Dekho na, kaise ek chingari bharat kaise jungle mein aag ban jaati hai… Arsenal aur OL Lyonnes ke beech Women’s Champions League semi-final ka pehla leg, sirf ek match nahi tha, yeh toh ek ‘haar ke jeet’ ki kahani thi. 26,758 fans ke samne Emirates Stadium mein jo hua, usne sabko chakkar mein daal diya. Pehle half mein Lyonnes ne Germany ki joshila Jule Brand ke zariye goal karke sabko shock diya, par doosre half ka ‘mahaul’ hi badal gaya. Christiane Endler ki apni hi goal mein giree, Oli Smith ki late winner ne Arsenal ko jeet ka maza chakhaya… lekin kya yeh jeet unke liye ‘kala jaadu’ ban gayi hai? Agle week France mein doosra leg khelna hai, par kya Arsenal apni ‘profligacy’ ka price chukayenge? Ya phir Lyonnes apne ‘unbeaten’ record ko barbad karne par majboor ho jayengi?
Kal raat ka match sirf ek football game nahi tha, yeh toh ek ‘conspiracy’ ki tarah tha. Lyonnes ne pehle half mein Arsenal par ‘pressure’ banaya, 72 goals score karne wali team ne sirf 9 goals khaye the, par kya unka ‘unbeaten’ record yahan bhi kaam aaya? Germany ki Brand ne pehle half mein goal karke sabko shock diya, par doosre half ka ‘mahaul’ hi badal gaya. Endler ki galti ne Arsenal ko jeet ka raasta dikhaya, par kya yeh galti accidental thi? Ya phir koi ‘hidden agenda’ tha?
Arsenal ke liye yeh jeet ek ‘relief’ thi, par kya yeh ‘relief’ unke liye ‘disaster’ ban jayegi agle week? OL Lyonnes ke manager Jonatan Giráldez ne kaha tha, ‘last year was last year, this year is this year’, par kya unka yeh statement sirf ek ‘bluff’ tha? Pehle half mein Arsenal ne ‘familiar territory’ mein enter kiya, par doosre half mein unki ‘patience’ aur ‘clinicality’ ne jeet dilayi. Oli Smith ki late winner ne sabko chakkar mein daal diya, par kya yeh winner ‘destiny’ thi? Ya phir koi ‘hidden plan’ tha?
Lyonnes ke liye yeh match ek ‘wake-up call’ tha, unki ‘unbeaten’ record par ek ‘dent’ laga, par kya unka ‘coherent’ team is ‘dent’ ko repair kar payega? Pehle half mein unki ‘clinicality’ ne sabko impress kiya, par doosre half mein unki ‘defence’ ne ‘calamitous error’ kiya. Endler ki galti ne Arsenal ko jeet ka raasta dikhaya, par kya yeh galti ‘fate’ thi? Ya phir koi ‘hidden agenda’ tha?
