Chapter 105: Sunset without Afterglow

"Kay!

The second goal!

Arsenal is going to contribute to the Allianz Arena! "

"Bayern Munich faces the biggest challenge of the season at their home court. The powerful Gunners want to overturn everything here!"

Andy Gray cheered loudly.

Not only Andy Gray, but Richard on the commentary table was also vigorously waving his fists. Although Ferguson and Wenger did not make much movement, their expressions were also full of recognition of Arsenal.

"In the confrontation between two powerful Champions League teams, tactics and lineup adjustments are important, but the two sides of the game are players, and the performance of the players on the field is the first element!"

"Arsenal have a player who can turn everything around!"

Ferguson couldn't help but admire.

Lucky's performance has exceeded expectations and is already quite perfect.

As a midfielder, he scored two consecutive goals to help Arsenal complete the comeback.

From falling behind to equalizing to taking the lead, Lucky became the most critical player in Arsenal's lineup.

Lucky's identity as captain will also maximize this morale.

Ferguson is a head coach who emphasizes mental attributes, just as he has emphasized Manchester United's iron-blooded spirit many times.

In his opinion, Arsenal now has all the elements needed to win the championship.

Looking at Arsenal now is like looking at the Gunners that swept across Europe two years ago!

In just two years, after experiencing huge ups and downs and changes, Arsenal is still on the right path.

At this time, Ferguson couldn't help but start to envy Wenger.

Thinking of what happened at Manchester United and watching the changes in Arsenal, he was indeed a little sour.

On the sidelines, Mourinho and other Arsenal coaches were also celebrating crazily.

Mourinho even started playing slide!

It had been a long time since he had celebrated so intensely.

But now he couldn't control himself, he needed to vent his excitement.

Mourinho's eyes were filled with light.

This is the team he needs, this is the team he wants to build.

Everything is so perfect!

Never lose track at critical moments!

This is why he admires Lucky so much!

"Arsenal scored a penalty, Bayern needs to make some changes!"

The German commentator's voice was full of frustration. He looked at Heynckes on the sidelines. He hoped that the old coach could come up with some solutions.

But under the camera, Heynckes kept shaking his head.

Even an experienced coach doesn't know how to make adjustments when faced with such a situation.

This is already Bayern's best lineup.

But even so, he still ordered several players to warm up and prepare to come on as substitutes at any time.

Even though there was no hope, he had to do something.

This is better than waiting to die!

"Bayern made adjustments and made two substitutions in a row."

Ronaldo and Koeman exited.

Robben and Ribery came on as substitutes.

This Robbery combination, which once made the whole of Europe fearful, appears on the court again.

Although Robben and Franck Ribery are not as good as they were then, they still have a little bit of hope in the hearts of Bayern fans.

"Heynckes placed his last hope on the two veterans. Robben and Ribery have seen a very obvious decline in form since last season. This is related to their age. It has been difficult for them to support 90 minutes. game, but in the second half, these two players were still able to perform adequately!”

"We can look forward to Robben and Ribery helping Bayern bring some different changes!"

The two ran onto the court, and Lucky also saw Robben.

Robben came straight to the opposite side of Lucky and winked at Lucky mischievously.

Lucky also responded with a smile.

Old rival!

In the past, Robben made Lucky look a little embarrassed on the wing, but now Lucky is no longer the stupid young man he used to be.

One is starting to go downhill, and the other is in his prime!

At 67 minutes, the game restarts!

Bayern kicks off.

Due to lagging behind, Bayern's offense became more intense.

Especially after the substitutions, the two wingers with slightly more physical fitness can give Bayern a certain impact.

Robben's inside cut is still an extremely sharp weapon, but he needs to get past Lucky first!

The ball came to Robben's feet.

Just like the scene back then, Lucky quickly approached.

Robben did not pass the ball, but relied on Lucky to control the ball and look for opportunities to break through.

Robben first took a step forward and then turned around.

Throughout the process, Robben protected the ball very well and completely isolated Lucky.

Lucky didn't have a chance to stretch out his feet, but his center of gravity was not shaken.

The two of them stepped towards the outside line almost at the same time, preparing to sprint.

Robben waded for the ball, trying to beat Lucky with speed.

But after taking the first step, his expression suddenly changed.

Lucky, who was supposed to be behind him, was suddenly half a body ahead. After his shoulder got stuck, Robben couldn't pick up his speed.

This is a sign of insufficient explosive power.

Judging from this breakthrough, Robben's explosive power can no longer compete with Lucky.

Lucky easily squeezed out Robben and controlled the ball.

Robben still wanted to press, but Lucky was not a risk-taker. He made a decisive move and let Robben miss.

Looking at the slightly embarrassed Robben, Lekai's expression showed a bit of strangeness.

Perhaps because he was too focused, this easy steal made him feel a little surprised.

At this time, he remembered that Robben was no longer the Robben of the past.

His body could no longer condense the huge explosive power like before.

"Robben is ready to break through! Turn around and dribble the ball, Robben"

As soon as the German commentator finished speaking, he saw Robben being squeezed out by Lekai.

This also made his voice stagnate, and there was a helpless whimper in his throat, which eventually turned into a sigh.

"Robben~~~~ He still can't resist the erosion of time!"

It's not just Robben.

Ribery's situation on the other side is similar.

And compared to Robben, Ribery is a player who needs more speed.

However, when Ribery and Bellerin were sprinting, not to mention that the latter was squeezed out, everyone's eyes showed a sigh.

No matter how powerful the players were in the past, they could not resist the decline of their physical condition.

This also shows that football is a sport for young people.

Robben and Ribery's wingers failed to achieve the expected effect.

Although they played very hard, they could not bring more help.

In the 77th minute, when Bellerin took advantage of a long-distance sprint, he watched Ribery following behind him being gradually pulled away.

When the once lightning-fast winger stretched out his hand and pulled Bellerin down, Bayern Munich fans had to admit that they had an aging problem.

"Arsenal got a set-piece in the frontcourt, but compared to these, what is more embarrassing is that we must admit that Robben and Ribery are no longer capable of high-intensity games!"

Robben and Ribery could not help the team.

And Arsenal will not let them go because they are veterans or because of sentimental issues.

This is a formal game, and this is also a Champions League game.

Any vacancy and loophole will be used by the opponent.

Arsenal launched a more intense attack on the wing.

They seemed not satisfied with the one-goal lead.

Time passed little by little.

In the 80th minute, Arsenal finally made substitutions.

Ramsey went off, Lukay went off.

Koscielny came on, Wilshere came on.

Lukay's departure relieved Bayern Munich fans.

Lukay put too much pressure on them, not only the defensive problems, but Lukay's two shots were enough to make them collapse.

It can be said that Lukay played a very critical role in this game.

Without Lukay, Bayern might have laid the foundation for victory.

But now they are in a backward state.

After Lukay went off, Arsenal took a defensive stance as a whole.

And in the 88th minute, Mourinho finally made the last wave of substitutions.

Giroud went off, Lukaku came on.

Lukaku had been away from the court for a long time, and Mourinho let Lukaku go up to find his form.

And in Mourinho's view, the outcome of the game has been decided.

Arsenal can maintain the lead.

Mourinho even made a victory gesture and showed off his power in the Allianz Arena.

It turns out that if you don't set any flags, you will be easily slapped in the face.

The injury time, which is the last few seconds of the game, can even be said to be the last attack.

Bayern Munich got a corner kick opportunity.

This is also one of the few corner kicks they had in this game.

When the ball was kicked out, Lewandowski crossed the sky of Munich and helped Bayern score the second goal, successfully equalizing the score.

Arsenal lost the victory that could have been won in the last time.

This goal made the whole Allianz Arena boil.

At least, they equalized the score in the last time.
