Chapter 17: Mixed Blessings

Chapter 17 is a mixed bag

After the start of the second half, Mourinho did arrange more changes to Arsenal's attacking routine, "little fat" Rooney's position moved to the left, and others began to cooperate with him more.

In the 46th minute, just one minute into the second half, Rooney took the ball with his back in front of the big penalty area on the left side of Leeds United, passed it back to Ramsey who followed up, turned around and wiped it in from Chen Jinlong, and Ramsey did not stop the ball, and directly "snapped" and pushed the ball back.

This is very simple, but "Little Fat" has changed from holding the ball outside the big penalty area with his back to facing the goal in the big penalty area......

"Bang!"

Rooney used the outside of his left instep, which he is not very good at, to draw a curling ball, and the ball flew around a big arc in the air to the right goal of Leeds United, but unfortunately Rooney's footwork was not well controlled, and the ball rotated too much arc and flew directly into the hands of Diaz.

"Oh――――――"

When there was a sigh in the Emirates Stadium, Diaz who fell in the small penalty area with the ball was still rejoicing, the ball was too dangerous just now, and the team had changed to defend and counterattack, but this kind of cold arrow was still unguardable!

"Ben!"

After Diaz got up, he threw the ball to Ben on the left. At the feet of Parker, Leeds United's counter-attack started from the left......

Ball in this? Parker, Jonny? After a few passes at the feet of Hausen and Lens, the follow-up Ben? Parker lifted his left foot and sent the ball to the six-yard line in front of the goal in the Arsenal penalty area.

Root? Parker's cross is a reflection of his years of experience and skill as a left-back, which has allowed him to complete assists in games countless times, and his speed, angle and accuracy have all reached the limit.

But this time......

Boom!

The ball was pushed out by Arsenal centre-back Sparks, and Shaq didn't even touch the edge of the ball, not that Shaq didn't fight for it. It was Papadopoulos and Roberto Neo who blocked him with their bodies early in the morning!

Shaq smiled and turned around and shook his head: Damn! Dog's too shitty, isn't it!? Three people play me one!?

Even at his prime, Shaq would not be able to fight for the ball in such conditions, let alone that he is now thirty years old, and his competitive form has really gone downhill.

But...... Is this defense just now, is it the choice of Arsenal's left-back, or Mourinho's tactical arrangement!?

If it's Mourinho's arrangement. Then there should be a hole in Arsenal's back line, especially in the position of left-back Papadopoulos, can it be exploited?

Shaq was still pondering, and Arsenal's attack was back on the way, and their style of play was still very fast and ferocious...... Counterattack!

The ball was pushed out by Sparks and fell to the retreating Ramsey and then back to the feet of left-back Papadopoulos, who ran out of the box, before ......

"Bang!"

Papadopoulos actually sent a long pass directly to the feet of Italian striker Sax, who ran to the left front!

Italian striker Sark is very well-rounded and he is not a striker who eats on his body. It is a typical Italian Latin striker, with a lot of movement and a lot of range of movement.

"Boom!"

Sack stopped the bouncing ball with his chest during the run, and then without waiting for the ball to land, he took the ball forward with his left foot and ran along the side, Chen Jinlong on his side had no chance to intercept at all, and only ran against the Italian on the inside.

Fortunately, although Chen Jinlong is only twenty years old now, in Simon? Grayson has progressed very quickly under his tutelage and has already played 81 professional league games. It's already very solid defensively.

Chen Jinlong, who ran close to Sark, did not give his opponent any chance to shoot with his feet or pass himself. Even the angle of the cross was sealed.

The two ran all the way into the Leeds United penalty area, and when they were getting closer and closer to the bottom line, Krowe in the central defender position rushed up, and he wanted to clamp the defense with Chen Jinlong and completely grab the ball.

However, Kshlov came running. Leeds United's central defense was exposed, and Sack passed the ball back at this moment, and the position was on the left side of the middle, the area that was originally defended by Slov!

Kindness!?

Simon off the field? Grayson was nervous all of a sudden, and the ball ...... Dangerous!

Kshlov ...... It's too aggressive!

Another Leeds United centre-back, Du Jinlong, has already come in to fill in. But a figure in a red shirt was faster than him, rushing straight from outside the big forbidden area...... Buckley!

"Bang!"

The 29-year-old Ross Barkley, who was born at Everton, moved to Arsenal at the age of 23 for £20 million, and also followed Simon? Grayson has won the World Cup and his individual quality is one of the best among England's many midfield stars.

At this time, Barkley fully showed his strength, he didn't stop the ball at all, and he just volleyed the ball!

"Whoosh!"

The ball was close to the ground and flew straight into the bottom left corner of the Leeds United goal!

The low, fast, tricky volley left Diaz, who had just moved to the middle, helpless, and he fell to the ground to save without even touching the ball......

“GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

There were earth-shattering cheers in the Emirates Stadium, and only three minutes into the second half, and 48 minutes into the game, the "Gunners" who were fighting at home finally tied the score again!

"Alas, Yuri...... Yuri! ”

Off the field, Simon? Grayson shook his head helplessly and sighed, muttering Krof's name, the goal just now is just one of the dangers of Krof's frizziness, this young Russian central defender has potential and momentum, he even scored three goals in six games for Leeds United, which is rare for a central defender.

But this frizz will definitely affect his progress, and even become the most insurmountable stumbling block on the road to a world-class central defender!

"Simon!"

Sitting Simon? Harvey, who was beside Grayson, said, "I know what you're thinking. But you look at Yuri......"

Kindness!?

Simon? Grayson looked up in amazement, and when he looked at Kshloaf in the court, he noticed that this Russian with a golden hair bowed his head was taken by Jonny? Hausen held in his arms, emotionally ...... It doesn't seem right!

This time Simon? Grayson hadn't thought much of it yet, but ten minutes later, Simon? Grayson knew the bad thing......

Arsenal have scored again!

Sack's cross from the left. Ramsey snatched the spot in front of Slov and headed the ball into the top left goal of Leeds United...... 3:2, Arsenal completed the reversal!

In this goal, Kslouf even fulfilled his basic responsibilities as a centre-back, moving a little slower and watching Ramsey finish with a header, failing to make a scramble at all.

After seeing this scene, Simon? Grayson made the decision to make a substitution immediately, and he brought Portuguese centre-back Miguel to the table. Angelo replaces Kslov. Putting his arms around the Russian youngster back to the bench, he also sat down next to him.

If you change to another head coach, you may see Kroef's performance and think that he is useless, not a malleable talent, and maybe give up, but "Brutal Simon" is the best at training young players, Simon? Grayson immediately noticed Kerslov's problem, when the player was about twenty years old. There are often setbacks that he will never forget, which will leave a psychological blow on the young players.

Get over it. The psychological aspect will be mature, and the players will be more energetic and have more ambitious prospects on the road of development!

Step on...... Many so-called "geniuses" have fallen!

Today's game is obviously a test for Kslov, the previous Barkley goal, and now Ramsey's goal, are directly related to Kslov. If the Russian teenager can't withstand the blow, his career will be uneventful.

Can Simon? What Grayson hopes to see is that Slov can tenaciously get back on his feet, usher in a qualitative leap in his comprehensive strength, and then ride the wind and waves to a higher peak!

It was a test for Kshlov. At the same time, it is also an opportunity!

After the substitution, Leeds United filled the only hole in the defence, and the Portuguese youngster, although not as talented as Slov, won in a solid way, which is the most basic quality of a central defender.

Leeds United's defence improved, the quality of their attack improved, and youngsters such as Murray, Lens and Bellaqueta began to learn how to use Shaq's protective role, and the Young Guards' attack became flexible and threatening, and they finally paid off with 77 minutes played......

In the 77th minute, Murray took the ball on the right side and crossed the bottom, but the ball was not sent to the front point or the middle, Shaq was active in this area at this time, and the German star was very smart to send the ball directly to the back point!

A short, lightning-fast white figure was seen running from outside the penalty area on the left, rushing to Arsenal's left side of the penalty area, jumping into the air and smashing the ball into the top left corner of the goal in front of right-back Vallejo...... Alex? Lens scores with a header!

“GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

After the goal, Lens yelled excitedly and rushed to the camera of the corner flag on the left, roaring in front of the camera and grabbing the Leeds United emblem in front of the shirt, as if to express his loyalty to his parent team, and his immature face looked hideous and domineering!

All competitors can't help but be jealous of Simon at this time? Grayson's good luck as they all saw that one wouldn't be better than Jonny? Hausen, Ben? Parker, Ashley? Hood's new star is rising!

The youngster's performances have been impressive before, but whether a player can contribute to the team in key games is the most critical measure of a player's value to the team.

3:3!

This score has also become the final score of this "battle for the top spot", Leeds United who are away from home have led twice, and after being equalized twice by the home team Arsenal and overtaken, the new star of the "Young Guards" Lens was born, giving the "Gunners" the most fatal blow, and the opponent's desire to win was shattered.

But this game is not known to the "Young Guard" whether it is happy or sad......

The sixteen-year-old Lens has shown the level of a star player, and the future is truly bright!

And Kroef, who is regarded as one of the team's two iron gates in the future, has made fatal mistakes twice, and it is really difficult to say whether he can be reused by "Brutal Simon" in the future, and whether there will be development. (To be continued......)
