Football: The Hand that Covers the Sky

Chapter 330: Second round contest

   Arsenal are now holding an away goal, in addition to the second round will be held at Arsenal's home stadium, Emirates Stadium, the so-called home advantage in the Champions League is mixed.

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

   Arsenal must be more careful in the second leg, 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 make no mistakes, there is little suspense about the ownership of the champion.

   So Arsenal can focus more on the Champions League in the subsequent games, but this requires a premise, that is, Arsenal can pass Juventus first.

   The Champions League knockout matches are more favorable to the current Arsenal. Arsenal's lead in the league is large enough, and the Champions League matches are in the middle of the league. Arsenal must make no mistakes.

   Arsenal have 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 are giants, but Arsenal's status as a giant has been criticized. The biggest reason is that Arsenal lacks the honor of the Champions League.

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

   The Russian oligarchs led Chelsea to set off a gold dollar storm, but even if Chelsea defended the league title, and has been the most powerful contender for the league title, it was only called a pseudo-rich. This situation did not change until Chelsea won the Champions League.

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

   On the morning of March 18th, Allegri brought Juventus players to London as expected. At the moment Allegri walked out a few games, countless media flocked to the Juventus coach.

   Just before the Champions League match, Juventus midfielder Pirlo was injured. Allegri originally wanted to let Pirlo play halftime, but Pirlo was injured in the first half and was forced to replace.

   Although Pirlo is thirty-four years old, the veteran has maintained a very good state. He is very important in Juventus tactics. He is the metronome of the team and the initiator of the attack.

   Faced with these reporters swarming in, Allegri would naturally not tell the truth, and Pirlo would not tell the truth, so these waiting media could not get the answers they wanted.

   But this is not important, because the media knows that they will not get the real answer. They only need to report this matter. The real troubles are Wenger and Arsenal.

   Wenger is indeed worried about this issue, but in fact, Pirlo's appearance will have no effect on Arsenal's lineup. As for tactics, it is even more impossible, because Arsenal has only one core this season.

   It is not so much that Wenger is worried about whether Pirlo will be on the stage, but that Wenger is thinking about what tactics Allegri will use to play the second round.

   In fact, compared with the first round, Juventus's starting lineup only made two changes. The striker Tevez replaced Llorente, and the midfielder Pereira got injured 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.

   "The lineups of both sides have not changed much" The game officially started under the whistle from Serbia referee Mazić.

   Although Juventus played away games, they chose the opening ball. This is also a helpless move. Juventus is currently behind in the score and he must score as soon as possible, otherwise it is likely to be dragged to death by Arsenal.

   Arsenal need to withstand Juventus's opening attack, as long as it withstands, then with the passage of time, the advantage will slowly transfer to Arsenal.

The first wave of Juventus offensive was initiated from the left. After a few passes, Evra inserted at high speed, but when Evra received the pass, Ramsey shot a flying shovel from the side to destroy the ball. Out of the sideline.

Ramsey would never have thought that his foot damage 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 Koscielny’s defense, Mora The tower never turned around.

   And at this moment, Tevez suddenly withdrew, Mertesacker reacted a step slower, and then the burden brought by the tall German central defender, Tevez's position was completely empty.

   Morata immediately knocked across the kick 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 shot.

   In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you look at the goal and Li Shou’s position, because Tevez has already decided on the angle and position of his shot, and he really did.

   "Dead corner~~~ the ball~~~ did not score~~~ Li~~~ Li Fei blocked Tevez’s shot, a wonderful face-off." Tevez shot the ball straight into the upper left corner of the goal.

"Tevez's shot was amazing. He shot a shot straight to the dead corner without looking at the goal. But Li's save was even more exciting." The moment when Tevez started Li Shou moved a step laterally, and this step finally allowed Li Shou to arrive and block the ball before it crossed the goal line.

   Anticipation, reaction coupled with 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 go to watch Li Shou, and it was completely based on his feelings, but even then he could not get past Li Shou. Ten fingers off.

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

Juventus’s offense is not over yet. Pereira takes a corner kick and Pogba fights for the first spot in the penalty area. The French midfielder is 191 in height, but the header is not what he is good at, so Pogba There is no threat to this header.

In the offensive and defensive transition, Li Shou sent the ball to Monreal. The latter found Griezmann. Griezmann was also destroyed while holding the ball along the wing, but Arsenal did not rely on it. What kind of threat this out-of-bounds opportunity created, the ball was cleared by Bonucci when it was thrown at Giroud.

   The right to the ball returned to Juventus, and after a pass, it entered the Arsenal half again. In the end, Pogba shot a long shot which was directly confiscated by Li Shouqi.
