Chapter 581: Gunslinger, Red Devil!

Less than two days back in London, Arsenal will face another league test. The opponent in this league is not ordinary, but Arsenal's old rivals Manchester United!

Although Manchester United's performance in the past two seasons has not been good, for Arsenal, Manchester United are still their sworn enemies.

When Li Zihan had not yet come to Europe, he heard a joke in China: "Are the British very gentlemen?" A: "Of course, as long as they don't drink!" "Q" Are there football hooligans in the UK? A: "Normally no, but if you go inside Old Trafford and shout long live Arsenal, they come out." ”

It can be seen that the feud between Arsenal and Manchester United has reached the point of irreconcilability.

Therefore, this round of matches has drawn everyone's attention to this battle between Arsenal and Manchester United.

This game is advantageous for Manchester United, who will not have to play in the Champions League in midweek and will not even qualify for the UEFA Cup this season. The second is that although Manchester United is a big team, the team's results have not been good from last season to this season, so the number of international players has decreased somewhat.

Originally, there was a main position in the national team, but because of the club's poor results, these positions were replaced by other players, so the Manchester United players who were not heavily used in the national team certainly wanted to be angry with Arsenal in this game, and they also had this strength.

On the other hand, Arsenal, Nkouru and Russ Bender are both injured, and the main players in Arsenal are also the main core of their national team, so they naturally have to play more games, and the chance of injury and the physical reserves of the body naturally cannot keep up.

Arsenal have little advantage other than the fact that this game is played at home.

The match between the two sides began at 6:30 p.m. GMT on November 21, which was already 1:30 a.m. the next day in China

Fortunately, it was early on Saturday, so I didn't have to worry about going to work after reading it.

"Welcome to the famous Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester, England, where PPTV brings you the 11th round of the Premier League this season. With giants Manchester United taking on their long-time rivals Arsenal, this game is the highlight of this round, and if Manchester United continue to decline, then their chances of hitting the Champions League this season are much smaller. And if Arsenal continue to win, they will be one step closer to the league title! Zhan Jun said.

"I don't know how my country's player Li Zihan has behaved, you must know that since joining Arsenal, Li Zihan has always had a surprising performance at Old Trafford"

'Let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides, starting with the visitors' side of Arsenal. The goalkeeper is Colombian Ospina, and it seems that Szczesny will have some difficulty getting back into his main position. And, according to credible sources, Arsenal have always had their eye on Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech, and of course, it is unlikely that Mourinho will send the still in-form goalkeeper to their arch-rivals Arsenal. Unless Cech himself comes forward and says that Mourinho will respect his own wishes when he sees what Cech has done to Chelsea over the years. ”

In central defence, it was a combination of German centre-back duo Merdessat and Hewedes, and on the two flanks were Arsenal's Academy youngsters Gibbs and Bellerin, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain joined Arsenal but his performance was not able to satisfy Arsene Wenger. Academy youngster Bellerin seized the opportunity and took advantage of the situation to squeeze the youngster from Southampton onto the bench.

'In midfield, German striker Rass Bender was given a break. French centre-back Paul Pogba partnered Wilshere, this is an attacking midfield pairing, I don't know what Wenger meant by this midfield combination, you must know that Russ Bender and Ramsey's physical fitness should meet this game. ”

'In attack, Ozil, Cazorla and Alexis Sanchez are on the flank, and Harry Kane is up front! Li Zihan did not appear in the starting position, and Wenger may be worried about his fitness. After all, he played a friendly match in Guangzhou, China two days ago, but don't worry, he will definitely play if necessary! ”

"Let's take a look at Manchester United, the number one Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea, who is the main goalkeeper in goal, and the centre-back partnership is Evans and Chris Smalling, a pair of centre-backs who don't seem to be very reliable, but actually not very reliable. The two wings are Argentine defender Marcos Rojo and Spanish full-back Rafael, this is a South American pair, Rafael da Silva can be regarded as Manchester United's academy product, but he has not played much, even his twin brother Fabio da Silva chose to leave Manchester United last summer to go to other teams, so if Rafael can't find his place at Manchester United, he may also leave the Red Devils. ”

"The first 10 rounds of games have made Van Gaal realise that playing in the Premier League is not suitable for a 352 formation, so in these games he changed his tactics and started to play with a back four!"

"In the midfield, Van Gaal's Dutchman favorite backfield Blind is partnered with Carrick, it seems that Van Gaal is still relatively weak about Arsenal's attacking line, so he chose a relatively defensive midfield combination."

In the three attacking midfielders, Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney is in the midfield, flanked by Argentine winger Angel Di Maria and Spanish attacking midfielder Juan Mata. This is also very strong for the attacking line, Juan Mata was the assist leader in the team and even the league when he was at Chelsea, but after arriving at Manchester United, he had to give more resources to the central striker Wayne Rooney, who retreated to midfield, and now there is another Di Maria, so Mata's number has dropped a lot since coming to Manchester United"

"At the top is Van Gaal's Dutch fellow Van Persie, originally Van Gaal's former Arsenal Gunners king Van Persie was still very happy, but he didn't expect Van Gaal to bring another striker Tiger Falcao!"

After the necessary ceremonies, the match between the two sides officially began.

There was no need to test at the beginning, and both sides launched a fierce attack. Alexis Sanchez and Cazorla churned the opposition defence with the dribble, while Mesut Ozil ran around and distributed the ball to his team-mates, while Harry Kane kept the opposition's unreliable centre-back pair at bay.

The midfield configuration of Blind and Carrick on Manchester United's side is more important, and in the face of Arsenal's attack, the two defended well, especially in the back of Pogba and Wilshere, they did a good job.

In terms of attack, Manchester United relied more on Rooney's passing and insertion and Di Maria's personal dribbling to break through, of course, Juan Mata's interspersed running and passing also caused a lot of trouble for Arsenal, and as for Van Persie, he did not have a good performance.

For Arsenal fans, it is still relatively acceptable at present, after all, Van Persie's appearance is not good.

There have been times when Arsenal fans have been so generous that they have often made fun of themselves during their eight-year titleless career, and have been called the most humorous and self-ironic fans on the planet.

But they're very stingy, and they're so petty that they treat the players they've played for. The most hated representatives of Arsenal fans are Robin van Persie and Nasri

Defending Di Maria Wenger has explained, just keep getting close. Di Maria's small body couldn't help but toss, so the task was given to Wilshere, and as for Pogba, he was going to see Rooney.

So when Arsenal locked the core of Manchester United's front, Manchester United's attack weakened a lot all of a sudden.

As for Arsenal's attack, Manchester United have no better way.

In the 10th minute, Cazorla shook off Rafael and Chris Smalling and then hit the ball directly from the middle of the penalty area, but the ball was a little right, but it was confiscated by De Gea.

In the twelfth minute, Alexis Sanchez broke through with the ball himself and then suddenly got up to shoot at goal, and the ball was saved by De Gea.

In the fifteenth minute, Mesut Ozil dribbled with Pogba and Wilshere to form an iron triangle of attacking formation in the middle, and then passed the ball to Harry Kane in the middle. Harry Kane didn't take credit and passed the football to Alexis Sanchez. Sanchez followed up with a quick shot on goal, but the ball was once again saved by Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea.

Pogba followed up with a follow-up shot that Smalling couldn't keep the ball out, but David De Gea suddenly jumped up from the ground and made a second save, this time holding the ball.

'Arsenal's attack is in full swing and Manchester United at home are only passively beaten,' said Hellhouse.

"At the beginning of the season, everyone said that the current Manchester United team is beautiful at the front and rotten at the back. But what I want to say is that Manchester United are picturesque up front, David De Gea at the back!! Zhan Jun complained.

"Well done!! David De Gea, the fantasy he made the Arsenal people a qiē is just a fantasy!! The announcer at Old Trafford said.

As for the BBC's leading football commentator, Mortensen sarcastically said: "In the opening 20 minutes, goalkeeper David De Gea became the busiest player on the pitch, not one! He is also the best player in the Manchester United squad so far!! ”

And Mortensen's partner Alan Hansen also coaxed: "If anyone wants to ruin Manchester United, then it doesn't need to be much trouble, just poach De Gea!" ”
