The entire stadium was silent.
The game has only started for less than a minute!
The football flew into Galatasaray's goal!
Galatasaray fans were a little confused.
Didn't they make a fuss all night and keep all these Arsenal players from resting?
In this case, where did their status come from?
And Galatasaray is also a regular in the Champions League.
They usually use these tactics against visiting teams coming to Istanbul.
Also achieved very good results.
Many well-known teams in Europe often have a hard time coming here.
but
This goal made all Galatasaray fans a little confused.
However, they quickly reacted, and the boos were louder than before.
Galatasaray fans seemed exasperated that they did not see the expected slump from Arsenal.
Instead, he saw his team losing the ball.
This made many Galatasaray fans who were looking forward to it a little angry.
Huge boos accompanied all kinds of noise, making the whole stand shake.
"What an exaggeration."
The reporters from Long Kingdom were stunned by this scene.
The capacity of Turk Telekom Stadium is actually not large.
But the noise it created made people's scalp numb.
Even if two people are sitting next to each other, they have to shout into their ears to talk to each other.
Galatasaray fans weren't the only ones angry.
And their players.
Before the game started, the atmosphere in the home team's dressing room was relaxed.
They feel that Arsenal's players who have been harassed all night will definitely be exhausted and unbearable during the game. They will teach Arsenal, the Premier League's top team, a good lesson at home.
But the result.
At the beginning of the game, Yello's goal was like a blow to the head of Galatasaray's players, making the pleasure of "busting the top of the Premier League" they were looking forward to disappear.
Instead, there was a mixture of shame and anger.
The situation was not what Galatasaray expected, which made their players' mentality a bit explosive.
Ever since.
After the game resumes.
Galatasaray's defensive actions were quite large.
Fouls occurred frequently and play was frequently interrupted.
However, the referee gave a verbal warning at most and did not play a card.
On the one hand, the game has just begun, and the referee does not seem to want to set the tone of the game by playing cards too early.
On the other hand, this is part of the home field advantage.
In the stands, Galatasaray fans were also encouraging their players.
"Shovel him! Shovel their ankles!"
"Kick the Dragon Country man's leg off!"
"kick him!"
"Yes! That's it! Fuck these British sissies to death!"
Behind Wenger's coaching bench, there is a group of extremely fanatical Galatasaray fans.
Their words made Wenger frown.
Sometimes they even use English, deliberately so that the Arsenal players near the stadium can understand.
This made Wenger even more helpless, and he had to complain to the fourth official first.
The fourth official was helpless.
"We are just UEFA staff. If they say something excessive, the most we can do is write it in the match report. Other than that, we have no other way."
The fourth official also said helplessly.
If written into the game report.
Maybe Galatasaray's home side will be punished.
But this is all hindsight.
This is definitely not what Wenger wants. If possible, he certainly hopes to shut up these Turks immediately.
In such a fanatical atmosphere.
Wenger was really worried that the game would get out of hand.
There is a saying.
When you think something will happen, it will definitely happen.
Wenger was just worried that such a pace of play would lead to injuries to his players.
Results soon followed.
This scene happened.
Eighteenth minute of the game.
Full-back Sagna stepped forward with an assist. He crossed with Yelo. Yelo pulled out the space towards the wing. Then Sagna cut laterally and moved towards the center. Then he was rushed up by Galatasaray. The players were shoveled to the ground solidly.
The referee's whistle sounded and Galatasaray committed another foul.
But this time, Sania did not scream and roll on the ground, but held her ankle and remained motionless on the ground.
Players with some experience know this.
If after being fouled, he screams and rolls around and slaps the turf desperately, it is most likely nothing will happen. At most, it will be a bruise, and even the pain is just fake.
After all, you have to attract the referee's attention.
But if it was like Sania, lying motionless on the ground with her ankles covered, then things might be serious.
"Damn it!"
Wenger jumped anxiously when he saw this scene.
Some Arsenal players rushed to the referee immediately.
Ye Luo had a premonition that something was wrong, so he ran towards Sania.
"How are you? Bakari."
Ye Luo bent down and looked at Sania.
"I don't know. My ankle hurts."
Yeluo saw Sania holding her ankle
"Can you move?"
"cannot."
"What the fuck!"
Ye Luo suddenly cursed.
At this time, the team doctor also came up. He only looked at it briefly, then made a gesture to enter the stadium on a stretcher, and then made a gesture towards the sidelines to make a substitution.
Wenger was already furious when he saw the team doctor's gesture off the field.
But now he didn't have time to go to the fourth official to protest, but was busy arranging substitute players to play.
The team doctor knelt down and looked at Sagna and said: "You can't last in this game."
Sagna asked directly: "How long will I be out injured?"
“It’s hard to say”
The team doctor looked at Sagna's ankle with a very pessimistic expression on his face.
This made Sania feel a little frustrated.
For athletes.
There's nothing more frustrating than getting injured.
Injuries are the natural enemy of any player.
Sagna finally had a healthy period of being able to start for a long time this season.
As a result, he was injured by a shovel this time, and his main position may be gone.
Even he is almost thirty, and an injury at this time may be a major turning point in his career.
When Sania was being carried on the stretcher, Ye Luo also stood up. His face was gloomy and he was very unhappy.
The extra-game behavior of those Galatasaray fans last night had already made him very unhappy.
Now he has tackled and injured his teammates.
This made Ye Luo even more angry.
He certainly won't go to Galatasaray's players out of anger.
but
He will definitely let the Galatasaray team remember this game forever!
He patted Sagna on the shoulder, then turned and walked into the court.
Substitute player Jenkinson came on as an emergency substitute. This period of time was very embarrassing for about 20 minutes in the game.
Because the substitute players did not have time to warm up at this time - usually, the substitute players will be arranged to warm up on the ground for about 25 minutes to prepare for emergencies on the field.
At twenty minutes, the warm-up effect before the game has already cooled down. At this time, I can only seize the time to warm up my body as soon as possible.
Moreover, other Arsenal players will try to avoid letting the football develop to Jenkinson's side during this period, allowing him to warm up his body as soon as possible on the court.
After Ye Luo got up, he went to find the referee.
Under pressure from Arsenal's players.
This time the referee finally took the card.
A yellow card.
But if the Arsenal players had a choice, they definitely wouldn't want to get this yellow card.
The game had only started less than twenty minutes ago.
He was forced to replace a main player and wasted a substitution spot.
Such a loss cannot be made up for by a yellow card.
Moreover, the warning effect of this yellow card on the opponent is almost zero.
Such a foul on the ankle is just a yellow card.
And even encouragement for Galatasaray players.
Wenger on the sidelines was quite dissatisfied with this, and his fierce protest at the fourth official's side actually earned him a yellow card.
This made the Galatasaray fans in the stands very proud.
"See? British guy! This is the consequence of messing with us!"
"Shovel them! Shovel them to pieces!!"
"Fuck them!!"
One after another ferocious faces appeared in the stands.
"This is really hell."
"Southland Sports News" reporter Zhong Dayong murmured.
The other Long Kingdom reporters also had serious expressions on their faces.
Now they finally understand the significance of the word "Hell's Home Field".
Compared with the home stadiums of the teams in the five major European leagues.
The atmosphere here is almost beyond the scope of football.
A barbaric, bloody, and bloodthirsty atmosphere pervades here.
Everyone here has that ferocious beast-like look in their eyes.
If there is no barbed wire blocking it.
These reporters had no doubt that these people would rush down with Arabian scimitars and kill all the enemies they considered.
Ye Luolai took the free kick.
He took a direct shot.
Maybe it was because he was too angry and used too much force.
The football did not fall after rising into the air, but flew directly to the stands. It caused a burst of laughter from the Galatasaray fans in the stands.
Ye Luo, on the other hand, had a solemn expression.
He didn't look regretful and frustrated because of the missed opportunity.
The commentators were talking about Sania's injury.
Sagna's assist ability is very strong.
When Arsenal's frontcourt attackers only have Cazorla, Yello, and Giroud.
Arsenal's wing attack sometimes requires full-backs to press up to occupy the wing space and stretch the opponent's defense.
Sagna's offensive ability can obviously bring a lot of help to Arsenal.
Because it's on the other side.
Neither Monreal nor Gibbs, who plays left back, is as sharp as Sagna on the offensive end.
Now Sagna is injured, which is obviously a blow to Arsenal.
And it's not just this game.
It will have an impact on Arsenal's next games.
In addition, Galatasaray's tactics also caused a lot of trouble for Arsenal. Their foul tactics and the crazy atmosphere in the stands brought great psychological pressure to Arsenal.
Although Arsenal were one goal ahead.
But what if they get kicked and hurt another person next?
Therefore, many commentators believe that Arsenal will restrain themselves on the offensive end and slow down the pace of the game as much as possible.
Even if they are equalized or even overtaken, as long as they don't lose by a huge margin, they will be able to reverse their debt when they return to their home court.
But it was different from what they imagined.
Arsenal still attacked aggressively.
Twenty-fifth minute of the game.
Yelo broke through and caused a foul on the wing, and Arsenal won a free kick.
This was actually intentional by the Galatasaray players.
They are not madmen with red eyes. Naturally, they know exactly where Ye Luo is most threatening when taking free kicks, so they try to avoid fouls in the middle, while on the wings, they seem a bit unscrupulous.
The location of this foul was near the edge of the penalty area and near the baseline.
This is a corner kick with a relatively large angle.
It stands to reason.
This ball is usually driven into the penalty area, allowing the players to grab points.
So Cazorla originally wanted to take the penalty.
But Ye Luo waved his hand directly: I'll do it!
Cazorla backed away.
He did not have the idea of "Yeluo stole my right to take the free kick".
Because Cazorla knows it.
The only core of the team is Ye Luo, who has absolute unlimited firing rights.
He can shoot from anywhere.
Anyway.
Since Ye Luo decided to do it himself, there is a high probability that he will shoot this ball directly.
Behind Ye Luo.
It was a rain of coins - many Galatasaray fans took coins out of their trouser pockets and threw them off the field.
This forced the security personnel on site to run over with shields in hand, forming a shield array behind Ye Luo.
This scene left many Long Kingdom reporters quite speechless.
You know, you know, this is a football game.
Those who didn’t know thought there was a fight.
You can't attack Ye Luo by throwing coins.
Galatasaray fans can only respond verbally.
The shield can block coins.
But it couldn't stop the sound.
"Go to hell! Long Guoguo!"
"Your butt is so round!"
bad language.
Middle finger.
All kinds of debris flying down like raindrops.
All confirm the name of "Hell".
Yelo placed the football and took a few steps back. He turned his head and looked at the hysterical Turks behind him.
He curled his lips, showing contempt.
The scene was televised around the world.
Many Turks were so angry that their mouths were smoking.
"This damn guy is looking down on us!"
thought the Turk.
But they don't think about it either.
What exactly did I do?
"Arsenal got a free kick that was in a relatively biased position. It was not a good opportunity to shoot directly because the angle was too small, but looking at Yello's posture, it looked like he was going to take a direct kick. Although I was right Ye Luo is very confident in his shooting ability, but from such a small angle, the probability of directly hitting the goal is very low, so Ye Luo is more threatening to go to the penalty area to grab points."
Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said with a frown.
Yelo stood in front of the ball, staring at Galatasaray's goal, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle.
The ball is indeed a bit wide.
Looking over from his position.
The goal is very narrow and there are many people in the middle, so there is not much space for a direct goal.
The goalkeeper can cover most angles simply by standing at the near post.
So a small angle is really not a good shooting position.
But Ye Luo had his own ideas.
He was staring at the gap between the goalkeeper and the crossbar.
That's right.
If the football is close to the ground, there is really no chance at all.
But the game of football is actually a game of utilizing space.
Space is three-dimensional.
A football can fly overhead.
Before he played, he had already thought about which position he wanted to play.
It's right behind the goal.
The right angle between the doorpost and the beam.
Only there.
Only then can he have enough distance to make the football he kicked fall.
And that's the only area beyond the goalkeeper's reach.
But you have to hit that point accurately, and at the same time, you have to keep the ball speed.
That would be very difficult.
Even Ye Luo is not completely sure.
What is required is very fine control.
This requires keeping yourself highly focused and calm enough.
The free kick I took before was taken because I was too angry and not calm enough.
Ye Luo was adjusting his breathing.
Take a deep breath and calm yourself down.
The abuse behind him was blocked by him.
His heart gradually calmed down, and it seemed that only him, football, and the latter were left in the world.
The referee's whistle broke this quiet world.
The hustle and bustle of the stadium is like a flood that has found a crack, trying to exploit every opportunity.
Ye Luo takes a run.
Staring at the football.
The instep of his right foot hit a certain point on the football that Ye Luo had been watching for a long time.
The football soared into the air.
Breaking through all the din of dirty talk.
Pierced the solidified space.
brush!
In just the blink of an eye, it flew over the head of the Galatasaray goalkeeper.
That happens to be the highest point of this parabola!
Galatasaray's goalkeeper soared into the air.
His arms stretched out, trying to lift the football out of the air.
However, he did not touch the football.
After the football flew over the tip of his finger, it started to fall!
If the upper body section of this parabola rises gently, then when it falls, it falls sharply!
A parabola that is not symmetrical.
“Leaf ball!!!”
The commentators couldn't help but exclaim!
The football fell from the air after passing over the goalkeeper's head.
direct.
Fell into the net from behind!
“GOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!”
"Yelo! Yello!! Oh oh oh! The thirteenth goal in the Champions League this season!! Two to zero!! Arsenal are leading two to zero in the away game!!"
After scoring the goal, Yelo rushed directly to the stands and made a shut-up gesture to the Galatasaray fans in the stands.
There wasn't much thrown from the stands at this point.
Because before this
These Turks lost everything they could.
Wenger rushed out of the sidelines excitedly!
Two balls!
This game is stable.
Two away goals can already ensure that Arsenal will reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League!
The entire stadium seemed a little quiet at this time.
At that moment when the football flies into the goal.
Galatasaray fans seemed to be suddenly grabbed by the throat.
It's like a bunch of quacking ducks suddenly dropped on the fireplace.
