Chapter 123 I Don’t Believe It
Lekae didn't have much impression of Sirigu, perhaps because the Italian national goalkeeper, 'young goalkeeper' Buffon, was too famous, but it was undeniable that this guy was also an Italian international.
His ability was absolutely impeccable. He could become an international player in a strong team like Italy, and he had strong ability even if he was not the main player.
But in this game, Sirigu's performance really made Arsenal and Lekae feel deeply daunted.
He made continuous high catches and blocked Arsenal's many shots throughout the first half.
They never thought that this goalkeeper would be the key factor in stopping Arsenal in this game.
"What should I do? I can't score!"
Suarez said rather depressed.
Sirigu's performance was too good.
So good that he felt frustrated in his confidence.
Since the shot was blocked at the beginning, Suarez always hesitated when shooting, which was a manifestation of his lack of confidence when shooting.
This is an extremely dangerous signal for every striker.
And it's not just Suarez, Sanchez and Di Maria's shots were also saved by this guy many times.
It can be seen how amazing Sirigu's performance was in this game.
Lekai put his hands on his waist and spit to the side.
His eyes were fixed on the goal of Paris Saint-Germain, and he gritted his teeth and said; "Keep attacking! This guy can't hold on for long!"
Suarez nodded, and now he had to do this.
Despite the amazing performance of the Paris goalkeeper, Arsenal was still able to break through the opponent's defense and create shots.
So
"Push the shooting area into the small penalty area." Lekai said with a grim smile; "I don't believe it!"
At a long distance, you can react quickly and make a save.
But once the distance is shortened, there is no chance of saving.
Of course, all this must be done before the end of the first half.
Now the Paris defense has been confused by Arsenal, and this is a good time to launch a large-scale attack.
On the sidelines, Wenger also frowned and said, "What's wrong with the goalkeeper of Paris?"
Patres flipped through the technical report and said with a confused look; "His previous performance was normal! There was no such performance at all, so..."
"The state broke out!"
Wenger slapped his forehead.
There are always times in football when some players suddenly break out for some unknown reason.
This state of outbreak cannot last too long, but it can always show shocking performance at this time.
And Arsenal is very unlucky, they encountered Sirigu's outbreak period.
"Only one goal is needed!"
Wenger exhaled and said; "One goal can suppress the goalkeeper's state."
Goalkeepers are different from other positions.
A goal loss has a great impact on them.
This is also the reason why the goalkeeper's state of outbreak cannot last too long.
Standing in the goalkeeper position, you will always lose the ball.
A goal loss is too much of a blow to their spirit.
In addition,
Sirigu's physical condition at this time is not particularly good.
After multiple consecutive saves and high concentration, he will become distracted and even physically slow.
And Arsenal must seize this moment!
Then, score the ball!
To put it bluntly, it means to strengthen the attack!
"Left!! Press down!!"
"Silva!! Get out of the way! You're blocking my view!"
"I'll do it!!"
Sirigu rushed to the left with all his strength. He flicked the ball with his finger, and the ball changed direction and hit the goal post and bounced out.
The Paris defender immediately followed up and kicked the ball away!
"God!! Sirigu!! He is simply a monster!!"
The French commentator exclaimed that Sirigu's performance was simply too good.
They all forgot how many times this guy had blocked Arsenal's shots.
It can be said that when the Paris defense line was almost broken, he single-handedly supported the situation in Paris.
This performance is simply at the monster level.
At this time, Sirigu was also excited.
He was in very good condition. With continuous saves, he felt that he could save the opponent's shot with his eyes closed.
He didn't know where this condition came from, but it was this feeling.
And behind him were the away fans of Paris Saint-Germain.
Sirigu could hear them calling his name.
This also made Sirigu more excited.
Of course, multiple saves also brought some problems.
For example, his palms were shaking. Because he blocked too many Arsenal shots and the buffer support under the saves, his whole arm was a little numb.
But who cares.
This game will be his famous battle!
Moreover, he felt that he could hold on.
Lekai has been paying attention to Sirigu. This guy is in very good condition at this time, and his face is a little red.
The most important thing is that this guy is also very lucky. Almost two of his saves were due to luck.
But it is undeniable that this guy is indeed in a state of outbreak.
However, what Arsenal needs to do now is to break this state of outbreak immediately.
Lekai turned his head and looked at the time.
There are only two minutes left in the first half.
This time point is crucial.
Long shot?
Lekai thinks it is unreliable. In Sirigu's current state, long shots are almost useless.
So, we still have to push the shooting area forward.
To this end, the two wingers must create sufficient conditions.
Sanchez and Di Maria also understand the current situation.
They also know that Arsenal needs them to step up and advance the shooting area.
Push the shooting area to the small penalty area.
At close range, shoot violently directly.
At this distance, no matter how super godly you are, you can be suffocated with one kick!
For this reason, Arsenal mainly distributes the ball to the two wingers.
However, Paris's defense against the two wingers is still extremely tight.
The two tried their best, but still couldn't complete the breakthrough.
Even Cazorla was stared at by the opponent.
It's hard to advance!
At this time, Lekai found Sanchez.
"Let's do this later"
Lekai put his arm around Sanchez's shoulders and whispered.
Sanchez looked a little surprised and said; "I'm not questioning you, but will it really work?"
Lekai sighed and said, "Is there a better way?"
Sanchez grinned.
There is indeed no better way.
"Arsenal's attack has stagnated a bit. It's hard for us to imagine that Sirigu used his hands to block Arsenal's multiple shots and prevent the Gunners from scoring!"
"Under Sirigu's leadership, Paris's state is slowly adjusting and adapting, while Arsenal's state has declined due to the overly intense attack."
Andy Gray sighed; "The situation has changed, Arsenal really needs to be careful!"
Richard also said seriously; "I feel that Arsenal should stop attacking and then consider more about the second half."
"It's still Sirigu in the second half!" Andy Gray spread his hands and said; "Do you have any ideas?"
Richard: ""
The two commentators are helping Arsenal to make plans, but Arsenal obviously did not follow their ideas, but continued to show an offensive state.
It seems that they want to smash this iron wall all at once.
However, the method they adopted is still the breakthrough of the two wingers.
"Van der Wiel, go and limit him!"
Thiago Silva shouted, directing the full-back to limit Sanchez.
He admitted that Arsenal's attack was very fast, and the rhythm change was also extremely frightening.
But after many defenses, they have gradually figured out Arsenal's rhythm and playing style, and they are playing more and more smoothly.
Of course, all this is thanks to their goalkeeper Sirigu.
It was Sirigu who helped them get this precious adaptation time.
Sanchez waded towards Van der Wiel step by step with the ball.
Van der Wiel lowered his center of gravity to prevent the opponent from continuing to advance.
At this time, Sanchez suddenly flicked the ball to the left, trying to break through from the inside.
"Don't try to run!"
Van der Wiel yelled and followed immediately.
At this moment, Sanchez suddenly stopped.
Van der Wiel followed closely.
But the next second, he saw someone rushing past Sanchez.
And Sanchez also completed the pass at the same time.
Van der Wiel was a little confused for a moment, but he reacted quickly.
"No. 4!! Kai!! Come on!!"
This shout directly broke the Paris defense.
Lucky had not entered the penalty area, and Paris had adapted to the rhythm of others.
But now Lucky suddenly rushed in.
What did he want to do?
How should he do it?
At this moment, the Paris players were a little confused and blank.
