Although Arsenal stabilized the situation.
But at this time, most of the commentators were not very optimistic about them.
Some commentators were praising Manchester United's performance.
Some commentators criticized Wenger for being conservative.
They believe that Arsenal's choice of a conservative counterattack strategy at home is the fundamental reason for Arsenal's current situation. ,
If they had taken advantage of their home situation to attack fiercely, they might have a two-goal lead now.
However, the commentators always stood and talked without back pain.
If Arsenal really presses the attack and is beaten back by Manchester United, they will probably criticize Wenger again for his rashness.
so.
Being a head football coach is a really stressful job.
Because on the football field, any tactical choice has pros and cons.
There cannot be a tactical system in this world that is completely free of weaknesses and loopholes.
At this time, the TV broadcast gave Wenger a close-up.
At this time, Wenger was already sitting on the coaching bench, expressionless.
No one knows what his attitude is towards the current situation.
But everyone now knows that the pressure Wenger shouldered during Arsenal's eight-year drought was gradual.
Arsenal fans don't think about the team's investment.
Most Arsenal fans also feel that they are a strong contender for Manchester United in the Premier League.
So even Wenger was dismissed because of his grades.
This is competitive sports.
Very cruel.
Warmth and tenderness are sometimes only based on achievements.
In fact, Wenger has no better way now, and there are not many cards he can play.
but
Wenger has an ace up his sleeve.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry.
Because he saw the team gradually stabilized, and that was enough.
Even if we can't equalize the score in the first half, it doesn't matter because there is still the second half.
The situation at this time was exactly as Wenger expected.
After taking the lead, Manchester United did press forward and grab a wave.
But after finding that it had no effect, they honestly returned to their own half.
The 442 formation has one advantage.
It can greatly compress the space when defending.
Four defenders, four forwards.
The division of labor is clear, and both the center and wing can be taken care of.
Therefore, many English teams still insist on the 442 formation.
This very old formation once appeared together with the WM formation - the legendary 2332 formation.
That was football in ancient times.
There was no offside rule in those days.
Therefore, a formation of 5 defenders and 5 attackers was produced.
There was no midfield in football at that time and no tactics were needed.
Just drive the ball through the midfield with a big kick - it's not offside anyway, the forwards will press on the opponent's goal line and head the ball into the goal.
And with the advent of the offside rule.
Modern football tactics and formations began to be born around the offside rule - 442 was one of the earliest formations based on the offside rule.
And even now, the 442 formation still appears very often in mainstream leagues.
Of course.
There are not many wealthy teams still playing 442.
But many mid-to-lower teams are still playing this formation.
why?
It's because this formation is so effective on the defensive end.
After their formation was recovered.
It is not easy for Arsenal to penetrate easily.
After Yello got the ball in the middle, he found that the opponent was very dense in the middle - the players of Manchester United were afraid of Yello's long shot.
Long shots don’t work.
Then try to make a breakthrough!
Ye Luo suddenly started, changed direction, and reached the edge of the penalty area. As a result, there were still many Manchester United defensive players in front of him, and it was really difficult to break in.
Ye Luo looked at the time.
It's now the 38th minute of the second half.
Since the opponent is prepared for breakthroughs and long-range shots.
Then send the ball to the wing.
If Manchester United is concentrated in the middle, there will inevitably be space on the wings.
"Yello split the wings, Cazorla responded from the wing, and Monreal also came up. Arsenal began to move the ball around Manchester United's penalty area during this period. This is a good sign."
"Cazorla caught the ball and dunked toward the baseline. He made an emergency stop and made a pass!!! Yelo!!!!!!"
The commentator's voice suddenly became louder.
The originally quiet Emirates Stadium suddenly burst into cheers!
Cazorla had originally made a move to attack, and Manchester United's defenders certainly did not dare to neglect him. Rafael and Nani both came to defend.
Right now.
Yelo is also inserting into the penalty area. He is running into the space behind Vidic and Ferdinand.
Cleverley was originally responsible for marking Yello.
As a result, Ye Luo suddenly started thrusting forward and immediately shook him off.
Seeing Ye Luo's movement, Cazorla stopped suddenly, got out of the way and crossed with his right foot without hesitation.
The ball passed between two Manchester United players, Rafael and Nani.
Flying towards the front of Ye Luo's movement.
"Beautiful through ball! Not offside!!!"
the narrator exclaims.
At the same time, Vidic and Ferdinand recovered inside at the same time, Caiello's shot path!
They unanimously did not compete with Ye Luo for the ball - because they were not confident in their speed and were worried about being passed by Ye Luo.
This is the right choice.
Ye Luo originally planned to shoot directly.
But his right-footed shot was basically blocked by Vidic and Ferdinand.
Forcing the kick is nothing more than shooting the ball at them.
Doesn't make much sense.
Cleverley was chasing back, Vidic and Ferdinand blocked the line, and other Manchester United players were also shrinking.
As long as Yelo shoots or stops the ball, this defense will be more than half successful - unless Yelo is extremely lucky, it will be difficult for him to shoot the ball through Manchester United's defense in this case.
Manchester United's players all thought their defense was about to succeed this time.
But they still underestimated Ye Luo,
Yeluo didn't shoot directly or stop the ball. Instead, he took one step forward and let the ball come over and turned around. Instead of shooting with his right foot, he pumped the ball to the opposite corner with his left foot! !
Such processing.
It was indeed beyond the expectations of the Manchester United players.
Because the ball passed by Cazorla was very fast, Yelo wanted to get the ball, turned around, and then volleyed.
The connection speed needs to be very fast.
Otherwise, football is over.
Therefore, when Yelo took a step forward, Cleverley thought that Yelo was going to stop the ball. He immediately moved forward, preparing to entangle Yelo and wait for his teammates to support him. As a result...
His post was just taken advantage of by Ye Luo.
Yelo pressed Cleverley, turned around with him as the axis, and then struck the rolling football with his left foot like a whip.
boom!
The football is touching the ground.
With extremely fast ball speed, from a very narrow line, it hit the bottom right corner of the goal!
