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

After scoring, Liu Yang turned his head to the side, put his hand to his ear, and made a "listening" gesture.

The boos from White Hart Lane suddenly stopped, as if something had choked them.

The Tottenham fans looked distressed, as if they had a frog stuck in their throats.

Lloris remained rooted to the spot, staring at the corner of the goal where the ball had been scored.

Ali and Lamela spread their hands, still expressing their dissatisfaction with the referee's decision.

Kane's mouth dropped open.

His childhood idol was Beckham, and he especially loved Beckham's signature free kick.

I even had a photo taken with Beckham when I was a child.

With his blond hair and sunny good looks, Beckham had his left hand on his shoulder and his right hand on another little girl's shoulder.

Later, this girl became his girlfriend.

The two have been childhood sweethearts and are still very much in love.

On the Tottenham Hotspur bench.

Son Heung-min was a little nervous.

The South Korean media constantly compares him to Liu Yang, which is making him very upset.

This is his first year with Tottenham, and he will have to compete with Lamela for a starting position.

……

"Let's take a look at the replay of this play!"

"Wow, the trajectory of this ball has a really big arc!"

"After completely bypassing the human wall, it made a sharp turn and came back!"

From Lloris's perspective, he probably thought the ball was about to go out of bounds!

"I never expected to be able to bring him back!"

"Therefore, he did not make any save attempt!"

Coach Zhang chuckled.

"For this play, firstly, Dell's defense was very good."

"Liu Yang wanted to force his way through Dell, but it wasn't easy for him."

"Dell's physical abilities are not much worse than his. I can't say I can definitely defend against him, but I can hold him off for a while."

"As a result, Lamela's aggressive defensive efforts backfired, and his good intentions backfired."

"Giving back that card myself, that's not a good deal..."

"The advantage of a relatively young team like this is that they are energetic, passionate, and dynamic, but sometimes they also have to pay the price for it..."

……

Wenger, standing on the sidelines, silently applauded.

"It's so beautiful..."

"That Ferguson guy, first Beckham, then Cristiano."

"Haha, now I have a free-kick expert under my command!"

Pochettino on the other side was very unhappy.

"Conceding a goal so early is really affecting our previous tactical arrangements..."

After thinking for a moment, he waved to the players on the field.

"Don't panic!"

"Let's continue according to our pre-match plan!"

……

The game restarted after the lap time.

Kane kicked off with his weaker foot and passed the ball to Alli behind him.

Tottenham's young players did not get discouraged by conceding an early goal.

At White Hart Lane, the chants of Tottenham fans rang out once again.

A giant banner was held up in the audience.

"To dare is to do!"

It means: to be bold and decisive.

This is Tottenham's slogan.

……

Tottenham launched their attack very quickly.

Eriksen moved to the center and took possession of the ball to organize the attack.

Pass the ball to the right wing.

However, Gibbs had anticipated this and had already begun moving ahead of time.

Suddenly, a strong figure rushed out.

Kyle Walker!

Walker's explosive power allowed him to reach the ball before Gibbs, even after starting from behind!

Poke it forward!

Gibbs crashed into Walker's well-developed pectoral muscles and was bounced back a meter!

On the other side, Danny Rose also rushed in at lightning speed!

Kane, Alli, Lamela, and Eriksen, the four attacking threats, swarmed into the middle!

Walker slowed his sprint, seized the opportunity, and delivered a cross into the penalty area!

Chaos erupted inside Arsenal's penalty area!

"They're in!"

"Kane!"

……

At this time, Kane's skills were not yet fully developed.

He didn't yet possess the technical skill to remain adept even when dropping back to the defensive midfield position, as he would later have.

However, before he suffered a serious knee injury, his running and jumping abilities were still at their peak.

"Wow, Kane won the header against Mertesacker!"

"Headed back!"

"Erickson!"

"You can open the door now!"

The Danish midfielder, receiving the ball at the edge of the penalty area, raised his foot as if to shoot.

But just as Kirkland was desperately trying to tackle and block him, he gently flicked the ball.

She gracefully evaded the defense.

Just as Ramsey stepped forward, he lightly flicked his right foot.

The ball spun in the air and turned left.

"A beautiful feint followed by a real pass!"

"Ali!"

Ali's heading ability is not his strong suit.

However, with Kane drawing two center-backs, he was more than ten centimeters taller than Bellerin, who was marking him, giving him a significant aerial advantage.

"A header!"

"Wow, thanks to Cech!"

The Czech goalkeeper anticipated the play, leaped forward, and caught the ball.

A few soft sighs echoed from White Hart Lane.

But soon, even more enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted.

Cech got up with the ball in his arms, observing his teammates' runs in the attacking third and the gaps in Tottenham's defense.

Walker and Rose quickly ran back to their defensive positions.

……

"The two players on Tottenham's left and right wing positions – Eriksen and Lamela – are not typical wingers, but rather play more like attacking midfielders."

"Coach Pochettino's solution is to have the two full-backs push forward more, increase the width, and complete the tasks on the flanks."

"The advantage of this tactic is obvious: it's easy to create a numerical advantage during an attack."

"The downside is that they are vulnerable to being exploited behind the defense, but these two full-backs are very quick to recover, and behind them there is Dier's sweeping presence and two solidly defending Belgian center-backs to help cover any gaps."

Coach Zhang analyzed Tottenham's tactical routines.

- [Tottenham's young players are incredibly energetic! Arsenal is in danger!]

Arsenal isn't afraid of players with technical skills; they're afraid of players who are physically strong and charge recklessly!

- [Don't panic, Arsenal is still in the lead. Besides, Tottenham has good physical attributes, but who can beat Liu Yang?]

- [Last time Arsenal came to White Hart Lane, they also scored first, but then Kane scored two goals to send them packing!]

- [Fun fact: Arsenal have yet to win a single match against Tottenham since Pochettino took over!]

……

Seeing no opportunity for a quick counter-attack in the attacking third, Cech had no choice but to throw the ball to Mertesacker.

Arsenal attempted to reorganize their attack from their own half.

"Kane came up to press Mertesacker."

"Mertesacker passes to the right, Bellerin, then passes back to Kirkland."

Kirkland was surrounded and robbed by two men!

"Eriksson and Ali have blocked his path forward!"

Kirkland was completely bewildered.

Damn it, Arsenal's ball-handling core is Liu Yang, it's Sanchez.

Why are you targeting me?

Seeing that he couldn't pass the ball forward, Kane was stuck between himself and the defensive line.

Kirkland, in a moment of desperation, kicked him without thinking.

The ball struck Eriksen's outstretched leg, deflected, and rolled towards the wing.

Arsenal have barely managed to temporarily avert a crisis.

……

"Pochettino's pressing in the attacking third is quite unique."

"He doesn't have his own fixed system like Mourinho, Klopp, or Simeone."

"It's more about adapting to the situation; each game has a different strategy."

"The strategy for this match was targeted pressing and cutting off midfield connections."

"Pochettino made a similar adjustment when playing against Manchester City."

Coach Zhang then provided an analysis.

-【Can't understand.】

Why isn't Tottenham targeting Liu Yang or Sanchez?

- [They didn't target them specifically, cutting off their passing lanes from the defensive midfield position.]

In short: Prevent the ball from reaching Liu Yang and Sanchez in the back.

- [What good are you two if you can't get the ball?]

Tottenham used this tactic to thrash Manchester City, whose midfield was at its peak, 4-1 at the start of the season!

- [Can Liu Yang and these Arsenal players solve the problems that David Silva, De Bruyne, Yaya Toure, and Fernandinho couldn't?]

……

On the sidelines, Boulder looked miserable.

"Boss, Tottenham's tactics are too cunning; they're forcing our attacking players to drop back and receive the ball!"

"We cannot allow them to retreat easily."

"Whether it's Liu or Sanchez, retreating will reduce the number of points in front."

"Furthermore, they will also bring their full-backs and defensive midfielders over."

"It's already difficult for us to get the ball out of our own half, and with another physically strong and tackling opponent coming over, it's even easier to lose possession."

Wenger's opinion was firm.

In some football anime, retreating is considered an "advanced tactic" that can solve almost any problem.

But reality isn't an anime; blindly retreating can sometimes backfire.

On the other side, Pochettino was full of confidence.

Arsenal's two defensive midfielders passed the ball to Liu Yang and then launched an attack.

This is a standard procedure.

Other teams might be thinking about how to limit Liu Yang and Sanchez.

However, Walker was quite effective against Sanchez.

Therefore, as long as the ball doesn't get to Liu Yang's feet, we can limit him from the root!

More importantly, Wenger's "beautiful football" emphasizes short passes and requires a reduction in long passes and long balls forward.

……

Time passed by, second by second.

Tottenham's suppression has finally paid off.

In the 26th minute, Arsenal played the ball out from their own half.

As soon as Kirkland received the ball, he was immediately sandwiched between his front and rear.

There's nowhere to pass the ball!

Hesitating for a moment, and the ball was intercepted!

Kirkland initially wanted to counter-attack, but hesitated after realizing he already had a yellow card.

"Arsenal lost possession in their own half!"

"This is an extremely dangerous situation!"

"Let's take a look at Tottenham's counter-attack!"

"Ali!"

A young English prodigy, proud and arrogant.

He showed no weakness in the face of potential competitor Liu Yang.

This season, he has already achieved a double-double in goals and assists!

Seeing that Liu Yang had already scored a goal in the game, he naturally wanted to do his best as well.

"Ali dribbles forward!"

"Kane was right in front of him, but he chose to do it himself!"

"Cross-direction to get past Ramsey!"

"Blow on the door!"

Cech reacted quickly and blocked the ball!

"There's still a chance for a follow-up shot!"

"Harry Kane!"

"Cech's incredible save!"

Wearing a tank helmet, the Czech goalkeeper gave it his all and used his leg to block Kane's close-range follow-up shot!

"The ball bounced to the top of the arc!"

"Erickson!"

After two incredible saves, Cech was unable to make a third.

The ball flew straight into the net!

"Goal!"

"In the 27th minute, Eriksen helped Tottenham equalize at home!"

"Arsenal's defense was riddled with holes in that instant, giving Tottenham three consecutive scoring opportunities!"

"Cech gave it his all; those two incredible saves are worthy of being in a highlight reel!"

"Unfortunately, I was simply unable to save Eriksen's follow-up shot on the third attempt..."

Coach Zhang chuckled and picked up the conversation.

"This goal perfectly illustrates the drive and energy of Tottenham's young players, just like I mentioned before!"

"Pressing against Arsenal's passing game finally paid off."

"Once possession was lost, Tottenham had multiple players rushing forward, quickly creating a numerical advantage."

"Arsenal have no idea how to defend against this; they have too many attacking options!"

……

White Hart Lane stadium erupted in celebration.

On the pitch, Tottenham's young players embraced each other.

Pochettino on the sidelines raised his arms in triumph.

On the other side, Wenger looked utterly helpless and couldn't help but glance at the substitutes' bench.

Cazorla, wearing an Arsenal jacket and protective gear on his feet, was also watching the situation on the field with a serious expression.

At this moment, Wenger misses his beloved disciple, who is equally skilled and has excellent technique, terribly.

If he were on the field, his ball protection, dribbling, and playmaking abilities would greatly reduce the pressure Arsenal is under during this press.

……

The game continues.

Giroud passed the ball back.

Tottenham pressed Arsenal's two defensive midfielders with targeted pressure.

That's the advantage of a youth army.

Although you might be flustered or confused.

But young people often like to be "excited and overly enthusiastic."

The equalizer they just scored has greatly boosted their morale.

The pressing intensity has increased!

Arsenal's backfield is in a state of panic.

……

Liu Yang, playing in the forward position, kept an eye on the situation in his own backcourt.

He also wanted to drop back to receive the ball, but Dale kept sticking to him.

The two defensive midfielders, whose passing and dribbling abilities are average, were already under a lot of pressure.

As he retreated, Dell followed to assist in the pressure.

The ball is even harder to pass to.

……

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yang did something that puzzled Arsenal fans both online and offline.

Keep pushing forward!

What is Liu Yang doing?

- [Arsenal were already struggling to get the ball out of play, so instead of dropping back, he pushed forward?]

Mertesacker in the backfield received a helpless back pass from Kirkland.

I saw Liu Yang's gesture from afar.

He pointed upwards!

Mertesacker has an excellent long pass from the backfield.

Seeing Liu Yang's signal, he simply launched a long ball, lobbing it directly into the opponent's penalty area.

Meanwhile, Tottenham's midfielders and defenders were also surprised that Liu Yang did not drop back to help, but instead pushed up to the front line, almost parallel to Giroud.

Dell, who was closely following Liu Yang, didn't have time to make a decision and retreated to the backcourt with Liu Yang.

The two defensive midfielders could no longer maintain a parallel position, leaving only Moussa Dembélé.

Arsenal players, under Wenger's tutelage, possess exceptionally high football intelligence.

He immediately came to his senses.

Sanchez stopped battling and racing with Walker on the wing and moved diagonally to the attacking midfield position!

At the same time, Ramsey also began to push forward!

Forward runs are one of the Wales midfielders’ strengths.

……

The ball flew over Liu Yang's head.

[Headers: 84]

[Jump time: 75]

[Gain the "King of London" synergy bonus]

[Heading goal: 84 → 99+!]

[Jump height: 75 → 90!]

Despite being sandwiched between two giants, Dale and Alderweireld, Liu Yang still managed to reach the top!

In my mind, Sanchez's header module and Bergkamp's first touch module lit up at the same time!

What can a header and the first touch of the ball combine to form?

"The signature skills of target men!"

Liu Yang's enormous body was able to pause in mid-air!

The ability to stay in the air!

Then he flicked the ball with his head!

The ball bounced out of the penalty area and flew precisely to Sanchez, who had made a run into the middle!

Now it's Mousa Dembélé's turn to fall into the same predicament that Coquelin faced before.

Dell was taken away by Liu Yang, leaving him in a dilemma, torn between two men!

do not care!

Dembele chose to abandon Ramsey and rush towards Sanchez, who had possession of the ball and was closer to both himself and the goal!

At the same time, Walker also came over from the flank to provide defensive support.

Dier handed Liu Yang over to the center-back and rushed out to help cover Ramsey who was in an open position!

However, despite arriving in Europe at the age of 20, the Chilean star still possesses the flair of a South American player.

Liu Yang's header pass was right at his feet, but he spread his legs and let it pass!

A leaky ball?

But there was no one behind Sanchez...

Immediately afterwards, Chilean thigh and right heel slammed together!

Dembele and Walker were dumbfounded.

Gibbs suddenly appeared on the wing!

Unattended!

Gibbs can even take a look before crossing!

Liu Yang leaps high for the second time!

This time, we don't need to have two big men hanging on us when we jump!

Dier went out to cover, and Vertonghen had to defend Giroud.

Only Alderweireld was left, and he suppressed him with his body and jumping ability!

A powerful header!

The ball was slammed into the goal!

Lori quickly got to the ground!

I can't reach it!

Liu Yang's header was a downward header!

It hit the door line!

It bounced back into the net!

2-1!

The boos from White Hart Lane seemed to be choked off again, and stopped once more.

The Tottenham fans looked distressed, as if they had two frogs stuck in their throats.
