Chapter 87 - Chapter 86

Goal!!!

Alexandre Song scored a thunderous world-class goal, helping Arsenal take the lead.

Arsenal took a 1:0 lead at home.

That goal was too beautiful!!!

Goalkeeper Piatov was completely helpless, only able to watch the ball Fly into the net.

In the 30th minute of the match.

Fabregas made another forward through ball, Fly instantly accelerated, successfully beating the offside trap to go one-on-one, and facing the charging Piatov, he directly chipped the ball.

The ball, accompanied by a few blades of grass, just managed to clear Piatov's outstretched fingertips and dropped into the net.

Arsenal extended their lead to 2:0.

GOOOOOOOOAL!!!

Number 13, Fly Adams.

Oh, god, I'm speechless, Fly has scored again.

His Champions League goal tally has now reached 7, just two less than last year's Champions League Golden Boot winner Messi.

But the latter took a whole season, while Fly has currently only taken less than three games.

I have reason to believe that Fly will continue to score in this match.

The gap in strength between Shakhtar Donetsk and Arsenal is simply too large!

This kind of opponent is the perfect opportunity for Fly to rack up goals.

Back to the match.

Shakhtar Donetsk were already 0:2 down just 30 minutes into the match, basically indicating that this match was heading for a rout.

Because if a weaker team concedes too early, their overall formation will be forced to push up to organize attacks.

This way, the space behind them becomes larger, and it becomes much easier for the stronger team to launch threatening attacks.

With this ebb and flow, as long as the stronger team's forwards are good enough at seizing opportunities, they can achieve a rout.

Of course, if the weaker team directly chooses to give up on this match and just park the bus all the way without attacking, they could avoid a rout.

But once a coach chooses to actively give up on a match, he will definitely face immense public pressure.

Not only will the team's fans be dissatisfied, but even the club's higher-ups might be unhappy.

By then, it's uncertain if this coach can even keep his job, let alone anything else?

This is also why many weaker team coaches know that attacking will likely lead to a rout, but still grit their teeth and push forward.

In their view, whether being routed is shameful is not that important.

Compared to his job, it's nothing!

Shakhtar Donetsk's coach also held this idea, so with a wave of his hand, he directly ordered the Shakhtar Donetsk players to push forward en masse.

Fly swore, he really didn't want to be a goal-scorer, but other teams were forcing him to be one!

With the defense pushed up so high, how could he not gladly accept it?

In the 42nd minute of the match.

Alexandre Song made a long pass to Nasri who was pushing up on the wing.

After Nasri dribbled forward for fifteen meters, he saw Fly raising his hand on the edge of the left side of the penalty area, asking for the ball.

But this time, Nasri didn't pass, but instead took a shot himself.

Perhaps his foot was hot, everything he kicked went in.

Nasri's long-range shot went directly into the top corner, leaving any goalkeeper with no choice but to watch it go in.

GOOOOOOOAL!!!

Number 8, Nasri.

Oh, My god, look at the quality of this long-range shot, a flawless top corner, it's too beautiful!

Even if Buffon were to try and save this shot, he wouldn't be able to.

Piatov has done his best, he can't be blamed for this shot.

As the halftime whistle blew, Arsenal led Shakhtar Donetsk 3:0.

Fly played exceptionally easily in this match, feeling like he barely broke a sweat, and the first half was already over.

But thinking about it, it makes sense, Arsenal fielded five midfielders in this match, the ball was always under Arsenal's control, and he, as a forward, just needed to wait up front for chances.

This kind of playing style is indeed good for his health.

The most crucial thing was that Wenger did not assign Fly any defensive duties, meaning that even if Fly just stood there upfront watching his teammates play, it would be allowed.

Fly said, who else gets such a close-up viewing seat?

After the second half began, Shakhtar Donetsk made their first substitution.

They brought on Douglas Costa, known as "Gou Sheng", replacing the Brazilian Willian, who later played for Arsenal for a season.

In the 59th minute of the match.

Alexandre Song made another long pass, the ball directly cutting through Shakhtar Donetsk's midfield and defense.

Fly activated his speed mode, reaching the ball before Rat and Kucher.

But before Fly could make his next move, Rat and Kucher both slid in, directly tackling Fly awkwardly.

Beep----

A sharp whistle sounded, the Main Referee immediately ran into the penalty area, took out the yellow card from the upper left pocket of his shirt, and gave a yellow card to Rat and Kucher respectively.

He then pointed his finger to the penalty spot, and Arsenal were awarded a penalty.

Fly, pretending, rolled around on the ground a few times, and only slowly got up after Wilshere subtly reminded him.

Hmm... Fly does have a big star girlfriend after all, so it's not too much to ask for a little acting skill, right?

What? Taylor is a singer, not an actress?

Fly said it doesn't matter!

It's pretty much the same anyway.

Wenger on the sideline saw that Fly was fouled violently again, instantly became furious, and immediately ran to the Fourth Official to start shouting.

Fortunately, his assistant coach reminded him in time, pointing to Fly's position.

Arsène Wenger saw Fly slowly getting up, and then seeing that the person talking to him next to him was Wilshere, he knew it was a false alarm again.

"No, there's no suspense in this match anymore, I need to take him off to prevent him from getting seriously injured later."

Wenger shook his head and still decided to substitute Fly early.

Looking at the bench, and considering the score of this match, Wenger called Chamakh and Hazard to warm up together.

He planned to make two substitutions at once.

Fly stretched his legs, took the ball handed to him by Fabregas, and stood at the penalty spot.

I have to say, Cesc Fàbregas still knows how to act, he didn't even compete with himself for the penalty rights.

After all, the nominal first penalty taker at Arsenal right now is Fabregas, but he still gave the ball to Fly.

Just for this point, Fabregas is someone you can get along with.

Although Fly didn't know why such a high-EQ person would do something so outrageous in the future as "putting on a Barcelona jersey for himself".

But it doesn't matter, as long as he is at Arsenal for a day, he thinks this guy is good.

After all, being able to actively take the lead in helping him compete for the Golden Boot, Fly really couldn't hate him.
