Chapter 4 Eighty: The Alone Lu Xiaopang

Silence, absolute silence!

Quiet, absolutely quiet! !
At this moment, the Old Trafford stadium is silent, and needles can be heard!Almost all of them had the same expression—mouths wide open, looking blankly at the field!
"GOOOOOOOOOAL!!!" After a long time, even the commentator didn't realize it!
"Smash!!! Li's shooting action is like a standard tennis-style high-block smash!!! Simply!! It's so wonderful!!"

"My God, even Fellaini's big foul didn't prevent the goal from being born." The stadium commentator at Old Trafford was also very unbelievable!

"Two to zero!! No, zero to two!!! With Li Zihan's brace, Arsenal have gained a two-goal lead in their mortal enemy's territory. Now the future is bright for Arsenal. "

The referee's bald headed Webber was also stunned for a moment. He wanted to call Fellaini a foul and give Arsenal a penalty, but before he blew the whistle, he saw Li Zihan score the ball.

If he hadn't been the referee and couldn't be subjective, when he saw this goal, he wanted to yell - this goal is so fucking beautiful! !
So Weber simply blew the whistle, and then pointed to the middle circle with a very clean gesture-the goal is valid! !

Wenger stood on the sidelines and shook his fist vigorously.The media's constant "trouble" with Arsenal these days also makes the professor very aggrieved, and now he can finally let out a sigh of relief.

Taking a deep breath, Wenger seemed to want to keep the grass-scented air in his body.

He clapped his hands encouragingly to the players on the field, and the professor turned around and sat on the coach's bench. Now he can relax a bit, at least Arsenal should be fine in the first half-well, he actually I was worried that my teammates would run over to hug me to celebrate again, my old waist couldn't stand their tossing like this!

This time Li Zihan did not hug Wenger, after confirming the goal.He jumped up vigorously from the ground, only at this time did he find the grass stains on his mouth.Li Zihan lifted the jersey, wiped off the grass stains and dirt around his mouth, then smiled at Fellaini, raised his right hand and raised his index finger, shaking it.

The taste of irony and provocation is self-evident!

Li Zihan never takes the initiative to provoke trouble, but if the other party initiates trouble, he is never afraid of trouble.It's like the admonition given to him by the director of his orphanage when he left the orphanage to go to university and society alone - "Don't make trouble, but don't be afraid of trouble if there is trouble!"

Fellaini didn't notice Li Zihan's movements, he just stared blankly at the goal behind his teammate De Gea.

What the hell, can you score goals like this? ? ! !

"Manchester United and Arsenal have always been one of the best parts of English football, and now this new Arsenal and the post-Ferguson Manchester United have inherited the traditions of their predecessors. It is my greatest pleasure to make the opponent unhappy!! "

After Arsenal celebrated the goal, Webber called Fellaini to him and said something to him while the players returned to their positions.

"Oh, the referee Webber called the Manchester United midfielder Fellaini in front of him and gave a verbal warning to the Belgian international. This approach is undoubtedly correct. After all, the game has only been going on for 7 minutes. Fellaini has made quite a few fouls against Li Zihan, but in places where everyone can't see, I don't know how many small moves he has made."

"This is for the protection of the players, but Fellaini's action is too big. Just take the push of Li Zihan from behind just now. If the goal is not scored, give Fellaini a red card." It’s not an exaggeration!”

Webber has already given Manchester United a lot of face at home. Fellaini's action just now has no problem for Webber to give him a replacement yellow card.

When the camera lens scanned Ferguson in the stands again, the old man did not shake his head helplessly at this time, but frowned.

Obviously now he doesn't have the mind to think about how awesome Li Zihan is. What he thinks about now is the situation Manchester United is facing.In 7 minutes, they fell behind by two goals, and it was still their home court.The game is not over yet, so we don't know what the final result will be.But even if Manchester United equalizes the score or overtakes a goal in the end, the future challenges for the Red Devils are still very big.Because Arsenal, who have two away goals in hand, will be very active after returning to home in the second round. They only need a one-to-zero victory to eliminate Manchester United.

And this game counterattacked two goals and ended the game four to two.Even Ferguson didn't dare to think about such a result. If Manchester United is still so good, then their ranking this season will not be seventh.

Moreover, in the last knockout round, Manchester United almost stumbled against the weak team Olympiacos. If they hadn't returned to the home court in the second round, maybe this game would have nothing to do with Manchester United.

And the Manchester United players on the field obviously understand this. Rooney is not the captain at this time, but this does not prevent him from standing up to awaken the fighting spirit of his teammates.

"We want to attack! We need to equalize the score! Let the Arsenal people understand that this is our home field, this is Old Trafford!!" Rooney said to his teammates at the kick-off!
Sure enough, after the game restarted, Manchester United launched an offensive after knowing their shame and courage.

Rooney passed the ball straight to Van Persie, but Van Persie didn't seize the opportunity. Before he could take the ball and make a move, the ball was stabbed by Flamini.

Seeing that his teammate Van Persie was still not in good form in this game, Rooney felt that he could not give the ball to "Robin Man" to waste the opportunity.

When there is no reliable teammate in the frontcourt, Rooney has to be a little bit alone at this time, because at this time the only person who can most threaten Arsenal's goal is Xiaopangdun himself.

But he was too far away from the opponent's goal, and he had no chance to enter the penalty area and shoot.Because Ramsey has been following him closely, once he reaches the core area of ​​​​the frontier of Arsenal's penalty area, the Welsh midfielder immediately posted it!
In the end Rooney could only try a long shot from the front of the penalty area!
The quality of the ball was very high, and it flew directly from the penalty area to the goal.

Although there are many criticisms of Szczesny from the outside world, when he is not a decoration after all.Take off directly and confiscate Rooney's long shot!

At this point in the game, the problem of Moyes' formation was exposed.

Many people wonder why Moyes gave such a starting lineup.The offensive ability in the midfield is very weak. In fact, in this case, breakthrough players like Shinji Kagawa and Nani should make a breakthrough, and maybe they will find an opportunity.Even the teenager Januzaj is not bad, Cleverley is not good at offense, and Carrick is more defensive.And after Fellaini was blasted by Li Zihan a few times, he couldn't see how capable he was.

As for Valencia, he didn't even have the courage to shoot.And Van Persie was hardly seen in the audience. After several injuries this season, the Dutchman's state has been ups and downs.

And Rooney in the frontcourt can't stand alone. Many times he retreated to the front of the penalty area to help the team defend!

Manchester United, who originally wanted to play steadily, was very embarrassed after Li Zihan scored two goals in a row.If you defend, you can't defend; if you attack, you can't get out.
No.20 In the second minute, Rooney took the ball in the middle and made a very beautiful breakthrough.He directly resisted Flamini who was grabbing with his body, and then continued to dribble by himself.

Ramsey was in front of him, and Lu Xiaopang made a pass to Van Persie, but his body swayed and rushed past the Welsh midfielder.Ramsey, who wanted to use his body to block the opponent, was helpless when he met an opponent with Rooney's body. He was directly squeezed away by Lu Xiaopang.
After Rooney broke through Ramsey, he went directly into the penalty area. Facing Koscielny's defense, Lu Xiaopang moved the ball to the left, and it seemed that he wanted to cut in from between Koscielny and Modesat. Strongly inserted in the neutral position!

Koscielny immediately stretched out his foot to poke Lu Xiaopang's ball, and then used his body to block the opponent's only way inside.

Seeing that the French central defender was fooled, Lu Xiaopang immediately snapped the ball back, and then twisted his body to pass from Koscielny's left side, which is the outside line.

Lu Xiaopang, who seized the opportunity, immediately swung his leg and shot, and the ball ran towards Arsenal's goal again.

Szczesny's positioning is very good, he blocked the angle of Rooney's shot.When the ball came over, he threw it directly.

Although he failed to throw the ball in the end, he still threw the ball to the bottom line, making contact with Rooney's very threatening attack this time!
Szczesny stood up and roared at the defense in front of him, expressing his dissatisfaction.He said that the opponent's attacking midfielder dribbled the ball from near the midfield into the penalty area and completed a very dangerous shot. This was due to the poor defense of his teammates.

Indeed, after scoring two goals in more than ten minutes, Arsenal's players are inevitably a little bit smug, and they are prone to not being able to do their best when defending.
After all, the World Cup is coming. In this situation, no one wants to fight head-on with a rival like Manchester United. It is thanks to the absence of the quadrennial World Cup due to injuries?
Wenger also spotted complacency in the squad, and he immediately sensed danger.The professor once again came to the coach command area on the sidelines and expressed his dissatisfaction with the players on the field.

What he expressed to the team is very obvious, if anyone wants to come down and rest, he will immediately make a substitution!Anyway, Podolski, Vermaelen, Rosicky and Arteta are all eager to play.
Taking advantage of this dead ball opportunity, Wenger also called Ramsey and Li Zihan to him, gave instructions to the team, and asked them to convey their meaning to the whole team
