At the same time.
On the field.
Wenger, the head coach of Arsenal, was pacing back and forth on the sidelines.
His frowning and nervous expression at this time formed a very sharp contrast with the smile on his face that was full of confidence ten minutes ago.
"Walcott! You must know how to use the width of the field."
Professor Wen saw that the attack of the Arsenal players on the field was slow to open up the situation, and then he was anxious to change his previous elegant posture, opened his voice and shouted:
"Didn't you see that you have been firmly targeted by at least five midfielders and backcourt players of Manchester United?"
"So don't stick to the forward and backward passes on one side of the field, and learn some cross-pass cooperation."
If it were normal, Professor Wen would naturally not have too many passing opportunities for Walcott.
Because he knew the technical characteristics of this beloved disciple, which was to use speed and dribbling to launch an assault on the opponent's penalty area, or disrupt the opponent's defensive formation to create opportunities for his teammates.
But the situation now is...
The whole Arsenal team pressed forward!
Even the four defenders had passed the half court at this time.
The purpose was of course to force all the Manchester United players to defend near the penalty area.
In this way, Arsenal's midfielders and frontcourt players can ensure that they always control the ball on the offensive end, and then gradually find opportunities to tear open the opponent's defense line in passing and receiving the ball.
At the same time, they can also prevent the opponent from being unable to launch a threatening fast break immediately after stealing the ball.
However, this style of play has high requirements for the passing and receiving abilities of the players on the field.
Walcott's receiving the ball is not a big problem, but his passing is the biggest shortcoming, which makes him unable to have speed and dribbling, and unable to become a world-class player.
Even in Arsenal, he rarely gets the opportunity to start.
Therefore, Walcott became the breakthrough point for Manchester United to resolve the opponent's attack. Almost half of the players surrounded the opponent's vicinity and carried out regional defense.
"Damn! There's no need to block it so tightly, leaving no gap at all?"
After Walcott received the pass from his teammate again, he looked up and saw the dense Manchester United defenders, tall and strong, in front of him. He was immediately a little upset:
"Coach, it's easy for you to talk... I also want to pass the ball to the other side! I also want to get rid of these annoying dense defenses immediately!"
"But... In my field of vision, there are really only a few teammates within ten meters. If I go further away, I can't see anything. How dare I pass it randomly?"
This At this moment, he thought of the injury time that was still ticking away, and he was sweating profusely, but he was really helpless:
"Fak... What's even more speechless is that the Manchester United guys not only blocked my vision, but also blocked all the passing routes of my teammates in other directions!"
"In this way, they will either pass it back to me again, or they can only pass it to the other side with the huge risk of being intercepted or intercepted..."
As he was thinking, Valencia, the Manchester United midfielder who was responsible for marking him, rushed over again and fought for it.
Soon, Walcott found it interesting that Valencia said he was pressing, but he used his body more to block the offensive route to prevent himself from starting up.
As for passing...
The opponent seemed too lazy to care and did not restrict it at all.
Therefore, their Manchester United's defensive intention was immediately obvious, which was to "defend against breakthroughs but not against passing."
On the one hand, it limits their own ability to play.
On the other hand, you have to force yourself to use skills you are not good at to handle the football at your feet, and then slowly make mistakes!
This is not only a competition of physical fitness and strength between the two sides, but also a competition of psychology and endurance!
"We can't keep wasting time like this!"
At this moment, Walcott suddenly remembered that Su Fan had just come on the field and was in good physical condition, and his heart tightened:
"Trouble!"
"In the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals, Manchester United used a consumption tactic and scored several goals in the last ten minutes to win a ticket to the Champions League semi-finals."
"And AC Milan, with its brilliant stars, was beaten to pieces and was eliminated by Manchester United almost one round in advance!"
"They are now most likely to repeat the old trick and let Su Fan, the core of the team, save his physical strength until the overtime..."
"Then use a quick attack to snatch the victory from us!"
He couldn't imagine...
Su Fan, who has both organizational and offensive and defensive abilities, as well as physical strength and explosive power, is still in good physical condition...
If the game is really dragged to overtime, it will connect the entire Manchester United team and burst outWhat a powerful energy!
"Let's fight!"
Thinking of this, Walcott immediately clenched his teeth, and a fierceness ignited in his heart:
"I don't believe Valencia can beat my speed!"
While thinking, he bent his knees, then protected the football under his feet, facing the opponent's defense, and slowly moved forward...
Suddenly!
Walcott's left foot moved!
At the same time,
Valencia, who was extremely focused, immediately noticed the opponent's movements and became nervous in an instant, but soon regained his composure and even wanted to laugh...
"Haha! Just as the captain expected, Walcott, a young man in his early twenties, really couldn't hold back!"
"Want to break through me? It's really not difficult!"
"But..."
"That's me... Oh no! It should be the result that 'we' want to see!"
Just thinking about it, Valencia instinctively moved his body's center of gravity slightly to the right, but in the blink of an eye, he found out...
Walcott made a fake move! !
"Bang!"
In less than half a second!
Walcott's left foot just lightly touched the ball!
Then, realizing that the opponent had indeed fallen into the trap, in the blink of an eye when his body shifted, he immediately used his waist to exert force, switched to his right foot on the ball, and poked...
At the moment when the impact sounded in Valencia's ears!
Walcott actually kicked the football to the other side of his body!
"Wow!"
Then, amid exclamations...
Walcott exerted force on his right leg, stepped forward, and stuck close to Valencia's body.
The next moment...
He received the ball he had just poked! !
"Very neat and tidy!"
Henry couldn't help but exclaimed excitedly:
"No wonder Walcott is nicknamed "Little Tiger" by her fans. Her explosive power and reaction speed..."
"It's really amazing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes were attracted by a figure that suddenly appeared on the field...
After a moment of surprise, Henry swallowed his saliva first.
Then, he looked incredulous:
"Su...Su Fan?!"
"Why did Su Fan appear behind Valencia? How did he run over there? How did he look like a shadow..."
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that Su Fan had indeed perfectly replicated the running position of "Shadow Killer" Inzaghi several times in the past few games, and appeared in the necessary position without anyone noticing!
It is not difficult to infer from this...
Su Fan is really smart!
He actually learned to use reverse thinking so quickly, and all the fans and spectators did not expect it...
Running to the defensive end, he also played flexible running skills and tactics, which was refreshing and had to agree with Su Fan's superb football IQ!
Just when everyone was still surprised by Su Fan's sudden appearance on Walcott's offensive route...
On the court!
Su Fan did not wait for Walcott to recover, and immediately stretched out his right foot in a seemingly simple way...
"Bang!"
With this collision, it suddenly sounded above Wembley Stadium!
The football kicked out by Walcott was intercepted by Su Fan with a kick, which seemed very easy and natural, and changed its trajectory to Valencia's back! !
"Oh!!"
Zhan Jun couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this scene, and then his eyes widened:
"Su Shen's blocking kick not only destroyed Walcott's attack, but also poked the ball... to his teammates' side!"
"Valencia turned around and immediately passed the ball back to the feet of defender Evra, and the moment Evra received the ball, he saw Park Ji-sung running to the midfield!"
In between his words!
Everyone only heard a "bang" sound, and Evra used a powerful long pass in the air, which made the football pass over the heads of several Arsenal players and come to the center circle...
Falling at Park Ji-sung's feet!
"Park Ji-sung received the pass in the opponent's half!"
Zhan Jun's voice sounded again at this moment:
"Opportunity!"
"Manchester United officially blew the horn of a quick counterattack!"
"Injury time entered the 92nd minute...45 seconds!"
He was so excited that he spoke faster:
"Although Walcott successfully passed the ball, he was ambushed by Manchester United captain Su Shen!"
"After the ball was intercepted, the situation on the field between the two sides was reversed again!!"
"Manchester United's players only used three touches in their own midfield and backcourt, and almost in the blink of an eye, they resolved the opponent's strong attack and quickly formed a counterattack!"
"Can Arsenal defend this ball? ! !"
At the same time!
Head coach Wenger on the sidelines widened his eyes, too nervous to care about the gentlemanly manners of England. He waved his hands vigorously and shouted:
"Return to defense!"
"Return to defense! !"
"Less than ten seconds left!"
"We can't just keep thinking about mistakes and ending the game!"
"Return to defense quickly!"
The Arsenal players on the field seemed to feel the crisis and urgency of the team's situation from the anxious shouts of the head coach!
They had no time to regret, but immediately threw their arms away, used up their last bit of strength, and ran to their own half!
"Wow! "
Very quickly!
Amid the exclamations of more than 80,000 fans in the stadium...
All Arsenal players quickly and fiercely got into position and switched to a defensive state.
And at this moment, the last time left in injury time...
Only five seconds!!
Five seconds?
What can be done?
This is not basketball, maybe you can organize an attack in five seconds!
But due to the length and width of the football field, the five seconds are not enough for the players to observe and pass the ball, let alone organize a threatening attack!!
Wenger saw that the players on the field were already in the half and successfully built a line of defense, and he couldn't help but smile.
Then, he confirmed again and again that there was less than five seconds left in the game, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart:
"Although we didn't maintain the advantage until the last moment of regular time, at least the suspense of the championship was delayed until overtime! ”
“By then, even if we don’t have the physical strength to play such a fast break, we can still rely on experience and personal ability to defend in our own half and keep the goal intact!”
Thinking of this, he smiled even more, and at the same time, he couldn’t help glancing at his old rival Ferguson, thinking to himself:
“No wonder… Sir Ferguson can always remain calm and composed. It turns out that Manchester United captain Su Fan’s influence on the entire team is no longer just in terms of tactical play.”
“Rather… it’s deeply rooted in the bones of Manchester United’s lineup and engraved in the muscle memory of every player! !”
“From this, it’s not difficult to see… Su Fan is indeed very terrifying in both personal and organizational abilities!”
“But he may not be able to win the penalty shootout to the end! ”
Just at this moment, the situation on the field changed again!
“Bang…”
After Park Ji-sung received the pass on the wing, he first ran forward a few steps, and then passed the ball before Wilshere, who was marking him, slid and tackled him…
He passed the ball!
And the landing point…
It was Arsenal’s small penalty area!
“Huh…”
Seeing this, Wenger smiled:
“What if we pass the ball to our penalty area now?”
“No one from Manchester United can run over and outflank the front point, but in the end, it will still be confiscated by our goalkeeper?”
Then, he was thinking about the lineup for the next overtime and penalty shootout, and his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the sudden noise at the scene!
“Wow! "
Wenger frowned, stopped thinking in annoyance, and when he focused on the game again, he was stunned...
On the field!
Su Fan actually ran all the way from the top of the arc near the center circle of Manchester United at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, and within five seconds, he ran into the Arsenal penalty area!
"Stop him!"
Goalkeeper Fabianski's eyes widened immediately:
"Don't let Su Fan touch the ball again at this critical moment! ! ! "
