Cao Baiming also showed helplessness, but there was nothing he could do at this moment.
Watching Neymar dance back and forth on the right flank, he knew something was bound to happen, but letting Mbappe go free wasn't a wise choice either.
Given the current situation, perhaps it would be quite interesting!
A terrifying thought quietly formed in Cao Baiming's mind!
A kill that strikes the heart! If Neymar could overshadow Mbappe in this match, that would be the situation he feared the most!
If he assisted Neymar to show off in the first half, to the point where Mbappe doubted his life, and then in the second half, he casually scored a few goals in the front court to equalize the score, wouldn't that be even better!?
Mbappe would inevitably take the blame himself after going back. This time, he wouldn't be able to blame anyone else, haha!
Cao Baiming was so excited by his brilliant idea that he burst into laughter for a moment.
However, Paris Saint-Germain was still celebrating on the field, and his teammates were sighing in resignation. Only he was smiling out of sync.
Soon, the players returned to their starting positions.
The match reached the 12th minute.
As the casual fan had predicted, the number of goals in this match was definitely going to be high!
Cao Baiming carefully planned the subsequent tactics, the most important of which was naturally how to get back into the game.
The three enhancement potions he had just obtained, when used, would immediately grant an eighty percent increase in all attributes, giving him almost maxed-out shooting ability. With this boost, wouldn't it be equivalent to a guaranteed goal?
And he still had the supreme secret treasure in his hand. Five thousand points were nothing to scoff at!
So what was there to hesitate about? Scoring goals would be effortless!
It wouldn't be difficult to score five goals in the second half!
Thinking of this, Cao Baiming's resolve grew even stronger.
As soon as the kickoff happened, they moved to the left flank.
Mbappe stood in front of him. As the ball crossed the halfway line, he couldn't hold back and spoke first.
"Are you sticking to me? You've been here since the start. Why aren't you shooting!"
Facing such a sudden question, Cao Baiming smiled.
"No offense intended, I'm just doing what I want to do!"
Looking at Mbappe's expression, he knew the guy must be feeling very uncomfortable, thoroughly disgusted.
It might be easy for him to dribble past others, but it wasn't an easy task to get past him.
What he hadn't expected was that Mbappe still managed to taunt him, saying he couldn't shoot.
The implication was clear: he was saying Cao Baiming was playing too timidly in this match, not daring to attack?
He really wanted to retort, but it was better to avoid conflict on the field. He would let Mbappe understand how badly he couldn't shoot later.
As they spoke, their eyes turned towards the front.
Messi's initiative in the front court surprisingly yielded good results. Henry's shot almost equalized the score again!
Arsenal earned a corner, and only then did they both walk towards the front.
"So exciting, it was so close!"
"I couldn't understand Henry's footwork at all. How did he instantly make two players fall to the ground just now! It would have been amazing if this shot had gone in!"
Soon, the players were ready, and the corner kick was taken.
According to Arteta's pre-match instructions, corners were to be centered around Cao Baiming. As expected, the ball was kicked directly towards his head. Cao Baiming leaped high and nudged the ball with his head.
A bouncing ball shot towards the goal, ultimately kicked out by the goalkeeper's foot.
But it was on target, for the second time.
What a shame!
Cao Baiming sighed with helplessness, and his peripheral vision seemed to catch Mbappe smiling.
Was that guy mocking him?
The players began to move back, and Qian Duoduo distributed the ball from in front of the goal.
He first took a step forward and then, with one hand, tossed the ball down and, with the other foot, powerfully pushed it away.
He thought this time he would send a short pass, but instead, he sent a long ball straight towards the front. Wu Ba Peijian immediately started to sprint.
However, this time he wasn't so lucky, as Cao Baiming had already arrived before him.
This time, both of them started to accelerate. Cao Baiming even took a step ahead to block him and seize the position, successfully winning the ball without needing to activate his flying meter.
Poor Mbappe had to slow down while running and look up at the sky helplessly.
He had probably never had such a disgusting match in his life!
The wind on the field was very strong today, and the trajectory of the football was not easy to control. No one could ensure the precise direction of the ball while perfectly considering the wind speed and direction for calculations.
Even Cao Baiming, who had the system's automatic judgment, clearly felt the influence of the weather when passing the ball today. Because the wind speed was too fast, the displayed numbers for every line of passing significantly decreased.
But amidst this howling wind, the players played with even more passion, and the audience, infected by the passionate weather, became increasingly excited!
Arsenal still held a slight advantage in possession. Even though Cao Damin was not in the midfield, in this situation, compared to PSG's empty midfield, it was still completely fine, and they were steadily suppressing them.
This was why "Big Paris" frequently had direct connections between the front and back fields today.
In the following period, all the Arsenal players coordinated to control the rhythm of the game, passing and controlling the ball steadily, playing like Manchester City.
Soon, the situation improved significantly.
Because Cao Baiming was constantly marking Mbappe, he didn't get any good opportunities.
Until the end of the first half, he still hadn't gotten another shot.
On the contrary, thanks to Neymar's charming and peculiar play, they almost extended their lead again.
"There are only 10 minutes left in the first half. Let's see if either team wants to go all out in the final moments?"
Everyone recalled that in their last match against Manchester City, Cao Baiming had also equalized the score in the final second of the first half with a sudden shot, taking a draw into halftime.
Would the same situation happen again this time? Everyone was full of anticipation.
However, there were also quite a few Paris Saint-Germain fans present, and they hoped to see the two young talents in the front court complete another exquisite collaboration and extend their lead.
Even if Arsenal was strong, it wouldn't be that easy to come back in the second half!
However, what was even more difficult was that there was a mountain blocking the cooperation between these two geniuses – Cao Baiming. They simply couldn't coordinate.
In the 40th minute, Cao Baiming intercepted Verratti's pass.
