Chapter 421: Dreams are still necessary, what if they come true?

Podolski rushed over, patted Li Zihan on the head with excitement, and shouted: "Damn it, I finally hit the crossbar! I hit the crossbar and scored a goal!! What? , how do you say that in China, 'You can have both fish and bear' or something."

Li Zihan: "."

"I'm the fish that can only catch bears!" Podolski said proudly to his teammates who surrounded him to congratulate him.

Li Zihan: "."

Although he and Podolski have been partners for more than half a season, and the relationship between the two is also very good.But in most cases, Li Zihan still can't tell whether the guy is pretending to be stupid or really stupid when he falls to the ground.
But Li Zihan is sure that this is the one who will look cute than himself.
With Podolski, Ozil and veteran Rosicky's one goal, and Li Zihan's assist hat-trick, Arsenal already led [-]-[-] in the first half.

It soon entered the intermission time, Li Zihan walked towards the player tunnel with his head down, talking with Ozil, and kept making gestures with his hands.

When he saw the camera following him all the way, Li Zihan raised his head, smiled and waved at the camera.

"Although today's luck is really helpless, at least it seems that Li is in a good mood."

The second half of the game began soon, and Arsenal, who had a three-goal lead, took the lead in making substitution adjustments.Li Zihan, who scored three assists, and Ozil, the core of the midfield, were replaced, and French high center forwards Giroud and Wilshere played.

"Now this game is basically a win for Arsenal. Unless there is some shocking drama, it will be difficult for Everton to turn things around. So Wenger is already saving his strength for the next game, but. Looking at Giroud and Wilshere who were replaced, why do I feel that the professor is training soldiers?"

The game felt somewhat similar to Arsenal's previous FA Cup game against Coventry, with Arsenal establishing a lead at half-time and then substituting key players immediately in the second half.

It's just that the strengths of Everton and Coventry are quite different, and they are not at the same level.Before the game, many people thought that Arsenal would win this game, but it would be more difficult to win.But who would have expected Arsenal to win the game so bloodlessly, and it was at a time when Arsenal striker Li Zihan was seriously lacking in shooting sense.

Now Li Zihan's performance in Arsenal is enough to make him a striker. It's just that his appearance and body don't look as domineering as Falcao, Diego Costa and others, but the feeling and quantity of goals are a little bit Not to lose to these strikers.

However, if Everton is playing with all the main players, Arsenal may not be able to be so easy with their performance in this game.

Because under the training of Martinez this season, the Toffees are very good at playing against strong teams.Just like Martinez's Wigan Athletic before, Lien Keman City and other strong enemies.

So attack together and fight vigorously. Maybe Arsenal will win in the end, but they will also pay a big price for it.

Soon after the second half, Everton also started to make substitutions.Looking at the dazzling three-to-zero score, Martinez finally didn't plan to save his strength.

Deulofeu, Ross Barkley and other core players all played, so that the core and main players can be regarded as occupying most of the lineup.

After the change, Everton quickly received a miraculous effect. Ross Barkley was like a commander and gave the ball to Deulofeu.Everton, the Spanish teenager on loan from Barcelona, ​​made a decisive pass from the bottom after a wing assault.

Lukaku, who followed up in the middle, finally won the header this time, but he himself did not form an attack.Instead, the header was ferried, and Naismith, who inserted in the back, shot a half-volley.

The ball finally passed Szczesny's ten-finger mark, and Everton equalized a point.

Everton, who scored the goal, did not celebrate, but quickly kicked off, trying to score more goals and even equalize the score.

This point is very similar to Li Zihan. Hanniang is never satisfied on the bed. Well, even on the court.

It's just that Everton's fighting spirit didn't burn for a long time, and Arsenal soon poured cold water on the opponent.

After Rosicky dribbled the ball in from the side, he did not hit the goal by himself, but distributed the ball to Wilshere, who came on as Ozil's substitute in the second half. After the "little threat" shook off the veteran Barry, who had suffered from serious physical decline, he saw the right time and made a high ball short-distance pass.

It was like a hanging pass, over the heads of Jagielka and Distin.Giroud, who also played in the second half, immediately jumped back to fight for the top. In the header, Giroud beat the opponent's central defender.

Then in the air. Headed the ball into the opponent's goal.

Four to one! !
Although the game was only No. 705 minutes, Giroud's goal also brought the game to an end.

Arsenal advanced to the next round of the FA Cup with a big victory.And they also successfully broke into the semi-finals of the FA Cup this season, as long as they kill the next opponent.They will enter the final of the FA Cup this season, and they are also very hopeful to win a championship to sum up the embarrassment of not having a championship for nine years.

After the game, the experts who rated the players were undoubtedly the most embarrassing, because they really didn't know what score to give for Li Zihan's performance in this game.

But in the end, his three assists still gave him a lot of extra points. In the end, Li Zihan won the best player of the game with a score of [-] points in a single game.

Generally, as long as there are no fatal mistakes on the court, players who perform hat-trick assists will have a post-match score of no less than [-] points. It's eight past eight.

At the press conference after the game, Wenger said to reporters: "We will not give up any championship. At present, the team is actively preparing for the final stage of the league. I think every player is going through After more than 20 weeks of hard work, we don't want to fall short in the last few weeks, so we will do our best to win the FA Cup and the league championship."

And when the reporter asked about Arsenal's way of preserving their strength in the last round against Stoke City, the professor gave a positive response for the first time: "After all, there are still several games to play in the league. One round of the league does not mean that we have lost the whole season. Now we are still number one in the league, aren't we? And if we lose this game, we will lose the whole season in the FA Cup. So it is necessary Rotation is necessary. Arsenal is a multi-line combat team, so rotation is necessary. It is also fair to every player! Because after a season, all players will get a lot of opportunities to play .”

"Everton? Yes, they are a very good team, there is no doubt about it. People who doubt it look at the current league table and they will know it. It is a wise decision for them to give up this game. Because they He is fully capable of reaching higher levels, and Martinez is also an excellent coach. Doubters will know just by looking at his record."

Li Zihan, as the best player in the game, and the "man of the hour" on the field naturally received the attention of the media.Whether it's those three assists, or the nearly ten shots that angrily shot the goal post without scoring, he can't keep a low profile on these two things.

"Forgot to bring your shooting boots? No, no, I'm actually practicing a trick, so let's try this game first. What stunt? Of course I won't tell you." Li Zihan smiled mischievously at the reporter who asked the question.

The reporters smiled friendly, and Li Zihan was still a 20-year-old child.Although he is very mature in many cases, but sometimes there will be some childish naughtiness.

Regarding Li Zihan's statement, the reporters just smiled in their hearts, thinking that Li Zihan was just a self-justified statement.

And then don't bother with this issue, the reporter quickly found other concerns.

"Everton? As the professor said before, they are a very capable team with many very talented players, such as Barkley, Naismith and Lukaku. Everton The possibility of Dunton hitting the Champions League seat? I don't think it is impossible, and dreams are still there, what if they come true?"

"Who is Everton most likely to replace in the Champions League? It's hard to say, because the top four in the Premier League are all heading for the championship. Chelsea's goal is not the championship? I don't care about it. Anyway, they are now tied with us for the first place in the league. , I will believe it when they completely lose the competition to win the championship. It is hard to say which of the top four teams in the Premier League is the first to fall behind or even qualify for the Champions League, because everyone is very strong. But the only certainty is Everton can take Manchester United's place perfectly."

Whether Manchester United can even play in the UEFA Cup is still one thing. Of course, it is impossible to compete for the top four Champions League seats.

"The second round of the Champions League knockout match against Bayern Munich? We will go all out. Two to zero is not an irreversible score. We can still go for it. In this championship, there are many big reversal scenes. Yes, I know they are strong. They are the defending champions of this championship, but there are still dreams, what if they come true?"
