The game had just begun, and the players of both teams were already soaking wet, the rain was falling from the sky, and each player's head and face were covered with water droplets. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's really bad weather, and it's not pleasant to play in such bad weather, because for any team, their performance will be greatly affected and accidents will be more likely.

Comparatively, Arsenal have been more affected. They are a team in the Premier League that is recognised as a technical team, good at short passing and fast progress, but now the field is slippery and the rain also affects the vision, and their fast passes are difficult to play, because the field is too slippery, the force is not easy to control, and the pass is easy to make mistakes.

Arsenal got the kick-off, fell a few feet in the backfield, Qin Shou got the football, observed it, and then directly got up to find Ozil who was inserted in front of the side. It's just that the moment the football went out, Qin Shou felt that there was something wrong with the force of the pass.

Sure enough, the ball flew to the left flank, but when it fell, it fell behind Mesut Ozil. Mesut Ozil was still running forward and before he could turn back, Marouane Fellaini rushed in and slotted the ball halfway through.

Such a mistake Qin Shou rarely occurs, and not more than once, compared to Qin Shou taking into account the resistance of the rain, deliberately increased the passing force, the football did pass to the front line of his teammates, but it was difficult for teammates to get the ball, after the football landed, after bouncing the ground, it was easy to overtake the front at a faster speed, which increased the difficulty of teammates to get the ball.

Not only Qin Shou, other Arsenal players also often make mistakes in passing and receiving, there is no way, such weather and environment are really not suitable for playing the fast passing cooperation that Arsenal is good at, Qin Shou can only reduce long passes, and at the same time make the distance between teammates more compact, so as to support each other and reduce passing errors.

Of course, Manchester United have been affected by the same situation and have often made mistakes, but they have a different tactical style of play from Arsenal and have adapted quickly, and their style of play has gradually become simple and direct, which is to pass the ball to the wings, then use the two wings to start the ball, and then the strikers rush into the box to grab points.

At this stage, their style of play has not caused much trouble for Arsenal for the time being, although it has caused a lot of confusion for Arsenal's back line, but there are also a lot of restrictions, so there are not many threatening shots on goal.

The situation was deadlocked.

Manchester United started the ball from the flanks one by one, while Arsenal kept the ball at their feet, forming small groups in the area and slowly moving forward. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, and neither has been able to create absolute opportunities for the time being.

"Today's rain has had a great impact on players on both sides, and it seems that there will probably not be too many goals in this game."

'The weather factor did have to be taken into account, and both teams played more cautiously.

"I thought this national derby would be hot from the start, but this damn rain has put both sides in a difficult situation...... No one dares to exert too much force, otherwise it will definitely be a dog eating! ”

As the last commentator said, the game has been forced to stalemate for nearly 20 minutes, the players on the field are not only soaked, but also full of grass clippings and mud on their jerseys and pants, many people have slipped and fallen more than once because of the slipping soles of their feet, and the scenes of "dogs eating" are endless.

Arsene Wenger got up and stood on the sidelines, letting the rain drip on him.

The "chaos" of the game made him frown, although no goals have been scored so far, but such bad game weather made his pre-game arrangements almost useless. Every manager would love to see a game play according to his script, but now, the development of the game is completely different from his script, and this feeling of being out of his control is really frustrating.

But Arsene Wenger can't do anything else, there are always a lot of surprises in football, like the weather at the moment, a few days ago, who knew it would rain hard today? The devil knows exactly where the game will go!

Compared to Arsene Wenger's silence, the new Manchester United manager David Moyes is more combative, this is his first "national derby" since taking over as the Red Devils' manager, so he is more desperate to win against the other side to secure his position. Arsenal and Manchester United have been fighting each other for more than ten years, and this kind of "derby" has also been given more meaning, Manchester United fans are happy to see the Gunners planted in their hands, so as long as he can lead the team to win the game, then it will definitely win the hearts of many fans, and the pressure on his body will be greatly reduced.

"Run! Run! Run more actively! ”

"Vane, you've got to expand your run!"

"Pass! Pass! ”

"Step up your long-range shot!"

Moyes kept gesturing on the sidelines, yelling at the stadium from time to time. The raindrops fell on his head, and his clothes set off his exuberant fighting spirit even more.

Moyes's action-packed action also infected the Manchester United fans at the scene, and the home fans wearing raincoats and umbrellas followed the manager, roaring loudly and cheering loudly for their team.

However, all this did not make the Manchester United players on the pitch "cheer up", this is a football game, not a scene from a novel or a movie, if only shouting and cheering can bring a goal, then this game does not need to be played, just give the victory to Manchester United.

The weather and the pitch were terrible and the United players were working hard but still struggled to create dangerous chances.

The same can be said for Arsenal, who try to make short passes and push too slowly, putting little pressure on the United defence. Qin Shou and others tried to force a breakthrough a few times, but the effect was also not good, and later, they had no choice but to play the football on the side like Manchester United, and then make a bottom cross, and the striker in the penalty area went to grab a point to shoot.

Both teams said they couldn't do anything about the situation, and now it's as if they were fighting their luck to see who could score first in such difficult conditions.

The situation on the pitch quickly turned into a football flying, either in the Arsenal penalty area or in the Manchester United penalty area, and then you went back and forth in the penalty area, and it was chaotic.

This continued until the 43rd minute of the first half, when the first goal of the game was finally scored.

On the road of competing for character and luck, it is clear that Arsenal at this time has gone further than Manchester United.

Cazorla ran to the bottom line with the ball and hoisted the ball directly into the penalty area. In fact, such a move has been repeated countless times by both Arsenal and Manchester United, and it has not worked very well. Because Arsenal and Manchester United are attacking in this way, there are a lot of defenders in the box, and under normal circumstances, it is difficult for strikers to take advantage of the long-legged box.

However, neither team has a very good offensive method, so they can only carry out such a "stupid method" to the end.

Arsenal was lucky enough this time, Cazorla's pass was to find Giroud in front of him, no way, Giroud is tall, and he is the only one in the Gunners team who can be used as a lighthouse, if you don't look for him, do you want to find Sanchez?

Olivier Giroud jumped up for the top and United centre-backs Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand caught him in check, with Vidic jumping up and Rio Ferdinand disrupting underneath him. These two centre-backs can be said to be the anchor of Manchester United's backline, and Arsenal's bottom-line crosses have done nothing, and they have basically been stifled by their combination.

This time, however, the defensively solid Vidic made a mistake when he grabbed Giroud and tried to clear the ball first, only to get his head off the top of the ball, but the ball slipped over his head.

Not to mention that he was stunned at this moment, even Giroud beside him was stunned. By the time he could react, the opportunity was fleeting and the ball slid past him.

Cazorla's cross...... Nemanja Vidic clears the ball with a header...... Oh my God, he's on the top! He made a mistake in his clearance! ”

"Olivier Giroud! God, Giroud froze, he also rose to the top and the ball slid in front of him......"

This change made everyone stunned, and there was even more chaos in the forbidden area.

The little man Sanchez actually has no advantage in such a positional battle, but this time, the clever and agile he took advantage of the melee in the penalty area, and the football quickly fell to the back point, and no one could touch it, but Sanchez was clever in the chaos, and kicked the football with a slippery tackle action.

The ball changed direction in an instant, and at such a close distance, De Gea couldn't react at all, and could only watch as the ball was shoveled into the goal.

0:1！

Arsenal took the lead and the stalemate was broken.

“goooooooooooooooal！ The ball is in! The goal was scored by Alexis. Alexis Sanchez, the small Chilean striker, scored a goal with an incredible tackle in the long man penalty area! 1:0！ Arsenal are ahead! ”

"It was an unexpected but expected goal! The goal was inevitable, but no one expected that the scorer would be Sanchez, who had almost disappeared in the previous attack - no way, he was not very tall and did not have much advantage in the battle for the header......"

'Towards the end of the first half, Alexis Alexis scored a goal for Arsenal and it wasn't good news for Manchester United. They are likely to go into half-time with the score behind. ”

The unforeseen goal silenced Old Trafford, and after a while, the more than 1,000 Arsenal fans cheered with excitement.

Arsene Wenger clapped his hands lightly on the sidelines, and he was a little surprised by the sudden lead, but it's always good to score goals, and in such bad weather, the leader has the advantage. He breathed a sigh of relief, then sat back in the dugout.
