Chapter 1,138 Penalty Kick

Manchester United scored two goals in 12 minutes. Arsenal has reached its most dangerous moment. If Arsenal cannot get back a goal quickly, Arsenal will lose this powerful battle.

Wenger only has these people at hand, and the strongest ones have been sent up. He has no better tactics. Manchester United's left and right sides are a combination of one offense and one defense, which is very balanced. Gao Xiaodong and Giggs are in the middle, and Rooney When returning to defense, it is like a defender. Apart from attacking with strength, it is difficult for Arsenal to start from any point.

Husband also has the courage to fight. At this time, Wenger can only encourage the players to move forward bravely and fight Manchester United.

"Forward! Press forward! Give the ball to Van Persie..."

Wenger waved and shouted towards the pitch.

The Manchester United fans in the stands were excited. The cheers, singing and applause were deafening. Wenger couldn't reach the players' ears even with a loudspeaker. All the Arsenal players saw was Wenger's waving arms, which was telling him. They have to move forward! Attack, attack!

Arsenal's starting lineup is a group of young people. Conceding two goals in a row has inspired the fighting spirit of the Arsenal players. Even if Wenger does not make any demands, these people will not swallow their anger and accept the result of failure. Fans all over the world are watching. They couldn't afford to lose this guy.

After Rooney scored, Arsenal players almost ran much more actively than before. There were more receiving points for passing passes on the field. Passes and penetrations were much smoother than before, and they broke into Manchester United's offensive third more and more times. .

In the 14th minute of the game, Rosicky, who had been suppressed by Gao Xiaodong before, gained a short space by running without the ball. He received a cross pass and created a shooting opportunity for Walcott.

Manchester United's defense was not bad, but Arsenal's passing speed was too fast. Manchester United's defensive players failed to keep up and missed Walcott.

Walcott's time to handle the ball was very short, and he could not even guarantee that he would have time to stop the ball and shoot again. To be on the safe side, Walcott volleyed and shot low directly in front of the penalty area.

Walcott was very fast and got into position, but his shooting skills were so bad that his kick was in the wrong position and hit the upper part of the ball. After the ball bounced off the ground and flew towards the goal, it had no speed and strength.

This kind of shot poses little threat to the goalkeeper, but De Gea was too nervous and made a prediction when Walcott started to kick. As a result, he took a step forward and found that the ball went in the opposite direction, and it was a lob.

Fortunately, the ball was high and slow, and De Gea had time to turn around. He flew the ball very thrillingly and hit the ball over the baseline.

A poor shot almost resulted in a goal. The Manchester United fans were frightened and a little angry.

"Can De Gea still catch a ball?"

"How much better is De Gea than a wooden stake?"

"I'm better than De Gea."

"I just don't understand, what does Ferguson see in De Gea?"

"Is this the lord's biological son?"

…

Manchester United fans complained one after another, wishing they could go up and guard De Gea.

Ferguson is also feeling depressed. What are you nervous about about the little kid Walcott's shot? If a goal is scored, even I might be implicated.

Ferguson even wondered if he had made a mistake. Although De Gea's talent is very good, if his psychology is not good, it may be difficult to perform in the highly competitive Premier League.

Although this attack failed to score a goal,

But it gave the Arsenal players greater confidence. When taking a corner kick, Rosicky took a shot from behind. Arsenal center defender Koscielny ran to the edge of the penalty area and headed the ball towards the goal. Unfortunately, the ball hit the side netting.

In the following time, Arsenal played more actively. The ball kept wandering inside and outside Manchester United's penalty area, creating several shooting opportunities.

In the 27th minute of the game, Manchester United counterattacked, but Hernandez did not get the ball due to the active fighting of the opponent. Arsenal midfielder Ramsey got the ball and quickly counterattacked, beating Manchester United's offensive and defensive transition.

Van Persie inserted into the center of Manchester United, and Arshavin and Walcott inserted directly behind Manchester United's two full-backs Evra and Smalling.

Walcott is extremely fast, and Smalling, who is opposite him, is tall, turns slowly, and is slow, which is the best breakthrough point for counterattacks. However, Smalling is too tall, and Ramsey is afraid that he will not be able to pass the ball, or that he will not be able to pass the ball. In order to pass the ball over Smalling's head, he changed his mind and passed it to Van Persie who was advancing in the middle.

It was originally thought that Ramsey was going to pass to Walcott, and Manchester United's defensive players were mostly focused on Walcott. Ramsey inadvertently passed the ball to Van Persie.

Van Persie is surrounded by two central defenders. In addition to shooting directly, it is impossible to stop the ball under the defense of the two central defenders and then break through and shoot.

Although Manchester United's two central defenders are young people, Van Persie is not arrogant enough to fight against them. He did not stop the ball, but flicked the ball towards the side, looking for the front man. Walcott.

Walcott was originally behind defender Smalling, but when he saw Van Persie ferrying over, Walcott accelerated to overtake, suddenly passed Smalling, and grabbed the ball before it went out of the sideline and pointed the ball toward the baseline.

Smalling also accelerated hard when Walcott overtook, but there was a big speed difference between him and Walcott. Not only did he fail to catch up with Walcott, but he widened the distance.

Walcott caught up with the ball five meters away from the bottom line, but seeing that Van Persie could not reach the penalty area in time due to the entanglement and obstruction of his opponents, Walcott did not wait, and he bravely cut along the wing. Entered the restricted area.

When Walcott caught up with the ball, center back Evans moved to the side to intercept Walcott and cut inside.

It's just that Evans thought Walcott would pass the ball, and he wasn't determined enough to make up for it on the wing. Walcott was indeed fast. When Evans reached the sideline of the penalty area, Walcott also arrive.

Facing Evans who came to intercept, Walcott took a step forward and passed the ball directly. He quickly passed the ball and beat Evans with his speed.

Central defenders are most afraid of people who don't play with skills and use speed to challenge you, because they are generally taller, slower, and can't turn quickly. When encountering this situation, most central defenders will directly resort to foul tactics.

Walcott could face goalkeeper De Gea in the past. Based on De Gea's previous performance, Evans really didn't dare to let De Gea challenge Walcott. He decisively reached out and pulled Walcott away. Drag him to the ground.

Beep!

At this time referee Weber's whistle sounded.

Evans knew that he had committed a foul, and a yellow card was probably unavoidable, but when he looked up, he found that the referee Webb was pointing to the penalty spot. Evans was shocked. He remembered that he drew the ball outside the penalty area. Man, how could it be a penalty kick?

Evans originally wanted to pull Walcott up, but then he loosened his grip, put Walcott down, and hurried over to find Weber's theory.

"Referee! I'm not in the penalty area, this is outside the penalty area." Evans defended, pointing to the edge of the penalty area.

"No, no, it's in the penalty area. I can see clearly, it's a penalty kick." Weber waved his hand at Evans and took out the yellow card and showed it to Evans.

Seeing Evans asking the referee to defend himself, Manchester United players also came over. Although they didn't see it clearly, they believed in and supported their teammates.

Facing the Manchester United players surrounding him, Webber had a stern look on his face. He backed away and said: "This is a penalty! Stop arguing! I can't get it wrong."

The Manchester United players explained, but Weber ignored it. He firmly believed that the foul was in the penalty area and it was a penalty. The Manchester United players had no choice but to accept this penalty.

Faced with this situation, He Hui sighed: "Webber is a very friendly referee to Manchester United. In the past 10 times Arsenal played at Old Trafford, Webber awarded Manchester United 5 penalty kicks. Every time Arsenal played as a guest, Dream Theater will almost always be awarded a penalty kick by Weber. But now is the focus of the world's attention. The referee definitely wants to look better and does not want the victory to be decided in ten minutes. Weber will definitely award such a suspected penalty kick. It can only be said that Evans was inexperienced and gave the referee this opportunity."
