Football's hand covers the sky

Chapter 229 Galatasaray

The North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham will soon be over. After all, after the FA's penalty, everything has been concluded. Therefore, everyone's attention has shifted to the upcoming second game of the Champions League group stage.

Arsenal will face the Turkish giants Galatasaray in the second game. Compared with Dortmund, Galatasaray is undoubtedly weaker, and Arsenal will play at home in this game.

However, football has never only looked at strength on paper. The real victory or defeat can only be determined by playing a game on the pitch, so Arsenal must not take it lightly.

Son Yejin had been worried for a long time about the kick before "protect yourself".

"Nu Na, I'm very strong." Li Shou brightened his biceps.

With the arrival of this Champions League group match, the vacation of those who came with Son Yejin has come to an end. Originally, Li Shou planned to invite everyone to his home after the game with Tottenham, but because of the conflict with Chadley, he had to postpone it until after the game.

It just so happened that those people were going back to South Korea after the game, and Li Shou also ushered in his own little holiday. After the FA penalty came out, Li Shou approached Wenger.

Regarding Li Shou's request for leave, Wenger graciously agreed, and even directly gave Li Shou a week's vacation. After the game with Galatasaray, Li Shou can go on vacation directly, and then wait until the team resumes training before returning.

This is also Wenger's reward to Li Shou. Li Shou's hard work on the training ground can be seen, and because of Li Shou's hard work, Wenger is willing to give Li Shou this short vacation.

But when Li Shou followed the team to prepare for today's game, Sun Yizhen brought everyone to the Emirates Stadium again, and they were in the same position as the previous North London Derby.

Although the Emirates Stadium is still full of seats, compared with the previous game, the Emirates Stadium is less frenzied and irritable. This is the difference between the derby and ordinary games.

Compared with the previous game, Arsenal's starting lineup is the same as that of Derby, and there are changes in the midfield. Arteta was replaced by Flamini, and Cazorla replaced Ramsey.

No, there is also Sanchez. After three days, Sanchez, who was only slightly injured, has recovered, so the trident of Griezmann, Sanchez and Welbeck is still on the front line of this game.

Arsenal is considered the strongest lineup, as is Galatasaray. Goalkeeper Muslera, defenders Cherru, Kaya, Telles, midfielder Dzemayli, Sneijder, Melo, Kurtulus, Sarri, forwards Pandev and Yilmaz.

A small half of this Galatasaray team comes from Serie A. The goalkeeper has played for Lazio, Melo has played for Juventus, Sneijder and Pandev have played for Inter Milan.

From these people, we can also see the reality and cruelty of football, especially Sneijder. The Dutch midfielder was the top midfielder in Europe at his peak. At that time, many top giants rushed to get it, but now he can only play for Galatasaray.

You know, Sneijder is only 30 years old this year. This should have been the golden age of a player, at the peak of his career, but he went downhill a few years ago.

Today's game seems to be inseparable from Serie A, and the referee is also Gianluca Rocchi from Italy.

"Although Li Shou received a yellow card in the last game, it was only in the league, so Li Shou can continue to play in the Champions League game." How could Li Shou play without Zhan Jun and Zhang Guidance.

"Li Shou was a little irrational in the last game, but it is understandable that it happened in the Derby. I just hope that Li Shou can take this as a warning in the future and don't have similar things happen again."

"Yeah, after all, we all want to see Li Shou on the court." As China's commentator, it is natural to stand on our side in this kind of matter. Besides, Li Shou is at fault for this matter, but the biggest responsibility is still on the opponent.

"The game has started, Arsenal took the lead to kick off" Following the referee's whistle, the two began to bring the topic back to the game.

On the field, Welbeck had already passed back to Cazorla, who then passed the ball to Wilshere, and the Arsenal teenager quickly sent the ball into the Galatasaray half.

Sanchez, missing the North London derby Sanchez can only vent his inner depression on Galatasaray, the derby quickly conquered the fans. Sanchez performed well at Arsenal, but in the first few rounds, the limelight was completely robbed by Li Shou.

So for the last North London Derby, Sanchez was full of heart, but he missed it because of his carelessness.

The three-back system is somewhat inadequate for the defense of the wing, requiring full-backs and midfielders to fill in. This gives Sanchez a chance, and the Chilean is not slow.

So Arsenal's first wave of offense was Sanchez's personal performance. After receiving a pass from Wilshere, Sanchez immediately dribbled the ball into Galatasaray's ribs, and then crossed into the front of the penalty area.

Welbeck and Griezmann rushed into the penalty area to create a chance for Sanchez, and Sanchez also shot a very good shot.

"Almost~~~Arsenal was almost able to score in the opening game." Sanchez did not rush into the penalty area, and blasted a strong shot directly from the penalty area line.

Muslera obviously didn't expect that Sanchez would kick in this position, because he could shoot after entering the penalty area, so facing Sanchez's shot, Muslera didn't have time to make a save.

The first kick ended up hitting the post, but Arsenal's second shot was soon completed. Welbeck fought the ball in the hinterland and ferried the ball to Cazorla, who blasted a long-range shot from outside the penalty area and hit the defender.

After Arsenal's two shots were fruitless, Galatasaray also ushered in their first shot, a long-range shot from Brazilian defender Telles.

As we all know, Brazilian defenders have a heart to play forwards. Originally, Galatasaray had a three-back system. Now that Tres is plugged in, Galatasaray has only two defenders left.

It's a pity that Arsenal failed to break the ball and allowed Telles to complete the shot. However, Telles' shot could not threaten Arsenal's goal. Li Shou stood up in advance and directly pocketed Telles' shot.

"Although I have seen it several times, I have to say that Li is really courageous and confident." Telles's long-range shot is quite powerful. Facing such a powerful shot, the general goalkeeper would choose to hold the ball out, but Li Shou chose to directly control the ball.

It is very dangerous to do this, because once the hand is released, it is likely to be supplemented by the opponent. At the same time, the advantage of doing this is obvious, that is, it does not give the opponent a second chance to attack.
