Icardi Re-enabled! Tang Long's New Skill [Winged Shot] Debuts in the Derby!

What insensitive thing did Wanda say that made Icardi suddenly jump up from the bed, his head hitting the ceiling light and shattering the glass?

Wanda lay in bed, watching her husband glare at her like an enraged lion, as if he wanted to devour her. A chill ran down her spine. She thought, "How did he suddenly become so bold?"

The dilapidated chandelier above Icardi's head emitted a crackling sound of electricity.

The yellow light flickered, illuminating his pale and gloomy face, making him appear incredibly terrifying.

"Wanda! You listen to me!"

What do you mean by saying that as long as Tang is in the Premier League, I can't win the Premier League title?

"I'll just pretend you farted in front of me! If you say that again, believe me, I'll strangle you!"

Wanda, who is used to manipulating her husband, would probably just think of such threatening words as him talking nonsense all the time.

But seeing Icardi's thunderous roar, Wanda truly believed that this 23-year-old man was capable of it!

However, Wanda was seven years older than Icardi and had a lot of experience in relationships.

She felt a chill run down her spine, snapped back to reality, and thought, "So, you're getting cocky now? Before you were even fully grown, I'd already slept with countless men. You think you can intimidate me? What a joke!"

Wanda suddenly blinked twice, feigning a pitiful look, and said softly:

"Dear Mauro, I was wrong. But if you really want to prove yourself, I'll give you a chance. Come on, let me see what you're capable of!"

Having said that, he slowly stood up, tied his hair up in front of Icardi, and knelt down.

That night, poor Icardi was toyed with by Wanda until 5 a. m.

Icardi only fell into a deep sleep when the morning light shone through the window and illuminated the room.

"Haha, not bad, you little rascal! You've got some skills after all. I knew I hadn't misjudged you!" Wanda, riding on Icardi's back, finished her last twist and slapped him hard across the face before dismounting and going to the kitchen to make coffee.

Before Icardi lost consciousness, Wanda's heartfelt praise of his abilities brought a sweet smile to his face in his sleep.

"Tang is no match for me; I, Mauro, am far superior!"

"Good shot Mauro!"

The applause from Manchester United manager Pellegrini at the Carrington Training Ground never stopped.

With the Manchester Derby about to kick off, the Chilean Engineer racked his brains and discussed with the first-team coaching staff for a long time before finally coming up with a tactic that he considered very aggressive.

Cross from the wing!

Pellegrini is well aware of Manchester City's strength.

This time, even playing at their home ground Old Trafford, winning the game will be extremely difficult.

Leaving aside defense, breaking down Manchester City's defense in attack is a headache in itself.

Especially now that Guardiola has been in charge of Manchester City for almost half a season, their players have gradually mastered the concept of high pressing.

It's not easy to pass the ball around through penetration.

Therefore, Perragini decided to employ a completely new tactic in the match against Manchester City, bombarding the opponent with a large number of crosses from the flanks, prioritizing quantity over quality!

Pellegrini's considerations are not without merit.

Kompany, the Manchester City defensive stalwart, suffered a thigh muscle strain during training and will miss this derby.

Pellegrini predicts that Guardiola will start backup Otamendi to partner Stones in central defense.

Both of these center-backs are top-class in the Premier League, but they each have their own weaknesses.

Although Stones is tall and strong with excellent footwork, making him a good center-back who can create chances for the ball, he is still young and his judgment of the ball's trajectory is far inferior to that of Kompany.

Otamendi has much more experience, but he is only 1.83 meters tall.

He's definitely a short defender, even by Premier League standards!

Therefore, Pellegrini decided to reinstate Icardi, who had been sidelined, as a secret weapon to let his brilliance shine in this derby match.

"Mauro, back when you played for Inter Milan in Serie A, people said you were like a magnet that could attract the ball. Is that true?"

"I'm starting you in this derby. I want to see if what those Italy media outlets are saying is true!"

Upon hearing this, Icardi trembled with excitement, his eyes blazing with the flames of revenge that Pellegrini had hoped to see.

"Don't worry, boss! Winning headers against center-backs has always been my forte. No matter how tall or big a center-back is, I'm not afraid! Give me 10 crosses, and I can head them on at least 8 of them!"

After arriving at Manchester City, Pellegrini wanted to transform the team with a possession-based system, and therefore gave up on Icardi could only poach goals but lacked technical skills.

But Icardi is not without value!

Otherwise, how could he have become the youngest Golden Boot winner in Serie A's 100-year history?

After his high-priced transfer to Manchester United, although he narrowly lost the Premier League Golden Boot to Aguero last season, he was still the team's top scorer.

Pellegrini decided to take a risky approach.

This derby abandons the ground-based approach that has been instilled before, and instead goes for a traditional English header!

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

Icardi has been in superb form in training, consistently delivering crosses from the wings by players such as Ashley Young, Darmian, Rojo, and De Bruyne.

His heading technique fully demonstrates his exceptional jumping ability and powerful core strength.

Each one hit with incredible accuracy!

Each angle is more challenging than the last!

They left Manchester United's starting goalkeeper, De Gea, scrambling for his feet, but he couldn't make many saves.

Pellegrini nodded in satisfaction and smiled as he said to his assistant coach:

"In the modern football system, Mauro is a crippled striker, but if we want to beat Manchester City, the conventional approach is definitely not going to work. I'm sending Icardi on; this unconventional tactic might be the key to victory."

At the same time.

After finishing the final training session before the competition.

Upon arriving home, Tang Long couldn't wait to enter the AI Cloud Training Ground.

After repeatedly breaking through the opponent's goal with the Tiger Shot, he discovered that the Tiger Shot had been upgraded, with the arrowhead branching out into a new form— the Winged Shot!

When Tang Long was training for this new skill, following the AI tutorial, his body would spread out like a bird spreading its wings when he kicked the ball to shoot, in order to achieve better balance and power.

The power of the Winged Shot lies in the fact that after the ball is released, it usually has a certain arc and spin, and its flight trajectory resembles a bird spreading its wings, making it highly deceptive!

The ball may suddenly change direction or drop in the air, making it difficult for the goalkeeper to accurately judge the ball's flight path and increasing the difficulty of the save!

Time is tight and the task is heavy.

Tang Long only had a day and a half to intensively train this skill in the AI Cloud Training Ground.

However, as his AI System continued to iterate and as Tang Long's various physical indicators improved, he soon mastered the exploration of new skills.

On the day of the competition.

As soon as Manchester City's team bus pulled into Old Trafford, a thought flashed through his mind.
