Chapter 323: Expand the score and stay in the Champions League

Schneiderlin distributed the ball to the full-back who stepped up to assist in the midfield. The full-back looked at the frontcourt and knew that time was running out. He planned to use the last point to play a quick attack. He had already seen the center forward. Osvaldo's running position.

Lifting his foot, he was about to pass the high ball at a 45-degree angle. The experienced Rosicky hadn't moved, but at this moment he suddenly approached.The moment the full-back raised his foot, he came in front of him, and the full-back who couldn't hold back could only continue to pass the ball strongly.

As soon as Rosicky stretched out his feet, he blocked the ball with his thigh before it reached a certain height.Then with a poke, it was sent to the feet of Flamini who came to the wing to support him.Southampton's right back, unable to grasp his balance, fell back and fell to the ground.

The Saints Southampton full-back knew that the conceded goal was his responsibility and saw that Flamini had already got the ball.Knowing that he has no chance to fight back, he is also smart, and immediately raised his hand to the referee to signal the opponent to push the foul first.

Who is Weber?First of all, even if Rosicky has a pushing action in his hand, according to the magnitude of this action, Weber's style will not call a foul.Secondly, he was not very far away, and he could clearly see that Rosicky didn't foul at all during the whole process.

Seeing his teammate steal the ball, Wilshere immediately went from the attacking midfielder to the forward position.He began to run obliquely to signal Flamini to pass the ball to himself. Of course, the central defender in front of him did not dare to be careless and followed him to defend cautiously, while Schneiderlin tried to find an opportunity to pass Flamini behind Wilshere. Nee's pass to Wilshere is intercepted early.

Flamini looked at the same frontcourt, and then immediately passed the ball.It's just that he didn't pass the pass to Wilshere, who was active in running, but passed to the gap between the two central defenders, Lovren and Fonte, who were far away from Wilshere.

Li had already started running when Flamini kicked off, and the previous position was originally retreated, in order not to be disturbed by the opponent's midfielder.Now Li Zihan's position is equivalent to a midfielder, and Wilshere in front of him is equivalent to a false nine.

There is no suspicion of offside in such a running position, because there are central defender Lovren and midfielder Wanyama in front of Li Zihan.And the position of the pass was also pointed out by him to Flamini implicitly, and the experienced Flamini certainly knew that this gap could be used, and last season he was Li Zihan's opponent, this season He is Li Zihan's teammate again, so of course he has a good understanding of Li Zihan's abilities and technical characteristics.

Li Zihan stepped in and caught Wanyama by surprise. In the end, the black midfielder did not form a close press and successfully bypassed his defensive area with speed.

After rushing past the opponent's midfielder at high speed, Li Zihan successfully got the ball in this gap.The Croatian central defender Lovren was very smart. Seeing Li Zihan increase his speed to the highest, he knew that he would not be able to catch the ball before Li Zihan to clear the siege, so he immediately retreated to the front of the penalty area and waited for Li Zihan to attack by himself.He obviously has the confidence to judge that Li Zihan will go directly to the middle. If Li Zihan goes to the side, he will encounter Luke Shaw's difficulties, and will eventually fall into the embarrassing situation of being flanked by himself and Lu Luke Xiao.

His guess was completely correct. After Li Zihan took the ball, he ran straight to the middle.At this time, Li Zihan, who was about to enter the free throw arc, inevitably slowed down a little, because he was afraid that he would not seize the opportunity to shoot, and instead rushed to the bottom line too fast, and it would be bad for him to shoot or pass. Chance.

Lovren fully grasped the opportunity, saw that Li Zihan's speed had dropped slightly, and immediately followed to try to destroy the ball.

Li Zihan stepped into the penalty area and swiped the ball to the right in front of Lovren, about to dribble.Lovren's center of gravity is left and right, and if he wants to block Li Zihan's position, of course it would be better if he can steal the wrecking ball.

However, Li Zihan's feet were very flexible, and he suddenly dunked the ball back and passed it directly. Li Zihan took the ball to the right of Lovren and was already facing the goalkeeper alone.

The opportunity never came again, and without giving Lovren a chance to adjust, Li Zihan shot directly a little ahead of the penalty spot.

Li Zihan, who had already noticed that the goalkeeper Boruc was in the position, did not hit a ball in the middle of the ball stupidly, but a push shot with the instep of his right foot, and the ball quickly rolled against the grass to the right corner of the goal.

Boruc made a judgment and immediately fell to the ground to make a save, but Li Zihan shot from a tricky angle, the ball hit the inside of the goalpost and rolled directly into the goal.

"Mei! Open! Two! Speed!! Li——Zihan!!"

"At the end of the first half, Li Zihan scored twice and scored another goal for Arsenal. Now the score is [-]-[-]. Arsenal are leading in terms of both the scene and the score."

"Although this goal is a manifestation of Li Zihan's personal ability, it is undeniable that [-]% of the credit should be attributed to Flamini and Wilshere, and Wilshere's active movement It directly took away the opponent's two defensive players. If the ball keeps the defensive midfielder Schneiderlin and the central defender Fangte in their positions, it will be quite unfavorable for Li Zihan. And Flamini passed the ball with a heart It directly penetrated Southampton's defense, and with Li Zihan's second goal, Arsenal expanded their lead."

"Terrible Lee, this is his second goal of the game, and it only took half time. Although Southampton's defensive tactics in the first half made him uncomfortable, it also prevented him from getting good opportunities. But in the After adapting to the opponent's tactic, Li immediately opened fire. This is already his ninth goal in the league this season, averaging one goal per game with a terrifying efficiency!!"

Wanyama crossed his hips, looking regretfully at Li Zihan celebrating his goal and a certain Arsenal player.When Li Zihan started quickly, he had the opportunity to stop the opponent with a foul.But considering that he had a yellow card on his back, it is very likely that he will be sent off, and Li Zihan's free kick skills also impressed him.

In view of whether to foul or not to foul, Wanyama hesitated a little bit, and it was exactly [-] second of his own hesitation that Li Zihan used his speed to break through his area without the ball, and When he wanted to foul, there was no chance.

When Wanyama turned around and chased back, he saw that there was no teammate behind him, and was directly led out of a large space by Wilshere.

The celebration of Arsenal's second goal took a little longer, and Li Zihan, Wilshere and others went to the stands to interact with the fans.

When they finished celebrating the goal, the fourth official on the sidelines issued a sign for 1 minute of stoppage time, which was obviously just a symbolic stoppage time.

And Southampton wanted to launch a quick attack after the kick-off, Lallana passed the ball to the midfielder Schneiderlin, Schneiderlin took a little control, and then directly passed the high ball.

Osvaldo began to run, but he was the only one in the center position, and Arsenal's Koscielny and Vermaelen formed a pincer attack on him.

In the end, the Saints' long pass attack was not completed, the ball was pushed down by Koscielny, and then the full-back Gibbs received the ball, and Gibbs made a big clearance directly.

The ball flew high, and finally flew out of the bottom line from a position near the midfield line.

The referee Weber obviously did not intend to continue stoppage time. This time happened to reach the No. 407 minute of the game, and the bald head blew the halftime whistle.

The Arsenal players were elated and walked into the dressing room celebrating each other.In stark contrast was the collective silence of the Southampton players.

The 15 minutes of the half-time break passed quickly in the commentator's summary and comments, as well as the director's collection of highlights and some commercials "joining in the fun".

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. The lagging Southampton did not make substitutions, but the leading Arsenal began to make substitutions.

Li Zihan, who scored twice in the first half, went off, and the French high center came on.

"This is a match-up substitution. Wenger should be saving his strength for the Champions League in the middle of next week. Now Arsenal's striker is basically counting on Li Zihan, and Giroud can still play in the rotation. And whether Li Zihan arrives It’s no problem to help teammates tear apart the opponent’s defense from the side, or to play as a striker in the middle. Therefore, Wenger reserved a striker with a very high scoring efficiency for their opponents in the next round of the Champions League, Naples, so that Li Zihan’s state Keep it a little bit, and at the same time, it is to ensure that otherwise he is injured, and he can show his power in the next game."

"The opponent in the game next week is Li Zihan's old opponent, Naples from Serie A. Although Naples' starting 11-man roster has changed a lot this season, Li Zihan should still be handy against his old opponent."

"At this time, Southampton's head coach Pochenotti should be scolding his mother. I knew that the difficult Li would go down, so I made an adjustment myself."

Although Arsenal replaced Li Zihan, the speed of attack did not drop much.The sideline fast horse teenager Chamberlain took over Li Zihan's job and was responsible for using speed to assault the opponent's defense.After Giroud came up, Arsenal's frontcourt also increased in height. You must know that without Giroud and Podolski on the court, Arsenal would not be able to hit high balls. Although they rarely hit high balls.

When the game went on for 5 minutes, Southampton began to make substitutions and adjustments.Jay Enrique Rodriguez came on, replacing Wanyama who had received a yellow card in the holding midfielder position.

"Remove a defensive midfielder and replace it with a center forward. The Saints are planning to give it a go. Play a double center tactic and use height to attack Arsenal's defense. After all, it is difficult for Southampton to beat Arsenal in a positional battle. accept."

"It's not too early to work hard at this time, because they are two goals behind now. The longer the time drags on, the worse it will be for them. Moreover, Lee, who is the most threatening on the Arsenal pitch, has gone down, which is also true for Southampton's defense. This is good news, so Wanyama, who received a yellow card and is not very capable of assisting, became the primary substitution target."
