Back in the locker room, the players changed into long-sleeved jerseys one after another.

After all, it's not spring yet, and the winter rain is still somewhat cool.

Immediately after seeing his teammates change into iron-spiked sneakers one by one, Sun Xiang couldn't help frowning.

It's hard for me now.....

I hope the rain doesn't rain any more... Sun Xiang said expectantly.

"Everyone changed their shoes as much as possible, and just now I went out to take a look, and the rain is getting heavier, so be careful not to get hurt. What the hell is the weather! The assistant coach pushed the door open.

"Alas, it's another rain war"

"I don't like rain," Bellerin sighed.

The last time Arsenal faced the rain was in Wales on the edge of England, when they lost 2-1 to Swansea City while Sun Xiang was on holiday on the other side of the world.

"I think you're because of your hairstyle." Mustafi teased.

Bellerin is a well-known hipster in the team, with a style of dress and hairstyle that is in a league of his own, and no one seems to want to be with him.

He once had the will to win over Sun Xiang, but Sun Xiang didn't accept this.

Bellerin listened to Mustafi's words, his body shook slightly, and then he turned his head and rushed towards Sun Xiang, deliberately ignoring Mustafi.

"Hey Sun, how did you feel in the first half?" Bellerin asked with a smile.

"Not bad, what about you?"

"They didn't threaten me much, probably because they were in the back." Bellerin explained.

Immediately, he noticed that Sun Xiang was still wearing FG's sneakers.

Sun Xiang focused on his gaze, then pestle him with his elbow, and said in a low voice: "Don't look, I didn't change it." ”

"Huh? Why not change? The teaching assistant just said that it was raining a lot, and it was easy to slip. Bellerin was surprised and reminded in a low voice.

"I know!" Sun Xiang looked at the others to see if they had noticed him, "I didn't take you with me, how can I change it?" ”

"Oh God!" Bellerin exclaimed, "Why don't you bring it?" ”

"Who knew it was going to rain on this damn day."

"But......" Before Bellerin could finish speaking, the locker room door was pushed open and Arsene Wenger and the assistant coach walked in.

Routine half-time tactical talk, which is more or less played every game.

This time, because the performance in the first half was good, the meeting ended in just a few minutes, and the rest was left for the players to relax and prepare.

Soon, the countdown to the fifteen-minute half-time break was about to begin, and the players were bustling out of the locker room. At this time, Bellerin came over and touched Sun Xiang again.

"Sun, what are you going to do?"

"What to do? That's it, just pay attention. Sun Xiang spread his hands.

"But you can't focus all your energy on the soles of your shoes, it'll distract you." Bellerin reminded him.

"I know that, too. Alas, it seems that next time there will be a gift no matter what. With that, the two of them also walked into the venue.

The rain was obviously a lot heavier than the first half, but it didn't postpone the game. What's more, half of the game has already been played, and it is impossible to postpone it.

"Sun, run more in the second half and give passes to your teammates, it's your job!" Before the game, Wenger called Sun Xiang to his side and said a few words.

Sun Xiang nodded his head in agreement, but he was bitter in his heart.

※※※

"The second half started and hopefully the players won't be affected by the weather."

Oliver's first-half enforcement won the hearts of Arsenal fans, so they didn't try to trouble the referee in the second half.

“sun！ Your right! Wilshere shouted.

Sun Xiang also found that Bellerin had been inserted on the right side, so Sun Xiang moved the ball to the other side with a flat volley.

"The ball is a little big..."

"No, Bellerin is fast, it's on purpose."

Bellerin runs like the wind under his feet, and on the slippery field he is like a lightning bolt in the rain.

Sun Xiang's transfer of the ball was just right, not big or small, and it did not affect Bellerin's running.

He used his pace to get rid of Everton's defence and left the entire backline behind.

"He's like a sports car." Martin Taylor lamented.

Sun Xiang was not idle after the pass, and he also ran to the front of the penalty area at the fastest speed, seeking an opportunity to invert the triangle.

With Alexandre Lacazette in the middle of the front and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the back, it might be a good option to knock on the door.

But Bellerin didn't think so. Everton have a large number of players in the box and there is no guarantee that there will be no interference in the movement of the ball. So the safest thing is to knock back on the forbidden area.

Sun Xiang and Xhaka roamed in front of the penalty area, which were two good points.

Bellerin sent back in real time, and he found the only gap and passed it over.

Xhaka missed freely in front of him, and Sun Xiang behind him also ran over tacitly.

Davis, who had been guarding him the whole time, also followed, a task given to him by Allardyce.

Sun Xiang faced the ball with a fake shot and a disguise, took the ball from the right side and changed it to the left side, and a series of actions were completed very well.

It's just that the slippery field makes him stumble, but no one cares.

Davis' defense was on point, and he didn't shake up.

Seeing that the opponent did not release his position, Sun Xiang could only choose to distribute the ball to the left side and give it to Wilshere on the side. Then he ran towards Wilshere.

"Little Threat" didn't stick to the ball too much, took two steps and passed the ball back after taking the ball.

Sun Xiang was about to stop the ball, but just as the ball was about to make contact with the arch of his foot, he suddenly raised his foot, and then turned and kicked the ground to catch up with the ball.

He finally got a good chance now, and Davis was deceived by his hypocrisy.

It's just that Sun Xiang, who got the opportunity, did not shoot, but stuffed directly into the penalty area.

The ball was passed from the weak side of Keane's defence, and Keane couldn't touch it.

Lacazette successfully countered offside, and after getting the ball, he adjusted his foot and shot angrily, but unfortunately the angle was too straight and was saved by Pickford.

Allardyce was on the sidelines as if he was dying, he was shocked when he saw Sun Xiang get rid of Davis's defense just now, and after seeing Sun Xiang's pass, he even thought that the game was over, but fortunately his goalkeeper performed very bravely, so that he could feel a little more at ease.

"What's going on with that Chinese? Why can't you stop him? After taking a few breaths, Allardyce made the question straightforward and asked his assistant.

His assistant was Dutchman Ervin Koman, who helped the Orange win the 1988 European Championship with the Three Musketeers and his younger brother as a player. He later retired as a coach and worked for Dutch clubs such as Waalwijk and Feyenoord before coming to Southampton in England in 2014 and joining Everton in 16 years.

Koeman looked at the pitch and said to Allardyce: "Do you know the trough before Sun? ”

Allardyce looked at him quizzically, then nodded.

He didn't understand what it had to do with defense.

Coman continued: "Do you know why Sun was at a low point at that time? ”

"It's not very clear at all." Allardyce said.

"Because every team sends people to defend this Chinese, his role in the midfield is too big." Koeman said.

"I know that, so that's why I asked Davis to defend him."

"No, that's one of the reasons why something went wrong."

"Why?" Sam Allardyce asked rhetorically, saying he didn't understand that his own manual defense could be the cause of defensive mistakes.

Koeman was quick to give the answer.

"Because those teams use more than two players to defend him and you only use one. I don't think one person can stop him. ”
