Soccer: Maxed-out ball control, the skill is too overpowered.
Chapter 526 Saka: Lu Xiao is my mentor
Sitting in the press conference seat,
Mourinho tapped his fingers on the table in frustration.
Manchester United captain Valencia, standing nearby, didn't dare to say anything and could only let Mourinho brood alone.
When Lu Xiao successfully broke the offside trap...
A one-on-one shot past De Gea found the empty net.
The moment the score was tied at 2-2 after being up 2-0.
Mourinho chickened out.
We can't go any further!
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was originally slated to come on, was pushed back to the bench.
They just sent Rashford up to play on the counter-attack.
Pogba was substituted, and Angel Herrera, who is known for his tenacity and tackling, came on.
Then, Juan Mata was replaced by "Grandpa" Blind as the defensive midfielder.
That's how they managed to hold off Arsenal's threat when they were down to 10 men.
Playing with an extra man and acting so cowardly, Mourinho is destined to be criticized by the English media and Manchester United fans.
However, at the subsequent press conference...
Mourinho stubbornly refused to admit his tactical problems.
"My tactics were perfect; it's just that some individual players didn't execute them well."
Some people don't give 100% effort in either training or competition.
This resulted in us failing to beat Arsenal at home.
Mourinho slams Manchester United players, seemingly targeting Martial and Pogba.
Manchester United infighting? Lu Xiao leads 10-man Arsenal to a draw away from home!
Lu Xiao shines in dire straits! A brace at Old Trafford helps Arsenal escape with a draw despite being at a disadvantage.
……
Arsenal held Manchester United to a 2-2 draw away from home.
On the other hand, Real Madrid won 3-0 away against Juventus, almost securing their place in the Champions League semi-finals.
Manchester City, on the other hand, played somewhat frustratingly.
At home in the Etihad Stadium, Porto managed a shocking 0-0 draw!
Manchester City could be eliminated at any time.
Being eliminated by a top team is one thing, but another.
It would be such a shame to be eliminated by Porto!
Manchester City inevitably received "special attention" from the English media after the match.
Guardiola helped his "good friend" Mourinho share a lot of the firepower.
As for the last match in the lower half of the draw...
No doubt about it.
Barcelona thrashed Roma 4-0, securing their place in the Champions League semi-finals.
The Premier League teams played a very close game.
Real Madrid and Barcelona practically made it into the semi-finals without any effort.
Many English media outlets have already begun to be pessimistic about this year's Champions League.
"Another victory for La Liga, another victory for UEFA!"
"We can only hope that Lu Xiao's Arsenal can defeat Manchester United, otherwise the Premier League will be completely out of the running for the Champions League final..."
Is this Manchester United team facing Barcelona now?
Even a Barcelona team that has declined in strength is not one that Manchester United can defeat.
What if Real Madrid and Barcelona meet in the Champions League final?
I believe that apart from the fans of both teams, no one wanted to see this outcome.
Come on, Arsenal!
"Come on!! Arsenal!!"
On Twitter, many Premier League, Bundesliga, and even Serie A fans are already hoping that Arsenal can beat Manchester United.
On the one hand, Mourinho's reputation is not good, which makes Manchester United less popular.
on the other hand,
Lu Xiao's elegant and graceful style is loved by many casual fans.
They would love to see Lu Xiao perform on the field.
If I could replicate that "quadruple miracle" in the Champions League final, I would have no regrets in this life.
……
The two Champions League knockout stage matches were only one week apart.
Arsenal did not rest after returning to London.
On the weekend of April 7th, they fielded a reserve squad against Southampton.
The goal is to allow all the key players to recover their physical strength as much as possible.
Only Mustafi, who received a red card in the Champions League, will start as a defender, and he will be temporarily unable to play in the next Champions League match.
"Don't worry, bro, I'll definitely help Southampton keep a clean sheet!"
Premier League Round 33, Arsenal vs Southampton.
As soon as Mustafi finished speaking,
Southampton took the lead with a counter-attack.
Manchester City fans quickly began mocking Arsenal on Twitter:
"Is it finally starting to collapse?"
"Manchester City's hope has arrived!"
Manchester City just beat Everton 3-1 and are now 3 points behind Arsenal with one more game played.
If Arsenal lose, the Premier League title race will be back in contention.
Sitting in the stands, Sanchez couldn't help but feel worried for his teammates.
"What should I do? I have a feeling we're going to lose today. I should have tried to make the roster."
"don’t worry."
Lu Xiao sat in the chair with his arms crossed, looking completely at ease.
Activate Jie Shiyi's [Spatial Perception]
Even from the stands, one could see the defensive gaps on Southampton's right side.
I'm sure Saka will seize the opportunity.
After regular training sessions, Lu Xiao spent a lot of time training Saka's ability to seize opportunities, and Saka has gradually grown into a qualified Premier League player.
really!
Before the end of the first half, Arsenal launched a quick counter-attack.
Saka suddenly cut in from the right.
Received a pass from Özil,
He cut past his opponent inside the penalty area, took a step to the side, and unleashed a powerful left-footed shot!
boom--
The football transformed into a shooting star and disappeared into the net.
"Saka!!!"
Arsenal teammates were happier than if they had scored themselves.
Wenger was also relieved, as he saw the team's growth!
In the second half, Saka's activity on the right flank again created opportunities for Welbeck in the penalty area.
The inverted triangle shape is given to Özil.
Özil suddenly made a diagonal pass to the far post.
Welbeck arrived in time and poked the ball into the net!
2-1!
Arsenal have completed the comeback!
They ultimately secured 3 points without major incident, maintaining their 6-point lead over Manchester City.
Saka mentioned Lu Xiao again in a post-match interview.
"Winning the champagne for the best player award is something I've always dreamed of, and I still want to say it now, even though I've said it many times before."
Thank you, Lu, you will always be my mentor!
Saka blurted out the word "Mentor," which is equivalent to the Ancient One's care for Doctor Strange, or the status of the Rat Master in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles towards the four turtles.
Upon hearing Saka's interview, Lu Xiao couldn't help but complain back in the locker room.
"Bukayo, you don't need to be so polite. I'm just giving you some simple guidance."
He's a mentor, so what is Wenger?
Saka was so uneasy after Lu Xiao said that he dared not speak.
He also realized that head coach Wenger was being overlooked.
Although Saka secured a starting position in the first team, Wenger essentially retired, and the transition to the Emery and Arteta eras began.
After all, Wenger has always had a high opinion of Saka in the youth academy.
He was promoted to the first team ahead of schedule.
That's not a proper way to put it.
Fortunately, Professor Wenger happened to pass by and patted Saka on the shoulder to encourage the young man.
"No problem, Lu's guidance has been very helpful. Perhaps you are even more outstanding than I imagined."
Thank you, Lu.
Lu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief after Wenger left.
He should thank us!
After a brief lull in the Premier League, Arsenal quickly moved on to the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final!
Manchester United in World War II!
A do-or-die match for a place in the Champions League semi-finals.
This is also a crucial battle for Lu Xiao's plan to win seven championships!
I almost crashed at Old Trafford last time.
This time back at the Emirates Stadium,
Before going on stage, Lu Xiao took a special look at the system panel. He hadn't used the system in a long time.
Lu Xiao has already accumulated at least 22 gold coins.
Enough for two consecutive 10-pulls!
"Let's see what strange character templates we have this time!"
Lu Xiao didn't think much about it for the time being.
Even if it's strange,
Is it strange that there are Tsubasa Ozora?
Then, the light of a ten-pull flashed by.
Two of the most dazzling golden rays streaked across the sky!
Lu Xiao's eyes widened instantly from a calm expression!
"Holy crap, what is this?"
