Chapter 19: Let Me Come!

Luckily, on this day, I made one of the most important choices that would affect my life, and even the next two decades for the Arsenal club. Yes, on this day, we witnessed the rise of a future superstar. I swear I expect nothing from him, but everything he does is so perfect that I can't say anything about it.

――――"Wenger's Memoirs"

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

No one knows what Wenger's substitution will bring to Arsenal, but from the moment Qin Shou came out, the situation of the game has taken a turn.

After the restart, United quickly spotted the difference at Arsenal.

Their offensive was even more ferocious, which made them think their chance had come. This Manchester United team is very suitable for defensive counter-attacks, so after seeing Arsenal attacking with all their might, they thought that the opponent's defensive strength was weak, which was exactly what they wanted.

It's just that to their consternation, Arsenal's defensive strength in the midfield has not weakened at all, on the contrary, it has become more difficult, or rather, tough.

They discovered the fact that the new No.28 was like a tireless engine, he was like a butcher, actively running and sweeping in the midfield, his accurate positioning, timely re-defense, coupled with his blistering speed, it was not easy to break through the midfield barrier he had built.

What makes the Manchester United players feel even more depressed is that this seemingly thin Chinese player is not afraid of physical confrontation at all, and he will even take the initiative to physically collide with his own players with fierce defense, and players with outstanding physical fitness such as Hargreaves and Fletcher can only give up after several consecutive battles with him without believing in evil - this kid's thin body seems to hide a strong man, who can always knock them to pieces.

This left a lot of frustration on the part of Manchester United's players. As we all know, Arsenal is known and based on outstanding skills and subtlety in the Premier League, while Manchester United is very comprehensive, with excellent speed and strength, but in this game, this strange Chinese player gave them a slap in the face in what they are good at.

Manchester United changed their style of play, and when passing through the midfield, they chose not to collide with Qin Shou. It's just that in this way, the momentum is weaker, and Arsenal's morale is even higher. Qin Shou's sweeping cause is even more unscrupulous, even if Manchester United breaks through his barrier through cooperation, he will rely on his extremely fast speed, fly after him, and even use fouls to bring down the opponent. And Qin Shou is also very smart, he will never foul at a dangerous distance from the goal, and although his actions seem to be fierce, they are often very clean, and they are all within the tolerance range of the referee, so he only got a few verbal warnings from the referee after committing many fouls, and he didn't even get a yellow card.

For Qin Shou's "-stirring stick", the Manchester United team has no choice at all. Because of Qin Shou's appearance, they gradually fell into disadvantage in the confrontation in the midfield, and most of their offensive was ruthlessly defused by the other party, and the offensive stalled.

It's dangerous to have no attacking but only defensive situations, so when the initiative of the game falls into the hands of the home team, Manchester United's defence starts to tighten.

"Oooh, Arsenal's attack is ferocious! With no worries at the back, the whole Arsenal team is full of strength and is bound to break through the goal of Manchester United! ”

Rosicky's through ball, Van Persie picked up the ball on the run and turned to shoot...... The soccer ball grabs the post and slides through the door! ”

"Henry's long-range shot...... Wow, Van der Sar showed great courage and saved the football off the line! ”

"Here it is again! Rosicky dribbled to the edge of the box and suddenly shot from distance...... Van der Sar has once again saved Manchester United! …… I have to say that if this situation continues, no matter how brave Van der Sar is, Manchester United's goal is still in danger of being breached! ”

The voices of the commentators were drowned out by the cheers of tens of thousands of home fans, and as Arsenal continued to attack like a wave, the emotions of the Gunners fans were mobilized to the highest level, and almost no one sat in their seats, all of them stood up, clenched their fists, and waved their flags and scarves to shout and cheer.

Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson could no longer be calm, standing on the sidelines he kept making gestures, yelling angrily from time to time, and chewing gum in his mouth whenever he saw tension. And when the team saved the day, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then there was another roar like a hair dryer.

As the days wore on, Arsenal had completely dominated the pitch, with the entire midfield almost entirely theirs, and they almost beat around the United half. The game almost turned into a half-time drill, something that no one had expected before the game.

In the 59th minute, Henry received Wilshere's cross in the box and jumped high to flick his head into the goal. The ball was lifted by the Dutch goalkeeper Van der Sar, who jumped backwards. In the ensuing corner, Van Persie's stabbing shot in the chaotic penalty area was only slid out of the net.

Three minutes later, Arsenal made a comeback. Rosicky made a series of passes to his team-mates at the edge of the box and eventually dribbled into the box. The last low shot was unbelievably blocked by Van der Sar with the base of his thigh.

The goal was not scored, so that the fans at the scene couldn't help but let out a sigh of regret. If it weren't for Van der Sar's supergod-like performance in this game, maybe Arsenal would have broken through the door of the away team a long time ago, and even led by one or two goals!

In the 78th minute of the game, Arsenal's best chance to score the game finally came. After Qin Shou successfully intercepted the counterattack of the visiting team again, he did not hesitate, touched the ball with one foot, and handed the football to the feet of Rosicky, the brain of the field. Then bury yourself in the middle and sprint forward.

"I have to say that the reason why Arsenal was able to occupy the initiative on the field in the second half was due to Qin, the No. 28 player who was replaced in the second half. His defence made Arsenal's midfield extremely tough, and he made it easy for the opposition to get past the pool! ”

"Qin's defense is really eye-catching. But his passing is also very good, and his basic skills are very solid. I don't know if you have noticed that Qin's passes are all completed with one kick, ha, the pass success rate is 100%! That's an impressive statistic! ”

"Oh oh, this time Qin didn't stay in the backfield after completing the pass, he rushed up!"

When there was a lot of discussion on the commentary bench, Qin Shou had already rushed to 30 meters from Manchester United's half-time goal.

Rosicky saw Qin Shou's running position, and the next second accurately sent the football to Qin Shou's front.

"Nice and precise passing!"

Some commentators exclaimed.

And in the next moment, such praise was given to another person.

The football appeared on Qin Shou's running route at the right time, with the power of sprinting, Qin Shou in Qin running opened his thigh, and hit the bottom of the football with his right foot.

"Shoot-"

"Sudden cold shot - what a powerful shot!"

"The moment I watched the football recessed, I couldn't help but shiver!"

No one thought that Qin Shou would suddenly shoot from such a distance, the Arsenal players did not expect it, and the Manchester United team did not expect it either. By the time everyone reacted, the ball was almost in the top right corner of the goal. Van der Sar was hit by this long-range shot full of violence and power without any temper at all, and he didn't even have time to react.

"Bang~"

Once again, the goal at the Emirates Stadium saved Manchester United, and the ball slammed into the crossbar and the post, making a loud dull sound, and the goal seemed to be shaking faintly.

"It's horrible! What a power! ”

The sound of the goalpost made Van der Sar feel a sudden rush in his heart, and he couldn't imagine what would happen if the ball hit him. At this moment, he can't help but thank God in his heart, today's luck is really good, two goals have been blocked by the goalpost, it seems that luck is in Manchester United's favor today.

It was Arsenal's best chance of scoring in the second half, but the gods of luck seemed to play a joke on Arsenal, as they did their opponents a great favor again with their home post.

"What bad luck!"

"Manchester United are so lucky!"

"It's a really good shot, it's a pity...... It was blocked by the goalpost! ”

There were once again sighs of regret in the stands, followed by a tidal wave of applause.

Obviously, although the goal was unfortunately not scored, Qin Shou's powerful long-range shot still won the appreciation of the fans.

Qin Shou shook his head in disappointment, but he didn't take it to heart. If you don't score this goal, you just have to do it again, he doesn't believe that Manchester United will be so lucky every time.

Henry, Rosicky and the others gave Qin Shou a thumbs up, and even Van Persie and the others, who were not dealing with him, nodded to him slightly for the first time, indicating that he was doing a good job.

Qin Shou waved his hand, turned around and ran back to his position.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Alas, it's a pity, it's just a little bit away, and this ball is there!"

When the football rushed to the goal, He Ping couldn't help but stand up, and raised his arms, ready to cheer for Qin Shou's first goal in the Premier League, but when the football was ruthlessly rejected by the goalpost, he could only laugh dryly, full of regret.

"But no matter what, Qin Shou's shot is indeed of high quality. What a beautiful fight! Hey! Director Zhang added next to him, "It's really powerful, and I feel my blood boiling in the studio!" ”

"Judging from the performance after the appearance, Qin Shou's performance can be called perfect. Both ends of the floor are remarkable. He Ping calmed down and continued, "But it doesn't matter, there are still nearly fifteen minutes before the end of the game, and we look forward to Qin Shou's better performance!" ”

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Arsenal's attack is still fierce, but coach Alex Ferguson is old and hot, and he has begun to make substitutions. On the one hand, it is to replace the players who are physically exhausted to strengthen the team's defensive depth, and on the other hand, it is hoped to interrupt the rhythm of Arsenal's attack.

Ryan Giggs replaced Owen, who was already having fitness problems, and then brought on Carrick for Hargreaves, who had been fouling Arsenal frequently and was already carrying a yellow card.

On Arsenal's side, Wilshere and Gibbs were substituted at the same time, with Theo Walcott and striker Bendtner coming on.

In the face of the scheming Sir Alex Ferguson, Professor Arsene Wenger is also not to be outdone, he is going to give it a go, replacing a winger and a striker, the team is bound to carry out the onslaught to the end.

After the substitutions, time was running out. Despite the continuous frenzied attacks, the fitness of the Arsenal players has begun to decline, but no one wants to lose to their rivals by one goal in such a way as to be embarrassed, and the professor has replaced the team's attack with fresh blood, the Arsenal players gritted their teeth again and continued to attack towards Manchester United's half.

The nerves of the Manchester United players are also highly tense, and the opponent's attack is too fierce to allow them to be negligent. Although they were also very tired, they could only grit their teeth and hold on to it in order to win the game.

In the 85th minute of the game, Arsenal once again found a good chance to score. Walcott, who had just come on the pitch, relied on his passing speed to run wide to the bottom line and pass the football into the penalty area. There was chaos in the box, and after a flurry of football, he was kicked out of the box by Manchester United defenders.

However, the ball was not kicked far and Rosicky got the ball at the top of the box. Just as he was about to shoot with his feet, Giggs slammed into the back and knocked the former to the ground.

The referee showed Ryan Giggs a yellow card and the Welshman shrugged unconcernedly and stepped aside.

"Damn bastard!"

"What else would you do but foul?"

"You're a bunch of bastards who blaspheme art football! You deserve to be pushed to the gallows! ”

Amid the angry shouts of tens of thousands of Arsenal fans, Rosicky got up from the ground and set up the football. At this time, under the command of Van der Sar, Manchester United also began to build a human wall.

The free-kick wasn't too close or too far from the goal, about 26 or 7 meters away. If you hit the goal directly, it's okay, but the position is relatively biased, almost in the farthest area on the right side of the penalty area line, plus the blocking of the human wall, the chance of success is not great. At least Rosicky is not sure. And if you pass the ball, it may cause chaos in the opponent's penalty area.

Rosicky had made up his mind and was thinking about the route of the pass when a voice sounded behind him.

"Let me come, Thomas!"
