Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 163 This is Li Huan's moment
In the two dialogues between the old and new kings, Li Huan won all of them and created a goal, and Henry's old age is already obvious. Fans at the Emirates Stadium both lamented the old king's passing and were pleased with the new king's accession. If some time ago, Arsenal fans only thought that Li Huan could become the new king of the Emirates Stadium from the team's results and Li Huan's goals, then now in front of Henry, the old king, Li Huan's performance is equivalent to being directly crowned.
Of course, it takes a win to back it up.
After Arsenal's goal, the on-site commentator became even more nervous, and he kept calling on Arsenal to strengthen their defense and continue his record of six clean sheets against Spanish teams.
But Barcelona are by no means a team that easily admits defeat, and their never-ending attack is their credo.
In the 36th minute, Barcelona launched its own uncommon way of attacking, central defender Pique suddenly made a long pass to the front in the half, Song was not tight, Ibrahimovic who was 1.92 meters tall took two steps quickly, and saw Arsenal's goalkeeper Almunia standing in front, and the Swede penalty area 12 yards on the right side of the right foot outside the instep shot the goal, Almunia couldn't react, and could only watch the ball fly into the net from the side of his body.
1:1.
This goal was like a thunderclap on the ground! Before Arsenal could react, Ibrahimovic scored.
More than 60,000 fans at the scene were casually cheering for their team, and suddenly saw Barcelona scoring a goal, they were all stunned, and the scene was deadly.
Ibrahimovic jumped high and roared at the Emirates Stadium to celebrate, the Swede is so arrogant because he played for Inter Milan was eliminated by the Premier League team for two consecutive seasons, and Ibrahimovic did not score a goal, the English media looked down on Ibrahimovic very much, thinking that Ibrahimovic is a goalscorer who can only pinch soft-footed crabs, and will evaporate at critical moments, and the top giants of the Premier League will definitely not provide him with a place. And Ibrahimovic's goal was a breath of sulk in his chest.
“…… This is a [***] type goal, Barcelona, which has always infiltrated the football world with short passes, scored with a long pass! Ibrahimovic! It's the unconventional Swede who scored a beautiful goal with his gorgeous outside instep! This is Ibrahimovic has scored nearly 7 goals in 9 games, and has scored 5 goals in the last 4 games...... The game has become a bit difficult for Arsenal, an away goal is equivalent to a half, Guardiola has achieved his goal, and Arsenal have to turn the situation around, and it is very dangerous to play at Camp Nou with such a scoreline......"
Ibrahimovic scored, Guardiola was excited, the young coach clenched his fists, made a roaring posture, away to challenge Arsenal, who is in amazing form this season, Barcelona has no chance of winning, except for the Spanish media, the outside world is rarely optimistic about Barcelona, Ibrahimovic's goal makes Barcelona more active away from home, Arsenal is bound to attack behind, Guardiola is very confident in his team's attacking power, he believes that Barcelona will not lose in the attack.
In the face of conceding a goal, Wenger was not moved, the professor never considered keeping a clean sheet against Barcelona, whether it was at home or away, facing the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, Arsenal, who had won almost every game, almost conceded a goal, how could it be possible to keep a clean sheet against Barcelona, which is the second most attacking force in Europe. Arsene Wenger's bet is on attack, and he believes Arsenal can score more goals than Barca.
The game continued on the pitch and Arsenal went on the attack.
Fabregas, the core of the midfield, knocked the ball back to Li Huan on the side, and then quickly stepped forward. After Li Huan received Fabregas's pass, he didn't wait for the opponent to rush up, and directly raised his foot to find Bendtner. The whole situation on the pitch was in his field of vision. The advantage of being a defender is being able to see the big picture.
Bendtner had his back to goal and Pique behind him, but he had no chance to turn and his header was flicked wide to the left.
Arsenal winger Walcot had rushed to Barcelona's penalty area at this time, and in the face of Bendtner's pass, the little tiger led his chest, suddenly accelerated, and even dribbled the ball out between Alves and Iniesta.
Walcott's explosiveness was so strong that neither Alves nor Iniesta had time to close the doors.
This wonderful pause continued, and the stands instantly resounded with a tidal wave of applause.
"Nice moves! Completely combining its own advantages, Little Tiger is becoming more and more mature! …… Theo... Theo!!
"Shot!! Walcott shoots directly into the corner of the box...... Pity...... Valdés saves the ball! ”
After Arsenal's long pass failed to work, Arsenal began to control the ball and look for Barcelona's flaws through smooth passing! Long passing and hanging is just a way for Arsenal to show their attack, there are high points and fast horses in the front, and there are long ball masters like Li Huan and Cesc Fabregas in the back, Arsenal naturally will not risk penetrating in the middle. But when Barcelona were on guard against Theo Walcott and Bendtner, Arsenal immediately offered the same skills of penetrating in the middle and down the wings.
Although Arsenal's short pass penetration is not as skilled as Barcelona's, and the ball speed is not so fast, but after years of running-in, it is by no means comparable to ordinary teams, and when Arsenal is in possession of the ball, Barcelona also has to use fouls and numbers to disrupt the Gunners' passes.
Now Barcelona face a difficulty, that is, they do not dare to let Arsenal rush into their 30-meter area to pass, because in this area they do not dare to foul easily, but with Barca's defensive ability, it is almost impossible to completely keep Arsenal out of the 30-meter area.
In the 44th minute of the game, Arsenal quickly pierced Barcelona's second line of defense through a quick and concise pass in the middle, Bendtner leaned on Pique to cover, Cesc Fabregas stepped forward in the middle to assist, Klich answered on the side, and then Walcott, who held the ball, took advantage of his speed to easily eat Iniesta to the edge of the penalty area.
Seeing that Arsenal's attack hit their own lethal position in the blink of an eye, and they could shoot at any time, the centre-back Golden Lion King Puyol quickly stepped up to the mark, and he roared towards Walcott like an angry lion.
Ordinary people would be frightened to the point that Puyol's legs would go weak when they saw Puyol's fierce appearance, but Walcot was a little tiger who was not afraid of the lion king, he made a gesture to hit the goal, and suddenly rushed down to the bottom of the penalty area, trying to use his speed to eat Puyol.
"Opportunity Opportunity Opportunity Opportunity !!! Walcourt deceived Puyol...... It's time to enter the restricted area!! "Arsenal's commentators were thrilled.
How can a world-famous central defender like Puyol, Barcelona's iron-blooded captain, let Walcoat play like a hairy boy, even if it is a foul, Puyol will not let Walcoat rush into the penalty area.
Puyol fell straight to the ground and tackled the leg behind Walket from the side, and Walcott staggered forward before finally falling on the line of the penalty area.
“…… Ahh......hh Puyol tackle! Walcott fell to the ground!! Fouled...... Fouled...... Xiao Li Feidao has a chance to show! Oh God, Busaka showed Puyol a yellow card! The Barcelona captain explains...... The referee didn't listen to him...... "The on-site commentator was full of passion.
The stands first held their breath, then an exclamation, and then all of them gave a standing ovation, cheering for the team's wonderful attack, and also preparing for Xiao Li's flying knife performance.
"It's Li Huan's moment! The new king of the Emirates Stadium will prove to the world that this is the home of the Gunners. ”
The on-site commentator solemnly stood up and solemnly announced to the fans in the stadium and to the fans all over the world.
Yes, it's Li Huan's moment, and fans all over the world are staring at the Chinese defender.
The World Footballer shook his black hair in a round of applause, snapped his fingers at the fans, and walked to the penalty spot as if signaling to the fans that I would pay for it.
"It's so stylish!"
"That's cool!"
"Handsome!"
post-90s female fans closed their eyes tightly, imagining that they were being caressed in the arms of the current star of the great enemy.
"What cool and handsome, this is temperament!"
"It's so free! , with connotation! ”
The rotten women are also fascinated by it, and they also think that these brainless post-90s generations can't appreciate Li Huan's inner beauty at all, and only know that they like handsome guys.
Valdés glared at Li Huan, waving his fist at the Chinese to demonstrate, wanting to psychologically intimidate Li Huan, Valdés, who has been growing up in setbacks, is not afraid of challenges and pressure, he thinks this is a good opportunity for him to challenge Xiao Li Feidao again.
Li Huan didn't look at Valdés at all, as if there was no one at the door of the ball, and was concentrating on fiddling with the ball on the turf. Let Valdés almost vomit blood to death.
As if to deliberately anger Valdés, Li Huan put his hand on his ear and asked the fans for applause before the free throw, and the atmosphere of the whole stadium relaxed suddenly, the applause was like thunder, and the applause was endless, like a singing party, not a tense knockout game. After the Arsenal players saw Li Huan's performance, their tense heartstrings also relaxed, and an inexplicable self-confidence grew from the bottom of their hearts.
Li Huan is not pretending to be forced, because he has enough strength, so he is awesome, not pretending.
"Force!" Referee Bussaka's whistle blew.
Without running, standing in front of the ball, Li Huan raised and fell, and the ball drew an extremely beautiful arc and hung directly in the dead corner of the goal.
Valdés, who was still provoking just now, Ba Shen, who has always been known for his bravery and quick reflexes, did not react, he made a preparatory position, and the ball circled in the net.
2:1.
"goalgoal.......... Li Huan goal...... Xiao Li Flying Knife! Li Huan overtook the score, and the new king of the Emirates Stadium once again defended the Gunners' honor......"
The stands were boiling again, with flags waving, scarves, jumping figures, arms, faces distorted with excitement, every corner of the stadium, every molecule in the air was venting the excitement of Arsenal fans.
The Barcelona fans were completely speechless, the opponent was not stunned by this goal, it was a beautiful attack, and it ended with another magical free kick. Arsenal proved they weren't bad. All they lacked was a new king.
