spn" - Van Persie's header was slightly higher than the crossbar, which shocked Foster into a cold sweat - he jumped up hard, but did not touch the football. Seeing that the football seemed to fall into the net, he did not expect that it did not
It fell, but flew out in a straight line. -》"
Although it hurt a little after falling from the air, Foster breathed a sigh of relief after getting up. Seeing that the first half of the game was about to end, it would be too bad if Arsenal scored. It would definitely be bad for morale.
A huge blow.
"Ah! Damn it! What a pity! What a pity!" The London commentator was so anxious that he even cursed to show the intensity of his pity, "This is another threatening shot by Robin van Persie after the game started.
"The goal, the header is quite beautiful, but it's a pity. If this goal had been scored, the second half of the game would have been much easier."
Wenger on the sidelines also looked annoyed. Seeing that the first half of the game was about to end, first Van Persie's long-distance run and then his header missed the goal. This is really a pity.
On the other side, Ferguson muttered something dissatisfied, and no one knew what he was talking about. The old Scottish man turned his head and glanced at the Arsenal coaching bench next door, and then sat back on the coaching bench.[
At this time, an electronic sign indicating 1 minute of injury time for the first half was raised on the sidelines.
Manchester United almost expanded the score within this minute.
This was an effective cooperation between Rooney and Li Yu. Nani sent a through ball from the wing. Li Yu ran towards the football, but did not stop the ball. Instead, he jumped directly from the football. The one who really "stepped in" to catch the ball was
Rooney suddenly got involved.
The little fat man immediately accelerated and used his speed to break through Clichy's defense, then broke through to the left side of the penalty area and shot directly. The football slid past the goal, and he had an intimate encounter with the goal post.
Contact, hit the side net.
This caused a lot of regretful gasps from the home fans at Old Trafford.
As Manchester United's last threatening attack ended, the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, and Manchester United led Arsenal 1:0 at home.
The players' corridor during halftime was very lively, with footsteps and conversations mixed together and buzzing. Li Yu sneezed, and Rooney asked him with concern. Li Yu shook his head and said that he was fine. Maybe his nose was allergic. Rooney
He just joked that Li Rui is a Manchester United baby every bit of his body.
The group was chatting and laughing, but most of the Manchester United players did not talk to the Arsenal players. Many of the players between the two teams were teammates of the national team, and of course some were good friends. However, the game was not over yet.
The teams are mortal enemies. At this time, there really is nothing to talk about.
Returning to the dressing room, as soon as I closed the door, the noise in the corridor disappeared, there was no sound, and the dressing room became quiet. The Glazer family in the United States took over the Manchester United team, and the Manchester United dressing room also underwent some renovations.
, the effect after the renovation is indeed good, at least the sound insulation performance is better than before. Once the door of the dressing room is closed, no sound can be heard outside. In the past, the singing or booing in the stadium could not be heard.
It can float into the locker room, and the sound of walking in the corridor can be faintly heard, which will have an impact on the team to some extent.
Ferguson first praised the team's performance in the first half. Generally speaking, being able to open the scoring and hold on to a one-goal lead satisfied the Scottish old man. Ferguson praised Li Yu and Rooney for their work on the front line today.
Very good.
Of course, there are still areas of dissatisfaction.
Next, Ferguson scolded Fletcher bloody. The old Scottish man could see clearly from the audience that if Fletcher could be more aggressive about Van Persie's long-distance attack, Van Persie would
It won't be that comfortable. Of course, it's not just Fletcher's defense this time. Several other defensive players were also scolded bloody. In Ferguson's view, the Manchester United team imposed on Arsenal players.
The pressure is not enough, so we have to completely increase the defensive hardness.
Although Fletcher was unwilling to be scolded by the head coach, he did not dare to say anything. He lowered his head and looked annoyed when he saw him like this.
The method of one big stick and one sweet date is a universal truth. After criticizing Fletcher, Ferguson also praised the Scotsman. He praised Fletcher for his many effective and accurate long passes, which is very important to the forwards.
The help is still very big.
Fletcher's mood improved a lot and there was a smile on his face.
This is the brilliance of Ferguson. He first reprimanded Fletcher and let the defense know the shortcomings of the first half, and then praised Fletcher a few words. This is to increase Fletcher's self-confidence. This is to criticize first and then praise.
The order is also very important, and it is not random. Sir Alex Ferguson's psychological tactics are very good, we all know it.
There is a very quiet atmosphere in the visiting team dressing room at Old Trafford.
Wenger's players, who were a little excited because of the score, laughed. Of course, he regretted that at the end of the first half, he entered the halftime break with a settled score, but the 'Professor' was not too disappointed.
How dissatisfied he was with Manchester United's attack, Li Yu's goal, and Arsenal's defense being torn apart. He couldn't blame the players too much.
What's more - the professor also knows that he is the head coach and the leader of this group of people, and he cannot show too many negative emotions in front of them.[
Therefore, Wenger smiled, telling his disciples that he actually did not care about the score. Sure enough, seeing the expression of 'Professor', some players also breathed a sigh of relief. Being behind in the score had already made them
I'm stressed, and it will be even worse if I get scolded again.
Two of the top coaches in the Premier League and even the world, their coaching styles are completely different!
Wenger spread his hands and said to the players: "I never said we would keep a clean sheet in this game, so I don't want to say anything more about the goal we conceded. Facing Manchester United, no one can guarantee a clean sheet.
In fact, we did not have good luck in the first half. There was only one thing we had to do in the second half, which was to score more goals than Manchester United."
Hearing what the 'Professor' said, many players nodded secretly, and they also complained in their hearts. Arsenal did not have no chances in the first half of the game, especially those two chances by Van Persie. Unfortunately, Arsenal's luck was bad.
Point, two chances failed to result in a goal.
Wenger saw that the atmosphere was right and the players' emotions were rising. At this time, he also began to wake up his players, "In the second half of the game, the first thing to pay attention to is defense. Pay attention to the defense of Li Yu. I believe no one is being caught now."
Is this kid deceived by his youth? The strength of the European Champions Cup Golden Boot cannot be ignored. Everyone must keep this in mind. Do you understand what I mean?"
The players in the locker room nodded to express their understanding.
"Next, let's talk about offense. We are behind in the score now. Only offense can have a chance to win..." The 'Professor' drew an arrow on the tactical board and began to arrange the tactics for the second half.
After the start of the second half, the hearts of Manchester United fans became tight. The slow-heating problem in the first half did not appear, but at the beginning of the second half, Manchester United's old problems seemed to have returned, and it was still in the second half.
Even more worrying!
"Arshavin passed O'Shea and made a beautiful and accurate through ball!! Van Persie broke into the penalty area! He shot! He was blocked by Foster! What a danger!"
"Manchester United's backup goalkeeper has saved Manchester United many times today!"
"Arsenal's corner kick, Vermaelen grabbed the ball and missed it. He is not very tall, but he can always get the ball to where it lands unexpectedly."
After the start of the second half of the game, Arsenal started a frantic attack. Situations like this kept happening within ten minutes of the start of the second half.
For a moment, Manchester United's goal seemed to be in danger.
Ferguson couldn't sit still. He stood up from his seat, walked out and walked around before returning.
The defense of the Manchester United players in the midfield was obviously very loose due to Arsenal's large-scale transfer of the ball in the second half, and it was impossible to form an effective interception. Fletcher's defense was tougher than in the first half. However, Park Ji-sung
At the time, it once again became a problem for Manchester United. The Koreans have good physical fitness, but today they always grab the ball very recklessly and cannot effectively intercept at all.
Ferguson is now hesitant. Should he replace the opponent with a midfielder with strong defensive ability to increase the rigidity of the midfielder? Retract a little and try to hold on to a ball advantage? Or should he replace him with an offensive player and use offense?
How about containing the Arsenal counterattack?
To attack or to defend, that is the question.
Ferguson did not hesitate for too long, and the situation on the field could not wait for long. Giggs and Valencia were called up at the same time to do warm-up activities.
This is a very obvious signal. The two warm-up substitutes are midfielders, and the old man has had enough patience with the midfielder!
After Park Ji-sung saw his teammates starting to warm up on the sidelines, he knew that one of them must have replaced him. He was a little discouraged, but he was still on the court at the moment, and he couldn't relax even a little bit, lest his condition be replaced.
Maybe it's a good thing, but it will only make the players less confident the more they play!
Arsenal's biggest change in the second half was to revitalize the left wing. This time it was still the left wing that launched the attack. Arsenal's left wing was Manchester United's right wing. The midfielder was Park Ji-sung's main area. After receiving Denilson's direct pass,
After blocking the ball, Tsar Arshavin made a slight adjustment and saw the Manchester United player in front of him blocking the ball. He decisively volleyed the shot with his right foot into the near corner from 26 yards out. Although Foster made a save and touched the ball with both hands, the Russian player's
The shot was powerful and the ball hit the upper left corner.
At this time, Giggs was already standing on the edge of the field, preparing to come on as a substitute. The Welsh veteran witnessed the Cockney's goal with his own eyes. He couldn't blame anyone else but himself. The goal was controversial and beautiful, but looking at Cockney
Where are you celebrating? No matter how you look at it, you are unhappy. Before he even took the field, the Welsh veteran’s fighting spirit was activated by Arsenal’s goal! [
A veteran can defeat two opponents. This is an old saying in China. Manchester United players may not have heard of it, but they have witnessed the special meaning of this sentence with their own eyes.
After Giggs came on the scene, he immediately stabilized the situation in the midfield. Carrick and Fletcher both went to the right to help defend, while the center and left were left to the Welsh veteran. One person sat on both sides, but he seemed to be able to do it with ease.
The balance of power was finally restored on the field. Whether it was the score or the scene, the two teams were in a state of anxiety again.
Wenger seems to be telling Fabregas that now is the time to make a change. The opponent has strengthened his defense. If he continues to fight, he will be a bit stupid. I have to say why Fabregas can win Wenger's love. Then
It's Spain's wonderful ability to understand the deadlocks in the game and use his passing arrangements to help the team find its direction again.
But today is very strange. Fabregas has never changed. He has been entangled with Manchester United players and sometimes defended some Li Yu in a targeted manner. Now Wenger understood a little bit. This is
Young people are competing for the stars on the court, and the players all have their own pride. The more top players are, the more they are driven by their own persistence.
At this time, isn't the competition a bit detrimental to Arsenal?
That's right, it was finally Wenger's turn to become nervous again. This is where the media of football matches come from. Wenger, who was deeply involved in the game, hated the sudden changes on the field.
Arsenal's brain on the field is a little short-circuited, but the brain of the new Manchester United player Giggs is extremely clear. When it comes to the ability to read the game, only Scholes in the Manchester United team can match it. Now Giggs is on the field.
He deserves to be the first person.
Under Giggs' guidance, Manchester United gradually found its own offensive direction. This time it was the Welshman who was holding the ball. Denilson immediately stepped forward to press for it, and he already had a perfect plan before going up.
Standing close to the ball, the old Giggs simply does not have the explosive power he used to have to support him in making breakthroughs.
Denilson thought very well, and soon proved that those of his were just personal assumptions, and if they happened, it was purely coincidental.
Giggs didn't want to break through at all. He found Denilson coming over aggressively. With a light dunk, he got a passing space and delivered a through ball with precision to the Arsenal penalty area. Rooney quickly ran away.
In Destroy, Vermaelen was completely missed.
Gala had no choice but to defend and clear the siege, and Almunia also struck out in time to resolve the crisis in the penalty area, 2 vs. 1!
The final victory is not destined to belong to whoever has more people!
Rooney grabbed a kick and touched the ball first. Just in time, Giggs' pass would have been ineffective for one more point. Gallas made a clearance and kicked the ball empty. Almunia attacked and took it to Rooney. Although Almunia
He said that he had stopped his actions, but the referee still pointed his finger at the penalty spot and showed Almunia a yellow card.
Rooney did it himself, and Li Yu didn't fight with the little fat guy. Kicking a penalty kick was too laborious. It's okay if he gets in. But if he doesn't get in, the problem is not as big as usual. What kind of sinner, what culprit of the failure will come.
, it’s still cool to score goals in sports matches.
The reason why Li Yu rarely takes penalty kicks is a bit confusing, because he is afraid of trouble?
Of course, Li Yu will not back down when it is his turn. Being afraid of trouble does not mean that Li Yu is incapable of solving trouble!
On the contrary, he can take a few free kicks.
Rooney successfully deceived Almunia and hit the ball to the right of the goal. The score changed again, and Manchester United led 2:1.
In the blink of an eye, Manchester United had established its advantage again, and the Manchester United bench had already started high-fiving to celebrate the goal.
Of course, Manchester United fans would not miss this opportunity. Arsenal was in the lead, and huge celebrations also started at Old Trafford.
Arsenal players would be lying if they said they were not frustrated. Penalty kick, this time there was a penalty kick!
It was really a bit demoralizing. In the first half, Li Yulai hit a powerful kick, and in the second half, he hit a penalty kick, a double blow.
Fabregas, as the captain on the field, did not lose heart, "With one goal, we can overtake again!"
The Spaniard spoke with an unusually certain tone, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, but it was this tone that infected the Arsenal players. The slightly silent captain occasionally uttered a word that stabilized people's hearts.
When Wenger found that the players had stabilized, he stopped shouting into the stadium. His captain had done what he should do, and now it was time to see who would win.
The professor's ambition had just recovered a little, and soon someone stood up again, completely destroying the beautiful illusion that Wenger had spun for himself, and sat back on the coaching bench honestly, and did not stand again until the end of the game.
Get up!
This person is Li Yu again. After the go-ahead score, Arsenal players started to make more moves on the field. Are you kidding me? Who are the Manchester United players afraid of at Old Trafford? We can't play with you even if you try hard.
Soft!
In the subsequent games, yellow cards were issued frequently.
Fabregas passed Rooney and was knocked down by Brown when he broke through, and the latter got one.
Soon, Van Persie was given a yellow card for violently infringing on Giggs in the backcourt. Robin Man, who could have scored a goal, received a yellow card instead.
In the past championship competitions, this was considered civilized people playing football, but Li Yu soon made such scenes disappear.
Giggs finally got rid of Song's entanglement in the middle and sent an overhead pass. Li Yu rushed out like lightning. I know you are fast. Gala has become a lot more honest. The French central defender has now become Arsenal's leader.
Drag sweeper, parallel position?
Let's go to hell and let's run together, who can catch up with Manchester United's No. 9!
Gala's task is to delay the opponent as much as possible and wait for the support of his teammates. It has to be said that Gala has begun to be conservative, but there is no other way. If he is not conservative, he will probably commit suicide again!
Li Yu didn't mean to get into too much trouble with his opponent. When the ball fell, Li Yu released the ball a little far.
"Kicking error?" Gala was not sure of his own judgment. He didn't move at all, and still used delaying tactics.
However, it turned out that his judgment was wrong. Li Yuna deliberately stopped the ball. After catching the ball in three steps, Manchester United No. 9 chose to "shoot"!
"Crazy, this world is crazy. We are almost thirty meters away from the goal, and we are one-on-one with the defender. There is a forward who doesn't try to break through, but just shoots the goal so easily!" Many commentators did not understand.
"Damn it, my God! Isn't this an earthling who kicked a fallen ball in a sports battle?"
