Chapter 436: The Last "Supper"

I have to say that the thickness of Bayern Munich's bench is very weak compared to Arsenal and "Universal Ren", which are both giants.The substitutes sitting on the bench can play a stable main force if they come to Arsenal
And after Martinez came on the court, he really effectively restrained Li Zihan's performance. Within 2 minutes, he couldn't let Li Zihan catch the ball and cooperate comfortably, not to mention effective offense.

Everyone knows that Arsenal has come to an end at this point. Although they can advance by scoring more away goals than Bayern by scoring another goal, this goal is insurmountable.

Journalists, fans and TV commentators were pronouncing Arsenal's "death", but no one was blaming them.Because it is not easy to force such a powerful Bayern Munich into this state. Look at the powerful Barcelona that Bayern Munich played in two rounds last season without any power to fight back.

Everyone can only lament Arsenal's bad luck. It was hard to get out of the death group, and in the first knockout round, they encountered one of the most powerful teams in the Champions League like Bayern Munich.

When the game came to No.808 minutes, Bayern Munich began to make substitution adjustments.Guardiola used up the remaining two substitutions in a row. Scar Ribery, who was shoveled by Ramsey, was regrettably off the field. He was replaced by the Swiss genius Shaqiri .

In fact, Franck Ribery's injury is not serious, but Bayern Munich has suffered continuous injuries to Robben, Schweinsteiger and Ram.In order to go further in the Champions League, Guardiola had to plan in advance, and did not let the slightly injured Ribery fight with injuries.

The other substitution was also a match-up substitution, and Pizarro fell to the ground and couldn't move.It's not that the Arsenal players fouled him so badly, but that the 36-year-old Pizarro really ran to the ground by himself.It was also difficult for the Peruvian veteran to last such a fierce game for 88 minutes.At this time, even young talents like Thomas Muller and Gotze were a little cramped.

Guardiola has very high requirements for the running of his players. All players must run regardless of whether there is a ball under your feet.

He was replaced by Bayern's current main center, Mandzukic. After Mario Gomez left the Apennine Peninsula to join Viola Fiorentina, the Croatian center became Bayern's absolute main center. Veteran Pizarro was just his substitute.However, during the winter break, Bayern Munich had reached an agreement with Dortmund's Polish center Lewandowski. After the end of this season, the top scorer in the Bundesliga played four goals against Real Madrid last season. The striker will join Bayern Munich as a free agent.

This is also the reason why Lewandowski has not been able to renew his contract with Dortmund for a long time. It seems that the senior management of Bayern Munich has approached Lewandowski before.The Poles will also become the second absolute main force of the Hornets who recently "defected" Dortmund to join the arch-enemy-the first is Gotze on the court now.

Substituting players at this time also wastes some of the limited time, because both Ribery and Pizarro were slowly helped down by the staff.

Li Zihan really wanted to run over and push the two off, but he knew that Ribery and Pizarro could not walk fast because of injuries and leg cramps, so he could only be anxious at this time.

For Li Zihan's character, this situation is the most annoying and helpless situation for him.

However, Guardiola also has his own pride, wasting time is just a reasonable use of the rules for tactical delay.But when making substitutions, he never considered replacing Ribéry and Pizarro as two central midfielders or defensive midfielders or defenders, so as to ensure the advantage of this ball.

In this way, even if he wins, it is obviously a shame for Guardiola, who is biased toward perfection and has a very proud self-esteem.So he put on an offensive player, just to tell everyone that he has always been a champion of "beautiful football" and "offensive football".

Watching Guardiola make a substitution, Wenger felt a little teary.Because the three players replaced by the opponent are very strong, and they are not lost to Arsenal's main force at all.

Looking at his own bench, Wenger had the idea of ​​shopping around and throwing away.
In the end, Wenger made a decision. If he can end nine years without a championship and perform well this season, he will talk to the club and introduce some outstanding players.They are not necessarily star players, but they must strengthen the team's bench thickness and main lineup.

And if the absence of a crown continues, then he himself will take the initiative to resign.

At this time, no one knew that Guardiola's unintentional substitution made Wenger make up his mind, and brought a major earthquake-like change to Arsenal. far-reaching.

When the game came to No. 809 minutes, the referee Rizzoli was about to tell the fourth official how much time was needed in stoppage time through the headset, when Cazorla's sharp breakthrough disrupted Bayern Munich's defense.Because Bayern Munich's current defensive focus is on Li Zihan and Ozil, and their defensive energy is limited, they naturally relax their defense against Cazorla.So I gave Cazorla a chance. Cazorla's performance this season is quite impressive, but because Li Zihan is so eye-catching, most people ignore the "inconspicuous" Cazorla. Now Bayern Munich That's it
After swaying Alaba and Thomas Muller in succession, Cazorla cut in from the wing and was about to run towards the penalty area.Toni Kroos quickly rushed over with a flying shovel, blocking Cazorla's dribbling from outside the penalty area.

The referee blew the foul for the first time, but he didn't mean to give Toni Kroos a card, but gave Arsenal a direct free kick in the frontcourt.

This caused dissatisfaction among the Arsenal players, because Toni Kroos already had a yellow card on his back. If he gets another one at this time, two yellow cards will turn into one red card.

Ramsey, Ozil and others quit and surrounded the referee one after another, complaining that the opponent's foul was worthy of a yellow card.

The referee insisted on the penalty, ignoring the "siege" of the Arsenal players.

But at this time Li Zihan suddenly appeared, he pulled Wilshere and other teammates away, blushed and yelled at his teammates: "Stop the fuck!! Time is running out , are you going to delay until the end of the game?"

Because she was too excited, the skin on Li Zihan's face was very red.This is not Li Zihan's usual shy red, but the excited and angry red.
Li Zihan's sudden "explosion" completely startled the Arsenal players, because Li Zihan was known as a gentleman at Arsenal, a gentleman may not be correct, "good boy" should be more accurate.

He has never had any conflicts with his teammates or even opponents, not to mention swearing and blush with anyone, he hardly even has a serious tone.

And when the head coach does not do it, he is determined not to do it, such as going to nightclubs, drinking alcoholic beverages, smoking, etc.
So they have never seen Li Zihan like this before, and the players who were yelled at by him were even more stunned, and they didn't even react.
"Lee is right. Let's talk about something after the game. The most important thing now is the game. We have no time, so...don't waste precious time now." Mordsart was the first to understand, and he supported Li Zihan's point of view, and then turned around and ran towards the opponent's penalty area - he was preparing to receive a free kick and compete for a header.

Wilshere and Ramsey glanced at each other, then nodded and went to their seats.Ozil and Giroud followed suit.
"Arsenal's players were dissatisfied that the referee Rizzoli did not show Toni Kroos a yellow card. They believed that a yellow card for such a foul was absolutely reasonable. The German midfielder already has a yellow card. If you take another one, you will be sent off."

"Li Zihan stopped his teammates at a critical moment. He thought it was useless, except to waste some time that Arsenal couldn't afford to waste. Li Zihan was right. For Arsenal at this time, Every minute no, every second counts."

"Arsenal's players listened to Li Zihan's words. It seems that Li Zihan has won the real recognition of his teammates with his own strength. And his influence and personal charm in the team are the same as his strength. Be strong. You must know that Ozil, Wilshere and others in the team are not one of the most famous figures in football, and now they have listened to Li Zihan's opinion." Regarding this scene, Uncle Zhan Jun And Chinese fans are still happy to hear it, which shows that Li Zihan already has influence in Arsenal and has gained the right to speak in the dressing room, which will further strengthen his status in the team, at least not There will be things that affect his state because of the dressing room problem-although Arsenal's dressing room has always been very harmonious.

In the end, Cazorla couldn't hold on to the game. He also followed in the footsteps of Ribery and Pizarro and was replaced.

Podolski on the bench is eager to try, because Cazorla's end means that he has a chance.

If he comes off the bench and scores the winning goal at this time, he will become Arsenal's hero.He won't have a big problem in Arsenal's position in a short period of time - after the young player Chamberlain's outstanding performance and Li Zihan, who was originally a striker, can play as a winger, Prince Polti felt tremendous pressure and threat
Although he sometimes behaves badly, he is not a fool.How many games did he play after the winter break?How many games are starting?

Although his performance in the team is very average, he still longs for the main position, not to mention that he is only 28 years old, the official golden age.After the age of 30, there is really not much to do with him.

And currently on the bench, he is the only player facing German players. Bayern Munich knows more about most German players than their other teammates, so regardless of the right time and place, you should play by yourself. .

So Podolski is very excited-he is not excited that Cazorla, one of his competitors in the team position, is injured, he is simply excited because he has the opportunity to perform.
