Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 321 Away Victory (Part II)
Li Huan is also definitely worthy of Arshavin's trust, and the mutual appreciation between the two existed when they played the League Cup as opponents. After a run-in with Hoffenheim and Arsenal, they are fully familiar with each other's passing and movement, and understand some of each other's special habits.
After Arshavin passed the ball to Li Huan, he immediately walked forward to help Li Huan contain Real Madrid's defensive strength, and at the same time look for opportunities to attack.
Arshavin was walking along the inside line, Li Huan was rushing along the outside line, and the two of them took almost half of Real Madrid's players, and it was not easy for them to calmly break through the encirclement.
However, Li Huan did not mean to cut in, when Arshavin passed the ball, he judged that the situation he was facing was almost impossible to cut inside, because when Arshavin stealed, he was already very close to Real Madrid's penalty area, and did not leave him too much space, he could only cross the bottom.
However, even if it was a cross from the bottom, Li Huan also did something new, he almost raised the speed to the limit and went straight to the bottom line, but when he threw off a position or so of the interior defender, Li Huan slowed down his pace and kept the distance difference between the two sides in one position.
When he was about to reach the bottom line, Li Huan did not pass the ball directly, but suddenly stepped on the ball and stopped the high-speed running body, Li Huan was too fast in front, and when he stopped the ball, he rushed forward almost two meters out of the bottom line, and Marcelo, who ran with Li Huan, was about to hit the billboard.
When Li Huan turned around to hold the ball, the defender Diarra also rushed to the outside of the bottom line, Di Maria in the front court had not yet chased, Li Huan flicked the ball back, passed Di Maria again, and glanced at the penalty area, Van Persie, Walcott and Real Madrid defenders almost rushed into the net. However, Arsenal's second wave of attacking players rushed to the penalty area.
Li Huan easily passed the ball to Fabregas who rushed up, this is a bocce ball, although there are many people in the penalty area, but the goal is more than seven meters long, Fabregas is completely able to break through the door of Casillas's handle without defense.
Cesc Fabregas didn't hesitate as he pushed the ball straight into the far corner with the arch of his foot and into the far corner. The score was rewritten to 2:1.
“…… Yes! Pretty! Sesk. Cesc Fabregas! Espanyol has scored! A beautiful curved ball, floating out of the dust! But it was not Sesk who took the most credit, but the Russian Tsar Arshavin and the Chinese genius Li Huan, who completely tore apart Real Madrid's defense, allowing Sesk to shoot at the goalkeeper with ease...... 2:1, Arsenal took the lead away, if such a score is maintained until the end of the game, Arsenal is almost equivalent to entering the final in advance, I checked the Champions League record, the team that won 2:1 away has never been overturned by the opponent at home......"
It's a special feeling to score in your own country, especially when you score a goal against a team that you played for.
How could Cesc Fabregas not be thrilled, he scored against Barcelona at the Camp Nou and became the object of cheers from the fans in his hometown, and now he has scored again on Spanish soil, no matter what the final score is, Fabregas's personal wish has been fulfilled.
Most of the stands at the Bernabeu Stadium fell silent, 2:1, a figure like a spell that broke the hearts of Real Madrid fans, who all knew what 2:1 meant. They also know that if the score can't be changed, the next game will be Real Madrid's last game.
Real Madrid has been stuck in the Champions League 16 for a long time, they have only made a breakthrough this season, reached the last four of the Champions League, just when Real Madrid fans are about to win the championship every day, they stopped in the semi-finals, not only the players can not accept this fact, even the fans in the stands are not satisfied with the current situation, they chant even more fiercely "Real Madrid stand up!" Real Madrid Real Madrid ......"
Professor Arsene Wenger stood up from the dugout, he had already accepted the score of 1:1, but he did not expect to score, 2:1 is more comforting than Wenger's old nostalgia, he has now felt the breath of the final. What's more, he now has a lot of confidence in his team, and the professor can't think of any other team that Arsenal can't beat.
Mourinho, who was hanging in the stands, sighed, he thought he had a wrong premonition, Real Madrid's performance at the beginning was really amazing, and when the combat effectiveness even exceeded 11 people, he thought that his team could create a miracle, but now the miracle has not happened, Kaka's kick hit the post, and the opponent's Arshavin, Li Huan and Fabregas teamed up to extinguish Real Madrid's hope of a counterattack.
2:1, Real Madrid must score three goals at the Emirates Stadium, which is definitely an impossible task for Real Madrid, Mourinho talked again, glared at the person sent by UEFA to spy on him, wanted to get angry, but finally held back. What's the use of being angry at them, Platini is not here again.
After Arsenal scored the second goal, the dreams of Real Madrid players to qualify for the final were almost all extinguished, but Real Madrid's players did not give up, there are less than five minutes left, counting only six or seven minutes of stoppage time, Real Madrid even if they score again, there is no great possibility of a comeback. Although there is no hope of qualifying, there is a lot of hope for an equaliser, as a team with a proud history, Real Madrid is extremely noble, at this time they cannot lower their proud heads, they must continue to attack, not sit idly by.
After scoring the second goal, Arsenal's players were completely relaxed, although this score did not guarantee their victory in this game, but the knockout rounds were two, this time even if Real Madrid took the shit luck to equalize, it was Arsenal who took the initiative. So the players started to play in the game, not only did they deliberately do all kinds of coordination, but young people like Theo Walcott, Wilshere, and even Cesc Fabregas began to show themselves, and they did little together, it was all individual heroism.
The final minutes of the game were just as tense, with both teams reaching their limits of speed and fitness, and everyone wanted to lie down and sleep, when the players' technical weaknesses, character weaknesses and coordination problems were exposed.
5 minutes passed in a blink of an eye, neither side scored, and then the referee Stark also gave stoppage time, 3 minutes, no more, no less, the referee Stark did not give too much stoppage time, such a game is also pressure on him, the referee, and he also hopes to end the game early.
However, just when everyone lost their vigilance, Li Huan, who had been silent in the backfield, suddenly burst out and stole the ball of the left-back Marcelo, who came up with the assist.
At this time, all the Real Madrid and Arsenal people didn't realize that there was anything wrong, and only saw that Li Huan and Marcelo were still entangled. But in a blink of an eye, everyone found that Marcelo fell on the turf, and only Li Huan quickly ran forward with the ball.
"Danger! Li Huan came up with the ball again! The commentator shouted, as if he could alert the Real Madrid players.
The team is ahead, the opponent is one less, when Li Huan assists again, it is as easy as his teammates, he is not in a hurry to pass the ball, walk along the side, and when he sees the defender intercepting it, Li Huan immediately dodges with the ball and walks to the middle.
Real Madrid intercepted more and more players, but Li Huan was like flowing water, giving shape to things, going up when he saw the air, dribbling without a little regularity, twists and turns, and soon approached the front of Real Madrid's penalty area.
When Alonso didn't have time to block the foul, Real Madrid's central defender Ramos just pressed up, Li Huan made an extremely realistic shooting feint, Ramos had to raise his foot to intercept, but Li Huan was a feint at all, he buckled the ball, changed to the left side, and then raised his foot and slammed it on the ball. The ball went straight to the corner of the goal with the sound of the howling wind.
This is a direct conversation between Li Huan and Casillas, and Cassie's previous performance is not bad and is called a saint. But Li Huan's shot from the edge of the penalty area made it difficult for San Cassie.
Li Huan's angle was very awkward, and he was still far away from Cassie's position, so Cassie had to move his position and fly to save again.
With Casillas' height, high balls have always been his weakness, and this ball is a test of his reflexes and saving ability.
Casillas pounced!
Even if he flew, he couldn't keep up with the speed of the ball.
3:1, Li Huan helped Arsenal lock up the win with a goal full of personal heroism and widened the gap between the two teams.
“goalgoalgoal…… Li Huan...... Li Huan scored, he completed a goal of great personal heroism, he is Arsenal's Jordan, Maradona ......"
Li Huan was also very excited after the goal, and he rushed to the stands of Arsenal fans with his head covered with his jersey.
Although there were not many Arsenal fans in the stands, they were very united and harmonious, and when they saw Li Huan scoring a goal, they all jumped up, stretched out their arms as if they wanted to touch Li Huan, and shouted "Beautiful!" Strike! "Kill Barcelona!"
Arsene Wenger hugged his coach and substitutes and celebrated the victory they didn't expect, with three goals away from home and they all but assured of a place to qualify for the final.
Mourinho in the stands finally got tired of it, he didn't look at the UEFA watchdogs, got up and walked straight out.
"Force! Force! Forcing ......"
Referee Stark's whistle finally sounded, and the game was over, Arsenal beat Real Madrid 3-1 away, laying a solid foundation for entering Wembley Stadium, and Arsenal, as the defending champions, is also very likely to reach the Champions League final for the first time and successfully defend the title.
