Chapter 157 Failed Revenge

It was scored by Arsenal in the opening ten minutes, which made the fans on the scene nervous. Hub Stevens also stood up and began to watch the game carefully.

But soon something bad happened again.

In the 21st minute, Atsuto Uchida strained his calf while defending Podolski, and Schalke 04 had to accept a passive substitution.

Stevens played Hogel, who played as a defensive midfielder, to play as a guest at right back.

In the past, Stevens also asked Hogel to play right back. Although Hogel is not very good at assists, in terms of defensive ability alone, Hogel, who is physically strong, is more reliable than Atsuto Uchida.

Schalke 04 suffered injuries and passive substitutions, which made Arsenal's morale even higher and their offense more fierce.

In the 28th minute, Podolski swayed Hogel, who had just played, on the right, and made a comfortable cross.

Giroud, who was at the front of the penalty area, beat Matip to take off, made a diving jump, and headed the ball into Schalke 04's goal.

"fuxk!!!" Stevens on the sidelines couldn't help but swear.

In this game, Podolski was in excellent form and continued to create threats on the right of Schalke 04. Arsenal's two goals were initiated by Podolski from the wing, and by the way he injured Atsushi Uchida people.

However, when Stevens sent Hogel on the field, it seemed that he hadn't played right back for too long, and he couldn't stand it at all. As soon as he went up, he was swayed by the opponent and sent an assist.

If it continues like this, maybe it will really be beaten by Arsenal at home.

Li Chenglong also knew that his performance on the right was very average, so he began to penetrate into the opponent's penalty area, using himself as a standard forward to run.

In the 34th minute, Jermaine Jones sent a through ball in the middle. Li Chenglong shook off Koscielny in the penalty area and successfully received the ball. Smash the ball, knock the opponent down to the ground, and then really kick.

"Beautiful~~~Li Huang knocked down the opponent's defender!!" The German commentator immediately shouted loudly.

Li Chenglong did a good job in the previous series of actions, but he didn't handle the last kick well. He chose to volley vigorously, but he couldn't completely suppress the ball. The ball flew out of the baseline against the crossbar.

What Li Chenglong did made all the fans hug their heads and sigh, and the bald captain Hewedes also came over and patted Li Chenglong on the shoulder, "Relax, even if we lose 02, we will still be ahead of them."

Li Chenglong also felt that his state of the game was not very good. It may be the sequelae of the hat-trick on the weekend. In short, the shooting feels not right.

Just at that moment, if he chooses to push the shot, the effect may be better.

Although he missed a very good opportunity, Lee Chenglong didn't have any mentality problems. This game is not an important game that must be won, and not scoring a goal is nothing at all.

After the game restarted, Li Chenglong continued to play normally.

In the 44th minute, Draxler made a breakthrough on the left, passed the opposing defender Sarnia and swept the ball to the front of the penalty area.

Li Chenglong lightly picked the ball in front of the penalty area with his toes, and picked the ball into the penalty area.

Arsenal goalkeeper Manoni chose to attack, intending to attack early to defuse the threatening pass, but Huntelaar was faster than him, ran to the position first and pushed with his right foot, the ball rolled over Manoni's side and into the Arsenal goal inside.

"goooooooooooal~~~~~~"

"Schalke~~~ Get back a goal!!"

"Goal from Huntelaar, assist from Lee, they pulled one back before the end of the first half!!"

"This goal is very critical. Whether to take the ball behind the score by two goals or return to the locker room with the score behind by one goal, this will have a great impact on the second half of the game."

It is really crucial to get a goal back, which makes the pressure on the Schalke 04 team a lot less.

The whole team celebrated wildly in the stadium together, and soon the first half of the game was over.

At halftime, Stevens didn't ask for much.

In this game, Arsenal has obviously recovered their form. Facing an Arsenal that has recovered their form, Stevens did not ask for a reversal of the score.

If it can be reversed and won, of course it is the most perfect.

Even if it can't be reversed, then try to have a draw, and refresh the undefeated record is not bad.

And even if you really lose to Arsenal, as long as you don't lose three goals, it is acceptable.

The second half of the game had just started, and Arsenal, who had successfully completed the half of the game, ran into trouble.

Giroud felt discomfort in his thigh during a header fight and appeared to have pulled a muscle.

However, after Arsenal's team doctor checked on the field, Giroud continued to stay on the field and did not make substitutions. I don't know if Giroud himself is fine or because there is no one to change.

At present, there is only one striker Chamark on Arsenal's bench. Gervinho is already injured, and there is indeed no reliable person on the front line.

Giroud's little accident seemed to have discouraged Arsenal, and the crazy offensive momentum of the first half of the game was completely gone.

This is also the normal state of Arsenal in recent years. They often strengthen halftime in some key games, and then suddenly wither, and are taken away by a wave of games.

Arsenal couldn't play offensively, so Schalke 04 slowly took control of the situation and began to threaten the opponent's goal.

In the 56th minute, Jackie Chan kicked the ball in the penalty area and the ball hit Mertesacker's arm, but the Italian referee Rizzoli thought it was the ball hitter, and Mertesacker didn't intend to open his arm intentionally. So no penalty was awarded.

This is somewhat of a balance. After all, Arsenal's penalty kick that could be awarded or not awarded in the first half, he did not award it.

Seeing that Schalke 04 began to have a chance, Huber Stevens also quickly made a substitution.

In the 64th minute, Stevens played Barnetta and replaced Holtby.

This is a frequent substitution for Schalke 04 this season. Barnetta played as a left midfielder and replaced Draxler as a midfielder.

But this time, Holtby seemed very unhappy, and ended up with a displeased face. He just touched the hug of assistant coach Xu Buscher and left.

"Holtby seems to be dissatisfied with being replaced, he wrote all his thoughts on his face." Holtby's performance immediately attracted the attention of the commentator.

Although Holtby was unhappy, Stevens' substitutions were effective.

In the 76th minute, Draxler made a wall-hitting cooperation with Jackie Lee in the midfield and then distributed the ball to Barnetta on the left. The new Barnetta was energetic, quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and directly cut inside to hit the goal .

The kick was of high quality, and the ball went straight to the dead corner, and Arsenal goalkeeper Manoni was beyond his reach.

"Baneta came off the bench, Schalke equalized, they equalized!!"

"There's still time, they can come back against Arsenal, they're fully capable of it, they only did it once in the league at the weekend."

In the Bundesliga on the weekend, Schalke reversed and won after being 2 behind. Not only the commentator knew this, but Arsenal also knew it.

They also seemed to be a little scared, and began to play more and more conservatively.

Soon, Wenger also made substitutions, but all he replaced were defensive players.

Just like what the German media analyzed for Schalke 04, it is necessary to avoid being double-killed by Arsenal in the two rounds.

Now this situation also applies to Arsenal. They also need to avoid being double-killed by Schalke 04, otherwise there may be problems in the next game.

So Arsenal started to be conservative, and Schalke 04 failed to find a chance in the next one, and the score of 22 was kept to the end.

※※※

As soon as the game ended, the Schalke stadium was full of cheers, as happy as winning.

"Schalke drew 22 at home with Arsenal. This is a tie from two goals behind. It is not easy."

"And more importantly, there was no loss in this game, which brought Schalke 04's cross-season unbeaten to 19 games, creating a new unbeaten record in the history of Schalke 04."

The narrator explained the reasons for the cheers at the scene.
