Arsenal played with all the main players, and so did Manchester United.

Especially Xia Xing, who just finished playing Burnley, still starts.

This caused Wenger to shake his head again and sigh.

It's a pity, it's a pity.

If he is more ruthless and determined, maybe Xia Xing will be wearing an Arsenal shirt against Manchester United now.

But what is missed is missed, and there is no point in regretting.

Now is the best choice.

In the Arsenal team, even if there is no outstanding talent as Xia Xing, there are still a lot of talents in the team.

This game must be won!

The players from both sides finished their warm-ups, received instructions from their respective coaches in the locker room, and ran onto the pitch.

The referee blows the whistle and the game begins!

Arsenal were the first to kick off and they tried to find the back of the net from the start.

A continuous pass in the midfield, the ball suddenly slanted into the far end of the penalty area!

Welbeck keeps up with the push!

The ball is slightly out of the way!

Arsenal missed a great chance to score!

Still, it also made the Manchester United soldiers break out in a cold sweat.

This is just the beginning......

If it weren't for Welbeck's substandard shot, I am afraid United might have conceded the opening goal.

Mourinho on the sidelines was also a little dissatisfied, shouting at his players to hold on.

Xia Xing on the pitch was also appropriately positioned to retreat.

He could see that Arsenal were attacking fiercely today.

For Manchester United, who are good at playing fast attack, it is more beneficial for the opponent to press out.

So Xia Xing retreated and organized the defense.

If you want to take advantage of the psychological advantage of the fast break, you must ensure that you do not concede the ball.

Once the score is down, then the United players are bound to be anxious, which will inevitably affect the quality of the counter-attack.

So in the opening stages, Manchester United took the lead and defended steadily, and then waited for the opportunity to attack.

But Arsenal didn't care.

They lined up with a back three for this game, and they just didn't care about Manchester United's fast attack.

They plan to use wonderful passing to make Manchester United's fast attack unable to play!

Arsenal had a very high forward pitch in this game, with centre-forward Olivier Giroud in the lead, and put a big nail in the Manchester United penalty area.

Needless to say, Sanchez is an absolute thigh-level figure for Arsenal, with a good passing and playmaking.

Welbeck, on the other hand, has a poor footwork, but he has excellent impact, great body and speed, and has a great tactical effect.

So in the opening period, Arsenal's forward line was very active.

The root of the active forward line is the passing support of the midfield.

Arsenal's midfield configuration today was very targeted.

Ramsey, Xhaka, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, all three are good passers, and each of them can play a big role in the passing tactics.

And all three of them also have the ability to attack the goal with one kick, and they can shoot forward at any time.

Walcott on the wing, although not as fast as he was at the beginning, is still more than most on the field, and with his improved breakthrough skills, the attack on the wing is more threatening.

In the early hours of the game, Arsenal's midfield worked well together and were often able to play a series of one-kick passes.

If it weren't for Xia Xing's midfield organization and defense, I'm afraid Manchester United would be in danger.

Ramsey's long-range shot just now slid out of the net and scared De Gea.

It's a good shot with a good angle of power, it's really good......

Arsenal attacked aggressively, but they never found the back of the net.

This made Wenger on the sidelines a little anxious.

The more this was the case, the more regretful he looked at Xia Xing.

The two attacks just now, if it weren't for Xia Xing's precise card position defense, maybe they would have passed into the penalty area, and maybe they would have scored.

In the 20th minute of the game, Sanchez kicked the penalty area

The ball slid out of the goal.

It was Arsenal's fifth attempt on goal for the opening day, and it all came to naught.

Manchester United, on the other hand, have been brewing and waiting for their chance.

Finally, they waited.

In the 37th minute of the game, a wide attack by Arsenal.

Right-back Bellerin sprinted with the ball and tried to use his speed to tear apart the wide defence.

But it's a pity that he met Xia Xing, who is also at the top of his speed.

Xia Xing was organizing the defense throughout the game, which made the Arsenal players ignore his pace.

Bellerin sprints fast, and Xia Xing is close behind!

The two were on the same page without the ball, but Bellerin was driven with the ball!

Xia Xing kicks out!

The ball is broken!

Bellerin stumbled, Arsenal stumbled!

Xia Xing broke the ball, without hesitation, and made a long pass directly!

The ball flies to the far end of the goal!

Mkhitaryan rushes into the box and volleys back before the baseline!

Ibrahimovic shoots in front of goal!

The ball goes into the net!

1 to 0!

Manchester United scored first!

Arsene Wenger on the pitch slammed the guardrail of the dugout!

Of all the Premier League coaches, no one understands Mourinho better than him.

It would be a pain to put his team ahead by one goal.

Sure enough, after the goal, Mourinho made the team's midfield line shrink appropriately, and the defensive counterattack played more resolutely.

In the end, Manchester United temporarily led 1-0 in the first half.

At half-time, Mourinho looked at his players solemnly: "Guys, I think I need to explain. We scored a goal and it was great and I'm happy you guys did a great job. But then I ask you to hold on. Arsenal have no hope left for the season and are left with the FA Cup stage left, so their desire to win is even stronger. In this case, the more eager they are to win, the easier it will be for them to make mistakes, so we defend solidly, wait for them to make mistakes, and hit them!"

Xia Xing nodded.

Wait for the enemy to wear themselves out.

It's a pretty sound tactic.

Especially now that the players' fitness is severely reduced in the latter part of the season, reducing the frequency of full-court pressing can allow the players to conserve energy.

Such a tactical arrangement is very ingenious, and it is okay.

In the second half, it did.

Manchester United retreated across the board, and Arsenal continued to attack but to no avail.

Three attacking players were changed in a row, and the formation became 3-3-4.

But even so, under Xia Xing's defensive organization, Arsenal's onslaught was interrupted continuously.

Not only that, but United's occasional counter-attacks were effective and threatening.

If it weren't for some bad luck, I'm afraid the score would have been expanded a long time ago.

Arsene Wenger on the sidelines was even a little anxious.

In the 87th minute of the game, Manchester United once again played a wonderful fast attack.

Xia Xing's midfielder organized the defense, wrapped the ball, and the ball fell to the feet of right-back Valencia.

Valencia crosses diagonally to the middle and hands it to Lingard, who retreats to receive the ball!

Lingard stops the ball and turns around and accelerates the sprint!

Shoot low straight from the edge of the box!

The ball hits the net!

2 to 0!

Manchester United extend their lead!

Excitedly, Manchester United fans shouted loudly and applauded!

At this time, the Arsenal fans were booing!

The boos even drowned out the applause and cheers of Manchester United!

At this time on the sidelines of the pitch, Mourinho sighed under his breath.

Old man, I've heard this kind of booing too......
