Chapter 479: Tennis Shot
"You owe me an assist, Jack!" Li Zihan said teasingly to Wilshere.
The small threat was a very good chance to score, but it was a direct shot that allowed De Gea to save on the ball, so it was almost a must-score.
Wilshire pouted, "I'll give it back to you later!" ”
"Wilshere!! Missing out on the advantage of extending the score for Arsenal, if Arsenal can take a 2-0 lead in the last ten minutes, then it would be a huge advantage for Arsenal, even if they are equalised by Manchester United, they still have two away goals."
Fellaini glanced at Li Zihan and felt that he hadn't done enough, because Li Zihan easily broke through himself.
After the game restarted, everyone saw Fellaini taking the initiative to find Li Zihan.
In the thirteenth minute, Fellaini made a sliding tackle, but Li Zihan had already prepared and flicked the ball to the side. The Belgian midfielder failed to tackle the ball and instead brought down Li Zihan.
The referee gave a free kick, but the distance was too short, and Li Zihan, who was in charge, made a quick free kick cooperation.
In the fifteenth minute, when Li Zihan got the ball, Fellaini took the initiative to lean in again. Only this time Li Zihan didn't give Fellaini a chance to start, he passed the ball to Oxlain on the other side in advance.
Fellaini was immensely satisfied, believing that the opposition was afraid of his own defence. Therefore, moving the ball in advance does not make physical contact with oneself, which is a form of escape.
As it turned out, Fellaini was overthinking
Oxlade-Chamberlain quickly dribbled the ball on the side after taking the ball, and then cooperated with Ozil, who came here, and kicked the wall two-by-one to throw off Evra!
Patrice Evra's quality is undeniable, having been one of the best left wing-backs in the world, but he is now 33 years old and has lost his speed as the sharpest weapon on the wing. So when Ozil passed the ball behind him and Chamberlain quickly followed, he had just turned around, but Chamberlain had already received the ball behind him, and strode and pressed it directly!
Manchester United is not Manchester City, there is a scavenger central defender Kompany who is playing for a young age and has a very good ability, so in the face of Oxlade-Chamberlain's wide side, neither Vidic nor Smalling dare to go up to fill the position.
Because there is a more threatening Li Zihan in the middle and Ramsey in the back, and looking at Ozil's posture, he also has to go to the middle to respond.
The plot in Chamberlain's mind was originally to break through on the wing and then attract the players who defended in the middle to help the defense, and then he crossed first. But after seeing that no one on the other side came to force him, he changed the script, and he directly took the ball and cut inside!
Michael Carrick was supposed to watch Aaron Ramsey come in from behind, and the Welshman once beat the Red Devils with a brilliant long-range strike. So Carrick didn't dare to let Ramsey be too casual because the opponent's movement was very positive.
But seeing that the opponent was mainly on the wing, and Vidic and Smalling had no intention of helping, he gestured to Fellaini next to him and Vidic and Smalling behind him, and went to make up for this loophole himself.
Oxlain came to the edge of the ribs of the penalty area, and Ozil, who was in this position, saw Oxlain cut in, and went to the middle of the field. Chamberlain saw Carrick and didn't fight with the opponent, but crossed directly!
Fellaini, Vidic and Chris Smalling laughed collectively, damn it, wait for you for a long time and you finally have a cross!!
The ball flew towards the middle, and Fellaini looked closely at Li Zihan beside him. Although he knows that the header has always been Li Zihan's weakness, although his height is actually not low in terms of forwards, and the bounce is okay, but the header is too bad. Although he was very aware of the other party's weaknesses, Fellaini did not dare to be careless, and pressed Li Zihan behind him with his body.
Vidic, on the other hand, is looking at Mesut Ozil, and for this technical midfielder, it is still a good choice for an experienced veteran like Vidic to look at the defense.
Smalling is eyeing Arsenal's versatile midfielder Aaron Ramsey in what could lead to a sparkling head-to-head conversation between the two youngsters.
However, when the ball flew in, United's backline collectively miscalculated. The ball was not for anyone in the frontfield, whether it was Li Zihan and Ozil who were running, or Ramsey who looked ready to fight for the top when he jumped, he did not catch the ball, and the three of them had a very tacit understanding to pull Manchester United's backline apart.
At this time, a yellow figure suddenly came up from behind, and then jumped off without being guarded, hit the ball, and finally shook his head directly to attack the goal!
De Gea was startled, but fortunately he saw Flamini in time, the Spaniard's physical reflex jumping.
He managed to save the ball and stop Flamini's very dangerous attack.
The home fans at Old Trafford were also in a cold sweat, and their exclamations were a bit of a relief.
Li Zihan didn't watch De Gea's save like the other players around him, he subconsciously stepped forward into the small penalty area.
Fellaini, like his team-mates, watched the performance between De Gea and Flamini in a daze. But he suddenly felt a gust of wind blow around him, and the Belgian midfielder turned his head to see - it was that kid!!
Fellaini immediately followed Li Zihan and ran into the small penalty area, although he didn't know which tendon was wrong in Li Zihan's brain, but he still followed the principle of being behind the middle line and where the opponent went.
De Gea managed to get off the ground and keep out Flamini's header. But his body's reaction was naturally not fully prepared and premeditated Flamini, so De Gea didn't just hold the ball in his arms, but blocked it with the palm of his hand!
De Gea, who was worried that he would not be able to save the ball, did not use the way of hugging, but straightened his body and fingers to expand his defensive area to the maximum.
De Gea!!! --Got off!! The commentator wanted to cheer for David De Gea's brilliant save, but in the end he was surprised to see that Spain did not hold the ball, but took it away.
Li Zihan was waiting for this opportunity, although he could not have foretold such a thing as De Gea would get rid of it. But out of the instinct of a shooter, he still chooses to believe what can happen so one qiē.
Anyway, it's just a few steps and not losing money. Li Zihan's fitness and stamina are barely passable among Premier League players, of course, now, before the season, he failed.
Although his physical endurance is average, he does not hesitate to run but it is not ordinary, and he can seize opportunities that ordinary strikers can't grasp, and that's how he can do it.
Holding the "daydream is still going to be there, what if it comes true?!" Li Zihan ran in the direction of the small forbidden area.
Eventually, the daydream came true - De Gea got out of it!!
Li Zihan stopped on the line of the small penalty area, and he judged that the route and landing point of the ball was here! He stretched out his right foot and tried to grab time in the air. Sweep the ball in!
Li Zihan looked through the ball and saw the Manchester United fans in the stands covering their mouths and widening their eyes, with an expression of disbelief.
And on the side that he couldn't see, Arsenal fans also made exactly the same moves as Manchester United, and their mouths also let out exclamations.
It's just that the Gunners fans exclaimed not Li Zihan's goal that was about to shoot, but what was about to happen next.
Following him all the way, Fellaini, who has been following Li Zihan, also saw his opportunity. He saw Li Zihan stretching out his foot in front of him to catch the ball that De Gea had flown off, so he immediately reached out to push Li Zihan's back.
At this time, Fellaini has no time to think about the penalty area, if the referee sees such an obvious foul, then the penalty and yellow card will definitely not be able to run.
He had only one thought in his heart - absolutely! Absolute!! Can't let this kid kick this ball in!!
Li Zihan, who was receiving the ball, suddenly felt a strong force behind him, and then he flew out, his body was difficult to balance, and he felt that he was going to fall headlong.
In the TV picture, Li Zihan was pushed out directly by Fellaini. The fans in front of the TV let out exclamations, knowing that the opponent would win a card and a penalty. But at this time, Arsenal fans and Li Zihan's fans could not think of a penalty, they would rather not have this penalty than let Fellaini make such a dangerous move.
Because Li Zihan is very likely to be pushed by the other party like this, and then fall to the ground and be injured, because they see that Li Zihan is already difficult to keep his balance, it must be miserable to fall like this, and there is no guarantee that Fellaini will no longer make some small movements in concealment.
Li Zihan, who was in the air, knew that he couldn't keep his balance anymore, so he didn't plan to barely keep his balance. His only thought now is the ball.
He stretched his right leg and headed for the ball in the air, and since he couldn't wait for the ball to fall, he had to pick it up.
It's close, it's close, it's very close
Li Zihan's right foot was still in contact with the ball, because his foot couldn't exert force in the air, so he simply kept this action and then fell down with his body.
From a distance, Li Zihan's outstretched right foot is like a tennis racket, and in the face of the opponent's tennis ball, he uses a smash from the top to hit the ball again.
And that tennis ball is naturally the football that De Gea got out of his hands!!
The ball flew out and detached from his foot. His body continued to fall, and then with a "bang", his body came into close contact with the lawn at Old Trafford.
He hit his head on the grass as well, and then he looked up very quickly again in the direction of the goal.
His eyes were so determined and focused that he didn't even pay attention to the grass stains and dirt on his lips!
