Chapter 15 Surprise and joy!

Arsenal, who played at home, did make a lot of preparations before the game. Mourinho has detailed arrangements from offense to defense. Although they are about to face the new "Young Guards", they also have to face the greatest and most terrifying frontline killer on the planet... Shaq!

If this defense is not done well, you can only wait to die!

The 30-year-old Shaq still makes his opponents extremely awe. After returning to England this season, Shaq has scored 25 goals in 10 games and scored 14 goals in 8 league games. Facing such Shaq, no one dares to say that he can definitely defend him.

Mourinho's strategy against Shaq is just to try his best to control his danger. He has no intention of blocking Shaq. After all, that is not realistic, but for the rest of Leeds United, Mourinho asked his players to keep a close eye on them.

The Portuguese team always has a strong defense line, and now that the Gunners are no exception. A back line composed of Australian left-back Papadopoulos, England international Sparks, Brazil international Robert Nho and Greek international Valecio are almost world-class.

Arsenal, who has always been good at attacking, has become more balanced under Mourinho's training, and has also made them stronger. Last season, their conceded the least of the 20 Premier League teams. Although the number of goals scored was not as good as Leeds United this season, they conceded only 2 goals, making them the best team in defense.

Mourinho has confidence in his team's defense, but he didn't expect that his team's luck would be so...bad!

The game started in just over twenty seconds...it was more than twenty seconds instead of twenty minutes!

Leeds United, which was the first to kick off, has not lost the ball yet. Robert Niho pushed Shake down from behind when defending Shake. The referee gave Leeds United a set piece outside the top of the penalty area facing the goal, about 30 yards or 27 meters away.

After Shaq, who was sitting on the ground, was pulled up by the Brazilian central defender. After patting the Brazilian's shoulder and sending his opponent away, he smiled helplessly: Damn! I am really old? This level of foul can push me down? If it were before... I would have passed you!

Although he didn't want to admit it, Shaq was still very clear that his condition had declined very significantly, especially in terms of physical fitness. Even if he had increased the training volume, based on the judgment of "Black Feet". At present, his explosiveness, flexibility, balance, and physical fitness have also dropped to 15, leaving only the bounce, speed, endurance, strength and 16. Otherwise... even if Robert Neo is 25 years old, he can't shake Shaq.

"Shake, how about it? Can you still take the penalty kick!?"

Leeds captain Jonny Hausen came over, Shaq lowered his voice and said, "No problem! But... Jonny, I think you should play this ball. I'll cover you and give them a surprise when you shoot directly!"

"This...is no problem!"

Jonny Hausen hesitated for a moment and agreed. Because this is obviously more in line with the team's interests!

As Shaq's good brother, Jonny Hausen is very clear about Shaq's deterrence and ability to attract firepower. If Shaq covers himself, there will definitely be problems with the opponent's defense, and he will have a chance to score.

Over the years, Jonny Hausen has always been practicing his free kick skills. Now at the age of 32, he has mastered his free kick skills and lived a life like an ascetic. He is definitely a model for all professional players. His great ideal of making the stands on the Elland Road Stadium named him. It has not yet been realized!

Jonny Hausen stood there and placed the ball first, Shaq also bent down and "fiddled". In fact, his hand did not touch the ball at all, but Shaq's movements interfered with Arsenal's defense.

Normally, players who take free kicks are used to placing the ball they want to kick in their own hands. Once this habit is violated, the quality of the free throws will drop by at least 50%.

So Shaq's artificiality made Arsenal's Argentine goalkeeper Sergio Romero suddenly nervous, and his attention was unknowingly focused on Shaq. Even Arsenal's wall, they forgot a little bit. That is, experience... sometimes it can also cheat people!

"Beep————”

The referee blew the whistle, and Shaq began to run from left to right and rushed towards the ball, and his gaze also looked towards the right side of the Arsenal goal...

Will Shaq kick this ball to the upper right corner?

For everyone's hearts, Shaq's long shots have always been good at fast speed and tricky angles. Although he is also very powerful, he is obviously not as threatening as the two in front.

During the entire process of Shaq running towards the ball, Jonny Hausen stood more than one meter away from the ball with his hands, but his eyes were always observing everything in front of Arsenal's goal.

"Swoosh!"

Shaq jumped over the ball!

ah!?

In the Emirates Stadium, the "Gunners" fans opened their mouths in shock... What are they going to do?

"Bang!"

The next moment, Jonny Hausen assisted with a step, and his right foot was tied to the lawn beside the ball. While his body was rotating, his left leg was swung out like a whip, and finally his left foot was thrust hard at the bottom right of the ball!

"Swoosh!"

Shaq, who had already stood still, turned his head and the ball had already swung past him. The ball was kicked by Jonny Hausen and flew away from the left side of the Arsenal wall, and flew into the upper left corner of the Arsenal goal in a big arc!

Romero's center of gravity had already moved to the other side, but he quickly reacted and moved back. Unfortunately, although Captain Leeds's arc ball did not hit the dead corner in the upper left corner of the Arsenal goal, it was not far apart, and the ball was very fast!

"ah!"

Seeing that he couldn't keep up, Romero roared and jumped up, leaned his body in the air and stretched out his right hand, but he couldn't touch the ball in the end. He watched the ball fly over from his fingertips with a "swoosh"... and finally hit the white ball net!

"goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Captain Leeds roared with a ferocious face. White figures on the green field moved and all ran up. Less than a minute after the game, the captain's goal... was so morale-increasing!

All Arsenal's side in the Emirates Stadium were silent, including Mourinho, and his face was incredible. Why didn't the game start a minute? Leeds United's first free kick, his first shot, and his team conceded the ball!?

And... it seems that Arsenal hasn't even encountered the ball yet!

Leeds United cheered, but Arsenal seemed a little stunned. Fortunately, Mourinho was also a knowledgeable coach. He immediately issued an order to his players on the sidelines: "Stay calm! Don't care! That's just their luck! There are ninety minutes left in the game, don't worry! Play according to our tactics! Time... we have time!"

Mourinho's shouting may not be heard by Arsenal players, but everyone saw the action of slapping his watch on his wrist, and they also understood the head coach's meaning. Thinking that the game had just begun, they had not yet shown their strength, they naturally calmed down.

The "Gunners"'s offense has always been very sharp. From the ground advancement and tactical style of control that he has pursued in the era of "Professor" Wenger, this has not changed much by Mourinho. The Portuguese have only improved the efficiency of the offensive.

Arsenal, who calmed down, began to try to control the game. After a little tangled with Leeds United in the midfield, they started the offense. At this time, the game time had already reached four minutes, but obviously... it was not too late!

The 32-year-old Welsh midfielder Ramsey launched the offensive first. He passed the ball to the French wing player Dambetti on the left. The Frenchman passed the ball to the 26-year-old Italian striker Stefano Sack. The Italian controlled it for a little while and then passed it back to the French midfielder Valli.

After the French dribbled the ball and ran forward a few steps, they passed it horizontally to England international Barkley, and then the English midfielder made a straight pass and sent the ball to Leeds United's penalty area on the right!

"Little Fatty" Rooney, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed in after getting rid of Ben Parker. When he controlled the ball in the corner of the small penalty area on the right side of Leeds United, everyone thought he was about to shoot, a wonderful scene appeared!

"Bang!"

Rooney did not shoot, but instead hurriedly stopped the ball, which also made him dodge Ben Parker's fall-off shovel again!

"dream!"

Ben Parker is not young anymore. However, he still reacted quickly. He stood up almost in the instant of 0.1 second, blocking Rooney's shooting angle.

But... Rooney didn't shoot!

"Bang!"

Rooney raised his right foot again, pushed the arch and passed the ball across the middle!

The follow-up Sak appeared!

Just because he wanted to get rid of Ben Parker's defense, Rooney was too fast when passing the cross. The arch could not push the force with just one push, and the ball rolled on the ground was half a beat slower.

After Sach, who had already made a shooting move, the Italian forward, who inherited the flexibility, keenness, and accuracy of the Italian forward, had a clear pause in his right calf, and then he kicked out and touched the ball!

"Bang!"

Sack's shot failed to gain strength, but because he was already in the Leeds United's small penalty area, he was only more than one meter away from Diaz. Although this ball did not gain strength, as long as the angle was enough to avoid Diaz, it would be enough.

And the Italian striker did this!

The ball flew out diagonally and flew slowly into the goal from Diaz's right foot... The ball entered!
