The ball went in!
One to one!
Maher's shot equalized the score for Arsenal U17 team, and the two teams returned to the same starting line.
"Yeah...!!"
"Oh! There was a kick, who is that kid?"
"Great job!"
The Arsenal fans on the sidelines cheered, and many people stood up and applauded to celebrate Maher's goal.
Although they were bystanders, they could also clearly feel the pleasure of hitting the net with great force.
In their hearts, this team is not only the club's team, but also their team, and these kids are also their future.
Some people even shouted that they hope to see you in the first team to encourage Maher.
In the coaching booth, Hans quickly stood up and applauded, with joy on his face, staring at Maher's back.
I don't know if he was more happy about the team's equalization or more happy about seeing Maher's crazy improvement recently.
"Very good long shot."
A somewhat sudden voice sounded from Wenger behind him. He actually took the initiative to speak, "This is all from his recent long shot practice, right?"
"I think so, Mr. Wenger."
Hans's expression was obviously a little surprised. He didn't know that Wenger was also concerned about Maher. "I have reminded him many times to pay more attention to his body and not to overtrain, but it still couldn't stop him.
"He seems to have a kind of obsession and will not give up until he achieves his goal. I wonder if it is related to his family environment."
Wenger nodded and subconsciously said: "If possible, let him..."
As if he felt that it was a bit inappropriate to say this, he immediately changed his words: "Forget it, you are the head coach of U17, I shouldn't say this."
Hans didn't respond, but he already understood something.
To be honest, after this goal, he and Mr. Wenger's views were almost the same.
Near the Liverpool penalty area, Arsenal players saw the ball enter the net, their expressions lit up, and they rushed towards Maher with exclamations.
"Beautiful! ! "
"I knew this kick would go in!"
"It's much easier to play with a 1-1 score."
Most of them were impressed by Maher's improved strength, only Ian and other diehards were still guarding the backcourt, not coming over or saying anything.
After scoring the goal, Maher laughed out loud, he felt a flame of excitement in his heart, a force rising from his body, prompting him to run to the corner flag area to celebrate.
He didn't know if this was learned from the stars on TV, or if it was an instinct when people are excited.
In short, the feeling of scoring a goal is great!
"Although it's not my assist."
Captain Gilbert was the first to run to him and lifted him up high, "But the corner kick was assisted by me, so I still have some sense of participation."
"There will be more. "
Mael smiled confidently, he felt that the game would not end like this.
...
After a short celebration, the game returned to normal again.
When the game time exceeded 30 minutes, the players of both sides slowly adapted to each other's rhythm, and the balance on the field gradually fell towards Liverpool.
After all, they played all the main players this time, while Arsenal only had four main players.
At the beginning, everyone may play more conservatively and follow the rules, but once they let go, some gaps will slowly appear.
"Bang! !"
"Swish! !"
This gap also slowly appeared on the field. Liverpool continued to launch threatening attacks. There was a panic in front of the Arsenal goal, and footballs kept coming at a high speed.
In the 44th minute of the game, Liverpool's second goal came.
"Bang! "
They launched a wave of offensive climax in the frontcourt, first completing the first header with a cross from the bottom. After the ball was saved by Arsenal goalkeeper Hopkins, Liverpool No. 9 followed up with a supplementary shot.
"Clang!" This shot was unlucky, hitting the post and flying back into the penalty area.
Fortunately, another Liverpool midfielder followed up and shot the ball with the instep of the foot to complete the final goal.
Two to one!
Liverpool's players rushed to the sidelines with a smile on their faces again. The player who scored quietly turned his head to look at Wenger on the sidelines, hoping to attract attention.
But Wenger had no time to pay attention to them at this time. He was frowning at the team's midfield and backcourt defense, with disappointment in the corners of his eyes.
In their own penalty area, losing two penalty kicks in a row was a fatal mistake.
"Return to defense! There are not enough people!"
Ian on the court spread his hands, with an anxious expression on his face, "We pressed for a long time, but no one came back. "
"Eight people near the penalty area, including the goalkeeper, is not a small number."
Captain Gilbert glared at him. He already had some disgust for this man. He yelled when the ball was lost. I really didn't know who he was trying to offend.
"If we had used all the main players, we wouldn't have lost the ball."
Ian was relentless and had a sense of superiority. Especially after seeing many trial players lowering their heads in self-blame, he became even more aggressive: "I really don't know how some people play and how they wear Arsenal jerseys?"
This time, it was not only Gilbert and Maher who had disgust with him.
Even Wenger on the sidelines turned his head and glanced at Hans, "This man..."
"I will definitely deal with it when I come down. "
Hans gritted his teeth secretly, and wanted to send Ian to hell.
What Arsenal was suffering at the moment was far from over. After a fifteen-minute halftime break, the second half of the game resumed.
Liverpool continued to launch a fierce attack. Their offensive players seemed to have figured out Arsenal's strengths and weaknesses, and pressed forward in a big way, trying to keep the ball in Arsenal's half.
"Bang! !"
In the 51st minute of the game, Liverpool's No. 6 captain suddenly shot a long shot in return.
Ian hurriedly stepped forward to block the ball, but he was not smooth... He even got stuck in his teeth when drinking water. The football hit the outside of his calf and refracted, catching goalkeeper Hopkins off guard.
Another goal!
Three to one!
"Ah...! "Ian was almost going to turn evil. He stood up and lowered his head and stood there with his hands crossed.
He put Maher and others behind his mind for the time being and thought about his future. Anyway, judging from his performance today, it is unlikely that Wenger will value him.
He was a little annoyed and regretful. He should have focused more on playing football from the beginning.
"Throw the ball over, it's still early, but don't waste it all on regrets."
There was an urging voice from the frontcourt. It was Maher's voice. He seemed far from giving up.
Goalkeeper Hopkins picked up the ball, kicked it to Maher, and gave him a thumbs up.
"Damn it."
Ian was in a low mood and was very jealous of Maher's goal... If he could also have a highlight performance, then how many goals the team lost would have nothing to do with him.
"Beep! "
The game was restarted afterwards, and Arsenal's aggressive momentum was obviously dampened. Only a few people still had fighting spirit in their eyes.
They didn't keep the ball for too long after the restart, and were taken away by Liverpool players again, who began to besiege them.
It seemed that they were trapped in a vicious circle. Arsenal players couldn't find any breakthroughs and seemed a little powerless.
Until the 67th minute of the game, the team captain Gilbert started his performance after receiving a pass from Maher.
"Bang bang bang..."
He dribbled the ball directly to Liverpool's back line, touching the ball with the outside of his right foot at a high frequency, and his body center of gravity kept moving, making confusing movements.
One flick, one dunk, and another dunk, dribbling the ball forward!
Suddenly, he broke through the three-man double team of Liverpool and rushed into the opponent's penalty area.
"Bang! "
The final push shot was like the perfect ending to a gorgeous waltz, light and chic.
Two to three!
There is still a chance!
Captain Gilbert used a highlight moment to show why he is the captain of Arsenal and why he should be in charge of the central axis today.
