Chapter 839 Illusion
Manchester United had excellent air defense in the backcourt. Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny kicked the ball in the penalty area. Instead of taking a big kick, he passed the ball to the defender and played the ground attack that Arsenal is familiar with and good at.
Manchester United deployed a 433 formation today, but Giggs on the left is more like a full midfielder. He does not press forward. He mainly assists Gao Xiaodong and Scholes in the center. The task of inserting forward is basically It's all Evra's.
This is the first time Ferguson has used Giggs in this way. Although there is no magical effect at first, he can at least know that Giggs does not have to run back and forth, and his physical energy will not be consumed too much.
Manchester United did not press Arsenal's ball-carrying players too tightly in the frontcourt. It is true that this is their home court, but Manchester United has a strategic advantage. Even if they draw with Arsenal at home, they can completely accept it, and Arsenal As long as Arsenal still have some thoughts about the championship, Arsenal will have to attack it on their own without Manchester United pressing them.
Arsenal did not control the ball too much in the backcourt and quickly passed it from the backcourt to the midfield. Arsenal was stubbornly blocked by Manchester United in the midfield. The three forwards in the frontcourt were also tightly entangled by the Manchester United defender. Arsenal Na's offense was blocked and he could only pass crosses and back passes.
Manchester United's players are old, middle-aged and young, and have much more experience than Arsenal. They seem to let Arsenal control the midfield and backcourt, and they wait for Arsenal's mistakes to counterattack, but Arsenal's passing is a little slow. At that moment, five or six players in Manchester United's frontcourt suddenly came forward together and surrounded Arsenal's ball-controlling player.
Arsenal did not adapt to this change of pace. They were confused by Manchester United's sudden pressing and were forced to pass back to the goalkeeper. The ball was kicked out of the sideline by goalkeeper Szczesny.
The home court has the advantage. The ball boy quickly threw the ball to Giggs. Giggs quickly passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong. Wilshere wanted to go around Gao Xiaodong to steal the ball. Gao Xiaodong turned around faster and took advantage of the situation. He turned around and left Wilshere behind.
Gao Xiaodong's offensive power is too strong. He is the player Arsenal focuses on. Now he is serving a throw-in in Arsenal's half. Wilshere pushed Gao Xiaodong from behind without hesitation, thinking Push Gao Xiaodong to the ground.
However, Gao Xiaodong's center of gravity was low and he was about to pick up speed. Wilshere did not push Gao Xiaodong down. Gao Xiaodong dribbled the ball towards the penalty area like lightning.
Seeing Gao Xiaodong rush towards the penalty area, Arsenal's midfielders Song and Koscielny immediately double-teamed Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong is not a dribbling expert, nor does he like to stick to the ball. If his opponent double-teams him, he immediately gives the ball to Scholes and walks to the wing.
Scholes is responsible for the organization of Manchester United's midfield. When he gets the ball, Arsenal players take care of him. Scholes also does not control the ball. He passes the ball to Giggs who is approaching the center from the wing.
At this time, Evra followed up, Giggs moved completely to the center, and Gao Xiaodong and Evra attacked from the wing.
Giggs drew the Arsenal wide player over, and he passed the ball to Evra.
Evra passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong, who dribbled the ball and tried to cut inside. Arsenal right back Sagna did not dare to take a step and slowly retreated, waiting for support from his teammates.
At this time, Evra had quickly penetrated from behind Gao Xiaodong to the baseline. Gao Xiaodong flicked the ball, passed it to Evra, and then took a step back seemingly casually.
It was too late for Sagna to try to follow Evra. The right midfielder Nasri who followed Evra was not far from Evra, but Gao Xiaodong's step back forced Nasri to make a detour. Go, there is no way to keep up with Evra.
No one noticed the beauty of Gao Xiaodong's step back, but the fans saw it when he passed the ball to Evra.
"This ball was passed really well!"
"Looking at the five big ones and the three thick ones, the work is very detailed!"
"Xiaodong's kicking is so concise! The coordination is very smooth!"
"Destroy the arsenal of fake technology!"
…
The fans chanted!
Evra quickly went down to the baseline and passed a fast cross to find Berbatov in the middle.
Evra's passing action was made almost without any interference. His ball bypassed Squilani at the front point, but another center back Koscielny judged the landing point better than Berbato. Husband was faster and more accurate, and he headed the ball past the baseline before Berbatov.
Manchester United gets a corner kick.
When Manchester United attacks from the wing, they do not have an aerial advantage, but they still have an aerial advantage at set pieces. Vidic and Ferdinand can come up to compete for the top. This is very troublesome for Arsenal, although Koscielny and Serie A Quilani's headers are good, but I can't say that he can guard Vidic and Ferdinand.
The corner kick was taken by Giggs, and Gao Xiaodong ran to the front of the penalty area to wait for the opportunity to take a long shot.
Gao Xiaodong and Scholes both have strong long-range shooting ability. They can attract Arsenal's defensive force in the penalty area in the frontcourt and create space for their teammates.
Although Giggs' set-piece footwork cannot be compared with that of Beckham, it is still quite reliable. He passed the ball to the back point with one kick. Rooney, who was in the back point, overwhelmed the full-back Clichy and headed the ball back into the penalty area. .
Goalkeeper Szczesny was unhappy when he saw the ball. He boldly attacked, leaped high and raised his knees to punch. No one in front of him dared to take the ball. Szczesny punched the ball out of the penalty area with both fists.
But at this moment, Gao Xiaodong and Scholes had been waiting outside the penalty area for a long time. When they saw the ball coming out, Scholes gave Gao Xiaodong a wink and quickly ran to get the ball.
Gao Xiaodong understood and quickly ran to a place with few people.
Scholes played more concisely. He grabbed the spot, headed the ball a little, and passed it to Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong originally thought that Scholes would handle it and give him a ground ball, and he could volley directly. But now Scholes gave him an air ball. When he handles the ball, the defensive player will definitely block it. It's blocked.
Fortunately, there was veteran Giggs. Gao Xiaodong stopped his chest. When the ball fell, he pushed with the arch of his foot and passed the ball to Giggs. He quickly took two steps forward and passed the blocking Cesc Fabregas. .
Giggs was indeed cunning. He immediately guessed Gao Xiaodong's passing intention. He received the ball and pushed it to Gao Xiaodong again.
With these two concise passes, Gao Xiaodong already had time to volley, and he shot the ball towards the goal.
Seeing Manchester United's smooth and tacit cooperation, the fans in the stands applauded, and many people shouted, "Look! We at Manchester United are also skilled!"
At this moment, the offensive and defensive players in the penalty area were all walking outside. Gao Xiaodong's shot failed to penetrate the crowd and hit a defender and flew out of the baseline. Manchester United continued to get a corner kick.
This time it was Giggs who took the kick. Giggs is also a very flexible player. Last time he kicked a corner kick, he kicked a backward point, but this time he passed a forward point.
This time it was Gao Xiaodong who grabbed the point. He quickly entered the penalty area when Giggs was running up, headed the ball in front of him, and threw the ball to Rooney at the back point.
This is also Manchester United's set-piece routine, but Arsenal suffered a small loss in the first corner kick. Although no one could keep up with Gao Xiaodong in the frontcourt this time, Rooney in the backcourt was tightly defended by Arsenal. , under the guard of Clichy, Rooney squeezed out of his position to head the ball and hit the side netting.
The expectant Manchester United fans saw the net shaking and thought a goal had been scored. They all clapped and cheered immediately. However, when referee Webb signaled the Arsenal goalkeeper to kick the ball, the fans knew that the goal had not been scored and they were very upset. Pity.
Although the game was less than 10 minutes, Wenger has already seen the secret of Ferguson's formation today. It seems that Manchester United played 433 today. In fact, this 433 is different from the ordinary 433. Giggs is only in the winger position. It's an illusion. He mostly switches positions with Gao Xiaodong to help Scholes organize in the middle, while Gao Xiaodong often breaks through on the left.
Judging from the effect of Ferguson's arrangement, it circumvented Giggs' physical and explosive weaknesses, and also utilized Giggs' organization and passing abilities, as well as Gao Xiaodong's speed and impact.
Wenger frowned and was thinking intensely about how to deal with Ferguson's style of playing as a left winger and Gao Xiaodong's style of attacking from the wing. He must find a way as soon as possible, otherwise with Manchester United's attacking power, the goal will be quickly.
