Chapter 311: Yellow and Black Wall

"Okay, now the game has officially started. Arsenal's starting roster has not changed much. Wenger has done his best! We came to the midfielder Flamini and Arteta to sit on the bench. On the bench, Wilshere and Ramsey are the starting partners, and Gibbs on the back line, Walcott on the winger, and Li Zihan on the forward line, Wenger This is intended to use young people to attack Dortmund. It is worth mentioning that there are a lot of speed players. It looks like Wenger is not playing conservatively in the away game. Before the game, many media thought that Arsenal would play. It is a defensive counterattack, but this lineup is completely in the rhythm of attacking to the end. Moreover, Flamini, Cazorla, veteran Rosicky and high center Giroud on the bench are also ready to go, allowing Wenger to react to different situations. Make arrangements." Uncle Zhan Jun said.

"On Dortmund's side, because they faced the strong team Stuttgart and the deadly enemy Schalke [-] in the league before, the Hornets also consumed a lot. Although they scored nine goals in two games, they only conceded two goals. But they It also paid a big price. The defensive general central defender Subotic's old injury, the midfielder's core Gundogan's meniscus fracture, and the two-dollar loss in a row also put a lot of pressure on Dortmund. The injuries of substitute Kyle and central midfielder Kuba also greatly reduced their bench thickness." Huang Jianxiang said.

"Now the game between the two sides has officially started, Arsenal kicked off first. Oh, wait, what is that?"

The camera panned to the South Stand of the Westfalenstadion, where Dortmund's real supporters gather. Behind the goal without seats is the position of Dortmund's No.12.

A giant canvas is slowly pulled up by the fans, and the fans are below the canvas, sending the canvas to the highest level of the stands bit by bit, until the entire canvas covers the entire stand.
The image of a cup with big ears is printed in the middle of the upper part of the canvas, and at the bottom, a cartoon-shaped child looks at the fierce bumblebee flying in the air by the river, and his legs are weak in fright.A note floating in the river with £150 million written on it
"Oh interesting. The huge cartoon of Dortmund fans is directed at Li Zihan. We all know that Li Zihan bought a lottery ticket worth 150 million pounds before the game. The content is that Arsenal will take away an away victory. But Dortmund fans used such a humorous way to fight back. The general idea of ​​the cartoon illustration should be that the child was walking by the river with a huge sum of money, and then a ferocious hornet flew over that wanted to sting. A huge sum of 150 pounds was thrown into the river. The summary is-'Li Zihan, your 150 million pounds is destined to go to waste.'”

"It seems that the fans of Dortmund are very confident. It is not the first time that the entire stand is covered by posters like this. It is not the first time that Dortmund is at the Westfalenstadion. Just last season, the Champions League In the knockout round, when Dortmund played against La Liga team Malaga at home, Dortmund fans pulled out a pictorial of such a size. But the picture at that time was that the Hornet was looking at the Big Ear Cup with binoculars. The implication is that we Staring at the trophy. And now, the giant poster is back in the arena again, but it’s only three days since Li Zihan bought the lottery ticket. This time, the Dortmund fans raised enough funds for the poster so quickly.”

Of course, Li Zihan also noticed such a big movement. After looking at a giant canvas, Li Zihan knew what the other party meant, and Hanniang became angry instantly.

After Özil split the ball, Walcott received the ball on the sideline and wanted to cut inside, but Piszczek and Hoffman jointly guarded the only way for him to cut inside.

The little tiger had no choice but to pass the ball, and passed the ball one and a half high to the middle.

Li Zihan, with his back to the attacking direction, is not sure about the ball, because he has Sven Bender and Papastathopoulos behind him.

Li Zihan's elbow was stuck on Sven Bender. Fortunately, this German midfielder is not a muscular violent man, otherwise Li Zihan might not be able to get him.

The chest unloaded the ball, and then stretched out smoothly to send the ball to Ozil in the midfielder position.Then he immediately turned around successfully, keeping some distance from Sven Bender.

At this time, Özil's return pass arrived, and after Li Zihan received the ball, he strode forward and was about to lead.

Podolski on the left immediately cut in from the sideline and raised his hand to ask for it. Schmelzer didn't dare to be careless and followed the opponent to cut in.Even if it is to give up the wing, at this time Gibbs decisively stepped up and filled the position of a winger.

Hummels, who was a little behind, thought that Li Zihan would also hand the ball to Podolski after taking two steps, so he instinctively moved his position slightly closer to Podolski's side. At the right time, if Li Zihan passed a ground ball, he would immediately rush up to slide the tackle, and shovel the ball to the middle before Podolski.

However, Li Zihan's action surprised everyone! !

I saw Li Zihan in the middle, and when he was seven or eight yards away from the penalty area line, he glanced at Podolski's position.Then he stepped on the rolling ball with his right foot, stopped the ball, and opened a slight arc with his left foot.

Hummels thought that Li Zihan was going to pass the ball, and immediately thought that the ball was approaching the pass that Podolski had seen in a straight line.Seeing Li Zihan stop, Papastathopoulos thought he had an opportunity, so he came over immediately to destroy the ball.

And Li Zihan did straighten his right leg right now.
Weidenfeller in front of the goal frowned, carefully observing the ball under Li Zihan's feet.According to his experience, Li Zihan's posture is not like passing the ball, but rather like accumulating energy before a long shot.It’s just that this long-range shot in winter is too obvious. Considering that Li Zihan often makes fake moves, Weidenfeller does not rule out that this is a fake shot.

Just as Papastathopoulos stretched out his foot trying to destroy the ball, Li Zihan had indeed kicked the ball out.Without concealing his purpose, the ball hesitated and flew towards the goal like a heavy artillery shell, and the ball flew out for a second before the Greek central defender's feet arrived.

"Li Zihan, do you want to pass? Shoot directly!!! WOW~~"

Seeing Li Zihan swung the ball out, Weidenfeller judged that the ball was hit in the middle and high.Jumping immediately, I straightened my hands, felt the speed and strength of the ball, and felt that I couldn't keep it. Instead of letting go and causing an accident, it's better to send a corner kick to the opponent.

So with his straight right hand, he pushed the ball out of the bottom line with a single palm.The ball left the palm of Weidenfeller's right hand and flew up to the stands.

The south stand behind him, that is, the diehard stand where the giant canvas appeared, just when the canvas was put away, the fans saw this scene and couldn't help but exclaim.
"A high-quality long-range shot!!! Weidenfeller lifted the ball out of the baseline with one hand, and Arsenal won a corner kick. Let's take a look at the slow motion of the ball again, because the ball is too fast. Li Zihan hit the ball and headed straight for the goal. He was so powerful that the ball didn't spin while flying in the air. Weidenfeller was very focused and held the ball out with one palm."

"What a surprising Li Zihan!! I have never heard of him having a high-quality long-range shot. In previous games, I have hardly seen him have a long-range shot, except for free kicks of course. There are often no chances, He will hand the ball to his teammates and wait for the support and cooperation of his teammates. I have never seen him shoot directly from a long distance. The ball is about 30 meters away from the goal? It is estimated that there are still 26 meters. I used to be in Juventus Back then, long-range shots were given to Pogba, Marchisio, and even Vidal. But now Arsenal, long-range shots are usually given to midfielders Ramsey, Flamini, Arteta Wait."

"Is this Lee's response to the Dortmund fans?"

"Li Zihan said, I told you to satirize me, and I won't show you some color. You don't know why Arsenal's jersey is so red." Uncle Zhan Jun dubbed Li Zihan jokingly.

In fact, it was really hit by the commentators. In fact, most of the reasons why Li Zihan chose to shoot long-range shots were to respond to the irony of Dortmund fans.

Li Zihan glanced leisurely at the stands behind Weidenfeller, without making any gestures or even lip-syncing words.He turned around lightly, leaving a chic back.

It was only when he turned around and took two or three steps towards the midfielder that he realized that the ball was thrown out of the baseline by Weidenfeller. This should be his own corner kick.

Li Zihan blushed, and turned around in embarrassment to the periphery of the restricted area to provide support.

"Hahaha, what does Li Zihan mean?" Huang Jianxiang also said with a smile.

"Damn it, did this kid learn such a violent long-range shot in time? High-quality and powerful, can he kick it out of his small body?" Klopp cursed secretly in his heart.

Immediately Klopp attributed this situation to an accident, thinking that Li Zihan's character exploded by accident.

In fact, Li Zihan actually has a long-range shot that can't be missed. Although it is not as "violent and pleasing to the eye" as Pogba, it is still good in terms of quality and accuracy.During Juventus, I learned the free kick of my master "Sleepy" Pirlo, how could I not learn from Pogba's long-range shot?
Moreover, Li Zihan himself has a good sense of goal, and he can almost find the position of the goal with every shot, just like the saying "Every good shooter has a goal in his heart!" Every shot is based on the position of the goal in mind.

So combined with Li Zihan's characteristics, when he was at Arsenal, Wenger also privately asked him to contact long-range shots.It's just that this training content was not included in Li Zihan's training plan, but asked him to contact the coach when he practiced in private, and to ask the coach if he had any questions.

Imagine too, since Wenger wants to shape Li Zihan's second position as an inward winger or an inside forward, of course he will give Li Zihan the long-range shooting ability, one of the biggest characteristics of the role of the inside forward.

What Li Zihan didn't know was that Wenger was still thinking about how to improve Li Zihan's header ability. Li Zihan's height of just over 1.8 meters is considered a pass, but his jumping ability is very strong, and he jumps very high.But the quality of the header is not as good as expecting him to shoot from long range.
