Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 326 Wembley, Here We Come! (below)
In the eighth minute of the second half, the previously stable Brazilian genius Kaka made a mistake in stopping the ball under the pressure of Wilshere and Cesc Fabregas, and the Arsenal team launched a sharp counterattack in an instant, but Van Persie's shot was a little too hasty, and Casillas flew out of the bottom line. Li Huan's corner caused chaos in the Real Madrid penalty area, and Vermaelen showed that he had helped Arsenal with a header.
Then Arsenal's offensive gradually rose, in the twelfth minute, Li Huan predicted in advance to intercept the pass between Kaka and Di Maria, the Chinese first time back long pass to help swim to the middle of the Arshavin almost got a one-knife opportunity, or desperate San Lang Ramos's bold shovel, it is estimated that San Cassie will have to face the Russian tsar directly.
Real Madrid did not flinch their defence either, with the ball moving from Mesut Ozil's feet to Arsenal's left flank. There is Argentine genius Di Maria. Ozil, a young prodigy from Germany, sent the ball diagonally through two or three enemy players to Di Maria's feet.
Arsenal's winger Walcott, who came up to defend for the first time, was fast and had a lot of retreat, but he was not a defender after all, and Di Maria used a beautiful stopper ball to pass Walcoat's ...... like a charge.
Di Maria's beautiful move immediately caused cheers from the Real Madrid fans in the stands, regardless of the victory or defeat, the enthusiastic Spanish fans have a great impression of the beautiful pass and wonderful cooperation, sometimes even more than the love of the result, which is why Capello won the championship in Real Madrid and had to leave the class!
Di Maria's speed was very fast, but he was a little clumsy when he was fighting against Li Huan, he sped up his speed, walked along the side, and came to the left side of Arsenal's penalty area in a blink of an eye!
The Gunners' left wing-back for today is Frenchman Klich. Because Di Maria has been on the right side before, the two sides have not played each other many times, so they dare not be careless. Di Maria knew that Klich's speed was not slow and did not dare to use speed to eat, but he knew through research that Klich's defense was a little impatient and impatient, so the Argentine angel continued to tease Klich with feints.
Chrissy finally couldn't calm down and suddenly stepped forward to steal.
Di Maria had been waiting for this time for a long time, the ball flew past the outside of Chrissy, and Di Maria quickly passed him like a raging cheetah! Di Maria was bullied by Li Huan on the right flank, and now he has taken all his anger out on Chrissy, and he has not left the French with any chance to make amends. Before the ball rolled off the line, the Argentine Heat cut inside and quickly cut into the box. Arsenal's penalty area suddenly jumped with chickens and dogs!
Coming up to defend Di Maria was Gunners defender Vermaelen, who did not make a direct tackle, but carefully blocked Di Maria's passing route. Di Maria was in a position with little angle between the base and the goal, so Terry was not worried about the opposition shooting.
"As an offensive player. Don't hesitate to shoot when you have a chance on the football field. "Di Maria didn't choose to pass back after the passing route was blocked, and directly hit the goal with the outside instep! A look of surprise appeared on the faces of Vermaelen and goalkeeper Fabianski.
I actually shot at goal! What a madman!
Fabianski had already shifted his weight to the outside, ready to pounce on the opposition's pass, and in his hasty adjustment, Fabianski struggled to open his palm to block the incoming ball, but he fell to the ground a little late, and the ball flew under his armpit towards the back post.
"Ahh Ahhhh Straight shot?!! Fabianski did not seal football "dangerous dangerous dangerous!! There was an extremely brief silence.
“…… Li Huan!! Li Huan kicked the ball off the goal line! Arsenal escaped! Li Huan, he is the patron saint of the Emirates Stadium, he is Arsenal's lucky star, if Real Madrid scores three goals in a row, it will be a great blow to Arsenal, and it may even completely change the situation of the game......"
When all Arsenal fans had already given up hope and were ready to accept the unfavorable situation of the team being scored three goals in a row, Li Huan, the king of the Emirates Stadium, kicked the football that was about to roll over the goal line.
Rumble!
There were no goals, but the stands were boiling again! All the Arsenal fans waved their arms and chanted for Li Huan, this is not a goal, but it is more precious than a goal, this goal is scored or not, the impact on the game is too great.
Sidelines. Mourinho, who had already rushed out of the command seat with his fists clenched, kicked the mineral water bottle away with a hard kick. The disappointment is beyond words, what a chance! From Arsenal's performance at the end of the first half, Mourinho knew that if this goal was scored, Real Madrid would definitely have a play, and it would not be a fantasy to complete a super reversal, but now it was ruined by Li Huan's simple kick.
Arsene Wenger's heart was almost beating out of his chest, he was so nervous, and as a coach who has dedicated his life to football, he understands the importance of the ball just now. Li Huan saved the whole team!
When everyone was amazed at the timeliness and importance of Li Huan's kick to clear the siege, they didn't expect that Li Huan still didn't blindly break the siege in such a crisis situation, but kicked to the area where Arshavin was located.
Arshavin always paid attention to Li Huan's position, and when Li Huan judged in advance and rushed to the goal line to clear the siege, he also chose the line of counterattack.
While the Arsenal fans in the stands erupted in cheers like a triumphant escape, while the Real Madrid fans were still beating their chests, the Russian tsar had already attacked the side of the Real Madrid penalty area.
Arshavin is too advanced, there are no players in the middle who have grabbed points, Van Persie's speed is slow, he did not keep up with him, and when Van Persie returns, Ramos will definitely come back, and the opportunity for a quick counterattack will be gone.
Arshavin cut in decisively and was ready to break through Albiol, another of Real Madrid's centre-backs.
Albiol is a Spaniard, because he is also surnamed Raul, so he is called 'Raul who can defend' by Real Madrid fans, he is 1.87 meters tall, but he is fast, flexible in turning, and has a better tenacity to follow and defend closely. However, the sense of position is still not old enough, the defense is still relatively passive defense, and the aggression and position selection are not world-class.
When Arshavin cut inside, Albiol stuck the line of Arshavin's shot, which was the only thing he could do, he was alone in the backfield, and it was impossible to block the shots and passes of the world-class attacking player Arshavin.
Arshavin has played against Albiol in the national team and club, and knows a little about Albiol, but he doesn't understand it very thoroughly, after all, he is a fullback, and there are few direct conversations with the central defender, he has continuously stopped and changed direction, swayed, and made several feints, but he didn't deceive Albiol, then Arshavin knew that the tall defender was not clumsy, and his flexible surname was not even worse than that of a short defender, Arshavin felt that it was not easy for him to break through Albiol, so he had the idea of passing.
When I looked up, I saw that Theo Walcott was rushing at high speed, and the Real Madrid full-back had been thrown out of half of his body.
Arshavin decisively chose to pass the ball and quickly ran to the middle of the penalty area, ready to play with Walcott.
The ball flew past Albiol and in front of Walcott, who slid the ball diagonally towards the penalty area, where there were no defenders in front of him except goalkeeper Casillas.
St. Cassie was not afraid of Walcott with a high-speed dribble, he is the world's number one goalkeeper and has faced almost all world-class strikers, which he is used to.
St. Cassie made a quick move to block Walcott's angle.
Walcott's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and after a false shake, he thought about getting rid of San Cassie, but Casillas is not tall, that is, he reacts quickly and falls to the ground quickly, and before Walcott has taken a step, Casillas reached out and saved the ball at Walcott's feet.
At this time, Arshavin and Albiol also arrived, one wanted to clear the siege, and the other wanted to shoot the empty goal, but when grabbing the position, Albiol's body took a big advantage, he squeezed Arshavin, who was more than 1.7 meters tall, to the side, and hurriedly kicked the ball far away. "St. Cassie's save was a success! Walcourt still couldn't get past Casey and the ball was saved...... Arshavin wanted to grab points, but Albiol around him was like an impregnable wall, and Arshavin could never get over it...... The ball was cleared by Albiol!! Hazard Alarm Lifted ......"
"Ahh Ahhhh What's going on? The ball is in!! It's incredible, it's incredible...... It was Li Huan who scored the goal, and he pumped the ball into Real Madrid's goal with a cold shot in the half...... "Let's take a look at the goal replay...... Walcoat wanted to shake the goalkeeper and was saved by Casillas, Arshavin wanted to grab a point to make up for the shot but was stopped by Albiol, Albiol cleared the half of Arsenal with a big foot, at this time Li Huan, who was running towards Real Madrid's half to assist, stopped the falling ball, and his volley kicked the ball directly into the goal, the camera shows that when Li Huan shot the goal, Cassie did not realize it...... 3:2, Arsenal led again, and the aggregate score became 6:3! ”
"No way! Absolutely no way! Even if God were to wear Casillas's jersey, there would be no way to shoot like this. It was so sudden, he just got up and walked back......"
This moment. The Emirates Stadium was boiling, it can only be said that most of it was boiling, and the fans of Real Madrid were silent, only the fans of Arsenal almost wanted to cry with excitement, cheers and screams tore the eardrums of countless people, and countless black, white and yellow arms of various colors waved in the air. "Li Huan, you are a hero, you are our patron saint!" "Great, Li Huan, we love you, you are our king."
"Li Huan! Please never leave Arsenal, this is your territory. Mourinho shook his head helplessly, what is luck? That's luck. What is Strength? That's strength. Your own shot didn't go in, and the opponent scored with a counterattack. Just two goals can knock out Arsenal, now need to score three, if it was still possible just now, it is because Real Madrid is in high spirits, Arsenal is a little nervous, as long as they take the opportunity to attack it can be achieved, and now Arsenal's fighting spirit is up, they have little hope.
Arsene Wenger was relieved of his anxiety and nervousness, he slammed the drink bottle in his hand to the ground, and hugged the assistant coach tightly, "We won!" It's a win! ”
Assistant coach Rice sorted out the glasses that were crooked by Wenger and said: "The morale is up, and none of us are afraid." ”
After the restart, Arsenal no longer put the offensive dominance in the hands of their opponents, and they also saw that this Spanish aristocratic team is by no means a team that easily admits defeat, they have their own pride and dignity, and they will lose the courage to attack as long as they beat their opponents to the ground.
Arsenal's offensive is like the furious waves of the sea, wave after wave, although Real Madrid also wants to attack, but there is still a certain gap between the two sides in the quality of cooperation, in the second half of the second half of the physical strength declined, the offensive rhythm is extremely fast, this gap is even more obvious, Real Madrid can only rely on the individual ability of the star, and Arsenal is the overall cooperation, the overall strength must be greater than the individual breakthrough, Real Madrid's offensive is declining more and more, and in the end only sporadic counterattacks remain.
"Arsenal's morale has come up, they don't want to give Real Madrid another chance, Arsenal playing at home is also stronger than Real Madrid, and now Real Madrid is playing very passively, and it is impossible to see who is the leading side and who is the lagging side on the field, so if it continues, Arsenal will definitely score again." Arsenal's onslaught finally paid off, Cesc Fabregas won a free-kick in front, and when the referee's whistle blew, the fans in the stands immediately roared, because Li Huan scored a hat-trick as long as the penalty was successful. And Real Madrid is completely out of play.
A contest between the world's No. 1 goalkeeper and the world's No. 1 free-kick master.
Li Huan didn't scratch his head like Ronaldo, because the distance of the ball was only twenty-three or four meters, Li Huan didn't even use to run, he just stood by the ball naturally, and when the referee's whistle sounded, Li Huan raised his foot and shot, the ball flew over the wall and hit the inside of the goalpost and flew into the net, Casillas judged the right direction, but he had nothing to do about the goalpost ball, so he could only admit that he was unlucky.
“goalgoalgoal…… Li Huan scores! This was the third goal of the Chinese in this game, and in the semi-final, Li Huan scored a hat-trick! Facing Mourinho, who is known for his defense, it is difficult to score goals, Li Huan actually scored a hat trick, the nickname of the defender with a knife is really not called in vain, having such a player is definitely a blessing for the Gunners, Wenger's luck, and the luck of the Gunners fans......"
"Li Huan! Li Huan! ”
"I love you! Li Huan! ”……
The fans in the stands stood up and shouted frantically again, and some crazy fans jumped down from the guardrail, wanting to hug their idols, and the security guards on the field suddenly became busy, but the fans who jumped down were like falling flowers, and they couldn't catch them for a while, and the players of the last two teams had to step forward to help restrain the fans.
After a period of farce, the game continued, because the score became 4:2, Real Madrid needed to score five goals, and the time was only 15 minutes, which became an impossible task, so the rest of the game time became garbage time, Real Madrid had no intention of fighting, things were irretrievable, they might as well spend their energy on the league, whether they could win the championship or not, adding a little disgust to Barcelona is better than doing a hopeless struggle here.
Arsenal naturally didn't want to drive Real Madrid crazy, Mourinho's Real Madrid is not a team with grace, and it would be bad to rush to kick and injure a few of their main players, so they also took the opportunity to let go, and finally Arsenal defeated Real Madrid 4:2 and reached the Champions League final with an aggregate score of 7:3.
In the post-match press conference, Mourinho finally conceded defeat himself, and the madman was convinced of the defeat this time, losing by four goals in two games, and he had no excuses.
"Arsenal are the best team in world football right now, they are the real dream team, they have tacit cooperation, they have excellent stars, and of course the most important thing is that they have Li Huan, only when you play against a team with Li Huan can you feel that kind of pressure everywhere."
"Of course, we did well, although we lost the game, I am still happy with the performance of the players, our team has only been running in for less than a year, we are not as good as Arsenal in terms of cooperation, and if you give the players another year, I believe they can wrestle with any team in the world."
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was naturally complacent, and Mourinho had to bow his head and admit defeat, which was the happiest thing for Wenger, who had dreamed of this day in his dreams, and now his dream has become a reality.
'I'm very happy that we reached the final, which was played at Wembley Stadium and it would be a shame for English football and a shame for the English fans if there was no English team in the final. The players were outstanding, and although there was a bit of slackness in between, we were very good at managing our form and we were able to turn things around quickly. ”
'We had a lot of difficulties and of course the well-known curse of defending the Champions League, now that we're in the final, we're going to try to break it, and I'm sure nothing can stand in our way, whether it's Schalke 04 or Manchester United, we're going to win.'
'Jose Mourinho is a great coach, he always wins and titles, but I am a completely different kind of coach than him, I am more used to working for a long time, building a team that is hematopoietic and self-sufficient, and we have a brilliant victory and we have earned the respect of the world, but let's not forget our efforts to stick to technical football for more than a decade."
