No. 676: Passion!

The game is about to start, and the broadcast booth is lively.

Bill, the commentator of Sky Sports in the UK, said proudly: "Tonight once again broke the Premier League broadcast record, broke the European broadcast record, and the number of TV stations that came to the scene to give live commentary reached an astonishing 295!" ”

"This record belongs to the Premier League, to Manchester United and Arsenal!"

"According to media speculation, the audience of this game will reach a staggering 200 million people watching live TV!"

ESPN focused on the starting line-ups: "Ferguson's formation is still a four-four-two, goalkeeper Edwin. Edwin; Defenders: Patrice Evra, Leo. Ferdinand, Vidic, Rafael. da Silva; Four midfielders: Paul. Scholes, Fletcher, Anderson, Nani; Two forwards: Dimitar Berbatov, Wayne. Rooney!

Arsene Wenger lined up in a four-one-one-one formation, and it seemed that their tactics were to defend steadily and counterattack.

Goalkeepers: Almunia; Four defenders: Klicy, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Sagna; Five midfielders: Diaby, Song, Ramsey, Arshavin, Chen; The only striker is Robin van Persie ......"

After the players from both sides were on their feet, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game.

Wayne Rooney passed the football club to the backfield, and before Arsenal's midfield could pass half-time, Manchester United immediately moved the football to the front and launched an attack!

Nani played a beautiful cross with Rooney on the flank after Scholes' pass.

The Portuguese winger suddenly cut inside after getting the ball and went to the middle!

Song immediately stepped forward to block, Nani shook him, left him behind, and then shot hard!

The soccer ball flies to the left of the goal!

Almunia leaped, and the ball flew past his fingertips, grazing the post and flying off the line!

"Boom! ……”

There was a huge exclamation at Old Trafford, followed by thunderous applause.

Manchester United took the lead and occupied the high point of momentum.

As soon as the game restarted, they pressed high and Arsenal felt the pressure on them all over and down.

Perhaps it was because he didn't have a good rest last night, when Song had a problem with Fabregas's pass under Rooney's pressure and was intercepted by Paul Scholes halfway.

"Smack! ……”

The United midfielder immediately launched a quick counter-attack, with a through ball that flew towards Berbatov.

The Bulgarian striker himself stopped the ball firmly at his feet and then crossed it horizontally!

Rooney, who flew in, raised his right leg and fired a long shot!

Maybe the step point was not on point, Rooney's shot was wide of the goal!

As soon as the game began, United turned the game into a half-time drill, much to the excitement of the home fans, who shouted louder.

And the faces of Arsenal fans are a little pale, in front of an opponent like Manchester United, any previous record is useless, as long as they play crazy and can beat any opponent.

In the next game, Manchester United still used high pressing, and stubbornly suppressed Arsenal in the half.

From a distance, the red wave is monstrous, about to swallow everything in front of you.

In the ninth minute of the first half, Manchester United once again tore apart Arsenal's defence on the left flank, Nani took the ball and forced a break into the box, and the Arsenal penalty area was in a panic.

At the moment when Nani shot, Arsenal central defender Fermaelen flew to block and blocked the football from the bottom line!

This made Arsenal break out in a cold sweat.

Arsene Wenger was no longer able to sit on the bench and came to the command area to signal to the players at the back not to reverse the ball in central midfield and move the ball directly to the front.

Defenders go straight to the striker, a tactic that abandons the midfield, and is often used when the score is behind and there is little time left.

It's very rare for a game like this to be adopted just ten minutes into the game.

What does this mean?

It shows that Manchester United put so much pressure on Arsenal's backfield that they simply can't push through layers and get the ball to the feet of the strikers.

The group of reporters on the sidelines, the local reporters were excited, this is the passionate Manchester United!

"The battle for the pinnacle? Is this the battle for the pinnacle? ”

A journalist from Africa shook his head and said: "I thought it was a close game, the two sides would fight each other, but I didn't expect it to be a half-time offensive and defensive drill." ”

This is very useful to the local reporter, Matthew. Upson affectionately put his hand on the African journalist's shoulder and said with a smile: "Who says it isn't? I also thought it was a big offensive battle, but Arsenal could only cower in their own half, which was so disappointing, how can they be worthy of the fans all over the world? ”

"Manchester United wanted to play against each other, but Arsenal didn't give it a chance."

The London reporter's face was ugly, and one reporter couldn't help but spit on the turf and scolded in a low voice: "Damn, don't be happy too soon, the Dutch twins will give you a good look!" ”

Matthew. Upson was about to fight back immediately, but the eyes and attention of the reporters turned to the pitch as a Manchester United corner had been smashed into the Arsenal box.

Everyone knows that Arsenal's set-piece defense is not good, maybe this corner can help Manchester United open up the situation!

Bulgarian star Dimitar Berbatov leaps high over Vermaelen, then a beautiful lion shakes his head and the ball flies towards the goal!

Almunia leaps high, but his fingers fail to touch the football!

The next moment, the football grabs the crossbar and flies out of the bottom line!

"Boom! ……”

There was another huge exclamation from the stands, and Arsenal fans were wiping cold sweat from their foreheads.

Wenger, who was sitting on the bench, let out a long breath, and the worry in his eyes grew thicker.

Ferguson chewed his gum at a faster pace, and his hands trembled even more.

Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia was clearly unhappy with his team-mates, yelling at the defenders and signalling them to keep a tight eye, which would be very troublesome.

When the game resumed, Almunia was completely disappointed with his midfield team-mates and kicked the ball straight forward.

Matthew. Upson looked at the football flying to the United half and made a surprised expression: "Arsenal finally took the initiative to transfer the football to the United half, it's amazing!" ”

The London reporter can't wait to slap him in the face a few times, damn it, you've been deranged by Chen......

Manchester United centre-back Rio Ferdinand put Van Persica behind him, and United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar easily plucked the football and then tossed it to Rafael. Da Silva.

Chen Fan immediately asked Rafael who had the ball. Da Silva pressed for it and motioned for Van Persie to pick a position to intercept.

Van Persie took a quick look and immediately motioned to several midfield team-mates near the centre circle to block their passes.

In an instant, Arsenal's midfield laid a big net!

Rafael. Seeing Chen Fan's aggressive rushing, Da Silva made a horizontal pass and passed the football to Vidic.

Chen Fan turned around and ran wildly towards Vidic!

Looking at the big net laid by the Arsenal midfielders, Manchester United fans couldn't help but worry, and they shouted "Long pass!" ”

Vidic ignored the shouts of the fans and shifted the ball to the feet of Ferdinand on the left.

Van Persie pounced like a hungry wolf!

Ferdinand raised his right foot and then kicked the ball hard, and he was about to move it straight up front to invalidate the Arsenal net.

Van Persie, who was running wildly, instinctively stretched out his right leg to block.

The next moment the ball hit his outstretched right leg and flew between the two United centre-backs.

Shocking!

Where would Chen Fan let go of such a good opportunity and rushed towards football like lightning!

For the first time, the air at Old Trafford became tense!
