Manchester United regained the lead, giving the Arsenal fans a tug-at on the sidelines, but not disliking the Arsenal players on the pitch.

The 11 players on the pitch are all seasoned professional footballers who have won and lost so much that they won't stop until the referee blows the whistle for the end of the game.

What's more, even if Manchester United were lucky enough to score a goal, it was Arsenal who now dominated the field.

Descartes' appearance is a key chess piece, Manchester United has lost the most important barrier in the midfield since Keane left, neither Carrick nor Hargreaves has the kind of deterrence that Keane has in the midfield, not to mention that Hargreaves later retired directly due to injury and became a typical glass man.

Without the barrier in midfield, United's weaknesses at the back were laid bare in front of the enemy: their defenders had enough toughness and courage, but lacked the ability to play alone on a small scale.

Rio Ferdinand's reputation is indeed loud enough, but fans who watched Manchester United vs. Barcelona in the 2011 Champions League final can clearly find that Ferdinand is completely like a clumsy stake when facing players like Messi and Iniesta, he was slammed by Iniesta again and again in that game, if it weren't for Vidic blocking Messi for him, it is estimated that he would have become Manchester United's biggest sieve.

And Wes. Brown, does anyone else know where he is now?

Wes. Brown's career at Manchester United has been a tragedy, as has Real Madrid's Pavon. He doesn't lack quality, but he is not strong enough to suddenly rise to the top in a giant like Manchester United, if he is given time to grow slowly, he may become a qualified substitute or rotation player, but the lord promoted him too quickly, and the brutal Premier League has destroyed his confidence and his body.

He spent a total of 10 seasons at Manchester United, but only this season did he complete his full duty and most of the rest of the time, he was not injured. It's just struggling with injuries.

Such a backline. When it comes to playing well, it can be seen as solid, but in the face of adversity, you can hardly expect them to keep the team in the open air.

In fact. Manchester United have lost just one game so far this season. And then count the goalkeeper Van der Sar, who is getting older and hotter. and Montenegro defender Nemanja Vidic, who missed the game due to injury.

If Vidic had been around, I believe Ferguilla would never have sent Brown, even if Brown planned a brilliant long ball attack in the first half. But he and Rio Ferdinand share the same flaws, and they are by no means a perfect pair.

And Arsenal's attack is aimed at the shortcomings common to these two men: slow turning, inflexible movements.

After Descartes replaced Adebayo on the field, he has been cruising in the middle of the two, intentionally or unintentionally seducing the two to move the position to the front, and Van Persie will take the opportunity to insert the gap behind the two, using his speed and agility to seize the opportunity, the ball at the beginning of the second half, it is precisely because Ferdinand turned back to block Van Persie, and Brown is not as flexible as Descartes, so Descartes grabbed the position to shoot first, laying the groundwork for Fabregas's goal.

The game lasted until 80 minutes, and although United were lucky enough to take the lead again, the gap between the two men was not only not filled, but there was a tendency to grow larger.

In the 85th minute of the game, just three minutes after Ronaldo's goal, Arsenal almost seized the gap between the two and equalized.

At that time, it was Cesc Fabregas who split the side, Diaby, who replaced Hleb, ran with the ball, and after being intercepted by Gary Neville, Diaby did not come hard, and passed the ball to Descartes who stepped forward to answer, Hargreaves followed behind Descartes to prevent him from turning around, who knew that Descartes directly leaked the ball between his legs, and then pulled the timing of Hargreaves' vision blocked, and wiped it from the side.

The deceived little Ha was in a hurry to drop Descartes and deliver a free-kick from the outside of the box to Arsenal at a 45-degree angle.

Van Persie and Xiaofa stood behind the ball together, everyone thought that the ball would be one of the two of them to take the penalty, who knew that when the two were pretending to discuss, Van Persie suddenly knocked the ball under his feet to the middle, followed by Diarra's strong volley, and the ball went straight to the upper right corner of Manchester United's gate with a howling wind.

Fortunately, at this time, Manchester United's 37-year-old goalkeeper Van der Sar perfectly interpreted what it means to "have an old family, if there is a treasure", his spirit is highly concentrated, Diarra's shot just left the turf, he has already flown sideways, and at the moment when the ball is about to drill into the goal, Van der Sar's big slap arrived in time and slapped the ball out of the bottom line.

And this goal, Diarra's shot was in the middle of Ferdinand and Brown, and the two were indifferent until the moment Diarra shot on goal.

Lord Fu, who almost lost the goal, only felt a rush of heat to his head, and he almost kicked his leather shoes into the stadium in anger, but fortunately, the laces of the leather shoes were strong enough, and the shoes fell to the ground after a turn on his feet, otherwise he would have staged a live version of "Flying Boot Gate" in front of more than a billion viewers around the world.

The old gentleman only felt that the old face was flushed, he put on his leather shoes in a slightly embarrassed way, and went straight to the sidelines to make a recovery gesture to Manchester United's players, in his opinion, there are less than ten minutes left in the game, Manchester United only needs to hold this one ball, the game will be stable.

Of course, the lord's calculation is right, Manchester United is much more active than Arsenal in this game, and their physical strength is actually quite exertional, and the advantage of holding a ball in the last ten minutes is completely no problem to defend.

But the situation on the football field is like this, you take a step back, the other side goes further, and you are two steps away from coming and going, which means that you lose not only the initiative, but also many other things.

Arsenal, who pressed hard, immediately took control of the entire midfield, and then they moved through two flanks to launch a fierce siege on United's doors.

89th minute. It was Diarra who stepped in the back row and gave Van Persie a good shot, but unfortunately General Fan at this time was not the same General Fan in the future, he kicked the ball into the sky in the face of Van der Sar's long arm!

Van Persie also looked annoyed when he missed the ball, and he angrily hammered the turf and then spat before walking out of the penalty area.

However, that wasn't the end, as it was Diarra who overcame Wayne Rooney with a header over Rooney in a duel to head the ball over the retreating Cesc Fabregas. Xiaofa and Diaby made a one-to-two cooperation. Pick the ball to Descartes before Carrick makes the tackle.

At this time, Descartes also had Brown behind him, and from the first appearance of Descartes in the Manchester United and Arsenal encounter, Ferguson had already regarded him as a dangerous figure, and his alert level was even higher than that of Adebayor and others. The goal conceded in the second half also proved it. Descartes is indeed the nemesis of Manchester United's backline. So Brown's strategy is to keep him on his back as much as possible to make him less of a threat.

But does carrying the ball with your back mean losing your threat?

Of course not! Bergkamp's gorgeous waltz, Zidane's dazzling Marseille maneuver. These are classics of getting rid of opposing defenders when holding the ball with their backs, and although Descartes is not yet a master, he is by no means the average striker who is at a loss as soon as he is held up from behind.

Against a defender like Brown, who is a little sluggish, he has a way to get rid of him easily.

Most of those methods only worked in one-on-one situations, though, and now that both were in official soccer matches, surrounded by crowds, Descartes didn't have enough time to flex his footwork, so he made a very simple choice: passing.

This pass was not a choice made after being forced to do so, and even after this pass was sent, many of the surrounding players did not know where the ball went, and when there was a violent exclamation from the sidelines, everyone realized that the ball had been assigned to the side by Descartes, and there, a black lightning-like figure was galloping at high speed, hooking it back before the ball rolled out of the bottom line.

It's Walcott!

No one knows why Descartes, who had kept his head down, knew that Walcott would be there, as if he had known Walcott's running route beforehand, but in fact, in slow motion on the big screen later, the ball at Descartes' feet had already left the turf before Walcott had even started, and by the time Walket rushed out, the ball had just crossed Evra's head and landed in the space behind him.

A perfect "no/look/pass", on the basketball court, this kind of pass is called a blind pass, through the deception of the gaze to achieve the purpose of confusing the opponent, but Descartes turned the ball away from Brown, he did not use the gaze to deceive, he just did not look in that direction at all, so that Evra and Carrick, who had been staring at him, lost their vigilance, and then created a great opportunity for Walcott's breakthrough.

Theo Walcott didn't waste the brilliant pass, as he used his speed to get past Patrice Evra and then cross the box, and in desperation, Brown lost his mark on Descartes and turned to pounce.

At this time, Ferdinand also quickly rotated to fill Brown's position, and he was tightly entangled with Descartes.

But at this time, Arsenal was not the only player who pounced on Descartes, there were several people such as Van Persie and Cesc Fabregas standing in the penalty area alone, who compressed Manchester United's defense into a thin sheet of paper and stood in front of the gate in a straight line.

The clever Walcott did not choose to pass the ball to the penalty area at this time, but passed the ball directly back to the top of the box before Brown came up to seal the passing route.

Here, another black figure rushed up, with a fierce wind, the man vigorously raised his right leg and pumped it towards the ball, which was kicked out of shape almost in that moment, and then flew towards the goal with a "whew".

The United players subconsciously shrank their necks in the face of such a furious shot, but the ball did not touch anyone in mid-air, and it was lucky to pass through the layers of human walls and run directly to the crossbar of Manchester United.

There was another loud bang, and Descartes had already kicked the crossbar once in the second half, so would he have to do it again?

The ball didn't fly into the sky as most people thought, instead, it bounced to the ground, and in this moment of lightning, it seemed to have crossed the goal line, and by the time it bounced back into the air from the ground, it had already appeared outside the goal line, and was taken into the arms of the frightened Van der Sar.

And at this moment, the sharp whistle in the referee's mouth suddenly sounded, and the referee ran over with all his strength and raised his right hand.

This action touched the hearts of the 22 players on the scene and the more than one billion spectators outside the field. (To be continued......)
