When a score is behind, it is natural to strengthen the attack and want to get the score back as soon as possible. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
With a lead by one score, it is natural to pay more attention to defense and want to keep the results of victory.
Manchester United did not want to attack and stop the attack, but with the rain stopped, from the lead suddenly to the backward side, Arsenal is like a wounded beast, desperate to put the front on the premise, the players on each line are actively moving forward, Manchester United's line is compressed so that it can only be tightened back.
This is actually Moyes's instructions, in fact, in the Ferguson era, this team played hard, but in some games, they were better at counter-attacking. David Moyes has inherited that, after all, it is now United who are in the lead, and the counter-attack is the least effort and the smartest option.
The two teams began to collide fiercely on the field, Arsenal's crazy attack, Manchester United was tough on defense, and the away team's fast passing style of play was really unguardable, often before the saves were in place, the football was transferred out at a very fast speed, and Manchester United had a feeling of being played around.
Arsenal used this skilful and quick passing to play a couple of beautiful combinations in a row, including some shots that threatened the United goal. Under the loud roar of Moyes on the sidelines, the defensive movements of the Manchester United players gradually became bigger, preferring to foul and bring people down rather than give Arsenal a chance to "walk the monkey".
Of course, they pay attention to where the foul is, after all, Arsenal have a free-kick master level player in the team, and they don't dare to be too reckless, once Arsenal's attack is in danger zone, their movements will be smaller, at least not easily.
The match quickly turned into a wrestling tournament. Under Manchester United's fierce and foul style of play, the anger of the Arsenal players has gradually risen, the players of the two teams push me, I knock you over, the field is already slippery, so that the players of both teams are almost mud figures.
It was also from this time that the referee began to get busy, and in just a few minutes, he showed a total of three yellow cards, one for Flamini, and one for Manchester United, Fletcher and Nani each received one.
The fiery atmosphere of the "national derby" began to be strongly rendered in the final period of the game.
"I thought that Arsenal and Manchester United had changed their minds and the two teams could get along peacefully, but now it seems that in another 100 years, the two teams will still not like each other!"
"Oooo......oo The referee showed mercy and only verbally warned Fletcher, and the Arsenal players protested to him...... Fletcher has to be careful, he already has a yellow card on him, and if he does it again, he will have to be gone! ”
Rooney picked up the ball in midfield and Mesut Ozil rushed out from behind and knocked Lu Xiaopang to the ground...... The referee also did not play a card...... Ha, the two teams are really on the bar, and no one wants to suffer anyway! As long as you dare to foul me, I can take you down! ”
'I think at this point Arsenal should focus on how to score a goal rather than fighting Manchester United, who are behind at the moment...... Maybe this was Moyes's plan? He just wants to make things chaotic and it will be better for Manchester United! ”
Arsene Wenger was also a little unable to sit still, and several players were called over by him, gave a few words, and then began to warm up on the sidelines.
The muddy battle between the two teams went on in the 80th minute, and the score was still 2:1, unchanged, and Manchester United took the lead.
At this point, Arsenal made a substitution, with Wilshere and Podolski coming on to replace Flamini and Giroud respectively.
The purpose of replacing Flamini with Wilshere is simple: to strengthen the passing ability of the midfield. Wilshere has a good passing technique, which can greatly share the pressure of Qin Shou. Of course, Wilshere is not as good as Flamini defensively, but now that Arsenal is behind, Wenger can't care so much, if the score is not changed, it will definitely be a loss, what does it make if you lose one or two? Give it a go, and maybe there's a chance to come back to life.
As for replacing Giroud with Podolski, it was a counterpoint substitution, Giroud's performance today was very average, he was tall, he was a little unstable in the next set, playing on a slippery field, there was always a slippage, and he didn't play his role as a high point at all.
And now that the rain has stopped, Wenger intends to use Podolski, a faster striker with better technique at his feet, to make a splash.
In the current situation, players with good skills at their feet are much more useful than mere point-grabbing players.
Arsene Wenger's substitution was timely and had an immediate effect.
In the 84th minute, the new Wilshere sent a through pass in front, Podolski's erratic reverse run received the football, and after turning around, it was a powerful shot.
De Gea's reaction was quick indeed, with a sideways pounce that slotted the ball out with one hand, and the fast-arriving centre-back Ferdinand cleared the ball out of the box.
Although the goal was not scored, it was extremely threatening, and the home fans were shocked into a cold sweat. scored two goals in a row to exceed the score, Manchester United fans were as if they had suddenly been injected with hormones, and they were all excited, cheering and singing did not stop, and there were even ridicule and ridicule during the process, as if they were watching Arsenal play.
Podolski's shot was a shock to them, and it made them understand that the game was not over yet, they couldn't laugh so early, it was just a ball gap, maybe at the end of the game, their smile would turn into crying.
The game is getting more and more intense.
And Arsenal's attack is still in waves.
A minute later, Qin Shou took a long-range shot from 28 meters, and the ball went slightly over the crossbar.
In the 87th minute, Ozil was brought down on the left near the sideline, this position was too far away, Qin Shou was difficult to shoot directly, and finally Ozil passed the football into the penalty area, Podolski's point-grabbing shot did not hit the power, and was tightly held in De Gea's arms.
In the final stretch, Arsenal's attack intensified, but their luck was a bit unlucky, coupled with United's unanimous defence. Never scored again.
Ninety minutes into the game, the referee made a gesture for three minutes of stoppage time.
"Three minutes of stoppage time! It's the last three minutes! If Arsenal can't do anything about it, then they will have to wait for the second leg of the league to get back on the pitch! ”
"Now let's see if Arsenal can score in the face of adversity and Manchester United can withstand the pressure!"
"Although the heavy rain affected the excitement of the game, I have to say that this game is still full of highlights!"
The commentators continued their work from the commentators' seats, and the fans in the stands continued to shout. The fans of the visiting team still did not give up cheering for the team, and some fans even closed their eyes and made a prayer gesture. The home fans were singing and dancing, cheering for the team and looking forward to the moment of victory.
Of course, no matter how loud the shouts of Arsenal fans are, they can only be drowned out - tens of thousands against 1,000 people, such a comparison, the voice of Arsenal fans is completely suppressed.
However, the suppression is suppression, and the away fans did not give up, and they still kept shouting.
And the Arsenal players on the field also seemed to feel the power from the fans, or rather, their persistence finally touched God. In the first minute of stoppage time, Arsenal had another good chance to score.
It was a direct pass from Wilshere again, and this time it was Sanchez who was in the running position. The Chilean striker received the ball and turned around and made a shot at goal, which caused Vidic, who was close to the defense, to reach out to block, but Sanchez was just a feint, flicked the ball, and was about to rush into the penalty area.
Vidic didn't dare to let him into the penalty area, and in desperation, he had to reach out and pull him down.
When pulling, Vidic seemed to think of something, and was so frightened that he quickly loosened Sanchez's jersey, but it was too late, Sanchez's body was pulled suddenly, and the referee also clearly awarded a direct free kick at the top of the penalty area.
Vidic's face was very ugly, but he was helpless, and finally he could only sigh and shake his head.
Old Trafford also fell silent suddenly. Everyone understood what a set-piece in that position meant, with panicked looks on the faces of the home fans. And the Arsenal fans who reacted allowed smiles to crawl all over their cheeks.
"Qin!"
"Our Qin!"
"Hah! Manchester United bunnies, are you looking for? Actually fouled in this place? Hahaha! ”
More than 1,000 away fans laughed and shouted uncontrollably, and although the free-kick had not yet been awarded, they were reassured. Qin Shou's super high free kick goal rate makes them feel uneasy. It was a direct free-kick that was destined to go in. It was a free-kick that was destined to make Manchester United fans extremely uncomfortable and nauseous!
At this time, there was a cold night breeze blowing, and the rain, which had just stopped for more than ten minutes, gradually dripped down again, and the bean-sized raindrops hit every corner of the stadium, as if crying for Manchester United's goal.
"It's raining again!"
Qin Shou stood in front of the football, feeling the cold rain hitting his face, and muttered to himself.
He remembers standing in the rain in that game a few years ago before his free-kick broke through the curtain and through the United goal.
Qin Shou smiled suddenly. He didn't look at his team-mates, he didn't look at the wall in front of him, even though he knew everyone was looking at him, but all he had in his eyes was the goal.
Qin Shou took a breath lightly and began to run, the raindrops were left behind him, and the grass under his feet was stepped out of the shallow pit, and when he looked at it again, Qin Shou had already finished running and stood in front of the ball.
The football has already shot, like a cold knife light, cutting through the haze, cutting through the rain curtain, and going straight to the goal!
