I'm 1.9 meters tall and weigh 200 pounds, can I pull the hem?

"pretty!"

"That was amazing!"

"Another impressive long-distance run!"

"But this time it turned into a goal!"

"Nineteen-year-old Liu Yang single-handedly orchestrated this counterattack!"

"They breached the gates of their former employer!"

"A dream performance that combines physical prowess and exquisite skill!"

"Helping Aston Villa pull one back in the 82nd minute!"

Will another miracle happen?

China's live broadcast room.

The fans were stunned.

-【Is this a monster?】

- [Bulldozers, just keep rolling!]

- [Zhang Lu is absolutely right, Arsenal's midfield is just too weak!]

[It's fortunate that Mertesacker hasn't returned yet; the others simply can't outrun Liu Yang!]

The entire process of Liu Yang scoring the goal was replayed on the screen again and again.

Look how he faked out Koscielny!

- [Ball control, footwork...isn't this the move Bergkamp used to seal the victory against Argentina?]

- Was that step-over a fluke? It just barely managed to get Koscielny out of the way?

- [Don't be so sure, they must have thought about how to proceed with their next move.]

- [That's not necessarily true. Kaka once said that he doesn't need to think too much on the field; his body tells him how to play.]

-【That was Kaka being modest. Later, in an interview, Ancelotti said that Kaka's thinking speed on the field was twice that of other players; he planned how to score from the moment he received the ball!】

……

Villa Park Stadium.

After a moment of silence, tens of thousands of Villa fans erupted in deafening cheers!

This was immediately followed by an inspiring shout!

They're just one goal away, they still have a chance!

Command area.

Wenger's eyes revealed an irrepressible admiration.

Then, as if suddenly waking up, he realized that his beloved student was now serving the enemy.

And their own team was the one who conceded a goal.

Soon after, Arsenal requested the fourth official to make a substitution.

……

The other end

Gard clenched his fist and pounded the air a few times.

"Boss, Arsenal has made a substitution, and we still have one last substitution spot left."

Replacement...

The weakness of this group of Arsenal players lies in their physical attributes.

Let's take a gamble then.

Garde called out Traore from the bench.

This former La Masia youngster has always played for the youth team and has never played for the senior team.

"Adama, we'll put you on the field later. You'll play on the right wing."

"Remember not to be nervous on your first appearance. Look at Liu Yang, he did a great job. Arsenal can't withstand your onslaught..."

Adama Traoré surprised everyone with his performance in his senior team debut.

As he listened to Gard's lengthy tactical instructions, he nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, looking flattered and surprised.

……

"Alright, now both Arsenal and Aston Villa need to make substitutions!"

"For Arsenal, Flamini replaced Chamberlain, and Gibbs replaced Campbell."

"Two defensive players have replaced two offensive players."

"Wenger has made a rare conservative substitution!"

"Let's look at Aston Villa's side now!"

"Traore has replaced midfielder Westwood!"

"Being behind, they need to give it their all in the limited time they have left and strive to score!"

"This is also Traore's first appearance for Villa's senior team! It seems that Coach Garde has done a good job in developing and trusting the young players since taking over a month ago!"

"Will this young former La Masia player be able to make a name for himself like Liu Yang?"

……

For Villa, Traore played on the right wing, while Jordan Ayew moved to the left wing.

The formation is switched between 4132 and 4141.

Arsenal's formation changed to 5-4-1.

Only Walcott remained in the attacking third to maintain the counter-attacking threat.

Monreal moved inside to become the third center-back, while Gibbs played as a left-back.

Flamini became the fourth midfielder.

They attempted to overwhelm Liu Yang's physical advantage in midfield with sheer numbers.

……

Traore was very nervous making his first appearance.

Gard talked about a lot of tactics off the field, but he couldn't remember them once he stepped onto the grass.

Their debut is against Arsenal... How are they supposed to play?

Liu Yang, who was in the middle, was surrounded by several people.

Don't give him room to accelerate.

Left with no other option, Liu Yang passed the ball to the right wing.

"Adama, catch!"

"Don't be nervous, just play the way we did in the youth team!"

Traore, who received the ball, also heard Liu Yang's words.

His eyes no longer hesitated.

How did you play in the youth team?

sudden!

Traore's shooting is poor, his crossing is poor, and his awareness and football intelligence are also lacking.

His physical fitness is off the charts.

He is 1.78 meters tall and weighs 86 kilograms!

Moreover, there is not a single ounce of fat; it's all firm, muscular muscle.

What's even more terrifying is that his speed is also astonishing.

While his dribbling skills aren't top-notch, they're sufficient for his physical attributes.

In some football games, players with such exceptional speed and physical strength are considered to be at the level of football kings.

Looking at Monreal before him, Traore made a tough decision.

"I don't care what you say!"

……

Monreal is suffering.

My physical fitness is indeed not outstanding.

What I fear most is this kind of unreasonable, forceful attack!

Moreover, he had already played for 90 minutes and had expended too much energy.

But it just so happens that both Liu Yang and Traore have this kind of thing happen to him!

Gibbs came over to help defend from behind.

But this young Black man, who looks like a football player, is like a raging bull.

Even the two of them combined couldn't stop him!

Charge all the way down the right flank!

Traore himself was also somewhat bewildered.

I'm here?

What should we do next?

He thought for two seconds and decided to make a cross.

The ball wobbled and wobbled... it didn't even cross the opponent's knee.

The ball hit Mertesacker's shin as he came to cover, and bounced out of bounds.

"..." Traore's anticlimactic actions left the other twenty-one players on the field somewhat bewildered.

Liu Yang was the first to react.

I gave a thumbs up.

"Good shot, Adama, good shot!"

Vera's teammates also realized what was happening.

Not every player can shine like Liu Yang, who just joined the senior team!

For a young player who has just debuted and successfully broken through 1v2, he deserves more encouragement.

So everyone gave Traore a thumbs up.

"Keep kicking like that, Adama, burst them down!"

……

Villa's right-back, Alan Hutton, is positioned outside the right touchline.

He then tossed the ball to Traore.

Having just completed a 1v2 run, Traore's confidence soared.

"My teammates just gave me a thumbs up!"

Then he saw Gibbs and Monreal again.

"I don't care what you say!"

……

Seeing that both Monreal and Gibbs were struggling to hold on, Ramsey had no choice but to go to the left to help defend.

Although this kid's passing doesn't seem to be very good, it's the penalty area after all. What if he manages to pull off a high-quality pass?

Traore could still charge past two opponents, but he was at a loss against three.

"What did the coach say from the sidelines...?"

"Speaking of Liu Yang!"

"Then pass the ball to Liu Yang!"

Traore made a cross to Liu Yang in the middle.

Liu Yang got the ball but there wasn't much he could do.

Flamini, Kirkland, and Rosicky surrounded them from three directions.

There's no room for acceleration whatsoever.

So the ball was passed to the left wing.

……

Grealish on the left flank was completely contained by Bellerin.

But now Jordan Ayew has joined the left flank.

Two against one, Bellerin was starting to struggle.

Furthermore, Jordan Ayew was originally a center forward.

He is strong and healthy, and is not afraid of resisting his body!

The two players each had their own roles: Ayew switched between left winger and center forward, while Grealish switched between left winger and attacking midfielder.

Koscielny couldn't keep his eyes glued to the right flank all the time.

There's also a 1.93-meter-tall player named Gasted in the penalty area.

Although Mertesacker is keeping an eye on him, if he over-coordinates his defense on the right flank, Liu Yang might suddenly surge forward...

Helpless, Flamini moved to the right to help defend his own right flank.

Grealish saw this and thought it was a good opportunity, so he passed the ball back to the middle.

Kirkland and Rosicky together are no match for Liu Yang!

Ramsey retreated back to the center, but Liu Yang passed the ball to Traore on the right!

Traore: "I don't care what you say..."

Ramsey: "..."

And so, with the ninety minutes of regular time almost over, Aston Villa gained the upper hand on the pitch for the first time!

At Villa Park, the chants of the home team's fans grew increasingly deafening.

……

The chat in the live stream started scrolling again.

Why is Arsenal suddenly getting dominated?

- [I was stunned by Liu Yang's powerful shot!]

-【That's not the case. Look at Villa's attacking five now; apart from Grealish, who has a physical weakness, the rest are all burly men!】

No matter how good your Arsenal players' technique and awareness are, if they just use their physicality to overpower you, you can't stop them all by yourself!

- [That's just how Arsenal is; they can't handle tough opponents. Otherwise, why would Wenger keep losing to Mourinho?]

- [Even without Mourinho, Arsenal frequently drops points against teams like Stoke City, whose entire squad is tall and strong!]

……

The problems that the fans can see, Wenger can certainly see too.

That's why he compensated for this by increasing the number of players in the midfield and defense.

They'd rather give up their beautiful football for these few minutes.

Gard also made corresponding adjustments.

They piled all of the team's physically strong offensive players up in front!

No matter how good your technique is, I'll just play with your body.

I don't care about this or that!

Wenger had no solution to this problem.

All the substitution slots have been used up, and even if they weren't, he couldn't conjure up a tall, 1.8-1.9-meter-tall "dark and tough" player out of thin air in the team.

We can only hope the game ends soon.

In recent years, Arsenal has been called the "son-in-law team" and the "soft team".

The term "Nana" only came into being after the departure of "tough guys" like Keown, Petit, Vieira, and Gilberto Silva.

It is often used by fans of other clubs to mock Arsenal's playing style.

When you encounter a tough nut to crack, tragedy can easily occur.

比如3-6曼城、2-8曼联、1-5利物浦、0-6切尔西，还有这赛季的1-5拜仁。

……

From the commentary booth, Coach Zhang also provided timely explanations.

"After Traore came on as a substitute, Villa's two flanks are now very attacking."

"Traore has a clear physical advantage on the right wing, and he's also full of energy since he just came on."

"Grealish and Jordan Ayew took turns attacking down the left flank, using their numerical advantage to suppress the attack."

"Liu Yang in the middle lane is like a transfer station, supplying shells to the flanks in turn."

"But Arsenal cannot ignore this intermediary; he himself can become a firing point at any time, and he's the strongest one at that..."

"Three lines of attack in turn, just waiting for Arsenal to make a mistake."

"One positive factor for Arsenal right now is that time is on their side."

……

Aston Villa, who rarely have the upper hand on the field, are even more motivated by the cheers of their home fans.

If the left path doesn't work, try the right path; if the right path doesn't work, try the left path again.

Liu Yang didn't stick to the ball too much.

He plays the role of a pivot in the middle, facilitating the movement between the two flanks.

Incidentally, he used the threat posed by his previous individual attacks to draw defenders to both flanks.

When the ball was passed to the right wing again, Ramsey, who had been running all game, was a little slow in his defensive support!

Traore was finally no longer surrounded by three men.

He's bursting with confidence now, and with one big move, he's gotten rid of Gibbs!

Skip to the baseline!

Traore also realized the level of his passing and shooting.

Facing the slender Monreal, Traore sprinted all the way down the baseline into the penalty area!

Before Kirkland could block him, he delivered a triangular cross!

From this distance, any shot that goes in would be a dangerous one.

Inside the penalty area, Aston Villa's center forward, Gasteed, attempted to get a header.

Meanwhile, Mertesacker, who was marking him, tried his best to prevent him from receiving the ball!

Neither of the two people knew whose toe had grazed the ball.

A small edge line appeared.

Roll to the left.

"Gralish on the other side!"

"Perfect timing!"

"No one's watching!"

"Time to shoot!"

……

Grealish did not shoot.

Although Jordan Ayew made a run down the left flank and helped him take Bellerin away.

But Flamini had already stretched out his leg to block it!

The young English genius completed his thought process in a flash.

With a gentle tap, Arsenal's defense was shaken.

Then... I chose to pass sideways.

Set up the cannons!

The towering Aston Villa number 19 arrived as scheduled.

The scramble down the two flanks disrupted the positioning of Arsenal's defensive players.

Now only Rosicky is keeping an eye on him.

Of course, that couldn't stop him from inserting it!

Wenger, standing on the sidelines, was dumbfounded.

Isn't this Mourinho's Chelsea's classic three-pronged attack?

Feint attack, draw the defense, set up artillery.

Lampard, Ballack, and even Essien, who made late runs, took long-range shots.

……

The edge of the penalty area.

Liu Yang raised his arm and swung his right leg.

In my mind, the phantom images of Arsenal's number 10 and Newcastle's number 9 lit up simultaneously.

Instead of firing a shot, I gently rubbed it!

The ball traced a beautiful arc, lofting towards the top right corner of the goal!

The Ice Prince's elegance and the Premier League's top scorer's precision!

Cech reacted quickly, but even that wasn't fast enough to fly over from the other side of the goal immediately!

The ball flew past his fingertips.

It flew into the net!

2-2!
