Watching the ball finally be blocked by the crossbar, Henry also shook his head regretfully.

As he ran back, Rosicky gave Henry a thumbs up.

"The sword is not old, Thierry. What a beautiful shot! Rosicky exclaimed sincerely.

"But I wasn't very lucky." Henry smiled faintly, but his face was full of strong confidence.

"Hey, you're fat and you're gasping." Rosicky rolled his eyes, and then smiled and boasted to himself, "If you want me to say, it's better for me to pass the ball in place, ha, such a comfortable pass, it doesn't make you pause, it's hard for you to enjoy it in the United States, right?" ”

"......" Henry shook his head speechlessly, smiled, and said, "Come again." It's been a long time since we've played against a Jazz team, hey, let's beat the Reds to the ground again! ”

Looking at Henry with a bright and confident smile, Rosicky seemed to have returned to the past, remembering the glorious Arsenal in the past, and nodded involuntarily.

The game soon restarted.

In fact, without being reminded by manager Alex Ferguson, the Manchester United players who escaped the catastrophe finally put away their contempt. Arsenal's results have been tepid in recent seasons and have never had the upper hand in several meetings with Manchester United. Before this game, the media's remarks were also one-sidedly optimistic about themselves, which also made the whole Manchester United team inevitably have a trace of underestimation of the opponent.

But the dull and loud "bang~" sound of the doorpost in this life is a wake-up call for them. Even if the opponent has declined, after all, it was once the top team in the Premier League, and the tiger is still a tiger without teeth, and it can still give the enemy fatal damage.

Van der Sar tossed the ball to defender Rio Ferdinand, the United captain handed the ball to Hargreaves in midfield, and the England international saw that there was no good chance and handed it to Nani who was pulled down the wing.

Arsenal and Manchester United, old rivals, have been fighting with each other for so many years, and they know each other well. Arsenal are characterised by their quick passing and receiving of the ball and fluid ground coordination, a style of technical flow that is unique in the Premier League. Manchester United can be regarded as a typical representative of England's traditional style of play, but with the departure of Beckham, the loss of Xiaobei's accurate long pass, Manchester United's style of play is also changing year by year. They still maintain the traditional style of play, but they pay more attention to the breakthrough of the two wings, often using the sharp breakthroughs of the two wings, or crosses, or inwards, so as to play the football into the penalty area and pose a threat to the opponent.

This style of play can be described as invincible in counterattacks, but in positional warfare, it is difficult to break through the opponent's defense line for a while by focusing on the side of play, especially when the opponent is waiting for him. Therefore, Manchester United did not rush forward for a while, but patiently fell in the middle and back, slowly looking for opportunities.

'Manchester United played smartly, that's the way they've always played. If you have the opportunity, you will move forward quickly, and if you don't have the opportunity, you will slowly fall to your feet, patiently looking for the fighter. Mortensen exclaimed on the commentary bench, "Arsenal is not an underdog, even if many of the team's main players are absent now, but their strength should not be underestimated. So Sir Alex Ferguson's team was thinking the right way, slowly looking for opportunities to take the pace of the game into their own hands. Ha, if you rush and attack the opponent desperately, of course, this is not without the possibility of success, but if it is Arsenal who scores first, then the next game, Manchester United will not be easy to play. ”

Manchester United's deliberately slowing down the pace of the game made the home team Arsenal very uncomfortable, but there was no good solution. There is often only a thin line between the master's moves, Manchester United does not play against you, but instead uses their own accustomed style of play and rhythm to slowly consume you, and you can't do anything about them.

That's where Ferguson excelled. Today's Arsenal team is more of a group of young players, and compared to Manchester United's squad, the experience and experience are much worse. That's all they have to do with that, kill slowly, build up advantages bit by bit, and then eventually turn those advantages into factors that can affect the situation of the game.

Time passed quickly, and with Manchester United's deliberate control, the game went tepid into the seventeenth minute of the first half. During this time, both sides had several cautious attacks, but they were not very effective. Both teams are careful to protect their backlines and don't give their opponents too many opportunities to take advantage of.

However, the fans of the two teams in the stands watched a little drowsy, and some fans even felt that this was not like a fierce national derby, but like a dull drama.

The game seemed to be in a balanced stalemate. However, the seemingly balanced scene, in fact, the rhythm of the game gradually fell into the hands of Manchester United. After all, this "impasse" was deliberately created by them.

And in the 23rd minute of the first half, Manchester United finally found a good opportunity to attack in such a flat game.

When the football passed to Nani on the right side again, the Portuguese did not choose to pass the football back as usual, he just made a return pass, which caused Gibbs, who was pressing forward, to have an unstable center of gravity, but he cleverly flicked the ball horizontally, shook Gibbs, and quickly rushed along the wing.

"Ha, nice break! The teenager Nani completely deceived Gibbs, and the Portuguese quickly rushed towards the bottom line with the money! Twenty minutes before the game, in addition to Henry's wonderful long-distance hanging goal, Mortensen also explained that there was no fun, and at this moment he saw Manchester United suddenly speed up the pace, and suddenly came to his senses, and his mouth was excited and fast.

Nani's breakthrough caught Arsenal off guard. Left wing-back Klich was quick to meet him, but Nani didn't intend to dwell on him, and on the run he pushed the ball into the middle, and the follow-up Fletcher was smart enough to push the ball back into Nani's path.

"Pretty two-over-one!"

The commentators in the commentary booth and the away fans in the stands clapped their hands and chanted.

The ball was back at Nani's feet, and Klich, the last obstacle on the right flank, was left behind, allowing Nani to gallop freely. Portugal quickly descended to the bottom line and slotted the ball into the box with his right foot before Wilshire could catch up.

United's attacking discussion was simple, straightforward but effective. Nani's burst down the flanks disrupted Arsenal's defence, Rooney and Owen followed up the middle to attract the attention of the Gunners' defenders, and with Hargreaves and Fletcher getting in at the right time, Arsenal's defence was somewhat stretched.

The ball quickly arced across the penalty area. Koscielny leaned on Rooney and jumped to push the ball out of the box, but when he jumped up, he realized that he couldn't reach the height of the ball.

"Rise to the top!"

Koscielny flashed such a thought in a cold sweat, but seeing that Rooney did not jump and fight for the top, but was pressed in front of him, which made him feel slightly relieved. But when he turned his head to look back, cold sweat suddenly flowed.

The ball slashed across the penalty area and over Koscielny's head and flew straight to the right side of the box, where the unmarked Valencia appeared at the right time.

"The ball went around in the box, no one grabbed it and it ended up at the feet of Valencia. Ha, lift your feet, he's going to shoot......"

At the same time as Mortensen screamed, on the field, Valencia, who was undisturbed, had already made a shot, Squeiraci did not hesitate to drop Owen, and flew to the shovel in the run, but he didn't expect Valencia to turn the shot into a buckle, avoid Squeerage, and then rub the ball to the middle with the outside instep.

Naturally, Owen didn't waste such a great opportunity to meet the ball with a low shot, and the football scurried towards the goal with the turf against it. Lehmann made a quick save, but the shot was too close to the goal, and the German goalkeeper was unable to recover, and the ball slipped under his armpit and into the goal.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！ GOAL！ The ball is in! The ball is in! The ball is in! In the twenty-fifth minute of the first half, Michael, the former golden boy of England. Owen opens the scoring for Manchester United! 1:0, the away team Manchester United leads by one goal! ”

"Nice fit, nice goal! Nice shot! ”

"Manchester United's attack was simple and direct, but it was incredibly effective. The sudden increase in tempo made Arsenal a little uncomfortable, and by the time they could react, United's attack had hit their box. I have to say that Valencia's dunk was wonderful, and of course, Michael's shot was also calm! ”

"Manchester United lead! Arsenal will not be able to play well in the next game, and now the advantage on the field has tilted towards Manchester United! ”

The commentators on the commentary bench stood up and shouted loudly as if they had been beaten with chicken blood at the moment when the football entered the net. These commentators don't care whose home stadium it is, their job is to be unbiased and cheer for whoever plays well and scores a good goal!

In the hazy drizzle, there was silence in the stands at the Emirates Stadium, and the Gunners fans closed their eyes in pain and hugged their heads in frustration.

The away fans' stands, which were only two or three thousand, were full of jubilation, and there was nothing more refreshing and happy than hitting the opponent with a goal at the opponent's home stadium. Tens of thousands of Arsenal fans were completely overwhelmed by the cheers and chants of their opponents, but now they are happy to rub a handful of salt on the wounds of their opponents, and the Red Devils fans who are singing and dancing have overwhelmingly outnumbered Gunners fans in terms of numbers.

On the sidelines, Arsenal's bench was filled with sighs of regret and loss. Wenger sat in his seat, not noisy, but Tie Qing's expression still revealed his anger at the moment.

He glanced sideways not far away, and his old rival Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson raised his arms excitedly at the moment, and his face was even more rosy because of his excitement. He turned around and waved in the direction of the visiting fans, signaling for a little more violent. The visiting fans were also very cooperative with the legendary manager, and waves of cheers and applause raged even more violently over the Emirates Stadium.

"Humph!"

Professor Wenger coldly withdrew his gaze, he knew very well that his old opponent was embarrassing him, his fists were clenched tightly, and his arms hidden under the straight suit were bursting out.

"It's still early before the end of the game, it's hard to say who will win and who will lose!"
