What is a destructive midfielder?

Arsenal locker room.

The atmosphere was heavy.

Wenger patiently explained the tactical arrangement for the second half.

Wilshere lowered his head, his mind full of Havertz's close entanglement, helpless, just like the feeling of a diamond player being beaten by a bronze trumpet.

Cazorla wiped his sweat with a dry towel.

He suddenly felt that the world of football was a reincarnation: after Pirlo and Xavi retired, another Li Kang emerged,

The fifteen-minute halftime break ended quickly.

The players of both sides returned to the green field.

"Good evening, audience friends, welcome back!"

"Leverkusen made the first substitution adjustment, Bellarabi replaced Brandt!"

"The most familiar positional substitution."

"There must be a counterattack point on the front line, Bellarabi's speed is very deterrent!"

With the referee's whistle.

The second half of the game officially began.

Kiesling kicked the ball back to Li Kang.

The football was quickly passed several times.

It returned to Bellarabi's feet.

He decisively burst!

Bang!

After just a few steps!

The football was easily intercepted by Sanchez's big legs!

Arsenal's formation quickly spread to the two wings.

The football rolled to Bellerin's feet!

"The ball was lost too quickly!"

"Arsenal's tactics in the second half are simpler and more direct!"

The stands of the Bayer Arena.

There was a wave of voices!

"Come on you gunners!!!"

Bellerin dribbled the ball through the center circle.

Kiesling quickly intercepted.

He is the representative of North Rhine-Westphalia. In the season when he won the Bundesliga Golden Boot, he resisted the temptation of many giants and defended Leverkusen.

Arsenal's full-back did not choose to dribble past the opponent. He swung his right foot slightly and passed the ball to Cochran who came in from behind!

Cochran touched the ball!

It was passed in front of Sanchez!

In just a few seconds.

The football spanned the entire width of the field!

"Arsenal's tactical details have changed a lot!"

"Reduce the transition between Wilshere and Cazorla!"

"More concise, more efficient, and more single!"

"More dependent on Sanchez's personal ability!"

Leverkusen's 30-meter area in the half.

Sanchez turned into a wild boar!

With his short and sturdy body, he squeezed Bender out of the way!

Rampaging on the left.

Arsenal invested most of its forces in the middle.

Giroud pushed Papadopoulos away and reached out for the ball!

Leverkusen's defense was very calm.

Old man Top was also very calm.

Seems to have guessed Wenger's tactical changes.

He kept opening his arms on the sidelines, signaling the players on the defense line to pay attention to the spacing of the defensive formation.

Come to the left side of the penalty area.

Sanchez carried Hilbert and protected the football steadily.

"No way to grab it!"

"The lower body is too stable!"

"Sanchez, cut inside! Can he save Arsenal this time?"

The thick thigh showed an extremely amazing pace.

Hilbert was knocked to the ground!

Most of Leverkusen's defensive strength tends to the left!

Bang!

Sanchez did not continue to cut inside!

He saw a burly figure appearing on the right rib.

In a disadvantageous situation, it is never alone!

Pass the ball decisively!

"Mertesacker!!!"

"There is a gap on the right!"

"You can shoot!"

The two-meter giant of Arsenal, who practiced long-range shooting skills when he played for Bremen!

A few steps to run up!

Shoot the ball!

Bang!

The football whizzed towards the Leverkusen goal!

Passed through the dense crowd!

Top right corner!

Leno's pupils shrank slightly, and he didn't have time to adjust his position and jump!

Leverkusen fans took a breath of cold air!

Old man Top grabbed his afro nervously!

Who would have thought that Wenger had this trick: giving up the connection between the two core organizers! Let the central defender also press to the rib area!

Bang!

There was a fierce touch sound from the close-up sound equipment!

The violently spinning football flew to the small penalty area line and was blocked by a figure out of the bottom line!

Arsenal fans exclaimed unwillingly!

"That was a close call!"

"Li Kang! He blocked Mertesacker's powerful shot with his face!"

"Hey! It doesn't look serious!"

Even with an injury-immune physique.

Li Kang, who was hit by a heavy artillery, felt dizzy at this time.

He adjusted a few steps and held the goal post with his left hand.

After a while.

He signaled to his teammates and the referee that he was fine.

Leverkusen fans breathed a sigh of relief.

Old man Top and Dino also breathed a sigh of relief.

We still have to play Bayern in a few days!

Li Kang must not be knocked unconscious!

Cazorla gestured to Wilshere.

He walked straight to the corner flag area.

Beep!

At the urging of the referee.

The Arsenal midfielder completed his run-up!

A bizarre arc was drawn above the penalty area of ​​Leverkusen.

"Arsenal tried their best! Almost all the players advanced to the penalty area!"

"Front point!"

"Giroud!"

Of course Giroud didn't head the ball.

He was being pushed by two big guys!

The football passed over everyone's heads!

It fell to the back point!

Monreal pushed Hilbert away!

No fancy moves.

The thigh was raised to an exaggerated height!

The instep hit the ball hard!

A volley!

Amid the boos and cheers of the BayArena.

The ball hit the upper left corner of the goal!

Unstoppable!

Leno kicked hard!

The green glove hammered on the ball!

Bang!

The ball's trajectory was changed and hit the crossbar!

Then it bounced into the goal line!

Walcott, who was preparing to make up the shot, failed to stop his running momentum and buried his head into the net.

1:1!!!

"It's the ball!"

"Cazorla's wonderful pass from the corner kick! Monreal's volley! Arsenal equalized the score!"

"This is football. The suspense will not end until the game is stopped!"

"Wenger's tactical adjustment came a little late, but it worked!"

"Leverkusen! They must keep up with the pace of change! If they concede another goal! They will lose the initiative to advance!"

The four stands of the BayArena.

Leverkusen fans were silent.

Arsenal fans cheered wildly.

Monreal rushed to Cazorla at the first time!

Teammates gathered together to celebrate wildly.

Walcott lifted the net that blocked his view, and after a few seconds of confusion, he excitedly kicked the ball.

On the side of the court!

Assistant coach Boulder shouted angrily:

"Hurry up! We have to score another goal! To advance!"

Bellarabi followed the referee and argued: "Monreal must be offside! I saw it clearly!"

In 2015, the five major leagues did not have VAR video assistant referees.

Bellarabi grew up playing street football in the slums. He didn't care if you were offside or not, just complain.

The referee hesitated for a moment and looked at the linesman.

The linesman waved his left hand, and the yellow flag in his right hand fluttered in the wind.

The goal was valid.

Wenger smiled.

Top squeezed the mineral water bottle, a little annoyed. Was he caught off guard by Arsenal's set-piece tactics?

He kept gesturing at the players on the field and pressed his hands down hard!

He turned around and yelled at the panicked coaching staff:

"Calm down!"

"Keep calm!"

"Damn it! Think about it! How to free Li!"
