Becoming a football god from Arsenal

Chapter 47 Single Blade!

Turning our attention back to Bramall Lane, the game re-entered the offensive and defensive stages of the game.

Maher's goal ignited the passion of the scene and gave Sheffield United players greater motivation and desire.

"Boom! Boom!"

They launched a fierce attack, with balls constantly being lofted into the penalty area from both flanks.

The Championship teams really can't come up with any very good technical and tactical combinations.

The most practical way is to create an opportunity to outnumber the opponent on the wing, or to fight one-on-one, then pass the ball to the middle, and have as many players as possible enter the middle to compete for the header and cross the ball.

All that's left is to counterattack and defend well, and that's enough.

But whether a simple tactic can be played and executed well depends on the coaching staff's investigation of the opponent before the game, as well as the players' condition and strength.

It seems that the Sheffield United players are in good shape now!

In the 21st minute of the game, a new great opportunity arrived.

Gilbert used a surgical pass to tear open the gap on the flank of Portsmouth, and Evans made a diagonal run to receive the pass.

"Bang!!"

He turned around and kicked the ball, which slipped along the ground towards the far corner of the goal.

This was a high-quality shot. Evans showed his expected level and the whole shooting process was done in one go!
The goal guarded by Ashdown was lost again.

He was too tall and slow to land, so he couldn't intercept such a shot.

The football hit the side net and then spun all the way into the inner net!
Two to zero!
Sheffield United is in a very good situation!
"Oh!" The home team fans burst into cheers, and everyone related to Sheffield United joined in the wave of celebration.

Including sports equipment managers, coaches, venue staff, security personnel, etc., all hugged each other happily, raised their hands high and joined in the carnival.

As he ran towards Evans and Gilbert, Maher felt his mind suddenly become clear, and even his eyes became exceptionally clear.

[Skill: Insight lv2]

[Proficiency: (1/800)]

[Benefit: After a lot of competition training and a lot of videotapes, you have superhuman observation skills and can occasionally capture some small movements and details! ]

Observation skills improved!

This is definitely an auxiliary skill that is beneficial to his passing. It can help him improve his ability to read the game and better capture the movements of his teammates!
It can be said that Maher could only ensure the quality of the ball when crossing the ball in the past, ensuring that the ball had speed and curvature, and could pose a threat to the opponent's penalty area.

As for who to pass it to, he didn't think too much about it.

On the one hand, the crossing ability is currently only level 3, which is not the best.

On the other hand, with his current level of strength, it would be good enough if he could create an angle and pass the ball in, he has no time to observe at all.

But now, everything will be different.

He may be able to complete a rough observation in just a very short time and occasionally make a precise strike!

"Gilbert, you have really blossomed in assists."

Maher didn't think too much about it. At the moment, he was still in a celebrating mood. The improvement in his observation was a double happiness, so he decided to celebrate together.

"We watch videos together often, do you think only your basketball IQ has improved?"

Gilbert smiled arrogantly, and said proudly, "Of course I am not a pushover. Even a genius like you has admitted that I have a good talent."

"Good good."

Maher didn't know what to say to him, so Sanyo just gave him a high five.

He thought about it and wondered whether as long as people believed in who they were, they could really develop in that direction slowly?

The first half of the game ended like this, and Sheffield United returned to the locker room with a 2-0 lead. When adjusting the deployment, Gary Speed ​​specifically mentioned the conflict in the first half, and his expression was not very good. "Michael Brown is a well-known bad boy in the league, and his red card rate is very high.

"After suffering a loss in the first half, he will definitely not let it go. In the second half, we must be careful of his revenge."

He turned his gaze to Mahel and Gilbert in the corner, "Especially the two of you who are directly involved in the conflict. There is a British proverb that says, I am not afraid of the devil, but I am afraid of the devil."

As he said this, he pulled out the tactical board and said, “The above is based on your personal considerations. From the team’s perspective, I have observed that Michael Brown’s mind is no longer on the court.

"He was a vital part of the Portsmouth defence but was often out of position and their left centre-back was constantly moving out to cover for him.

"You have to keep this in mind. Look for opportunities to catch him when he's out of position. Use the gap left by the left center back. Do you understand?"

The players nodded and Maher took note.

Sometimes, the game on the court depends on one or two people.

They are all highly professional teams, and most of the players have basic qualities.

It is far less effective to find the shortcomings of one or two of them and focus on attacking them than to try to find loopholes in them.

"Are you worried?"

Gilbert turned to him and asked, "Are you scared?"

Maher didn’t react at first, but after thinking for a moment he realized he was talking about Michael Brown’s revenge, “No, but I’ll be careful.”

“This was originally meant for me.”

Gilbert lowered his head, and when he raised it again, his eyes were fierce, "If he wants to retaliate against you, then you can try to see how I will repay you."

"Don't say that."

Maher smiled slightly and shook his head: "Protect yourself first. We will definitely encounter such people often in the future."

Gilbert didn't say anything else, but judging by his expression, he must be still thinking about something.

"Blade! Blade!! Blade!!"

When the second half of the game started, the fans organized a neat cheering activity. They beat drums and shouted the team totem loudly.

Maher stayed on the wing, keeping an eye on Michael Brown.

If we were to ask who is best at catching the opponent out of position, it would be him, apart from the center forward Bolodanovic who is closer to this side.

As long as Michael Brown is careless and the opponent's left center back is forced to step forward to assist in defense, he can quickly insert himself into the ribs!
He kept running, waiting for this opportunity.

After observation and improvement, he was found to have this ability, which also gave rise to his ambition in this regard!

Finally, it was the 63rd minute of the game.

"Oh!"

When Mahel tried to run into the gap behind the opponent's left center back for the third time, Januhans' pass arrived!

This was a ground pass, which was not difficult to stop. Maher carried the ball directly into the penalty area. From the corner of his eye he saw many fans standing up from their seats.

"Don't break the rules!"

"Assist in defense, assist in defense!"

The Portsmouth players shouted in panic, their left center back and Michael Brown quickly chased back, and people on both sides also chased Mahel.

But it was obviously too late.

After his speed reaches level 2, even if Maher does not yet have the means to overtake violently, if he rushes forward, he will not be overtaken by ordinary people.

In this one-on-one shot, there was only a battle between him and the goalkeeper, and the others could only put some pressure!
