Chapter 142 Cazorla! Explosion!
"This is the Emirates Stadium, the second leg of the 2014-2015 Champions League semi-finals between Arsenal and Bayern Munich is about to begin!"
There was a hint of nervousness in the voice of the on-site commentator George Adams.
Today, he specially passed on the Arsenal jersey for the 2005-06 season.
It's just a good sign, hoping to help Arsenal reach the Champions League final like that summer.
Of course, he also knows very well how powerful Arsenal's opponent, Bayern Munich, is.
Therefore, this game becomes even more critical.
The melody of the Champions League theme song echoed throughout the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal fans began to hum along unconsciously.
But they were extremely nervous and worried inside.
Especially as time passes.
Their eyes drifted to the tunnel from time to time.
"It's about to begin! It's about to begin!"
"Arsenal! We have to win!!"
“So nervous!!”
"My hands are starting to go numb!"
"God! Let us win!"
As Arsenal fans continued to pray, the spotlight became brighter at night.
Players from both teams began to walk out of the tunnel.
Arsenal wears red and white home jerseys and Bayern Munich wears black away jerseys.
"The much-anticipated Champions League semi-finals are finally about to begin."
"Arsenal and Bayern Munich walked into the Emirates Stadium under the leadership of the referee team. Between these two teams from the Premier League and the Bundesliga, who will be the first to get a ticket to the Champions League final?!"
Zhan Jun said loudly; "This is the second leg of the 2014-2015 Champions League semi-finals between Arsenal and Bayern Munich."
"In the last round, Bayern Munich won the game with a score of 3:2, and now the two sides have swapped home games. Let's wait and see whether Arsenal can come back at home."
Zhang Ludao on the side said: "To be honest, Arsenal's performance in the last round was also very impressive. After conceding two goals in the first half, they quickly equalized the score. Without Lahm's kick, what would have been a headache. Bayern Munich.”
"Yes! Both captains made key performances in the last game to help the team overcome difficulties, and in this game, the starting lineups of both sides"
Arsenal (4-2-3-1):
Goalkeeper: Navas.
Defenders: Sagna, Mustafi, Koscielny, Gibbs,
Midfielder: Di Maria, Kante, Cazorla, Lucky, Sanchez.
Forward: Suarez.
Bayern Munich (4-4-2):
Goalkeeper: Neuer.
Defenders: Rafinha, Boateng, Bertia, Bernat.
Midfielder: Lahm, Thiago, Xavi Alonso, Bastian Schweinsteiger.
Forwards: Thomas Muller, Lewandowski.
Seeing this lineup, Zhan Jun was slightly surprised and said; "Guardiola put up a relatively conservative lineup of 442."
Zhang Lu; "This is Arsenal's home court. After the last game, I think Bayern Munich and Guardiola also deeply feel the threat from Arsenal."
"It's okay to make some tactical changes, but doing it all the time will affect the basic tactics!"
"Guardiola also knows it very well, so this time the focus of the game is returned to the players. This is also a manifestation of his belief in the players."
Zhan Jun: "Arsenal also used their most commonly used 4-2-3-1 formation during the season. The two head coaches put everything on the team. They both firmly believed that the team they had polished would be better. Stronger.”
At the coaching bench.
Wenger and Guardiola did not make any eye contact, but their expressions were extremely solemn.
Even though I know that the other person will do this, I still feel extremely afraid of actually facing the other person.
After all, they are very afraid of Arsenal/Bayern Munich.
While the two commentators were explaining, the two sides had completed all other links and arrived at the stadium.
Arsenal gets the kick-off.
"Arsenal attaches great importance to the right to kick-off!" Zhan Jun said.
Zhang Lu nodded and said, "Because Arsenal pays more attention to the control of the midfield. Guardiola and Wenger are both masters of passing and controlling. For this reason, their demand for the midfield is extremely high."
"It can be said that the midfielder plays a big role in whether the two teams can execute their tactics smoothly."
Beep! ! ! !
At this time, a sharp whistle sounded.
Zhan Jun immediately started his opening remarks.
On the field, after Arsenal kicked off, Bayern Munich rushed into Arsenal's players crazily, trying to press.
Arsenal didn't panic at all. After receiving Koscielny's return pass, Lucky turned around and avoided Thiago's pressing, and rubbed the ball hard with his toes.
The ball flew behind Alonso in a parabola.
Cazorla and Ram rushed towards the landing point.
Lahm was slightly behind, and he waited for Cazorla to stop the ball and restrict it.
But the next second, a scene that shocked him appeared.
Cazorla hit the falling ball with a powerful shot.
No one expected this shot.
The ball flew directly towards the goal, both in terms of force and angle.
"Cazorla! Shoot!!! -"
Zhan Jun also quickly stopped his opening remarks and shouted.
The Arsenal fans at the scene also held their breath for a moment.
The next second, a ding sound was heard.
The ball hit the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.
Goalkeeper Neuer landed, and he was still in shock.
This long shot caught him off guard.
It is undeniable that after Arsenal opened the game, this show of strength was scary enough.
"Ah~~~ crossbar!!"
Sky Sports commentator, Andy Gray shook his head regretfully, and then said excitedly;
"Although he failed to score, Cazorla's shot told everyone that Cazorla and Arsenal are in very good shape, and their opponent Bayern Munich is a little scared!"
Bayern Munich was shocked.
Especially Lahm.
He wanted to catch up with Cazorla when he stopped the ball, and then restrict him.
But who would have thought that this guy would directly choose a long shot.
And this long shot was extremely decisive and almost broke the goal.
This long shot was like a heavy hammer that hit Lahm and the Bayern Munich players hard in the heart.
"These guys!"
Lahm looked solemn.
This show of strength made the Bayern players feel extremely angry.
They looked at Arsenal's position with unfriendly expressions, trying to get back at the opponent.
The game started again.
The Bayern Munich players were all angry at this time.
Lewandowski was the same. He kept turning his head left and right to observe the positions of the Arsenal players, especially Lucky.
After seeing Lucky's position clearly, he immediately raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Tiago made a lob pass, Lewandowski adjusted the light stop and turned to start.
Suddenly, a cry of surprise came.
Be careful!!
Lewandowski subconsciously wanted to pull the ball, but the ball was kicked out by a foot.
He was also tackled to the ground!
Lewandowski lay on the ground with a painful look on his face.
And Lucky slowly got up.
He pointed at the ball to the referee, indicating that he had tackled the ball first.
The referee nodded as well. He saw the scene clearly.
Lekai tackled the ball first and then hit Lewandowski by inertia.
And Lewandowski fell on Lekai, how could he be injured?
The referee urged Lewandowski to stand up.
Lewandowski said innocently that he was violated.
But the referee said that there was no foul.
In the end, Lewandowski could only stand up dejectedly.
At this moment, Lewandowski felt even more aggrieved.
They were tricked by Arsenal twice in a row.
Guardiola looked solemn, and he kept touching his chin, looking a little anxious.
Arsenal players entered the game too quickly.
Lekai and Cazorla were already fully in the game.
A long shot and a tackle directly raised Arsenal's morale.
At this time, if it is not handled well, Bayern Munich will
say whatever they say.
Lekai once again used the pass to penetrate Bayern's back waistline, and Cazorla used his running position to receive the ball and then formed a linkage with Di Maria.
The two used the wall-to-wall cooperation to pass Bernat and entered the penalty area.
Immediately, the entire penalty area was in chaos.
In the chaos, Cazorla pretended to shoot, tricked Neuer into making a save, and then passed the ball to Sanchez at the back post.
Sanchez moved forward from the back row and made an easy header.
The ball immediately entered the goal of Bayern Munich.
At this moment, the entire Emirates Stadium was silent.
