Chapter 335: The initiative to qualify
"Li Zihan's shot in front of the goal gave Arsenal a chance. At the end of the first half, Arsenal temporarily lead [-]-[-] at home. In another game in this group, Dortmund ended the first half in stoppage time At that time, the score was pulled back, and now the two sides are one to one. If this score continues until the midfield, then for Dortmund they can only play in the UEFA Cup. If Dortmund want to advance, they must win in the second half. Goal, and finally won the game, and then the three teams compare the goal difference with each other. Dortmund still has a huge advantage, but this result is obviously not good for Naples. Although as of now, their goal difference is two one and Arsenal three."

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. The game had just started 5 minutes, and when Arsenal was still passing and receiving the ball to find cooperation, the news of the game came again.Royce scored to help Dortmund overtake the score.

This news undoubtedly stimulated Arsenal. If Dortmund wins, the three teams will have [-] points, and the goal difference must be compared.As far as Arsenal's goal difference is two higher than that of Naples, there should be no crisis of qualifying.But. At this time, Arsenal thought more after the crisis was gone.For example, the team is the first to qualify?

But think about it, Dortmund's current goal difference of six goals makes Arsenal feel a little bit disappointed.Because I only have three goal difference on my side now, if I want to be the first in the group, I have to take the opportunity to score at least four goals in Marseille.

This is the basis for Dortmund not scoring goals in the following games, but Dortmund can't let go of the offense, because a goal lead is the most unsafe thing on this planet, because it is easy to boost the morale of the enemy. It was equalized, and if it was average, Dortmund would be eliminated.

But in any case, Arsenal is now completely light. Regardless of whether he has any hope of overwhelming Dortmund, anyway, just attack first.

Later Arsenal launched a strong offensive against Marseille, and Marseille was not stupid.Seeing this posture, he knew that the opponent wanted to swipe his stats on him, and anyway, he had no hope of qualifying or playing in the UEFA Cup. Anyway, he would lose, so it's better to lose more beautifully.

Also get through Ren Du's second channel. Well, Marseille, who also figured it out, began to retreat and defend.I stopped attacking and left a fast Ghanaian striker Andre Ayew in the frontcourt to counterattack. Even the No.
In the second minute, Li Zihan's long-range shot from outside the penalty area was saved by the goalkeeper. There was no chance for a supplementary shot, and the opponent's central defender Nkuru made a big clearance.

In 5 minutes, Podolski did not continue to advance after the inside cut, but chose to send it to the goal.Li Zihan's active running brought out a small gap. Ozil then inserted and hit the goal, but it hit the thigh of the player who was defending intensively in front of the goal. Ramsey followed up with a supplementary shot but shot high and flew out. beam.

In 8 minutes, Walcott made a strong breakthrough from the sideline, and Sagna's assist behind him gave him enough support.After the inside cut, Walcott did not immediately seek the support of his teammates when he encountered a strong opponent's defense, but directly kicked and hit the goal strongly.The goalkeeper Mandanda didn't even make a save due to the bad shot. Obviously, the black French goalkeeper has judged that the ball is not threatening at all.

No. 60 minutes, veteran Flamini off, replaced by a more threatening "little threat" - Jack Wilshere.

The young England talented midfielder is undoubtedly a new force on the field at this time. His passing and full running should be able to pose a huge threat to Marseille.Moreover, Wilshere has a keen sense of smell in front of the goal, and he cooperates with his teammates very well.

Sure enough, five minutes after Wilshere played, Arsenal launched a very threatening attack.Walcott once again used his speed to eat the opponent's full-back raw on the sideline, and then handed the ball to Ozil who was pulled out from the center when the opponent's midfielder came to make up for the defense.Ozil immediately split sides, and Podolski once again formed a bottom on the left.

Then Podolski, who reached the bottom line on the edge of the penalty area, made an inverted triangle pass. Li Zihan received the ball at the close corner, but the opponent's tight blocking and his position prevented him from shooting much.Li Zihan didn't delay for a second. Knowing that he had no chance, he knocked the ball with his heel, and unexpectedly passed the ball behind his heel, and the penalty kick was missed to the left.

With a tacit understanding, Wilshere directly caught up with the fallen and shot with a sliding shovel, before the opponent's central defender wanted to make a clearance.

The goalkeeper Mandanda was not well prepared and failed to save the ball, but the ball slipped past the goal regrettably.

Wilshere gave Li Zihan and Podolski a thumbs up, indicating that they did a very good job with the ball, but he didn't score due to his own problem. He took a deep breath in annoyance, gritted his teeth and turned around.

Li Zihan sighed, and looked up at the night sky, feeling like looking at the sky speechlessly.

"It's not Marseille that's fighting Arsenal today, it's luck and God!!!"

No. 70 minutes, Walcott, who was quite active on the sideline during this period, seized the opportunity again. This time, Sagna sent a long pass in the backcourt.Walcott started at high speed and received the ball behind the opponent's midfielder.

Facing the defense coming up from the fullback, Walcott pretended to speed up and wanted to use his speed to eat his opponent raw again. After the opponent was fooled, he suddenly stopped suddenly and cut inside to go inside.Marseille's French full-back Fontaine, as a 32-year-old veteran, is obviously inferior to the young tiger in terms of flexibility. Seeing that the opponent swayed away, he was about to get rid of it. In a hurry, he grabbed the opponent's jersey .

Walcott, who was pulled by his jersey, didn't fall to the ground and asked the opponent for a foul. Instead, he went directly to the ball, and then accelerated to rush over.

Fontaine watched the opponent pass the ball, and flew across with a sideways kick, trying to stop the ball before Walcott made it.

It's just that he was a little slow in his kicks as he was not young. In the end, the ball failed to intercept, but Walcott was brought down with a scissor kick.

The little tiger fell to the ground in pain, screamed, rolled around twice, and hugged his feet.

Ozil, who was the nearest, immediately came up to check the situation, and the referee who was not far away saw all this and stopped the game immediately.

Podolski rushed forward and pushed away the perpetrator Fontaine who wanted to express his friendship, obviously not accepting the other party's apology.

Li Zihan and Wilshere went forward to negotiate with the referee.

"Sir, that was an obvious bad foul. Our player was brought down by the opponent without the ball, and went straight to the ankle. This should be a red card." Li Zihan said to the referee.

And Wilshere added: "I was very close. This must be an intentional bad foul. The opponent should pay the price. Look at the painful expressions of our players on the ground now."

Wilshere has more experience than Li Zihan in communicating with referees. He knows that referees hate being told directly or asked to show him a red card, so he doesn't ask for a red card by name. give something.It implies that there is no price to pay for such fouls, and then the subsequent games will be difficult to control.

The referee pointed to his own eyes, indicating that he could see clearly and knew what was going on.Then Wei Wei pushed away Li Zihan, Wilshere and the Marseille players who came up to intercede, and came to the "scene of the crime" to check Walcott's injuries.

Soon under the inspection of the Arsenal team doctor, it was determined that Walcott was unable to continue the game. The team doctor made a substitution and a stretcher off the field.

"Fontaine's foul shouldn't have happened. Anyway, the game has come to this point, so what if you let Walcott pass by? Besides, there are so many defensive teammates in front of the goal, and the opponent may not be able to do it after entering." Goals. Besides, anyway, you have nothing to desire, and you conceded a lot of goals, so you shouldn’t adopt such a ‘destructive’ tactic for a goal that doesn’t have much impact on your team!”

Soon, Walcott was carried off the field on a stretcher, and his teammates came up to comfort the young player. Li Zihan even joked that when the game was over and Arsenal successfully advanced to the knockout round, they would go for a drink together. , and then the brothers face the upcoming Christmas battle together.

Walcott just smiled wryly at Li Zihan, this smile was no better than crying.

Apparently Walcott already had a premonition that the injury would not get better so soon.

It's just that he didn't know that the injury this time required a very, very long recovery process.

Cazorla immediately played passively, Arsenal continued their offensive, and were not satisfied with the score of [-]-[-].

No.80 In two minutes, Li Zihan made a breakthrough from the sideline.Then a high ball passed from the bottom, Podolski took off to compete for the top, but Nkulu's header did not hit the goal, but a ferry to the back point.Cazorla, who had just played, received the ball at the back point. Marseille's defense line has been "messy" by Arsenal's various ball transfers.

Cazorla assumed a shooting posture, tricking the goalkeeper Mandanda to block the near corner, and the midfielder came up to interfere with the Spaniard's shot, and the other central defender went to block the far corner on the route from the ball to the goal. Unexpectedly.

But Cazorla obviously intends to hit the goal directly and forcefully, but relieved his force and passed the ball skillfully to the middle.Wilshere and Ramsey's forward runs at the same time have made Marseille's dense defense overwhelmed.

Ozil actually received the ball in the neutral position, and naturally hit the goal unceremoniously.

Ozil's shooting route is in the center instead, because the shift from left to right has already made Marseille's defensive focus on the side, and the running positions of Wilshere and Ramsey make the defense in the center even more There is a gap.

The ball flew into the goal without any interference. Nkulu stretched out his feet to block the ball, but the embarrassing central defender's height of 1.8 meters made his feet doomed not to be able to stretch long. After all, not everyone is Mordsart.
"Two to zero!!! All the suspense is killed!!! Arsenal will win! The problem of qualifying should not be too big, because their goal difference has once again expanded by one. Now let's look at the Westfalen Stadium. Congratulations to Arsenal, congratulations to the Gunners who followed them, now they have the initiative to qualify in their own hands, although they are likely to lose to Dortmund, the hornet, in terms of goal difference, and rank second Two, but!! From such a perverted death to not being able to qualify in the dead group, it is a kind of victory!!!!"
