Chapter 380 End of the first half
Barcelona began to take over the game. The biggest difference between Xavi and Rakitic is the control of the ball under his feet. Before, when Xavi started, Barcelona played the ultimate ball control, but now, Barcelona has reduced the ball control and increased the offense.
But Barcelona's attack could not cross the ten fingers. In the 22nd minute, Mascherano penetrated from behind and shot a good long shot in the penalty area and was held up by Li Shou.
Then the corner kick was directly taken off by Li Shou. Six minutes later, Messi got another shot. The Argentine passed two consecutively and rushed into the penalty area and shot low, but Li Shou flew under him.
In the 31st minute, Neymar was knocked down to play with Bellerin, Barcelona got a free kick with a good position, and Messi took the penalty himself and was saved by Li Shou again.
Barcelona's strength made Arsenal breathless, but the figure in front of Arsenal was like a stabilizing needle that made Barcelona's attacks come back in waves after wave.
In the 36th minute, Barcelona Trident made a very exciting cooperation. The three of them passed back and forth to tear open Arsenal's defense line. Suarez came to the penalty spot and shot straight to the dead corner.
This shot can be said to be the most threatening since Barcelona's opening, and it is better than Rakitic's previous position and the shooting angle is even more tricky.
"Li~~Li~~~Li" But even so, the ball still flew into the goal and was blocked.
"Who can tell me what the body is like?" The Spanish commentator looked at Li Shou with an incredible look on his face.
Li Shou's reaction and the return of a normal person who had already bounced more than that. With Suarez's shot, to be honest, even Yasin probably won't be able to save at the peak.
Suarez looked in disbelief because he felt that he had this shot, and Enrique on the sidelines also looked in disbelief.
In the stands, Arsenal fans shouted Li Shou's name, and they gave all the cheers, applause and praise to Li Shou, while Barcelona fans on the other side cursed Li Shou with anger on their faces.
The more your team likes you, the more your opponents hate you, and Li Shou did this perfectly.
In the 40th minute, Barcelona suppressed it for nearly twenty minutes, Arsenal finally completed the shot again, but Arsenal's shot was similar to the previous shot, and there was still no threat.
After playing forty minutes of the game, Li Shou successfully surpassed Messi and became the focus of the field. Not to mention the magical continuation of the offense, Barcelona was desperate just on defense.
In contrast, although Messi performed well on the offensive end, without breaking through the Arsenal goal, everything was just useless work.
As for Ter Stegen, who also regarded Li Shou as his target in this game, he can't compare with Li Shou until now, because Barcelona's strong offense, Arsenal's offense did not threaten Barcelona's goal, so Ter Stegen, as the goalkeeper, naturally had no chance to perform.
Before the end of the first half, Arsenal had another shot, which was the only time Arsenal scored a free kick in the first half except for Li Shou's free kick.
The same comes from the cooperation of the forward Trident, but unlike the ground cooperation of Barcelona Trident, Arsenal used the air cooperation of the header this time.
Sanchez made a pass from Giroud, and Giroud's defensive player in Pique flew to Griezmann. Griezmann was watched very tightly, so he could only pass it back to Giroud.
Giroud tried to turn around forcibly but failed, so he actually passed the ball again and sent the ball to the right. At this time, Sanchez rushed into the penalty area. In order to get rid of the defensive player around him, Sanchez flew directly to the top.
Sanchez's flying heading was completely beyond Alba's expectations, and Alba, who was one step slower, was too late to stop it, and Sanchez finally hit the ball.
Ter Stegen was a little far from the left at this time, and Giroud and Pique were carrying Ter Stegen, so when Giroud passed the ball, Ter Stegen's vision was completely blocked.
"The ball is in~~~" Ter Stegen does not have the explosive power of Li Shou, so even if he saves, he can't touch the ball.
"No~~~Post~~God~~Sanchez was a little lucky, Barcelona survived death." Sanchez headed the ball and finally hit the post.
"It's a pity~~~ It's a pity~~~ If Sanchez heads in, then the game can almost end early." If the score really becomes 2:0, it will be a big blow to Barcelona. After all, Barcelona has not found a way to break through Li Shu's goal.
Arsenal completed the most threatening attack in the first half, while Barcelona shot without any threat, from Iniesta's shot outside the penalty area. The forward trident attracted Arsenal defensive players to create opportunities for inserting Iniesta. Unfortunately, Iniesta's shot flew directly to the stands.
The referee then blew the whistle to the end of the first half, and Arsenal defended the lead of the ball and entered the midfield.
The Arsenal expressed great satisfaction with this score. Although it was a pity that he failed to expand his lead in the first half, even so, the fans are still confident in their team, or in Li Shou.
No one has disappointed since joining Arsenal Li Shou, and Li Shou has never lost the game where he started and took the lead this season.
Wenger, who returned to the locker room, was also satisfied with his performance in the first half. Although Arsenal was at a disadvantage most of the time in the first half, Arsenal's fighting spirit was still desirable.
Wenger is very clear about the gap in strength between his team and Barcelona, so he can understand the disadvantages. But in terms of the whole first half, it actually didn't give Barcelona much chance. Of course, this refers to an opportunity that really threatens his goal.
"Li" Wenger looked at Li Shou. Wenger knew very well that whether Arsenal could win the championship still depends on Li Shou.
"If possible in the second half, I hope you score another goal." Although it is dangerous to let Li Shou leave the goal again, it is very unsafe to face Barcelona's 1-0 lead.
"If I have a chance, I will try my best." In fact, Li Shou is also considering this issue. It is indeed not safe to face Barcelona 1:0. This is a final of a game that determines the outcome, and there is no so-called second round.
In fact, Li Shou dared to try his best in this final because he kept a backup plan. Even if he lost the ball, he finally came to a penalty shootout. Li Shou also had a huge advantage. This is the last game of the whole season. Even if he loses his attributes, he can practice back in the new season.
This is the benefit of having a system. For normalcy, Li Shou is indeed a bug.
