Becoming a football god from Arsenal

Chapter 38 Three to zero at halftime!
Bramall Lane, Sheffield City.

"Mael! Mael! Mael!!"

The lights were bright and the cheers were deafening. The Blades fans created the atmosphere today and their shouts even spread to the surrounding blocks.

An unstoppable momentum weighed on the Preston players. They began to make forced mistakes and the situation became chaotic.

Sheffield scored a goal at the start of the game, and it was such a wonderful world-class goal.

They could probably imagine how high-spirited and high-spirited their opponents were at this moment!
"Don't worry, don't worry!"

Preston coach Landers had a gloomy face. He stood in the coaching area from the beginning and never left. "Their offensive means are very simple. Don't worry. Play your own game well."

He wanted to use this method to help the players regain their confidence and believe that they could defeat their opponents.

Landers swallowed his saliva and felt his throat was a little hoarse. He was still very depressed after being caught off guard.

Didn’t the pre-match survey say that the boy’s greatest attribute was his crosses?
His confrontation and breakthrough abilities are not outstanding. How come he was able to defeat their full-back and score a goal with a long shot as soon as he came on the court?

“There’s information asymmetry!”

He wanted to shout this out sadly, but no one listened to his complaints.

I can only wait until I get back to the team, then grab the data analyst by the collar and ask him in a friendly manner, what the hell are you doing for a living?

"Boom."

In the 27th minute of the game, Maher once again received a penetrating pass from his teammate in a favorable position.

Randers quickly followed to the wing area, and wanted to remind the full-back, so he pedaled faster on his bicycle, without any other means of dribbling past the defense.

But thinking about what he had reminded the full-back about before the game, he didn't say anything more.

As he thought, Maher did start cycling after receiving the ball, and quickly dribbled the ball to the outside, ready to pass it.

"Break him!"

He shouted and found that his full-back's center of gravity was indeed not deceived, and he pushed off the ground and burst out to catch up with Maher's change of direction.

But then, Maher, who had tasted success not long ago, used a simple and rough method and leaned hard towards the full-back who was following him.

With a 'bang', the full-back was knocked half a body away again, and Maher sent a cross to the middle.

"Damn it!" Landes cursed inwardly with a bitter look on his face, and his body slowly leaned backward with an alarming angle, pushing his hips forward, his whole body tense.

"Bang!!"

In the middle position, Sheffield United center forward Borodanovic jumped high and headed the ball towards the goal, but unfortunately he touched the ball too little and had not found the feeling yet, so the header was a little off.

Randers then breathed a sigh of relief, then turned angrily and looked at the bench, trying to find a stronger full-back to replace him.

But after looking left and right, he finally turned his head back to the court with a pout.

"Kids nowadays are too weird!" He was furious. A team like theirs without strong full-backs really had no way to deal with a winger like Maher.

“The first half was coming to an end, Sheffield created several good chances, and had an advantage in corner kicks and set pieces!
"The performance of the two youngsters, Mahel and Gilbert, was amazing. Even though they lacked experience, they made up for it with their daring and fighting spirit. They made the Preston players feel uncomfortable.

"Randers's face has not been looking good. This is his coaching style. He is a passionate coach and his mood changes easily depending on the situation of the team.

"Let's take a look at this attack! A beautiful three-on-two situation on the wing! Calvet breaks into the penalty area, he runs straight in from the fullback position, and rushes to the baseline with Ward on his back. What will he choose?!"

On the field, amid the cheers of the audience, Sheffield right-back Calvet reached the bottom line of the ribs.

He glanced at the center of the penalty area and found that his opponent was already in a state of panic and was retreating quickly.

It is difficult to turn the center of gravity in the opposite direction during this sprint retreat.

He imitated the way Ward assisted Maher and kicked in the direction of the inverted triangle!
Sure enough, the football was played with poor reaction!
Many Preston players wanted to shift their center of gravity and kick the ball after seeing it, but their bodies failed to keep up, and the ball slipped away by a hair's breadth.

"Bang!!"

The one who followed up with the shot was the team's midfielder Januhans. He stretched his body and launched a beautiful arc with his arch of the foot towards the far corner.

The football passed through the blocking legs in the penalty area and rolled into the far corner of the goal! 2-0!
Sheffield United extended their lead!

"Oh!!" The home fans danced wildly in the stands and celebrated the goal ecstatically as if it were New Year's Day.

We are getting closer to the first home win of the new season!

"Calvey, my bedroom door is open to you tonight."

Januhans smiled sullenly, pointed at Calvet who assisted him, and ran over, "Take care of the guy."

"Get lost."

Calvet looked disgusted, but still because of the joy of scoring the goal, he opened his arms to him and said, "If I had known, I would have passed the ball to Gilbert."

Gilbert, who was following behind, didn't hear clearly and got the meaning wrong. He felt a chill and said, "Is there still such a tradition and rule in Sheffield for Lenovo to receive a pass from a teammate?"

He thought of Ward's assist to Maher and couldn't help but observe a few seconds of silence for his brother.

No, didn’t Maher also assist him?

"What are you thinking, idiot!"

Maher ran up, laughed twice, and pushed him towards the celebrating crowd.

After the restart, it was visibly that Preston coach Rands' face had darkened even more.

He no longer walked around the sidelines, but stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, watching the football move indifferently.

I looked at the watch and there was not much time left before the end of the first half.

Let's just end it like this. If we try to rescue him during the game, maybe he can still survive.

"Oh!"

At this time, he saw the opponent's midfielder Januhans pass the ball to Maher's feet, and Maher started his magical bicycle step again.

"Be careful that he doesn't hit you, be smart!"

Landers gritted his teeth and reminded, "His breakthrough can't get past you. Avoid confrontation and you will win!"

Preston's full-back seemed to have heard it, and occasionally feinted during the defense to lure Maher into hitting him so that he could actively dodge.

Just like that, after Maher finished the three-step bicycle, he stepped on the ground with his right foot and moved his left body to the left in a big way, as if he was about to make the final breakthrough.

The Preston defender was fooled and focused on his own inside line, only to see that Mahel did not dribble the ball!
broken!

This is still a feint!

"Snap!" Maher stepped on the ground with his left foot and exerted force again. He kicked the ball to the right side of the outside line with his right foot and looked at the midfield position.

Of course, bicycle pedaling and striding past the opponent can be used in combination. Only in this way can you create a dazzling illusion and deceive the opponent's center of gravity!
"Oh!"

Maher caught the ball with his right foot and sent a cross towards the center. The arc of the ball turned sharply towards the front point.

"Ah" Landes, who was not far from them, pushed his hips forward again and leaned his body backward, trying to use his body skills to twist the danger of the ball away. It seemed like human instinct.

But this time, he was not so lucky.

Borodanovic, the center forward who had been buried for a long time, has greatly improved his condition after meeting Maher, a very good partner.

"Oh!"

He rushed out quickly and used the back of his head to push the football towards the goal.

Before he had time to look back, he first saw the fans standing up on both sides and heard the resounding shouts: "Yeah!!"

The ball went in!
His first goal of the new season!
Leading 3-0 at halftime!
"Mael!" Borodanovic pulled the bottom edge of his clothes with both hands to lift it up, and kept shaking the clothes to express his excitement. He ran to the wing and ran into Mael's arms.

"Oh!" Only Preston coach Rands, whose face was disheveled in the wind, was left. He raised his hips higher and made a loud noise under the cover of the cheers.
