The Premier League arsenal, the king of thermos cups

Chapter 136 The Yellow Card War
After getting up, the referee gave a free kick and gave Vidal a yellow card.

The offense of both sides is very sharp. Juventus' frontcourt Morata and Carlos Tevez are both players with strong personal abilities. They performed well in the first half and played to the level they should have.

As for Arsenal, in the eyes of the fans, they also performed very well. There are two midfielders, Cazorla and Rosicky, and the threat in the frontcourt is also strong. Sanchez, Giroud and Zhou Yang all have the ability to threaten the goal, especially Zhou Yang's half-time performance in the first half was even more expected and a bit unexpected.

At the end of the first half, a free kick was awarded.

The free kick is very close, Sanchez and Cazorla stand.

The next moment, Sanchez stepped forward and slammed the goal nearby, and Zhou Yang also turned around and followed up in the penalty area.

Kick high.

The referee gave 1 minute stoppage time, and not long after, the first half of the game just ended.

After the first half, the two sides played 0-0.

Zhou Yang followed the players back to the player tunnel. Everyone was still in a normal mood and chatted with each other to maintain the relaxed atmosphere of the team.

Go back to the locker room and start taking a little rest.

A group of people listened to Wenger explain the offensive and defensive situation and problems in the halftime in the locker room.

Wenger told everyone that he performed well in the first half and tried to concentrate on doing his own thing well.

With a 2-1 away game in the first leg, Juventus needed to score two goals at the Emirates Stadium to qualify.

In Zhou Yang's view, their goal today is very simple. As long as they score another goal, all the pressure will come to Juventus.

"The second half of this game may be even more difficult." Wenger stood in the locker room and did not put pressure on everyone, but he did not show any ease.

"Because it's against Juventus, we can't have any looseness."

"Many things and changes often happen suddenly, so we must always stay focused to face him."

Indeed, the second half will be more difficult, Zhou Yang understands.

Juventus has already suffered a small loss from the lineup and starting personnel today, let alone the opponent's tactical execution is in place. The most important thing is that Juventus and these people are very experienced, whether it is offense or defense.

If the opposite side scores a goal, then the pressure may come to them.

But if I also score a goal here, there will also be pressure on Juventus.

There are 45 minutes of game time in the second half.

A few minutes later, after a complete break, Zhou Yang and everyone left the locker room and returned to the Emirates Stadium.

It is impossible for Juventus to make too many changes. After all, they need to score two goals in this game to enter the Champions League semi-finals.

At the beginning of the second half, the opponent still played well on offense.

Juventus took the lead and launched an attack in the midfield not long after they came up. Marchisio pushed the ball in. Tevez quickly ran to follow up and took the ball. Koscielny knocked him to the ground. Cork Lan did not follow up in time, and Koscielny could only react at the front of the penalty area and knocked down the opponent.

The referee came up and handed Koscielny a yellow card.

Tevez's offensive finishing ability is too strong, and now Tevez seems to be planning to break into the penalty area.

At the beginning of the second half, Juventus still played vigorously, and Pirlo and Marchisio were used to enrich the offensive rhythm of the midfield, thus threatening their defense.

The front of the penalty area is close to the right, a 25-meter free kick.

Zhou Yang followed up his teammates to defend.

The referee came over and drew a line, and Pirlo took the free kick.

beep!
A whistle sounded, and on the right side of the front of the penalty area, Pirlo stepped forward with a tight right foot and hit a ball with no arc.

The ball was held down, neither fast nor slow.

but!

The precision is too strong!

Going over the top of the wall and hitting the upper right corner, Ospina reacted in time and flew away. His fingernails touched, but he still failed to do so.

The ball hit the net.

Right now, the free kick is in a good position, and the shooter has high accuracy. Pirlo's kick is too good.

Zhou Yang knew that the second half would be hard to play. Koscielny would indeed get a yellow card for this goal, but it was also dangerous to put Tevez in the penalty area and face the goal. In any case, they still suffered a loss in defense. Kirkland here Koscielny can only try to reduce the degree of danger as soon as it passes, but Pirlo's free kick is really well-placed and caught.

In the 52nd minute, Juventus opened the situation with a free kick, and the score came to 1-0. Juventus scored the first free kick in the away game and ushered in the scoring point.

"Come on." Rosicky came over to encourage everyone. He hadn't made it that far in Europe for a while.

"Concentrate." Zhou Yang patted Bellerin's shoulder next to him, and the latter nodded to indicate that it was okay.

On the sidelines, Wenger sat on a chair and dragged his chin with both hands. He understood the team's situation. He couldn't say that he had a goal advantage in an away game and was hoarding defense at the Chiefs. Even if Chamberlain was not injured, he would still be here. In this game, Zhou Yang was pushed to the front line to play the starting lineup. Both sides have their weaknesses. Zhou Yang's dominance over Evra is higher than that of Chamberlain. If he can further suppress the offense, Wenger will not start to defend.

Although they are still the ones who are promoted now, the pressure has also appeared.

On the field, the two sides still went back and forth. Juventus scored a free kick and scored a goal, which brought the two sides to an extremely sensitive match point again in an instant.

As long as Juventus score one, Arsenal will be eliminated.

If Arsenal score a goal, then Juventus must fight for the goal to play extra time.

The game slowly came to 60 minutes. When Lichtsteiner was about to cross from the right of Juventus, Kirkland came up and raised the ball to destroy it. Going forward with a cry of pain, he fell to the ground, clutching his calf, his face in pain.

beep!
Kirkland went up to help Vidal, but Morata next to him stopped him.

Sure enough, the referee took out another yellow card and gave it to Kirkland!

"I lifted my foot and knocked down the ball, and there was almost no physical contact with him." Cochran spread his hands, and then shook his body helplessly.

Zhou Yang also went up with everyone to express dissatisfaction.

This yellow card can be given or not. Kirkland has committed a lot of fouls, and Vidal has too much experience. The referee must think that Vidal was overly violated in this foul, so he drew the card.

Wenger finally stood up from his chair and protested to the lineman next to him, saying that this should not be a yellow card, and Vidal would not fall to the ground after such a small contact.

"Stop." The linesman signaled him to be silent, "Corcoran touched it."

"Is it normal to have contact? I mean Vidal's fall is unreasonable."

"Arsene, please be quiet." The referee rejoined the game.

The two sides are still investing in offense and defense on the court.

In the opening 15 minutes, the defensive pressure visible to the naked eye was even greater. Not to mention Juventus scored a free kick, they also got two yellow cards on the back line.

In the 64th minute of the game, Zhou Yang received a pass from Rosicky. He looked up and saw the situation. He kicked the ball cleanly with his right foot and made a dispatch to Sanchez on the left. After Sanchez stopped the ball in his chest, Lichtsteiner followed Jin knocked down Sanchez with a tackle from the side, and also received a yellow card.

In addition to Vidal's yellow card at the end of the first half, the two sides had a total of 20 yellow gem cards in 4 minutes.

However, although there were many fouls, each of them still had a certain calmness.

Sky Sports Live.

"Another yellow card."

"If Zhou Yang can attack alone, he will go forward. If he has no chance, he will try to transfer the ball to Sanchez."

"In this game, Lichtsteiner invested a lot in offense, and he needed to run back and forth non-stop when defending. This is a problem with 352. You have to run back and forth when you attack from the wing. Zhou Yang is transferred to Sanchez from time to time. The right side with a lot of defensive energy is even more exhausted."

"Lichtsteiner's performance in this game is still good, but Arsenal's midfielders and Zhou Yang's scheduling is not bad. Juventus has suffered a lot. Don't say it, the further you go, the more yellow cards you get. The more you have, the greater the defensive pressure will be.”

There are nearly 30 minutes left in the game.

The total number of goals scored by the two sides was 2 to 2. Arsenal temporarily kept their place in the semi-finals with the advantage of away goals.

The game was as tight as ever, and the match between the two sides was hot.

At the Emirates Stadium, Zhou Yang followed up the team's offensive and defensive transitions, still calm and orderly.
