Office of the President of the Football Association.

"Zhang Biao, come to my office. Immediately, immediately. ”

Two minutes later......

"Mr. President, what's the matter?"

"There's bad news and a ......"

"Let's start with the bad news."

"The central government seems to have discovered that there is something wrong with Sun Xiang's matter this time."

"Huh? So fast? Why? How do they know? Zhang Biao was surprised.

"I don't know, but I can hear it from the tone of the councillor, and he is confident in his guess."

"Could it be a coincidence?"

"I don't think they could have guessed so much, except that they might have other sources." Chairman Zhang lowered his head, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't have predicted the speed of what happened.

Zhang Biao also pouted, and grabbed his hair with his hand: "Okay, at least they didn't investigate further." So Mr. President, what's the good news? ”

"Good news?" Chairman Zhang was stunned, "When did I say there was good news?" ”

Zhang Biao was also stupid: "Didn't you just say that you were going to tell me a bad news and a good news?" ”

"I'll just say you're in a hurry, I haven't finished my sentence yet. I mean, there's bad news and even worse news. ”

"What!?" Zhang Biao's body shook, if that wasn't the worst news, then what was it?

Chairman Zhang didn't understand Zhang Biao's thoughts at all, and he sighed: "The worse news is that the central government seems to be about to start an investigation, if we don't call Sun Xiang back." ”

But then he added: "Of course, the parliamentarians didn't say that, and that's just my guess, but I think that's what they meant." ”

"What do you mean, Chairman,......" Zhang Biao's eyes widened, as if he sensed something was about to happen.

Sure enough, the chairman said: "When we have no choice but to call Sun Xiang, this is to save our lives." ”

“…………”

In the office of the Football Association, two men stared wide-eyed, and the worst seemed to be about to appear.

People don't know that from this point on, the FA national team is slowly changing.

On April 4, 2019, on a bright afternoon in London, the 31st round of the English Premier League ushered in a key battle. Arsenal against the "Reds" Liverpool.

The meeting between the two sides in December last year also caused a lot of repercussions at the time. In that game, Arsenal beat Liverpool 3-2, and Sun Xiang scored his first hat-trick in the Premier League, shocking the world.

This time, Liverpool are back in the back of the picture, hungry for revenge and finishing off Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Klopp changed his previous style before the game, and he praised Sun Xiang and sincerely expressed his love for Sun Xiang. He also said it was a tough game, Arsenal were the most attacking in the Premier League and they scored easily.

But everyone could see that this was Klopp's kind words, and he just didn't want to stiffen the relationship.

It's true that Liverpool have not had a good result this year, but that doesn't mean that their overall quality is not good. With attacking players such as Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane of the African Footballer of the Year, their results would not have been more than that if it weren't for the bad luck and the close schedule.

Last year, Liverpool showed a strong posture of grabbing points, and also slashed the Premier League BIG4 to the horse.

Under Klopp's tutelage, the "Red Army" is now attacking sharply, and although the defense is not meticulous, it is also said to be in the past. All they need is to win.

So at the beginning of the game, they made a strong high press for Arsenal, trying to use the "grab start" to win. However, in the fourth minute of the game, they made a mistake at the back.

Lovren crossed to Van Dijk at the back, but the two seemed to have a misalignment, Van Dijk did not expect the ball to pass to him, and the momentary distraction allowed Aubameyang to seize the opportunity, he cleverly snatched the ball, and then flicked his right foot to avoid the onrushing Karius, but the final shot allowed Van Dijk to stretch his leg to block.

"Van Dijk's movement speed doesn't look like a big man of 193 at all, he's fast and has a great outburst!"

'There's something wrong with Lovren's passing, he's probably thinking about something else and hasn't spoken to Van Dijk and hopefully they won't make another mistake like that.

Liverpool, who escaped the game, regrouped and once again pressed Arsenal's penalty area.

Karius took the ball from outside the box to Virgil van Dijk and the Dutch centre-back took a few steps forward to find an open pass to Henderson in the middle, who turned deftly while watching his team-mate's direction.

Arsenal's defensive focus was on the left, but Salah was suddenly in the space on the left.

"This is an opportunity!" Martin Taylor exclaimed.

Salah came out from open space and Henderson made a timely stop.

No offside! Liverpool fans stand up!

Sadio Mane on the left side of the middle was already running forward at the same time, and it was a two-on-one opportunity to face the goalkeeper directly.

Salah unselfishly distributed the ball to Sadio Mane in the middle. Everyone knew he would do it, but there was nothing they could do.

The position of this pass was so uncomfortable that Cech couldn't get out and the defenders didn't dare to stretch their feet.

"Mane !!"

Liverpool fans were already chanting Mane's name, but in the next second they were holding their heads and unable to hide their disappointment.

Mohamed Salah's pass was on point, but Sadio Mane couldn't keep up with his pace, and the last two moves left him missing the goal.

"Just a little bit!" Martin Taylor said regretfully, "If he was a big player who is 1.9 meters tall, I think this goal can be scored, but in fact he is only 1.75 meters. ”

Mane, who had a great opportunity, sat on the ground, running back and forth from side to side at all costs, trying to pull out the vacancy to create an opportunity, but he wasted his brains, which is really unforgivable.

'Great running, you're going to score!' Captain Jordan Henderson stepped forward to pick up Mane and gave him a few words of comfort.

Twenty minutes have passed, the score has not been broken for a long time, and the attacks of both sides have only blossomed and not borne fruit, and the coaches on both sides are very anxious.

Jurgen Klopp stood on the sidelines as he always did, commanding his players loudly. As a young radical coach, his style can be described as unique.

On the Arsenal side, Arsene Wenger's shirt was a little wet due to the stalemate, and he was discussing the next steps with his coaching staff.

“sun！ Someone behind you! ”

“ok！”

Sun Xiang was forced by a Liverpool player immediately after winning the ball in the middle, and this is not the first time for him, he has gradually begun to get used to it.

Emrejan, who is a piece of iron in the middle of the team, has already faced Sun Xiang in the first round, and he knows how terrible the Chinese player is.

"I need help! Jordan, defend the catcher on the other side! ”

He called on Henderson to defend with him, which was more likely to succeed.

Sun Xiang played on the right side of the midfield in this game, which was also the first time he played this position, because before the game Ozil suddenly had a fever, in the fifth consideration, Wenger temporarily excluded the German from the lineup, and at the same time changed the team's selection.

"Grab him! With the body! With the body! Jurgen Klopp shouted from the sidelines, he wanted to go up and defend himself.

"Doot toot!" The referee's whistle blew and Henderson tripped Sun Xiang behind him.

"Referee, I didn't touch him!"

Henderson stepped forward to question the referee, but to no avail.

"Defend! Leave that useless stuff alone! ”

In Mesut Ozil's absence, the team's free-kick initiator was temporarily arranged as Sun Xiang, which was also Sun Xiang's first free-kick officiation.

The free-kick went straight and the ball was turned to the back post and around goalkeeper Karius.

"Damn it!" Jurgen Klopp yelled on the sidelines as he realised something was wrong.

It was Xhaka who was outflanked at the back post, who had been ambushed in front of the box, but he soon found himself in a hole at the back post on the left, so he changed his position.

As it turned out, he was right!

"Xhaka's header! Oh...... goooooal！ Beautiful header, Arsenal take the lead! ”

"In the 33rd minute, Arsenal took the lead! Sun's free-kick was passed to Xhaka and the Swiss midfielder showed us what he could do, which was beautiful! ”
