The rise of greenery

Back, after a month, Luo Wu finally returned to the land of England.

He hurriedly fell asleep, after all, he had been in the Middle East for a month, and there were too many differences in jet lag, so he had to adjust as soon as possible.

But in fact, it is not so easy. Many players returned to their national team to play games, and then their condition dropped a lot after returning, which was caused by jet lag.

There are still more than ten hours before the semi-final between Chelsea and Arsenal. How could he be reversed?

But Luo Wu didn't want to miss this opportunity, he didn't want the team to be eliminated.

That's why he hurried back.

I just don’t know if Emery will approve him to enter the squad if he applies to Emery later.

Not to mention the starting lineup, as long as he enters the squad, he just played in the Asian Cup final yesterday, so how could he start today.

But he hopes he can get about half an hour of playing time, at least to help Arsenal.

After forcing himself to sleep for more than six hours at home, he immediately called Emery and told him his thoughts.

After hesitating for a while, Emery finally nodded.

Immediately following Emery, he immediately called the assistant coach and asked the assistant coach to revise the team roster and overturned the previously given starting list.

Originally Emery wanted to give up, after all, he was two goals behind Chelsea.Still playing away, there is almost no chance of a comeback, so simply arrange some substitute players to come on the field, but now Luo Wu said that he will play this game, so the starting list must be adjusted.

They must play with the strongest lineup. If Arsenal can withstand Chelsea's attack in the first half, score a draw or score a goal, then if they send Luo Wu to the field in the second half, they may still have the power to fight.

He chose to trust Luo Wu, that's why he did this...

Almost no one knows that Luo Wu has returned to England. Everyone thinks that he is still celebrating the Asian Cup championship in the UAE. How could he come back now, let alone that he has entered the squad for the game?

It wasn't until Arsenal's roster news appeared on the Internet that everyone suddenly realized that Luo Wu was really back.

Not only came back, but also entered the team's roster, which means that he is likely to play.

Chelsea coach Sarri was nervous, and he was in a bad mood when he heard the name Luo Wu.

But he thought about it, it was impossible for Luo Wu to start the game, and it was impossible to play a game yesterday.Let's play another game today, this should be a smoke bomb for Emery.

So he was nervous and nervous, and he still didn't make any adjustments.

Chelsea players actually don't have much idea, anyway, everyone wants to send Arsenal to the west and advance to the final.

After all, Luo Wu's prestige has not appeared in England for more than a month, and everyone may not have the same pressure in their hearts before.

During the pre-match meeting, Sarri was basically talking about Arsenal’s Haaland and how to prevent Haaland from scoring, but everyone was full of confidence. It is impossible for a Haaland to help Arsenal solve the problem, let alone Chelsea are two goals ahead on aggregate.

Arsenal fans are the happiest. After learning that the team's star and captain Luo Wu has returned, their confidence was rekindled. More than 5000 fans arrived at Stamford Bridge.

They believe there will be a scene where the hero returns.

As for Luo Wu's teammates, the mood may not be the same. The old teammates are all waiting for him to come back, and they must be happy.

The new guys who joined may not be so, especially Harland. Harland has been thinking about grabbing Luo Wu's core position. His performance is also quite good, but Luo Wu's return made him instantly Enormous pressure.

He had to prove himself in the game today, otherwise he would be ridiculed to death after the game.

If you want to win the position but don't have the strength, it will be even worse if you want Luo Wu to save the field.

But Luo Wu didn't care about Harland. Harland was very strong, but he couldn't threaten him at all.

And the two of them are not in the same position, there is nothing to argue about, it's just that Harland is too naive.

It's just that I didn't expect this guy to be so hypocritical. Before joining, he kept saying that he wanted to play football with him. After joining, he performed amazingly, and now he is lawless...

But in the starting lineup, Emery did not let Luo Wu play, which is actually predictable.

Luo Wu's physical fitness is not enough to support the 180-minute game for two consecutive days.

He is a man, not a god.

In the Sky Sports live broadcast stands, Ferdinand laughed after seeing Luo Wu's name.

"How do I feel that Emery regards Luo Wu as a bull? There is no Luo Wu's name in the starting lineup, but I believe Emery will find a way to let him play in the second half."

"The starting lineup for Arsenal now is Leno in goal, Bellerin at right back, the kid just came back from injury. Papastathopoulos and Koscielny at centre-back, Kolasi at left-back Natz."

"Why didn't the Dutchman De Ligt play today?"

"I think this kid is more stable than these old guys."

"In midfield, it's Guendouzi, Torreira and Van der Beek."

"The forwards are Saka, Harland, and Ronaldo."

"Chelsea has Dele Alli in goal, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, David Luiz and Max Alonso at the back, Kante, Jorginho and Kovacic in midfield. , the front three are Pedro, Hazard and Willian."

"Although this is Stamford Bridge, the Arsenal fans are more excited. Now they are shouting the name of the team captain Luo Wu, as if they are going to turn this place into a home stadium. I don't know if the Chelsea fans are panicked. Anyway, this guy Once it appears here, it is more or less frightening."

At this time, Luo Wu was sitting quietly on the bench, chatting with his teammate Iwobi. He looked in a good mood, but his face still looked quite tired, after all, the jet lag hadn't reversed yet.

He yawned again and again.

The head coach Emery is quite nervous, and has been chatting with the starting disciples by the side of the court.

The first task in the first half is to withstand Chelsea's attack, and we must not let Chelsea score again. If we can keep a tie, then Luo Wu still has a chance when he plays in the second half.

……

beep,

The whistle blew, and the second round of the League Cup semi-final officially started.

Arsenal took the lead in the kick-off. The team's spirit was good. They turned away from home at the beginning and wanted to suppress Chelsea to play. However, Chelsea's defense has always been quite good. They dare to say that they are the second in the Premier League defense. No one would dare Say first.

Although Arsenal passed quite quickly, they couldn't tear through Chelsea's defense.

The most outstanding performance is naturally the guy Harland, who runs to the side for a while and then runs to the middle, actively responding to the ball from his teammates, but the problem is that no one can pass the ball to his feet.

Under the care of the Chelsea defender, he was almost caught in a lonely battle.

The tough Chelsea midfielder's interception success rate is also quite efficient. On the contrary, they almost created a chance to score in the 5th minute of the opening. It's a pity that Jorginho passed the ball diagonally to Pedro, and Pedro's right foot Kicked the ball into the side netting.

The strength of the Spanish winger can only be said to be on the horizontal line. It is far from a world-class winger. If this is a world-class peak, the ball may be shot directly.

However, this did not affect the emotions of the Chelsea players. In the subsequent games, Chelsea still made Arsenal at a loss. Although Chelsea appeared on the court in a defensive posture, Arsenal's offense was actually unable to play.

Ronaldo and Saka frequently retreated to catch the ball in their own half, but after halftime, they fell into the siege of the opponent again. Although Torreira and Guendouzi responded actively, the physical confrontation Not as good as Jorginho and Kante.

In the midfield battle, Arsenal were completely defeated. In the 19th minute, the ball reached Hazard's feet.

Hazard played a guest role as a center forward today. He dodged left and right, and he simply shook the Dutchman Van der Beek away.

Immediately after Hazard dribbled the ball and continued to advance, striding meteors rushed to the top of Arsenal's penalty area. Although Torreira came to defend in time, Hazard flicked the ball to the left lightly, and his left foot immediately A curve ball was drawn, and the ball went straight to the upper left corner of the goal!

But today Hazard seemed to be out of luck. The ball hit the left lintel and popped out of the bottom line.

Chelsea once again missed a chance to take the lead.

After 20 minutes, the two sides became more cautious, especially Arsenal, who no longer dared to attack easily. After all, Emery's goal was to keep the draw. .

But there is no burden on Chelsea. If Arsenal show weakness, then Chelsea will move forward instead.

Jorginho once again pushed the ball straight to Hazard in front of him. Hazard ran two steps to the right and pulled the ball to the left in front of him. Haaland, who came back, directly used his physical advantage to beat Ahzard. Zall, Hazard lost the ball.

But the referee called Haaland a foul.

After Hazard got up, he immediately sent a free kick. The ball was directly stuffed into Arsenal's left rib. Pedro cut into the penalty area again to get the ball, and then quickly pocketed the ball to the other side.

William rushed to the left, but Bellerin was very fast and immediately stood in front of him. William could only wade the ball to the middle.

Papastathopoulos also blocked it in time. William finally had to knock the ball horizontally into the middle, and the Italian Jorginho who followed him volleyed with his right foot. The ball was ridiculously high.

As the core player of Italy, this footwork is too unreasonable.

Followed by Arsenal's attempt to counterattack, but Chelsea's pressure was timely. Torreira, who took the ball in the middle, failed to pass the ball to Saka in the front right.

Kovacic immediately took a curved ball and handed the ball to Hazard in front of him. Hazard took a step laterally to try to shake off Van der Beek. Especially passive.Hazard followed up with a smash and turned and rushed from the other direction, and Arsenal's center was wide open again.

Buzzing, Hazard rushed to the front of the Arsenal penalty area after taking a few steps. Without giving Papastathopoulos any time to adjust, he immediately flicked the ball to the right, and heeled again with his right foot. volley!

boom!

Koscielny flew to block the hole of the gun, but the referee's whistle also sounded at this moment, and then he gestured for a handball, and then immediately pointed to the penalty spot.

"Oops, this is a penalty kick. Koscielny did have a handball. There is nothing wrong with this penalty kick. If this is the case, Chelsea will probably lead, and the score may be rewritten to 4:1."

"The Italian Jorginho stood in front of the penalty spot. He was the team's first penalty shooter. The question is why does Sarri trust him so much?"

"I always feel that it is more appropriate for Hazard to punish this ball."

But Sarri is all about giving the ball to his darling.

Stanford Stadium became very quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on Jorginho. Jorginho's run-up was very slow, and he stopped suddenly after halfway through the run. After shaking his body twice, he pretended to raise his head raised his right foot.

As a result, he didn't shoot the goal at the first time. When he took the second kick, he finally pushed the ball to the lower right corner of the goal!

But Arsenal goalkeeper Leno judged quite accurately. After he fell sideways, he slapped the ball out of the baseline with his left hand.

The ball didn't go in...

"Ooh~"

"Jorginho missed the penalty kick! There shouldn't be much pressure on this ball. It stands to reason that the probability of penalty is very high, but Jorginho's shot is weak. Although it is a bit angled, it is too simple. .”

"Give him a chance, but he didn't even grasp it, so what can we do? I just said that Hazard should send it."

Luo Wu, who was on the bench, stood up for the first time. Kobe shouted with both arms. He was also quite nervous. If the goal was scored, the score would be 1:4 behind.

This time Luo Wu's spirit rose.

Arsenal fans in the stands immediately chanted Leno's name.

If it weren't for the heroic performance of the German No. [-] goalkeeper, Arsenal would be behind.

However, the ball still belongs to Chelsea. Hazard took a corner kick. Arsenal center Haaland finally got the ball in his own penalty area and helped the team make a successful clearance.

This may be his best performance so far.

But Kanter on the periphery got the ball again and immediately assigned it to the right.Azpilicueta stepped forward and immediately sent a 45-degree cross!

It was still the Arsenal player who hit the ball.

Today's Chelsea don't have a center forward, why did they lack a center before?

Bellerin on the right got the ball, and immediately took the ball and rushed forward. He has absolute speed!

But unfortunately, seeing that he was about to fly, Jorginho's flying tackle came in time, and the ball was tackled out of the sideline by him.

When the boundary ball was thrown out again, Chelsea had already returned to the defense and Arsenal lost the chance to counterattack.

Although Chelsea missed a penalty kick, morale was not lost, but even more fierce!

The two sides engaged in a tug-of-war in the midfield and fought fiercely. As a result, at the end of the first half, the score was still 0:0.

Emery must be happy with the result.

Easy to fight again.

The exciting moment finally came, everyone saw that Luo Wu was already standing in the substitution area.

The live camera even captured him yawning, and he still looked like he hadn't woken up yet.

Ferdinand shouted: "The king of Arsenal is back."

"The gun king is back!"

"When the danger comes, the game really begins!"
