Chapter 32 The center Liu Hanxia
Leicester City strengthened the defense of Liu Han, their midfield formation began to shrink, not only the main midfielder has been keeping an eye on Liu Han, but another midfielder has always been running around Liu Han, their lineup today was originally a defensive 451 lineup, and now except for the high school striker on the front line, the other players are all back to their own half of the defense, which makes Arsenal's attack stagnate.

Although Arsenal is the top in the Premier League in terms of midfield control, but because they have never played a high striker tactic, they seem to be more than capable of Leicester City's contraction defense, and Liu Han's understanding of running is still very immature, and the Arsenal team has no way to penetrate the front of Leicester City's penalty area.
"Rice, let the players play more on the wing and find Liu's high point." Wenger never yells on the sidelines, this kind of work is usually the job of assistant coach Rice, who called Rice to have a big voice, or Rice is because of his big voice to win Wenger's favor, but this may only be known to Wenger himself, he is very satisfied with his nickname "Professor".
Rice came to the sidelines and thought about the players on the pitch shouting Wenger's arrangement, although there was no way to make everyone hear, but at least some of the players in the midfield heard it, so that Arsenal could change their tactics.
Although the next 30 minutes of the game were dull except for Liu Han's long-range shot after the opening, Arsenal fans still spared no effort to cheer for the home team.
In the box, Nash, who had received football training, was explaining various football tactics on the field to all his teammates, which surprised the Arsenal team's entourage, because it can be heard from Nash's words that he is very expert, and the Arsenal staff even has the urge to let the team investigate Nash, maybe he is another genius like Liu Han.
The Arsenal midfielders, who received instructions from the sidelines, began to expand their formation to the flanks, with Petit still in the middle of the midfield, while Ljungberg and Grimandi began to pull to the left and right wings.
Thirty-five minutes into the game, Ljungberg was cruising on the right flank. Midfielder Petit picked up the ball and fired a long diagonal pass to Ljungberg, who quickly shook off Leicester's defenders and began to burst down the wings.
Leicester City's defense in the middle did not dare to relax easily, Liu Han's long-range shot at the beginning had already scared them, now look at the opponent's strong body and height of 1.96 meters, Leicester City's defenders did not dare to let go of Liu Han's defense to help defend the side, only the left back quickly approached Ljungberg, hoping to interfere with the opponent's attack.
However, the Leicester players underestimated the 22-year-old Swede, who only joined Arsenal in '98 and has a strong physique and good dribbling skills.
Ljungberg all the way to the right side of the penalty area and the left and right suddenly made an inward feint, which scared the Leicester City players, because they knew that this Swedish guy had good shooting skills, and once the opponent found an opportunity to cut inside, it might pose a threat to his own goal, so Leicester City's left-back immediately adjusted his center of gravity and prepared to cut off the opponent's inward cutting route.
However, Ljungberg stepped on a bicycle with his left foot and feintmed to shake the opponent's defense, and then took the ball directly to the outside line with his right foot and began to break through to the bottom line.
At this time, Liu Han in the middle immediately ran to the goal with his defender. The main defender of Leicester City, who was defending Liu Han, did not dare to have the slightest carelessness and just stuck to Liu Han, but when Liu Han ran near the line of the big penalty area, he suddenly stopped suddenly.
This is the first time Liu Han has played the position of center, he is not very familiar with some running positions, and he doesn't know which point his teammate Ljungberg will pass to, but his experience in the NBA has made him know that he can't blindly run in a straight line like this, so he can't get rid of the defense at all, so Liu Han adopted his no-ball running mode when playing basketball, and a quick stop made the Leicester City player who defended him almost fall out, because he just tried his best to keep up with Liu Han's speed, and such an emergency stop is not something his body can withstand at all, But Liu Han's strong body not only made him suddenly stop suddenly, but also got rid of the defense again.
Ljungberg, who was ambushed at the bottom line, looked up to observe the situation in the penalty area, and saw that Liu Han had gotten rid of the defense and was running forward, so Ljungberg used his right foot to make a low flat arc ball, the ball was only more than two meters above the ground, but the ball speed was very fast.
Leicester City's centre-backs are very experienced, and after seeing that their teammates have been thrown away by Liu Han, they immediately left their positions to prepare to make up for Liu Han.
Ljungberg passed the ball well, but Liu Han was on equal footing with the centre-back.
Liu Han's eyes didn't pay attention to the opponent's defenders at all, he stared closely at the football flying towards him, and then used the momentum of his body to jump suddenly.
Leicester City's central defender also jumped almost at the same time as Liu Han, because of the forward momentum, his body inevitably knocked down with Liu Han.
Under the gaze of the Arsenal fans throughout the stadium, Liu Han's body shape as he flew in the air barely changed, while the Leicester City player who crashed into him fell backwards.
Liu Han maintained a good center of gravity in the air, the impact just now affected him slightly, but it did not affect much, he twisted his waist, his neck also deflected with the trend, and then used the twisting of his body to shake his head while the ball flew to the top of his head.
Ljungberg's pass was already fast, but now with Liu Han's added force, the ball changed direction and flew towards the top left corner of the goal almost instantly.
Leicester City's goalkeeper was already at the near point, but Liu Han's lion head shake was really too powerful, the ball was still spinning outward in the last moment, but the next moment the ball had flown near the goal, and he didn't have time to react at all.
Liu Han's header grazed the left post and flew into the net, leaving the Leicester goalkeeper stunned.
Arsenal fans instantly erupted in "flood power", and the stadium of nearly 40,000 people could hardly contain their cheers, and such a violent and direct goal made everyone's adrenaline start to be excited.
Arsenal's assistant coach almost jumped on the pitch to celebrate with joy, after all, Liu Han played as a central striker but it was his suggestion.
Liu Han stood in front of the goal with his hands raised, and his teammates not far away all moved closer to him, and Ljungberg jumped directly on Liu Han's shoulder.
This "perverted" guy scored in the first game as a center forward, and it was a very beautiful header. That's what almost all the players in the Arsenal team think, and of course, so do the players at Leicester.
"This kid always started so smoothly, I hope he can get better and better." LaBeouf in the box thought after Liu Han's goal, for Liu Han, he now hopes that this kid can start a new life again, although he misses Safina who has left, but he also doesn't want Liu Han to be immersed in the past all the time.
