There is a dream called football

"Head, with this weather, the second half of the game is likely to be canceled."

Wenger's expression was full of worry.

"I hope not, I don't want to stay in this damn place for a day, and replaying the game will definitely affect the league. It's really bad."

"I hope not, even if the game is a little more difficult," Henry said.

However, UEFA competitions have their own set of rules. As long as UEFA officials determine that the game cannot continue, it will be canceled and resumed another day. Therefore, this is not something that the players can control.

On the other hand, CSKA may be better. After all, it is home court. Even if it is cancelled, they can accept it. However, if the weather improves, will Arsenal have a greater advantage over them?

It's hard to say this. After all, in terms of absolute strength, Arsenal is still far stronger than CSKA.

On the court, on the one hand, the stadium staff were removing snow during the halftime break, and on the other hand, UEFA officials were also inspecting the stadium and making their own judgments.

Two UEFA officials walked around the pitch.

"I think the weather is no longer suitable for competition. Even the view is affected."

Another said: "But you have to know that if the game is not played, it will affect many things. For example, tomorrow is the UEFA Cup game."

"Of course I know that."

"But I can't see the ball clearly, and I can't see the sideline clearly, how can I play?"

"You can draw a red line."

"I still feel unreliable."

Another staff member said: "But with the weather in Moscow, can you guarantee it won't snow tomorrow?"

As soon as these words came out, the other party had nothing to say. Yes, this is Moscow. It might still snow tomorrow.

It is possible to postpone the game for one day, but it is obviously impossible to postpone it further.

"Then we can only switch to other stadiums, such as the stadium in Sochi."

"Then don't think about it, it's impossible."

"Then what do you think?"

"I think snow is different from rain. At least the ball can still bounce on such a court, so I think it's okay."

"Well, it seems we are betting on the health of the players."

"Don't say that, we just have no choice."

*****

Players put on clean clothes, drink some hot tea or hot cocoa, and then return to the tunnel. They must keep their bodies warm. In this kind of weather, they must not cool down completely during halftime, otherwise the second half will be terrible.

.

Li Qiao was climbing the stairs, running quickly to keep up his questions. Van Persie came over and said, "I don't know if I can continue in the second half."

"I hope it's okay, otherwise it will be very troublesome, and I don't want to stay here anymore."

"Damn Moscow, it's snowing so early."

"When Western European teams come to play in Eastern Europe, the weather has always been the most difficult thing. There's nothing to say."

"Well, I hope I won't draw a Russian team again in the future. I've had enough."

Li Qiao chuckled, "You didn't play, so you complain more than me?"

Van Persie Khan.

"It's so cold when I watch the game from the sidelines."

"Haha, no wonder the boss doesn't let you start. You are really not prepared."

"screw you."

Eventually, both sides were informed that the second half would continue, but would be delayed for 10 minutes to allow staff to clear the snow.

In this way, both parties need to continue to warm up and maintain their own body temperature.

Li Qiao was no longer content with climbing stairs. He had to warm up with a ball. He kicked it against the wall, bounced it back and kicked it back again, just like playing table tennis.

This way you can not only warm up, but also maintain your ball feel, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

However, in this kind of weather, the second half will be very difficult for fast players. Li Qiao needs to think carefully about his battle strategy in the second half.

At this time, Van Persie came over and said, "I'll throw the ball for you."

"good."

Van Persie threw the ball for Li Qiao, and Li Qiao used the instep of his feet to bounce it back, which made the ball faster and helped his core muscles maintain temperature.

"Robin, you can throw the ball faster."

"good."

Van Persie threw the ball to Li Qiao faster and faster, but Li Qiao could handle it, which made the CSKA players on the side look at him in shock.

"The feel of the ball is really good."

Even the Brazilians think Li Qiao has a really good feel for the ball, and he can hit the ball quickly in this situation.

If it weren't for the fact that they were opponents, Carvalho would have really wanted to go over and say hello to Li Qiao so that the two sides could have a chat. Unfortunately... it might have to wait until after the game.

Finally, the referee informed both sides that they could go out. They left the warm tunnel and saw the ice and snow outside. The players immediately felt like they were freezing.

It was an uncomfortable feeling, so many people started running immediately after coming on the field, and the referee was very considerate and waited for a while before kicking off.

After putting on long spike shoes, Li Qiao felt that his running was not as flexible as in the first half, but there was nothing he could do about it. For this kind of venue, he had to use the type with the longest spikes.

After the start of the second half, the snow also became lighter.

The two UEFA staff members were also happy for their decision. The venue had been cleared and the snow had lightened, so it shouldn't be a problem to spend the 45 minutes in the second half.

"Your judgment is correct. I'm glad I listened to you."

"Haha, I can only say you are lucky." Another person pointed to the sky.

On the court, the offensive rhythm of both sides was very slow, and neither side dared to exert force without sufficient warm-up.

The commentator felt a little bored, but he understood it. He smiled and said: "I'm afraid this game will have to wait until 15 minutes before it becomes more intense."

The same is true on the pitch. When CSKA got the ball, Arsenal didn't go up to press them. Instead, they stood still and interfered with the players receiving the ball. After all, they were afraid of straining themselves.

CSKA's offense is also very simple, just a big kick forward, and such passes often fall into Lehmann's arms.

Although Levi would give a thumbs up after every pass from his teammates, he felt that such a ball was unreliable.

But this is the only offense that CSKA Moscow can play for the time being. It is fast but can at least send the ball into the opponent's penalty area.

Even the CSKA players were waiting for Lehmann's mistake. What if Lehmann missed the ball? Wouldn't there be a chance?

However, the possibility of Germany's goalkeeper making a mistake is indeed slim. In the first 10 minutes, the game ended with Arsenal's boring possession of the ball and CSKA's long pass. The score did not change, it was still 1-0 for Arsenal.

leading.

Wenger hopes that if this rhythm can be maintained, then the possibility of his side winning is basically 100%.

English teams are not afraid of long balls.
