Almighty legend life

Chapter 394 One Man's Team ([-])

"Arsenal is only Liu's team. If Liu is removed, Arsenal will be a second-rate team in the Premier League at best." This is Ferguson's speech in an interview with the media before the start of the No.20 three-round league.

Ferguson's speech caused a certain sensation in the media, but it did not affect Arsenal's preparations. Wenger is very familiar with this old opponent. He knew that this was an off-the-board trick used by Ferguson. Kevin Keegan uttered irrational behaviors such as "Ferguson is an asshole" in public, which shows how familiar the Scots are with this kind of off-the-box trick.

But Wenger was unmoved. At the same time, he also actively communicated with the team members and asked Liu Han to participate in more activities with his teammates, so the atmosphere in the Arsenal team is good. These young people are not as good as Ferguson. Just a few words made Liu Han troublesome. For this Arsenal team, young people's desire for glory exceeds money and benefits.

Old Trafford Stadium, the home stadium of Manchester United, was nicknamed "Dream Theater" by the team's legendary star Bobby Charlton. It can accommodate [-] spectators. It is the only stadium in England selected by UEFA. The three-star five-star stadium is also the second largest stadium in the UK after Wembley. As one of the most prestigious teams in England, Old Trafford has played countless wonderful games with Manchester United. .

Compared with Arsenal's Highbury Stadium, this is more in line with the identity of the Premier League's top team. Every time Wenger enters here, apart from his disdain for the enemy, he is only envious. He also hopes that his team can There is a modern stadium.

It was the first time for Liu Han to step into Old Trafford. For Manchester United, he knew nothing about the strength of the opponent, so the "Bronze Statue of Sir Busby" outside the stadium And he does not know the specific commemorative significance of the "Munich Clock" in the stadium.

Ferguson was not too surprised when he got Arsenal's lineup. Except that Ribery, who was less than 17 years old, got the starting lineup, which surprised Ferguson, everything else was in his expectation.

But if he could hear Wenger's tactical arrangement in the visiting team's locker room at this time, it is estimated that the cunning Sir Alex Ferguson would never think that he guessed Arsenal's tactics correctly.

Wenger did not put up a stable 442 formation like the previous game, but a 352 formation emphasizing the midfield. Liu Han sits in the center and Henry and Ribery are partners on the front line. Of course, if it is With such a lineup, Ferguson might laugh happily, because such a lineup is within his expectations.

"Since Sir Alex Ferguson thinks that our team is Liu's team alone, we must help him fulfill his wish. What do you think?" Wenger's words made the players who were about to support the coach's tactical arrangement somewhat at a loss.

"Well, gentlemen, how about we surprise them a little?" Wenger said, grinning more sinisterly than ever.

With the whistle of the referee, the highlight of the No.20 Premier League three rounds officially kicked off. Manchester United kicked off first.

Manchester United is still in the usual 442 formation today, with a diamond-shaped midfield position. Ferguson did not adopt any more extreme tactics because he has seen through Arsenal's tactics. His consistent style is to adapt to all changes.

The "Black Wind Shuangsha" on the front line kicked the ball and passed it back. The Arsenal team also expanded their formation immediately. The two sides fought in the midfield from the beginning.

Compared with the stability of Manchester United's midfield, the current Arsenal team not only has a solid defense, but also has good agility. The cooperation of the players is becoming more and more tacit. The field has the advantage.

Manchester United's first attack failed to form a shot. Beckham made a cross from the right at a 45-degree angle, but the first point was pushed out by Dixon. The veteran's judgment on the placement was very accurate.

The kicked ball fell to Liu Han's feet. He didn't take it too much, and didn't turn around. He directly passed the ball with his left foot to the left side of the court, where Ljungberg was already in place.

Next, Arsenal's lineup suddenly changed. The two Frenchmen, Ribery and Henry, were originally at the forefront, but when Arsenal attacked, their positions suddenly retreated, and then they made a cross. Ribery went to the left to meet Ljungberg, while Henry retreated to the right midfield.

At this time, Liu Han kept running forward as if he didn't pay attention to the ball at all, even reaching the hinterland of Manchester United.

The sudden change of the Arsenal team caught Manchester United by surprise. Although Ferguson emphasized the defense against Liu Han before the game, he did not arrange specific marking candidates. After all, from the previous game, Liu Han was more in the middle. , Tandem teams.

Keane has been holding his breath since he was abused by Liu Han in the first game. He wanted to compete with this arrogant Oriental again, so as soon as Liu Han arrived in the frontcourt, Keane immediately posted it.

Ljungberg and Franck Ribery played a one-two on the left. Ribery, who was extremely fast, did not have the slightest timidity in the face of the experienced Gary Neville. Neville had no way to overtake from the outside.

Ribéry, after strong map of Neville, once again accelerated to cut in and stabbed towards Manchester United's ribs.

At this time, Ribery was facing Beckham. This "heartbeat" with a charming appearance actually also has good defensive ability and physical strength.

However, Ribery did not take more, but directly crossed the middle, and Liu Han in the middle had already squeezed Keane's defense.

Liu Han, who squeezed Keane away, ran towards the ball. He didn't stay where he was and waited for the pass. Behind him, Keane was pulling Liu Han's jersey covertly, but the effect was not great.

Liu Han moved forward facing the ball, and at the moment of receiving the ball, he suddenly tapped the ball inside with the heel of his left foot, and then quickly turned around and broke through towards the goal.

Liu Han's action surprised Kean behind him. Once the opponent broke into the penalty area, it would be difficult to defend, so Keane immediately fell to the ground with a shovel, ready to give Liu Han a hard time.

However, at the moment when Keane fell to the ground, Liu Han stretched his left foot forward after knocking the ball, and then moved the ball to the right side of his body again. shift.

Liu Han's movements were done in one go, and extremely fast, completely shaking Kean who had fallen to the ground with a shovel.

At this time, there was no one around Liu Han defending. Facing such a situation, Liu Han suddenly volleyed with his right foot.

Barthez was not happy at Manchester United. The bad weather here is not at all as dry as Marseille.

Facing Liu Han's cold shot, Barthez was not prepared enough, and his sight was blocked by the defender, so he could only save it by feeling towards the far post, but Liu Han's shot was very sudden, and the angle speed was excellent , Barthez can only look at the ball and sigh.

Arsenal's first shot of the game broke through Manchester United's gate.
