Chapter 12: Captain, the enemy is too ferocious

It is not only the media who are interested in feeling the pressure of Arsenal's ferocious firepower, but also Ferguson, who is about to play them.

Regarding the media reports about Arsenal's "good luck" and "unfamiliar opponents", Lord Ferguson simply scoffed, if he really believed what those shit-like media said about shit luck or something, then he was really evil.

As the well-deserved hegemon of the Premier League today, if Ferguson doesn't even have this vision, why can he sit in the dugout of Manchester United for more than 20 years?

Contrary to the comments of the media, in Ferguson's view, Arsenal has now found the formation that really suits them, originally he thought that after Arsenal changed to 433, they would be beaten back to their original form in the last two months, so as to understand the truth of Dong Shi's imitation, but he did not expect that Wenger only took 20 minutes to abandon the formation they had practiced hard for a whole summer, and the action was so decisive and so simple.

Of course, if he had known that this was actually Descartes' idea, and that Wenger was just a good man, he might have looked up to Descartes even more, and at the same time strengthened his determination to dig into the corner.

It's a pity that Wenger will never take the initiative to tell him about this kind of thing, it is estimated that if Ferguson really dares to dig this corner, Wenger will dare to pick up a hoe to dig his ancestral grave, and put such a treasure on the stall, Wenger has already regarded him as his own heart, but if anyone dares to show the slightest covetousness to Descartes, he will not hesitate to kill him as soon as possible.

I used to be very close to Arsenal. Barcelona, who frequently introduced players from Arsenal, after thinking about Descartes, Wenger has issued a ban order within the club, and in the future, all Arsenal players, even if they are sold to Manchester United at a low price, will never be given to Barcelona; In the same way, any player that Manchester United fancies, even if it is given to Liverpool for free, will never be sold to Ferguson!

Of course, Ferguson doesn't understand the many twists and turns at the moment, but he understands one thing. That is the team on the Arsenal and Charity Shield. If Manchester United had dealt with it the way it had been in that game, they would have died a terrible death.

Therefore, at the beginning of this game, Lord Fu discharged the strongest lineup he could discharge, and Wang Laoji and Nani were separated. Scholes, Carrick one after the other. On the front line, Rooney is partnered with Owen. In addition to Ferdinand, who was temporarily unable to play for "psychological reasons", the right-back also became the more experienced Gary. Neville.

This main lineup of veterans, although the combat effectiveness is very amazing. It almost reached 1 million, but it was not the regular formation of Manchester United, because for Lord Fergus, the physical strength of the veterans is limited, and a little less is used, and good steel must be used on the blade.

And this game against Arsenal is the "blade" in Lord Fu's mind.

After the Arsenal hurdle, Manchester United is qualified to defend the title this season, otherwise let alone Arsenal, even teams like Tottenham and Liverpool will take a bite on Manchester United.

The power of the Premier League hegemon will never allow jackals to provoke, even if it is a camel that is about to die of emaciation, Lord Fu must retain the last dignity for it.

But the cruel truth soon made Lord Fu so shocked that the gum in his mouth fell out, because from the 30th minute of the game, Arsenal continued to cut and cut Manchester United's wounds with a knife at a rate of one goal every five minutes.

Lord Fu was right, Arsenal at this time is indeed not the Arsenal of three weeks ago.

At that time, Arsenal was still in the chaotic period of formation change, although Descartes changed the formation, so that they once had an advantage on the field, but this spontaneous system has not been beaten after all, and it has not been able to knock Manchester United's solid defense, Ramsey's two goals, more by virtue of the strong individual ability of the frontcourt players.

But after three weeks, including a week's rest before the game against Manchester United, that is, after a month of conscious training, Arsenal now have a better understanding of the 451 formation, especially after successive big wins, the players' confidence has accumulated, and the momentum has also been played, an army with confidence and momentum is definitely a world away from a chaotic army.

The reason why Manchester United can hold out for 30 minutes in such a confrontation is because they currently have a large number of veterans in the team, although these veterans cannot crack Arsenal's new formation, but with their experience, it is more than enough to stabilize their defense, so in the first 30 minutes, although Manchester United can not have the upper hand on the field, but at least they can play with Arsenal, everything seems calm.

But there are many veterans, and there is also a big hidden danger, that is, physical strength. 31-year-old Owen, 36-year-old Ryan Giggs, 35-year-old Scholes, also 35-year-old Gary. Neville, if you also count the 39-year-old Van der Sar in goal-scoring position, and Carrick, who is also 29 years old, Manchester United's team is full of too many veterans, which leads to a lack of experience and energy.

After 30 minutes of battling with Arsenal's group of young lads, Manchester United's veterans finally felt the trouble caused by physical exhaustion, many of the original opportunities were half of the struggle, they are usually not the opponents of Arsenal players, and many of the original exquisite movements, but also because of lack of strength can not be in place, the result is that the team's formation gradually began to disperse, and the connection with each other is becoming less and less.

It stands to reason that as a team that has been fighting against Arsenal for more than ten years, Manchester United's veteran players should not be in such a situation, but the problem is to look at the squad on Arsenal's side now, 20-year-old Walcott, 19-year-old Ramsey, 21-year-old Denilson, 26-year-old Van Persie, the oldest of the entire midfielder is 27-year-old Arshavin!

Fighting physical strength and speed with such a group of young people, the old goblins who make one or two trips to Manchester United can still bear it, and who can withstand it after a few more trips?

The most odious thing is that Arsenal has also quietly picked up the speed this season.

In everyone's mind, 451 is actually a formation that is biased towards defense. There was once such a joke in China: when the Chinese men's football team played against Laos, they had to play 451, and the girls of the women's football team said that they didn't understand, so they told the media that if the men's football team lacked strikers, they wouldn't mind lending Han Duan to them......

This is certainly a disgusting joke of the men's football team, but it also illustrates a problem, that is, in the depths of everyone's consciousness, everyone takes it for granted that 451 should be a formation based on defensive counterattacks.

However, Arsenal went the other way, and their 451 was in addition to two midfielders who defended solidly. Three midfielders spread out behind the single arrow. Arshavin, Ramsey, Walcott, and even Van Persie, Diaby, Rosicky and others who may come off the bench all play on the pitch with one purpose, and that is to take turns attacking the strikers and pulling away the gaps. It's like an awl with a handle. Pierce your opponent in the heart again and again. Until you puncture your opponent's defenses and kill them completely.

With this tactic, even if Manchester United has the intention of slowing down the tempo. It's really a rat pulling a turtle, and I can't find a place to put my mouth, because Arsenal's three former waistline players don't reason with you at all, everyone just rushes to the middle together, do you follow? If you don't follow, let's beat you three or four in the middle of the road, and if you follow, then we will rush again and again, and you have to follow me again and again, trying to stop, that's a dream, if you can't stop, then you'll be tired to death!

Wang Laoji can swear to God, he has played with Arsenal for 18 years, and he now knows how tired it is to play this team, and Volko, who is more than a round younger than him, does nothing in particular, just buries his head and rushes to the middle, as if Van Persie sounded the rallying cry there, and all the Arsenal players are desperate to run there to gather.

If it was placed when he was young, Wang Laoji would probably think that this kind of running was at most just "sprinkling water", not to mention rushing more than a dozen times, even if he rushed dozens or hundreds of times a day, he would not even frown, but now after all, he is already 36 years old, and he has run back and forth with Xiao Young for more than a dozen times, his waist is sore, his legs hurt, he has cramps when he walks, and his teeth are bleeding.

The depressed Giggs had the heart to beg for help like his old comrades, but when he looked up, Scholes was worse than him, and he still rushed back to the backfield from the midfield, and Scholes had to follow Alexander every time. Song or Denilson rushed back from the front court, and when it came to the end, he simply didn't go to the front court, just stayed next to Carrick, waiting for the stunned group of Arsenal to bump into.

"It's nice to be young." Giggs couldn't help but sigh, looking at the high-spirited Walcott, as if he saw the young self more than ten years ago, didn't he run all the way like this, from his own half of the ball assault nearly 60 meters, even Arsenal three defenders, the last kick to set the country, for Manchester United with an FA Cup title?

I didn't expect things to change over time, but today this bitterness has to be tasted by myself, watching Walcott gallop in front of him, but he has a weak heart, this feeling is really ...... Too bad.

Even Ferguson didn't expect his team to collapse when it was just thirty minutes into the first half, except for Rooney, who was as strong as a yak, and even Nani appeared with his knees panting, this, this, what kind of trouble is this?

In the last 15 minutes of the first half, Arsenal scored a goal every 5 minutes, and the players who scored were Arshavin, Van Persie, and Denilson.

At halftime, the old man finally made up his mind to make adjustments, and the three veterans Owen and Gary. Neville and Ryan Giggs were replaced, the pink new hairy head Rafael, the jack-of-all-trades Fletcher and Mr. Shamrock Park Ji-sung were replaced, and Manchester United even changed to 451!

The only difference with Arsenal is that Manchester United's 451 is really for defense, while Arsenal's 451 is determined to attack.

It's a good look! All the media who recorded the video at the scene sincerely exclaimed that Manchester United vs. Arsenal, 451 vs. 451, Descartes vs. Rooney, Wenger vs. Ferguson, this may be the most gimmicky Premier League "battle of the century" in the past decade, even the original Ronaldo and Descartes's "fight for women's goal" was not so interesting, Wenger beat Ferguson into a deformation. This is the first time in the history of confrontation between the two sides in the past 17 years!

Although it was just a change of formation......

In the second half, Wenger's substitutions were in the hands of the whole world, the only difference was that Arshavin came off in the first half, Van Persie stepped back from the front line and moved to the left, and Descartes became the team's only lone arrow.

Descartes vs Wayne Rooney, the two hottest names in the Premier League right now, is really a pretty appetizing meal, although the two only met once four weeks ago, but the limelight of both players in that game was stolen by the two new youngsters, and the media did not report much after the game. But now. With both teams playing the same 451 and two players playing as the same single arrow, could there be a better chance to compare them?

Is the "golden boy" in England genuine, or is the monk from Italy more proficient in chanting? After this game. Believe that everything is in front of everyone's eyes.

Of course. What makes these people impossible to ignore. There are also huge 3:0 words on the scoreboard, if the final score is Manchester United to close the gap, it means that Rooney is still better than Descartes. But if Arsenal further distances, it will not only be a shame for Rooney, but also the possibility of creating the largest point difference between the two sides in nearly a decade, this is still at the home of Manchester United, is it possible that Arsenal has really found a way to cultivate immortals after a battle with the Universe team last season, and has become another "Universe team"?

There is only one truth, let's step over the glasses Shinichi Kudo and take a closer look for ourselves.

Manchester United, who replaced three new blood in the second half, really played a different momentum, but their momentum was not in attack, but in defense. In the first half, due to the physical exhaustion of veterans such as Ryan Giggs, Manchester United's overall formation was loosened, and for the no-ball running system of Lord Flegers, who was fine to almost every inch of grass, if the players could not run, then his formation would be finished, so when Manchester United's players collapsed physically, the score naturally collapsed.

And as soon as they replaced players with better physical strength, although in terms of individual strength, players such as Park Ji-sung and Fletcher are definitely less deficient than Giggs, Scholes and others, but under Manchester United's strict system, they have managed the entire backfield to be solid, and Arsenal's stormy attacks in the final stage of the first half have also been suppressed, and the move of taking turns to attack the middle has gradually failed in front of Fletcher and Carrick, who have better defense and double positions.

Now their only reliance is on Descartes, who has been in a mess of recent form on the front line.

If you want to say why Descartes is in such good shape this season, this is by no means for no reason, Kobe's advocacy of "devilish training" is indispensable, but more importantly, it is because of the arrival of Angeli that Descartes has a stable rear.

Grandpa Mao's combat history has fully proved to us that there is a stable rear, how important it is to the soldiers on the front line, Descartes now has a warm and peaceful family, which makes him psychologically unprecedentedly relaxed, when he was working hard in London, although he didn't say it, but his heart will still occasionally feel a little empty, a little lonely, a little cold, empty and lonely, what to do? What if you have a little more money in your pocket? Many people say that the protagonist of the puppet is too careful, but if any man is in that position, can you keep it?

So there was Emma, Moriel appeared, all kinds of flesh and skin, these women appeared, not for no reason, and went without a trace, Descartes, who lacked calcium but love, really needed some soft body to soothe his lonely heart.

But now, all this is not a problem, because his authentic girlfriend is here, it is as if the Ferrari has finally installed the right engine, no longer dragging the 100 hp engine at 800 mph, the Descartes has enough electricity all of a sudden, and the state has come up, how terrible is the Descartes who are in good condition, I will have a lot in common with you like Moyes and Allardyce.

Now, it's Alex Ferguson's turn to see what kind of player he missed out on in the first place.

In the 17th minute, when everyone thought that the situation on the pitch was once again deadlocked, Descartes stepped up boldly, and in this game, without the difficult Rio Ferdinand, he actually felt more relaxed than in the previous game. Plus Wes. Brown's reckless personality is even more prominent than Rio Ferdinand's, and he has actually been doing well up front, just a chance.

A chance to prove that he is indeed Manchester United's nemesis.

On the 17th minute, the opportunity finally came, Van Persie once again dribbled the ball down the left flank, and as Clichy took Rafael's attention away from the assist, Fletcher had to take the initiative to intercept Van Persie.

But just as Van Persie was attacking, Walcott on the right and Ramsey on the middle also rushed up at the same time, and the three of them rushed in one direction, as if they were not afraid to collide at all.

This is the strong burst in the middle that gave Manchester United an unusual headache throughout the game! If the two side lanes follow. Then you have to accompany this group of guys to drag racing. But if they don't keep up, they will instantly form a 3-on-2 in the middle, and Vidic and Brown in the back line are firmly pinned to the spot by the forward arrows, and they don't dare to come up to assist the defense. It's for the defenders. It's a painful thing.

But fortunately, Lord Fu had foresight. He sent Park Ji-sung because the South Korean player, who is known for his "fear of not dying", is quite dedicated to defending and facing such a situation. He will definitely run back from any corner of the pitch with his physical strength, forming a defensive line with Carrick and Fletcher in a back three, so that Arsenal will not have a numerical advantage and they will not be able to force a gap in the middle.

It's a pity that the so-called numerical advantage is actually relative, and when Descartes in front also withdrew from the penalty area and ran together in the direction of Van Persie's assault, the three backs couldn't take care of it.

Some people may wonder if Descartes also withdraws, then the two defenders of Manchester United will be liberated, and they can also come out? In this way, wouldn't Manchester United have one more man, so why is it difficult to defend?

All I can say is that this is really an opinion made by people who don't understand the ball, have you ever seen a team where the defender rushes up as soon as the striker withdraws? In football tactics, there is a special term for this, which is called pulling the gap, as soon as you follow out, the gap will come out, in case the other two players of the other two impact players on the other side suddenly do not run there, but turn around and rush into your penalty area, what do you do? Don't expect the midfielder to keep up, a professional footballer, no matter how slow the speed is, there is a bottom line, people run first, you run later, can you make sure you can keep up every time?

Once or twice, you may still be able to plug the loophole, but if you run a few more times, it will inevitably be missed, and once the opponent seizes an opportunity, you will be done playing!

So even if Descartes withdrew, Vidic and Brown could only stay behind the penalty area with trepidation, not daring to follow easily.

It's just that in this way, even if Manchester United has three backs, it can't be played, and later Mourinho has repeatedly used the tactics of three backs to deal with Barcelona, but under Guardiola, how many times has he really curried favor? Barcelona at its peak, in fact, is not afraid of Mu Bird's back three at all, because their running position is quite flexible, and Messi is also doing the same thing as Descartes: as a fake center forward, he often retreats deeper than the front midfield.

In this way, whether it is a back three or whatever, in a specific space, there are no more people than the attacking team, and this game is exactly like this, although Carrick, Fletcher and Park Ji-sung are lined up in a row and seem to have covered almost all areas of the midfield, but in some specific areas, they can only face the dilemma of one or two.

This gives Arsenal a lot of room to manoeuvre.

Another key point is that Arsenal's players have the ability to pass the ball with one foot.

This kind of tactic, in fact, also largely depends on the players' ability to pass and receive the ball, not that every team can make a difference by repeatedly hitting the middle with such a method, just imagine, in such a small space, but there are so many players, if there is no excellent ability to pass and cut, I am afraid you will have to make yourself stunned first, and what to talk about organizing the attack?

When we watch Barcelona's games in the future, we always feel that their cooperation in a small area is really smooth and pleasing to the eye, but in fact, this is also forced out, in such a small space, crowded with so many players, there are defensive players, there are offensive players, if your pass is not fast enough, not accurate enough, you can't grab any chances.

Now Arsenal is using such tactics spontaneously.

When Van Persie rushed over. was quickly intercepted by Fletcher, but he did not panic, but quickly handed the ball to Ramsay, who received it, Ramsay didn't even listen to the ball, and when Carrick just reacted, he had already handed the ball behind Carrick with a straight kick, where, Descartes, who happened to withdraw from the penalty area, got the ball, and Vidic and Brown were carefully deployed behind them, completely unexpectedly Descartes received the ball so quickly.

Still, Brown and Vidic reacted quickly. The two quickly formed a defensive situation. Not only blocked the path of Descartes' shot, but also blocked the way for him to break through.

But this attack was obviously not so simple, Descartes saw that there was no way to break through, and simply handed the ball behind him. Poor Carrick had just turned around and was ready to pounce on him from behind. As a result, the ball slid past his feet again. It fell back to Ramsay's feet.

Carrick had to turn again, but before he could catch his eye on the ball, the ball at Ramsey's feet had already been handed to Walcott, who was punching in strongly. Behind Walcott, Park Ji-sung was struggling to catch up, but he was always behind Walko and didn't dare to get up easily.

This time it was Vidic's turn to be shocked, because according to Walcott's speed, it only takes one trip to easily break through to him, and then it will either be a foul penalty or watch him go away, which is definitely not the response of a good defender, so he stopped his steps and turned to block Walcott's way.

But in the middle of this, Walcott's ball returned to Descartes' feet again, and after a series of dazzling combinations, Carrick, who was in the midfield position, didn't even know where the ball went, and he was scrambling to look around, looking for a trace of the ball.

And after this series of inverted feet, the opportunity appeared at the feet of Descartes, because at the beginning Vidic and Brown were a double ghost slapping posture to defend him, so the two occupied half of him, but between the electric light and flint, Vidic was attracted by Walcoat's attention, only Brown was left, and before he had time to readjust his position, he took advantage of this momentary vacancy, Descartes took advantage of the situation after receiving the ball, and forcibly rushed in from Brown's side, Brown didn't even dare to stretch his feet, Because in his position, once he stretches his foot, it is bound to be a red card and a penalty, and Descartes is so ghostly that he can only sigh when he can't reach it with all his strength.

Although Van der Sar once again stood in front of him without fear of death, but with Descartes' combat effectiveness, he had at least a hundred ways to deal with the bluffing Van der Sar, and finally he chose the simplest and most direct one, through the crotch ball, and once again sent the ball into the door of Manchester United.

Lord Fu on the sidelines could no longer chew his gum, and now he kicked both hands into his coat pockets, burying himself deep in the seat of the coach's seat, his face was so old that no one could see the joy and anger in his heart.

The score of 4:0 was enough to make Manchester United fans feel that a huge volcano was about to erupt.

But if the final score is only 4-0, the United fans will at least have some consolation, because at least in '01 they also taught Arsenal 6-1, when York scored three goals and last season's league title was humiliated at Old Trafford.

But the final score was a shocking 7:0, after Descartes scored the first goal, it seemed that he suddenly opened the goal account, in the face of his flexible running in the front field and the insertion of three forward players in turn, Manchester United did not even have the strength to shout "Ya Butterfly", they conceded three goals again in the 22nd, 31st and 45th minutes, which not only helped Descartes brush the league goals this season to 10, but also ushered in the most inhumane defeat in the history of the 100-year confrontation between the two teams!

After the game, Ferguson's face turned pale, and it is said that he slammed the poor group of players in the dressing room for half an hour before entering the press conference.

Here's what he had to say: "Some of our players don't deserve to be at United right now, and we'll make a change when the winter window approaches! ”

The last time he said that, he got rid of Eric Cantona and ushered in Yorke and Cole, and United became the new European champions and England's first ever 'treble'.

This time, who will go and who will come?

At this time, the only thing to feel fortunate about may be Ferdinand, who is still raising eggs at home because of "psychological problems", Ferguson's monstrous murderous aura can be felt by everyone, and most of the media have reached a consensus that the player who "does not deserve to stay at Manchester United" in Lord Ferguson's mouth is actually Wess who was beaten to the ground in this game. Brown, after five seasons of hard work at Manchester United, Lord Ferguson finally can't stand this talented "potential player" with no lower limit, and his performance in this game is simply Titanic-sink.

Ferdinand could only look up to the sky and sigh: "Nima, fortunately, this game was not forcibly recovered, otherwise there would be no one to carry the black cauldron, Brown, don't blame my brother for being unkind, the dead friend is not the poor man, you rest in peace." ”

If he heard Ferdinand's heart at this moment, Brown would probably cry and scream to the sky: "Captain, it's not that my brother wants to carry the black cauldron, it's really the enemy who is too cruel!" (To be continued......)
