Chapter 184: Take the Gunner lightly

"I'm going, I'm so nervous!" After the afternoon training, Dai Zhiwei hurried home and turned on the TV.

Because he hadn't watched TV for a long time, Dai Zhiwei turned on the TV after some research, and fully felt the world's malice towards the TV Xiaobai.

By the time he turned on the TV, the results of the first few groups of the draw for the World Cup in Russia had already come out.

Dai Zhiwei recalled, and it seemed that there was no difference from the previous life, until the Chinese team was drawn-

"Oh my God! Pretty! ”

In the eyes of the outside world, the Chinese team, which entered the World Cup again after 16 years, undoubtedly won a draw.

The Chinese team, which was drawn in Group F, was placed in a group with last World Cup champions Germany, North American giants Mexico, and Nordic powerhouse Sweden.

Almost all football journalists believe that the bottom of the Chinese team is almost certain in advance.

The German team has always been synonymous with stability, and for the Chinese team, Germany is difficult to overcome, and Sweden's style of play is becoming more and more mature. Mexico's technology and speed are not bad, and it is not easy for China to score points, so it can only hope for an upset.

As for qualifying, no one dares to think about it at all.

However, Dai Zhiwei didn't think so, because the Korean team in the previous life almost broke out of the encirclement.

He clearly remembers that the previous defending champion Germany team planted a big heel in the World Cup in Russia, and the group did not qualify, maybe the Chinese team really did not have a chance to cause an upset.

Of course, the hard power of the Chinese team is not as strong as the South Korean team in the same period, but there is Dai Zhiwei in the siege of the city, and Lippi in the strategy, everything is unknown!

At present, Dai Zhiwei has become a problem for the other 19 teams in the Premier League, just concluded in the 13th and 14th rounds of the Premier League, he scored two consecutive goals, not only increased his league goals this season to 22 goals, but also led Manchester United to 13 wins and 1 draw The best start in the Premier League in team history.

However, next door Manchester City have achieved the same result, so Manchester United still maintain the lead in the table by goal difference.

In the 15th round of the Premier League, Manchester United ushered in the focus of the battle again, and the opponent was Arsenal.

Once upon a time, the clash between the two teams was also known as the Premier League derby, but now Arsenal is no longer the hero of the past, and the Red Devils are no longer the Premier League hegemon of the Ferguson era.

Against Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, Mourinho was not false at all, whether it was during the Chelsea period or the Manchester United period, he won more and lost less against Wenger.

Both teams continue to field the same starting line-up as they won in the previous round.

However, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was unimpressed by Manchester United's strong visit in an interview, saying that Arsenal are fully capable of winning any strong opponent at home: "We are playing at home, this is one of our big advantages, although Manchester United are in good form now, but this game, all we have to do now is to turn the advantage into a win." ”

Arsene Wenger isn't the toughest either, as they beat Manchester United at home last season, ending the Red Devils' 25-game unbeaten run in the league, and they have recently won three consecutive Premier League games and are on the verge of winning the season.

Manchester United and Arsenal know each other well, and they ignored each other's temptations as soon as they came up, and were ready to start the real competition directly.

At the start of the first half, Arsenal played more aggressively and smoothly at home, and Sanchez, who has been rumored to be transferred, performed exceptionally well, but the lack of a kick in the goal prevented him from being promoted to the Ballon d'Or striker.

Seeing Sanchez's performance, Dai Zhiwei was also a little curious, because the previous Sanchez joined Manchester United in the winter transfer period of this season, but now because of his existence, not only Lukaku continues to play at Everton, but Sanchez has no possibility of transferring to Manchester United, I don't know where the future home of the Chilean king will be?

However, perhaps unlike his previous move to the Red Devils, Sanchez's peak could have remained for another year or two.

Arsenal's failure to create a goal in the first 10 minutes of the game prompted the Reds to adjust quickly, and the anti-visitors United quickly regained the initiative on the pitch.

After Manchester United had beaten Arsenal's three-pronged axe, Smalling's header from Jesse Lingard's corner was single-handedly tipped over the post by Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech.

Then, after Dai Zhiwei and Anthony Martial combined together, a powerful long-range shot from outside the box allowed Cech to make another save.

Arsenal soon returned the favor when Sanchez picked up a pass from Kolasinac and got up from 15 yards, but the shot was high and wide and was a waste of chance.

Dai Zhiwei and Anthony Martial, who have been in hot form in recent games, cleverly switched sides, won the ball on the right side of the box and then kept the ball crossing, and Ashley Young shook off the angle and twisted to shoot just wide.

One minute later, it was Dai Zhiwei who made the ball again, Lingard received Dai Zhiwei's pass and fired a powerful low shot from the edge of the penalty area, and Cech pounced sideways to seal the ball off the bottom line.

A corner was then swung in by Tai and Nemanja Matic swooped over the crossbar before Nemanja Matic swooped over the crossbar.

In the 34th minute of the game, Arsenal formed a quick counterattack, Ramsey slipped in the midfield, Ozil stopped the ball and turned to pick up the pass behind him in one go, Lacazette inserted an anti-offside position in time to successfully form a single knife, and calmly pushed the right corner of the goal into the right corner of the goal in the face of De Gea at 13 meters to break the deadlock.

0:1!

Manchester United, who attacked for 20 minutes, accidentally conceded a goal, and Mourinho shook his head in frustration.

And Dai Zhiwei is eyes are full of golden light, the most wonderful goal of Arsenal just now is Ozil's last pass, too coquettish, and the current Manchester United team is close to this level of Mkhitaryan.

"If I can partner with Ozil...... Dai Zhiwei is still thinking divergently.

Unfortunately, Ozil's strengths and weaknesses are equally clear, and Dai Zhiwei believes that Manchester United will not be too likely to bring him in.

After the restart, Manchester United, led by Dai Zhiwei, began to bombard the Arsenal goal, and they resisted for just seven minutes before they were equalised.

In the 41st minute, Lingard broke the ball in the middle circle and went to the front field and distributed it to Dai Zhiwei on the left, who crossed from the right corner of the penalty area, and Valencia rubbed a wonderful curling ball with his right foot when the ball was close to his body.

The ball arced beautifully and flew into the back of the net under the watchful eye of Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech, who didn't make any movement at all.

1:1!

"It's so beautiful!" Dai Zhiwei hugged the excited Valencia in a sprint, although the Manchester United captain's goals are very few, but almost every goal is wonderful, all of them are boutique!

The Reds, who had equalised quickly, were in complete control of the game and were awarded a penalty in stoppage time in the first half.

After Lindelof made a steal at the back, he proved to the outside world why Mourinho would choose him with a precise long ball of more than 50 meters.

Ashley Young broke into the box and made a coquettish dribble on his bike.

Koscielny, who was already the only defender in front of goal other than Cech, panicked at the moment and made an unforgivable mistake by stretching his leg to bring Ashley Young down.

This extremely obvious foul was naturally impossible to escape the eyes of the referee, and Austrian referee Prodz warned Koscielny with a yellow card and awarded a penalty.

Dai Zhiwei did it overnight!

But wait!

The referee signaled that Dai Zhiwei was required to be heavily punished after Martial entered the penalty area early after a penalty was made.

"Whew!" Dai Zhiwei shook his head, he didn't say anything to complain, no matter what he said at this time, it would not affect the referee's punishment, but only his mentality.

He put the ball back on the penalty spot and looked straight at Petr Cech on the goal-line.

Many players are used to not looking at the goalkeeper's facial expressions and eyes when taking penalties, but Dai Zhiwei is the opposite, and loves to look at the goalkeeper.

"Bang!"

Dai Zhiwei didn't bother much, withstood the pressure, and directly after the whistle was a tiger shot, and the football hung vigorously in the upper left corner of the goal.

The penalty, which was close to a theoretical dead corner, was impossible for Cech to touch unless he moved early.

2:1!

After the goal, Dai Zhiwei ran to the corner flag area with a relaxed face, and then made his trademark blowgun celebration.

Blowing guns at the home of the "Gunners" Arsenal is definitely a classic scene!

In first-half stoppage time, neither team could achieve anything.

In the first half of the game, Manchester United led Arsenal 2-1 into the half-time break.

At the beginning of the second half, Arsenal began a surging counterattack with the cheers of the fans in the stadium, wanting to start a Jedi comeback.

It was Kolasinac who headed in a scuffled left-hand corner from Bellerin, but the header was not threatening by a few tall Reds players, and De Gea, who had chosen his position, comfortably took the ball into his arms.

In the first 20 minutes of the second half, Arsenal took control of the initiative, but just like in the first half, they did not get any real benefits, only blossoming and not bearing fruit -

In the 47th minute, Monreal crossed diagonally from the left, and Kolasinac fired a left-footed volley high from 14 meters.

In the 53rd minute, Alexandre Lacazette headed a corner kick from the right, which was confiscated by De Gea, who was standing on the goal line.

In the 56th minute, Kolasinac made a clever pass with his heel, and substitute Welbeck fired a powerful shot from 14 meters on the right side that was slightly higher.

61st minute,......

Despite the passivity, there was no real threat to United's goal, and David De Gea made only a few difficult saves.

Mourinho also relieved himself and sat back on the bench, but in the next second he almost jumped up from his seat!

United suffered a blow in the 74th minute when Paul Pogba stepped on Bellerin's knee as he broke through with the ball and was sent off with a straight red card.

Seeing Pogba make another stupidity, Dai Zhiwei still has a hint of joy in his heart, the only one in the Manchester United team who is likely to compete with him for the first brother of the team is Pogba, but unfortunately the latter is more or less muddy and can't support the wall, and now it seems that under Dai Zhiwei's outstanding performance, he has begun to gradually fall behind.

Mourinho also hated iron and steel, and did not even communicate with Pogba after he walked off the field.

Jose Mourinho had reason to be angry, as Pogba's irrationality completely disrupted his tactical arrangements, and he was forced to replace Anthony Martial with a midfielder from the back Herrera to make up for the void in midfield after Pogba's departure.

Arsene Wenger also made changes at the same time, replacing Kolasinac with Olivier Giroud, which was clearly a signal to strengthen the attack.

After the substitution, Arsenal, who had the advantage in numbers, began to besiege at half-time.

Just minutes after the substitution, Arsenal fired another shot from inside the box, Sanchez crossed from the left, and Welbeck fired a left-footed shot from 12 yards out, which was shot high again in De Gea's laughing eyes.

After Pogba was sent off, Dai Zhiwei came to the rescue, and in order to prove that Pogba was not important, he began to exert his strength.

Don't blame Dai Zhiwei for having a dark heart, saying that all his colleagues at work are friends, it is definitely the thinking of a recent graduate.

Three minutes later, United had a rare second-half attack.

Ashley Young drove the ball into the back cross from the left, Lingard missed smartly in front, and Dai Zhiwei jumped to the top from 6 meters in front of the goal, but unfortunately the top was a little positive, and it was blocked by Cech's reaction.

However, Manchester United's rare quick counterattack also scared Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who hurriedly stood on the sidelines and shouted at his team's three central defenders, asking them to pay attention to the opponent's counterattack and improve their concentration.

Unfortunately, it was clear that the Arsenal players had put all their energy into attack, and Arsene Wenger's shouting didn't make much of a difference.

In the 81st minute, Monreal turned and shot from the edge of the penalty area without enough power to be easily confiscated by De Gea, and then De Gea quickly drove a long ball over half the court under the desperate eyes of the Arsenal players.

Lingard, who won the ball, drove straight into the field and decisively chose to split the ball against Arsenal's last centre-back, Koscielny.

Dai Zhiwei faced the goalkeeper on the left side of the penalty area, and his big volley hit the near post and bounced into the goal.

3:1!

Manchester United seal the win!

The brace, Tai Chi Wai, ran to one of the few United fan areas at the Emirates Stadium and patted the Red Devils crest on his chest.

There are no words, but he believes that through this game, every Manchester United fan will know who is the most important player for the Red Devils.

It's not Anthony Martial who is up and down, or Pogba, who was directly sent off with a red card in annoyance, he can only be the one who has been attacking the city for the team!

And the Arsenal team also completely lost the last momentum with Dai Zhiwei's goal and gave up the game.

Mourinho then replaced Jesse Lingard with Darmian and Marcus Rashford replaced Ashley Young to kill the little game time left.

In the end, Arsenal lost 1:3 to Manchester United at home, and the Premier League's three-game winning streak came to an abrupt end, while Manchester United still beat Manchester City, who has been in great form this season, to occupy the top spot in the standings.

After the game, Dai Zhiwei simply packed up and left directly from London.

Because, tomorrow is the 2017 Golden Globe Awards ceremony!
