Football's hand covers the sky

Chapter 200 Continuous Substitution

After the first round of the qualifying round, Arsenal immediately turned their attention to the league. In this round of the league, Arsenal will be a guest at Liverpool to challenge Everton. Although Arsenal has an absolute advantage in history, Arsenal also lost the game by a big score last season.

In the transfer market, Arsenal has almost no action, the signing of the central defender is nowhere in sight, and Van Dijk has been put on hold infinitely because of 200 million pounds.

Although Van Dijk himself wanted to transfer to Arsenal and even took the initiative to show his favor, he did not threaten the club because of this. On the contrary, the Dutchman wanted to impress Arsenal with his performance on the court.

Because of Li Shou's relationship, Van Dijk was also followed by Shamali, and Shamali even had the urge to sign a contract for the first time after seeing Van Dijk's performance.

But it is a pity that Van Dijk already has an agent. Although Shamali can try to poach corners, in fact Shamali did not do so.

In this past summer, Li Shou almost joined Liverpool. If Arsenal hadn't offered Li Shou at that time, it's a pity that there was no such thing in this world. Li Shou was already an Arsenal player.

In the face of Everton, Li Shou still did not start. Although Wenger made a wide range of adjustments to the starting lineup, this did not include the goalkeeper.

Koscielny was replaced by Mertesacker at central defender. In the end, Gibbs was injured and Monreal started. The other two were Debig and Chambers.

In the midfield, Flamini replaced Amitta, Ramsey and Wilshere wanted to continue to start, and Giroud, Sanchez and Griezmann formed the striker.

Seeing Li Shou still sitting on the bench, the domestic fans felt an indescribable disappointment, and they even began to feel that Li Shou should not transfer to Arsenal.

You know, Li Shou has a lot of choices this summer. Not to mention other things, Real Madrid and Barcelona alone are enough to make many players envious, but Li Shou chose Arsenal.

"I don't know if this young Chinese goalkeeper regrets choosing Arsenal now," said Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray, looking at Li Shou who was sitting on the bench.

"Maybe the professor thinks Lee needs a little more time" Andy Gray's partner is Arsenal legend Paul Merson.

"Hahaha~~~ Paul, I knew you would say that." As a famous Arsenal player, it is normal to favor Arsenal.

"To be honest, I'm kind of looking forward to the debut of this Chinese goalkeeper, to see if he's really that amazing." Andy Gray obviously did his homework.

...................................................

"Today's Li Shou is still sitting on the bench." In far away China, Zhan Jun's tone also contained a hint of disappointment, which was more reasonable for the fans.

But Li Shou on the bench didn't seem to be disappointed because of the substitute. When the camera was pulled to Li Shou, this guy always had a smile on his face, and even talked and laughed with his teammates who were sitting on the bench together.

The game on the field has already started. Everton, who are playing at home, took the lead in launching the offensive. Barry split sides, Miralas took the ball enough for Naismith to cooperate, and then Lukaku rushed into the Monaco penalty area to overwhelm Chambers with a header.

Well, Chambers, who plays as a central defender, feels that anyone can bully him, not to mention Lukaku's physical fitness is very good, even Mertesacker may not be able to withstand it.

Being bullied in defense, Chambers decided to regain his sense of presence in offense. In the 9th minute of the game, Sanchez broke through from the wing and was brought down. Arsenal got a chance to set the ball.

Chambers rushed into the penalty area, Sanchez took a set kick, Chambers headed the ball, Griezmann appeared in the most appropriate position, and the shot in front of the goal reached the crossbar.

Ten minutes later, Arsenal gradually turned from a disadvantage to an advantage, but this did not seem to be a good thing for Arsenal, because Arsenal's defense was too fragile.

No.20 minutes, Baines stepped in from the wing and cooperated with Barry. Arsenal's defense made a fatal mistake. Paris sent the ball into the penalty area with a low pass.

There was clearly not much Szczesny could do in a one-on-one situation, so seconds later Everton were wildly celebrating their first goal of the game.

"This situation seems to be somewhat similar to the previous game." Arsenal also conceded the first goal against Crystal Palace in the first round, but Everton is not Crystal Palace, Everton is a strong Premier League team.

The next time seems to prove this point. Although Arsenal has an advantage, the advantage is far from comparable to that in the first game against Crystal Palace, and Everton is not always passively beaten.

At the end of the first round, Crystal Palace only had 4 shots, but Everton's shots far exceeded this number before the first half of the game ended.

And before the end of the first half, Everton also expanded the score, and even the game was full of the shadow of the first round. Everton's second goal occurred in stoppage time in the first half.

This goal also fully demonstrated the weakness of Arsenal's defense in front of everyone. Lukaku waded through Mertesacker after receiving a pass from his teammate, and then passed Chambers to send a through pass. Naismith rushed into the penalty area to face Szczesny.

The script of the first goal seemed to be repeated, except that Szczesny faced Naismith instead of Coleman, but the result was exactly the same. Arsenal fell behind 0:2 before the first half.

"Arsenal must pay attention to the problem of defenders. The transfer time is running out. If the professor does not act, Arsenal will still do nothing this season." As a meritorious player for Arsenal, Paul Merson couldn't help criticizing.

"To be honest, sometimes Wenger's thoughts are really unpredictable. Even though the goalkeeper won the Premier League last season's gold gloves, he was still willing to spend 2000 million to buy them. He even went to Korea to invite them himself. There are only two orthodox central defenders left, but they just don't want to buy them." Andy Gray also said that Arsenal's buyers were very confused.

Paul Merson and Andy Gray continued to talk about Arsenal's signings, and players from both sides on the pitch have returned to the dressing room.

The Arsenal players who returned to the locker room didn't even dare to breathe, because Wenger's face was very ugly, and they played quite poorly in the first half, especially Szczesny.

Although these two conceded goals have little to do with Szczesny, in a one-on-one situation, the goalkeeper really can't do much, but even so, the fact that he conceded two goals cannot be changed, because these two conceded goals were conceded when he was guarding the goal.

Even at this moment, Szczesny couldn't help wondering if it was Li Shou, would it be possible to throw one out, after all, Li Shou's blindfolded pounce left a deep impression on Szczesny.

In fact, not only Szczesny, but even Wenger is wondering if the current situation of Arsenal will be different if Li Shou starts the game?
