Chapter Thirty-Five: The Main Force Becomes a Substitute
,
spn Manchester United prepared well before the game. They were relaxed and nervous. The players were all waiting for the big battle to come.
At this time, the media published a very shocking news, "Li Yu's mysterious girlfriend appeared in the United States!"
The news about Jenny was first reported by the media. Jenny is filming a movie in the United States.
The media linked the two things together. It has to be said that the media's ability to create news is really not limited. Ferguson did not come forward to explain, so they just followed their own ideas and said things had cause and effect.
At this time, Jenny was also keeping an eye on Li Yu's every move in the UK, but her father confiscated all the contact tools. She couldn't contact Li Yu even if she wanted to. There were still 8 months left in the one-year deadline.
At that time, my father was right. Some men in the football circle were no longer involved in socializing. It was out of this consideration that he decided to organize the two of them to get together.
He gave Li Yu a one-year observation period to let everyone calm down, look back at this relationship, and see clearly whether Li Yu was worth it for Jenny to abandon everything to be with him. That Ronaldo group gathering incident happened
Later, Jenny panicked. She was afraid that Li Yu was the kind of man her father described. Once she could find an excuse to convince her father, but what about the next time?
He must let Li Yu know his whereabouts, so he came to the United States and deliberately appeared in the media's cameras with a high profile. This was a reminder to Li Yu, hoping that he could pass the test of Jenny's father.
Of course, Li Yu didn't know that there were so many things going on here. He was currently focusing on the game that was about to start. As a substitute before the game, he stayed on the bench honestly. At least he had to wait until the next day.
It takes 60 minutes to get a chance to play.
At the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal deployed their main players, goalkeeper No. 1 Almunia, defender No. 3 Sagna, No. 10 Gala, No. 18 Silvestre, No. 22 Clichy, and midfielder No. 14 Wall.
Kurt, No. 4 Cesc Fabregas, No. 15 Denilson
, No. 2 Diaby, No. 8 Nasri, No. 26 Bendtner on the striker, 4-5-1 single forward formation, but Walcott is a standard winger, no one will regard him as a winger.
As an avant-garde, the formation on the field is somewhat deceptive.
Arsenal's main strikers Adebayor and Van Persie were injured and stopped. Wenger was forced to adopt a single striker strategy, and teenager Bendtner got the starting start. On the defense line, the injured Gallas and Silvestre formed a defender combination, and they were healthy.
Toure was sitting on the bench.
For Manchester United, Tevez replaced Li Yu's position and formed a strike partner with Rooney. Ronaldo appeared on the wing. Manchester United's formation has changed from what the media predicted before. The Portuguese who was originally going to form a striker with Li Yu
Switching to the right wing, Rooney was placed on the front line. Park Ji-sung and Luo formed a double wing, with Anderson and Carrick in the center to provide support.
The game started at 8:45 Beijing time. Although Li Yu was not in the starting lineup, there were still a large number of Chinese fans waiting to watch the game based on the appeal of the two teams.
The home court is also the bald home court of Weber, which is familiar to Chinese fans.
After the kick-off, the two teams did not disappoint the fans. The two teams started a direct attack.
In the 2nd minute, Almunia illegally received Sylvester's return pass 12 meters from the right rib of the penalty area. Referee Weber awarded a free kick. Rooney made a move and Anderson's shot was blocked by the wall. Carrick
Another shot from 15 meters missed the right goal post.
In the 7th minute, Luo launched a counterattack and passed from the right. Park Ji-sung seemed to miss him. Rooney shot with his right foot from 12 meters away. Almunia blocked it. Tevez scored with a supplementary shot, but the linesman signaled that Tevez was offside.
First.
In the 9th minute, Luo's right-footed free kick from 30 meters missed.
In the 11th minute, Nasri passed the ball, Chris crossed from the left, and Bendtner, who was guarding, headed the ball slightly higher from 6 meters away.
In the first ten minutes of the game, Manchester United used its efficient and large-scale offense to gain a certain advantage and formed a multi-footed and threatening offense.
After Tevez's follow-up shot, Li Yu thought the ball had been scored and had already stood up and applauded to celebrate the goal. Unexpectedly, the goal suddenly disappeared. He seemed to hear the old man sitting in front of him said something,
The place was a little noisy. Li Yu didn't know if he was using bad language, and he couldn't even hear it clearly.
Manchester United started off with a counter-attack attitude, while Arsenal was looking for an opportunity to counterattack. However, Arsenal at home were not conservative at all in their counterattack, especially Walcott's wing, which was extremely active. With Fabray
Gass organized the midfield in an orderly manner, and Arsenal's counterattack was full of power.
In the 12th minute, Rooney made a header from 16 meters and volleyed the ball high with his right foot.
In the 15th minute, Fabregas dropped a free kick from the right into the penalty area. Van der Sar hit the ball not far, and Diaby's shot from 10 meters was blocked by Carrick.[
In the 17th minute, Manchester United's frontcourt cooperated brilliantly. Tevez passed the ball to Ronaldo, who scored the ball. Rooney, who was defending, shot high from the penalty spot.
The tense and intense game is now only one goal away. Judging from the number of shots and the threat, everyone would think that Manchester United will be the first to score, but the charm of football lies in this. Just when Manchester United attacks fiercely,
Arsenal seized the opportunity and took the lead.
In the 22nd minute, Cesc Fabregas dropped a free kick from the right into the penalty area. Tevez headed the ball to clear the ball. Nasri intercepted the ball near the left corner of the penalty area and volleyed with his left foot. The ball hit Neville's thigh and deflected into the net. Van der Sar
There was nothing we could do about this goal. We could only watch the ball change its direction and enter the net. Arsenal 1:0.
"Damn, these lucky guys!" Li Yu was holding his head in frustration, but this time he heard clearly. The old man was really scolding, and it's not the fault of the old man. Manchester United had a good chance before, but now they are lagging behind.
, who can swallow this sigh of relief, especially against Arsenal led by Wenger, who will be convinced by the other two old enemies.
Ferguson immediately rushed to the sidelines and started roaring into the field, signaling the Manchester United players to start attacking.
Perhaps influenced by the goals and Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United began to increase their intensity in fighting.
In the 27th minute, Gala tripped Evra and received a yellow card.
In the 30th minute, Arsenal had an excellent opportunity to counterattack 3-on-2 in the frontcourt. Denilson passed the ball and Fabregas' right-footed shot from 16 meters was blocked by Vidic.
In the 33rd minute, Carrick passed the ball and Park Ji-sung fired a shot from 25 meters. Almunia fought hard to block it. Ronaldo got the ball from the bottom line but could not pass it out and was successfully cleared by his opponent.
In the 37th minute, Evra fouled Walcott and received a yellow card.
In the 38th minute, both Vidic and Ferdinand failed to clear the corner kick. In the melee, Sylvester's shot from 8 meters was blocked. His next shot was not powerful, and Van der Sar easily got the ball.
In the 40th minute, Sagna pulled Park Ji-sung's jersey and received a yellow card.
In the 41st minute, Nasri passed the ball from the left rib of the penalty area, and Walcott volleyed from 6 meters behind.
In the 44th minute, Rooney's cross hit Clichy's hand, but referee Weber ignored it.
In the 45th minute, Anderson broke into the left rib of the penalty area and shot a low shot into the near corner from 8 meters away. Almunia came to the rescue.
At the end of the first half, Arsenal led Manchester United 1:0. Judging from the comparison of the two teams' shots, Manchester United now lacked a player with one shot to lock the goal. Ferguson did not say anything, and the assistant coach began to let the bench go.
All the players went to the field to warm up.
Li Yu knew that if Manchester United could not regain the score 10 minutes before the start of the second half, he would have a high chance of playing. Now he must fully warm up. 15 minutes is not long or short, and the players from the two teams will soon
They returned to the field one after another and prepared to start the second half of the game.
Ferguson saw Li Yugang wanting to return to the bench and said, "You go to the sidelines to warm up!"
After hearing Sir Alex Ferguson's words, Li Yu knew that his opportunity was probably coming soon. Behind the Manchester United goal, Li Yu started jogging back and forth, stretching his muscles from time to time.
Unexpectedly, Li Yu witnessed Manchester United falling behind again. Just three minutes into the second half, Fabregas got rid of Neville and passed the ball diagonally behind him. Nasri got the ball 20 meters in front of the goal.
Without hesitation, he volleyed into the lower left corner of the goal. Van der Sar failed to save and was scored again by his opponent. Arsenal led Manchester United 2:0.
The entire Emirates Stadium was full of excited shouts from Arsenal fans. Li Yu, who was behind the goal, had an indescribable urge to rush into the field and block the shot with his body.
The assistant coach called Li Yu to the bench, and Ferguson whispered in Li Yu's ear, "When you go up, free Ronaldo from the wing to the center, and pull Rooney behind you. The three of you have only one task, to advance.
Ball, goal, must be scored, do you hear me clearly?"
Li Yu couldn't help but nodded to express his understanding. Soon the fourth official took advantage of Manchester United's preparations to kick the ball in the circle and played the substitution sign. No. 9 Li Yu came on the field to replace No. 13 Park Ji-sung!
Sir Alex Ferguson placed Tevez and Rooney behind Li Yu and Ronaldo, and the four main strikers appeared on the field at the same time. Everyone knew that Manchester United was going to risk their lives against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. This desperate momentum alone was enough.
Arsenal had a drink.
Wenger immediately stood up and came to the side of the field, nervously observing the situation on the field.
Li Yu's appearance indeed brought some offensive changes. He dared to break through with the ball and make moves on the front line. Especially when facing Arsenal's two injured central defenders, Li Yu was merciless and directly used his speed.
Eaten the opponent alive, if Webb's whistle was not too lenient, Manchester United would have won a well-positioned free kick long ago.
Manchester United's crazy attack continued. Rooney retreated to the midfield to get the ball, and suddenly passed a scalpel-like precise pass. This powerful cross quickly passed through Cesc Fabregas' control.
Passed into the restricted area.
The moment Rooney passed the ball, Li Yu suddenly took two steps back. When Sylvester, who was guarding him, was stunned, Li Yu suddenly accelerated and got rid of Sylvester with incredible agility and speed.
Special defense rushed into the penalty area.
However, although Sylvester tried his best to catch up, he was still unable to block Li Yu's shot. Li Yu faced goalkeeper Almunia with a volley. He intended to hit the far corner, but unfortunately he pursued the angle too much. Football opportunity
It hit the post and crossed the baseline. The slow-motion replay showed that if the ball had only moved half a centimeter further, a wonderful goal would have occurred.
Li Yu scratched his hair in annoyance and rubbed his sweat on his jersey. He was still a little impatient with his shot just now. When Li Yu turned around and ran back, he did not forget Hill, who had just been passed by him.
West, the eyes of the French are very unfriendly.
Arsenal escaped disaster. Although the ball was not scored, Manchester United's offensive momentum was even better. Ronaldo then made another breakthrough on his side. On the right side of the penalty area, the Portuguese did not observe the situation in the penalty area at all.
Will be uploaded immediately.
Li Yu sped up and ran towards the spot where the ball landed. Sylvester, who couldn't keep up, made some mischief with his feet. His movements were very small, just hooking Li Yu's feet. Li Yu immediately rushed out, but the ball didn't touch him.
Collided with Arsenal's goalkeeper.
When Ferguson saw the two men lying in the penalty area, he immediately rushed to the sidelines and loudly asked Wenger on the other side, "What the hell, is this Arsenal's defense?"
