Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 1122 Completely Shattered!

When Karius kicked the ball forward with a big kick, he thought that the danger could temporarily stay away from Arsenal's goal. His idea was completely wrong.

When the football flew to the front court and was controlled by Coulibaly, Firmino immediately went up to grab it, but Coulibaly sent a through pass directly.

Eriksson knocked the ball back diagonally to Robertson in the frontcourt, who then kicked the ball straight.

Sane controls the ball in the front of the penalty area, Eriksson advances in the middle, Milner assists in the defense, Ramsey goes to mark Eriksson, Sane makes a gesture to cut the ball across the front of the penalty area, and takes two steps with the ball When he was about to confront Milner head-on in the end, Sane knocked the ball back diagonally to Casemiro who followed up.

Casemiro smashed the ball to the center of the penalty area. Wijnaldum had to move to the front of Casemiro to intercept, but at this time Casemiro calmly passed the ball to the front of the penalty area. The right-hand area in front of the restricted area.

With much attention under the spotlight, Mbappe made a quick inward cut and seemed to be waving the ball directly into the penalty area. Arsenal's defense immediately moved towards the penalty area. Lovren cautiously faced Mbappe outside the penalty area. Will be scored directly by the opponent and break through the defense line!
But no one thought that Mbappe would kick the ball and shoot directly!

A cold shot blasted the ball towards the middle of Arsenal's goal.

Although the ball is powerful and fast, the angle is not tricky after all, it is a bit erratic at best, but it is also in a small range!

All spectators at the Kyiv Olympic National Stadium locked their eyes on Karius. Facing Mbappe's shot, Karius moved to the front but failed to hug the football!

He tried to take the ball directly into his arms, but the slightly erratic football hit the center of his palm and bounced back!

The football bounced in the small penalty area. When Karius stepped forward to make a save, a figure was the first to kill him. The scene that caught Karius almost collapsed!

Lewandowski took the lead and sent the ball into the middle right of the goal. The moment the football rolled past Karius, Karius felt his heartstrings suddenly break!

Lewandowski immediately turned his head and looked at the moment he broke the goal. The linesman did not raise the flag to signal him offside!

Lewandowski turned around and rushed to the sidelines, jumped high, raised his right fist and waved his arms!
The Arsenal fans in the stands are desperate!
Many people turned their heads away and dared not look any further!
Klopp is not as shocked as before, but the expression on his face is full of bitterness!

The Arsenal bench was silent, both the coach and the players were stunned!
"OMG! Karius makes a save! Lewandowski scores!

Although Mbappe's shot is extremely fast, the angle is not tricky to be honest. Karius only needs to move one step, then hug the ball or hit the ball directly, but he missed it!
Lewandowski seized the opportunity to help Liverpool rewrite the score to 3:1!

The situation of the game is really changing too fast, and it is indeed unexpected!

Everyone at Arsenal should understand that in the Champions League final stage, any goal or conceded goal is crucial!
But because of a goalkeeper error, they have already conceded two goals!

Now Arsenal are two goals behind Liverpool, I think this is definitely very, very favorable for Liverpool!
It is no exaggeration to say that in the history of European wars, Situ Yunbing's team led by two goals and has never lost!

And Arsenal's crisis will only get bigger!
Because Karius made a series of mistakes, his mentality must have been greatly affected, I think. He is no longer suitable for this game!
Klopp should be replaced, otherwise Arsenal will only lose worse! "

Situ Yunbing looked around the stands from the sidelines. The Red Army fans were ecstatically celebrating, but the Gunners fans were already full of sadness.

At this moment, Karius' expression on the court was almost crying!
The pressure was too great, one mistake was followed by another, and the team even conceded two goals was directly related to him!

He ruined the team's hard work all season!

This is also the reason why Situ Yunbing thought that this is not the strongest Arsenal before the game. If Klopp is given another year or two, his team will be stronger.

It's not that Karius is expected to make mistakes, but that the giants in European football are all pursuing top players, because after countless games and experience accumulation, top players are more certain!
If all 11 players are just first-tier stars, this team will be very strong, but there will definitely be unstable factors!

It is not unreasonable for the giants to pursue top stars. No one wants to have unstable factors in a team that aims to stand at the pinnacle of European football.

Now Klopp is really caught in a dilemma.

Reason told him that he had to change, and it was the goalkeeper!

It is impossible for Karius' performance to improve!

He will only give Liverpool more chances to score!

But emotion tells him that if he changes now, Karius' career will definitely undergo a huge turning point, from a rising period to a straight decline!
In the Champions League final, halftime was not over, and he was replaced because of two fatal mistakes? !

This has never happened in the history of the Champions League for more than half a century!
It will definitely shatter a player's confidence and vision for the future!
Klopp is naturally a talent-loving person, and now he can only give Karius another 10 minutes, and must be replaced after the first half!

Maybe he doesn't know the difference between the current substitution and the halftime substitution on Karius. It may be very large, or it may be insignificant.

But if Karius is replaced now, Karius may collapse on the spot.

The Arsenal generals were in a state of disarray. They seemed to be fighting the enemy on the front line. They didn't feel that it was a life-and-death moment in the confrontation. They didn't expect that the backyard caught fire and the nest was gone!

The Liverpool generals continue to prepare to take advantage of the victory to pursue!
Situ Yunbing gestured to them on the sidelines to keep them focused and not to be slack or careless.

Arsenal kicked off, and their current thinking can no longer guarantee unity.

Because compared to attacking Liverpool's defense, their own defense is obviously more important, especially this is not just a conventional defense, but also needs to work hard to contain all Liverpool's shots!

Yes, everyone now has a hunch in their hearts: as long as Liverpool shoots, there is a high probability of turning into a goal!
In the 36th minute of the game, Arsenal made a fast break in the frontcourt. Firmino passed the ball diagonally to Mane under the pressure of Kante. Play!
Obviously a little anxious.

The football flew directly into the stands!
Liverpool patiently organized the offensive from the backcourt. In the 38th minute of the game, when Sane cut the ball in from the left side of the frontcourt, Arsenal's defense line had shrunk to the extreme!
They don't care about outside defense at this time, they can only block their own goal as much as possible!
Klopp's heart was bleeding when he saw this scene!

Chaos!

Arsenal are in disarray!

There is no way to talk about how to restrain the opponent, they themselves have become a mess!

Just because the goalkeeper has a problem with this point, it is simply being pulled from the bottom by the opponent!
Sane crossed to the front left of the penalty area and just volleyed, Milner's shovel cleared the ball out of the sideline.

Arsenal is indeed using human flesh to stop Liverpool from completing the shot.

Of course, Liverpool will not shoot long shots 30 yards away from the goal outrageously, so it would be a bit of an empty goal for Arsenal!

Two minutes later, Liverpool shifted their offense to the right. After passing the offensive in the frontcourt, Mbappe created a long-range shot for Arnold on the right, but Arnold's long-range shot was blocked by Wijnaldum with his body!

Originally, this might be a good opportunity for Arsenal to counterattack, but because the overall formation was too late, Firmino was forced from behind by Van Dijk the moment he took possession of the ball. Firmino couldn't find a suitable one. The passing line, after dribbling one step back, was countered by Kanter.

Under the attack of the two, Firmino still lost the ball.

Gunners fans in the stands of the Olympic National Stadium in Kiev were particularly disappointed.

Arsenal's current performance at this stage seems to be really hopeless!

Seeing that the first half of the game is coming to an end, Liverpool is still maintaining a high-pressure attack posture.

Arsenal focused on blocking Liverpool's space for long-range shots in front of the penalty area, which required the full-backs to shrink into the penalty area, while the midfield line also retreated to the front of the penalty area, and they had to maintain close contact.

After Liverpool advanced to the offensive danger zone, Eriksson held the ball in the middle, and Firmino rushed behind him to press. At this time, he sent the ball to the right.

Mbappe turned into the inside track immediately after possession of the ball. When Wijnaldum and Chambers flanked him to close the goal at the same time, Mbappe made a Marseille maneuver in the waving ball, but he was in When he pulled the ball for the last time, he pulled the ball back to the baseline!
I saw Arnold quickly followed up around the outside line and cut inside and entered the Arsenal penalty area!
Chambers turned around and immediately rushed to make a steal. Arnold kicked the ball back to the inside before the baseline, and then continued to pass the ball towards the goal. Lovren immediately returned to block his pass to the goal to avoid being caught by Lewando. Fowski outflanks and grabs points to complete the goal!
Arnold smashed the ball to the right rib area of ​​​​the penalty area when Lovren was about to hit the bottom line, intending to find an angle to pass the ball to the teammate who inserted behind.

But just as he was turning around after completing the spiking action, someone stretched out his legs from behind and knocked him to the ground!
Arnold fell to the ground, and Wijnaldum, who was defending back into the penalty area, made a big foot clearance and went out of the sideline.

Just listening to the referee's whistle at this time made the nerves of all Arsenal players tense.

Everyone looked at the referee, and under the eyes of everyone, the referee pointed to the position of the penalty spot in the penalty area of ​​Arsenal and clearly awarded a penalty!
