The spn fans had just finished shouting. At this time, the players entered the field. The home team's players entered first. The big screen began to show the player numbers and player portraits. The on-site commentator shouted each player's last name, and the fans followed.
Complete the name, and then there is a burst of warm applause.
Arsenal's starting lineup for this game (4-3-3):
Goalkeeper:01-Almunia;
Defenders: 03-Sagna, 5-Toure, 20-Jolu, 40-Gibbs;
Midfielder: 4-Fabregas, 17-Song, 8-Nasri; [
Forwards: 14-Walcott, 25-Adebayor, 11-Van Persie;
After Arsenal's last starting player came out of the tunnel, the Manchester United players lined up, but they were greeted by deafening boos, especially Li Yu. When the commentator called his name, the boos were so loud that it made people laugh.
Even if they are face to face, they cannot hear each other's voice.
In fact, Li Yu has no grudges with Arsenal fans, and he has never said anything insulting to Arsenal. However, given that Li Yu is currently the top scorer in Manchester United, it is also the first time that he has enjoyed more boos than Ronaldo in an away game.
, no matter what, the Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium think Li Yu is the most threatening.
Manchester United also has a 443 formation for this game:
At this time, another famous person was spotted on the big screen in the box. It was none other than the well-known British football star, David Beckham!
It was somewhat surprising that he could appear in the box, but the Arsenal fans did not give the handsome Beckham any good treatment. There is no doubt that in the minds of Arsenal fans, Beckham is from Manchester United.
Mixed with whistles and applause, the charm of the heartthrob seems not to be very effective at the Emirates Stadium!
If Manchester United has the last laugh in this game, they will become the first defending champion to successfully reach the final since Juventus in the 199697 season; while extending the Champions League unbeaten record to 25 games, it also ends Arsenal's record at the Emirates Stadium.
A total of 24 unbeaten home games in the Champions League in 61 months.
UEFA attaches great importance to this UEFA Champions League and Premier League match and specially appointed Danish Larsson to enforce the law. Arsenal is no stranger to this referee. Last season, they encountered one eighth of Milan at the Emirates Stadium.
The enforcer of the final was the Dane Larsson.
At 20:45 local time in the UK, with Larsson's whistle, this game will be the day when a new winner is born in the contest between the two "longevity" coaches. The first round of the contest has changed the results of the two.
With 14 wins, 10 draws and 14 losses, this game will be a very important game on the resumes of the two coaches.
After the game started, Arsenal took advantage of their home advantage and launched a fierce attack on Manchester United's half. Walcott, Fabregas, Nasri, and Song were like ferocious beasts, heading towards Manchester United.
The team's goal launched a fierce attack.
Ferguson was already prepared for Arsenal's onslaught after the start of the game. He also specifically warned the team before the game that the first 15 minutes after the start of the game would be a difficult time for the game. During this period, the team could even give up the attack.
, return to defense across the board, wait until you have recovered your breath, and then attack slowly.
However, today's heavy rain also had a big impact on Arsenal. Without this heavy rain, perhaps Arsenal could have used their smooth and fast cooperation to gain the upper hand, suppress Manchester United near their penalty area, and use fast short passes.
Cooperating to create murderous opportunities, it is a pity that the sudden heavy rain disrupted Arsenal's plan. In the rain, Arsenal's passing accuracy decreased, errors increased, dribbling and passing speed decreased, and the offensive efficiency also decreased a lot.
The heavy rain brought surprises, but God is also fair. Teams like Manchester United and Arsenal that pay attention to ground passing are bound to be affected to varying degrees.
Manchester United also failed to organize a more effective counterattack, and both sides began to gradually focus on the midfield battle. For a while, scenes of people falling on their backs continued to appear.
In less than 10 minutes, all the players' jerseys were covered in mud.[
The scene was really ugly, and the style of the two teams was not played at all!
Li Yu finally received Anderson's pass, stepped on the ball on the spot, and was about to pass Fabregas, but he passed. However, Fabregas pulled him behind him, and Li Yu's foot touched
He slipped and immediately fell and the old man got into bed.
The football fell to Ronaldo's feet, and the Danish referee raised his hand to indicate that the offense would be favorable and the game could continue.
Ronaldo hoisted the football into the penalty area. Toure grabbed the front of Rooney and pushed the football out. Carrick's chest was padded and he shot directly from a long distance. However, his foot slipped and the shot was really deflected. It was not deflected.
The ball hit the corner flagpole without leaning, and the Arsenal fans immediately cheered, adding a touch of joy to the dull game.
Seeing that the attack was terminated, the referee also found Fabregas and verbally warned Fabregas for his foul action of pulling down Li Yu just now.
Li Yu also walked over. He thought Fabregas should at least get a yellow card, but the Dane ignored his protest.
Seeing Fabregas shrugging his shoulders proudly, Li Yu glanced at him, and Fabregas waved away and walked away.
Almunia's goal kick initiates the attack.
Toure knocked the football to Nasri who came back to assist. Li Yu immediately came up to press for the ball. Nasri immediately chose to knock back. Gibbs took two steps and drove the football towards the frontcourt with a big kick.
Seeing Gibbs' big kick, Wenger frowned slightly on the sidelines.
Today's heavy rain is really terrible. On such a field, it is not easy for Arsenal, who mainly focus on short passing coordination and quick progress, to organize an effective attack. There is a lot of water in the field, and passes often occur when passing the ball.
If the ball is not in place, players may accidentally slip when receiving the ball.
In this case, once a mistake is made and the opponent counterattacks, it will be very fatal. Therefore, both sides appear to be cautious to avoid mistakes.
"Damn heavy rain, a game that should have been exciting has been ruined by this heavy rain. Are we watching a rugby game?" Sky TV's commentator was still complaining about the weather.
He could only complain a few words, after all, no one could do anything against God, and the rain even showed signs of getting heavier.
However, just when the commentator complained that the heavy rain affected the excitement of the game, an extremely wonderful goal appeared.
Nasri got the ball in the frontcourt and pretended to break through, attracting the attention of Manchester United's defenders. Then he suddenly split the ball and Sagna rushed over to respond.
O'Shea fell to the ground to tackle, but Sagna picked up the football. He cleared it. After landing, Sagna almost slipped, but he got up unusually quickly. Amidst the applause of the Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium,
He walked the ball towards the penalty area and then kicked the ball in.
Van Persie jumped up in the penalty area and headed the ball across.
The ball was passed to Walcott. Walcott did not stop the ball, but used his knee to cushion the football. Then people saw Fabregas speeding up and rushing forward.
"Damn it!"
At this time, Van der Sar didn't care to blame his teammates for letting Fabregas burst in. When he saw the ball on Fabregas' chest, he immediately attacked decisively. He wanted to rush over to attack the ball at Fabregas' feet.
However, Fabregas seemed to expect that Van der Sar would attack. He did not hesitate at all and immediately took a shot. Although the angle of Fabregas' shot was not very tricky, the football soaked by the rain was very heavy and wet.
The ball moved very fast on the slippery turf, and Van der Sar fell to the ground to save it, but he still couldn't stop the ball.[
The football rolled quickly towards the goal. Vidic quickly returned to the defense on the other side. He flew over from the goal line and tried to kick the ball out, but he was a step too late. The ball still rolled in after grazing his feet.
The net.
"goooooooooooooooool!!! Arsenal scored! Fabregas scored! Expanded the score, Fabregas, wonderful goal! 1:0! Arsenal is ahead! In such poor field conditions, leading
A goal is not easy! Both sides are back on the same starting line!"
Li Yu wiped the rain from his face and looked depressed as Cesc Fabregas celebrated his goal and accepted the cheers of the fans.
He was in very good condition today, but scoring goals is really hard to explain.
A small accident or a mistake can lead to a goal. You don't know when the goal will come suddenly.
Arsenal's first threatening attack resulted in a goal, especially Cesc Fabregas' goal. This made Li Yu feel very angry. He glanced at the celebrating Arsenal players again and Li Yu clenched his fists.
The most direct way for a man to retaliate to his opponent is with his iron fist, and the best way on the court is undoubtedly to score a goal.
This is what Li Yu is going to do in this game. He needs to work hard to find opportunities, run like crazy, and never let go of the slightest chance.
After the restart, Li Yu passed the ball back to the midfielder. Anderson controlled the ball and dribbled forward. He tried his best to control the football at his feet.
Ronaldo reached out for the ball, and Anderson glanced at the Portuguese, raised his right foot, and made a pass with the arch of his foot. Song was immediately fooled, but Anderson pushed the ball forward, and he accelerated and broke through!
This is the power of Anderson and the reason why Ferguson spent a lot of money to introduce him. This defensive player has extraordinary skills and delicate footwork that other midfield defensive players do not have. He is both fierce and agile.
The Manchester United fans at the Emirates Stadium immediately cheered loudly, but the cheers were quickly covered up by the boos from the Arsenal fans.
After the breakthrough, Anderson faced Sagna's attack and stopped the football suddenly and almost slipped. Fortunately, Nani put his left hand on the ground, stabilized himself, and intercepted Sagna's pass.
This was a 45-degree slant shot in front of the goal. Li Yu jumped high in front of the goal, but he did not hit the ball. Toure, who was defending him, also did not hit the ball.
In the middle, Rooney jumped to head the ball. Gibbs and Fabregas beside him also jumped at the same time, but the three of them interfered with each other and no one touched the ball.
"Ronaldo appeared and then pointed, and others were marking him! He volleyed directly!" Sky TV commentator Lineker jumped up and roared.
Almunia's reaction was faster than optical fiber. He jumped forward and blasted the ball out of the boundary with his fists!
There were exclamations in the stands of the Emirates Stadium, and many Arsenal fans patted their chests with their hands, congratulating themselves for the scene just now. Then applause broke out, which was dedicated to goalkeeper Almunia.
The good form from the previous game was carried over to the second round.
Corner kick for Manchester United.
In the heavy rain, Manchester United did not use any tactics to take corner kicks. Ronaldo ran to the corner flag and raised his hand to indicate that this was a front point. Li Yu watched the Portuguese's actions intently, and he wanted to judge the accuracy of the ball immediately.
Drop point.
The ball was quickly driven forward by Ronaldo, and a blue figure appeared across the sky. Please don't be surprised. This is an away game. The Red Devils can only choose blue uniforms, and the clear numbers behind the blue lightning tell people that he is
Who, Li Yu had already jumped high and hit the ball hard with his head.
Where did Arsenal's defensive players go? Toure, who was still making harsh words before the game, was dumbfounded. This cannot be entirely blamed on Toure. Just now, Li Yu was wandering outside the penalty area. Who knows why he suddenly appeared in
It was pointed before. In Manchester United's corner kick attacks in the past, Li Yu always fought for the second spot. Wenger kept emphasizing this before the game, but today Li Yu started to grab the spot and attack the goal.
Fortunately, Almunia, who was in excellent condition, once again made a wonderful save. It was a completely unconventional action, more like a save action on a volleyball court. It was too late to fly to save, so he had to quickly use his feet.
Blocked the ball.
Amid the exclamations of the audience, Toure followed up with a kick and cleared the ball out of the dangerous area, which somewhat saved Toure's face.
It's still an offensive opportunity for Manchester United.
Anderson ran to the left and received Evra's through ball. He led the ball over and Song immediately came up to defend.
The field became increasingly slippery, and Anderson did not dare to dribble the ball too much this time. He paused the ball, took a step forward, and passed it to Ronaldo, who was retreating to receive the ball. The latter directly kicked the ball towards
Frontcourt.
This was an overhead ball. The football flew over the heads of Arsenal's two central defenders Toure and Silvestre. From everyone's perspective, the ball was caught by goalkeeper Almunia. Almunia
He also thought so. He came out from the door, raised his arm, indicating that this was his ball, and was ready to take off the football when it fell.
However, at this moment, a blue figure rushed towards Arsenal's goal, like a blue lightning streaking across the sky and splitting the rain curtain.
It’s Manchester United’s No. 9 Li Yu!
Almunia saw Li Yu rushing over. He estimated the distance between himself and the football, hesitated for a moment, and was not sure he could get the football before Li Yu. He quickly stepped back and shouted for the defender to come up and make a rescue.
Toure and Sylvester were both frightened and quickly accelerated back to defense. However, Li Yu, who had already started to speed up, was not something that these two could easily catch up with. The time had come to end their lives.
Looking down from the stands of the Emirates Stadium, a blue lightning is moving through the rain curtain, but its sides are always dotted with two red clouds, which never give up and slowly close together.
Everyone looked at these three people, seeing that Toure and Sylvester were about to encircle Li Yu, and Manchester United's attack would come to an end.
At this time, a scene that stunned everyone appeared.
Li Yu, who was running accelerating, made an incredible shooting movement. He pushed his right foot on the ground and stretched out his arms. His whole body was like a glider about to soar into the sky. He soared forward and flew upwards. His whole body was off the ground and in the air.
Hanging in the air, he threw his head forward and hit the football rolling in the air hard...
Throwing his body completely in the air, Li Yu had only the ball in his eyes and the shot in his mind. After completing the header, Li Yu fell heavily and hit the turf, causing a large splash of water.
Water splashed into Li Rui's eyes, and his vision blurred for a while, and he didn't know whether the ball was scored or not.
Almunia paid the price for his hesitation just now. He is now in an awkward position as a goalkeeper, between attacking and not attacking, because Almunia did not expect that Li Rui would attack the goal with such a shooting method.
The man was like a fired cannon, lifted off the ground, and his amazing ability to stay in the air made this header possible.
Almunia took two steps back and jumped up with all his strength, trying to stop the football from entering the net. He even felt that his fingertips touched the football, but he could not change the fall of the football. This black and white elf seemed to have given birth to a child.
It was so spiritual that it just slipped from his fingertips and fell heavily into the goal, causing a brilliant splash of water.
"goooooooooooooooooool!"
All the Manchester United fans were excitedly shouting the same person's name, Li Yu!
The Chinese commentator gave a more appropriate adjective, bomber, dive bomber. Li Yu showed us a black bomber with black hair and black eyes, and a golden bomber. Now for Chinese fans, it is all a cloud.
We have our own bomber, the black bomber.
The Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium were completely stunned by this goal. It was so beautiful, but what could they say?
There is only silence, how they hope this is Van Persie's shooting action, how wonderful that would be!
The happiest people are the Manchester United fans at the scene. They are so arrogant, look, look, they are constantly roaring and provoking. Is the Emirates Stadium nothing more than this?
Manchester United exceeded the total score again. The most important thing is that Li Yu's goal is an away goal that is more precious than gold!
