My uncle is Inzaghi.

Chapter 108 Who says he doesn’t have the ability to work alone?

Chapter 108 Who says he doesn’t have the ability to work alone?

Wenger was right.

Ferguson did not choose conservative tactics just because his team was ahead by three points. Instead, from the beginning of the game, they pressed up and attacked aggressively.

This is the Theater of Dreams after all!

Arsenal, on the other hand, quickly stepped into the role.

Cazorla and Diaby returned from injury, giving Wenger a few more cards.

In the starting position, midfielders Diaby, Arteta, and Cazorla are in the middle, with Walcott and Chamberlain on both sides.

Arsenal kicked a score of 451.

Forming an encirclement and suppression of Manchester United in the midfield.

And once there is a chance.

Just go forward and find Li Mo.

In fact, Li Mo also has defensive tasks.

But instead of rushing to steal the ball, he moved his position and blocked the passing line, forcing Manchester United's backcourt players to either throw the ball with their feet or pass the ball according to the passing line Arsenal wanted them to pass.

So far, Li Mo's understanding of tactics is still in place.

His several position selections successfully defused Ferdinand's desire to directly connect with active forwards in dangerous areas of the frontcourt.

Manchester United's forward combination Rooney and Robin van Persie also have a division of labor.

Van Persie is mainly responsible for scoring, while Rooney drops back and participates in the organization of the midfield and frontcourt.

The two of them cooperated with each other in tandem.

Especially when Arsenal's midfielder has a large number of players, Rooney almost returns to the midfielder position to receive the ball.

Both sides understand each other too well.

At the beginning of the game, the two sides made contact.

There are basically no secrets left.

How you want to play, how I want to deal with it.

Both sides are clear.

This is bound to be a hard fight.

Manchester United is indeed a bit magical.

Their attacks were like a tidal wave, coming one after another.

Although there are not many very complicated passes, the offensive method is also wide open.

But Manchester United's offensive has been continuous.

They can always form second, third, fourth offense.

He was able to constantly seize the ball and form multiple attacks, which made Arsenal's defense very tight.

"Valencia. Crossed directly from the wing!! Van Persie!! Oh oh oh! It was so dangerous! The Dutch forward almost scored!"

There were exclamations at Old Trafford.

The momentum seemed to squeeze people's chests to the point where they couldn't breathe.

Van Persie put his head in his hands, extremely annoyed.

Wenger frowned.

He is very aware of Van Persie's ability. If he is in good condition, he will be as dangerous as Li Mo on the front line. Now that Manchester United is at home, they have more attacking opportunities and times than Arsenal.

"Manchester United's offensive was so intense that they once formed an encirclement against Arsenal! This is Manchester United, and this is Ferguson. Ferguson said before the game that Manchester United is still the champion. Yes, this is the strength of the champion!!"

the commentators chanted.

The first half of the game has gone on for twenty-five minutes.

On the scene, Manchester United has a great advantage.

Every time they attack they seem to score.

But unfortunately, Arsenal blocked their offensive.

Although there seemed to be a lot of noise in front of the goal, the ball was not conceded.

This is somewhat surprising.

Ferguson frowned unconsciously.

In fact, he has always been privately dissatisfied with the "young technical flow" reform implemented by Wenger at Arsenal.

He thought it was a "sissy style" reform.

This is in England. If the team is full of weak guys, how can they conquer the Premier League?

The intensity of physical confrontation here is much higher than in continental Europe.

but now.

He must admit that this Arsenal team impressed him.

They were very resilient and maintained very good tactical discipline even after being suppressed for more than 20 minutes.

He knows Arsenal didn't suddenly become like this.

Many of Arsenal's players are young, but that also means they have a lot of potential for growth.

Especially this season, many of Arsenal's young players have grown up - although Arsenal was eliminated from the Champions League, this is not meaningless for Arsenal.

Even to a certain extent.

Reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League this season is of great significance to Arsenal.

He allowed the young players in the Arsenal team to be tempered and grown, gave the entire team confidence, and gave them a lot of experience in playing against strong teams.

Even in such a suppressed situation, they can deal with it calmly.

Although Arsenal's players were suppressed, their spirits were still high.

We were able to eliminate Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Champions League, but Manchester United was eliminated by Dortmund. In comparison, it seems that we are still stronger.

The reason why we are being suppressed now is because we just played in the Champions League semi-finals three days ago and consumed too much.

As long as we have the chance, we will definitely be able to penetrate Manchester United's goal. After all, our forward is Li Mo, the best forward this season.

With such belief.

Although Arsenal failed to get any good offensive opportunities and basically defended, they were not in a hurry and seemed very calm and calm.

This is growth.

Wenger still regretted sending his main players to the away game against Bayern when they were almost certain to be eliminated in the Champions League semi-finals.

But now it seems.

A goalless draw in an away game is quite meaningful for Arsenal.

At least this didn't dampen the morale Arsenal had built up.

It even made their players more confident.

"Arsenal is still defending, they seem very passive, but twenty-five minutes have passed and they haven't conceded a goal yet!"

"Manchester United must also be careful. They are facing the pressure of being the top scorer in the Champions League this season!"

Although Li Mo has left the Champions League, no one thinks that anyone can break Li Mo's Champions League scoring record this season.

I won’t say anything about Bayern.

The player with the most goals in their team is Franck Ribery, who scored 7 goals.

As for Dortmund, which met Bayern in the final, Lewandowski scored the most goals, scoring 11.

Lewandowski needs to score 6 goals in a game to tie Li Mo.

If someone can score six goals in a single game in the Champions League final, then the shock will definitely be much greater than the Champions League top scorer.

Li Mo didn't get many opportunities.

But he was in no hurry.

Because he knows that what the team needs now is defense.

However, Li Mo devoted himself to the few offensive opportunities he had.

If only I could score a goal now.

The situation will be reversed by Arsenal.

"Casorla passed the ball straight! Li Mo! He caught the ball!"

Li Mo turned the ball around and faced the goal head-on.

His basic skills are good, but he has not specifically practiced dribbling skills. Long-distance dribbling breakthroughs are not his specialty.

At least, compared with those dribbling masters, his dribbling is indeed not too sharp.

Moreover, he is a big man here, and it is really difficult for him to move around in a small area.

Even if he had to complete a one-on-one breakthrough at certain times, he would do so by using his own starting speed.

Therefore, Manchester United's defense can also be very targeted.

In this game, Manchester United's midfield combination was Carrick paired with Phil Jones.

In Ferguson's hands.

Phil Jones, an England central defender who is considered very promising, has played almost every position in the backcourt.

He sometimes plays as a right back and sometimes as a defensive midfielder.

Although the technique is rough, he is better because of his good body, good speed, strong confrontation ability, and also has a fighting spirit. Ferguson likes this kind of player.

The last time Arsenal played against Manchester United, Cleverley was still the main force in the center of Manchester United's midfield.

After several injuries.

It’s now the end of the league.

Ferguson would rather let Jones play as a guest midfielder than put Cleverley on.

There are still many midfielders available on Manchester United's bench.

Japanese international players Shinji Kagawa and Cleverley are both there.

But Cleverley is too crispy and Shinji Kagawa is too thin.

Not suitable for this kind of powerful conversation. Phil Jones, who had not suffered any injuries, was still very energetic, very fast, and his kicks were very fierce. The physical confrontation seemed to be life-threatening.

Facing the opponent's entanglement, Li Mo also had some troubles, and behind him there was an old scumbag Ferdinand who was always ready to rob him.

Li Mo naturally does not think that he has the ability to break through Manchester United's entire defense line by himself.

So he chose to pass the ball.

Walcott has come to answer.

So he raised the arch of his right foot and pushed, intending to pass the ball to Walcott himself before continuing to move forward.

Jones originally planned to come up and have a passionate collision with Li Mo first.

But the opponent passed the ball.

This made him very unhappy.

This coward, let's try it if he has the ability.

Who would have thought that the ball passed by Li Mo at this time just hit the ankle of his supporting foot.

Although Jones soon came up with a ladylike leg.

But the football still passed under his crotch.

Crotchless! !

Jones had no idea that the football would pass under his crotch.

Li Mo was also stunned for a moment, but he reacted quickly and rushed forward at the wrong time.

By the time Jones reacted and chased after him, Li Mo had already taken the ball out.

"Crotch-piercing is awesome!! 1"

There was an exclamation in the commentary box.

They didn't know that Li Mo originally planned to pass the ball, and thought that the sideways movement in the direction of Walcott was a fake move.

"What a realistic fake!" Andy Gray shouted.

anyway.

Jones gets crotched.

Li Mo was able to get a large gap, and he headed towards the frontcourt with the ball.

But he won't be able to face Manchester United's goalkeeper right away.

Because behind Jones there are Ferdinand and Evans.

Ferguson was calm.

Because he saw that there were basically no Arsenal players coming up to participate in the attack. This was mainly because the Arsenal players did not expect Li Mo to choose to go over.

So now it is Li Mo who carries the ball forward alone.

So what are you afraid of?

If only Ferdinand could be passed so easily.

He is not worth 2002 million pounds - that was a transfer fee of nearly million pounds in . Converted to now, it is definitely over million.

In addition, Li Mo has never been a forward known for his dribbling and breakthrough.

As long as the connection between him and other Arsenal players is cut off, no matter how talented he is, he can only be a caged bird, hunted by the Manchester United defense.

And Li Mo is still young after all.

Ferguson knows how to train young people, and of course he also knows the characteristics of young people.

A guy like Li Mo, who has been making waves on the court at a young age, can easily become superstitious about his abilities and think that he can do anything.

There was obviously no chance this time, but he still continued to lead the way, which proved this - this little guy is full of confidence, which is a good thing on the one hand, but also has disadvantages on the other hand.

Li Mo planned to take a step, move away from the angle and shoot.

However, Ferdinand opposite him was still quite difficult to deal with. As soon as his center of gravity changed, the opponent anticipated Li Mo's plan. As soon as the ball was released, Ferdinand seized the opportunity to grab it.

Li Mo's ball was poked away by Ferdinand.

The football fell to Carrick's feet.

Old Trafford burst into cheers.

"Li Mo was intercepted!"

"Too young."

"Facing Ferdinand, Li Mo's handling this time seemed relatively immature."

"The effect of Li Mo working alone is not good."

The narrator is criticizing.

Wenger was applauding and encouraging Li Mo.

Let Li Mo do it alone and not expect to score. He just wants to delay the opponent's offensive momentum as much as possible and slightly interrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm.

There are Podolski, Giroud and other players on the Arsenal bench.

Can be used as a backup.

In this game, Wenger planned to strike later. After all, the team had just returned from Munich, and it would definitely not be possible to hedge against Manchester United, who was playing at home.

Anyway, Li Mo has rested for a week, and his physical fitness is not a problem. It would be better to let him pester the opponent's defense more. The harder he pesters, the less pressure will be placed on his own backcourt players. After Manchester United's offensive is frustrated, Arsenal can consider fighting back. .

Ferguson, on the other hand, was sitting on the coaching bench with a calm expression.

A very successful defense, but that doesn't mean much.

Li Mo watched as Carrick made a through ball and was met by Rooney. Rooney turned around at the edge of the penalty area and volleyed the ball directly over the crossbar.

Li Mo was intercepted, giving Manchester United a good offensive opportunity.

This allowed him to hear the jeers of the fans in the Old Trafford stands as soon as he got the ball.

"Live it! Keep living it!"

"Let's take a look at Arsenal's dribbling master."

"Oh oh oh oh, this dribbling master is going to cry in front of Leo!"

The ball came from the backcourt, and Li Mora received the ball.

One of the characteristics of the English stadium is that the stands are very close to the stadium. When standing on the sideline, Li Mo could even feel the droplets flying when the Manchester United fans roared beside the stands.

He easily hooked the ball back that was about to fly out of the court.

The football was firmly at his feet.

Ferguson, who was not far away, couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

Just by stopping the ball, we can see that although Li Mo rarely occupies the ball, his ability with the ball is indeed quite good. Although it is not top-notch, it is still considered top-notch among Premier League players. The top level.

In just one season, this guy went from having poor basic skills to where he is now.

This speed of progress once again made Ferguson wonder whether the old guy Wenger had obtained AI robots that could learn independently from some technology consortium.

This is very unreasonable!

Ferguson watched helplessly as Li Mo got rid of the short Raphael.

Although Li Mo is not a dribbling expert, he is physically strong. He stopped the ball, pushed Rafael away with his back, and then turned around. With such a small body, Rafael tried to pull the ball with both hands, and his whole body was almost hanging. Li Mo didn't even hold him back.

Ferguson forgot to chew his gum after seeing this.

Li Mo is not top-notch purely in terms of technique, but combined with his height, strength and speed.

It would be a big deal to have him fully charged.

Sure enough, Li Mo also knew that if he wanted to play tricks and fight with a guy like Ferdinand, he was still a little short of the mark.

Therefore, he chose not to practice martial ethics.

Facing Ferdinand who came to defend him, he dunked with his left foot and stepped with his right foot.

Let’s race! old man!

Ferdinand was there to make up for Raphael.

He didn't expect that Raphael was about to hang his body on Li Mo before he could hold him back. He rushed forward and before he could gain a firm footing, Li Mo was about to dunk him. Of course Ferdinand knew that if he was stepped on by Li Mo, He couldn't catch up if he got up.

Ferdinand subconsciously stretched out his hand. In his mind, he could see Raphael hanging on Li Mo and failing to hold him back, so he also stretched out his feet.

A very beautiful hook and push, leveraging the strength of the kick, to move a thousand pounds.

It's a pity that this is a football field, not a wrestling field.

Not only does Ferdinand's action not allow him to score points, he is also very likely to get a card!

Li Mo, who had just started to speed up, was pulled to the ground.

At the same time, the referee's whistle also came to mind.

The moment Wenger saw Li Mo fall, he stared and shouted: "Red card!!"

"Red card!!!"

Other Arsenal players also raised their hands.

Walcott rushed up: "There is no one behind him! There is no one behind him!!"

Ferguson stood up suddenly.

He stared at the referee who was running over.

Amidst the boos.

Referee Atkins took the card out of his pocket.

yellow.

Ferguson breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, he began to lose the calmness he had before the start of the game.
