Although Arsenal stabilized the situation.

But at this time, most of the commentators are not very optimistic about them.

Some commentators were praising Manchester United's performance.

Other commentators are criticising Arsene Wenger's conservatism.

They believe that Arsenal's conservative counter-attacking strategy at home is the root cause of Arsenal's current situation. 、

If they had taken advantage of the home momentum, they might have a two-goal lead by now.

However, the commentators are standing and talking without back pain.

If Arsenal do press the attack and are counter-attacked by Manchester United, they will probably criticize Arsene Wenger's recklessness again.

So.

Soccer coaching is really a stressful job.

Because on the football field, there are pros and cons to any tactical choice.

There can be no tactical system in this world that is completely free of weaknesses and loopholes.

At this time, the television broadcast gave Wenger a close-up.

At this time, Wenger was already sitting in the coach's box, his face expressionless.

No one knows what his attitude is to the current situation.

But now everyone knows that the pressure on Arsene Wenger during Arsenal's eight-year titleless spell has been gradual.

Arsenal fans don't think about the team's input.

Most Arsenal fans also feel like they are a strong contender for Manchester United in the Premier League.

So even Arsene Wenger ended up being out of class because of his grades.

That's competitive sports.

It's brutal.

Warmth is sometimes only based on grades.

In fact, Arsene Wenger has nothing better to do now, he doesn't have many cards to play.

But

Arsene Wenger has an ace in his hands.

So, he wasn't in a hurry.

Because he saw the team stabilise and that was enough.

Even if you can't equalise in the first half, that's okay because there's still a second half.

The situation was indeed as Arsene Wenger had predicted.

After taking the lead, Manchester United did press up and grab a wave.

But after finding that it didn't work, they honestly returned to their own half.

There is a benefit to the 442 formation.

It can greatly compress the space when defending.

Four defenders, four forwards.

The division of labor is clear, and both the middle and side lanes can be taken care of.

That's why many English teams are still sticking to the 442 formation.

This very old formation used to appear together with the WM formation - the legendary 2332 formation.

It was football from antiquity.

There were no offside rules back then.

So there was a formation of 5 defenders and 5 attackers.

At that time, football had no midfielder and no tactics were required.

Just drive the ball past the midfield with a big kick – no offside anyway, the strikers just press on the opponent's goal line and head the ball into the goal.

And with the advent of the offside rule.

Modern football tactics and formations began to revolve around the offside rule – 442 was one of the first formations to appear based on the offside rule.

And even now, the formation of 442 is still very often seen in the mainstream leagues.

Of course.

There are not many giants who are still playing 442.

But many teams in the middle and lower reaches are still playing in this formation.

Why?

It's because this formation works so well on the defensive end.

After their formation was recycled.

It's not easy for Arsenal to break through easily.

After Yelo won the ball in the middle, he found that the opponent was very dense in the middle - Manchester United players were afraid of Yelo's long-range shot.

Long-range shots are not good.

Then try to break through!

Ye Luo suddenly started, changed direction, and hit the edge of the penalty area, but there were still many Manchester United defenders in front of him, and it was really difficult to break through.

Ye Luo looked at the time.

It's now the thirty-eighth minute of the second half.

Since the breakthrough and long-range shots are guarded by the other side.

Then send the ball to the wing.

Manchester United is dense in the middle, and there will inevitably be space on the wings.

'Yelo split the wing, Cazorla picked up on the wing, Monreal came up and Arsenal started to get the ball around the United penalty area during this period, which is a good sign'

Cazorla catches the ball and buckles to the baseline. Stop-and-go cross!! Ye Luo!!!!!! ”

The narrator's voice suddenly became high-pitched.

The Emirates Stadium, which was originally a little silent, suddenly burst into cheers!

Cazorla had made a posture to go down, and Manchester United's defenders certainly didn't dare to slack off, with Rafael and Nani coming over to defend.

Right now.

Yelo was also cutting in into the box, and he ran into the space behind Vidic and Rio Ferdinand.

Cleverley was supposed to be in charge of keeping an eye on Yelo.

As a result, Ye Luo suddenly stepped forward and threw him away at once.

Seeing Yelo's movement, Cazorla made a sharp stop, dodged the space and then did not hesitate to cross with his right foot.

The football passed between two Manchester United players, Rafael and Nani.

flew to the front of Ye Luo's running position.

"Nice straight stopper! No offside!! ”

The narrator exclaimed.

At the same time, Nemanja Vidic and Ferdinand recycled inside at the same time, and Cayelo shot the line!

They all didn't go to fight Yelo for speed - because they didn't have confidence in their speed and were worried about being passed by Yelo.

It's the right choice.

Ye Luo was also going to shoot directly with his feet.

But his right-footed shot was mostly blocked by Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand.

Forcing your feet is nothing more than shooting the ball at them.

It doesn't make much sense.

Cleverley was chasing back, Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand were blocking the line and the rest of the United players were shrinking.

As long as Yelo shoots or stops the ball, the defence is more than half successful - unless Yelo is lucky, it will be difficult for him to shoot through the United defence in such a situation.

United's players are confident that they are close to success in defending this time.

But they still underestimated Ye Luo,

Ye Luo did not shoot directly at the goal, nor did he stop the ball, but took a step out and directly let the ball come over and turn, and did not shoot with his right foot, but pumped the ball with his left foot to the opposite corner of the other side!!

Such a treatment.

It was indeed a big surprise to the Manchester United players.

Because the ball from Cazorla is very fast, Yelo has to concede the ball, turn around, and volley again.

The connection speed needs to be very fast.

Otherwise, football is over.

Therefore, when Yelo stepped out, Cleverley thought that Yelo was going to stop the ball, so he immediately pasted it, ready to entangle Yelo, and wait for his teammates to support, as a result.

His post happened to be used by Ye Luo.

Yelo pressed Cleverley and turned with him as the axis, then whipped his left foot like a whip on the rolling football.

Bang!

The soccer ball is attached to the ground.

With a very fast ball speed, from a very narrow line, drilled into the bottom right corner of the goal!
