Chapter 201 Champions League Group Stage Draw

Although Wenger was also thinking about this issue, it was impossible for him to replace Li Shou in this game. Among other things, Szczesny's performance in the entire first half seemed not bad, and the two conceded goals were indeed not responsible.

Besides, Arsenal are lagging behind now, can changing the goalkeeper solve this problem?

It's really hard to say if it's Li Shou, but Wenger obviously doesn't know enough about Li Shou, so Arsenal didn't make any substitutions during the halftime break.

The absence of substitutions does not mean that there is no change. Arsenal in the second half explained this very well. Arsenal, without any retreat, can only absolutely counterattack.

Arsenal completed a shot in less than a minute from the start of the second half. Sanchez sent a diagonal pass. Giroud rushed into the penalty area and volleyed and was blocked by Howard.

Arsenal made a comeback 2 minutes later, and Griezmann shot slightly wide of the penalty area. The Frenchman was still a little short of his first goal in Arsenal.

No. 603 minutes, Arsenal suffered a heavy blow, Sanchez was injured and left the field. Although the injury was not serious, there was definitely no way for this game. Chamberlain came off the bench.

No one thought that Chamberlain's appearance would be a turning point in this game. Although Chamberlain's goal was not the main contributor to Arsenal's goal, he played a very important role.

No.609 minutes, Arsenal finally equalized, Chamberlain and Wilshere switched positions, and then the two hit the wall to cooperate, Cazor pulled the ball down and sent the ball into the penalty area, Ramsey followed up and scored in the middle.

This is also Ramsey's second goal this season. In the first round, Ramsey's lore helped Arsenal win the Crystal Palace. Now Ramsey's goal has helped Arsenal regain hope.

"God bless those famous people far away," Andy Gray prayed with a pitiful face.

There is a strange law in Arsenal's midfield, that is, he will definitely die if he scores a goal. Although this is just a joke, Ramsey's law is a bit high.

After Ramsey's goal, Everton began to retreat, and the Everton coach began to replace defensive players, and even used substitutions to pass the time.

Arsenal also began to make substitutions here, Cazorla replaced Wilshere, and this substitution allowed Arsenal to usher in the second goal of the game.

Everton stood strong for 88 minutes, but failed to make it to the end. Monreal stepped in from the side, and Cazorola responded to help Monreal get to the bottom.

Monreal didn't hesitate after hitting the bottom, and sent the ball into the penalty area with one kick. At this time, Everton was behind the penalty area, and Giroud had already been waiting for a long time.

"2:2~~~ Another lore~~~Arsenal scored again at the last moment of the game. Although this goal did not allow Arsenal to win the game, it also prevented Arsenal from losing the game."

"Oh oh oh~~~ What's going on, Giroud was lying on the ground and didn't get up after scoring the goal. Could it be that he was injured?" The goal hero didn't get up again after landing.

Substitution?Sorry, Arsenal has no substitutions. Just 8 minutes before Giroud's goal, No. 80 minutes of the game, Wenger replaced Griezmann with Campbell.

Giroud obviously couldn't hold on to the game, and Arsenal could only accept the fact that there was one less player in the end, so at the last moment, all Arsenal retreated to keep the draw.

Arsenal got what they wanted. Although Everton launched a mad attack in the last 6 minutes, with Szczesny's high-speed block, Arsenal got a draw.

"Arsenal's offensive problem is actually not that big. Sanchez and Griezmann are both capable. They need time. The real problem for Arsenal is defense, which lies in the central defender. The professor should pay attention to this issue," Paul Merson said with a hint of worry in his tone.

Paul Merson's worries are of no use to Arsenal, because it is the team's management, the head coach Arsene Wenger, who determines the lifeline of Arsenal.

In the interview after the game, Wenger was also asked about defenders. In this regard, Wenger said that Arsenal will sign up in the next time.

But in fact Arsenal still did not sign in at the center back, and Wenger's attention was shifted after the interview was over because of Giroud's injury.

The French center was injured for three months, what does this mean?It means that Giroud will not be able to appear in Arsenal's game until 14 years have passed, which means that Arsenal will completely lose the main center for nearly half a season.

Arsenal needs to buy forwards. After Giroud was injured, Arsenal did not have a center forward in the orthodox sense. Sanchez and Griezmann were both wingers.

In addition, Arsenal also has a German striker Podolski. Unfortunately, this German striker was injured during the World Cup and has not yet recovered from his injury. Moreover, Podolski's scoring ability is worrying.

Therefore, in the next few days, Arsenal has been looking for a striker. At the same time, Li Shou has officially received a notification from Wenger that he will make his league debut in the next game.

However, before the arrival of the third round of the league, Arsenal still have the second round of the Champions League qualifying round to play, and the draw for the Champions League group stage will be ushered in the next day after the second round.

If Arsenal can win the first round, then Li Shou may appear in the second round, but unfortunately, Arsenal did not win the opponent in the first round, so Li Shou still sat on the bench in the second round.

As for the result of the second round, Arsenal won 1-0 and formally entered the group stage. Although Arsenal played qualifying matches almost every year to enter the main match, Arsenal are still the top players in the Champions League.

The UEFA Champions League draw is divided into four tiers, and the team in the first tier is the first to be drawn, so Arsenal's name soon appeared in front of the TV.

In fact, the draw of the first tier is nothing to watch, because the first tier is only drawn into groups. The real highlight is the subsequent draw, because some powerful teams belong to the second tier, or even the third tier.

Let’s say that Arsenal is in Group D. The second tier is from Dortmund in the Bundesliga. Dortmund is not weak. It is the team second only to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.

To be honest, Arsenal's Group D is not easy to play, because Arsenal's own strength is not strong, and it can even be said that Arsenal's strength belongs to the middle and lower reaches of the first grade.

Although Arsenal is not easy to play, it will not be worse than Manchester City. Group E of Manchester City is the real death group of this season's Champions League group stage. The first gear is Bayern Munich, the third is CSKA Moscow, and the last is Rome from Serie A.

Of the four teams in the Premier League, Manchester City is undoubtedly the worst, followed by Arsenal. The luckiest is Chelsea. The other three teams in Group G can hardly threaten Chelsea.
