Chapter 78 Don’t underestimate 5 points

Chapter 78 Don’t underestimate five percent

"Li Mo!! The ball went in! Foul! The referee awarded an offensive foul to Li Mo!"

"Li Mo overpowered Lascott and sent the ball into the goal, but the ball was called for a foul. Let's take a look at the slow-motion replay, oh oh oh oh! Poor Nastasic, he seemed to have been hit by a monster. It’s like flying!”

"Li Mo is actually so powerful?"

"This is really surprising. Nastasic is a central defender known for his aerial confrontation. But this time, he was almost completely crushed by Li Mo."

"Arsenal had the ball in the Manchester City goal, but unfortunately it was offside."

Nastasic got up from the ground, with a look of horror on his face.

He was actually completely suppressed by Li Mo during the confrontation.

but.

Before this, he hadn't seen Li Mo show this characteristic of his in other games?

He looked at Li Mo.

At this time, the instigator of this "air collision accident" was complaining to the referee. He made a collision gesture: "I didn't hit him, it was the two of us that collided with each other. This is not a foul at all. He flew out purely It’s just that he’s too weak!”

Nastasic's face turned dark when he heard these words.

He is very confident in his ability to fight in the air. This is the first time that someone has looked down upon him in this regard!

Nastasic glared at Li Mo fiercely.

Unfortunately.

Li Mo didn't notice him at all.

This made Nastasic depressed.

He looked at his partner Lescott. He had boasted that Li Mo was nothing more than that, but when he turned around, he was knocked away.

This made Nastasic feel very humiliated.

"I was careless."

he explained to Rascott.

"This kid is very powerful, you have to pay special attention to him."

Lescott kindly reminded.

But these words were a bit harsh in Nastasic's ears.

If it were Kompany who said this, he wouldn't think twice about it.

But Lescott's main position was taken away by Nastasic.

Nastasic didn't know if Lescott had any thoughts in his heart - there was a high probability that he did.

so.

Are you kidding yourself by saying this?

Yes, if I was ravaged by Li Mo in this game.

Is that when Lescott’s chance comes?

Even thinking about the possibility of crisis in one's own position.

Nastasic secretly made up his mind.

We must get the place back!

Li Mo's disallowed goal aroused the fighting spirit of Arsenal players.

The atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium has become lively again.

At the end of the first half.

Arsenal, playing at home, still launched a wave of offensive despite having one less player.

Unfortunately.

Time is running out.

The referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, interrupting Arsenal's offensive momentum.

This gave Manchester City coach Mancini a sigh of relief on the sidelines.

He has never underestimated Arsenal.

Now it seems that his judgment was accurate.

This Arsenal team was able to launch a fierce attack even with one less player.

This speaks to the toughness of the opponent.

There are forty-five minutes left in this game.

It's really not that easy for Manchester City, who are one goal ahead, to secure three points.

When he returned to the locker room, all he was thinking about was how to break the Manchester City players' mentality of underestimating the enemy.

Even if the opponent has one less person to fight.

It must not be taken lightly.

Wenger was also relieved.

He had planned to hit a dozen chicken blood during halftime.

The result now seems less necessary.

Li Mo performed very well in the second half of the first half, and he actually became a battering ram.

Switch from assassin to tank warrior.

This change makes Wenger somewhat unbelievable.

Although he said this many times.

But he couldn't help but tell his assistant: "This kid is becoming more and more versatile."

Nastasic sat in his seat and listened to the coach's tirade.

"Absolutely don't take it lightly", "We are facing the best center in the Premier League!" ", "Don't underestimate the enemy" and so on.

As Nastasic listened, he heard the scene of himself being knocked into the air by Li Mo.

He felt that when the head coach said this, he was definitely trying to impress himself, telling him not to think that his ability to fight in the air was the best in the world.

Nastasic wanted to stand up and say that it was just an accident.

But he is not that stupid - if he came out to explain, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?

Nastasic held in his breath very hard.

He made a fist.

This scene.

He must come back in the second half!

"Li, God, when did you become so good at fighting?"

"That guy Nastasic is known as the "New Vidic", and he was knocked away by you."

"It's good to be young, and your body is getting better every day."

In the Arsenal dressing room.

Arsenal's players didn't care so much.

They marveled at Li Mo's aerial confrontation ability in the first half.

Many people even came up and squeezed Li Mo's muscles.

"It seems to be a lot bigger than it was more than three months ago."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's awesome. Is there anything else you can't do?"

The grievance of being beaten by one less person has almost been released.

Everyone has figured it out.

For Arsenal.

There is only one way left in the second half: attack, equalize, or even overtake!

under this belief.

The second half of the game has just begun.

Arsenal took advantage of their opportunity to kick off the ball first and launched a fierce attack!

Mancini was not surprised.

He had expected Arsenal to do this.

They have one less player to play, and Arsenal wants to maintain a balance with Manchester City on the scene, or even an advantage.

You have to make more runs.

The physical exertion is definitely much greater than that of Manchester City.

Therefore, Arsenal's most likely approach is to take advantage of the fifteen-minute halftime break to regain physical strength and launch an offensive.

Manchester City only needs to overcome Arsenal's three challenges.

As time goes by, Manchester City's advantage will become greater and greater.

Therefore, Mancini is not worried about Arsenal's current offense at all.

The harder Arsenal attacks now, the sooner the point of physical breakdown will arrive.

The football fell to Arteta.

Arsenal just lost the ball and were counterattacked by Manchester City. Fortunately, at the critical moment, full-back Monreal flew to tackle and snatched the ball back.

Now it's Arsenal's turn to fight back.

However, Manchester City players returned to defense very quickly.

The four defenders immediately returned to their defensive positions.

However, Arteta did not choose to hold on to the ball, pass the ball backwards, drop the ball or anything like that.

Now the opponent only has one defense line and still has the opportunity to attack.

Wait until everyone comes back.

Then there is no chance at all.

If you want to attack, you have to look for Li Mo.

This is Arsenal's top offensive point now and the one they rely on most.

He directly launched the long ball.

The football crossed the midfield and flew in the direction of Li Mo.

Li Mo looked back at the football sideways.

Nastasic's hand beside him was already on his clothes, and his defense was basically in place.

However, Li Mo did not choose to stop the ball himself. Instead, he headed the ball while running and threw the ball to the side. is on the right side of the road.

Walcott had already plugged in at high speed.

Li Mo's header just landed on his path.

Walcott's speed did not slow down, he directly took the ball and moved forward!

"Walcott! Arsenal's counterattack is coming!!"

the commentators roared.

Mancini immediately stood up from the coaching bench, craning his neck to look at the court.

When I saw that Walcott and Li Mo were participating in the attack at this time.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked toward the restricted area.

In the middle of the penalty area.

Li Mo almost ran towards the penalty area at high speed with Nastasic.

Both of them turned sideways, facing the ball from the wing head-on.

While Nastasic was running, his eyes kept staring at Li Mo.

He was behind Li Mo - he originally wanted to go around to the front, but Li Mo started immediately after completing the header pass, leaving him no chance to go around to defend.

But even in the back.

He didn't panic either.

Because he is a defender!

His purpose was just to stop Li Mo. He didn't need to head the ball into the goal like Li Mo did.

As the football comes flying.

Nastasic chose a time and position that he thought was the most suitable and took off!

The body collided in the direction of Li Mo!

This time.

He is fully prepared!

As Li Mo ran, he paid attention to the defense out of the corner of his eye.

In fact, this is Li Mo's habit of playing football. His head is like a radar that rotates 360 degrees, driving his sight to scan all the surrounding situations into his mind. After analysis and processing by the brain, he makes a decision. judge.

This is true even if it's a seemingly simple grab.

therefore.

Li Mo quickly analyzed Nastasic's plan.

He wants to use the impact of his jump to interfere with his header.

With this collision from the opposite side, I really couldn't say whether I would still be able to hit the ball into the goal.

Li Mo's eyes returned to the route of the ball.

As he ran, he began to slow down, adjust his steps, and then...

Take off!

When Li Mo jumped up, he was already prepared to confront Nastasic in the air, so his take-off line was diagonally toward his back.

at the same time.

He clenched his teeth, and his muscles all over his body contracted and became tense.

The same goes for Nastasic behind him.

This time the two of them collided completely.

Nastasic fell on his back.

Li Mo was also knocked forward, but this just allowed him to straighten his body.

Although unable to exert force.

But fortunately, the ball passed by Walcott was quite fast.

All Li Mo has to do is try to keep his head straight so that the football can hit the right spot accurately.

擦.

The football quickly grazed Li Mo's forehead.

Then he changed direction and flew farther towards the goal.

At this point.

Li Mocai finally couldn't control his body's center of gravity.

His previously tense muscles relaxed, and Li Mo gave up his plan to fight against gravity.

He turned his head, and while falling from the air, he watched the football fly past goalkeeper Joe Hart's fingers, and then...

brush!

The football scraped against the inside edge of the uprights and was swept up by the side netting.

boom!

Li Mo fell heavily from the air to the ground.

Under the action of inertia, it also slid forward for a short distance, which shows how violent the impact just was.

Li Mo regained control of his body at this time.

Then he opened his mouth wide, roared, and rushed to the sidelines!

Kneel down! !

Accompanying Li Mo's wild shouts, the Emirates Stadium was boiling like a pot of boiling water.

"Li Mo.GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"

In fact, the process from Walcott's pass to the collision between the two and then Li Mo's header hitting the goal was very short.

When Li Mo jumped up high.

The Arsenal fans were cheering.

It was as if they already knew the football was going to fly into the goal.

Amid huge cheers, Li Mo skated and kneeled out of the three stripes at the Emirates Stadium.

Before he could get up, he was pushed to the ground by the excited Arsenal players.

"Good job!"

"Keep going! Keep doing this!!"

Although the score is still a draw.

But considering that Arsenal played one less player for a long time.

Arsenal's players certainly have reason to be excited.

"Li Mo once again defeated Nastasic in the air. It's really surprising that Li Mo has such an advantage in the air. Who said he is just an opportunist?"

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray sounded extremely surprised.

Judging from the scene just now.

Almost most people thought that it would be difficult for Li Mo to maintain his center of gravity and complete a header in such a confrontation - but he did it.

Although it was only for a short time, he did lose focus only after completing the attack.

There is an obvious contrast here.

That is Nastasic, the other side of the confrontation.

After the two sides collided.

Nastasic fell directly backward and fell to the ground, losing his center of gravity almost immediately after the collision.

And Li Mo.

It stabilizes his body.

Even if it's only half a second.

That's enough.

In such a duel, a half-second advantage can determine success or failure.

"It's amazingly powerful"

Many commentators were amazed.

They can't help but marvel that Balotelli's physical confrontation ability is considered top-notch in world football.
