Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger, Lin Yunjia Jilu
As soon as the game began, there was a new movement in the dog system.
"Main quest 3: Win the Champions League for the first time"
"Mission description: To lead Arsenal to the first UEFA Champions League title in the club's history."
"Difficulty: 6 stars."
"Quest Reward: Unique Trait*1."
"......" Arsenal has not been able to do it in 136 years, and you asked me to do it with a newcomer who has just joined for more than a month?
Sure enough, it's very systematic.
Any championship is a product of strength + luck, but compared to the long league, the chance in the cup is stronger, and the probability of an upset is greater, but no matter how big it is, there is a limit, Porto in 04 is undoubtedly the lower limit, Liverpool in 05, Inter Milan in 10 and Chelsea in 12 can only be regarded as medium coolness at best.
Nana's difficulty in winning the title this year is actually similar to that of Chelsea last year.
A group of old, weak, sick and disabled Blues can turn the tables against the wind when everyone is not optimistic, why can't they create a miracle with a group of gunners who are in their prime?
Every young person fantasizes that he can grow up with the team, win the League Cup in the first year, the FA Cup in the second year, the Premier League in the third year, and the Champions League in the fourth year, rise step by step, and get the highest honor when he is the strongest, but the reality is not to fight monsters and upgrades, and the strength of the team is not necessarily stronger year by year.
When the round of 16 was first released, the La Liga duo were in the top two odds to win the championship offered by major spinach companies, followed by Bayern and Dort, and then Manchester United, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal ranked even lower than Shakhtar, ranking ninth.
Now that Manchester United have been eliminated, Barcelona are two goals behind Milan in the first leg, and Bayern were beaten by Arsenal in the first leg, and the odds for each team to win the title have changed again.
Real Madrid topped Barcelona to finish first, Borussia Dortmund beat Bayern to third, and Arsenal ran from ninth to fifth.
If they can get past Bayern this time, they will undoubtedly be one of the favourites to win the title, and the Champions League will no longer be a dream.
Everyone knows that this level is not easy.
Bayern Munich has two of the most fierce wings in world football today, the 29-year-old Robben and the 30-year-old Ribery need to be fast, technical and experienced, and it is obvious that for this game, these two fierce players have been recuperating for a long time, and now they are waiting for work, and they will beat Arsenal in danger as soon as they start.
Don't look at the Arsenal gang shouting out the attack in the dressing room, but when they really played, they were very honest physically, and they were determined to play defensive counter-attacks from the first second.
Luo Ben was really unable to stop it, so it depends on whether he can prevent his in-cut ...... Ay? Unexpectedly go to the bottom line, fake fax, diagonally in front of the door! β
Robben pretended to cut inside, deceived Jenkinson and then suddenly changed to the bottom line, and then made a feint to deceive Koscielny, dribbling along the baseline and crossing the ball to the goalkeeper near the post.
Everyone in the audience stood up.
Kroos cut in from behind and was about to smash home when Mertesacker suddenly made a slip tackle in front of him and narrowly stabbed the ball away.
Arteta, who returned to the penalty area, cleared the siege for the first time, and Arsenal escaped with death.
ββ¦β¦ It's a pity that it's just one centimeter short! It's so thrilling, Arsenal can't do anything with Robben. β
It was only the first wave of attacks, and Bayern had already made Nana's penalty area a chicken and dog jump, which undoubtedly gave hope to the fans of the Bundesliga hegemon.
Although the football was kicked out of the penalty area, the crisis at Arsenal was not resolved. Martinez had already picked up the ball in midfield and Bayern immediately started a second attack.
This time it was the Ram-Ribery corridor.
Mikel Arteta was still in his own box, and it was a bit of a stretch for Gibbs to stop the duo's combined attack, with Ribery almost singing the ball all the way through the other side of the box.
Robben, who originally wanted to retreat, did not leave at this time, plus Akuan and Mandzukic, the number of people in the Arsenal penalty area on both sides was unexpectedly comparable.
Several of Arsenal's attacking midfielders rushed back to the box, but Ribery had already skimmed past Mertesacker and volleyed from a tight angle on the left!
Ribery played with confidence, but it wasn't a good chance in the eyes of others, because Fabianski had blocked almost all angles, and in reality Fabianski didn't even have to make a save, the ball had already hit his arm on its own.
As soon as Mandzukic wanted to make a follow-up shot, Fabianski did not hesitate to pounce on the ball under him.
"Franck Ribery dribbled into the box and hit the ball himself, the ball was missed by the goalkeeper, and Bayern Munich almost got off to a dream start."
"Now, look at Arsenal's attacking ......"
The moment Fabianski got the ball, the Arsenal players pressed forward.
Theo Walcott, Lin Yun and Cazorla fired three arrows at the same time, flying straight into the Bayern penalty area from the left, center and right respectively.
Fabianski tossed the ball to Ramsey, who immediately unleashed the Premier League's ancestral long ball to the loaf.
The football crossed overhead, and Lin Yun immediately accelerated, and the anti-offside position was successful.
Boateng, who was originally on a par with Lin Yun, knew that this kid was still holding his strength just now, so he quickly grabbed his forearm and dragged it back.
Lin Yun suddenly exerted force, and instantly broke free from Boateng's pull, but after less than a second of delay, Ram had already slid from a diagonal shovel on the side and kicked the ball in the direction of the goal.
Neuer attacked quickly, Lin Yun did not give up, and was still running wildly to chase the football.
"Lin and Neuer! Who can touch the ball first? β
"Neuer touched the football first and got a big kick...... Ay? Feints? β
Neuer pretended to clear the siege with a big foot, Lin Yun immediately turned around without hesitation, ready to block the ball with his body, but he didn't expect Neuer to suddenly push the ball to the side, wanting to trick him.
The whole world knows that this dog has a striker's heart, Lin Yun was once locked in a small black room by Wenger and studied the game video of Bayern for more than ten days, how could he not guard against his hand, bending over is a sweeping leg.
Before Neuer could rejoice, the next second his ass came into close contact with the turf.
Ram had already caught up from behind, and Lin Yun didn't bother to get up, he sat directly on the ground and kicked the football violently.
The football rolled towards the empty goal, and Lahm scrambled after him, but before the fans on both sides could cheer for the football and Rahm before the whistle blew.
"Beep!"
He Wei in the CCTV studio immediately hugged Lin Yun upset, "The referee seems to have blown Lin Yun for a foul?" Did he kick someone? I guess I got the ball first, right? β
Kahn, who is working as a commentator on German TV 2, was heartbroken, "Neuer's old problem has been committed again!" If he doesn't like to use his hands, he can apply to go to the front instead of using everyone's efforts to satisfy his bad taste! This is a crime! β
Lineker, who was in charge of commentating the game at Sky Sports, was naturally on Lin Yun's side, "Okay, congratulations to the referee, he took over the game...... See, Lahm has exhausted all his strength, but still can't catch up with the ball, if it weren't for this miscalculation, the score should be 0-1 now...... Looking at the replay, is there any doubt about this? Lin didn't touch Neuer at all......"
In fact, even after watching the replay, this goal is still controversial, Lineker's words are just butt to decide the head, after all, after Manchester United was eliminated, Arsenal is the only seedling in the Premier League in the Champions League this year, if even they are sent away, the Premier League team will miss the quarterfinals for the first time in 17 years.
The referee actually didn't see it clearly, and he was forced to blow a few blind blows due to the pressure of the home field, so he looked at Lin Yun's almost murderous eyes a little weakly, but his tone still had to be tougher, "The shovel foul, the goal is invalid!" β
"Promise me, you must go and get a pair of glasses after this game," Lin Yun sneered, "If you don't have any money, I can give it to you, although it's definitely not as much as they give, but it should be enough for you to buy a better pair." β
The referee's expression froze, and he reached for his pocket, but before he could pull it out, Walcott held him down.
"Hey, he's still a kid......"
Rosicky also ran over, pulled Lin Yun away, and said, "Okay, calm down!" β
"If I don't calm down, I'll kick him off the head...... it! Are you still acting? The latter sentence is, of course, to Neuer.
Lin Yun's kick was the first to kick the person or the ball first, and the two naturally knew that Neuer was not simply playing for the referee, but he had just messed up, and he could only use this method to cover up the embarrassment.
Arsene Wenger on the sidelines has long lost his former gentleness, and is incarnating as Ferguson to run wildly towards the fourth official, if it weren't for Boulder's quick eye to drag him away, I'm afraid a topaz card would have arrived.
The game was interrupted for two minutes before it resumed.
Bayern, who were almost stolen, were a little more honest and slowed down their attack, but soon took the initiative again and began to put pressure on Arsenal's goal.
In the 12th minute, Robben made a trademark cut inside and hit the goalkeeper to send the ball to the stands.
In the 15th minute, Robery connected for the first time, and the two joined forces to feed the pie to Mandzukic's mouth, but the latter's shot was narrowly blocked by the in-form Fabianski.
In the 22nd minute, Alaba stepped forward with an assist from the wing and completed a high-quality wide cross after receiving Kroos's diagonal cross. Martinez's header went just over the crossbar......
Bayern Munich are thriving on their home turf, while Arsenal have been beaten back and the goal is in jeopardy.
It wasn't until the 25th minute that the Gunners made their second threat of the game.
Rosicky narrowly won a heads-up with Robben this time and stabbed the ball to Cazorla.
Cazorla kicked the ball to find Walcott, and the little tiger stepped directly into the gas tank with a foot and rode along the side.
Lin Yun hurriedly rushed forward to the door to prepare to answer.
Boateng and Van Bitten immediately joined forces and really entangled him like two vines.
Walcott's cross came, Lin Yun hung two defenders and jumped obviously, and in the end, only the scalp barely hit the football, and Neuer reached out to easily confiscate the ball.
Bayern immediately launched a counterattack.
Arjen Robben almost 100 per cent replicated Walcott's attacking process, bringing the ball to the ribs of the box on the right flank and then sending the ball in front of goal with a clever curling cross.
Mandzukicic didn't waste another chance this time, leaping high and heading the ball into the Arsenal goal.
βGOALοΌοΌοΌοΌ Robben who does not cut inside is just as terrifying! Bayern Munich opened the scoring in the 27th minute of the game, and the aggregate score between the two sides was still tied! If the score is maintained until the end of the game, then Bayern Munich will be the eventual winner! β
"The aggregate score is 4-4, Arsenal's defence still can't withstand Bayern's bombardment, and if they don't make changes, this season's Champions League road may really stop here."
The Bayern players began to celebrate wildly, while Arsene Wenger called his players to the sidelines.
"Make the most of speed! Robben is fast, Ribery is fast, but we have Theo, we have Lin, and we can play lightning like a ball of attack! All run, don't give them time to react! β
It's easy to say, but it's hard to do.
To fight for speed, Walcott is of course worthy of anyone, but it is a bit deliberately embarrassing for him to be as man-and-ball as Robben and Ribery.
Lin Yun is also very uncomfortable here.
Boateng himself is a top defender in terms of both technique and physicality, plus Lahm, Van Bitten, Xavi. Martinez helped from time to time, but Lin Yun didn't make any waves.
What made Wenger not know whether to be happy or worried was that Bayern's side did not start to swing the bus because of the upper hand, and continued to bombard the Arsenal goal in all kinds of wild, but fortunately, the defenders did not make any mistakes and held on until the end of the first half.
Players from both sides entered the dressing room with very different moods.
Arsene Wenger adjusted his mood and said in a calming voice as much as possible: "Alright, boys, the time is up, the remaining forty-five minutes will decide the fate of our entire season, whether to be sent home by the Germans like a coward and continue to spend the whole season without achieving anything, or to launch a counterattack like a warrior, it's up to you to dec......ide."
Arsene Wenger did not have much hope of victory, sending Giroud on the pitch as a double striker.
Originally, the field was suppressed, and now the thickness of the midfield is weakened, and the risk component is quite large, but if you don't strengthen the offensive at this time, it is no different from being killed by the neck, and everyone can't find any thorns in his adjustment.
Giroud was so moved that he almost cried.
After 5,000 years, it's finally my turn to play!
"With the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially began."
'Arsene Wenger brought on Olivier Giroud for Cazorla, and Arsenal switched to 4-4-2.
"Bayern kicked off, still pushing on the wing, Ribery and Lahm came to the edge of the penalty area after a one-two, still trying to bring in, Koscielny broke the ball with a rather risky tackle, Arsenal's counter-attack ......"
Arsenal's attacking style in this game is quite British, and it is always a long pass over the top to find Lin Yun, and it was not until this counterattack that everyone saw the familiar gunner.
A quick pass from the back, getting rid of the forward's pressing, and then passing the ball to the midfield, Ramsey and Arteta collided against the wall and then fired a low cross to Rosicky.
Rosicky didn't stick to the ball and went straight to Walcott.
Walcoat pretended to attack quickly on the wing, shook past Alaba and suddenly cut to the middle, and saw that Lin Yun's position was a straight kick.
Lin Yun leaned on Boateng to get stuck in position, and after the football came to his feet, he did not stop the ball and turn or overshoot as the Bayern defender predicted, but unexpectedly leaked the ball, and then hit his heel again.
The ball slipped between Boateng's feet and rolled towards goal.
Manuel Neuer was unequivocal when it came to attacking and was the first to abandon the ball when he saw it, but Giroud didn't know where he suddenly came out of nowhere, with the arch of his foot gently pushing against the ball.
The ball slid past Neuer's feet and rolled into the back of the net under the desperate gaze of the Bayern crowd......
