Chapter 0544, there is no need to doubt it at all
As soon as the game began, Arsenal launched a round of onslaught.
The continuous passing in the front field made Manchester United's solid defense very tight.
If it hadn't been for David De Gea's brilliant save, I'm afraid they would have conceded the goal.
It's dangerous.
Mourinho, who was on the sidelines of the pitch, took a sip of water at the beginning of the game, and only swallowed it hard until now.
Arsenal were fierce in this game.
For Arsene Wenger, a win today would give them a good chance of returning to the top four.
If competitors fall aside.
But if they lose, they could even drop out of the top six.
So they have to win this game.
For Manchester United, they also need to keep winning, take three points and keep leading the table.
Also, this game has a special meaning for Manchester United.
In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer counted Manchester United's Premier League wins this season.
"Manchester United have had a good start to the league this season.
"Two 4-0 sweeps against West Ham and Swansea have kept Manchester United at the top of the table, where they have been until now.
"Back-to-back wins over Leicester City, Stoke City, Everton, Southampton and Crystal Palace have kept Manchester United in the lead.
"The 4-2 victory over Liverpool allowed Manchester United to win domineering in the strong dialogue, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
The 7-0 win over Huddersfield Town was a great way to attack.
'The next successive wins over London sides Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea saw Manchester United overcome the odds.
"The sweep of Newcastle again made the goal drought of Manchester United's forward group self-defeating.
'Small wins over Brighton and Watford take United's streak of league wins to 14!
"They have equalled Arsenal's record of 14 consecutive Premier League wins in 2002!
"And now, with the previous record setter in sight, a win against the Gunners would make new history!
"Manchester United this season is likely to surprise the fans!"
Alan Shearer was in high spirits, and Carragher pouted.
"If you look at Arsenal's offensive just now, it's not that simple for Manchester United to win.
"I don't think it's easy to win this game, even if you want to draw.
"You can't even score a goal......
As Carragher spoke, the court changed in an instant!
Carrick in the middle made a quick move and cut off Arsenal's short pass!
Ozil's pass was a little too casual and the Gunners' counter-attack was interrupted!
Rear air defense is empty!
Carrick didn't hesitate and went straight forward!
Xia Xing quickly ran from the left side to the middle and received the ball!
In the middle of the lane, he sprints at high speed!
Ozil chases back with a bad pass!
But Xia Xing directly used his body to resist and fly out!
This weak chicken still wants to fight with Xia Xing!
Ramsey and Xhaka followed up quickly, but Xia Xing took the ball forward and accelerated the sprint!
Directly shook off the defense of the two!
Mustafi grabbed it, Xia Xing changed direction, and it was light!
Koscielny keeps up with the shovel!
Xia Xing tapped the ball again!
The ball passed under him in advance!
Xia Xing followed, stabbing deftly before Cech attacked!
The ball goes straight into the far corner of the goal!
"The ball is in!
"1 to 0!
"Manchester United opened the scoring!
"Ten minutes into the game, Manchester United scored the first goal!
"You know, Arsenal have been attacking just now!
"But United took a counter-attack and they scored!
"It's so exciting!
"Well, speaking of which,
"Who just said that it is not easy for Manchester United to score a goal?"
Carragher on the side did not speak, staring carefully at the video replay.
But I really can't fault it.
There is no offside, foul or anything......
Listening to Alan Shearer's taunts, Carragher simply did not speak.
Love it.
Manchester United scored the first goal, which left the Arsenal players a little low.
It's so devastating.
We couldn't go on and they scored on a casual counter-attack.
Arsene Wenger on the sidelines cheered his players on the pitch loudly and slapped them in the face.
Several veteran players on the pitch also encouraged each other, allowing the young players to get out of the mentality of conceding the ball as soon as possible.
Think about it, it was the Ballon d'Or winner and the Premier League's number one star who scored the goal, and it was balanced.
The mentality is much calmer.
However, the Gunners will not admit defeat, and they will not give up their style of football.
Next, Arsenal still adheres to the pass-and-control style of play, and there are frequent wonderful passes and passes in the frontcourt.
And Manchester United also gave them the position in front of the penalty area very generously.
Play casually, it's okay.
Pass outside, just don't go into the box.
This made Arsenal's attack awkward.
In the face of this kind of dense defense, Arsenal really don't have much to do.
Their striker Alexandre Lacazette has good individual qualities, but he is not the kind of top striker who can change the game on his own.
Physical fitness is not at the top level either.
So with Chris Smalling and Bailly watching, he did little.
And several players in the midfield also lack strong heavy gunners.
Without crosses and long-range shots, two sharp weapons to break down dense defences, it is too difficult for Arsenal to score.
Arsene Wenger frowned on the sidelines and turned to look at Jose Mourinho.
This abominable Portuguese!
You are obviously at the top of the league, why are you embarrassed to set up an iron bucket with us?
Damn it!
But it's this kind of targeted defense that keeps Arsenal at bay.
In the 33rd minute of the game, Arsenal were in trouble.
A set-piece defense in front, the ball was pushed out of the box by Smalling!
The ball landed at Xia Xing's feet!
This time the Arsenal players are crazy to press!
Surround Xia Xing and don't let him advance!
But this time Xia Xing didn't plan to rush forward!
He pauses and waits for his teammates to move!
Out of the foot, straight stopper!
Rooney jumps forward!
With the ball, he wiped it and directly passed the Monreal who grabbed it!
On the line of the penalty area, kick up and shoot!
The ball hits the net!
2 to 0!
Manchester United scored another goal!
They extended their lead over the score!
Arsenal's successive onslaughts failed, but Manchester United relied on a few counterattacks to break the goal!
Wonderful pass-and-run coordination!
Excitedly, Xia Xing rushed to Rooney and hugged the old captain tightly!
Rooney was also smiling, enjoying the congratulations of his teammates and the joy of scoring a goal.
The Arsenal players had serious expressions.
They were two goals behind.
Is there still a chance in this game?
So far in the first half, there were not many chances for United.
But more than half of the shots on target are enough to make Arsenal fans tremble from time to time.
And now that they are two goals behind, can they be recovered?
Even Arsenal fans are a little skeptical......
Soon, they were completely unsuspicious.
In the 45th minute of the game, just as the fourth official raised the time card for two minutes of injury time, Manchester United's fast attack resumed!
Arsenal were visibly tired, with a heavy physical drain under the onslaught.
This time it was Manchester United's turn to attack in front!
To the surprise of Arsenal fans, this time Manchester United actually started to pass in the midfield!
It's what Arsenal do best! (End of chapter)
