On September 30, the highlight of the seventh round of the Premier League, a battle between the Red Devils Manchester United and the Gunners Arsenal, will be held at the Dream Theater Old Trafford Stadium.

The battle between the Red Devils and Gunners has been the main theme of the Premier League championship for a long time, but now that Ferguson and Wenger have retired, the confrontation between the two teams is the focus, but it is no longer the main theme of the championship.

However, this game still received a level of attention that previous Manchester United and Arsenal games did not.

Because this game is Lin Kedi's first home game after winning two trophies in a row.

From being awarded the UEFA European Player of the Year to being awarded the World Footballer of the Year on September 24, in the intervening period of more than a month, whether it was Manchester United or the national team, Lin Kedi played away games.

Therefore, this game between Manchester United and Arsenal is a game that all Manchester United fans are looking forward to.

Before the game, Lin Kedi will display his two personal trophies.

Link will become the Premier League's first UEFA European Player of the Year and the second World Player of the Year. What makes Manchester United fans proud is that the Premier League's first World Player of the Year also belongs to Manchester United.

The club is busy preparing for its home debut.

And Ten Hag is thinking about his formation against Arsenal.

Now everyone is back from injury.

Arsenal is also well-staffed, young and strong, with strong troops.

During the coaching staff meeting, Ten Hag pointed out: "Among Arsenal's frontcourt players, the most important thing to pay attention to is Saka. Center forward Aubameyang only needs to restrict his route. As for Pepe on the right, I

I don’t think he has the ability to play in the Premier League at all. You don’t need to think too much about it. This is Saka. He is young, energetic, an explosive player, and has shooting skills.

It's average. Overall, Arsenal's formation is 433. The interception ability in the middle is not enough. Xhaka plays too much as a defensive midfielder and it is easy to get cards. And neither Guendouzi nor Torreira are creative midfielders.

, it is difficult to say that the skills at the feet are excellent, but Emery's tactics are very pragmatic, so when it comes to specific situations, we still need to stick to our tactics."

"As for this game, we played 433 and played against Arsenal. If we play alone as a defensive midfielder, who do you think is better? Let's talk about it."

Although everyone on the coaching staff talks to Ten Hag very casually in normal times, when it comes to the tactical meeting, which is a professional time, Ten Hag is very strict, so it’s okay if he has something to say.

But if you talk nonsense, you will be criticized by Ten Hahe.

At this time, assistant coach Mitchell usually speaks first.

This time is no exception.

"This time Arsenal's frontcourt three are all flexible and fast. Judging from the performance in the past few rounds, it is more reasonable for us to play Matic, but as I said before, Saka, Pepe and O

Bameyang is both speedy, so I have some doubts about playing Matic, and Eric, I believe you and I have similar thoughts."

"Yes. I think so too. If the opponent is a high forward, it's easy to play Matic, but today the three opponents are all fast and agile, so it is unrealistic to play Matic. But the rest

Guimarães, Fred, McTominay, or Bentancur to play as a defensive midfielder, what do you think?"

At this time Carrick spoke.

"I have also played as a defensive midfielder. I have played as a defensive midfielder for a large part of my career. I can also play as a central midfielder. From my perspective, I think I can play in Guimarães."

After hearing this answer, Ten Hahe looked at Carrick.

"Michael, I have forgotten your glorious playing career. Since you nominated Guimarães, can you tell me your reasons?"

"Of course. Guimarães is 1.82 meters tall, which is not very tall, but this height has made him flexible enough and has enough physical resistance. In addition, his ability to compete for the top is also good. In addition, he is Brazilian after all.

, his technical ability is the best among the defensive midfielders, his passing rate is very high, and unlike many Brazilian players, he does not stick to the ball, which is very important, because there is a player in our team who likes to stick to the ball.

The Brazilian midfielder with the ball——"

At this point, everyone laughed, and everyone knew that he was talking about Fred, who had not corrected his shortcoming of sticking to the ball after being pointed out many times.

"As a Brazilian defensive midfielder, it's great that he doesn't stick to the ball. Secondly, his range of activities and coverage area are huge, and his interception and stealing abilities are also relatively outstanding. Of course, the shortcomings are also obvious. His lack of experience may lead to poor timing.

There are some problems with the selection. But as I have said about the other candidates, Fred's shortcomings are too fatal. McTominay's strength is indeed insufficient. As for Bentancur, his defensive concentration, defensive strength and defensive ability are not enough.

It’s really not enough.”

Ten Hahe listened to Carrick's words carefully, and then nodded.

"Well, Michael, I agree with your idea. Well, the only midfielder in tomorrow's game will be Guimarães."

So, the next day.

Game day.

Manchester United vs Arsenal match scene, Old Trafford.

At this time, the stadium was filled with people.

Everyone is looking forward to someone's arrival.

Players from both teams have entered the stadium first.

Stand in the middle circle.

Afterwards, the on-site DJ shouted: "Let us loudly shout the name of today's protagonist - Lin -"

"Defeat the enemy!"

"Lin Ke Enemy!"

Tens of thousands of people shouted Lin Kedi's name together.

Lin Kedi and his girlfriend Janessa walked into the stadium together.

"Oh! We saw Lin walking into the stadium with his girlfriend Janessa Endi! Link was holding the World Player of the Year trophy, and Janessa was holding the European Player of the Year trophy!

Of course, it’s difficult for one person to hold two trophies at the same time!”

Lin Kedi and Janessa walked to the stadium together and in front of the red stage that had been set up in advance.

Lin Kedi placed the trophy on the stage, and Janessa also placed it on the stage. Then Janessa kissed Lin Kedi on the cheek.

"Kneel the enemy, tonight is your big day!"

After that, he walked off the court.

Later, Lin Kedi lifted the two trophies one after another and showed them to the fans at the scene!

The fans shouted Lin Kedi's name, and the lively atmosphere reached its peak.

Rashford stood in the center circle and looked around the Old Trafford Stadium. He had been to this stadium countless times, but this was the first time he heard someone shouting in this stadium with such a loud voice.

name.

This feeling shocked Rashford.

Also feeling the shock was Arsenal's Saka.

He looked at Lin Kedi holding the trophy high and felt inexplicably depressed. He was only 3 months younger than him, but his achievements were really different.

But then, Saka's mood became excited again. He was looking forward to defeating his opponent and disrupting the situation on this big day that belonged to Lin Ke.

Soon, 10 minutes passed, and Lin Kedi's display ceremony ended.

Lin Kedi handed the trophy to the club staff and then walked onto the field.

"The game is about to begin! Both sides facing today are fielding a 433 formation. For Manchester United, the goalkeeper is De Gea, and the defense from left to right is Luke Shaw, De Ligt, Smalling and Phil.

Terman. The defensive midfielder is Guimarães, the left midfielder is Bentancur, the right midfielder is De Jong, the left winger is Rashford, the right winger is Perisic, and the center forward is Lin Kedi!"

"Arsenal's 433 formation, the goalkeeper is Leno. The defense line from left to right is Kolasinac, David Luiz, Papastathopoulos and Chambers. The defensive midfielder is Xhaka, left

The midfielder is Guendouzi, and the right midfielder is Torreira. The left winger is 18-year-old Saka, the right winger is Pepe, and the center forward is Aubameyang."

"The game has started! Arsenal attacked first in the first half!"

The formation that Emery's Arsenal often uses is 433. Emery's 433 formation requires continuous high pressure on the opponent, and also needs to bring the defense forward. Arsenal currently also likes to play the ball from the defense and control the ball.

Rate.

This kind of tactical play has become a defensive counterattack tactic under Emery.

As I said just now, although Emery's Arsenal will do some high-pressure actions, in the final analysis, what he does is defensive counterattack.

But when it comes to defensive counterattacks, the ability to play the ball is particularly important. Therefore, many players Emery uses on the defensive line have a certain ability to play the ball.

But obviously, this line of defense is not outstanding.

David Luiz, a former Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain player, is known for his fierce defense. He is also a Brazilian player and has very good foot skills. However, by this season, David Luiz's condition has declined.

David Luiz is balanced with both left and right feet. He can play as a center back or left wing. He has excellent air defense capabilities. His speed and agility are outstanding for his size. He is good at reading the game and can launch attacks from the defensive area. He is a "crazy" player.

, is also the best "unreliable" central defender in the world. He is not only aggressive in defense and can put huge pressure on the opponent's forwards, but also has good foot skills and is capable of setting the ball. But his mentality is not stable enough and he will

Make some stupid mistakes from time to time.

These characteristics allowed him to achieve the level of a world-class central defender during his time at Chelsea and Paris. Because of his aggressiveness, his physical fitness and mental attributes, he could often intercept the ball from the striker's feet. At that time, his speed

Fast, good physical fitness, active in tackling.

But in his second season with the Blues, he actually started to decline. Otherwise, the Blues wouldn't have been able to sell him to the local team Arsenal for 8 million pounds.

However, Arsenal missed the Champions League last season and it is difficult to buy players. They can buy an experienced David Luiz. Although he has declined, Luiz is still the strongest person in Arsenal's defense.

, this makes Arsenal fans desperate.

Emery asked David Luiz to release the ball immediately after receiving the back pass from the midfield and not to advance the ball forward. At least not to do this kind of dribbling work when facing Manchester United!
