The game has just started.
Manchester United began to attack aggressively, and they did not pay much attention to the young people opposite Arsenal.
Even felt a little annoyed.
Arsenal actually sent these young people to start. Isn't this looking down on their majestic Manchester United team?
At the beginning of the game, Manchester United's offense really seemed full of momentum.
Especially Manchester United's frontcourt attacking quartet, Eto'o, Willian, Van Persie, and Rooney, all have very strong personal abilities and can be considered top players.
Although Eto'o is getting older, he still has the physical fitness to maintain his peak half-time performance.
in this case.
Of course, what Manchester United fans want to see is a bombastic offensive.
Defeated Arsenal in one fell swoop.
A little bit of relief from the bad feeling of being double-killed last season and losing the championship.
But they soon found out.
Arsenal's lineup is really a bit watertight when it comes to defense.
In particular, the performance of their center back Van Dijk and midfielder Kanter was quite eye-catching.
In the third minute of the game, Manchester United passed the ball around for a long time without finding an opening. Finally, full-back Rafael came up and passed the ball to the penalty area.
Eto'o, who played on the left wing in this game, is more of an inside forward than a wide midfielder.
This is also a very popular kicking method now.
After all, the pure winger style of play is somewhat less popular now, and many teams are trying to make a fuss about the winger/wide midfielder position.
Many new variations of play in this position have emerged.
The more typical ones are the inside forwards whose main goal is to score.
A typical example is Cristiano Ronaldo, who played on the left wing after moving to Real Madrid.
While at Manchester United.
Cristiano Ronaldo's initial role was even as a wide midfielder, the role of left midfielder in the 442 system - this was also Beckham's initial position at Manchester United.
But as his offensive ability, especially his scoring ability, improved, he gradually became a winger. After arriving at Real Madrid and fully unlocking his scoring skills, he was actually no longer a pure winger, but an inside forward. .
Such changes also affected the way many young players played later.
For example.
Mbappe.
Eto'o obviously doesn't play as a winger on the left side of Manchester United. The side is completely handed over to Manchester United's captain Evra, who frequently moves in the rib area of the penalty area.
The football was passed, and Van Persie rushed forward and took away center back Per Mertesacker. This left Eto'o to grab the space in the middle!
and.
Mertesacker seems to be the only player in Arsenal's defense who seems to have game experience after he was taken away by Robin van Persie.
Only Van Dijk and Eto'o are left to duel!
The football circled around and went straight to the center.
Eto'o started, intending to get rid of Van Dijk and then complete the shot.
But just when he started to rush to the middle, Van Dijk suddenly stepped up and got stuck.
Eto'o was in a hurry and before he could slow down, he bumped into Van Dijk's back. When he was bounced away, Van Dijk stretched out his long legs to hook the ball, and then kicked the ball to La At the feet of Cancelo who was connecting from the wing.
"Oh oh oh! Beautiful! Beautiful defense!!"
"The Dutch youngster Van Dijk looked very calm. He seemed to be very comfortable when facing the impact of the cheetah Eto'o!"
Commentators praised Van Dijk's handling.
They haven't noticed yet.
At this moment, Cancelo has already passed half the ball with the ball.
When the camera returned to the stadium, Arsenal's offense also began to unfold.
Harry Kane dropped deep to receive the ball. Almost all of them are standing in the midfield position.
Cancelo's diagonal pass just landed at his feet.
at this time.
Evans, who was brought out by him, tried to steal the ball directly in front of him.
If it was Arsenal's main center Giroud who was holding the ball behind his back, Evans would definitely not dare to do so.
But now he is facing the unknown Harry Kane, and he is too confident.
Therefore, when he was turned around and dribbled over by Harry Kane, his expression was so shocked.
Harry Kane was constantly observing before taking the ball.
He kept twisting his head, collecting all the information in his mind.
For Harry Kane.
What he lacks now is confidence and opportunities! !
After all, he is almost twenty-one years old now!
After being loaned out by Tottenham, he didn't get many opportunities at Leicester City.
after all.
He is a loaned player, and with Vardy and Argentinian center Leonardo Ulloa in Leicester City's squad, there are very few opportunities for a loaned player like him - he just An addition to Leicester City's lineup, he will only have a chance to play unless the front center is injured.
therefore.
Harry Kane is currently at a low point in his career.
It was under this circumstance that Wenger came to him, hoping that he would join Arsenal, and told him that Arsenal would fight on four fronts in the new season, and he would definitely get a chance.
Even in order to get him, Arsenal went to negotiate with Tottenham. Although Tottenham does not attach much importance to Harry Kane now, they do not want to sell their players to Arsenal.
in this case.
Harry Kane paid a "premium" several times before coming to Arsenal.
This filled Kane with gratitude.
This is his first game on behalf of Arsenal, so he naturally has to go all out to show his energy to the coach.
At this time, the only one who can wipe Evans's butt is Ferdinand.
As soon as Ferdinand took a step forward, he saw Harry Kane pass the ball across to Bernardo Silva.
Seat B stopped the ball and passed by Cleverley who was returning to defense.
This completely caused chaos in Manchester United's defense.
When Manchester United's defense contracted in the middle, Seat B kicked the ball to the left, and the football fell to Mane's feet! !
Mane stopped the ball and made a fake move, and then quickly cut inside to pose for a shot.
When Rafael made a move to block, he stopped quickly, and then sent the ball through the ball to the ribs of the penalty area.
Harry Kane showed off his flexibility when he crossed in diagonally, with his back to the goal and Ferdinand behind him.
He didn't stop the ball and swept the ball towards the penalty area with his right foot.
At this time, winger Mahrez from the other side had also moved forward, and Harry Kane's pass greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.
No one expected him to find Mahrez on the other side with his back completely turned.
therefore.
What Mahrez has to do is simple, face the ball and push! !
De Gea pounced but it was too late.
The football flew past his fingers and into the goal! !
"Mahrez!!"
"Oh oh oh! Beautiful!! This group of young people from Arsenal teamed up to contribute a very wonderful goal. Starting from Van Dijk's steal, after several passes, they created an excellent scoring opportunity! Maher Reis seized this opportunity, one to zero!! Arsenal are ahead!"
"Who would have thought that Manchester United, which played with all its main players, would actually fall behind!!"
The camera focuses on the Arsenal players celebrating.
For many Arsenal fans, these young people still seem very unfamiliar.
But this series of wonderful cooperation just now made them realize that
These young people may not be who they are as portrayed in the media.
They are high-spirited and full of vitality!
