Although Di Maria was a little tired, he still chose to persist in the game.
Because the Champions League represents the highest level of competition, no one is willing to lose in this arena.
Other players, including Paris Saint-Germain, were not depressed because of this, and they quickly bounced back.
The game has reached the 73rd minute. After the football restarted, the two sides still did not reduce the intensity of the confrontation.
Everyone is doing their best for the game.
Arsenal took the lead in making substitution adjustments. Lacazette was replaced and Haaland was replaced.
Zhan Jun was a little surprised when he saw this scene and said: "The substitution made by coach Arsene Wenger was a bit quick. I think it was Lacazette's condition in today's game that was a bit poor, so he let young forward Haaland come on as a substitute. "
"Haaland is Arsenal's new addition this season. He is very capable, has good body and speed, and can shoot accurately. Although he has only played a few games for Arsenal, many people from the outside world have already noticed him."
With the fully-fit Haaland coming on the field, Arsenal's intensity in the frontcourt instantly increased.
After Arsenal seized the ball, Fang found Haaland with a long pass.
Facing a long pass, Harland first blocked Kimpembe behind him, then stopped the ball with his chest, firmly pressing the football in front of him.
Then, Haaland knocked the football to Saka, who came from the wing to meet him, trying to hit the wall.
However, as soon as he turned around, Kimpembe was still stalking him and almost scratched his jersey.
Harland was speechless for a moment. Is this a football match? Still wrestling?
Harland immediately gave up running and simply stood there with his hands open. Let Jin Pengbei feel comfortable.
"Beep——"
The referee decisively whistled a foul on Paris Saint-Germain.
Arsenal got a set kick in the frontcourt, but this position was a bit far from the penalty area. Xhaka took the penalty and did not pose a threat to Paris' goal.
Although there was no goal this time, it has been proved that Haaland's appearance can pose a threat to Paris' defense.
Therefore, Paris' defense did not dare to press too hard, because Haaland was left in the half here, and Martinelli would also step forward at any time to provide support. Paris must pay more attention to this.
This time, Haaland directly involved Paris' defense line, causing Paris' midfield and frontcourt to lose the support of some teammates.
Arsenal's defense pressure is indirectly reduced.
Because the opponent's full-back did not dare to move in and instigate,
As a result, Mbappe and Di Maria on the two wings will have less support, and the corresponding breakthrough changes will also be reduced.
As a result, Paris seemed to be surrounding the attack, but the result was loud thunder and light rain.
Arsenal's defense stood firm, and the midfielders were working hard, grabbing and covering, making Paris rarely have the chance to threaten the goal.
At the 86th minute of the game,
Paris attacked Arsenal's penalty area three times in a row, and finally broke through the gate guarded by goalkeeper Leno with difficulty.
This time it was due to Arsenal's passing error.
Verratti intercepted the pass with a run, and then decisively kicked a pass from the right near the midfield.
Mbappe suddenly withdrew, jumped high in the back of the penalty area, pressed Gabriel, and pushed the football into the goal.
The score is 2:2!
However, Zhan Jun was surprised, "Isn't this ball offside? Just now, PSG's attack failed and Arsenal intercepted the ball. Then Verratti counterattacked and intercepted Arsenal's pass. And Mu Bape hasn't come out of the penalty area yet."
Sure enough, Arsenal's defenders raised their hands to indicate that the goal was offside.
At the same time, the camera was shown to the linesman, who had already raised the offside flag.
The live broadcast began to replay the moment before the goal, and Mbappe was indeed alone in the small penalty area with the goalkeeper. After Verratti suddenly made a pass, he retreated into Arsenal's defense.
The referee did not hesitate and ruled the goal offside.
But the home fans didn't care so much and immediately booed in protest against the black whistle.
Although the goal was disallowed,
But Mbappe is not frustrated;
A strong fighting spirit surged from the bottom of my heart again.
He ran quickly and called on his teammates to actively attack together. Didn't dwell on the disallowed goal at all.
Fortunately, the Arsenal team did not relax, and they were still able to maintain smooth passing in the face of the opponent's overall grab.
As soon as Fang Fang returned to his own half to catch the ball, his back was suddenly hit, as if he had been hit by a truck and fell to the ground.
The teammates next to him, Xhaka, Thomas, and Martinelli, immediately reached out to complain. It was too obvious to hit someone from behind.
The referee's call was spot on and the whistle sounded at the same time.
Fang Fang looked up and found that it was Mbappe's foul.
It seems that Mu always refused to admit defeat and did not stay in the frontcourt for a walk. Now he is fighting in the midfield.
However, Mbappe did not reach out to pull him up, obviously unwilling to admit defeat.
Fang Fang didn't mind and stood up on his own.
He is so young and energetic. If he didn't have this energy, Mr. Mu might just disappear into the crowd, and he would still be nesting in a small bedroom covered with Mr. Luo's posters.
"hiss"
Suddenly, when Fang Fang stood up, he took a breath of cold air.
I feel like something is wrong with the muscles on the back of my right thigh.
He tried taking a few steps, but he didn't know if his reaction was slow or if it was an illusion.
Zhan Jun saw the live broadcast, noticed this detail, and said in surprise: "Is Fang Fang injured? Don't let this happen. The Asian qualifiers will be in late September, and Fang Fang's absence due to injury is a major loss."
However, he persisted for a few more minutes and finally couldn't help the pain in his thigh. He sat helplessly on the ground and made a substitution gesture to the sidelines.
He knew that he was indeed injured, and if he didn't get off the field, there might be big problems.
Head coach Wenger frowned and quickly asked Ronaldo on the bench to prepare to play.
"Don't have a big problem, it's really fatal." The head coach prayed in his heart.
At the same time, the team doctor quickly came on the court with a small box. After communicating with Fang Fang for a while, he helped the opponent off the court.
"It seems that there is some muscle damage. We will have to go to the hospital to discuss the specific situation." The team doctor explained to the head coach.
Wenger nodded solemnly, patted Fang Fang on the shoulder, and warned: "Have a good rest and don't feel any psychological pressure."
Fang Fang nodded, thinking that the muscle injury should not be a big problem, and he would only miss a few games at most.
After a brief cold treatment, he did not leave the field immediately. He wanted to see with his own eyes whether the team could win a strong matchup.
However, he is now the core of the team. When he sat on the bench, his teammates could not help but ask questions.
The equation is still a bit at a loss, and I feel like I have really become a sick patient.
And on the field,
The entire Paris team is still working hard. If you don't fight until the last second, you will never know whether a miracle will happen in the game.
In the 89th minute of the game, Neymar broke away from the defense, dribbled the ball inside, and was fouled by Thomas. Paris Saint-Germain got a free kick.
Mbappe takes the free kick.
Although he has not scored a free kick so far, Neymar didn't say anything.
Thirty yards away from the goal, in the right direction, Mbappe opened his long legs and kicked hard.
The football flew over the wall in an instant, but in the right direction and was blocked by the goalkeeper with both hands.
Neymar grabbed the ball's first shot again and forced a volley, but it hit the defensive player.
The whole audience was in an uproar, but Paris still failed to equalize the score.
However, even if the free kick was blocked, Paris did not give up the attack.
Even though there were only 4 minutes left in the game, they moved the defense to the midfield and still attacked hard.
Even if they fight until the last second, they must let their opponents know that the Parc des Princes can make everyone feel fearful.
Paris has not lost the game yet, because after this game, they can still go to the Emirates Stadium to get revenge there.
The entire Arsenal team is united and working hard to maintain the victory in this game.
The last four minutes suddenly became very long, and both teams tried their best to win the game.
There was not a clean spot on anyone's jersey.
The people on the field were panting from the fight, and the people off the field were also extremely worried.
Both teams fought for several scoring opportunities. Harland almost scored a goal alone in the end and pushed the football to the far corner, but was thrown out by goalkeeper Navas.
Haaland missed the first Champions League goal of his career.
Then, the referee blew the whistle to end the game, and the score was 1:2! Arsenal won an important victory.
They are firmly ranked first in Group E of the Champions League.
The moment the whistle blew, the entire Arsenal team felt a sense of relief, and then couldn't help but smile with joy, shaking hands and hugging their nearest teammates in celebration.
After seeing the game end, Fang Fang finally got up and left the field, limping away with the help of the team doctor. He still has to go to the hospital.
The whole Paris team was speechless, squatting on the ground, or putting their hands on their hips.
Mbappe looked around, shook his head and walked off the field. After passing the interview mixed area, Mbappe did not stop and went straight to the locker room.
In the end, it was Neymar who came out for the interview on Paris Saint-Germain, and he also thought about having to come out as a substitute to face the camera.
"It's a pity that we didn't win the game, but everyone worked hard today. I hope we can beat Arsenal next time we go to the Emirates Stadium."
"About Fang? He is indeed a very powerful midfielder. To be honest, I just heard his name before the game, but I didn't expect his skills to be so good. I hope his injury will not be too important. I wish him the best of luck in winning the Copa Award, he deserves it."
"Who will win the Ballon d'Or? I don't know. I hope professional media judges can choose the best candidate."
On the other hand, head coach Wenger once again emphasized the roughness of the game in the post-match press conference.
"Although there is no problem with the referee's penalty in this game, we can still see a lot of fouls by the opponent. If I hadn't seen a football on the field, I would have thought they were playing a wrestling game. I hope everyone can be friendly to technical players. Some. For example, many people will criticize Neymar for diving, but I think he is right. Only by doing this will everyone realize the aggressiveness of fouls, which can easily shorten the career of a technical player. This is a Unfair way to play.”
"Is Fang Fang injured? I don't know yet. Now I can only pray that he will have no major problems."
After the game, outside media took pictures of Equation going to the hospital.
Arsenal fans outside are very concerned about his injury and have left messages on Arsenal's official account. So much so that they originally won against the strong team Paris, but it turned out to be irrelevant.
After all, it is Arsenal's core midfielder who is injured. If the injury is serious, it will affect the team's subsequent results.
Soon, Fang Fang checked out the results at the hospital, and Arsenal’s official account also released specific injury reports in a timely manner.
"Equation suffered a hamstring injury and is expected to miss a month of competition."
This absence is neither short nor long.
As a result, the next day's Champions League news included Arsenal's core injury.
"Fortunately among the misfortunes, the core of Arsenal is only out for a month. I hope they can survive this period of time."
——"The Times"
"With one goal and one move, Fang Fang conquered the Parc des Princes with his performance. He is already a hot midfield star throughout Europe."
——"Team Daily"
"Arsenal must get rid of its dependence on the Oriental as soon as possible. After he went off injured, Arsenal's midfield obviously lost control."
——"Daily Mail"
"The 70 million release fee for teams other than the Premier League is a huge temptation for the giants in major leagues. They will compete to introduce Oriental players next season."
——"Daily Telegraph"
"If Equation can win the Copa Award, he will create new history and become an example for all Asian players to learn from. I hope he can recover and return to the court soon."
--"Yangcheng Evening News"
"Tottenham Hotspur got another draw in the Champions League. Compared with Fang's hot performance, Sun's performance already seems a bit mediocre."
——"Sky Sports"
Early the next morning, the entire Arsenal team flew back to London.
Fang Fang was admitted to one of the best hospitals in London and stayed in a high-end ward.
Because he doesn't have a servant at home and it's inconvenient to walk, he can just ask the nurse to help.
During this period, naturally many people came to see him. Naturally, he couldn't remember how many people there were. It just felt like he didn't have a good rest for a few minutes.
There are club teammates, head coaches and assistant coaches, international students with complicated status who seek help through connections, and of course Yang Ling, Lin Qiaoxin and others.
Including Helena also came, but she said that Mrs. Awei had been busy with something and couldn't come over.
Finally, in the evening, Huang Taixi, who had been staying in the room, had time to talk to him about work matters.
"It's a coincidence that you got injured. The Asian qualifiers will start in a few days. The person in charge of the men's football team has already signed you up. It seems you can't go back." Huang Taixi said with a smile.
Fang Fang sighed, "There's no other way. I originally wanted to go back and play, but it's a pity."
Huang Taixi disagreed, "Don't think too much if you can't go back. According to the news I got, you have a high chance of winning this year's Kopa Award. Then go to the award ceremony and enjoy this honor."
Seeing that what he said was true, Fang Fang replied: "Don't worry now, just in case there is an accident."
