Chapter 70 Perfect Performance
Li Yuxin's No. 201 minute goal helped Arsenal lead Wigan [-]-[-] in the away game and entered the second half.

After Li Yuxin scored a goal with his personal ability, Wigan's players were of course not reconciled. If they failed to win Arsenal at home, they would like to advance to the League Cup final from Highbury. From the perspective of this season, this is a bit like a fantasy. Therefore, at halftime, Jewell asked the players to launch an offensive and try to equalize the score first.

At the beginning of the second half, amidst the cheers of the fans, Wigan aggressively scrambled in the midfield and launched several attacks. The combination of the two forwards, one high and one fast, made Arsenal's midfield tired for a while, while Arsenal Nana took advantage of his counterattack opportunities many times to constantly put pressure on Wigan's defense, and the two sides played very anxiously for a while.

The offense of both sides played vigorously, and the rhythm of the game changed in 8 minutes.

Connolly's low shot from Wigan was saved by Almunia. Arsenal immediately launched a counterattack. Ljungberg first passed McCulloch on the right, and then cut inward at high speed into the middle.

After receiving the ball from Ljungberg, Li Yuxin was caught in the defense of three opponents. Therefore, Li Yuxin did not choose to dribble, but cooperated with Ljungberg on the side, and then sent the ball to Ljungberg who was plugging in at high speed.

After Ljungberg got the ball, he drove several Wigan players to block Li Yuxin before he could return to the defense. He rushed into the penalty area and accelerated a few steps.

In the depths of the penalty area, Ljungberg was blocked by Dezeuu, and he had no chance. He knocked his ankle and made a pass in the middle. Polit didn't save the ball, but it was a pity that Flamini's shovel in the middle was followed. The shot slid past the goal, and Arsenal lost an excellent chance to score.

After seeing that his team escaped unharmed, Jewell finally admitted his mistake in playing against Arsenal. His team's strength is not enough to pose an absolute danger to Arsenal in ground attack.

After a few threatening attacks by Arsenal, Jewell quickly made gestures, consciously asking the players to slow down the pace of the game. Scored a goal again.

Jewell quickly replaced Skoko, removed Connolly, and changed the formation to 451. He adjusted his tactics first, and only stabilized the defense first before counterattacking, hoping to find the gap that Arsenal pressed. The players can sneak attack successfully, and when necessary, can also let Tiller play back to the striker.

The game entered the boring time of pouring the ball. After the Wigan players took the ball, they frequently poured the ball in the backcourt. Their ground attack could not open the Arsenal goal. Defensive counterattack.

Wigan played steadily here, intending to use defense to wear down Arsenal's patience, hoping that Arsenal would make mistakes, but Arsenal didn't want to, seeing the opponent shrinking like a tortoise in the half, Arsenal's offense became more and more fierce.

Hleb and Ljungberg were like two sharp knives, frequently piercing Wigan's flanks, while Li Yuxin was like an anti-aircraft gun ready at all times, frequently threatening Wigan's defense.

In the 63rd minute of the game, Ljungberg broke into the cross, Li Yuxin headed back, Abeye hit the goal from 7 meters and was cleared by De Zeuu in front of the goal line, and Silva missed a heavy blast, which was dragged off the crossbar by Pollitt; in 68 minutes, Hleb sent a corner kick, and Senderos' header was saved by Pollitt; , but Ljungberg followed up with the goal and flew directly out of the far post, missing an excellent opportunity to score.

The siege lasted for more than 20 minutes. Under the leadership of Li Yuxin, Arsenal's offense was still unabated. The offense was like a tidal wave. Although they failed many times, but in defense, the Arsenal players did not rush forward and performed very steadily on the scene.

At this time, Jewell finally became anxious. After playing for so long, although his team's defense was perfect and did not give Arsenal any chance to score, Arsenal's midfield and backcourt were not out of touch because of the team's fruitless attack. Now It was his own team that was behind, and Jewell, who was anxious, finally let his team strengthen its offense.

The Wigan players organized several ground attacks and stormed Arsenal's backcourt. At this time, it was Arsenal's turn to fight back, and Arsenal could finally take advantage of their coordination and technology.

After Xigan intercepted Roberts' ball in the backcourt, he immediately sent the ball to the feet of Flamini who advanced at high speed.

At this time, the Wigan players had just stepped forward to attack. After the ball was intercepted by Arsenal, the entire midfield line suddenly slowed down. Flamini was not greedy for the ball, and quickly distributed the ball to Hleb's side.

Hleb was still in his own half just now. After seeing Sigan steal the ball, he had already started to rush towards the opponent's court. Seeing Flamini send the ball in front of him, he regained his speed and received the ball.

Hleb's speed is very fast, and it is difficult for the Wigan players who are still behind him to catch him, but Zimbunda has quickly blocked him.

Tiller behind Hleb and Brad in the midfield have both returned to their own half. Under the delay of Zimbunda, they quickly followed Hleb and were ready to press at any time.

After dribbling the ball for 20 meters, Hleb saw that the opponent was coming, and the speed did not slow down. When he was approaching Zimbunda, he flicked his toes to the right, twisted his waist and abdomen, and quickly missed the opponent's attack The long legs turned inward and cut in.

Zimbunda saw Hleb change direction, although he lost his position, he did not move slowly, and quickly stuck to Hleb's side. At this time, Brad had come over, ready to pinch Hleb.

But after Hleb cut inside, he didn't take too much. Before Brad double-teamed, his body trend remained the same, but the ball was passed to his left foot, and the outside instep flicked, and the ball was easily sent out.

Abeye was already on the left to respond, and after Hleb sent the ball, he immediately changed direction and moved to the left again.

After Abeye got the ball, he quickly dribbled the ball to the right, and Kavanag stuck tightly to his side, getting stuck.

Abeye's breakthrough route was blocked, and there was the sound of high-speed running behind him. With a glance from the corner of his eye, Hleb had already thrown off the defender and accelerated to cover the edge. to the left.

The ball rolled, and Hleb's figure flashed out. With a flick of his toes, he quickly changed the rolling route of the ball, picked up his speed, and quickly rushed towards the penalty area.

Seeing Hleb enter the penalty area, Brad hurriedly pursued and defended, and De Zewu also began to give up Li Yuxin and came to block, while Zimbunda also followed closely behind Hleb.

At this time, Hleb was like a swimming fish. Before the three siege, he found a gap for himself to play the ball. With a flick of his right foot, the ball quickly flew over Brad's head.

The ball flew to the left side of the penalty area, where De Zeuu had already arrived, and the ball was already flying towards the left side of his chest. He accelerated to catch up and prepared to make a clearance.

But one person reacted faster than him, that is, Li Yuxin who was in the restricted area. After seeing Hleb enter the restricted area, he was ready to respond. When he found Dezeuu's supplementary defense, Li Yuxin first deliberately moved down to get closer to the small restricted area.

Henjoz, who was pulling behind him, felt a force thrown out and wanted to tighten, but Li Yuxin's burst of force was too strong and sudden, and when he followed Li Yuxin, Li Yuxin's long legs had already stretched out.

De Zewu thought that he could get the ball with certainty, but soon, there was the sound of running behind him, getting closer, he hurriedly accelerated, trying to get the ball first.

The ball appeared in Li Yuxin's line of sight, seeing that De Zewu was also speeding up to steal the ball, Li Yuxin would not let him take the lead, he raised his body, the speed increased a lot, and in an instant he stuck to De Zewu's side, De Zewu pressed against Li Yuxin, not giving an inch, and almost at the same time, the two stretched their legs to catch the ball.

Dezewu swept the ball with his long legs, but Li Yuxin stretched his legs higher. With a light tap on the toe of his right foot, the ball rose again and flew behind them. Dezewu looked back in panic, but the ball was much faster than him, and soon fell on his back.

After picking the ball, Li Yuxin has already made the next move. Seeing Henchoz coming, he half-turned his body, hit the ball with the instep of his left foot, moved his body down quickly, dribbled the ball quickly, and rushed to the small penalty area before De Zewu turned around.

Seeing Li Yuxin start again, Henjoz quickly posted it and intercepted Li Yuxin's dribbling.

But Li Yuxin's strength is not as thin as he looks on the outside. With a swipe and a stab, he uses his own acceleration to squeeze Henjoz's block, and then take a few steps to get rid of Henjoz's pull, directly forming a single sword.

When Polit saw Li Yuxin pick the ball, he had already moved to the near corner, but he didn't expect Henchoz to be so easy, so he hurried forward to block, hoping to narrow the angle of Li Yuxin's shot.

As soon as Li Yuxin threw Henjoz away, Polit had already appeared in front of him, pounced on his ball.

Seeing that Polit's long body was already in front of him, Li Yuxin did not hit the goal hastily, but accelerated the distance between the two, then his body suddenly moved to the right, and the ball jumped on his right foot, trying to jump over the opponent the moment he fell to the ground.

Polit, who had already fallen to the ground, noticed Li Yuxin's movement, and subconsciously slowed down his falling speed, shifting his left hand to the side, trying to smash the ball.

But at this moment, Li Yuxin abruptly stopped the tendency of his body. With a kick of his right foot and a thrust of his left heel, his body directly jumped over Pollitt, while the ball flew low under Pollitt's right armpit faster than that.

Li Yuxin made Politt take a small move. This small move was handed over to Li Yuxin by Henry. Not every goal has to be powerful.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~~~~~~~~~~~L, Lee, Lee tricked Pollett, scored a brilliant shot, our captain scored the second goal, qualified captain, perfect captain - Lee!!!!!!" Senk will never be short of leaks.

"Lee, Lee, Lee~~~~~~~~~~" At this time, Li Yuxin rushed to a small group of Arsenal fans, waving his left arm, signaling for more cheers from the Arsenal fans.

"Li, you've done a great job, you're a qualified captain." "Captain, you've done a great job."~~~~~~~~~~ Back in the Arsenal team, teammates hugged Li Yuxin to celebrate.

At this time, Wigan, who was two goals behind, was naturally unwilling. After the kick-off, the soldiers immediately pressed up, trying to score in the remaining seven or eight minutes.

However, Arsenal became more confident as they played more and more. They frequently used their own counterattacks to create threats in the frontcourt. Li Yuxin was still Arsenal's vanguard.

In the 808th minute of the game, Silva made a long pass from the backcourt. After Li Yuxin received the ball, he kept up with the through pass. Ljungberg successfully reversed offside, succeeded in a sneak attack, and sealed the victory 3-0.

"Di~di~di~~" With Webber's whistle, the game ended. Arsenal defeated Wigan [-]-[-] away in the first round of the League Cup semi-final, and one foot has entered the final.

"Coach Arthur, congratulations on winning the game, but can you tell us why you chose Li as the captain of this game." The reporter of the Daily Mail asked the most wanted question of the people present.

The match was won [-]-[-], and one foot had stepped into the final of the League Cup. Wenger looked very happy, with a smile all over his face, and said jokingly: "Actually, I don't know why, so I left it to him, maybe God Will, there is no reason, ha ha."

"Hehehe" ~~~~~~~~~~~ The words also caused bursts of laughter from the people present.

"Well, there's no definite reason, but I thought Lee could do well, so I gave him a chance, and he did, leading the team to victory. I'm very satisfied with the game. Wigan's players are talented and hardworking. The process of the game was far more difficult than the result showed, but fortunately, my team took the opportunity."

After Wenger won, he also praised Wigan's performance very much, after all, this is their home court.

"Li, how does it feel to be the captain for the first time?" Seeing that Wenger had nothing to say, the Daily Mirror reporter changed the topic to Li Yuxin.

"It's wonderful. I didn't expect the coach to hand over the captain's armband to me. Fortunately, I performed well. Of course, I am very grateful to my players for helping me. They supported me on the field, but I also want to thank the coach for his trust. This is the most important thing. Well, I am really grateful." Li Yuxin nodded solemnly and turned to Wenger.

"Li is indeed worthy of my trust." Wenger also nodded in relief. Wenger is indeed very satisfied with today's results, and Li Yuxin's performance did not disappoint his arrangement.In this game, Wenger sent all the main players in the midfield, but he sent Abeye's partner Li Yuxin in the frontcourt. He also wanted to see if Li Yuxin could play the leading role in the frontcourt and bet his own eyes.

"Hehehehe" "Crack-crack-crack"~~~~~ On-site reporters faithfully recorded this scene of harmony between master and apprentice.

"Javier, what do you think about this game, are you confident to advance?"

"Well, we missed some opportunities to score in this game, and Arsenal's strength is higher than ours, but the most important thing is that they have a good captain. Lee's goal made us very passive, and the goal came too early.

Arsenal played very patiently throughout this game. At one point, our perfect defense lost its meaning. The opponent did not make a mistake. On the contrary, they played very resolutely, and we advanced, um~~, the League Cup final is ours always the goal. "Javier obviously didn't have any temper after being beaten by Arsenal, but he didn't lose his confidence in fighting.~~~~~~~~~
"Li, you did a good job today." When Li Yuxin returned to the bus, Van Persie took the initiative to hand Li Yuxin a bottle of Gatorade. Today, after seeing Li Yuxin wearing the captain's armband, Van Persie was very quiet.

"Robin, believe me, you will do well." Li Yuxin has been with him for so long, how can he not know his mind, Van Persie usually seems to be joking, but when it comes to football honors, he values ​​it more than anyone else, and Van Persie has always valued the comparison with Li Yuxin.

Li Yuxin also regards him as one of his rivals, but Li Yuxin still hopes that Van Persie will not be too entangled in this issue, so as not to be depressed. Li Yuxin knows Van Persie's strength very well, not to mention that Van Persie's health is much better than in his previous life. Li Yuxin believes that he will wear the captain's armband soon, but he also secretly added a premise in his heart: when I am not on the court.

"Well, Li, I will." It was rare for Van Persie not to raise an argument, his deep eyes fixed on Li Yuxin tightly, and his face was determined.

Li Yuxin was also not to be outdone, the two looked at each other unwillingly and fell silent.

"**, don't look at me like that, I'm afraid you'll fall in love with me, and the 'Pirate Girl' will kill me!!!" Van Persie took the lead.

"Damn, Robin, have you washed your face? There's eyeballs!!!" Li Yuxin was not disappointed.

"Hahahaha"~~~~~~~~~~
"Brilliant defense, perfect offense" was the Daily Telegraph's headline for the game.

"In this game, Wigan defended beautifully, intercepted decisively, tackled fiercely, did not make any mistakes, and was not killed until the No. 80 minute.

But Arsenal's offense was even more exciting. Wenger's team was extremely patient when facing such a high-intensity defense of the opponent, constantly looking for opportunities, and did not lose their offensive advantage.

One of the most outstanding performances is their captain - Lee, it was his goal in the first half that forced Wigan to grab it at the last minute, and it was his second goal that killed the game. "

The Daily Mail of "Qualified Captain - Li" once again focused on Li Yuxin, pointing out that although Arsenal had only one captain in this game, Lee's performance was absolutely qualified, even a perfect captain's debut.

It was Lee's outstanding personal ability that helped Arsenal win the game, and at the same time made Wigan's defense meaningless.

"Arthur, Lee, Discord?No.” The BBC paid more attention to the post-match speeches between Li Yuxin and Wenger, and used a page to show the two talking, laughing and praising each other after the match.

It is pointed out that it is impossible for Lee to leave Arsenal at this time. His heart is in Arsenal, and Arthur still loves his disciple very much. He even handed over the armband of Arsenal captain to Lee when he was 18 years old. Lee is likely to spend a long time in Arsenal.
