Chapter 378 Sanchez's contribution
Although Arsenal's two attacks did not really pose any threat to Barcelona's goal, it can be seen from these two attacks that Arsenal has already overcome the tension at the beginning and is gradually entering the state.
Although Arsenal players gradually eliminated their tension and entered the state, Barcelona always had the advantage on the field, which is the gap between experience and strength.
If we sort the current strength of European giants, Arsenal will definitely be in the downstream, or even at the end, even if there is a Li guard, Arsenal's strength will still be in the middle and lower reaches.
This is what Arsenal has performed this season. It is almost possible that Li Shou brought Arsenal to its current height by himself. However, it is precisely because of this that Li Shou quickly conquered the media and fans, and can even threaten Ronaldo and Messi now.
In the fifteenth minute, Messi finally got his first shot in the game. Rakitic sent the ball to Messi's feet, and Ah Gou broke through Monreal with the ball and cut into the penalty area.
Under Li Shou's command, Mertesack immediately made up for the position. Messi decisively shot when he saw this. Li Shou seemed to be ready and flew to catch the ball directly.
It was actually a bit risky to directly control the ball to save, but Li Shou has not made any mistakes or make mistakes in this regard.
Messi's eyes changed when he saw Li Shou's save, because Messi could feel that this was Li Shou's provocation to him, just as Li Shou did when he faced Ronaldo before.
Messi's inner pride is no less than Ronaldo, and even Messi. Although many people put the two in the same position, in terms of the current honors, Messi is closer to the throne than Ronaldo.
Messi quickly responded to Li Shou's provocation. The goal kick from Li Shou was quickly cut off by Barcelona. Then Barcelona went out to attack Arsenal's hinterland, and the ball also came to Messi's feet again.
Monreal learned his lesson, and this time he did not rush up to intercept it, but kept a certain distance and did not allow Messi to truly break through himself.
But soon Monreal retreated without any further. Messi took a step forward and Monreal took a step back. The stadium was so big that Monreal could not take much.
With double-teams, Li Shou had already commanded others. In order to stop Barcelona's attack, Li Shou once again used his command technique. As Li Shou's personal ability became more and more outstanding, Li Shou gradually gave up commanding the defense line.
Li Shou's command can indeed block many opponents' offenses, but if the corresponding defensive players are commanded by Li Shou for a long time, they will be ruined. Li Shou will not do it or can't do it.
Seeing this, Messi immediately passed the ball to Suarez who came to meet him. When he hit the wall, Messi passed the ball to Suarez immediately accelerated over Monreal and Mertesac.
When Messi crossed the two, Suarez's pass also returned to Messi, and at this time, only the goal and goalkeeper were left in front of Messi.
"Shot~~~Far Corner" Messi had long observed Li Shou's position, and was close to the left. If he hit the near corner, the possibility of Li Shou's reaction being saved was too high, so Messi chose the far corner on the right, and shot with one shot, as far away as possible from Li Shou.
"Oh oh oh ~~~ Earth's gravity is useless to Li." He pulled up and faced Messi's shot, Li Shou jumped directly and blocked the ball.
"Damn" Looking at Li Shou who was out of the gravity of the earth, Messi couldn't help but swear, with a hint of envy in his eyes.
"Barcelona still has a chance, Li pushed the ball out of the bottom line." Messi's pick-pass curve was very high. Although Li Shou bounced amazingly, he could not directly take the ball off.
In a tactical corner kick, Iniesta passed the ball to Messi. This time Messi did not shoot by himself, but instead passed the ball into the penalty area with a pick-up pass and sent it to Pique's head.
Seeing the ball flying towards him, Pique jumped hard and pressed down on Mertesack, who was better than him. However, just as Pique was about to head and attack, the defense line seemed to be shrouded by something.
The next second, Pique knew that he was shrouded in something, and at the same time, Pique also found that the ball that was originally above his head was gone.
"Counterattack~~~ This is an Arsenal-style counterattack~~~ Lee's clearance accurately found Cazorla." Arsenal's counterattack has been tried and tested this season.
After receiving the pass, Caszorla immediately turned around and sent a long pass. As for the target, it was naturally Sanchez. As long as Sanchez was on the court, Arsenal would definitely find the Chilean as soon as possible.
Sanchez, who received the pass, immediately launched an attack on Barcelona's penalty area, but Barcelona's defensive players were not satisfied with the reaction, and Alba and Alves retreated immediately.
The speed of these two people is not slower than Sanchez, so this counterattack failed in the end. However, it was lost and won in Dongyu. Although the counterattack failed, Arsenal did not have no gains.
After entering the position, Sanchez made a triple pass with Giroud and Cazorla who followed him. Cazorla made a straight pass, and Sanchez burst out and accelerated over Alba to catch up with the ball.
Just as Sanchez was about to take a step further and attack the Barcelona defense line, Mascherano rushed out from the ground and made a flew kick in front of him.
"Foof~~~Mascherano's tackles Sanchez" I'm afraid no one would have thought that Cargill's first yellow card was given to Barcelona.
Mascherano's tackle was actually for the ball, but Sanchez reacted very quickly and protected the ball. The result was that he was tackled by Mascherano himself.
I have to say that Sanchez is really fighting. His ball protection move is very likely to be injured. This is what Sanchez has to do when he falls to the ground with a painful face and covers his foot.
"Sanchez seems to be injured." Seeing that Sanchez was in such pain, the referee immediately signaled the Arsenal team doctor to come in.
Sanchez was lucky and was only flawed after being examined by his teammates, which means that he could return to the court when the pain was relieved.
When Sanchez was receiving treatment from his teammates, everyone's focus was no longer on Mascherano and Sanchez who received yellow cards, because this foul also gave Arsenal a free kick opportunity.
Why is Sanchez working so hard? Isn’t it just to create such an opportunity for his team, or he is creating this opportunity for Li Shou.
When facing Real Madrid, Li Shou took this opportunity to help the team score the first record, thus defeating Real Madrid and entering the finals.
Now, facing Barcelona, which is also stronger than himself, the way Sanchez can do is to put everything on Li Shou, even if he is injured.
Because Sanchez knew that if he wanted to defeat Barcelona, he had to rely on Li Shou's strength and had to rely on Li Shou's ability to win free kicks that he had not lost so far.
