Chapter 242: Plug-in and Ruthlessness

Lin Yun shot in the backcourt, and the ball went in! Another long range goal! ”

"Liverpool's attack is too fierce, Mignolet is careless, Lin Yun's sneak attack is successful, and Arsenal's overall situation has been decided!"

Lin Yun stood in place, opened his arms, and his teammates rushed up, and the entire Emirates Stadium roared to the sky.

Arsene Wenger clapped lightly from the sidelines before moving his squad to replace Lin Yun, Luka Modric and N'Golo Kante soon after.

Without the three, Arsenal's strength at both ends of the pitch was visibly reduced, and Liverpool continued to launch suicidal attacks, finally adding another goal in stoppage time, but there was no way back, and the game ended 5-3.

There is no doubt that Lin Yun, who scored three goals and contributed two assists, was once again the decisive factor in this game.

In the post-match press conference, Rodgers could only explain his failure with the clichΓ©d tune: Liverpool did not lose to Arsenal, but only to Lin Yun.

At the end of the World Cup and the upcoming European Cup, Lin Yun is undoubtedly the national treasure of the entire England national treasure, plus the Golden Ball Award he won and the background that only Arsenal in the entire Premier League has broken into the quarterfinals of the Champions League, "Lin Yun led Arsenal to defeat XXX" is the most popular among all the British people.

Arsenal's defence of the Premier League title has become unstoppable, with other teams aiming for European places, relegation and ...... Second.

However, at this crucial moment in the race for runners-up, Manuel Pellegrini and his Manchester City side fell behind, with a surprise one-goal defeat to Crystal Palace, while Jose Mourinho and Chelsea cemented second place with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Stoke City, still retaining their theoretical title hopes.

In the 33rd round of the league, their hopes became increasingly slim, and although they won 1-0 against old rivals Manchester United in the focus battle, Arsenal still beat Burnley 3-1 in the absence of several key players to continue to lead the table.

In the 34th round of the league, Chelsea and Arsenal are about to meet in a narrow way, which will be their last chance to snipe at Arsenal.

In terms of fixtures, Arsenal are undoubtedly a lot more passive, because before this battle of Tianwang Mountain, they also have to meet Juventus in the Champions League and visit Reading in the FA Cup, and Chelsea are only left with the league task at the moment, and they are completely at ease.

The entire Arsenal club entered a state of intense preparation, Wenger directly gave the death order, all the players of the first team were forbidden to enter the entertainment venue, and everyone's nerves were tensed.

On April 15, the Champions League kicked off, and four sets of key matchups were played across Europe, the most closely watched of which was undoubtedly the Madrid derby between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, followed by Arsenal's away challenge to Juventus.

It was a direct clash between last season's Premier League champions and Serie A champions, with one side aiming to defend the title and create an unprecedented Champions League triumph, while the other side carried the legacy of the mini-World Cup in an attempt to regain its former glory, and the two sides were bound to field out their strongest squads, with tickets sold out early, and Juventus even set a record of 3.66 million euros for home ticket sales.

It was Lin's second visit to Turin as an opposition, the first being two years ago, in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, when he scored a crucial goal in a game to help the team win away from home.

Two years later, he returned to his old place and became the world's first man in football, feeling the hostility of the city almost as soon as he stepped out of the airport.

There is a sense of dΓ©jΓ  vu that the Great Demon King is leading an army to invade someone else's territory.

"If nothing else...... Modric painstakingly analyzed the current Champions League situation, "Barcelona and Bayern Munich should both qualify, Real Madrid should be able to pass Atletico Madrid, according to UEFA's urine, maybe our opponent will be Bayern again...... Strange, why do I say again? ”

"Why Bayern and not Real Madrid and Barcelona?" Walcott was curious, "We have a grudge against them. ”

Arteta stuck his head over and interjected, but his tone was a little drifting, "In this case, which of the giants in the whole of Europe has not been destroyed by us?" ”

Arsenal has won two Big Ear Cups in a row, and has almost won all the giants of the world in the past two years, so when it comes to the quarterfinals, there are basically no unfamiliar opponents, but in terms of origin, it is undoubtedly the deepest with Bayern, Barcelona, and Real Madrid.

The Magic Flute said that UEFA would arrange Bayern to be their next opponent, and naturally had his own opinion, "You forgot? England just beat Germany in the World Cup final, we just beat Borussia Dortmund twice in the group stage, England football vs German football, you know. ”

"Ouch," Lin Yundu was happy, "Bayern Munich and Dortmund are in the same breath? ”

Walket also smiled, "Then why didn't Real Madrid help Atletico Madrid get revenge?" You know, we won the title last season by stepping on the corpse of Atletico Madrid. ”

"Come on, their own revenge hasn't been avenged......"

Wenger looked at the disciples who were talking and laughing, and had already begun to look forward to their semi-final opponents, and rarely did not interrupt soundly.

It's not that he looks down on Juve, it's that Juventus really doesn't deserve to be Arsenal's opponent now.

Allegri fielded all of Pogba's main players in this game, with an average age of 30 years and 64 days for 11 men, making him the second-longest start in Juve's Champions League history.

Among them, the main ones are still old guys like Buffon and Pirlo.

On Arsenal's side, Lin Yun, Modric, Kante, Wilshere...... All are the best ages for professional athletes.

What's more, although they are young but experienced, they have not only experienced all kinds of big scenes, but also stood on the podium many times, and they are truly a team of champions!

Arsenal like this, how can Juventus play?!

Entering the players' tunnel, the Juventus players looked at the Gunners with a somewhat dead eyes.

Lin Yun calmly accepted this gaze.

Led by him, all the Arsenal players have great confidence in this game, even if this is Turin, even if it is the Allianz Stadium in Turin, even if they are facing 31 Serie A titles and two Champions League winners, football veterans such as Buffon, Chiellini, Patrice Evra and Pirlo......

There was no exchange between the two sides, and it was not until the flag exchange that he and Buffon smiled at each other, and the game immediately entered a hunting state as soon as the game began.

"Juventus are on an 11-game unbeaten run at home in Europe.

Andrea Pirlo returned injured in February, and Juve are unbeaten in his last 19 official matches with 13 wins and six draws.

Tevez, Morata, Bonucci and Patrice Evra, who were rested in the league, returned to the starting line-up, and Juventus came up with the strongest squad to welcome the arrival of Arsenal.

Arsenal also played their best, with Lin Yun, Luka Modric, Wilshere, N'Golo Kante and others also resting in the league and were able to play at their best......"

"Juventus 4-3-1-2.

Goalkeepers: 1-Gianluigi Buffon (c);

Defenders: 26 Lichtsteiner, 19 Bonucci, 3 Chiellini, 33 Evra;

Midfielders: 23 Vidal, 21 Pirlo (74'15 Barzagli), 8 Marchisio, 37 Pereira;

Forwards: 10 Tevez, 9 Morata. ”

"Arsenal 4-2-1.

Goalkeepers: 13 - Ospina;

Defender: 3-Luke. Shaw, 4-Mertesacker, 6-Koscielny, 18-Monreal;

Midfielders: 7-Kante, 10-Wilshere;

Midfielders: 17-Sanchez, 20-Modric, 14-Walcott;

Forwards: 9-Lin ...... Cloud Shot !?? ”

In the 36th second of the game, Lin Yun, Modric and Sanchez quickly advanced the ball to the front court like magic.

Luka Modric dragged on a little and picked up a clever pick immediately after receiving a pass from Sanchez.

The football fell in front of Lin Yun.

Lin Yun rushed to the front of the football at full speed and shot at the falling football.

Chiellini met him head-on without fear of death, but the football grazed his shoulder and flew over, but Lin Yun couldn't brake and collided with him directly.

Chiellini felt like he had been hit head-on by a tank, and sat down on the ground with his back butt, while Lin Yun only took two steps back to gain a foothold.

All eyes were on the ball as it flew towards the goal.

This was a perfect shot in terms of power, speed and angle, and Lin Yun's own feeling was so good that if he hadn't been blocked by Chiellini, he probably couldn't help but celebrate in advance again.

The ball made an eerie S-shaped arc and flew straight into the top left corner of the goal, but just as he was about to cross the goal line, Buffon suddenly rushed towards him like an agile cheetah.

With one palm stretched, the ball was dragged off the crossbar.

"Whew~~"

"Bang Bang!"

"it, door god!"

"Thanks to the Buffon ......"

The magic flute, who was about to run over to celebrate with Lin Yun, was also stunned for a moment, "My assist is gone like this?" ”

Lin Yun shook his head, and couldn't help but applaud Buffon lightly.

The audience burst into applause, and Buffon didn't know what the hell they were doing, only that his hand hurt badly.

Sanchez crossed from the side, Modric picked up the pass over the top, and Lin Yun volleyed ...... Gianluigi Buffon pounces !! ”

"Lin Yun kicked a magical S-shaped long shot, but it was magically blocked by Buffon out of the bottom line, and Arsenal almost got off to a dream start!"

"Although Lin Yun's shot was saved, Juventus' crisis was not completely resolved, and Arsenal got a corner kick opportunity......"

Modric went to serve, Buffon pointed at Lin Yun, and after seeing that Chiellini and Vidal had caught him left and right, he was still not at ease, and advised: "Don't let him run!" ”

Before Chiellini and Vidal could respond, Lin Yun had already squeezed hard and broke free from the two.

The two of them each let out their own national curses and hurriedly chased them out, but they were thrown away in only two or three seconds.

Lin Yun quickly got rid of the no-man's land, Modric immediately kicked the ball over with a long pass, and Lin Yun quickly adjusted, jumped high, and hung the golden hook upside down.

Chiellini finally caught up, but he could only watch Lin Yun complete a difficult shot.

The football was hit by Lin Yun's right foot and hit the grass hard before rebounding towards the goal.

Seeing that the football was about to enter the goal, Buffon was like a god, and once again narrowly saved the ball, hitting Bonucci's feet and going out of the bottom line......

Lin Yun's shot was fast and urgent, and there was a change of direction after a rebound, but Buffon blocked the ball without any extra action as if he had opened the eye of foresight.

The major commentators were stunned by the two of them with the same offense and defense.

"Lin shoots, GO...... Yes? Buffon makes another god-level save! He accomplished an impossible mission and reacted faster than lightning! ”

Lin Yun's close shot was blocked by Buffon! It's amazing, Lin Yun and Modric cooperate tacitly, and the shot is full of unpredictability, but Buffon predicted Lin Yun's shot and saved the ball in a thrilling way......"

Buffon roared excitedly and hammered his own chest.

This scene can be another highlight of his career, the kind that deserves to be reminiscent of the video over and over again after retirement, his teammates also came to bump fists with him, Chiellini hugged him excitedly, and all Juventus people were full of joy of escaping death.

Lin Yun silently walked towards the corner flag area.

Modric thought that he was going to send a corner kick and then play a difficult action such as a direct shot from a corner kick, but he didn't expect Lin Yun to just shake his head and come to a place about two meters away from him to stand still.

Chiellini and Vidal hurriedly trotted over.

Lin Yun had already come to the boundary, with his back to the direction of the penalty area, and reached out to ask for the ball.

Chiellini and Vidal were behind him, one left and one right, firmly blocking between him and the penalty area, Chiellini did not forget to stretch out his finger and point at Modric, reminding his teammates to come up and block, not to let him play two-to-two with Lin Yun.

Modric passed the ball to Lin Yun with a short pass, and as soon as he stepped onto the field, he was tightly entangled by Bonucci who rushed over.

Lin Yun gently knocked the ball with his back to the two defenders and knocked the ball between them with his heel.

Chiellini and Vidal immediately turned around and ran towards the football while not forgetting to move sideways to block Lin Yun, but Lin Yun was so easy to block.

He rounded Chiellini and then caught up with the ball on the line of the penalty area with the harassment of the opposition, and without thinking about it, he directly volleyed with the outside of his instep.

"Lin Yun and Luka Modric played a tactical corner...... Take the ball on the side, break through with your back, it's over! Lin Yun took the ...... on the right side of the penalty area Just hit?! ”

The place where Lin Yun shot was better than the direct shot from the corner kick, the angle between him and the goal was only about 30 degrees, and it was still on the line of the penalty area, no one would think that he would shoot when he said it.

Hell, it wasn't a kick, it was a volley, but the ball just drew an exaggerated arc that was not necessarily possible with a deliberate shot, followed a crescent-shaped trajectory around all defenders, and then flew accurately into the corner above the side of the goal.

Buffon had once again made a good judgment, but this time he couldn't do anything with the ball even if he had three hands.

The football flew into the goal under the desperate gaze of Juventus.

Lin Yun only took two steps back after seeing the football touch the net, then turned around and walked to the sidelines.

He couldn't find the area of the visiting fans for a while, and when he put his hands up, he found himself facing a large crowd of Juventus fans wearing black and white sword stripes.

Surprisingly, the home fans were stunned for just two seconds before giving him a round of applause......
