Chapter 388: Vardy, a-stirring stick
Manchester United scored, scored in the pinnacle duel with Arsenal and scored in a way that no one could have imagined.
Ferguson stood on the sidelines, with a smug expression on his face, and his eyes were full of banter when he looked at Wenger.
I didn't expect Vardy to also practice his ability to grab points, right?
Does it taste good to be yin?
In fact, Arsene Wenger is really hurt inside.
Vardy had never been seen snatching a goal in the box, at most it was just a leak, which made Wenger always think that the young Vardy did not have the ability to do so.
Grabbing points is not like other skills, which can be practiced casually, and grabbing points requires a very keen sense of smell, observation and even spirituality.
In the last game, Vardy still didn't go into the box, who would have thought that this game would actually be able to grab a point in the penalty area!
If Arsene Wenger had known that Vardy had the ability to steal points, he would never have been so negligent and careless, even if he couldn't prevent it.
Away from home, and Manchester United still has the most terrifying counter-attacking efficiency in the whole of European football, the next game is not easy to play!
Wenger couldn't help but sigh.
But it can't be helped, being so weak is tantamount to admitting defeat, and there is no such word in Wenger's dictionary.
So after the game started, Arsenal regrouped and launched a more aggressive attack on Manchester United.
If Arsenal are single-mindedly attacking, there are really few teams that can stop it, and Arsenal's attacking firepower is one of the best in world football.
United don't have to go straight ahead, they are the ones who are leading anyway, now they just need to retract their defence and survive the crazy period after Arsenal conceded the goal, and they can still wait for an opportunity to counter-attack.
However, it is clear that Arsenal are really desperate, Manchester United's defensive pressure is very high, and in just a few minutes, they have been pressed unpresentably.
In the 31st minute of the first half, Xiaofa suddenly connected two people in the middle, and shot coldly at the edge of the penalty area, and the ball flew out of the bottom line by grazing the post, shocking everyone in Manchester United in a cold sweat;
In the 33rd minute, Henry received a cross from Rosicky and grabbed the point with a header, Ferdinand was not able to keep up, but unfortunately Henry's header was too straight and was directly confiscated by Van der Sar;
In the 34th minute, Arsenal made a comeback, and the teenager Van Persie pulled the side to the left, but suddenly dribbled horizontally and pulled a big arc, and in the exclamation of everyone, the ball smashed directly on the left post.
Nemanja Vidic hurried to clear the ball, but his back felt cold, and the Gunners' attack made United a little overwhelmed.
No way, Carrick is good at playmaking, and his defensive ability is not as good as a defensive midfielder after all, and Fletcher, who started the game, was a little timid today, which is why Manchester United cannot form a barrier in midfield.
Anyway, there is no way to fight back at this time, so let's be more active in defense.
Vardy moved back slightly, standing between Fletcher and Carrick, even if he didn't have any defensive ability, such a big living man here can always add a little bit of defensive width!
What's more, Jamie Vardy's brutal rush is not pretty, but can really contribute defensive strength in midfield.
Even if Vardy just uses his speed to rush, it is enough for Arsenal to be afraid, you know, there have been many times before because of Vardy's sudden retreat to defense, which directly disrupted the opponent's offensive organization.
Vardy looked at Gilberto Silva and smiled.
That's you!
Gilberto Silva had a very unpleasant fight with Vardy against Arsenal last season, so this time, there is no need to show mercy.
Vardy swam directly around Gilberto Silva, just a few metres away.
As soon as Gilberto Silva got the ball, Vardy ran over it like a bulldozer, as if he was going to bulldoze Gilberto Silva straight away.
Vardy's impact is not for fun, the unparalleled explosiveness makes his momentum reach a very terrifying level, and if it really hits Gilberto Silva, I'm afraid it will be almost the same if it doesn't fall apart.
Gilberto Silva really felt like a dog at this time, Vardy was like a hungry wolf around, as long as he got the ball, he pounced on him with a snort, too Nima was scary!
If it were any other defender, Gilberto Silva wouldn't be scared at all, but Jamie Vardy would be a different story.
Even if Vardy doesn't foul himself and only hits himself, he probably can't stand it.
So Gilberto Silva was cautious, he didn't dare to be careless at all, even if he received the ball, he was a touch away, and he didn't dare to stop the ball at all, for fear that Vardy would give him a hard blow.
But Rao is like this, his body has been made miserable by Vardy, even if he avoided Vardy, he was hit enough by Vardy.
No, this time the ball was targeted by Vardy again, he didn't stop the ball, and passed it directly, but he was still hit by Vardy, who didn't have time to brake, and his lower abdomen was hurt by Vardy.
Struggling to get to his feet, Gilberto Silva felt that he had to find a way, otherwise he wouldn't know if he would make it out alive.
"Mr. referee, Vardy's defensive moves are so brutal and reckless, even though I have passed the ball out, but he continues to bump into me, shouldn't such a barbaric move send him off?"
That's right, Gilberto Silva just went to the referee to make a small report.
The referee took a look at Gilberto Silva and saw that he really wasn't pretending, and it seemed that Vardy had indeed gone a little too far.
So the referee walked up to Jamie Vardy and warned him.
But don't look at Vardy in front of the referee to say that he must be obedient, but when he turned his head, he still went his own way, and continued to kiss me and Gilberto Silva, and almost didn't break Gilberto Silva.
Of course, Vardy's brutal charge must have had an effect, Gilberto Silva, who was originally both offensive and defensive, is about to become invisible, and without a big general, how can Arsenal's attack be smooth?
Wenger looked at the situation on the field, and he couldn't use his energy, and he was really depressed.
Trevardi is a-stirring stick!
As a striker, it's just that you can score goals, but you can also defend in the midfield, so you still have to be shameless?
Don't look at Vardy as a reckless man in midfield, with no defensive skills at all, but if you underestimate Vardy because of this, then Vardy can tell you who is an idiot with the results.
Countless games have proven that Jamie Vardy's seemingly reckless collision and defensive appearance is a nightmare for technical teams in midfield.
And I don't know why, such reckless actions rarely foul, it's just the referee's own son!
Unbeknownst to Arsene Wenger, the savage charge itself has the effect of reducing foul charges.
As the first half drew to a close, Arsenal's attacking momentum was still strong, but it was only superficial, and the real threat to United was actually worse than when they had just conceded.
Seeing that Gilberto Silva has been taught to be a man by himself and doesn't even dare to take the ball, Vardy naturally has no need to continue to stare at him and waste time, it is better to change the target to grab the ball and take advantage of the last time to counterattack.
So, Vardy turned the gun around again and set his sights on Xiaofa.
Xiao Fa, who was organizing an attack with the ball, didn't come and felt a chill in his back, and the hairs on his body stood up, as if he was being targeted by a beast.
Before he could figure out what was going on, the sudden surge of force from his side made him unable to stabilize his center of gravity at all, and he fell directly to the ground.
Vardy didn't expect to take down Xiaofa so easily, he knew this, would it be good for him to start Xiaofa earlier?
In fact, because of his thin body, Xiaofa really suffered a lot in confrontation, which could never be avoided.
Fortunately, Xiaofa plays the front midfielder more and takes the ball in the opponent's half, even if he loses the ball due to a mistake in the confrontation, the impact is usually not too big.
But later when he was at Chelsea, when Xiaofa retreated to play the back of the organization, this shortcoming was infinitely magnified.
Although his ability to get rid of the spot is excellent, as long as there is more physical contact, there is a good chance that Xiaofa will make a mistake and then directly threaten the goal.
Jamie Vardy didn't have time to worry about Cesc Fabregas, pulling the ball past the ball and heading towards Arsenal's goal after Jr. fell, promising to counter-attack before half-time.
But before he could rush a few steps away, the referee's whistle sounded in a hurry.
Vardy stopped, looked around, and pretended to be dazed, but in fact he knew that the referee had definitely awarded him a foul.
Sure enough, the referee pointed to the location of the incident and awarded Arsenal a free-kick.
But what Vardy didn't expect was that the referee walked up to him again and gave him a yellow card.
Vardy spread his palms, expressed his helplessness, and reasoned with the referee.
In fact, Vardy knew that the savage charge trait itself only had the effect of reducing the foul being admonished, but it could not be effective every time, and it was clear that this time there was an extremely rare chance of a foul.
It's just that the referee awarded a foul that Vardy didn't expect.
Perhaps it was Gilberto Silva's complaint just now that made the referee also target Vardy!
Regardless, Vardy was a surprise to have made Arsenal's offensive messy and brutal to the occasion, and now he has only been judged for a foul!
At the end of the first half, United returned to the dressing room with a 1-0 lead over Arsenal.
In the dressing room, Ferguson looked at Vardy as he was playing with his team-mates and felt a sense of relief.
Without Jamie Vardy, perhaps Manchester United would have been on par with Arsenal, and even with the Gunners' frantic attack, Manchester United would have fallen behind.
But it is Vardy's presence that allows Manchester United to be so calm.
Scoring goals to give his team the lead, and running defensively at all costs to play the role of a-stirring stick, as a striker, Jamie Vardy can make the best contribution to United at both ends of the pitch, and he can't do more!
