Football's hand covers the sky

Chapter 380 Gradually Getting Better

The ball came to Arsenal, Li Shou passed the ball to Monreal, who gave it to Ramsey, and then Ramsey passed it to Cazorla.

Arsenal is no longer the Arsenal it used to be. The beatings in recent years have made Wenger realize the reality. With Arsenal's current lineup, playing offensive football has no future.

The arrival of Li Shou gave Wenger a chance to change, and Li Shou also told Wenger with clean sheets one after another that his change was correct.

Arsenal did not rush to attack, not to mention that Arsenal's tactics are led by defensive counterattacks, and the mentality of the Arsenal players is not suitable for Barcelona to attack at the beginning.

Barcelona is not only strong, but also experienced. What about Arsenal?It was the first time for the whole team to play in the Champions League final, and they were so nervous before the game that they needed to be relieved.

Now Arsenal is much better than before, and as the game progresses, the mentality of Arsenal players will get better and better, because they will find that the Champions League final is no different from ordinary games, they can play as they want, and when the players gradually focus on the game, they will not think about the so-called final at all.

Although Arsenal's attack did not form a shot in the end, it took nearly 3 minutes. In the 5th minute, Sanchez's pass was intercepted, and Barcelona immediately launched a fast break.

Mascherano passed the ball to Messi, Messi moved the ball to Alba's feet, and the latter passed the ball to Neymar.

After the Brazilian took the ball, he attacked the Arsenal penalty area again, but this time Neymar did not choose to come by himself, but passed it to Iniesta who was forward after attracting Arsenal's defenders.

The former Xiaobai has become an old Bai. It is said that Iniesta is the only player who received two applause at the Bernabeu, and the second time was in the league that just ended.

Iniesta rushed to the front of Arsenal's penalty area with the ball. In order to intercept Iniesta, Arsenal's defense had a fatal loophole. At this time, Rakitic in the middle had already rushed into the Arsenal penalty area.

"Empty space~~~Arsenal's defense line was torn apart, and Rakitic's position was completely empty." How could Iniesta, a top midfielder in world football, miss this opportunity.

With a diagonal pass, the ball rolled into the penalty area from the left side of the penalty area and rolled in front of Rakitic. Iniesta's pass was just right, and Rakitic did not need to make any adjustments.

"Opportunity~~~Barcelona's great opportunity" shot from an open space in the penalty area, which can be said to be a very good opportunity.

"No~~~Lee" But don't forget, who is that person standing in front of Arsenal.

"Rakitic's shot is wonderful, but Lee's save is even better." Rakitic, who was open, had enough time to choose an angle, but Li Shou's precise prediction and excellent response made Rakitic's almost inevitable shot come back without success.

"This is Lee, as long as he is still standing in front of Arsenal's goal, no one can break through Arsenal's goal," Andy Gray said excitedly.

"I thought we were going to lose the ball," Paul Merson said with a look of fear.

"Well, I'm different. I firmly believe that Lee can block Rakitic's shot." In this final, Sky Sports not only sent Andy Gray and Paul Merson as regular partners, but Henry, the former king of Arsenal, also appeared in the commentary booth again.

"Hey~~~ Andy, I don't know who jumped up first," Paul Merson said immediately.

It is said that Henry has also played for Barcelona, ​​​​but it really takes a turn of feelings. Henry must still be on the side of Arsenal. After all, he was once the king at Arsenal, and his move to Barcelona was more just to fulfill his Champions League dream.

Barcelona's attack was not over yet, Iniesta took a corner kick, the ball was cleared by Mertesacker, and the Arsenal captain overwhelmed Pique in this fight.

But the ball that was cleared was still at the feet of the Barcelona player, the Brazilian Neymar, who immediately took the ball and shot it, and the ball flew into the Arsenal penalty area.

"Handball~~~" The ball didn't really fly towards Arsenal's goal, but was blocked by Arsenal players before the goal. Bellerin, Neymar shot and hit Bellerin's arm.

For a while, the Barcelona crowd was raging, and the Barcelona fans in the stands also shouted for a penalty kick, but unfortunately, the referee did not award a penalty kick to Barcelona.

"Kaggil, the Turkish referee made a very fair penalty." The referee, known as the "England Nemesis", ignored the Barcelona player rushing towards him, and firmly stated that this was not a penalty, because Bellerin did not reach out to block the ball in the face of Neymar's shot.

Bellerin finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Cahill's penalty. Bellerin was stunned when the ball hit his arm. There was only one thought left in his mind, that he would become the team's sinner.

"Thank you, Li." A relieved Bellerin thanked Li Shou. When Bellerin was worried that he would become a sinner, Li Shou comforted him.

Li Shou is great?Of course not. After Barcelona rushed to Cargill, the Arsenal players also rushed over. In this case, Li Shou couldn't get in even if he wanted to find the referee. He might as well comfort his teammates. After all, if he is really going to be sentenced to a penalty kick, Bellerin should be the one who suffers the most.

Even with Bellerin's age and mentality, it is likely to completely collapse. This is a Champions League final, which will determine the Champions League champion.

"Did the Turkish referee find out his conscience?" Although the referee did not award a penalty kick, England's resentment towards Kargill was not ordinary.

But no matter what, this is news for Arsenal. Although Li Shou has confidence in himself, and he still has 100% ability to save penalty kicks, but there is a price to pay.

In fact, to Li Shou, that price was nothing. The reduction of all attributes by 1 seemed a lot, but with Li Shou's current attributes, the impact would not be too great.

No.11 minutes, Arsenal finally completed the first shot of the game, Cazorla sent a long pass over the top, Giroud headed back to Ramsey on the field.

The latter received the pass and immediately sent a diagonal pass to send the ball to the front of Barcelona's penalty area. Griezmann rushed to it. Although Alves followed closely, Griezmann still completed the shot.

Of course, the result of the forced shot will definitely not be very good. The ball went directly above the crossbar, but Arsenal's offense is not over yet, and Ter Stegen's pass was topped by Coquelin.

The ball came to hit Ramsey again, and Ramsey split the side again. This time, Sanchez played on the other side. Giroud also reacted and rushed into the penalty area in the middle. Sanchez immediately kicked a pass when he saw this.
