Chapter 843 Incentive

Although Rooney kicked away Manchester United's best chance in the first half, it also dealt a blow to the onslaught of Arsenal. They realized that Manchester United's shrinking defense was not without offensive power. The purpose of this tiger's hidden minions was just to win at the end. Give them a fatal blow at the right time.

Arsenal then became more cautious on offense, not daring to press forward like they did when they just lost the ball.

For Arsenal, the defense was a little safer, but the offensive power was also weakened. In the last ten minutes of the first half, Arsenal could no longer break into Manchester United's penalty area. Only Van Persie and Arshavin completed two kicks. Long shot.

As Weber's whistle sounded, players from both sides stopped the game and went to the locker room to rest.

Gao Xiaodong walked to Rooney's side and said, "Wayne, what's going on with that ball?"

After Rooney missed the must-goal, his expression has been very depressed, and he has not recovered yet. He said wiltedly: "The ball speed was too fast, the judgment was not accurate enough, and it was a little too far."

Gao Xiaodong suddenly realized that it was no wonder he kicked the crossbar. He said sympathetically: "Wayne, don't be depressed. Everyone has a time when an empty goal doesn't come in."

Rooney said with a sad face, "This ball is too close to the goal. It is more than seven meters away from the goal. It is really embarrassing to miss it."

Giggs was behind Rooney and Gao Xiaodong. Hearing what Rooney said, Giggs said: "Wayne, don't be mentally burdened. Just because you thought too much after hitting the ball, there will be opportunities for you later." None of them were able to grasp it.”

Rooney said dejectedly: "I haven't scored such a goal, I can't help but think about it."

Giggs said: "You have to overcome this. People are emotional animals, but they cannot be emotional."

That's Lunino.

Back in the locker room, Ferguson praised the players' performance in the first half and was satisfied with the players' strict implementation of their tactical requirements. Then Ferguson simply deployed the tactical requirements for the second half and took Gao Xiaodong and Rooney to the coach. lounge.

Ferguson asked Rooney and Gao Xiaodong to sit down, then frowned and said: "Wayne, how could the ball be kicked like that?"

Rooney was embarrassed, but still told Sir Alex the situation truthfully.

Ferguson smiled bitterly. He was also a player and knew that although the probability of kicking the ball was only one in a thousand, according to Rooney, hitting the goalpost was even inevitable.

Then Ferguson asked Gao Xiaodong, "Gao, there are many corner kicks, why do you take a direct free kick?"

Gao Xiaodong pondered for a moment and said seriously: "I actually wanted to pass the ball, but I didn't control my footwork well. I didn't expect it to spin into the net. I can only say that I was lucky."

Ferguson was dubious about Gao Xiaodong's words. He knew that he was a wretched and tired guy. However, Ferguson thought about it and realized that the ball had already been scored anyway. No matter what he thought, he didn't ask further questions.

…

In the visiting team's dressing room, Arsenal coach Wenger's attitude was completely different from Ferguson's. Wenger was very angry. In a battle that must be won, Arsenal conceded the first goal. Such a score By holding on until the end of the game, Arsenal's championship dream this year was shattered again.

"If you want to win against Manchester United, you can't just rely on physical confrontation, but without increasing physical confrontation, it is impossible to win against Manchester United. Therefore, any player dares to confront. Of course, football matches are not about fighting, and our Arsenal style is not It will change, we must let the ball move and use tacit cooperation to defeat our opponents..."

"The key figures who keep an eye on the opponent, Gao Xiaodong and Scholes, are the engines of Manchester United's offense. However, Berbatov and Rooney should not be underestimated. They have the ability to fight against a defensive line alone."

"We must cheer up in the second half. We would rather lose by a big score than a draw or a small loss. As a giant team, if we have lost the hope of winning the championship before we have tasted the half, it is a shame, no matter for ourselves. , or for La Liga, we must win!"

After injecting chicken blood into the players,

Wenger went on to explain in detail the problems that arose at Manchester United in the first half and what Arsenal should do about it. By the time Wenger finished speaking, the 15-minute break was over.

Hearing the whistle outside, Wenger waved his hand and said: "Go ahead and give your best, don't leave any regrets for yourself, I believe in you!"

The average age of Arsenal players is the youngest in the Premier League. After some encouragement from Wenger, the players were excited and enthusiastic. After the start of the second half, they forced themselves into the midfield to suppress Manchester United.

Although Manchester United intends to shrink, this is Old Trafford. Manchester United is 11 points ahead in the standings. It has a huge advantage. It doesn't matter if they lose a game. At their home court, the Manchester United generals don't want to lose to their opponents in terms of momentum.

Seeing Arsenal attacking and trying to compress themselves to half-court, the Manchester United players also quickly ran and competed with Arsenal in the midfield.

Manchester United's midfielder is Gao Xiaodong, Fletcher and Scholes, and Arsenal's midfielder is Wilshere, Song and Cesc Fabregas.

Manchester United's midfielder is physically stronger and fights more fiercely, while Arsenal's midfielder has more coordination and dribbling.

However, after Professor Wenger's encouragement in the locker room and being behind in the score, Arsenal's players were more motivated, in better shape, and ran more actively. Under Arsenal's power pressing, Manchester United's pass There was a problem with coordination. They never cooperated with more than three shots in the midfield and frontcourt. Then they were either forced to make mistakes or were forced to take big shots.

Short passing penetration has always been Arsenal's specialty. In this fierce confrontation and competition, Arsenal's passing success rate is still better than Manchester United, especially Arshavin, Robin van Persie and Nurse in Arsenal's frontcourt. They all have very strong personal abilities, and they all have the ability to break through one-on-one, and they can't be defended by one person.

Once Arsenal pushes the ball forward and hands it to any one of Arshavin, Robin van Persie and Nasri, Manchester United's defense will be in trouble.

After 60 minutes of the game, Arsenal was unable to equalize the score. Professor Wenger first made substitution adjustments. Arsenal midfielder Song came off, Czech midfielder Rosicky came on, and Cesc Fabregas returned to his familiar backcourt. On the waist position.

Although this is a normal substitution, Rosicky's appearance indicates that Professor Wenger will have to fight hard, because Song, who is responsible for midfield sweeps, has been taken down, and Arsenal's midfielders have all become technical players. The midfielder's ball control ability is definitely better, and the passing and cutting cooperation is more delicate, but the defensive interception ability is definitely not as good as Song's on the court.

It has to be said that Professor Wenger still has a good ability to adjust the offense. After Rosicky came on the field, Arsenal's passing rhythm in the frontcourt suddenly accelerated. After disrupting Manchester United's defense, he immediately used his personal ability to break through Manchester United's defense.

This combination of teamwork and individual breakthroughs is the biggest headache for Manchester United. In the 69th minute of the game, Arsenal broke through Manchester United's siege after continuous passes in the midfield. Fabregas kicked the ball straight to the winger. Nasri.

Nasri tried to break through full-back Evra, but Gao Xiaodong quickly returned to defense, forcing Nasri to pass the ball back to Rosicky, who immediately passed the ball to the front of the penalty area.

Fabregas stepped in from the back and volleyed a powerful shot into the upper right corner of the goal with his right foot.

There was no interference with this shot. Fabregas hardly had to make any adjustments. The shot was very powerful and tricky.

However, although the Dutch giraffe Van der Sar is old, his condition is still the same as before. He judged the direction of Cesc Fabregas' shot in advance, jumped up, and lifted the ball out of the baseline with both hands, defusing a threatening Arsenal attack.
