"We can't get in at all with our attack!"
During the halftime break, in the locker room, Walcott shouted, "Our attack is too soft, we can't break through their defense!"
"The forward line doesn't get enough support, so we can only retreat and ask for the ball, but in this case, Bayern has already set up their turtle shell in their penalty area!" Podolski said anxiously.
Podolski once played for Bayern Munich, but was eventually abandoned because he could not adapt to Bayern's way of playing.
Therefore, in this game, he was eager to prove himself.
But the midfield couldn't give them enough support!
Suarez also raised his hand and said: "We need more support!"
Wenger looked at everyone and nodded, "I will make adjustments in the second half!"
After saying that, he walked up to Lucky and said, "Come out with me!"
Lucky looked at the professor in surprise, then stood up and followed him out of the locker room.
At the door, Wenger looked at Lucky seriously and said, "If I release you from the left wing, how confident are you that you can get the ball?"
Lekai pursed his lips and said, "It's not a question of control, but if I am freed from the left wing, then we should be able to play better ."
Wenger said, "Tell me what you think."
Lucky nodded and said, "The entire first half showed that the Germans wanted to use Kroos to coordinate the frontcourt. His ability is unquestionable, but there is a key problem in passing the ball."
"What's the problem?" Wenger asked.
Lucky scratched his head; "I don't know if it's my illusion, but Kroos does tend to pass the ball to the left more often. Sometimes, even when Muller is in a better position, he will still pass it to Robben on the left wing."
Wenger hesitated for a moment and said, "He trusts Robben more?"
"No!" Lucky shook his head; "He should be more afraid of Robben. Bayern's frontcourt gives me a feeling of fighting for the ball. Although this feeling is very weak, I can be sure that Robben wants more ball possession."
"so what?"
Lekai pursed his lips and said, "It's difficult to steal the ball from Robben, but think about it from another angle, what if it's an interception?"
"I can intercept the ball that Kroos passes to Robben. At this time, Bayern is in an offensive state and the formation is pressing towards us. By stealing the ball at a critical stage, we can play a faster counterattack, just like at the beginning of the game."
Lucky added: "It's easier for me to play behind Kroos than behind Robben, and it's more effective."
Wenger nodded and said, "Okay, in the second half, you don't have to watch Robben play. Just like before, you have to judge the timing of the attack by yourself."
Hearing this, Lekai slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
After returning to the locker room, Wenger walked towards Vermaelen and Koscielny, apparently arranging for the two to defend Robben after Lukay's attack.
Lekai could see that Vermaelen and Koscielny's faces instantly turned bitter.
In the first half, Lekai helped them to shield themselves from the wind and rain in the front, and they played quite comfortably.
But in the second half, the two felt terrified when they thought about facing Robben's repeated attacks.
On the other side, in the locker room of Bayern Munich.
Robben sat on the bench without saying a word.
Robben played very depressingly throughout the first half.
That Arsenal No. 4 gave him the worst feeling he had ever had.
"Hey!"
Kroos came over, patted Robben on the shoulder and said, "Don't mind your performance in the first half. I will give you more support in the second half."
Hearing this, Robben's expression became much better.
"Pass the ball to me as many times as possible, I will break through that Arsenal number 4!"
Cross nodded and said, "As for Muller..."
"Don't worry about him. In the second half, you must give me more balls!" Robben said firmly.
"good!"
Thinking of the iron rod in Robben's locker, Kroos nodded.
…
After the half-time break, the two sides changed sides and started the second half.
Lucky still appeared opposite Robben.
Robben looked at Lucky from a distance, smiled slightly, and made a shooting gesture.
'I'll get past you, little one!'
Lucky is more direct.
'Hetui!'
Sina Sports Champions League live broadcast room.
"In the first half, Bayern Munich scored a goal against Arsenal with a long-range shot by Lahm in the 43rd minute. Arsenal, playing at home, fell behind by one goal. In the second half, there was no change in the lineups of both teams," said Zhan Jun.
Coach Zhang Lu continued: "Bayern Munich's offensive diversity makes it difficult for Arsenal to let go. Considering Bayern Munich's offense, their goals are not only scored by the front line, but also by the midfielders and defenders. Arsenal's playing style in this game was too monotonous, but there is no way. Without Arteta and Cazorla, Arsenal has great defects in the linkage between the midfield and the frontcourt."
"Rosicky's return made up for this to a certain extent, but after the injury, Rosicky's condition was obviously not so hot, and he did not play an eye-catching performance in this game."
"So now the pressure is on Arsenal again. How to make a choice? Who will be the key man? This is an extremely acute problem."
Zhang Lu's analysis is extremely thorough.
Arsenal are missing a key player.
Arsenal had a higher possession rate in the first half, but had almost no chances to score.
There were 5 shots in the first half, 2 of which hit the goal frame. This shooting efficiency told everyone that although Arsenal controlled the ball, they were unable to break into the opponent's penalty area and tear open the defense.
On the court, Luka was staring at Kroos, trying to do something to him.
At the same time he was also staring at Robben.
Lucky and Robben still kept a distance of one meter. Every time Robben tried to get rid of him, Lucky would always block him, which made Robben very annoyed.
At this moment, Lekai was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then trotted directly towards Robben.
Robben: “???”
Running in front of me? What kind of defense is that?
Just when he was wondering, a cry of "Ah" was suddenly heard.
Muller was knocked down by Rosicky and Ramsey, and he screamed and raised his hands to indicate a foul.
But the referee put his hands forward, indicating that the game should continue.
Seeing this scene, Rosicky naturally didn't care anymore. Just as he was about to start, a loud shout came from not far away.
"Give me!!!--"
Rosicky turned his head and found that Lucky appeared in front of the left center circle, raising his hand to ask for the ball.
Rosicky passed the ball to Lekai without any hesitation.
Lekai looked at the ball that was passed horizontally, his eyes shaking towards the empty space on the right.
Walcott also began to make a move.
Apparently, both of them saw it.
Lekai turned sideways, faced the ball, bent his bow and drew his arrow, and made a long pass.
The moment Luka passed the ball, Walcott started instantly like a cheetah.
The powerful explosive force lifted up the grass clippings on the ground and rushed straight towards the open space.
In a moment, Walcott surpassed Lahm.
When he looked up, the ball was just above his head.
The ball landed and bounced in front.
This ball was kicked in advance, so Walcott didn't need to slow down at all. He used his head to head the ball in mid-air and immediately cut inside and rushed towards the penalty area.
At this time, Neuer was also rushing towards the ball.
But Walcott was faster and broke into the penalty area and made another move.
Neuer's face changed drastically, and in desperation, he threw his body out.
ah!!!!!
Walcott screamed and fell to the ground.
"Muller takes the ball and moves towards the center circle. Rosicky and Ramsey double-team him. Great! Steal! Counterattack!! Rosicky passes the ball. Kai!! Long pass!!! Walcott!!! One-on-one chance!!! Neuer saves the ball!!"
George Adams paused for a moment, then stood up and shouted angrily, "Penalty!!! Penalty!!! It's a penalty!!!"
"The goalkeeper ran into the attacker, Walcott dribbled the ball away, but Neuer tripped him!!! Penalty!! Definitely a penalty!!"
At the same time, Wenger stood up angrily and rushed towards the fourth official.
The attitude seemed to say, 'If you don't give me a penalty, you'll all die here!'
During the match, Luka, Rosicky, Robben and others rushed to the referee to appeal.
In this era when VAR has not yet been introduced, everything depends on the referee's decision.
Faced with the heated words from both sides, the referee dismissed everyone and asked the linesman via the intercom.
I don't know what he said, but in the end the referee slowly ran towards the penalty area of ​​Bayern Munich, showed Neuer a yellow card, then pointed to the penalty spot and blew the whistle!
Penalty! !——
"pretty!!!"
Everyone at Arsenal was excited.
This was the best moment to equalize the score.
The Arsenal players stood outside the penalty area and began to select the penalty takers.
That’s right, choose!
Arsenal's first penalty taker was Cazorla, who was lying on his hospital bed.
Arsenal's second penalty taker was Arteta, who was also in the hospital bed.
Rosicky's condition was unstable and he lacked confidence in his free throws.
Walcott said his feet were numb from the collision and also refused.
Finally, everyone's eyes turned to Ramsey.
Ramsey shook his head: "You don't want me to play!"
Hearing this, everyone was speechless.
Finally, everyone turned their eyes to Lucky.
Yes, Lucky has the ability to take penalty kicks.
"Okay! I'll do it!" Lucky took a deep breath.
A penalty kick is an opportunity, but also a pressure.
Finally, Lekai walked into the penalty area with the ball.
"Is Kyle taking the free throw?" Sky Sports commentator Paul Mosson looked surprised.
Dixon also started looking through the information and found that Lucky had never had a record of penalty kicks.
The two looked at each other.
Lekai walked into the penalty area with the ball, wiped the ball with his jersey, placed it on the penalty spot, then straightened up, exhaled slowly, and looked directly at Neuer.
Neuer was jumping back and forth, and he said in a contemptuous tone;
"Hey! Kid, let me guess which side you're going to kick, left or right? I've seen through you! That's right! I'll jump out!"
This guy is putting pressure on Lucky.
Neuer was still moving left and right, constantly provoking.
"So, you decide which way to kick? But no matter which way you kick, I will rush out..."
Lucky was so angry that he directly fought back.
“I kick the spoon!”
After saying that, both of them were stunned.
Neuer: “…”
Lucky: “…”
He kicked the spoon?
I kicked the spoon?
The two looked at each other and then separated immediately.
Neuer thought to himself: "Shit! This guy is lying to me!"
Lucky cursed inwardly: "Damn it! You spoke too quickly!"
At this time, the referee had already started to walk out of the penalty area.
Lucky also lowered his head and retreated.
Neuer looked at Lucky intently, his head full of "spoon, spoon, spoon".
Lucky was retreating, his mind also filled with "spoon, spoon, spoon".
At the same time, everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them.
For some reason, they felt that each other's expressions were a little flustered.
Especially when the referee put the whistle to his lips, the expressions of both of them became a little stiff.
Neuer: Damn spoon, he is lying!
Lucky: Damn it! Just kick the spoon!
Beep !!!
The whistle sounded and Lucky started to run.
Neuer stared at Lucky.
After running up to the front of the ball, Lekai's penalty kick action was extremely standard, and no judgment of the landing point could be seen at all.
Luka didn't have any penalty data to refer to, so Neuer's mind was blank at this moment.
Finally, Neuer decided to take a gamble.
I saw him slowly straighten up.
At this moment, Lekai swung his thigh high, hit the ball hard, and shouted loudly.
"Fuck the spoon!"
The ball hit the blind corner on the right like a cannonball.
It went into the net with a swish.
Neuer stood there stupidly, his face suddenly turned purple.
"You're a liar!!!——"
