Chapter 1,142 The First "Hat" Of the New Season

Recovering a goal is a huge boost to Arsenal's morale. At least Arsenal has a goal, which is to score two more goals and lose fewer people.

Wenger also saw a bit of hope. He hoped to strike while the iron was hot and immediately replaced center back Jolu and replaced forward Chamakh, playing a desperate tactic of two wingers and two centers.

Wenger, who has always been rational and conservative, actually took risks. This was completely forced by the situation on the field. The score was already 5:1. If he could not get back one or two goals, this score would be a stain on Wenger's coaching career.

This score was the same as Manchester City's victory over Tottenham, which met Ferguson's psychological expectations. Facing an old opponent like Wenger who no longer threatened Ferguson's status, Ferguson did not want to kill them all.

After Wenger took the risk of replacing forward Chamakh, Ferguson also made substitution adjustments. Hernandez went off and teenager Cleverley came on.

Cleverley is the defensive midfielder. He is only 22 years old. After he came on the field, he partnered with Pogba, while Gao Xiaodong moved into the frontcourt and played as an attacking midfielder. However, Manchester United does not have a tradition of attacking midfielders. Gao Xiaodong's position is close to the ninth and a half, so he is facing Attack the penalty area from the front and assist the two younger brothers in defense from the back.

This is Manchester United's third substitution. In less than 70 minutes, Ferguson has used up three substitutions, and he is still a rookie. This is obviously a little merciful. However, in the eyes of Arsenal people, this It was Ferguson who was arrogant and simply did not take Arsenal into consideration.

After adding four forwards, Arsenal's offense was no better than before. After Cleverley came on, he, Pogba and Gao Xiaodong were all in their early 20s and were particularly good at running. The strong Arsenal midfielder was in shambles, and the ball could not be passed to the forwards at all. Even if it was sent to the two wings, Walcott and Arshavin could not form a connection with the center and could only rely on one-on-one play. Fight to solve the problem.

But after experiencing the initial discomfort, it was not as difficult for Smallin to deal with Arshavin as it was at the beginning. Although it cannot be said that he succeeded every time, it was impossible for Arshavin to get rid of him completely.

On the other side, it was more difficult for the young tiger Walcott to deal with the cunning Evra. After Walcott's three-axe chop, Evra discovered that Walcott was just fast and had no other tricks, so he decisively gave up the assist. , staying in the backcourt, not giving Walcott any space to sprint, leaving Walcott with all his speed but unable to use it. As a result, he often dribbled the ball out of the baseline or was intercepted by Evra.

Arsenal's offense was weak. After Manchester United's young people came on the field, they all wanted to make contributions and their counterattacks were even sharper than before.

In the 75th minute of the game, Manchester United once again got a chance to score.

Evra intercepted Walcott from the left.

Quick assists along the wing.

Walcott quickly caught up from behind and tried to steal the ball.

Evra was once one of the top three left backs in the world. He would lose the ball so easily. He had already paid attention to Walcott. Before Walcott could get behind him, he quickly passed the ball across. Cleverley.

If it were Pogba, the ball would definitely have stopped and taken away, but Cleverley handled the ball much more concisely than Pogba. When the ball came to him, he didn't even stop and straightened forward in a straight line. Passed to Gao Xiaodong.

Although Gao Xiaodong is very young, he is already a star player in the system. In reality, his skills are almost equivalent to that of a superstar, and he handles the ball better than Cleverley.

The ball was passed over, Gao Xiaodong gently picked it up, then turned around and volleyed the ball into the gap between Koscielny and the full-back.

Arsenal has replaced center back Djolu at this moment. There is a big gap between Koscielny and the full-back. Moreover, because of guarding against Gao Xiaodong, Koscielny did not keep an eye on the young player Welbeck, and Welbeck inserted into the penalty area at high speed. , and scored with a header before goalkeeper Szczesny.

6:1

The teenager Welbeck was extremely excited when he scored the Arsenal goal for the first time. He roared and ran to the stands. The fans in the stands had already stood up and cheered towards the stadium.

The on-site commentators no longer had the excitement of scoring the goal at the beginning. They even sympathized with Arsenal. He Hui also said with emotion: "We are all young people, why is there such a big difference? Arsenal actually lost 6 goals." , This is too embarrassing, but looking at it like this, I'm afraid I have to lose the ball."

The commentator could see it, and Wenger could definitely see it too. At this moment, Wenger was already regretting his risky substitution just now. It was only more than 70 minutes. He felt that if this continued, the consequences would be disastrous. It was better to have a more balanced offense and defense, even if he didn't score a goal. , and must not lose the ball again.

Wenger also made the last substitution adjustment, Walcott was replaced and teenager Lansbury was replaced.

Lansbury is only 21 years old this year. Although he is not as good as Walcott in offensive talent or as fast as Walcott, he has a balance of offense and defense. Wenger's addition of him is a correction to the center back Jolu who has just been replaced. , hoping that he can help Arsenal control the midfield.

Arsenal were defeated. Wenger's idea of ​​letting a 21-year-old unknown control the midfield was a fantasy. After Lansbury came on, he was quickly overwhelmed by Gao Xiaodong, Cleverley, Pogba, Rooney, Welbeck and others created almost no threat in the running tide.

In the 80th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong suddenly accelerated the ball at the edge of the penalty area, broke through Ramsey and went straight into the penalty area.

Because Arsenal lacks one defender, the distance between the defensive players is very large. Once Ramsey cannot block Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong can go straight to Huanglong.

Ramsey had no choice but to pass the ball and reach out to pull down Gao Xiaodong from behind.

Of course, the referee could not ignore such a foul. He awarded a well-positioned free kick and showed Ramsey a yellow card.

The free kick was taken by Gao Xiaodong.

When Gao Xiaodong stood in front of the penalty spot, Manchester United fans stood up excitedly and shouted at Gao Xiaodong: "Hat trick! Hat trick..."

Indeed, Gao Xiaodong has already scored two goals before. As long as this free kick is scored again, he will score his first hat trick this season.

Of course Gao Xiaodong also longs for a hat trick, so he attaches great importance to this free kick.

The previous free kick Gao Xiaodong hit was the upper left corner, but this time Gao Xiaodong still decided to shoot the upper left corner.

Szczesny saw that Gao Xiaodong's position and running method were the same as the first time he took the penalty. He was a little confused and thought, Gao Xiaodong must have confused me. Can he take the penalty in the upper left corner again? Will it go in the opposite direction this time?

In doubt, Gao Xiaodong shot, and he once again hit the upper left corner of the goal with a falling leaf ball.

Szczesny made a mistake in his final judgment. He thought Gao Xiaodong might want to change direction, so he focused on the right side. As a result, when Gao Xiaodong shot from the left again, Szczesny had no time to save.

7:1

Gao Xiaodong scored his first hat-trick of the season, and Manchester United once again set a new record for the largest score between Manchester United and Arsenal.
