Chapter 406 Tyrannosaurus rex savior, veterans don't die!

Corner kick from Manchester United.

Xiao Wang: "Kwa...launch...Maguire!!!"

"Hey! It's almost there!"

"Ma Kui's header skills are definitely good, brothers."

Just like Xiao Wang, countless Manchester United fans regretted that Maguire's header over Saliba was just a hair's breadth away.

However, Arsenal, who were slightly shocked, had already changed their mentality before the game, and subconsciously began to adjust their playing style on the field.

When the pre-match public opinion and predictions were overwhelmingly inclined to Manchester United to win the championship, Arsenal was the weak side. Their preparation mentality was to keep the tie and win the championship upset.

And at this moment with two goals in hand, this group of young people in the arsenal couldn't help but desire a big victory, a wild victory, and completely destroy their opponents with more goals.

This mentality is dangerous, for both sides, but for the audience, it makes for an extremely exciting moment of confrontation.

In the 8th minute, Odegaard took a free kick from the right side of the penalty area and dropped it into the penalty area. Fu Anjianyang headed the ball from the right side of the small penalty area. A single punch came out, and then Casemiro made a big foot clearance on the penalty area line.

Chen Xiaoliang rushed forward, but Zinchenko, who was left behind, got the ball first and kicked it to the right to Saka.

Saka took a few steps forward, and while his high point hadn't retreated, he crossed the lob again.

This time Maguire was in a good position and pushed the ball directly. Rice and Milinkovic competed for two points. Neither of them touched the ball, but they fell to the ground at the same time because they collided with each other in the air.

Referee David Cooper signaled the game to continue without any penalty.

It was Casemiro again, this time he found Chen Xiaoliang's position, and kicked the half-high ball forward.

Chen Xiaoliang ran forward a few steps to get the ball, rubbed the outside of his right foot forward without pausing, the ball bypassed Zinchenko who was jumping up, and then made an external spin from left to right, and flew to the top at the top In front of Benzema in front.

After passing the ball, Chen Xiaoliang himself rushed forward. At the same time, Kwa and Rashford on the left and right sides also pressed forward at full speed.

It was Saliba who was behind to defend Benzema. Although the little French fellow was thrown away by Benzema's sudden start, he did not run far and caught up with Benzema from behind.

Age is always the biggest enemy of a player. This ball was changed 5 years ago, and Saliba could not catch up with Benzema, who was still in his prime.

Benzema was helpless, knowing that if he continued to run, he would only be caught up by Saliba. Even if he controlled the ball at that time, he could only lead his teammates to keep up, wasting a counterattack opportunity in vain.

He didn't hesitate, and tried to shoot a curved ball about 7 meters outside the penalty area, hoping that the ball could bypass Ramsdale, who was standing in front, and spin into the goal.

Ramsdale did not make a save. For a moment, all the people watching the game held their breath.

Regardless of the position of these fans, everyone is praying in their hearts whether they will score or not. Only Ramsdale and Benzema have already seen that the rotation strength of the ball was not enough when the ball was shot just now. It is very likely that it is off the column.

As expected, the ball missed the right post by about half a meter.

Benzema stopped. After all, he was 36. The sprint just now cost him a lot. Panting heavily, he turned his head and gave Chen Xiaoliang a thumbs up.

Chen Xiaoliang applauded him, but still gestured to show that next time there is such an opportunity, don't force it, you can pass it back and organize it.

While pressing heavily, while missing counterattacks, the game became more and more open and fierce.

Rice frantically followed Chen Xiaoliang in order to defend the team's lead and his rare goal.

Arteta emphasized more than 30 times before the game that as long as Chen Xiaoliang is contained, Manchester United will lose 75% of their offensive efficiency.

As for how this 75% is calculated, maybe he doesn't know, but these players under him believe it 100%.

In the 17th minute, Chen Xiaoliang forcibly squeezed away Rice's defense on the right side of the midfield, and moved forward after receiving the lateral transfer of the ball from Kwa, who was walking inward from the left.

Then, before Zinchenko came up, he directly kicked up a long-range shot from a position 39 meters away from the goal. Ramsdale saw the ball coming in forcefully, and the trajectory was not as traceable as a curve ball. It seemed a bit He didn't dare to catch the smell of the elevator ball directly with his hands, but blocked it with his palms.

The ball landed at the feet of Benzema on the right side of the top of the arc. The French veteran took another shot. The ball was blocked by Gabriel from the bottom line, and Manchester United won another corner kick.

At this time, the shooting data of the two sides happened to be 6 to 6, and the shots were 3 to 4. Manchester United had one more shot.

Maguire, Milinkovic and Casemiro pressed again, leaving Wan-Bissaka, Luke Thomas and Lima in the backcourt.

Kwa took a tactical free kick. Chen Xiaoliang suddenly moved out from the right side of the penalty area to catch the ball, then turned to face Zinchenko, and cut the ball with his left foot.

Rice and Amadou Onana rushed forward immediately. Everyone knew that although Chen Xiaoliang's left foot was reversed, his ability to play the ball was better than that of many left-footed players, and the distance was completely within his reach. Within range, the two surrounded them, one left and one front.

What Chen Xiaoliang wants is to disrupt the formation in the penalty area.

And the best way is for him to hold the ball nearby and use his strong sense of presence to force opponents to come out to defend him, reducing the defensive pressure on teammates in the penalty area.

He didn't notice Rice coming from the front. On the contrary, as soon as Amadou Onana, who jumped from the edge of the penalty spot, started, Chen Xiaoliang started to step.

The sudden big strides to dribble turned into small adjustments. Everyone knew that Chen Xiaoliang was about to hit the ball, but what he did was to inhale, wave his hands, and swing his left leg back sharply to exert force.

"Block!" Rice knew he was too late, and yelled at the nearby teammates, just like playing a MOBA game where he was chased and beaten by the opponent and had only a small amount of blood left. Even though there were no teammates nearby, he still yelled. Will shout to teammates, "Come and help" and other words for help.

It was too late and then soon, Onana listened to it, and subconsciously put his hand on his chest on one side of his body, as if to block the long-range shot with his life!
When Chen Xiaoliang touched the ball with his left foot, he pulled back and rubbed the ball towards the back post. At first, even Ramsdale thought it was a shot, but the members of the Manchester United training team, whether it was Kwa on the field, Rashford is still Cesco and B Fee off the field, and they can see that this is a pass!
Maguire, the man who was abused by the young Chen Xiaoliang over and over again in the extra training group, endured the taunts of the fans day after day, but chose to stand up again and again, started at the back and rushed towards the far post go.

He took off high, although his weight dropped from 100 kilograms to 91 kilograms, and he lost nearly 20 kilograms, but with this weight and a height of 194 centimeters, he is still a giant to other players on the court.

What's more, what's being subtracted is fat, but his big head won't shrink in the slightest.

Maguire dominated the air for about 0.2 seconds. Fu Anjianyang in front of him was no match for the former Manchester United captain in the top fight. Maguire hit the ball with his forehead and the ball hit the ground. Crossed the goal line after bouncing from under Ramsdale's flapping hands.

Although Ramsdale fished out the bouncing ball again, the referee David Cooper's wristband has received a reminder from the goal line system, and the ball has crossed the goal line as a whole, and the goal is valid.

"Beep!"

Only the final whistle needed to be blown after a contested goal, coupled with his gesture towards the center circle, provoked a chorus of yells from the United fans at Wembley.

Xiao Wang: "Ma Kui's top is amazing, and Xiao Liang's pass is wonderful!"

"If you want to win, you have to ask me for Ma Kui's head first!"

"This ball is not good, brothers, haha!"

"2 to 1, the time has just reached 19 minutes, Manchester United has a lot to play in this game."

"Oh my god, Ma Kui kept stroking his hair to look handsome. It's not easy. After such a long time, he probably forgot that he was the one who scored the ball just now."

Arteta immediately called Fu Anjianyang, Gabriel, Saliba and others, and reminded them on the sidelines.

The ball just now was not Fu Anjianyang's responsibility. It was after Amadou Onana and Rice blocked the man-to-man defense in the penalty area. Casemiro is no longer marked, Gabriel and Saliba must go to make up for the defense, and once they make up, Fu Anjianyang has to make up for the person who lost their position.

When the ball came over, Fu Anjianyang came back to compete with Maguire for the top, and he had lost the opportunity.

A wrong step, a wrong step, Arteta was a bystander, and immediately told him what to do, and asked a few people to tell other teammates, especially the three strikers, that when Manchester United attacked from a corner kick, the three of them had to withdraw at least two to defend.

But Arteta's earnest words did not change the mentality of the players. They felt that Maguire's goal was just an episode caused by a mistake. The initiative of the game was already in their hands. People, it is better to continue to scramble, just like scrambling to start, you will definitely be able to break through Manchester United's goal and completely kill the game.

In the 25th minute, Saka held the ball on the right and once again faced Luke Thomas one-on-one.

This time Luke didn't go up blindly, but he had Casemiro assisting in defense, and Kwa cruising behind him, ready to double-team at any time.

Seeing this battle, Saka did not choose to rush, but picked the ball behind Casemiro. Haverts ran here, raised his foot to unload the ball, then turned around and wanted to go to the middle.

"Look behind you!"

Casemiro immediately turned and pounced on Havertz, but also shouted at Luke Thomas.

The omission just now had made him remember in his heart. At this moment, he knew that if he didn't remind him, Luke Thomas might still follow the ball.

As expected, Saka followed the same pattern after taking the ball, and began to slip into the depths of the penalty area, and Luke Thomas immediately blocked Haverts' pass to Saka after Casemiro reminded him.

Haverts saw that the cooperative routine was seen through, and Milinkovic also made up for it in the middle, so he could only pass back to Erdgau.

But he probably forgot why he could sell tens of millions of pounds, but couldn't stay in Chelsea.

What Arteta needs is his ability to control the ball and make the ball in the frontcourt. What Pochettino gives up is his frequent unreasonable and incorrect way of playing the ball.

The ball passed back to Erdegao was not yet in place, and it had been destroyed by Chen Xiaoliang behind Erdegao, and kicked directly in front of Kewa who was ambushing on the side.

【oops! 】

[Parallel imports! 】

[This kind of ball is also a mistake! 】

[Is Arteta unable to buy an offensive midfielder?Why spend so much money to buy such a waste like him? ! 】

Passed and controlled more than a dozen kicks, and finally advanced to the frontcourt, but it was such an ending. Before the barrage in the live broadcast room, the Arsenal fans on the scene had already sent "saliva blessings".

On the field, the Arsenal players were also tense. What they were most worried about was that after the pressure, Manchester United would launch a quick counterattack.

They still vividly remember how they lost 5 goals against Manchester United at home in the league.

Facing Fu'an Jianyang, who was about to get close and even made a foul, Kwa knew that he probably wouldn't be able to pass this level, so he didn't hesitate a bit. Erdegao bypassed Chen Xiaoliang who was pushing forward.

Chen Xiaoliang was beside Rice, he was not afraid that he would not be able to get rid of Rice, but he was afraid that Rice would directly foul him tactically.

Chen Xiaoliang stopped on the spot, swept the ball to Rashford on the right, and then sprinted forward quickly.

Rashford dribbled the ball along the right, while Chen Xiaoliang, who easily got rid of Erdgau and Rice in the running without the ball, ran diagonally to the right rib area and then pushed forward.

He did this to help Rashford share the defensive pressure on the wing, either to open up a path for him to advance, or to give him the ball as soon as he was blocked.

Sure enough, Zinchenko didn't dare to completely draw sideways to rush to Rashford, nor did he dare to just stare at Chen Xiaoliang and let Rashford go completely, so he could only keep retreating in the middle area between the two to wait for the opportunity, or It is to welcome the defense of teammates.

In the middle, Benzema is leading Gabriel and Saliba straight forward.

Rashford ran outside on the right side of the box and passed the ball to Chen Xiaoliang who was slightly behind him on the left.

Chen Xiaoliang received the ball forward, entered the penalty area, and continued to advance on the right rib.

Gabriel rushed forward, and Chen Xiaoliang continued to pass the left cross. The ball was just pushed out from his feet, and Benzema, who had just arrived near the penalty spot, received the ball.

Benzema stopped his feet and faced the ball with his back, but he slammed his heel and hit the wall again, knocking the ball back in front of Chen Xiaoliang!

So far, Xiao Wang has called eight "Pio Leon" in the live broadcast room.

This back and forth horizontal pass will hit the wall twice and pass one, which has already confused Arsenal's defense.

Chen Xiaoliang moved forward again, and almost reached the line of the small penalty area. He kicked his left foot directly to take a far corner.

But it was close at hand, the arc did not come out, and the brave Ramsdale turned slightly to the right and raised his hands with the fastest reaction to block the shot!
However, the ball bounced at the feet of Benzema who continued to drive forward after the heel knock!
Just now he faced Saliba himself. After knocking the ball, Saliba saw that Chen Xiaoliang had been emptied, and immediately fell to the ground and wanted to intercept the pass, but Benzema's ball was in place, and Saliba missed the pass. , Also fell on the lawn in front of the small restricted area.

Benzema immediately turned back to the right, and then relying on his rich experience, did not exceed Chen Xiaoliang's parallel line, and outflanked the inside of the small penalty area.

At this time, the ball saved by Ramsdale fell in front of him. Benzema pushed his right foot towards the left goal of the open door, and immediately turned and ran to his teammates to celebrate!

Xiao Wang: "Beautiful! Beautiful! Benzema! Benzema! Benzema Tyrannosaurus! This is the cooperation between two Golden Globe winners, brothers!"

"In Real Madrid, even if the UEFA Champions League is three times in a row, only Ronaldo won the Golden Ball in the team at that time. At that time, neither the Magic Flute nor Benzema had won the Golden Ball. Like many top stars, they were overwhelmed by Melo and had no chance to win this trophy."

"I didn't expect to see such a smooth cooperation in Manchester United. I believe no one said that the stupid horse is here to retire, right?"

"If Xiaoliang, Casemiro and Manchester United's management team hadn't invited them with all their strength, they would have gone to Saudi Arabia. The money there is so good, and you can avoid detours in life for ten years, brothers."

"If I were at this age, and basically got all the personal and collective honors, I would definitely go too."

"But Stupid still signed a contract with Manchester United with a priority renewal of half a year plus one year."

"However, he still revealed to the outside world that he would still consider going to the Saudi League for a turn in his career. It is not a shame to make money! No matter what the reason is for these famous players to go to the Saudi League, it is worth sending them blessings."

Benzema, wearing the No. 35 jersey, has already scored his fourth cup goal after coming to Manchester United, which is very precious.

Except for the goalkeeper, all teammates ran over to congratulate him, and the score of 2 to 2 brought the game back to the starting line.

Ten Hag was relieved, at least until here, the tragedy would never happen.

But Arteta became anxious, and what he was most worried about happened.

Despite the changes in players, this team still can't play the tailwind and deal with the mentality of leading.

Last season, the league led by a full 93%, and finally lost to Manchester City with an 8-point advantage. It is because the team has more ideas after leading, the tactical mentality is unstable, the young people are too underestimating the enemy, and they panic after losing points. Performance.

At this time, he had no choice but to let Ben White and Martinelli start warming up before even 30 minutes in the first half, and then yelled at the players on the field.

The attitude is obvious, if you don’t play as I said, you will all be replaced.

Chen Xiaoliang, who was walking back after celebrating, noticed this.

It's just that now the offense and defense have changed, and it's them who should grab points and kill the game.
