Chapter 152: It's really ruthless

In fact, it's not that Arsenal is not performing well, but that Manchester United is in too good shape!

Lu Weidu has a lot of uncharacteristic words, which shows how hearty the game is. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Needless to say, morale is also important for tactical arrangements.

Due to the successive injuries of Pire, Wiltord and Bergkamp, Arsenal's attack on the left side was damp, so that in the last minute of the last game, the core figures on the central axis such as Youmo came to make a cameo appearance as a left midfielder.

Given that United are likely to play attacking football against the hosts, Arsene Wenger did not risk him on the wing, but instead formed a double insurance with Patrick Vieira, with Grimandi continuing to play at left midfield.

To compensate for the loss of attacking power in this arrangement, Arsenal focused their attacks on the right, with Rosicky and Ljungberg in the small combination, leaving space on the left for Henry to play alone. In the middle, the central side was left intact, with the attacking and defensive back-back combination of Jumo and Vieira supporting the backbone of the team.

Although this arrangement is a bit conservative, it is also the right way, and it is more practical to strengthen the defense than to strengthen the attack in the strong dialogue, and it is also in line with the team's consistent tactical thinking in this wave of consecutive wins.

As a result, I didn't expect that this arrangement was in the hands of the opponent!

Manchester United defended heavily on the left, always on the cutting off of Rosicky's pass to Thierry Henry. When attacking, he used Yao Xia's speed to impact Grimandi, and handed over to Lu Wei in the middle to solve the double insurance of Vieira and Youmo.

Whether it was premeditated or played on the spot, the advantages brought by tactical alignment are obvious. Although the first goal has an element of luck, it is also the product of continuous offensive and belongs to a small probability event under big data. And when Arsenal took the initiative to change their strategy and began to play against the attack, this advantage was fully amplified, and the second goal came naturally!

Need to change!

Wenger did not hesitate to take advantage of the sideline ball to pass through Lauren and began to adjust the position.

Grimandi returned to the middle to organise the attack, and Jumo once again moved to the unfamiliar left midfield position and began a journey full of unknowns.

This change may seem risky, but being two goals down at home is intolerable, and it is better to die a heroic death!

Arsene Wenger was mentally prepared for the death of a strong man, but a guy on the field not only failed to empathize, but took the initiative to ridicule the opponent.

"Hey, Chubby, lost weight again?"

Hearing such a question, Yao Xia really didn't want to pay attention to it, but the other party was the boss, the boss who was obscene and mighty on and off the field, if he pretended not to hear it, he would definitely be cut down!

So I had to say in the same tone as usual: "There are too many failures...... Oh no, I'm at the right weight, where do I lose weight? ”

The two men were not far apart, talking and watching, but the ball kept moving down the right side of Arsenal and nothing happened to them for a while.

As a wing-back, it's not a good habit to run down the middle without the ball, and making the most of the width of the pitch is the only way to create long passes for your teammates. So Yao Xia, whose physical strength declined quickly, seized the time to catch his breath, and You Mo, who should have been running all over the field, continued to be idle.

"Are you tired, Chubby?"

"Okay...... Seriously, boss, you two are behind by two goals! ”

"yes, I remember Henry scored one at the beginning?"

"Ignore you!"

Yao Xia rushed forward as soon as he shouted, wanting to interfere when the ball flew to the landing point.

It's a pity that it's too late, the guy who was still messing around just now has already turned around first, accelerated, jumped high, transferred such a long pass that was not in place to stop with his chest, returned to Ashley Cole, and reflexively stepped forward!

Yao Xia didn't dare to be careless at all, immediately stopped his steps, turned around and ran back.

Now the distance between the two is closer, and in an almost parallel state, there is a question in my ears that makes people cry and laugh.

"Hey, you say, who can make it to the finish line first?"

Yao Xia didn't have the heart to answer, he kept at his feet, and at the same time turned his head to observe, until he saw that Ashley Cole did not rush forward with the ball, but handed it to Grimandi, who came to pick it up, and then he was relieved.

Stop, turn, adjust position in small steps, throw the guy behind him to his teammates, and keep his eyes on the ball.

The sound of idleness was heard in my ears again.

"There is not much time in the first half, and if you don't score another second half, it's very hanging, don't you say, Chubby?"

Yao Xia decided to do it once and for all, so he turned his head to protest, "Boss, can't you talk to the master, I don't have enough brains!" ”

"Oops, I'm sorry!"

Before the words fell, You Mo had already flashed out from behind Yao Xia, stopped the ball on the sideline and turned around in one go, and began to dribble the ball head-on!

Yao Xia knew that he was distracted, otherwise there was a high possibility that such a bad pass would be broken. The matter has come to this point, and it is useless to regret it, so I have to fight and retreat.

The position of the two is actually just past the halfway line, so there is no threat, and it is not a quick counterattack opportunity that can break through the face. So everyone is doing their job step by step, and even the fans don't have the same spirit as before, and the whole Highbury Stadium is a little weak.

Touch the ball with the right foot on the instep of the right foot, once, twice, three times...... The frequency is not fast, the speed is not exaggerated, but the rhythm is as precise as the second hand. The same is true of the power of the touch, so that Yao Xia can never find a chance to get his feet. Soon, the distance between the two was quickly smoothed out because of the speed gap between one advance and one retreat, and it was time to make a choice.

Run or grab?

Yao Xia's head was already a mess of paste, his heart was horizontal, and his right leg was straddled forward!

The ball passes, but let's put it down!

The ball is over ....... What about people?

In the sudden exclamation, a figure on the left sideline suddenly shifted to the left in the middle of the high-speed forward, crossed an arc and then overtook in the corner, crossing the obstacle!

Drift?

It was indeed like drifting in a pole racing race, so much so that Gary Neville, who was originally in charge of protection, froze a little before he began to accelerate and retreat, beware of hurting people again under the opponent's outburst.

However, the opponent seemed to be tired, moving only by inertia, his head raised, and his eyes turned.

Looking at Yao Xia, who was still struggling to chase back not far away, Gary Neville was determined, maintaining a distance of less than 1 meter and 2 meters, and moving sideways to the bottom line.

With the guy with the ball still close to the touchline, the rest of the United players didn't come over to join in the fun, and the ribs and the central defense were not leaky, even the left side of the defense was not slack.

One-on-one is one-on-one, and after that, you have to go to the middle lane!

As soon as this thought flashed, the guy who had come to five meters in front of the big penalty area on the left side touched his left foot, crossed with his right foot, and began to move sideways.

Cut in!

The move that was not surprising did not cause chaos, except for Yao Xia, who was chasing back, who had done useless work, the others had already prepared, and the formation was not chaotic at all.

Gary Neville looked up and saw that there were no reinforcements behind the cargo, and the nearest Ashley Cole was still ten meters away, so he turned around and switched to frontal defense.

At the same time, Keane, who was responsible for guarding the danger zone outside the big penalty area, moved sideways to form a pinch.

Just when the distance between the two is getting smaller and smaller, and the door is about to close, the guy who has been carrying the ball in the middle of the side, his right foot is lightly raised, and the surface of his foot is like a shovel, rubbing out a small arc that is just right!

The ball crossed the waist and crotch of the two and fell to the left side of the penalty area, which was originally empty!

Oops!

By the time Gary Neville reacted, Thierry Henry had already leapt out of the way, scrambling with his left foot before Rio Ferdinand and slotting it down to the far corner!

When the ball arrives, the ball jumps slightly, the header is a little, and the ball goes into the net!

1:2!

Arsenal pull one back!

.......

Since Youmo has never appeared on the wing, let alone the awkward position of the left wing-back, many people attribute the crotch-piercing assist in the last game to luck. Including the Manchester United players, they don't think that this thing will change the way they used to play all over the field, and hold on to one side.

Arsenal's formation in this game also strengthened their opinion, and after holding a two-goal lead, they regarded the change of sides as a dead horse and did not feel any threat at all. Even when he suddenly broke out and injured people, and the foul action couldn't be stopped, they still didn't pay enough attention, but only strengthened the frontal defense, saving this miracle.

As a result, right under their noses, the guy who had always opened and closed and moved like thunder suddenly turned into a court artist, drawing a small arc with light and agility, and the originally complex attack suddenly became extremely simple!

Although there were no assists and no goals, his presence was so dazzling that the entire Haibu Stadium was filled with amazement, and everyone could not hide their excitement and emotion.

"This is another breakthrough in his career!"

On the live commentary seat, Martin Taylor was convincing, and Andy Gray couldn't help but shake his head.

"The Manchester United players are too careless and don't take care of this dangerous person enough!"

"Yes, probably they, like us, didn't expect him to plot an attack in such a position. But did you notice that this threatening ball is almost exactly the same as the assist in the previous game, it is all about finding space through passing, using Henry's speed to get rid of the defense and create a killing chance, while he is completely invisible and becomes a number 10! ”

"That's right, there's Bergkamp on both passes, and simplifying the complex is the Dutchman's most impressive style!"

"I remember someone broke the news before, saying that he often practiced his foot skills after training, and the instructor was Bergkamp!"

"What a man who never gets satisfied, is he going to try all the positions on the pitch?"

"As a free man, you should."

Really planning to try all the positions on the pitch?

Anyway, it's just a matter of preparing for the opportunity before it arises.

In fact, after the realization of the first game against Ibrahimovic, Yumo regarded himself more as a No. 10 player, using breakthroughs or passes to create threats, and making full use of his teammates' individual abilities to solve problems, rather than taking a big bag and firing indiscriminately.

This shift will inevitably have a statistical impact, but it will also make teammates feel uncomfortable and cause coordination problems. After three games of running-in, Henry became the guy with whom he had the most tacit understanding, achieving the effect of 1+1>2.

There are not many options to choose from in the wing-back position, but fortunately, Arsenal's left wing-back almost all have the attributes of a forward midfielder, and the players have long been accustomed to a variety of left-sided combinations. Especially Henry and Ashley Cole, the first and second two dangerous people, have long been famous under the tandem of Pire, and they have killed all sides.

Yumo's arrival made up for the impact of Pire's injury, and his exaggerated speed and explosiveness made the attack on the left more direct. When the opponent is not prepared, he and Henry are enough to complete the offensive organization and create a threat!

So in Lu Wei's opinion, it is necessary to remind Yao Xia.

"One face has been passed by, is there a shadow in the psyche?"

"Uh, master, boss, he'......"

Yao Xia was stuck before he finished speaking, and coughed.

Lu Wei rarely looked concerned, and asked again: "Did he harass you?" ”

"Ah, that, well, yes!" Yao Xia stuttered a little, but he finally remembered which side he was from.

"It's not good-looking, and he likes to flirt with women from good families, this person is too shameless!" Lu Wei raised his fist with an angry expression.

"Master, you have to call the shots for me!" Yao Xia immediately hugged her thighs, and she was said to be a woman from a good family and did not let go.

Lu Wei nodded smugly.

"Okay, I'll settle accounts with him!"

......

After Arsenal pulled a goal back, the first half was only five minutes away, and just when everyone thought that the score would remain 1-2 until half-time and the second half was still full of suspense, something unexpected happened.

In the 43rd minute of the game, Arsenal's attack failed, and the ball was punched out by Van der Sar and flew to the left, where Ryan Giggs was.

The Welsh started at an astonishing pace, and Ljungberg's interference had no effect, leaving Lauren to fight and retreat for reinforcements.

Vieira's figure soon appeared, his black and hard body full of energy, and his steps were big and fierce. Not far away, there was a small, inconspicuous-looking man, whose speed was not exaggerated, hanging slowly behind him.

After dribbling more than five metres from the halfway line, Giggs didn't choose to eat his opponent raw with his speed, slowing down, kicking back, nudging and handing it to his team-mate.

Vieira reacted quickly and turned around almost the moment Giggs passed the ball to interfere with the player as much as he could. It's a pity that Lu Wei's reaction was faster, his movements were faster, he didn't stop the ball, and pushed his left foot to the right along the trajectory of the ball, which made the Arsenal captain do useless work!

Scholes!

Slightly adjusted, big arc, still looking for Giggs!

Lauren still didn't lose his position, but this time there was no one to help him, and he had to face an opponent with incredible speed one-on-one.

Giggs still didn't hold up, accelerate, stop, cut inside!

Campbell greeted him, and just as he approached, he swept a figure out of the corner of his eye, and immediately called out to his teammates. Lauren understood, stopped his progress towards the middle, and returned to his position to wait.

Sure enough, Giggs didn't choose to go it alone, and after a few horizontal steps, he buckled with his right foot and nudged with his left foot to re-enter the left wing!

Lu Wei!

Looking at the two people who were one-on-one, a chill welled up in the hearts of all Arsenal people.

Suffer!

Iron Man can't withstand this kind of onslaught!

Change direction, change again, after shaking the opponent, cut inside, and hook back at the bottom line!

Two meters inside the line of the big penalty area, Scholes made it in one fell swoop!

1:3!

"That's ruthless, these shits!"

Looking at the bouncing ball in the net, You Mo rarely burst into a foul mouth.
