Chapter 151: Guest Fighter Gunner (Part 1)

On October 24th, at 7:45 pm UK time, the third round of the Champions League group stage officially kicked off at the Emirates Stadium.
When Lee Chenglong entered the stadium with the team, he saw a sign specially made for him by Arsenal fans in the stands.
"Bruce, welcome to the Emirates Stadium."
In fact, this brand has two meanings, one refers to the first time Jackie Lee, a well-known Arsenal fan, came to play at the Emirates Stadium, and the second is to recruit Jackie Lee to transfer to Arsenal.
Of course, Arsenal fans can play such a brand, indicating that they are not too worried about this game, they think that Arsenal at home to win Schalke 04 played by Jackie Lee, that is no problem.
At this time, narrators from various countries were also talking about the story of Jackie Lee and Arsenal, or the story of Jackie Lee and Wenger.
"Bruce Lee grew up in London. After he became famous, the media has long revealed his identity as an Arsenal fan."
"But the biggest story between him and Arsenal was the Wen Limen incident in November last year. At that time, Wenger and Li met in private and were photographed by reporters. It immediately caused a shock in British football. Both sides of the incident were affected by this. Punishment."
"It was also because of that incident that Li failed to join his favorite Arsenal, and Wenger also lost an important reinforcement opportunity, which caused another temperature difference."
"This game is Li's first time to play at the Emirates Stadium, but the only regret is that Wenger still can't direct the game in this game and needs to sit in the stands."
Arsenal lost to AC Milan 0:4 in the away game last season. Wenger accused AC Milan of deliberately making the stadium like a rotten vegetable field after the game, causing Arsenal to lose and blocking the referees after the game. Accusing the opponent of favoring the home team, it is said that he was angry and exploded.
Of course, if this happens, you can't escape UEFA's punishment.
However, UEFA did not immediately punish Wenger in accordance with the "convention", but waited for him to complete the second round of the UEFA Champions League before announcing a three-game suspension.
UEFA does often do such things. Those who are controversial and need to discuss and decide the suspension penalty, UEFA will generally spend a period of time discussing, and then announce the penalty decision at the "appropriate" time.
Just like the match between Arsenal and AC Milan last season, after the first round, UEFA "full" discussion for more than half a month before finally banning Wenger for three games.
If UEFA immediately banned Wenger from the match, Arsenal would never play a 3-0 home game without Wenger, and the appreciation of the Champions League would be impaired.
With this little cleverness, UEFA really has a hand.
Since it was after Arsenal was out of the Champions League last season, UEFA only imposed a suspension, so it was postponed to this season.
In the first three games of the Champions League this season, Wenger could not sit on the coach's bench to direct the game.
And now this one happens to be the third one.
In this game, Schalke 04 and Arsenal are arranged 4231 formation.
Schalke 04 has exactly the same lineup as in the last Ruhr Derby. The winning team does not need to be changed. Stevens has heard this old football saying.
At Arsenal, their starting lineup is,
Goalkeeper: Mannoni;
Defenders: Andre Santos, Vermalan, Mertesacker, Carl Jenkins;
Midfielder: Arteta, Coquelin;
Vanguard: Podolski, Cazorla, Ramsey;
Forward: Gervinho.
Arsenal also has a lot of injuries. In addition to Wilshere, who has been injured last season, there are also Fabianski, Szczynnis, Walcott, Diaby, Gibbs, Rosicky wait, the list of injuries is a long list.
After the game officially started, both sides played more cautiously, because neither side dared to say that they would surely win the opponent.
It wasn't until the 11th minute after the opening that the first shot of the game did not appear.
Podolski's cross from the wing, Gervinho grabbed a shot in front of the goal, but he missed under Matip's interference.
In the 14th minute, Li Chenglong dribbled the ball off Coquilin in the middle and entered the penalty area with a flat ball. He also completed the first shot of Schalke 04, but the ball went slightly outside the right post.
After a slow pace for more than ten minutes in the opening game, Arsenal began to actively seek change, ready to press the offense, after all, this is their home court.
In the 19th minute, Podolski forced a cross from Uchida from the wing and the ball bypassed Onnastahl and rolled to the back of the goal. But Gervinho who followed up was a step slower. Pass the goal.
In the 26th minute, Cazorla made a long-range shot with his teammates in front of the penalty area. The ball hit Hévedés and almost refracted into the net.
After accelerating the pace, Arsenal's offensive immediately began to threaten Schalke 04's goal.
But in this case, Schalke 04 has found the opportunity first.
In the 33rd minute, Li Chenglong ran into the penalty area and received a forward pass from Holtby with his back.
With Mertesacker defending behind him, Li Chenglong first smashed the ball on the inside of his right foot, and planned to turn to the left, causing Mertesacker behind him to move to the left with his center of gravity. However, Li Chenglong stepped on the ball and pulled it back. Turn around on the right.
This time not only lied to Mertesacker behind him, even Arteta, who had been defended to double-team Li Chenglong, was also swayed.
"Lee~~~ continuous shaking and spiking~~~ He deceived Mertesacker!!" Li Chenglong's actions directly made the British commentator raise the pitch.
"Lee turned around~~~~ kicked the door!!"
Turning around smoothly, Li Chenglong swung his leg sideways and volleyed directly with his left foot.
The ball went to the bottom left corner of the goal. The Italian goalkeeper Mannoni, who was kicked off the shelf because the goalkeeper was injured at the same time, was obviously not prepared. He stood in front of the goal and watched the ball roll from the bottom left corner behind him. In the goal.
"Gooooooooooal~~~~~~~" The German commentator let out a long roar.
"Bruce Lee~~~ turned around and hit the door very beautifully~~~~~ Nice job!!!"
"He deceived the defensive player with a fake action, turned around and finished the shot with his left foot. This time the angle of the shot was very tricky and he flew directly into the lower left corner of the goal!!"
"Whether it is the fake action of turning around, or the completion of the shot, Li has done very well. This is the personal ability of the top players!"
In the case of a slightly passive away game, he took the lead to score, which made the Schalke 04 team happy, and immediately rushed over to find Li Chenglong to celebrate.
However, Li Chenglong waved his hand and declined, indicating that he would not celebrate.
"Lee, he pushed his teammate away. Obviously, he was saying that he was not celebrating the goal."
"Lee is a big fan of Arsenal, and that should be why he doesn't celebrate after breaking Arsenal's goal."
Li Chenglong's actions immediately attracted the attention of the audience, and the narrator was also talking about the situation.
The boos just sounded at the Emirates Stadium, because Li Chenglong did not celebrate the goal, the action came down again, and a small number of people applauded him.
In fact, Jackie Lee has no other choice. He has long been dubbed the hat of a loyal Arsenal fan~EbookFREE.me~ If he celebrates wildly after scoring a goal at the Emirates Stadium, wouldn't it be an instant collapse?
Li Chenglong did not celebrate the goal, so soon the game started again.
Taking advantage of the momentum after scoring, Schalke 04 turned away at the Emirates Stadium and began to suppress Arsenal.
In the 38th minute, Schalke 04 hit the frontcourt, and Li Chenglong suddenly dropped the goal in front of the penalty area, which shocked the Arsenal fans. Fortunately, Manoni retreated in time and reached out to lift the ball out of the crossbar.
Immediately after the corner kick, Matip successfully grabbed a point to complete the header, but he directly pushed the ball into Mannoni's arms.
In the 43rd minute, Schalke 04 got another great opportunity.
Li Chenglong passed Podolski and Andre Santos on the right side and pushed the ball forward.
Atsushi Uchida was inserted from the back row to the bottom, because Lee Chenglong's passing power was just right, allowing him to take the ball comfortably, followed by a cross pass.
Huntelaar ran into the small penalty area in time and kicked the ball from close range.
This is almost a must goal, but Huntelaar pushed the ball on the post and bounced out of the baseline without much interference.
"Huntelaar's performance last season was almost perfect, but since the beginning of this season, his state has declined very significantly. His contribution to the team is not even as good as the newly joined Bruce Lee." The German commentator also said. At the moment.
This continuous coordination on the right creates opportunities for the center, which Schalke 04 has practiced many times.
This time everyone did a very good job, but Huntelaar's last shot was out of standard. It really shouldn't be.
Although an excellent opportunity was wasted at the last moment, Schalke 04 ended the first half with a goal lead.
