Chapter 87
After the ball broke out of the penalty area, it was first controlled by Arsenal's No. 8 Arteta. He turned around with the ball and faced the pressure and calmly passed the ball to Wilshere on his side.
Arsenal took advantage of the situation and launched a quick counterattack from the backcourt to Manchester United's frontcourt.
The players in the backcourt of Manchester United were like a big net, trying to intercept Arsenal's counterattack before the penalty area.
But how could the beautiful football that is in good shape this season be blocked so easily?!
After several consecutive imaginative passes, the ball hit the front of Manchester United's penalty area.
At the moment when Welbeck passed the ball, Sanchez suddenly inserted from behind McNair. The
Chilean star broke into the Manchester United penalty area. Facing this high-altitude ball, the Chilean star jumped up with his waist and abdomen, and headed for the goal.
""It's bad."
The faces of the Manchester United backfield players were all green. Although Sanchez was not tall, his header scoring rate was surprisingly high.
"I'm here!"
Just as the ball was headed into the far corner of the goal by Sanchez, De Gea, like a god descending from heaven, stretched out his body in the moment before landing.
De Gea's huge body made his wrist block the path of the ball, and the ball bounced back.
"Watch out for the second penalty!"
Smalling didn't wait for the Manchester United players to relax, and shouted as he rushed to the point where the ball bounced, which was in front of Sanchez.
Sanchez shot directly without stopping the ball, but when his foot touched the ball, he did not exert force directly, but pulled the ball sideways.
Smalling, who came to defend and tackled, slid past the ball, and Sanchez chose to push the ball into the far corner of the goal.
Gods cannot descend to earth twice in a few seconds. Facing this ball pushed into the far corner, De Gea could only sigh. The ball rolled over the goal line and Sanchez rushed to the corner area.
With one goal and one assist, the Chilean star has obviously become the most dazzling presence in this game.
""What are you doing?! Why don't you protect the rebound?!"
De Gea got up from the ground and roared at his teammates in the back line.
Manchester United's starting players lowered their heads, leaving only De Gea's roar echoing among them.
……
"Rooney, what are you hesitating about?! Wouldn't it be better to just score the goal early?!"
On the Sky Sports channel in the UK, Manchester United star York Dwight was very dissatisfied with the replay of Rooney facing a great shooting opportunity but not scoring the ball right away.
"Rooney's handling of this ball was indeed substandard."
"Is it because of physical discomfort? Or is it because I haven't adjusted my condition well?"
"Manchester United is now 0:2 behind, and if they want to win now, they must make adjustments in key positions."
In the Sky Sports live studio, several other guests expressed their opinions.
……
After receiving the pass from Fellaini on the right, Di Maria moved forward. Facing the Arsenal players who were returning to defense, Di Maria slowed down the ball to find a passing line. Then he noticed that Chen Huan was in an open position on the left wing and was asking for the ball.
"I don't know why, but I always feel relieved if I pass the ball to Chen."
Thinking so, Di Maria shook his body and kicked the ball in the air with his left foot, making a big arc and flying in front of Chen Huan.
"Go and mark Chen Huan!" Arsenal's defensive core Ramsey retreated while directing his teammates to deploy targeted defenses against Manchester United players.
Chen Huan calmly received the ball in the open space and faced Chambers who followed him to defend. He dribbled the ball and accelerated.
"——Swish!"
"Oops……"
Chambers watched Chen Huan pass by him like a gust of wind, and gritted his teeth and tried his best to stop him.
""Guard against his right foot!" Ramsey shouted to Chambers as he retreated.
The Welsh star, who was good at both offense and defense, had already known that Chen Huan used his right foot to handle the ball through watching his videos and scout reports.
Chambers couldn't keep up with the speed at all, so he could only aim at the opponent's right foot.
"I see……"Chambers gritted his teeth and chased Chen Huan, while staring at Chen Huan's right foot.
While Chen Huan was running with the ball at high speed, he kept looking towards the middle to find the passing line. Rooney had entered the penalty area, but in front of him was the Arsenal central defender Monreal who was in good form today.
Di Maria was lurking in the far corner of the player, but was also closely watched by Gibbs.
Near the midfield, only Carrick had space to receive the ball, but it was not a good choice.
"Go it alone."
Chen Huan suddenly used his right foot to dribble the ball inwards, and sure enough, Chambers, who was defending behind him, adjusted his center of gravity and made a tackle.
"Swish——"
At the moment when Chambers made the tackle, Chen Huan kicked the ball towards the middle with his right foot.
"Oops, let him cut inside……"
Chambers' face changed drastically, but he was powerless to stop it.
Mertesacker immediately rushed towards Chen Huan and shouted,"Leave it to me!" Mertesacker lowered his center and leaned outward to block Chen Huan's right-footed shot.
"Big guy, you want to defend me alone?"
Chen Huan stared at the tall 198cm high center back with a smile, constantly adjusting the direction of his shoulders to trick the opponent into adjusting his center of gravity.
But this German main center back who just won the Brazil World Cup trophy is very experienced. Facing Chen Huan's constant fake moves, he stood firm.
As long as he doesn't stretch his legs!
As long as he doesn't let the opponent trick him out of his center!
Then he won't make mistakes!
And one of the most essential attributes of a center back is not to make mistakes under high pressure!
"Do you think you can stop me like this?"
Chen Huan gritted his teeth and shifted his center of gravity toward his supporting foot.
"Don't even think about getting past me!"Mertesacker's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his spirit was also highly tense.
Ramsey was returning to defense, and as long as he waited for Ramsey to return to defense, he could destroy the ball.……
"Ah?!"
Mertesacker's face suddenly changed.
In front of him, Chen Huan adjusted his center of gravity to his left foot, and his body was like a bowstring. He pushed the ground with his left foot and dribbled the ball with his right foot.
"Swish——"
Chen Huan moved to the right very quickly
"Damn it!" Mertesacker immediately pushed the ground and moved forward.
"I've been fooled!" Chen Huan smiled. After Mertesacker moved sideways, he used his"Bale Speed" and"Super Fast Step Frequency" skills to move the ball to the left again with extraordinary explosive power and step frequency.
""Ah?!" Mertesacker was thrown off the spot.
This also meant that he had lost his defensive position.
Chen Huan moved away without making too many adjustments, and directly pushed the ball into Szczesny's crotch with his right foot.
The football passed between Szczesny's legs and rolled over the goal line.
