As Chen Fan was running towards the football, Cesc Fabregas stepped forward quickly, and he had to pick up in the middle.

Manchester United central defender Nemanja Vidic immediately stepped forward to intercept Chen Fan when he was running wildly, and in an instant, the two of them pounced towards their prey like two fierce tigers!

Their prey is the spun spun soccer ball.

Chen Fan stretched out his right foot on the right side of the penalty area to unload the football in advance, and Vidic did not swoop, but stood sideways between Chen Fan and the goal.

This is an excellent defensive position, if Chen Fan accelerates to dribble in a straight line, he only needs to take a step forward to get Chen Fan stuck behind him.

If the card is unsuccessful, he can always use a tackle to destroy it.

If Chen Fan cuts inside, he can completely block the shooting route with his body.

Vidic's clever defensive position made Chen Fan unable to find the shooting route and space for a while.

No shooting route and space has never been a problem for a striker like Chen Fan, he can create!

So his center of gravity began to swing slightly from side to side, and no one knew his next moment of breaking through with the ball!

Vidic's expression was extremely serious, his center of gravity dropped slightly, staring closely at the change in Chen Fan's center of gravity, and he felt a strong pressure.

In a way, Nemanja Vidic's defence has been successful, and he has traded space for time, and his team-mates can use this time to chase back and form a containment with him.

As he thought, Ferdinand was only two meters away from Chen Fan at the moment!

That's a big step for a good professional, and the pressure on Vidic has eased a lot.

Seeing that Manchester United's two central defenders were about to form a trap, Chen Fan didn't have time to sigh, he glanced towards the middle, and then a cross!

The football flew between the two Manchester United centre-backs, like a bird flying out of the net, and was freed!

"Wonderful Biography!"

The ESPN commentator exclaimed: "When Manchester United's two centre-backs were about to form a trap, Chen wisely crossed the football to the middle, and Cesc Fabregas came up!" ”

"Burst!"

The Spaniard did not choose to stop the ball, but directly chose to shoot!

The soccer ball flew like a cannonball towards the top left of the goal!

Van der Sar yelled and swooped towards the football!

But the speed of the football was too fast, and as soon as he flew up, the football flew over his upper right!

The next moment, the football flew off the field from above the crossbar!

"The ball is high!"

The Swedish national television commentator exclaimed: "Cesc Fabregas missed the goal! Missed the chance to open the scoring! ”

Sky Sports commentator Bill regretted: "Cesc Fabregas didn't choose to push, but chose to shoot with more power, but he didn't control the ball well, and the ball flew straight off the crossbar......

The CNN commentator was surprised and said: "This is a shot that is only a dozen meters away from the goal, and Fabregas actually hit it high?" ”

The NHK commentator exclaimed: "Arsenal's tactics were very reasonable this time, they pressed high and forced Ferdinand to make mistakes, and Chen Fan controlled the football at his feet.

We have to praise Vidic, his defensive positioning is very good, he alone formed a solid wall and did not give Chen Fan a shooting route and space.

Nemanja Vidic's world-class defensive positioning gave Rio Ferdinand time to chase back, and Chen Fan created a good chance for Cesc Fabregas to score with a cross in the situation.

But Cesc Fabregas was not at his best, playing the ball high from a distance of about 10 metres from goal, and Arsenal missed the best chance to score......

When the broadcast seat was regretful, a huge exclamation of "boom" sounded in the stands.

Gunners fans who came from afar were blindfolded in regret, and then burst into applause as a sign of encouragement.

Cesc Fabregas covered his mouth and watched the ball fly off the pitch in disbelief, he felt so good before he shot and he was confident that it would get into the United goal.

However, he hit high......

Why is that?

Is it because you haven't gotten into the groove yet, or because you didn't get a good night's rest last night?

Vidic shouted at his partner in fear: "Be decisive with the ball!" ”

Ferdinand, who had almost made a big mistake, nodded silently, and Vidic wanted to say a few more words, but he held back.

The game soon restarted, with United absorbing the lessons learned and quickly moving football to midfield.

Cesc Fabregas' shot did not score, but it took the pressure off the Arsenal players and restored their confidence.

Arsenal, who had regained their confidence, battled fiercely with Manchester United in midfield, exchanging possession and screaming on the turf from time to time.

It can be seen how fierce the two sides are fighting.

Arsenal reversed their passivity in the opening period, much to the relief of London's journalists.

This is the Gunners, even if they play away from home, they can't fall too far behind on the field.

As time went on, Manchester United's players got better and better, and they frequently created killing opportunities.

In the 21st minute of the first half, Manchester United won a free kick in front of the goal. Scholes kicked the football into the Arsenal penalty area, Berbatov grabbed the point, a lion shook his head, and the ball was deflected out of the goal!

Three minutes later, United were back in the ascendancy, Nani combined with Wayne Rooney on the left and the Portuguese fired a low shot from the left side of the box!

Almunia bravely saved the football from the bottom line, making Arsenal break out in a cold sweat.

In the 30th minute, Evra assisted on the side, a 45-degree cross, Koscielny pushed the football directly out of the penalty area, and Rooney outside the box scrambled the football down and crossed it horizontally.

Scholes shoots from distance and the ball goes straight to the right side of the goal!

Almunia jumped to his feet, touched the ball with his left hand, and the ball changed direction slightly and continued to move forward!

Just as the United fans were ready to cheer and celebrate, "Pong! ......" There was a loud bang, and the football hit the post and flew out of the bottom line!

ESPN exclaimed: "United played with momentum, launched a series of dangerous attacks, and Scholes' long-range shot almost broke the deadlock! ”

"Most of Arsenal's players are obviously out of shape, goalkeeper Almunia is the most consistent player, if it wasn't for his high pick-up and brave saves, their goal would have been broken long ago!"

The game was once again in the hands of Manchester United, and the London reporters looked ugly, and the local reporters were both happy and disappointed.

They were happy that United were in control of the tempo on the pitch, but unfortunately they had yet to score and did not break the deadlock.

Arsenal's overall performance was not good, Chen Fan did not have many opportunities to perform, and once he got the ball, several Manchester United players immediately formed an encirclement.

In the 35th minute of the first half, Chen Fan stole the football from the feet of Scholes with his personal ability in the midfield, and the three Manchester United players immediately surrounded him, not giving him a chance to accelerate at all.

"Smack! ……”

Chen Fan chose to pass the ball again, and with a straight kick, the football passed past Vidic and flew towards the hinterland of Manchester United!

Van Persie started at high speed, and the air at Old Trafford was tense!
