There is a dream called football

There is a strange thing on the football field. When you surround your opponent and beat them up, you are often the one who falls. The match between Germany and South Korea in the World Cup is the best proof of this.

This is also the case now. Arsenal's advantages are becoming more and more obvious, but they have been unable to knock on the opponent's door. This is a bit anxious for Arsenal players, and the same is true for Koeman.

He was anxious, because in his opinion, the game should have ended long ago. He should go back and take a hot bath to relax himself.

But looking at the watch, it was only 75 minutes, which meant Arsenal still had enough time to score another goal.

After Adebayor came on the field, Alex was the busiest person. He was guarding Adebayor, but he found that this guy was really difficult to deal with. Alex was also a very strong player.

, but in front of Adebayor, Alex can only be regarded as a smaller player, which also resulted in Arsenal getting many header opportunities.

But the problem also arises, that is, the passing of the ball by teammates is not accurate enough. For headers, the passing of teammates is very important. Only the very smooth curved ball is the most conducive to heading the ball.

Therefore, Adebayor got a lot of header opportunities, but none of them were very threatening. This also caused the opponent to regain confidence in defense. After all, Arsenal's offense seemed to be only blossoming.

It's just fruitless.

If the positional battle cannot start, then set kicks are very important. A corner kick made both sides nervous at the same time.

This time the corner kick was taken by Robin van Persie because his left foot can hit the ball very accurately.

Koeman stared intently at the penalty area, staring at several possible scoring points for Arsenal. Henry, Li Qiao, and Adebayor were all key players to mark, but Li Qiao seemed to have pushed out in advance, because he stood

The penalty spot is still a bit far away from the core offensive area.

However, Koeman's heart skipped a beat, "Focus on Li Qiao, focus on Li Qiao."

But this is not a basketball game, nor is it a volleyball game. This is a football game. There are tens of thousands of noisy teams, and it is useless if you shout at the top of your lungs.

But I have to say that Koeman guessed it right, because the real point of attack this time was really Li Qiao, but it was hidden.

Robin van Persie kicked the ball out, and the landing point was very precise. It happened to reach Henry's point in the penalty area. At the same time, the opponent's defensive players also pressed up. In this case, everyone thought Henry would header the ball.

But what they didn't expect was that Henry headed the ball back. This was almost beyond everyone's expectation. What was this?

But when everyone saw the players standing on the ball path, everything became clear, because it was Li Qiao who was standing on the ball path, and Li Qiao took a flying kick and pumped the ball straight towards the goal. This ball is power.

It was big and pressed firmly, but there was no arc. Because the distance was too close, goalkeeper Gomez just subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it, and then he did not touch the ball.

The ball went in!!!

This time the Arsenal players celebrated wildly because the goal was so beautiful.

The most important thing is that it is really creative. Under normal circumstances, no one would think of taking advantage of a corner kick opportunity like this. Koeman was beating his chest. He had basically guessed what Arsenal wanted to do. This was probably clear to the onlookers.

But he couldn't inform the players on the court of everything he thought about in time. This was a very depressing thing. What was even more depressing was that Arsenal had tied and now the advantage was on the opponent's side. This was a very uncomfortable thing.

thing.

For Wenger, this is not just a draw, but more importantly, two away goals.

The importance of away goals cannot be overemphasized, because after the restructuring of the Champions League, this system has a great impact on the outcome of the game.

But just when the entire Arsenal team was happy, something happened that made Wenger's heart feel as uncomfortable as falling into an ice cellar.

That means Li Qiao was injured.

Li Qiao has never suffered any serious injuries in his career. It should be said that all successful players in the world need luck. For example, the achievements of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. It is actually very important that they have not suffered any serious injuries in their careers.

Thinking about Kaka again, he was actually affected by a cruciate ligament injury.

When Li Qiao was kicked by Belgian giant Timmy Simons in the midfield, the entire Arsenal was angry, and the two sides almost came to a fight, and the referee was decisive and gave Simons a red card at the first opportunity.

Red card!!

Koeman was a little angry, but he had no choice but to admit that Simmons' move was a little too big this time.

But Wenger was even more angry because his beloved disciple was kicked and injured.

The team doctor went up and made a simple diagnosis and determined that Li Qiao's injury was probably serious because it hurt even to turn his knee.

"Li Qiao, you can't continue playing. I suspect it may be a cruciate ligament problem."

Li Qiao's heart also skipped a beat, this sounded like a very scary thing.

"Are you sure?"

"Not sure. We need to do an NMR. There will be a clear answer."

"All right."

Li Qiao can only hope that the diagnosis is okay, otherwise there is nothing he can do. Injuries are a common occurrence for players. If they can't get through this, then they will probably stop playing football.

When the stretcher was carried to the sidelines, Wenger immediately went up to ask how it was going.

"I suspect it's a cruciate ligament problem."

Wenger's heart skipped a beat. This kind of injury could not be recovered in a month or two. Wenger was worried.

But on the surface, he was as calm as water. He patted Li Qiao gently and said, "It's okay. Go and rest. I believe you are fine. You look like a healthy little tiger."

"Head, keep the result of the game."

"Definitely."

Wenger replaced Theo Walcott, but Arsenal seemed to be enchanted and uncomfortable. At this time, Li Qiao was already considered the number two player in Arsenal. He was the star second only to Henry, but he

But he was injured, which is definitely not good for Arsenal's Champions League prospects.

Arsenal's offense was greatly affected, and they felt a little uninterested in the game. And because PSV sent off one person, the whole team also felt a little lethargic, so in the last few minutes, both sides were waiting for the time, and finally

The game ended with a score of 2-2. For both sides, the next battle in London is on the same starting line.

But Wenger is most worried about Li Qiao, as he is very concerned about the diagnostic report.
