Chapter 198 Champions League group stage draw

Although Wenger was also thinking about this problem, he could not replace Li Shou in this game. Not to mention anything else, Szczesny seemed to perform well in the whole first half, and the responsibility for conceding the ball was not high.

Besides, Arsenal is now behind. Can the change of goalkeeper solve this problem?

It's hard to say if it's Li Shou, but Wenger obviously doesn't know enough about Li Shou, so there was no substitution during Arsenal's halftime break.

No substitution does not mean there is no change. Arsenal in the second half interpreted this very well. Arsenal, who has no way out, can only fight back absolutely.

Arsenal completed a shot within a minute of the second half. Sanchez made a diagonal pass, and Giroud rushed into the penalty area and volleyed but was blocked by Howard.

Arsenal made a comeback two minutes later, and Griezmann's shot was slightly off the line. The Frenchman was still a little short of his first goal at Arsenal.

In the 63rd minute, Arsenal suffered a heavy blow and Sanchez left the field due to injury. Although he was not seriously injured, there was definitely no way out in this game. Chamberlain came on as a substitute.

No one expected that Chamberlain's appearance would be the turning point in this game. Although Arsenal's goal was not the main hero, he played a very important role.

In the 69th minute, Arsenal finally tied a match, Chamberlain and Wilhel replaced, and then the two of them collided with each other. Casso pulled the ball down and sent the ball into the penalty area. Ramsey followed up in the middle to score.

This is also Ramsey's second goal this season. In the first round, Ramsey helped Arsenal win over Crystal Palace. Now Ramsey's goal has helped Arsenal regain hope.

"God bless those celebrities from far away," Andy Gray prayed with a sad face.

There is a strange law in Arsenal midfielder, that is, his goal will definitely lead to a celebrity's death. Although this is just a joke, Ramsey's law is really a bit high.

After Ramsey scored, Everton began to retreat, and the Everton coach began to replace defensive players, and even used substitutions to kill time.

Arsenal also started to substitution, Cazorla replaced Wilshire, and this substitution allowed Arsenal to score the second goal in this game.

Everton held on for 88 minutes, but failed to stand firm until the end. Monreal inserted into the side road, Casolla pulled the side to help Monreal go down the bottom.

After the bottom, Monreal did not hesitate at all and directly sent the ball into the penalty area with one kick. At this time, Giroud had been waiting for a long time behind Everton's penalty area.

"2:2~~~ It's another final kill~~~ Arsenal scored again at the last moment of the game. Although this goal did not allow Arsenal to win the game, it also prevented Arsenal from losing the game."

"Oh oh oh ~~~ What's the situation? After scoring the goal, Giroud lay on the ground and did not get up. Was he injured?" The hero of the goal did not get up again after landing.

Substitution? Sorry, Arsenal has no substitutions anymore. Just eight minutes before Giroud scored, in the 80th minute of the game, Wenger replaced Griezmann with Campbell.

Giroud obviously could no longer hold on to the game, and Arsenal could only accept the fact that one person was missing, so at the last moment, Arsenal retreated and saved the draw.

Arsenal still got what he wanted. Although Everton launched a fierce attack in the last six minutes, Arsenal won a draw with Szczesni's high contact.

"The arsenal's offensive problem is actually not big. Sanchez and Griezmann are both capable. They need time. The real problem of the arsenal is in defense and central defenders. The professor should pay attention to this issue." Paul Merson's tone was a little worried.

Paul Merson's concerns are useless for Arsenal, because it is the team's management who determines Arsenal's lifeline, head coach Arsena Wenger.

Wenger was also asked about the defender in an interview after the game, and Wenger said that Arsenal would sign ups in the next time.

But in fact, Arsenal still did not sign a central defender, and Wenger's attention was diverted after the interview because of Giroud's injury.

What does this mean when the French center is injured for three months? It means that Giroud cannot appear in Arsenal before 14 years have passed, which means that Arsenal will completely lose its main center for nearly half a season.

Arsenal needs to buy a forward. After Giroud was injured, Arsenal did not have an orthodox center. Sanchez and Griezmann were both wingers. Sanogo was overwhelmed. His talent has always been just talent in recent years. As for Campbell, it is similar to Sanogo.

In addition, Assen also has a German striker Podolsky. Unfortunately, the German striker was injured during the World Cup and has not recovered yet. Moreover, Podolsky's goal-scoring ability is worrying. This club's national team performed very strongly, but it was not possible once it arrived at the club.

So, in the next few days, Arsenal has been looking for a striker. At the same time, Li Shou officially received a notice from Wenger that he will make his league debut in the next game.

However, before the third round of the league arrives, Arsenal still has to play in the second leg of the Champions League qualifiers, and the next day after the second leg will usher in the Champions League group stage draw.

If Arsenal could win in the first leg, Li Shou might have made a appearance in the second leg, but unfortunately, Arsenal did not win the opponent in the first leg, so Li Shou still sat on the bench in the second leg.

As for the result of the second leg, Arsenal officially entered the group Serbia with a 1-0 win. Although Arsenal can only enter the main game by playing qualifying games every year, Arsenal is still the first-class player in the Champions League.

The Champions League draw was divided into four gears, and the first team was drawn, so Arsenal's name soon appeared in front of the TV.

In fact, the draw in the first gear is not very good, because the draw in the first gear is just a group. The real highlight is the draw in the later gear, because some powerful teams belong to the second gear, or even the third gear.

In terms of Arsenal's group D, the second level comes from Dortmund in the Bundesliga. Dortmund is not weak in strength. It is the second team in the Bundesliga after Bayern Munich, the third team is Turkey's giant Galatasaray, and the last team is Belgium's giant Anderlecht.

To be honest, Arsenal's D group is not easy to play, because Arsenal's own strength is not very strong. It can even be said that Arsenal's strength belongs to the middle and lower reaches in the first level.

Although Arsenal is not easy to play, no matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than Manchester City. Manchester City's e-group is the real death group in the Champions League group stage this season. The first is Bayern Munich, the third is CSKA Moscow, and the last is Rome from Serie A.

Manchester City is undoubtedly the worst in the four Premier League teams, and then Arsenal. Chelsea is the best luck. The other three teams in Group G almost cannot threaten Chelsea. Liverpool is neither good nor bad. Although they are in the same group as Real Madrid, the strength of the other two teams is not strong.
