Chapter 36: I'm in a hurry
A war of words between the two sides, the match allowed the hostility between the players on both sides to spread from the start.
The game was very intense at the beginning, and the action of both sides was not small.
Scenes of people turning over on their backs happen from time to time.
Arsenal organised the attack up front.
Wilshere and Yelo combined in succession, and finally Yelo deflected the ball directly to give Mane a chance to play to the advantage of speed.
Sadio Mane made the most of his speed to bully Manchester United's centre-back Evans.
Start directly and rush behind Evans with speed, Evans naturally can't compare with Mane in terms of speed.
Evans had no choice but to reach for Ramane.
As a result, of course, he received a yellow card for a tactical foul.
Got a yellow card just at the beginning.
This made the camera lock on to Evans for the first time, to be honest.
Whether Evans can replace Nemanja Vidic in the main team is very doubtful for Manchester United fans.
After all, his strength still seems to be 100 million points away from the peak Vidic.
However, it can't be helped, Vidic started to suffer frequent injuries in the second half of last season.
Therefore.
Manchester United, for their part, could only start Evans and Rio Ferdinand.
Because except for Evans.
All United can use are Chris Smalling and Phil Jones.
Both of them are too young for Mourinho to worry about.
Evans made Mourinho on the sidelines very unhappy.
He felt Evans was completely unprepared to defend and he emphasised the pace of several of Arsenal's attackers before the game.
However, Evans was careless.
He shook his head slightly.
A yellow card for a centre-back can be a huge problem for the backline.
"This foul from Evans."
Andy Gray was shaking his head in the commentary seat.
'Evans was too slow in front of Mane, if there was a weakness in this game, it was probably in Evans, who was a little too young compared to Vidic, and he should have anticipated Mane's pace earlier.
"Especially the yellow card at the beginning"
Lineker added.
Patrice Evra, who wore the captain's armband in this game, was of course very unhappy with the yellow card.
"It's only been a little over two minutes and that's a yellow card, which is unfair to us!"
Evra roared.
"He had a tactical foul, and if it weren't for the defenders in the back, he would have even broken a single knife!"
The referee explained, then waved Patrice Evra to leave and prepare for the game.
Manchester United's players are very unhappy.
Jose Mourinho on the sidelines was also yelling.
But what makes the United players even more unhappy is yet to come.
Just three minutes after Evans' foul.
Manchester United were laid siege up front.
It would have been a quick break for Arsenal.
As a result, Harry Kane was caught by Ferdinand when he received the ball and turned around, he poked the ball away.
Football to Patrice Evra's feet.
Patrice Evra played the ball to Wayne Rooney's in front.
After Rooney got the ball, he made a one-two combination with Van Persie, who was close at hand.
He shook off the defenders and began to dribble inwards laterally.
In the process.
Arsenal's defenders quickly reorganized their defence, with Monreal keeping Rooney in the way.
Wayne Rooney crosses the ball to Willian.
But when Willian stopped the ball, the ball bounced.
This forced him to make some more adjustments, so that the rhythm of the continuous passing was broken.
Willian had to re-select the target of the pass.
He holds the ball.
Then, cross diagonally to Evra on the other side.
He picked the ball up.
The ball hit the arm of Fabinho, who came up to defend him.
Willian immediately raised his hands in the air and signalled for a foul on Fabinho.
The referee's whistle blows.
Sure enough, a foul was awarded.
However, Fabinho was unhappy with the decision.
He explained loudly that his arms were retracted within the confines of his torso and that he had no intention of actively expanding the range of his defense.
But the referee didn't listen to him.
Signal for Manchester United to take a free-kick.
Manchester United, too, are also very unhappy.
William made a gesture of holding a card.
It is believed that the referee should have given Fabinho a yellow card.
And on the sidelines.
Mourinho rushed out immediately.
He looked excited.
Roaring at the fourth official: "Yellow card? Why are there no yellow cards? ”
The fourth official explained to Mourinho with some headaches: "The ball was far away from the goal, and Fabinho's arm was not fully extended, which was not enough to sentence him for deliberate handball"
However, Mourinho clearly does not accept this explanation.
He believes Evans has been shown a yellow card.
Then the foul on Arsenal's side will also show a yellow card.
Arsene Wenger looked at Mourinho in the distance and shook his head helplessly.
"This guy is always so excited."
His assistant Blake smiled, "No way, that's the style of people." But then again, why is Mourinho so excited? ”
It stands to reason that the foul wasn't enough to make Manchester United's side so excited.
After all, it's just a normal handball foul.
One is not much out of the body, and the other is not a danger zone.
Even the ball hitter - Willian didn't have time to collect the ball when he passed.
It would be too much to give a yellow card.
"No way, this home game is too important for Manchester United!"
Arsene Wenger said.
"This guy is under a lot of pressure and he's definitely trying to prove himself this season. Didn't you see that he used all kinds of tricks before the game? ”
"If they want to compete for the title. You can't afford to lose at home."
Arsene Wenger had a smile on his face.
"It's not necessarily a bad thing for us. Mourinho is in such a hurry, then their players must be in a hurry too. ”
"The opponent is not in a stable mentality, which is definitely a good thing for us!"
Arsene Wenger was right.
Even Jose Mourinho is so excited, then the Manchester United players are even more excited.
They even got almost a minute closer to the referee because of this.
'The players at Manchester United are excited, they seem to be a little too excited. But it also illustrates. How the players of Manchester United want to win this game! ”
'Manchester United are so excited, but it's just a very ordinary handball.
'There's a lot of pressure on Jose Mourinho.
"Manchester United at home desperate for a win!"
On the commentary seat, the commentators said one after another.
Old Trafford was booed.
But in the end, the referee could not have listened to the Manchester United players and gave Fabinho a yellow card.
After all, the referee was not sent by Manchester United.
United's free-kick did not pose much of a threat and the ball returned to Arsenal's side.
Arsenal's goalkeeper Szczesny put the ball in the six-yard box and then passed it to Fabinho, who dropped back to get the ball.
Then Arsenal's squad began to press.
Even when playing away, Arsenal are not conservative.
