Chapter 132: The Ice Prince's Only Characteristic?

It was a draw, but Bayern felt like they had won, and Guardiola said in his post-match interview that Bayern were the more likely side to qualify.

'It was a good result to get 2-2 at home of the defending champions, we controlled the game better in the second half, but unfortunately the sudden outburst of individual players from the opposition turned a win into a draw, we now have two valuable away goals, the next leg will be played at the Allianz Stadium, we have a better chance of progressing to the quarter-finals.'

Bayern captain Lahm was more cautious.

'Arsenal are not an easy opponent to play against, and we felt that at the beginning of the game. I'm happy with the result because we were in control most of the time.

The hardest part was of course how to limit Lin and for me I think we succeeded because we only allowed him to score two goals......

Now we are in a good position to qualify, but we will learn from last year, we have to be very focused from the whole time and we will be ready for the second leg. ”

Arsene Wenger admits Arsenal didn't play well today, but he is still happy with his players.

"We made huge mistakes, but we deserve a lot of credit for our tenacity. The referee's red card killed the game, killed all the positives, and we were only 10 men left to face and it was very problematic physically. The whole team showed their quality today and we should have won it......

Penalty kick? I'm more inclined to take penalties with players who are technically and mentally good at their feet, Arteta is a player like that, he has a lot of experience in taking penalties, but that's what football is all about, it's never 100 per cent.

Manuel Neuer saved Mikel Arteta's penalty but was then smashed by Lin twice in unbelievable fashion, so can you say that Neuer is not good? Of course not, so I don't think Arteta is to blame for the draw. ”

The professor's biggest opinion is, of course, Szczesny's red card.

'Our goalkeeper really touched the ball when he came out, maybe in Italy it was a red card but there were a lot of fouls today that couldn't have been blown in the Premier League.

Everything was going well before this red card, we were playing very well but the referee made that decision and that red card ruined everything.

I was very frustrated that the second half of the game was one-sided and it would have been an extremely classic matchup......

What are you happy about about the game? Lin's performance, of course.

He put his heart and soul into it, showed his quality and gave everything for the team.

In the second leg we're going to give it our all, just like we did last season, and the whole team will fight until the end. ”

In the other Manchester City home game against Barcelona, the two sides played out almost identical plots.

Manchester City defender Demichelis was sent off for a foul on Messi, Messi converted the penalty, and then Neymar assisted Alves to extend the score in the 90th minute, and the Blues lost 2-0 at home.

The Times directly questioned UEFA with the headline "Black Whistle Will Destroy the Premier League", and of course reflected on it at the same time.

"Overnight, both Arsenal and Manchester City experienced the same difficulties: red card + penalty.

Arsenal drew 2-2 while Manchester City lost 2-0.

The process is similar, but the result is different, and there is only one reason: Arsenal have Lin Yun, while Manchester City does not.

Of course, what we want to discuss today is not how great Lin is, but whether the referee's decision is fair or unfair.

As we all know, the Premier League has always been known for its fast pace, fierce scrambles, and lenient referees.

In the Premier League, it is not uncommon to see the referee signaling the game to continue after a fierce scramble, and it is not uncommon to see seemingly dangerous actions that are not punished with a red or yellow card.

To some extent, this has added to the Premier League's own charm, but it has also brought serious hidden dangers to the Premier League's journey in the Champions League.

So, the problem arises.

Two games, two red cards + penalties, the perpetrators were Demichelis and Szczesny.

Demichelis' foul, the controversy over whether a penalty should be awarded; As for Szczesny's foul, the controversy is whether the red card was too heavy.

Even Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer pointed out directly: 'I know the rules, but I still don't think it should be a red card for the goalkeeper.' The penalty awarded to Arsenal was enough. ’

In addition, at the previous UEFA organizing committee meeting held in Bilbao, there was a recent application to FIFA to amend the rules.

UEFA wants to change this 'penalty + red card' to a penalty + yellow card, and the reason given by UEFA is that the 'penalty + red card' will result in a triple penalty: the player is sent off with a red card, a penalty is awarded, and then a one-match ban is given.

That's too cruel.

It is unclear whether such a proposal will be implemented in the end, and the home losses of Manchester City and Arsenal are irreversible, and both teams will face difficulties in qualifying.

All in all, as long as the Premier League does not rethink and reform its loose scale, the example of teams losing in Europe will continue......"

The controversy surrounding this game is not over.

A camera captured that on the way to the player's tunnel after being sent off, Szczesny made a gesture with his right hand covertly, suspected of venting his dissatisfaction with the Italian whistle Rizzoli.

A number of British media outlets, including the Daily Mirror, the Daily Mail and The Independent, focused on the incident under the theme of "Szczesny making a lewd gesture", and it can be seen from the video replay that the Poles' lewd gestures were not unintentional, but were deliberately repeated several times, and were transmitted to the world through the broadcast camera.

If UEFA intervenes, his troubles will probably continue, and it will not be as simple as a one-game or two-game ban......

Outside the field, the players did not stop, the heat of the private meeting model stall at the Giroud Hotel has not passed, and here Bendtner can't wait to rush to a London nightclub after watching the match between Arsenal and Bayern, and he didn't leave until 4:30 in the morning, and this nightclub is known as "London's dirtiest nightclub", famous for erotic dance and sexual openness.

Anyway, it's just a piece of chicken feathers.

Fortunately, there is also some positive energy coming from the various negative reports surrounding Arsenal.

On February 22, London time, Arsenal unveiled the bronze statue of Bergkamp at the Emirates Stadium, in the presence of the Ice Prince himself.

Following Thierry Henry, Adams and Chapman, Bergkamp became the fourth Gunners legend in Arsenal's history to have a statue at the Emirates Stadium.

The entire Arsenal squad was present at the ceremony.

Everyone is a little envious.

For a player, this is definitely one of the most glorious moments of his life, but it is a pity that among all the people present, it seems that only Lin Yun has this qualification.

Based on his performance in leading the team to the Champions League and winning the Ballon d'Or last season, even if he retires now, Arsenal should have a statue of him here.

Modric asked, "Have you ever wondered which action they will use when they make your statue in the future?" ”

Henry's statue is a classic kneeling glide, while the Ice Prince's statue shows him flying and stopping the ball, both of which are among their signature moves.

Lin Yun thought for a moment and said, "Meditate or kick." ”

"Flying kicks don't look too good to make statues......"

"Besides, it's too early to talk about that."

Bergkamp took his family to take a group photo in front of the statue, and was interviewed by the media, then walked over and shook hands with Lin Yun.

As soon as he exchanged two words, the system's prompt suddenly popped up from Lin Yun's mind.

"Challenge mission released."

"Mission Name: Prince's Legacy"

"Mission description: Complete a hat-trick in any Premier League match and ask for three goals to be voted in the top three Premier League goals of the week."

"Quest Reward: Trait 'Graceful Pause (Bergkamp, Unique)'."

"Failure Penalty: None."

…… The hat trick is easy to say, and the senior is no problem, but the three are fairy balls, which are somewhat difficult.

It seems that only two people in the history of the Premier League have accomplished this feat.

On 27 August 1997, Arsenal drew 3-3 at Leicester City, with Bergkamp scoring the only hat-trick of his Gunners career, including a classic lobble, a world wave and an elegant lob, all three of which were in the top three of the Premier League's best goals of the week.

The other was in the 14th round of the season, when Liverpool slaughtered Norwich 5-0 at home, and Suarez staged a big four, and all four goals were so picturesque that he won the top three spots in the Premier League's top 10 goals that week.

It's hard to say, it's easy to say, it's easy to say......

Of course, easy is relative to him.

Against Bayern, both of his goals can be considered fairy goals, and it is no surprise that he was voted the top two best goals in the Champions League this round.

Plagiarized Ibrahimovic's super barb first, breaking the Champions League record for the farthest goal in the world's second.

So if you change to an opponent with a weak point, it doesn't seem like an impossible task.

With that motivation, he worked hard in the following leagues.

At 15 o'clock local time on February 22, the 27th round of the English Premier League started at the Emirates Stadium.

Lin Yun started the game and was in excellent form, but his performance in this game was so shocking that everyone even thought they were seeing another Raheem Sterling or Balotelli.

In the 10th minute of the game, Modric went straight to the stopper, and Lin Yun successfully reversed the offside position and got a single chance.

In the face of the attacking goalkeeper, Lin Yun did not shoot directly, but prepared to use the Marseille slalom to pass the opponent and then hit the empty goal, but what was staged was thinking about life before going out, and the football was confiscated by the goalkeeper......

In the 16th minute, Rosicky picked up a pass, and Lin Yun's iconic flying kick made a contribution to help Arsenal open the scoring.

Mission completion 1/3.

Just when everyone thought that he was finally back to normal, he made it more difficult for himself.

Wilshere crossed from the side, Lin Yun deliberately picked up the ball when he was able to score a direct volley, and then hung the golden hook upside down and kicked the ball out of the bottom line......

Before the end of the first half, Walcott crossed in front of the goal, Lin Yun faced the empty goal and did not enter, but brought the ball back, and then connected the opponent's three defenders before hitting the ball into the corner.

Mission Completion: 2/3.

Just when he thought that the "elegant pause" was already in the bag, in the second half he did not get the opportunity to play with the game, but Giroud suddenly broke out and scored two goals in a row, and Arsenal sealed the victory early.

As soon as the clock reached the 65th minute, Arsene Wenger was eager to replace him......

After the game, Lin Yun's two goals were indeed selected as the top two best goals in the Premier League this round, and then they were naturally elected as the top two goals of the week.

This is already a remarkable achievement, but it is obviously not enough for him to complete the task, and he will have to continue to challenge in the next competitions.

Lin Yun and Arsene Wenger were both voted Premier League Player of the Month and Manager of the Month for February, and Arsenal were on a rampage, but just when everyone thought they would go on to sweep until they won the title early, they overturned in the first game of March.

"At 15 o'clock local time on March 1, the 28th round of the 2013/14 English Premier League was contested at Britannia Stadium, and Arsenal was upset away and lost 0-1 to Stoke City......"

Winning and losing is a common thing, not to mention that the Gunners now have a clear advantage in the standings, and it doesn't hurt to lose one or two games, but the problem is that on the eve of the upcoming Allianz Arena, they have planted a hole in the weak team, which has to make fans full of worries about the upcoming big game.

The time came on March 12 amid the worries of the fans, and the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals was finally long overdue.

Lin Yun came to Germany for the third time.

The first time was also against Bayern, when he made a pass and a shot to help the team draw the opponent, and finally advanced with an aggregate score of 6-5; The second time was against Borussia Dortmund this season, where he scored and assisted twice and beat the Hornets to the Hornets at Westphalia......

"Relying on Lin Yun's brace and goals from Robben and Kroos, the two sides drew 2-2 in the first leg, and Bayern had a slight advantage due to away goals."

'Lahm is back at right-back for his 100th European game.

Martinez replaced Boateng at centre-back, and whether he can withstand Lin Yun's test will be one of the keys to deciding this match.

Piggy Sweinsteiger and Thiago formed a back two, while Gotze and Mandzukic squeezed Kroos and Muller into the starting line-up. ”

'Arsenal are not in a good situation, not only have they just lost to underdogs Stoke City in the league, but they have also suffered injuries to a number of players.

Goalkeeper Szczesny suspended, Fabianski in goal, Gibbs, Wilshere, and Ramsey were absent due to injury, Wenger put on a 4-4-2 with a more balanced attack and defense, Arteta at the back, Luka Modric as an attacking midfielder, Cazorla and Walcott on the wings......"

Bayern 4-2-3-1.

Goalkeepers: 1-Neuer;

Defenders: 21-Lahm, 8-Martinez, 4-Dante, 27-Alaba;

Defenders: 31-Schweinsteiger, 6-Thiago;

Midfielders: 10-Robben, 19-Gotze, 7-Ribery;

Forwards: 9 - Mandzukic.

Arsenal 4-4-2.

Goalkeepers: 21-Fabianski;

Defenders: 3 - Sagna, 4 - Mertesacker, 6 - Koscielny, 30 - Monreal;

Midfielders: 8 Arteta, 20 Modric, 19 Cazorla, 14 Walcott;

Forwards: 12-Giroud, 11-Lin Yun.

Arsenal kick off.

As soon as Lin Yun passed the ball back, Bayern's four midfielders immediately stepped forward to put pressure, and the ball fell a few times between several Arsenal defenders before being kicked into the midfield by Fabianski.

Lin Yun leaned on Dante and was about to stop the ball on his chest, who knew that Schweinsteiger suddenly rushed over from the side and quickly snatched the ball away.

Lin Yungang wanted to fight back, but he didn't expect that after the little pig looked up at the direction of the goal, he suddenly shot with a kick.

The ball flew high and fell towards the Arsenal goal.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The goalkeeper kicked the ball into the midfield and Sweinsteiger got the ball...... Knock on the door!? ”

Fabianski was still walking slowly towards the goal after passing the ball, but he didn't expect the ball to fly back so quickly, so he quickly watched the ball and accelerated backwards, and when the ball was about to land into the goal, he jumped lightly and narrowly dragged the ball off the crossbar.

Mandzukic, who rushed over to make up for the shot, made a save.

Pep Guardiola put his hands in his pockets, his face was not sad or happy, and Wenger on the other side was also expressionless, as if it was not Arsenal's goal that was almost broken just now.

"Bayern Munich almost copied Lin Yun's goal in the last game, but thanks to Fabianski's concentration and Sweinsteiger's sneak attack was unsuccessful, Bayern Munich got a corner kick opportunity just after the opening."

Sweinsteiger's lob shot kicked off Bayern's attack.

From a corner, Giroud headed in the middle of the box.

The football fell to the top of the arc of the penalty area, and Lin Yun immediately rushed out.

It was Robben who reacted as fast as him, and both of them had already rushed to the landing point, and neither of them had fully landed.

Lin Yun turned sideways, directly blocked Robben to the side, and then easily unloaded the ball with his left foot.

Dante hurried over, and Lin Yun had already flicked the ball forward and accelerated to rush out.

He had no choice but to shovel from behind......

"Beep!"

"Dante fouled behind his back and got the first yellow card of the game! It's only been a few minutes since the opening, and he's not going to play well in the rest of the game......"

Lineker was quite unhappy, "The referee is still merciful!" Dent: It's totally a red card move! Does the referee still want to ruin today's game? ”

From Arsenal's free-kick at the back, Arteta hoisted the ball directly into the vicinity of Bayern's penalty area.

Modric stuck his position and crossed directly into the penalty area without stopping the ball.

The football flew towards Lin Yun.

He was caught between Martinez and Dante, barely able to move.

The ball soon came to him, and he took a step forward and pretended to stop the ball in front of his chest.

Dante and Martinez stepped forward with him, and they also moved their hands and feet, obviously not intending to let him get the ball so easily.

Just as the football was about to touch his body, Lin Yun suddenly bent down and let the football fly over his head.

Dante and Martinez were taken aback.

Martinez reflexively reached out to block the ball, but he reacted in time and took it back just as he was about to touch the ball.

Lin Yun had already turned around and rushed past them, catching up with the football.

Neuer immediately attacked and blocked in front of Lin Yun.

Lin Yun didn't hesitate, and directly shot low and hit Nujiao.

Neuer didn't have time to save, just stretched out his foot to stop it, but unfortunately didn't touch anything.

The football rolled into the goal under the desperate gaze of the Bayern people all over the field.

0-1.

β€œGOAL!!! Lin pushes a shot into the far corner and Arsenal take the lead away from home! ”

"Modric's pass was just right, Lin Yun's handling was very smart, and the shooting was also very decisive, and Arsenal temporarily led Bayern Munich 3-2 on aggregate!"

Lin Yun immediately ran to the sidelines after sending the football into the goal.

He spread his arms and soared like a glider at the Allianz Arena.

Modric caught up and wanted to transform into Modri to ride, but Lin Yun ran into an S shape and a B shape all of a sudden, and he followed behind and never found a chance to ride up.

"The 47th goal of the season and the 11th goal of the Champions League, Lin Yun caught up with Ronaldo, and the two are currently tied for the top spot in the 2013-2014 Champions League scorer list with 11 goals!"

Real Madrid beat Schalke 04 6-1 in the first leg, Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in that game, scoring 32 goals in the last 25 Champions League games, surpassing Ruud van Nistelrooy in the Champions League and ranking third in history.

The president insisted that it was Lin Yun who snatched his Golden Ball Award, and kept holding his breath to press him in the Champions League, but he didn't expect Lin Yun to catch up so quickly after missing three group games, and he was a little panicked for a while.

The second leg of the matchup between Real Madrid and Schalke 04 was a full week later than that of Arsenal and Bayern, and he can only silently cheer for Bayern now, hoping that Dante and Martinez will give him some strength and help him snipe Lin Yun.

The game soon resumed.

Bayern, who were behind the score, were obviously in a hurry and played fast.

Ribery, who was like an invisible man in the first round, was finally fully resurrected today, Robben's state continued to be online, and the Robern combination exploded with great power, almost completely destroying the opposite Cazorla + Walcott, interpreting the god horse called the strongest wings in the world.

Arsenal were not at a disadvantage in numbers this time, but they were still beaten by Bayern's attack.

In the 10th minute, Franck Franck Ribery burst into the left side of the box and crossed from the left side of the box, and Robben fired a left-footed shot over the crossbar from 9 yards out.

In the 13th minute, Robben cut inside and fired a low shot that was saved by Fabianski.

In the 16th minute, Lahm stepped forward with an assist and burst into the box after a one-two with Robben, and the final shot was narrowly blocked by Mertesacker.

In the 20th minute, Gotze cleverly plugged in, Ribery cut into the box and dribbled straight to the goalkeeper.

"GΓΆtze takes the ball out and Ribery !! it alone"

The Bayern fans immediately jumped up, but before the cheers could sound, they were pressed back by the referee's whistle.

"Offside?! Is this ball offside?! ”

'Look at the replay, oh, it was really offside, and at the moment of Gotze's pass, Ribery's toe overtook Sagna, and that was fine......

Of course, Bayern did not accept such a decision, and the fans kept booing, and Lahm and Ribery also found the referee, and it was another good fight.

Arsene Wenger was also a little anxious.

If the situation continues like this, it will be only a matter of time before Bayern equalise.

The defense can no longer be counted on, and can only be attacked by attack......
