Chapter 67 Even a Pig Could Kick That In!

Arsenal's full-backs had already assisted in the dangerous area of Norwich's half. When they lost possession, their retreat was undeniably fast, but they never expected the goalkeeper to fail to observe the situation on the field. After gaining possession, he didn't even stabilize to control the ball and buy time.

Instead, he directly threw the ball to Zhao Gang.

This was different from a defensive team completely in a passive position!

Even more disadvantageous for Arsenal was that Zhao Gang was constantly drifting, not participating in the defense at all, and no one was marking him.

By the time the full-back rushed towards Zhao Gang, he had even calmly adjusted himself. When Heero's speed was at full throttle, and he was about to pass the last defender, the ball at Zhao Gang's feet precisely went over the Arsenal player's head.

Whoosh!

The moment the pass was made, Heero's body was almost parallel to the Arsenal defender's position.

The Arsenal players were still observing Zhao Gang's passing route, while Heero was at full speed!

By the time the defenders realized something was wrong, Heero had already shaken them off by two body lengths on the right!

The fans at Carrow Road all stood up, holding their breath, their eyes wide.

They craned their necks, mouths open, watching Heero take the lead and rush towards the penalty area.

The center-back defending Ospina quickly filled the gap, swung his long legs, and rushed towards Heero along a diagonal line.

"Heero! Heero!" Brooke stood up, clenched his fist, and shouted excitedly.

The experienced center-back didn't rush to tackle immediately, but kept approaching, blocking Heero's shooting angle and reducing his chances of success.

The Arsenal defender behind Heero finally caught up, thanks to the center-back's delay.

He came from the side, trying to cooperate with the center-back to completely cut off Heero's shooting route.

"Aiya!" Brooke slammed the table hard. On the field, things changed in an instant, and it was not easy to get a great shooting opportunity.

Perhaps there were only 0.5 seconds before the defender would come to cover.

Once a one-on-one opportunity was missed, it would be difficult to break through and score.

"Opportunity... seize it! What's going on?"

Brooke saw a clear pause from Heero. The center-back had already blocked most of the route, and another defender was also providing rapid support. This attacking opportunity was about to be wasted!

Seeing Heero forcibly kicking the ball, the Arsenal goalkeeper spread his arms, with almost the same movement as Hull, and then his center of gravity quickly sank to prevent being scored on the near post.

The other angles were blocked by the center-back, his goalkeeping partner.

If this kind of ball could curl into a far corner goal, then it would be impossible to save, and the goalkeeper couldn't do anything!

"The angle of this ball is completely blocked..." Shen Jian said with some regret. A second ago, if it had been a second ago, before the center-back was in position, Heero would have had a chance to kick the ball.

His ability to seize opportunities was still a bit lacking.

"Oh..." Shen Jian suddenly widened his eyes, excitedly and surprised.

"Heero didn't choose to shoot himself! He passed it through the center-back's legs to the center!"

"Ospina!"

"Goal! Goal! Heero's cross, Ospina followed up and scored!"

The goalkeeper's attention had been completely drawn to Heero, so the center was wide open!

"This pie was fed right into his throat! Even Ospina's grandma could kick it in!" Brooke roared and frantically slammed the table.

2:1!

Sixty-five minutes into the game, Norwich had one more player, but the situation still didn't look good. Ospina scored twice with headers and volleys, turning the score around!

Ospina clenched his fists and roared at the sky.

Heero rushed over, jumped directly onto his back, and raised his right hand high.

The fans' passion was instantly ignited.

"Heero!"

"Ospina!"

Shouts broke through the clouds.

Ospina carried Heero on his back and rushed towards the center circle. Then, he used both hands to lift Zhao Gang up from under his armpits, opening his big mouth as if he was going to eat Zhao Gang.

Farke stood on the sidelines, in a horse stance, punching the air.

Yes! Yes!

"I really didn't expect Heero to choose to pass the ball!" Shen Jian couldn't help but sigh. This was the reason for his surprise earlier.

"That's right, Heero's skills are top-notch in the entire Norwich team. He has the ability to pass, but he has never had the intention to pass. Especially to a newcomer like Ospina who has just been promoted, Heero is even less likely to choose to pass.

His style of play is still quite individualistic, similar to Sanchez just now. He usually doesn't choose to cross in these kinds of situations.

In fact, Szczesny probably didn't expect Heero to choose to pass the ball either. Before the game, Wenger would definitely analyze the characteristics of the Norwich players and definitely tell the defenders and goalkeeper not to worry about his passes when defending Heero!

Unexpectedly, Heero passed the ball. It's indeed a bit unbelievable."

Players who are used to fighting alone, once they have a shooting opportunity, only see the goal and absolutely won't see their teammates.

They only choose to pass back when there is no opportunity.

Heero is such a player.

Passionate, skilled, strong, but also somewhat arrogant and blind to his teammates.

With a little attention, you can see his characteristics.

But today, he saw Ospina and chose to cross!

"In my impression, it seems like he has only fed Zhao Gang the ball once! This should be the second time!"

"Yes, yes, his skills and personality are very distinct! He can boost the morale of his teammates, and he can also scold them for making bad choices.

But since his return, he has rarely criticized his teammates. What's even more terrifying is that he has actually learned to share possession of the ball, which is definitely great news for Norwich."

"Director Zhang, what do you think is the reason for his transformation?"

"Haha..."

"I'm asking seriously!"

"If I say it, will the fans think I'm praising Zhao Gang?"

"If I say it, all the fans will think I'm boasting, but you're different, haha..."

"I just personally think that it's really because of Zhao Gang. During Heero's injury, Zhao Gang scored goals in consecutive games, bringing Norwich to a terrifying height. This is something that Heero couldn't do. Heero must be very happy, but he must also be panicked, and even jealous of Zhao Gang!

But after his return, he found that Zhao Gang was retreating, not competing with him for shooting and scoring opportunities.

He could even be very selfless and provide precise assists. Every pass from Zhao Gang was the best choice, and he helped Heero rebuild his confidence on the field!

It's difficult for a proud player like Heero to admire any player. But he saw Zhao Gang's initiative to retreat and assist, saw Zhao Gang's lack of competition, and even sacrificed his consecutive scoring record to give him the penalty in order to help him score and regain his confidence.

Seeing that everything Zhao Gang did was to make his teammates stronger and the team stronger, his competitive and straightforward personality was definitely very touched and admired everything Zhao Gang did!

When Zhao Gang showed his jersey at Old Trafford, Heero was the first to rush over, acting as a loyal knight.

So, I think his transformation, his willingness to share possession of the ball, is entirely due to Zhao Gang's style of play and personal charm.

It can even be said more exaggeratedly that he is learning from his idol!"

"Haha... everyone heard that, this isn't what the Zhao-praising leader said! This is what the famous commentator Zhang Lu said! And Director Zhang usually doesn't talk much, it's rare for him to say so much, so the credibility is very high, right?"

"But it is indeed a fact! There is only this explanation."

On the field, Ospina was jumping up and down, clenching his fists.

"Ospina is very happy today, the team's two big shots are taking turns making pies for him," Rod said, looking at the excited Ospina.

"Even a pig could head it in, and his grandma could kick it in. I could do it myself." Brooke's words were sarcastic, but his tone was gratified, like an elder casually being humble when others praised his child.
