Chapter 770 Against Arsenal

Ferguson stood nervously on the sidelines, and raised his wrist to look at his watch from time to time.The game has progressed to the 77th minute, and the score is still 1:1.Manchester United temporarily tied with Arsenal at home.

This is a result that Ferguson never expected. Facing Arsenal, which is short of major generals, especially Henry's absence due to injury, Ferguson's goal is to take all three points.But when the development trend of the game was not at all what Ferguson imagined, Arsenal took the lead early with a penalty kick.

In the 12th minute, Hleb made a direct pass from the right. Kuzzak, who represented Manchester United in the Premier League for the first time, attacked and fell Adebayor. The referee Ball awarded a penalty kick and Gilberto Silva took the penalty kick hit.

In the ensuing game, Manchester United has been catching up. However, it was not until the 59th minute of the second half that Manchester United passed Fletcher's cross from the right, and Yin Jun shook his head from 12 yards in the middle to help Manchester United equalize the score.

Ferguson used up all three of his substitutions in the 70 minutes of the game. As a result, Manchester United went from 433 to 244.

Yes, you read that right, it is indeed 244, not 442-left back Evra and right back Gary Neville, both were pushed into the midfield by Ferguson and turned into full-backs.At the same time, Yin Jun's position premise, together with Ronaldo, Rooney, and Solskjaer who just came off the bench for Rugigues, formed a four-forward lineup.Rooney and Solskjaer played center forwards, while Yin Jun and Ronaldo played inside forwards, cruising around the two center forwards, looking for opportunities.

At the same time, on the two wings, Evra, who has strong assist ability, took over Giggs' original job on the left, and Gary Neville is still on the right.Make full use of the characteristics that these two men are good at crossing, and pass the football into Arsenal's penalty area.Then Rooney and Solskjaer will compete for the first point, while Yin Jun and Ronaldo control the second point.

At the same time, the two midfielders, Carrick and Fletcher, must keep up in time, shorten the distance from the striker, control the third point, prepare for the second attack, and shoot long shots directly when they see the opportunity.

This is the desperate adjustment made by Ferguson in the last ten minutes of the game.

"Except for the goalkeeper and the two central defenders, almost all other Manchester United players have crossed the half-time. Even the two central defenders are standing on the center line. Such a scene looks really spectacular... Ha!" commentary Player John Mortensen laughed, "It's hard to imagine that this is a match between Ferguson and Wenger, and it's also hard to imagine that this is a match between Manchester United and Arsenal!"

………………

"Is that old man crazy?" Wenger looked at the ongoing game on the court and expressed such emotion.

"It's a win-or-lose attitude...this is not Ferguson's style!" Assistant coach Pat Rice next to him shook his head, "It's normal to want to win the game, but he doesn't think about it." , What if we lose instead of winning? Shall we take advantage of their opportunity to fight back?"

Manchester United's current backcourt space is as large as the endless African savannah, and they come out to attack with all their strength, and it is normal to want to hit their backs.

But Wenger shook his head and said: "No, Pat. At least not now. If we try to play their counter-attacks now instead of focusing on defense. Maybe we might be advanced by Manchester United before the counter-attack is successful. The ball... trust me, they have it."

Pat Rice also felt that what Wenger said made sense after hearing the words, so he stopped mentioning the counterattack.

Manchester United can be said to be the sufferer of Arsenal, especially in the previous four seasons, Arsenal has hardly won the two sides.

The most critical thing is Manchester United's offensive firepower. In the past three seasons, Manchester United's league goals were 90, 82, and 98, which is definitely the strongest attack line in the Premier League.

Although he verbally rejected the assistant coach's opinion, Wenger still began to seriously consider the possibility of attacking Manchester United.

Arsenal performed poorly this season. When the second round of the league was postponed due to the UEFA Champions League play-offs, they only scored 2 draws and 3 loss in the first 2 rounds. They are currently ranked 1th, creating a record of nearly 17 years. Worst start.

Although the season has just begun and the final record cannot be measured by the current position, Arsenal also urgently needs points to get rid of the current embarrassing position.

Thinking of this, Wenger glanced at the game time, and then said to Pat Rice: "Resist Manchester United's offense first, and we will try to counterattack in the last 5 minutes of the game."

Patrice nodded.

Now the game has been almost 10 minutes, in fact, it can't wait for long.

After Vieira, Campbell and others left the team, Arsenal is no longer the team with solid defense, but there is still no problem for the top five or six minutes.

"Ferguson chose a very aggressive approach. He hoped to beat Arsenal. But it also planted hidden dangers. If he was attacked by Arsenal and lost the game, it would be troublesome..." Seeing the stalemate in the battle, He Wei said, Manchester United attacked with all their strength, Arsenal huddled in their own penalty area and placed the bus, so they said.

He was really worried about it.

If you lose the game because you want to win, you will really lose a lot.

………………

Gary Neville sends in a direct cross from the right.

In front of the goal in the middle, Ronaldo jumped high, and under the interference of Kolo Touré, he still hit the football and headed the football towards Arsenal's goal!

Arsenal's German goalkeeper Lehmann soared into the air and tried his best to block it.After the football was blocked by him, it did not fly out of the baseline, but landed in the penalty area again.

Yin Jun rushed to the football's landing point before the football landed, but he still couldn't kick the ball.The football was kicked out of the bottom line by another Arsenal central defender, the Swiss international Julu...

Just as Zhu Lu's toes touched the football, Yin Jun's leg hit Monteya's thigh.It can be said that if Zhu Lu's movements were slower, the ball would have fallen into Yin Jun's control.

"It's dangerous!" John Mortensen exclaimed, "Yin almost made a follow-up shot! Julu's concentration is very focused!"

Arsenal's field captain Gilberto Silva pulled up Julu who had fallen to the ground and slapped him vigorously to express his gratitude and encouragement.

Facing a crazy attacking Manchester United, Arsenal need any move to defend the goal.Only when they are united can they survive Manchester United's offensive.

Arsenal's performance this season is relatively hip. In front of Manchester United, they are indeed not qualified to maintain a sense of pride and superiority.What should be desperate is to be desperate, even if it looks very embarrassing, it is better than losing the game.
