3Chapter 16: Substitution and comeback

"Then according to the rules of football, if the goalkeeper is injured, the game must be suspended. The game can only continue after the goalkeeper's injury has been treated, or it is confirmed that a substitution has been made."

Szczesny was fine. After getting up from the ground, the referee blew his whistle, and then pointed to the arc of the middle circle.

"Kick-off at midfield!! The goal is valid!! The referee Dodd believes that Manchester City's previous goal is valid, and now Arsenal is ready to kick-off!"

"Five to one!!! This is a crazy game, what can I say!! This game must be a big score where Mars hits the earth. Now the time is only half an hour away , the score should continue to be rewritten!!"

"The penalty of this ball is debatable, because David Silva did lift his foot too high in the penalty area when he shot, and his studs also stepped on Szczesny. It stands to reason that the goalkeeper is in the penalty area. The area of ​​the small penalty area should be absolutely protected, the ball can be blown away directly, even a yellow card is not an exaggeration, of course considering Manchester City’s home yellow card can also be saved.”

"The goal was awarded as valid? Dodd. This goal is three or seven goals instead of five or five goals. Although the opponent did not intend it, the degree of fouling has reached 70.00%! Anyway, Manchester City is four to one. Absolutely ahead, why do you want to be such a villain?"

Wenger rushed to the fourth official and said angrily to the fourth official: "This ball is actually effective? Since when did the goalkeeper not be protected in the small penalty area? You didn't see the deep blood on my player's chest. ? Didn’t you see the height at which the other party raised their feet?”

Although Wenger did not say some harsh sarcasm or directly curse like Mourinho, the dissatisfaction in the tone of the fourth official can be heard clearly.

"Sorry, Mr. Wenger. That's the truth, we respect what happened on the pitch, there was nothing wrong with David Silva's kick, it was him who kicked first and it was Szczesny himself. It's on his feet, and the other party has a protective action with bent hands and feet." The fourth official explained patiently.

"Is this also called a fact? The fact is that the opponent fouled and charged the goalkeeper. This should be an invalid goal."

"I'm really sorry sir, if there is any problem, you can appeal to the FA after the game."

"Appeal after the game? Hell, what's the use of it after Christmas is over?" Wenger turned around and waved his hands in dissatisfaction.

Pellegrini applauded off the court, and then gave the referee a thumbs up.

This is definitely not an ironic action, but feels very "fair" to the referee's penalty.

The supporters of Manchester City have now formed a crowd in the stands, entertaining themselves and celebrating the victory of a game in advance, even though there is still half an hour before the game.

Taking advantage of the kick-off opportunity, Arsenal began to make substitution adjustments.

"Arsenal started to make substitutions, and Li Zihan came on! Let's see who he replaced, Podolski on the wing, Cazorla, or Giroud on the counter? Although Li Zihan's ability is beyond doubt, but according to the current This score. You can only reverse the current terrible Manchester City unless you replace Ronaldo and Messi at the same time!"

The guest partner of the commentary said: "When it is impossible, it is possible unless it is replaced by God!"

The fourth official held up the LED electronic display board for the substitution on the sidelines, with the number NO.12 in green and the number 21 in red.

"E Wenger replaced the midfielder Flamini with Li Zihan, which is a signal to let go of the attack. Give up a midfielder who can attack and defend, and replace him with a very efficient goal scorer. Forward, play a double forward at the same time. This is a way to make a change, but now that Arsenal have so many frontcourt players, will it appear a bit crowded? Giroud, Li Zihan, Podolski, Cazorla , Ozil and a Ramsey who can plug in at any time."

"Let's see if Wenger's temporary two-forward formation can achieve miraculous results. It's just that facing such a Manchester City with such a weak midfield interception, will there be any problems?"

Li Zihan came on the field and gave Wenger's latest instructions to his teammates on the pitch.

"Wait, Manchester City also started to make substitutions, look... oh, Nasri came on and replaced Keylor Navas who had a good first half. This should be to pass the time with possession of the ball, as we all know Nasri But I really like "ball control" and "dribbling".

"French midfielder Nasri, one of the Four Little Swans, is on the field, facing his old club again to see if Nasri can play a role that will make things worse?"

"If... what I'm talking about is if, although this if is difficult and almost impossible to become a reality. If Arsenal finally achieves a big reversal and Nasri becomes the key, I think everyone on the Internet will ridicule Arsenal. It's Nasri's true love, he came to Manchester City as an undercover agent." Uncle Zhan Jun said for fun, fearing that the world would not be chaotic.

After making substitutions and adjustments, Arsenal played quite aggressively from the kick-off.It seems that Li Zihan's playing gave Arsenal a lot of confidence, although with a score of [-] to [-], the so-called confidence just didn't collapse in advance.

Li Zihan's active movement made the defensive midfielder Fernandinho very uncomfortable. Because he had already carried a yellow card, the movements of the Brazilian midfielder did not dare to be too presumptuous. Erva's goal was a bit biased towards Manchester City at home, so God only knows if Dodd will find a balance because he gave a second yellow card for a slight foul.

Ozil holds the ball, Li Zihan moves with Giroud in the middle.The high center forward Giroud was against the opponent's central defense line, so that Kompany did not dare to rush forward unscrupulously to defend in advance.

Li Zihan suddenly changed direction at this time, without the ball Li Zihan quickly pulled to a position close to the sidewalk, Fernandinho was a little unable to react in time, and was two steps behind.

Ozil saw the opportunity keenly, and suddenly kicked the ball to Li Zihan's position.Li Zihan unloaded the ball from his chest, and then knocked the ball to Podolski on the sideline without pausing. At this time, Fernandinho had just come up.

Li Zihan accelerated again without the ball to get rid of Fernandinho, and then cut inside into the rib of the penalty area.

Podols basically wanted to take the ball and cut inside, but when he saw Li Zihan occupying his running route, he gave up the idea of ​​cutting inside. He went directly to the bottom and ate Sabale raw with excellent dribbling and speed. tower.

Coming to the bottom line, Podolski first looked up at the situation in the penalty area, then swung his legs and kicked the ball in.

Zabaleta was two steps behind Podolski, and when Poulti passed the ball, Zabaleta arrived.The symbolic lift of the foot naturally failed to intercept the ball.

Giroud in the middle looked at the trajectory of the ball, and then took off against Demichelis.Poor Demichelis, how many times has this been pinned by Giroud?
Although Demichelis wondered why this center often took the initiative to come to him for physical contact and some small movements.But at this time, he didn't think so much. Interfering with the opponent's header is the first priority.

A concealed squeezing and pushing action on the arm failed to push Giroud away, and the French high center hit the ball first.

For Giroud, Joe Hart thinks he is quite familiar with it. This striker has a strong desire to score goals. Although his ability and desire are not directly proportional, such a big and tall header is still very threatening.

So when Giroud headed the ball, Joe Hart looked at the ball and made a prediction first and wanted to make a save.

Just reached out to take off, but found that the plot did not unfold as I imagined.The ball did not come towards the upper right corner of the goal, but a pass.

Joe Hart immediately stopped his feet, but he still staggered a step forward due to lack of preparation.

At this time, Li Zihan, who was supposed to be in the side of the penalty area, suddenly started. While Kompany's attention was still on the small penalty area, Giroud and goalkeeper Joe Hart, he suddenly rushed from the side of the Belgian central defender. When Kompany came back to his senses, Li Zihan had already used his excellent speed and physical flexibility to rush to the ribs of the small penalty area.

Facing Giroud's header, Li Zihan didn't stop the ball, and didn't wait for the ball to fall completely. Instead, he swung his right leg and slammed his right leg towards the ball that was slightly below his waist!
Just like in a baseball, the waving stick hits the flying baseball, and then the baseball flies out of bounds at a speed that is more than three times faster than before, trying to hit a home run!

It's just that the ball obviously cannot fly out of bounds directly. There is no home run in football, only a plane.
The speed of the ball was so fast that even Joe Hart couldn't react immediately.By the time England's best goalkeeper, Joe Hart, reached out, the ball had left the area he could control with both hands.

In the end, the ball smashed into the inner side net on the other side of the goal with a fast, spinning and unstoppable momentum, lifted the side net high, and finally fell down.

Silence silence!

After a second, the commentator and the fans at the scene reacted.

"GOOOOOOAL!!!!!! Goal - GOAL!! From Li Zihan, beautiful half volley, Joe Hart could do nothing to get back a goal for Arsenal, now it's five to two, Arsenal Na once again narrowed the score to three goals." Uncle Zhan Jun was stunned for a moment after the excitement, and said to himself: "It seems...something is wrong?"

It seems that three goals behind is still a huge gap, Arsenal has no reason to be happy, [-] to [-] and [-] to [-], there is no big difference in the end, unless it is [-] to [-], so that even if Arsenal loses the game, the scene And morale is not lower than Manchester City.

Um. In the words of Chinese football, it means: play your own style and play your own spirit.
