Chapter 286 : This is Highbury!

In the second half, the two sides changed sides to fight again, and Arsenal obviously put their offensive focus on the wing.

Cazorla retracted a little bit, giving way to Sagna who inserted the space from the wing.Sagna once again carried forward the true qualities of a guard with a knife, directly dribbling the ball and breaking through the sideline.When Gross Kreutz stepped up and down, he was barely dodged by the black French man.

Facing Schmelzer coming up, Sagna did not continue to break through with the ball, but handed the ball to Cazorla who was supporting him.Cazorla knocked the ball and handed it to Li Zihan who was pulling from the middle to the side.

Li Zihan stopped the ball with his chest and wanted to turn around and attack.However, the opposing player behind him arrived here, and with a slight head tilt, he caught sight of Sven Bender's young face.

Li Zihan put his elbow against him, otherwise he would stretch out his foot and poke the ball.Then the right shoulder sinks, making a feint to break through from the right.But suddenly with a right foot hook, the ball flew high and flew over the heads of him and Sven Bender.Li Zihan took advantage of the situation and turned around and rushed from the left. Without any resistance from Sven Bender, he came to the opponent's back. With a lift of his foot, he easily unloaded the ball.

"Li Zihan!! He is so beautiful, his body is so flexible. Compared with him, Sven Bender is as stiff as a piece of wood, and Li Zihan easily passed him by."

As soon as Li Zihan turned around, he saw Hummels who had replaced him.After thinking for a while, Li Zihan decided to go to the bottom.As soon as he came to the bottom, Hummels arrived.Li Zihan raised his foot and passed the ball into the penalty area. Hummels couldn't block the pass, so it was worth raising his foot symbolically to block it.

The ball flew to the middle, and Podolski, who had already cut from the wing and turned into a center forward, took off to compete for the top.Of course, central defender Papadopoulos couldn't let the ball go and jumped at the same time as him.

At this time, Podolski's bounce was reflected, and he was slightly above the header.There is no time to think about it, so I take advantage of the situation and point my head—a header!
Weidenfeller took off and wanted to pick the ball, but the speed of the ball was relatively fast or his take-off height was not enough, and the ball slipped over his fingertips.

All the fans were looking forward to it, and the Arsenal fans stood up from their seats with excitement.

boom!
"Oh!" The fans sighed.

The ball hit the crossbar, and Dortmund narrowly escaped.

"The crisis is not over yet, Wilshere!!!"

The ball bounced back to the penalty area, and Wilshere, who had been under the cover of Podolski, suddenly came out at this time.Facing the flying ball, he swung his foot and made a supplementary shot.

The ball flew towards Dortmund's goal for the second time in three seconds, and the Hornets fans were nervous again.

Weidenfeller, who had just made a save and landed, saw the ball flying again as soon as he stood firm, and didn't have time to think about it.Immediately made a second save, a lateral side throw, stretching his limbs in the air, showing his largest defensive area.

"Oh" the Arsenal fans sighed in wonder and regret for the second time.

Weidenfeller saved Wilshere's supplementary shot and missed the bottom line. In a hurry, he failed to hold the ball, but the ball hit him and flew out of the bottom line.

"Weidenfeller!! This ball can be saved!! It's really in good shape. Wilshere's supplementary shot was quite sudden, but it still failed to break through the ten fingers of the German goal. But Arsenal It's not for nothing, at least get a chance to attack from a corner kick."

Wilshere's corner kick went straight to Vermaelen in the penalty area.

Vermaelen, who wanted to reward his merits and atone for his crimes, headed for the top, and the ball hit it.But the strength was not well grasped, the top was too high, and the ball flew directly out of the goal crossbar.

Although the attack did not slow down, Vermaelen, who had made a mistake before, failed to score the atoning header.But Arsenal's supporters did not blame him and gave warm applause one after another.

This is Arsenal fans, they will not go for a certain player.When something goes wrong with the team, they are all directly "accountable" Wenger, even though the old man is almost the founder of Arsenal becoming a giant.If there is a problem with the club, the fans will go to the CEO or chairman of the Arsenal club to protest.

After landing, Vermaelen buried his head deeply on the ground, like an ostrich with no face, and seemed to be blaming himself.

The captain of the Gunners could almost smell the grass on the grass of one of the best stadiums in Europe. After hearing the applause of the fans, Vermaelen raised his head, trotted towards the backcourt, and clapped his hands to thank fan.

Dortmund fans started singing and cheering for their team, as Dortmund fell into the rhythm of being beaten by their owners Arsenal at the beginning of the second half.The "honey" of the Hornets hope to use this method to call on the team to attack and give the opponent a little color.

At home, Dortmund's crazy 8 people have always used this method to cheer for their team.And they also brought this habit to the away game. Of course, this is also the habit of almost all team fans.
This undoubtedly angered nearly 5 Arsenal fans at the scene.

Damn, do you know where this is?As long as your 3000 people dare to be at Highbury (the Gunners fans still call their stadium Highbury in private and in slogans, the Emirates Stadium is a sponsor unless it is in public and to guide outsiders, just like Dortmund I have always called my stadium the Westfalen Stadium instead of the Iduna Signal Park Stadium) Arrogant?

"If I were a bullet,
galloping in the mid-air of Highbury,
I must know my direction

— go, go, go,

Point directly at the enemy's chest. "

"Don't care about the confusion in the past,

Ignoring the enemy's obstruction,
I won't be sad for no reason

—Fly, fly, fly,
——Gunshot, I have my direction! "

"Flying passionately at Highbury,

and identified the abode of the enemy,
Waiting for them to put their guns on the target,

At that time I used my usual calmness,
Resolutely, stabbing at his madness,

into his proud heart.

— bang, bang, bang,

—Ah, the scent of gun-smoke on him! "

Arsenal supporters deliberately put accents on words such as "chongchong", "chest", "direction", "stab", "arrogant", "heart", "bang bang bang" to remind opponents , don't be too arrogant, this is Highbury, the territory of the musketeers, if you dare to be arrogant, we dare to "shoot".

How can Dortmund's mere 3000 people be the opponent of Arsenal's 5 people?In less than five seconds, the audience was filled with the singing of Arsenal fans, and the huge cannon flag was waved by the fans in the wind.The Hornet fans could only look at each other unwillingly, then ignored them, and sang their own songs on their own.Although they knew that the players on the field could barely hear their singing, they did not give up on this seemingly "useless" behavior.

It's just that many Dortmund supporters have made up their minds. When they return to their home court in the next round, they must show these hateful Englishmen the roar of Westfalen, which is known as the craziest home court in Europe. .

Needless to say, after hearing the exciting singing of the fans, the Arsenal players played even more impeccably.

At least Vermaelen didn't make any mistakes and didn't give the opponent any chance.

Royce made a one-two with Piszczek on the sideline, and then cut inside to the middle.Vermaelen didn't hesitate, he stepped forward to intercept it seemingly recklessly, but he had his own deep meaning.

Watching Vermaelen rush out, Royce did not rush to dunk the opponent, nor did he pass the ball.Instead, he waited for the Belgian central defender to come over, not worried at all.

Royce has already thought about it, put the ball closer to the opponent, and then use his flexibility and speed to break through the opponent's defense.If there is no chance to break through, just spend time with him.Vermaelen's patience is the best if the energy consumption is exhausted. Anyway, Royce has nothing to fear if there is a yellow card on the opponent.

Vermaelen didn't think as much as Royce thought. He just slid and shoveled, and the fast Royce didn't even have time to react.By the time Royce wanted to pass the ball to Mkhitaryan who was responding in the middle, it was too late, and Vermaelen's feet were already touching the ball under his feet.

No accident, the ball was stabbed by Vermaelen.Royce was brought to the ground, and he raised his hand to signal a foul.Of course, he knew in his heart that the opponent was the first to tackle the ball. It was a beautiful defense without any fouls, but this did not affect his interference with the referee's judgment.

Obviously the Dutch referee was not fooled and signaled the game to continue.

And taking advantage of this time, Vermaelen has quickly got up from the ground and rushed to the ball not far away.Because Royce was far away from the ball and misled the referee by raising his hand before, he did not get up before Vermaelen to grab the ball.

But Shaheen who came up was not in a daze. He also started from the opposite side of Vermaelen and rushed towards the ball. This scene was overlooked by the high-altitude camera, just like a scene of two dragons playing with pearls.

Vermaelen is not far from the ball, much closer than Sahin.So he came to the front of the ball one step ahead, and the opponent also arrived just after he arrived.Vermaelen flicked the ball to the side, narrowly avoided Shaheen's tackle, and then kicked the ball to Arteta not far from the middle.

Arteta took a look after receiving the ball, okay, Mkhitaryan in the middle hadn't retreated back in time, and Shaheen went to a place near the side to find Vermaelen to "fuck it", and he was able to do so in time. return.At this time, the opponent's midfield is almost empty, with only one midfielder, Sven Bender.

Without hesitation, the Gunners deputy team rolled the ball vigorously and passed the ball to Wilshere's feet in the frontcourt, ready to launch a counterattack.
