Chapter 492: Gunners lose, Red Devils win

Many people are worried that the professor's attack without the help of midfield interception, if Everton continues to press the attack, won't it soon threaten Arsenal's goal?
Everyone saw Everton's offense before, it was very sharp, which is why they led by three goals.

But soon Martinez helped Wenger make a clearance, and he used up his first substitution in the No. 705 minute.The mediocre midfielder Osman was replaced today, and the veteran midfielder Barry, who was on loan from Manchester City, came up.

Everyone can see that Martinez doesn't want to attack at all. He just wants to strengthen his defense and ensure his three-goal advantage.

It's very sane, and very Martinez-esque at the same time.

When the game came to No. 80 minutes, Martinez once again made substitution adjustments.He once again replaced the offensive player, the midfielder Miralas, and replaced it with the Irish midfielder Gibson. much time.

After Li Zihan came on the field, he was also affected by the opponent's tight defense and did not get any threatening shots.

Seeing that time was running out, Li Zihan decided to use the magic weapon to break the dense defense - long shot!
Although Li Zihan still has a so-so long-range shot now, he didn't participate in it.He let Ramsey, who has excellent long-range shooting ability, play, and matched with Chamberlain and Ozil, and the three bombed in turn.Giroud was assigned the task of interfering with the central defenders and defenders in the penalty area, while he and Wilshere were ambushing near the penalty area.

This is also Li Zihan's nearly a season at Arsenal, and his ability on the court is very outstanding, and he can often save the team from fire and water by himself.At the same time, he has a very good relationship with his teammates, so everyone can follow Li Zihan's arrangements on the court.

If you try to replace Chamberlain or Sanogo, who are also teenagers, absolutely no Arsenal player will pay attention to them.

The commentators interpreted the fact that Arsenal obeyed Li Zihan's arrangement as prestige and charisma!
He does have such charisma!
Wenger nodded, obviously satisfied that Li Zihan could stand up and unite his teammates.Wenger also understands the problem that Arsenal has been lacking a core capable of giving orders on the pitch, but he has no choice.

Originally, he had high hopes for Wilshere, but this kid is far behind.Although Ozil has ability and technology, he has no prestige after all, and he has only been here for less than a season.

As for Giroud, Chamberlain and Walcott, needless to say, they are similar to Cazorla and have no leadership qualities.

Originally the best candidate was Ramsey, a very mature midfielder among players of the same age, but Ramsey didn't understand what he meant and didn't stand up in time.

Well now, with Li Zihan standing up, at least there is a place on the court that allows players to return or go or move to where they should appear.

Li Zihan does not have the above-mentioned problems. His prestige, popularity and charm are all achieved by real guns. The stadium and the battlefield are similar.
Moreover, Li Zihan has a wide peripheral vision, and at the same time has a very strong ability to read the game.

So Wenger ignored the dazzling three-to-zero in this game, and he saw more things from this game!

And that's exactly what Arsenal lacked and needed.

Ramsey's long-range shot still poses a great threat to Everton. The powerful heavy bombardment made the Everton defensive players in the penalty area dare not easily use their bodies to block the eye-catching.However, Howard, the American goalkeeper of the Toffees, performed well and often resolved crises.

When the game came to the No.807 minute of the game, no one could think that Arsenal could perform miracles at this time, even though they had Li Zihan, known as the "miracle boy".

Martinez's third substitution is ready. Well, in fact, this substitution has no effect on his lineup and tactics. He just wants to waste more time.

Ramsey and Ozil are still shooting long shots from the front of the penalty area. It’s not that they don’t want to send the ball into the penalty area, but that there are too many people in the opponent’s penalty area. The ball probably hit the opponent’s defense before it entered the penalty area. The players are on the body, and even Lukaku has returned to defense behind the top of the penalty area.

Ramsey continued to take a long shot. The ball was very powerful and flew directly to Everton's goal.

Goalkeeper Howard once again made a flying save. This time he judged the route of the ball and thought it was unlikely to save the ball directly to the bottom line.At the same time, you can't hug the ball directly, because the opponent's shot is full of power, and there are mixed fish and dragons in the penalty area. If you accidentally let go, you will give the opponent a chance to make up shots.

So to be on the safe side, Howard intends to attack with both fists.

Watching Howard take off, Giroud was not to be outdone, and followed suit.

The ball was finally touched by Howard, but due to the interference of Giroud in the air, he didn't use much strength in his fists, so the distance the ball was hit was not far away.

At this time, Li Zihan once again showed his strong sense of smell in the penalty area, and he jumped almost immediately. Li Zihan had already made a move.

In the meantime, he jumped up high, trying to keep his body balanced in the air, and then directly nodded his head in the face of the flying ball.

Headed goal! ! !

Howard, who had fallen to the ground, had nothing to do with such a header shot, and the ball flew directly into Everton's goal.

Li Zihan, who landed, rejected Giroud and Wilshere's hug and celebration, and then rushed directly into the goal net to pick up the ball and ran towards the center circle.

At this time, the game time has come to the No.809 minute of the game
Seeing this scene, Zhan Jun couldn't help sighing: "This is Li Zihan. As long as the referee doesn't blow the whistle to end the game, no matter what the situation is, even if there is only one minute left, he will do his best and never give up. Stop running."

The final result still did not change. Everton defeated the incoming Arsenal [-]-[-] at their home stadium, Goodison Park.

Such a result was expected, but also beyond everyone's expectations.Everyone knows that this game is very difficult for Arsenal, because Everton is not a weak team this season, and they just played a Champions League game two days ago.

Although everyone thinks that this game may be a draw, or that one of the parties loses by one goal.

But I didn't expect that Arsenal was almost under pressure in the second half. If it weren't for Li Zihan's appearance and scoring a goal for Arsenal to change their face, Arsenal would have lost three goals at Goodison Park. Forton.

"Arsenal lost!!!" The next day, the media all over the UK and even the whole of Europe put eye-catching headlines on their front pages.

Arsenal's loss is not a big news, the big news is that they are losing at this time.

It is already April, and the competition for the Premier League title has entered a fever pitch, but at this time Arsenal has begun to lose the chain.

With Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool all beating their opponents and scoring three points, Arsenal, which once occupied the league leader for more than three months, has come to the fourth place in the league.

When Arsenal appeared in the fourth place in the league, fans all over the world almost sighed at the same time, "Seeing Arsenal ranked fourth, I am more used to it now."

In the post-match press conference, Wenger said that losing is not the end of the world, and they still have a chance to compete for the final championship with five rounds left in the league.

At the same time, in response to the reporter's question, Wenger also gave an explanation for the recent large-scale rotation of core players in the league: "We are currently fighting on the third line, and it is impossible for all players to play a full season in various championships. ... they need to rest and give other players more chances. So when the medical team thinks that players are not fit enough to face three games in a week, we have to adjust. I don't know what the fuss is all about. Teams are like this, but it’s unacceptable that this kind of thing happened to Arsenal.”

It's not that the outside world can't accept it, but that it's too weird.Think about it, the competition for the league championship has reached a fever pitch.Wenger often used rotation at this time, and core players like Li Zihan were actually rotated when there was no major problem with their physical fitness.

Although Wenger said that this is to protect young players, because once they are overdrawn, it will be a devastating blow to their future and the team's schedule in the future.Few people believe this
In addition to Arsenal, another team has also become the focus of media attention across Europe.

That is Manchester United, which has just fired its coach. This round they are a guest at St. James' Park to challenge the Magpies Newcastle United.

But unexpectedly, almost everyone did not expect that such a Manchester United with internal and external troubles finally scored three points in the away game, and the score was [-]-[-].
This is simply unbelievable. When Moyes was in charge, Manchester United had never won such a big victory, but as soon as he left.
Now all Manchester United fans firmly believe that Moyes is their broom star, and for Giggs, who is the acting head coach and a player, Manchester United fans sent praises, and called on the top management of Manchester United to directly remove Giggs' agent. .

Strange things happen every day, especially today.
