Thanks to Thierry Henry's goal, Arsenal equalised.

Arsenal fans were thrilled and celebrated their goals in the stand. The Arsenal players on the pitch were also very happy, to equalise meant that their attack had a result, the equaliser, they could at least take a long breath, and as long as the game was played normally, they believed that the victory would be theirs.

In the coach's box, coach Arsene Wenger also smiled lightly.

He was very satisfied with the team's performance in the second half, with a goal, the game was much more stable, at least Arsenal would not lose the game inexplicably, they were on the same starting line as the opponent, and they were stronger, completely in control of the game, Wenger felt that the next game should be completely Arsenal.

What pleased him even more was Cesc Fabregas's performance.

Since meeting Cesc Fabregas two years ago, Wenger has considered the young Spaniard a talent, and now, Fabregas has been at Manchester United for two years, during which Wenger has given Fabregas a lot of guidance and let him play with the youth team, and this season whenever he has the opportunity, Wenger will let Cesc Fabregas play with the first team.

The League Cup, the FA Cup, Cesc Fabregas has already appeared.

It's just that he hasn't landed on the Premier League schedule yet, and Arsene Wenger has his own considerations in this regard. The Premier League is different from the League Cup and the FA Cup, their opponents will be mature Premier League teams, these teams may not be as strong as Arsenal, but they will definitely have experienced defensive players, so it will be difficult for Cesc Fabregas to perform, football history has proven that most Spanish players are difficult to stand out in the English league, and the reason is that English football is too confrontational, in comparison. Cesc Fabregas, although a little better than the average Spanish player, is still weak in physical confrontation.

It's nothing, Wenger is most afraid that defeat will hit Cesc Fabregas, after all, he is still young and does not need to experience this too early, Wenger still feels that Fabregas has more experience in other games. Then go to represent the team and officially step into the Premier League.

But for now, Cesc Fabregas is doing well.

That goal had a lot to do with Cesc Fabregas, and it was his pass that found Bergkamp's spot, who had the chance to get a good shot at Thierry Henry. The pass was also a testament to Cesc Fabregas's big-picture vision, a natural playmaker in attack.

"Hopefully he can keep up with that performance." Arsene Wenger looked back at the game with some anticipation.

……

Arsenal's celebratory goal didn't last long and soon the game was on again.

With the goal just now, the Arsenal players were full of confidence, they equalised and faced a 'weak team'. What's the suspense of the game? The next thing they have to do is extend their lead until they crush their opponents!

Their attacks continued to be fierce after that......

At the same time, Wigan Athletic faced a big dilemma, Arsenal's equaliser was really a big blow for them, they finally took a lead by one goal, and then they were chased back, and then they faced Arsenal's endless attacks and no hope of counterattacking, this situation is too unfavorable.

Zhang Tiehan also felt a lot of pressure.

He tried to defend but was still scored by the opponent. He felt powerless for the goal and he was standing next to Cesc Fabregas. But the opponent just passed the ball directly. He knows Cesc Fabregas by name and he can see that the Arsenal star does have a lot of style - he has good footwork and is decisive on the ball.

After a few observations, he found Cesc Fabregas useful in Arsenal's attack.

But what he didn't expect was that Cesc Fabregas could play a vital role in Arsenal's attack, and Vieira, whom he had been defending. There was very little in the attack in the second half.

"It's weird." This really makes it difficult for Zhang Tiehan to understand.

Vieira!

He is definitely one of the best midfielders in the world!

Vieira is always one of the focal points in the current Premier League, and his name has sometimes overshadowed Arsenal striker 'Thierry Henry the Great', not because of the goals, but because of his role in the team. Now he is the captain of Arsenal, the heart of the midfield, whether it is attacking or defending, Arsenal has always played around Vieira, as long as you know some Arsenal people, you can understand Vieira's role at Arsenal.

This is well known.

Such a star, when the young Cesc Fabregas came on, Vieira became silent, showing little in attack and even taking the initiative to retreat to stabilize the team's defence...... No one will believe it when he says it, but it happened, and Zhang Tiehan couldn't believe it.

"This guy is good enough!" Zhang Tiehan couldn't help but admire.

Then he decided to switch opponents.

……

Cesc Fabregas didn't know that he had been targeted by Zhang Tiehan, and he was still immersed in the game. Before the game, he didn't know if he could get a chance, but when the team faced a crisis, he had Wenger's trust, and he was grateful to Wenger for giving him a chance, so he tried to report Wenger's trust with his performance.

Passing and running, he felt he was in good shape.

'It was the Carabao Cup final, I played well and the team played well. Cesc Fabregas thought, with the ball at his feet as he watched his team-mate's movements and prepared to pass.

Just then, a Wigan Athletic player followed.

Cesc Fabregas immediately became vigilant, seeing the opponent slowly pasting over, he was not in a hurry, and slowly dribbled the ball as he did just now, his eyes swept in the direction of the Wigan Athletic penalty area, looking for a good opportunity to stuff the ball to his teammates.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a pain under his feet in front of his eyes, and then his body was unstable and fell directly to the ground!

"Cesc Fabregas is down......"

"It's Zhang! He made a clean tackle! ”

This is really a clean tackle, Zhang Tiehan's foot and Fabregas's leg did not have any contact, but the football and Fabregas's leg made contact, so Fabregas also fell to the ground cleanly.

When he stood up with his teeth rubbing his calves, he could only see that the opponent had already dribbled towards his half.

The counterattack was fruitless, Zhang Tiehan just crossed the halfway line with the ball, and was surrounded by three Arsenal players, including Vieira, in the middle, and then the football went to the feet of the Arsenal players. However, it had some effect on Cesc Fabregas, who was cut off and tackled fiercely.

Fabregas was a little annoyed.

This is a football game, not a brutal wrestling brawl, even if the opponent tackles the ball accurately, with such a big force to knock him down? In his opinion. This is definitely a dangerous move, but unfortunately the referee turned a blind eye at all, the referee thought it was a good ball, as for whether it was rough or not, it was not in his consideration.

The game continued.

Cesc Fabregas also continued to try to organise the attack, but he found that the player who had just tackled the ball had been following him, and he knew that it was Zhang Tiehan, who could be recognized by the number behind him, and this player scored a goal in the first half. I didn't expect his defense to be difficult to entangle.

Cesc Fabregas gave Zhang Tiehan a hateful look and decided to teach him a lesson and let him know that football is not something that can be played well by being rude alone.

So when the football was handed to Fabregas again, even if Zhang Tiehan was in front of him, he did not rush to pass the ball, but slowly brought it forward.

It seems that he is looking for a chance to get past Zhang Tiehan!

Fabregas had never been to anyone before, just receiving and passing the ball. Zhang Tiehan still felt that this kid was not good at dribbling, but he didn't expect to put on such a posture now.

"Interesting." Zhang Tiehan smiled.

The other players on the pitch also noticed. The Arsenal players didn't stop it, they just did their job, they didn't worry about Fabregas at all, they all train with Fabregas on weekdays, and naturally they know that Fabregas's foot skills are quite good, which is even good at passing Pire. He has to bow down to the upper hand in terms of technique - he is better at speed, not dribbling.

The Wigan Athletic players also watched.

Their ideas are completely contrary to those of the Arsenal players...... How is Fabregas's technique, they don't know the way, they only know that no one in the team can be sure to pass Zhang Tiehan, and it is enough to know the way. Ellington and Makarocchi even wondered if they were going to be ready to fight back.

Cesc Fabregas still dribbles forward.

Zhang Tiehan stared at his feet, 'seeing through' the launch, he could clearly know Fabregas's actions - feints, feints, or feints.

“Fuck！” Zhang Tiehan couldn't help but curse secretly.

Fabregas's feet kept shaking on the football, and he looked dazzled when he stepped out of the bicycle one by one, this scene was very eye-catching, it really had the style of artistic football, and what made Zhang Tiehan care more was that this guy's feints one by one were not in a hurry to get out of the ball, so he didn't have a chance to complete the steal.

Zhang Tiehan doesn't have that much patience, he feels that this guy does so many gorgeous actions just to be a foil for himself, that's not good!

When will I be a foil!?

"Damn, you're so naïve!" Zhang Tiehan scolded angrily, and no longer looked at Bregas's feet, so he directly leaned over to it, and then his shoulder 'lightly' forced, Fabregas didn't even react to what happened, and fell directly to the ground.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle came belatedly, and he awarded Arsenal a set-piece and warned Zhang Tiehan, "Watch your movements." ”

Zhang Tiehan shrugged his shoulders and smiled at the referee in a friendly manner.

At this time, the Arsenal fans in the audience couldn't wait to start an endless attack on Zhang Tiehan -

"This guy is so savage!"

"Look at how gorgeous Francisco's action was just now, he actually interrupted like this!"

"He should be given a red card and let him go!"

Arsenal fans were furious and kept attacking Zhang Tiehan, but it didn't have any effect at all, and the referee couldn't give Zhang Tiehan a card for a physical collision, because that action couldn't even be dangerous, as for Fabregas falling to the ground? Who made him too thin, who can blame him.

……

When Cesc Fabregas fell to the ground, Arsene Wenger in the dugout covered his face with his hands.

His worst fears had happened.

Fabregas is too young, experience aside, his body is still thinner than ordinary players, which makes his confrontation ability a little weak, in the face of a player like Zhang Tiehan who is known for his body, what is the use of his skills no matter how gorgeous he is?

A slight bump - to the ground!

Squeeze hard – hurt ...... Of course. Cesc Fabregas is not yet weak enough to be the 'glass man', but he is too young, he doesn't have much game experience, and his mentality is still a little immature, and Wenger's biggest concern is that he will suffer a big loss when he faces a physically strong defender. That's why he has never been allowed to participate in the Premier League.

Now in the League Cup, it's happening too.

If it weren't for Cesc Fabregas coming on in the second half, Wenger would have even considered whether to replace him now, young people have been hit so hard, their mental quality is not strong, many will even collapse, this is what he is most worried about, but these are always experienced.

"Take it as a lesson! Luckily, the opponent is just Wigan Athletic......," Wenger comforted himself.

Then the game continued.

Arsenal still have the advantage of pressing on the field, but Cesc Fabregas is getting worse and worse. Getting worse and worse...... When Zhang Tiehan kept defending him, he couldn't even pass and catch the ball, let alone pass any wonderful through balls.

He was afraid of Zhang Tiehan, so he made a body collision.

With this kind of worry, it is strange that he can behave well, and Zhang Tiehan is taking advantage of his mentality to constantly have direct physical contact with him...... When other teammates felt that the defense was difficult, Zhang Tiehan felt that the defense work was too easy and too interesting.

It's just that defense alone can't win.

He also had to think about how to score goals.

Before, it was a difficult question. Against a team like Arsenal, it's too hard to find their holes. He can't get the ball up front, he can't get the ball at the back, and it's too difficult to score in such a passive situation.

But it doesn't matter......

When he saw Fabregas cowering, Zhang Tiehan smiled.

"Pay attention to the next time that kid catches the ball, you guys are ready to catch the ball, and then pass forward with a big foot!" Zhang Tiehan instructed Ridell like this.

Ridell's performance in this game was average.

He had just returned from injury a few days ago. Participating in such a big battle now, the state is very average, there is no outstanding role in the offense, and the defense is not as good as the team's defenders, in short. His performance is very poor, if the rating is concerned, Zhang Tiehan can score more than 7 points with a goal, Bregin, Jensen and others can also score 6 points with defense, and Ridell is estimated to only have 3 or 4 points.

But that doesn't stop him from mastering his feet.

It's just that in the face of Arsenal, his foot skills can't be played.

Hearing Zhang Tiehan's words, he immediately nodded, "You can do it without worry, Zhang!" I'll pay attention! In fact, he was still a little puzzled about what Zhang Tiehan was going to do, but when Zhang Tiehan approached Cesc Fabregas and then suddenly started to intercept the ball passed to Fabregas by an Arsenal player, he knew it.

Distance yourself from the Arsenal players and leave yourself in space!

Then catch the ball!

Sure enough, the football came, and Ridell took two steps forward with the ball, and saw that Zhang Tiehan had crossed the middle line at a rapid pace, and he sprinted forward without stopping, as if he was not participating in a football game, but a 100-meter sprint track and field race, or the Olympic level.

Without hesitation, Ridell made a long pass of the ball.

The football flew almost halfway across the field and landed on the edge of the Arsenal penalty area, and it was only then that the Arsenal players who stayed in the front did not realize anything, but they could only look blankly at the backfield, and there was no time to do anything.

The only one in time is Vieira!

Yes, Vieira!

Zhang shook off Toure and Campbell, but Vieira followed. He's not a defender, but no one knows why he's going to be at the bottom of the team. At this time, everyone in the stadium was staring at the front of the Arsenal penalty area, where there were only Zhang Tiehan and Vieira.

Zhang Tiehan's speed slowed down, he looked back at the hanging football, turned sharply and stopped the ball with his chest, and then Vieira also took the opportunity to chase after him.

……

"Wigan Athletic's counter-attack, Zhang was very fast, he received a pass in front of the penalty area, and the only one who followed was Vieira!" Many of the commentators were also excited.

Vieira came behind Zhang Tiehan.

In fact, from the second half, Vieira's position has been retreating, almost on par with Campbell and other central defenders, and after 20 minutes of the game, he did not go to the front, he stayed in the backfield like a defender.

This is he expressing his displeasure with Arsene Wenger!

As long as you are an Arsenal fan, you can tell. He has a conflict with Cesc Fabregas, who is the kind of player who controls the attack, who is born at the core, who is born playmaker, and he, Patrick Vieira. It's also the core, both offensively and defensively.

Cesc Fabregas is very talented, and Vieira also admits that next season, Cesc Fabregas is likely to be his replacement, but only a substitute, Fabregas is still young, not even seventeen years old, such a young man. Patrick Vieira still doesn't care, believing that as long as he's in the team, Cesc Fabregas won't be able to squeeze out his place.

However, Arsene Wenger brought Cesc Fabregas on the pitch.

Cesc Fabregas came on the pitch and it was nothing, but if it was a substitution, Fabregas should have replaced himself so that Vieira felt better because he and Fabregas had a clear clash of positions. Both of them are on the field, are they here to organize the attack? Who's at the heart of the team's attack?

It's not clear at all.

But Cesc Fabregas came on for Silva...... So Vieira was in an awkward position.

He has been leading the team's attack. But after Fabregas came on the field, he had to give the ball to Cesc Fabregas, and according to Fabregas's style, he directly controlled the responsibility of organizing the attack, and then the team's attack...... There would be nothing wrong with Vieira.

It's not that Cesc Fabregas is much better than Vieira, in fact, Vieira has to defend more. And he's never been the kind of player who constantly works with his team-mates, he's been a midfielder, completely different from Cesc Fabregas, a pure attacking player.

Both were on the pitch, with Cesc Fabregas being the more prominent.

As a result, Vieira simply retreated to the back. Seeing Fabregas perform, it turned out that after that goal, Fabregas was directly restricted, and even had this opponent's counterattack.

Fortunately, he noticed the opponent's number 13 and had time to retreat to the defense.

"This Thirteen is really dangerous...... It would have been nice to have Cesc Fabregas as the number 13, in that case, his style would be a good fit for me, I would play in the back, he would play up front with Thierry Henry, and then what opponents would Arsenal have? Vieira thought.

He admires Zhang Tiehan very much.

However, the defense is also very solid, and he knows better that the two are opponents now, and he must not let the opponent have a chance to get close to the goal.

……

Football is at your feet!

The rest of Arsenal's players are rushing to the back, and Zhang Tiehan knows that what needs to be done now is to get rid of Vieira quickly, and as long as he delays a little, he will not have any chances.

Now's your chance!

He didn't have time to think about what to do, so he just threw the ball hard to the left, which felt like a pass, but there was no one on the left side, Vieira was also surprised, he was just about to start chasing the ball, but he saw that Zhang Tiehan had already thrown off his two positions and sprinted towards the football.

When Zhang Tiehan chased the ball, he had already entered the penalty area, and it was at a 45-degree angle in front of the goal.

Vieira followed from behind.

With just a few more steps, Vieira was able to block all his angles, Zhang Tiehan didn't have time to adjust, he didn't have more time, he had no other options, he could only take the ball forward, and then turn around-

Volley!

"Bang!" A loud bang swept through the wind and rushed straight to the goal!

Goalkeeper Lehmann stood between the goal and Zhang Tiehan's position, he didn't expect Zhang Tiehan to kick like this, at that angle, in that position, without making any adjustments, he turned around and volleyed directly.

He was slow to react.

In an instant, the ball had already rushed past him.

At this moment, Vieira, Campbell, Toure, Wenger, etc., including the Wigan Athletic players, all the fans and reporters at the scene, all those who noticed the goal, were all dumbfounded, they didn't expect Zhang Tiehan to suddenly turn around and volley, and kick a straight ball, and the football flew past Lehmann's ten fingers.

Ball...... Entered!

Seeing the football fly into the goal, Zhang Tiehan raised his hands into the air, the excitement in his heart could no longer be suppressed, his right foot stepped on the grass fiercely, and he roared loudly in the sky-

"Ahhh!!hhh

The dirt on the clothes and pants, the bulging muscles, the hideous face, the movements all over the body, coupled with the fierce breath, can't help but remind people of prehistoric monsters...... And it's a rather brutal beast!
