Chapter 323: Worthy of the fans' expectations
Envy, in Juventus goalkeeper, Buffon's eyes were full of envy. This was not Buffon's envy of Li Shou's wonderful saves, he envied Li Shou's powerful explosive power.
As for the whole world football, I envy Li Shou not only Buffon. After Buffon's perfect goalkeeper remarks came out, goalkeepers all over the world began to envy Li Shou.
Perhaps many goalkeepers were more or less willing to look at Li Shou in front, but after Buffon spoke, everyone could only start looking at Li Shou in front of him, thus enviing Li Shou.
Li Shou had a wonderful performance. Seven minutes later, Buffon was not willing to be outdone. Cassorla made a cross, and the latter was called a cross forty-five degrees. Giroud was unable to attack the goal under Bonucci's entanglement, so he chose to knock back, and at this moment Ramsey rushed up.
After Juventus played so many long shots, Arsenal naturally had to fight back. In Arsenal, Ramsey's long shot was still quite good.
Especially the next shot, the ball went straight to the dead corner, but such a high-level long shot still failed to help Arsenal break through Buffon's goal.
Before the game, Buffon said that although Li Shou is a perfect goalkeeper, he will never surrender, and he also believes that he can block Arsenal's attack.
As of now, Buffon did it, and even the score in the frontcourt ended at the end of the first half was 0:0, and the goalkeepers on both sides performed perfectly in the entire first half.
Juventus' tactics are implemented thoroughly. Facing Juventus' bombing, Li Shou made no mistakes and did not give Juventus a chance.
As for Arsenal, the number of shots may not be as many as Juventus, but not too few. Moreover, there are several waves of attacks that are very threatening, but they are all resolved by Buffon.
"In the first half, Li Shou and Buffon both deserve everyone's expectations." Zhan Jun said this when the whistle sounded at the halftime break.
Perhaps Li Shou performed better, but don’t forget how old Buffon is. Buffon is an outstanding veteran in 1978, 14 years older than Li Shou.
Wenger, who returned to the locker room, was not satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, because away goals in the Champions League were very important, and Arsenal did not have a chance to score goals in the first half. Although Buffon performed well, there were one or two times that he was not sure about it.
At the same time, Wenger looked at Li Shou again. It was obvious that when the team was unable to break the deadlock, Li Shou's free kick was the best way to break the deadlock.
Breaking the goal guarded by Buffon, I have to say that this is very tempting for Li Shou. Buffon is old. Even if he maintains a good state, his career will not last too long even if he misses this opportunity. Li Shou may never have the chance to play with Buffon again.
Li Shou did not agree to anything, but he would depend on the situation on the court. Although it was very tempting to break Buffon's goal, this was under a major premise, that is, Arsenal never scored a goal.
After all, it's just the end of the first half, and Arsenal still has 45 minutes to change the situation on the court, of course, Juventus is like this.
After halftime, the players of both sides returned to the stadium without any change, and Arsenal, who had the right to the second half, launched a surprise attack after the game began.
After receiving the return pass, Cazorla broke in and sent a pick pass. Giroud headed the ball and rubbed it. At this time, Sanchez had already rushed behind Lichsteiner and received the ball and cut into Juventus' penalty area.
Arsenal's attack was somewhat beyond Juventus' expectations, but unfortunately, Sanchez did not really complete the shot. After Sanchez rushed into the penalty area, Chiellini also reacted and then flew directly.
Sanchez wanted to get closer to the goal, but Chiellini didn't give Sanchez a chance at all, and Chiellini's flying tackle was too decisive.
You know, Chiellini's tackle is even more likely to be the greater one that he knocked down Sanchez and gave Arsenal a penalty, and Chiellini seems to have captured Sanchez's mentality.
Chiellini is not a loss because he is the best central defender in Italy after Nesta. Generally, the central defender is not as decisive as Chiellini.
Arsenal failed in a crack attack, and the two sides returned to the position to fight. Juventus continued to rely on Pirlo's stop. The powerful bulldozer-style attack in the midfield threatened Arsenal's goal.
In the 49th minute, Pogba scored a world wave in the penalty area, but this world wave finally made Li Shou a world-class save.
A blind spot in the absolute sense, and it is extremely powerful and fast. If it were an ordinary goalkeeper, Pogba would probably score, but at this moment, Li Shou was standing at the goalkeeper.
Seeing that his shot was blocked by Li Shou again, Pogba looked in disbelief. You know, when he completed this long shot, Pogba even raised his hands to celebrate, but in the end he could only hold his head in disbelief.
Juventus' first corner kick in the second half was not sent to the penalty area, because Li Shou in the first half used facts to tell the Juventus people that it was useless to send the ball into the penalty area.
He still shot a long shot, but this time Li Shou did not give Juventus a corner kick, but directly saved the ball and pressed it under him.
In the 55th minute, Pogba's long shot was still there. Since the rise of Juventus last season, agent Raiola has started to build momentum for Pogba.
The result of this is that Pogba's confidence soars. Players sometimes need such confidence. At this time, Pogba was completely unaffected by the previous ones and decisively shot after receiving the pass.
Pogba's long shot really deserves his confidence, because it was another extremely threatening shot, and the ball was even changing directions.
But it was useless. Under Pogba's gaze, Li Shou flew up again, and then had an intimate contact with the ball with his palm. The ball changed its flight trajectory and flew out of the bottom line.
It was another corner kick, and this time Juventus sent the ball into the penalty area again, and Li Shou once again chose to abandon the goal. However, this time Li Shou did not choose to take off the ball, but instead knocked the ball out with one punch, creating an opportunity for counterattack for the team.
And this time Cazorla did not look for Sanchez because it was no secret that Arsenal counterattack routines were used, so Cazorla's pass target Griezmann on the other side.
However, Griezmann is just a cover, just to attract the attention of Juventus defensive players, and the real counterattack was Sanchez.
