Chapter 204 The Role of Li Shou (Subscribe)

"We performed well in the first half." The two-goal lead put Wenger in a good mood.

Not only Wenger is in a good mood, but the players are also in a good mood at the moment, especially Sanchez and Griezmann who finally scored their first goal to join Arsenal.

Wenger also emphasized Sanchez, Griezmann and Li Shou. There is no doubt that these three were the key to Arsenal's lead in the first half.

Wenger's praise is definitely not a good thing for players in the same position, especially the goalkeeper. Other positions will rotate wonderfully, but once the goalkeeper position is fixed, it is almost unshakable.

So Szczesny, who is sitting at the corner of the locker room at the moment, is in a bad mood, but no matter how bad he is, there is nothing he can do. Apart from asking the coach to give him a chance, a player mainly depends on himself.

The halftime break passed quickly, players from both sides returned to the court, and neither side made personnel changes during the halftime break.

The game restarted, and Leicester City, which had the right to the ball in the second half, launched a counterattack immediately after the game started. Andy King held the ball in the middle and cooperated with Mahrez to appear on the wing, and then sent the ball into the penalty area.

Chambers once again became a loophole in Arsenal's defense. He didn't keep a close eye on another Leicester striker, Nugent. Fortunately, Li Shou concentrated his attention and resolved Nugent's shot.

Then Li Shou punched out the corner kick. Li Shou didn't have the slightest trust in Arsenal's defense, so instead of expecting his teammates, he might as well do it himself. Besides, Li Shou did this all the time in Monaco.

"Lee cleared again, Arsenal launched a counterattack" But this time it was not a quick counterattack, and the ball came to Sanchez after two passes.

After the latter took the ball, he quickly rushed into Leicester City's half. Griezmann and Cazorla switched positions and moved across the middle to respond, while Cazorla on the left had already rushed to the Leicester City penalty area.

Seeing this, Sanchez decisively made a collision with Griezmann and then found an open space to send the ball to Cazorla. The latter's shot after receiving the pass was saved by Schmeichel.

Speaking of Schmeichel's performance in this game, it is true that Schmeichel does not have the talent of his father, but he is still an excellent goalkeeper, and he has made himself outstanding through hard work.

In 6 minutes, Mahrez broke through from the wing and passed Ulloa obliquely. The latter received the pass and dunked Chambers. Arsenal's goal was once again exposed to the center of Leicester City.

"Opportunity~~~Ulloa~~~Push to the far corner" Ulloa, who dunked Chambers, kicked decisively and shot.

"Don't think about it" When Ulloa finished the shot, a voice of unknown meaning came from his ear, and then Ulloa saw the hand of the Arsenal goalkeeper appearing in front of the ball that was about to fly into the goal.

"Li~~~ He saved Chambers again and saved Arsenal's goal." Li Shou once again blocked Ulloa's shot with an excellent save.

Seeing the ball being blocked out of the baseline by Li Shou, a trace of helplessness flashed in Wuluoya's eyes. He got two excellent opportunities in this game, but both of them were stifled by Li Shou.

You know, Leicester City has only shot seven shots so far in this game. This kind of excellent opportunity can be said to be very rare.

"Lee seems to be able to really change Arsenal's defense, but if Arsenal want to make a difference this season, in addition to relying on Lee, they also need to solve the problem of central defenders." This game has proved that Arsenal's central defenders are insufficient, and Chambers is indeed not suitable for playing central defenders.

Leicester City almost got a goal back, and Arsenal actually had a chance to expand the score. In the 603rd minute, Cazorla sent a wonderful kick pass. Ramsey rushed into the penalty area and succeeded in anti-offside, but the final header angle was too right, and the ball was directly sent into Schmeichel's arms.

2 minutes later, Arsenal scored again in the hinterland of Leicester City. Monreal, who was plugged in from the wing, sent a through ball, and the ball was accurately delivered to Sanogo's feet.

But the French striker didn't seize such an opportunity. His push went directly away from the goal, and Arsenal once again missed the opportunity to completely kill the game.

After Arsenal's unsuccessful shot, Leicester City made the first adjustment of the game. Vardy came off the bench and replaced Schlupp, and Leicester City changed.

Vardy's appearance still has a certain effect. The England striker is very fast, and he seems to know his advantages.

Two minutes after coming off the bench, Vardy relied on his own speed to get a chance, the cooperation between Vardy and Nugent.

Vardy held the ball to attract the attention of the defender and passed the ball to Nugent, who did not let the ball stop at his feet and immediately passed it back to Vardy.

And at the moment of passing, Varney has passed Mertesacker. The two-meter Mertesacker's frontal confrontation ability is his strength, and his speed and turning are his weaknesses.

As for Chambers, he had already been attracted by Ulloa at this moment. In this case, Li Shou could only rely on himself, and Li Shou knew this very well.

So Li Shou attacked decisively, and Vardy was smart enough to shoot decisively when he saw this, but he ignored something very important, that is, Li Shou's speed, explosive power and abnormality of jumping.

After retreating, taking off, and holding the ball out of the baseline with one hand, Li Shou told the Leicester City striker that lobbing was useless for him.

"Although Lee's debut is not over yet, from this moment on, I am a fan of Lee," Andy Gray exaggerated.

"Arsenal seems to have made a great transfer." Paul Merson was also shocked by Li Shou's save.

The attack lures the opponent to lob the shot, and then retreats at the moment the opponent lobs the shot, and then firmly lifts the ball out of the baseline, almost perfectly resolving the opponent's attack.

"Lee is like a wall, a wall that makes Leicester City hopeless" As time goes by, Leicester City's hope is gradually disappearing.

Coupled with the advantage Arsenal already had, although Arsenal did not score another goal in the second half, even Wenger made successive adjustments, but this still failed to help Arsenal score the third goal of the game.

But the referee Anthony Taylor blew the score at the end of the game and it was still 2:0, but no matter what, this 2:0 has ensured that Arsenal won the game and ensured that Arsenal answered the victory track.

Although Sanchez and Griezmann scored Arsenal's two goals, it was Li Shou who scored the highest after the game. From this we can see how good Li Shou's performance was in this game.

Of course, this is also thanks to the help of Arsenal's defense. Anyone who is not blind can see how bad Arsenal's defense is in this game.
