Chapter 272: Shallow Water

Do you remember the first time you went to the pool as a child? At that time you were very young and didn't know how to swim, and you slowly descended into the shallow part of the pool because it was safe there. But you want to test the boundaries of your activities, so you step by step into the deep water. The water gradually submerges under your nose, and soon you find yourself in a place where the water can reach the top of your head, and that's when you realize the danger.

Margery thought about what he had done at the time. He threw his hands and feet on the ground as hard as he could, retreating into the shallow water as best he could.

Kicking football was the same, every joint of his body was hurting, and the violent impact made his head a little dazed, and he had realized that the "water" was too deep. All that needs to be done now is to get yourself back into shallow water, and you can't go on like this. Margerry's eyes swept over Mendy, who wanted to switch positions with his team-mates, but ......

He noticed that the crowd in the away team area was standing and watching, their eyes focused on themselves, chanting his name and anticipating his performance. Two minutes earlier, Margery had been out of position and crawled on the ground with his head desperately in the face of Giroud's onslaught. Giroud was obviously taken aback, if he hadn't stopped his feet in time, maybe this white-looking young man would have been on his way to the hospital at this moment.

I thought he was a smart person, but he turned out to be a stunned young man.

Edward had noticed the anomaly at the back, and he couldn't help but pay attention, and in just a dozen or twenty minutes, Margery fell to the ground more than 10 times, and Arsenal did it on purpose, and his arm was faintly bleeding because of the friction with the turf. He knows that Xiao Ma has never been a player who is good at confrontation, and there is a question mark before the start of the season about whether the young man can adapt to the Premier League, but, without but, there is no reason why he should not be allowed to play if his physical indicators are fully qualified. Ward realised that by removing Rudiger, he was removing the barrier in front of the Magal, leaving the soft parts completely exposed to the enemy's sharp knives.

Margery, who had risen again on the court, looked around, gasping for breath as he took a deep breath, words like pain and hesitation almost took over his mind. He remembered that day, a person often slipped and fell in his life, many times, and more on the football field. In the FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool, the ball rolled over to the center circle, he crawled on the ground with his hands and knees, roaring angrily to get this damn body to stand up, he ran alone, knowing that he would never be able to catch up with the man in front of him, but he couldn't help but chase, couldn't help but wail to let Vincent? Enyeyama helped him. He ran into the empty goal, his heart was more empty than the goal, he bent down to pick up the ball, he didn't even know his teammates were calling his name, and the abyss swallowed him.

This memory has no reason, and the waist that has been closed suddenly twitched, is this an early warning? Or is it an illusion?

He stood on the bow of the boat and looked out at his hometown, pulled up the brim of his hat to block the splashing water, and the headland he played on as a child pierced into the sea like a sharp sword, this is the scene of his outing a few days ago, is there a chance this year?

Margery was crushed back and forth by a heavy tank, but his eyes were still not on Giroud, he went back and forth in several players in the Arsenal backfield, Jenkinson, Gibbs and Ramsey, Gibbs was like a frightened ostrich against Mane throughout the game, Ramsey did not use his return skills throughout the game, Jenkinson? Margery's eyes were fixed on the active Arsenal right flank, and on the side of Walcott, the invisible Jane.

He tried to ask his coach for advice, only to find that Hydward on the sidelines was making a substitution gesture towards him, and Ward wanted to protect his players and not let Arsenal split them alive. Margery was in a hurry, running two steps without paying attention to his right foot, which had become numb, and he kept pressing down on his left hand in the coach's seat, signaling that he was okay and could continue to persevere.

The player's insistence kept Hydward in action, he knew the personality of his disciple, and he was a true fighter.

In the 72nd minute, Portsmouth gave the second substitution to Dele? Ali, who replaced Frere, was meant to attack. The new Alli sparked a spark with Belotti in an instant, and they played a one-two on the wing to get past the defending Aaron Ramsey to form a cross space, and Mendy was cut in to complete the cross.

The cross was of good quality, fast, arced and had a noticeable in-spin that was perfect for the striker to get over.

Milo first went to the right in the penalty area, completed a reverse feint and shook off the defender to complete the header, when Klose hit the ball, Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny barely had time to react, the Portsmouth players were almost ready to cheer, but the next second the ball hit the crossbar and bounced back into the box.

The ball was quickly cleared away by Mertesacker and De Bruyne, who had been silent all day outside the box, seized the moment to organise a second attack, and his through ball went past the two Arsenal defence and passed to Belotti, who had successfully defended offside. Belotti didn't hesitate to stab the shot, but this time Szczesny, who reacted quickly, sat down quickly and made a good right leg to block the inevitable goal. The ball came to Mertesacker's feet for the second time, and this time he riveted it and cleared it up front in one go.

Margery's thoughts are almost all focused on Jenkinson, who is slow and loves to go down, this is a hidden danger that can be detected in the Arsenal defense, hit him behind, be sure to hit him behind! He told himself over and over again. He looked at the ball that attracted the players like a magnet and clenched his fists.

Gotta break this ball!

Portsmouth's luck was not bad, Arsenal's luck was not bad, and Mertesacker's casual clearance allowed the ball to fly half the pitch to Cazorla's feet. It's also possible that it's not luck, like Icardi automatically sucking the ball in the box, it's a natural skill. The Spaniard continued his good performance, unloading the ball was a precise pass, and the whole Portsmouth team that was too high was dragged by Margery alone, and this young man was actually thinking about breaking the ball at this moment!

Olivier Giroud strode the counter-attacking ball and the Ligue 1 Golden Boot's nose told him it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The last Portsmouth defender approached quickly, hoping to hold him back with his thin body, and perhaps the only thing he could rely on was a tackle! The player thought so.

But from the moment Margery made this choice, it was all wrong.

He didn't have that body, he didn't have that physical energy, he just used his own will to support it. Giroud's body ran over Margherina, crashed away, squeezed away, unjustified, violent aesthetics. The young man was half-hung on top of the Frenchman, and then fell heavily to the ground, unconscious, and his eyes fixed on the front court, watching Jenkinson's gap grow smaller and smaller until it was gone.

Consciousness was moving away from him, and something seemed to be shattered in his head in two.
