The God of Football Starts With Passive Skills
Chapter 711 132: Dribbling Past 7 Players! Arsenal Awakens! The Number One Player in the World Today! I Want to Play Like Him!
"Since when did Arsenal dare to crap all over Manchester United? Give it right back to them!"
Realizing the shift in momentum, the Manchester United fans in the stands cheered and shouted even more frantically. They practically roared their encouragement to the players on the pitch. This sudden silence followed by an explosive eruption of noise left the Arsenal players somewhat astonished.
"We still have time! Give it your all, we can definitely win!" Wang Shuo shouted at the top of his lungs from the side of the center circle. "Keep fighting!"
His voice had already grown hoarse.
"Got it!" his teammates responded.
Ferguson made another crucial substitution. It was also Manchester United's final substitution of the match, as Van Persie came on for Welbeck.
Ever since the Netherlands center forward joined Manchester United from Arsenal, he had been in a constant state of adaptation. From the first three rounds up until now, he had only made appearances as a substitute, though he had managed to score one goal. Facing Arsenal this time, Ferguson had chosen to start Welbeck to partner with Rooney, taking into consideration the complicated relationship between Van Persie and his former club.
But at this point, he could no longer afford to care about such things. This was a very obvious signal to strengthen the attack. However, after Arsenal clawed back two consecutive goals, they had successfully suppressed Manchester United's momentum. This was something Ferguson could not accept under any circumstances.
The intention behind subbing on Van Persie was crystal clear. The manager wanted his team to keep attacking and completely crush Arsenal!
Yet, to everyone's surprise, despite being a man down and supposedly at an absolute disadvantage, Arsenal was actually trading blows with their opponents on equal footing. Particularly in the 87th minute, Ashley Jan once again received the ball on the left flank and suddenly cut inside, attempting another curling shot. However, Wang Shuo tracked back in time and tightly pressed his shoulder against him, causing the winger to completely lose his chance to shoot. Seizing the perfect opportunity, Wang Shuo poked the ball away.
"Another track-back from Wang Shuo," the commentator announced. "He truly is everywhere in this match. Arsenal shows absolutely no signs of being a man down, and it's all thanks to Wang Shuo's relentless running. When attacking, he pushes to the very front; when defending, he drops all the way back to the edge of his own penalty area.
"It's already the 87th minute, yet his stamina remains abundant, and he's still running. I must say, whether it's his astonishing stamina or his sheer dedication and desire to win, he leaves an incredibly profound impression.
"We can see that Ferguson on the sidelines is sporting a rather complicated expression. He had previously mentioned that Wang Shuo's competitive spirit is a perfect fit for Manchester United, that he was naturally born to play for them. But due to various reasons, Wang Shuo joined Arsenal instead. One has to wonder what kind of mood Ferguson is in at this very moment."
Manchester United's attack ultimately resulted in a Throw-In on the left side of the front court. The team pressed forward aggressively, with seven players lurking in and around Arsenal's penalty area.
This was exactly what Ferguson wanted. Through his substitutions, the Manchester United godfather was telling the players on the pitch to keep attacking and maintain their suppression of Arsenal! Playing on their home turf, Manchester United didn't just want to win the final result; they wanted to win the process and dominate in momentum!
This was the sheer dominance of Manchester United in the Premier League.
Evra ran over, raising the ball above his head with both hands. Seizing the opportunity, he took a quick step forward and forcefully threw the ball into the penalty box, aiming for Van Persie.
Van Persie sprinted to the right side of the Arsenal box to receive the pass, attempting to use his body to shield the ball from Subotic. However, Subotic wasn't having any of it. He pressed hard against the striker's back while stepping in from the side to disrupt his control.
Failing to trap it properly, Van Persie's touch was slightly too heavy. The ball rolled out of the box toward the right edge of the penalty arc.
Wang Shuo sprinted back at the first opportunity. With his back to the right touchline, he adjusted his body and nudged the ball into his path, rapidly bursting forward on the dribble.
Van Persie and Ashley Jan gave chase from behind, while Giggs continuously tracked back from the front. As Wang Shuo pushed the ball forward, he observed the surrounding situation. Arsenal was transitioning from defense to offense, and their formation was gradually spreading out. However, there were no suitable passing lanes around him.
Seeing that Giggs didn't immediately move in to form an encirclement, Wang Shuo made a split-second decision. He abruptly accelerated, taking long strides as he drove the ball forward. With a swift burst of speed, Wang Shuo bypassed Giggs' defensive zone. Beating the three Manchester United players before they could close him in, he reached the halfway line.
At this moment, Cleverly abandoned his track-back and instead lunged forward immediately, attempting to trap him. Wang Shuo met the challenge fearlessly. His mind constantly analyzed the surroundings, calculating their next moves.
The moment Cleverly rushed right in front of him, Wang Shuo pushed off hard with his legs.

Like a sports car hitting the nitrous oxide in the movie "Fast and Furious", he swiftly blasted past Cleverly from the side, leaving the Manchester United Midfielder grasping at thin air.
It wasn't until this moment that the 75,000 Manchester United fans in the stands finally reacted in sheer astonishment.
"Oh my god, he's taking off! It's just like Kaka in 2007!"
On the sidelines, Ferguson completely panicked.
"Stop him! Stop him right now!" he roared. "Foul him! Damn it, don't you know how to foul?"
But no one on the pitch had time to react. Wang Shuo swiftly broke past Cleverly's defensive zone, blazing across the halfway line and charging straight into Manchester United's thirty-meter zone.
