Chapter 480: Lu Xiaopang, who is difficult to support alone
Chapter 480: Lu Xiaopang, who is difficult to support alone
Silence, absolute silence!
Quiet, absolutely quiet!!
At this moment, the Old Trafford stadium is silent and the pin drop can be heard! Almost all of them had the same expression - their mouths were wide open, and they were staring blankly at the court!
“GOOOOOOOOOAL!!!” It took a long time for even the commentator to react!
"Smash!! Lee's shot was like a standard tennis-style smash!! Simply!! Wonderful to the extreme!! ”
"Oh my God, Fellaini's foul didn't stop the goal" The pitch commentator at Old Trafford was also incredulous!
"Two to zero!! No, it's 0 to 2!! With a brace from Lee Zihan, Arsenal have taken a two-goal lead on away goals on their arch-side's turf and now have a bright future ahead for Arsenal
The referee was also stunned for a moment, he wanted to blow Fellaini for a foul and then give Arsenal a penalty, but before the whistle was blown in his mouth, he saw Li Zihan score the ball.
If he hadn't been the referee, he wouldn't have had a subjective element, and he would have wanted to yell when he saw this goal - this goal is so fucking beautiful!!
So Webb simply blew the whistle and pointed very cleanly to the center circle - the goal worked!!
Arsene Wenger stood on the sidelines and swung his fist hard. These days, the media is constantly looking for "trouble" with Arsenal, which also makes the professor very aggrieved, and now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Taking a deep breath, Wenger seemed to want to keep the meadow-scented gas in his body.
Clapping his hands encouragingly at the players on the field, the professor turned to sit in the dugout, now he can relax, at least Arsenal should have no problem in the first half - well, he is actually worried that his teammates will come over to hug him and celebrate, his old waist can't withstand them tossing like this!
This time Li Zihan didn't hug Wenger, after confirming the goal. He jumped up from the ground with all his might, and it was only then that he noticed the grass stain on his mouth. Li Zihan lifted the jersey, wiped the grass stains and mud off his mouth, and then raised his right hand with a smile at Fellaini, raised his index finger, and shook it.
The taste of sarcasm and provocation speaks for itself!
Li Zihan never took the initiative to stir up trouble, but if the other party took the initiative to stir up trouble, he was never afraid of things. It's like the admonition given to him by the director of the orphanage when he left the orphanage and set foot on his own to the university and society - "Don't cause trouble, but don't be afraid of it!" ”
Fellaini didn't notice Li Zihan's movements, he just stared blankly at the goal behind team-mate David De Gea.
What the fuck is alive, and you can score goals like this??!!
'The Manchester United and Arsenal meetings have always been one of the best parts of English football, and now the new Arsenal and post-Ferguson Manchester United are carrying on the legacy of their predecessors. Making your opponent unhappy is your greatest pleasure!! ”
After Arsenal celebrated their goal, Webber called Marouane Fellaini to him and spoke to him as his players returned to their positions.
"Oh, and referee Webber called Manchester United defender Marouane Fellaini to his front and gave the Belgium international a verbal warning. This is undoubtedly the right approach, after all, the game has only been played for seventeen minutes now, and Fellaini has already made a lot of fouls against Li Zihan, and where everyone can't see, I don't know how many small actions have been made. ”
'It's out of the protection of the players, but Fellaini's movement is too big. Judging from the moment when Li Zihan was pushed from behind, if the goal had not been scored, it would not be an exaggeration to give Fellaini a red card! ”
Webber has already given Manchester United a lot of face at home, and Fellaini's action just now is no problem for Webber to give him a yellow card.
When the camera lens swept to Ferguson in the stands again, the old gentleman did not shake his head helplessly at this time, but frowned.
Obviously, he doesn't have the heart to think about how awesome Li Zihan is now, he is thinking about the situation facing Manchester United. Seventeen minutes to go two goals down, and it's still their home stadium. The game is not over yet, so what the final result will be is not yet known. But even if United equalise or pull one goal in the end, the challenges ahead for the Red Devils will still be huge. Arsenal, who have two away goals in their hands, will be very active when they return to home in the second leg, and they only need a 1-0 win to knock Manchester United out.
And this game counterattacked two goals and ended the game 4-2. Even Ferguson couldn't have imagined that if Manchester United still had such a bull, they would not be ranked seventh this season.
And in the last round of knockout rounds, Manchester United almost planted a heel on the weak team Olympiacos, if it wasn't for the second leg back at home to turn the tables, maybe this game has nothing to do with Manchester United.
The Manchester United players on the pitch clearly understood this, and Wayne Rooney was not yet the captain at this time, but that didn't stop him from stepping up and waking up the fighting spirit of his team-mates.
"We're going to attack! We needed an equaliser! Let the Arsenal people understand that this is our home stadium and this is Old Trafford!! Rooney said this to his team-mates at kick-off!
Sure enough, after the game restarted, the shameful Manchester United launched an offensive.
Wayne Rooney played the ball straight to Van Persie, but Van Persie didn't take his chance, and before he could make a move, the ball was poked out by Flamini.
Seeing that teammate Robin van Persie was still not in good form this game, Rooney felt that he could not waste the opportunity by giving the ball to "Robinman".
When there are no reliable teammates in the front, Rooney has to be a little alone at this time, because at this time, the only person who can threaten the Arsenal goal the most is Xiao Chubby himself.
But he was too far away from the opponent's goal, and he had no chance to enter the box to shoot. Because Ramsey has been following him closely, once he reaches the heart of the front of the Arsenal penalty area, the Welsh midfielder immediately sticks up!
In the end, Rooney could only try a long-range shot from the edge of the box!
The quality of the ball was very high, and it found space directly from the box and flew towards the goal.
Although there is a lot of criticism about Szczesny, he is not an ornament after all. Jump straight and confiscate Rooney's long-range shot!
At this point in the game, Moyes's set-up problems were exposed.
Many people wonder why Moyes gave such a starting lineup. In the midfield, the attacking ability is very weak, in fact, in this case, it is necessary to let the breakthrough players like Shinji Kagawa and Nani burst out, and maybe find an opportunity. Even the youngster Januzaj is not bad, Cleverley is not good at all in attack, and Carrick is more defensive. And after Fellaini was blown up by Li Zihan a few times, he couldn't see how much ability he had.
As for Valencia, he didn't even have the courage to shoot. Van Persie was barely visible throughout the pitch and the Dutchman's form has been up and down since a few injuries this season.
And Rooney in the front field is difficult to support, many times he retreats to the front of the penalty area to help the team defend!
Manchester United, who originally wanted to play steadily, was very embarrassed after Li Zihan scored two goals in a row. Defend but can't defend, attack and can't attack
In the 22nd minute, Rooney made a beautiful breakthrough with the ball in the middle. He directly used his body to resist Flamini, and then continued to dribble the ball himself.
Ramsey crossed in front of him and Lu made a pass to Van Persie, but his body burst past the Wales midfielder. Ramsey, who wanted to use his body to card the opponent, couldn't do anything when he encountered an opponent with a body like Rooney, and he was directly squeezed away by Lu Xiaopang
Rooney broke through Ramsey and went directly into the penalty area, facing Koscielny's defense, Lu Xiaopang turned the ball to the left, and it seemed that he was going to cut inside from the gap between Koscielny and Merdesart!
Koscielny immediately stretched out his foot to poke the ball of Lu Xiaochub, and then used his body to jam the opponent's inside line.
After seeing that the French central defender was fooled, Lu Xiaochubby immediately. He dunked the ball back and twisted his body past Koscielny's left, the outside.
Lu Xiaopang, who seized the opportunity, immediately shot with his legs, and the ball ran towards the Arsenal goal again.
Szczesny was in a very good position and he was able to pick up the angle from which Rooney shot. When the ball came, he swooped out.
Although he couldn't save the ball in the end, he still saved the ball from the bottom line and made contact with Rooney's very threatening attack!
Szczesny, who stood up, snarled at the backline in front of him and expressed his displeasure. He said that the opposition midfielder broke through into the box with the ball all the way from near the midfield, and made a very dangerous shot, which was a poor defensive job of his teammates.
Indeed, after scoring two goals in ten minutes, Arsenal's players are inevitably a little flustered, and it is easy to not be at full strength when defending
After all, the World Cup is coming, and no one wants to fight hard with a mortal enemy like Manchester United in this situation.
Arsene Wenger also spotted the team's complacency, and he immediately smelled danger. Once again, the professor came to the coaching area on the sidelines and expressed his displeasure to the players on the field.
The meaning he expressed to the team is very obvious, if anyone wants to come down and rest, he will make a substitution immediately! Anyway, the likes of Podolski, Vermaelen, Rosicky and Arteta are very keen to play
Taking advantage of this dead ball opportunity, Wenger also called Ramsey and Li Zihan to him, gave instructions to the team, and asked the two to convey their meaning to the whole team
