Chapter 96 Unexpected results
Chapter 96 Unexpected results
The outcome of the match was somewhat unexpected for Li Yanqing.
He didn't expect Quinn to actually find a way to break the deadlock, nor did he expect Giroud to execute such a spectacular bicycle kick.
This goal can't be blamed on Joe Hart; he's made several incredible saves in this game.
The players gave their all, maintaining the draw for nearly eighty minutes and even launching some impressive attacks.
"Substitute!"
Li Yanqing is preparing to use his last substitution.
"Ogradi! Warm up, get ready to substitute Miller!"
Ogladi himself was somewhat surprised to see the head coach waving at him.
He originally thought he wouldn't have a chance to play in this game, since it would be difficult for a tall center forward to help the team score goals in this environment.
"When you come on the field, you should push into the opponent's defense."
"Don't think about scoring goals, your job is just to draw the opponent's defenders away."
"Just pull any defender away from him!"
"Create opportunities for Quinn and Jamie, and try to avoid going into extra time or penalties!"
He brought on his last striker in the hopes of ending the game as quickly as possible.
Although the opponent is older and going into overtime might be more advantageous, the opponent still has two substitutions available, so he doesn't dare to pin his hopes on physical strength.
Not to mention penalties, Cech is a penalty-saving expert!
Based on his past performance, Li Yanqing felt that he should be a "master-level point-scoring expert," but his skills had been downgraded due to his advanced age and declining performance.
In the 85th minute, Ogradi finally came on, but Professor Wenger also played his second card.
Mkhitaryan replaced young player Iwobi, who had been performing poorly throughout the match.
Name: Mkhitaryan
Age: 28 years old.
Status: Good.
Fatigue level: 34%.
Probability of injury: 18%.
Keywords: [Short passing combination], [Powerful striker], [Master-level through ball], [Midfield commander].
This player first rose to fame at Borussia Dortmund, and previously worked with Lee Yeon-cheong at Manchester United, but was soon swapped with Sanchez to Arsenal.
Aside from defensive midfield, he can play in almost any position in the attacking third.
Li Yanqing was well aware of his abilities, and bringing him on at this time would definitely pose a significant threat.
He was still a little worried when he saw the players running onto the field, because Arsenal had not yet gone all out.
Sitting on the sidelines were a host of top players, including Chamberlain, Lucas, and Welbeck.
As for myself, I've already played all my cards.
Li Yanqing's expression was somewhat solemn, which Wenger, who was also standing on the sidelines, noticed.
He quite admired the young head coach.
They have nurtured a number of outstanding young players such as Quinn, Enzo, and Murphy, and have also achieved good results in the Championship.
He has the same style he had back then.
However, they still suffered from a lack of experience.
He did not make two substitutions in a row because the last spot was reserved for a possible overtime game.
Now it seems that this worry was a bit unnecessary.
The idea of ending the game within ninety minutes is good, but the gap in their strength is too big. In his opinion, it would be better to drag it into extra time or even a penalty shootout.
Overall, for a Championship team to force them to field their full starting lineup is a remarkable achievement.
The game continues.
The substitutions had an immediate effect, uh... I'm referring to Arsenal.
After Miller left the field, there was even less anyone to contain Walcott, and Sun Yan also struggled to contain Mkhitaryan.
Their defense, which they had barely managed to hold up, was easily torn apart by their opponents.
Bradford and Turner acted like firefighters, blocking shot after shot from inside the penalty area.
Baselli and Enzo were too busy to help them; they were already stretched thin dealing with Cazorla and Ramsey.
The situation on the field once again devolved into Arsenal bombarding Burton's goal.
Eighty-eighth minute.
Sun Yan finally made his move with the "steal" move, winning the ball outside his own penalty area and passing it to Enzo in front of him.
The opposing players immediately prepared to surround them, but after a brief observation, the latter launched a long ball to the left wing.
That's Jami's position, and there are almost no defenders in front of him!
"start running!"
Li Yanqing shouted loudly, this might be their last chance!
Jami, who was in top form, didn't need any reminders. He received the ball and sprinted headfirst towards the opponent's half!
[Player and ball pass each other!]
Jamie made a brilliant breakthrough!
For the first time, Li Yanqing captured the specific process of a new word appearing; a new word was popping up and constantly changing.
He's learning the skill!
Based on what they just did, it should be a [player-ball passing] move.
But Jami's performance wasn't over yet. After getting past the opposing full-back, he then got past Koscielny, who came up to cover!
The latter was already exhausted and couldn't stop the attack!
This is not a "human-ball passing" move!
Li Yanqing was pleasantly surprised because the pop-up for Jamie's entry had slowly stopped.
The image is frozen on the theme of "extraordinary talent".
So far, among the people they've faced, only Paye possesses this skill.
Top-tier dribbling skills!
Do you remember how Payet outmaneuvered Miller and Sun Yan back then?
This is far more important than this match, because now they are absolutely confident that they can make it to the Premier League.
Even if it's the playoffs, we're not afraid of anything. We can play however we want!
Back on the field, Jamie dribbled past two players and created a one-on-one opportunity.
Ogradi accomplished his task, pushing Mertesacker aside and creating space for his teammates.
Quinn and his opponent Cazorla are sprinting towards this place, one after the other!
Cech focused intently on the ball, ready to dive and make a save at any moment.
Can you shoot?
Jamie did not make any adjustments.
He ran straight into the penalty area and then passed the ball towards the center.
They played very hard in this game, but Murphy, who had been invisible for almost 90 minutes, arrived just in time and put the ball into the top corner!
Cech was still on the other side of the goal and couldn't react at all!
"Two to one!"
"Unbelievable! Burton has taken the lead!"
"They beat West Ham United in their last FA Cup match, are they going to beat Arsenal this time too?"
"There's not much time left in the game!"
"Could this be the decisive blow?"
The commentator clearly couldn't believe his eyes, but it was true.
Arsenal bombarded Burton's goal in the final moments, but they conceded the first goal.
"Give me the ball!"
Players don't accept defeat so easily, especially players from top clubs.
Walcott called for the ball again and then sprinted toward the opposite goal.
Ramsey and Mkhitaryan followed up, and the three of them combined to easily bring the ball to the edge of the penalty area once again.
Baselli was passed over, Enzo was passed over, Bradford was passed over, and Turner was also passed over.
The good news is that only Mkhitaryan remains in Hart's presence.
[A master-level player abandons his school to launch a counterattack!]
Hart intercepted the ball on the edge of the penalty area, but due to the reaction force, the ball flew towards the position of the opposing player.
Ramsey!
[Heavy Artillery] Activated!
Burton's players could only watch helplessly as the ball hurtled towards their own goal.
Hart had just gotten up from the ground!
That's too late!
Li Yanqing covered his head; if they were tied, they were doomed to lose the match.
Wenger has one substitution left, and he won't give Burton any more chances!
Just as he was preparing to accept the result, he heard the excited shouts of the on-site commentator.
"No!"
“I can’t believe it!”
Ramsey's shot was intercepted!
"The match is over!"
"It's Sun Yan!"
"The young right-back arrived at the last moment and blocked the ball outside the goal line!"
PS
Don't worry about tips or anything like that.
The biggest support I can get is for you guys to give me ratings and urge me to update.
Also, sorry to our friends at Arsenal!
