We agreed to play football together, and you will be the head coach?

Chapter 249: Premier League's No. Midfielder VS Championship's No. Midfielder
On February 14th, the fifth round of the FA Cup kicks off.

Aston Villa came to London as a guest.

Because they were drawn to play away this time.

Looking at the Emirates Stadium in front of him, He Tianqi couldn't help but sigh, it turns out that it was you who dragged down Arsenal.

That’s right, Villa’s opponent in this round is Arsenal, currently ranked third in the Premier League!
Due to the fierce competition for the Premier League title, Arsenal dared not be distracted and arranged a youth training lineup early.

Former Palermo players Van Persie, Eduardo and others are not eligible for "patricide"!
Carlos Vela, center.

Midfielders: Wilshere, Rosicky, Ramsey.

Among them, Rosicky is the main player.

Wilshere is another supernova emerging from Arsenal.

Over the years, Wenger's Arsenal has provided too many "future stars" to the world of football, the most successful of which was Fabre.

And Wilshere is considered the next Fabregas!

That’s right, Fabregas is not old yet, the new generation is already here.

The defensive midfielder is Merida, who was once the captain of the Barcelona youth team and the team's second-highest scorer after Bojan.

But everyone knows Boyang's result, and this one is not as good as Boyang's.

He just scored his first Premier League goal last week and is now on the rise.

After he was poached by Arsenal for a few thousand euros, it caused changes in the rules regarding young players throughout Europe and made him famous.

The defenders are Sylvester and Alexander Song.

The former has played for Manchester United and the French team and is currently here to retire.

The latter is also a key rotation player for Arsenal and can play in multiple positions including defender and defensive midfielder.

If you are unfamiliar with this name, then you must have heard of "Song Gongming".

This person is one of the four gentlemen of Arsenal.

In the future, he will join Barcelona without hesitation for the high salary, giving up his main role at Arsenal and becoming a substitute at Barcelona.

However, after understanding his situation, many people chose to forgive him.

After all, he is a super worker who plays football alone and has to support hundreds of relatives and friends.

For money, don't be embarrassed.

The goalkeeper is the Polish national goalkeeper, Fabianski.

This lineup is top-light and foot-heavy, focusing on solid defense and free offense.

Although they are scary young, their fighting ability is actually not bad.

In three days, Arsenal will play in the round of 16 of the Champions League, and they cannot afford to lose.

Otherwise Wenger would definitely have put in a few more main players.

After all, Manchester United has suffered a loss at the hands of He Tianqi, so how could Wenger fall in the same place?
When He Tianqi and others entered the Emirates Stadium, there were many media interviewing them.

Some media asked about Wilshere and De Bruyne.

Wilshere was born in January 1992 and just turned eighteen.

Known as the most talented midfielder in the Premier League!

De Bruyne was born in June 1991 and is eighteen and a half years old.

Both his personal performance and statistics make him the most talented midfielder in the Championship.

You can even remove the word "genius".

The media are very curious about the future of these two rising midfield stars.

He Tianqi said: "De Bruyne has a bright future. He is now an excellent and mature midfielder. But I have higher expectations for him. I hope he can become one of the best midfielders in the world."

"As for Wilshere, his technique and mentality are impeccable, but I am concerned about his physical condition."

"He was exposed to professional competitions too early, which is not necessarily a good thing, especially when young players do not know how to take care of their bodies and cannot recognize the signals sent by their bodies."

"I think the intensity of the Premier League games at this stage is beyond Wilshere's ability to bear, or beyond the ability of normal young players to bear."

"This is also what I have always criticized about the Premier League."

"I think fierceness does not mean excitement and high standards. Fierceness is not just about violent physical collisions, but also about repeated impacts, fast-paced offense and defense transitions, etc."

"I hope the Premier League can put more effort into these areas."

"After all, every Premier League star is very valuable, and they have spent a lot of resources and attracted a lot of traffic. Their loss is the loss of the club and the entire Premier League!"

He Tianqi had no ill intentions.

But in Wilshere's eyes, this was clearly He Tianqi's questioning of his physical talent.

Wilshere, who is not tall to begin with, was very angry and wanted to slap He Tianqi in the face with his performance.

……

"Dear viewers, you are watching the fifth round of the FA Cup."

“Aston Villa’s starting lineup today is:”

"Dong Fangzhuo, Husky"

"Vardy, De Bruyne, Motta, Albrighton"

"Bale, Clarke, Bonucci, Walker"

Friedel

"This is a 442 formation. Agbonlahor, who was in hot form before, has not recovered from his injury. Schmeichel and Maldini are taking turns to rest."

"The camera showed the stands, and the 60,000 fans at the Emirates Stadium cheered, because the first-team stars who were not included in the squad also came to the stadium to support the Arsenal players on the field."

"Van Persie and Eduardo, the Palermo duo, are the key to Arsenal's continued success!"

"Especially Van Persie, he almost makes people forget about Henry!"

Fans: Let me be honest, are you sure Van Persie and Eduardo are not here to see He Tianqi?

With a whistle, the game begins.

Judging from the youth training style alone, Arsenal is much stronger than Manchester United.

Because their young troops, like Villa's young troops, are often tested in actual combat.

But Villa may be more thorough in their approach.

Because the players on the court are the team's main rotation.

Villa has almost no main players, the whole team consists mainly of rotations, and they are all relatively reliable players.

In the eighth minute, Rosicky made a cross pass and Wilshere made a long shot, which shocked the Gunners and started the Gunners' offensive.

In the 17th minute, Wilshere made a 45-degree cross and Bella headed the ball into the goal.

The ball went wide again.

Bella then complained that Bonucci was interfering with him and pulling him from behind.

Bonucci did get his hands on the ball, but it was a very slight move and according to Premier League practice, it was impossible to award a penalty.

In the 21st minute, Villa finally recovered and launched a decent attack.

After Albrighton dribbled the ball across half court, he passed it back and Motta helped the team to press forward.

Arsenal retreated under Wenger's command, preparing for a positional defense.

Arsenal's defensive positioning was still very solid and did not give Villa any chances.

But De Bruyne forced the chance and passed the ball straight to the left.

Bale made a high-speed run and hooked the ball before the baseline.

The Arsenal full-back who was defending Bale was a little careless and thought the ball was out of bounds.

Or maybe he thought that Bale would have to save the ball several times, so he turned around and signaled to Alexander not to come over, he could handle it himself.

The result was a bang.

The football flew past him.

After Bale hooked the ball back, he immediately made a lob pass without any unnecessary adjustments.

Dong Fangzhuo received the ball in the penalty area and tried to turn with the ball, facing the goal.

But Alexander kicked the ball away.

However, Dong Fangzhuo quickly caught up with the football, pressed Alexander behind him, and shot directly at the goal with his left foot at a small angle.

The football was not covered and slipped through the goal, about to fly out of the far end.

Yet Husky appeared in the path of the football.

To be precise, the ball hit Heskey's calf, changed direction and bounced into the far corner of the goal.

"GOAL! One to zero!"

"Dong Fangzhuo is so lucky!"

"After his dribbling and turning attempt was disrupted, he caught up with the ball again and his shot went wide but was accidentally touched into the goal by Heskey!"

“Husky showed his white teeth and he was very happy.”

"When I focused on shooting, the ball always went wide, but when I just poked it into the penalty area, I actually scored a goal!"

"This reminds me of the King of Pestle!"

"Back then Ronaldinho's shot from the spot was regarded as a classic by fans, so what about Heskey's goal without any shot?"

"Is there any V587?"

Afterwards, King Dong and King Chuzhuan jumped high and did a siu to celebrate!

He Tianqi also gave them applause.

You know what, people who play happy football have some good luck.

After turning the possible into the impossible many times, you will occasionally be able to turn the impossible into the possible.

In the 35th minute, Wilshere dribbled on the left and caused Walker to foul.

He then sent in a cross from the free kick, which Alexander headed, hitting the post.

"It seems that Arsenal has not yet paid off the loan for the Emirates Stadium. This goal doesn't recognize its own people." He Tianqi joked.

In the 37th minute, Mérida passed the ball to Wilshere on the left.

The little threat made a cross, which was very accurate.

Ramsey came from the back row and headed the ball into the goal before Clarke.

"GOAL! One to one! Arsenal quickly equalized the score!"

"Wilshere is so brilliant, Walker can't do anything with him!"

"Wilshere is not a fast or strong player like Walker is good at defending. He plays with his brain and technique, and Walker doesn't have much of these two!"

Walker was humiliated by the stadium commentator.

Wilshere even looked at He Tianqi frequently while celebrating, as if asking him who he thought was better between him and De Bruyne?
Arsenal also intended to stand up for Wilshere, or Wenger focused on defending De Bruyne and made targeted arrangements.

De Bruyne has been almost invisible recently.

In the 43rd minute, Heskey was brought down when he retreated to receive the ball and got a free kick in a good position in the frontcourt.

Albrighton took a free kick and sent the ball into the penalty area.

Bonucci heads the ball into the goal.

Fabianski made a heroic save.

Sylvester then cleared the ball out of the penalty area.

But Motta jumped high at the top of the arc, headed the ball and passed it to the left.

Vardy volleyed the ball with his right foot as it bounced off the ground.

The football rushed out from the crowd.

Fabianski, who was still standing up, failed to complete the jump, and his raised hands were only ten centimeters away from the football.

Swish!
“GOAL! 2-1! Villa takes the lead again!”

"Vardy's shot was stunning, a beautiful volley!"

"This grassroots legend is still writing his own story. His total number of goals in the Championship, League Cup and FA Cup this season has exceeded his previous single-season goal record in the fifth-level league!"

"Scoring more goals at a higher level, Vardy's growth rate is amazing!"

"He is currently also a reserve candidate for the England national team, competing with talented players such as Wilshere, Walcott, Agbonlahor and Lennon!"

“This was unimaginable six months ago!”

The first half ended shortly afterwards.

Soon, the second half began.

In the 49th minute, something unexpected happened.

Bella's shot resulted in a corner kick.

While competing for the header, Alexander headed the ball into Dong Fangzhuo's arm.

The referee therefore awarded Arsenal a penalty.

He Tianqi protested on the sidelines, saying that Dong Fangzhuo's actions were natural and he had no intention of deliberately blocking the football.

But in this era of handball, it’s very strict and the punishment is just a one-time penalty.

Rosicky scored with a penalty kick, tying the score again at 2-2.

Compared to Schmeichel who can create miracles from time to time, Villa's second goalkeeper Friedel can only be said to be adequate but not very useful.

After all, he is nearly 40 years old and is about to retire, so it’s good enough that he can be used.

As for Courtois... he is still very unstable, so he didn't get the last chance.

In the 54th minute, De Bruyne passed the ball to Dong Fangzhuo who was on the side.

Dong Fangzhuo blocked it diagonally.

He plays as a left midfielder, but actually he always runs into the penalty area, a bit like a shadow striker. Vardy moves forward along the ribs, breaks into the penalty area, catches up with the ball and shoots at a small angle.

The angle is really small, probably only twenty degrees.

Fabianski naturally blocked the ball easily.

The camera then turned to Wilshere.

So far, Wilshere's performance has been far better than De Bruyne's.

He Tianqi's expectations for De Bruyne and warning to Wilshere before the game were completely untenable.

In the 61st minute, the time and the scene were almost the same.

He Tianqi came to the sidelines and made a pressing gesture.

"Slightly spicy pressing time" has become He Tianqi's exclusive synonym.

Based on the opponent's performance, He Tianqi was always able to find the time when the opponent was the most slack and tired at a certain time in the second half, allowing the team to launch a pressing attack.

Often with amazing results.

But it's hard to imitate.

Because only He Tianqi can find this time point accurately.

And you also have to make sure that your players are not there at this time, so they have enough energy to launch a siege.

The "new Arteta" Merida wanted to counterattack and forced a through ball.

As a result, De Bruyne made an accurate prediction and successfully intercepted the ball.

This is a frontcourt steal!
De Bruyne also made a through pass in return.

The position was wide and the Arsenal defenders had no way of defending it.

Dong Fangzhuo kicked the ball directly, not giving Sylvester and Alexander a chance to get closer.

Fabianski tried his best to save the ball, but Dong Fangzhuo had solid shooting skills.

"GOAL! Three to two!"

"Arsenal made a serious mistake!"

"De Bruyne assisted Dong Fangzhuo to score!"

"This is a completely lucky goal! The slightly aggressive pressing is well-deserved!"

“It’s a pity that Merida is not the real Arteta and failed to break through.”

On the sidelines, Inzaghi quickly flattered him: "What little Fabregas, little Arteta... Didn't the real Fabregas and Arteta get beaten badly by you?"

He Tianqi smiled slightly: "Simoné, how much is your salary? It's time for a raise!"

Inzaghi was overjoyed: "Ah? Not so good? The team hasn't won any honors yet..."

He Tianqi: "That makes sense. I'll give you a raise next season."

Inzaghi slapped himself twice at that time.

Why are you learning humility from the Chinese?

This is all true and false, who can get around them?
