Chapter 190

Biglia's long-range shot made all the San Siro fans stand up and look forward to it, because everyone could see that the opposing goalkeeper was positioned too far forward.

"Oh dear, Lei Ming's positioning seems a bit too far forward. The opposing player, Biglia, looks like he's going to take a long-range shot. I wonder if Lei Ming can stop it?"

"He moved. We saw that the moment Biglia shot, Lei Ming seemed to know what kind of attack the opponent would take, and he started running back."

"There's enough time! This speed is definitely enough!!!"

At this moment, countless TV presenters were even more nervous than Arsenal's manager.

On the other hand, Professor Wenger on the sidelines showed no concern whatsoever when faced with this long-range, stealthy shot, because he trusted all of Lei Ming's decisions.

He believed that the steady Lei Ming would not have gone to such a prominent position for no reason; he must know what he was doing.

Just as Wenger had guessed, Lei Ming had indeed been so bored that he wanted to lure the opponent into taking a long-range shot. Now that the opportunity had come, he naturally started moving quickly to chase back, intending to show off his skills.

We can't always let the opponent's goalkeeper do the show. We're goalkeepers too, we need to warm up first!

Soon, the expectant AC Milan fans saw that the goalkeeper easily caught Biglia's premeditated long-range shot by quickly retreating, leaving everyone greatly disappointed.

They all realized too late that Arsenal's goalkeeper had been entrapping them the whole time; he had deliberately left such a wide-open goal for them to see, otherwise how could he explain his timely retreat?

Many people could see clearly that the goalkeeper started his run the moment Biglia was about to kick the ball; he had planned it all along!

Lei Ming, holding the ball, chuckled as he touched it. He had indeed wanted to try his hand at entrapment, but he hadn't expected to actually succeed.

After casually passing the ball to Ramsey, who was not far away, the team launched another attack.

However, after this adjustment, Arsenal's attacking tactics have clearly changed, and they have significantly increased their long-range shooting when facing a tight defense.

It was precisely this change that gave Arsenal, who had been unable to break through for so long, a turning point.

In the 35th minute of the match, Mkhitaryan, who has been in excellent form recently, continued his hot streak. After receiving a pass from Lacazette, he unleashed a powerful long-range shot from the left side of the penalty area.

This long-range shot caught Donnarumma off guard and resulted in a goal.

Shortly after the goal, seeing their attack was working, Arsenal launched another relentless barrage of long-range shots against AC Milan, and their attempts found success again before the end of the first half.

This time, it was Ramsey who scored, his long-range shot that went straight into the top corner once again catching Donnarumma off guard.

In the second half, the two teams switched sides and started to play. AC Milan tried to take the initiative to attack at the beginning, but after almost being caught on the counter-attack, they retreated to their defense again. After that, the San Siro became Arsenal's stage.

Ultimately, after the final whistle, AC Milan could only suffer a heartbreaking defeat, conceding three goals and ending the match prematurely. They felt deeply ashamed in front of their loyal fans.

Donnarumma felt helpless. It wasn't that he performed poorly, but rather that the opponent had just too many shots on goal. Compared to the opponent's goalkeeper's leisurely pace, he was simply too busy.

After defeating AC Milan away from home, Wenger did not rush to leave with the players this time. Instead, they rested well at a nearby hotel that had been booked in advance, and only returned home the next day after having a good meal.

During this period, due to the frequent matches, he was well aware that the players were gritting their teeth and persevering through the games. It was rare that they had four days of rest after this match, so he generously gave the players half a day off.

Milan, as a fashion capital, is actually a great place to bring your girlfriend to shop. Some guys are motivated to spend money because their girlfriends are there to support them at away games.

However, since he didn't bring his girlfriend, Lei Ming genuinely played cards with a few other guys in the same boat to strengthen their bond.

Lei Ming really didn't put much effort into playing poker, and as a result, he ended up having more than ten pieces of paper stuck to his face as punishment, which caused many people to burst into laughter. This scene was also captured by the club's recorder.

As a potential Premier League champion this season, the club's photographers are well aware of their task: to capture as many interesting moments of the players' daily lives as possible, so that they won't lack good material for promotional purposes.

What's interesting is that, facing their own team's new captain, they all know very well that many people are eager to see what kind of person this young captain is in real life.

Lei Ming did not refuse the club's request to film a documentary. As usual, they would not ask him to do anything special; it was just a record of what he usually did.

The enjoyable half-day passed quickly, and the photographer followed the players onto the private jet back to London, continuing to capture photos of the players' condition throughout the journey.

After a long journey, the plane slowly landed at London Airport, where many fans were already spontaneously waiting for Arsenal's victorious return.

Especially when the thunderclap sounded, some of the fans who were there to greet them shouted even louder.

......

Over the next few days, the entire Arsenal team prepared for the FA Cup quarter-final.

In contrast to the lack of emphasis placed on the FA Cup by the other Premier League teams, Arsenal, especially Wenger himself, takes this small cup competition very seriously.

With the league nearing its end, he doesn't want to give up on any match that offers a chance to win the title, especially since the FA Cup is a trophy Arsenal is expected to win every year.

Wenger doesn't know how much longer he can manage, but he knows he must win as many trophies as possible in the limited time he has left, because this could very well be his last dance. Given Arsenal's exceptional performance this year, many of their players will surely be attracted to big clubs, and it's hard to say what the team will be like then.
