When accepted after the game,
The reporter asked Fangfeng how he would deal with Dortmund in the away game three days later.

Fang Fang thought for a while and replied: "The second leg of the Champions League round of 16 with Dortmund is very important. Although we only have three days to prepare, we will still make full use of the time and be prepared."

"The absence of Martinelli and Saka will definitely affect us. However, I am sure they will continue to help us move forward off the pitch."

"Arsenal's goal is to advance to the Champions League quarter-finals. We have the strength to overcome all difficulties."

It was not just Fang Fang who told the media after the game,

Including Arteta, who also expressed his efforts to advance to the top 8 of the Champions League, he has already reached the top 16 of the Champions League and no one wants to be eliminated.

Besides, Arsenal still has an advantage in the score, winning 2-1 against Dortmund in the first round.

The real pressure is still on Dortmund's side.

Three days passed quickly,
But on March 3, the day before the game.

The whole Arsenal team came to the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

That is the city where the Dortmund team is located.

The team arrived a day early to adapt to Dortmund's pitch.

However, on this night,
Some extreme fans in Dortmund still came to the downstairs of Arsenal's hotel to cause trouble, trying to use fireworks to disturb the normal rest of Arsenal players.

Fortunately, the players were prepared in advance, such as wearing soundproof earmuffs to use when sleeping so that they would not be disturbed by outside sounds at all.

On the day of the game,

Arsenal was still on the way to the stadium when they encountered a traffic jam.

Fortunately, under the command of the local traffic police, Arsenal was not late for the game.

And Dortmund’s home court is worthy of being the devil’s home court.
There was a huge crowd and the seats were packed.

Looking around, it's all Dortmund's yellow color, and there are giant support pictures.

After the game started,

Dortmund relied on the momentum at home to launch a fierce attack.

Left winger Reina was very active!

He learned from the experience of the last game against Arsenal and linked up with his teammates more when playing football.
Not as unique as the previous game.

Because as a beautiful Chinese, he knows very well that many Chinese are watching this game today.

Everyone wants to see him knock the equation out of the equation.

After all, Equation represents the largest country in the East in the European arena.

Football has always been a peacetime war.

Therefore, many fans in the beautiful country have been dissatisfied with Arsenal's captain equation for a long time.

Facing Dortmund’s crazy attack,
Arsenal pragmatically chose a defensive counterattack.

As a representative of beautiful football in the past, Arsenal has now learned how to defend and wait for attack.

In the 10th minute of the game, Arsenal launched a sharp counterattack on the left side of the frontcourt.

Xhaka passed the football to the left,

Equation volleyed with his left foot,
The football flew toward the goal in an instant.

However, in front of the goal, Hummels cleared the football first.

The ball fell to the feet of Dortmund midfielder Witsel.

His ability to protect the ball is very good.

When he was playing in the Chinese Super League, he relied on his outstanding ability to lead the Quanjian team to the AFC Champions League.

Now after coming to Dortmund, Witsel's strength has not declined, but his performance has become more and more stable.

Dortmund's CEO Watzke is proud of the introduction of Witsel.

Because the price of bringing in Witsel was only 2000 million euros, but now Witsel is worth 4000 million euros.

Such an outstanding signing is certainly something to be happy about.

However, Witsel is not without his shortcomings, that is, his lack of speed, so he is only suitable for playing in the backcourt.

In the 15th minute, Arsenal's right winger Nelson made a mistake with the ball and was intercepted by Dortmund. Then Witsel passed the ball from the left side of the frontcourt and accurately found Reina.

Reina, who was highly motivated, dribbled the ball directly into the penalty area.
After turning Arsenal's penalty area upside down,

But he passed the football to the goal,
Royce rushed forward and immediately volleyed with his right foot.

The football flew towards the goal with the roar of the wind.

The next moment, the whole place was shocked!
Dortmund gets a goal back! !

As the team captain, Royce also cheered.

Dortmund equalized the total score.

Also as the captain, Royce had mixed emotions after seeing Fang Fang perform well and help the team score 2 goals in the last game against Arsenal.

Fortunately, now, he helped the team equalize the total score.

He has been in Dortmund for so many years. Although he wants to be a football fairy tale for one man and one city, he has always refused invitations from other wealthy teams and has been renewing his contract with Dortmund, but he is actually very eager for the championship trophy.

After seeing the captain score, Reina immediately rushed over excitedly to celebrate together.

Not only is the goal important, but his assists are equally important.

I believe that many Chinese people will be proud of him when they see his performance.

Dortmund's momentum instantly rose.

Because this 2-2 score is at a disadvantage for Arsenal.

Because Dortmund has an away goal advantage, if the two sides end up with a draw, then Dortmund will advance to the top 8 of the Champions League.

However, Arsenal quickly rebounded from conceding a goal.
After all, it was just a draw, and the game only ended in an hour.
With their offensive capabilities, there will definitely be many opportunities to overtake the score.

Before the restart at midfield, Equation, as captain, walked over to Nelson.

He knew Nelson was still blaming himself for conceding the ball.

"It's okay." Fang Fang comforted, "Whether it's on the court or not, no one will make mistakes. The game is not over yet. We can advance only by scoring goals!"

After hearing the captain's words, Nelson nodded seriously, "Don't worry, captain, I will definitely help the team score goals."

Fang Fang said: "That's right. Let's work hard together and we can't have any regrets!"

Soon, Arsenal immediately launched an attack on the road.

Dortmund chose to defend;
However, they did not expect Fang Fang to suddenly retreat to the midfield and quickly break through with the ball.
Witsel could only foul the equation.

Equation got a free kick.

The free kick he took was like a stream of fire streaking across the sky.
Accurately found his teammates in the penalty area.

Saliba rushed for a header,
However, this shot missed the goal.

It almost made many Dortmund think that Arsenal had taken the lead.

Seeing that there was no goal, the Arsenal team continued to fight back on the spot.

Nelson quickly grabbed the football from Reina, who had previously sent an assist.

This frightened Reina so much that he quickly chased after him.

And Nelson passed the football to Ronaldo,
Who knew that Ronaldo would pass the ball to the right side of the frontcourt?

This pass is very early.
As a result, Nelson didn't have time to catch up. Fortunately, Dortmund's Guerrero didn't have time to think too much and kicked the football out of the sideline.

Arsenal receives a throw-in.

Immediately, Thomas' hand throw caused a melee in the penalty area.

In the scramble between players from both sides, Hummels made a mistake in clearing the ball at the goal line.

Nketiah seized this opportunity and volleyed with his left foot without stopping the ball.

The football almost missed the crossbar and flew out of the goal.

The game is still going on, and the Arsenal players have no time to feel sorry for this chance to score.
The team continued to advance.

However, Dortmund’s fighting spirit is also very tenacious.

They suddenly played smooth and smooth cooperation, avoiding Arsenal's attack all the way.
Sancho received a cross from his teammate on the right side of the frontcourt.

Then he sent a precise through ball.

Royce countered offside and stepped forward to respond, broke into the penalty area along the right and volleyed with his right foot.

However, the shot missed the far post, leaving the home fans slightly disappointed.

They almost killed the suspense of the game!
Dortmund's attack almost caused Arsenal's defense to collapse.

At the same time, this also reminded Arsenal that Dortmund is quite powerful and their counterattack speed is also very good.

It is as difficult for them to win this game as it is to play in a final.

Arsenal also wanted to seize the first half time to organize the attack.

But time is running out,
The referee immediately blew the whistle to end the first half.

The two teams returned to the locker room with a total score of 2-2.

Arteta did not blame anyone for the content of the first half, but was talking about the way the game was played in the second half.

It is meaningless to go back and analyze whose problem it is now. What is important for them is to win this game.
Many domestic Arsenal fans who watched the live broadcast immediately started discussing it on major social software.
"It's over. Dortmund's counterattack was too fast. We almost conceded another goal just now."

"It's still a matter of not scoring a few more goals in the first round. Otherwise, would it be so difficult for us to play in this away game?"

"Isn't the total score 2-2? Why are everyone so anxious? I'm a new fan and I don't understand. I asked."

"Because there is an away goal rule in the Champions League, if Dortmund scores an away goal in the first round, they will have a chance to advance."

"Reus also performed very well today. It can be seen that he really wants to lead Dortmund to win the championship."

"It's not that easy to win the championship. If you want to win the championship, Royce should leave Dortmund."

"Dortmund did not play very well this season, but they still performed well tonight. Arsenal was under too much pressure."

"It is indeed the most devilish home stadium in Europe. It can be seen that Arsenal are under too much pressure tonight."

"Don't worry, with the equation, there's no way Arsenal can't win."

Soon, in the expectation of many people, the half-time break ended.

In the second half,
The game begins

Arsenal quickly passed the ball and cooperated,
The attack was pushed to the left.

Or does Equation deliver a precise cross?

Hummels made a header error in the penalty area.
Let the football fall behind no one to mark,
That's where Nelson found his opportunity.

He shot directly from the back of the penalty area and scored.

Arsenal took the lead, 2-3!

Nelson excitedly rushed to the sideline to celebrate and released the pressure fiercely.

Because he always believed that Arsenal conceded the ball in the first half because he was intercepted while dribbling the ball.

Fortunately, now, he has finally made up for it.

After all, he is a kid who grew up in the Arsenal youth academy.

So his goal is not only for himself, but also for the entire team.

The entire Arsenal team ran over to join in the celebration. Seeing Nelson's eyes shining, Xhaka smiled and reached out to touch his head.

"Don't worry, we will definitely win this game!"

Zhaka patted his chest and said, then looked at Equation, "Am I right? Captain!"

Fang Fang smiled, "Of course, I also want to see your goal with my own eyes."

Zaka smiled happily,
It seemed easy and completely stress-free.

Fangfang knew that Xhaka had a good psychological quality, so he turned around and gave Nelson some encouragement.

After the goal, Arsenal's momentum rose again.

This time, Dortmund was anxious to attack again.

They really didn't expect Arsenal to take the lead so quickly.

Looking back, they still failed to seize the counterattack opportunity in the first half.

If they score another goal, their advantage in the second half will be even greater.

However, now is not the time to be upset. Captain Royce quickly led a group of young players to launch an attack.

In the 58th minute, Dortmund full-back Guerrero came up to support.
Help Reina break through from the left and then send a cross.
Mukoko moved forward to the goal and grabbed the goal.

However, he was a little slower than half a beat, and the football almost slipped past his feet.
Dortmund missed a scoring opportunity again!
Many Dortmund players were immediately upset.

Unexpectedly, they failed to seize the opportunity to score.

Are their luck really that bad?

"It's okay, we have another time!"

Royce applauded. Although he was anxious, he still cheered for his teammates.

However, in the eyes of the audience outside the stadium, Arsenal actually wasted some scoring opportunities, especially in the first half. If they had seized the opportunity, Arsenal would have taken the lead long ago.

So this situation is like being in the middle of the game and not knowing what to say.

Soon, with encouragement from their captain, the Dortmund players were back on their feet again.

As the game progresses,
The competition between players from both sides became increasingly fierce.

In the 72nd minute, Dortmund pressed through the midfield and launched an offensive outside the penalty area.

Sancho got the ball on the right and sent a cross.
Royce leaped high in front of the goal and grabbed a header and hit the goal.

Fortunately, goalkeeper Leno jumped up and saved the football.
Almost allowed Dortmund to recover a goal!
This save cheered up Arsenal's defenders. Saliba and Gabriel both went over to give Leno a high-five and shouted a nice shout.

Dortmund continues to attack,

Arsenal strengthened their defense.

Wait patiently for an opportunity to counterattack.

In the 84th minute, seeing Arsenal's tight defense, Dortmund's Witsel kicked a long shot directly outside the penalty area.

Goalkeeper Leno did not clear the ball far this time.

Royce quickly met the ball and hit the goal with his kick.
The score was tied at 3-3!

The whole stadium went crazy. This goal made Dortmund players immediately rush to the sidelines and cheer.
If nothing else happens, this goal may be a draw!
Arsenal's players instantly felt tremendous pressure on the field. (End of chapter)
