Football's hand covers the sky

Chapter 242 Three Wins in a Row

Relying on Li Shou's free kick goal before the end of the first half, well, "forced" by the head coach to kick it up, Arsenal took the lead into the halftime break.

"Dude~~~ Don't forget, I want to eat seafood, I want to eat crab and lobster." On the way back to the locker room, Li Shou found Sanchez, followed by Griezmann.

"Eh~~~ Did I say that?" Sanchez looked at Griezmann with amnesia.

"I said it, you said you wanted to invite us to dinner." Griezmann was obviously on Li Shou's side at this time.

"Fart, I mean Lee scored a goal, I treat you, not your share" Sanchez immediately retorted.

"Alexis, I created this free kick," Griezmann said.

"And what you said is that you invite, you didn't say that only Li is invited." During the argument between the two, the group returned to the locker room.

After seeing Wenger's face, the smiles on everyone's faces began to disappear. Although the team did have a one-goal lead, this advantage seemed to have nothing to do with most of the team's players.

Although Wenger's face was not good-looking, he did not lose his temper. After all, the team is leading now, and Arsenal still had an advantage in the first half, but they missed the goal.

Therefore, during the intermission, Wenger has been hesitating whether to make a substitution, and Podolski entered the substitute list for this game.

The German forward is really better than Welbeck, at least he has performed very well in the national team, and the club's goal rate is also higher than Welbeck.

It's just that the German's current health is really bad, with constant minor injuries, and his condition is not good, so replacing Podolski may not be better than Welbeck.

At least Welbeck has good physical fitness and has a certain ability to compete for the top on the front line, and Li Shou can often rely on clearance to fight back after his debut. Welbeck is also better than the perennially injured Podolski in terms of speed and explosiveness.

After weighing it again and again, Wenger didn't choose to make a substitution. He was going to take a look. Although Welbeck was unreliable, he could still surprise people occasionally.

In the end, neither side made personnel changes during the intermission. After the start of the second half, Anderlecht, who played at home, launched a fierce counterattack.

But it is a pity that Anderlecht's counterattack was still unable to overcome Li Shou's hurdle. No. 407 minutes, Siriak made a cross, and Conte's long-range shot from outside the penalty area was saved by Li Shou.

The subsequent corner kick was cleared again by Li Shou. Arsenal tried to use this opportunity to counterattack. As a result, the ball was cut off after it came to Welbeck's feet, giving Anderlecht a chance again.

It was still Conte, but this time Conte was the passer. Anderlecht sent a kick pass from the midfielder, but it was Li Shou standing in the goalkeeper, who was cleared by Li Shou again.

In 3 minutes, Monreal fouled outside the penalty area and gave Anderlecht a free kick. Li Shou didn't even give the opponent a corner kick for this free kick, and directly pocketed it.

In 7 minutes, Arsenal completed the first shot in the second half. It came from Griezmann's cross on the left. Sanchez, who was less than 1.7 meters away, headed the ball, but Sanchez's header was too straight.

After all, Sanchez relies on his feet for a living. Besides, with a height of less than 1.7 meters, Sanchez is unreliable even if he wants to rely on headers.

After the frenzied start, the two sides entered a stable period for a while, and neither of them really threatened each other's goals. Wenger was very dissatisfied with this situation, so Wenger made the first substitution of the game in No. 605 minutes. Podolski replaced Welbeck.

Welbeck had a few chances in this game, but the kicks were really stink, and after the start of the second half, it was like sleepwalking, with almost no performance.

Wenger's substitution did not have any effect. On the contrary, after 5 minutes of Wenger's substitution, Anderlecht almost broke the Arsenal goal.

Platt made a diagonal pass from the right, and Arsenal's defense once again had a fatal hole. Nayar on the left actually shot out from the diagonal, with no defensive players around him.

If the ball finally comes to Nayarga, then only Li Shou is left in front of Nayar, which will be very dangerous, and Li Shou is naturally unwilling to face this danger by himself.

Hitting halfway, I saw Li Shou rushing out from the goal, and then with a sliding shovel on the ground, he blocked the ball from the middle, thus defusing Anderlecht's attack.

"Li Shou once again defuses the opponent's attack." Although Li Shou's attack was very risky, the Arsenal people are used to it, so they didn't notice anything.

Of course, the most important point is that Li Shou's timing is very good for each attack, and he can succeed every time. This is why everyone thinks that Li Shou's attack is no problem.

In the transition between offense and defense, Li Shou gave the ball to Chambers. Chambers, who received Li Shou's pass, did not pass the ball.

To be honest, no one had thought of this scene, but no one would have thought of the next scene. Chambers crossed, no, it should be more like a big foot transfer. The ball flew from the back to the left. At this moment, left back Gibbs was rushing up. Facing Chambers' pass, Gibbs kicked his head.

"This~~this~~~this is a goal?"

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL~~~Arsenal extend their lead, attack from two full-backs, assist from Chambers, goal from Gibbs" This is a goal across both sides.

"A goal that no one would have thought of, came from the cooperation of two full-backs." This goal is even more unbelievable than Li Shou's free kick.

At least Li Shou scored two goals before. Although the success rate is a bit exaggerated, but now this goal is a stroke of genius and cannot be copied.

This is the media of football, you never know what kind of unbelievable coordination and unbelievable goal you will play in the next second.

This goal was a huge blow to Anderlecht's morale. Although the difference between 1:0 and 2:0 was only one goal, this goal was enough to make Anderlecht lose the courage to counterattack.

What's more, Arsenal's goal is not over yet. After the game restarted, Arsenal completed the steal and made a quick counterattack. Griezmann received a long pass from Cazorla and rushed into the penalty area to face the goalkeeper single-handedly.

Griezmann is not Welbeck. He didn't let this one-handed opportunity miss this time. Facing the Anderlecht goalkeeper, Griezmann shot decisively. The ball flew past the goalkeeper and flew into the goal.

This goal was the last straw that crushed Anderlecht. The 3:0 score completely made Anderlecht desperate, and it also allowed Arsenal to welcome their third victory in the group stage.
