No. 747: Win the battle and advance to the semi-finals of the FA Cup!
Almunia's center of gravity dropped, and he blocked Rooney's one-knife ball off the bottom line with his legs!
"Boom! ……”
There was a huge cry of regret at the Theater of Dreams, and Rooney held his head in pain, he had missed a great opportunity.
Arsenal broke out in a cold sweat and felt like they were in a big disaster.
Arsenal immediately fought back with a punch from Almunia that knocked Nani's corner out of the box, and Ramsey stepped forward and kicked the ball straight forward.
Chen Fan and Fabio. Da Silva struggled to scramble, after nearly two years of training in the Premier League, Chen Fan has made great progress in physical confrontation, and he is not at a disadvantage at all!
It was a surprise to know that Da Silva was half a head taller than him and looked stronger.
Chen Fan stabbed the football on his toes, and then suddenly accelerated again, leaving Da Silva behind!
Manchester United's other centre-back, Wesley. Brown's center of gravity dropped, and his right foot flew towards the football, and he was about to destroy.
Chen Fan yelled in his heart, his speed increased again, stretched out his right foot, and stabbed lightly on the football.
Football from Wesley. Brown flew in front of his toes and flew towards the penalty area!
Van der Sar walked out of the door to save the ball.
Poked the ball twice in a row, which made Chen Fan's physical fitness reach the extreme, but he didn't give up, and while running towards the football, he turned his head and shouted, "Hurry!" ”
Seven meters behind him, Van Persie accelerated sharply and ran towards the right side of the penalty area.
Chen Fan and Van der Sar are getting closer and closer to football, and the air at the Dream Theater is extremely tense.
About two meters away from the football, the two made moves at the same time, and Van der Sar jumped up to pounce on the ball; Chen Fan's center of gravity dropped, and he wanted to shovel the pass!
The air in the Theater of Dreams froze.
The next moment, the outside of Chen Fan's right foot touched the football, and the football flew towards the right front!
Van der Sar threw his hands on Chen Fan's right leg.
Van Persie accelerated again, shook off Evra next to him, and fired a shot!
The ball flew towards the empty goal, then flew over the goal line and drilled into the goal!
The ball is in!
Two to one!
Arsenal overtook the score!
Van Persie scored twice, he howled excitedly, turned around and came to Chen Fan, who was lying on the turf, pulled him up, and then gave him a tight hug.
This ball, if it weren't for Chen Fan's desperate scramble, he wouldn't have the possibility of scoring at all.
Manchester United is cold, damn it, even Arsenal like this can't beat?
After the resumption of the game, Manchester United launched another fierce attack.
Arsenal's midfield struggled to prop up, using their bodies and consciousness to break up the opponent's attack again and again, and no one knows how long they will be able to hold on.
"Why didn't Wenger let Chan retreat?"
A reporter on the sidelines asked such a question.
Four days ago, Arsenal played Barcelona at Camp Nou, and Chen Fan stayed in a central midfield position for the entire first half.
At the start of the second half, he returned to the striker position and helped Arsenal score three goals in a row. Then, with the big picture settled, Arsene Wenger once again put him back in a central midfield position.
This is the usual tactical routine of Wenger against strong teams.
That's why reporters have such questions.
However, Arsene Wenger did not let Chen Fan retreat to the midfield position.
As the game went on, Manchester United put more and more troops into the attack, which can be described as "pouring out".
Arsenal are in danger.
In the 40th minute of the second half, Nani fired a long-range shot from outside the penalty area, Almunia bent over and held the football firmly in his arms, followed by a big kick to kick the football forward.
Long pass and quickly counterattack!
The hearts of the home fans hung in the air.
Van Persie roared and jumped high to overpower Vesely. Brown, a header ferryed, and the football flew in front of Chen Fan!
Da Silva was prepared, took two steps forward and kicked the ball with his right foot, and he wanted to clear the ball with a big foot.
An accident happened, and the football went towards Chen Fan's chest!
Chen Fan instinctively closed his chest, and the football hit him hard in the chest and rebounded back.
Da Silva reacted swiftly, taking two steps forward to take control of the ball, and this time he took a more secure approach.
Chen Fan pounced like a tiger and turned on the steal mode!
Da Silva didn't know that Chen Fan's stealing ability was super strong, so he decided to dispose of the football immediately, so he raised his right foot to kick the football out.
At the same time as he raised his leg, Chen Fan stretched out his left foot, and he wanted to intercept it.
If the person who played the ball at this time was replaced by Messi, he would definitely forcibly slow down, kick as a buckle, and get rid of Chen Fan.
But that ability is only possessed by superstars, and Da Silva is not a superstar, he follows the established plan and kicks in football.
The next moment, the football hit the inside of Chen Fan's left foot and flew towards the sideline.
"Is Chen a wall?"
Some reporters on the scene made such an exclamation.
On the field, Chen Fan ran towards the football and took control of the football on the sideline.
Da Silva pounced, Chen Fan kicked a cross, and the ball flew towards the middle, and then he immediately moved to the middle.
Van Persie, who was plugged in, flew forward, took the ball under control, and then slammed his left foot, and the ball flew out of his right heel!
"Good time!"
Chen Fan took two steps forward, took the outside of his right foot, and the football flew to the middle, and then he raised his right leg and shot with a kick!
The ball sticks to the turf and flies like a sharp arrow towards the bottom left corner of the goal!
Van der Sar roared in his heart and jumped towards the football!
In the flash of lightning, the ball flew past his fingertips and into the net!
The ball is in!
The score becomes three to one!
Arsenal extend their advantage!
The Dream Theater fell into a deathly silence!
Chen Fan turned around and pointed at Fan Persie, jumped up, and flew on top of him......
Manchester United fans looked at the Dutch duo with a cold look, and these two men ......
Wenger, who was sitting on the bench, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then came to the command area and yelled at Chen Fan, signaling him to retreat to the midfield position.
Ferguson, who was sitting on the bench, shook his head in his heart.
After the resumption of the game, United's attack intensified, and Chen Fan and Song, who returned to the midfield position, erected a solid barrier in front of the back line.
Manchester United couldn't open up the situation in the middle at all, so they had to move the football to the wings.
Wide cross.
Arsenal's two centre-backs rose to the ground again and again, pushing the ball out of the box to protect their own air.
At the end of three minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
It's over!
Arsenal beat Manchester United 3-1 at the Theatre of Dreams to reach the FA Cup semi-finals!
This is the result that no one expected, after the game, Manchester United fans stared blankly at the huge electronic display screen on the pitch.
Arsenal fans were ecstatic.
A reporter from Liverpool shook his head and sighed: "Wenger's tactics are very mature now, he will counterattack with defense when he encounters a strong team, and he will force him to crush when he encounters a weak team. ”
A local reporter spat out a mouthful of phlegm and said, "If it weren't for Chen, his tactics would be of no use, just self-inflicted humiliation!" ”
The meaning of this statement is clear, without Chen, could Arsenal beat Manchester United at the Theatre of Dreams?
