Chapter 109: One Man's Team (5)
"That ball, it's so beautiful, how did you do it, and when did you start learning it?" Ribery kept asking Liu Han at halftime how to make a pendulum pass. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You can do that, Frank, but you can't do that right now, it's very demanding on your knees and ligaments, but as long as you keep practicing what I've given you, you can do it later."
For Ribery, Liu Han did not hide the slightest.
"Frank, what did Liu teach you? Haha, did he teach you how to pick up girls? Seriously, Liu, I envy you, Anna is so beautiful. ”
The team was ahead of Manchester United, which put the Arsenal players in a good mood at half-time, and Thierry Henry also heard Liu Han and Ribery talking.
"Well, he gave me Chinese kung fu, haha, do you want to learn it? Very cool. "Ribery gets along very well with his fellow French man Henry.
"Really? Wow, that's really cool, Liu, can I follow along? I know that the Chinese tradition requires apprenticeship, do I need to prepare any rituals? Henry is also very curious about how Liu Han can make such rapid progress, and at the same time he also admires Liu Han's physical fitness, and privately thinks that Liu Han should have practiced some Chinese kung fu or something, after all, those who can do kung fu in the movie are very powerful.
"Thierly, it's just some special standing techniques and yoga, don't listen to Frank's nonsense, but I can teach you if you want to learn." Liu Han didn't feel that there was anything worth hiding from these exercises.
"Liu, are you talking about that weird standing posture you usually do before training? I don't think it looks like it's useful. Vieira, who had seen Liu Han stand on the pile in training, was skeptical.
"That's because you didn't stick to it, it takes years of perseverance to be effective, and there are some special techniques in it that I don't know how to express in French or English, because no one has ever translated these before." Liu Han actually wanted to teach his teammates how to stand on the pile, but the old boxer taught Liu Han a bit of a special pile method, not an ordinary horse step, some experiences require personal understanding, words are sometimes difficult to express, teaching Ribery to stand on the pile took Liu Han a lot of effort.
The atmosphere in the dressing room of the Arsenal team is good, but the atmosphere in the dressing room of the home team is a little solemn, although the Scottish hair dryer was not activated today, but the players still saw his unhappiness in Sir Alex Ferguson's gloomy face.
After the break, the two sides returned to the court.
Arsenal kicked off in the centre circle, and Liu Han ran straight to Manchester United's half after kicking off, and according to Arsene Wenger's arrangement, he needed to put more pressure on the Manchester United defence.
Rather than attacking as Wenger had predicted, the Reds narrowed down the defence as expected, with David Beckham and Ryan Giggs on the left both retreating into their second half to defence, leaving Sheringham alone in front.
Ferguson, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help but feel a little envious when he looked at Liu Han, who was completely surrounded by three players from Manchester United, and Ferguson was also quite coveted for such a powerful center.
In fact, the more successful managers in the Premier League will inevitably have some center forward plots, because the pace of the Premier League game is very fast, and the physical confrontation is more intense, so it is generally difficult for the technical flow team to survive in the Premier League, and the strong center forward can effectively pull enough space for the players on the side, and also has the ability to threaten the opponent's goal, which makes the Premier League team attach great importance to the concept of the center forward.
Arsenal attacked Manchester United after the start of the second half, but their attacking efficiency has declined, Liu Han is completely surrounded, there is almost no space to connect the ball, and Arsenal midfielders now do not have the kind of person who can pass the ball imaginatively, and the absence of Dutchman Bergkamp has made Wenger's personnel somewhat stretched.
While Arsene Wenger stressed the need to be more focused on the pitch at half-time, Arsenal's backline was bound to slack up as they pressed forward in formation.
Arsenal, who had besieged Manchester United for five or six minutes, could not find too many good chances, and although Thierry Henry and Ribery were both quick, they still conceded goals in the dense defence of Manchester United.
In fact, if the game continues like this, the result may be that Arsenal will have the last laugh, but Manchester United are no ordinary team, they have super resilience and a desire to fight, as you can see from last year's Champions League final.
In last year's Champions League final, Manchester United scored twice in three minutes of stoppage time to beat Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich to win the Champions League for the second time in their history. You must know that in this game, Bayern Munich led almost the whole game, but it was defeated at the last moment.
So in the face of such a Manchester United team, the Arsenal team should have the slightest carelessness.
However, football is a game full of accidents, and perhaps a small mistake can ruin the effort of the whole game.
Arsenal were in crisis in the final 30 minutes of the game, with a careless attack hitting the Arsenal back, and Sheringham picked up the ball and tried to force a break through to Vieira's defence, but Vieira squeezed into position.
Sheringham, who was close behind, was ready to pass the ball to Scholes, who came to the side to answer, Vieira, who intended to break the ball, wanted to cut off the pass, but the accident happened, Sheringham's half-high ball just touched Vieira's outstretched left arm, and the referee blew the game to stop, showing Vieira a second yellow card, another highly controversial yellow card.
Vieira covered his head and couldn't believe what he saw, he thought that the referee was crazy, it was just a handball in an accident, and he didn't deliberately block the ball with his hands, and he was actually whistled for a foul and given a yellow card.
Arsene Wenger, who was on the sidelines, also angrily wanted to rush up to question the referee, but was stopped by assistant coach Rice.
Patrick Vieira was sent off, which meant nothing to the Arsenal side with a back three, and seeing that the referee was out of the question, Arsene Wenger finally realised it was time to make a substitution and the team needed to move into defensive posture next.
Liu Han was also skeptical about the yellow card, but he didn't express it, but went straight back to the backfield, he knew what he should do next.
As in the Charity Shield before the start of the season, Liu Han also came off the bench after Patrick Vieira was sent off and scored a beautiful direct free-kick in the game.
The game entered the final 30 minutes, but the toughest challenge for Arsenal was just approaching. (To be continued.) )
