Xiao Qing didn't care about the boos at Old Trafford, he didn't care how he would be treated away from home, because what Xiao Qing needed was to help the team score goals, and what he needed was to help the team win the game in this game. Although Xiao Qing knows that he is very unpopular at Old Trafford, he really doesn't care, because what he wants is to help the team go further, and what he needs is to help the team get out of the predicament.

There is no doubt that Arsenal's current situation is really not very good, Arsenal's proud attack can't play at all at this time, Arsenal now has no way to break through Manchester United's midfield defense to organize the attack, Arsenal can only waste Xiao Qing's strong point and can't form a threat in the game.

It's all bad for Arsenal because they know that the most important thing Arsenal need in a game is to score goals, what they need is to play with the rhythm of the team. Being led by the nose is not good news, especially against a team like Manchester United, and once Arsenal lose their rhythm, then it is also very likely that they will fall into passivity, and they may not find a way to win the game because of this.

So what Arsenal needs now is to find a rhythm in the game, what they need is to get out of such passivity quickly, the longer Arsenal is held back by Manchester United, the greater the crisis. Because it's the tempo of Manchester United now, they have had plenty of time to adjust at this point because they can really use their current advantage to find holes in Arsenal's defence in the game.

Arsenal cannot afford to expose their shortcomings to United's eyes and now need more self-protection. They really can't be so overwhelmed.

Xiao Qing knew it was time to step up and help the team. Although it is true that there were quite a few difficulties in the competition. Although now Arsenal has no way to form a more haode attack. But at such a moment, Xiao Qing can't just passively wait for his teammates to create opportunities, and now Xiao Qing needs to use his strong performance to help his teammates create opportunities.

In the 21st minute, Xiao Qing's test shot from outside the penalty area on the right rib went directly to the far corner. A minute later, Fletcher's cross from the right flank was met by a poorly cleared header by Jurou, and Nani's sweeping shot from the right side of the box grazed the far post. Twenty-fifth minute. Wayne Rooney's shot from the left side of the box is again parried by Szczesny. In the 30th minute, Xiao Qing accidentally handballed the ball when he cleared Manchester United's cross from the left wing in the penalty area, but the referee refused to award a penalty.

Xiao Qing shouted loudly at the referee with wide eyes, this was an obvious handball, but the referee didn't see it at this time! Xiao Qing is really unhappy, maybe in this game it is difficult for Arsenal to get more offensive opportunities than this, Arsenal must grasp every advantage. But it's a pity that the referee didn't pay attention to Arsenal at this time, and he even missed this crucial decision as if he was against Arsenal.

Although Xiao Qing was pulled away by his teammates, perhaps the referee who knew that he was at a loss did not punish Xiao Qing because of Xiao Qing's fierce remarks; But in the end, Arsenal lost at this time, and the team was originally passive. But now that such a crucial penalty has been missed, the Gunners are holding their breath in their hearts.

The ensuing race was fierce. Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson both had unhappy decisions. For Manchester United, they have a lot of experience against Arsenal; Although Manchester United have never been a rough team, they have rarely had a bad reputation defensively. But against Arsenal, they are used to being tough, because they know that Arsenal's style of play is soft, and as long as they use stronger attacks to make Arsenal lose their rhythm, then they are likely to be able to gain more advantages in the game.

The former Arsenal may have been a little soft, and they were often at a loss when facing teams with a strong style of play; But Arsenal are not so weak now, they have the confidence of a champion team, their players are becoming more and more confident and strong on the pitch, and they simply don't allow the team to be violated too much in the game, especially when their opponent is a team like Manchester United.

Arsenal and Manchester United are fighting for every inch of territory, and their battles on the pitch are quite fierce; The players of the two teams are also angry in this increasingly fierce competition, and their actions on the field are getting bigger and bigger.

In the 35th minute of the game, Arshavin was caught by Fletcher when he cut inside, and both players collided together without the slightest concession; Arsenal's players naturally thought Fletcher had committed a foul, while United's players naturally thought Arshavin had deliberately hit someone. So the scene was very hot, the players of the two teams were naturally pushing and shoving at this time, and the players of the two teams who did not like each other seized this opportunity to completely ignite the smell of gunpowder on the field.

Although the referee's hurried whistle made the players of the two teams quickly pulled away, although the referee was merciful and did not show a yellow card warning, but seeing the players of the two teams muttering and leaving with an unhappy face, it is enough to show that the players of the two teams are now angry, and they are now more impatient with their opponents.

Xiao Qing is of course unhappy with Manchester United's players, and he also knows that the current Manchester United players must be very dissatisfied with him; But they came to fight on the pitch, Xiao Qing didn't come to make friends with the players of Manchester United. The smell of gunpowder is the smell of gunpowder, Xiao Qing doesn't care about these at all, and even he still looks forward to this, because a stronger smell of gunpowder will stimulate the fighting spirit of the players of the two teams, and they will perform more intensely in such a key game, and such a game will be more interesting.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Chamak directly kicked down Nani in the backfield and was yellow carded. In stoppage time, Arshavin tackled Fletcher when he lost the ball at home and tackled Fletcher and also took the initiative to apply for a yellow card.

Arsenal are tough now, even tougher than Manchester United; Whenever Arsenal come up with some of the more brutal fouls, the Gunners will surely counter-attack with more ferocity in the next leg. And the current Arsenal is not Sven's team. They just need to show more ferocity than Manchester United.

The head-to-head clash between Arsenal and Manchester United is indeed exciting. Since Vieira and a group of Arsenal veterans have left, Arsenal has not been so tough for a long time; But now Arsenal seems to have regained their iron will, although they may not be as tough as the tough Arsenal, but in the face of a team like Manchester United, Arsenal does not have the slightest weakness.

The first half was 0-0, with Arsenal and Manchester United drawing at half-time; The players from both teams walked quickly to the tunnel because they knew that the first half of the game did not mean anything, and the second half was the key. For Arsenal. The second half will be a duel between them and Manchester United, and although Arsenal were passive for a period after the start of the first half, Arsenal became more and more aggressive, and the Gunners slowly turned the tide.

It's good news and a good sign for Arsenal; Because they withstood the pressure, because they showed the style of the defending champions in the game, Xiao Qing and his teammates were basically satisfied with the first half of the game, because they did not fall behind in the slightest.

As for Arsene Wenger, he was also very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, although Arsenal was very passive for a while, but what pleased him was Arsenal's tenacity in the face of difficulties, which was unprecedented toughness in Arsenal in recent seasons. So Arsene Wenger is confident. As long as the team continues to do so, they will surely be able to walk away with a win at Old Trafford.

"Lads. You've done a great job, keep it up like this! Wenger, who was very pleased with the team's performance, was naturally not shy about complimenting his players, "We are the defending champions, we are the league leaders. So we need to be more confident in the game, we are the best team, and Manchester United are just the catch-up behind us, they are still a big gap with us. So you need to be more confident in the game, you should understand that we are in control! ”

'I need you to maintain that confidence and form in the second half, maybe Manchester United will be tougher in the second half, but you need to understand that Arsenal are the most Haode team, you need to be tougher than them! No team can beat Arsenal and you need to understand that this is the confidence that a champion team should have! We didn't have to worry about it at all in the second half, we had more initiative and we could wait for them to make mistakes. Boys, be patient and keep your toughness so we can win the game and they'll make mistakes first! 'Arsene Wenger is confident because Arsenal are getting better and because the Gunners want to see it at the moment.

Xiao Qing can naturally understand Arsenal's current advantages, in the standings, Arsenal is now up to 10 points ahead of Manchester United, which also means that it is more difficult for Manchester United to catch up with Arsenal; A draw would be acceptable for the Gunners, but it is unacceptable for United as they need to close the gap in such a crucial game and this is their most likely chance to snipe at Arsenal.

The Gunners are in control now, so they don't need to panic at all, they just need to be a little more patient and they just have to wait for United to make a mistake. Arsenal can now wait for United to make a mistake and they can be relatively unburdened in the game.

Therefore, Arsenal, who know the advantages of their own team, will have the main task in the second half to play to the advantages of the team, and the task for them now is to be more patient in the game. And once United make a mistake under intense pressure, it's time for the Gunners to strike the lethal blow.

So the Arsenal players are confident, they're waiting for United to make a mistake, they're looking forward to the start of the second half; Because they all know it's time for Arsenal to perform, because they know that Arsenal are going to take advantage of their opportunity to take out Manchester United at Old Trafford!
