There is a dream called football

Chapter 422 The Competition May Be Canceled
"Head, with this kind of weather, the second half of the game is likely to be cancelled."

Wenger's expression was full of concern.

"Hopefully not, I don't want to spend another day in this place, and the rematch will definitely affect the league. It's terrible."

"I hope not, even if the game is a little more difficult." Henry said.

However, UEFA games have their own set of rules. As long as UEFA officials determine that the game cannot continue, it will be canceled and resumed at another day, so this is beyond the control of the players.

On the other hand, CSKA may be better. After all, it is a home game. Even if it is canceled, they are acceptable, but if the weather is better, will Arsenal have a greater advantage over themselves?

This is hard to say, after all, in terms of absolute strength, Arsenal is still far stronger than CSKA.

*****
On the field, on the one hand, during the intermission, the stadium staff were clearing the snow, and on the other hand, UEFA officials were also inspecting the field and making their own judgments.

Two UEFA officials walked up and down the pitch.

"I think the weather is no longer suitable for the game, and even the sight is affected."

Another said: "But you have to know that if the game is not played, it will affect many things, such as the UEFA Cup game tomorrow."

"Of course I know that."

"But you can't even see the ball and the sidelines, how do you play?"

"You can draw a red line."

"I still don't think it's reliable."

Another staff member said: "But the weather in Moscow, can you guarantee that it won't snow tomorrow?"

As soon as these words came out, the other party had nothing to say, yes, this is Moscow, maybe it will still snow tomorrow.

It is possible to postpone the game for a day, but it is obviously impossible to continue to postpone it.

"Then you can only switch to other stadiums, such as the stadium in Sochi."

"Then don't think about it, it's impossible."

"Then what do you think?"

"I think snow is different from rain. At least the ball can still bounce on such a court, so I think it's nothing."

"Well, it looks like we're betting on the health of our players."

"Don't say that, we have no choice."

*****
Players put on clean clothes, drank some hot tea or hot cocoa, and then returned to the player tunnel. They must keep their bodies warm. They must not cool down completely during the intermission in this weather, otherwise the second half will be bad.

Li Qiao was climbing the stairs, running fast to keep asking questions, Van Persie came over, "I don't know if we can continue in the second half."

"I hope it can, otherwise it will be very troublesome, and I don't want to stay here any longer."

"Damn Moscow, it's snowing so early."

"Western European teams come to Eastern Europe to play, the weather has always been the most difficult point, there is nothing to say."

"Well, I hope I don't draw a Russian team again, I've had enough."

Li Qiao chuckled, "You didn't play, so you complain more than me?"

Van Persie Khan.

"It's only cold when I watch the game from the sidelines."

"Hehe, no wonder the head doesn't let you start. It's really not ready."

"Screw you."

*****
Ultimately, both sides were informed that the second half would continue, but with a 10-minute delay to allow crews to clear the snow.

In this way, both parties need to continue to warm up and maintain their body temperature.

Li Qiao was not satisfied with climbing the stairs anymore, he had to warm up with the ball. He kicked it against the wall, bounced back and kicked it back again, just like playing table tennis.

In this way, you can not only warm up, but also maintain your sense of the ball, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

However, in this kind of weather, the second half will indeed be very difficult for speed players. Li Qiao has to think about his own fighting strategy in the second half.

At this moment Van Persie came over, "Let me throw the ball for you."

"it is good."

Van Persie threw the ball for Li Qiao, and Li Qiao bounced it back with the back of his foot, so that the speed can be faster, which is conducive to maintaining the temperature of the core muscles.

"Robin, you can lose the ball a little faster."

"it is good."

Van Persie lost the ball to Li Qiao faster and faster, and Li Qiao could handle it. This made the CSKA players on the side stunned.

"This ball feels really good."

Even the Brazilians think that Li Qiao's sense of the ball is really good, and he can quickly pad the ball under such circumstances.

If it wasn't because he was an opponent, Carvalho really wanted to go over and say hello to Li Qiao, so that the two sides could have a chat, but unfortunately...it might have to wait until after the game.

Finally, the referee notified both sides that they could play, leaving the warm player tunnel, it was icy and snowy outside, and the players felt frozen through.

That feeling is uncomfortable, so many people run immediately after playing, and the referee is also very considerate, waiting for a while before kicking off.

After putting on spiked shoes, Li Qiao felt that his running was not as flexible as in the first half, but there was no way around it. For this kind of venue, the one with the longest nails had to be used.

After the start of the second half, the snow became a little lighter.

The two staff members of UEFA are also thankful for their decision. The field has been cleaned up and the snow is light. It should not be a problem to spend 45 minutes in the second half.

"Your judgment is correct, but fortunately I listened to you."

"Hehe, I can only say good luck." Another person pointed to the sky.

On the court, the offensive rhythm of both sides is very slow, and both sides dare not exert their strength without sufficient warm-up.

The commentator thought it was a bit boring, but he also understood it. He smiled and said, "I'm afraid this game will not be more intense until 15 minutes later."

The same is true on the field. When CSKA has the ball, Arsenal does not go up to press it, but stands in its own position. At most, it interferes with the players who receive the ball.

And CSKA's offense is also very simple, just a big foot forward, and such passes often fall into Lehmann's arms.

Although Levy would give a thumbs up after every pass from his teammates, he felt in his heart that such a ball was unreliable.

But for the time being, this is the only offense that CSKA Moscow can play, fast but at least able to send the ball to the opponent's penalty area.

Even the CSKA players are waiting for Lehmann's mistake, what if Lehman catches the ball and misses it?Then there is a chance?
However, the possibility of Germany making a mistake at the national goal is indeed very small. In the first 10 minutes, the game ended between Arsenal's boring possession of the ball and CSKA's long pass. The score did not change, and Arsenal still led 1-0.

And Wenger hopes that this rhythm can be maintained, so the possibility of his side winning is basically 100%.

England teams are not afraid of long balls.
