Now that Fly had scored the first goal, he, Park, was not to be outdone and responded.
Park Ji-sung believed this was fitting for the course of this confrontation. What he wanted now was to win the final victory of the match, to win this confrontation!
It was with this mindset that Park Ji-sung quietly paid attention to Fly's reaction.
He believed that such a meaningful confrontation would surely attract Fly's attention.
But unexpectedly, when he looked at Fly, he found that Fly had no expression at all, no frown, no seriousness after feeling tricky, but rather a look of indifferent calmness.
This scene made Park Ji-sung feel very frustrated.
What's going on?
Could it be that Fly didn't take his goal seriously?
No, impossible. Fly couldn't possibly not take such an important confrontation seriously.
Park Ji-sung shook his head, throwing this absurd thought out of his mind, and began to think carefully. Soon, he came up with a possibility:
"Then there's only one reason... He's pretending, that's right! Fly must be pretending. He must be anxious and unable to cope right now, but in order to maintain his pride, he can only forcefully suppress the impatience in his heart. At this moment, his facial expression is for outsiders to see, it must be like this!"
Park Ji-sung's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt as if he had seen through Fly.
"Hmph, Mr. Li, watch how I reveal your true face next!"
Fly didn't know that he had been "seen through" by someone. Right now, he just wanted to finish the first half quickly and go back to the locker room to warm up for a while.
Playing football on the field in sub-zero temperatures of over ten degrees Celsius was truly torturous.
Towards the end of the first half, players from both sides seemed to have a tacit understanding and started playing a peaceful game. Arsenal passed the ball around in the backfield, and Manchester United players didn't press.
As soon as the first half ended, the Main Referee didn't even add a second of injury time and directly blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
In the locker room, Wenger used a laser pointer to project the newly obtained thermal imaging map onto the tactics board: "The geothermal system makes the ice thinner on the right side of the center circle, Fly, you need to pull horizontally more."
Fly nodded, indicating that he understood. At this moment, he was holding the hot water distributed by the assistant coach.
It must be said that after just 45 minutes of playing, his body surface felt like it had condensed a layer of frost.
The team doctor warned while inserting heating pads into his socks: "Low temperature will increase muscle viscosity coefficient by 30%. The number of sprints must be controlled."
Fly made an "OK" gesture with his fingers. Right now, he just wanted to drink more hot water to raise his body temperature.
The away fans in the stands started a Mexican wave to keep warm, and Manchester United fans used lighters to set fire to the Daily Mail to transfer heat.
The broadcast camera swept over the VIP box, where Taylor was distributing hand warmers to Boss Huang Ed Sheeran, Selena Gomez, and Margot Robbie.
The three of them used their breath to melt the ice film on their phone screens to check social media - #IceBattle# had topped the trending topics in the United Kingdom.
"Taylor, I really admire Fly now. To be able to play football in this kind of terrible weather, what a strong will he must have!" Selena shook her head, her face full of admiration.
Taylor was still giving her boyfriend face in front of outsiders. She smiled slightly and said in a firm tone: "This is Taylor Swift's man, he should be this excellent!"
As soon as the halftime break was over, the Arsenal and Manchester United players walked out of the locker room one after another.
Just as Fly and Wilshere were walking out of the player tunnel together, a voice with a strange accent suddenly came from behind: "Mr. Fly, can we talk for a moment?"
Fly turned his head subconsciously upon hearing this. With just one glance, he knew who the person was.
South Korea's number one footballer, the Asian football king, Park Ji-sung!
"Hey, buddy, what do you need?" Although he didn't like the'stick' (derogatory term), Fly's public relations image was still excellent enough.
Park Ji-sung leaned close to Fly's ear and whispered: "Mr. Fly, I know you're feeling anxious right now, but it's okay, I completely understand you. I also had this happen when I was eager to win in the past."
"I will give my all in this confrontation today, and I hope Mr. Fly will give me more pointers."
After hearing Park Ji-sung's words, Fly immediately turned into a "black man's question mark face," not knowing what he was talking about.
Seeing that Fly was still pretending, Park Ji-sung smiled slightly, patted Fly's shoulder, and walked out of the player tunnel.
"What's wrong, Fly, what did that Asian guy say to you?" Wilshere, as a native Englishman, couldn't distinguish between Koreans, Japanese, and Chinese.
In his eyes, people with black eyes, black hair, and yellow skin were collectively Asian.
Fly shrugged and replied: "Who knows, I don't know what he was talking about."
After returning to the field, it wasn't long before the Main Referee blew the whistle for the start of the second half.
In the 48th minute of the match.
Fletcher played a short pass, Carrick received the ball and played a through ball to the flank. Rooney took the ball and made a strong run, forcefully overtaking Clichy before completing a cross from the byline.
Park Ji-sung, who had made a forward run, had his shot blocked and cleared by Koscielny sliding in.
In the 50th minute of the match.
Wilshere attempted a long-range shot from outside the box, the ball was saved by Van der Sar, and Arsenal won the first corner kick of the second half.
Fabregas took the corner kick, and the ball was eventually headed out by Vidic. Nasri, who received the ball outside the box, took a shot without adjustment, and the ball flew into the stands.
In the 53rd minute of the match.
Fly received a through ball from Wilshere and forcefully overtook Rafael on the bend, facing Rio Ferdinand who was blocking his path to cut inside.
Fly made a fake run and a real pass, giving the ball to Nasri at the edge of the box.
Nasri received the ball and played a through ball to the right. The overlapping right-back Sagna received the ball and crossed from the byline. Evra jumped high but failed to prevent the ball from flying towards Manchester United's goal.
Arshavin unfortunately slipped while competing for the ball, hitting his head on the right post of the goal, and ended up with a bloody head injury.
Seeing this situation, Wenger immediately substituted Arshavin for Walcott.
In the 58th minute of the match.
Alexandre Song made a tackle in the midfield, and Arsenal immediately launched a counterattack.
Fabregas received the ball and immediately played a through ball to the right side of the attacking third. Walcott, who had already accelerated, instantly shook off Evra.
Perhaps Little Tiger's body balance was excellent, as sprinting on the frosted grass did not significantly reduce his speed.
Facing the well-prepared Vidic, Walcott made a move towards the byline, forcefully creating space for a cross with his speed. The ball, along with ice chips, flew towards the middle of the goal.
Rio Ferdinand watched the trajectory of the ball in the air, made a prediction, and took off early, preparing to head the ball away from the landing spot.
Unexpectedly, at the crucial moment, Rio Ferdinand's jump was slightly lower than usual, either because his body wasn't fully warmed up or his soles slipped.
"Not good!" Rio Ferdinand, who had just completed his jump, immediately realized that this jump would not allow him to touch the ball flying in the air, and quickly called for his teammates.
Rafael, who had been sticking close to Fly, saw Rio Ferdinand's jumping error and immediately engaged in physical contact, trying to interfere with Fly's attempt to take the ball.
Fly felt the pressure from beside him, finally gritted his teeth, and directly took his body into the air, making a side-kick motion.
In this environment, Fly didn't think he could control the ball and complete a shot with a burly man next to him.
So the shooting method he could choose was an unconventional shot.
Rafael saw Fly take to the air right in front of him, his face contorted in a grimace. A premonition told him that this ball was not good!
When Van der Sar saw the ball Fly over Rio Ferdinand's head, he immediately moved his body towards the left post of the goal.
Looking at the incoming ball, Fly extended his right leg, making a side volley hook shot motion.
When the ball touched his ankle, Fly applied a little force, forcefully changing the trajectory of the ball.
The ball, after being touched by Fly's right ankle, immediately deflected towards the right side of the goal.
Van der Sar immediately misjudged the direction of the ball's spin, and was forced to throw his entire body out, but unfortunately missed.
At this moment, he could only pray that the ball would hit the post or the crossbar.
But unfortunately, the ball glided through the air with a strange arc, hitting the inside of the far post and bouncing into the net.
Arsenal 2:1 Manchester United, taking the lead again!
Fly completed a brace!
