Heinz returned to the defensive box and followed Ljungberg closely. His hands were still pulling and pulling.
The reason why Henry was alone in the middle was simple. He had to do his best to contain Manchester United's two center backs.
It was difficult for Silvestre and Ferdinand to block Henry one-on-one. Under such circumstances, Manchester United's two center backs had only one choice: retreat.
Otherwise, it was very likely that Qin Xiong would directly change directions and find an opening to break through, because their attention would be on Qin Xiong.
What was unexpected was that another player, who dribbled faster than Qin Xiong, quickly cut into the penalty area!
Ashley Cole!
Gary Neville had to withdraw into the box to block Ashley Cole's advance.
At that moment, Qin Xiong passed the ball!
The football rolled towards Ashley Cole.
Ashley Cole saw the trajectory of the football and immediately cried out in his heart. How could he give a ball at his feet?
He rushed up at the speed of a sprint. Obviously, it was impossible for him to stop in place to receive Qin Xiong's pass.
When he slowed down and wanted to turn back to stop the ball, Gary Neville also came to a sudden stop.
When the two men saw the football roll behind Ashley Cole, Ashley Cole was relieved, and Gary Neville turned pale with fright!
Pires!
Qin Xiong did not pass the ball to Ashley Cole, but to Pires, who was unexpectedly used by Ashley Cole as the vanguard and ambushed at the back!
Pires charged diagonally from less than two meters away from Neville and took the football away at the same time!
Neville had just come to a sudden stop. When he turned around, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
After Pires charged diagonally into the box, he originally intended to pass the ball. But when he found that Neville had lost his balance and fell to the ground, he changed his mind. His right foot kicked the ball horizontally to adjust the space for the shot. Even if Ferdinand rushed to the rescue, he could only watch the ball and sigh!
Pires' right foot hooked an inside curveball. The football bypassed the goalkeeper, Carroll, and went straight to the corner inside the far post!
"Pires equalized for Arsenal! Arsenal's offensive coordination was once again unstoppable, and Qin Xiong once again delivered an indescribable assist after breaking through Keane! "
Keane's face was gloomy and full of anger. How could he remain calm after being played by a young player who was not even 20 years old?
Ferguson was also shocked.
Qin Xiong's growth in the Premier League this season has been too fast!
His technical ability was more skillful, and his ability to read the overall situation of the game was more skillful. His decisiveness in handling the ball and his choice of timing were more reasonable.
He used to be very optimistic about Qin Xiong, but Manchester United could not meet Qin Xiong's requirements. Perhaps today, Qin Xiong and Ferguson would have new uses and trust in him more, but they could not go back to the past.
Manchester United almost had the three most anticipated U21 talented players in 2004, and among them, Qin Xiong, who won the European Golden Boy award, was already the main force in Arsenal's formation, the core of the midfield!
After Pires celebrated the goal, Arsenal's players walked to the backfield. Qin Xiong and Vieira had an exchange. It could be said that one of them was the core of the offensive organization, and the other was the commander of the defense. The two of them represented offense and defense. The exchange in the game was indispensable, and Qin Xiong learned a lot from Vieira.
After Manchester United restarted the ball, Arsenal's formation was slightly more conservative.
Manchester United's offense was still concentrated on the right flank, but when Scholes shifted the attack to the left flank in a large area in the 77th minute of the game, Manchester United originally thought it would work wonders. The so-called diversion tactic, quickly shifting the attack and making full use of the two flanks, was Manchester United's traditional way of playing.
But Arsenal was clearly prepared.
After Ronaldo used his footwork skills to bypass Lauren, Qin Xiong suddenly appeared in front of him. Qin Xiong cut across and destroyed the football at Ronaldo's feet with a kick.
Ronaldo was not very familiar with the winger's style of cutting across to shoot. In the first half of the season, he still played the main role as a right-footed player on the right flank.
The two goals in today's game gave him a new feeling. At the same time, he also had to admit that when Qin Xiong occasionally performed a left-side cut and shot with his right foot in the Premier League, and Chelsea's Robben cut across the right flank and shot with his left foot, showing a frightening threat, they were influencing the role transformation of the winger of an era!
If Qin Xiong took the initiative to help Lauren defend against Ronaldo, his offensive threat would be greatly reduced.
This was also an illusion to confuse Manchester United and make Manchester United lower their vigilance.
Qin Xiong's position suddenly looked close to the rear penalty area. But two minutes later, Ljungberg took the initiative to come back and stabilize the defense. He successfully pincer-attacked Ronaldo with Lauren and intercepted the ball. Then Lauren passed the ball to Qin Xiong, who was still in his own half of the field.
After Qin Xiong stopped the ball, he made a long pass and kicked the ball to the left flank of the team's midfield.
No one expected Henry to come back here to provide support.
When the team was in a passive position in the big situation, Henry made a sacrifice.
He acted as a winger and began to play individually.
When he dribbled forward, O 'Shea came to intercept him. Henry's dribbling rhythm suddenly stopped. He pulled the ball with his right foot and looked like he was going to change direction to break through. But he sped up in front of O' Shea and kicked the ball with his right foot between O 'Shea's legs. Then the Highbury King used his speed to burst O' Shea!
After Henry dribbled, he was as fast as lightning. He changed direction five meters in front of Neville and cut into the middle. He attracted a number of Manchester United's defenders with his individual ability.
At this time, Henry did not force it. He suddenly passed the ball back. Behind him was Pires, who was rushing forward, and Pires was no longer hugging the side.
He turned to the front waist line and received Henry's pass in the area near the middle. He stopped the ball and then went straight to the right side of the penalty area!
A figure as fast as lightning charged into Manchester United's penalty area. Qin Xiong!
He got rid of Heinz in the sprint and charged into the penalty area with firm steps!
Henry covered, Pires delivered the shells, and Qin Xiong, who was hiding in the back, became the fatal threat of Manchester United's defensive line!
Carroll abandoned the goal and went out. Qin Xiong stopped the ball with his right foot in front of him. His left foot feigned a half-circle in front of the football and he stepped on the bicycle. It was only for a moment, and then his right foot kicked the ball in the direction of the end line. His movements were coherent and smooth!
Carroll was bypassed!
All the Arsenal fans in the stadium focused on Qin Xiong. Their hearts could not help but tremble. That was excitement!
Faced with about a 30-degree shooting angle, Qin Xiong's right foot steadily pushed the ball into the goal!
Huff, huff, huff …
Qin Xiong was already a little out of breath after sprinting all the way up and changing his rhythm to bypass the goalkeeper to shoot. He tried hard to calm his breathing and stood outside the end line next to the Manchester United's goal. His cold expression slowly bloomed into a smile, and soon his face was full of pride!
He turned to look around the stadium. The deafening cheers seemed to have plunged Highbury into a riot. He nodded, as if in response to the fans' cheers for him.
If Henry was the King of Highbury, then Qin Xiong was becoming the Crown Prince of Highbury after his brilliant performances!
