Arsenal took the lead and quickly opened up the formation. Henry sent the ball to the midfield and inserted into Manchester United's frontcourt with Robin van Persie.
Arsenal quickly launched an attack based on their inherent coordination, and the ball was handed to Fabregas's feet immediately. After more than half a season of training, Fabregas has become the commander of Arsenal's midfield, although there are some places
He didn't handle it maturely, but with the help of Pires, Silva and others, he slowly showed his talents.
On the Manchester United side, Giggs was tightly wrapped around Fabregas, preventing him from taking the ball easily. Following Fabregas, he secretly interfered with Fabregas' dribbling rhythm from time to time.
Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy are constantly roaming between Silva and Fabregas. This is also the tactic arranged by Ferguson. Once they have the opportunity to steal the ball, they will immediately launch an offensive.
After Cesc Fabregas cooperated with Xiao Ge in a two-on-one game, he quickly dribbled the ball into the frontcourt.
After Fabregas dunked Scholes' interception, he quickly divided the ball and Xiao Ge had already covered it.
At this time, Evra appeared next to Xiao Ge for the first time. This was a deliberate arrangement by Ferguson. Although Xiao Ge removed the ball, Evra had already come up and kept squeezing Xiao Ge with his strong body.
"Damn, this kid is really powerful."
Evra kept making small movements on Xiao Ge, trying to squeeze away the opponent's body and steal the ball, but his pulling did not cause any trouble to Xiao Ge. Instead, he and Xiao Ge pushed and shoved him many times.
Push, the position is quickly lost, and the best defensive opportunity can no longer be found.
Sylvester saw Evra being thrown away by Xiao Ge and hurriedly came to block it. If he let him pass Evra and then defended himself, he might have been passed easily.
Xiao Ge dribbled the ball at full speed, using his frequency conversion to make Evra stumble along. He was about to shake off the oil bottle behind him, when Sylvester appeared in front of him, getting closer and closer.
The moment the two of them got close, Xiao Ge first stepped on the ball and stopped his pace. Then he moved the inside of his right foot and quickly sent the ball behind Sylvester, twisting his waist.
, cutting inside to the center without the ball.
Eboue jumped out from behind Xiao Ge immediately, got the ball before Sylvester, and quickly drove in along the sideline.
Sylvester's turn was not slow. The moment Eboue caught the ball, he had already blocked his inside line, preventing him from entering.
Eboue glanced at the situation in the middle, accelerated, smashed the ball, followed up, and sent the ball to Xiao Ge's feet again.
When Xiao Ge got the ball at the front of the penalty area, Evra appeared in front of him again, and most of the Manchester United players had already shrunk near the penalty area, denying the Arsenal players any space to pass or catch the ball.
Xiao Ge started his body quickly, then smashed the ball, changed direction, and with a flick, the center of gravity of his body kept moving rapidly, causing Evra's center of gravity to shake. He finally pulled the ball again, moved it to the left, and quickly moved from
The opponent did not react quickly and passed by him, cutting inside into the penalty area.
However, when Xiao Ge just emerged from behind Evra, Giggs had already extended his long legs to intercept the ball.
Xiao Ge moved his left foot horizontally, turned his body, twisted his upper body to the right, exerted force with his left foot, like a piece of dough twisting, and instantly changed direction and rushed over.
Xiao Ge's super explosive power caught Giggs off guard, and he hurriedly turned around to intercept Xiao Ge's overtaking.
Xiao Ge returned to the right side, started at full speed, and ran out like a cheetah at full power. He ignored Giggs' pull and grabbed the opportunity before Sylvester came over. He rubbed the arch of his right foot and the ball touched
Touching the turf, the low ball quickly passed in front of Vidic and flew to the front of the small penalty area.
"Oh oh oh oh, Robin, Robin~~~~"
"Damn it, stop him, don't let him get there first."
When Xiao Ge passed Giggs, Henry consciously moved forward to the left, but Van Persie caught up from behind Henry. The change of position of the two immediately caused Manchester United's defense to appear in front of the small penalty area.
An empty space.
Van Persie rushed towards that point with all his strength, trying to score a goal, but before he arrived, there was someone who was faster than him.
Van der Sar had noticed the changes in the entire penalty area. When he saw his teammate missed the ball, he immediately attacked, fell to the ground and dived sideways, quickly picking off the low-flying ball.
"Oh oh oh oh, Van der Sar, our patron saint, the strongest patron saint!!!"
"Ah, **, this ball is really unlucky."
Compared to Tendo's excitement, Senke was extremely regretful. It would have been wonderful if he had scored in the first minute of the game.
"Oh, **, Robin could have been faster." "Phew, it scared me to death." "Papa, papa, pa"~~~~; the atmosphere in the stadium was also boosted by this ball, and the Arsenal fans sent
There were bursts of applause.
After Manchester United escaped the disaster, they immediately launched their own offensive.
Scholes, Giggs and others cooperated in the middle to send the ball to the frontcourt, and Rooney stepped forward to respond.
Rooney first squeezed through Silva's seal, saw Ronaldo surrounded by the opponent, quickly sent the ball to the left, and then quickly inserted himself into the middle.
Evra had already moved forward at high speed. When he saw Rooney passing the ball, he started to speed up and like a leopard, he passed from behind Eboue and grabbed the next step to unload the ball.
Eboue's body was unable to resist the attack, and he stumbled to the ground. A big gap immediately appeared on Arsenal's right side.
When Evra wanted to cut into the penalty area, a very fast figure suddenly flew past him, and he fell to the ground.
After Eboue missed the ball, Xiao Ge immediately covered up the defense. He made a sliding tackle directly in front and intercepted the ball directly before Evra could react.
"Foul, foul, referee, this is a foul!!!"
"Did you see clearly when I committed a foul?"
Eboue wanted to advance with the ball, but Evra fell to the ground, clutching his knee in pain, and had to kick the ball off the court.
Rooney immediately rushed forward, pointed at Xiao Ge and asked the referee to give him a card, but Xiao Ge refused to accept this at all and counterattacked with a mocking look on his face.
Atkinson also shook his head. He saw the ball clearly just now. Xiao Ge did not touch Evra's feet at all, nor did he shine the soles of his shoes. He just asked Manchester United's team doctor to come up.
The game was interrupted for nearly a minute, and Evra rubbed his thigh in pain.
When the game restarted, Manchester United sent the ball back to Arsenal. Arsenal immediately launched an attack, and Manchester United was also ready. The two sides began to compete continuously on the wing.
Xiao Ge's speed and body made Evra suffer a lot, but Evra's unreasonable pulling and squeezing, coupled with Giggs' double-teaming from time to time, made Xiao Ge return without success many times.
As for Pires, it is not that easy for Arsenal. Cristiano Ronaldo has grown too fast. In the first match of this season, Pires can still contain Cristiano Ronaldo, but this time Pires' limelight was suppressed by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Yes, Silva helped Pires defend on many occasions.
In the middle, Scholes and Fabregas also refused to give an inch, and the two teams fought fiercely.
"Oh, Wayne is in, knock on the door, **."
"Van der Sar, Van der Sar saved Xiao's shot again."
"Robin, Robin fell to the ground, damn, that should have been a penalty, **."
"Damn it, Ryan, Ryan's shot hit the crossbar, what a pity."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Thierry, Thierry, Thierry, you are the best~~~~~~~~;"
"Xiao, Xiao, Xiao, knock on the door, knock on the door, Xiao~~~~~~~~~~~~"
"Ven, Venn, Venn, kill them~~~~~~~~"
"Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, get over him, get over him~~~~~~~~~~"~~~~~~~
With the offensive of both sides, the entire Millennium Stadium was filled with eager shouts. The entire stadium was buzzing, and more than 70,000 people roared. Like an ancient battlefield, red waves continued to hit the yellow camp.
, fans from both sides cheered crazily for their players. The madness of England fans shocked the world.
At this time, Wenger and Ferguson were also looking at the stadium with solemn faces. It was up to them to see who could not withstand such a high-intensity opponent first.
Manchester United's side is obviously calmer. Ferguson started to update his team very early, so the players in the team are more mature mentally.
The Arsenal players were more energetic, with Robin van Persie, Xiao Ge, and Cesc Fabregas constantly pressing Manchester United's midfield with their own hard work.
"Beep beep beep"
"Damn it, you went for someone else."
"No, I was just fighting for the ball, and my hands opened naturally."
"It was just an accident." "Vidic pressed Robin first."~~~~~~
The Manchester United players rushed over and surrounded Van Persie to accuse him. Van Persie tried his best to explain, putting his hands behind his back. He didn't want to go down so early. Henry and Xiao Ge immediately protected him behind him.
And blood kept pouring out of Vidic's eye sockets. After standing up, he staggered obviously and couldn't stand at all. He quickly fell to the ground. When fighting for the ball just now, Van Persie's arm hit his eye socket.
It looked like he had some concussion.
"Didi, didi, didi," Atkinson signaled the Manchester United players to go away first, and asked someone to take Vidic down on a stretcher. He glanced at Van Persie and brought him over.
"Referee, I didn't foul intentionally at all, it was just an accident." Van Persie looked at Atkinson nervously. If he was sent off, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
"Don't act so big next time."
Atkinson asked the linesman for his opinion and smiled at Van Persie, obviously not intending to impose a heavy penalty. For the ball just now, Van Persie just jumped on the spot, while Vidic came up from behind. There was nothing to say, but in order to control
At the scene, Atkinson took out a yellow card from his pocket as a warning.
"Shhhhhhhhhhhh" "Unfair, unfair!!!" "Did it blind you!!!"~~~~~
Seeing that Atkinson only gave Van Persie a yellow card, the Manchester United fans at the scene gave up and sent endless boos.
