Big back

Chapter 940

Chapter 940

All the preparations were ready, the hour hand pointed to seven o'clock, the referee blew the whistle in his hand, and the game officially started.

It was not as expected as soon as the game started, sparks flew from both sides. On the contrary, in the first ten minutes or so, the two teams played a little conservatively, and they were more in a tentative stage. There is fear of each other.

As the saying goes, "a broken ship also has a three-point nail". Even if their performance has declined in recent years, Arsenal is a traditional giant in the Premier League after all. They are not a broken ship. Look at their current ranking in the league standings this season. This is enough to show that they are still a very competitive team in the top league.

Arshavin, Van Persie, Nasri... These are all star players with good strength. Arsenal's lineup is not bad. After fighting against the Gunners for so many years, Manchester United is very aware of the opponent's ability and dare not underestimate them.

Both teams were looking for opportunities to attack by slowly turning their feet, showing great patience, and the first shot on the field was created in the 10th minute by the visiting team.

Arsenal, who were originally sloppy in the backcourt, suddenly accelerated their attacking rhythm. Several quick and simple passes hit the frontcourt of the home team. Finally, Czech midfielder Rosicky completed a concealed through pass. Russian Tsar Arshavin came from the side. The ribs of the road were inserted, and he kicked an angry shot from the right side of the penalty area line. The football was saved by the concentrated Van der Sar to the bottom line.

The subsequent corner kick Van der Sar took the initiative to leap high and pick the ball into his hands.

The first shot caused a lot of trouble for Manchester United's goal. Arsenal's strength can be seen. Even if the current Manchester United team is in good shape, they have won consecutive victories in the league and maintained a complete victory, but Arsenal still shows. They have the potential to score points in this stadium.

"Arsenal scored their first goal of the game!"

"Rosicky's through ball, Arshavin's movement...Although Arsenal have obviously started to decline in recent years, there is no doubt that they are still one of the best teams in the Premier League...as long as the professor is still coaching the Gunners position, then the re-emergence of the arsenal is just around the corner!"

"Arshavin expressed Arsenal's attitude with a very threatening shot. They want to score points here! They will do their best to prevent Manchester United from stepping on their bodies to create a new record... Now, just see Let's see how Manchester United will respond when they are playing at home!"

Manchester United's response also came quickly. Compared with Arsenal's use of smooth and fast ground conduction to cooperate to create shooting opportunities, Manchester United's offense is much more direct. Although Manchester United has many players with delicate skills at their feet, Fan Bizhuang , Kaka, including Hernandez, are all outstanding players with outstanding skills, but Manchester United under Ferguson has never been a technical team. The arrival of Fan Bizhuang and Kaka has enriched the team's tactical play, but Compared with Arsenal, which has insisted on ground pass play for more than ten years, Manchester United is really far behind. This is why Arsenal is known as a school of its own in the Premier League where there are many rough guys. They play small skills and pass cooperation with Arsenal. , This is no different from playing big swords in front of Guan Gong.

Manchester United will not be so stupid as to go head-to-head with the opponent's advantage, so their offensive method is much simpler and more direct. Veteran Scholes, who has returned to the starting lineup, has a wide range of long passes and directly finds Kaka who is cruising to the wing. After receiving the ball with outstanding speed, he went straight to the bottom quickly, and swept the football into the penalty area before the arrival of the left back Clichy.

Skilled teams usually have a common problem, that is, insufficient confrontation ability, which is particularly evident in Arsenal. To be honest, Arsenal’s confrontation ability is not bad, but obviously, there are too many muscular men in the Premier League. Moreover, the penalty scale is much looser than that of other top European leagues, so in many cases, in confrontations and collisions, Arsenal will inevitably suffer some small losses.

The two teams have been fighting each other for so many years. It can be said that they know each other very well. Arsenal can create a threat through smooth passing and cooperation. Then Manchester United can also use their own advantages to give Arsenal a strong impact in confrontation and competition. pressure.

That's it this time.

Before the game, Ferguson asked the team to increase some defensive actions, preferably more physical contact with Arsenal players, which is the magic weapon for disrupting the opponent's offensive rhythm.In the offense, try more crosses from the side. It doesn't have to be so troublesome to beat Arsenal. Simple and direct is the best way.

Kaka obviously strictly implemented the coach's tactical intentions, and he passed the football to the middle of the penalty area.

In order to be able to implement the tactical strategy of putting pressure on Arsenal through high-altitude balls, the team's starting forwards in this game are Berbatov and Fan Bizhuang. Equally outstanding, and the Bulgarian center, grabbing points and competing for the top is also his forte.

When the football came, Berbatov ran to the front point, took off and shook his head towards the football. As a result, the football flew directly over his head-it was not the Bulgarian's impact on the football. Misjudgment, he knew that it would be difficult for him to touch the football, and he did so just to confuse the line of sight, create confusion, and divert the defensive players away from Fan Bizhuang who was ambushing behind him.

Berbatov's feint shot really deceived the central defender Julu who was close behind him. The Swiss central defender saw Berbatov jumping up to fight for the top, and immediately jumped up, but unexpectedly, Berbatov The husband actually "came off the top". He stretched his neck desperately in great joy, but sadly found that his head could not reach the football, so the football jumped over his head.

"Come forward! Berbatov jumped up... oh, he didn't hit the ball!"

"Julu makes a clearance...Damn it, the Arsenal central defender has fallen!"

"There was chaos in the penalty area... the football flew towards the back of the center... let's see... oh, Fan! It's Fan! There it is, the ball is slowing down, Fan has jumped up... …Will it score? Will it score? Arsenal captain Vermaelen jumped up almost at the same time, there was movement in his hand, and the two of them had a fierce battle in the air..."

The football quickly fell towards the penalty spot. Amidst the din, Fan Bizhuang and Vermaelen jumped almost at the same time, but Fan Bizhuang's jumping ability and ability to stay in the air were better. When he was stranded in the air, Vermaelen's body was already falling. When the football flew, Vermaelen, who was pressed under him, could only make some small movements with his hands.

But his interference did not have any impact on the result. Fan Bizhuang, who was extremely aggressive, shook his head fiercely. The football was concentrated by a huge force, changed direction, and quickly drilled towards the upper right corner of the goal.

At such a close distance, Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia had no time to react. When he looked sideways, the football had already rushed into the net.

1: 0!

Manchester United scored the first goal at home and took the lead!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! The goal is scored! Fan Mei's header scored! Manchester United took the lead at home, and they took the lead in this confrontation with their old rival Arsenal!"

"1:0! Manchester United is one step closer to a new record of winning streak in the Premier League!"

"Simple and direct, yet so efficient! Kaka passed the ball and Fan Qiangli scored with a header!"

Old Trafford fell into a jubilation, shouts of "Fan Bizhuang" came and went in the stands, and his portrait was also waved by the fans and fluttered in the wind.

The bench on the sidelines was full of exclamations and screams. Even Ferguson was excitedly shaking his arms on the sidelines. The team scored a goal with the first shot, which was somewhat beyond his expectation.However, this kind of accident is a good thing. With such an early lead, the players will definitely have more confidence in the next game.

On the other side, Wenger's expression became very dignified. Just after the trial period, the team used a threatening shot to test Manchester United's goal. Unexpectedly, Manchester United's counterattack was even fiercer. One kick in the goal, and the result is a goal.

The shooting data is the same, but the score is behind him, which makes the elegant professor feel a little depressed.

Wenger stood up from the coach's bench, paced silently on the sidelines, and used his hands to pull the zipper of his jacket from time to time. He tried several times but failed to pull it on. Two sentences.

This is Wenger's "traditional style". Many times, Wenger would zip on the sidelines, no matter whether he could zip it up or not, it was photographed by many media and made jokes in newspapers, and this scene reappeared , There was a burst of laughter in the commentary.

"Monsieur Arsene's zipper is broken again!"

"I don't know if he's annoyed at this point with the team falling behind or with his zipper problem...maybe it's both?"

"Professor is lucky, there is no problem with the zipper of his trousers today..."

Wenger didn't know how the commentators were making fun of himself. He frowned and pointed fingers at the players on the field for a while, then sat back on the coach's bench and continued to observe the game with his arms folded.

For him, it is really not good news to concede the first goal, but Manchester United have played against Manchester United for so many years, and this season Manchester United is a strong one. After complaining, he quickly calmed down. There is still a lot of game time, and he thinks his team still has a chance to get the score back.

The reason why a wealthy family is a wealthy family is that in addition to having a glorious past history, it also has the ability to respond without being surprised. After the game restarted, Arsenal, which has a strong self-regulation ability, changed quickly. After a short period of chaos, The visiting team used continuous passing to stabilize the general's heart, and then quickly entered the rhythm of the counterattack.

If we say that in the previous ten minutes or so, the offenses of the two teams were not fast or slow, then the lagging Arsenal took the lead in breaking this "tacit understanding" because they were eager to regain their disadvantage. Exciting.
