Chapter 29: Leading
The game between Liverpool and Arsenal is underway, both sides are afraid of each other's sudden attack, so that both sides dare not invest too much troops to attack, and both want to defend first, which makes the front and back of the two teams relatively calm, but the competition in the midfield is particularly fierce.
The battle for midfield is directly the battle between Wales and Flamini, the core of the midfield of the two teams, because whether it is offensive or defensive, the players of both teams will send the football to the feet of the two, and the two decide to attack.
Although Wales' defensive ability cannot be compared with Flamini's midfielder, Wales is also a central midfielder, and his defensive ability is still very good, coupled with Wales' own speed and reaction, as well as his foot skills, this is not comparable to Flamini.
Otherwise, Flamini's body is stronger than Wales, and most of the time he relies on his body to protect the football, otherwise Arsenal's midfield would have collapsed long ago.
Although Flamini couldn't do anything with Wales, Wales also looked helpless in the face of Flamini's defense, and Flamini relied on his strong body and decisive tackles to make Wales very embarrassed.
Wales carefully protected the football at his feet, looking at Flamini in front of him with his eyes, trying to find out the flaws in the opponent's defense, but unfortunately Flamini's psychological quality is very good, not panicked at all, no matter what Wales does, just don't kick.
In the face of this situation, Wales has no choice, after such a long time of fighting, Wales knows very well that the guy in front of him does not have a foot, once he does not have a foot, I am afraid that the football under his feet will be broken.
"Damn, fight!" Seeing Flamini's calm and composed, Wales thought about it and decided to go it alone.
After all, football is currently at the feet of Wales, so it belongs to Liverpool's attack, if you don't hurry up a little time, let Arsenal's defenders stand in a good position, I'm afraid that even if you pass Flamini, there will be no chance to take advantage of it.
Thinking of this, Wales began to pedal a bicycle, and then the speed was very fast, sometimes very slow, in short, it was not a frequency, which made Flamini frown for a while, and it was obvious that Wales's cycling action made it difficult for Flamini to judge.
Although he didn't know whether Wales would choose to break through on the left or right, Flamini was not stupid and knew that he couldn't continue to let Wales go on like this, so he hurriedly took a few steps forward and approached Wales.
Because in doing so, even if Wales breaks through themselves, they can rely on the advantage of being close to Wales and take the opportunity to put Wales to make a tactical foul.
Seeing Flamini approaching, Wales continued to pedal a few bikes quickly, and with a dexterous touch of the football with his right foot, the football rolled past Flamini's right, and at the same time, Wales suddenly made a force and rushed towards Flamini's right, trying to catch up with the football.
It wasn't that easy, and although Flamini was French, Flamini had always admired the Argentine's defense, which was that the ball could only pass one.
Seeing that Wales wanted to break through from his left, it was impossible to stop the football at this time, so there was only one way to stop Wales, thinking of this, Flamini did not hesitate to reach out and grab the Wales who wanted to rush over, and at the same time his body was inserted between Wales and the football, just blocking Wales' way, due to inertia, Wales, who was not as strong as Flamini's body, suddenly fell to the ground.
As Wales fell to the ground, the referee's whistle blew and a yellow card was given to Flamini, who had just gotten up from Wales.
Flamini looked at the yellow card in the referee's hand, didn't say anything, just turned around and quickly ran towards his own entry to participate in the defense. A yellow card is really not a threat to a defender.
Liverpool won a set-piece about 25 meters in front, Wales was the team's number one penalty taker, standing in front of the ball, quietly waiting for the Arsenal players to slowly line up the wall, while looking at their teammates who were squeezing in the box from time to time, wanting to see who had a better chance.
Wales' eyes naturally fell on George in the penalty area, but found that George had two close protection around him, and it was obvious that even if the ball was passed to George's side at the moment, it would be difficult for George to shoot under the defense of the two.
George also knows the current situation and seeing that Arsenal take themselves so seriously, George didn't say anything, which is normal.
Knowing that he had no chance, George quietly walked to the edge of the penalty area, and at the same time the two Arsenal defenders who were close to George, also unknowingly followed George to the edge of the penalty area, not noticing that George did this on purpose, in order to lure away Arsenal's defensive strength in the penalty area.
The penalty area, which was originally very dense, suddenly seemed a little empty as the three of George left, and with the referee's whistle, Wales slammed the football hard, and the football turned into an arc that was not very large, but the arc was relatively fast, falling towards the penalty area.
As Wales kicked the football into the penalty area, all the players of both teams in the penalty area nervously raised their heads to look at the football in the air, and at the same time kept pushing the people leaning on their side out with both hands.
When the ball fell, two Arsenal players and a Liverpool player jumped up at the same time, and the Liverpool player and an Arsenal player both touched the ball on their heads, and the ball suddenly fell to the outside of the penalty area due to the rebound force.
Because Flamini is a midfielder, his body is not dominant for the backfield players, so he has been wandering on the edge of the penalty area, and at this moment watching the football fly towards the edge of the penalty area, Flamini shouted in his heart and rushed towards the football quickly.
Five meters, three meters, one meter. Looking at the football close at hand, Flamini's face couldn't help but smile, because Flamini had observed at the moment that the Liverpool players were competing for the set-piece in the penalty area, and the backfield became very empty.
Flamini believes that as long as he grabs the football and passes the ball to either Abeille or Aledil, the two can rely on their own skills and the tacit understanding between the two to teach Liverpool another hard lesson.
Flamini looked at Liverpool's midfield and was ready to kick the ball at the pair after confirming the positions of Abeille and Aledir.
Flamini raised his right foot and was about to kick the ball when suddenly a foot appeared in his sight, and at the same time the foot was still pumping the ball, and the ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball.
When the football had disappeared in front of his eyes, Flamini's foot was kicked in the position of the football just now, but now there was no football there, there was only a human foot, and the huge force made Flamini unable to stand his feet, and suddenly hit the kicker's foot, and both fell to the ground together.
Arsenal's goalkeepers didn't expect it at all, someone would grab the ball at Flamini's feet and shoot without making the slightest adjustment, and because there were so many people in the box, they didn't notice that the ball was already flying towards the goal.
When Arsenal's goalkeeper saw the football, the football was only one or two meters away from the goal, and at a distance of one or two meters, what could the goalkeeper do, even Schmeichel, who was currently the best, could not do anything at such a close distance, with such a fast ball speed, not to mention that the Arsenal goalkeeper was just a child, who could only watch the football drill into the net.
“Gooooooooooal!!! George's shot, the ball flew into the net like a cannonball, and in the face of this goal, the Arsenal goalkeeper could do nothing but watch in amazement as the ball flew into the net behind him. George's shot was so beautiful, it was a beautiful goal. ”
The commentator shouted frantically, it was really because George's goal was so exciting, this kind of powerful shot is rare for the junior team, it can be said that there is no, after all, they are all children, and the power is not so great, it is impossible to shoot vigorously at all. But this time George's shot was not only wonderful, but also not much worse than the powerful shots of those professional players in the Premier League.
Hearing the commentator's words, Flamini stared blankly at the person who got up from his body and had begun to celebrate, it was Liverpool's number one killer George.
