My light shines on Arsenal

Chapter 90 This is my gift
Alexander Song barely paused before whipping out a long pass to the wing.

Alex Chamberlain unloaded the ball in the air, making no adjustments and sprinting forward.

Tangning didn't have time to be stunned. He knew that Glen Johnson had pressed hard to cooperate with him, and now Liverpool's left defense zone was empty.

Downing, Glen Johnson, and Carvajal were all huddled together on the wing just now to watch the game, but now they were all running back as hard as they could.

Carvajal happily put on the assist. Glenn Johnson and Downing looked at the flat green field in front of them, and their hearts were about to break.

Charlie Adam made the right choice, striding deep to the left halfway to prevent Chamberlain from cutting, forming a two-man defense with Skrtel.

Chamberlain dribbled the ball to the bottom line, looked up, the route into the penalty area was blocked by Skrtel, the route back to the top of the arc was occupied by Charlie Adam, and Carvajal behind him was still running wildly.

Without a chance to cooperate, Chamberlain directly passed the penalty area with his right foot.

If there is no chance to cooperate, then pass the ball into the penalty area and let the forward deal with the problem.

It just so happens that there is still a top striker in the team.

Van Persie was ready to go, and Agger, who was staring closely at him, stepped forward and jumped to make a rescue.

But Van Persie didn't jump with Agger. He watched Agger jump and ran back to where the ball landed.

When Van Persie was running, he pointed out the direction to Ramsey, which was their fixed routine.

Ramsey immediately advanced into the penalty area according to the deployment. Agger, who had just landed, was stunned, watching Van Persie leave his coverage area.

With Charlie Adam still on the flank and Spieling on the other, Liverpool's 4-4-2 defense was stretched flat again.

Jorginho, standing at the front of the center circle, headed the ball forward, and Van Persie, who retreated, unloaded the ball with one foot. Before the ball stopped, he raised his leg and shot!
This kick thoroughly demonstrated that Van Persie's state has reached its peak.

With his strength and state, when he was [-] years old, he climbed to the status of a world-class striker.

The football passed through Reina's fingers like a shooting star and entered the goal.

Two to zero!
Arms outstretched, Van Persie sprinted towards the Arsenal fans' zone, as Gunners fans at Wembley chanted the Dutchman's name and congratulated him.

In the No. 20 minute of the game, Arsenal led by two goals.

"How is it?" Chen Yao looked at Pat Rice beside him with a smile, "Pat, we can come to Wembley again."

Pat Rice nodded, he knew what Chen Yao meant.

The FA Cup final is also held at Wembley Stadium, and if Arsenal beat Liverpool, they will return to Wembley a month later to compete for the FA Cup title.

"Well done, Chen. Maybe our generation is indeed getting old..."

……

"At halftime, Arsenal led Liverpool by two goals. In this half, Arsenal's performance was surprising. Jamie, why do you think the game showed such a one-sided trend?"

At half-time, Martin Taylor questioned Jamie Redknapp.

Redknapp pondered for a while and said: "Martin, this is a very interesting half. Arsenal's progress is very fast. Their growth curve was flat at the beginning, but it rose rapidly at the end of the season."

"Jamie, but Arsenal used to be like this, they would go down in the winter, like hibernation, and come back to life in the spring."

"It's a state cycle of physical consumption and recovery, Martin, you're right. But what's amazing is that Arsenal players are not only improving physically, but also improving their skills and awareness."

"you are right……"

"Players like Zaha, Jorginho, Verratti, including Chamberlain, they were unknown youth training players a season ago, but now they can be regarded as good new players in the Premier League."

"And Martin," added Jamie Redknapp, "you see, these players are not only getting stronger and stronger physically, they are also showing excellent tactical quality. They are good at observation, they are good at passing and running. The recent offensive efficiency is much higher than before."

"It's impressive... I'm starting to look forward to their performance. Perhaps, this should be attributed to the performance of Coach Chen Yao?"

……

Halftime, in the Liverpool dressing room.

"Cheer up! Show the blood of Liverpool! We are Liverpool who never give up!"

Dalglish continued to boost morale, but did not adjust tactics.

The 60-year-old Dalglish doubted his football concept for the first time. Could it be that the tactical concept that helped him get what he wanted 30 years ago was not always effective?

His faith in his tactics was faltering.

Arsenal's performance made him dazzled, with erratic personnel movement, clear pass and run coordination, flexible side transfer from strong to weak side, orderly oppression and interception...

These things are completely different from the football that is ingrained in his mind, where he plays high and high, the movement of personnel is precise, and the cross is hard.

But at this moment, what else can Dalglish do?

In just 10 minutes of rest time, all he can do is to stimulate the bloodiness of the players, and hope that the players will explode to regain the situation.

Because Dalglish, also need this victory.

After the Fenway Group took over Liverpool, they placed great expectations on him.

Dalglish did repay this expectation for a time and brought a League Cup championship.

But their performance in the league is very bad, currently only ranked seventh.

Charlie Adam, Stuart Downing and Andy Carroll, who were introduced with huge sums of money, were supposed to be the new core of Liverpool's frontcourt, but they were all in a muddle and did nothing.

In addition, Dalglish was always talkative when interviewed by the media, which aroused extremely bad public opinion.

His coaching position is not as stable as it seems.The only thing that can strengthen his position is to win another championship.

But, can it still be done...

Dalglish looked up and saw that the Liverpool players were confused.

They were working very hard to get themselves excited. Captain Gerrard kept talking about the fighting spirit, but the players with bad feet just nodded mechanically and gave perfunctory high-fives.

Really, I really miss 30 years ago.

……

"The game is over! Three to one! The second half of the game was a lot dull. Liverpool's players were full of confusion. Although they scored one goal back, they also conceded another goal because of Skrtel's header. Jamie, what do you have? Anything to add?"

"Martin, I think Dalglish is really out of date. He doesn't know how to control the ball, doesn't know how to press, and doesn't know how to cooperate. He only lets the players mechanically lob the ball into the penalty area. In the second half, he replaced Carlo. You and Bellamy have finally changed, but they are still powerless."

"I think I want to applaud Arsenal's progress. Their current level should return to the top five in the league, but whether these players can continue to grow and where the upper limit is is what we have to look forward to in the following seasons."

Martin Taylor and Jamie Redknapp schmoozed off and on, killing the game broadcast time.

Inside Wembley Stadium.

The Liverpool players walked back to the dressing room in silence and were comforted by members of the coaching staff.

Dalglish looked up blankly, and what came into view was Wembley's symbol, the giant single arch.

Wembley was founded in [-] and has undergone a rebuild in the new century.

Before the rebuilding of Wembley, it was his time and that of his generation.

The years have not destroyed Wembley, it is still the leader of the times after the reconstruction.

But have I been abandoned by the times?

the other side.

The Arsenal players happily circled the pitch to say goodbye to the fans.

Chen Yao also stepped into the field, stepping on the green grass with his leather shoes and feeling the quality of Wembley's turf.

He was overwhelmed with emotion. The scoreboard showed three to one, which made him gratified, and the growth of the players made him even more gratified.

The future can be expected, nothing more.

After nearly a season of training, Arsenal, rebuilt from the ruins, finally paid off.

Next, when they come to Wembley again, there will be an FA Cup final.

For the second year in a row, they once again had the chance to compete for the championship and end their absence.

"BOSS." Chen Yao didn't turn his head, he heard footsteps behind him, and knew that it was Wenger who came to his side.

"In the next game, you can take command. I will do my best to help you, and I hope that you can personally end the team's seven-year championship history."

Chen Yao smiled and looked at the majestic white single arch in the sky:
"This is my present to you."
