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

In the locker room, Mertesacker was very frustrated.

"It's my fault, I made a mistake on defense..."

Wenger tried his best to boost morale.

"Guys, you played well. Even with one less player, we still have a chance."

"Although we conceded a goal, our defense did a very good job for the rest of the time."

"In the second half, the opponent will still attack fiercely."

"We need to maintain our defense while seizing opportunities for counter-attacks."

Teaching assistant Boulder pulled Liu Yang and Gnabry to a corner.

"Get ready, lads. If we're still trailing around the 75-minute mark, you two need to be ready to come on."

……

After a 15-minute halftime break, both teams returned to the field.

Arsenal, playing at home with one less player, are currently trailing Chelsea 0-1.

Neither side has made any personnel changes!

"With the referee's whistle, the second half of the Arsenal vs. Chelsea match officially begins!"

Walcott, who kicked off from center circle, passed the ball back to Iwobi behind him.

Ramsey and Chamberlain on the wing came to support him.

Arsenal's close-range passing game has consistently been among the best in Europe.

This is the foundation of Wenger's "beautiful football".

A series of quick passing combinations actually broke through Chelsea's pressing!

"Walcott! He's got a one-on-one opportunity on the right wing!"

"He's incredibly fast... Oh no, we've lost the ball!"

"Azpilicueta has stolen the ball!"

Azpilicueta is known as a "jack-of-all-trades" by fans.

He can play as a full-back, center-back, or even a midfielder.

Mourinho once said: "I like players like Azpilicueta. If a team has 11 'AZPs', then that team can win the championship."

"Football is not just about talent, but also a contest of will and determination, and 'AZP' possesses these qualities."

Seeing that their initial attack had failed to yield results, Arsenal quickly retreated into a defensive formation and focused their efforts on defense.

……

As the game continued, Chelsea, with a one-man advantage, maintained their dominance on the field.

Hazard made several breakthroughs down the left flank, but due to his recent return from injury, he was not in good form and was unable to shake off Bellerin's defense.

Diego Costa continued to cunningly maneuver among Arsenal's defenders, his subtle tactics never ceasing.

One moment he was touching Koscielny's buttocks, the next he was nudging Kirkland's lower back, and then he was putting his hand on Paulista's... vital parts.

Wenger, make substitutions already! Can't you see we're behind?

[Quickly bring Liu Yang up and give them a good beating!]

Arsenal are simply not up to par. Their entire defense is being overwhelmed. If they bring on attacking players, won't they collapse?

The chat room was filled with a dense barrage of comments.

"Zhang, what adjustments do you think Wenger will make? Does Liu Yang still have a chance to make his Arsenal debut?"

Although as I get older, I often forget people's names when giving explanations.

However, Coach Zhang's tactical analysis during the match is still among the best in China.

"Arsenal's first priority now is defense."

"You're down a man, so you're already at a disadvantage in terms of stamina. Defense takes much less energy than offense."

"Their primary task in the second half is to withstand Chelsea's attacks and maintain the current score."

"A 0-1 score difference isn't that big, but if we concede another goal or even two, it will be difficult to catch up."

"Then, in the last fifteen to twenty minutes of the game, bring in fresh players to make a few runs and try to tie the score."

"Bringing offensive players on too early means that their energy levels will be depleted later on, making it harder for the defense to hold up."

Even if we score, there's a high probability we'll concede again if we can't defend the defense.

……

Chelsea's continuous attacks were thwarted wave after wave by Arsenal.

Around the 70th minute of the match, Chelsea also slowed down their attacking pace.

Statistics show that the probability of a goal is highest between the 65th and 78th minute of a football match.

After that, as both sides' physical condition declined sharply, the goal-scoring rate began to drop significantly.

Moreover, Chelsea's two veteran defenders, Ivanovic and Terry, have already experienced a significant decline in physical fitness.

Wenger had been waiting for this opportunity.

"Liu, Sergi, hurry up and warm up! You two will be playing together later!"

"Time is running out, Chelsea's defense is also exhausted, we still have a chance to equalize!"

Liu Yang's heart suddenly raced.

This will be his debut for Arsenal's senior team!

……

"The match has reached the 80th minute, and Arsenal are preparing to make a substitution."

"Wenger used both of his remaining substitutions!"

"Walcott and Ramsey have been substituted!"

"Gnabry and Liu Yang, get ready to come on as substitutes!"

This is Liu Yang's first appearance for Arsenal's first team!

Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium, who had been quiet for a long time, finally came alive.

Fans held up a banner.

"Liu, welcome home."

……

The moment Liu Yang stepped onto the Emirates Stadium pitch, the familiar electronic mechanical sound in his mind rang out again.

Congratulations! You have obtained a new quest instance: "Defend the Chieftain's Stadium"

Arsenal's senior debut was not easy.

[Playing with one less player, they are behind in the score.]

See your good buddy next to you?

You guys are Arsenal's last resort.

Let's fight side by side now, defeat Chelsea, and defend the Emirates Stadium!

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained the shared bond with your friend Gnabry: King of London!]

[His chemistry with Gnabry has improved!]

[Effect: When the opponent is a London team, all attributes receive a significant boost!]

[Mission Reward: Chelsea Legend Chest]

King of London?

It will probably be a few more years before Gnabry truly earns his reputation.

Liu Yang didn't have time to think much. He gave Walcott, who had been substituted, a high-five and then hurriedly ran to his position.

……

Hiddink is no ordinary person either.

Wenger knew he needed to intensify the attack in the final ten minutes, and he certainly knew that too.

With a wave of his hand, he used up two substitution slots.

Cahill came on to replace veteran Terry, whose stamina was waning.

Mikel replaced Hazard, who had just recovered from injury.

Move Fabregas to the attacking midfield position and Oscar to the forward line.

The pairing of Mikel and Matic in the double pivot midfield greatly enhances the midfield's solidity.

……

The game continues.

Bellerin throws the ball out of bounds.

After receiving the ball on the wing, Gnabry immediately passed it to the center.

As soon as Liu Yang received the ball, Mikel closed in and blocked his back!

Matic also positioned himself to provide support at any time, denying him any space to force a turn.

Liu Yang had no choice but to pass the ball back.

"Good shot, good defense!"

Hiddink spared no praise for his players from the sidelines.

He had naturally watched the videos from Liu Yangweila's time and knew that this young man was not easy to deal with.

We definitely need to employ targeted defense against him!

……

Liu Yang is trying hard to find his form on the court.

Chelsea's midfield toughness even surpasses that of their most formidable opponent, Southampton.

Mikel is intelligent and strong.

They wouldn't let Liu Yang go.

And there was Matic behind him.

The Serbian defensive midfielder, at the peak of his career, is 194 cm tall and possesses the robust physique typical of Eastern Europeans.

He ranks first in the Premier League for interceptions, first in physical duel success rate, and second in tackles.

The strictest father of the former German midfielder for Arsenal.

Arsenal's repeated losses to Chelsea in recent years are also related to this.

Besides his opponents, Liu Yang is also adapting to his teammates' rhythm.

Unlike Aston Villa, who often park the bus and launch long balls, or pass the ball to themselves and Grealish and others to solve problems in the attacking third through individual ability.

Even with one less player, Arsenal players will still execute a lot of short passing combinations and one-touch passing.

The coordination with these teammates still needs to be developed gradually.

In short: After doing many difficult problems, you need to adjust your thinking before tackling easier ones.

……

"Arsenal's formation is very flexible right now!"

"Several forwards—Iwobi, Chamberlain, Liu Yang, and even Gnabry—can all play as either forward or midfielder!"

"Their formation can switch between 4-3-2 and 4-2-3 at any time, and can even become 4-4-1 or 4-1-4 if necessary!"

"Chamberlain and Iwobi's midfield combination shook off Oscar's pressing!"

"Iwobi, pass the ball to Liu Yang again!"

The moment he received the ball, Gnabry immediately started moving!

Liu Yang understood immediately.

Before Mikel could get up, he passed the ball out with one touch!

The ball slipped between Mikel and Azpilicueta and reached Gnabry's feet!

"Arsenal's chance!"

boom!

Gnabry was sent flying!

"Wow, Chelsea's young Frenchman, Zouma, made a crucial defensive play!"

"Slow-motion replay shows that Zouma touched the ball first, therefore there was no foul!"

"Zuma was able to touch the ball first, which shows just how strong this young man's physical abilities are!"

"It has speed, and it has competition!"

"However, Arsenal's series of passes was beautifully executed!"

"They dismantled Chelsea's defense!"

"The teamwork displayed by Iwobi, Liu Yang, and Gnabry, three Arsenal youngsters of similar age!"

"Perhaps they have this same chemistry in every training session and match in the youth team!"

Gnabry squatted on the ground for a long time to recover.

The first thing he did after standing up was to give Liu Yang a thumbs up.

Liu Yang turned around confidently and went back to participate in the defense.

The feeling of playing alongside Iwobi and Gnabry in the youth team.

It's like playing with teammates who have better skills.

The feeling of doing easy questions.

They're back, they're all back.

……

Zuma walked away expressionlessly, as if nothing had happened.

This young Chelsea defender has an explosive physique.

Speed, jumping ability, and physical strength are all maxed out.

The defensive awareness needs to be strengthened.

When Zouma partnered with John Terry, he was practically a solid, mobile wall in the back line.

But he became reckless when Terry wasn't around.

Therefore, some Chelsea fans say that Terry is Zouma's "external brain".

……

Bellerin threw the ball out of bounds again on the right.

He threw it to Chamberlain, and it ended up at Iwobi's feet.

Nigerian player Azpilicueta's relentless pressing made him hesitant to break through.

He twisted his body and dribbled towards the middle.

Chamberlain on the left made a quick forward run and took Matic away!

For a moment, Mikel hesitated.

Should they press Iwobi, who has come to their defensive zone, or help Azpilicueta, who has been brought over, to defend the left flank?

In that brief moment of hesitation, Chelsea's defense created a sliver of an opening!

Iwobi took a step and passed the ball to Gnabry behind Mikel!

Mikel knew he was in trouble and quickly turned around to pounce on Gnabry!

……

Gnabry received a pass from Iwobi.

Feeling inexplicably good about oneself.

What's going on?

Did they get some kind of buff?

Before Mikel and Azpilicueta could get back into position, Gnabry flicked his ankle and delivered a comfortable through ball!

"What's going on? That pass felt... amazing!"

"I've never received such a perfect pass!"

A huge figure appeared on the right flank the moment Gnabry's through ball began to slow down!

"Liu Yang!"

"When did he move to the wing again?"

……

Mikel and Azpilicueta have not yet returned to their defensive positions.

Zuma charged towards Liu Yang!

He knew about Liu Yang's physical abilities when the team was analyzing tactics.

On the contrary, they became even more excited.

Although my defensive skills and awareness are not yet up to par, when it comes to physical strength, I, Zuma, have never been afraid of anyone!

Come on, Arsenal's geniuses, let's test our speed and our physicality!

Come……

Gnabry's self-perception was indeed accurate.

His through ball was perfect in both power and angle.

The ball started to slow down just in front of Liu Yang!

In my mind, Bergkamp's "first touch" seems to shine even brighter than before, perhaps enhanced by the Arsenal jersey he's wearing.

He lightly touched the ball during the sprint.

Before Zuma's excitement had even subsided, the ball had already passed between his legs!

If you're good at technical skills, who's going to compete with you physically?

"Wow, that was a brilliant nutmeg!"

"Zuma's aggressive tackle was a bit reckless!"

"This is his old problem!"

"Liu Yang suddenly enters the penalty area!"

"A chance to face the goalkeeper directly!"

……

Courtois is on high alert.

His two-meter-tall model and extremely fast reaction speed give him a strong deterrent effect in front of the door.

He can defend against the opponent's shots, and he can also defend against his teammate's... girlfriend.

It has both the ability and the character to back it up.

At this time, however, due to his height, his ability to get down on the ground was not yet top-notch.

In Liu Yang's mind, the shooter module of Shearer slowly lit up.

With 85 shooting rating and 90 footwork, combined with the double bonuses from Solskjaer's "Super Sub" module and Gnabry's "King of London" module.

Get all of them to 99+!

Liu Yang raised his right leg high!

boom!

A ground-hugging slash!

The ball swept across the grass at an extremely high speed.

Courtois pupil earthquake.

That ball speed, that power?

How could he actually keep the ball under control and hit it low to the ground?

In the blink of an eye, he didn't have time to get out of bed!

The ball passed between his legs!

Amid the expectant gazes of tens of thousands of Arsenal fans at the home stadium.

The netting at the Emirates Stadium was lifted high!

"Goal! Goal!"

"In the 84th minute, Arsenal, playing with ten men, seized their opportunity and equalized!"

"Liu Yang scored a goal in his Arsenal senior team debut!"

That's incredible!

- [Liu Yang is awesome!]

- [Isn't he unbelievably strong? I did the math, and since Liu Yang's first appearance, he's scored or assisted in every single game!]

-【Furthermore, he has never lost a single match he's played in!】

- [Don't rush, there are still a few minutes left in the game, and Arsenal are still down to ten men. Let's see if their unbeaten streak will be broken.]

……

After scoring, Liu Yang excitedly rushed towards Gnabry and Iwobi, and the three of them stood on the sidelines with their arms around each other's shoulders!

Bellerin and Chamberlain were the first to catch up.

Several people stood in a row, welcoming the thunderous cheers from the enthusiastic home fans!

Let's take a look at the goal replay!

"This goal came from Bellerin's throw-in. Chamberlain drew the defense, Iwobi initiated the attack, and Gnabry finally assisted Liu Yang to score!"

"Liu Yang at 19, Iwobi at 19, Gnabry at 20!"

"They were partners in the youth team, and now, after all these years, they've all come together again in Arsenal's senior team!"

"And there's Bellerin at 21 and Chamberlain at 23!"

The camera panned to Wenger in the control area! He looked quite pleased!

"Seeing the outstanding performance and brilliant teamwork of these young players, both Wenger and Arsenal fans must be very happy!"

"They have plenty of time; they are the future of Arsenal!"

……

As Gnabry walked back to his own half after the celebration, his excitement hadn't completely dissipated.

"Liu, your goal was fantastic!"

"That big black guy got his crotch pierced, he's swaying back and forth like a dazed fool!"

"Thanks, Sergey, your assist was fantastic, a very comfortable pass!"

"I didn't even need to make any adjustments; I just touched him and groined him!"

The chubby little German boy was so happy he was almost incoherent.

"Really? I felt the same way. It was like a magical intuition, like I made a pass of the highest quality I've ever made in my life!"

"Liu, do you think there was some kind of magical magic or buff? This is, in my opinion, my best game of the season so far!"

Liu Yang certainly wouldn't tell him anything about a system or anything like that.

"Perhaps, maybe heaven gave you some kind of magic, increasing your attributes by a certain percentage when your opponent is a London team..."

Gnabry laughed and slapped Liu Yang hard on the back.

"Hahaha... Liu, if you really say that, wouldn't I end up with the nickname 'King of London'?"

……

Inside the VIP boxes in the audience area.

Abu's expression was subtle.

"Why did they still manage to tie the game even though they had one more player?"

"Hiddink's style of play is really too conservative!"

"Lacks visual appeal!"

As Chelsea's owner and a first-generation FM player, Abramovich has always wanted his team to not only win games but also play entertaining football.

Even during Mourinho's peak years as manager, the two had disagreements over their football philosophies.

"I've already watched Liu Yang, the one who scored the goal, play."

"Don't you guys think his playing style is very entertaining?"

"It's impactful and shows excellent footwork!"

"What a pity! When I wanted to enter the world of football, I originally wanted to buy Arsenal!"

The staff seemed quite used to their boss's constant guidance and his occasional interest in the players.

Gullit, who was sitting next to him, turned around.

"Liu's playing style is somewhat similar to mine when I was younger!"

……

After celebrating his goal, Wenger immediately regained his composure.

With little time remaining and Arsenal playing with ten men, the safest course of action is to hold on for a draw.

"Well played, kids, now watch out for their comeback!"

"Everyone back down! Gnabry, you stay at the front!"

The game restarted after the lap time.

Costa passed the ball back to Matic.

Arsenal's formation immediately contracted into a 4-4-1.

Wenger has no more substitutions left.

He could only pin his hopes on these young players who primarily played offensive roles.

Hopefully, they can withstand Chelsea's attack in these final minutes of the game.

On the other hand, Hiddink was in no hurry to use his last substitution.

Putting aside the unexpected factor of the red card, a 1-1 draw away from home seems to be an acceptable score.

……

But Chelsea's players seemed unwilling to settle for a draw.

They have beaten Arsenal countless times in recent years.

What's more, the other side is down to one player.

I'd be somewhat unwilling to give up until I secured victory.

"Diego Costa won the header!"

"Fabregas, pass the ball to the wing!"

"William!"

Compared to many of his fellow Brazilians who play with flashy moves, Willian's style of play is simpler and more practical.

I want to have a baby in Montreal!

Iwobi rushed over to help defend.

The Nigerian little black dog, who had been running all day, was still full of energy!

Willian couldn't shake off the two defenders and had no choice but to force a cross!

"It hit Iwobi!"

"Iwobi looked like he was in a lot of pain, but he still managed to clear the ball out of bounds despite the pain!"

"Looks like he took the hit head-on!"

……

The referee stopped the game.

Willian's cross hit Iwobi!

Iwobi clutched his baby Iwobi and lay on the ground in pain.

The team doctor rushed onto the field to check on the situation.

Wenger, who was on the opposite side of the pitch, couldn't see the situation clearly and his face was full of worry.

If Iwobi can't hold on, then Arsenal will have to play with nine men!

……

"I'm fine, help me up, I can still kick..."

Despite wincing in pain, Iwobi forced himself to stand up.

After receiving permission from the team doctor, the referee signaled for play to continue, awarding Chelsea a throw-in on the right side.

Ivanovic threw the ball to Willian.

But facing the double defense of Monreal and Iwobi, especially Iwobi's "I'd rather give up sex" attitude.

William also began to back down.

The ball was passed back to Fabregas, who came from the middle to receive it.

And standing next to him was Liu Yang.

……

As soon as Fabregas received the ball, the boos at the Emirates Stadium rose another notch.

A few scattered shouts could still be heard from the stands.

"Liu, kill him!"

Fabregas has a bit of a temper.

"This Liu doesn't seem to be known for his defense..."

He kept touching the ball, trying to get past him!

"Kid, I've already experienced your early fame all along!"

Then, the ball at his feet was poked.

Fabregas felt like he had crashed into a wall or some kind of heavy truck and was flipped to the ground!

……

Liu Yang is indeed not good at defense.

Fabregas's feint did indeed fool him.

However, Liu Yang is 1.96 meters tall.

Her legs are quite long!

Even though his center of gravity was feinted, he still managed to touch the ball!

He then used a physical confrontation to knock Fabregas down.

What do you mean by "numerical monster"?

……

"Wow, that's intense physical contact!"

"Fabregas tried to get past Liu Yang, but was intercepted!"

"This is quite interesting for Arsenal fans who remember Fabregas during his time at Arsenal!"

The moment Fabregas fell to the ground, a cheer erupted at the Emirates Stadium.

Matic and Mikel, the two defensive midfielders, immediately realized something was wrong.

The two quickly retreated to the vicinity of the center circle, one after the other.

Fearing that Liu Yang would launch another mid-lane blast!

……

Liu Yang didn't rush to dribble the ball.

Fabregas, who was knocked over, felt dizzy and hadn't recovered yet.

No one immediately retaliated!

He had the opportunity to look up and observe.

Gnabry in the attacking third has already started making runs.

In an almost instantaneous decision, Liu Yang swung his arms and kicked his legs.

In my mind, Scholes with his ginger-yellow hair slowly lit up.

Long pass!

The ball traveled from the left defensive zone, along the diagonal of the field, and landed on the right flank.

Right in front of Gnabry!

"A long pass from Liu Yang! It pierced through Chelsea's entire defense!"

"Gnabry was not offside!"

"A one-on-one opportunity!"

……

Gnabry ran towards the ball's landing point.

Cahill was running over desperately to try and distract him.

Ahead stood the tall and imposing Courtois.

Zuma, Mikel, and Matic were also chasing after them.

Gnabry has yet to score a goal for Arsenal.

I was a little nervous.

But Liu Yang's words echoed in the little fat man's ears again.

"King of London"

"Liu is definitely right, I'm very strong, otherwise how could I have provided such a beautiful assist to Liu?"

"Now that he's passed it on to me, I won't necessarily let him down!"

The ball bounced on the ground and landed right in front of Gnabry.

The power and precision are just right, and you don't even need advanced ball-stopping skills.

Gnabry's tension vanished instantly.

"Liu, your passing is still better than mine!"

"I can score!"

"Damn Chelsea, don't underestimate the bond between us brothers!"

He had just reached the edge of the penalty area when Chelsea's defenders were in position to cover him.

Gnabry unleashed a powerful shot!

Courtois was caught off guard.

The ball, spinning intensely, flew straight into the top right corner of the goal!

2-1!

The entire Emirates Stadium was instantly ignited!

The cheers of Arsenal fans were deafening!
