Chapter 217 Peak Competition
Ferguson was roaring, and his opponent Wenger was no better than him, and he was also roaring at the Arsenal players on the field.

Only ten minutes into the game, Arsenal's goals have been subjected to huge tests one after another.This made Wenger very angry, and he was a little panicked. This is at Old Trafford. If his defense is still such a bastard, it will be no wonder that he can hold it.

Of course, Wenger will not change his tactics at this time. Active offensive tactics are the established policy and the most suitable for Arsenal. He will not change them casually.He was just reprimanding the defense, pushing his hands forward, signaling his own players to move the defense forward, and not to give Manchester United a chance to shoot too close to the penalty area.

The slow motion is replaying Yin Jun’s direct free kick just now. The replay shows that after Yin Jun’s shot passed the top of Toure’s head, after being pounced by Lehman, it bounced off the lower edge of the crossbar and fell right on the ground. The goal line, but the football obviously did not cross the line as a whole, and the goal was indeed missed.

The game had just started, and Manchester United kept shooting, there were conflicts on the field, there were people injured and receiving treatment on the sidelines, and there was a suspected unsolved case at the goal line... The scene of the game was so intense that people were so nervous that they couldn't breathe. It can be said that No pee throughout.

"It's so exciting! This is the peak matchup we hope to see!" Lineker shouted.

………………

After a simple examination by the team doctor, Vieira confirmed that there is no problem and can return to the court to play.

Wenger also breathed a sigh of relief. The 27-year-old French midfielder is not only the captain of Arsenal, the soul of the team, but also an indispensable member of Arsenal's tactical system.He has excellent physical fitness, super confrontation ability, flexibility and good foot skills. He is a near-perfect defensive midfielder.He also has super leadership ability and exemplary role. He is one of the most feared midfielders in the Premier League and a key figure for Arsenal to fight against Manchester United.If he leaves the field due to injury, it will be a fatal blow to Arsenal.Take today's game as an example, Arsenal took the initiative to attack away, but if Vieira leaves first, then Arsenal's tactics can only be forced to change.

Arsenal took the initiative to attack, while Manchester United used defensive counterattacks to deal with their opponents.Ferguson believed that Arsenal's right-back Lauren was a relatively weak link for Arsenal, so he set Manchester United's counterattack direction on the left, allowing Ronaldo to constantly attack Lauren's back.This made Ronaldo very happy, and he was very active on the field.

In the 21st minute, facing Lauren's block, he continued to pedal a bicycle, and Lauren, who was a little annoyed by the shaking, knocked him down directly.

Manchester United won a free kick from the left side of the front field near the corner flag area. Giggs came to take the penalty. He missed the goal and headed the ball over the net.

Then, with a quick Arsenal goal-kick, Lehmann kicked the ball over to Keown and continued his attack towards United's half.

………………

Gilberto Silva is known in football as the "invisible wall", but he is always there when the opposition turns from defense to the defense.Gilberto Silva tackles decisively and fiercely. For offensive players, Gilberto Silva is difficult to deal with.

Perhaps many people think that Gilberto is a purely defensive midfielder, but this understanding is wrong.As a Brazilian international, Gilberto's assisting ability and even scoring ability are equally remarkable.

Although his speed is slow, his technique is excellent. In this game, he also shoulders the task of dribbling the ball in the midfield.

This time, Keown kicked the football directly to Gilberto. When the latter pulled the ball and turned around, he had already observed the situation in front of him from the corner of his eye, and it was a long pass.

After receiving the ball in the frontcourt, Ljungberg dribbled the ball all the way forward.

Gary Neville defending Freddie Ljungberg.Manchester United's right-back defense is very solid and did not give Ljungberg a chance to move on.

Ljungberg did not force a cross, because at this time Arsenal only had Henry on the front line, and Bergkamp had not yet rushed up.Among Manchester United's tall defensive crowd, it is very difficult for Henry to compete for a high point.

Ljungberg passed the ball back, and Ashley Cole, who assisted, got the ball and passed it directly.

Bergkamp, ​​who had just moved forward, made a transition in the middle, and then struck again.

………………

"Lauren! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Arsenal's right-back Lauren desperately got rid of Ronaldo's entanglement and just caught up. He faced the football rolling in the horizontal direction and went up to complete a long shot.

At the same time, Roy Keane arrived at the most critical moment, and he fell to the ground and slid the shovel.

The Manchester United midfielder's raised right foot touched the football, and the football changed upwards and flew directly to the stands.At the same time, there was a strong collision between the two sides: Lauren completed the swing of the shot, and her calf slammed into Keane's raised right foot.

In this collision, the defender risked injury to block the shot and did not evade. The attacker risked injury but also did not flinch. Then the two screamed at the same time and fell to the ground.

Regarding this collision, Wenger, who has always been known for his gentleness, almost burst into foul language.After Dixon retired, the Cameroon international became Arsenal's most indispensable right-back.As a right-back, Lauren not only has excellent defensive ability, but also often assists and sends threatening crosses.

Although Lauren's reputation is not as high as the others in the Arsenal team, Wenger values ​​him very much on both offense and defense.

Most importantly, it is very difficult for Wenger to find a qualified replacement for Lauren!
On Manchester United's side, Ferguson also cursed angrily. Although Keane has a hot temper, for Manchester United, he is not only a barrier in front of the defense, but also the captain of the team. He can be called the soul.Manchester United with him and Manchester United without him have very different styles.If Keane is missing, Manchester United will always feel lack of hardness!
Now that Keane may be injured, or even unable to continue the game, how can Ferguson not be angry.

The team doctors from both sides entered the field and were examining the two people respectively.On the sidelines, two stretchers are ready and ready to enter at any time.

The Manchester United and Arsenal fans in the stands fell silent.

Keane is a veteran of Manchester United and the favorite captain of the Red Devils fans.

Lauren is an important part of Arsenal's defense. He is a player that the fans love very much. Arsenal fans can't imagine what Lauren will do if he is injured.
