Fabinho is indeed handball.

But to say that he is also quite wronged.

Because he was very active in defending, he rushed into the box on the run, only to have Van Persie shoot in the middle of the run

You'd be hard-pressed to say that Van Persie did it on purpose.

But the fact is that Fabinho on the run didn't have time to withdraw his hand.

This kind of ball.

It is okay to judge, or not to judge.

It's all in the referee's thoughts.

The reason for the penalty is, of course, that Fabinho blocked the path of the ball, and if it is not, there is also a reason: Fabinho's hand is not too open, and it is a natural swing of his hand during the run to maintain his balance.

"I'm here to keep my body balanced!" Fabinho looked at the referee with a look of incredulity.

But the referee was unmoved, and he obviously would not change the decision.

The rest of the Arsenal players were hoping the referee would at least not award a yellow card.

After all, Fabinho is the player who has taken on more defensive tasks in midfield.

Mikel Arteta and Wilshere are more attacking.

Although they will also be involved in defence, they will be more of a central midfielder with Arsenal forming an inverted triangle in midfield.

When the two of them pressed on the attack. Fabinho had to be dragged back and became a single midfielder.

The importance of his position in defense cannot be overstated. 、

If Fabinho gets a yellow card in this position, the hardness of the midfield defense will not be reduced by a little bit.

Once the opponent counterattacks, Fabinho does not dare to do many defensive moves, and the defense is a bogey.

The impact of his yellow card is even greater than that of a centre-back.

Since the midfielder has a greater range of motion than the centre-back, he is more likely to get another yellow card than the centre-back.

Now Fabinho has a yellow card on his back and he will be restrained when he defends.

At that point, Arsenal's midfield defence will be porous.

Although the Arsenal players want the referee to show mercy.

However, the referee was very stern at the moment and resolutely showed Fabinho a yellow card.

"Fabinho! Penalty, yellow card! This time, Arsenal's midfield defense is going to be a problem! ”

'It's not over the first half yet, and Wenger can't make any substitutions. There was also N'Golo Kante on the bench. ”

"Kante is too young for him to handle the pressure of such a heavyweight match."

The commentators in the commentary table shook their heads and said.

"Manchester United at home is going to get on the ground!"

It's easy to judge.

United were awarded a penalty and the main defender of the opposition midfield was also booked.

Manchester United are also playing on their home turf.

If Manchester United can't get off the ground, then Manchester United is unlikely to become the number one club in the Premier League.

Manchester United's first penalty taker was Robin van Persie.

As Manchester United's leading scorer last season.

Van Persie snatched the spot as Rooney's first penalty taker back in the second half of last season.

This is also normal, although Lu Xiaopang claims to be the only superstar in Great Britain at present.

But in Mourinho's hands, Lu Xiaopang doesn't have much time to be in charge.

It is two or three seasons between the departure of Ronaldo and the arrival of Robin van Persie.

In the past two or three seasons, his statistics have been quite luxurious.

He has also scored more than 20 goals in a single season.

However, after Van Persie came, Lu Xiaopang became the second-in-command again

Van Persie also lived up to expectations.

The penalty was easily converted.

Szczesny guessed completely in the wrong direction.

The Dutch shooter is still quite solid.

Van Persie was also quite excited after the goal.

Although it was a penalty.

But at least now United have equalised.

And he scored in this game as well.

Surpassing Yelo in the scorer charts?

Van Persie didn't have that idea – it was clearly impossible.

But.

When the two sides face each other head-to-head.

Beat Ye Luo's head.

The number of goals in a head-to-head duel surpassed Yelo's guts, Van Persie has, and it's big.

It wasn't long after that goal that the first half was over.

Players from both sides walk off the pitch.

The camera is on Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho now has no anger on his face.

Instead, with a smile.

In the first half, Manchester United were quite impressive.

Facing Arsenal, who have been quite strong this season.

Manchester United were unrelenting at home and stubbornly equalised after conceding first.

The fighting spirit and attitude shown by the team have made Mourinho very satisfied.

So now Mourinho can imagine the prospect of his side taking the initiative in the title race after a home win over Arsenal.

Once the overtaking is completed in the standings.

That Manchester United.

It won't be easy to catch up!

This.

Mourinho is still confident.

His team is strong!

This strength is not only reflected in the squad but also in the spirit of the team.

The group of people left behind by Ferguson.

Although many people criticize many people, the absolute strength of many people is not at the superstar level.

But

They win in their mentality.

They are a group of champion players who are used to winning championships!

There is such a group of people.

Mourinho has a lot of confidence!

Inside the away team's dressing room.

Morale on Arsenal's side is a little low.

After all, they were the ones who were equalised in the first half.

Arsene Wenger did not criticise them, but was very light and did not pay much attention to the first-half equaliser.

"It's nothing, we were mentally prepared for a difficult game in this stadium, didn't we just get an equaliser, and we scored a few more of them in the second half! Fabinho"

Arsene Wenger looked at Fabinho.

"Don't go in the second half, after all, you have a yellow card."

He's going to bring on N'Golo Kante.

Fabinho nodded in understanding.

Arsene Wenger then made the second-half arrangements.

He asked Yelo to make a greater contribution.

Ye Luo nodded.

He is now the backbone of Arsenal.

Especially in difficult situations.

And in this game, Manchester United's performance really needs Yelo to show more performance.

What is Core?

The core is the person who stands up at the critical time.

Otherwise.

Is he embarrassed to receive the highest salary in the team?

As which one has the highest salary.

At a critical moment.

You also need to be able to contribute accordingly.

The other side.

Jose Mourinho is also planning his second-half tactics.

'Willian was in good shape for the game, so we focused around him in the second half! Robin, you try to get as many shots in the box as you can in the second half! ”

Mourinho looked at Willian and Robin. Van Persie said.

Willian is in good form.

But in essence he is not a shooter.

If you want to look at the finishing ability, you still have to look at Van Persie.

And Willian's dribbling drive can create a steady stream of chances.

'Maybe they made a substitution in the second half, maybe not. If they don't change Fabinho, then hit him this point!! ”

"If they make a substitution, that's okay, we continue to look for a breakthrough in the middle, but the purpose of the breakthrough here is not to open the gap, but to attract their defence, and when their defence is concentrated in the middle, then play the ball to both sides and create chances through the combination of the side and the middle!!"

Jose Mourinho constantly moved flags on the tactical board to symbolize the position of the players.

Manchester United's players, on the other hand, watched intently.

Second.

The two sides returned to the pitch and the camera was the first to focus on N'Golo Kante, who was standing on the sidelines waiting to play.

"Manchester United are going to make a substitution, Kante replaces Fabinho, Fabinho is now carrying a yellow card, if he continues on the pitch, I am afraid he will be the target of Manchester United's key attack."

Mourinho looked at Wenger not far away, and said in his heart, sure enough.

He felt a little smug in his heart.

The other party's arrangement and substitutions were all seen through by him.

This gave Mourinho a bigger psychological hint: In this game, we have the advantage in all aspects!

Arsene Wenger sat calmly in his seat.

This game as long as you don't lose.

A draw is acceptable to him.

Anyway, the team is now leading the standings, still on the road.

Bring home a draw away from home.

Wait for the second leg on their home turf.

It would be nice to beat Manchester United again.

The league is still a long one.

There's no need to worry too much about winning or losing a game.

He looked at Yelo, who was standing on the field.

I looked at Mourinho who was standing on the sidelines. 、

"I'm afraid the Portuguese still don't know how powerful Yelo really is, right?"

Arsene Wenger sits firmly on the Diaoyu Tai.

The second half of the game begins.

Arsenal are on the attack!

Yelo's range of motion has increased to support the midfield.

Cazorla's injury did have a big impact on the team, but Yelo's pullback made up for it.

Yelo expanded his range of activities.

This forced United to contract, and Arsenal quickly took control.

Wilshere's pass was like a cruise missile pinpointing Yelo's position.

Ye Luo headers the ball a little.

The football fell at his feet.

In the face of Carrick's defense, he flicked the ball with his right foot.

The flicking of the ox's tail stunned Carrick at once.

He hadn't reacted yet.

Yelo passed by him.

Fortunately, Carrick had defenders behind him to help fill in the position.

Rio Ferdinand was in a key position right away.

Yelo didn't force a shot either.

He has better options.

Diagonal pass!

Football passed by Ferdinand.

Sanchez was already in the box by this point.

Catch the ball and shoot!

The ball flew under De Gea's armpit into the goal.

As a result, Sanchez didn't have time to rejoice, and the referee's whistle blew.

The assistant referee on the sidelines has raised the flag.

"Offside!! Ahhh Sanchez's goal was actually offside! ”

Duan Xuan held his head in both hands.

Many Dragon Country fans also expressed their incomprehension.

"Is this ball offside?"

"It's not quite offside."

'Misjudged, huh? ’

"It wasn't necessarily a miscalculation, it could be intentional."

The fans were upset.

Arsenal's players were even more unhappy.

They gathered around the referee for an explanation.

And the replay of the televised broadcast proves that the ball is indeed debatable.

At the time of Yelo's pass.

Sanchez and Rafael, the defender who dragged in last place, were almost parallel.

It's really hard to say if there was an offside position.

But now there is no VAR, and there is no offside line.

So it can only be the referee who has the final say.

Since it was blown offside, it could only be offside.

The game continues.

Manchester United take a free-kick at the back.

In midfield, Manchester United couldn't hold down Arsenal, so they opted for a big kick-off.

Wayne Rooney won a little up front and crossed to Robin van Persie not far away.

Van Persie received a pass from Wayne Rooney and turned to shoot.

The soccer ball hits the defender and goes out of the line.

Manchester United won a corner.

Manchester United's corner, Carrick got the ball on the periphery and shot long, the football didn't hit the power, and was directly hugged by Szczesny.

Szczesny threw the ball away with a strong hand.

Yelo got ahead of Patrice Evra, took the spot, and then dribbled forward.

Evra tried to knock Yelo out with his body.

As a result, it was bumped.

But it hit Ye Luo in the back.

Ye Luo's body did not lose its balance, but was hit by Evra, adding a forward speed, and he started at once!

Evra, on the other hand, lost his balance and fell to the ground because of the exertion.

Yelo made it through the midfield.

"Fight back! Counterattack!!! ”

The commentators chanted.

Old Trafford. 、

Shrill boos suddenly swept through the stands like a tornado.

All Manchester United fans are desperately booing!

But it didn't work.

Ye Luo is already fully up to speed!!

In front of him were only four Manchester United defenders.

Raphael!

Carrick!

Evra!

De Gea!

The rest of the United players are desperately trying to get back into defence.

If it's another player.

Maybe in this case.

Will choose to control the ball and wait for the support from the back row to come up.

But this is not the case with Ye Luo.

This is a great opportunity.

If you slow down the speed.

It is likely to turn into positional warfare.

A counterattack turned into a positional attack, and Ye Luo was naturally unhappy.

Raphael fell directly to the ground, put the shovel, very fierce, and the spikes flashed cold and kicked towards Ye Luo's ankle.

He paid attention.

Even if you pay the price of a red card, you have to stop Yelo!!

"Raphael!"

The commentators exclaimed.

The hearts of Arsenal fans are going to jump out.

"Get out of the way!"

But Ye Luo didn't jump and dodge.

He chose to speed up!

Keep accelerating!

It's like stepping on Hot Wheels.

Straight in front of Raphael's shoveled soles!

Rafael tackles the ball and save.

At the same time, he also passed through Carrick, who assisted in the defense.

Ye Luo's trip.

All at once, Raphael and Carrick were over.

Now in front of him is only Evans.

Evans fought and retreated.

He wanted to stay in place.

But helplessly, Ye Luo's speed was too fast.

He couldn't have a hind leg, so he could only meet it head-on.

Evans went straight to the ground and planned to knock Yelora to the ground.

However.

Ye Luo easily passed Evans with a simple change of direction.

Such a situation left the United fans in the stands dumbfounded.

The three defenders were easily passed by Ye Luo in a flash of lightning.

Now all that remains is goalkeeper David De Gea who could save their team.

De Gea has left the door.

He quickly pounced on Yelo.

Yelo got the ball a little bigger past Evans.

So De Gea felt he had a chance.

He spread his arms and stretched out his range as much as he could.

Ye Luo caught up with the ball in two steps. 、

In the process of running.

He looked at De Gea's position.

The ball jumped on the tip of his right foot.

Football jumps.

Fly over De Gea's head.

De Gea immediately bounced.

The tip of the finger rubbed slightly against the ball.

De Gea's eyes lit up.

The body is fully stretched.

I looked in the direction of football with anticipation.

Soon, the joy in De Gea's eyes turned to fear.

In his gaze.

Football did change direction a little.

But.

That's not enough to stop.

The soccer ball crashes into the net.
