Chapter 192: A stunning pass!



Chapter 192: A stunning pass!

Beep! With the referee's whistle, the game officially begins! Arsenal has the ball.

Aubameyang kicked the ball back to Mkhitaryan.

The fast and continuous passing and cutting are dazzling.

There was a sudden burst of warm applause at the Emirates Stadium. No matter how much Arsenal fans hated Wenger before, they would give him respect at the moment of his departure.

Wenger had a smile on his face on the sidelines, but his heart was not as calm as his expression.

He felt as if all the sounds around him had disappeared, leaving only the stadium, the players, the goal and the football, and everything else no longer mattered.

The beauty of football blossomed in his eyes, and that was what he pursued all his life.

Mourinho and Ferguson sat on the bench, looking at the silver-haired old man next to them, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Wenger once represented the future of Arsenal.

But the past is like smoke. The arrival of the era of money-driven football has shattered Wenger's old ideas. Perhaps their era has ended.

Mourinho felt the burden on his shoulders becoming heavier and turned his eyes to the football field.

Manchester United's formation quickly compressed backwards, giving up the midfield area.

Surprisingly, Arsenal did not continue to penetrate from the middle, and Ramsey moved directly to the right.

After receiving the ball, Bellerin quickly accelerated, and Chu Feng on the side did not give in and followed Bellerin closely.

But he was gradually pulled away.

"Wow, Bellerin's starting speed is too fast!"

"You know, he broke the Arsenal 40m sprint speed record set by Walcott."

"According to the BBC, he even surpassed Bolt's speed in the first 40 meters when he set the world record in 2009, and is currently ranked among the top in the football world!"

But why is he not as famous as Bale?

The reason is that Bellerin's coordination with the ball is very poor, and he is prone to mistakes when dribbling at high speed.

Ashley Young is extremely experienced. He skillfully keeps a distance from Bellerin, seizes the opportunity to step forward to steal the ball, and then passes the ball directly to the front.

Chu Feng stopped chasing after him.

Ramsey was very aware and moved to the right side in advance to fill the position, blocking Chu Feng's way forward.

Chu Feng looked back before receiving the ball, and passed it directly to the middle without stopping.

Since Manchester United's previous central midfielder was Lingard, whose organizational ability was minimal, Chu Feng rarely chose to combine the wing and the center, but instead relied on his own ability to break through.

But things are different today.

Kovacic is not a regular starter in the star-studded Real Madrid, but he is quite competitive in the mediocre Manchester United.

His vertical advancement ability is world-class, but his weaknesses are defense and long-range shooting.

Due to his similar technical characteristics to Pogba, he has played very little recently, so he is somewhat dissatisfied.

At this moment, I am trying hard to prove myself.

Facing the fierce Xhaka, he easily broke through from the right side and then made a long pass to find Chu Feng.

Can’t outrun Bellerin, and can’t outrun Ramsey?

Ramsey tried his best.

Chu Feng still flew past him quickly, took a step forward, and dribbled the ball towards the penalty area.

Xhaka came in from the side.

He has many advantages, such as long shots, vision, long passes and so on.

But there are also fatal flaws.

He is slow in his movements, commits many fouls and makes many fatal mistakes, and is nicknamed "The Little Prince of Eating Cards".

This is most fatal for the defensive midfielder.

Chu Feng's speed did not slow down at all, and his feet stepped over the football one after another.

The center of gravity shook violently!

Like a pendulum that never stops!

Xhaka was completely unable to judge his opponent's intentions and hesitated to kick the ball easily.

Next second.

Chu Feng's body shook suddenly, and his feet moved faster, taking advantage of Zaka's momentary hesitation to pass by!

There were sudden exclamations at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal fans clenched their fists nervously and stared at Koscielny who was frantically rushing towards the football.

The player with the most steals in the Premier League!

In fact, he was a bit of a jerk when he first came to Arsenal.

But after Wenger's coaching, he played better and better, and now he has even become the captain of Arsenal.

Since he was easily passed by Chu Feng before, he did not fall to the ground and make a tackle easily. Instead, he blocked most of the shooting routes and waited for Chu Feng to make the first move.

Chu Feng saw Lukaku and decisively broke through along the outside line.

When the ball was about to go out of bounds, he fell to the ground and passed the ball, which brushed past Koscielny's toes!

"Lukaku! Shoot the ball!"

"Forehead!"

"The quality of this shot was too low, the ball went straight into Cech's arms. Is Lukaku going to become the spokesperson for happy football?"

Zhan Jun couldn't help but complain.

To put it a little exaggeratedly, even an old grandmother could score this goal.

Zhang Lu smiled and said: "Although Manchester United's attack was not effective, the difference in strength between the two teams was fully reflected. Manchester United's attack efficiency was higher."

After a while, he sighed again: "Arsenal is nearing the end of the season and the coach is about to leave. I feel that everyone wants to show their talents and ensure their starting position next season, so they play a bit scattered."

Wenger sighed silently on the sidelines.

In fact, he had the same feeling. Arsenal's previous winning streak was more like a last gasp.

Now facing Manchester United, which is in its prime, they were beaten back to their original form.

But that doesn't mean Arsenal has no chance. Manchester United just finished the Champions League two days ago and their form is definitely not back to its best.

Mourinho next door frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Lukaku's performance.

Ferguson patted Mourinho on the shoulder and said, "They have done a good job. Don't be too demanding. To be honest, I really envy you. When I was coaching Manchester United, I also met an excellent Chinese player, but unfortunately he returned home due to injury."

"If it weren't for those injuries, maybe he could have become a hero for Manchester United."

At this point, Ferguson's reminiscing gaze faded, and he looked at Chu Feng who was running tirelessly on the field, "You have been putting too much pressure on him recently. I wanted to talk about this problem before."

"Mainly due to Manchester United's current situation, there is really no replacement player if Martial is not sold to Paris Saint-Germain"

Mourinho shrugged helplessly when he heard this.

The scene switches to the green field.

Pogba made a long pass near the midfield and the ball quickly fell to the right.

Rashford stopped and passed the ball, and was about to break through from the side.

But Monreal didn't give him a chance.

He judged the landing point of the football in advance, and the moment Rashford stopped the ball, he made an accurate tackle to knock the ball out of bounds.

Rashford climbed up from the grass, suddenly feeling a little lost.

He was at the most ambitious age and had already secured the position of left winger, but he did not expect Chu Feng to emerge as a dark horse.

Although the two have a good relationship, he doesn't want to always be a substitute or play as a right winger, which he doesn't like.

Even if he gave up all entertainment activities, he still couldn't catch up with Chu Feng's growth rate.

Today I felt a long-lost sense of powerlessness.

In this case, I might as well choose to leave Manchester United and go to a team where I can play games, at least I won’t waste my youth.

As for the center?

In fact, he quite likes this position, but Mourinho once talked to him and said that he was not suitable to be Manchester United's No. 9 position.

Because although he can create threats, he cannot break through dense defenses.

Hearing the voices of his teammates, he came back to his senses and continued to participate in the attack.

In the next period of time.

Manchester United also created several threats, but Arsenal were lucky enough to hit the crossbar and the goal post to save the day.

Perhaps God wanted Wenger's 60th match with Manchester United to end with a decent score.

The last stage of injury time in the first half.

Chu Feng suddenly stopped, shook off Bellerin, and passed the ball to the center of the penalty area with his right foot.

Lukaku and Koscielny jumped high to compete for the header.

The former grabbed the first point and headed the ball, but the quality of the header was not high due to interference and flew over the crossbar and out of the bottom line.

Beep-beep! The referee blew the whistle immediately.

There was a burst of warm applause at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal fans were very happy with the score.

After all, Manchester United is very different from previous years. Not only did they defeat the Premier League BIG6 consecutively, but they also topped the standings.

But surprisingly, Manchester United fans were not too depressed.

They are facing a tight schedule of three games in a week, and if they can get a draw today with less consumption.

Next up they will face Brighton and Watford. With a 6-point lead over Manchester City, they only need to win one more game to win the Premier League title.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Inside the visiting team's locker room.

Mourinho's expression was slightly gloomy. "I am very dissatisfied with your performance."

"Maybe you think it's good to take a point away from the Emirates Stadium, and it won't affect the ownership of the league championship, and it may even be beneficial to the upcoming Champions League."

"But if you have this mentality?"

"It doesn't matter if we lose to Brighton next time, right? As long as we win the last game!"

Mourinho looked around and said word by word: "Think about how Manchester United lost the league title! If you don't want to live in regret, give it your all."

The Manchester United players remained silent.

In fact, as professional players, they only need to do their job well and try their best to win the game.

As for those off-field factors, just leave them to the coaching staff to consider.

Chu Feng kept rubbing his calf muscles.

The last thing he had to worry about was psychological problems, because his experiences before his rebirth were hidden deep in his heart, alerting him every moment.

His desire for victory, honor and the future is no less than anyone else.

Home team locker room.

As usual, Wenger gave his players and himself some time to calm down, and only started to review the game a few minutes later.

"We did a good job defensively in the first half, maybe we should have done that earlier."

“It also proves that change is not a bad thing.”

"So after I leave, you have to get used to changes and adapt to the tactics of the new head coach."

Cech took off his black tank cap, as if to mourn for Wenger and himself.

After all, he is already 36 years old, how long can he play? Maybe he will retire in the next two years and switch to ice hockey.

Mkhitaryan felt a little regretful. The main reason he came to Arsenal was Wenger. The other side's concept of beautiful football deeply attracted him.

As a result, Wenger was fired by Arsenal less than three months after arriving at the club.

Who knows if the new head coach will reuse him.

If I had known this would happen, I would have stayed at Manchester United and maybe I could have won a league championship.

Aubameyang's eyes were dark and unclear, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The fifteen-minute break passed quickly and players from both sides returned to the field.

Following the referee's whistle.

Manchester United quickly moved forward after the kick-off.

The positions of Matic, Pogba and Kovacic quickly changed from a right triangle to an inverted triangle, increasing their control over the midfield.

The wide midfielder made a deep run forward, forcing the Arsenal full-back to follow up and defend, so he was unable to provide support to the midfield.

Ramsey and Xhaka, as the double defensive midfielder, feel increasing pressure.

In desperation.

The players in the frontcourt could only retreat to participate in defense, but this resulted in insufficient pressure on the offensive end, allowing Manchester United's overall formation to move forward, eventually forming a vicious circle.

59th minute of the game.

"Pogba! Beautiful, he used the Marseille turn to get past Iwobi!"

"A wall pass with Kovacic! Breaking through Arsenal's midfield!"

“What will happen next?”

"It was a bit sticky, Rashford on the right ran out of space."

Zhan Jun's tone was slightly dissatisfied.

Xhaka took the opportunity to rush forward and confront the opponent closely.

He is the player with the most red and yellow cards in Arsenal. The fundamental reason is his lack of defensive ability. After all, his slow foot will naturally not touch the ball, but will directly hit the player's body.

All that was heard was a wail from Pogba, and then he fell directly to the ground.

The referee was about to stop the game when he noticed the ball rolling towards Kovacic.

So he raised his hand to signal the game to continue.

For professional players, they will not stop until they hear the whistle.

"Mateo!"

Kovacic heard the familiar voice and looked over subconsciously.

Since he came to Manchester United, he has been training with Chu Feng frequently and they have become more and more in tune with each other.

Ramsey in the middle and Bellerin on the side. Kovacic instantly saw the passing route in his mind, and he tilted his body slightly and pushed the arch of his foot hard.

"Snap! " With a crisp sound.

The football was like a sharp scalpel, cutting through Arsenal's defense.

The camera moves rapidly.

The back of Manchester United's No. 7 appears in the center of the screen.

He seemed to have predicted the trajectory of the ball early on, not only shaking off Bellerin's tight defense, but also finding one of the few loopholes in Arsenal.

Only Koscielny reacted.

He quickly rushed to the end of the football's trajectory, trying to intercept it halfway.

He even thought about how to counterattack after stealing the ball.

Tens of thousands of fans at the Emirates Stadium stared at the football.

After countless times of pursuing perfect football training, Chu Feng had already transformed Bergkamp's way of thinking into his own knowledge and integrated it into his muscle memory.

There is no chance of stopping the ball with conventional means, he must take an unconventional approach!

His speed increased again, his slightly longer black hair danced in the wind, shedding crystal clear beads of sweat.

Koscielny saw that the distance was about the same.

He threw his whole body out and tackled the football madly.

This was the fastest and most accurate tackle of his career!

No one can get through!

But then he saw an unbelievable scene.

Chu Feng's lightning speed suddenly slowed down, his right foot lightly touched the ball, but he moved to the left!

Every step was filled with grace and coordination.

Show infinite tension in the finite!

Like flowing water, he passed Koscielny who was coming towards him.

A stunning pass and dribble!

Cech did not expect Chu Feng to come over, and his attack was a beat slow.

Chu Feng took advantage of this time, ran behind the ball in an arc, and shot into the far corner with ease.

Bang! Amid countless nervous gazes.

The football came out, brushed past Cech's fingertips and crossed the goal line.

0-1!
