Chapter 136: A Desperate Shot
() "Oh? Arsenal and Chelsea made substitutions at the same time. β
'Arsenal brought on Kanu for in-form Reyes, while Chelsea brought on youngster Glen Johnson for Dutchman Jusselbaink.
"This is the last substitution for both sides, and after that, the coaches of both sides will not play much of a role."
Glen Johnson replaced Hasselbaink and stepped back to the side, leaving Gudjohnsen alone up front. Earlier, Lackey had replaced Duff with Joe Cole, so Chelsea were able to defend in their own half with 10 men, but still pose a huge threat to the Gunners in terms of impact on both flanks.
"After Kanu came on the field, the gunners who could see the appearance were a little excited."
"In past seasons, Kanu has played Arsenal's "Mr. Key" on several occasions! β
'For example, against Sheffield Wednesday, Tottenham and Villa in some important games, Kanoo scored key goals as a substitute.
"Of course, the key thing was that in the 99-00 season away to Chelsea, substitute Kanu scored a hat-trick to complete a shocking comeback."
'It's interesting that this game is the same as that game, now Arsenal are two goals down. I wonder if the professor wants to make a miracle happen again? β
After Huang Jianxiang introduced Kanu to everyone, he pouted in his heart.
The hat-trick comeback is not impossible to replicate, but it depends on who is on the opposite side of the goal!
For today's Tang Wu, Huang Jianxiang believes that as long as Tang Wu does not make low-level mistakes, he will hardly let a striker like Kanu score a goal.
After Kanu came on the field, he basically used it as a bridgehead, making balls for Henry and others.
Although he is not good at heading, he can already do a lot of things with his height of 1.97 meters.
In the 79th minute, Ljungberg found Kanu with a long pass from the back.
The Nigerian didn't even have to jump, blocking Parker and chesting the ball to Vieira.
Mr. Long Legs deflected the ball and continued towards the Chelsea penalty area, and when he reached the top of the arc, Vieira slid another lob pass to Kanu in the air to get past Parker.
This time, Kanu didn't catch the ball and diverted it, but stopped the ball with his chest and made a beautiful compass on the spot.
Seeing that the one-meter-ninety-seven "little giant" could make such a dexterous move, Tang Wu was also shocked, and hurriedly ordered Gala to go over to make up for the defense.
The Nigerian striker is very clean, never muddy and not hesitating.
Immediately after he had passed the ball, Thierry Henry took another step forward and sprinted towards the Chelsea box.
"Fack!" Tang Wu scolded secretly.
The king of guns can pass and shoot, which is one of the most hated situations in Tang Wu.
But this time the Gunslinger didn't seem to be ready, and when the ball came to his feet so easily, Henry didn't even think about it, and raised his foot to shoot hard.
Tang Wu fell to the ground and stretched his legs, blocking the ball from the bottom line with his feet.
After the shot, Henry found Kanu who was inserting forward again, and couldn't help but cover his face.
The shot was so rushed that if he looked up at his team-mate's movement, he could have scored more goals by continuing to break through or adjusting the angle of his shot, even if he didn't pass the ball.
But Kanu was not frustrated or dissatisfied, and after sticking a finger at Henry, he stopped in place and waited for the corner.
"Parker, don't always rush out to defend Vieira! All you have to do now is try not to lose your position! Taking this opportunity, Tang Wu reminded.
"Why?" The midfielder, who had just joined in the winter, questioned.
Fake, and why?
There is no why!
Tang Wuzhen didn't bother to explain.
Why do you always ask "why" every time I make my decision, like a curious baby?
Why can't you just say "ok" like Makelele?
Tang Wu rolled his eyes and explained in English: "Your current position is a midfielder, not a midfielder, and your task is no longer to see the black and strong Gunners captain to death, but to cooperate with me to see and kill all the Arsenal players who want to rush into the penalty area, understand?" β
"Oh! I see. Parker answered, and hurriedly ran to Vieira, who came to grab a point in the penalty area.
"Fack!" Tang Wu scolded secretly.
Tang Wu didn't have time to talk to this stunned young man, while directing Gala to watch the front post, while directing Terry and the others to get stuck in the position.
However, at this moment, Pire, in the corner kick area, suddenly raised his hands in the air.
Tang Wu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shouted at Melchiot: "Mario, look at Henry!" β
But it was still a step too late, and Henry had already opened his legs and ran towards the corner.
Tang Wu immediately ordered Gara to run forward and give way to the front post. At this point, the ball was right at Henry's feet.
Seeing that Pire, who had finished passing the ball, was already in an offside position, Tang Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and then stared intently at the gun king who was riding a bicycle with the ball outside the crowd.
Since Henry had already dribbled the ball to the edge of the penalty area, and Melchiott and others were also filling in in time, Tang Wu didn't shout again. At this time, his shouting will most likely affect the judgment of his teammates, so until the critical moment, Tang Wu will not give an order at this time.
Just as Tang Wu observed Henry's cadence through the gap in the crowd, a red-black figure suddenly ran in front of Tang Wu's eyes.
Before Tang Wu could squeak, Henry in the upper left corner of the penalty area made a through ball and passed the ball to the feet of Kanu.
"Stop him..."
Seeing Henry, who ran directly towards the penalty area after passing the ball, Tang Wu hurriedly yelled.
But before the words were finished, Tang Wu's body actually made its own movements under the muscle reaction.
"Falk !!" Tang Wu secretly cursed in his heart.
I'm still careless!
Kanu had just run from inside the box to pick up Thierry Henry's pass, and he was followed by Bridge. Coupled with the fact that the Nigerian had his back to the goal, Tang Wu just focused on Henry, who was inserted in for a moment.
But at this moment of "slipping", Kanu adjusted after receiving Henry's pass, and knocked the ball back with the back heel of his right foot, as if he had a long eye behind his back.
The ball drilled through Bridge's crotch and scurried towards the near post.
Tang Wu's attention was not to mention Henry, and the center of gravity also shifted to the center of the goal with Henry's insertion.
At this time, Kanu's back heel pushed a near angle, how could it not make Tang Wu feel disgusted?
Looking at the ball leaking out of Bridge's small goal, Tang Wu's body made the last saving effort under the muscle reaction.
More than 30,000 gun fans tensed their nerves, and in front of the Chelsea goal, there was a crisp "boom", and the ball that was speeding close to the ground hit the tip of Tang Wu's left foot that was stretched out as much as possible, and then rolled out more than 20 centimeters to the open space on the side, spinning on the spot.
"Gross!" Tang Wu's chest and abdomen suddenly swelled with a feeling of vomiting.
The forced save posture did not straighten the body at all, and the outstretched toes were not yet tightly tensed, and they collided with the ball rolling at high speed.
Tang Wu only felt his ankle shake, and then a numbness came from the tip of his left foot, and then went all the way up his hamstring, and finally shook his stomach, making what he had eaten in the morning tumble in his stomach.
The strong feeling of vomiting also caused slight dizziness, and Tang Wu even looked at the ball in front of him a little dazzled for a while.
"Oh, buy cakes! What's that pose? Nearly 40,000 fans in the stadium let out an exclamation in unison.
They had never seen a player split on a football pitch, and it was a goalkeeper who was 1.9 meters tall who made the move!
"Do Chinese really know kung fu?"
In the midst of the discussion, Zhou Haohao's face turned red and subconsciously covered his mouth.
But the pear vortex girl's worry did not last long, Tang Wu used the fastest speed to prop up the ground, using the strength of his limbs to try his best to make his body "bounce" forward for twenty centimeters, and barely stretched out a palm, pulling the ball out of the boundary.
As soon as the whole set of movements was done, a pair of long legs rushed over. Kanu, who couldn't stop the car, barely retracted his feet and tripped on Tang Wu's outstretched arm.
Beep!!!
The referee awarded a corner.
There is no controversy.
Bridges ran over first and pulled Tang Wu's arm out from under Kanu.
But Tang Wu was lying flat on the ground at this time, the vomiting sensation brought by his toes just now had not passed, and his head was even dizzy.
"How are you? What's uncomfortable? Looking at Tang Wu's half-open and half-closed eyes, Bridge even reached out to roll Tang Wu's eyelids.
"How's your arm? Have you ever been bruised? Frank Lampard asked.
"How are your legs? Have you ever been sprained? Terry asked.
"How's your egg? Have you ever been torn? Parker asked.
However, Tang Wu still didn't squeak, lying flat on the ground and gasping for breath.
The goalkeeper position is dangerous because you can't tell what's going to happen in the next second.
Tang Wudu, who was a hundred times more ferocious than Kanu's shot, still blocked it with a relatively fragile arm. But who would have thought that just a shot that was not particularly fast on the ground, after hitting Tang Wu's outstretched toes, would make the body feel so strongly vomiting and dizziness?!
The team doctor ran over and rolled Tang Wu's eyelids.
The stretcher man also ran over, and several people planned to work together to put Tang Wutai on the stretcher.
But at the last step, the vomiting finally passed and the dizziness lessened.
Tang Wu waved his hand and refused the team doctor who was about to lift him up, and slowly got up and sat up with Terry's help, rubbing his temples with two fingers of his right hand.
Gala also took the opportunity to hold a bottle of water with the cap unscrewed aside, and handed it to Tang Wu when he was completely sober.
Chelsea's defenders are heartwarming, knowing that their young goalkeepers often can't even unscrew a bottle of mineral water.
After taking two sips of water, Tang Wu moistened his throat and lips. Athletes can't hydrate a lot during strenuous exercise, so Tang Wu slowly stood up with Terry's support after relieving the feeling of dry mouth.
Seeing Tang Wu stand up again, the three thousand blue fans in the stands of the away team cheered in unison.
"Well done, you're the best!"
"Come on, we will always support you!"
βto..β
Kanu, who was standing aside, also breathed a sigh of relief. After stepping forward and patting Tang Wu's shoulder in a friendly manner, he turned around and walked towards the periphery.
However, on the Gunners bench, Reyes, who saw this scene, couldn't hold back any longer, threw off his shirt angrily, stood up and scolded angrily: "Fake, that villain, he's acting!" Can't you see it? It's his conspiracy! Everything is pretending to be him, he is acting!! β
However, except for Wiltord, who looked at him as if he was looking at a nervous disorder, his teammates, including the staff and the assistant coach, didn't even pay attention to him.
On the pitch it's about speaking with strength, not with your mouth.
