After the score became 2-1, not to mention how high the atmosphere in the stadium was, the situation in the stadium actually had a period of adjustment that lasted about four or five minutes.

In the second half, before kick-off for the third time in his own half (the first was the kick-off during the rematch), Li Mudi conveyed his latest arrangement to the whole team by calling up several players who were closer to his position.

After being stimulated by joy and sorrow in such a short period of time, the Arsenal boss felt that he should give his disciples a buffer time to adjust, and instructed them to calm down by passing the ball through their own midfield after winning the ball, and also to wait and see what the opponent would do.

Li Mudi was very satisfied with the result, although the score and the process of its formation were very unfavorable for his side, but the mental state of the players was still relatively strong, although it was inevitable that they would feel very frustrated because of the consecutive goals conceded, but they quickly adjusted themselves and pulled their attention back to the game.

In addition, the overall retreat of the opponent's three lines also allowed the Gunners' previously stressed defence to breathe a sigh of relief. There are still about thirty-five minutes left, as long as you can no longer concede goals, in the face of a ball gap, there are still chases.

When the number on the timer on the electronic screen jumped to 55:00, the Arsenal players, who had been in control of the ball in central midfield, suddenly increased the pace of transmission and pushed all three lines forward by a distance of about five meters, and the ball also entered more of the home team's key defensive area.

As mentioned above, Mourinho's mastery is to build a meat grinder-like barrier in his team's midfield, disrupt the opponent's attacking organisation as much as possible, drag the game into the mess he is good at, and then use his experience in this rhythm to beat the opponent and win.

In the more than four seasons he has been in charge of Manchester United, the tactical philosophy that has been implemented by the team is also the same, but because of the problem of squad configuration, he has never been able to achieve the highest form he demanded.

However, Mourinho has not given up on his plans to transform the Red Devils on his own, and as soon as he took office, he brought in Mkhitaryan from Borussia Dortmund as the next Sneijder and Eden Hazard. And Pogba, who was introduced from Juventus in the way of creating a transfer value in world football at that time, was the absolute offensive and defensive core in the mind of the Manchester United manager, but these two people eventually disappointed him.

A season later, he poached Nemanja Matic from his former club Chelsea to take over the defensive responsibilities in midfield, hoping to free up other midfielders, especially Pogba, to focus more on attack. However, this wishful thinking did not work, and in the face of the strong attacking power of the rest of the championship teams, Matic alone was powerless to resist, and the French midfielders were basically forced to recycle and do the dirty work.

Even when Marouane Fellaini was still around, the team couldn't give their number one star plenty of room to play on himself, as the Belgian had become a substitute centre-forward in the hands of Jose Mourinho, completely losing his former barely qualified defensive ability. So once the defense is tight, Pogba has to come back to help, and it is really a big loss to buy such a "back midfielder" with only mediocre defensive ability for 100 million euros.

So after Fellaini decided to switch to the major leagues at the end of last season, Mourinho bought a midfielder Doucoure, hoping to send a two-back combination at some important moments, or to unleash Pogba's talent in attack.

It's just that this configuration is not very common when the new season has been started for more than two months, because with the in-depth study of his style of play by many opponents in the Premier League, more and more mid-range teams have begun to take aggressive front-court pressing against Manchester United to implement counter-restriction measures against them. So judging from the way the personnel are used, Doucoure still shares playing time with Nemanja Matic more.

However, in the face of a strong opponent or a leading situation, two people will occasionally appear at the same time, and today's battle of the gun demon is suitable for this routine.

After a period of passing the ball in central midfield, Arsenal suddenly picked up the tempo of the game and launched a series of attacks on both flanks from the point of contact in the middle. United's 4-3-3 formation focuses on the central area, and the two are not very strong defensively, because Rashford and Jesse Lingard are both defensive abilities in the FM system, with wingers of 5 or 6 points, who cannot help much at the back.

The midfield of the pitch with Mkhitaryan and Torreira making it difficult for the home team's three central midfielders to juggle both sides at the same time, coupled with the flexible movement of the two of the American sheep's Alexandre Lacazette, made Bellerin and Kolasinac's forward attack very threatening. Soon, Andreas Pereira was on the right side of the centre and had two successive leaks and was exploited by the visitors' attacking players to successfully complete a long-range shot that hit the target.

Rather than opting to suppress the Gunners' forward pressure with an attack-to-attack attack or remove a striker to increase the number of players in midfield, Mourinho Mourinho replaced Jesse Lingard with Abdoucoure and changed the formation to 4-3-1-2. In midfield, Nemanja Matic was in the middle, flanking Andreas Pereira and the new Frenchman, with Pogba moving up the front.

From this position, it can be seen that the Manchester United manager has not given up the idea of attacking, and after the team's tactics have shifted to a defensive counter-attacking style, it is actually quite thoughtful to make such an adjustment.

When the Gunners' backline is pressed higher, there is a large open field behind them, just enough for Marcus Rashford, who can only keep up with Bellerin, and Romelu Lukaku, who is at the top of his height and weight class, and Pogba behind them can play an important role in receiving and forming a second outflanking.

As for the passer, Andreas Pereira's long passing ability is needless to say, and even Doucoure, who has just come out, has the ability to shoot from a distance and deliver shells over long distances, just forming a perfect counter-attacking partner with his teammates in the front court, as long as he gets the opportunity, he is very likely to create a killer move, once the score comes to 3-1, the result of the game is basically not too suspenseful.

It's a good plan, but it's a different story to put it in the game. Because of the player information provided by Li Mudi through the FM system, he has long studied these players of Manchester United thoroughly, and as soon as he saw that the opponent changed the formation, he also made adjustments to deal with it.

Abdoulaye Doucoure's passing accuracy drops dramatically when heavily interfered, Andreas Pereira's weak ability to compete for the ball and his poor one-on-one defensive ability, and Nemanja Matic, 32, who has suffered a major injury before, has lost his speed and awareness of fighting for every ball, all of which are weaknesses that Arsenal players can exploit.

Under the high-intensity impact of the Gunners and the strategy of pressing in the frontcourt, it is difficult to ensure the quality of the home team's passing at the back, making it difficult for Lukaku and others to get comfortable opportunities to get the ball, and it is naturally impossible to talk about the perfect counterattack in the plan of Mu Shuai.

He replaced Lingard in order to speed up the transition from defense to attack, but now the team's backfield is simply unable to send high-quality passes that can complete this task, and it is difficult to hold the ball even under the crazy pressing of the Arsenal people, let alone the speed of the speed, because the counterattack can't be played at all!

As a last resort, Pogba had to step back to help his team-mates cope with the pressure of the opposition after gaining possession, resulting in a huge space between United's midfield and forward line, which was considered a complete disconnect. So the little monster and Master La also had to retreat, so that the quick counterattack strategy that Mourinho had just formulated directly failed.

By removing the pressure from the backline, Arsenal can in turn put more energy into attack, creating a good cycle and taking the initiative firmly into their own hands.

At this time, even viewers who are new to the sport can see that the home team is afraid that life will be difficult in the coming period.

In the 64th minute, Bellerin, Mkhitaryan, Torreira and Kolasinac completed a continuous pass between the four people, and the latter sent a through ball, but unfortunately the inverted triangle return pass after Lacazette cut forward was broken by Phil Jones first, otherwise the Uruguayan international, who had accelerated to the middle of the penalty area, would never miss the opportunity to shoot vigorously.

Two minutes later, the Armenia international took a tactical corner from the left and Kolasinac unleashed a long-range shot close to the turf from the corner of the home penalty area, only to be deflected off the beaten path by failing to master his footwork, but unexpectedly created a clever pass.

Unfortunately, the ball was too fast, and there were many players in the middle to obstruct the view, and when Holding who was ambushed at the back point reacted to make a tackle action, he just missed half a beat, and the ball almost grazed his toes, and finally flew out of the bottom line, so that the hearts of all Manchester United people on the scene almost stopped beating.

Mourinho, who felt a hint of death at this time, immediately made the second substitution of the game, and the Spanish veteran Sergio Herrera, who had just recovered from a left thigh muscle strain, was called in for Rashford, who could almost be said to be inactive. United's formation has changed to 4-3-2-1, and Herrera's ability to control the overall situation is unquestionable, and his contribution at the defensive end is also huge, which is a model for Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira, very versatile.

After the removal of the fastest player in the team, Mourinho's tactical intentions were also more obvious, and he directly abandoned the quick counter-attacking strategy developed after the last substitution, and instead sought to regain possession. This can reduce the number of attacks and reduce the pressure on your own backline, and on the other hand, it can also deplete the opponent's morale, and then wait for the opportunity to find holes in the Arsenal defence to deal with them, and finally push the visitors back to half-time completely.

But before his plan could be implemented, the situation on the field changed, and their lead was erased.

In the 69th minute, Arsenal played a key combination of the manager's deployment in the positional battle, and after Torreira completed a wall-to-wall connection with his team-mate, he passed through Andreas Pereira's defensive zone like a stake. In the centre, Nemanja Matic was afraid to step forward because of Mkhitaryan's advance, so right wing-back Ricardo Pereira had to wipe his team-mate's butt, and the space behind him was caught by Kolasinac, who had come up in the back row.

The Bosnia-Herzegovina international accelerated to cut inside immediately after receiving the ball, and when he rushed to the sideline of the home team's big penalty area seven or eight meters from the baseline, he was blocked by Phil Jones. However, Arsenal's left wingback did not choose to slow down at all, but used the outside of his left foot to wave the ball and dodge a space, and then directly kicked a powerful ball like a pass and shot, and the ball went straight to the small penalty area in front of the goal with lightning speed. There, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette had formed a two-point outflanking situation, and the United goal was in extreme danger in an instant.

Seeing this, De Gea immediately made the decision to intercept in advance, but because the ball was too fast to catch directly, in order to avoid a situation of getting out of his hand, he adopted a single punch to hit it as far away as possible, and finally caught up with the ball in front of Mei Yangyang, who rushed forward.

It's just that in a flash of light, the Spanish international didn't notice that in the direction of his hit, his teammate Bailly was settling the opponent's striker. The result was a tragedy, as the ball bounced off the chest of the Ivory Coast centre-back and headed straight for Manchester United. Fortunately, the speed was not too fast, and De Gea, who had already fallen to the ground, thought he had a chance to make a second save to defuse the crisis.

However, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who was right in front of goal, was not going to miss the pie that was delivered to his mouth, and he quickly raised his long legs to poke the ball into the net before anyone else could react.

2-2, the two sides were tied again.

The home fans at the scene no longer know what to do, although they have conceded a goal, but the attitude of their players who have just worked hard to defend is still worthy of recognition, and they can only blame luck not on Manchester United's side. So continue to boo the Arsenal players? However, the other party didn't seem to be affected, but the more he fought, the more excited he became. So what about Mourinho's conservatism? There is still a lot of disagreement among the fan base, with a significant number still insisting that the time has come to fully support the manager of a team that is struggling.

As a result, the entire Old Trafford stadium cut at least two-thirds of the population as if out of thin air in the next ten minutes, and the decibel level of the previous noise dropped significantly.

It's just that no matter what the atmosphere of the fans is, it can't change the situation that the Red Devils players in the field are pressed to the ground by the opponent and constantly rubbed against each other, if it weren't for the hard defense of De Gea and others, the home team's goal may have been pierced more than once.

But even such a world-class defensive play didn't come close to keeping a draw until the end. In the third minute of stoppage time, the already frantic Arsenal players launched the final onslaught, and substitute Golovin burst into the box and was tripped by Nemanja Matic.

Although a penalty had been awarded to the visitors before, the foul by the Serbian midfielder was so obvious that it could not be let go at all. So under huge psychological pressure, referee Kevin Fryander pointed his finger to the twelve-yard point for the second time, which naturally triggered the audience to scold like a volcanic eruption.

Just when Li Mudi and other Gunners members were ready to usher in a new record of ten consecutive wins in the league, the penalty taker Aubameyang kicked the ball off the crossbar, allowing everyone to hear the whistle at the end of the game with an incredible look on their faces.
