Chapter 197 Continuous Substitution
After the first leg of the qualifying round, Arsenal immediately transferred its attention to the league. In this round of the league, Arsenal will challenge Everton by visiting Liverpool. Although Arsenal has an absolute advantage in history, Arsenal also lost a big score last season.
In the transfer market, Arsenal has almost no action, and the central defender's signing is far away, and Van Dijk has been shelved unlimitedly for two million pounds.
Although Van Dijk himself wanted to transfer to Arsenal and even took the initiative to show his favor, he did not threaten the club. On the contrary, the Dutch wanted his performance on the court to impress Arsenal.
Because of Li Shou, Van Dik was also paid attention to Shamari, and Shamari even had the urge to sign a contract for the first time after seeing Van Dik's performance.
But unfortunately, Van Dijk already has an agent. Although Shamari can try to poach, in fact, Shamari did not do that.
In this summer that has not passed, Li Shou almost joined Liverpool. If Arsenal had not made any offer at that time, it would be a pity that there was no if in this world, Li Shou was already an Arsenal player.
In the game against Everton, Li Shou still did not start. Although Wenger made a large-scale adjustment to the starter, this did not include the goalkeeper.
The centre-back Motsack replaced Coscheerney, and Gibbs was injured in the end, Monreal started, and the other two were Derbych and Chambers.
In the midfield, Flamini replaced Amitta, Ramsey and Wilshire wanted to continue starting, Giroud, Sanchez and Griezmann formed the forward line.
Domestic fans felt indescribable disappointment when they saw Li Shou still sitting on the bench, and they even began to feel that Li Shou should not transfer to Arsenal.
You know, Li Shou has many choices this summer. Not to mention other things, Real Madrid and Barcelona alone are enough to make many players envious, but Li Shou chose Arsenal.
"I wonder if this young Chinese goalkeeper regrets choosing an arsenal now," Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said, looking at Li Shou sitting on the bench.
"Maybe the professor thinks Lee will need some time." The partner of Andy Gray is Arsenal's legendary star Paul Merson.
"Hahaha~~~ Paul, I knew you would say that." As an Arsenal celebrity, favoring Arsenal is a normal behavior.
"To be honest, I'm a little looking forward to the appearance of this Chinese goalkeeper. Look at him not really that magical." Andy Gray obviously did his homework.
……………………………………………..
"Today, Li Shou is still sitting on the bench." In the distant China, Zhan Jun's tone was also a little disappointed, which is more reasonable for fans.
But Li Shou did not seem to be disappointed with the substitute on the bench. When the camera was pulling towards Li Shou, the guy always had a smile on his face, and even talked and laughed with his teammates sitting on the bench.
The game on the court has begun. Everton, who played at home, took the lead in launching the offensive. Barry divided the side and Miraras got the ball to Naismith. Then Lukaku rushed into the Monaco penalty area and headed the ball against Chambers.
Well, Chambers, who plays as a center back, feels that anyone can bully him, not to mention that Lukaku has excellent physical fitness, even Mertesack may not be able to withstand it.
Being bullied in defense, Chambers decided to regain his presence in the offense. In the ninth minute of the game, Sanchez broke through on the wing and was knocked down, and Arsenal got a chance to get a set piece.
Chambers rushed into the penalty area, Sanchez took the set ball, Chambers headed the ball, Griezmann appeared at the position he should have appeared, and the shot in front of the goal reached the crossbar.
More than ten minutes passed, and Arsenal gradually transferred from a disadvantage to an advantage, but this did not seem to be a good thing for Arsenal, because Arsenal's defense is too fragile.
In the 20th minute, Bynes intervened on the wing and cooperated with Barry. Arsenal's defense made a fatal mistake. Paris passed the ball into the penalty area with a low pass. Arsenal's defense first had to make an offside, but the result was insufficient tacit understanding. Derbych dragged in the end, and Coleman on the right broke into the penalty area and faced Szczesny.
In a one-on-one situation, Szczesny obviously didn't do much, so, a few seconds later, Everton frantically celebrated their first goal in the game.
"This situation seems to be somewhat similar to the previous game." Arsenal also lost the goal in the first round against Crystal Palace, but Everton is not Crystal Palace, and Everton is a strong Premier League team.
The following time seems to prove this. Although Arsenal has an advantage, its advantage is far from being compared with the first game against Crystal Palace, and Everton has not been passively beaten.
At the end of the first round, Crystal Palace only had 4 shots, but Everton's shots far exceeded this number before the first half of the game.
Moreover, Everton will expand the score before the end of the first half, and even this game is full of shadows in the first round. Everton's second goal time occurred in the first half stoppage time.
This goal also completely showed the weakness of Arsenal's defense in front of everyone. Lukaku received the pass from his teammate and waded past Mertesak, then drifted past Chambers and sent a straight pass. Naismith rushed into the penalty area to face Szczesny.
The script of the first goal seems to be repeated, but Szczesny faced a change from Coleman to Naismith, and the result was exactly the same, with Arsenal falling behind 0:2 in the first half.
"The Arsenal must pay attention to the issue of defenders. There is not much time to transfer. If the professor does not take action, the Arsenal will still do nothing this season." As a meritorious player of Arsenal, Paul Merson couldn't help criticizing.
"To be honest, sometimes Wenger's idea is really unpredictable. The goalkeeper obviously spent 20 million to buy the Golden Gloves from last season in the Premier League, and even went to South Korea to invite him in person. There were only two orthodox central defenders left, but he just didn't want to buy them." Andy Grey also said that Arsenal's buyers were confused.
Paul Merson and Andy Gray are still continuing to discuss Arsenal's signings, and players on both sides have returned to the locker room.
The Arsenal players who returned to the locker room didn't even dare to breathe because Wenger's face looked very ugly, and they played quite poorly in the first half, especially Szczesny.
Although these two goals lost have little to do with Szczesny, the goalkeeper can do not do much in one-on-one situation, but the fact that he lost two goals cannot be changed, because these two goals were lost while he was guarding the goal.
Even at this moment, Szczesni couldn't help but wonder if it was Li Shou, would it be possible to save one? After all, the blindfolded point left a deep impression on Szczesni.
