Seeing his team being suppressed by Manchester United, Wenger did not appear to be in a hurry. Instead, he sat calmly on the coaching bench and watched the game quietly.
On the contrary, Ferguson was very impatient and kept waving his arms towards Arsenal's half, gesturing for his disciples to press forward.
Seeing his disciple's offensive getting more and more fierce, Arsenal was suppressed and could only make sporadic counterattacks. A smile appeared on Ferguson's face, and he glanced at Wenger with confidence.
Ferguson knew very well the plan of his old rival, which was to use defense to delay the consumption of his physical energy and try his best to counterattack his team. After all, Arsenal had just returned from an expedition to Italy, and the physical crisis still hung over Arsenal's head.
.
However, Ferguson also has his own plan. As long as he scores first, Arsenal must attack in order to bite Chelsea. Then at the end of the game, his team will be more confident, and his team will beat Arsenal in one game.
He is very good at counterattacking, so taking the lead is the key point for his team in this game.
"Damn, what happened to the team?"
"Attack them and destroy them completely!"
"Goal, score, give them a fatal blow!"
"Hold on, we are the strongest team!"
.......
At this time, fans from both sides began to cheer in different ways. Arsenal fans cheered more for their team's defense, while Manchester United fans became more energetic. As their team's attacks came one after another, the cheers started to rise.
One wave after another.
However, Arsenal also had two or three chances. In the 27th minute of the game, Silva stole the ball in the backcourt and immediately passed it to the feet of Xiao Ge, who was advancing at high speed. Xiao Ge faced the attacks of Gary Neville and O'Shea.
When defending, Xiao Ge made a through ball and sent it to Adebayor's feet. Unfortunately, Adebayor's single-handedly shot was incredible and missed, which also annoyed countless people.
Arsenal could not seize the opportunity, and the Manchester United players were even more relaxed. The offensive was like a dark cloud over the city, which was suffocating to watch.
"Ven, Wayne hit the goal..., oh, damn, Lehmann's performance today was really annoying."
"Fanny, Ruud, shot, oh, Toure..., there is still a chance, there is still a chance, Park, Park's follow-up shot, oh, God, it missed?!"
"Header, oh my God, Vidic's header was saved."
...
Wave after wave, Taidu's shouts completely drowned out Senke's voice, and Senke died like an eggplant beaten by frost.
It seems to be in line with Senke's explanation. Arsenal's offense also showed no improvement. If Xiao Ge and others consciously held back and let Manchester United attack, then Manchester United, who played crazy, could not suppress it and passively
huddle.
Wenger finally couldn't sit still. He glanced at Ferguson who looked a little comfortable. Wenger knew that his plan was in vain. Manchester United is not like Villa and other teams. They have their own domineering team background. They don't
You will make very low-level mistakes because of temporary mishaps.
Realizing that his tactical intentions might not be achieved, and that the scene was deviating from his vision, Wenger quickly made a gesture to signal Xiao Ge and Hleb to press on in time to suppress Manchester United's arrogant attack.
arrogance.
But at this time, Manchester United's offensive could no longer be suppressed. In the 39th minute of the game, Manchester United, which had been attacking for nearly 20 minutes, finally reaped its fruits.
After Giggs received Vidic's pass, he charged directly from the right, but Xiao Ge was already waiting for him. Giggs originally planned to dribble the ball to get rid of Xiao Ge's defense, but he was entangled with Xiao Ge.
It might delay his team's offensive rhythm, so he directly moved the ball to the feet of Ronaldo, who had already moved forward.
And Pires has also fallen into his position, blocking Ronaldo. Ronaldo, who likes to fight alone, did not delay the opportunity at this time. He glanced behind him and saw Xiao Ge and Giggs coming over. Ronaldo
Knock directly horizontally, then rush past Pires without pausing.
Giggs stopped with his left foot without stopping, and before Xiao Ge could catch up, he flicked his long leg and passed the ball across half the court, directly shifting the focus of Manchester United's attack to the left.
At this time, due to Arsenal's timely pressure, the relative space on the pitch was widened. Giggs' pass accurately landed at the feet of Park Sam-lung, who could not run away. Park Ji-sung stopped the ball perfectly and started, directly getting rid of He.
Leib's defense was followed by a 100-meter sprint, which directly destroyed Arsenal's defense.
Eboue quickly attached himself to Park Ji-sung, constantly suppressing Park Ji-sung's breakthrough space. At the same time, he struggled from time to time, delaying Manchester United's offensive and allowing his teammates to rush back to defend.
However, Park Ji-sung did not rush in blindly. Seeing that Sylvester had already caught up, he made a pass and Sylvester took a few steps and quickly reached Arsenal's penalty area.
Arsenal's defense suddenly became turbulent, and the outflanking of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Rooney made Arsenal's defense even more precarious.
“gogogogogo!!!”
"Pass it, spread it!!!"
"Outflank, outflank!!!"
...
"Snatch it, grab it!!!"
"Watch them, watch them!!!"
"Tagging people, staring people!!!"
...
The Old Trafford stadium, which was originally quiet due to the lack of change in the scene, suddenly burst into flames. The shouts were like the roar of a mountain torrent, and the sound was enough to turn a virgin into a virgin. The tense atmosphere made everyone's blood boil.
The mood is surging.
Facing Toure's attack, Sylvester deftly flicked the ball into the penalty area. The Arsenal penalty area was crowded with people, and everyone's attention was focused on the erratic ball.
Silva carried Rooney, Senderos carried Ruud van Nistelrooy, and others also rushed to grab the ball where it landed.
Rooney deserves to be called "Little Fatty Rooney". Even though Silva kept pushing him, he still stood like a rock.
With a smooth movement of his right foot and a deft turn, Rooney faced the goal directly, but the penalty area was full of random feet, and when he turned around, Silva had already blocked his path. There was no space and no chance.
opportunity.
The little chubby guy, who has a good balance between football intelligence and weight, didn't panic at all. He controlled the ball skillfully and kept cutting inside, but Silva didn't dare to take a step easily. This was a restricted area and his explosive power was not as good as his opponent's.
Seeing their opponent making fuss in their penalty area, Arsenal's players immediately came to outflank him. Pires and Van Persie were already surrounding him.
Everyone's eyes were immediately focused on Rooney, and this little chubby guy had already started up.
But just when he was swinging to the left to get out of the way and attracting everyone's attention, he suddenly paused and made a light diagonal pass directly through Senderos' back.
A ghostly figure appeared, Cristiano Ronaldo. At this time, Xiao Ge was still watching Giggs. Although Flamini was aware of his forward thrust, his explosive power could not keep up, and his game state was not as good as his opponent's. He was just stunned.
In an instant, Ronaldo was already one position ahead of him.
By the time Flamini caught up, it was already too late, Ronaldo had already raised his foot.
With a deft push, Lehmann hurriedly rushed over and watched the ball go under his crotch. Looking back, white waves rolled in.
