The Reds were in a brief panic after conceding the goal, but fortunately there was not much time left in the first half, and Arsenal were unable to contribute to the Red Devils' goal again, despite their onslaught.

After returning to the dressing room, Ferguson had to start his hair dryer and roar in the dressing room, but he also understood that it was not easy for the team to be able to play an equal game with Arsenal with one less player, and it was useless to scold too much at this time, it was better to tell them clearly what to do, so that everyone had a unified mind.

Ferguson chose to defend solidly, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack, although the words are beautiful, but Manchester United's players are very bright, Ferguson is ready to defend a draw, because Manchester United is missing Rooney, Ferguson did not replace any striker at all, just Tevez alone in front, and counterattacked?

However, this is also a very normal choice, in the opponent's home field, one less player, the opponent's strength does not have to be weak, normal people will choose to hold a draw.

Lord Ferguson led the team to play in the Premier League for more than ten years, he understands a truth very well, the league has 38 rounds, you can't fight for a breath and ignore the following games, if you want to win the final championship, it's not enough for you to win a competitor, you have to win 19 competitors, so in any case, not losing is the first principle, Ferguson's purpose is: it doesn't matter if you can't win, but you can't lose.

In the second half against Arsenal, he had already made up his mind to carry his principles through.

And Manchester United's backline has not disappointed the old man after unifying the idea of defense, no matter how it is said that this is also a defense line of more than 70 million US dollars, which is higher than the value of most weak clubs in the Premier League, and when they are determined to defend, they must be stronger than those weak teams.

Arsenal's attack was like a wave meeting a stubborn reef, a ** wave rushed over, but it slapped on the reef and shattered, and then reduced to water droplets splashing around, as if it could not shake the stone at all.

But they were not discouraged, in the cheers of 60,000 fans at the scene, Arsenal took advantage of one more person, launched a crazy siege on the door of Manchester United, at this time the power of Wenger's 3 strikers was revealed, one more or one less on the penalty line, the threat is decisively different, although Bendtner is not strong enough, but the height of 1.93 meters is also very conspicuous in the pile, when Arsenal can not get in through the ground cooperation, they played a long pass and hung in a grand manner, And it's Bendtner's point.

Seeing Arsenal change their familiar tactics, a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Ferguson's mouth. The mountain people have a clever plan, so you can fight like this, and sooner or later you will have to cry.

When Bendtner became the centre of Arsenal's attack, Rio Ferdinand was the first to step up and stand firmly beside Bent.

Ferdinand is also 1.89 meters, and he is not at a disadvantage compared to Bendtner in terms of height, and the more important thing is that Bendtner is only 57.5kg, while Ferdinand is a full 85kg, the two are not a heavyweight at all in terms of size, Arsenal hoisted the ball to Bendtner, 99% will be destroyed by Ferdinand, and the Danish striker is as soft as a sugar man in front of him, and he can't create any threat at all.

This is the confidence of Ferguson to sit in the coach's seat with a sneer on his face.

It didn't take long for the Arsenal players to realise what the problem was, and although Bendtner stood out from the crowd, it was a bit overwhelming for him to fight Rio Ferdinand for the header, so what should he do? The Arsenal players played the ball down the third and began the ground penetration that they excelled at.

But the problem is that Manchester United have been so resolute in their retreat that even Tevez has retreated to the half to defend, and their penetration cannot penetrate into United's penalty area at all, and they are often destroyed in one step outside the big penalty area, completely losing their power as before.

Don't worry, as a giant in the Premier League, Arsenal will not only do these two moves, breaking the dense defense is a problem in the world, but not all dense defense can achieve good results, the key is the quality of the players involved in the defense.

As giants, why are teams like Arsenal or Manchester United spending a lot of money in the transfer market, desperately trying to find high-priced players?

Isn't it because these players are more skilled, more aware and better at performing than the average player?

So for the underdogs, if they encounter a dense defense and can't open the situation with a high ball, they will usually be helpless, but for the giants, they have another trick, and that is the player's individual breakthrough.

The reason why Ronaldo is worth 80 million pounds is not because he is handsome enough and Morse is cool enough, but because he can break through the defense and open up the situation for the team when he is one-on-one.

So after exhausting all means and still unable to crack Manchester United's turtle shell, the Arsenal players made the last resort: strong burst.

In the current Arsenal team, if you want to say that you have the strongest breakthrough ability, it should be considered Walcotter, without him, the speed is fast enough! He swooped the ball four or five meters out of the air, and then flew after it, and you couldn't keep up, so you could just watch him pass him or use foul tactics to keep him.

But Theo Walcott's breakthrough requires open space and plenty of distance, and when the front of the United defence is full of people, no matter how fast he is, he can't make a difference, because the opponent is always flanked by two players one in front of the other, you dare to go? Come and try it!

One of Arsenal's wings was scrapped, but Arsenal had another wing.

Unlike Theo Walcott, Nasri on Arsenal's left is a deft player. Nasri, who only joined Arsenal this season, is almost seamlessly integrated into the main lineup, in the case of Hleb's departure from Barcelona and Rosicky's perennial injury, Nasri has been firmly seated in Arsenal's main left midfielder position as soon as he arrives, and his performance this season can be said to be remarkable, scoring his first goal at Arsenal on his debut, which is another ironclad proof of Wenger's "fiery eyes".

In such a confined space, Walcott couldn't use his strengths, but Nasri was just right in water.

Several defenders of Manchester United, Carrick will not move easily in the middle, Park Ji-sung was pulled away by Descartes again, Nani who replaced Scholes is worse than Scholes, Giggs is far on the right side, only one Brown and Nasri are directly opposed, and there is a Nemanja Vidic next to him who needs to be in charge of guarding Van Persie, who has been operating on the left side.

Brown is in Gary this season. Neville was transferred to the right side by Ferguson when he gradually retired, in fact, his turning speed is extremely slow, the card position is not very accurate, and the assist ability is zero, which has become the biggest colander in Manchester United's back line this season, and the reason why Ferguson can still tolerate him is only because the Rafael brothers have not been able to fully grow, and when Rafael matures, it is estimated that it will not be far from Brown leaving Manchester United.

However, Ferguson didn't expect that in this game, Manchester United lost to the team's only "dead hole".

In the 74th minute of the game, Nasri attacked along the left wing, Nani, Brown and Vidic outflanked, Van Persie and Descartes cruising to the left also followed, Nasri showed that he and Van Persie made a one-two, trying to go down the wing, but Vidic saw through his line and appeared in time for him to move forward. In desperation, Nasri could only pass the ball back to Descartes, who struggled to get the ball under the suffrage of Park Ji-sung and Carrick, and turned and looked ready to pass back to the back.

Just when everyone thought that this attack was over, Descartes suddenly knocked on his backheel, and Van Persie appeared in the path of his pass, and at this time, Brown, who switched to defend Van Persie with Vidic, was still on the wing, not keeping up with Van Persie's pace at all.

Vidic, Carrick and others were shocked, and turned around and pounced on Van Persie together, at this moment, Van Persie also knocked with his back heel, and Nasri, who was blocked by Vidic on the side just now, did not know when he had slipped behind Vidic and appeared on the edge of the penalty area.

Two back-to-back passes tore through United's defence, starting with Brown, the whole line of United was a step slower, only to Nasri burst into the box and shoot the ball before Ferdinand made a tackle, and in the face of such a close-range shot, Van der Sar was powerless to return even with three heads and six arms, and the United defence finally collapsed at this moment.

The score became 2:1, which was also the final score of the game, and Ferguson also had a purpose: even if he wanted to lose, he would try to lose as little as possible. So after conceding the goal, he didn't rashly let the team press out to attack, 10 to 11, even if the players tried their best to equalize the score, the players who ran out of physical strength in the next game will lose the strength to fight, it is better to obediently admit defeat and wait for the next game to get face back.

Lord Fo has been in the Premier League for more than ten years, and has already seen the victory and defeat quite flat, this game lost, the 10 players on the field who were not guilty, if it weren't for Rooney's hot head, how could Manchester United be overturned in a good situation of leading?

After returning to Manchester United, the bitterness of the little fat man is coming.

Arsenal, who have fought hard, also announced the injury of team captain Cesc Fabregas, who will need at least two to three months of recuperation due to a torn tendon in his heel.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately made the pro-Arsenal media and fans mourn, and those who hated Arsenal shouted long live, and those who know the ball understand that although Cesc Fabregas's statistics this season are not obvious, his role in Arsenal is irreplaceable, he is the team's main link between midfield and striker, this link is broken, it is a fatal blow to Arsenal.

As for Descartes? In the minds of fans, they are not ready to accept a core that only plays 45 minutes per game, even if his performance is against the sky, but in everyone's subconscious, he is still regarded as a wonder soldier, and cannot be equated with the core of the team.

Like the baby-faced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, he always comes off the bench, so no matter how many goals he scores in a season, people only see him as a "substitute killer", and when it comes to Manchester United's main line-up, people refer more to the "dark wind duo" of Cole and York.

This is the main reason why Wenger has always regarded Cesc Fabregas as the true heart of the team, a pillar that can only play 45 minutes is clearly not as trustworthy as a pillar who can play 90 minutes.

After playing the game with Manchester United, Arsenal quickly shifted their focus to the Champions League, two days ago, Arsenal in order to prepare for the game with Manchester United, 0:0 at home by Fenerbahce forced a 0:0 draw, which made them in the Champions League group stage The original clear qualifying situation has been repeated, currently in Arsenal's Group G, Porto is 3-1 and comes from behind, surpassing Arsenal to become the group leader, while Arsenal only ranks second in the group with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, With two more points from Dynamo Kyiv with one win, two draws and one defeat, the situation is not good, and they will face a direct challenge from Dynamo Kyiv in a week's time.

There are six rounds of the Champions League group stage, and now the game has been played in four rounds, Porto ranks first in the group with 9 points, and has basically determined a place to qualify from the group, Arsenal ranks second with 7 points, but Dynamo Kyiv is only 2 points behind them, no matter who wins on both sides, they will take the initiative to qualify in their own hands, if Arsenal wins, they will be four points ahead, and the last round of the group stage can be comfortably arranged to rest, but if Dynamo Kyiv wins, they will host Fenerbahce at the bottom of the group in the final round, The hopes of qualifying are much better than those of Arsenal away from Porto, so this game will likely determine who qualifies for the last 16 of the Champions League.

You know, being able to enter the Champions League round of 16 is not only related to Arsenal's reputation and prestige, but also directly related to the interests of tens of millions of dollars, so Wenger issued a must-kill order, and the next game with Aston Villa, Arsenal can no longer take care of it, and the most important thing for them at present is to kill their direct rival Dynamo Kiev to ensure the team's Champions Cup qualification.
