Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunners Chapter 215 The First Goal of the Final
Arsenal and Bayern are not conservative in this game, Bayern has played against Hoffenheim where Li Huan is in the Bundesliga for many years, and knows that it is almost impossible to defend Li Huan completely by stubbornly, Li Huan is almost a player born to break the dense defense, QUAnbEN, even if you want to pursue a draw, you must attack it and block Arsenal's attack in the midfield.
Arsenal and Bayern are both world-class giants, and they are very clear about each other's style of play, the technical characteristics and condition of the players, and they have been studied very carefully before the game, so it can be said that there are no secrets to anyone. It's all about strength and luck.
In terms of comprehensive strength, Arsenal's players are slightly higher than Bayern's, but they definitely belong to a grade of teams, Bayern's players are slightly older, experienced, and belong to a power-based style of play, Arsenal's players are young, energetic, and skilled, and the two teams are a contest of styles.
Originally, Ribery, Lahm and Robben were rare technical players in the Bayern camp, but after Ribery was replaced by Altentop, Bayern was almost left with a hard-bridged and hard-horse power impact style of play. The attacking routine was very direct, with Arjen Robben and Lahm delivering low crosses and cutting inside, midfielder Schweinsteiger cutting forward and shooting from distance, and occasionally launching long balls from the back.
Bayern's style of play is similar to most teams in the Premier League, and Arsenal are quite comfortable coping with it, except for being caught off guard by Robben's pass and Muller's volley in the opening stages, Vermaelen and Galla did not give the youngster Muller another chance, and the two experienced veterans took Muller seriously.
Another striker, Olich, practiced long-distance running on the pitch in a hurry, and the threat to the attack was not as big as the ever-present Muller, and many times it was enough for the two midfielders to take care of it.
Now Arsenal's biggest threat is still from Bayern's wings Robben and Lahm, even with the help of Walcott and Song, Klich is still unguardable, from time to time by Robben and Lahm on the side to complete crosses.
However, Arsenal's right side poses a threat to Bayern's left side, without Nasri, Eduardo does not have many times to defend, although Li Huan lacks an assistant, but the space on the side is larger, such space can completely allow Li Huan to play his speed to the extreme.
Altentop is also very fast, but in front of Li Huan, who comes and goes like the wind, Altentop looks very clumsy, and is shaken by Li Huan from time to time, and has to rely on the support of Van Bommel and Schweinsteiger in the middle.
The game played 20 minutes and neither team scored the back of the net, but both managers sat quietly in the dugout, not dictating the situation on the field, and both showed great confidence.
At this time, the commentators recalled that 05 stood on the field of the final for the second time, the professor was much calmer than the last time, and when he participated in the final for the first time, every mistake of the team members would make the professor jump like thunder and fidget, it was the professor's lack of calmness and lack of experience that made Arsenal at its peak lose the opportunity to reach the top of the Champions League, and fulfilled the reputation of Barcelona's dream second team...... And the Frenchman at this moment was clearly confident in the game, and when Muller hit the post, the professor didn't even jump......"
Wenger's composure is because he has Li Huan as the trump card, since Li Huan joined Arsenal, Wenger can't remember how many times this Chinese broke the deadlock for Arsenal and locked the victory, in this most important moment in Arsenal's history, Wenger believes that Li Huan will definitely stand up, the professor does not know when, but he is sure that Li Huan will stand up.
Louis van Gaal is emotionally stable because he's happy with the situation and that's what he wants to see, until extra-time, until penalties, everything is over.
The game scene is very intense, there is no lack of passes, no lack of team cooperation, and no lack of shots, but the lack of goals still makes the fans feel dissatisfied, just like the strength of the whole body is not used, Arsenal and Bayern fans wave their arms to cheer for their players, chanting "one in"
In the 23rd minute, the middle lane, which had been in a state of silence, changed abruptly.
Cesc Fabregas and Diaby took advantage of the piggy's opportunity to defend on the side, and played a wonderful one-two in the midfield in succession, quickly passing through the midfield and hitting the 30-meter area of Bayern.
Bayern captain Van Bommel quickly pounced on Fabregas, the irascible Dutchman has always been known for his fierce tackles, but today facing Arsenal, Van Bommel had to restrain his temper, because a foul in this area is almost equivalent to a foul in the penalty area, and Li Huan's little Li Feidao can directly kill Bout.
However, Cesc Fabregas didn't even give Van Bommel a chance to foul, and before the Dutchman could pounce, Cesc Fabregas's very hidden diagonal ball penetrated the gap between Demichelis and Van Bommel and suddenly sent it to the feet of right wing-back Li Huan
At this time, the audience found out that Li Huan didn't know when he actually crossed the layers of defense and reached the left side of Bayern's penalty area.
Li Huan was still standing next to Bayern left-back Bad Stuber, but Li Huan did not give Bad Stuber the opportunity to foul and touch the ball, when the ball passed to Li Huan's feet, Li Huan did not stop, and when the ball passed slightly over his body, Li Huan stepped on the ball and turned around, and used a Marseille slalom from the inside of Bad Stuber to the outside.
Marseille slalom is the representative action of the dribbling master Zidane, almost all professional players and most amateur players will do this action, but Li Huan did this action at this time is wonderful, not only got rid of Bad Stuber's defense, but also stood on the outside of the smaller number of defenders.
Seeing Li Huan's skillful and fast Marseille maneuver, Zidane in the VIP box had a smile on his face, and couldn't help but applaud Li Huan, and Platini, who was sitting next to Zidane, praised: "This action is really done with your style." ”
Zidane smiled, "If he plays in the midfield, he will definitely be world-class." ”
Bad Stuber hurriedly turned around and grabbed back, but Li Huan had already accelerated to the bottom, Bad Stuber couldn't turn around and was left far behind, Olic was not caught up yet, and could only watch Li Huan easily cross the bottom.
When Li Huan crossed from the bottom, Bayern's central defenders Van Bitten and Demichelis, and Arsenal forwards Robin van Persie and Eduardo had already rushed into the box. The four of them squeezed the opponent with their bodies while grabbing Li Huan's pass.
Known as the fox in the box, Eduardo showed his excellent nose in the box, and he was the first of the four to reach out and stab the ball that flew wide.
Eduardo's shot was less than 5 metres from the goal, a lightning-fast distance that even the quickest reflexes could not make a save.
However, just as all the Arsenal were standing up to celebrate, Eduardo actually stabbed the ball into the leg of goalkeeper Bout, who couldn't dodge it.
There was a sigh on the pitch, and the Arsenal players on the bench slapped their thighs in frustration.
Wenger was also stimulated by the ball to stand up, and saw Eduardo stabbing the goalkeeper with the must-score goal, Wenger sat down again, his face flushed, the professor was obviously angry with Eduardo, and it was estimated that if he had a heart attack, he should recommit it now.
"Arsenal's brilliant attack, Fabregas and Diaby's wonderful one-two, Li Huan's Marseille maneuver, wonderful performance, Eduardo's shot was a pity, it actually shot to Bout's leg, as long as the ball didn't hit the goalkeeper's body, it was a steady goal. It was Arsenal's most dangerous shot since the opening kick-off, and the closest it came to a goal...... Yes...... De Michaelis clearance error...... The ball was kicked in front of Li Huan...... Ahh......hhh Li Huan scored the ball directly at goal...... The ball went into ......"
Bayern was destined to concede the goal, Eduardo stabbed the ball in Bout's leg and bounced it in front of Demichelis, Demichelis did not dare to pause, and directly wanted to clear the siege, but he kicked the ball in a hurry, and the ball fell directly in front of Li Huan.
This back and forth was so fast and incoherent that goalkeeper Bout didn't even react.
At 1-0, Arsenal took the lead.
“…… The beautiful Li Huan's shot was too accurate, even without a little preparation time, Li Huan's volley still hit the back corner accurately and broke the deadlock...... Demichelis made another clever assist, and I wonder if Demi's law will become a reality again this time......"
Li Huan rushed to the corner flag area, pulled down the corner flag and waved it at the fans, as if he was like a soldier who had won a battle and planted the flag on the head of the opponent's city.
Professor Arsene Wenger had barely sat down in his seat, and before he could raise his head, he heard cheers and looked back blankly to see that the team had scored. Arsene Wenger immediately jumped up from the dugout in surprise and delight, hugging his assistant coach and substitutes one by one.
"Demichelis is him again" Van Gaal kicked the turf hard in anger, he had been admonishing the frizzy centre-back before the game, but now it seems that Demichelis has not accepted the lesson. Now Van Gaal can only hope that Demy's law will be fulfilled again, although Van Gaal does not believe in it too much.
