Chapter 80: Against Sunderland

"Hehe, I didn't expect this girl to be so competitive."

Looking at the delicate card that Emma signed for herself, Xiang Hao couldn't help laughing, waved at Emma, who was still staring at him at the gate, and hurriedly stepped on the accelerator to flash people.

This girl is really stingy, didn't she just give her a pack of tissues, as for giving birth to so much atmosphere.

Thinking of the calm and super confident elegant appearance when she took the initiative to hand her autograph just now, and then she was destroyed by herself, Xiang Hao was still very proud, and she was still smirking while driving the car, "Hehe, this girl is really smart and cute." ”

"Stinky guy, hateful guy, big badass!"

Emma, who is standing in the yard at the moment, where is there still the indifference and confidence of a big star, but like the little girl next door who has been bullied, her delicate little face is red with anger.

Looking at the tissue in her hand, remembering the phrase he teased herself just now, 'wash your nose', Emma felt a burst of anger, and no one had ever made fun of herself like this, "Hmph, damn it, he's still so annoying." ”

Emma had a little affection for Xiang Hao, but she was replaced by that unconvinced.

Looking at the jaguar in the distance, Emma unconsciously pursed her lips and hummed a few words, then closed the door and went home to read.

I have already made up my mind that I will not have any intersection with this person anymore, it is too bullying.

Emma didn't plan to have anything to do with Xiang Hao, and Xiang Hao didn't have time to talk about life with her.

The small fight with Emma is just a small episode of Xiang Hao in the past few days, the Champions League is over, and the league is ensuing.

After a three-day break, Arsenal soon welcomed their seventh-round opponents, Sunderland, a team from the north-east known as the 'second team of Manchester United'.

said that Sunderland is Manchester United's second team, in addition to being Manchester United's usual score-giving boy, there is another one, that is, it likes to take over from Manchester United, and many players in the Manchester United team who can't play can gain a foothold in the Sunderland team.

Even their manager, Roy Keane, who is now Manchester United's former captain, came to Sunderland to start his managerial career after his retirement.

"Remember, be sure to steal the ball from their feet at the first opportunity! That group of soft eggs is afraid of confrontation, you have to show your hardness to come out, tell that group of children what the game is, you must not let that Hao easily play the ball, disrupt his rhythm at all costs, hear clearly! ”

Hoarse and even with a metallic voice, Keane swept over his team members sharply, issued the team's 'nirvana order', and when talking about Xiang Hao, he even twisted his eyebrows and stared, with a full expression of anger.

Born in Arsenal's old rivals Manchester United, Keane has a natural tendency to pay attention to Arsenal's dynamics, and he is well aware of how 'fragile' the will of this Arsenal team is after the departure of his old rivals Patrick Vieira.

As long as you can interfere with their game and make them play 'hard', anything is possible and Arsenal are by no means invincible.

As for the player with many 'new' titles, Keane was quite disgusted, because he touched his nerves.

is also talented, also blessed by the 'godfather', soaring, and arrogant in the media, Xiang Hao reminded him of the season when he was swept away by his 'father', the little brother who made him extremely 'hated' - Ronaldo.

After the media dubbed Xiang Hao "a combination of Vieira and Keane", the Sunderland manager was completely furious.

It was one of the most glorious times that represented him, and a young man who had only played a few good games could compete with himself and his strongest opponents.

Keane felt angry no matter how he thought about it, especially Xiang Hao reminded him of Ronaldo and his last years at Old Trafford, which added fuel to the fire.

However, Keane is now the head coach, and he has to suppress his unbridled mouth, but he also passes on this fire to his 'disciples'.

He wanted to take a good look at whether this young man was really as strong as the media boasted, and could bring himself and Patrick together to be tough.

At this time, Xiang Hao didn't know that in the game against Sunderland, there was already a big net open, waiting for him to drill into it, he was still the same as before, quietly listening to the old man's arrangement.

"Denilson, you have to help Hao share more of the defensive pressure when you come on the pitch; Aaron, you also have to play to your running strengths and take on a little bit more on the attack.

You are responsible for the selection of Samir's attack, but you have to play with Robin and Hao in the ribs; Theo, Robin's back is your area of activity, and the opponent is likely to be very tight in this game, so the first step is very important, you have to play to the advantage of speed. ”

Wenger told his attacking players the main tactical points of the game, and beckoned Xiang Hao to come over.

"Hao, in this game, Sesk can't play, so you need to be more active in the range of activities, not only responsible for the defense of the backfield, but also more about the organization of the frontcourt, your task in this game is very heavy, you have to know how to make trade-offs."

This is the first time he has clearly made Xiang Hao the core of the entire team's offense and defense, and Wenger had to remind his disciple a few words to make him more conscious.

In the last game of Porto, Ferreira has studied that Xiang Hao is the first point of the whole Arsenal, and this time Cesc Fabregas was unable to play due to a recurrence of an ankle injury, and Xiang Hao's tactical value is even more certain.

Wenger didn't believe that Keane would not make a special arrangement for Xiang Hao, especially since he also played in the back in the past, he would definitely let his players snatch Xiang Hao's ball desperately, and then think of Keane's style in the past, so Wenger was not very relieved and ordered him a few words.

"Well, I understand,"

Xiang Hao didn't realize Wenger's subconscious worry, but he could hear Wenger's weight on himself, nodded heavily, and made his own answer.

He didn't know what was waiting for him in this game, it was an old Jianghu's 'test' for him.

"Well, that's good, let's get on the field."

Seeing that his disciples seemed to respond to their assurances, Wenger didn't say anything more, clapped his hands, and let the players enter the players' tunnel.

Everything went according to the rhythm of the game, and under the leadership of Lee Masson, the players of both teams entered the Stadium of Light.

“ImOnMyWay! Sunderland! ”

"Guys, come on, kill the Londoners!"

"Shhh

"Little babies, you wait to cry your nose!"

The distinct shouts echoed in every corner of the Stadium of Light as the players from both sides entered the stadium.

And with Masson's whistle, the game officially began, and the shouts in the stands were gradually replaced by boos, even a kind of playful shouting.

"Damn, this one also blows fouls, will you blow the penalty after all!"

"****, they are faking falls, fake falls, do you know!"

"You Made, this can also fall to the ground, little babies, you just go back and hide in the bed!"

With the clamor in the sky, the Stadium of Light has become a gladiatorial arena, and Sunderland fans have changed from their previous chagrin to a kind of pride in watching the show.

Once, twice, three times...

Sunderland's players thoroughly implemented the tactical arrangement of their manager Keane, using their physical 'confrontation' again and again to disrupt Arsenal's attacking rhythm, and crazy pressing can be seen everywhere on the pitch.

Although Masson blew fouls more frequently, the referee from this teacher was very cautious in his cards.

And Keane's preparation for this game is really sufficient, every foul is not too boundary, but he can always get stuck in the most uncomfortable node of the Arsenal players, and he can't play the cooperation he wants.

The game was completely fragmented by Sunderland's foul and the referee's decision, and Arsenal could not play their own fluid attacking mode, and the game was completely locked in a stalemate.

'Beautiful, that's it, that's it, don't let him get the ball comfortably!' ’

Looking at his team member No. 9 Cisse, who had been forcing the player he wanted to suppress from the front court to the backcourt, forcing the other party to pass back, Keane secretly applauded in his heart, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily flashed a trace of pride.

Keane's eyes couldn't help but look at his side, his 'father''s old rival', looking at the other party's frown and shaking his head, helpless look, Keane looked very proud.

Only by defeating this 'uncle' level opponent can he call out to his father-like Ferguson, go to him in person, and tell him that it was his mistake and his loss to give up on himself back then.

Keane's eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of madness, watching the game go on the way he envisioned, Keane walked back to his coach's bench with confidence.

Compared to Keane's appearance of sitting on Tarzan, Wenger looked a little anxious.

This game is not so much about Ramsey replacing Cesc Fabregas, but rather as Xiang Hao replacing the Spaniard's tactical role, and the task is heavier.

Not only does he need to hold the ball for a long time on offense, but also on defense, he can't lose his original hardness, and he is completely a role that picks up both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and is no longer just the pivotal role that was responsible for the transition between offense and defense.

The cooperation with several people in the front court is no longer just a bold pass, but more in a small area, direct sharp and delicate transmission, which tests endurance and sense of smell, and is more meticulous in the sense of space and teammates' running.

Switching between different modes, even if Xiang Hao is a genius, it is difficult to make a perfect transition in a short period of time.

And Xiang Hao also really realized what kind of treatment a superstar is, from the first time he got the ball, there were already people nearby who were forced to grab it, constantly interfering with his dribbling.

If you want to pass the ball, there are people on the other side who are blocking your own ball route, and you can play the ball, but there are definitely defenders who make moves around you and interfere with your own ball route.

Xiang Hao became the target of the whole stadium, and Arsenal's attack fell into a kind of stiffness.
