Chapter 172 Breaking Defense
"This is a free kick opportunity that is nearly 30 meters away from the goal. It is unlikely to score by relying on a curve ball, but there is also the possibility of directly scoring."
After the referee on the court drew the free throw point, the field control gave a sufficiently accurate number, with a straight line distance of 32.5M, which is a relatively far distance for a direct free kick.
After all, if you want to bypass the wall, you must kick the ball high, and if you want to bypass the goalkeeper, you must make an arc, and these will inevitably reduce the ball speed. However, Zhan Jun and Liu Jianhong's eyes were involuntarily looking at Liu Feng.
"You know, there is indeed such a player in the Arsenal team who can directly hit the ball into the goal at this distance."
"Haha, that's right, it's our super maple."
As the two of them asked and answered, the audience's eyes gathered on Liu Feng.
"However, compared to the direct free kick with relatively small goals, Arsenal may also consider passing the ball. After all, it is easier to hang the ball into the penalty area and then score through a top or a snatch shot."
"Indeed, it depends on how Arsenal will make a decision this time."
On the stadium, Arsenal players were obviously constantly discussing this matter, and several players argued endlessly until Liu Feng slowly walked to the ball and ended.
"Ganso, Liu Feng and Wilshire both came to the front of the ball, so it seems that the Gunners are likely to choose to directly attack the free kick."
Among the three, both of them were good headers. They were standing in front of the ball at this moment, and there was only one reason, that is, after the ball was played, there was a high probability that there would be no need to compete for the top in the penalty area. Zhan Jun's guess was very reasonable.
In the stands, Stoke City fans used their biggest booing to disturb Arsenal, but they still did not suppress the shouts of the Gunners fans.
"Maple! Maple! Maple!"
At this moment, it is easier to shout Feng's name than anyone else, and Arsenal fans believe it.
When the referee signaled that everything was ready, Liu Feng also turned his head and smiled at the stands of his fans.
"Shh!!!"
"The whistle sounded, Gansuo moved first, he ran over the ball, Wilshire ran directly to the left, Liu Feng assisted two steps and hit the ball with one kick!!!"
"Bang!"
The movements of Gansuo and Wilshire were definitely not useless. After their interference, the human wall in Stoke City showed obvious movement, and at this moment, the ball that Liu Feng drew hard also instantly penetrated the gap in the human wall.
"Just hit the wall directly! This is a violent volleyball shot!!!"
"Swish!"
The goalkeeper of Stoke City never expected that the ball's ball would come from the middle of his own wall. When he realized that he wanted to save, he found that the ball's speed was so fast that he could not make any moves at all.
When the sound of the ball hitting the ball net sounded, the air on the field fell into a moment of solidification.
"boom!!!"
"The ball is in! It is in! It is in!!! Liu Feng~, he scored with his amazing shooting force and made a violent volley!"
“嘘~嘘!!!”
"Haha, the referee also blew the whistle to the end of the game. This was a draw. Liu Feng saved the unbeaten situation for the team, and a perfect shot that lived up to expectations!"
"Maple! Maple! Maple!"
At this moment, the craziest one became the Arsenal fans in the stands. They shouted and kept shaking the flags in their hands. They came from afar to watch the game and were finally not disappointed.
"It's a dramatic development. Stoke City succeeded in a 93-minute bus but broke the defense at the last minute."
"It can be said that they lost to one person. It was Liu Feng who created this free kick opportunity at the last moment and he scored it. This man has never disappointed people. He is worthy of being a superstar who brought his own 1-0 game."
"That's right."
On the court, the regrets of Stoke City people are visible to the naked eye. It is obvious that they are only one minute away from creating a miracle, but unfortunately they fell at the last moment.
However, when Stoke City coach Mark Hughes ran on the court with his hands waving his hands to hug each of his players, the atmosphere of the home team became warmer again.
They have achieved the limit they can do to get points from the invincible Arsenal team. When all competitors lose against Arsenal team, one point can determine many things. The home quota fans also sing again after regret. They feel extremely proud of their team.
The players of the two teams also came together to shake hands after the game. Many Stoke City players ran over to exchange jerseys with the Gunners' stars, and Liu Feng and others also took off their jerseys without refusing to accept them.
Although the opponent's defense has caused the game to be not good, the Arsenal players still quite agree with Stoke City. After all, they have encountered a bus in more than one game this season, and this is the first time they have been forced into a dead end by their opponent's bus.
If it weren't for Liu Feng's last free kick, this game might really be the end of Arsenal's myth. It would be really hard to say what would happen if the team's morale was declining to the end.
After all, it is now March, and the end of the season is getting closer and closer. All competitions have entered the final sprint stage. The victory or defeat of a game may determine life and death.
Therefore, when Arsenal took the bus back to London, the entire team was still immersed in the joy of surviving the disaster. Liu Feng, who saved the team, became the protagonist of the topic more than once. Everyone got home quickly as they chatted and made a fuss.
Since the team will soon play against Liverpool in the FA Cup, the professor did not choose to let the players take a vacation. The players who were not good at playing well were barely unbeaten in the league also knew that this time there was no capital to have a holiday.
So, everyone rushed back home to rest and relieved the fatigue of the away game for one day, and prepared for the usual training the next day.
Compared to the dullness of Arsenal after returning home, the reports from major media and interviews with Stoke City generals are not dull.
As a team that almost defeated Arsenal, no matter what method is used, it is qualified to become the focus of media attention. This is a treatment that Stoke City has never had before. Therefore, many news about interviews by Stoke City players have been reported to major media.
People also talked about the fact that the bus tactics are the fundamental reason for defeating Arsenal.
Of course, some people once again strengthened their belief that Liu Feng is the god of Arsenal. After all, this man really saved the team again.
