Football's hand covers the sky

Chapter 333

Arsenal now hold an away goal, and the second leg will be held at Arsenal's home Emirates Stadium, so the so-called home advantage in the Champions League is mixed.

Once Arsenal loses the ball at the Emirates Stadium, the advantage of away goals will disappear, and it is even likely that the opponent will have the advantage of away goals in the end.

Arsenal must be more careful in the second round, because the result of this game will determine whether the team can go further.

Although Wenger will not take it lightly, the situation in the league is relatively clear. As long as Arsenal makes no mistakes, there is not much suspense about the title of the champion.

So Arsenal can focus more on the Champions League in the following games, but there is a prerequisite for this, that is, Arsenal can get past Juventus first.

The further back the Champions League knockout round is, the better it is for Arsenal now. In the league, Arsenal have a big enough lead, and the Champions League games are spaced in the middle of the league. What Arsenal have to do is not make mistakes.

Arsenal has been away from the league for ten years, but in fact Arsenal's desire for the Champions League is stronger than the league, because Arsenal has never touched this honor.

Arsenal is a wealthy family, but Arsenal's status as a wealthy family has always been criticized. The biggest reason for this is that Arsenal lacks the honor of the Champions League.

If it weren't for Arsenal's strength from the 80s to the early 90s, maybe Arsenal would be the same as Chelsea in previous years.

The Russian oligarchs led Chelsea to set off a storm of gold dollars, but even if Chelsea defended the league title and have always been the most powerful contender for the league title, they were only called fake giants. This situation did not change until Chelsea won the Champions League.

Therefore, the Champions League is not only about money for the giants, but more because it can increase the team's heritage and gain more recognition.

On the morning of March 3th, Allegri came to London with Juventus players as scheduled, and at the moment Allegri walked out of a few games, countless media flocked to the Juventus head coach.

In the game just before the Champions League, Juventus veteran midfielder Pirlo was injured. Allegri originally wanted to let Pirlo play halftime, but Pirlo was injured in the first half and forced to replace him.

Although Pirlo is 34 years old, this veteran has maintained a very good state. He is very important in Juventus tactics. He is the team's metronome and the initiator of the offense.

In the face of these swarming reporters, Allegri will naturally not tell the truth, and neither will Pirlo, so these waiting media simply cannot get the answers they want.

But this is not important, because the media knows that they will not get a real answer, they just need to report this matter, and it is Wenger and Arsenal who should really worry.

Wenger is indeed worrying about this problem, but in fact Pirlo's appearance will not have any impact on Arsenal's lineup. As for tactics, it is even more impossible, because Arsenal has only one core this season.

Rather than saying that Wenger is worried about whether Pirlo will appear, it is better to say that Wenger is thinking about what tactics Allegri will use to play the second round.

In fact, compared with the first round, Juventus only made two changes in the starting lineup. On the striker Tevez replaced Llorente, and midfielder Pereira was injured by Pirlo.

Arsenal has one change, the right back has changed from Chambers to Bellerin, so the two sides have not changed much, and the tactics will naturally not change much.

But Pirlo's injury still has a certain impact on Juventus. Not to mention other aspects, Pirlo's free kick alone is not comparable to Pereira.

"There is not much change in the lineup of both sides." Under the whistle from the Serbian referee Mazic, the game officially started.

Although playing away, Juventus chose the opening ball. This is also a helpless move. Juventus is currently behind in the score. He must score as soon as possible, otherwise he may be dragged to death by Arsenal.

Arsenal needs to withstand Juventus' opening attack. As long as it withstands, the advantage will slowly shift to Arsenal as time goes by.

The first wave of Juventus' offensive was launched from the left. After a few passes, Evra jumped in at high speed, but at the moment Evra received the pass, Ramsey made a flying shovel from the side and destroyed the ball out of the sideline.

Ramsey would never have imagined that his sabotage almost caused the team to lose the ball. Evra threw the ball to Morata, who wanted to turn around and rush into the penalty area, but under the defense of Koscielny, Morata was still unable to turn around.

But at this time, Tevez suddenly retreated, Mertesacker's reaction was a step slower, and with the burden brought by the tall stature of the German central defender, Tevez's position was completely empty.

Seeing this, Morata immediately knocked the ball horizontally, and the ball came to Tevez's feet. After the Argentine took the ball, he didn't even look at Arsenal's goal and Li Shou's positional shot.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether you look at the goal or Li Shou's position, because Tevez has already decided the angle and position he wants to shoot, and he really did it.

"Blind corner~~~ball~~~none~~~Li~~~Li Fei blocked Tevez's shot, it was a wonderful encounter" Tevez hit the ball straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

"Tevez's shot was amazing. He shot straight to the dead corner without looking at the goal, but Li Shou's save was even more exciting." Li Shou took a step sideways at the moment Tevez kicked, and this step finally allowed Li Shou to arrive and block the ball before it crossed the goal line.

With anticipation, reaction and instant explosive power, Li Shou once again interpreted the definition of "perfect goalkeeper" in Buffon's mouth.

Seeing that his shot was finally saved by Li Shou, Tevez shook his head helplessly. This shot deliberately did not look at Li Shou, and it was completely based on feeling, but even so, it still failed to pass Li Shou's ten fingers.

"Where did this guy come from?" This is not only Tevez's inner thoughts, it is estimated that all Arsenal opponents will have such thoughts when they see Li Shou making a save.

Juventus's offense is not over yet, Pereira took a corner kick, and Pogba got the first spot in the penalty area. The French midfielder has a height of 191, but headers are not what he is good at, so Pogba's header is not the slightest threat.

In the transition between offense and defense, Li Shou sent the ball to Monreal. The latter found Griezmann with a kick. Griezmann was also destroyed while advancing along the wing with the ball.

The ball returned to Juventus's feet, and after a pass, it entered Arsenal's half again. In the end, Pogba shot a long shot and was directly confiscated by Li Shou.
