with his feet, he volleyed in the direction of the goal.

Soccer balls fly to the goal with great power!

The fans in the stadium couldn't help but hold their breath.

They only saw that when this must-hit goal flew on the way,

Saliba suddenly appeared in the shooting route,

The soccer ball hit him and bounced out.

This shot didn't go through!

The audience suddenly burst into a burst of inhalation. Arsenal haven't been killed yet in suspense!

However, Vinicius immediately became excited,

He excitedly slapped his palm at the referee, which was a signal that the defender had a handball!

"No, it won't"

At this moment, all the Arsenal people were stunned for a moment, thinking that it was impossible for a penalty to appear, right?

You know, it's been more than 90 minutes now!

Equation felt that his heart was about to fail, and he hurriedly ran to the referee's side, covering his mouth to defend something.

Regardless of whether Saliba has handball or not, now he has to defend himself to the referee.

The score of 1:2 is bad enough,

If there is another penalty, Arsenal will basically be eliminated

However, the referee was already communicating with the VAR referee off the pitch.

After confirming the suspected handball action, the referee trotted to the sidelines to watch the small display on which the VAR was played.

During this period, all the home fans felt nervous and scared, and they couldn't help but pray in their hearts.

Never without handball,

There is no handball

However, the referee turned around after watching the VAR video.

He ran onto the pitch and pointed to the penalty spot. Signal Saliba for a handball foul!

"Penalty! It turned out to be a penalty! ”

Zhan Jun said with surprise on his face, "Arsenal were awarded a penalty in the final stoppage time, and now the score is 1:2. If the penalty is conceded, their hopes of qualifying will be slim. Unless they can guarantee at least three goals at the Bernabeu! ”

Immediately, the whole Real Madrid team came to Arsenal's half, their expressions were happy, and they were already high-fived in celebration.

Real Madrid played really well today, and they all thought that the outcome was decided.

The Arsenal players stood outside the penalty area, everyone stood in a straight line, and they all felt very mixed in their hearts.

"It's okay, Leno will definitely be able to pounce!" Equation stiffened his head and said comfortingly to Saliba.

Saliba gritted his teeth, but still felt guilty. If he had put his hand on his back before, how could there have been a handball.

Although the equation was comforting others, he didn't actually have much hope in his heart.

The penalty is likely to be taken by Benzema. In his mind, it seems that Benzema rarely misses a penalty

"It's okay! In the second leg, I will definitely score a hat-trick at the Santiago Bernabeu! Haaland stared at Benzema's back viciously and said seriously.

"Me too!" Martinelli also gritted his teeth and said, "This is our first Champions League knockout game, how can we be eliminated like this?" ”

The equation sank.

Yes, it was their first Champions League knockout game

Soon, Benzema came to the penalty spot with the football.

Leno was already stretching in front of goal, with a calm expression on his face, and kept staring at Benzema.

Then, the whistle blew.

Benzema's feet began to move, but Leno didn't predict the direction in advance!

Seeing this, Benzema can only use the rhythm of his feet to interfere with the goalkeeper's direction judgment.

At this time, Leno suddenly made a save and pounced to the right.

The moment he touched the ball, Benzema instantly regretted it!

He slammed a shot into the bottom right corner of the goal.

Leno stretched his arms to the limit,

He felt the glove sink suddenly, and he actually saved Benzema's penalty!

"No goals, it's the way to go!"

Leno was right, he saved Benzema's penalty! The score is 1:2! ”

"At this moment, Leno seems to be possessed by a door god, and he saved Arsenal!"

The fans in the stadium instantly boiled, and countless people felt tears in their eyes.

Leno also jumped up in an instant, raised his arms and shouted, his face turned red.

He did it and ruthlessly denied Real Madrid's penalty!

In the heart of the frantically shaking Emirates Stadium, the equation only feels like a catastrophe.

He clenched his hands tightly into fists and looked up at the night sky.

The heart is surging wildly,

It's an indescribably complex taste

There is still hope for them! Haven't been killed by Real Madrid yet!

There is still some suspense to go to the Bernabeu Stadium for the second leg!

Arsenal haven't been knocked out of the competition yet!

Equation suddenly felt his eyes heat up, something he hadn't experienced even in the Europa League final.

It's just a knockout game right now

The difference is that it was their first Champions League knockout game.

Probably, that's what the first time is all about

Zhan Jun saw his excited picture, and couldn't help but be a little moved and said: "This is the first Champions League knockout game of the equation, although the result is a loss, but it is already a miracle that he can stand here!" ”

"You must know that Inter Milan spent a lot of money for two consecutive years, but failed to qualify for the Champions League group stage."

'Whatever the result of the second leg for Arsenal, he deserves all the praise! Let's cheer him on together! ”

"He's always the best!"

Director Zhang also sighed: "I can feel that there is a lot of pressure on the equation. Thankfully, he scored a goal today to keep the team's hopes of qualifying. Of course, the rest of Arsenal's players played well as well. ”

"Including Leno, Haaland, Martinelli. It was also their first Champions League knockout game. They have done enough great work."

In the stands, the Arsenal fans did not leave the stadium early.

Although they did not win against Real Madrid, the team's fighting spirit has already made everyone feel it.

The fans cheered for Arsenal in the stands, they haven't lost yet and can keep fighting!

Stoppage time was running out, and with Real Madrid's final attack failing, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

"The game is over, the score is 1:2! It was a very good match, and both sides played to their full strength. Real Madrid were indeed strong in the knockout stages, but Arsenal's performance did not disappoint the fans. ”

"The second leg was played on March 9, 2020, when Arsenal visited the Bernabeu Stadium against Real Madrid. Hopefully these two teams will contribute another good game."

The moment the whistle blew, the players on the field were shaking hands and hugging each other.

Benzema couldn't help but feel tired, this Arsenal team is indeed good.

After shaking hands with his teammates around him, he saw the nearest Arsenal No. 10, walked over, shook hands and said: "You played very well, if I remember correctly, you should be from the same place as Wu Lei?" ”

Equation nodded, "Yes, I know him." ”

Benzema thought for a moment and said: "He's also good, he almost broke our goal in the last league game, good luck to you." ”

The equation invited again: "Okay, I will have time to cupping physiotherapy together in the future." ”

Benzema nodded happily, "It's a good idea, I like this physiotherapy very much"

The reason why the equation says this is because he often sees Benzema posting cupping photos of himself on ins.

In the words of netizens, Benzema is back to the black pot again

After the race, the reporters in the mixed area finally caught the equation again for an interview.

"Hello Fang Ling, you scored a valuable goal in this game, do you have any thoughts on this game?" The reporter asked.

The equation replied directly: "It's a pity that we didn't win the game." I don't really care about scoring goals. In comparison, I would prefer the team to win. I'd like to thank Leno now for the crucial save that would have been a big problem if it hadn't been for his great play."

The reporter asked again: "Then who do you think played the worst today?" ”

The equation was almost choked, I used to ask who played the best, but today it was the other way around.

"I think it's a bit out of the way I played and I couldn't help the team win the game, so I'm sorry." As the vice-captain, he can only take the top hard.

"Then what do you think of the previous conflict with Hazard?" The reporter asked again.

Equation thought for a moment and said, "I understand his feelings, but we were in a hurry to get a goal back. So I didn't take care of his feelings, and I can only say I'm sorry. Hopefully he'll get back to the game soon. ”

On the Real Madrid side, Kroos was interviewed by reporters.

"The best player in our team is probably Benzema, he is definitely the MVP of the day, although he missed a little bit. However, it was the opposing goalkeeper who played well and we can't blame him for that. ”

'Arsenal played the best game in the number 10 and he was really good. If he moves to La Liga, it will definitely cause us huge problems. I think he's the best of East Asian players. ”

The equation just ended the interview and passed not far away.

He almost fell off when he heard Cross's last Spanish word for high-end.

It is worthy of being high-end, and he always speaks like this.

.

And at the same time,

In a football program, although the game has ended, the discussion about the Champions League knockout game has not ended.

Morgan, a celebrity who is talking to talk show host Peter, about why Arsenal lost this game at home.

Morgan, a veteran Arsenal fan, was saddened and said: "I think Arsenal have a problem with their style of play. As we all know, in the Champions League, Real Madrid has won the most Champions League trophies. They don't win with possession, on the contrary, they play quick counter-attacks a lot of the time. Their attack is always efficient and accurate, and they don't care about possession. Even with 40 per cent possession of the ball, they can qualify for the final. ”

"Don't you think Manchester City are very concerned about possession?"

'I'm really at where they're now, they're very competitive in the league but haven't had any results in the Champions League.

'So, I think Arsenal should change the way they play. They can't play like they did today, otherwise it will hurt the hearts of our fans. I will always pray for Arsenal's performance in the second leg, whether I win or lose, I will always be an Arsenal fan."

'If Arsenal can win the title, they should put up a statue for me.'

Hearing such a brazen speech made Peter on the other side feel a little sick.

It's all this time, and I haven't forgotten to hype up my identity as an Arsenal fan.

Peter said seriously: "I don't think so, I think there should be a problem with the manager Arsene Wenger, he didn't plan the squad for today. We can see that Equation can indeed pose a threat on the right flank, but that limits his play. There's no way for him to show his full strength. ”

"You can't put him in one position. He can play on the left or on the right, he can surprise us at every moment, that's his charm. ”

'I think Arsene Wenger should think about my suggestion.

.

The outside world has been discussing this game has not stopped, and many football legends and fans are analyzing the content of the game.

'Arsenal are losing the lead at home and they should think about how to limit their opponents and deploy their attacking players.

- Sky Sports

'Real Madrid have once again shown what they want to be Champions League champions, and although they finished second in their group, they can also make all opponents fearful.

——"Daily Sports"

"Real Madrid managed to contain the Orient and returned to the Bernabeu on March 9, and Zidane can consider continuing today's tactics."

- Marca

After the race, Benzema and Equation had a friendly exchange and both appreciated each other's performance. Looking forward to their next encounter. ”

- Southern Weekly

.

The day after the game, the whole Arsenal squad had a day off.

Equation didn't choose to rest at home, and whoever lost the game would be frustrated.

He felt that emo at home was not an option, so he simply drove to the training base. I'm going to use a daily training session that doesn't work hard so that I don't think about yesterday's game.

As a result, when he arrived at the training base, he found that he was not the only one who came to secretly train today.

Bukayo Saka and Ronaldo have come to the sidelines to practice their footwork.

Both of them came up from the Arsenal echelon and have known each other for a long time. When they were young, the two talented duo were known as Arsenal's twin stars.

"Are you two here so early?"

Equation changed his shoes, walked over, and said hello to the two of them.

Saka sighed and said: "I can't help it, I'm just coming back from injury, I definitely have to train more and get back into my form." ”

S Luo nodded, he thought so too.

The equation thought for a moment and asked Ronaldo: "Fox has been playing very well recently, have you felt pressure?" ”

You know, that person also robbed Ronaldo's locker room position before.

It's also that the equation has a good relationship with Ronaldo, and other teammates won't mention that Foss in front of Ronaldo.

Ronaldo said seriously: "I think it's normal. With great ability comes great responsibility, and if Foss can help us win, I'm willing to play as a substitute. ”

The equation nodded.

It can be seen that the children who grew up at Arsenal have a strong sense of belonging.

Arsenal are now able to come out of a difficult situation thanks to the quality of their academy players.

Even if you can't play and have been on loan, you will always want to return to Arsenal.

Except, of course, for a few examples.

"However, we are going to play on three fronts soon, and everyone will definitely have a chance to play."

"In a few days, at 2/24, we will play the EFL Cup final. We're trying to win the title back and make everybody happy. The equation said earnestly to Saka and Ronaldo.

"No problem, the championship will definitely belong to us!" In response, both Saka and Ronaldo nodded earnestly.

.

Yesterday, I kept coding words, and I didn't watch the game. Let two chase three, it's so exciting!!
