My uncle is Inzaghi

Chapter 18 Seventeen or thirty-seven?

Under everyone's gaze, Li Mo stepped onto the court.

Manqi frowned.

Things were a bit beyond his expectation.

He really didn't expect Li Mo's appearance as a substitute.

This gave Mancini a feeling that the situation was not under his control.

Mancini certainly knew Li Mo a little bit - he was a member of Arsenal's 18-man squad anyway.

Then he forgot about Li Mo.

He didn't think so at all, this little guy who grew up in the AC Milan youth training system.

Being able to adapt quickly and get opportunities in a completely different football environment.

So now Li Mo's unprecedented appearance as a substitute makes Mancini a little nervous.

So he came to the sidelines and stared at Li Mo.

I want to know why this little guy gets Wenger's attention.

The game resumed.

This is Arsenal's attack.

Podolski received the throw-in from full-back Gibbs and passed it diagonally back to Arteta who came to meet him.

The moment Arteta received the ball, Li Mo suddenly stepped forward.

When Arteta did not pass the ball over, but chose to pass the ball diagonally to Cazorla who was pulled to the wing.

He quickly ran back, cruising left and right along the City backline.

He constantly looked left and right, specifically looking for blind spots in Manchester City's back line.

Every time he chose a position, he stepped on an embarrassing position in Manchester City's back line.

"Is this guy Inzaghi?"

Mancini muttered.

Just when he was about to let the players in Manchester City's back line be more vigilant towards Li Mo.

Cazorla, who took a step inside with the ball, suddenly stuffed the ball diagonally into the penalty area with his left foot!

Just now.

A red figure appeared in the restricted area!

Lescott, who was responsible for defending this area, was shocked. He almost instinctively raised his hand to signal that the opponent was offside.

Then he saw the back of No. 19 shooting with his left foot in the ribs!
  The football soared into the air, drew an obvious arc in mid-air, bypassed Joe Hart's fingers, and plunged into the net.

"plum!!!!!!"

In the commentary box.

Andy Gray exclaimed.

"He scored with his first touch!!!"

Before he finished speaking.

sidelines.

The linesman hesitantly raised his flag.

beep!
  The referee on duty blew his whistle and moved his right hand back and forth.

Offside! ! !

Wenger, who was just about to rush to the sidelines to celebrate, immediately put his head in his hands and rushed to the technical area.

"Offside?! Did you see it clearly? Good ball! This is a good ball! You blew a good ball! Damn it!"

"Calm down! Calm down! Mr. Wenger!! The referee team has their own judgment!"

The fourth official came out with a headache to calm Wenger's anger.

Wenger certainly had reason to be angry.

The characteristic of young players is that they are not very stable.

Once your confidence rises, you might be able to perform beyond your level.

If Li Mo had touched the ball with his first touch, he would have scored.

The confidence boost this brings must be huge!
  in contrast.

If the ball is blown.

His confidence has been thwarted, and it may be difficult for him to perform at this level in the future!

Arsenal's players were also furious.

Li Mo was ready to celebrate.

After hearing the referee's whistle, he looked unwilling.

"Offside? I wasn't offside at all! Look at the replay!!"

Li Mo pointed to the big screen and shouted at the referee on duty.

Referee Oliver also had a headache when faced with the surrounding Arsenal players.

He chose to trust the linesman's judgment.

But judging from the replay on the big screen at the scene, this ball is indeed a matter of millimeters.

There is no VAR now, and there is no technical line drawing.

It is common for linesmen to misjudge obvious offsides, not to mention the situation where a ruler needs to be used to measure whether it is offside or not?
  Honestly.

It is indeed a bit difficult for the linesman to make a 100% accurate judgment.

Considering this is Manchester City’s home ground.

If the ball is blown, it will be blown away.

"A matter of millimeters!"

Zhang Jun was extremely regretful.

"However, judging from the handling of the ball, Li Mo's shot was very decisive. He adjusted his pace during the forward movement. His eyes were always staring at the goalkeeper. The arch of his right foot scooped the ball up intentionally! These are all It all shows that Li Mo has the ability to score!"

Dragon Kingdom fans are also very sorry.

"Oliver! You're really blind!"

"This ball was called for offside!"    "Damn it."

The comments section was filled with criticism of Oliver.

Mancini breathed a huge sigh of relief on the sidelines.

If this goal really counts.
  That would be difficult for Manchester City.

Scored a goal with his first touch of the ball.

The confidence boost this brings to Li Mo and the boost to Arsenal's morale are enough to destroy Manchester City!

The ball was blown.

The situation of the game suddenly became extremely favorable to Manchester City.

But he still had a few words to say.

"Don't ignore him! Watch him to death!!!"

Mancini yelled onto the field.

Lescott was in shock.

One second ago, Li Mo was still in his sight. A second later, Li Mo appeared in the blind spot of his sight and scored directly.

Fortunately, the linesman saved Manchester City.

"Don't let him out of your sight!!"

Kompany shouted.

This ball is really hanging
  "I see!"

Lescott gritted his teeth.

He knew why Li Mo kept wandering around his defense zone.

Isn't it just that he is not as good at bullying as Kompany?
  This kid bullies the weak and fears the strong!

Eh?
  It seems a little wrong to say this.
  Li Mo gave him such a blow.

Manchester City is prepared to shrink its defense first and spend this time under the opponent's offensive rhythm.

After all, are they ahead?

I feel I am qualified to defend.

Arsenal also took advantage of the situation to launch an attack.

It is different from the young man Mancini imagined who would fluctuate after a goal was disallowed.

Li Mo behaved very calmly.

How to kick or how to kick.

"Li Mo is very calm on the court. He looks like a 37-year-old guy, not a 17-year-old young man."

Martin Keum said in the commentary box.

Because Li Mo strives for success.

He had the absolute upper hand in the argument with Gary Neville.

Li Mo's moves continued.

In fact, the significance is not that he may score a goal.

More significance lies in his pull on Manchester City's defense.

Defense requires a system.

If the defense is messed up.

That's in the eyes of top players.

There are loopholes everywhere.

The th minute of the game.

Li Mo received the ball at the front of the penalty area, passed the ball to the other side, and then pressed forward.

The position he chose happened to be between Manchester City midfielder Barry and center back Lescott.

His forward pressure this time successfully attracted the attention of the two people.

Just when they were pressing forward with Li Mo.

Li Mo's movement this time created a gap.

Cazorla took advantage of this gap.

He quickly filled in, then received a pass from Podolski on the wing, and hit the ball directly with a long shot! !

Joe Hart makes a thrilling save.

The Manchester City fans in the stands were shocked into a cold sweat.

"Beautiful! Cazorla's long shot! What a wonderful shot! Joe Hart's save was also beautiful!!"

"Arsenal has been on a roll this time!"

"It all started after Li Mo came on the scene!"

"Li Mo's attack on the goal is very direct, which makes Manchester City's defenders very afraid!"

"This fear gives other Arsenal players more opportunities!!"

In the commentary box.

Commentators from various TV stations praised Li Mo's performance.

After being denied a goal, Li Mo was able to produce such a stable performance, which is indeed worthy of praise.

The camera shows Walcott on the bench.

Walcott, like his teammates on the bench, was applauding Cazorla's shot.

But his face looked very solemn.

obviously.

TV directors are also very knowledgeable about football.

Such a stable performance from Li Mo.

Put a lot of pressure on him.

If he continues his poor form from the start of the season to now.

It's not surprising that the main position was taken away by Li Mo.
