Defend, defend!

This is what all Coventry players are thinking right now.

Only by defending Arsenal's crazy attack can we have a chance to equalize or even overtake the score.

At this time, all 11 Coventry players retreated to their own half.

The expressions on their faces were very serious.

At this time, the Coventry team no longer had offensive and defensive players.

But except for Shen Xiao, every Coventry player on the court had a look of hope on their faces.

Although the defense is tough, their team still has a glimmer of hope of winning.

They all looked at Shen Xiao's figure with great trust, ready to provide him with opportunities to pass and attack at any time.

"Brothers, hold on a little longer!"

Seeing the sincere glances on the field, Shen Xiao was also looking forward to it in her heart.

Shen Xiao didn't want to disappoint his teammates and brothers.

However, Shen Xiao currently has to retreat to the backcourt temporarily and defend with everyone.

One person abusing a team?

The system indeed gave Shen Xiao such an ability.

He can be invincible in the currently unlocked leagues (cups).

And it just so happened that the FA Cup was where Shen Xiao's system abilities were put into play.

Therefore, Arsenal in the FA Cup has now come to Shen Xiao's "bowl".

However, Shen Xiao only had this invincibility for ten minutes.

When the overall strength of his team is several levels behind that of his opponents, Shen Xiao's performance will be greatly restricted.

Because when to turn on the system ability value, and under what condition the team is using it, this is a good thing to study in detail.

If Shen Xiao was in a team like Huang Saren, then Shen Xiao's heart wouldn't be so tired.

Because if the teams are of equal strength, or if their strength is much higher than other teams, Shen Xiao can show his "highlight moments" at any time.

Moreover, if it escalates to a showdown between super teams, perhaps ten minutes of "extraordinary" performance on the field will be enough time.

A court "killer" does not need to shine on the court for 90 minutes.

A true master may change the game or kill it in just a few seconds.

For example, Italy's "Ninth Master" Inzaghi, compared to other world-class stars, his strength, speed and skills are not as good as others, or even very ordinary.

But Inzaghi, who could be "invisible" for 89 minutes of the 90-minute match, has become a world-famous goal "terminator".

Therefore, a hero for one minute is also a hero!

Football competitions, and even sports competitions, have such rules!

Even if you have the advantage throughout the game, but you slack off at the last second of the game, you are still the loser.

A famous football program once said this.

You can only judge the strength of the two teams in this game, but you cannot judge the outcome of this game.

Therefore, when a certain sports media interviewed Mourinho, he very truly said that the striker he admires most is the "man who lives on the line of the penalty area", Inzaghi!

Having said that, it stands to reason that Shen Xiao has the ability to be invincible on the field for ten minutes, which is enough time.

It's just that being in a "weak team" in League One, Shen Xiao is always needed to "save the world", so it seems that Shen Xiao is relatively limited in using the system ability.

So at this time, the anxious Shen Xiao decided that after this season, he must join a super team.

Because Shen Xiao felt sad inside, he no longer wanted to continue "beating monsters beyond levels".

But the current FA Cup match against Arsenal has only started less than ten minutes.

Therefore, Shen Xiao could only clench his back molars. There was no other way, just bear with it!

Wait until ten minutes before the end of the second half and transform into a "monster".

In this way, Shen Xiao and his teammates stayed in their own half.

Defense is still defense!

This offensive and defensive confrontation lasted for about 20 minutes between the two teams.

As the saying goes, offense is the best defense.

The Coventry team, which has been passively defensive, naturally has the ball controlled by its opponents most of the time.

Because the Coventry team cannot always control the ball in their backcourt.

After taking the ball, the Coventry team had no successful offensive methods at this time.

Time slowly came to about 30 minutes into the first half.

At this moment, Coventry's old captain Gordon suddenly raised his right hand.

He made a substitution in the direction of head coach Robbins off the field!

Gordon took the initiative to ask to be replaced!

"Old captain, what are you doing?"

"Isn't now the time to implement that 'bet' you made before the game?"

At this time, Shen Xiao looked up and looked at the time on the big screen above the court. He thought Gordon was practicing the starting bet with Billy before the game.

"Haha, Shen Xiao, you think too much!"

"I just came back from injury, and now my feet have reached their limit! I really can't hold on any longer!"

Hearing this, Gordon explained to Shen Xiao with a smile.

After saying that, Gordon limped towards the outside of the stadium.

Shen Xiao could tell that the old captain might really not be able to persist in the game, and it was not really for the "match" with Billy.

Shen Xiao thought about it and suddenly understood.

After all, the veteran captain Gordon, who had just returned from injury, was in a high-pressure state during the first half hour or so.

Defense consumes more energy than offense.

From the beginning of the game, Gordon took on the work of offense, organization and defense.

He had just recovered from his injury, and it was really good that he could last for half an hour.

At this time, football is still in Arsenal's hands.

After discovering the "situation" on Coventry's side, Arsenal captain Xhaka very gentlemanly kicked the ball out of the field.

Xhaka's action won a burst of applause from the fans in the stadium.

Erqi Er, who was on the side, glared at captain Xhaka with great dissatisfaction. He thought this was a good opportunity to attack.

After Xhaka kicked the ball out of the field, the Coventry team immediately made substitutions.

As the head coach of Coventry, Robins certainly knows what his team is going to do in the first half.

When it came to the decision to substitute, Robbins sent Billy without any hesitation.

Because Billy has good physical fitness and can play as a forward and defender.

Secondly, Billy and Shen Xiao also have the best cooperation, so when the team is in a difficult moment, sending Billy is the best choice.

As for Beamon, it depends on the situation in the second half of the game whether he will be sent to play again.

Billy quickly replaced Gordon, and he immediately ran to Shen Xiao's side.

"Smug smile, this game, are you... okay?"

At this time, Billy asked Shen Xiao hesitantly.

"White Fang Billy, do you trust me, brother?"

Shen Xiao smiled at Billy and then asked.

"I'll go, Smiley, why should I ask if he's aiming at this?"

"What I mean is...the other party is really strong, we may not be able to defeat him..."

Upon hearing this, Billy quickly replied to Shen Xiao eagerly.

"Don't think too much, defend first! Let's talk about it in the second half!"

At this time, Shen Xiao said very seriously.

"Okay, I understand!"
Chapter completed!
