Chapter 89 If you fail to steal the chicken, you will lose the rice (page 12)
Arsenal missed two consecutive shots, which was a devastating blow to their morale.
In turn, Bayern's morale was high and they gradually took control of the situation after the game restarted.
First, Bastian Schweinsteiger kicked the ball in front of the penalty area and was confiscated by Martinez.
Immediately afterwards, Muller made a through ball from the front of the penalty area. Mandzukic shot a low shot near the penalty spot and hit the ankle of his brother Robben.
Later, Robben redeemed himself. After passing through three people in a row, he cut inside the penalty area and shot into the far corner ten meters away from the goal.
The quality of this kick is extremely high, and it is in the shape of a long "S" arc. The goalkeeper is usually helpless against this kind of anti-physics ball.
But Martinez has the "goalkeeper" gene, although he is still a seedling at this time.
He jumped towards the upper left corner, and instead of holding the ball with his hands to lift it over the crossbar, he was stingy as hell, not wanting his opponent to get even a corner kick, and holding the ball in the air with both hands.
This kind of anti-physics ball and the rotation force of football are very strong. Martinez did not hug it at the first time and let it go.
There was a tremor in front of Arsenal's goal. Fortunately, Martinez's second reaction was quick enough to grab the football again before Mandzukic stretched his leg.
On the sidelines of the court, Wenger buried his face deeply in his hands again, feeling tired!
Martinez, Xia Qi, Balotelli, De Bruyne...all are talented, but they are all a bit abnormal.
I miss Cesc Fabregas, ahem, it’s better to have these problem boys, at least they will only scare people and won’t stab people in the back...
On the court, this series of offensives shows that Bayern has regained its advantage.
Bayern is lagging behind in the score, but Bayern is dominant in the situation.
If it were Mourinho or Sir Alex Ferguson, he would have immediately replaced him at this time and tried to take action before the situation got worse. However, Wenger's on-the-spot command ability was a bit frayed and did not change because of Xia Qi's appearance. He is still the same The Wenger we are familiar with.
He sat as steady as a rock in the coaching bench, holding his chin with one hand, quietly watching Bayern press Arsenal to the ground and rub it again and again.
Before we knew it, the time came to the 75th minute.
Bayern launched a fast break, and Robben and Lahm played wonderful cooperation on the right side of the pitch. Robben once again penetrated the left side of Arsenal, facing the two central defenders, and knocked the ball with his heel.
Ram, who was inserted at the back point, received the ball and made a fake shot. The football was passed to the left side of the goal. Muller pulled off Aurier and kicked the football to the center.
The attack from right to left dazzled Arsenal's back line and made them feel a little dizzy.
Mandzukic took advantage of his fainting to make him sick. When the Arsenal defender was confused, he broke out from the crowd and fired a low shot.
Martinez was confused by Erwa Muller's single shot and did not return to the right side of the goal immediately.
What Mandzukic faced was actually an empty goal.
"Robben passed Cazorla and once again penetrated Arsenal's left flank."
"Cazorla can't keep up with Robben. Arsenal still have to let Xia Qi come back to defend Robben."
"Otherwise...Robben's back-heel pass! Beautiful!"
"Shoot!"
"no!"
"Ram, who was following behind, faked a real shot!"
"Mueller singled out Martinez!"
“Martinez moves so fast at the goal line.”
"Pass the ball!"
"Mueller did not shoot the ball alone, but chose to pass to the middle."
"Shoot!"
"The ball is in!"
"Mandzukic scored Bayern's second goal, rewriting the score to 2:3. Bayern was only one goal behind."
"Arsenal still has to find a way to limit Robben, otherwise they will be too passive."
There was another seismic celebration scene at the Allianz Arena.
[Why is Mueller not shooting tonight? 】
[Should we let Xia Qi come back? I was frightened to watch. 】
[I feel sorry for Xia Qi for three seconds, but he gets one salary and does two jobs. 】
Wenger then remembered to stabilize the "military morale." While he ordered De Bruyne to warm up, he shouted to the players to calm down.
He called the players' names, and when he turned to look over, Wenger pointed to his temples and pressed down with both hands.
This is a "don't be hot-headed, stay calm" body language.
"Yes, Arsenal are still in the lead now, there is no need to panic."
After Zhang Lu saw Wenger's actions, he affirmed. At the same time, they saw De Bruyne warming up. He did not understand Wenger's intention of substitution.
"De Bruyne is warming up, and Wenger is about to make a substitution. Arsenal's current problem is that Robben has beaten him on the left. Defense is not De Bruyne's strong point. Does Wenger want to use offense instead of defense?"
Zhang Lu made a wild guess and got it right.
When experts think about defense, they usually don't just think about defense. Wenger not only wants to win the game, but also wants to get more first starts.
Using Xia chess to exchange pieces is a bad move.
After a dead ball on the pitch, De Bruyne came on to replace Wilshere.
Wilshere didn't show his temper this time. When he clapped with De Bruyne, he said: "We need to score another goal. A one-goal lead is not safe. We are at home..."
When Wilshere said this, he winked at De Bruyne with his right eye. You know what he means.
Arsenal is very interesting. Most teams are dragons at home and insects on the road. Arsenal is the opposite. Their away record is higher than their home record. This did not change until Xia Qi joined.
De Bruyne nodded expressionlessly and ran towards the court.
Wilshere was thoughtful after the game, thinking: Are all capable people so cool? Xia Qi is like this, Balotelli and De Bruyne are like this, Assen. As a member of F4, I can’t be special. I will also be cool on the court from now on...
After De Bruyne came on the field, he brought Wenger's new instructions to his teammates. The teammates began to calm down and actively compete with Bayern.
Bayern is Arsenal's bitter enemy, and fighting against Bayern does not require mobilization.
Bayern was one goal behind at home and could not give in. The two sides played a wonderful attack in the final seconds.
The young De Bruyne is no more organized than Wilshere, but he is better at being able to make deflections and is extremely sharp.
Often it is a fatal delivery as soon as it is unsheathed.
It's a pity that Balotelli, Walcott's cooperation with him was still a bit poor. He was not a good rider and failed to seize the opportunity.
Xia Qi, a good rider, was tightly guarded by Bayern defenders and failed to cooperate with De Bruyne.
Time flies,
After a few rounds, it was the 80th minute.
In other words, there are only ten minutes left for Bayern.
If they fail to score a goal in these ten minutes, they will fall behind 2:3 in the first round. Of course, Bayern will not be satisfied with such a score.
And Arsenal is not satisfied either!
They were afraid of being eliminated by Bayern. They were only leading by one goal, and they always felt that it was not safe.
In short, fans, players and coaches on both sides are very nervous and unhappy with themselves.
