Chapter Four Hundred and Seventy First, Sharp Counterattack
Players from both sides ran to the court from the channel, and the game was about to start. At this time, Jin Taige and Wenger shook hands and chatted cordially on the sidelines.
During the Ferguson period, the Jazz and the professor were incompatible existences. Even if the two met on the sidelines, they were at war. But since Jin Taige came to coach, his relationship with Wenger has been very good.
On the one hand, this is due to Kintag's respect for Wenger, and on the other hand, it is also due to Wenger's appreciation of Kintag. The relationship between the two is very good, as if they have forgotten each other.
When we met on the sidelines today, Kintag greeted Wenger with a smile. The two chatted a few words: "Mr. Professor, you have done well in the Champions League. The game did not allow the opponent to win, it seems that Arsenal is very hopeful to get the first place in the group."
Wenger also responded with a smile: "Your performance in the Champions League is also good. You have one win and one draw against Juventus. The first place in the group is a sure thing. It has always been ranked first in the league. It is still two points ahead of the second place Chelsea. However. Tiger, you are likely to be overtaken by Chelsea in this game, because you will not get points today."
"Professor, we won't know who wins and who loses until 90 minutes later, but I am confident that I can get the three points I want from the Emirates Stadium. See you on the field." Kintag said firmly.
After hearing this, Wenger still said confidently: "Your recent performance is indeed very good, especially the offensive ability in the midfield, which is particularly strong, and I found that you are now playing offensive football, which I like. Today Let's compare and see whether your offensive football is better or my artistic football is better."
"With the whistle of the referee, the game begins!"
"The biggest highlight of this game is that Kintegger, who is playing offensive football, meets Arsene Wenger, who is playing artistic football. The open style of play of the two teams will definitely be very interesting."
Morris and Raman in the live broadcast room watched the game with great anticipation.
...
Ten minutes later, the two looked at each other.
Morris frowned: "Arsenal's style of play in this game seems to be a little different from the past. They usually like to pass and control the midfielder, and often pass the ball with more than ten feet. The opponent can't touch the edge. But today they Some flinched, every time after a few passes in the midfield, they pass back and reorganize. This is not the art of passing and controlling at all. This is simply... a defensive counterattack? When will Wenger's team start playing? The defense counterattacked?"
Raman on the side thought it was funny: "Manchester United, which has always had a balanced offense and defense, played offensive football; while Arsenal, the representative of artistic football, began to shrink back and played defensive counterattacks? The Premier League this season is really getting more and more disappointing. People can't understand it."
Don't say that Raman can't understand, even Jin Taige can't understand Wenger's approach. He didn't understand why Wenger did this. He obviously had many skilled players under his command, but why didn't he attack forward?
Scholes also shook his head behind Kintag: "It's really rare for Arsenal to play defensive counterattacks."
Today, Manchester United's players are still attacking Arsenal's goal violently. They are very happy to see Arsenal retreating.
After Mahrez's long shot was barely saved by Szczesny, he happily said to Lampard beside him: "I didn't expect Arsenal to be so weak today."
Rafael, who stepped forward with the assist, was also very happy: "It seems that we have a certain chance of winning this game."
But Lampard frowned. In his memory of the Premier League for more than ten years, it seems that he rarely sees Arsenal adopt this style of play. Although Wenger is very stable, he is not a conservative person. He admires French art models and artistic football, and most of the Arsenal team are players with very good skills. It is simply incomprehensible for Wenger to use Mourinho's bus tactics.
Not only Lampard has this idea, Manchester United captain and veteran defender Vidic is also a little worried. He always feels that there is something wrong with Arsenal's style of play today.
I don't know what Wenger is thinking about...
During the opening period, Manchester United has been suppressing Arsenal to play. Even the Arsenal fans in the stands don't understand why their beloved team is beaten like this?
But no matter what, the Arsenal players still followed Wenger's request, passed in the midfield, and waited for the opportunity.
Although Manchester United's offensive is fierce, they have not been able to break through Arsenal's goal.
In the 26th minute of the game, the situation on the field changed.
Under the leadership of Lampard, Manchester United's offensive line once again launched a wave of offensive towards Arsenal's goal. After Lampard and De Bruyne passed consecutively, De Bruyne kicked the ball from the right to the penalty area, looking for Lai. million points. But Arsenal's tall central defender Mertesacker judged the landing point in advance and pushed the ball out of the penalty area before Lewandowski.
The ball just fell at the feet of Ramsey outside the penalty area, and Ramsey dribbled the ball directly towards Manchester United's half!
At this time, most of the Manchester United players were near the Arsenal penalty area, leaving only Smalling, Kroos and Rafael in their own half.
Ramsey broke through the middle circle with the ball and continued to move forward.
At this time, the closest person to him is Cross, and Cross rushed to Ramsey, ready to block his way forward.
But Ramsey didn't think about him at all. He flicked the ball to the left rear, as if he had eyes behind his back, and the ball went straight to Ozil, who was leaning behind him.
And Ozilta did not hesitate after receiving the ball. He split the ball and handed it to Chamberlain.
At this time, Arsenal's smooth cooperation is back!
The continuous pass between several Arsenal players quickly approached the penalty area of Manchester United. Chamberlain took the ball and ran a few steps, and then passed the ball diagonally to the far end before Rafael stepped forward. Sanchez.
Sanchez took two steps after receiving the ball, and then pretended to pass the ball to Campbell. Smalling hastily fixed on Campbell, cutting off the passing lanes between the two of them.
But Sanchez did not choose to pass the ball. He looked up at De Gea's position slightly forward, so Sanchez decisively kicked a strong arc ball on the edge of Manchester United's penalty area, and the ball went straight to the dead corner of Manchester United's goal. De Gea tried his best to save, but still missed the ball...
"Sanchez's powerful arc shot! De Gea fought hard to save...the ball went in!!! Arsenal played a wave of smooth cooperation through a counter-attack opportunity, 1 to 0, Arsenal won at home Lead!"
