Chapter 281: Shoot the Hornet

In the end, Arsenal beat Canary Norwich [-]-[-] at the Emirates Stadium.The Norwich defender scored a face-saving goal from a corner kick in stoppage time.

Getting three points as he wished did not make Wenger overjoyed.Because in his heart, the three points belonged to him long ago, and now he is still a little worried.Because of the diagnosis by the team doctor, Modesat will have to recuperate for half a month.This means that in the Champions League group match against Dortmund in the middle of next week, Modesart will not be able to play, and Vermaelen can only be used.

To be honest, Wenger is really worried about letting Vermaelen play now. The performance of the Belgian central defender this season is obvious to all.In fact, Vermaelen's performance on the training ground is still very good, meticulous.But I don't know why, when I play, there is an important situation.

Modesat was originally a German and one of the main central defenders of the national team.Based on his knowledge of the German team and his national team teammates, Modesat is the most suitable candidate, but now he is injured by Norwich.
So Wenger is quite a headache now. If he knew that he would not let Modesat play in the game against Norwich, he would call a central defender from the reserve team.

When there is the Champions League, time always flies, and three days later it is the match day.

In this round of the Champions League group stage, Arsenal encountered last season's Champions League runner-up, the Hornet Dortmund, at their home court.

It's a tough opponent and all Gunners fans and players know that.

On the night of October 22, Arsenal's Emirates Stadium was brightly lit, like a bright pearl under the night sky.Inside the stadium, there was a lot of voices.Although today is a working day, it has not affected the fans' love for football and their loyalty to their team.After getting off work very early in the afternoon, Arsenal fans had a hasty dinner at home, and then brought their families to the Emirates Stadium.They know who they are facing tonight, and they also know how tough their opponent is.They're here for the simple reason of cheering on the team and witnessing a win.

Of course, many Dortmund fans flew from Germany, and they came with the team.In Europe, when the team goes to other countries to play the Champions League, there are always many fans who spontaneously and voluntarily go to the away games to cheer for the team.Especially in this kind of match where the strength is close and the two tigers are fighting to the death.

"Welcome everyone to the famous Emirates Stadium in London, England. Now we are bringing you a focus battle in this season's Champions League group stage. Also in Group F, the Premier League giants Arsenal encountered last season's Champions League runner-up, from the Bundesliga Dortmund. Arsenal want to end their embarrassing eight years without a championship with a historic championship. Dortmund wants to sweep away the decline and continue to complete the dream that was not completed last season. Under this premise, the two The team has to come out of this group of death."

"Currently in this group, Arsenal has won two consecutive victories and temporarily ranks No.1 in the group with a six-point advantage. If they can repel the Hornets at their home court tonight, then they will qualify. The initiative is almost in their hands. The life of Dortmund and Naples is not easy. They currently have three points, but Dortmund temporarily ranks second with the advantage of goal difference, and Naples condescends to third. Of course , the saddest thing is actually the French powerhouse Marseille, because so far they have not scored a point, and they are at the bottom with zero points. This is obviously not good news for them. If there is no progress, they may be the first The team that got knocked out from this death group."

"Okay, the players from both sides have already played, and now I will report the starting list of both sides. For the visiting team Dortmund, the goalkeeper is Weidenfeller, the No. [-] main player, and the two central defenders are Greek central defender Papado, who joined this summer. Hummels, who is partnered by Prouss, is the German national team partner on the two full backs, Piszczek is paired with Schmelzer. In the midfield, Dortmund is paired with a three-midfield configuration, and Sven Bender appears In the position of the midfielder, Gundogan partnered with Turkish midfielder Shaheen in the midfield. On the front line, Royce and Gross Kreuz divided the two sides, and the center was the main center Polish Lewandowski. "

"Dortmund's main central defender, the Serbian Subotic, failed to enter the squad for this game due to injury. Can Papadopoulos, who replaced him, withstand Arsenal's attack? We will wait and see. Gotze switched to his arch-enemy Bayern After Munich, Dortmund bought the Armenian attacking midfielder Mkhitaryan to replace him, and at the same time introduced Aubameyang, the top scorer in the French Cup last season, to strengthen his strength, but neither of them won the game. I don’t know if they will come off the bench next time. It’s worth mentioning that Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang both scored goals in the Bundesliga and German Cup after joining Dortmund, but in the Champions League. Nothing has been accomplished yet.”

"For Arsenal, the goalkeeper is naturally the main Polish goalkeeper Szczesny. The center back is the Gunners captain Vermaelen and the French international Koscielny. On the side is the Spanish left back Monreal and the French black Sassa on the right. Nia. In the midfield, the vice-captain Arteta partnered with Wilshere, who is known as the future captain of Arsenal. The "little threat" Wilshere. The attacking midfielder did his part to set a record for the Gunners with a value of 5000 million euros from Real Madrid this summer. The core of the German midfielder is Mesut Ozil, the winger is the Spaniard Cazorla who is partnered with the German international Podolski, and the forward is the talented Chinese striker Li Zihan who came from the giant Juventus this summer for 2000 million euros!"

"Because in the round of the league a few days ago, central defender Modesat was off due to injury, so he didn't even make the substitute list for this game. It seems that his injury is not serious. And this season was not in the beginning of the season. The Belgian central defender Vermaelen should be a ticking time bomb for Arsenal. Wenger is also incompetent and can only trust his captain again. I don’t know whether Vermaelen will live up to the professor’s trust in this game. Anyway, the central defenders of the reserve team are not as good as Vermaelen who is not in form, and the professor is no one to use."

"As soon as Ozil came to Arsenal, he quickly integrated into the team and Wenger's tactical system. This is also Wenger's signing. Most of them are whether this player is suitable for Arsenal's system. There is no doubt that Arsenal has made money from Ozil's deal. The German has gained something not long after he arrived, not to mention that he is only 24 years old. This also shows that Wen Of course, it may also have something to do with the club owner’s reluctance to spend money.”

"Speaking of the profit and loss of signings, Arsenal definitely made a lot of money from Li Zihan's deal. Two thousand euros bought a 19-year-old genius, last season's Serie A silver boots and the double winner of the assist king , if Li Zihan scores another goal, he will be the top scorer in Serie A. Except for the adaptation period when he just came to Arsenal, Li Zihan's performance is remarkable. After that, he completely exploded. He used his actions It proves who is the hottest talented young striker in Europe at present. At present, Li Zihan has gained a lot for Arsenal in the league and the Champions League. He scored goals in the previous two rounds of group matches to help Arsenal win. And Will he score in this game and secure a three-point home win for Arsenal? Let's see."

There are a total of three focus battles in this round of the group stage. AC Milan played against Barcelona at home yesterday, and Real Madrid, which started at the same time today, ushered in Serie A giants Juventus at the Bernabeu, as well as this match between Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund.Because of Marseille's incompetence, their group of death's home game against Naples did not get much attention.

So almost half of Europe's eyes are focused on the match between Arsenal and Dortmund. Everyone is looking forward to who will win the match between Mars and Earth.

Even before the game started, the singing in the Arsenal stands never stopped. The supporters cheered for the team in this way.The 5 fans of the visiting team who came from afar couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the singing of more than [-] Arsenal fans.

After the players from both sides went through the necessary ceremony, the game officially started.

Dortmund in the away game got the kick-off right. After the ball was kicked out, the Hornets did not rush to attack directly.Instead, let the ball know how to do it and look at the situation first.

Arsenal also did not carry out a fierce high-position press, as long as the ball does not pass the center line, the Arsenal players will stand in a good position.If the opponent has the intention of passing the ball through the center line, they will immediately press up and press.

The frontcourt was left to Li Zihan alone to disrupt the situation.

Shaheen received the ball, and when he saw Li Zihan coming up, he immediately distributed the ball to Gross Kreutz on the wing. After coming up, pass the ball again to Sven Bender in the midfielder position.

After Sven Bender saw Li Zihan rushing over aggressively, he hit the ball again to Gundogan who was responding.

Li Zihan is not stupid, he stopped chasing the ball when he saw the ball was passed, and observed the situation on the spot for a while.

"At the beginning of the match, neither side was in a hurry to attack. This is how masters fight. Don't be impulsive. Patiently observe each other's every move. If you find a flaw, you can directly press on it. Isn't it always written like this in novels? Two peerless masters confront each other. Fighting, not fighting for a long time, the two sides just stare at each other so closely, just like Arsenal and Dortmund now, both sides are still looking at each other's weaknesses." In the end, Uncle Zhan Jun, who couldn't stand it anymore, couldn't help complaining.
