Iron Man on the pitch

Arsenal's new addition to Walcott is really too fast.

Walcott doesn't need any fake moves, just having enough space for him to sprint, to be able to break through the defensive breakthrough of the Sporting full-back in Lisbon.

When you only need to pay attention to not reaching the baseline when passing the ball behind you, the midfielder of any giant team looks like a passer master. Anyway, the football that was passed on will always be won by Walcott before the defender.

Even if the two full-backs of Sporting Lisbon are freshly replaced, they won’t be able to do anything physically. The absolute gap in speed and talent makes them exhausted.

Fortunately, Walcott's foot skills are average, both the quality of the crossing and the inverted triangle pass is not very good. Coupled with Rui Patricio's super-god performance, Sporting Lisbon can succeed. Keep the goal unlost.

But there were two shots from Bentner and Diaby almost threatened Sporting Lisbon's goal, so Paul Bento decided to find a way to stop Walcott's attack. Because of another offensive fulcrum of Arsenal, Bentner, was already out of breath. The remaining players, their offensive ability is still within the range they can handle.

So Paul Bento signaled Li Ling to defend Walcott, because in Sporting Lisbon's lineup, only Li Ling is still able to compete with Walcott for speed after 110 minutes of the game.

Doing so means completely giving up the counterattack and focusing on delaying to overtime. After all, Rui Patricio's performance is already super magic today, and it is normal to pin his hopes of winning the penalty shootout. Our goalkeeper is possessed by the goalkeeper today, and the advantage lies in me.

However, when the game reached the 113th minute, an accident that belonged to Sporting Lisbon came.

After all, the defensive players still have to turn around. Even though Li Ling's physical fitness is absolutely strong, they can only ensure that they will not be broken by Walcott and cannot steal the football from his feet. Li Ling had to try his best to force Walcott to pass the game back, or simply pass it blindly.

After being guarded by Li Ling, Walcott, who had been smooth sailing, had lost his previous unfavorable straight-line racing style and could only play alone with the ball. But under the premise that the physical condition has no advantage, relying solely on technology, Walcott cannot break through Li Ling's defense.

Although the guy in front of him is much bigger than him, his speed is not slower than him at all, and he is even vaguely above him, and this guy is younger than him!

This made Walcott feel very irritable. He ran back and forth on the inside of the penalty area with the football, but after a few twists and turns, he found that he could not break through, so he simply found a gap and swung it all the way. Legs, use all your strength to kick the ball into the penalty area.

Li Ling noticed Walcott's movements and quickly stretched out his legs to block, but he did not block the right position in a hurry.

The football hit Li Ling's leg and changed the line, but the speed did not slow down much. Instead, it drew an arc and drifted towards the goal of Sporting Lisbon.

The players who were originally running in the penalty area wanted to rush to football, but Bentner and Anderson Polga hugged each other, but in the end no one could touch the football; Rui, who was fully focused on blocking the close point, was Patricio, because his vision was blocked, he turned around and rushed to the football, it was too late.

Sporting Lisbon players looked at the football with desperate eyes and rubbed the crossbar and crossed the goal line.

Walcott rushed out to celebrate excitedly, leaving two long sliding kneeling tracks on the lawn. Arsenal players rushed over and put Walcott at the bottom.

The Emirates Stadium was like an erupting volcano, venting the emotions that had been suppressed for dozens of minutes. The cheers and praise, combined with the sounds of various professional, homemade percussion instruments, are deafening.

Soon, as the score on the big screen was rewritten to 4:2, the voice of the live broadcaster also rang: "After the referee's determination, this goal was judged as an own goal. Let's take a look at the slow motion replay..."

"Walcott was not a conscious shot when he kicked his feet, nor was he directed towards the fans. Let's watch a second of silence for Walcott, and he lost a goal. However, the little genius of Sporting Lisbon scored an own goal while trying hard to defend. I wonder if it will have any impact on his performance? "

"I don't think he can do anything for the rest of the time."

"This..." Li Ling opened his mouth wide and looked at the goal blankly. He never expected that the football hit him and made a strange change in line, causing him to complete an own goal.

Joao Moutinho hurried over and took a photoHe patted Li Ling on the shoulder and comforted softly: "It's okay, don't care, you don't blame this ball."

"No, no, I..." Li Ling was a little confused.

"Don't be sad, football changes direction, it's not your fault." Rui Patricio also came over and touched Li Ling's head.

Joao Moutinho originally wanted to do this action, but unfortunately his height was too difficult.

"That's right, we are already content to make it to the Champions League knockout stage," Miguel Veroso also came to comfort Li Ling, "Without you, we wouldn't be able to go this far."

There are also Pedro Mendes, Anderson Polga... Sporting players all came over and encouraged Li Ling. Scoring an own goal can really dampen the self-confidence of defensive players.

Li Ling glanced at the coach's seat and found that the substitutes and head coach Paul Bento were like their teammates around them, with more or less regret and unwillingness on their faces. Although they could not rush to the court, they looked at themselves with only concern and encouragement.

"Thank you." Li Ling shook his head, then raised his head, slapped his teammates one by one, and then walked towards the middle circle with a calm expression.

The ridicule of Arsenal fans immediately sounded in Li Ling's ears, and a song was quickly adapted to mock him, but this did not have any impact on Li Ling.

Sporting Lisbon kicked off the ball in the middle circle and pushed the full attack with a big push.

Arsenal, who led 4:2, chose to retreat with all players. Wenger replaced the three players in overtime perfectly played out his own characteristics.

Arsenal changed the team 4-4-2, and the midfielder composed of Ebue, DeNilson, Diaby and Alexander Song is the strongest midfield defensive lineup for Arsenal; Bentner also retreated Go to the front of the penalty area and use his 193cm tall man to resist Sporting Lisbon's cross; Arsenal left a Walcott in the frontcourt, which will give Sporting Lisbon a fatal blow at any time once it launches a counterattack.

Therefore, Sporting Lisbon's offense is difficult to organize, so they can only find a way to pull the edge. Even if the ball is intercepted in this way, it will leave more time for our side to react.

Time passed minute by minute, and the regular time had ended.

The injury time in overtime was 2 minutes, leaving Sporting Lisbon for 2 minutes.

Sporting Lisbon got a corner kick opportunity, and everyone, including goalkeeper Rui Patricio, came to Arsenal's penalty area.
