Chapter 618: Trap
The slightest deviation from course is not fatal for a ship sailing in the depths of the sea, as long as they can get the steering wheel back in time, and the ship can still survive the deep water without typhoons or reefs.
Arsenal didn't spend much time studying tactical knowledge at half-time, and both manager Arsene Wenger and player representative Ni Tu seemed to have their focus on the team's willpower.
Ni Tu, who was one step ahead, said what he thought in his heart, and Wenger also made clear his attitude towards his disciple's point of view support, both of them actually understood that what Arsenal lacks now is not physical fitness, let alone tactics, but a firm heart!
Football is football, and many unpredictable things can happen on the field, but if you can continue your career with peace of mind without being affected by unexpected events, even if you can't succeed, you won't regret and regret it later.
Arsenal haven't changed much tactically, they just made it clear that as long as United want to attack, then Arsenal must use the deadliest counter-attacks to warn their opponents that they are not really powerless.
They just think it's 0-0 and they have to get rid of the negativity in the first half.
The second half of the game began.
While the United players were applauded by the 70,000 fans, most of them still wanted their teams to continue to increase the scoreline.
Because the current Manchester United needs a big win to sweep away the haze in the previous league, if it can get a perfect victory against Arsenal, which is also a giant and their old enemy, the effect will naturally be better, the feeling will naturally be stronger, and the confidence of the whole Manchester United will definitely usher in a huge boost.
However, if it is only a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, such a result does not look like a victory, Arsenal have recently suffered a more obvious physical bottleneck due to the schedule, and their Red Devils Manchester United are more like waiting for work.
If waiting for the rabbit can only get a small victory that is not very convincing, it can only prove that Manchester United has not yet returned to the right track, or left the training of Alex Ferguson, under the leadership of Moyes, Manchester United is indeed not the same as in the past, Arsenal has been blown off an obvious good goal!
At half-time, the controversial goal at the start of the game was shown in the replay that Oliver had made an indisputable miscalculation! Originally, Arsenal took a 1-0 lead in 3 minutes of the game!
In this context, Manchester United players can know that they are still busy in the second half, but it is a pity that they did not do it in the first half, and if they understand Chinese culture, they must know that there is a sentence behind this poem "Don't sell your fame and learn from the overlord"! They don't want to be defeated in the end, do they?
Therefore, the battle against Arsenal in their current form only ended up with a 1-0 result, which is indeed not a victory to boast about in the eyes of some, or in the eyes of the vast majority!
The rhythm of United's second half was set.
Unlike the Manchester United players, Arsenal were greeted only by the customary applause of a few thousand fans, after all, this is Old Trafford, their complete away game, and they are greeted even more by the boos of the 70,000 fans!
Fans don't care if Arsenal is facing any objective problems, what they expect in their hearts is to let their team seize this great opportunity, hit the opponent in one fell swoop, and give Old Trafford a sunny day.
Ni Tu walked in the crowd, he felt particularly powerful now, he now knew that he was not alone, he had teammates who had unified their minds!
Looking up at the black crowd in front of him, Ni Tu even felt that the boos had become much quieter, and they were no longer noisy, but better sounding.
Manchester United's players and coaches thought Arsenal would make some kind of tactical change in the second half, after all, the teams that fell behind always came out after half-time.
But they didn't expect that the Arsenal people knew them more than they knew Arsenal, Manchester United was still the same Manchester United in the first half, and Arsenal was no longer the Arsenal of the first 45 minutes.
The game is back on.
In the first minute of the second half, Manchester United manager David Moyes felt a little uncomfortable.
The expected Arsenal change of tactics to press out for attack did not seem to materialize, and the opponents even became a little more dull than they were in the first half.
Moyes also had a short-term brain crash, and he couldn't understand why Arsenal suddenly had a single game and became unhurried.
"Who the hell is lagging behind, hey! Mr. Wenger, you have to see clearly! It's my team that's leading now, it's Manchester United, not Arsenal! ”
Moyes stole a glance at Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger not far from him, a little obscene, a little confused, he instinctively felt that the old guy was doing some shady tricks, and now, he was a little overwhelmed.
"Hmph~ whatever! Anyway, it's us who are leading, if you're not in a hurry, what are our records? Are you so honest? Then let's compare who is more calm in the end! I still don't believe that you can hold your breath so calmly! ”
Moyes cheered himself up in his heart, but he was a little suspicious of himself, he seemed to smell a conspiracy, but he just couldn't figure out what was wrong with it.
The United players on the pitch were also a little confused, and they didn't know if they should move on or stabilize a little bit when they thought the situation didn't happen.
The game was going on, and in the blink of an eye, another ten minutes passed, and the game in these ten minutes can be said to be quite dull.
David Moyes has been frowning, his brain now running at high speed after a period of blank period, as he tries to figure out what Arsenal are really thinking right now.
"It's impossible not to be in a hurry, there's no reason not to be in a hurry! Are they obviously lagging behind? It's so unreasonable......"
Thinking about it, it seemed that something suddenly came to mind, and Moyes was so anxious that he slapped his thigh, and he hated to slap himself immediately.
"Holy! They don't have physical fitness! They were trying to save energy and make a last ditch stand with us! ”
Manchester United, who discovered this, gradually fell into the trap of Arsenal, Moyes thought he had found the problem, but he just let himself sink into one foot!
