Chapter 174: One Man's Battle

Van Persie slotted, slammed his left foot into the football, and Cesar almost instinctively lunged towards his right. He spread his arms wide so that he could block the ball more easily.

"Oh! The ball is in! It was so exciting, a spoon penalty, it was a very bold and imaginative penalty, Arsenal were 2-0, and they already had a bigger advantage. Tang Lintian made a penalty from Robin van Persie, and Arsenal led Inter Milan 4-1 on aggregate and scored one more away goal than their opponents. It looks like the Champions League quarter-finals are beckoning for them. With a huge advantage, Inter Milan will have to score four goals in the next 65 minutes to beat them to advance, and it will look too tough to make sure their opponents don't score again. We can only pray that in tomorrow's UEFA Champions League, He Xu and Chen Bo, the twin stars of the Chinese front, will continue to work hard! ”

Chen Bo, who has always been calm, spat out quite dissatisfied at this time, "Damn, it takes four goals, it's not easy to do......"

He Xu didn't know what to do this time, and the time left for himself in the second half might be half an hour, or fifteen minutes. It's impossible to score four goals in a row for that length of time, unless the opponent is all on the pitch and can't move, but that's completely unrealistic.

Chen Bo gritted his teeth, four balls...... He Xu, I can only try to do what I can, and the rest is really up to you! Chen Bo thought so and stood in the middle circle waiting for the kickoff.

Arsenal had to stop celebrating after the referee's intervention, and Chen Bo, who had been waiting for maybe two minutes, saw the referee signal that he could serve. He quickly kicked the ball to Sneijder and ran forward.

Before running, he didn't forget to tell Sneijder, "If it doesn't work!" Just pick the pass, believe me, I can get it! ”

Sneijder didn't speak, just barely smiled bitterly and ugly. Pick a pass? I don't even have the space to pass the ball, let alone pick up a difficult maneuver.

Many people have already read the eulogy for Inter Milan with affection, and they pretended to be sentimental to recall the glory and magic of Inter Milan, nailing the current Nerazzurri to the pillar of shame.

Leonardo was almost on his knees on the edge of the field. Look at the score on the LCD screen. He seems to have seen Massimo. Moratti's angry face, what to do? Am I going to be out of class like Benitez? No, I don't want that! Absolutely not! What should I do? Thinking so, he turned his head to look at the bench? What! Right. What. I can count on this Chinese!

Think so. He wanted to ask He Xu to get up and warm up, but then he thought of Chen Bo's sixty-minute limit. Just as he hesitated, the situation seemed to change again. The fans on the sidelines shouted excitedly, "Goaaa ”

Leonardo turned his head to look at the field in some surprise, only to see Chen Bo running quickly to the sidelines, greeting the Nerazuri with affectionate kisses. And his teammates behind him looked at the back of this great figure who would later become a legend. Then the players who reacted rushed up to hug Chen Bo. 2-1, the score was rewritten again, this time the key factor is still Chinese.

He Wei, who was in charge of the live broadcast, was already a little surprised, is this the current strength of the Chinese? Just when he was about to organize the language to express his feelings, Zhang Lu, who had been speaking in a simple style, said, "A great and magical goal, Chen Bo, pulled Inter Milan back from the edge of the cliff, although this goal seems to be useless, but it still helps Inter Milan save some face on their home turf." 2-1, if the score of both legs ends up like this, then Inter Milan's loss can also be said to have no shame. ”

Chen Bo's goal aroused the excitement and cheers of the audience, and the video of the goal was replayed on the big screen again and again. After receiving a difficult pass from Sneijder, Chen Bo, who had retreated deeply, turned around and passed Arteta, facing Koscielny who was pressing, Chen Bo chose to feint, and after shaking off Koscielny, Chen Bo did not continue to move forward, because he did not want to face Chen Boyan, who was lagging behind and difficult to deal with. So he chose to shoot on the spot, a shot that didn't have a lot of power, but it was very clever from a distance. The ball made a small arc, spun around Szczesny's palm and flew into the goal.

After completing this goal, Chen Bo celebrated excitedly, but he was also silently thinking in his heart: He Xu, I can only do this! The next one is really up to you!

Chen Bo's long-range shot was even praised by He Xu on the sidelines, and he slapped it hard. It was a shot that was perfectly in his usual style, clever, effective and beautiful.

Arsene Wenger was unhappy with the goal, but he still loudly encouraged his players because he could see the way of Chen's shot. It's normal not to be able to hold this shot, he whispered to himself.

Tang Lintian's next few impacts were ended in embarrassment by Inter Milan's defenders, although Tang Lintian's breakthrough could not be prevented, but relying on the advantage of the number of defenders and Tang Lintian's preference for his own characteristics, it was still possible to prevent this kid's pass.

The two teams were locked in a difficult tug-of-war, each attacking but not scoring any goals. With such a score, it went into halftime.

Chen Bo's physical strength had reached the limit when he left the court, he didn't even walk off the court by himself, he was carried down by Alvarez.

Back in the locker room, the first thing Chen Bo said was, "I'm sorry, Mr. Leonardo!" I don't think I'll last more than 60 minutes, so please replace me now! I did my best, and the rest of the time was up to someone else. ”

Leonardo was also a little panicked at this time, he didn't expect Chen Bo to die so soon. In fact, it is normal to think about it, such a high-intensity confrontation, such as Chen Bo, a striker with a technical flow, it is indeed a little difficult to support the whole field.

In the end, after repeated comparisons and trade-offs, Leonardo finally chose to believe in He Xu. At this time, He Xu was warming up as a substitute outside. He didn't know what the manager was going to do, he just tried to keep his body moving. Even if you don't play, you should do a good job as a daily training routine to warm up. Adhering to this thought, He Xu is seriously kicking the ball towards the crossbar of the goal.

In the Arsenal dressing room, Wenger stood in the middle of the dressing room with great interest, constantly clapping and encouraging the players. Of course, if you look at the first half, the Arsenal players were perfect.

After the praise, Arsene Wenger made arrangements for the second half. He asked the team to change their tactics from a diamond-shaped stance of "4-4-2" to "4-3-1-2". Two wing midfielders Jack. Wilshire and Aron. Ramsey has both dropped back to play with Mikel Arteta at the back. Arsene Wenger has seen Arteta's embarrassment, but as the heart of the entire midfield, he can't be let off the pitch right now because the professor has chosen this compromise approach.

It seems that Leonardo is really confident, except for replacing the unwell Chen Bo with He Xu, he has not made any adjustments. This inexplicable substitution also made Coutinho, who bet with He Xu that only this game would give him a chance to play, and he chose to stay in Inter Milan, had a lot of resentment. Of course, he may have been prepared for it in his heart. Isn't it better to go to Liverpool than to stay here? Ha ha......

After finishing the warm-up, He Xu, who put on a long-sleeved coat, returned to the locker room and waited for the opportunity to play at any time in the second half. However, what surprised him a little was that before he could sit down, the head coach spoke, "He, you can play directly in the second half of the game!" Remember, we need three more goals to win the game! Chen Bo has entered one, and the next three can only rely on you......"

He Xu was silent and did not express any opinions, but silently pasted the "plaster" given to him by Li Tiangang, and checked the shin guards and sneakers. In fact, he is a little grateful to the coach, after all, he has given himself so much more time to qualify.

Leonardo added with some distrust, "It's up to you in the second half!" You're going to have to play to your strengths. Try to shoot and score! Okay? He ......" Regarding Leonardo's words, He Xu just nodded, but did not make a sound.

It seems that He Xu has now practiced the Dafa of Silence in the confrontation with the head coach. He deeply understands that his communication with the bath master or the luxury store clerk, including the brain-dead head coach in front of him, is the same. Sometimes, the best way to defend and respond is to be silent.

Before the start of the second half, Leonardo informed the fourth official of the substitution plan at the same time. Arsene Wenger is whispering something to his favourite player. Tang Lintian kept nodding yes, occasionally frowning slightly, and it seemed that he didn't agree with the head coach.

Communication between two people is very fast, and many times they are able to communicate through body language. In the end, Tang Lintian nodded with satisfaction, came to the entrance of the players' tunnel, and stood beside He Xu waiting for the start of the second half of the game.

He wanted to say a few words to He Xu, and he found that He Xu was silent, He Xu clenched his hands into fists in places that others couldn't see, and said to himself in his heart: Come on! He Xu, the battle that belongs to you alone has just begun!! (To be continued......)
