I'm 1.9 meters tall and weigh 200 pounds, can I pull the hem?
Chapter 46 A Flash of Inspiration!
At the edge of the stadium.
Wenger, sitting on the bench, calmed down a bit.
"Did you guys notice?"
"The style of play that Liu displayed in the match against Southampton when he was still at Aston Villa."
"A pullback and consolidation!"
"With us down to ten men, Sanchez and Walcott took Liu's original central attacking position, so Liu dropped back to midfield."
"This child has excellent physical attributes and footwork, and his positioning is very intelligent!"
"His support, ball protection, and passing greatly relieved the pressure we were under from the opponent's pressing."
"In the first half he was a pure attacker, but now he's become an organizer and controller!"
Beside Wenger, Cazorla also wore a satisfied expression.
He's already looking forward to collaborating with Liu Yang after recovering from his injury.
However, Wenger is far from being optimistic.
After all, it was their side that was behind and had one less player.
On the other end, Pochettino frowned again.
"This child's retreat is very effective..."
His tactical arrangement was to cut off the connection between the backcourt and Liu Yang's frontcourt.
Now that Liu Yang has retreated, this tactic has naturally become half ineffective.
Although they couldn't stop them from passing the ball to Liu Yang, Arsenal's possession in their own half became much more stable.
However, Arsenal, playing with one less player, were unable to extend their attack into the frontcourt.
Our team is still in the lead...
Thinking of this, Pochettino continued to shout towards the field:
"Don't panic! Maintain the current pressing intensity!"
"They're lagging behind; sooner or later they'll find an opportunity to attack! Beware of their counterattack!"
……
Time passed gradually.
Arsenal couldn't find any attacking opportunities, so Liu Yang had to stay in the backfield the whole time.
When his team has possession, he helps manage the ball; when Tottenham has the ball, he is the first line of defense pressing them.
The Kantor module in my mind kept flashing.
However, even with a one-man advantage, Tottenham couldn't mount any decent attacks.
In the live broadcast room, Coach Zhang provided tactical analysis.
"Tottenham's attacking strategy is to make multiple runs forward and create a sudden numerical advantage during transitions."
"But now, Arsenal has one player sent off with a red card, and their midfield and defense are all huddled back."
"At this point, Tottenham's numerical disadvantage actually makes it harder to score, because when they make a run into the penalty area, there are just too many players."
"When Tottenham can't create that kind of numerical advantage, their weaknesses are exposed."
"In positional warfare, they don't have many ways to break through dense defenses, and they lack the ability to penetrate through the middle, so they can only rely on relatively random methods such as crosses and long-range shots."
"Although Arsenal are behind, their two attacking players, Sanchez and Walcott, are very fast and pose a great threat on the counter-attack."
Zhan Jun expressed his agreement.
"Arsenal are just waiting for a chance to launch a quick counter-attack!"
"Oh? On the sidelines, Wenger is calling on young German player Gnabry to warm up!"
"Gnabry has been in outstanding form for Arsenal since his loan spell ended early, and he has already scored three league goals!"
"In the previous match against Chelsea, Gnabry was also brought on as a substitute with ten men and ultimately scored the winning goal."
"Can he create another miracle this time?"
……
Arsenal certainly cannot be satisfied with just securing their backline.
They still need to score a goal even though they're behind!
So in the 75th minute, Wenger substituted Ramsey with the warmed-up Gnabry during a throw-in.
The chubby little black boy ran onto the field happily.
"Liu!"
"We're fighting side-by-side again!"
"Tottenham is also a London team, let's do another comeback!"
The chubby little guy didn't know why either.
Just like when playing against Tottenham and Chelsea, it felt like I received some kind of magical boost.
On the other side, Pochettino called over Son Heung-min, who was warming up, and whispered something in his ear.
……
Time continued to tick away, second by second.
The young Tottenham team's physical condition is also declining.
Pressing and aggressive play cannot be sustained for an entire match.
As they took the lead, they gradually eased their pressure on Arsenal.
Although the pressure of dribbling the ball in the backcourt was immense, Liu Yang felt that his physical fitness hadn't declined that quickly.
Physical exertion cannot always be judged solely by the distance run.
Aerobic and anaerobic are two different concepts.
Sometimes, a player who runs at a constant pace throughout the entire match covers a larger area than a player who is constantly sprinting and battling on the flanks.
But the latter is clearly much more tiring than the former.
In the second half, my range of movement increased, but as the organizer, I didn't have to sprint at a high intensity like in the first half, nor did I have to constantly fight against several muscular men.
He felt himself catch his breath.
……
82 minutes.
Eriksen's through ball was intercepted by Mertesacker.
Bellerin, facing Kane's pressing, passed the ball forward to Walcott on the wing.
Ali was strolling casually when he saw Liu Yang, who had been beside him and had retreated to the defensive midfield position, suddenly start to move forward!
"not good!"
Ali immediately realized something was wrong and quickly sped up to catch up.
But because he was a step slower, he was already several meters ahead of Liu Yang!
Walcott flicked the falling ball directly to the center.
Liu Yang took control of the ball and took two big steps.
He trapped Dell, who came to cover, to his left rear.
Pochettino was yelling and shouting from the sidelines.
"Stop him! Stop him now!"
……
Dell relentlessly pestered Liu Yang.
With a yellow card on his back, he was hesitant to use his hands, and could only use his shoulders and torso to keep pushing and squeezing.
However, Liu Yang remained as steady as a mountain.
He didn't sprint with the ball at top speed, because even with his strong physique, a collision could easily cause him to lose his balance.
Instead, they drove at a moderate speed, positioned just ahead and to the side of Dell, preventing him from overtaking them.
At the same time, core strength is used to maintain lower body stability and maintain physical resistance.
Dell suffered losses in the competition and became somewhat impatient.
He rammed into it with a sudden burst of force!
This is the opportunity we've been waiting for.
Liu Yang suddenly moved the ball to the right front and began to accelerate with great strides!
Dell exerted his strength but failed to lift the person, and stumbled, almost falling over.
Then a chubby, dark-skinned boy darted past him from his left.
I heard Vertonghen's anxious shouts.
"Mid lane, mid lane is empty!"
……
Walcott is very smart.
Seeing Liu Yang dribble the ball to the right, he began to slow down.
Ross, who was standing next to him, didn't dare to abandon him, so he had no choice but to slow down as well.
Sanchez on the left wing took Walker away, and Alderweireld stayed back to cover.
Vertonghen could only help the out-of-balance Dale by covering for Liu Yang.
However, Gnabry then made a high-speed run from the middle.
He came off the bench and was full of energy, quickly leaving Dale behind.
Vertonghen briefly faced a situation where he had to defend two players against one.
Liu Yang immediately passed the ball to Gnabry, then floored the accelerator and made a diagonal run down the right flank!
Gnabry made a perfectly synchronized pass.
The two players used a one-two pass to get past Vertonghen!
Alderweireld, who was trailing at the back of the defensive line, immediately came to the rescue.
Liu Yang caught up with the ball on the right side of the penalty area, but Alderweireld blocked his left side.
Vertonghen caught up again and took control of the defensive zone behind him.
Should he turn and pass back or cut inside himself? But with Belgium's two full-backs double-teaming him, turning around could easily result in a turnover.
Should they move to the flanks or split up directly? The right side is the only open space, but that means a good counter-attack opportunity will turn into a positional battle.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Yang had made his decision.
Take one more step to the right, it looks like he's going to pass it to Walcott who's positioned himself there.
Then he slammed his heel into the middle!
Alderweireld was taken aback!
Vertonghen was too surprised to even react, because he saw Gnabry, who was sprinting forward, had already left Dier behind and was charging toward the ball!
He made a sharp turn and desperately slid straight towards the middle!
But it was too late.
Gnabry unleashed a powerful shot!
The ball was close to the grass.
He dodged Vertonghen's toe.
He dodged Lori's gloves.
It flew into the bottom left corner of the goal!
3-3!
White Hart Lane fell silent for the third time.
The Tottenham fans looked as if they had three frogs stuck in their throats.
