"Hello, everyone, I'm your old friend Morris."

"Hi everyone, I'm Raman, and we will still be explaining for you today. The focus of the twenty-sixth round of the Premier League, Manchester United vs. Arsenal, is about to begin."

"This is Kintiger's first visit to the Emirates Stadium since he became the manager of Manchester United. In the last league game, Manchester United relied on Van Persie's last-minute free kick to win a thrilling victory, allowing Arsenal to pass from Old Trafford empty-handed. Return. I believe that this time the encounter, the two sides will be able to continue to collide with sparks, let us wait and see."

"Let's introduce to you the starting lineups for the match between the two sides. As for Arsenal, today they have a 4231 formation. The goalkeeper is Szczesny, and the defense line from left to right is Gibbs, Koscielny, Mohamed. Tsack and Sagna, two defensive midfielders Arteta and Wilshere, three midfielders from left to right are Cazorla, Ozil and Rosicky, French striker Giroud in the center position. Seven substitutes The players are: Fabianski, Monreal, Jenkinson, Hayden, Ramsey, Bendtner and Podolski."

"As for Manchester United, their starting lineup is still 442 formation, goalkeeper De Gea, defender Vidic, Smalling, Alonso and Rafael, midfielder Kante, De Bruyne, Mahrez and Martial, with Rooney and Van Persie at the front. Seven substitutes: Alisson, Jones, Ashley Young, Valencia, Nainggolan, Salah and Icardi."

"These two teams are strong in the frontcourt, and each has a lot of technical players. This game must be a good matchup. Let us wait and see."

"With the whistle of the referee, the game begins!"

"Manchester United took the lead. Van Persie passed the ball back to De Bruyne in the midfield. De Bruyne protected the ball. He observed the situation on the field and then decisively distributed the ball to the left. Mahrez received it. To the ball."

"Mahrez took advantage of his speed. He passed Wilshere with a change of direction and slashed towards Arsenal's penalty area!"

"Koscielny in the penalty area came out and blocked Mahrez from continuing to attack!"

"Mahrez didn't dribble further, he passed the ball to the left."

"Left-back Alonso is running in at high speed,

He caught the ball and brought it all the way to the baseline! cross! "

"Rooney's header! Slightly over the bar!"

"Arsenal's goalkeeper Szczesny launched the attack and passed the ball directly to Rosicky who fell back and took the ball."

"The 32-year-old Rosicky's skills have not diminished. Under Martial's interception, he still passed the ball easily."

"Cazorla got the ball and crossed it to Ozil."

"Ozil is a player who just moved to Arsenal this summer. When he was in Real Madrid, he was a very agile midfielder. He passed and controlled the ball at a first-class level. Since he came to play, he has become more delicate. After playing Arsenal, he is like a fish in water, within half a season, he has become the core of Arsenal's offense."

"Seeing Ozil's push-in, Kanter pressed the past. Facing Kanter's pressing, Ozil did not overdo it, but a very concealed pass, which was handed over to the center forward. Giroud."

"Giroud got the ball at the edge of the box! Manchester United are in danger!"

"Giroud's turn and hit the goal! The ball slid past the goal! Arsenal missed a chance to lead the score."

"The game has just started, and the players on both sides have dedicated a wonderful attack. It seems that this game is really good."

Seeing the excitement of their players, Kintegger and Wenger were very happy. They were full of hope for their teams and only waited 90 minutes to win the game.

Wenger chose players today. He let the younger Ramsey play as a substitute, and let Rosicky start as the core of the attack. Wenger is very clear that for his team, lack of experience is a big problem. Although young players are very aggressive, once they encounter a difficult situation, they are easily at a loss. Therefore, having a veteran like Rosicky as the pinnacle of the sea is of great benefit to today's game.

Arsenal's style of play today is more comfortable. Although Rosicky's speed is not as good as before, his scheduling and sorting out in the midfield position makes Arsenal's offense more organized. Ozil, who has excellent ball and ball control ability, Arsenal's midfield combination is full of power.

The game lasted just over 20 minutes, and Arsenal threatened Manchester United's goal again and again. Because of the tacit cooperation of the three players in the midfield, striker Giroud also got a lot of opportunities.

The last time they played against Manchester United, Giroud was sent off and gave Manchester United a well-placed free kick, which eventually led to Van Persie's free kick. But that was just an accident. Over the past half season, Giroud's condition has been getting better and better. He has scored 11 goals so far, which has already tied the total number of personal goals last season.

Giroud was very active today. He spared no effort to run amidst the cheers and cheers of the Arsenal fans. Not only was he able to hit the goal by himself, but he also opened up space for the midfielders and created many scoring opportunities.

In the 25th minute of the first half, Arsenal launched a very sharp counterattack.

"Look at this Manchester United attack! De Bruyne passed the ball to Rooney's feet, and Rooney shot from the top of the penalty area!"

"The shot was blocked by Sagna stretching his foot! The ball landed at Arteta's feet!"

"Manchester United's backcourt was empty at this time, Arteta made a long pass, Giroud stopped the ball steadily, and he tried to walk into the penalty area."

"Smolin pressed up, Giroud didn't shoot, he put the ball back in front of the penalty area."

"Wilshere assisted and volleyed!"

"De Gea blocked the ball out of the baseline with his fingertips! He saved Manchester United!"

"Arsenal's offense was very sharp during this period. Relying on their home advantage, they continued to attack Manchester United's goal without stopping. It seems that it is difficult for Kim Tag to retreat from the Emirates Stadium today."

De Gea got up from the ground, and he also had lingering fears. The ball just now was too dangerous. Smalling also came to his side, patted his shoulder, and expressed his approval. And Vidic seized the time to organize players to defend the corner.

Wenger off the field saw another missed opportunity, he waved his hand angrily, feeling very depressed. However, seeing the team's opening state is so good, Wenger is more confident in his heart, and I will make a three-pointer in this game!
