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

"Look at this header! Another one!"

"In the 37th minute, Arsenal have taken the lead again!"

"It's Liu Yang again!"

"Last time against Chelsea, he came on as a substitute and scored a goal and an assist within ten minutes, helping Arsenal, playing with ten men, to a comeback victory!"

"He scored twice before the first half even ended against Tottenham!"

"During his time at Aston Villa, he also scored two goals against Arsenal."

"Does he have some kind of magical power that makes him shine when playing against London teams?"

As Zhan Jun delivered his passionate commentary, the live chat exploded with comments.

-【King of London!】

- [Liu Yang is really strong! He carried two big men all by himself in the penalty area!]

- [Sanchez's backheel flick was so flashy, typical of a South American player!]

- [There are fewer and fewer players with Ronaldinho's flamboyant style of play these days. Most players are gradually adopting a more European style, becoming more methodical. Only Neymar still frequently uses those fancy moves.]

- [There's no way around it; creativity means a high error rate. Unless you're truly as good as Ronaldinho or Neymar, among players of the same caliber, big teams will definitely prefer stability.]

……

After scoring, Liu Yang got up and brushed the grass off his body.

Then he went to find Sanchez and Gibbs, with whom he had successfully cooperated, and the three of them hugged each other.

"Kieran, your crosses were absolutely accurate!"

"Oh, not at all, it's all thanks to Alexis's brilliant timing! I never dreamed that the ball would travel like that from behind! And it just happened to land right under my feet!"

"Hahaha, it's all thanks to Liu's header pass! Those two Tottenham defenders are as strong as oxen, yet he still managed to win the first ball and get it to my feet!"

The three of them complimented each other for a while, then turned around to greet their teammates who came running over to celebrate.

Behind them, Ali, who was tracking back, saw the ball conceded and angrily began to criticize the defense for not winning the ball.

Alderweireld began to argue, clearly dissatisfied, but Dier immediately stepped forward and pointed at Alli, speaking up for his teammates in the back line.

"What's all the noise about? Haven't you ever fought against Liu? His physical abilities are so strong..."

Walker rushed over to break up the fight, and the good-natured Kane also rushed back from the front.

Young people are easily swayed by their emotions.

But the team is behind, so internal strife cannot occur.

……

Boulder and his coaching staff on the sidelines embraced each other excitedly.

Wenger was both excited and somewhat puzzled.

"I haven't adjusted my tactics yet..."

"Was Liu's gesture just now a signal to make a long pass from the backcourt?"

In terms of pre-match planning, the professor is undoubtedly a top-tier coach, but his ability to make on-the-spot adjustments and adapt to changing circumstances is indeed slightly lacking.

After thinking for a while, the professor suddenly slapped his head.

"Liu's forward run and Giroud's combination form a two-striker formation!"

"Two forwards up front, long balls from the back finding the taller players..."

"Isn't this the oldest form of English football?"

"Many smaller teams are still using this tactic to break down high-pressing against stronger teams."

"Simple and direct, success rate is uncertain, but it definitely works!"

"I'm really getting old, I haven't even remembered this trick..."

The professor has always upheld the pursuit of beautiful football.

However, he also gives his key players a great deal of tactical freedom.

Since it was Liu Yang's decision, and it did indeed have an effect.

Even with a playing style he dislikes the most, the professor can accept it with pleasure.

……

On the other side, Pochettino frowned.

Where is the beautiful football we were promised? Where are the passing and movement combinations we were promised?

Why is Wenger, you old man, resorting to this "big foot" tactic?

Don't talk about martial arts!

"The moment Liu Yang made his forward run, he also drew Dell's attention."

"There was a lack of communication between the defensive midfielder and the defenders."

"Dier was drawn into the penalty area, leaving only Dembele in the defensive midfield position."

While Arsenal's celebrations had just ended and the game hadn't started at halftime, Pochettino quickly called Dier to the sidelines.

"Eric, if Liu makes a run into the penalty area, have the center-back deal with him!"

"You need to pay attention to protecting your lower back!"

"Also, call a few more offensive players back to protect the top of the key!"

"Keep your positioning organized, don't let them create a numerical advantage in front of the penalty area!"

Dell nodded repeatedly, then ran back onto the court.

Pochettino returned to his team's bench.

I mentally reviewed the entire process of my team conceding the goal.

"Sanchez cuts inside, Ramsey pushes forward, Dembele can't defend two defenders at once, Walker follows Sanchez to help defend, and Gibbs is left unmarked when he pushes forward..."

"The attacking players surrounded the defensive midfielder, disrupting the defense, and the full-backs' forward runs created a numerical disadvantage..."

"Isn't this exactly my offensive strategy?"

The Tottenham manager immediately looked ashamed.

"Treating someone in the same way they treat you?"

"Arsène Wenger, truly a world-class manager..."

"I'm not as good as Wenger..."

……

The game restarted after the lap time.

Due to Pochettino's instructions and his wariness of Liu Yang's forward runs, Tottenham's midfield did not dare to press forward so aggressively.

Liu Yang laughed as soon as he saw it.

Since you've retreated, I'll have to go back now.

At the same time, Sanchez also retreated.

Although this will reduce the number of players attacking in the frontcourt, they currently have the lead.

Going into halftime with a 2-1 lead is perfectly acceptable for Arsenal, who are playing away from home.

Moreover, playing a fast-paced, attacking style all the time is disadvantageous for Arsenal.

Tottenham's squad is more dynamic, physically stronger, and has more attacking power.

If Arsenal keeps running around trying to outrun them, they'll definitely be the first to break down.

Coming back to control the pace in their own half during this period is a good opportunity for everyone to catch their breath.

The intense competition of three matches in seven days, coupled with the fast-paced 30-minute match, left Liu Yang's legs feeling slightly sore.

……

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

Liu Yang took a breath and walked off the court with his teammates.

"Tired?"

Wenger immediately noticed Liu Yang's fatigue and handed him a bottle of water.

Liu Yang wiped his sweat, took the water bottle, and nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

The professor then took out another banana.

The two teams are evenly matched, and the tense situation is expected to continue until the end of the game. He is also hesitant to substitute his key player early.

"It's okay, we'll arrange special training for you during the offseason to improve your physical fitness..."

"I'll be putting extra effort into my physical conditioning during the offseason..."

The master and apprentice spoke almost simultaneously, then both paused for a moment.

Wenger chuckled and patted Liu Yang on the shoulder.

……

In Tottenham's locker room, Pochettino's knuckles were banging loudly on the tactics board.

"They said to be careful to protect your lower back, so why are you all cowering in the back and too scared to go up?"

"We should still try to win the ball back, just like in the first half. If it's difficult to win it back from Liu, then we should try to intercept the other two midfielders!"

"They were able to control the ball and slow down the pace in the last few minutes of the first half because both sides had expended a lot of energy."

"They regained their stamina in the second half. I don't believe they can control the entire second half."

"Don't get discouraged, don't panic. Just like in the first half, cut off their connection between the front and backcourt!"

The Tottenham youth team listened attentively, and even the usually impatient Dele Alli showed complete agreement.

……

The fifteen-minute halftime break ended quickly.

Both teams' players returned to the field.

Liu Yang looked across the field and noticed that the anxious and frustrated expressions on the faces of the young Tottenham players had disappeared by the end of the first half.

With the referee's whistle, Kane passed the ball back to Eriksen.

White Hart Lane stadium has returned to its bustling state.

Tottenham fans waved white scarves to cheer on their team.

……

As Pochettino said.

Arsenal's midfield couldn't withstand the relentless attacks and pressure from Tottenham's young team.

In the 60th minute, Coquelin was once again under pressure and unable to get the ball out of play.

Loss of possession in the backfield!

Kirkland instinctively grabbed Ali's jersey.

Suddenly I remembered that I already have a yellow card!

But it was too late; Ali simply collapsed to the ground.

"Pulling someone from behind is a tactical foul!"

"It's time to take the card!"

"The referee showed a yellow card!"

"Kirkland receives a second yellow card and is sent off!"

"Arsenal will have to play with ten men again..."

- [What the heck? Arsenal got another red card?]

Tottenham have been eyeing Arsenal's defensive midfield position for a long time, targeting it both offensively and defensively. A disastrous outcome is inevitable.

Don't panic, brothers! Liu Yang, the King of London, will lead us to victory!

- [Does Liu Yang always have a player sent off when playing against London teams?]

-【But Liu Yang always performs exceptionally well against London teams!】

- [So it's a sacrifice-style kicking technique?]

……

Kirkland walked off the field looking dejected.

Wenger quickly called Flamini to warm up.

The Tottenham youth team is in high spirits.

Seeing Kirkland receive a red card, Ali, who was sitting on the ground, stood up and roared at the audience while waving his arms!

Under his influence, the cheers at White Hart Lane grew even louder!

Liu Yang returned to defend a set piece with his head down, sensing something was wrong.

When the opponent is a young team that plays with high spirits, it's not good news if their players' morale soars.

"Eriksen, handle this free kick near the wing!"

"Lock it into the restricted area!"

"Goal!"

"A Tottenham player headed the ball in the penalty area!"

"Alderweireld flicked the ball on with his head, and Alli headed it in at the far post!"

"Tottenham, who had just gained a one-man advantage, have equalized at home!"

White Hart Lane Stadium Moments

Ali and Alderweireld put their arms around each other's shoulders.

The two, who had some verbal sparring in the first half, are now as close as half-brothers!

He rushed to the sidelines, echoing the cheers of his own fans!

……

Wenger stood up from the coaching bench, his brow furrowed.

"We can't afford to concede another goal!"

Taking advantage of the moment when Tottenham were celebrating, he quickly made a substitution.

Giroud slowly walked off the field and gave a high-five to Flamini, who had been substituted on.

But how could Tottenham's young team, whose morale is high, give up so easily?

As soon as Arsenal kicked off the game, several Tottenham forwards charged forward like they were on steroids, pressing hard!

Even more aggressive than before the goal!

Flamini, who had just come on as a substitute, hadn't yet caught up with the pace of the game.

The ball was intercepted on the very first touch!

"Arsenal have conceded another goal!"

"Eriksson, push it forward!"

"Kane goes straight for a long-range shot!"

"We've got it!"

"Kane, a world-class goal!"

"Tottenham Hotspur scored two goals in three minutes!"

"They went from trailing to leading in an instant!"

……

The cheers of Tottenham fans instantly filled White Hart Lane.

Kane, who usually doesn't have any flashy celebrations, also performed a knee slide amidst the fervor of the home fans!

Wenger's face turned ashen.

They had just substituted a striker to strengthen their defense, and the score instantly went from leading to trailing?

This has made the situation very tricky.

On the other side, Pochettino suddenly stretched out his arms, turned around, and hugged the members of his coaching staff!

……

Arsenal's defenders looked frustrated.

Going from leading to trailing in just three minutes is a huge blow to morale.

clap clap clap!

Liu Yang clapped his hands and walked towards his own goal.

"Everyone, don't panic, stay calm!"

"Think back to our previous game against Chelsea!"

"Even when we were down a player and trailing, we still managed to come back and win!"

"If we could do it last time, we can do it again!"

"Don't panic!"

"First and foremost, we can't let them score again!"

Liu Yang picked up the ball from the net and jogged slowly toward the center circle.

……

The game restarted after the lap time.

Without Giroud, Liu Yang personally kicked off and passed the ball back to the backfield.

The two sides quickly spread out their formations.

Sanchez and Walcott, the two wingers, moved into the middle, attempting to use their speed to make Tottenham wary of their counter-attacks.

Liu Yang's position began to retreat.

"Tottenham's pressing is very aggressive!"

"Sanchez isn't finding many opportunities in the attacking third!"

Liu Yang stepped forward and received a pass back from Sanchez.

Alibaba and Dell flanked him from both sides!

In my mind, Bergkamp is the image of receiving the ball, touching the ball, linking up play, and passing the ball.

Meanwhile, Hazard, wearing a Chelsea jersey, also lit up.

The moment he received the ball, Liu Yang made a half-turn, trapping Ali behind him.

With a smooth pull, change the direction of the ball!

"Wow, what a beautiful pull-back to get rid of the ball!"

"He dodged Dell's steal!"

Dell missed his target and quickly got up.

Ali, who was behind Liu Yang, was bumped from behind and fell flat on his backside.

He was secretly surprised.

I feel like I've run into a wall!

"Toby's right, this guy's physical strength is really exaggerated..."

……

Liu Yang did not rush to pass the ball forward.

Sanchez and Walcott were closely watched by the "Belgian double gate".

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

Lamela and Eriksen immediately moved to double-team him, and Ramsey stumbled as he passed the ball out.

But Liu Yang immediately made a run after passing the ball, moving in the direction where Ramsey could pass.

Receive the ball, touch the ball, and pass the ball with one foot.

Before Alli could press again, he passed the ball to Flamini, who was unavailable on the other side.

Flamini was pressured again.

Then find Liu Yang again.

Receive the ball, control the ball, protect the ball, get rid of the ball, and pass the ball.

The Tottenham players felt a sense of powerlessness, as if they were punching cotton.

They've just scored two goals and are looking to press their advantage.

As a result, once this kid retreated, their pressing and attacking effectiveness was greatly reduced?

It felt like "the medicine was working, but I was locked out."

……
