Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

Chapter 40



The game was a big success, and the team was able to win the game.

Guest commentator Gary Lineker couldn't help but sigh after seeing the data: "I have to say, Manchester City is really tough. They dare to play against Arsenal, and the data is not inferior. If they were better at seizing opportunities, the score might still be even now."

Alan Hansen also nodded: "Manchester City's performance in this half was beyond my expectations. They can play back and forth with Arsenal. This team is really limitless."

Although Yang Luo in the stands was a little disappointed with the score, he was still very positive about the content on the field.

He told Bernstein: "It seems that Van Gaal has put the team together well."

Bernstein nodded: "At least the first half gave people hope."

Arsenal chairman Peter Hillwood on the side couldn't help but admire: "Manchester City played a very good first half. If it's another year or two, Arsenal may not be Manchester City's opponent."

Bernstein was about to say a few polite words, but Yang Luo replied: "Mr. Hillwood, what you said makes sense."

Hillwood was stunned for a moment, but didn't know how to respond.

Bernstein had to smile awkwardly at Hillwood.

After a while, the players of both sides appeared on the field.

After the referee was ready, he blew the whistle to start the second half of the game.

Neither side made any personnel adjustments, but many substitutes had already started warming up off the court.

And Van Gaal's tactics remained unchanged, and Manchester City still maintained a very fast offensive rhythm.

His idea was simple. Manchester City was younger and faster than Arsenal, so he would use a super fast pace to drag them down!

On the Arsenal side, Bergkamp was already a little unable to run, and Wenger was ready to replace him with Wiltord.

This was exactly what Van Gaal wanted. Bergkamp was the lubricant of Arsenal's offense. Without him, Arsenal's offensive threat would be much less.

In the 57th minute, Wiltord replaced Bergkamp during the dead ball.

This French striker was also a well-known warrior. His personal ability was unquestionable, but he did not have the organizational ability of Bergkamp.

After he came on the court, Arsenal's organizational tasks were all handed over to Pires on the left, who became a de facto winger.

Seeing this, Van Gaal immediately decided to use Essien to harass him, leaving him no space to pass more threatening passes.

At the same time, Van Gaal also made a substitution adjustment.

Teacher Tony came on the field, replacing Eto'o!

He was ready to change his attacking style!

After Teacher Tony came on the field, Arsenal's black tower defender Sol Campbell immediately felt the pressure.

Evra on the left also received the latest instructions and began to frequently move forward to add a cross point.

However, Sun Jihai and Van Gaal on the right did not let him move forward, because his main task was to help Essien freeze Pires.

In the 66th minute, Evra moved on the left, and Ronaldinho's pass was also delivered just right.

He made a slight adjustment and kicked the ball directly.

Teacher Tony had the upper hand in the contest with Campbell. He jumped high and headed for the goal!

The ball was too close, and Lehmann did not react at all!

But unfortunately, the ball hit the crossbar heavily and flew high!

Kolo Toure sensitively grabbed the first point and kicked the ball out with a big kick!

Van Gaal on the sidelines held his chin in his hand in frustration. His luck today was really bad.

As the game progressed, both sides were seriously exhausted, and the scene was not as exciting as the first half.

Arsenal tried to control the game, but Van Gaal was very cunning. He immediately arranged Essien and Makelele to strangle the midfield line.

Their abilities are beyond doubt, and they are even comparable to Vieira and Gilberto.

After such a midfield entanglement, the scene was still in a state of chaos and disorder.

And this is exactly what Van Gaal wanted!

In the 75th minute, Manchester City finally seized the opportunity!

This time, Ronaldinho cut inside and took away the right back Lauren, and Evra took the opportunity to move forward.

Ronaldinho noticed his insertion with the corner of his eye, so he shook his ankle lightly and sent the ball to his feet just right!

Evra adjusted slightly, then kicked the ball directly!

Teacher Tony once again seized this opportunity. He jumped high and

A ball bounced!

And this time there was no crossbar to help, Lehmann had no way to deal with this ball!

The ball bounced off the ground and hit the net heavily!

Manchester City fans immediately cheered loudly!

Their team tied the score!

Yang Luo clenched his fists hard and clapped with Bernstein beside him.

Lineker also exclaimed: "This is Arsenal's first goal conceded this season! Manchester City's attack finally paid off!"

Wenger on the sidelines frowned, but he had no good solution now, and could only hope that the players would continue to stimulate their potential.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the game came to the 85th minute.

At this time, both sides were a little cautious. One point was not an unacceptable result for both sides, so they wanted to attack but were a little hesitant.

However, one person didn't think so.

In the 87th minute, he received a straight pass from Vieira and started to accelerate with the ball from the position just past the center circle.

Makelele came to defend, but he just made a sudden move and blocked Makelele behind him!

The French midfielder knew what would happen if he rushed over, so he decisively chose to reach out and pull him!

But his hand only scratched the jersey behind the man, but he couldn't hold him at all!

In just a moment, the man had already rushed out!

Stam saw that the situation was not good, and immediately took a big step forward, ready to use his strong body to fight him.

But the man suddenly looked up and chose to kick a long shot directly!

The football passed like a meteor and went straight to the dead corner of the goal!

Van der Sar was shocked and rushed to save the ball.

But this ball was an absolute dead corner, even if he tried his best, he couldn't stop the ball from entering the net!

2 to 1!

Arsenal once again overtook the score!

The man rushed a few steps excitedly, then slid to the edge of the court!

The huge number 14 behind him seemed to be shining!

Yes, it was Henry, the King of Highbury, who used his personal ability to score a wonderful goal!

And regaining the lead during this period of time almost locked the victory of this game!

Wenger on the sidelines also breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes full of relief, looking at his high-spirited disciple.

Yes, this is the superstar who can change the situation on his own!
