Chapter 273: "Two Hammers Finalize"

The ball was passed to Ozil's feet again. Ozil glanced at the front and then directly lobbed it in.

Podolski looked up at the ball in the air, then went straight forward and entered the opponent's penalty area.At this time, Arteta from behind also stepped forward and followed Podolski into the penalty area.

Watching the ball fly, Podolski grabbed the front point and was ready to take off.And Arteta, who broke into the penalty area, also helped him involve some Naples defensive forces.At least Albiol, who has turned from a defensive midfielder into a central defender, is pressing Arteta at this time, and Podolski jumped directly to overwhelm the young central defender Fernandez.

Podolski, who pressed Fernandez to take off, got the header first, but he did not immediately head the ball directly.Instead, he rubbed his head and made a header ferry to the other side of the goal.

Li Zihan, who was without the ball on the sideline, quickly completed the inside cut and appeared in this position.Zuniga's speed couldn't keep up with him at all, and he didn't dare to foul Li Zihan without the ball, otherwise he wouldn't have to run away with a red card.

After unloading the ball with his chest, central defender Cannavaro's defense also arrived.Li Zihan used his left back to lay across his opponent's chest, otherwise the opponent would easily stretch out his foot to poke the ball, or forcefully squeeze himself out with his body.

Then he sent the ball slightly forward with his right foot, and it seemed that he was about to break through to Cannavaro's left.But immediately, when the right foot was retracted, it brought the broken ball back.

The deceived Cannavaro began to tilt his center of gravity to the left, but at this time Li Zihan suddenly withdrew his foot and broke through from the right.

"Lee!! He successfully swayed the experienced Paul Cannavaro!!"

After succeeding, Li Zihan hit the goal directly with his right foot, and the ball flew straight to the far corner of the goal.

"Li Zihan shoots! Hit the far corner!!"

Reina, who had already blocked the near corner of the goal, immediately made a side attack and stretched his hands as far as possible.But he still couldn't hold the ball, and the ball passed from the tip of his hand to the far corner of the goal!
"GOOOOOAL!! Arsenal have established their lead at home, the No.12 scorer, the young Li——Zihan!!"

After scoring the goal, Li Zihan waved his right arm vigorously, and then hugged Podolski who assisted him.

"You pass the header so beautifully, Lucas!" Li Zihan said to Podolski with a smile in German.

"You shoot well too, otherwise there is nothing you can do if the beautiful pass fails to turn into an assist, hahaha." Before Podolski finished speaking, Ozil, who instigated the attack, ran up He hugged the two of them.

"In this way, Li Zihan has scored goals in the two Champions League games so far. As expected of Li, once he gets used to the environment, he can't stop scoring goals!" said Hull House of Sky Sports.

Arsenal fans gave an enthusiastic response to this goal. Many fans even jumped up from their seats in excitement, and then hugged an Arsenal fan next to them. do not know.

Wenger applauded from the sidelines before returning to the manager's seat.Now he is more at ease. Arsenal may not be used to playing against the wind, but once it goes well, even the powerful "universe benevolence" may not be able to get anything out of it.After all, although Arsenal's results are tough, they are the only team in the Champions League last season that did not lose to Bayern.

Sure enough, after the re-kick-off, Arsenal played more smoothly.The ball frequently attacked from both sides, and then responded from the center.

And when Naples began to pay attention to defending the two sides, Li Zihan and Podolski once again "transformed" to the center, playing behind the opponent's two old central defenders.

This made the other party miserable, and behind Podolski and Li Zihan there was a Cazorla and Ramsey who often came in behind.

And Naples directly became a passive and beaten situation. The only two attacks were easily resolved by the excellent Szczesny, let alone an equalizer.

However, Arsenal almost expanded the score in the 1-minute stoppage time of the first half. Ozil's pass once again accurately found the space behind the opponent's central defender.Instead, the ball was given to Cazorla who inserted into the front of the penalty area. After Cazorla shook the full-back Amero, he shot directly.

It's just that this time Reina didn't let Arsenal, his old opponent, show off his power. He directly threw Cazorla's shot into his arms.

Seeing that the shot failed, Cazorla shook his head regretfully.

"Okay, the referee blew the half-time whistle and Arsenal secured their lead at the Emirates Stadium. Let's hope that the second half will bring some changes, especially with Napoli behind. Well we Come back in 15 minutes!"

At the beginning of the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.Wenger and Benitez made adjustments together. Benitez replaced the full-back Zuniga, who performed poorly in the first half, and replaced him with Macho, who is faster and has both offense and defense.On the other hand, Wenger replaced Cazorla on the right and replaced him with the little tiger Walcott.

"The head coaches of both sides made substitutions at the same time. Naples replaced the more offensive full-back, full-back, and Italian Christian Maggio. It seems that Naples, who is behind, wants to attack. After all, a match Zero behind, no amount of defense can change the backward situation. And Wenger replaced Cazorla with average speed, and replaced Walcott with fast speed. Lee, Podolski, Volker on the front line The three of them are all speed players, it seems that Arsenal want to use fast attack to open up the opponent's defense line, obviously Wenger thinks it is absolutely unsafe for a score of [-] to [-]."

"Both Cazorla and Walcott have performed well this season, especially Walcott. It would be better if there were less.”

Although Benitez also replaced a fast full-back, wanting to restrict Arsenal's speed a little bit, he couldn't suppress the collision of the "high-speed train" on the three lines from the left, center and right of the Gunners!
It's just that since Macho came up, Naples has indeed improved a lot both offensively and defensively.Ma Qiao often uses his speed to make up defenses in the middle, and when he counterattacks, he immediately catches up with Callejon on the side to cooperate.

But these are not enough in front of Li Zihan, especially when he is followed by Ozil who is very good at passing the ball.

After defending a Napoli counter-attack, Ozil received a pass from Arteta.Then it was decisively distributed to Walcott on the wing, and he was plugging in from the center.

Walcott took the ball and broke through directly from the side. When he encountered Amero's defense, he cooperated with Ramsey.After passing Amero, Walcott, who regained the ball, immediately started up his speed, and did not give the opponent a chance to recover the defense at all.

Then the sideline changed to an inward cut, which attracted Albiol and had to come over to cover the defense.But Walcott did not cut inside and continued to dribble, but gave the ball to the middle.

Podolski appeared in this position, chested the ball off and didn't even look at it.With a tap of his heel, the ball was sent behind him.

"Podolski, nice back-heel pass, Lee follow!"

After Li Zihan cut inside, he received the pass from Podolski with his back turned to him, and then saw Ma Qiao rushing over and made a direct tackle.Li Zihan didn't dare to be careless, and immediately sent the ball to Ozil who followed up in the middle, and jumped up to avoid the opponent's tackle.

Ozil passed the ball back immediately after touching the ball, but he continued to follow up in the middle under the cover of Podolski.

After Li Zihan received the ball again, he continued to cut inside a few steps.Cannavaro came up, and he directly chose to pass the ball to Ozil here.

"Pass it back! It's already in the opponent's restricted area!"

After passing the ball, Li Zihan took a few steps to the side, and then received the ball back from Ozil.The two seem to have a tacit understanding, and they cooperate very tacitly, directly playing the entire defense line of Naples!

Li Zihan took the ball and made a sudden stop, trying to shake off Cannavaro and continue to cut inside to face the goalkeeper.But the experienced Cannavaro was not fooled this time. He moved a little bit and stopped immediately when he saw that the situation was wrong.

And Li Zihan needed his two steps, without hesitation, he continued to pass the ball to Ozil.

After a series of cooperation between Li Zihan and Ozil, the Naples defenders obviously noticed the two.So when Li Zihan passed the ball, Inle, who came back from the defense, was beside Ozil, and Ozil received the ball with his back against the opponent.

"Continue to pass!!! What is Arsenal going to do? At this time, Naples' defense has begun to be in place. Li Zihan should have tried to take a strong shot by himself before!"

Ozil pressed his arms against Inle, who was close to him behind him, so as not to let him interfere strongly with him.Then he continued to make a pass to seek cooperation with Li Zihan, and after Li Zihan and Ozil passed back and forth several times, Cannavaro learned his lesson and stretched out one foot to put It is the only way to get the ball to Li Zihan.

However, Ozil did not pass the ball, but shot directly with his left foot.

The ball stuck to the grass and slipped between Cannavaro Jr.'s outstretched legs.Reina was caught off guard, and by the time he reacted, it was already too late.

The ball rolled into the net before he could save it, two to zero!
