Chapter 171 Born for Victory
Chapter 171 Born for victory
Xiao Ming had a confident smile on his face. This smile could bring more courage to the people around him. In fact, this is the biggest function. Although he thought his tactics were unlikely to give Arsenal a chance, who knew what trouble would Wenger make? Even Wenger had no choice. If he was suppressed and beaten like this by his opponent, he might lose a good situation if he was not lucky.
Although all players are confident when leading, they can easily cause psychological imbalances in the team after losing one goal - just like in the 2000 European Championship final, Italy looked unbreakable before conceding the ball before the end of the game, but after Vertod scored the equalizer, they quickly lost the second ball in overtime - in this case, the concealment can basically cause a fatal blow to the mentality.
What is needed at this time is offense. Even if you can't score a goal, just counterattack once or twice, even if you just spend a little time, it is good. At least it can relieve the pressure on the defense line and at the same time, it can also relieve Xiao Ming's psychological pressure.
Originally, Xiao Ming felt that he would not be nervous. After all, whether to win the final or not is not a big problem for Leiden Oriental. Although the difference between the champion and the runner-up is obvious, in terms of practical gains, they can still participate in the last European Cup of Winners. The only loss is nothing more than being unable to participate in the Charity Shield Cup next season. If Arsenal wins a double championship, their opponent in the Charity Shield Cup will be Manchester United in the Premier League.
But when Leiden East leads, Xiao Ming's heart begins to shrink involuntarily - this is the charm of football. Even if you start to watch the game with a pure appreciation mentality, as long as you devote your feelings to one of the teams, you will immediately feel the feeling of heartbeat, and follow the team's performance, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Any slight changes can affect your emotions. In fact, this is a very wonderful feeling. After investing in the relationship, you will definitely get rewards. After all, in the modern society where material desires are rampant, it is difficult to have anything that can touch people's hearts so much.
Seeing the players who had been completely involved in the game and had no negative emotions, Xiao Ming kept reminding himself to be calm and confident. Even if this calmness and confidence were just pretending, he had to do this.
On the court, the Arsenal players who were falling back and forth were finally impulsive. After seeing Vieira and Wright rushing into the penalty area, Palor immediately made a cross of 45 degrees and passed the ball into the penalty area.
Although Vieira, who could only barely gain the advantage in height, was unable to support the ball. Jasquelenin, who had accurately attacked, jumped up and took the ball off, ran forward a few steps and immediately passed it with a long pass.
The ball flew into the middle circle, and Jankoler stepped up and ran forward a few steps. Although he failed to successfully fight for the ball, it interfered with Keon's jump. Keon's header flew to Murphy's feet. Murphy immediately distributed the ball to Jinklaze in front. Jinklaze took the ball forward and broke through!
Xiao Ming clenched his fists tightly: "Jozeer, rush for me!"
When other players may not have time to keep up, two players with excellent speed and skills are the only guarantees for Leiden Oriental offensive line!
And Xiao Ming also firmly believes that Jin Kraze, a genius with a very bad fate, will definitely not be much worse than Giggs' personal ability to dribble and break through balls. In Manchester United's great triple-winning season, it was Giggs who passed several breakthroughs in a row that helped Manchester United overcome the last hurdle before entering the FA Cup final. The victim of that breakthrough was the Arsenal defense line led by the five elders of the defense!
Jin Kraze did not disappoint Xiao Ming. The ball-control genius took his signature small step. The speed of progress seemed unfast, but in just a moment, he had already broken through the midfield and was moving towards Arsenal's hinterland.
"Stay on him!" Adams retreated while directing Keon and Dixon to attack, but most of his attention was on Keon who was running. Keon had no room for performance in this game, but Adams did not relax his vigilance against him.
He believed that the two old partners around him were good. Jin Klaze's skills were good. He had seen them two years ago, but he did not think that neither Keon nor Dixon could defend this little man. These two people could block all Jin Klaze's breakthrough route just by relying on their own size!
However, on the football field, whether tall or not is often proportional to strength, how many short players can draw gorgeous chapters on the football field with their magical feet!
Jinklaze bent over and lowered his head. On the surface, his attention was only on the ball under his feet, but in fact he was observing the situation around him all the time!
Keon and Dixon rushed up almost at the same time, so as to block the route of Jinklaze's breakthrough as much as possible, but it was precisely because the two of them rushed over at the same time that as long as they dodge one of them, they could dodge two at the same time!
When they were about to approach these two tall defenders, Jinklaze suddenly hit the ball to the left, and his right foot just blocked the ball's flight route. After hitting Jinklaze's left foot, the ball flew forward without warning, just flew between Keon's legs!
At the same time, Jinklaze was short and his feet were pressing through the two people like an arrow!
Just a moment, two veterans over fifty years old combined were easily escaped by Jin Klaze!
Adams almost watched Jin Claze rushing from between Dixon and Keon. Just as he was about to step forward to defend Jin Claze, Jin Claze, who had chased the ball with two big strides, had completed a pass!
This was a diagonal pass. The ball flew over Adams from the left and flew to the other side of the court. At the same time, Keane, who had been careful to keep parallel to Adams, suddenly accelerated and rushed over Adams!
Feeling a gust of wind passing by, Adams didn't even have time to raise his hand to signal Keane to offside, so he immediately turned around and ran back!
Adams knew that because he was distracted by Jin Klaze just now, his activation was already slower than Kean. If he was wasting time raising his hand, he would probably not have the chance to catch up with Kean!
Even if the linebacker signaled Keane to offside, he was just a free trip - be careful, ten times are considered few, careless, and even more careless once!
But even if Adams had done this, he still couldn't catch up with Keane. Keane's speed was faster than Adams!
However, Adams was not that anxious because he saw another figure wearing a red Arsenal jersey and had already chased Keane - that was Winterbourne, the last player on the Arsenal defense!
Winterbourne stayed in a relatively backward place at the beginning, and his attention was not distracted from Jinklaze, so although he was not faster than Adams, he was closer to Keane!
When Keane was about to approach the penalty area line, Winterben had already appeared in front of Keane!
Keane was not scared by the defender who suddenly appeared in front of him. His speed did not stop at all. His right shoulder sank, but his feet quickly pushed the ball to the left!
Winterben, who had fought his life to run back, reacted a little slower. After dodging the shooting angle, facing Heeman who had already rushed out, Keane calmly stretched his foot under the ball, and then suddenly exerted force!
Xiao Ming, who was clenching his fists tightly, jumped up from the coach's seat!
The ball drew an arc in the air, crossed the desperate Ximan's head, and then fell into the goal obliquely!
Two to zero! The assassin's fatal blow in the darkness comes here!
Xiao Ming's clenched fists had already been released. He raised his hands high, showed his two middle fingers, and pointed to the FA Cup championship trophy placed at the player's passage!
His meaning is obvious - the champion, it's mine!
This arrogant action immediately made the fans of Leiden Oriental who were almost crazy and even more exciting. They began to use their signature celebration to vent their passion and ecstasy in their hearts - the uniform stomping sound made the entire stadium tremble slightly - the fans of Leiden Oriental had never used this way of celebration after the stadium collapse a season ago, but today's game swept away the haze of a year ago!
Seeing the fans like this, Xiao Ming smiled happily. He knew that from today on, the shadows that had been entangled in the hearts of all Leiden Orientals for a whole year have been completely dispersed and will never exist again!
After the game re-telephone, Wenger made the first substitution of the game. The young French young player Nicholas Anelka replaced the right forward Palor. Although it was only the first substitution, Xiao Ming knew clearly that Wenger had already started to fight desperately.
He also immediately made a targeted substitution - Karaze replaced his compatriot Jinklaze. His only task on the field was to make up for Daniel in the central defender position. Daniel's task became an defense against Anelka who had just appeared on the field - Xiao Ming planned to carry out the vulgarity to the end.
Among the five substitutes he brought this game, except for Phillips and Lombardo, the remaining two were defenders - Carlazer and Perth. If Wenger was on the offensive player again, he would change to another defender! He was not afraid of others saying that he was conservative - we are a small team, conservative is what it should be.
Besides, I have already led by two goals, and there is still half an hour left in the second half, so it is worth it to be a little bit rude. As long as the opponent's goal comes later, the more confident Leiden East will be.
After Anelka came on the court, he caused a lot of trouble for Leiden Oriental through his personal skills. This is indeed a genius, and a genius who is about to reach his peak. Although his peak period is only the next two seasons, in terms of talent, many superstars in later generations are not as good as him, just as he said: "I did everything Henry did at Arsenal when I was nineteen."
Daniel, who had been running for most of the game, could not defend Anelka's breakthrough, but soon Karaze ran over to help him defend the left side. The two teamed up to guard the left side like an iron barrel. No matter how good Anelka's skill is, he can only form a few crosses on the wing. It happened that the centre-back of Leiden East is the cross.
Wenger's high hopes for the game did not play the expected role—Leedon East's second ball came just right. If you entered early, Anelka might have played in advance. If you entered late, Wenger would also replace Anelka at this time, and Leiden East's pressure will increase exponentially.
What's more, other teams may ignore Anelka. Could Xiao Ming ignore it? What a joke!
As time passes by minute by minute, despair begins to spread in the hearts of Arsenal fans - is this team that brought nightmares to themselves two seasons ago going to break our dream of double championship again today?
Wenger looked at the players who were still running on the court with a speechless voice. He knew that he was about to lose in this game. After joining Arsenal, his primary goal was to help Arsenal win the league championship, and secondly, to become a well-deserved first in London. He had done the former and he was doing the latter. Originally, his eyes were just on his arch-rival Tottenham Hotspur, who was in the West End. Chelsea, who had been prosperous in recent years, and even Wimbledon, who had begun to fall out and West Ham United in the East End. But no one would have thought that another team, Leighton East, who had emerged from the bottom, could stand in front of him, and it seemed so threatening.
It's not just a threat - they have really taken away the FA Cup from themselves and shattered their dream of double champions!
Wenger turned his head and looked at the young man who was jumping around the sidelines not far from him, like a monkey.
When Leiden East didn't lead and only one goal, the young man was quiet, but after two goals he started to chatter - are you nervous? Or do you no longer need to be compulsive?
I think Arsenal's offense has been well tuned this season. The number of goals in the Premier League is on par with Liverpool, second only to Manchester United is a good evidence, but there is no chance in front of your iron barrel. Instead, you have two counterattacks pierced through the goal - even if the first ball is luck, the second ball will leave me speechless. Losing in front of such an opponent who is familiar with you does not seem to be embarrassing...
However, it will not be that simple when we meet again next time.
Chapter completed!
