Chapter 5 and Five: Arsenal in the shadows

After Li Zihan left the field, Arsenal's offense fell into a quagmire. They had no good way to attack.In the past, when Li Zihan was on the court, they handled the ball very simply. They kept passing and cooperating and then handed it over to Li Zihan for Li Zihan to launch a fatal blow, or Li Zihan cooperated with them after a personal breakthrough.

Now that Li Zihan is no longer on the court, their offense is very monotonous. They can only rely on Giroud's header and Wilshere's shot.

"Arsenal is already suffering from Lee's dependence. It seems that they don't know how to play without Lee. It's really hard to know whether Lee's strong performance is a good thing or a bad thing for Arsenal."

"Arsenal should be out of action in this game. After Miracle Kid left the field, Arsenal's ending should have been doomed."

As Hullhouse said, Arsenal's outcome was already doomed after Lee went off the field.

When the nine and 10-minute game ended, the score was fixed at two to zero, and Real Madrid beat Arsenal by two goals in the away game.

In the second goal, the newcomer Di Maria used his flexible body and superior technique to kill a bloody way through the Arsenal army, and then assisted center forward Benzema to score.

Di Maria's excellent performance naturally allowed Bell to produce felts, but Bell also knows that Real Madrid's more than 8000 million pounds is not for nothing, so as long as his state remains stable, he will not worry about having no chance.

In fact, since the winter transfer period, rumors about Di Maria's transfer have not stopped.
Wenger also acted as a quick death gamble in the end. He replaced the defensive midfielder Flamini and let Podolski play.

This is a helpless choice, because if Arsenal can't create some advantages at home, it will be even more dangerous to go to the away game, so he must strengthen his offense.

It's just that without the terrifying Li Zihan, Arsenal's offense dropped by at least two notches.

The final result is also obvious, Real Madrid scored another goal and the score became two to zero.

In the post-match press conference, Wenger's face was very ugly.I don't know if it was because the team lost at home, or because of Li Zihan's injury, or both.

"I don't have much to say about this game, the facts are in front of us, there is no shame in losing to Real Madrid. But we are not completely without chances, there is a second leg, as long as we show our own form, I think Arsenal still have a chance to reach the final."

When the reporters heard this, they wanted to question Wenger on the spot. You were completely defeated at home, so why go to an away game to fight against others?

But suddenly remembering that this season's Arsenal is completely like an away dragon, the reporters feel guilty.

From the Etihad, Anfield, Stamford Bridge to the Theater of Dreams at Old Trafford and finally to the Bundesliga overlord's Allianz Arena. Whether in the league or the Champions League, Arsenal's away games are like hanging up, Let many wealthy families complain
"Li's injury? The specific diagnosis report has not yet come out. I don't know. I will go to the hospital after the press conference. The second round of the game? I don't know if he can catch up in time, but look. In this situation, at least in this weekend's league league, Lee will definitely not have a chance to play, but we have not only Lee at Arsenal, but we also have many other excellent players, so I am not worried about it. Lee's priority is to recover from his injuries. I will give him enough time to recuperate from his injuries, Arsenal will always put the health and body of the players first, so I will not let Lee fight with injuries."

The reporters rolled their eyes. If it weren't for Li Zihan's miraculous performance this season, would Arsenal have achieved such results?If I remember correctly, this is the first time since Arsenal reached the Champions League semi-finals, isn't it?
Moreover, most of Li Zihan's 31 league goals and [-] Champions League goals are very critical. In other words, Li Zihan's goals have brought Arsenal points most of the time.

"Khedira's foul? The facts are obvious. I don't want to say anything more. Everyone is not blind. If you have any doubts, watch the game video. I don't comment on this issue." Joke, Wenger is not a fool.At this time, Arsenal's room was leaking and it was raining overnight, so he wouldn't be so stupid as to offend UEFA or anyone else.

If you follow the reporter's words, then if the bosses of UEFA get angry, fines are trivial matters.
"I'm very happy with my team's victory. Arsenal are a strong team for sure. I'm very satisfied to take away the advantage of two away goals from the Emirates Stadium. Of course, this is all the hard work of the lads. Yes, I am happy for their wonderful performance," Ancelotti said.

"Khedira's foul? It's just a tactical foul, a method that all teams will use. It's just a pity that the opponent's Lee is injured. Lee is a very good and promising player. I hope he can get it soon. He recovered and appeared in the starting lineup for the next round. Khedira? He was also punished, this red card is already serious for him, so I think he will be able to retract freely when using tactical fouls in the future "Ancelotti avoided the important and took the same attitude as Wenger.

It’s just that he didn’t know that Khedira was very upset by his support of Li Zihan’s remarks. It felt like he was complaining that Khedira had done something wrong. In fact, Khedira was just following his orders.

And Ancelotti did not mean to blame Khedira, because the chairman of Real Madrid, Florentino, is very optimistic about Li Zihan and hopes to have the opportunity to bring him to the Bernabeu, so he, as the head coach, naturally wants to express some kindness. As for the information, in fact, he also very much hopes to introduce Li Zihan.

Cristiano Ronaldo is now 29 years old, and there may only be about three years of high-intensity and high-level games.So if Real Madrid is looking for a successor to Cristiano Ronaldo, Li Zihan is one of the very good candidates.At that time, Li Zihan was 22 or [-] years old, and he was becoming more and more mature in Arsenal.

Of course, Chelsea's Hazard is also one of the candidates, as well as Gareth Bale, a winger in the Real Madrid camp.Just based on Ancelotti's contacts and observations this season, he believes that Bell is not suitable to succeed Cristiano Ronaldo, he is only suitable for his own job and position.Because he doesn't have the kind of domineering, nor does he stand up when the team is in trouble, and he doesn't have the ability to save the building, and he doesn't have the unique leadership qualities.
For the above three points, Arsenal's Li Zihan is the best choice
It's just that Ancelotti didn't expect that his smooth boasting caused a gap between Khedira and himself and the team.
The screen switches to the studio hall.

"What you have seen above is the report sent by our reporter from the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal lost two goals at home to Real Madrid. This is a worrying future for Arsenal, especially the injury of the striker Lee. The dream of the final has cast a shadow." The BBC's beauty host said so.

In the outside world, everyone's prospects for Arsenal are bad, and no one is optimistic that Arsenal can "turn over".Because they lost two goals at home in the first round, allowing the opponent to get a very valuable advantage of two away goals.

Secondly their opponent is Real Madrid! ! !Coach Ancelotti's Real Madrid is very strong, especially on the offensive line, much stronger than Mourinho's Real Madrid.

So everyone believes that when they return to the Bernabéu, with the attacking power of Real Madrid, Arsenal won [-]-[-] or [-]-[-]. If they can do it without conceding a goal, it is already a victory.
If Li Zihan can play, it may be worth looking forward to, because Li Zihan's performance in the away game this season is like a trick.

So everyone is still looking forward to Miracle Boy performing another miracle, but this time...
Even if Li Zihan can catch up with the second round, it is hard to say whether he can maintain his condition due to the injury at that time, let alone perform a miracle
The entire Arsenal team did not stand up to clarify the doubts from the outside world. When the reporter went to interview the player himself, everyone agreed that the most important thing for Arsenal now is the next league, and then the Champions League. Two rounds.

This kind of official answer, the reporters rolled their eyes. People all over the world know that if there are no accidents, the league champion this season will be Liverpool or Manchester City. Arsenal is theoretically possible, but this possibility has nothing to do with their chances of winning the Champions League. Likelihood is almost high, as for Chelsea. They have completed the task of this season ahead of schedule - guaranteed Champions League seats!
Therefore, regarding the answers of the Arsenal players, the reporters agreed that this was the club's greeting to the players in advance, and they will answer in this way when they meet the reporters.
The fact is indeed the case, Arsenal had already vaccinated and "anti-journalist" drills for the players beforehand.

These days, fire prevention, theft prevention and reporter protection.
In an instant, Arsenal or Li Zihan's injury became the focus of media attention all over the world. How did Li Zihan's injury fall to the ground? Can he come back in time to catch up with the second round? These are all one- puzzle!

Li Zihan was admitted to the best Royal Sports Injury Hospital in London, and it was also a luxurious VIP ward—this was entirely to avoid harassment from reporters.

For the first-hand information, the reporters were like secret agents and spies who penetrated every corner. The Arsenal club had no choice but to let him live in the VIP intensive care ward without external interference to recover from his injuries.

There is no way, who is called Hanniang is now the focus of all the media.
