There is a dream called football

Chapter 460
There is something strange about the football field. When you beat your opponent violently, you are often the one who falls down. The game between Germany and South Korea in the World Cup is the best proof of this.

And it's the same now, Arsenal's advantage is becoming more and more obvious, but it has been unable to knock on the opponent's door for a long time. This is a bit anxious for Arsenal players, and it is the same for Koeman.

But looking at the watch, it was only 75 minutes, which means that Arsenal still had enough time to score another goal.

After Adebayor came on the field, Alex was the busiest person. He was marking Adebayor, but he found that this guy was really difficult to deal with. Alex was also a very strong player, but in front of Adebayor, Alex could only be regarded as a smaller player, which also caused Arsenal to get a lot of header opportunities.

But there is also a problem, that is, the passing of the teammates is not accurate enough. For the header, the passing of the teammates is very important. Only the very smooth arc ball is the most conducive to the header.

So Adebayor got a lot of header opportunities, but none of them were very threatening. This also caused the opponent to regain their confidence in defense. After all, Arsenal's offense seems to be only blooming, not fruitful.

If positional warfare cannot be started, set kicks are very important. A corner kick made both sides nervous at the same time.

This time the corner kick was taken by Van Persie, because Van Persie's left foot can hit the ball very accurately.

Koeman stared intently at the penalty area, staring at several possible points for Arsenal to score. Henry, Li Qiao, and Adebayor are all key points to be marked, but Li Qiao seems to have launched it in advance, because he is standing at the penalty spot, which is still a bit far from the core attacking area.

But Coman's heart skipped a beat, "Focus on Li Qiao, focus on Li Qiao."

But this is not a basketball game, nor is it a volleyball game. This is a football game. There are tens of thousands of noisy teams, and it is useless for you to shout loudly.

But I have to say that Coman guessed right, because the real attack point this time is really Li Qiao, but it's hidden.

Van Persie kicked out, and the landing point was really very precise. It happened to Henry in the penalty area. At the same time, the opponent's defensive player also pressed up. In this case, everyone thought Henry would head the ball.

But what I didn't expect was that Henry headed the ball back. This was almost beyond everyone's expectations. What is this for?
But when everyone saw the players standing on the path of the ball, everything became clear, because it was Li Qiao who was standing on the path of the ball, and Li Qiao flew up and drew the ball straight towards the goal.

The ball went in! ! !
This time the Arsenal players celebrated wildly, because the goal was so beautiful.

The most important thing is that it is really creative. Under normal circumstances, no one would think of taking advantage of a corner kick in this way. Koeman was beating his chest. He basically guessed what Arsenal wanted to do. This is also clear to the onlookers.

But he couldn't inform the players on the field of everything he thought of in time. This is a very depressing thing. What's more depressing is that Arsenal have tied, and now the advantage is already on the opponent's side. This is a very uncomfortable thing.

For Wenger, this is not just a draw, but more importantly, two away goals.

The importance of away goals cannot be overemphasized, because after the restructuring of the Champions League, this system really has too much impact on the results of the game.

But when the entire Arsenal team was happy, something happened that made Wenger's heart feel as uncomfortable as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

That is Li Qiao was injured.

Li Qiao has never suffered a serious injury in his career. It should be said that all successful players in the world need luck, such as the achievements of Ronaldo and Messi. It is actually very important that they have not suffered any serious injuries in their careers.

Thinking about Kaka again, he was actually affected by a cruciate ligament injury.

When Li Qiao was kicked by the Belgian giant Timmy Simmons in the midfield, the entire Arsenal was angry, and the two sides almost fought, and the referee decisively gave Simmons a red card immediately.

red card! !
Koeman was a little angry, but there was no way, he had to admit that Simmons' action was too big this time.

But it was Wenger who was even more angry, because his beloved disciple was kicked and injured.

After a simple diagnosis, the team doctor judged that Li Qiao's injury may not be serious, because it hurts to turn his knee.

"Li Qiao, you can't continue the game. I suspect it may be a cruciate ligament problem."

Li Qiao's heart skipped a beat, this sounded terrible.

"sure?"

"Not sure, I need an MRI, and there will be a definite answer."

"Ok."

Li Qiao can only hope that the result of the diagnosis is all right, otherwise there is nothing he can do. Injuries are commonplace for players. If they can't get over this, then they probably won't play football.

When the stretcher was brought to the sidelines, Wenger immediately went up to ask what was going on?
"It is suspected to be a problem with the cruciate ligament."

Wenger's heart skipped a beat. This kind of injury cannot be recovered in a month or two. Wenger was worried.

But on the surface, he was still as calm as water. He patted Li Qiao lightly, "It's okay, go and rest, I believe you are okay, you look like a healthy little tiger."

"Head, keep the result of the game."

"definitely."

Wenger replaced Walcott, but Arsenal seemed to be suffering from magic. At this time, Li Qiao was already considered the number two player in Arsenal. He was the second only to Henry, but he was injured.

Arsenal's offense has been greatly affected, and it feels a bit uninterested in fighting, and Eindhoven's whole team feels a little sluggish because they sent off one person, so in the last few minutes, both sides are struggling for time. In the end, the game ended with a score of 2 to 2. For both sides, the next big battle in London is on the same starting line.

But Wenger is most worried about Li Qiao, he is very concerned about the diagnosis report.
