Invincible Haaland at the start

Chapter 243 Cheats and ruthless work

"Lin Yun made a lob from the backcourt and the ball went in! Another super long-distance goal!"

"Liverpool attacked too fiercely, Mignolet was careless, Lin Yun succeeded in the sneak attack, and Arsenal's situation is decided!"

Lin Yun stood there and opened his arms. His teammates rushed forward and the whole Emirates Stadium roared.

Wenger applauded gently on the sidelines, and then began to mobilize his troops, quickly replacing Lin Yun, Modric and Kanter.

Without these three players, Arsenal's strength on both ends of the offense and defense dropped visibly. Liverpool continued to launch suicide attacks, and finally scored another victory when the game entered stoppage time. However, there was no way back, and the game ended with 5-3. Finish.

There is no doubt that Lin Yun, who scored three goals and contributed two assists, once again became the decisive factor in this game.

At the post-match press conference, Rogers could only use the clichéd tone to explain his failure: Liverpool did not lose to Arsenal, but only lost to Lin Yun.

At the moment when the World Cup has just ended and the European Cup is about to come, Lin Yun is undoubtedly the national treasure among the national treasures in England. In addition, he has won the Ballon d'Or and currently only Arsenal in the entire Premier League has entered the Champions League eight. With a strong background, headlines such as "Lin Yun leads Arsenal to defeat XXX" are the most popular among all British people.

Arsenal's momentum to defend the Premier League title has become unstoppable, and the goals of other teams have become to enter the European theater, avoid relegation and... second place.

But at this critical moment in the fight for runner-up, Pellegrini and his Manchester City team fell behind, unexpectedly losing to Crystal Palace by a goal, while Mourinho and Chelsea struggled to defeat Stoke City 2-1. It further consolidated the second position and still retained the theoretical hope of winning the championship.

In the 33rd round of the league, their hopes became increasingly slim. Although they defeated their old rival Manchester United 1-0 in the focus battle, Arsenal still defeated Burnley 3-1 in the absence of many main players and continued to lead the standings. .

In the 34th round of the league, Chelsea and Arsenal are about to meet on a narrow road. This will be their last chance to snipe Arsenal.

In terms of schedule, Arsenal is undoubtedly very passive, because before this battle at Tianwangshan, they have to face Juventus in the Champions League and visit Reading in the FA Cup, while Chelsea currently only has league tasks left, which is completely It is an attitude of waiting for work.

The entire Arsenal club entered a state of nervous preparation. Wenger directly issued a death order. All first-team players were prohibited from entering entertainment venues. Everyone's nerves were tense.

On April 4, the Champions League kicked off, and four focus showdowns took place across Europe. The most watched one was undoubtedly the Madrid derby between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, followed by Arsenal's away challenge to Juventus.

This is a direct collision between last season's Premier League champions and Serie A champions. One side is determined to defend its title and create an unprecedented three consecutive Champions League titles, while the other side is carrying the residual power of the Mini World Cup in an attempt to regain its past glory. Both sides are bound to compete. With the strongest lineup, the game tickets were sold out early, and Juventus even set a home ticket sales record of 366 million euros.

This is Lin Yun’s second visit to Turin as an opponent. The first time was two years ago, when it was also the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Although he was just starting out at that time, he scored a key goal in the game. The ball helps the team win away from home.

Two years later, he returned to his hometown. He had become the No. 1 football player in the world. He felt the hostility of the entire city almost as soon as he walked out of the airport.

There is a sense of déjà vu as the big devil is leading his army to invade other people's territory.

"If nothing else happens..." Modric analyzed the current Champions League situation seriously, "Barcelona and Bayern Munich should both advance, and Real Madrid should also be able to pass Atletico Madrid. According to UEFA's Damn it, maybe our opponent will be Bayern again...Strange, why do I say again?"

"Why Bayern and not Real Madrid and Barcelona?" Walcott asked curiously, "We have a lot of grievances with them."

Arteta stretched out his head and interjected, but his tone was a bit arrogant, "As I said, which of the giants in Europe has not been destroyed by us?"

Arsenal has won two Big Ear Cups in a row, and has won almost all the top players from all over the world in the past two years. Therefore, when it reaches the stage of the quarter-finals, there are basically no unfamiliar opponents, but in terms of origin, it is undoubtedly with Bayern Munich and Barcelona. , Real Madrid is the deepest, there is either a deep hatred of beating the opponent with a big score, or a hatred of winning the championship by overpowering the opponent in the final, or it involves "Lin Yun VS Messi" and "C Ronaldo VS Lin Yun". The top three PKs in the world.

Magic Flute said that UEFA would arrange for Bayern to be their next opponent. Naturally, he had his own opinion. "Have you forgotten? England just defeated Germany in the World Cup finals, and we just defeated Dortmund in the group stage. England Football VS Germany Football, you know.”

"Ouch," Lin Yun was delighted, "Bayern Munich and Dortmund are on the same page?"

Walcott also laughed, "Then why didn't Real Madrid help Atletico Madrid get revenge? You know, we won the championship last season by stepping on Atletico Madrid's corpse."

"Come on, they haven't even avenged themselves yet..."

Wenger looked at the disciples who were chatting and laughing, and had already begun to look forward to their semi-final opponents. He rarely interrupted without making a sound.

It's not that he looks down on Juventus, but that Juventus is really not worthy of being Arsenal's opponent now.

In this game, Allegri ranked all the main players except Pogba. The average age of the 11 players is as high as 30 years and 64 days, making him the second oldest starter in the history of Juventus' Champions League participation.

Among them, the main ones are still old guys like Buffon and Pirlo.

As for Arsenal, Lin Yun, Modric, Kante, Wilshere... are all at their best age for professional athletes.

More importantly, although they are young, they are experienced. Not only have they experienced various big scenes, they have also stood on the podium many times. They are truly a battle-hardened and championship team!
How can Juventus beat Arsenal like this? !

Entering the player tunnel, the Juventus players looked at the Gunners with a bit of a look at death.

Lin Yun accepted this look calmly.

Led by him, all Arsenal players have great confidence in this game, even if this is Turin and the Allianz Stadium in Turin, even if they are facing the 31-time Serie A champion and 2-time Champions League champion , are football veterans like Buffon, Chiellini, Evra, Pirlo...

There was no communication between the two sides until he and Buffon smiled at each other when the team flags were exchanged. The game immediately entered a hunting state as soon as it started.

"Juventus have gone 11 consecutive home games unbeaten in Europe.

Pirlo, who was injured in February, returned, and Juventus achieved an unbeaten record of 2 wins and 19 draws in the nearly 13 official games he played.

Tevez, Morata, Bonucci and Evra, who had taken a break in the league, returned to the starting lineup. Juventus put out their strongest lineup to welcome Arsenal.

Arsenal also played their main players, Lin Yun, Modric, Wilshere, Kante and others also took turns in the league, so they were able to play at their best..."

"Juventus 4-3-1-2.

Goalkeeper: 1-Buffon (captain);

Defenders: 26-Lichtsteiner, 19-Bonucci, 3-Chiellini, 33-Evra;
中场：23-比达尔，21-皮尔洛(74'15-巴尔扎利)，8-马尔基西奥，37-佩雷拉；
Forwards: 10-Tevez, 9-Morata. "

"Arsenal 4-2-1.
Goalkeeper: 13-Ospina;

Midfielder: 7-Kante, 10-Wilshere;

Forward: 9-Lin...Yun shoots! ! ? ? "

In the 36th second of the game, Lin Yun, Modric and Sanchez, like magic, quickly advanced the ball to the frontcourt with three passes and two passes.

Modric trailed slightly and immediately made a clever challenge after receiving Sanchez's pass.The football fell in front of Lin Yun.

Lin Yun rushed to the football at full speed and fired a kick at the falling football.

Chiellini faced him head-on without fear of death, but the football flew past his shoulder. Lin Yun, on the other hand, couldn't brake in time and hit him directly.

Chiellini felt like he had been hit head-on by a tank, and sat back on the ground, while Lin Yun only took two steps back to regain his footing.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the football flying toward the goal.

This was a shot with perfect power, speed and angle. Lin Yun himself felt so good. If it hadn't been blocked by Chiellini, he probably would have been unable to hold back and celebrate again in advance.

The football drew a weird S-shaped arc and flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal. But just as it was about to cross the goal line, Buffon suddenly rushed over like an agile cheetah.

With one palm stretch, the football was dragged off the crossbar.

"Hu~~"

"Clap clap clap!"

"Damn it, door god!"

"Thankfully we have Buffon..."

Magic Flute, who was about to run over to celebrate with Lin Yun, was also stunned for a moment, "My assist is just gone?"

Lin Yun shook his head and couldn't help but gently applaud Buffon.

The audience burst into warm applause, and Buffon didn't know what the hell they were having fun with. He just felt his hand hurt terribly.

"Sanchez made a cross from the wing, Modric passed the ball over the top, Lin Yun volleyed... Buffon made a great save!!!"

"Lin Yun kicked a magical S-shaped long-range shot, but it was miraculously blocked by Buffon. Arsenal almost got a dream start!"

"Although Lin Yun's shot was saved, Juventus' crisis was not completely resolved. Arsenal got a corner kick opportunity..."

Modric went to serve, and Buffon pointed at Lin Yun. Seeing that Chiellini and Vidal had sandwiched him to the left and right, he was still worried and warned: "Don't let him run!"

Before Chiellini and Vidal could respond, Lin Yun squeezed hard and broke free from between them.

The two of them each yelled out their own national curses and hurriedly chased him out, but they were out of sight within two or three seconds.

Lin Yun quickly broke away and came to no man's land. Modric immediately kicked the ball with a long pass. Lin Yun quickly adjusted, jumped high and hooked upside down.

Chiellini managed to catch up, but he could only watch helplessly as Lin Yun completed a difficult shot.

The football was hit by Lin Yun's right foot and hit the grass hard before rebounding towards the goal.

Seeing that the football was about to go in, Buffon unexpectedly saved the ball again and again, like a miracle, and it hit Bonucci's foot and went out of the baseline...

Lin Yun's shot was fast and urgent, and there was a change of direction after the rebound, but Buffon blocked the ball without any extra movement, as if he had opened his eyes of foresight.

All the commentators were stunned by the two men's offensive and defensive behavior.

"Lin shot, GO...ah? Buffon made another divine save! He completed an impossible task, and his reaction speed was faster than lightning!"

"Lin Yun's close shot was actually blocked by Buffon! It's amazing. Lin Yun and Modric cooperated tacitly, and the shot was full of unpredictability, but Buffon predicted Lin Yun's shot and thrillingly blocked it. The ball jumped out..."

Buffon roared excitedly and hammered his chest.

This scene can definitely become another highlight in his career. It is the kind of video that is worth watching over and over again after retirement. His teammates also came over to bump fists with him, and Chiellini even more excitedly followed him. He hugged him hard, and all Juventus people were filled with the joy of escaping death.

Lin Yun silently walked towards the corner flag area.

Modric thought he was going to take a corner kick and then perform difficult actions such as direct shooting from the corner kick, but unexpectedly Lin Yun just shook his head and came to stand about two meters away from him.

Chiellini and Vidal hurried over and followed.

Lin Yun had already reached the boundary, with his back facing the direction of the penalty area, reaching for the ball.

Chiellini and Vidal were behind him, one on the left and one on the right, firmly blocking him and the penalty area. Chiellini also pointed at Modric, reminding his teammates to come up and block him, don't let him Play one-on-one with Lin Yun.

Modric passed the ball to Lin Yun with a short pass. As soon as he stepped onto the court, he was tightly entangled by Bonucci who rushed over.

Lin Yun turned his back to the two defenders and knocked the ball gently, then knocked the football between them with his heel.

Chiellini and Vidal immediately turned around and ran towards the football while moving sideways to block Lin Yun, but Lin Yun was not so easy to block.

He bypassed Chiellini, then chased the football on the penalty area line despite the opponent's harassment, and without thinking, he volleyed with the outside of his instep.

"Lin Yun and Modric played a tactical corner kick... took the ball from the wing, broke through with his back, and passed! Lin Yun took it from the right side of the penalty area... and just hit it?!"

The place where Lin Yun shot was just better than a direct shot from a corner kick. The angle with the goal was only about [-] degrees, and it was still on the line of the penalty area. No one expected that he would shoot at any time.

The damn thing is that this wasn't a kick, but a volley, but the football drew an exaggerated arc that even a deliberate kick might not be possible, and followed a crescent-shaped trajectory around it. All defensive players then flew accurately to the blind spot above the goal side.

Buffon once again made an accurate judgment, but this time there was nothing he could do with the ball even if he had three hands.

The football flew into the goal under the desperate eyes of Juventus.

Lin Yun watched the football touch the net before taking two steps back, then turned and walked towards the sidelines.

He couldn't find the visiting team fans' area for a while. When he raised his hands, he realized that he was facing a large group of Juventus fans wearing black and white sword-striped shirts.

What is unexpected is that these home fans were stunned for only two seconds, and then gave him warm applause...
