Football nukes: a pound buys a club

At the post-match press conference, Zhang Chong mercilessly criticized the referee on duty: "In my opinion, the offside penalty was extremely amateurish, and it caused us to fall into unnecessary hard work. Fortunately, we I still won this game with the efforts of the boys, and I would like to express my gratitude to my players.”

Klopp groaned for a long time and said: "Congratulations to the opponent for playing a great game. We also need to go back and summarize our performance in this game."

Zhang Chong secretly laughed in his heart, the German seemed unconvinced by the defeat!

But it doesn't matter, there will be more opportunities to fight in the future!

Four days later, Bury ushered in the League Cup game, away to Norwich.

Norwich has always played the role of an elevator, and there is a certain gap in strength from Bury today.

Therefore, after the rotation, Bury still easily defeated his opponent [-]-[-].

But there was also bad news for this game.

Chen Ming suffered a muscle strain during the game and will be out for a month.

This means that he will not only miss the league game against Arsenal, but also miss the next world preliminaries!

On October 10, Bury challenged Arsenal away.

This is the second match between Zhang Chong and Wenger.

Before the start of the game, when the two shook hands, Wenger said with a smile: "Zhang, as I said, we will meet in the Premier League soon."

Zhang Chong also smiled: "Mr. Wenger, it seems that you can be a prophet."

Wenger shrugged: "At my age, retirement is a good time to be a prophet."

Zhang Chong smiled immediately and said, "Compared with you being a prophet, I hope you will always be the head coach!"

Wenger laughed: "The future belongs to you young people!"

After the two exchanged pleasantries, the game officially began.

The Emirates Stadium can hold 6 people, and this game is almost full.

You must know that Arsenal's ticket price is the most expensive in the Premier League, with an average of fifty pounds.

Even considering the factor of season tickets, this game can bring them at least 200 million pounds in income!

This made Zhang Chong's mouth water.

But this can only be thought about, how can the small city of Bury afford such a large stadium!

While he was thinking wildly, there was already a situation on the field!

After an unsuccessful attack by Bury, Cazorla got the ball in the midfield. I saw him take two steps and go straight to a through ball!

Sanchez-san squeezed Klaus away with his thighs, and controlled the ball before Shik. In the space where Shik was fighting and retreating, he directly took a step across and kicked the goal!

The ball was fast and urgent, and the angle was still very tricky. Sanchez felt almost inseparable as soon as he took a kick.

Just as he was about to celebrate, Mendy jumped up high and flicked the ball away with his fingertips!

This is really an extreme save!

Sanchez held his head in his hands with an expression of disbelief.

Wenger on the sidelines also had a surprised expression on his face. The explosive power and wingspan of this black goalkeeper are amazing!

And Cech is getting older, maybe this is a good successor candidate!

In this game, Arsenal are in good shape.

Cazorla has a strong sense of presence in the midfield. Under Kanter's pressure, he can still make a very smooth ball control and get rid of it, and then send a precise pass.

Zhang Chong remembers that in that timeline, Cazorla was sidelined due to Achilles tendinitis in October 2016, and did not play much in the next two seasons, which greatly reduced the strength of Arsenal's midfield.

But now it's October 2016, 10, and it looks like Cazorla's fortunes have changed too!

Although as an opponent, Zhang Chong doesn't want the opponent to have such a strong presence, but he also doesn't want to see a midfielder of this level ruin his career due to injuries.

And Arsenal, because of his existence, will have better results, right?

No. In the 203rd minute, Cazorla once again sent a diagonal pass to transfer. Walcott on the right made a direct pass after receiving the ball and passed the ball to himself three seconds later.

Cheng Sichu could only do his best not to be thrown too far away by him, but he still couldn't stop him from passing the ball!

Da Giroud in the penalty area leaned against Maguire, rubbed back with a header, and threw the ball to the back!

Although Dajirou's shooting is average, the fulcrum effect is still very strong!

Sang patted his thighs and rushed to the horse, and shot with a shovel!

But Mendy once again made an extreme save!

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to block, and blocked the shot from Sang's thigh again!

Klaus hurriedly cleared the ball and Bury escaped!

Sanchez couldn't believe his eyes. This shovel shot was almost on the line of the small penalty area, and the ball was not slow. How did the opponent's goalkeeper do it?

Mendy made an extreme save here, and Bury's counterattack over there has also arrived.

After Gnabry got the ball in the frontcourt, facing Monreal's defense, he made a few fake moves, passed him easily, and then cut into the penalty area!

When Koscielny came to defend, he pushed lightly, Antoine Hill inserted at high speed, and shot from a small angle!

Cech is still alive, and he threw the ball very quickly!

The ball just landed at the feet of Mesias. He followed up with a supplementary shot, but Mertesacker in front of the goal blocked the ball out of the baseline!

The pace of the game in the first half was fast, and there were endless exciting scenes, which made the fans mesmerized.

But the offensive content of the two sides is different. Bury mainly relies on passing through the midfield quickly, and then uses the personal ability of the frontcourt to create opportunities; while Arsenal pays more attention to the connection of the midfield, and Cazorla completes the possession of the ball. Assignment, and then complete the end of the offense through two explosive points on the wing.

Relatively speaking, Arsenal has more opportunities and creates more threatening offenses.

But today, Mendy was like a god, he just kept all of Arsenal's shots away!

No.404 minutes, Arsenal got another good chance. Sanchez got a pass from Cazorla on the left, forced Klaus to break through, and went directly to the bottom line into the penalty area.

Shik hurried over to defend, but Sanchez flicked his ankle and passed the ball back in an inverted triangle. At this time, a figure rushed over in front of the penalty area, the god of death Ramsey!

When he met the ball, he slashed with his foot on the ground. The football was fast and urgent, and he went straight to the lower left corner!

Ramsey knew that the opponent's goalkeeper was 1.9 meters seven, and this kind of tall goalkeeper was generally slow to get off the ground, so he deliberately chose a lower left corner.

And this ball was played with a very high quality, the football was flying close to the turf, and the track was heading towards the dead corner. It was a very difficult ball for the goalkeeper to handle!

But this is still not a problem for Mendy, he kicked the ground, stretched his right hand as hard as he could, and threw the ball out!

The cheers of the home fans who were about to exit came to an abrupt end.

Wenger on the sidelines also sighed depressingly.

At the end of the first half, with Mendy's outstanding performance, Bury was not scored by Arsenal, and the score was still zero to zero!
