() While Arsenal and Chelsea were battling, the Red Devils did not take the opportunity to take their chances.

They were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Leeds United, with just one point left United unable to catch up with the Gunners and Blues in close proximity.

Especially "Bad Boy" Alain. Smith made a big splash at Old Trafford, kicking United defender Silvestre off with an injury and then heading home from substitute Brown.

Once again, the Red Devils were dragged down by their crumbling defence.

In the Champions League in midweek, Arsenal and Chelsea both brought home a win away from home, while Manchester United lost 2-1 to Porto.

The 'miserable' fate for the Red Devils was not over yet, as Brown's carelessness in the league on 28 February cost the leading United as he underestimated Boamot's explosiveness and pace, watching as his opponent easily brushed past him and fired a low shot through the back of the net.

If you look back at the games since Brown's return, one will be surprised to find that the mistake of the "best centre-back" alone has resulted in United picking up just one point in three games.

On the other hand, Arsenal continued their narrow lead with a 2-1 win at home to Charlton Athletic, while Chelsea also beat Manchester City 1-0 away.

After the game, Manchester City manager Keegan walked out to the press conference and told reporters: "I still use Ranieri's words to describe this game: 'You played well, we played bad; You lose, we win; It's crazy, but that's football. ’”

Manchester City have struggled to find a home win since 18 October last year, and even though Sun played well at both ends of the pitch, he was unable to help the hosts win the game.

As soon as the whistle blew at the end of the game, Sun Sun ran to Tang Wu's side and asked, "Little Tang, what's going on with the National Olympics?" Didn't they send you an invitation? ”

"I sent it, but it was sent more than a month ago, and they asked me to go to the Four Nations Tournament." Tang Wu replied.

"And then? And then there was no news? Sun Sun also guessed the follow-up development.

"Yes, I didn't believe it anymore after the Four Nations Tournament! Maybe Coach Shen is very confident in the current National Olympic Games! ”

"Dog's confidence!" Sun Sun spouted, "It's about to resist South Korea, does he think this batch of National Olympics is three years ago?" Even if it was the super platinum generation three years ago, then the current Korean team has not grown at all? ”

"Brother Sun, I don't want to call me if the National Olympics don't call me." Tang Wu took off his gloves and took off the finger guards on his fingers one by one. 'Now Chelsea have the Champions League and the Premier League left, and it looks like there is a possibility of winning the title, so the club can't pass up such a good opportunity, and neither do I.

"Okay, Xiao Tang, Brother Sun supports your idea." Sun Sun patted Tang Wu's shoulder, and then scolded again, "The Football Association of the dog, the will be taken down sooner or later!" What kind of good thing is Nan Yongya, and the good trend is to let their gang spoil it! ”

"Okay, Brother Sun, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven! If I play well this season, maybe I can still be a teammate in the Asian Cup! ”

"I hope so!" Sun Sun shook his head, "You also know that the situation in our country is different from that of foreign countries. Football is played by those who have the ability, but our country has something more. Alas, don't talk about it, you don't understand it if you talk too much. Don Jr., just train hard, and one day you will become the main force of the national team! When the time comes, our door will depend on you! ”

On 29 February, the final of the English League Cup was held at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

Middlesbrough beat Bolton Wanderers 2-1 to claim their first official title in 128 years.

Tang Wu did not watch the game with the others, but stayed at Stamford Bridge with Frank Lampard for a private training session.

For several games in a row, Chelsea in blue were completely different from their two red-clad rivals in the competition standings.

The Gunners and the Red Devils are sharp in attack and porous in defence; The Blues, on the other hand, have been solid defensively but have been weak in attack.

A good defence will only bring a draw to Chelsea, and only an attack can bring victory to the team.

With Mutu suspended and Crespo always suffering minor injuries, Chelsea's forward line in the second half of the league was unavailable.

As a result, Rakali held a number of meetings, but this kind of problem could not be solved by meetings. Chelsea need to attack, they need a player who can shoot.

Duff on the flanks is a point of attack, but Duff's form has been up and down since he recovered from injury. Glen Johnson is a regular hitter who has been involved in assists, but he is a bit of a nerve, and he simply can't pick up the Blues' attacking squad.

The coaches met to discuss how to step up the attack, and the players were also privately trying to figure out how to break the deadlock in their own way.

"Don, what's the matter with you calling me down?"

Tang Wu has lent the house to Xiaofa these days, and he has been living in the dormitory. When Tang Wu put Frank Lampard on the foot, the Chelsea midfielder did not hesitate and stayed.

"Frank, what's the effective range of your shot?"

"Shot range?" Lampard pondered, "It's basically fine within thirty yards. ”

"That said, you can shoot from within 30 yards of the goal."

"Theoretically, that's so." Lampard nodded.

Born in 1978, Frank Lampard is now 26 years old. His importance at Chelsea has been evident this season, and with his performances, he will be a well-deserved starter even if the club changes managers next season.

"Then why don't you get into range with the ball and shoot with your feet?"

"Don, you're thinking too easy about attacking!" Lampard shook his head, "You're the goalkeeper. Do you think it's a long-range shot from 30 yards out or a shot from near the penalty spot? ”

"Of course I do!" Tang Wu said, "But the current situation is a bit special. ”

"I asked the coach for the last five games. There were plenty of attacks and dangerous chances created, but the average number of shots on goal per game was just under 11, and that included around half of the shots out of the frame. ”

"Maybe it's because we attack so much that the strikers always think 'how good it would be if we created better chances.'"

'But the situation is that the idea has seriously interfered with our attacking quality and we have a quicker and more concise shot so that we can score more goals.

As a midfielder, Frank Lampard knows how many dangerous shots he has delivered in these games.

It was either wasted by his teammates or he didn't take advantage of the opportunity, so Tang Wu's words made Lampard fall into Shensi.

"Frank, your long-range shot is the best on the team, and your position allows you to do it, so why don't you try to shoot from distance more?" Tang Wu continued to ask.

"That's why you left me behind? Let me practice long-range shooting, and you will practice goalkeeping by the way? Lampard guessed.

"Nope! That's not true! Tang Wu denied, "It's right for you to practice long-range shooting, but I don't practice goalkeeping." ”

Saying that, Tang Wu put the dummy and the obstacle in position, and then walked to the big forbidden area on the other side, and shouted loudly: "I'll pass, and then you shoot as fast as you can!" ”

"No problem!" Frank Lampard made an OK gesture.

As Tang Wu's team-mate, Frank Lampard is one of the people who knows Tang Wu's footwork best.

Tang Wu's long pass is actually not outstanding, and the reason why he feels accurate on TV is that Tang Wu's long pass is too straight.

That's right!

This is the secret of Tang Wu's long biography.

Xiao Bei, the representative of today's football world with accurate long passes and good vision, will make all the goalkeepers who attack without permission suffer with his kick of the full moon scimitar.

But Tang Wu's long pass is different, he just strictly follows the technique of opening the big foot, and then exerts the corresponding power according to the distance and wind direction to kick the ball to a certain point.

Therefore, before Tang Wu kicks the ball, he will think about where to kick the ball.

Frank Lampard, Duff, Glen Johnson, Gudjohnsen and others all know the secrets of Tang Wu's long pass, and they usually run directly in front of Tang Wu's ball and then use their chests to stop the ball.

“c！” On the court, Tang Wu roared, slammed his feet, and kicked the ball to the preset location.

Frank Lampard scrambled to the 'C' area, then turned his back to goal, lifted his right leg and unloaded Tang Wu's long ball with the arch of his foot.

The goalkeeper's over-kick ball is usually a backspin ball, so there is a good chance that it will bounce in the opposite direction and a surprisingly long distance when the ball lands.

However, Lampard was prepared, and immediately after stopping the ball, he stepped forward, flicked the ball to the side, and then twisted up and hit the goalkeeper regardless of his posture.

With a "bang", the ball flew towards the empty door like a rubber cannonball.

Two-thirds of the way through the goal, it suddenly changed direction due to the air current, and finally got into the bottom right corner of the goal.

From Tang Wu's long pass to the shot, Lampard only touched the ball three times in the whole process, which is already the limit.

Tang Wu's long pass combined with Frank Lampard's long-range shot can make the ball form a shot from the back to the front of the goal with a simple two-point connection. Frank Lampard became more and more excited, and his attacking body trembled at such tactics.

After a few rounds and 30 shots, Lampard's goal rate can reach more than 85 per cent. Not only did Tang Wu get rid of the "punishment" of picking up the ball, but Lampard's long-range shooting level became more and more perfect.

Later, Lampard also tried to catch the ball and volleyed directly into the goal, and the shooting rate was around 50 per cent.

A generation of England midfielders, from this moment on, the level of long-range shooting has been sublimated again.
