Chapter 175: Is it over?

The score of the first half of the two simultaneous matches was 1-0. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Arsenal continued the style of the previous game, with Thierry Henry, Pire, Jumo and Rosicky in the rotation, once again taking advantage of the opponent's mistakes to take the lead by Wiltord.

With the crucial game against Juventus set up in three days' time, this game is neither too to be lost nor too much to be consumed. Such harsh conditions may have been difficult for some strong people in the past, and it was easy to kick away and not be able to take it, and it was boring to let go.

After a spiritual baptism, the Arsenal players were glitzy and glitzy, and the focus in their eyes sent chills down the hearts of their opponents.

A pack of wolves!

Greed, cunning, cruelty, terrible patience, tenacious will, strong teamwork.......

In contrast, Manchester United, which has just experienced an unexpected defeat, has been suppressed by the opponent in terms of form and luck, and no matter how stable the defense is, it can't withstand the opponent's inhuman performance!

Ibrahimovic!

The Swede's creativity is the result of a combination of delicate technique and strong physique, so he can be both agile and unpredictable when he's in the best of form. As Anelka's position in the team took shape, the support from around him made him sharper and more active than before.

Both of them are from the center, and from time to time they have a cross-change or something, which makes it very difficult for the defenders, and their all-round ability also makes the cooperation between the two varied. People who watched Manchester United's games last season have the feeling of "black strikers" reappearing in the rivers and lakes.

Actually, there is a big difference.

Both of them have the ability to hold the ball with their backs, and they can also play head-on singles, and when the physical confrontation is completely undefeated, teammates can rest assured and boldly press and organize the attack. As a result, Chelsea's midfield gradually gained the upper hand, and the successive attacks left the United players breathless.

Ferguson was a bit at a loss.

Manchester United are not a team with a lot of skill at their feet, and even though the continentalization of their tactical system has begun to accelerate in recent years, the midfield control is still at the bottom of the middle of the big clubs, and they often solve problems through defensive counter-attacks when they talk to each other. Including positional battles, their midfield passes are not complicated, and the local combination of the two wings and individual breakthroughs are the main content. Only when there is not much pressure will the penetration of short passes in the middle become a regular weapon for the team.

After erecting Lu Wei as the core, the team's ability to abuse vegetables has been greatly improved, and the rich offensive means have made the opponents with poor strength unable to defend against it. The fact that the rivals are still firmly at the top of the table despite being unbeaten in 32 rounds is a testament to the team's excellent performance at both ends of the pitch.

It's a pity that there are gains and losses, and Manchester United can still achieve such outstanding results in the transition period, and the hidden dangers behind it have obviously been covered up a lot. Especially on the European battlefield, the problem of insufficient control of the team's midfield is exposed in front of strong opponents, and relying solely on the pile of heads on the defensive line is a palliative but not a cure, and cannot solve the problem.

With David Beckham gone, Ryan Giggs' form has slipped and their proud wings are gone. In the face of the opponent's high pressing, the quality of their backcourt shots was not flattering, and Lu Wei had to retreat to a deep position to receive the ball.

In this case, his thin body has become the target of the opponent's attention, even if he can make a foul, it is a set-piece in the midfield and backfield that has little effect, but what is destroyed is a good opportunity for a quick counterattack.

As title rivals, Chelsea are clearly capable of overpowering United through midfield control. Two strikers with great individual ability, supported by their teammates behind them, took turns bombarding inside and outside the penalty area, giving them no respite!

1:0 is a true manifestation of the play of both sides, and it is self-deception to blame luck. Ferguson did not hope for the sudden outburst of his disciples, in addition to meditating, he also took the initiative to find Lu Wei and wanted to hear the real thoughts of the players on the field.

The results were somewhat unexpected.

"Here's your chance, aren't you going to gamble?"

Opportunity?

Although Ferguson is not a master of bluffing, he couldn't help his curiosity when he heard the eye-catching information in this situation, so he widened his eyes and asked, "Bet?" ”

"Yes, there will be no accidents if you continue to play like this."

After that, his flat expression became undulating because of his breathing, and an indescribable emotion welled up between his eyebrows, as if there was a strong call from another field 45 kilometers away, which resonated with the rhythm of his heartbeat.

Ferguson is also good at spoiling the atmosphere, and after laughing twice, he put his hand on the other party's shoulder and asked in a low voice: "It seems that you have a lot of confidence in that guy's brother?" ”

Lu Wei laughed.

'The Chelsea players are working hard, so we might as well give them a table, like the one before Ashley Cole.'

......

Meanwhile, on the Highbury Field.

Yumo and Henry were warming up, chatting with each other by the way.

The fans in the stands were very excited and kept chanting their names, but the two guys were indifferent, and the simple and boring short-distance passes were a bit unsightly.

The conversation wasn't nutritious, until Yu Mo casually asked, "How are you feeling about going back to the Alp Stadium?" ”

"Mood...... Henry parked the ball, thought about it, and looked serious, "I'm still a little excited, I think, probably because of his own changes." ”

Yu Mo nodded, and then asked, "Do you understand Italian?" ”

An embarrassed smile appeared on Henry's face, "It was originally very ordinary, but it became better when I met Rakisic." ”

"Oh......" Yu Mo replied in a long voice, didn't ask about other people's privacy, just said: "It's okay to understand, the province is scolded and kept in the dark." ”

These words made Henry a little calm, and frowned: "Actually, my popularity there is not bad, and the fans are also very friendly, but it's a pity that the left winger is not suitable for me, and there is a better candidate for the center forward position......."

You Mo patiently listened to the Frenchman's explanation, did not refute anything, just smiled.

At the end of the warm-up, when they walked down the field side by side, they said with some emotion: "It's actually a blessing to be able to settle grievances with a game." ”

It was in Chinese, and no one understood it.

The game restarted two minutes later, and the players of both sides set up to continue the battle.

Sheffield United are in the depths of relegation and any game is as precious as a lifeline. In this game, they thought that the opponent would stay because of the game in three days, but the opponent did stay in the starting lineup, and it was they who messed up and buried a great opportunity.

Fortunately, it was still early, and they still had a chance to bounce back. So at the beginning of the second half, they took the initiative to speed up the tempo, pressed forward in formation, and tried to make the opponent's aging lineup wrong by pressing high.

Such wishful thinking is correct, but unfortunately the timing is not right.

An unreasonable age structure on the field will bring all kinds of problems, such as physical distribution, lack of experience, lack of tacit cooperation, and so on. These problems can be seen by almost everyone, but the extent to which they can be achieved at the level of execution is the true reflection of the tactical level.

For example, in the current game, the rhythm of the entire first half was not fast, and just by rushing and hitting at the beginning of the second half, can you drag down the opponent's physical fitness?

The answer is clearly disappointing.

After Arsenal's formation retreated appropriately and withstood Sheffield United's three-board axe, the scene tended to be balanced again.

With such a toss, the momentum needed to turn the tables is no longer there!

In the 67th minute of the game, Sheffield United, who had replaced two people in a row, ushered in a blow before they had time to continue to exert their strength!

Vieira successfully launched a counterattack with a broken ball in the middle, and after a long straight line, he made a wonderful pass to Bokamp on the right side of the penalty area!

The Dutchman doesn't stop the ball and knocks straight to the middle, where Grimandi is!

The Frenchman, who has always appeared as a role player, is not soft in the face of opportunities, and a gorgeous arc from outside the big penalty area hangs straight into the corner of the goal!

2:0!

The die is cast!

In the sudden cheers and shouts, Wenger on the sidelines smiled from ear to ear.

It was easy to stop laughing, and he teased the guy who was about to play next to him: "Just like you often make cameos in my place, someone has robbed you of your job!" ”

You Mo also smiled, hehehe ”

Hearing this, Wenger was actually very proud.

"That's in the past, I'm going to start a new journey!"

......

Stamford Bridge.

Looking at the 2:1 hanging in the sky, Ferguson on the sidelines sighed in his heart.

Broken Blue Bridge?

In the previous 25 minutes, Manchester United surprised everyone, replacing the veteran Bart with Yao Xia as soon as they came up, and Srkos returned to the middle. As a result, the effect of this substitution turned out to be as Lu Wei said, and it became a great opportunity for the Chelsea players to open the gap.

The situation is clear.

An Asian player without any experience in the top five leagues, even if he occasionally makes a splash, can hardly be a reassuring part of the team. Especially in this high-level competition in front of you, there is no time to think at all in the fast-paced offensive and defensive transitions, all judgments are subconscious, and all actions are instinctive reactions!

In this situation, the strength of the players is often limited by experience, or they cannot keep up with the rhythm, or they are too eager to express themselves and deviate from the normal rhythm.

Yao Xia was no exception, and became the target of public criticism as soon as he came up, with Chelsea's attack on the left rushing like a tide, making him play like a headless fly.

Fortunately, his position is far from the goal, and the lack of a role in defense only makes the situation worse, not a colander.

His pace did play a role in his limited attacking chances, with United's equaliser coming from his wide break.

Although it was only a set-piece up front.

After 1:1, the Manchester United soldiers, who had just seen the hope of victory, encountered a blow to the head.

Anelka!

The Frenchman is familiar with the Premier League and Manchester United. Facing his old opponent Sylvester, he got the ball on the right side and changed direction at the right time, and then accelerated, relying on explosiveness to grab half of his body!

Half of the body looks inconspicuous, but it is often fatal in actual combat, this time Anelka firmly grasped the opportunity, and after a successful breakthrough in the ribs, he made a horizontal pass, and Ibrahimovic achieved it in one fell swoop!

2:1!

After scoring two goals in a row, the Swede surpassed Ruud van Nistelrooy, who had scored nothing in front of him, and became the top scorer alone!

22 balls!

The big scene is the best time to make a hero, and Ibu is treated like a king, and the sudden sound of "Ibracadabra" will deaf people's ears.

'Magician Ibrahimovic' was the Swede's favourite nickname to tell the media personally, but it rang like a death knell in the hearts of every Manchester United. Looking at the remaining 11 minutes of regular time, listening to the score of the winning game on the other field, the ominous premonition quickly came, and the hot heart was cold.

Ferguson had already played all the cards in his hand, and seeing the disciples panting one by one, the old man really couldn't bear to express his anger with a roar, so he was silent, shook his head slightly, and turned back to his seat.

He already had a premonition that the opponent in front of him would become a fierce opponent, but he didn't expect it to be so fast!

Anelka, who was originally a good pawn to intensify the conflict between Arsenal and Chelsea, has now been inserted into the heart of Manchester United like a sharp knife.

He didn't know if he had made a strategic mistake, maybe he subconsciously wanted to be like Youmo, using the strength of his opponent to create pressure, so that his proud disciples still refused to relax after winning the championship.

But he didn't expect that the opponent's growth was so fast, as if it was just a blink of an eye, Arsenal and Chelsea had become two mountains in front of him!

Go back to the old ways?

Ferguson hesitated, so he didn't wait to walk to the dugout, then turned around and walked towards the sidelines.

As soon as he walked to the sidelines, an unfamiliar and somewhat clumsy voice sounded not far away.

"It's just a ball, everyone, work hard!"

After hearing the source of the sound, all the Manchester United people were a little flustered at the same time.

It's actually this guy!

A marginal figure with a salary similar to that of a youth contract, if it weren't for the relationship, he wouldn't have appeared in this team at all, and even the guy who was just played by the opponent actually told them that these world-famous Triple Crown champions are "just a ball, everyone work hard"?

Don't they know?

Didn't they do their best?

Doesn't he know how many pounds and taels he has?

Time did not allow them to think too much, and the old man was still staring from the sidelines, so they cheered up and shouted a few times.

The game soon restarted.

The pace is still fast.

Chelsea weren't content with a 2-1 scoreline, and in addition to winning, they needed a goal difference to add weight to the final sprint. Seeing that their opponents were no longer able to fight back, the Blues players were attacking more and more recklessly.

The United, who still had a glimmer of hope, soon let down as not only did their attack not improve, but even their pride in defending began to be full of holes. In order to relieve the pressure at the back, even Ruud van Nistelrooy returned to his own half and tried to follow the ball there.

What's the use?

Ferguson wanted to call a halt to the Dutch, but after thinking about it, he shook his head in his heart.

How can you be willing to watch your competitors take away what belongs to you?

It's a good thing to be unwilling, the old man comforted himself so much.

What about David...... Are you willing to leave?

When we meet again...... Will it be like an enemy?

Those years that have gone through together...... It's so nostalgic!

"Wow!"

The exclamations from the crowd woke Ferguson, and the old man kept his eyes wide as he struggled to find the ball.

The ball was flying in the sky after hitting the crossbar, and it looked like it was just a small wave in the tide.

Is it over? (To be continued.) )
