Chapter 853: Balance Breaker
In the silence, time seemed to freeze.
Countless eyes fell from the sky with the ball, crossed the goal line, landed, bounced, and hit the net.
Desperate with Cech lying on his back, Koscielny with his head in his hands, roared and rushed frantically towards the Red Devils players on the left side of the box.
Suddenly, the wild shouts of Manchester United fans filled the entire Emirates Stadium, in the singing, in the frantic shouts of various languages intertwined in the commentary bench -
Red Devil No. 7 turned, bowed his head, and walked back calmly.
His body seemed to exude a silent and invisible power, and even his teammates who were shouting and running over were quiet.
Romelu Lukaku put his arm around Li Liang's shoulder, and soon Nemanja Matic also put his arm around Li Liang from the other side, and several United players walked side by side.
In the 68th minute, Li Liang scored twice to rewrite the score to 3:1, and Manchester United extended the away lead to two goals.
The professor lowered his head, then got up again and walked to the sidelines and clapped his hands vigorously, still encouraging his disappointed disciples.
Jose Mourinho returned to his seat and did not get up, and Faria began to direct several substitutes to prepare for adjustments.
Henry said sincerely: "I'm very glad to see Lee's performance in England......"
Big Neville exclaimed excitedly: "Manchester United fans can raise their expectations for this season dramatically!" β
The old lord sighed with emotion, looked at Bart and Little Neville and said, "I really didn't expect that one day we could have such a genius!" β
Looking at the disappointed Gunners fans around him, Pires shook his head and sighed: "What if Lee wears our jersey today?"
The result? β
Parol said categorically: "Then we will definitely break them in the first half!" β
In the 71st minute, both sides made simultaneous substitutions, with Arsenal's last substitution replacing Olivier Giroud, who had been blown up by Manchester United's No.7.
United brought on Darmian for Jesse Lingard and Ander Herrera for Ashley Young.
The attacking line of Arsenal's three center forwards has been useless in Li Liang's view.
Manchester United firmly controlled the situation with their midfield advantage, especially relying on Li Liang's advantage on the right flank to smoothly consume the game time to 85 minutes.
A long-form counter-attack by United was deflected out of bounds by Koscielny's header and the referee blew the whistle for a substitution.
Li Liang had seen the number on the electronic sign before, and he turned around and ran briskly towards the sidelines-
This was beyond the expectations of almost everyone.
Tang Meng was puzzled: "Usually only players who are behind will run off the field like this?"
Although it is an away game, I believe that this should obviously be Mourinho's reward substitution for Li Liang, so that he can accept the cheers and applause of Manchester United fans -
Why didn't Li Liang slow down and enjoy himself?! β
Big Neville was in awe: "Thierry (Henry), now I really believe Lee is really an Arsenal fan......"
Henry sighed lightly, "Respect ......"
Although there were a few, all the Manchester United fans who accompanied the team stood up and chanted: "There is only one Lee in this world-"
At the same time, accompanied by the warmest applause -
The old gentleman was also clapping, and Bart and Little Neville couldn't stop shouting, "Great! β
"Amazing!"
On the other side of the stands, Adams was the first to stand and applaud, and Parloor and Pires also stood up.
Soon, more and more Gunners fans also stood up and began to applaud the Red Devils' number 7.
After running to the sideline and hugging Martial, Li Liang finally stopped.
After shaking hands with the magic bird waiting on the side, Li Liang turned around and waved to the stands, the applause became even more enthusiastic, and he immediately bowed deeply to the stands on all sides-
Almost all the fans stood up and applauded the man who had just killed the game almost single-handedly.
Even if it was Arsenal who were defeated.
Being in the limelight at the Emirates Stadium and receiving everyone's cheers and applause used to be my biggest dream -
Unexpectedly, wearing the Red Devils' jersey was realized.
Li Liang silently took his coat and water bottle and sat on the bench, and Yibu on the side hugged Li Liang's head in his arms: "Well done, my brother!" β
The home team was powerless for the rest of the day, and with the final whistle, the game was finally settled at 3-1.
From the moment Li Liang got up and left the bench, several cameramen and all the photojournalists on the sidelines rushed towards him.
He walked over to the professor, who had just shaken hands with the magic bird, Faria, and others, and stretched out his hand to the old man: "Arsène......"
Holding Li Liang's hand tightly, the professor said with difficulty: "Congratulations, Li ......"
After exchanging good luck and agreeing with the rest of the Arsenal coaching staff, Li Liang turned around and strode onto the pitch.
β¦β¦
After greeting Big Eyes, Thighs, and the other gunners, Li Liang walked over to his teammates.
He first walked to the slightly disappointed Pogba and opened his arms: "Paul, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have won!" β
Pogba's eyes widened in surprise, and Li Liang hugged him tightly and continued: "Thank you for all the sacrifices and dedication you have made for us!" β
Even after walking to the Manchester United fans stand with his teammates at the end, there were still Gunners fans shouting Li Liang's name.
β¦β¦
At the post-match press conference, Li Liang sat next to the magic bird.
Soon it was his turn to return to the question, and a reporter asked, "...... We've all noticed that you didn't choose to celebrate, including the goals of your teammates, why is that? β
Li Liang replied: "I said that Arsenal is a great team, and I can say that a lot of my knowledge of football is related to this team.
I love the Emirates Stadium and everything about it.
So ......"
Another reporter asked: "You've got nine games in the next month, almost one every three days on average, do you feel comfortable with such a dense and intense schedule?" β
Li Liang replied: "Hmm, did you get the wrong interview outline, it seems that this should be a question for Jose (Mourinho)?" β
The audience burst into laughter.
Li Liang continued: "Okay, I know what you want to ask.
The game in England was indeed more intense than I thought it would be, and every minute here was full of confrontation.
When I was in France, I had this three-week schedule, but of course, it didn't last as long as a month here.
I'm sure my teammates and I, as well as JosΓ© and Rui (Faria), will figure out the best way to face all the next races! β
Then the professor replied to the question: "...... It was supposed to be a close contest and I don't think they had the absolute advantage.
Of course, Lee's brilliant performance upset the balance on the pitch and he put us under a lot of pressure on the right and we tried to contain him but it didn't work.
β¦β¦ I am confident that he will continue to play a successful season in England. β
β¦β¦
In the reports on the Internet and in the media after the game, Li Liang had a new name -
"Balance Breaker".
