Chapter 482: Hand-picked by the Spear King
Regarding Barcelona's performance, He Xu was actually a little surprised. After that game, He Xu, who watched the live broadcast at home, quickly dialed Liang Zhao. He really couldn't believe that Barcelona would be beaten 0-3 by Liverpool, although Sturridge and Suarez are in good form now, but it is not so terrible, right? What's more, their mediocre backline actually limited Barcelona's attacking players.
Liang Zhao's voice was very tired, obviously he couldn't accept this score, he had been rigidly restrained throughout the game, no matter what method he used, it was difficult to get rid of the opponent's defense. The Japanese striker Inouekawa, who was standing opposite him, seemed to be familiar with Busquets, and easily got a lot of opportunities from him, and it was obvious that a striker of Suarez's level would not waste so many good opportunities. In addition, Messi, who is no longer young at this time, is indeed difficult to score goals like before, and today he even beat the only single knife in the whole game of Barcelona. His steps really didn't seem to be as light and fast as they used to be.
Liang Zhao only said a few words and then hung up the phone, He Xu heard Guardiola's voice on the phone, it seems that Gua Shuai is not so satisfied with the performance of his disciples today, he may have to preach well. With a score of 0-3, the situation is really not so optimistic. The defending champions can't stop at the round of 16, right?
However, He Xu didn't have much attention to his brother, because his team was about to face a strong opponent in the league. At this time, Manchester United finally had the momentum of recovery under the leadership of Van Gaal, who had regained his plus number. Coupled with the fact that they are still targeted reinforcements, it looks like their performance is okay at the moment. At this time, it is in fourth place in the league. And the ranking continues to rise.
In the first leg at Old Trafford, Arsenal comfortably beat old rivals who were still in the relegation zone at the time. At that time, Manchester United had not yet found their form, and many of the main players were injured and were exploited by Arsenal at will (which was naturally their own idea), at this time they were wondering how to be ashamed, but it seems that Arsenal will definitely not intend to give them this opportunity. Arsene Wenger is very carefully arranging his squad and his players very carefully, and Arsenal have home advantage.
When He Xu and Rooney stood side by side at the entrance of the players' tunnel, Rooney, who was already thirty years old, whispered to He Xu, "Young man. Don't always fight so hard! The future is all yours, and you should give old guys like us a chance. After all, we don't have much time left, so you don't have to be so cruel......"
He Xu just smiled, after all, the current Rooney had not shown mercy to Shevchenko and Henry back then.
Rooney also knew that what he said was just a joke, so he didn't continue to communicate with He Xu. The two men led their players onto the pitch, and a big battle was about to begin. Everyone knows that Arsenal is strong in the Premier League at this time, but everyone knows that Manchester United is desperately seeking a counterattack at the moment. Such a collision will never fail to be exciting.
'The Manchester United players wore the white away shirt today and they were in one formation today. 4-1-3-2', goalkeeper David De Gea, Luke on the left. To the right of Shaw is Zhang Dele, and the two defenders in the center are Marcos Rojo and Chris Smalling. The single midfielder is Marouane Fellaini. Valencia on the right, Di Maria on the left, and captain Wayne Rooney in the midfield position. The two strikers were Falcao and Robin van Persie. This is United's strongest squad at the moment. Duan Xian said.
Zhang Lu, who was sitting opposite him, looked at Arsenal's somewhat different position from the past, "Arsenal's formation today is a bit strange!" These three in the middle of the midfield. Massimo. Charlie and Fell and Tang Lintian seem to be standing in a straight line? What is this because of this, which is a tactical change? Or is it confusion about the opponent? Besides. Arsenal are still the same '3-5-2' as before, goalkeeper Mariano. Arini, the three defenders De Vrij, Godin and Chen Boyan, so it seems that Massimo should be a central midfielder today, right? He's in a very high position. ”
Wenger didn't pay attention to the outside world's evaluation of the formation, he just touched his chin and looked at He Xu and Garrincha who kicked off. These players have been getting better and better lately, and they are all able to make reasonable adjustments based on their own judgment on the pitch. Thierry, maybe the boy you picked up with me at the beginning can really achieve more brilliant results than you did at the beginning. For example, take the Big Ear Cup or something.
Sitting in the stands in sunglasses and a hat, Henry leaned back comfortably and watched the games of his juniors, far less nervous than he was when he first played. What's more, what does Henry think now, the kid he recommended with Wenger has a tendency to surpass himself, and he was able to run rampant in the Premier League at the beginning, not to mention He Xu?
"Let's watch He Xu dribble the ball, a button! Get rid of Smalling and break in! Dodge Rojo's tackle! Dangerous! ”
In addition to his strong speed, He Xu's skills in getting rid of the ball in a small area and flashing and moving are also very good, but these are not as good as his unpredictable but extremely accurate shot at the end.
“Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!” The commentators at the scene shouted excitedly, and the fans in the stands were very cooperative with waving He Xu's jersey, as well as Arsenal's scarves and team flags. He Xu, who had completed the goal, stretched out his right hand and pointed it at his fans, which triggered cheers and shouts from the fans.
Henry couldn't stop talking, this Chinese's shooting is really good, if France also have such a striker, maybe they can do a little better, I don't know when Benzema will be able to open his mind!
Although De Gea is already a top world-class goalkeeper, he is still helpless in the face of He Xu's shot, after all, he really didn't expect that the guy in front of him could actually complete a shot from the penalty spot in the middle of the march and hit the ball directly into the upper left corner.
1-0, Zhang Dele looked at Smalling, who was shaken by He Xu's feint and almost fell to the ground, grabbed him and whispered: "Change the guard!" I'll deal with He Xu, you go and see Royce on the side! Dealing with his pure speed, you shouldn't be as difficult as dealing with He Xu, right? ”
Smalling nodded as if amnesty, and switched places with Zhang Dele with a grateful face. In fact, Zhang Dele didn't have the confidence to be able to stop He Xu, but he felt that he was more familiar with He Xu than Smolin after all, maybe I could find his flaws? is still the same division of labor, Zhang Dele is at the top in the front, and the back is behind to make up for the defense.
After kick-off, Wayne Rooney attempted a long-range shot from 30 yards out, which hit the back of the net but was met by the alert Mariano. Arini pounced. Falcao's follow-up shot was blocked by Chen Boyan on the goal line, and Van Gaal jumped up in a hurry when he saw this, shouting and urging his players to strengthen their running and passing in attack.
Compared to the fat man with a fat face and jumping up and down, Wenger sat there much calmer, and he quietly looked at his disciples, knowing that they themselves would react quickly to Van Gaal's arrangement.
Van Persie's corner kick, Falcao's header was directly caught by Mariano, "Hey! I said, "You can't do that!" Do you want to play in the Champions League these two times? Oh! By the way, you didn't play in the Champions League this year! ”
Hear the taunt of the donkey goalkeeper. Manchester United players are trembling with anger, as a giant club, they all have a strong sense of honor, and they will naturally not be happy to be ridiculed like this.
Di Maria shouted for 30 seconds in Mariano, just in front of the penalty area with the ball twisting his thin body into the penalty area, after the wonderful pass, Di Maria vigorously kicked up, but unfortunately did not hold it down, but instead knocked the ball away, after the wonderful pass, the football went directly to the stands.
The Manchester United fans sighed in regret, and Mariano shouted again, "Oh, this shot, how does it look like a defender clearing!" Angel, did you play winger or full-back before? Did you make a mistake when you registered? I think it must be like this, you can admit it! Okay? ”
In the face of Mariano, who was a villain, Di Maria could only grit his teeth fiercely, greet the bastard in his heart, and turn and retreat.
At the end of the first half, the score was 1-0, and although United were behind, they saw hope because they had a few attacks that actually caused a lot of threat, but they were not very lucky.
The former "King of Highbury" sat in the stands, watching with satisfaction as his handpicked successor walked off the field and back into the locker room that he had used for a while.
As soon as he entered the locker room, Mariano burst out laughing, "You didn't see it!" Di Maria was so angry with me that her face was not good, haha. If they continue like this, they won't be able to score in the second half! (To be continued......)
