Arsenal players haven't encountered such a disadvantageous situation for a long time!
Even when pressured by Manchester City, they didn't fall behind. This was the first time this season they were trailing in a match!
On the sidelines, Arteta's brow furrowed unconsciously.
While the Tottenham players were wildly celebrating their goal, the entire Arsenal squad was engulfed in doubt. Sighs of helplessness, some even falling to their knees on the grass.
Cao Baming's eyes flickered. He couldn't do anything about the conceded goal. All he could do now was salvage the situation!
With only two minutes left in the first half, he had to use his supreme treasure. If they went into halftime trailing, it would greatly impact the second half.
The Arsenal players' morale was truly affected. How could their defense be so vulnerable?
They had been controlling the rhythm well, and suddenly this happened, only to have the score reversed!
Cao Baming noticed this. If his teammates were disheartened, how could he afford to be demoralized?
He quickly started running on the field, bringing confidence to his teammates, comforting those around him while shouting encouragement.
Seeing the composure on Cao Baming's face, it also served to lift the team.
Soon, the team gathered at the kickoff spot. Cao Baming directly found Henry, who was about to restart play, and whispered to him that he didn't need to think too much, just pass him the ball.
Hearing this, a ray of light seemed to flash through Henry's mind.
"No problem!"
Henry said, then shifted his gaze to the opponents in front of him.
You guys are in for trouble!
It wasn't the first time he'd heard Cao Baming say this. These simple words spoke volumes, even foreshadowing a goal!
As the referee's whistle blew, Henry gently nudged the ball forward. Cao Baming, who was already in a sprinting stance, immediately took off like a sprinter hearing the starting gun.
Flying Bird skill! Activate! Supreme Treasure! Use!
In an instant, Cao Baming surged forward alone. In just one second, he reached the ball, concentrating all his strength into his leg and unleashing a powerful kick!
The players on the field were stunned. They were still rooted to the spot, not having moved an inch!
But Cao Baming had already kicked the ball towards the goal!
It was time to test the goalkeeper!
Although the goalkeeper hadn't reacted, the ball still needed time to travel across the entire pitch!
Sweat beaded on his forehead. He didn't even have time to be surprised before quickly making a diving save!
However, even so, it was too late!!
"The goal... is in?!"
The commentator exclaimed, and the fans' cheers were incessant!
"GOALLLLLLL!!"
"Cao Baming scores his brace, helping Arsenal equalize again!"
"That goal was so cool!"
The replay of the goal was shown repeatedly by the director because it was incredibly fast!
From the kickoff to the goal, it took only two seconds. Two seconds!
This replay was endlessly watchable. From Cao Baming's shot, people felt the true charm of football, how it was meant to be played!
But an ordinary person would never be able to replicate this!
Lloris was deeply shaken. The ball had already entered the net and was still spinning!
What the hell...
Lloris angrily kicked the goalpost!
Lloris's furious outburst!
"Awesome!!" Henry exclaimed, using a Chinese phrase that Cao Baming had just taught him last night!
His teammates surrounded Cao Baming, embracing him.
In an instant, the rhythm of the game returned!
A goal from halfway across the pitch, he had done it again!
The unfortunate spectators who were unaware of the system's existence likely couldn't fathom why Cao Baming's shot possessed such incredible penetrating power!
Soon, the referee blew the whistle, signaling the end of the first half.
Arteta clenched his fist, silently relieved!
Fortunately, they didn't have to go into halftime trailing, giving them hope for the second half!
Through his observation, he felt he had identified some issues that led to them controlling the game but conceding two goals and almost falling further behind.
If these issues could be rectified promptly, the situation could still be salvaged.
Cao Baming slowly walked off the pitch, and the system's voice rang out again, calculating the points for the first half.
Tottenham's offensive intensity surprised Cao Baming, but this was exactly what he wanted!
Harry Kane seemed to have improved even further. This guy truly gets better with age!
At that moment, something suddenly came to mind. In his season's objectives, there seemed to be a defensive task…
In the Premier League, complete 10 crucial interceptions within 10 minutes in a single match!
Given Tottenham's forward pressure in the first half, it seemed possible!
10 crucial interceptions in 10 minutes sounded incredibly difficult, but with the right technique, it should be achievable.
After everyone returned to the locker room, Arteta explained his findings and outlined the tactical changes for the second half.
A score of 2-2 was not something Arsenal was particularly satisfied with this season.
They wanted to come back in the second half, regain the lead, and reclaim their dignity.
Cao Baming sat in his seat, listening to the coach's instructions.
In the second half, he needed to drop back more often to participate in defense, which perfectly aligned with his own intentions!
To complete the 10-interception task, he naturally had to engage in more defensive play!
As for the attack, he'd leave it to Messi and Henry. Tottenham wasn't like Manchester City, and he believed Messi alone could control the midfield.
His own mission was interception!
Soon, the halftime break was drawing to a close. The thirty-minute interval had allowed the players to recover their stamina, and they were all eager for the second half.
Tottenham was in the same situation. It was their home ground today, and losing to Arsenal here would break the hearts of their fans!
Cao Baming walked onto the pitch at the back of the line, his heart already filled with excitement!
The reward for this task was a top-tier talent card, and in addition, he would directly receive a reward of five hundred thousand points!
