335 The Dragon and Tiger Fight Begins
"Arsenal has three main players absent in this game, which will affect their fighting ability at home.
Arsenal 451.
Goalkeeper: Amunia.
Defenders: Lauren, West Gang, Campbell, Ashley Cole.
Midfielder: Lungberg, Vieira, Qin Xiong, Flamini, Pire.
Forward: Henry.
Manchester United is also 451.
Goalkeeper: Carol.
Defenders: Neville, Ferdinand, Sylvester, Heinzer.
Midfielders: Giggs, Fletcher, Scholes, Keane, Ronaldo.
Forward: Rooney.
Okay, the game is about to begin, let's enjoy the peak battle between Arsenal and Manchester United!"
Although Arsenal did not show two midfielders with conflicting styles, Vlamini was not strong enough to deal with such a peak battle.
Therefore, Qin Xiong was not in a hurry to attack after the opening, and passed more balls to Flamini to allow him to adapt to the atmosphere and pressure of the game.
Manchester United is a bit conservative because of their away game, and their frontcourt side player Giggs exchanged positions with Ronaldo in this game.
In the last match, Ronaldo played on the right side, and Giggs of course was on the left side, which he was best at. In this game, Ferguson wanted to avoid Ronaldo being restricted by Ashley-* Cole again, so he let Giggs, who was more experienced, play on the right side.
When Qin Xiong believed that Flamini had completely entered the state, he began to attack Manchester United's defense.
In the offensive and defensive tug-of-war, Qin Xiong was able to leave Scholes behind in the starting position, and he would face a mid-lane sniper with Keane and Fletcher both back midfielders.
In the 11th minute of the game, Qin Xiong strode forward and decisively forcibly breaking through between Keane and Fletcher. Fletcher was exploded with speed!
But when he just passed Fletcher, Keane knocked Qin Xiong to the ground fiercely.
Qin Xiong rolled on the ground, which was his self-protection action after losing his center of gravity.
The referee blew a whistle to indicate Keane was fouled.
Keen walked to Qin Xiong with a fierce look. After Qin Xiong stood up, Keen pointed to the place that had just crossed the center line and said coldly to Qin Xiong: "Stay well behind that line. If you dare to step across that line, I will let you die miserably!"
Qin Xiong walked away expressionlessly. Keen's threat was impossible for him to ignore.
But of course he would not be afraid. The reason why he forced a breakthrough was to test Manchester United's defensive strategy and individual abilities of the double midfielder.
He didn't play against Keane or Fletcher in the last game.
It is hard to say that Keane will attack Qin Xiong. If Vieira is replaced, he might also give his opponent a warning while verbally threatening him.
That is to make the opponent afraid, retreat and timid!
Qin Xiong understood Keen's purpose, so he was even less afraid.
Arsenal's frontcourt offense is better than Manchester United, and they have a home advantage when fighting in Highbury.
Keen's technical ability has not declined. However, his physical condition has dropped significantly. The age and injury troubles have caused the Red Devils captain to block Qin Xiong in a small range. However, when Qin Xiong takes the initiative to avoid him and has a larger range of activities, Keen wants to appear at a key point in the midfield to curb Qin Xiong, which is obviously unlikely.
When Vieira also decisively inserted it during the attack, the smell of Keane's confrontation with Vieira became very obvious.
Vieira also consciously provoked Keane and fought head-on with the opponent!
The hot confrontation between these two midfielders is a microcosm of an era in the Premier League and is the representative of the battle between Arsenal and Manchester United.
In the 17th minute of the game, Qin Xiong advanced side by side with Vieira in the frontcourt. Vieira passed the ball forward and backward to Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong faced Vieira sideways and raised his right foot to pass the ball to Vieira. Fletcher dared not rob it easily, but his attention was obviously shifting to Vieira. He was worried that Vieira would go forward from the middle between him and Keane.
Qin Xiong's right foot was swayed in front of the football and passed the ball behind him with his heel!
Fletcher was caught off guard, and Qin Xiong immediately rushed forward from him, and was able to get rid of his opponent with the first burst!
The competition on the football field is racing against time!
Pirey responded to Qin Xiong's heel pass on the left and directly shot the ball. After making a two-pass and one with Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong dribbled the ball and faced Manchester United's back line!
Keane didn't expect Fletcher to be deceived by Qin Xiong so easily and get rid of it.
His pursuit seemed unscrupulous, and Qin Xiong was obviously faster than him in terms of speed, even with the ball on his hands.
Ferdinand was as stable as Mount Tai. He did not rush to grab it. He always paid attention to Henry's running position.
Qin Xiong, with a firm look, made changes in the horizontal dribble in front of the penalty area, quickly ensuring the combination of man and ball, and then finding the best shooting angle.
It only takes three steps to take the horizontal wheel from the left side of the penalty area to the right position. You can't step out of the fourth step because Keane will snipe him there!
Qin Xiong saw that when he suddenly shot a cold arrow, he shot out a ball of internal rotation.
Football passed by Sylvester, and the Manchester United generals turned their heads and looked at it carefully, and were shocked and sweated.
Qin Xiong's inner spinning ball shot from the far post. The ball, which was already very obvious, was still a little worse. Finally, when he was circling the goal, he ran out of the baseline while rubbing the outside of the post.
"Arsenal almost opened the first record with Qin Xiong! Fletcher looked very nervous. He was defeated by Qin Xiong and Piret's two-pass and one-shot wall. This is also a game that will test Fletcher."
A minute later, Giggs created an opportunity for Rooney from the right. Rooney headed the ball before Nishioka, but unfortunately he was too straight and Amunia confiscated the ball.
Objectively speaking, as the core figure in Manchester United's next generation construction, Rooney's performance this season is more stable and eye-catching than Ronaldo, but Ferguson has always been full of confidence in Ronaldo. After all, he personally handed the traditional and legendary No. 7 jersey of Manchester United to Ronaldo.
Two minutes later, Manchester United successfully defended Pire and launched a quick counterattack after cutting in the left side, which gave Vieira's headache to get rid of the blockade. After receiving Heinze's pass, he successfully broke through horizontally in front of Flamini. He suddenly sent a straight pass from the counter-tangent line on the right side of the penalty area. Ronaldo cuts the penalty area from the left side. The explosive Portuguese genius stabs the ball to the goal before Lauren clears the ball, but unfortunately the shot misses!
Manchester United has never lacked passion and attacking posture in the match between Arsenal.
Vieira had a strong sense of matchup with Keane in this game, but the captain did not want to compete with Keane. After fighting for so many years, the two have long downgraded their personal victory or defeat. Leading the team to win is the king!
When defending, Keane was very passive and could not let Vieira go, and Vieira took the initiative to step forward, and her purpose was also clear at a glance: release Qin Xiong!
He is here to hold Keane.
In the 26th minute of the game, Ashley Cole passed the ball straight to Qin Xiong with half a goal in the backcourt.
Qin Xiong received the ball with his back, and Fletcher stepped forward with a little nervousness to press it close to him.
While Qin Xiong leaned on the other party with his body to fight, the football was lifted off by him with his chest.
When the football was about to fall under his feet, Fletcher planned to steal it directly. When he just passed by Qin Xiong to seize the position, he saw that Qin Xiong's right foot did not swing greatly, but suddenly exerted force with his foot to lift the falling football!
The football took off again, and it flew behind Qin Xiong from the front of him around his head!
At the same time, Qin Xiong walked around Fletcher and turned around!
One moves forward, the other turns around, and passes by one by one, Fletcher sweats coldly, while Qin Xiong looks cold and a surging fighting spirit blooms in his eyes!
After Qin Xiong picked the ball with his back and passed Fletcher, he faced the football falling in the air and removed the ball with his right foot again. The football seemed to be stuck to his feet, lifting the weight lightly and extremely elegant!
He dribbled forward and decisively sent a threatening pass.
Because of his extraordinary ability, Manchester United was caught off guard, Heinze did not follow him in the next two seconds when Lyonberg cut inside the penalty area!
Qin Xiong's threatening pass was a diagonal pass over the top!
Yongbery quickly cut into the penalty area, rushed to the bottom line and jumped to complete the header!
Arsenal's attack was fast and fierce, and it was too late when the Manchester United defender turned around and chased back!
With Yongbery's rapid cut in, how could Henry in the middle just not be able to see it?
The football was headed by Lungberg to the front point of the penalty area. Henry volleyed without waiting for the football to land!
Chapter completed!
