Chapter 94 Breakthrough
Manchester United fans are looking forward to this game, they want to see Manchester United's stars use their crazy attack to rub Arsenal against the floor.

It's not just a battle between two clubs, but also from their history and even the cities they're in.

According to the grievances between Manchester United and Arsenal, in the past ten years, except for Chelsea, which has really risen in recent years, no team can really match the game between Manchester United and Arsenal. The old giants on the field, the stories and battles between them can’t be finished in a day and a night, so the fans cheered so hard for the players. This is a war between the Red Devils and the Gunners. This is a war that happened in England. The north and south are true.

But when the game started, the scene that Manchester United fans hoped for did not happen.

Half an hour into the game, neither side has scored yet.

Not scoring a goal is still a trivial matter, and it is naturally impossible to play the same game as a basketball score in a duel between masters.

But Li Xiaoming's performance in the 15-minute game was quite average.In other words, the performance of both teams is very average.

The two sides fought fiercely in the midfield, and the price paid was that the game was more than exciting but not intense enough.

In fact, after the kick-off, Manchester United did take advantage of this home field advantage to launch a fierce offensive against Arsenal's goal.

And in the process, Li Xiaoming raised his position again.Leave more space in the midfield to Scholes.

However, by Li Xiaoming's side, there were always Arsenal players standing one by one.

Song followed him closely.

No matter how Li Xiaoming ran, it would be very difficult to get rid of Song.

At first, Li Xiaoming caught the ball.Song hit it, and the ball under Li Xiaoming's feet was immediately knocked away, and he fell to the ground at the same time.Although the referee still called the foul, it has to be said that Song's foul location was very particular, and there was no particularly good direct gate position.

So after the football was kicked out by Scholes, it was also picked up from the air by the opponent's goalkeeper.

From then on, Li Xiaoming obviously accelerated the speed of passing and receiving the ball, and then kept running, trying to get rid of Song's defense
But Song was like a dog's skin plaster, sticking to Li Xiaoming's body, so it was not so easy to get rid of it.

He followed Li Xiaoming and ran non-stop, from left to right.Run from front to back.

It perfectly realized Wenger's tactical arrangement where Li Xiaoming went and where he went.

Everyone has seen that Song Shi and Li Xiaoming are entangled, and comparing the two, it is obvious that Li Xiaoming consumes more energy. After all, the defensive players only need to destroy the ball, and the offensive players have to ensure the attack can be successfully completed.The unique physical advantages of blacks are also fully displayed in the confrontation.

"Li Xiaoming seems to be playing football with someone behind his back now. Song's defense is very targeted, and Li Xiaoming can't even move the ball when he turns around. His performance is affected by this..."

He Ping frowned while speaking.

Ferguson on the sidelines also frowned, watching the situation on the court worriedly.

He couldn't be more aware of Li Xiaoming's weakness. This kind of close defense, even if there is no physical contact, forcing Li Xiaoming to run non-stop is also a great consumption of his physical energy.This method may not seem to have any technical content, but it is indeed the best method for a newcomer with poor physical fitness.

So run like this.Zhou Yi's stamina was exhausted and he couldn't even hold on for half the game. If Li Xiaoming was to leave the field, then Manchester United's offense would be greatly reduced.

At the same time, Martin Taylor said at the scene: "Li Xiaoming tried to use his running to get rid of Song, but no matter where he went, there was always such a person by his side, always following him, and Song's defense was very tough. If you don't lose the ball, you can only pass the ball continuously, but this way Manchester United's inlaid offense will be greatly reduced."

Li Xiaoming is obviously aware of this, if he continues to run like this, it may be very difficult to get rid of Song, and he may be completely exhausted, so it is meaningless to do these useless efforts.Li Xiaoming knew very well how much physical energy he had. He had to use every physical energy to the most valuable place, instead of doing unnecessary running and hand-to-hand combat with Song.

And the best way to get rid of this Song is to break through him.Only in this way can Manchester United get the chance to threaten the goal head-on.

A few minutes later, Li Xiaoming got another chance to attack with the ball.

He decided to try again.

But this time he changed the way of solving the problem.Facing Alexander Song's frontal interception, Li Xiaoming wanted to step on a bicycle to sway Song's defense by changing directions and accelerating.Li Xiaoming's cycling is different from that of Robinho and Denilson. His movements are not large, but very fast, the height of his feet is not high, and he almost slides over the top of the football.This kind of fake action is not good enough to watch, but it is more practical, because it is more realistic and very confusing.It will make the opponent really think that he is going to touch the ball.However, this kind of cycling has higher requirements for the accuracy of movements - the closer to the football, it is easy to touch the football, and the fake action becomes a real mistake.The farther away from football, the deception is greatly reduced, and the rhythm that I am good at has also been lost.With his characteristic cycling action, many defenders simply can't react.

After Li Xiaoming took the ball, Song was dazzled by several consecutive cross-balls.Just when Song stretched his feet and was about to stretch them

When Li Xiaoming used his right foot to pretend to touch the ball, his left foot kicked directly to the side of the football. The football avoided Song's outstretched foot trying to steal the ball, and then he jumped up, avoiding Song Xiang To sweep his legs, Song realized that he was passed, and turned around to use his explosive power to chase the ball back, but he found that his body was out of control, and then he lost his balance and staggered to the ground.

This is the first time in this game!He completely got rid of the marking of the midfielder and directly faced Manchester United's back line!
"Rong! Beautiful continuous change of direction! Alexander was shaken to the ground like a clown, what a mess!"

The Manchester United fans, who had been silent in the stands for a while, burst into loud cheers.

They've been waiting for this scene for a long time, and it's finally here!

This is the Manchester United they are familiar with!

Facing the Arsenal defender Vermaelen who came up to defend him, Li Xiaoming pretended to shoot and dunked the football to the left.

Of course, the experienced old central defender Vermaelen is not so easy to be fooled.

When Li Xiaoming swung his foot to make a fake move, he didn't block the shot, but followed Li Xiaoming's next move.He clearly remembered that Wenger said that Li Xiaoming was the player who would choose to pass the ball first and then shoot. He didn't know where Rooney had run behind him, but he subconsciously guarded against Li Xiaoming's next pass. action.

But this time they all guessed wrong.

Li Xiaoming didn't stop passing the ball, he quickly accelerated the ball and rushed into the penalty area.

Vermaelen retreats and fights.

Li Xiaoming stopped abruptly again, another feint, and stopped on the spot.

Vermaelen, on the other hand, distanced himself from Li Xiaoming because of his retreat.

When Li Xiaoming saw the distance, he stopped hesitating and shot directly!
On the edge of the penalty area, he decisively chose a long shot!
Vermaelen turned pale with fright, and it was too late to rush back.

The football flew past him, and he could only look back at the football...

Fortunately, Almunia reacted quickly enough, jumped into the air, and saved the football from the bottom line with a single palm!
"Oh—so risky! But it seems that Manchester United's No. [-] has found a way to solve the puzzle."

Accompanied by the voice of Martin Taylor, there was a huge sigh in the stands, which was the sound of Manchester United fans regretting the attack.

"This is Li's best performance in this game! From catching the ball and turning around to breaking through to overwhelm the pressure of Shandan, and cheating Vermaelen away with fake moves... This breakthrough was done in one go! It's a pity that the last shot was missed by Amu Nia jumped out... but Manchester United's attack seems to be back on track."

Wenger's brows on the sidelines were almost twisted into a rope.

This time, Alexander Song's careless defense was all overwhelmed by Li Xiaoming, and he gave such a good opportunity.

This made him feel very dissatisfied.

And Ferguson smiled at the corner of his mouth, he saw that his disciple had found the golden key to the answer.

Li Qingru screamed in the room, looking very annoyed.

She is by no means the only one. In front of every lit screen in China, many Chinese fans are like her, holding their heads in their hands and sighing in frustration-it is a pity that the goal was not scored.

However, Li Xiaoming, who didn't score a goal, seemed very calm. He knew where Song's weakness was.

He is a fast and flexible player like Song, who is tall and strong and has excellent frontal defense.He is just difficult to deal with, but at the same time, if he wants to break through him head-on, this problem will be solved easily.

Wenger waved his hand on the sidelines, indicating that another midfielder, Diaby, should follow up and defend with Song.

He didn't believe that Li Xiaoming could get rid of the defense of both of them.

Just when Wenger gave the order, Li Xiaoming had already received the ball and just turned around.

Diaby and Song glanced at each other, then rushed towards Li Xiaoming.

At this time, it is natural to go up and stick to Li Xiaoming when he has just turned around and his footing is not stable. Even if he can't directly break his ball, it will be difficult for him to continue to accelerate the breakthrough.Or do some feints.

The best way to deal with this kind of players with good skills is to press close
As long as it is pasted, and then harassed with small movements, or even some movements that move around the scale, it can have a great impact on players of this technical type.

It must be said that Diaby's countermeasures were very correct, and his rich experience allowed him to choose a good timing - at Li Xiaoming's speed, he would bump into Diaby head-on as soon as he increased his speed, and Diaby would put him on it.His height and speed are not at an advantage, and his physical fitness is even more disadvantaged.

But this time, the situation was different.

Diaby pounced on it, but it was in vain!

It seemed that just after Li Xiaoming turned around, he wanted to speed up and dribble the ball, but Li Xiaoming leaned forward and suddenly stopped!Then gently push the ball outward.Dodged this attack.

He didn't really dribble out with the ball!
Fake action!
Diaby missed, he could only watch Li Xiaoming start again and go around him.

Because of inertia, he couldn't directly adjust his center of gravity to chase Li Xiaoming. He could only turn around and chase after the stiffness effect caused by inertia disappeared.

The moment Alexander Song was passed by Diaby, he pounced on him, trying to organize a second line of defense.He is the last link of the team and cannot be broken again.Song is well aware of his responsibilities.

Li Xiaoming directly smashed the ball, smashing the football from the right to the left.

Song turned to rush to Li Xiaoming.

Who would have thought that Li Xiaoming would make another emergency stop!

At the same time, the outer instep of the right foot gently knocked the football in the direction he came from.

Another emergency stop and change of direction!

Song wanted to turn around again, but turning twice in disguise made his center of gravity very unstable. After this change of direction, his foot slipped and fell to the ground.Tall and strong, he once again suffered from lack of flexibility.

Fortunately, Diaby has rushed back.

He directly pulled Li Xiaoming from behind, not wanting Li Xiaoming to speed up.Given a free kick here, at least Li Xiaoming will not be allowed to go straight in. If he is allowed to kill in a straight line like this, no one knows what will happen.

It was as if Li Xiaoming had eyes on the back of his head, and he missed it as soon as he got short!

At the same time, Li Xiaoming started again!

He finally got rid of the interception of the two defensive midfielders, and once again rushed towards Arsenal's seemingly jittery defense line!

After Li Xiaoming caught up with the football, he kicked it back to the right, as if he was going to cut into the penalty area from the other side.

Vermaelen followed suit.Followed the steering and retreated at the same time, keeping a sufficient distance from Li Xiaomingguang.Because the distance is very suitable, his turning range is not very large, so the burden is much smaller, and he doesn't have to be as embarrassed as the previous players.

But Li Xiaoming's change of direction was not over yet.

Seeing that Vermaelen was still in front of him, Li Xiaoming deftly flipped the football back with the outside of his right foot.

Vermaelen continued to turn.Immediately afterwards, he saw Li Xiaoming's body leaning forward suddenly. Was this to speed up his breakthrough?Vermaelen hastily turned around and retreated, trying to get stuck on Li Xiaoming's breakthrough route.But Li Xiaoming didn't rush up to his body, and he didn't touch the ball with his feet!

This is a feint!Vermaelen was taken aback.For the first time, he felt that his height was a burden.

Just took a step back and rushed forward for Vermaelen. As a top central defender, he is not only tenacious, but also very tenacious!

He thought that after Li Xiaoming's fake action, he would immediately make it real, so this time it must be a real action.

Sure enough, Li Xiaoming kicked the football with his left foot.

Then his left foot just slid across the football...

Cycling!Vermaelen's heart skipped a beat.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Li Xiaoming's right foot turn the football to the outside line, and he was about to break through from the outside line!
Seeing this scene, Vermaelen was shocked. He forcibly shifted his center of gravity again, turned around and rushed towards Li Xiaoming.

But he didn't see Li Xiaoming dribbling the ball to the bottom line, but passing him by his side.

what 's wrong?
Vermaelen looked down just in time to see the football slip between his legs...
