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

In the command area, Wenger had already called up midfielders and defenders such as Flamini, Chambers, and Gibbs to warm up.

He certainly noticed the team's lack of midfield toughness.

On the pitch, Villa's players had already begun to retreat and defend.

Cech stood on the goal line, trying to buy a little time before taking the goal kick.

Mertesacker was communicating with Kirkland, who had been taken advantage of by Liu Yang and looked somewhat bewildered.

"As long as they give the ball to Liu Yang, you need to find a way to stop him, at least don't let him easily slide over..."

"Villa won't get many counter-attack opportunities. If all else fails, just pull or drag him. It's a foul, you haven't received a card yet this game..."

Kirkland nodded repeatedly as he listened.

Without Cazorla as his external brain, his performance has indeed declined in the last few games.

……

The game continues.

The game has once again come under Arsenal's control.

In the 80th minute, Arsenal won a corner kick.

Liu Yang returned to the penalty area to defend, and as the tallest player on the team, he was once again matched up against Mertesacker.

"Good lad," Mertesacker patted him on the back in a friendly manner, "Good offense, now let me see your defense..."

Liu Yang ignored Mertesacker.

That old guy is shrewd. He keeps talking calmly and casually, but his eyes are glued to the corner flag area, just to distract the defender.

Rosicky lobbed the corner kick into the penalty area.

Liu Yang and Mertesacker, locked in a fierce struggle, failed to head the ball.

Guzan reached out with his hand, but failed to catch the ball!

The ball changed direction in the air and flew towards the unmarked Villa defensive midfielder, Guy!

The African boy, who is only 1.74 meters tall, never expected that he would be the first to reach the top among a group of tall people!

He instinctively headed the ball, and surprisingly, he headed it all the way to the center of the penalty area!

Villa's penalty area descended into chaos!

Mertesacker tried to get back on defense, but Liu Yang blocked his path!

He glanced to the side instinctively.

The chemistry between the two was undeniable; Koscielny, who was further away from the ball, immediately ran back a few steps, ready to chase after it at any moment.

Arsenal have Monreal and Coquelin in the backfield to defend, while Bellerin and Chamberlain are ready to track back outside the penalty area.

With Koscielny added, they should be able to handle Villa's counter-attacks.

……

In the chaotic penalty area, Mertesacker's sidekick had somehow become Villa's tall striker, Gasteed.

The two men got tangled up and headed the ball in an upward arc.

Ramsey and Jordan Ayew both ran towards the ball's landing point.

boom!

The two collided!

The ball was pushed into a strange arc by the two colliding players.

It drifted leisurely towards the edge of the restricted area.

Liu Yang and Koscielny ran towards the ball's landing point at the same time!

Inside the penalty area, both Ramsey and Ayew fell to the ground.

Wenger and Gard simultaneously spread their hands and complained to the referee!

The referee ignored the call, ruling that neither side had committed a foul, and the game continued.

……

Liu Yang reached the ball's landing point a step faster than Koscielny.

But it was only slightly faster.

As Liu Yang stretched out his leg to control the ball, Koscielny had already moved to his right.

Koscielny's thinking is very clear.

Villa's attacking line, with Ayew and Gasteed both entangled in their own penalty area, and the only players capable of launching counter-attacks besides Liu Yang were Grealish, who was marked by Bellerin.

Two against five.

Even if I can't get the ball, I can still block Liu Yang and slow him down.

If all else fails, knock him down or pull him back.

They haven't even crossed the halfway line yet; at most, it'll only be a yellow card.

At this moment, Koscielny noticed that Liu Yang's ball control seemed to be inadequate.

When the ball hit the ground, it bounced forward slightly.

Liu Yang extended his right leg for the second time.

Is it to accelerate by dribbling the ball?

Koscielny is ready to engage and extend his leg to disrupt.

Then, something he never expected happened.

Liu Yang's outstretched right foot did not attempt to dribble the ball forward.

Instead, he made an unconventional move... stepping on the ball!

The ball, which had bounced forward, was stomped on and bounced back to the ground.

Then... bounced to the left, behind Koscielny!

Koscielny couldn't stop his forward momentum, but he instinctively wanted to stretch out his leg to intercept.

As a result, his left leg was already forward, but his right leg was still trying to reach the ball backward!

Out of reach.

Koscielny fell to the ground in a clumsy split!

……

At the edge of the stadium.

Wenger tried to control himself and not let his surprise show on his face.

The beautiful ball control, the footwork, and the extremely fast transition speed after the first touch reminded him of a former beloved student.

That tall Dutchman with superb footwork skills.

Bergkamp!

However, although the child's skills are good, they have not yet reached the pinnacle of elegance of the "Ice Prince".

However, he was taller and much more muscular than Bergkamp, ​​who was 1.88 meters tall.

And there's even more terrifying speed and explosive power!

A balance of strength and gentleness.

These are the only adjectives Wenger can think of.

He tried his best to keep his expression on his face.

I just wanted to put my hands in the pockets of my down jacket.

One, two, three.

They didn't fit in.

……

With no obstacles in sight, Liu Yang flicked the ball and began to accelerate vertically!

Mertesacker's roar came from behind.

"...Stop him! No matter what, don't let him accelerate!"

Bellerin was the fastest to chase back, but Grealish's forward run on the left brought him to the wing, clearing enough space for Liu Yang.

There were only Kirkland and Monreal in front of him!

Kirkland was eaten by Liu Yang just a few minutes ago.

Faced with this imposing behemoth, one can't help but feel a little uncertain.

At this point, his defensive positioning was not good enough.

They mainly rely on physical fitness and speed to intercept.

But... do we really want to compete with this monster in terms of physical strength?

Kirkland, however, gritted his teeth and went to meet him.

Liu Yang, without any hesitation, executed a crossover and a powerful dunk.

I want to eat it raw again!

Why should I?

They're still trying to pull some tricks, but they're not even going to put on an act in front of me anymore, are they?

Kirkland felt a nameless anger rising within him.

He caught up with Liu Yang, who was carrying the ball.

Pulling and squeezing.

Trying to keep him in the game by fouling him!

Anyway, Monreal is behind him, and he's not the last defender.

But he realized he had overestimated his physical abilities.

Or... underestimated the physical abilities of this big guy.

Liu Yang was completely unaffected; on the contrary, he was the one who was bounced away!

In desperation, Kirkland made a last-ditch effort to grab Liu Yang's jersey.

Didn't catch it!

Kirkland was carried around once before falling to the ground!

……

The last man in the defensive line, Monreal.

During his time at Malaga, he and Cazorla, who played left midfield, formed a golden partnership on the left flank.

After arriving at Arsenal, they began working together again.

Physical fitness is not outstanding; he compensates through awareness.

But he couldn't withstand the unreasonable physical impact from Liu Yang.

He was directly waded through!

Liu Yang dribbled the ball into the penalty area!

The home fans at Villa Park held their breath.

Cech has chosen to strike!

Bellerin abandoned Grealish on the left wing and charged towards this side with a desperate gamble!

In his mind, the red and white phantom of number 10 dimmed, while the black and white number 9, which had been barely noticeable, lit up again.

Liu Yang swung his right leg high!

boom!

The ball flew past Cech's armpit at an extremely high speed!

Lift the net high!

1-2!
