"Yes! Arsenal scored again! They once again scored the first goal in a strong dialogue!! This is really surprising, just before this season. Arsenal have been in five consecutive seasons for several seasons. We are at the bottom of the list of small points for strong duels.”
Andy Gray shook his head and said.
In fact, not many people mention the so-called Premier League big6 in this era.
Mainly because Tottenham's performance was too low. It wasn't until Pochettino took charge of Tottenham that Tottenham had the ability to stably compete for the top six.
Before the rise of Manchester City, the Premier League was usually dominated by the traditional top four: Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea.
After the rise of Manchester City, some media in England called them the Big Five of the Premier League. However, this title was replaced by the so-called Big 6 not long after.
In the standings between these five teams, Arsenal has been ranked at the bottom all year round.
This also made many fans ridicule Arsenal for being too weak and basically losing points against strong teams.
Now, Arsenal has won all three games against Liverpool, Manchester City, and Chelsea, all of which were away games! !
"This is what Yello brings! Arsenal has found a leader! A leader like Henry, Vieira and others." Lineker said.
"Yes! Yello is the leader of the team in Malaga. He is a court leader who can unite the team. What is even more rare is that his personal ability is also at the top level in history." Andy Gray added on the side Said, "The current situation is very unfavorable for Manchester United at home. They attacked very fiercely before this. The result was a counterattack and Arsenal scored. This was Arsenal's first shot in this game. , this ability to seize opportunities is incredible, the fans at Old Trafford were all blinded by this goal, they seemed to have had a bucket of cold water poured on their heads."
It's not just cold water, it's almost ice water.
The Manchester United players were a little confused.
The opponent's attack was like an armor-piercing bullet, poking a hole in their own defense in the blink of an eye.
After the game restarted, Manchester United's players were a bit defensive and did not dare to attack.
They are all afraid of Arsenal's counterattack speed.
Since Manchester United does not dare to attack, then Arsenal will not be polite.
soon.
Arsenal launched an attack again.
Yello dribbled the ball through the center line and passed the half-court. Facing Manchester United's very cautious defense, Yello simply continued to press forward, forcing Manchester United's defensive players to respond - otherwise when Yello came to the What if you can shoot comfortably within the shooting range?
Everyone knows how threatening Ye Luo's long-range shots are.
Cleverley and Rooney, who had retreated to defend, pressed forward together.
Otherwise, Lu Xiaopang is a good player.
He has a strong sense of responsibility on the field and is active in running.
Although he is a forward, he does not complain about the dirty work of pressing and defending.
He used to be a wingman when he was paired with Cristiano Ronaldo. Later he became Manchester United's number one, but he was still a chubby little Red Devil who moved wherever there was a shortage of people.
Under Ferguson, Lu Xiaopang has played center forward, left winger, right winger, left and right midfielder, attacking midfielder, central midfielder, and even defensive midfielder.
Now he and Van Persie partner as double centers, and Van Persie stays in the frontcourt. He is still responsible for dropping back to participate in team organization and defensive pressure.
Faced with the defense of the two men, Yelo chose to pass the ball to the right, and Sagna responded on that side.
At the same time, Ramsey and Arteta were also positioned near the center line, and the two full-backs were also pressed into the midfield.
Arsenal put on a aggressive offensive stance.
Sagna did not stop after receiving the ball, and passed the ball diagonally forward to the feet of center Giroud who had withdrawn to receive the ball.
Giroud used his strong body to protect the football. Although his back was to the goal, Manchester United's defenders did not dare to take a shot easily. If Arsenal was given a free kick, everyone knew that Yelo's direct free kick in this area What a threat the ball poses.
Of course, Giroud did not keep the ball at his feet for too long. He noticed Yello's movement when he received the ball. After holding Evans, he passed the ball diagonally to Yello's running route. Ahead!
The moment Giroud passed the ball, Yelo suddenly accelerated from running at a constant speed, shook off the defensive player behind him, then faced the football passed back by Giroud, and shot directly with his right foot!
The ball has almost no spin and goes straight towards the goal.
This time De Gea made a wonderful save, showing his goal-line saving ability.
He jumped up and lifted the ball over the crossbar with his left hand.
"Ye Luo. Wonderful shot!"
Andy Gray exclaimed.
This shot was very sudden, hitting the ball directly without stopping. The quality was very high and the ball speed was very fast.
Any other goalkeeper might not be able to react so quickly.
And Yello's shot also woke up the Manchester United players.
As the overlord of the Premier League, a championship team that wins championships almost every season, Manchester United's players naturally have a certain mentality of championship players.
As a player who can start in a team like Manchester United, his psychological adjustment ability is naturally online.
With the encouragement and reminders of several team leaders, Manchester United's players also began to adjust their mentality and concentrate.
Cazorla took the corner kick and the football was pushed out by Ferdinand.
The outside continues to be controlled by Arsenal.
But then Manchester United showed their ability to counterattack when defending in the low post.
In the 23rd minute of the game, after Evans intercepted the ball, Manchester United immediately launched a counterattack.
The football was quickly passed to Carrick's feet. Carrick passed the ball across to Valencia. Valencia immediately dribbled the ball forward along the sideline, and then reached the bottom line and swept the penalty area vigorously!
The football flew close to the ground towards the small penalty area. In the process, Arteta fell to the ground to block it. His partner Ramsey could only hastily poke the ball forward when facing Cleverley who rushed up.
The football just happened to fall at the feet of Ye Luo, who was preparing to respond on the line of the penalty area.
Yello received the ball with his back to the attacking direction. At this time, Van Persie, who was in this position and ready to take the cake, rushed forward immediately. He was already planning to commit a foul and push Yello into the penalty area - anyway. It was not in our own penalty area. This ball was worth a yellow card.
Van Persie is a center forward and not a defensive player. The possibility of receiving two yellow cards in one game is very low.
Yelo, who was completely focused on football at this time, seemed to have no idea what was going on behind him, but soon he showed his technical ability with superb footwork.
Ye Luo seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. He didn't look back at all. He just lifted the football slightly from the outside of his feet. The football jumped into the air and flew past Van Persie's left waist. The football was still spinning in the air, forming a An arc-shaped parabola.
Ye Luo, on the other hand, completed the turn with his left foot as the center of the circle.
Turn around and pass the ball! !
"nice shot!!!"
Duan Xuan couldn't help but cheer when he saw Ye Luo get rid of it.
Many Old Trafford fans exclaimed.
This light and extraordinary escape left many fans still replaying the scene they just saw in their minds.
Van Persie was distracted by one thing and could only watch Ye Luo move away from him.
Yeluo accelerated and dribbled the ball forward.
"Arsenal's counterattack is here again!"
Amidst the excited cheers of the commentators.
Yello moved forward along the center, past Carrick, forcing all Manchester United's defensive players to shrink towards the center, and went straight to the ribs, creating a direct chance for Cazorla to shoot.
Cazorla's low shot with his left foot sent the football flying towards the goal.
At the critical moment, De Gea made a Guanyin sitting lotus shot, and the ball was out of the penalty area. The football fell to Ferdinand's feet. Ferdinand immediately launched a long pass to counterattack! !
Arsenal failed to counterattack, and Manchester United counterattacked on the spot!
It is very easy to score a goal in such a scene.
The ball crossed the midfield and found Ashley Young on the wing. Professor Young cut inside to prepare for his signature "rainbow shot".
Arsenal certainly wouldn't dare to neglect.
Ashley Young was later the first of the four dark kings of Manchester United.
Known as Asli Yang.
But now Ashley Young is still quite powerful, he is fast, his crosses are very accurate, and he also has his own trick of cutting inside the "Rainbow Shot".
Therefore, after seeing Professor Yang's shooting action, Arsenal's defensive players did not dare to neglect. Coquelin and Sagna rushed forward, preparing to block the shooting route.
Seeing that Ashley Young failed to shoot, he had to pass the ball. He passed the ball across the top of the penalty area and the football fell to Van Persie's feet.
Van Persie opened his stance with his right foot, and when Ramsey rushed forward, he faked a shot and dunked the ball to his left foot!
The golden left-footed Van Persie is coming for real this time!
Volley from the instep of the left foot!
The football just took off!
A sliding foot blocked the ball out of the baseline! !
"Van Persie shoots Yello!! Oh oh oh!! Beautiful block!!"
"Ye Luo participated in a counterattack and immediately returned to defense at high speed, blocking Van Persie's left-footed volley at the critical moment!"
"Corner kick, Manchester United won a corner kick, but I think the Manchester United players definitely didn't want this corner kick, because Robin van Persie was really sure of the goal with his left foot volley from the penalty area line. If Yelo didn't block the ball, Szczesny may be in trouble."
Manchester United took a corner kick.
Van Persie stared at the incoming ball, judged the landing point, made a fake running move, and then rushed towards the landing point, preparing to take off and head the ball towards the top.
But the one standing in front of him was Ye Luo!
Yelo directly blocked his position and did not head the ball. Instead, he gave the ball to goalkeeper Szczesny.
Van Persie slammed into Yello's back, only to find that he seemed to have hit a wall.
This round of offense and defense is over.
The camera lens first gave Ye Luo a close-up, and saw him running forward calmly, raising his hand for the ball, with a calm expression on his face.
Then the camera gave Van Persie another close-up.
All I saw was a look of helplessness.
On the defensive end, he was easily passed by Ye Luogang.
On the offensive end, Ye Luo twice resolved his confident attack.
It can be said that in this round, Van Persie was completely defeated by Yello.
Arsenal fans are very excited.
They shouted in the stands: "Our new No. 10 is much better than you, Robin Van Persie!"
Hearing this call, Van Persie looked towards the stands and then focused his attention back on the pitch.
"We need to attack, Robin!"
Rooney came over and patted him on the shoulder.
He didn't say much, because now that the team is settled, it really needs to attack.
In this game, Manchester United deployed a typical British parallel four midfield position of 442, with Rooney and Robin van Persie partnering as double centers.
Arsenal's players are confident now.
They know how powerful Van Persie is, but both times Van Persie failed to show any power.
In addition, the team now has the lead, so the players gradually relaxed from the tension in the opening stage.
But as the saying goes, when the moon is full, it is waning, and when the water is full, it overflows.
If you are too nervous, it is easy to perform abnormally.
Being too relaxed will lead to underestimating the enemy.
Especially when he made a mistake in his judgment - to the surprise of the Arsenal players, under the premise that the attack was blocked repeatedly, Manchester United's attack not only did not suffer setbacks, but also gained momentum with every setback!
Manchester United's players have a clear goal: to equalize the score before the end of the first half!
Rooney and Robin van Persie have not been together as double centers for a long time, but the understanding of football between top players is on the same level.
Led by two top centers as arrows, Manchester United's offense began to gain momentum in the second half of the first half.
There is no doubt that Ferguson's Manchester United is a resilient team.
They showed their resilience even when they were falling behind.
The 41st minute of the game.
Manchester United launched an attack from the right wing.
Valencia and Rafael both stood on this side, plus Van Persie cruising over, the three formed a partial triangle position.
By playing the ball in succession, Rafael got an open pass near the baseline. He did not sweep the ball into the penalty area as vigorously as Valencia did.
Instead, after spotting the position, he passed the ball to Van Persie's feet with his right foot in an inverted triangle. Van Persie stopped the ball with his right foot, shot with his left foot, and completed the connection in one go.
Szczesny almost instinctively raised his hand and blocked the ball back into the penalty area.
There was chaos in the penalty area. In the end, Ye Luo came back to make a rescue and kicked the ball out of the sideline.
The 44th minute of the game.
Manchester United's attack came back with a bang.
Rooney pulled the ball to the left wing and cut inside. He went straight into the penalty area and passed the ball to Van Persie's feet. After stopping the ball, Van Persie took a step towards Koscielny and then suddenly dunked to complete the breakthrough.
Koscielny's center of gravity was shaken. When he turned around in a hurry, his foot slipped and his body suddenly pressed on Van Persie's right foot. At this time, both of them lost their balance and both fell in the penalty area.
"Two people fell to the ground in Koscielny's penalty area! This may be a fatal defense." Andy Gray in the commentary box immediately exclaimed after seeing Koscielny's actions.
really.
The referee Oliver did not hesitate.
Amidst the boos at Old Trafford.
Oliver made a decision that had all the Manchester United fans cheering him on and applauding him - he blew his whistle and pointed his finger towards the penalty area.
Penalty kick! !
"Penalty kick!! The referee Oliver awarded a penalty kick!!"
"At the end of the first half, Manchester United were awarded a penalty!!"
In the commentary box, many commentators were exclaiming.
Andy Gray shook his head slightly and said: "After taking the lead, Arsenal did not expect that Manchester United's counterattack would be so fierce. Maybe they also did not expect Robin van Persie's fighting spirit in this game. We can see that most of Manchester United's attacks The threats all come from Van Persie's feet! For Van Persie, he must be very eager to perform in this game!"
At this time, in Arsenal's penalty area.
Arsenal players defended Koscielny to the referee.
The Manchester United players pulled Van Persie up and high-fived each other to celebrate the penalty kick.
Within the restricted area.
Joy, anger, sorrow and joy are clearly distinguished.
Van Persie looked at Yello, who was negotiating with the referee while wearing the captain's armband.
last season.
This role is his.
But this season it was replaced by Yello.
only
Van Persie looked towards the visiting team stands.
see it?
This is why I moved to Manchester United!
Even if you have Ye Luo.
But I still firmly believe
Manchester United is the real overlord of the Premier League. Here, I will definitely win the championship!
must!
Penalty kicks are certainly not controversial.
The pleas from Arsenal's players were in vain.
The referee will not overturn his decision.
For Arsenal's players, they just hope that the referee will not play cards to Koscielny.
But Oliver ignored it and resolutely showed a yellow card to Koscielny.
As the starting central defender, carrying a yellow card before the second half of the game has even started will definitely have a great impact on his performance.
In the end, the Arsenal players had no choice but to disperse.
Van Persie was already holding the ball and standing at the penalty spot.
In fact, Manchester United's current number one penalty kicker is Rooney.
But now Manchester United lets Van Persie take the penalty kick, which is a bit heart-wrenching.
Not only do I want to steal your core, but I also want him to perform well against Arsenal and score a goal.
It's better to celebrate by sliding on your knees again.
Of course.
Van Persie did not slip immediately.
He is still quite reserved now.
After easily converting the penalty kick, he raised his arms to indicate that he would not celebrate.
But other Manchester United players don't care about this, and they don't want to maintain their image in front of Arsenal fans.
They cheered and celebrated wildly.
Old Trafford is also in trouble.
The whole stadium was boiling.
The coaching bench on the sidelines.
Still red-faced, but this time not angry, but excited, Ferguson chewed gum and rushed to the sidelines, jumping up and down in celebration.
I really don’t know what brand of chewing gum is in this old man’s mouth, but he can chew it for so long.
Under the cheers, Wenger shook his head helplessly.
He looked at the excited Ferguson not far away, and then at Van Persie who had just scored a goal on the court.
If it weren't for Ye Luo, this old guy's plan might have been successful, right?
Abduct Van Persie, win the last Premier League title, and then retire gloriously.
Unfortunately.
Your plan is going to fail.
Wenger felt a little proud.
Even if the score was equalized, he didn't feel nervous at all.
Because the game time is still so long.
In fact, even if Arsenal cannot escape from Old Trafford in this game, Wenger will not regret it.
Arsenal with Yelo is already very stable in terms of scoring stability. In addition, the whole team now plays around Yelo, with Yelo as the captain and leader on the field, and The strongest scorer.
Even if Arsenal loses these three points, so what?
Ensuring points efficiency against mid- and lower-tier teams is the key to winning the championship.
not to mention.
In the first half of this season, Arsenal will play these strong teams away from home.
This also means that in the second half of the season, Arsenal will all play at home against teams such as Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool.
Among the top five teams in the first half of the season, Arsenal defeated three of them and scored nine points.
It is already ranked first in the top five small standings.
Losing a game is nothing.
Wenger was unfazed.
The first half ended shortly after Manchester United equalized.
Players from both sides walked off the court.
As the two teams who scored goals in the first half, they were naturally the focus of the TV screen.
Close-ups of the two people also appeared on the TV screen.
Arsenal fans have mixed feelings.
Arsenal's two captains became the best players of their respective teams in this game.
In the visiting team's locker room.
The goal lost at the end of the first half made the atmosphere in the locker room a bit dull. Everyone was relatively silent and morale was relatively low.
Wenger pushed through the door and did not criticize the players after seeing this scene.
"It's nothing, it's just a draw, not behind. We need to take back control of the game in the second half, and we have to work hard on the offensive end. The two full-backs should not press too hard in the second half, and pay attention to helping the center Guard defense.”
In the second half, we need to work hard on the offensive end, but let the full-backs not press forward.
This sounds contradictory.
But everyone in the know knows that this is Wenger in Versailles.
Why can Arsenal strengthen its attack when the full-backs rarely participate in assists?
Because of Ye Luo!
In the home team's locker room.
Ferguson was also praising his players' performance.
Especially the key praise was given to Robin van Persie.
He then emphasized that the team should pick up the pace in the second half, take advantage of the two centers, and pass the ball into the opponent's penalty area.
As long as Rooney and Robin van Persie can have more possession of the ball in the opponent's penalty area, they can help Manchester United solve the problem.
Just like the penalty kick in the first half.
After fifteen minutes of rest and adjustment.
Players from both sides quickly reappeared on the court.
Arsenal kicked off the second half first.
Yeluo passed the ball to the backcourt and immediately rushed forward.
Arteta caught the ball, spotted Yelo's running direction, and directly launched a long pass!
The football chased Ye Luo's path like a cruise missile. During the run, the football passed over Ye Luo's head.
Many Arsenal fans were sighing with regret at this time - they thought the ball was passed too far.
"Arteta's long pass was very accurate. Oh...what a pity!" Duan Xuan also regretted it, but the next second, he was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Ye Luo! So fast!! "
Amid Duan Xuan's exclamation, Ye Luo suddenly accelerated!
No one expected that Ye Luo could accelerate in this situation - including Raphael who was chasing after him.
So when he saw the football passing over Ye Luo's head and about to leave the sideline, he relaxed and slowed down.
Then he stared at Ye Luo's furious performance with his mouth open.
The football was hooked back by Ye Luo's extended leg.
Such fast ball speed, such fast running.
Under such circumstances, he was able to stick the ball almost to the instep and put the ball back on the grass.
Ferguson stared with disbelief when he saw this scene.
He seemed to have remembered something.
Such stopping skills.
Such a ball feel.
And Ronaldinho, who almost joined Manchester United back then.
Not to mention they are very similar, they are exactly the same! !
But the difference is.
Ye Luo not only has such a sense of ball and skills.
And strong physical fitness.
Speed, confrontation, and physical fitness are all much better than Ronaldinho.
Of course.
More importantly.
Yello almost never appeared in nightclubs, nor did he hang around like Ronaldinho.
This kid.
Simply born for football.
Ferguson's heart was in his throat.
He looked nervously at Ye Luo, who was speeding towards the penalty area again.
"Ye Luo!! Beautiful! Beautiful stop!!"
"Raphael was thrown away!! Yelo drove the ball towards the penalty area!!"
"One against two!! Now only Ferdinand and Evans can stop Yello in Manchester United's defensive zone!!"
In the commentary box, the commentators exclaimed.
After Yeluo stopped the ball from the air, he immediately accelerated the ball towards the penalty area.
Ferdinand rushed up from left to right.
Ye Luo looked at the goal, made a fake shot that shook the two people's center of gravity, then spiked the ball with his right foot to his left foot, and pushed the ball forward with his left foot!
"Fried meatballs!!" Andy Gray shouted! !
Yello carried the ball between Ferdinand and Evans.
crucial moment.
The two made tackles at the same time!
At this moment.
I don't know how many cameras captured this scene.
The two central defenders made tackles at the same time, but Ye Luo moved forward without hesitation. He dribbled the ball forward and started speeding!
Ferdinand and Evans failed to tackle Yello's foot firmly, but their spikes still scratched the outside of Yello's foot.
In a state of high-speed movement, even a slight obstruction can cause a person to lose balance.
Not to mention the scratches from the shoe nails.
But when Yello broke out of the blockade of Ferdinand and Evans, he himself was staggering.
"Ye Luo! It's over!!" Duan Xuan almost broke his voice.
All the Dragon Country fans in front of the TV clenched their fists.
The same goes for Arsenal fans in the away stands and everywhere.
Everyone leaned forward and looked at the court expectantly.
The staggering Ye Luo's center of gravity was unstable. He tried to control his body while observing the goal.
De Gea strikes out this time!
He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Ye Luo's state, and was just about to use his strength to throw the rolling football under him.
Ye Luo, who was staggering, suddenly thrust forward with his right foot.
Before falling to the ground, he poked the ball towards the goal
Among the exclamations of the fans at Old Trafford.
The football rolled past De Gea's crotch.
Rolled towards the goal.
In the media box.
Many people looked at the time on the big screen.
Second half of the game.
Start.9 seconds!
(End of chapter)
