Chapter 321: Love is everywhere
"Li Zihan!!! Although the game went on for 10 minutes, he did not score a goal, but this amazingly talented young player still made a contribution!! His active return to defense was a long-range shot that Southampton was bound to win , Ward-Prowse hit the ball with impeccable strength and angle, but he met a Lee who had no solution!!"

"My God, how fast is he? I hope the Premier League can give a statistic. Li Zihan immediately ran back from the opponent's penalty area to defend the penalty area. It is almost a distance of one pitch. , and Southampton's offense is delivered quite quickly."

Li Zihan saw that the ball was blocked by him from the bottom line, he felt relieved, and then completely fell on the grass in the penalty area.

The cameras above the stadium immediately aimed at Li Zihan from a high altitude, looking down at Li Zihan who was lying in the penalty area. The fans could clearly see his chest rising and falling violently from the TV screen.

You can imagine how tired he was.

Szczesny slapped his gloved hands vigorously, then roared angrily, ran over and pressed on Li Zihan's body.

"Nice job! Li!" Szczesny pressed on his body excitedly, then held his cheek with his gloved hands, and kissed him on the forehead "affectionately".

Li Zihan's head was full of black lines: "."

Hanniang suddenly had the feeling that her teammates were very affectionate.
This scene was faithfully recorded by photographers. Many years later, people opened Arsenal's honor video album and watched how this generation of Arsenal players united and insisted on their belief in football.

"This picture is quite warm, hey, why didn't I feel the slightest sense of disobedience? Hahaha" Uncle Zhan Jun said jokingly: "This ball is really thrilling. Vermaelen decisively sold his teammates. The position blocked Szczesny's sight a lot, but when the ball came, he dodged sideways and pitted Szczesny severely. Of course, the ball cannot be entirely blamed on him. After all, the ball is quite powerful. If it hits the chest or abdomen, it is likely to be carried down by a stretcher. It's just that Li Zihan rushed over cleverly and changed the direction of the ball with his toes. If the ball hit him directly The words on his lap are probably enough for him to drink a pot."

Southampton's corner kick came out later, this time Vermaelen did not continue to make mistakes to trap his teammates.Instead, he made a resolute header to clear the siege, and the opponent's central defender Lovren's header fell through the air.

The plot of this game is like this. Arsenal attacked, and Southampton quickly returned to defend across the board.Then after stealing the ball, try to counterattack quickly, and if the ball is lost in the frontcourt, it will immediately form a high position press.

Generally speaking, Southampton's tactics were relatively successful, freezing Li Zihan, then defending and counterattacking across the board, and pressing the whole court.At least 8 minutes into the game, Arsenal still did not score at home.

It's just that they apparently forgot that besides Li Zihan, there are other excellent players in Arsenal's team.Last season and the last season, Arsenal, which has been criticized by fans as a poor lineup, has no Li Zihan and Ozil, and they have not missed the Champions League in such a highly competitive league as the Premier League.

Li Zihan moved on the sideline and took away one of the double midfielders, the black Wanyama.Flamini immediately took advantage of this gap to pass through to Rosicky who came from the middle. The experienced Rosicky shook the young Ward-Prowse to the ground, and then faced the French back The waist Schneiderlin came up to help defend.Veteran Rosicky set up a stance and prepared to shoot directly. When Schneiderlin flew over immediately, he jumped and stretched out his legs, trying to block Rosicky's shooting route.

But Rosicky did something for him, put down his shooting leg and turned the shot into a flick, and flicked the ball to the side.

Wilshere, who responded, took the ball and shot directly. The ball was not saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, but it flew out of the baseline by rubbing against the crossbar.

The fans at the scene let out an exclamation at the same time, obviously more regrettable.

Wilshere shook his head regretfully, then gave a thumbs up to Rosicky's pass, indicating that the ball was well done.

In the No.20 minute of the game, Arsenal continued to attack.Chamberlain raised his hand on the sideline without anyone watching, signaling to send a half-high ball behind the opponent, playing an offside.

Chamberlain made great moves, and was immediately spotted by full-back Luke Shaw, who was also in the Southampton youth training camp.Luke Shaw gave up helping Wanyama to defend Li Zihan, and ran over to look at Chamberlain. He knew that his former teammate Luke Shaw did not fight against the opponent during training, so he was quite familiar with Chamberlain’s technical characteristics. .

However, what he didn't expect was that Chamberlain raised his hand deliberately for him to see.When Luke Shaw saw Chamberlain raised his hand and saw Flamini, who was in possession of the ball, looking this way, he thought that the French midfielder would pass the ball to Chamberlain, who was in a better position.

Flamini passed the ball in the end, and he also saw the gesture pass.It's just that the ball was not given to Chamberlain, but to Li Zihan, who was blocked by Wanyama for 10 minutes.

Flamini saw Li Zihan secretly pointing to an empty spot behind him. Flamini didn't hesitate, and directly sent the ball to this spot.

Li Zihan blocked Wanyama with his left hand, and he quickly used his physical advantage to squeeze himself away.Then he quickly unloaded the ball with his right foot, but he didn't unload it completely when he controlled the ball every day.Instead, with a flick of his ankle, the half-high ball was delivered to Wilshere's feet behind him.

After Wilshere received the ball, he saw Li Zihan's eyes and understood.Made a sideline transfer to Rosicky's feint, but suddenly sent a through ball.

Li Zihan started immediately when Wanyama was not paying attention, with his left foot as a support point, and his right foot moved quickly.In the end, he rushed half a body away from the strong Wanyama. Even if Wanyama reacted, he pulled the opponent's jersey and turned around together, sticking tightly to the opponent's body.

Li Zihan accelerated again, and with a wave of his hand, he wanted to open the opponent's hand that was pulling the jersey.Central defender Lovren worried that Wanyama would not be able to guard against this little guy who is not small but has very slippery feet.

So he rushed up to intercept him immediately, and got stuck in front of Li Zihan.Wanyama stretched out his foot impatiently to poke the ball, but there was no way for the ball, so Li Zihan tripped over.

A stab in the back of the black man hit Li Zihan's ankle. Under the pain, Li Zihan couldn't maintain his balance, and finally fell to the ground with garlic mixed with his feet.

Wanyama is also smart, knowing that his foot did not touch the ball beforehand, but put it directly on the opponent.And the referee was not far away, clearly seeing this scene.So in order to give the referee a good impression, I want to get some "friendly points" so that the referee's penalty is slightly lighter.So the first time Li Zihan fell to the ground, he immediately reached out to pull him, and at the same time carefully patted Li Zihan's shoulder to show his friendship.

But Wanyama was obviously playing the piano against the cow, or maybe he made too many little moves. In the end, the referee couldn't stand it any longer. He blew his whistle immediately, and then trotted to Wanyama and showed him a yellow card directly. The action of the referee to give the card is quite firm.

Wanyama smiled wryly, and still helped Li Zihan up together with Wilshere, and then communicated with each other with a friendly apology.

At the very least, if you are forced to make a foul next time, the referee will not be resolute and directly issue a second yellow card. After all, I am still relatively friendly.

The black man thought carefully.

Li Zihan also kindly indicated that it doesn't matter, he could clearly feel that the other party took a lot of force when he guessed his ankle, otherwise he would not be able to stand up now, and there is a leg guard at that position, So it's okay.

"Thank you for the opportunity you gave!" Li Zihan finally said when Wanyama turned to leave.

Wanyama turned around and looked at Li Zihan suspiciously, apparently not understanding what Li Zihan meant.If you don't understand it, you simply don't want to, showing a pair of white teeth that are completely inversely proportional to the skin of all blacks: "This is the stadium, I can't give you any chance, even if it is a foul."

Then he trotted over to line up the wall immediately, and the referee gave Arsenal a direct free kick in the frontcourt.

"The position of this free kick is pretty good. It's a bit to the left of the center, about 25 meters away from the goal. In this position, Li Zihan with his right foot has a very good free kick to hit the goal directly. Look at this ball Who will take the penalty."

Li Zihan and Artat stood in front of the ball together, swayed the ball, and then observed the situation in the penalty area.

"Li Zihan starts with setting the ball. Under normal circumstances, whoever sets the ball will take the penalty. Moreover, Li Zihan's free kick technique was learned from the master-level Italian midfielder Pirlo, and he also learned art from Prince Baggio. .”

When the referee blew his whistle to signal that free throws could be started, Li Zihan took a deep breath, and then started a run-up with Arteta at the same time, but the difference was that he was about one and a half meters behind Arteta.

Arteta was first to the ball, but he slid past it and feinted.When Arteta ran past, Southampton's central defender on the wall wanted to take off, but was held back by the center Osvaldo next to him.

It's not the first time that Southampton's central defender has played against Arsenal, but he has to face at least twice every season, so in his impression, 80.00% of Arsenal's free kicks are punished by Arteta, so Just reflexively about to take off.

But Osvaldo is different. Although he only came to Southampton this summer, he played for the Serie A capital team Red Wolves Roma last season, so Li Zihan, the opponent, has inherited Pirlo's superb free kick skills. So he thought that the ball should be punished by Li Zihan.

Sure enough, Arteta just feinted a shot, and Li Zihan rushed over immediately, then put on a stance, and directly swung his feet to play the ball.

With a strong spin, the ball drew an arc, flew over the head of the wall, and then flew directly to Southampton's goal.

The speed of the ball is very fast, and its whereabouts are erratic, going up and down for a while.

"Elevator Ball!!!!"
