Chapter 55
On September 9, Arsenal ushered in their second opponent in the first group stage of the UEFA Champions League-the Bundesliga powerhouse Schalke 19.

The game was broadcast live on Sky TV, and Taylor and Lineker sat in the studio.

However, Du Shasha did not sign up, so she could only sit in the stands to watch the game.And she was quickly recognized by the fans, and one by one they ran up to ask for autographs.

The fans sitting next to Du Shasha were even more excited. They took out their tickets and asked Du Shasha to sign them as a souvenir.

In the first round, Arsenal lost 0:1 away to Mallorca, which put the team under pressure to win at home.

The suspension of Pires, Wiltord and Ljungberg does not include the Champions League, and the three are on the starting list for the game.

And Parlor also returned from injury in time, and the 'Ice Prince' Bergkamp was still sitting on the sidelines bench. It can be seen that Wenger is bound to win the game.

Arsenal's field lineup is very strong: (goalkeeper) Seaman, (center back) Campbell, Upson, (left back) Ashley Cole, (right back) Van Bronckhorst, (double back) Waist) Patrick Vieira - Parlor, (front midfielder) Ljungberg, (left midfielder) Pires, (right midfielder) Edu, (single forward) Thierry Henry.

Arranging troops like this, Wenger really took great pains.Although getting 3 points is the only goal, Wenger still wants to win steadily.

The four-back system plus the combination of Vieira and Parlor's double midfielders will undoubtedly make Arsenal's backcourt very solid.

After the start of the game, both sides played very calmly. Arsenal mainly relied on Freddie Ljungberg's central pass and Vieira and Parlor's attacking methods in turn to threaten Schalke 04's gate.

However, the Schalke 04 team's defense line is maintained well, and their physical condition is also quite good. Henry is also being watched to death.

After 20 minutes, Wenger stood up. He switched hands and signaled Parlor to press forward. The team changed to 4-1-4-1 and began to attack aggressively.

Du Shasha sat in the stands, watching the team's offensive performance with relish.

Wenger is an attacking coach and likes a good attack.The interspersed movement of Parlor and Ljungberg quickly disrupted the established defense of the Schalke 04 team.

The running positions of Henry and Pires are also a bit lost, and the opportunity will come soon.

In the 29th minute, Parlor and Freddie Ljungberg cooperated consecutively, and the ball was passed directly into the penalty area. Henry appeared there like a ghost, pushed the ball into the far corner, and Arsenal 1:0 ahead.

The Gunners fans cheered immediately at the Highbury Stadium, and Du Shasha also jumped up to celebrate happily. This is the characteristic of Arsenal, smooth passing, Henry's finishing ability; this is also the rhythm of winning, when the opponent cannot guard against When Arsenal pass the ball, then victory is not far away.

Seeing the home team's goal, Taylor used several 'goals' in the live broadcast to express his excitement. Lineker is also very optimistic about Arsenal's prospects.

However, if you think that the game is over, you would be wrong.

Seeing that the team couldn't defend Arsenal's attack, Schalke 04's Dutch coach Stevens also stood up and walked to the sidelines to signal the players to come out and attack.

This Schalke 04 team also has a good offensive ability. The veteran midfielder Muller has maintained a good competitive state. Sander and Asamoah on the front line are strong and strong, and they are good players in the charge.

Moreover, next to Muller, there is Belgian star Wilmots.

After the game restarted, the Schalke 04 team immediately launched a round of attack.

Muller took the ball and made a diagonal pass to the right. Mponsa and Ashley got the ball first after facing off. Facing Ashley Cole's experienced defense, Mponsa actually hoisted directly into the penalty area.

'Buffalo' Asamoah pushed Upson up and jumped up. He headed down hard and the ball flew between Seaman's hands.

There is no doubt about Asamoah's impact, but his shooting accuracy is not flattering. He obviously used too much force on this ball. Although the ball passed Seaman, it bounced directly to the crossbar after rebounding. Back to the restricted area.

Immediately, a group of people in the penalty area turned their backs. In the chaos, the Danish star Sander hit the ball with his knee, and the ball flew into the goal dangling.

1:1, the score was soon equalized by the Schalke 04 team!

This time it was the Schalke 04 fans' turn to cheer in London. Although the number was small, their screams were so piercing that the Arsenal fans felt resentful.

"There is a problem with Upson's bouncing of the ball. If Campbell is used to mark Asamoah, I am afraid there will be no problem. It seems that I have to cheat and lend a little ability to Upson." Du Shasha thought secretly thought.

On the bench, Arsenal's old captain Adams sat quietly in the middle.

"Well, let's lend Adams' ability to Upson. I believe that with Adams' ability and Upson's stability, Arsenal's defense will not have any problems. There are three central defenders. Fighting!" Du Shasha looked at Adams' position, and immediately thought of lending Adams' ability to Upson.

There is a system of cheating, which is a blessing for Arsenal.

"Sister Zhiling, I want to lend Adams' ability to Upson." Du Shasha secretly issued an order to the system.

"Okay, as you wish." Zhiling's sister's lazy voice came, "The match is successful, and Upson will have Adams' abilities until the end of the game."

But at this moment on the court, Upson, who had just lost the ball because of Asamoah's pressure, suddenly shook his body. He suddenly raised his head, and his resolute eyes shocked Campbell next to him!
"Brothers, counterattack immediately, we need to score one, score one!" Upson not only accepted Adams' athletic ability, but also inherited Adams' temper. Teammates are commonplace.

"Hey, I didn't expect Upson to have such an adjustment ability. It seems that I don't have to worry about it." Wenger on the sidelines was just about to stand up, but after hearing what Upson said, he immediately sat down again.

"Yes, the conceding the goal this time was an accident. We only need to score one more than our opponent, and that's enough!" Captain Vieira also looked at Upson in surprise, and then said.

The Arsenal players were completely irritated by Schalke 04's goal, and then they launched a crazy attack on Schalke 04's goal!

Parlor and Freddie Ljungberg dispatched in the middle, Ashley Cole and Van Bronckhorst also continued to insert assists. Arsenal's offense is getting better and better. It can be described in four words, So smooth!
However, the Schalke 04 team also had a trick. They began to frequently use foul tactics to disrupt Arsenal's offensive rhythm.

In the 39th minute, Wilmots knocked Ljungberg sideways and received a yellow card;
In the 41st minute, Asamoah retreated to participate in the defense and shoveled Parlor from behind, and also received a yellow card;
In the 43rd minute, the veteran Muller took a covert action of pulling Ljungberg's jersey, but still failed to escape the referee's eyes, and received the third yellow card of the Schalke 5 team within 04 minutes!
