Chapter XXXVIII

United's first-half attack was fruitless, with Cech saving a couple of must-have chances.

It wasn't just Arsene Wenger who thought Manchester United's morale was going to plummet in the second half, in fact most people thought so.

The hanging hearts of the Arsenal fans in the stands were also put back in their stomachs, and they waved flags and sang happily.

The home team led 2-0 and did not concede a goal for 45 minutes under the onslaught of the opponent. In the second half, Manchester United must have been weak.

Arsenal fans thought excitedly.

As for Manchester United fans, the fans of the Manchester United Expeditionary Force at the Emirates Stadium are all frowning.

In football, momentum is always one and the other, and no team can maintain the same attacking momentum as Manchester United did in the second half of the first half. The match between Manchester United and Arsenal is also a strong conversation, how can Arsenal be suppressed by Manchester United for the whole game?

It's dangerous for United to be unable to score when they're at their best.

Momentum is not static, it's like a parabola, and in everyone's opinion, Manchester United's momentum has reached its peak in the first half.

And based on the trajectory of the parabola, it is easy to predict that Manchester United's momentum must be starting to fall.

'Manchester United were in danger at the moment, they didn't pull a goal back in the first half and Arsenal managed to take a two-goal lead back to half-time. It looks like Manchester United's drop of points will start in this round. Andy Gray said.

Before the game, the Manchester United fans, who were still very happy to sing, frowned, and the sound on the pitch was completely dominated by the Arsenal fans.

The banter of the winners against the losers is an integral part of the grandstand culture. Although the game is not over yet, many Arsenal fans are eager to vent their anger at Manchester United, who have not won at home for more than five years.

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney was the first to be the target of humiliation from Arsenal fans. Although Rooney did not play, but for the sake of him scoring so many goals against Arsenal, Arsenal fans naturally listed Rooney as the number one "humiliating war criminal".

"Rooney, you are fat Shrek", this is almost the standard singing voice used by other teams in the Premier League to ridicule Rooney, Shrek's old tune, coupled with the chorus of fans, is actually quite imposing.

In fact, in the first half of the game, it was almost inevitable that the Manchester United players on the pitch would be teased by the home team's fans in song.

For example, after Li Qingshan's shot was cleared by Cech, the Arsenal fans improvised a song, and they sang: "You're just a s**t Danny elbeck." (You're a weakened version of Welbeck!) ）

Welbeck, who was once seen as the future of the Red Devils, did not make a name for himself at Manchester United after all, he was bought by Arsenal, and at the moment Hebeck is sitting on the bench, and I don't know whether his expression at this time is going to cry or laugh........

Of course, at Arsenal's home turf, the Black Spurs project is essential.

"If you hate Tottenham, stand up!"

The audience immediately stood up..........

The relieved Arsenal fans enjoyed their collective performances in the stands.

But is Manchester United really as expected at this moment, with players depressed and team morale collapsing?

The answer, of course, is no.

Before Ancelotti entered the locker room, he had the privilege of hearing Li Qingshan's impassioned speech in the locker room.

This made Ancelotti see another side of Li Qingshan.

"Sometimes he's so Chinese, and sometimes he's so Chinese." Ancelotti said to Giggs next to him.

Giggs nodded, he actually didn't know much about Li Qingshan, but during this time, he slowly fell in love with this Chinese guy.

"That's right, Cech is brave! But he wasn't a god after all! Li Qingshan clenched his fists and said, "We have to raise our heads!" It shouldn't be us who should really be frustrated, just look at their embarrassment in the first half, can you imagine! ”

'In the first half we could have done it, then in the second half we could have made them even more embarrassed.'

"Listen, listen! This game is not over yet!! We're going to fight for another 45 minutes and we're going to keep them pressed until we score, until we equalize, until we get ahead!! Victory will be ours in the end!! ”

"Come on!!"

Li Qingshan's English accent still has a bit of a Manchester accent, if you don't look at his face, you would think that the person speaking in the dressing room at the moment is a native of Manchester.

When it was time to score, the top scorer stepped up to boost the morale of the team, which undoubtedly reinvigorated the confidence of the rest of United's players.

In fact, Li Qingshan is not a professional orator, but based on his strength, the players are generally willing to trust him.

Ancelotti breathed a sigh of relief. All of his morale-boosting preparations before entering the locker room looked like they could be left untouched.

…….

When the players from both sides appeared on the pitch in the second half, the Arsenal players walked out of the tunnel talking and laughing, while the Manchester United players came out with a frown.

It seemed to be in line with expectations, and the failure to equalise looked to be having an impact on United's morale.

But the United players frowned not because they were anxious, but because they were holding back their energy at the moment.

Isn't Cech very good at save, then we'll have to see how many you can save!

……….

Arsenal kicked off first in the second half.

When the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, Theo Walcourt passed the ball to Mesut Ozil. Manchester United's players pounced on them like hungry tigers.

In the end, Arsenal passed the ball all the way back to the feet of Cech, and under the pressure of Li Qingshan, Cech had no other passing options, he could only move forward with a big foot.

When the ball was in the air, United had a clear advantage.

Cech's big ball was denied by Fellaini in midfield. United were quick to get the ball back after the break.

Fellaini then protected the ball and passed it back to Hummels.

Hummels then distributed the ball to Sandro on the wing. Sandro didn't risk his choice against Ramsey either, but instead passed to Herrera in the middle.

Herrera is passing the ball to Di Maria. Di Maria drove forward to the edge of the box and pushed the ball wide after attracting the defence of opposition defender Bellerin.

Sandro got space for a cross from the edge and he slotted the ball into the box with his left foot. Li Qingshan, who was in the penalty area, jumped high to head the ball. It's a pity that it's a little higher.

At the start of the second half, United showed their attacking prowess.

Carlo Ancelotti applauded his player's performance from the sidelines. Arsene Wenger, on the other hand, smelled a hint of danger.

Manchester United's attacking organisation is still in order, and there is no hint of anxiety on the part of United's players.

When United cut off Arsenal again, Arsene Wenger felt a growing sense of danger.

When he saw Juan Mata suddenly move towards the middle with his left foot, Wenger's back went cold. As an experienced manager, he was able to feel some of the danger.

The break interrupted United's attacking momentum, but on the other hand, wasn't it a restructuring of Arsenal's defensive mentality?

"Watch out for the defensive !! in the middle"

As soon as Juan Mata headed down the middle, Arsene Wenger immediately shouted anxiously from the sidelines.

But Arsene Wenger's voice was drowned out by the cacophony of tens of thousands of fans in the stadium, and the players on the pitch could not hear it.

In fact, even if they heard, the Arsenal players may not be able to react much.

As soon as Mata walked to the middle of the road, Li Qingshan immediately leaned over to meet him.

Corcoran came up and prepared to intercept Mata.

Mata did not entangle with Corcoran, who had just rushed over and could not secure his position, Mata stuffed the ball at the feet of Li Qingshan in the penalty area, and then continued to walk in the direction of the middle.

Li Qingshan did not stop the ball, he was now facing away from the goal, so he directly knocked the ball into the middle and made a wall for Mata.

Corcoran wanted to turn and keep up with Mata, but when he turned around, Mata had already passed the ball to Herrera on the other side and continued to charge into the box.

Herrera didn't stop the ball either, he just tucked the ball forward, and Di Maria was already activated when he stuffed the ball, leaving the defender behind.

Bellerin was in hot pursuit, his speed was fast enough to catch Di Maria, but by the time he arrived, Di Maria had already crossed the ball straight into the box.

Di Maria's cross ball was just past Gabriel's outstretched kick at the front post.

In the penalty area, Mata is in the middle and Li Qingshan is at the back point!

Double ghost knock on the door!

Petr Cech is highly focused.

When Di Maria passed the ball, he judged that it was too risky for him to go directly to the ball, Di Maria's horizontal pass was very fast, and it also had an outward arc, in case he didn't pounce, it was directly giving the opponent a chance to hit the empty goal.

Petr Cech had a lot of confidence in the ball today, he didn't want to risk Di Maria's cross, he stayed on the goal-line, he was betting on his red-hot form on the goal line today!

Mata falls to the ground and shoots!

Petr Cech spread his arms and legs down to expand his defence as much as he could.

Mata's outstretched foot was about to touch the ball, but the ball was so fast that Mata didn't expect him to touch the ball!

Cech didn't have time to be surprised, he hurriedly adjusted his posture and prepared to defend Li Qingshan, who was at the back point.

Li Qingshan was dragged by Mertesacker, and his body had already tilted over, but he still relied on the inertia of rushing forward and stretched out his legs.

The ball was blocked by his toe and flew towards the goal.

Cech had already pounced, the tips of his fingers flicking.

Pounced!

Cech's heart is overjoyed!

Today's state is really invincible!

Li Qingshan had lost his center of gravity, he was pulled by Mertesak, and he had already fallen backwards with his whole body tilted.

In the moment of his collapse, he saw the ball being broadcast by the tip of Petr's finger.

A wave of admiration suddenly welled up in his heart. The opposing goalkeeper is really too strong.

But at the same time, Li Qingshan also emerged at the same time with the pride of his opponent.

You're really good, but, do you think that's the end of it!

I'm not going to throw in the towel!

Li Qingshan clenched his teeth, and the green tendons in his neck burst out.

With the strength of the waist and abdomen that he snatched, his body, which was almost about to fall, was driven by the waist and abdominal muscles, and made a carp beating action out of thin air.

Although it didn't allow him to get back on his feet, the movement slowed him down slightly.

Seizing this momentary pause, Li Qingshan continued to stretch his right foot forward, and the instep of his right foot was straight.

At this moment, how Li Qingshan wished that he was a rubber person, and his hands and feet could be retracted like rubber.

But he wasn't, he could only kick the falling soccer ball as far as he could.

Time has been a long time in this moment.

Whether it is Cech who is still gliding forward on the ground, or Mata who has fallen to the ground, or Mertesacker who is still on Li Qingshan's shoulder. At this time, the focus of attention was on Li Qingshan's stretched toes and the falling football.

Finally, perhaps in a fraction of a second, the football hit Li Qingshan's toes and bounced again.

Petr Cech's glasses were fixed on the bouncing football, he was still on the grass, the inertia of the save had caused his body to slide uncontrollably to the side, and he could only stick out his feet in an attempt to make a final effort.

But this time, he couldn't touch the ball.

The ball bounced back to the direction of the goal after hitting Li Qingshan's toes, forming a parabola thrown towards the goal.

The parabola was at its highest point and crossed Cech's outstretched foot. Then he fell towards the goal.

Outside the penalty line, Herrera, Fellaini, Kramer and others have already raised their hands in the air, ready to celebrate the goal.

Gabriel rushed up, but it was too late, and he rushed into the goal, but couldn't save on the final goalline.

The ball stubbornly bounced inside the Arsenal goal and finally came to a halt on the turf.

But soon it was embraced by Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan, who was roaring, clenched his fists and ran towards the middle circle with the money.

He didn't want to lose.

He will not throw in the towel.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!”

"The ball went in!! Li Qingshan!! Li Qingshan!! Manchester United's top scorer, he helped United pull a goal back!! He scored a goal at the start of the second half!! ”

'Cech has done everything he has done, but this time!! This time, the winner was Li Qingshan!! ”

'It may have been unfair to the defenders, and although Cech saved a number of shots from Li Qingshan in the first half, Li Qingshan really only needed to succeed once!!!

On the sidelines, United's bench was jubilant, with many players rushing out of the bench, waving towels and yelling in celebration.

And the Manchester United players on the field are running towards their own half with their arms raised!

They pulled one back, but they had to score another goal to equalise and then another goal to take the lead!!

Time must not be wasted celebrating a goal!

We're not going to throw in the towel!

Never!
