Chapter 136: Sliding Shovel
Because of Youmo's horizontal insertion, an ordinary U19 game turned into an offensive battle between Mars and Earth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The game of the youth team is like this, if everyone is not famous, you come and go, and you play without shock. Once a big name joins, a strong sense of competitiveness and expressiveness are activated at the same time, and everyone wants to show their skills in the same competition!
The so-called "opponent decides his own level", in which everyone plays beyond the norm.
The guy who is said to be worth more than Beckham actually went out in person, and it is really rare to have the opportunity to compete in the same game!
So the last 30 minutes of the game turned into a goal battle, and the two sides went back and forth until the score was locked at 3:3, and then they were unwilling to accept the whistle at the end of the game.
Although Youmo was the focal point, he did not take on the field, except for the role of defensive leader in defence, he did not have a strong presence in attack, except for the occasional set-piece opportunity, most of the time he stayed honestly in his own half.
But to be honest, the strength is there, and a few expressive guys on the other side tried to open a gap from him several times, and finally lost without exception, and there was no suspense at all one-on-one!
It's a pity that he is a newcomer after all, and he has almost zero understanding with his teammates, and there is no tacit understanding between them, and in the end his efforts failed to bring a victory to the team.
As soon as the game ended, the players on both sides immediately revealed their true colors, and the guys who quickly gathered around scrambled to be the first, noisy and yelling, and almost fought for his jersey.
Fortunately, this product is experienced, and when he saw this, he immediately asked someone to send a pen that could sign on the jersey, and met these guys of his age one by one, but the level was 108,000 miles apart.
There were also a lot of strange questions, but none of them could stump him, but the witty answers further activated the atmosphere, making everyone nostalgic.
The Arsenal U19 players, who had been cautious, had a pleasant afternoon.
Arsene Wenger finally arrived, and after hearing what the thing was doing, he couldn't keep his mouth shut in surprise.
It's rare to be able to relax in a game, and you still play as a central defender?
What do you think?
"I'm just as surprised as you are."
When the team assembled, Arsene Wenger stood at the front of the group to speak, with Pat Rice and Jumo standing behind him. The three formed an equilateral triangle, shrouded in the setting sun at the Kearney base.
"In everyone's eyes, this game is a game for him and the perfect time to enjoy the sport to the fullest."
"You've been in the sport for a long time, so you should know one thing very well."
"The fun of defending successfully and the fun of scoring goals can't be compared together, the gap is too big."
"And he, in this situation, still refuses to be the glory of being the center of attention, silently standing in front of the goal, and continues to hone his skills at the foot in the seemingly simple backfield pass."
"Maybe you haven't experienced the great temptation, so it's hard to understand how difficult it is for him to overcome to do so."
"A person who wants to become famous may only need to spend just a few years to become a successful person in the eyes of people."
"But what about after you become famous? Do you spend a lot of time and a lot of money to enjoy? ”
"Obviously, in the competitive field, success is only temporary, every season, every game, is a new beginning, a challenge against the current!"
"Only by withstanding temptation can the road ahead not deviate from the direction!"
......
The lively winter transfer window has come to an end, and only Liverpool has bought a role player and a demon in the final four, while the other three have been in the limelight, causing quite a stir in the entire European football world.
Manchester United are undoubtedly the focus of discussion.
The most valuable player, the most valuable defensive player, broke the record twice in one transfer window, and deserves to be the Treble winner!
It's a pity that after the ridicule, there are very few people who are optimistic that they can perform a miracle again. Even die-hard Red Devils fans feel that with the current state of the team, it is not easy to win the league title. Defending the Champions League is something that has never been done before, and it is really not enough.
Arsenal have adhered to the usual transfer style, and Arsene Wenger, who has done big things with little money, has once again become the object of praise. It's a pity that the core that I just found inherited the fine traditions of my predecessors, and it was not the thigh muscles that hurt it, but the fiery hearts.
Both teams have reached the last 16 of the Champions League and United face a much bigger challenge than Arsenal due to their poor group stage performances, and the first leg of the knockout tie in midweek will attract more attention.
The impact of the third-line operation is certainly not small, and the test of the coaching ability of the head coach is also great. With the two teams in the final draw last season, if they can't get one back this season, the battle between Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson will be sealed and there is little chance of turning around.
Compared with the top two in the table, Chelsea's actions also show the domineering of the local tyrant team. With Nicolas Anelka's official debut at Stamford Bridge, it is clear that the pace of the team's quest for the league title has accelerated considerably. In the new round of odds to win the title, this team has already drawn with Arsenal, only less than 30% behind Manchester United at the top of the table!
Considering the north London derby of the century is set to be in two weeks' time, every move of both teams is in the spotlight, sparking a lot of speculation.
Of course, for the players, it's the game in front of them that counts.
Arsenal's opponents in this round are West Ham United, who play at home and have nothing to ask for.
Due to the tie between the two teams in the previous round, Highbury Stadium was greeted with earth-shattering boos and abuse before the start of this round, and fans greeted almost every member of the Hammers cordially.
Rio Ferdinand was lucky enough to move to Manchester United at this juncture, not only setting a record for the value of a defender, but also avoiding the current embarrassing situation.
You know, after a series of broken leg incidents, the West Ham United defensive leader fell out with his teammates on the spot and almost made a move. If he is still in the team, it is inevitable that he will feel awkward in the face of such overwhelming condemnation.
Compared to him, Frank Lampard has been less lucky.
The England star, who has risen to fame in the past two years, turned down a high salary offer from Chelsea last summer and was planning to join his team-mates in a top-four finish, only to see it all go down the drain after a game of defeat and defeat!
Public opinion was condemned, the results plummeted, and the senior general in the team left in the winter window......
Who is to blame?
"Come on."
As the two teams shook hands before the game, Jumo, who walked up to Lampard, shouted casually.
The sound is not loud, but it attracts several cameras at the same time, and I can't wait to analyze the facial expressions of the two people one by one with close-ups.
Smell of gunpowder, smell of gunpowder!
The results were somewhat disappointing.
"Same."
Frank Lampard's expression was equally calm, except for an imperceptible surprise in his deep brow, which not even a high-powered camera could capture.
After a short exchange, the whistle began.
Rosicky's injury makes Arsenal's lineup have little suspense, let alone the opponent, ordinary fans can guess it.
Lehmann, Ashley Cole, Chloe Toure, Yumo, Lauren, Vieira, Grimandi, Pire, Wiltord, Bergkamp, Henry.
Such eleven may not be the strongest configuration of the team, but in such a vengeful Ultraman vs Little Monster game, there is not much pressure to take all three points. As long as the defense doesn't make low-level mistakes, the Hammers, who are in a slump and have lost their leader, have few chances, and the chances of taking points and leaving are really not high.
The course of the game also looked a little lacking in suspense.
In the 27th minute of the first half, Wiltord, who had already found his groove in the right midfield position, contributed a wonderful pass. Henry didn't rush to shoot after stopping the ball in the far corner of the goal, and with a shake of his left foot, he sent a just right overhead arc!
Bergkamp arrived and scored with a direct volley from the right side of the penalty area!
The game became more and more relaxed, and if it wasn't for a little lack of luck, the first half would have been 3:0.
But even if it's unlucky, the fans don't regret it.
In such a battle of revenge, there is suspense to be exciting. If the game goes into garbage time early, the feeling of beating the Reservoir Dog is not as good as the feeling of a hungry wolf.
They want to see the Hammers in their dying throes, not like dead dogs who can't fight back and scold back.
Compared to the emotional fans, the attitude of the Arsenal players is much calmer.
It's not that the gunmen are professional, it's that the revenge has been avenged, and there's no need to be angry with others. The most important thing is to be able to win comfortably and stay in good shape for the Champions League knockout round in four days and the century derby in north London ten days later.
You Mo actually thought the same thing, but when he saw that once familiar face, his heart inevitably shook twice.
"Aren't you going to prove something?"
As the players from both teams made their way to the dressing room, the guy deliberately slowed down and waited until Frank Lampard appeared next to him before he smiled and asked, "Just lost so calmly?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the originally depressed West Ham players suddenly looked bad, and even the Arsenal players, they couldn't understand it.
If you can win easily, why provoke your opponent?
"No, of course not!" Frank Lampard paused for a moment and his tone became firm: 'The last leg was full of regrets and I don't want to miss my chance again!' ”
"Me?" Yu Mo laughed, "Why don't you use 'us'?" ”
As soon as the words fell, finally a West Ham player couldn't help it.
"Don't be complacent, you're in for the second half!"
The speaker was just an ordinary member of the Hammers, but the indignation in his tone just expressed everyone's feelings. So when entering the player's tunnel and the camera was no longer with him, the heart that had disappeared quickly gathered and merged into a roar.
"We'll see!"
Compared to their rival West Ham players, the Arsenal players were a little sluggish. Fortunately, the identity and status of this product are really special, and they can respond to it without raising their arms. The Gunners' ridicule and disdain quickly filled the entire tunnel of players.
"Come on, I'm afraid you won't make it!"
......
The result of the provocation is naturally the tip of the needle.
Needless to say, the Arsenal players have not forgotten the name "Frederick Ljungberg". When the object of revenge dared to shout, they decided to give a head-on blow!
As if to welcome the fans' thoughts, the revenge battle began to live up to its name, and not long after the start of the second half, both teams contributed three yellow cards!
It's hard to say that it's exciting, but it's definitely exciting, and it's a bit of a derby in it.
It's a pity that after West Ham United lost Leo Ferdinand, the defense has lost its backbone, and the possibility of problems in the defense has become much greater, and they have to adopt the tactics of defending and counterattacking to wait for opportunities to score. This reduces the enjoyment of the game to a certain extent, but makes the outcome of the game full of suspense.
Arsenal's attacking group in front of the field has lost Rosicky's tandem effect, and the average number of threats created in the whole game has dropped by more than 30%. In the face of the opponent's bucket formation, they don't have many options, and luck is still not on their side.
Twenty minutes passed in a flash, and the two sides began to deploy troops.
Arsene Wenger brought on Kevin Ashley for Grimandi and then Gald for Thierry Henry, pushing Wiltord up front.
The intention of such a substitution is obvious.
Curl up for three points!
West Ham, by contrast, have given it a go, bringing on a striker and a black, hard midfielder to free up Frank Lampard.
This move to encircle Wei and save Zhao worked well, and in the next game, the Hammer Gang soldiers seemed to have found the direction of attack, whether in the air or on the ground, they were trying to create opportunities for him as much as possible.
In the 77th minute of the game, after a series of tacit cooperation, West Ham United successfully crossed Arsenal's midfield defense, crossed the halfway line, and formed a quick counterattack!
A 45-degree cross from the right!
Chlo Toure reacted quickly this time and went headlong without waiting for his opponent to threaten!
As a result, the ball hit the referee who couldn't dodge, refracted and gave the opponent a second chance to attack!
The West Ham player quickly picked up his wallet and rushed towards it with great vigour!
The accident caused some mistakes in Arsenal's defence, so much so that when Frank Lampard stopped the ball in front of the penalty area and was about to shoot a shot, the nearest guy was two metres away!
Just when all the Arsenal people gasped and could only pin their hopes on Lehmann, a centre-back wearing the number 9 shirt appeared directly in front of the ball, two metres away.
He didn't run forward to interfere with his opponent, nor did he jump up to block the shot, as if he had expected it, and at the moment when the opponent's heavy artillery exploded, he kicked his right foot and leaned back, like a headless train, towards the right side of the penalty area!
Slide shovel!
Using a sliding tackle to dispel a long-range shot from two metres away? (To be continued.) )
