Arsenal's goal came from the hard work of their players up front, with United making a mistake in the return of the ball from midfield, when Bendtner intercepted Carrick's return pass to Vidic, and then he didn't turn and handed it to Van Persie before turning and running towards the box.

At this time, Ferdinand's thinking was wrong, he was about to turn around and jam Bendtner's running route, but he saw Vidic pressing, so he hesitated for a few tenths of a second, and then turned his head to force Van Persie.

But within a few tenths of a second of his hesitation, Van Persie had lifted his left foot and fired a powerful shot into the back of the net.

Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic stared at the ball in the net with their backs crossed, while Carrick kept the back of his head, clearly remorseful.

However, no matter how much regret and regret are useless, the two teams are back on the same running line, and the score is still 1:1.

It was clear that the fans of both clubs would not be happy with the first-half scoreline, with Manchester United at home and their fans naturally demanding more, while Arsenal were in control in the second half of the first half, and their fans were clearly struggling to settle for a draw.

Even the football commentators outside the stadium are commenting endlessly, speculating about what adjustments the two managers will make in the second half, especially Alex Ferguson, who is the best at finding the opponent's flaws in the chaos of the battle, so as to give the opponent a fatal blow, and in the past ten or twenty years, he has changed the classic case of the team, the most famous of course belongs to the shocking comeback of the Treble that season, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Sheringham. The two veterans who were substituted in the last 12 minutes joined forces to miraculously pull back the Champions League trophy that originally belonged to Bayern, which can be called the pinnacle of substitutions on the football field.

However, when the two teams appeared in front of the fans in the second half, everyone felt sincere disappointment, because neither Wenger nor Ferguson made any changes to the formation on the field, except for Wenger who replaced Bendtner with Descartes step by step, the two teams played exactly the same personnel as in the first half.

At this time, of course, there will be so-called "experts" outside the field to start a discussion:

'It's unbelievable that United fell in the first half and Ferguson didn't make any changes to the formation and personnel. Did he have no hope for this match at all? ”

"Actually, I think Manchester United should replace Fletcher at this point. Bringing on Nani and adding a midfield point of possession, you can see how they played in the final stages of the first half, and they struggled to even get through midfield. “

"Ferguson was clearly too stubborn. The success of the past two seasons has made him forget what kind of opponent Arsenal are. If he doesn't take the initiative to make changes. Manchester United will certainly be in trouble in the second half. ”

……

At this time, these "experts" seem to have surpassed Lord Fu's experience in the rivers and lakes for more than ten or twenty years, and have transformed into "beasts" one by one. It seems that if the old man does not make changes as they say, Manchester United will already have a lot of luck in this game.

But after ten minutes of the game, all the "bricks and beasts" shut up, because Manchester United was still the same people on the pitch, but once again slowly gained the upper hand.

Yes, you read that right, United didn't make any substitutions or change formations, but they have regained the advantage.

To put it simply, Ferguson didn't do any magic, the only adjustment he made in midfield was to also strengthen the running and counter-attacking of the players in the front, Arsenal used unstructured high pressing, and Manchester United retaliated with a for a tooth.

Speaking of counter-robbery, Manchester United's players are actually more experienced than Arsenal, in the past few seasons or even more than ten years, Arsenal has never had the concept of front-court defense in the hands of Wenger, but in Manchester United, whether it is Giggs, Scholes, or even Beckham and Rooney, they have been instilled with the concept of defensive priority by Lord Fergus, Beckham was seamlessly transformed into a back after going to Real Madrid, and Rooney often appears on his own penalty line or even in the penalty area, which is proof, so when it comes to high pressing, Ferguson is actually better than Wenger.

It's just that Ferguson, like Arsene Wenger, has never defined this behavior as a tactic, we have said before that his off-ball running system is aimed at attacking, so in fact, Ferguson still defines the function of the midfielder to attack, and the defense is just an additional addition to completing his own work, he is not like Barcelona's Pep Guardiola, who clearly put forward the concept of building the defense line outside the opponent's penalty area, so Manchester United's "high pressing" is as unstructured as Arsenal.

The two teams, which also did not regard high defense as a tactical system, invariably used high defense in the matchup, and the result was, of course, the more experienced one gaining the upper hand.

In Manchester United's frontcourt, whether it is Fletcher or Park Ji-sung, they are both active and diligent types, and the two of them cover a considerable area, at least one-third more than Fabregas, Nasri and others, so when the two teams also launch counter-attacks in the front, Manchester United naturally brings more pressure than Arsenal.

In this case, it is natural for Manchester United to gradually regain their disadvantage on the field, and even gain the upper hand step by step.

It's just that I pity those "brick families" and "beasts", as soon as they finished talking about their worries, they turned around and were slapped in the face by Lord Fu, and now they don't dare to speak with their heads bored.

In fact, this situation is not difficult to understand, because Manchester United and Arsenal are really too familiar with each other, to be realistic, Evra may not remember what his mother's birthday is, but he will remember that Walcott's 100m speed is 9.7 seconds, and Almunia may not know what his father's height is, but he can definitely tell whether Ryan Giggs likes to shoot the penalty to the right or left.

When the two teams are already familiar with this, any changes between them are actually expected by the other side, and Ferguson still has Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes in his hands, but even with these two veterans. Arsene Wenger doesn't necessarily have no way to crack it, the game has reached this level, and the competition between the two sides is no longer tactics and resourcefulness, but the hard power and state of the players.

Good state, such as the massacre in August 2011, Manchester United beat Wenger's arsenal with 8:2, even Jesus can't stop it, the state is not good, 0:0, 1:1 is also the norm, the two teams are in a match. Manchester United won 84, drew 46 and lost 79. No one can say that they have the upper hand.

It's like two armies fighting each other, if the two armies know each other, they have the same number of people and the same good tactics. Then there is actually no so-called "trickery" between them. The rest is a real thing. Whoever can't withstand it first will be the first to collapse.

In military terms, this is called an upright division.

Battle of Waterloo. Napoleon and the coalition were of equal strength and feared each other, so the lame dwarf had to make some tricks and sent Grouchy to hunt down Blücher and split his troops into two halves, but when he and Wellington faced off on the battlefield, his Grouchy division did not appear on the battlefield, but the remnants of Blucher's defeated generals suddenly came out from behind, and finally the lame dwarf hated Waterloo, and France dreamed of Belgium.

According to the analysis of later scholars, if Napoleon's army had had been more than 33,000 Grouchy soldiers at that time, perhaps before Blücher's army arrived on the battlefield, they would have broken through Wellington's army and established the victory of the battle.

Because the total number of troops invested by both sides on the Belgian battlefield at that time was only 140,000, the famous Battle of Waterloo lasted only 12 hours.

Even an invincible star like Napoleon, because of the tricks did not play well, as a result of a second-rate general like Wellington ended the dream of dominating Europe, such as Arsenal and Manchester United such evenly matched opponents, of course, there will be no superfluous moves, unless the two sides have absolute certainty, otherwise this duel will eventually return to the dignified competition of hard power.

The so-called hard power, of course, is the alignment of the players on both sides, the adjustment of the head coach in tactical details, the flash of inspiration of the star players, and even uncertain factors such as luck, but it is definitely not the "make changes" in the mouths of those "brick beasts".

It's easy to make changes, but what kind of changes are useful? That's the problem.

Ferguson chose to respond to all changes with the same, although his players made mistakes in the first half, but the problem was not the state of the players, but the gap in tactical details, so he did not adjust the players in the second half, nor did he adjust the formation, he just strengthened the pressing in the front, and easily cracked the tricks that the Arsenal players spontaneously used.

Next, it's time to watch the performances of the stars of both teams.

If you want to say why Arsenal's players have sold better than Manchester United in recent years, we have to praise Professor Wenger's finishing touch, under his hands Fabregas, Adebayo, Nasri, Descartes and others have become the sweet buns in the transfer market, and have been repeatedly scrambled by various giants, and on the other hand, in their opponent Manchester United, except for Rooney and Vidic, it is estimated that no other giants will be interested in the remaining players, Giggs and Scholes and others will definitely not be able to pry, Park Ji-sung and Anderson? After all the European giants, they are estimated to only be able to play at Manchester United.

So in terms of player quality, Wenger took a temporary lead 1:0.

However, in terms of overall strength, there is still a certain gap between Wenger and Ferguson. Ferguson laid down a no-ball running system for Manchester United, although there were some setbacks and detours in the middle, but he finally used this system to turn Manchester United into a rock-like army, like the NBA Spurs, Manchester United team, don't care who comes and who goes, as long as this system is still there, they are always the top teams in their respective leagues; On the other hand, Wenger, his Arsenal has been dazzling, but so far, no one has been able to say what system Wenger's tactics belong to, Tiki-Taka? Possession tactics? Defensive counterattack? All in one? Please, 442 is just a formation, not a tactic.

The lack of a clear tactical concept is the biggest problem for Arsene Wenger, whose team passes the football like a butterfly, but no one dares to say that Arsenal is a possession team, because they do not necessarily lead their opponents in possession every game, and even set a perverted record of 300 consecutive games in which Barcelona surpassed their opponents in possession; Their attacking style is fluid and they have scored the most goals in the Premier League, but no one dares to say that they are an all-attacking team. Because Arsenal used to attack up front and defend at the back, and there was no difference between other ordinary Premier League teams......

The only thing that dares to say is that Arsene Wenger's Arsenal always has a constant stream of stars to support his attack, and even when the team is at its worst, his players can still call for wind and rain in the transfer market.

So let's define it like this, Lord Fratellison focuses on the system, and Arsene Wenger focuses on the stars.

When it came time for the two teams to compete for the stars, it was Arsene Wenger's Arsenal's turn to have the upper hand.

The second half lasted 21 minutes. When Manchester United gradually took control of the situation on the pitch. The goal came out of nowhere, but not them, but Arsenal.

It was a personal heroism that flashed with a star.

Cesc Fabregas split the ball in midfield, and Walcott on the wing took the ball and suddenly stepped forward. Evra, who was guarding him, was momentarily unaware of his breakthrough. Patrice Evra was quick to respond, though. He quickly turned around and leaned against Walcott's body, allowing him to start accelerating comfortably.

Theo Walcott swept the ball down the middle and Descartes picked up the ball on the left flank of United. At this time, Vidic and Carrick were nervous at the same time, because in the past few seasons, Descartes was the one who brought the most damage to Manchester United, and his battle for fame was in the match between Arsenal and Manchester United, and in the past three seasons, Descartes has scored 6 goals against Manchester United in 6 games, and can be called "Manchester United nemesis".

However, Descartes did not give them a chance to wrap up this time, and after he won the ball, he directly crossed the ball to Van Persie, who received it on the left, and the ball looked unremarkable, and any Premier League player could pass it casually.

Van Persie was on guard when he got the ball, Rio Ferdinand, the captain of the England national team and the most trusted pillar of the Manchester United players, so when they saw him posted on Van Persie, the rest of the United players breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down unconsciously.

At this moment, Descartes suddenly rushed out like an arrow from the string, the target was the Manchester United penalty area, and the ball at Van Persie's feet seemed to have a spirit, and suddenly slid past Ferdinand's feet and rolled straight towards Descartes.

Vidic, who was in charge of keeping an eye on Descartes, was taken aback, but fortunately his reaction was not slow, and when Descartes started, he quickly followed, according to his judgment, he definitely had a chance to block in front of Descartes when he got the ball, even if he didn't stop the ball and was ready to volley directly, he had a lot of time to fall to the ground and sliding to destroy the ball.

However, Descartes' reaction was much more than he expected, he ran straight at the ball, and before touching the ball, he suddenly pinned his right foot next to the ball, which was a very sensitive position, and if Vidic were to make a sliding tackle, he would definitely tackle Descartes' foot first, and then touch the ball.

He wants to cheat a penalty? The first thought that came to Vidic's mind was that Descartes was about to make a trick, so he hesitated and did not make a tackle, but stopped his pace and stopped in front of Descartes.

But when Vidic was about to lean in on Descartes and force him to turn around with his body squeezing, he heard the exclamations of tens of thousands of spectators, and then he looked at Descartes' feet, and the ball was gone!

What about balls?

Vidic was taken aback and hurriedly looked around for signs of the ball, before he finally saw the ball churning in United's net, and Van der Sar on the goal-line was looking at him with the same confused eyes, both staring at each other, barely understanding what was going on.

It wasn't until the big screen replayed the whole thing in slow motion that Vidic figured out that Descartes had put his supporting foot next to the rolling ball, not only to prevent him from disrupting the attack, but also to shoot with his left heel.

Since he was one step slower than Descartes, Vidic rushed hard, and when he stopped, he was already in front of Descartes. Normally, if Descartes were about to take the ball or turn around, he would be in a position to face the opponent, but when Descartes decided to shoot with his backheel, a large gap behind him was completely exposed, and he didn't even know what Descartes was doing at his feet.

Like him, Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar was deceived, Lao Fan is experienced, but with such a close-range back-heel shot, even he couldn't react, and by the time he found the ball, it had already appeared on the goal line, and no matter what he reacted to, it was already too late.

Descartes used such an imaginative shot to declare that he was really Manchester United's nemesis, and at the same time helped Arsenal overtake the score, and this ball saw that Lord Fergus on the sidelines shook his head again and again, can't stop it, can't stop it, everything has been exhausted, or can't stop people from having a flash of inspiration, what can be done?
