Chapter 550: An Old Man Is Reminiscing About His Youth

Sanchez was a little scared. He had several passing opportunities but failed to pass the ball. This obviously made Wenger very angry.

However, Sanchez does not feel that he has done anything wrong. He still believes that if he passes Ashley Young, the offensive effect will be better.

It's not that I made a wrong choice, I just need to continue to work hard and open that door, which is the Golden Avenue.

Yes, he was just afraid of being scolded, not because he thought he was wrong.

These are two different things.

However, Sanchez, who has played for Arsenal for almost four years, also knows that their coach, who has always been gentle and elegant, actually has a very hot temper. He just tries hard to control his temper and try not to get angry.

But once the old man is pissed off, it will be very terrifying. Compared with Ferguson, another legendary old coach in the Premier League, it is definitely worse.

And Sanchez knew that what he did today definitely pissed off Wenger.

Sanchez deliberately walked very slowly. He wandered slowly in the corridor, hoping that he would go back a little later and Wenger had forgotten about it, or that Wenger had already scolded other people, such as the evil beggar or the Aubameyang was severely criticized and his anger subsided?

………………

After waiting for about two minutes, guessing that the time was almost up, Sanchez opened the door and went in.

"My stomach feels uncomfortable and I just went to the bathroom." Sanchez said it himself before anyone else asked.

Then, Sanchez pretended not to see Wenger's gaze, walked to the bench and sat down.

"Hey, Mesut, what's going on..." Sanchez winked at the evil beggar and asked in a low voice.

Before he finished speaking, the Beggar and Bellerin, who were sitting on both sides of him, immediately stood up.

Seeing the two men disappearing from different directions and the locker room falling silent, Sanchez immediately knew he was in trouble.

"Still haven't escaped." He lamented mentally.

Then, with his head lowered, Sanchez saw a pair of polished black leather shoes. The shoes stopped in front of him, with the toes facing him.

Sanchez thought to himself: Oh, no, it’s still here!

Sanchez raised his head and forced a smile, "Boss, are you...looking for me?"

Wenger said nothing. The old man held a bottle of mineral water with the cap unscrewed in his hand.

Wenger directly raised the bottle and wanted to pour the bottle of water directly on Sanchez's forehead, hoping to calm Sanchez's heated brain. Unexpectedly, Sanchez subconsciously avoided it, and his raised arm happened to touch the water bottle, and the bottle mouth With a twist, although Sanchez's face was splashed with water, more water poured on Wenger's shoes.

Seeing the shiny black leather shoes being soaked by water, Sanchez couldn't help laughing.

………………

Seeing Sanchez laughing, Wenger was so angry that he picked up a half-empty water bottle and hit him.

Sanchez jumped away and hid in a crowded place. Then the bottle not only hit him, but also hit the beggar and Koscielny.

Sanchez ducked away and laughed.

Wenger became even more angry. He hit twice more, but Sanchez dodged it with his dexterous passing skills.

Wenger was so angry that he threw the water bottle away.

There was just a "pop" sound, and the bottle landed accurately on the forehead of Aubameyang, who was watching the fun side by side.

"Hey -" Meiyangyang was about to speak when she saw Wenger's glare and immediately became frightened. She lowered her eyebrows and pretended that nothing happened.

After all, he is getting older. Wenger was panting from exhaustion after the chase. Of course, he might also be angry.

He put his hands on his hips and gasped for air.

Sanchez hurriedly ran over and consoled him: "Boss, don't be angry. Be careful of anger damaging your health."

Wenger stared at Sanchez. The two were very close, almost nose to nose.

Wenger slapped Sanchez on the head and snorted.

The evil beggar and others watching the show immediately came up and helped the old man find a seat to sit down. A few people even secretly winked, meaning it's fine, the weather has cleared up after the rain.

………………

After all this fuss, there is not much time left.

Wenger glared at these boys and had to hurry up and start explaining the tactics for the second half of the game.

The first thing he needs to do is to encourage mentally. It is difficult for a team that has lost its fighting spirit and has no hope for the result to win a reversal.

Wenger told them that if we scored before the halfway point of the second half, victory would be ours.

If someone else had said this, the effect would have been very average, and no one would really believe it. But when Wenger said this, at least most Arsenal players believed it because he had the confidence and qualifications to say this. talk.

Of course, spirit is only one aspect, and reversal also requires reasonable tactics.

Before the start of the second half, Wenger made a substitution.

Old Manchester United player Welbeck replaced Chambers, and Arsenal changed to 433. Bad Beggar, Xhaka and Ramsey formed a three-man midfield, with Bad Beggar appearing on the left, and Welbeck, Aubameyang and Sanchez partnered up front.

Replaced with Welbeck, because Wenger knew very well that this old Manchester United player was hungry for the game, especially when the opponent was Manchester United.

The purpose of letting the evil beggar play in the left midfield is to suppress Manchester United's attack on the right.

In the first half of this game, Rashford's Manchester United's left wing was relatively quiet, while Mbappe's right wing was very active.

Of course, during the halftime break, Wenger finally scolded Sanchez harshly.

If you are hit, you hide; if you are scolded, you can't just cover your ears and not listen.

………………

Sanchez stared at Ashley Young, and he still wanted to force Ashley Young. However, he felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable after Ashley Young once.

Moreover, Sanchez believed that as long as he passed Ashley Young, cut into the penalty area, and scored a goal, the old man would not hit him, but only praise him.

Well, he did it.

On the sidelines, looking at Sanchez's serious expression, Wenger smiled with relief, and said to Pat Rice: "These guys have to be beaten and scolded before they will be obedient."

"I always feel that the kid won't be so obedient." Pat Rice said, pointing to his head, "I have seen through it a long time ago, that kid is just stubborn."

"Same as you?" Wenger said.

On the other side, Mourinho saw all this. He snorted. Wenger was still in the mood to argue with his assistant after falling behind 0:2 at halftime?

Then, he became alert.

Although Mourinho had an overwhelming advantage in the record of matches against Wenger, and he once jokingly called Wenger an "expert in failure", Mourinho also knew that this old French man was not an easy guy to deal with.

Mourinho stood up and went to the sidelines, with his hands in his trouser pockets, staring at the field.

At this time, the second half of the game had already started for more than ten minutes, and Arsenal had launched a fierce attack on Manchester United's goal from the beginning of the game.

The activeness of the evil beggar put a lot of pressure on Manchester United's right defense, and Mbappe's assists were significantly reduced.

At this time, an unexpected situation occurred. Mbappe felt discomfort in his ankle during a defense and had to leave the field.

Mourinho sent Mahrez.

………………

"When you come on the court, play on the left." Mourinho instructed.

Mahrez is a versatile player in the frontcourt. He can play on both the left and right sides, and can also play as a front midfielder. But today Mourinho arranged Mahrez to play on the left side, and the left-footed Rashford went to the right side.

"Tell Marcus to strengthen the offensive on the right side."

"Pay more attention to the lateral transfer ball." Mourinho drew a cross on the tactical board.

"When Marcus becomes active on the right side, Arsenal's defense line will inevitably tilt to this side, and then, on the left, your chance is here!"

Mahrez nodded fiercely, he couldn't wait to play.

When he joined Manchester United last summer, Mahrez came for the main position. But after joining the team, he found himself facing a difficult situation.

Needless to say, Bruno's position in the front midfielder position is unshakable; on the two wingers, Rashford and Mbappe, two super talents, also pressed him to breathe and firmly occupied the main position.

However, Mahrez also has a lot of opportunities to play. After all, Manchester United has been fighting on multiple fronts since the beginning of the season, and the substitute rotation players, including him, have all gotten a lot of opportunities to play.

However, as a professional player, especially a player who thinks he is no weaker than Rashford and Mbappe, Mahrez has always wanted to seize the main position in his heart.

Now, Mahrez is going to fight for the starting position.

………………

After Mahrez came on as a substitute and conveyed Mourinho's tactical instructions to the players on the field, Rashford soon became active on the right side of Manchester United, which also forced the evil beggar to participate in the defense, and Arsenal's left-wing offensive was suppressed.

Even Mourinho did not expect that his adjustment would be effective immediately.

Just five minutes later, Manchester United launched an offensive on the right.

Rashford was very fast. He first forced past the evil beggar, and then continued to rush along the side.

After attracting Arsenal's defensive force to lean to this side, he suddenly transferred the ball diagonally.

In the middle, Bruno received the ball. He did not let the ball stay under his feet, but directly passed it to the left.

Mahrez launched an attack on the left side. He took the ball to the bottom line and made a cross.

The ball flew in an arc to the front of the goal. Ospina, the goalkeeper of Arsenal, attacked in front of the goal. His intention was to intercept the ball directly from the air. But after attacking, Ospina found that his judgment was wrong. The arc of the ball passed by Mahrez was a little floating, and the ball just passed between Ospina's hands.

"The ball was missed!" Lineker, the commentator, shouted loudly.

Ospina turned his head in horror and saw a player in a red jersey rushing up at the back point.

"Cancelo!"

Manchester United's right back Cancelo rushed to the back point today, and he made a diving header!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLL!!!! Cancelo! Cancelo!! Cancelo!!!"

"Manchester United leads Arsenal 3:0!!!"
