Chapter 541 : FA Cup Final!

The time comes to May is always surprisingly fast, and before you know it, it is the end of a season, especially this year there is another world-class competition - the FIFA World Cup!

So at the end of the league, some stars who won the championship and relegation have nothing to do with them have long been out of the club's mind.

For some core big stars, if there is no accident, they will not lose the national team. As for some fringe international players, it depends on their performance and luck in the team this season.

For Li Zihan, the World Cup has nothing to do with him. The remaining two finals are more important to him than the World Cup, especially the last one.

"May is a season of harvest. When our team has come to this point, if we say nonsense that we don't want the championship, it is undoubtedly a problem in our brains, so we will go all out to fight for this championship. For a few days later Give up the FA Cup in the Champions League final? This is impossible. The word abandon will never appear in Arsenal's dictionary, so we will go all out. This is respect for our opponents and respect for the fans who support us. It is even more respect for all the teams participating in this championship. Our lineup is very strong, and we are capable of competing for two championships. Whether I can play or not? It all depends on the coaching staff." Li Zihan and Wenger attended the FA Cup In the press conference before the final match, I faced reporters' questions like this.

Because Li Zihan is the star who has been in the limelight recently, his crazy performance this season has overwhelmed Messi, who is not particularly good this season, Cristiano Ronaldo who is in excellent form, and Suarez who is equally explosive And Diego Costa, so Wenger could only bring Li Zihan to the pre-match press conference of the final, otherwise the media would not be easy to bully.
In the analysis of the media, it is also believed that Arsenal is unlikely to give up the FA Cup. First of all, the opponent in the FA Cup is the mid-lower team Hull City. This is not a big problem for Arsenal. Among the players in the first half of the rotation, Arsenal have won four of the last five encounters with Hull City, and they all won [-]-[-] without any suspense.

Secondly, the opponent in the Champions League final is Atletico Madrid. Although they played well this season and made it to the final, they are not as good as traditional giants in terms of background.Therefore, the strength comparison between Arsenal and Atletico Madrid should be [-]-[-], and Arsenal does not need to hide all their cores for the Champions League final.

The last and most critical one is that including this year, Arsenal has not won a formal championship for nine years, so Arsenal is coveted for any championship.As the saying goes, serving in the army for three years. Uh. So what.
At the pre-match press conference, Wenger first announced Arsenal's 18-man roster, as expected. Arsenal's many cores are in it, including Li Zihan, Ozil, Ramsey and Wilshere. People, of course, the last ones who started the 11 are not necessarily
"Welcome everyone to the new Wembley Stadium, where the last feast of English football will be held every year. The opponents of the FA Cup final this season are Arsenal, which is currently No.3 in the league, and No.13 in the league. Hull City team."

On May [-]th, the FA Cup final kicked off as scheduled!
And when everyone saw Arsenal's starting lineup, they were also sweating for Hull City.In this game, Wenger has indeed rotated a lot of core players. Among them, the main players such as Ozil, Mordsat, Gibbs and Sagna are all absent from the starting lineup. ·Kingson, Vermaelen and the midfielder Flamini have all got the chance to start with the veteran Rosicky.

However, the two core midfielders, Ramsey and Cazorla, still appear in the starting lineup. The most important thing is that Li Zihan is in the starting lineup.
This is definitely a blow to Hull City. Needless to say, Ramsey and Cazorla, just one Li Zihan is enough to make Hull City uncomfortable. Don’t you see how Li Zihan staged a magical performance in the previous Champions League semi-finals? reversed?
The outside world is joking that a single Li Zihan overturned a galaxy warship worth hundreds of millions of pounds
But Real Madrid is also interesting to say, last season was beaten by Dortmund's striker Lewandowski without temper, and this season was beaten by Li Zihan who turned out to be out of temper.
Facing Arsenal, Hull City sent all the main players, which can be described as the strongest lineup. No way, they have no choice at all
As soon as the game between the two sides started, Arsenal completely controlled the initiative.Arsenal, with its superior power, launched a fierce attack, as if it wanted to use its absolute strength to directly crush the opponent's hopes.

But a small team like Hull City naturally has a small team's style of play, with various bus arrangements and defensive counterattacks.In the second half of his own defense, he contracted the defense and let Arsenal attack, leaving only the fast Croatian striker Jelavic in the frontcourt.

On the issue of watching the opponent's core defense, Hull City's head coach Old Bruce also has a set. He directly wasted the organizational ability of his midfield organizer Heldstone and turned to closely guarding Arsenal. The core of Li Zihan.

Playing against a team like Arsenal that is several times stronger than their own, ball possession and organization will not work, and Arsenal are the masters of organizing and passing offense, so they naturally dare not play big swords in front of the masters. Because they have no chance, the most suitable in this situation is actually defensive counterattacks, long passes, and the use of set balls.

Moreover, Heldstone is 1.9 meters tall and weighs as much as 95 kilograms. He is definitely a midfielder with obvious physical advantages.

Old Bruce's tactics are very clear, that is, he wants to use the muscle forest to completely freeze Arsenal's offensive core.Although the routine is old-fashioned, it has to be said that it still has a very obvious effect. At least 10 minutes into the game, Arsenal's offense has not threatened Scottish goalkeeper McGregor to the current position.

"Lee seems to be lost in Heldstone's muscle strangulation. Many teams have used this trick against Li before, but the effect is not particularly obvious. Could it be that Hull City succeeded this time?"

Does it actually work?

When the time came to 15 minutes, Li Zihan also gradually got to know the Hull City player who defended him closely, so it was time for Li Zihan's personal performance.

Li Zihan frequently uses emergency stops, starts, changes of direction, and fake moves to sway the defense.Although Heldstone can often use his physical advantage to squeeze Li Zihan away, according to the penalty scale of the Premier League referee, such physical contact will not be fouled, and Li Zihan can only suffer a dark loss.But Li Zihan initially understood the weakness of this big man, that is, his slow speed and lack of physical coordination. Of course, this is also the weakness of most big players.

From 15 minutes to 25 minutes, Li Zihan used 10 minutes to penetrate Heldstone. He used the change of direction and speed to pass him seven times in a row, including a more threatening shot and three times. Passing the ball, but the teenager Chamberlain himself did not seize the opportunity, and Rosicky's shot hit the post and flew out, otherwise Arsenal would have won at least a [-]-[-] lead.

"Although Arsenal haven't scored yet, the current state of the Gunners is not far from scoring. Hull City should make changes."

"Okay, let me reiterate that we shouldn't question Li Zihan, every time we question him, he will be 'slapped' back."

"The season is over. What Li Zihan has shown this season is enough to explain everything. If there are still doubters, I think the end will be the same as Mr. Richard Sanchez."

Because Li Zihan turned the tide in the Arsenal team this season almost as many times as he scored goals, such a crazy performance naturally made the famous "Li Hei" Richard Sanchez have a bad life.

The fans are not fools, if they still can't see Li Zihan's ability, then they are only suitable for watching rugby, not football.

So gradually no one reads some of Sanchez's writings. At first they looked fresh, but after reading too much, everyone will get bored.

Moreover, Li Zihan also adopted a pragmatic attitude towards him, no matter what the other party said about him, he would ignore him, so that gradually no one would think of Sanchez.

Looking at the newspapers and the media, Sanchez's column can't be sold at all, and it even affects the reputation of the entire "Sun".
But in any case, no one reads what Sanchez wrote anyway, and the Sun is not a charity, so Richard Sanchez can be fired.

The disheartened Sanchez heard that he finally returned to his hometown of Italy to write an article for a small local media about a middle and lower team in the Italian second division.
Sanchez's encounter naturally caused a little sensation. After all, he is quite famous. Although most of his fame is obtained through Black Li Zihan, he is still a celebrity.The final end is so bleak.

So far, when a media person wants to publish an article questioning and criticizing Arsenal and Li Zihan, someone will always say to him: "Hey, look at Sanchez."
