Football: Don’t talk about feelings, I’m just an AI
Chapter 131 Frustrations and tests on the road to championship
Arsenal took a two-goal lead in the first 27 minutes. It was a wonderful start.
Even a person like Wenger who pays great attention to his image is acting like an old naughty boy, not to mention the young players in the Arsenal team.
They seemed to have held the Big Ear Cup in their arms with one hand, and seemed to be able to face the next game with a very relaxed mentality.
Looking back at Dortmund, they thought they were two goals behind anyway, so they didn't care about the final score. They showed the determination and courage that they had in the Bundesliga - "Dare to take down Bayern even if they were killed", and played the game with the attitude of working hard and getting it done!
So, after the half-time champagne, something like this happened on the court:
Arsenal, who were two goals ahead, didn't seem to know how to play. On the contrary, Dortmund played with the momentum of last season's Bundesliga "double".
The difference between this and that is huge.
Dortmund is playing more and more smoothly, but Arsenal is stuck in a quagmire, trying to organize but not organize, trying to cooperate but not cooperating, trying to make breakthroughs but not breaking through...
It was difficult for Xia Qi and Balotelli in front to receive passes from their teammates. Arsenal's forward and midfield were completely disconnected.
Premier League champion Arsenal has completely become a "peace-loving" Chinese team.
"Royce breaks through! As fast as a little rocket."
Zhang Lu was full of praise for Royce's beautiful breakthrough just now.
"Dortmund suddenly woke up and they pushed Arsenal to the ground and rubbed..."
On the court, Gotze quickly rushed forward, took the ball through the center circle, and distributed the ball to the left.
Royce immediately sprinted forward as he caught the ball.
Arteta stepped forward to defend, but as soon as his center of gravity sank, he was wiped out by the Rockets.
"Royce's 'poor rhythm' timing was so good, it happened to be when Arteta was unstable, and his change of direction was very fast. The only martial arts in the world is fast..."
At this moment, Lewandowski in the middle also rushed into Arsenal's penalty area at this moment.
"Boom!"
As soon as there was a breakthrough, Royce immediately started to pass the ball.
Dortmund's offense doesn't have that many bells and whistles, it's just simple + efficient + fast.
The football shot up from the ground and flew towards Arsenal's penalty area.
At this time, Mertesacker and Umtiti sandwiched Lewandowski one after another in the penalty area.
However, how could Lewand, who was coveted by excavators and tried every means to excavate, be so good-looking?
Just a simple jump, with reasonable squeezing assistance.
Mertesacker, the backbone of Arsenal's defense, was squeezed by him and fell straight back.
Mertesacker was shocked. His first thought was not to defend, but to prevent himself from falling. He suddenly took a step back with his right foot and barely stood still.
He successfully prevented himself from becoming a background wall for others, but he also successfully "sold" his teammates by retreating.
As soon as Mertesacker withdrew, Lewandowski had much more space to jump. Facing Umtiti's defense, Lewandowski overwhelmed Umtiti and leaped high.
There was still time to adjust the angle in the air, and then he hit "Rhinoceros Watching the Moon" again, and his temples heavily rubbed against one-third of the football.
The football was picked up, spun violently, and rushed towards the far corner of the goal in a weird arc.
Martinez quickly rushed toward the far corner, but the football suddenly tilted upward in the air. This was too sudden.
In panic, Martinez tried his best to stretch his arms upwards, but gravity caused his body to fall. This was fatal.
Martinez felt the touch of the football on his fingertips, but was unable to push it away.
The football grazed his fingertips and entered the net.
"The ball went in and Dortmund got one back."
"Lewandowski used his forehead to create a header similar to the Quagmire arc. When the ball was approaching the goal, it could also rise. Although the height of this 'late pull-up' action was not high, it still caused Martin to Ness made a mistake in judgment and the ball missed the goal by a hair."
"Standing on a neutral stance, the game becomes more interesting and the suspense is reborn. It is not certain who will have the last laugh."
Wembley Stadium became a sea of yellow at this moment, and Lewandowski opened his arms and flew into the wind during the Dortmund team song...
Dortmund's morale was boosted after pulling a goal back, and the game restarted.
The suffocating high pressure began again.
Arsenal's weakness of being too young was magnified, and they made frequent mistakes in panic.
In the 38th minute, when Walcott was defending Royce, he used his "little black hand" to pull Royce down. However, the pulling action was not concealed enough and did not escape the sharp eyes of the referee, so he received a yellow card. .
The little tiger was not convinced by this yellow card, because when Royce broke through him, he gave him an elbow secretly. The referee didn't express anything about this elbow, but his action of pulling Royce...
The imbalance of mentality changed Walcott beyond recognition. In the 43rd minute, he faced Royce again. After Royce passed the ball, he kicked him down.
Royce immediately seized the opportunity and escalated the situation, holding his thighs and wailing loudly.
Only then did Walcott show an expression of fear and regret...
In the Penguin live broadcast room, Zhang Lu was worried about Arsenal. He shook his head and sighed:
"Being as uncool as Beckham was, it may ruin Arsenal's good situation."
"The score is now 2:1! Arsenal are one goal ahead but if Walcott gets a card, they will have one less player and there is still half a game left, so anything can happen."
Arsenal fans, whether they were in person or in front of the TV, whether they were in the UK or abroad, everyone yelled at Walcott.
On the court, Walcott was scared. He begged the referee for a long time, hoping to be merciful...
His teammates were also interceding for him. Balotelli even acted cute and cute to the referee, patting his chest and promising not to do it again.
However, the referee on duty was hard-hearted and unmoved. He firmly showed Walcott a second yellow card and then a red card to send Walcott off the field.
The 23-year-old Walcott couldn't control his tears at that moment...
Unlike Dortmund, Arsenal has never won the Champions League in history. Arsenal people are extremely "hungry" for the first Champions League title among their "students", and Walcott knows this well. bright.
Moreover, Arsenal started the game smoothly and soon took a two-goal lead.
But such a good situation was ruined by himself, and tears of regret flowed out unsatisfactorily.
There was an inappropriate burst of boos and curses from the stands.
Wenger stood on the edge of the pitch, turned to face the stands, stopped the fans who were booing Walcott, and then gave Walcott a high-five as he came off the field.
"Boss, I..."
Wenger patted him on the back: "Growth requires paying a price. Everyone will have this experience. David made the same mistake as you in 98, but he completed his redemption four years later against Greece. , the same goes for you, Arsenal’s next game, you will save us, right?”
"Boss..." Seeing that Wenger did not scold him but instead enlightened him, Walcott felt even more guilty.
……
A few minutes later, at the end of the first half, the Arsenal players returned to the locker room in low spirits. By this time, Walcott's eyes were swollen from crying.
In a locker room alone, Walcott became more and more afraid as he thought about it. He was afraid that Arsenal's efforts to continuously defeat Royal Saren in the Champions League would eventually be in vain because of his impulse.
Xia Qi and others were indeed in a low mood, but they were still surprised to see Walcott's eyes swollen from crying, and everyone was a little at a loss.
When everyone was at a loss, Xia Qi walked out of the crowd, leaned over and patted him on the shoulder:
"You're not David, you're not that important to us. If we lose the championship, it's because of me and it has nothing to do with you. Don't be too narcissistic."
Walcott raised his head and said to Xia Qi with a tearful tone: "But, but Xia, we are missing one person, how could I have acted stupidly at that time? I..."
Xia Qi waved his hand: "I told you that you are not that important. Let's just have a cup of ice cream and I will take care of your job."
Before Walcott could answer, Xia Qi was hit hard on the head by Captain Vermaelen.
"You are so comforting!"
"Theo, you are very important to us, but this has happened. Let us each share your work."
After Vermaelen looked around at everyone, he stretched out his right hand and put his palm flat. Seeing this, everyone also put their palms on their hands, including Walcott, and shouted:
"We Arsenal are invincible!" For a moment, the haze in the locker room dissipated.
At this time Wenger came in from outside,
"I feel a lot better now. I won't boil the chicken juice anymore."
"hehe…"
Xia Qi and others laughed slightly.
"This is the final! The final with the highest honor in European football. Since it is the strongest match, how can it be smooth sailing?"
"Theo's red card was just a test, like we had to score five goals at the Bernabeu."
"We were short in the second half, which is indeed a problem. It's normal to have problems, just solve them. There's nothing that a cup of ice cream can't solve. If there is, then two cups."
"Ha ha!"
"If you win the championship, you can have enough ice cream."
"I want strawberry flavor..."
"I want chocolate..."
Wenger and other players had enough trouble and continued: "If there are fewer people, then everyone will share more. Each person can run more distance to make up for the disadvantage of one less person."
"Doing this will strain your physical strength. This requires you to arrange your physical strength reasonably and have a will of steel."
"In addition to physical fitness, I am more worried about your psychological problems."
“Along the way, our opponent is Huang Saren, who is slightly stronger than us, and Dortmund is the weakest among them.
We played very easily at the beginning and soon took a two-goal lead, which also verified that our overall strength was stronger than them.
But after we took the lead, we stopped playing football.
So, you should think carefully here now,
Why relax after taking a two-goal lead? Why are we pushed to the ground and rubbed by the weaker ones at a certain time? "
"As long as we solve the two problems of mental and physical fitness, you will have ice cream in 45 minutes."
After speaking, Wenger led the coaching staff to the door, leaving time and space for the players.
At the same time, in the Dortmund dressing room, Klopp was also cheering for his players.
"In the second half, they had one less player than us. We have to continue to press them as we did after the goal and force them to collapse as soon as possible."
...
...
At halftime, fans from both sides in the stands showed two completely different emotions.
Dortmund, who was lagging behind, was the happy side.
In the stadium, Dortmund's singing never stopped. In their hearts, they will have the last laugh like Argentina.
Arsenal fans are frowning...
After halftime, neither side made any substitutions.
After the start of the second half, Dortmund once again pressed Arsenal high.
Arsenal, who got the kick-off right, conceded the ball soon after the whistle.
Arsenal quickly shrunk their defense.
Suddenly there was a lot of noise in front of Arsenal's goal, but they never conceded a goal.
Ten minutes have passed, and it’s still 2:1 on the field!
Arsenal is still ahead.
After the start of the second half, Klopp, who had been "sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai", could not sit still.
He has already seen some clues.
During the halftime break, Wenger definitely poured "chicken soup for the soul" into the players. The Arsenal players seemed to be passively beaten, but in fact they were united.
If the game is allowed to develop like this, after the players' offensive momentum weakens, it will be the time for Arsenal to draw its sword.
And that was when Dortmund was feeling tired...
After Klopp saw the situation clearly, he immediately started to make substitutions. Perisic and Shaheen came on to replace Bvaszczykovsky and Kyle respectively.
Both men tend to be more attacking, which is what Dortmund desperately needs as they fall one goal behind.
I have to admire Klopp's on-the-spot command.
His substitution adjustments still had some effect.
Arsenal's goal is once again deserted...
In the 60th minute, Perisic and Gotze, who had just come on, went two-on-three on the right side of the penalty area, penetrated Arsenal's defense and entered the penalty area.
Facing Martinez who abandoned the goal, Perisic made a fake shot and passed the ball to the middle of the penalty area.
"Martinez made a mistake!"
"Lewandowski! Shoot!"
On the pitch, Lewandowski ran forward in the middle. Amid the cheers of Dortmund fans and the screams of Arsenal fans, he caught up with the football and hit the football hard with a direct kick.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Two loud sounds came, one was the fourth tone and the other was the first tone.
The fourth note is the sound of the football being hit, and the first note is the dull sound of the football hitting the body.
It turned out that in the flash of lightning when Lewandowski took a shot, Mertesacker rushed over in time and blocked the hole of the gun with his body.
The football hit his second brother's position firmly, causing him to almost faint from the pain on the spot.
The football is very powerful. Although it hits the most vulnerable place, it rebounds very far. After Royce got the football, he saw Mertesacker lying in the penalty area, clutching the man's lifeline with a look of pain on his face.
He didn't continue the attack and kicked the football out of bounds.
The audience burst into warm applause.
This is rare,
Not everyone will give up attacking when they are behind.
This makes the competitive game a little warmer and more touching.
This is what competitive games should be like.
"I suddenly feel that Arsenal is looking like a champion. Red cards and injuries may be the setbacks and tests on the road to championship..."
Zhan Jun's explanation shocked the Arsenal fans in front of the TV.
Yup!
How can you see a rainbow without going through wind and rain? ?
"We Arsenal are invincible!"
Arsenal fans are full of energy again. (End of chapter)
