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

"Goal! Goal!"

"In the 30th minute of the first half, it was Liu Yang again who broke the deadlock!"

"His powerful run down the wing and his precise shot from just outside the box gave Arsenal the lead!"

- [Haha, halftime over 0.5, I've won!]

- [Liu Yang is too good! Is there any game where he didn't participate in scoring?]

- [Lukaku, watch and learn from this! He's truly mastering the wing play!]

……

Liu Yang and Walcott hugged each other, then opened their arms to welcome their teammates who rushed up to celebrate.

Coleman looked at his Arsenal players celebrating in the distance with some frustration.

Stones bent over, supporting himself on his knees, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes.

How can someone so big be so fast?

He's taller and faster than Lukaku!

Barry, who had seen it all, patted the two men on the shoulder to comfort them.

Lukaku's face showed a hint of confusion.

But then it seemed like he had suddenly figured something out.

"Liu is undoubtedly a super genius!"

"Otherwise, they wouldn't be comparing me to them!"

"Only competing against geniuses like these has any real value!"

"Watch me get one in later!"

……

On the sidelines, Boulder excitedly said to Wenger:

"Boss, Iwobi and Liu really have great chemistry!"

"These two could switch positions at any time, which is extremely threatening!"

Wenger nodded with a smile.

Arsenal's manager doesn't impose any restrictions on players' positions.

He believes that center forwards need to learn the techniques of wingers, and wingers need to learn the techniques of center forwards.

Multiple functions are an inevitable trend in the development of modern football.

Back then, the 1.93-meter-tall "Confident Emperor" Bendtner was used as a winger by Wenger.

On the other side, Martinez looked disappointed, but remained calm.

He loudly encouraged his disciples not to panic.

……

The game restarted after the lap time.

Lukaku made another pass with his weaker foot.

Everton players, poised for action, launched a furious counterattack.

"Deulofeu, beautiful dribble, then a cutback pass to the middle!"

"Barkley... let McCarthy slip through! Take a long-range shot!"

"Oops! It went too high!"

McCarthy raised his hand to signal to his teammates, then ran back to prepare to participate in the defense.

"Coach Martinez has a lot of experience in developing and transforming players."

"For example, Lukaku's ability to pull to the side."

"For example, when playing with three defenders, Baines and Coleman can play as wing-backs to maximize their attacking abilities."

"Take McCarthy, for example. He started as a defensive midfielder, but now his attacking attributes have gradually been developed!"

"Multiple functions and blurred positions are the general trend in the development of modern football."

……

At Goodison Park, the fans did not lose confidence despite being down by one goal.

On the contrary, their shouts grew louder and louder.

The Toffees players gradually regained their confidence amidst the cheers of their home crowd.

They gradually took control of the game.

But Arsenal's defense thwarted wave after wave of attacks.

Near the end of the first half, Lukaku once again moved to the right wing.

Having overcome Gibbs, let's keep going on a rampage!

Cut into the penalty area!

He started cutting inside, despite Paulista's defense!

Paulista desperately tried to block Lukaku's movement, but Lukaku suddenly exerted force and knocked him to the ground!

However, this physical contact also disrupted Lukaku's dribbling routes to some extent.

After taking down Paulista, there was no shooting angle left.

I had no choice but to choose the inverted triangle shape with my right foot.

Lukaku's right foot looked particularly awkward.

He lost his balance by stepping in an inverted triangle with his right foot and fell to the ground.

At least the news got out!

"Barkley!"

"Fire with a powerful shot!"

"Powerful and heavy!"

Despite his obstructed view, Cech reacted instinctively, drawing on his years of experience.

He stretched out his arm to block the ball!

Lukaku was just getting up...

The ball flew right up to his forehead!

Barkley's shot was incredibly powerful, and when it bounced off Cech's arm, it was also incredibly fast!

This hit Lukaku so hard that he fell to the ground with another thud on his butt!

The ball, meanwhile, wobbled and drifted... towards the net?

Cech, who had already made a save, was powerless to turn the tide.

1-1!

Goodison Park was silent for a second.

Lukaku's face was filled with confusion.

Both teams' players looked completely bewildered.

How can they even get in?

Lukaku stood up, looking bewildered as he greeted his teammates' celebrations and the cheers of Everton fans in the stands.

"Never mind, just tell me if you got in or not!"

……

"Wonderful!"

"A clever header on the rebound!"

"Near the end of the first half, Lukaku's header on a rebound leveled the score for Everton!"

"But was it offside?"

"Oh...no offside!"

"Paulista, who was knocked down by Lukaku, was left at the back of the defense!"

"The Belgian youngster, seeing Liu Yang steal the spotlight with his goal, wasn't going to be outdone!"

"This goal had an element of luck, but it also showcased Lukaku's nose for goal!"

The commentator's voice sounded like he was trying hard to suppress a laugh.

This is going to be interesting!

- [Lukaku 1-1 Liu Yang!]

Come on, what kind of "sense of smell" is that? Lukaku just got pure luck!

……

Giroud reluctantly placed the ball at the center circle kickoff point.

It was passed back to Elneny.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

Soon, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

In the locker room, Martinez was very satisfied with the players' performance.

"Barkley, McCarthy, keep up the pressure, push forward more, and when Lukaku is on the wing, you two move into the penalty area more!"

"Arsenal's midfield toughness is simply no match for yours!"

The two young midfielders nodded.

"Bains, Coleman, maintain width on the offense!"

"Romeu..."

Martinez turned to Lukaku.

"Uh...good goal, keep it up in the second half!"

On the other side, in the away team's locker room, Wenger also gave his players a lot of encouragement.

He always knew that Everton was not an easy opponent.

Lukaku's wing play is indeed difficult to handle.

Liu Yang sat in his seat, chewing gum and gently patting his thigh muscles, looking as if he was thinking about something.

……

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

"With the referee's whistle, the second half of the match officially begins!"

Giroud kicks off and passes the ball back to the backfield.

Liu Yang and several teammates quickly rushed across the center circle.

"Iwobi has the ball."

"At this point, he switched to the right wing!"

"Cross the ball in!"

"Wow, how did it get so high?"

"It flew straight out of bounds."

……

Everton's counterattack swept in like a tidal wave.

Barkley and McCarthy, like two young bulls, charged into Arsenal's grassy backyard.

McCarthy, who rose to fame at a young age, has had his attacking talent developed by Martinez, and some British media outlets have begun to compare him to Gerrard.

Barkley, who came through Everton's youth academy, has already reached double figures in both goals and assists this season, earning him the title of "the next Rooney".

Both of them are physically strong and have great impact.

"Pass the ball to the left wing."

"Deulofeu vs. Bellerin!"

"The two were teammates at La Masia when they were young!"

"We've dribbled past Bellerin!"

"An inverted triangle!"

"Barkley, take a long-range shot!"

The ball barely grazed the crossbar before flying out of bounds.

Barkley put his hands on his head, grinned in frustration, and ran back to his own half of the court.

……

In the first ten minutes or so of the second half, Barkley and McCarthy's repeated forward runs caused Arsenal a lot of trouble.

Elneny and Kirkland defended desperately, and Iwobi also ran back to help.

Arsenal and Everton's midfield lines are intertwined.

On the sidelines, Boulder looked dejected and scratched his bald head.

"Boss, Everton's young players are too aggressive!"

Wenger remained calm and didn't say much.

……

The ball was passed back to Barry behind him.

The experienced Barry immediately saw that Arsenal's midfield was struggling to cope with Everton's midfield attacks.

Not to mention defensive support.

So they immediately changed tactics and lobbed the ball to the right wing.

Lukaku pulled to the wing again.

Arsenal's midfielders couldn't provide support, giving him another one-on-one opportunity with Gibbs!

Poor Gibbs, standing next to Lukaku, looks like a child next to an adult.

With a burst of power, Lukaku sent Gibbs flying several meters.

Just as Lukaku was about to continue his sprint, another huge figure appeared beside him.

"Oh? Liu Yang is very proactive in his defensive rotations!"

"He's been moved directly back to the full-back position!"

Are these two incredibly physically gifted young men about to clash?

……

Lukaku was very confident and didn't take Liu Yang seriously.

Based on the information and the coach's tactical guidance, Liu Yang should be a pure offensive player.

Their defense wasn't nonexistent, but it certainly wasn't professional.

It's just that my physique is good enough for me.

With this confidence, Lukaku made a sudden stop and shoulder feint, trying to shake off Liu Yang!

Then, he lost possession of the ball.

"Wow, Lukaku's feint didn't fool Liu Yang!"

"The ball has been intercepted!"

"Let's see if Arsenal can mount a counter-attack!"

……

As soon as Gibbs got up after being knocked over, he saw Liu Yang helping him with the defensive play.

Quickly insert the edging.

He received a through pass from Liu Yang!

Facing the onrushing Coleman, Gibbs wisely chose not to dribble past him, but instead opted for a direct cross!

Stones headed the ball out of the penalty area before Giroud could react.

Barry controlled the ball very well.

He saw Lukaku on the right wing drop back to the midfield line and reach out for the ball.

"Haha, Lukaku's a bit resentful!"

"I just got humiliated by Liu Yang, and now I'm determined to get revenge!"

Barry passed the ball over.

Lukaku received the ball, executed a sharp turn, and then stopped and dribbled!

But he discovered that Liu Yang wasn't fooled!

Instead, they stuck to themselves!

"Bang!"

The two giant beasts collided shoulder to shoulder, and Lukaku felt a powerful force.

This opponent is even slightly stronger than himself?

Lukaku has never liked fighting against people stronger than himself.

He twisted his right foot and then turned his left foot, trying to make a sudden stop and change of direction to shake off Liu Yang!

Then, the ball disappeared from his feet again.

……

"Wow, Liu Yang has made another face-to-face steal!"

"I never expected Liu Yang to have such excellent defensive awareness!"

"With the development of modern football, the demands on attacking players' defensive abilities and pressing attitude are becoming increasingly higher!"

"A player like this, who excels on both offense and defense, would be highly sought after no matter what position he plays!"

……

"Good defense, Liu, a brilliant interception!"

Wenger, standing on the sidelines, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

After making the steal, Liu Yang dribbled the ball past midfield.

In his mind, the Kanter module, which had just lit up slightly, slowly dimmed.

Seeing Everton's defense, Hazard, nimbly weaving through the defense in his Chelsea jersey, stood out.

Coleman took a deep breath and stepped forward to defend.

In this match, he and Gibbs were the unluckiest people on their respective sides.

He always had to fight against guys who were much stronger than him.

Upon seeing Liu Yang this time, he dared not rush forward to snatch the weapon, and could only retreat while maintaining a bent-over posture.

Stones also stood behind him to prevent Liu Yang from using his speed to get past him again.

However, when Liu Yang arrived at the left side of the penalty area and faced Coleman's defense, he actually stopped.

Coleman's pupils are tremor-like.

What does he want to do?

Trying to use a feint?

Instead of using their physical advantages, they choose to rely on technique and challenge their strength—stealing?

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yang made a series of feints before choosing to move to the right.

Cut inside and shoot?

Coleman had anticipated this and took action in advance, blocking his path!

But Liu Yang suddenly pulled the ball back with his right foot and flicked it from behind!

A backhand flick?

Coleman was caught off guard and froze on the spot!

All we could do was watch as Liu Yang turned and drove to the outside, crushing Stones who was rushing to cover, and broke into the paint!

A cutback cross!

Giroud in the penalty area unleashes a powerful shot to seal the victory!

The ball flew into Howard's goal once again!

2-1!

……

"pretty!"

"Liu Yang used a series of feints on the wing to create space, setting up Giroud for the goal!"

"Arsenal have taken the lead once again!"

"That's standard winger play!"

"First, he made a steal on the wing, then dribbled past the defender!"

"He did the work of both a winger and a full-back!"

The comment section exploded once again.

Wow, what a cool kick!

- [Another beautiful feint! Liu Yang's long legs are so captivating when he does these moves!]

[He single-handedly defended Lukaku, dribbled past the defense, and finished with an assist – this is a demonstration of forehand and backhand techniques!]

- [Lukaku, stop showing off your amateurish dribbling skills. Take back Liu Yang's video and watch it carefully to learn!]

……

On the sidelines, Boulder was as happy as a balding child.

"Boss, is Liu Yang's defense that good too?"

"Your idea of ​​occasionally letting him delay might actually work!"

Wenger was also very excited.

While it's true that using such high-end products for both offense and defense is a bit of a waste.

However, Liu Yang's defense against the physically imposing Lukaku was indeed quite effective!

Suddenly, he remembered something else.

"How many times have I told that kid not to do so many fancy maneuvers unless absolutely necessary!"

"They're very easy to get injured!"

……

On the other side, Martinez wore a wry smile.

Why didn't Liu Yang demonstrate his defensive abilities in previous matches?

After thinking for a while, the Everton coach suddenly realized.

"It must be to protect the young players and reduce their workload!"

"Players like Liu and Lukaku, with their physique and aggressive playing style, naturally have a higher risk of injury!"

"Therefore, we require him to reduce his defensive duties!"

"Wenger truly deserves his reputation as a world-class manager who has nurtured so many talented young players!"

"I'm not as good as Wenger!"

……
