Strong Waist

When referees face any controversial penalty, they are under great pressure.

Observed from the perspective of a black whistle, this is enough to cause great changes in their careers.

Those famous tragedies in football are clear examples.

Norwegian referee Herning, who created the Stamford Bridge tragedy, is still receiving death threats from Chelsea fanatic fans, and an interest group titled "Kill Herning" is still active.

This also makes Norwegian referees afraid to set foot in London or even England!

During the game, players can put pressure on the referee to pay attention to the timing of the whistle. As long as their attitude is not too bad, the referee will not make any penalties for this.

Especially when facing star players like Lucky, the cost of 'blowing the whistle' is obviously higher.

And the referee also felt that the game was moving out of control.

Faced with Dortmund's aggression, Arsenal has begun to counterattack.

Especially after Lucky's move, the eyes of the Arsenal players began to change.

This is the role of the leader!

Lucky compromised before, so Arsenal avoided it to a certain extent.

But now that Lucky has become tougher, Arsenal will play even tougher!

Beep! ! !

After six minutes, Arsenal got a free kick in the frontcourt.

This is the principle of balance and gives Arsenal some comfort.

Arsenal is also relatively satisfied with this. Although the position of this set piece is not particularly good, it is also an opportunity to attack.

"The referee's penalties began to become more severe. Obviously the referee also realized that the game was on the verge of getting out of control, and he had to stop this situation from happening."

"Dortmund needs to restrain some moves, and Robertson takes the penalty for Arsenal's set kick this time!"

Arsenal players walked into Dortmund's penalty area, preparing for a header.

Lucky stood on the line of the penalty area, and Shaheen kept an eye on him.

Lucky didn't know why this guy was targeting him, but to be honest, Lucky was confident and this guy couldn't stop him.

The whistle sounded and Robertson kicked off the ball with a big kick.

The ball flew high into the Dortmund penalty area.

Suddenly, Dortmund's penalty area became chaotic.

Arsenal players rushed to various positions like a goddess scattering flowers. Among them, Lucky and Lukaku ran directly to the center.

The two are Arsenal's most advantageous header points, so their main task is to control the first landing point.

Lukaku opened the way like a tank, and Lucky used Lukaku as a detour point to bypass Dortmund's defense and take off.

At this time, the ball just flew towards him.

Lucky jumped sideways, and he saw that the goalkeeper also moved a few steps forward to block Lucky's shot from the near corner.

For this reason, Lucky did not choose to head the ball directly towards the goal. Instead, he twisted his waist in the air to complete the turn, leaned back slightly and tipped the ball to Wilshere behind him.

Wilshere met the falling ball and lightly touched it with his left foot. The ball just avoided the Dortmund full-back's leg sweep. At the same time, Wilshere stepped forward to adjust and volleyed directly sideways to meet the falling ball.

The ball flew diagonally downward to the left, suddenly hit Lukaku's ankle, refracted, and flew to the right.

At this time, Dortmund's goalkeeper had shifted his center of gravity to the left. He wanted to forcefully shift his center of gravity, but was unable to attack quickly.

He could only weaken his feet, turn his head and watch the ball go into the goal.

“Goooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!!!”

"One more!!!"

"Wilshere no!! Lukaku!! Score two goals!!! Second goal!!!"

Since the ball hit Lukaku's feet and entered the goal, the goal was considered Lukaku's.

Lukaku was also filled with joy when faced with the sudden surprise.

He just failed to dodge, but unexpectedly he scored!

"Oh!! Lucky guy!!"

Mourinho laughed heartily.

Either way, Arsenal scored.

And if Lukaku hadn't been standing there, Wilshere's shot might have been saved.

Giroud on the bench grinned slightly.

In fact, Lukaku has scored this kind of goal not once or twice.

There are a lot of competitions, and even more during training.

I don’t know if this guy stood there intentionally, or if he was just lucky.

Anyway, the ball can always hit the opponent and bounce into the goal.

For this reason, Arsenal will not let Lukaku back when facing corner kicks.

This guy is a variable, whether it's the opponent or one's own side.

In the first half, Arsenal scored two goals.

This score made everyone feel unbelievable.

Did Dortmund play poorly?

There is indeed some factor in this aspect, but the key is that Arsenal is too good at seizing opportunities.

Especially for the second goal, Lucky's choice during the aerial challenge was also crucial.

If you directly head the ball towards the goal, the possibility of scoring is not very high. The goalkeeper is already in position and has blocked the shooting angle.

Lucky obviously saw this, so he directly played the ball to Wilshere behind him.

Wilshere also lived up to Lucky's expectations. He avoided the opponent's sweep with a beautiful pass, and then volleyed in one go.

In the 35th minute, Arsenal already led by two goals.

The balance of victory has begun to tip towards Arsenal!

Dortmund was even more confused at this time.

It was already hard enough after conceding a goal, but now we have conceded a second goal.

The scene was completely tilted towards Arsenal.

Moreover, facing Arsenal's toughness on the field and ability to seize opportunities, Dortmund was obviously unable to withstand it.

Falling behind by two goals in the first half, Dortmund's head coach Bosz could no longer tolerate it.

At 37 minutes, he made a substitution.

Weigel and Dahoud enter the game.

Shaheen and Torian ended.

Dortmund removed a defensive midfielder and full-back to strengthen their attack.

At the same time, head coach Boss hopes to use young player Dahoud's agility and dribbling ability to help the team stabilize the rhythm of the midfield and sort out the offense.

Bosch's idea was good, but reality did not go in this direction.

After Shaheen came off the field, the intensity of Dortmund's midfield dropped.

Arsenal is taking advantage of this to continue to enhance their dominance in the midfield.

Although Dahoud, who was just on the field, has good dribbling and breakthrough abilities, and his skills are well balanced in all aspects, he still couldn't resist Arsenal's midfielder.

Until the end of the first half, although Dortmund did not concede a goal, it was still in an extremely disadvantageous situation.

This also led to head coach Boss walking into the locker room with a black face after the first half.

Obviously, Dortmund's players will definitely not fall behind well.

Arsenal's players also returned to the locker room. Hummels couldn't help but shake his head and sighed; "Their midfield is not strong enough, Royce is not here, and the overall game is too scattered!"

Royce is definitely the core player to integrate the current Dortmund team.

However, Royce's glass-like attributes have caused him to be injured frequently, and he is still recovering from his injuries.

After Dortmund lost Reus, the midfield became chaotic.

And Arsenal happens to be a team that is good at attacking and defending with the midfield as its core.

When Lucky and others took control of the midfield, the game became much easier.

Of course, Arsenal's first goal is crucial, which is one of the reasons why Arsenal can play so easily.

Lukaku sat on the chair with a smile.

'I'm very happy' is written all over his face.

After scoring two goals in the first half, Lukaku was instantly satisfied.

Before, it was life and death without scoring, but now one goal is scored and two are scored.

Although there was an element of luck in the second goal, who dares to say that he didn't score it himself?

Luck is also part of strength.

"Okay, boys, take advantage of the halftime break to recover and continue with the second half!"

The stereotypical Mourinho also had a smile on his face.

Faced with Arsenal's outstanding performance, Mourinho is also extremely satisfied.

Now with a two-goal lead, he will not make substitutions or change tactics.

When the time comes in the second half, slowly make substitutions and make tactical changes.

Today's Arsenal has obviously kicked away.

They just need to avoid the possibility of injury.

For this reason, Mourinho also specially reminded them to take more protective actions.
