Chapter 384: Xiang Hao's Awakening
"Hao!"
"Hao!"
"Hao!"
…
The audience cheered, cheering as Xiang Hao rushed through the half again.
Carrick didn't understand, he didn't understand how Xiang Hao, who was still 'honest and duty' before, broke out all of a sudden.
From the moment Walcott came on, the opponent began to erupt, and the previous scene of the ball being handed to Cesc Fabregas was reduced, and it was more of his own ball to be inserted from the back.
Is he so confident, so confident that he can pass through his own half?
Carrick was quite unconvinced, and fought again and again, trying to cut off Xiang Hao's ball.
However, according to Xiang Hao's body, Carrick has no chance of crushing Xiang Hao.
Although Xiang Hao couldn't get rid of the opponent smoothly, he was quite stable with the ball, and once the opponent came over, he immediately passed the ball.
There is no problem with the opponent's defense, and there is no need for Xiang Hao to blindly take the ball and plunge into the encirclement.
But if he has time, Xiang Hao will try to dribble more and look for opportunities to rush away from the opponent from the middle.
At this time, his mind was still echoing the words that Walcott told him when he came on the court, 'Get more balls, break more.' ’
This is Wenger's instruction to Xiang Hao, let him take the ball more and let him participate more actively in the team's attack.
Since he can't get out of the emotional pressure on his own, let the game lead him to forget about those things.
Let more 'affairs' distract Xiang Hao, let his attention focus more on the game, and think about how to better take responsibility.
Wenger's unique care made Xiang Hao slowly get out of the uneasy and complicated world of thoughts, and his body began to do 'instinctively' movements.
Take two steps, sort out the offense, or go around in a circle, transition in time, and echo with the players, Xiang Hao constantly participates in the team's offense.
As for the backline, Xiang Hao also has to take care of it, but he is no longer the main defender, and the main responsibility is Denilson.
Once Xiang Hao moves forward, then Denilson will retreat more to the middle, and his position will be filled more by Fabregas.
Or Bendtner, or Robin van Persie, at this time, Cesc Fabregas's position will be pushed to the second striker, closer to the penalty area.
Such a change, staggered running, using the ball to drive, revitalized the entire Arsenal midfield.
Full focus on attack, that's what Arsene Wenger will be looking for after that.
Timely response, fast intersperse, frequent displacement...
Arsenal's pass-controlled attack came out step by step, and before I knew it, Arsenal's situation on the field was pulled back, and the threat to Manchester United slowly appeared.
In the 38th minute of the game, Walcourt made an inverted triangle pass, Xiang Hao got the ball at the front of the penalty area, and rushed away, wanting to seek a chance to shoot.
However, under the bag of Fletcher and Rooney, he couldn't shoot at all, and he pulled and paused, and finally suddenly the outside of his left foot went down to the penalty area.
Van Persie, who cut inside, struck a left-footed smash to shake off Rio Ferdinand's defence, revealing a gap and scrambling to shoot with his right foot.
Unfortunately, the Dutchman was still not used to using his right foot, did not use power, and although the angle of the ball was good, it was still judged by the brave Van der Sar to be in the right position and saved.
This goal turned out to be the only one on target in Arsenal's three shots on goal so far.
You can imagine how Arsenal's previous attack turned out.
Wenger's previous steady tactics cannot be wrong, after all, there are two away goals in hand, and there is indeed a gap in strength compared to Manchester United.
If the players really execute it and control the tempo of the game, it will be easy to play Manchester United's counter-attack.
It's a pity that Xiang Hao is really not in shape today, and he didn't have the last game, the kind of domineering that dominates the whole field.
On the contrary, today it was Ronaldo's turn to explode, and a tube full of blood was brought to the Emirates Stadium.
Running, breaking, making balls...
How comfortable and how to change, playing on the left side of Arsenal, embarrassed.
Gibbs also lost a thigh and couldn't stop Ronaldo's play.
Xiang Hao is abnormal, Ronaldo is explosive, and he has disappeared, and Arsenal's previous passivity is logical.
Now, Wenger saw Xiang Hao uncomfortable in the back, not only adding an attacking point to open up the space on the right side, but also untying Xiang Hao's shackles on the field.
It also made Xiang Hao feel comfortable, using Xiang Hao's impact in the middle to compress the living space of Manchester United players in the midfield.
As for Ronaldo, let the undead Eboue keep an eye on him, and at the same time, Denilson is ready to answer at any time.
In addition, there are Fabregas, Van Persie and others, who take turns to impact the right side where he is, which is also restraining Ronaldo's energy.
The Portuguese could not have let O'Shea face all this alone, and he would never be so dashing again.
As for their Fletcher, he is responsible for Xiang Hao, Xiang Hao is 'savage', and Carrick may not be able to bear it.
Not only is his body good, but his speed is not bad, and Fletcher feels that the other party is like Rooney in 03-04, crushed in like a beast.
That kind of physical talent, how can it not be stopped.
Especially when advancing to the front, the opponent's explosive shot was too shocking.
The Manchester United people almost had to stare at him, so they gave Xiang Hao a chance to pass the ball.
Although Van Persie's goal was not scored, it reflected Xiang Hao's strong containment of Manchester United.
Push Xiang Hao's position forward, and let Fabregas intersperse at any time to become the most erratic person.
The two most important points in Arsenal's midfield today, but also the two most depressing, are slowly beginning to recover.
A minute later, Arsenal's attack returned, and this time, it was Cesc Fabregas and Bendtner's turn to link.
Xiang Hao went straight through the middle and sent the ball to the feet of Bendtner, who was holding the ball with his back in the penalty area.
The latter, under Vidic's defense, had no way to turn around, let alone hit the goal.
Just when everyone thought he would take a step and handle the ball again, Bendtner didn't stop the ball at all, forced himself on the Serb, and slammed his right heel on, "Smack!" ”
The ball jumped on the turf and jumped behind him from Vidic's defence.
Cesc Fabregas is definitely not fast, but the moment he rushes up, he is in the top three in the Premier League.
The knock was more like the sound of a flapping flight, and Fabregas was the arrow that broke out in an instant.
"Sesk !!"
"Woo-hoo!!"
…
A red and white figure, fresh and bright, appeared in the sight of Arsenal fans, and the whole stadium followed the restlessness, and the eyes suddenly became larger, staring at the field.
With that in a hurry, Cesc Fabregas connected to the ball and before Rio Ferdinand could block it, he spun away with his left foot and "bang!! ”
In the left-hand corner, Cesc Fabregas volleyed hard.
A stone's throw away! The shouts of the fans in the stadium have been broken into their mouths, and in an instant, they can be released.
It's a pity that they didn't have the opportunity to release ...
"Smack!"
A leaping figure soared up from the turf.
It's Edwin van der Sar again, and the Dutchman has once again saved Manchester United.
"Whew!"
Sighs of regret echoed in the Emirates Stadium, and Arsenal fans felt sorry and unwilling, and sat back in their seats with a sense of loss.
"Ahh
Cesc Fabregas shouted at the sky, but he reluctantly walked to the corner flag area and prepared to take the corner.
The old man was ready to applaud and celebrate, but in the end he could only clasp his hands together, rubbing uneasily, helplessly and nervously watching the penalty of this corner kick.
As for Ferguson, he chewed gum frantically. Obviously, his heart is definitely not as calm as the expression on his face.
Wenger's decision obviously surprised Ferguson and made him feel tricky.
Not only because Arsenal began to attack, but more importantly, he saw a sign, a sign of Xiang Hao's recovery.
In the first half, before this, Manchester United was able to play so smoothly, and Ferguson knew very well that it was not only because of the excellent performance of his own players, but also because of the abnormal performance of the opponent.
It can be seen that the opponent's Hao is not in the best state.
This state does not only refer to the body, but also to the feeling of the game and the ability to read the game.
In both aspects, Xiang Hao's performance today is very mediocre, and it can even be said to be boring.
The defense is inherently unremarkable, boring but to be essential, and it's not a big deal, and the problem won't be on him.
But offensively, losing his finishing touch is equivalent to missing a link in Arsenal's attack.
It's like a pool of stagnant water, and it doesn't give people a sense of life, let alone the terrifying atmosphere like the last game.
Ferguson originally planned to enter the half-time and make good use of the opponent's extinguishing point to make some articles.
But who would have thought that he would be strained by his old opponent first.
He is also daring to take risks and push that player directly to the offensive end, and he is not afraid of being counterattacked by himself.
This risk really made him take the right risk, pushed to the offensive end, and it was obvious that Hao's vitality was recovering rapidly.
It's like an eruption that comes out without warning, and it's hard to suppress it.
In this regard, Ferguson can only envy his old rival.
His luck is so good that he can find such a genius, or a game-type genius, and the ball quotient is almost an instinctive genius.
He doesn't need special guidance, as long as the pace of the game is stepped on and the rhythm of the game is found, he can quickly integrate into the game and change the whole game.
This game is like this, Xiang Hao's state today is not good, whether it is offensive or defensive before.
But Wenger changed a tactic, allowing Xiang Hao to catch up with the node of this tactic, and he began to slowly adjust and recover by himself, and the selfless realm of the game reappeared.
Ferguson began to worry that the sleeping lion would wake up, and that it would be difficult to say.
Ferguson subconsciously clenched his fists, trying to be able to retract freely, but found that it was in vain...
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOO-OL-HAO !!"
Luke's almost frantic shout rang out, slicing through the entire Emirates Stadium.
