No. 747: FA Cup against Manchester United again!

The Champions League is over, and the FA Cup is rekindled.

The FA Cup quarter-finals are on March 13!

Arsenal's opponent is Manchester United!

It was a game with no way back for Manchester United, and a defeat to Arsenal would have them lost their chance to stop Arsenal from defending the Double.

What's more, if they lose the FA Cup again, they risk falling into an embarrassing situation this season.

For the arrogant Manchester United soldiers, this is absolutely unacceptable.

The Guardian analysed the outcome of the game: "Manchester United have the advantage! ”

'First of all, they played at home and secondly they didn't play the Champions League in midweek. Of course, there is a dilemma for Ferguson, as Manchester United have a Champions League game next Wednesday!

Although a 0-0 result at home to Marseille gave them the upper hand, they had to take it seriously.

If they send all their main players to face Arsenal, it will definitely have an impact on their Champions League game.

Therefore, Ferguson will start at most half of the main team, which gives Arsenal a chance.

In addition, in such an important game, Arsene Wenger will certainly have the trident all on the field. Chan has been on a hot streak of late and will be United's biggest threat with another hat-trick at Camp Nou.

How to contain Chen is still a problem for Ferguson to solve. If he doesn't solve this problem well, what awaits him could be a failure. ”

The Manchester City Evening News doesn't think Chen Fan is a problem: "Although Chen is only 20 years old and is at a fit age, they have just played a big game at Camp Nou.

In just three days, he can get back to his peak?

Arsenal's other main players also have this problem, Manchester United is waiting for work, and it is still playing at home, can't they win Arsenal? ”

The three major gambling companies in Europe have opened such a handicap for this match: Manchester United wins 1:2.14, draws 1:3.24, and loses 1:3.58!

The bookmakers are also not optimistic that Arsenal will be able to beat Manchester United at the Theatre of Dreams.

……

Arsenal will be aiming to defend their title this season and they have long anticipated the difficulties they will encounter, so it was not a surprise or surprise to meet Manchester United in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

But the big problem is that, as the media says, they have just played a big game against Barcelona at the Camp Nou and are in a period of fatigue.

Van Persie took on the responsibility of captaining himself, encouraging: "I know my brothers are tired, but which one can easily win the title? ”

"I'm going to ask the coach to fight, I'm going to play against Manchester United!"

Fabregas nodded and said, "I'll fight too!" ”

Chen Fan said: "Count me in!" ”

The Arsenal players watched the trident make a statement, and the pressure on their bodies decreased a lot, and Song said loudly: "Then, we will beat Manchester United in the Theater of Dreams!" ”

Arshavin exclaimed, "Good! ”

At Camp Nou, the Russian all but disappeared from view, scoring just five points after the game, the lowest scorer on the team.

This has left Russia very frustrated, and he hopes that he can regain his form and confidence as soon as possible.

……

At 8 p.m. on March 13, the FA Cup quarter-finals between Arsenal and Manchester United kicked off on time at the Theatre of Dreams.

Arsene Wenger made individual changes to the midfield and the trident came on to express his determination to win the game!

What is surprising is that Ferguson actually sent a full main force!

"Why did Jazz do that? Isn't the Champions League important? ”

A reporter asked puzzled.

An old reporter standing next to him analyzed: "Sir Alex Ferguson wants to let Arsene Wenger fail to defend the double, and as for the Champions League, Marseille should not be able to cause him any big trouble." ”

Another reporter nodded and said: "Manchester United's bench depth is the deepest in the Premier League, and Manchester United, which is half the main team, should not have much problem against Marseille."

If there are anyone in the Premier League who doesn't want to see Arsenal defend their title double, Ferguson is definitely in the top spot. can destroy Arsenal with his own hands, how could Ferguson let go of such an opportunity! ”

Everyone nodded.

On the pitch, as soon as the game began, Manchester United moved their football to the front of the pitch to attack.

Arsenal did not press high and opted to retreat.

Pressing high is too physically demanding, and Arsene Wenger has abandoned this tactic.

Half an hour into the game, the game was completely controlled by Manchester United, who continued to attack Arsenal's defence.

Arsenal could only play a counter-attack.

After 45 minutes of fierce battle, the two sides ended the first half with a score of 0-0.

For such a result, fans on both sides are not satisfied.

God, for a tired division like Arsenal, Manchester United didn't even score in the first half?

Manchester United fans were disappointed.

In the second half, could Arsenal still hold up?

Arsenal fans are very worried about their team, and they have become accustomed to the strategy of "scoring first, then playing on the counter-attack" against strong teams.

With Chen Fan's speed and the tacit understanding of the Dutch double, Arsenal's defensive counterattack tactics are the sharpest in the Premier League and even in Europe.

After a fifteen-minute break, the players from both sides returned to the field, and the fateful second half of the decisive battle began.

Amid the huge shouts of the home fans, Manchester United's attack became more and more fierce, and the game turned into a half-time offensive and defensive drill.

Chen Fan is in this situation, where is there any opportunity to perform, Manchester TV commentator said happily: "Chen is no longer good, but this is also easy to understand, after all, he played a fierce game four days ago." ”

In the seventeenth minute of the second half, Manchester United's efforts paid off when Wayne Rooney found a long-range shot in front of the penalty area and fired a heavy shot!

Almunia didn't dare to hold it up and used his fists to block the ball out of the box.

Nani from outside the box stepped forward and fired a volley!

The angle of the ball was tricky, the speed was amazing, Almunia couldn't save, and the ball went into the net against the left post of the goal!

The ball is in!

1 to 0!

Manchester United break the deadlock!

There were deafening cheers at the Theatre of Dreams, who saw the hope of beating Arsenal and saw the dream of Arsenal's double title defense shattered.

After the resumption of the game, Manchester United pressed high in midfield as they sought to crush Arsenal's ambitions once and for all.

What is surprising is that Nani's goal seems to have woken up Arsenal and Chen Fan, who had been silent for a long time.

In the twenty-first minute of the second half, Chen Fan broke through successfully on the side and made a cross!

The soccer accurately found Arshavin at the back point.

The unmarked Russians hit the head with a hammer!

Van der Sar bravely lifted the ball off the crossbar and defused the crisis.

Five minutes later, Arsenal were back in the back of the pack as the trident made a dazzling effort into United's heart to tear apart the defence.

Cesc Fabregas made a direct pass, the football flew into the Manchester United penalty area, Chen Fan, who was running, knocked his heel, and the football flew to the middle!

"Smack! ……”

Van Persie, who followed up, pushed and the ball flew into the goal from the left side of the goal!

The ball is in!

One-to-one!

Arsenal equalised!

After the game restarted, Arsenal changed their previous tactics and did not retreat from all fronts, but pressed high.

A battle unfolded at the Theatre of Dreams, and the London reporter excitedly said: "This is the real Arsenal!" ”

Arsenal did have a physical problem as time went on, and in the 29th minute of the second half, Nani shook off the defence on the left and moved the ball to the middle.

After Rooney got the ball, he suddenly got rid of Koscielny with a sudden acceleration and went into the penalty area!

Single Knife!

Almunia dropped the goal, and Manchester United's headliner pushed it away!

The atmosphere at the Dream Theater is lively!
