Chapter 425 : Arsenal's penalty kick!

When the first half of the game between the two sides entered the stoppage time period, everyone thought that the 45-minute game in the first half ended in such a "surprise".For the two teams, the rapid offensive and defensive transition and the sharp breakthrough pass of both sides are "shocking", but for Arsenal, Ribery's goal is "dangerous".

The referee Rizzoli from Italy gave 45 minute stoppage time after 1 minutes in the first half.The first 45 minutes of the game were played very smoothly. Although the two sides had a lot of physical movements, there were not many cases of falling to the ground, and there was no team doctor to enter the field for treatment, so 1 minute was just a symbolic stoppage time.

Arsenal took the ball and the attack advanced to the front of Bayern Munich's penalty area.The time has come to 45 minutes and 38 seconds, and Rizzoli is already looking at his watch.

If there are no surprises in Arsenal's attack, he will not have to wait until the 1 minute is over before blowing the whistle.He has already planned that if Arsenal's attack is over this time, no matter how long the time is, he will blow the whistle to end the first half, because the last close to ten seconds is not very meaningful.

At this time, Wilshere, who had been very honest on the wing and had no particularly outstanding performance, suddenly cut into the penalty area without the ball.I thought that time was running out, so this time Arsenal pressed forward across the board. Sagna on the right side of the sideline made up for Wilshere. Even Modesat and Koscielny both over the center line.

Ozil looked into Bayern Munich's penalty area, his eyes widened. Although he didn't need to stare, his eyes were already big.

Lifting his foot, a pick pass came into the penalty area in an instant.

Wilshere was right there and didn't wait for the ball to drop to stop it.Instead, before Dante could react, he immediately took off and headed the ball.

"Wilshere!!! Header!!!!"

Just when everyone, including Neuer, thought it was Wilshere's header, Wilshere tapped the ball on his forehead—a header! !

"Head the ball. Go back!! Bayern Munich be careful."

Li Zihan made a posture of swinging his legs in a very coordinated manner, waiting for the ball to come and shoot in the air.

As the core player in Arsenal's frontcourt, especially a player who is very good at scoring goals.Li Zihan is on the "blacklist" of Bayern Munich's defensive players. Whether he has the ball or not, Boateng always pays attention to him.

Seeing that Li Zihan was about to shoot, he immediately grabbed Li Zihan, and then he wanted to get stuck in front of the opponent to clear the flying ball.

Boateng stretched out his arm in order to maintain his balance, but his small arm hit Li Zihan's throat.

Li Zihan wanted to keep his body balanced as much as possible, and interfered with Boateng.He didn't seem to fall to the ground, even though he knew that he was acting like he was in pain, and this penalty was awarded.But he didn't want to do this, he very much hoped to defeat his opponent in an upright manner.

But Boateng stretched his arms to maintain his balance too hard, and his throat is a weak link.Li Zihan felt a sharp pain in his throat, as if he couldn't breathe.In the end, he couldn't bear it directly, and was knocked down by Boateng's elbow.

Li Zihan fell to the ground, quickly got up on his knees, and then retched, he felt sore and nauseous in his throat, and wanted to vomit.But after vomiting for a long time, only some saliva came out.

"Lock the throat!!! Boateng fouled Li Zihan. This is a malicious foul. Although it seems a bit unintentional, it's hard to say on a football field."

Rizzoli immediately stopped the game and ran to the scene of the incident.He was standing at the front of the penalty area, not far from Li Zihan, and he could see the scrimmage between the two very clearly.

The Bayern Munich players knew exactly what this meant, and quickly surrounded the referee to plead for mercy.

Rizzoli firmly separated Dante, Thiago and other players surrounding him, and pointed to the twelve yard point without hesitation! !

"Penalty kick!! Penalty kick!! Li Zihan won a penalty kick for Arsenal!!"

"Just 15 seconds before the end of the first half, the plot changed dramatically. Ozil cleverly picked a pass into the penalty area, Wilshere decisively inserted into the penalty area, and then took off with a header. Li Zihan At the back point, he was ready to respond to Wilshere's pass and shot, but was viciously brought down by central defender Boateng."

"This foul action is very dangerous, regardless of whether Boateng fell to the ground intentionally or unintentionally. This penalty is undoubtedly correct, because his action is very lethal. According to the principle of protecting players, the foul is absolute. .”

Jerome Boateng came up to explain for himself, saying that he did not mean it.Because Manchester City, who had been to the Premier League, played for a season, his English is still no pressure in communication.The full-back Rafinha also came up to help his teammates defend. Raffiani, who once played for the Serie A Griffin Legion Genoa, still speaks some Italian, so that there is no language barrier with the referee when negotiating.

But the referee from Italy, and now the best referee in Italy, Rizzoli, did not listen to the defense of the Bayern Munich players.Pointing to the twelve yard point very persistently, and gestured to Boateng, motioning him to come to him.

Rizzoli put his hand on his pocket, and any fool knew what he was going to do next.

Very decisively took out a yellow card against Boateng.

"Rizzoli not only gave Arsenal a penalty, but also gave a yellow card to Boateng, who was fouled by the opponent's central defender. In this way, if the penalty kick is scored, Arsenal will not have no chance. Because the central defender took a yellow card. After the yellow card, there must be some restraint and scruples in his actions, so that Li Zihan can show his best ability. A player like Li Zihan is afraid that the opponent will harass him with non-stop fouls and small moves. In this way, his speed and The technical advantage will not come up.”

"Looking at the slow-motion replay, there is no problem with this penalty! Boateng is indeed a foul. If it is an intentional foul, it is very malicious. There is no problem with a foul like 'choke' and a red card. "

Rizzoli came to Li Zihan, who was kneeling on the ground and was still retching, and patted him on the back: "Is the young man okay? Do you need me to call the team doctor?"

Rizzoli asked the question in Italian. Although Li Zihan only played in Italy for one year, the cup and the league combined, this season has not lost contact with Rizzoli.So although the two have no intersection or personal relationship, they are considered 'old acquaintances' on such a 22-man court.

"It's all right, sir. I feel better, thank you sir." Li Zihan said calmly.

Rizzoli smiled and backed away.

Ramsey took a bottle of water from the sidelines and handed it to Li Zihan. Li Zihan unscrewed the lid without saying a word, and just poured it wildly.Because of drinking water too quickly, he was choked.

Ramsey patted him on the back from behind him.

Arteta came up to take this penalty kick. As the team's vice-captain, he is the first penalty shooter in Arsenal's team.If he's on the pitch, he's usually the one who takes Arsenal's penalties.

Li Zihan originally wanted Cazorla or Ozil to take the penalty kick, because both Cazorla and Ozil are very good in terms of skills and competition experience, although Ozil is only 24 years old. But he has played for a top giant like Real Madrid for three seasons, so he has seen many big scenes.

He doesn't have any opinions on the vice-captain Arteta, but he feels that penalties should belong to offensive players, so it should be more reliable to let offensive players take penalties.Because in daily training, shooting is often practiced by offensive players.As for the defensive players taking penalty kicks, Li Zihan always felt a little uneasy.

Just like an uncle who is a professional and excellent farmer, if you insist on letting him be a construction engineer, you can know the quality of the built house with your butt.

Although Li Zihan is now one of the hottest stars in Europa League, he still doesn't understand many very professional things.

For example, this penalty candidate.

Seeing that the vice-captain Arteta was already playing the ball, he hesitated and chose to remain silent.If I put forward any opinions at this time, it is estimated that Arsenal's dressing room will not be so harmonious.

A rookie who has only been in the team for less than a season, actually confronts the vice-captain.
Li Zihan did not do such a crazy thing in the end. Since Arsenal used to take penalties from Arteta, Li Zihan also felt that the problem should not be too big.

After Rizzoli blew the whistle, Arteta started the run-up.

Neuer half-pressed, watching Arteta's run-up, every small movement of his feet and the movement of joints.

Arteta didn't make a fake move, and came to the ball and pumped it directly.

At the same time, before Arteta kicked off the heavy rain about [-] second, Neuer made a judgment in advance.

The ball rolled towards the lower left corner of the goal. It was a ground ball.However, Neuer is also moving towards this side.

In the end the ball hit Neuer's palm and bounced out.

Arteta froze for a moment, apparently not expecting his penalty to be saved by the opponent.When he reacted, he ran towards the ball quickly and wanted to make a follow-up shot. In the end, he was the first one who was closest to the ball to grab the ball. This was the last shot and fired an anti-aircraft gun.

The ball flew into the fans stands!
"Neuer!!! God made a save, the German national team saved the penalty kick that the experienced Arsenal vice-captain Arteta is bound to score!!! This is a world-class performance!!!"

"Poor Arsenal, before Neuer blocked Li Zihan's shot which was very likely to score, this time he directly blocked the opponent's penalty kick!!!"
