Chapter nine hundred and fourteen
The first game before the Gunners was the Champions League knockout match. For Arsenal, who want to continue to show his terrifying dominance in this event, it is a game that must be certified to deal with.
Because the team will play at home this time and there is no fatigue in the away game, most of the players in the arrangement of the team still choose the regular main players.
Neymar, Liu Feng, Aguero's top three forward combination, Wilshire, Ganso and Ramsey's classic three-midfield combination are all top starters in the midfield and frontcourt.
On the back line, Gibbs replaced Alba who started the field, and Mertesacker partnered with Phil Jones who returned to the starting position of the centre-back after several days, while Alves on the right back was still.
In the goalkeeper position, Szczesni still steadily sat on the main role.
This is a very strong lineup, and the offensive line alone is not something that Galata can afford.
At the press conference before the game, the professor also expressed very positively that he would play in the team's strongest lineup now and must bring a big victory to the fans at home.
This made Galatasaray still hold the Gunners and already won the first round. Now, he may relax his mind and line up half of the main lineup. The Galatas, who are disappointed, are his own chance.
However, no matter what lineup the Gunners line up, it is actually the same for Galatasaray. They were only at home with a 1-3 advantage in their away goal disadvantage.
Now that we are coming to the opponent's home court, the Emirates Stadium, the huge pressure can be predicted by almost no thinking.
When the coach Galata led a group of players to fly away from Istanbul to London, each of them was nervous.
Of course, except Sneider.
As a witness of Inter Milan's legendary season, he knew very well the meaning of the sentence that everything was possible. Although he could not help his teammates unite like the abandoned players of Inter Milan back then, he at least had to calm his mind.
As the core of a team, as long as the core does not fall, there will be a chance.
This is true. When the second leg of the quarterfinals, which is believed to be no longer suspense, Galata's team broke out in a very tenacious style under the command of Sneijder.
Facing Arsenal, who chose to kick off the ball, rushed out as soon as the ball kicked off, they kept running and assisting in defense, resisting the Gunners' attack on the ten minutes of the game.
Then in the subsequent time, once the ball comes to Galatasaray's feet, Sneider will choose to slow down the pace and lure the enemy into the deep.
Arsenal, which had already arranged offensive formation and had offensive tactics, naturally would not choose to retreat. In the next twenty minutes, he chased and beat Galata and beat a big bag.
Unfortunately, the goal has not come yet.
The Galata team members who were inspired by Sneijde to awaken a certain spirit seemed determined to prove themselves. They withstood the pressure under the booing of nearly 60,000 gun fans.
So, the 40th minute of the game came into being.
"Galatta intercepted the ball again. Their tenacity blocked the Gunners' offense again and again. The ball was quickly passed to Sneijder's feet. The Dutch midfielder quickly pushed forward with the ball."
This was an unquestionable counterattack. The game ranked 442, and the Galata team, who let Drogba and Ilmaz wander in the front, finally waited for their chance.
"Transfer the ball to Ilmaz, cooperate with two passes and one pass. Phil Jones was unable to defend two people when attacking. Sneider got the ball again. Now the Gunners only have three defenders left in the half, and they pass with one kick!"
"Swish~"
The ball was stabbed out the next moment, and after leaving Sneijder's foot, he rolled over from Mertesack. When the Gunners defender turned around, a heavy figure was already leaning against his left.
"Drogba! The Warcraft Sword is not old. He firmly stuck Mertesak's position and continued to explode. He crossed half of his body and entered the penalty area and shot!!!"
"Bang!"
I thought Drogba, who left the mainstream league, would enter the retirement mode, but at this moment his running and shooting skills were obviously not reduced at all. When the ball flew into the goal, African Drew rushed to the sidelines and began to slide and kneel.
After his classic three bars appeared on the lawn, Sneider, who had assisted, ran over and hugged him.
Two veterans who also once played in a wealthy family and finally left Turkey were hugging each other tightly. At this moment, their connection undoubtedly proved their abilities.
"He led 1-0, Galata used for 40 minutes to catch the Gunners' careless moment."
"This is the first time Galata's shot, which is actually quite few than the Gunners' seven shots. However, the goal was scored in just one time, and Arsenal must think about it..."
Both commentators sincerely gave Galatasaray acclaim. During the game, you can clearly see the overall strength of Arsenal's crushing against the visiting team, but they can withstand it.
Now, there is not much time left in the first half, and it is definitely a very strong thing to take a goal to lead.
Arsenal, which cannot be conquered for a long time, will inevitably be affected.
When the game started again, Arsenal did not choose to attack the first time the kickoff was kicked off. After being a little confused by the opponent's counterattack this time, they chose to control the ball first.
However, with little time left, their possession did not last long. In the 44th minute of the game, Gansuo held the ball and passed it directly to Liu Feng in the middle after half of the month.
Liu Feng, who was holding the ball on his back, still turned around under the interference of Yinan behind him. He quickly passed by the opponent, and then directly shot the ball before the opponent's defender rushed out.
At this moment, time just came forty-five minutes.
Liu Feng's long-range shot was strong, but the distance became the best speed bump. When the ball came to the goal, Galata goalkeeper Musleira, who had almost collapsed his mentality in the last game, stood up.
"Rapid and used his left hand to pull the ball out of the upper right corner of the goal. Muslera completed a wonderful save!"
"Shh!"
Just as the commentators were amazed at Musleira's save, the whistle to the end of the first half also rang, and Arsenal was unable to equalize the score before the end of the half.
In this way, the last game ended with a 0-1 that no one expected. The Arsenal players lowered their heads behind the cold-faced professor and returned to the locker room honestly.
Chapter completed!
