The most flexible point in Manchester United's attacking line is Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, in terms of space utilization, the Red Devils have lost the effective tear of the opponent's lateral defensive width from the front when the wings are flying together.

This made Arsenal more and more comfortable after three successful defences.

Perhaps the most unfavourable for Manchester United in this game is not the absence of Ryan Giggs.

It's that there are too many hidden dangers in the back line!

I still remember when Neville was in the line, Reyes could only kneel for Neville on the left side, and now?

O'Shea was no match for Qin Xiong at all.

If Qin Xiong is a pure wing player, then it's okay.

But Qin Xiong is not, his cross-cut long-range shot is a huge threat, and it is difficult for Fletcher to help O'Shea defend to freeze Qin Xiong.

Coupled with the fact that Rio Ferdinand-Brown Silvestre's other three defenders are not very stable, United's midfielders will have to step up their defensive protection and will not be able to provide more support in attack.

They were able to put in just four players in attack, while Arsenal used at least six of two lines to block United's attack, and in a tug-of-war, Arsenal's defence began to lay the upper hand and the Reds went nowhere.

In the 29th minute of the game, Qin Xiong was on the left side in front of the penalty area, and suddenly rubbed out a kick with his right foot and crossed the arc ball!

The ball goes from behind Ferdinand to the back of the box and Ljungberg cuts into the box with a header!

It's a pity that he is too upright.

Three minutes later, Qin Xiong repeated his old trick and once again used his right foot to rub the outside arc around the back line of Manchester United's defender to make a cross.

Ferdinand was already prepared, and at the moment of Qin Xiong's pass, he turned around directly. Then combine the trajectory of the soccer ball flying. He wanted a header cleared. But the ball was so fast that he was stunned to find that he had headed the ball in the direction of his own goal!

When the football flew out of the bottom line against the goalpost, Ferdinand broke out in a cold sweat!

Manchester United began to focus more on blocking Qin Xiong's left wing.

But this is exactly the situation that Qin Xiong wants to see.

In the 36th minute of the game, Qin Xiong dribbled forward on the side, and after breaking through O'Shea from the outside line with acceleration, O'Shea quickly chased back, Qin Xiong suddenly stopped the ball behind him with his heel, and then stopped sharply by himself. Turn around and regain control of the ball and dribble down the middle.

In front of Fletcher, Qin Xiong swayed left and right, pretending to dribble to the direction of the penalty area to deceive Fletcher's center of gravity, but he instead took the ball to the periphery.

At this moment, he saw Kean, and Kean also saw him, and Kean, who had fierce eyes, immediately rushed towards Qin Xiong, and Qin Xiong passed the ball behind Keane after Keane just ran two steps, and at the same time, his eyes became more and more vibrant, and there was a sense of recklessness and ridicule in it!

When Keane looked back, he saw Cesc Fabregas rushing forward to receive Qin Xiong's pass.

In fact. This is the real killer move of Arsenal in this game!

Use Qin Xiong as a side containment point to create a tilt in Manchester United's defensive center of gravity, and then turn to the middle to instigate a fatal blow!

Cesc Fabregas has arrived in front of the United penalty area. Brown didn't resist his impulse, he stepped forward to intercept, Cesc Fabregas made a decisive move, Bergkamp ran diagonally and Rio Ferdinand followed.

Bergkamp flanked the goal, the ball rolled behind on the right side of his body, Rio Ferdinand already had physical contact with Bergkamp and he would not give Bergkamp any chance to shoot with his feet.

However, Bergkamp did not stop the ball at all, and when the ball rolled behind him, he tapped the ball horizontally with his right heel!

Cesc Fabregas played the ball and ran towards where Ferdinand had been, where the most obvious gap in the box was as Rio Ferdinand was taken away by Bergkamp.

At this moment, the football rolled here, and Cesc Fabregas met the ball calmly to observe Carroll's position, and then fired a push into the bottom right corner of the goal!

Carroll was powerless, he had just run back from that side, but Fabregas fired a countercut that he didn't even have to adjust his center of gravity for, and the ball had already rolled into the goal.

Manchester United players were like a thunderbolt from the blue, some players looked at Qin Xiong, Keane, Scholes, and Fletcher surrounded him in full force, but he didn't run forward at all in the attack just now!

Ferguson told him before the game to be careful of Qin Xiong's back-cutting, which is one of the characteristics of Qin Xiong's attacking tendency to score key goals in many games this season.

But this time, Qin Xiong knew what his mission was.

Pin down your opponent's defense!

He did his job brilliantly, and then his team-mates did their job and their goal was born!

"Arsenal have scored! Young Spanish talent Cesc Fabregas makes a contribution to the team! Scoring goals in such an important game will definitely stimulate his development, and Arsenal are really happy, they have two new stars in the midfield coveted by the giants of Europe! Qin Xiong worked very well as a winger today, he paralyzed Manchester United's right wing-back attack, and showed a huge threat in his personal possession breakthrough, this attack was his instigation from the wing, O'Shea and Fletcher failed to break the ball at his feet, Keane gave Cesc Fabregas space to move forward in order to defend him, when there is only one line of back facing Arsenal's attack, such a defense must be fragile, Bergkamp's idle heel is brilliant to do the ball, another, Another Arsenal-style goal! ”

Fabregas didn't know it when he rushed to the sidelines to celebrate after scoring a goal, his expression looked so distorted that it was almost impossible to tell if he wanted to laugh or cry!

After missing a penalty in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, his psychological pressure almost broke down, but it was the encouragement and help of his coach, teammates and friends that brought him out of the shadows.

Now on the stage of the FA Cup final, he scored the first goal for the team and scored the crucial goal, which gave him an outlet for the most negative emotions buried in his heart!

With this catharsis, he will face his career better in the future.

Qin Xiong came to him, reached out and hooked the back of his head, put his forehead against his teammate who was still crying and laughing, and shouted at him, "You have scored!" Either shout it out, or laugh at the cheers of the fans, or you can be colder! But it should never be the expression of the present! Don't overthink it, Sesk, you're an Arsenal hero now! ”

Cesc Fabregas swung his right fist heavily, lowered his head and raised it with determination, showed his fist to the cheering Gunners fans in the stands before walking back to his own half with his team-mates.

Ferguson shook his head from the sidelines.

Manchester United has a lot of problems in the rebuild, in addition to the polishing of young players, there are still hard injuries in their own configuration.

Rio Ferdinand lacks a good partner, Keane in the midfield position is also aging, his form has dropped significantly, and the wing-backs lack the ability to assist, and the goalkeeper is also a stubborn problem that makes Ferguson sleep.

How easy is it to rebuild a club that can stand at the pinnacle of European football? (To be continued......)
