Chapter 168 Breaking Out of the Net
2:1, Arsenal reversed the score!
Their tireless attack paid off and they were not killed by Manchester United's midfield cutting tactics.
Ferguson suddenly discovered that this tactic seemed to be ineffective. Manchester United's bravery did not make the Arsenal people timid, but instead aroused the bloodiness of the Arsenal people. This is what Ferguson least wanted to see.
Since Pires did not break through just now, but chose to hand the ball to Vieira, we can see that Arsenal's tactics have actually changed. They seem to be attacking in a more concise way.
And isn't this kind of attacking method what Manchester United likes best?
Get the ball in the midfield, quickly transfer the ball to the frontcourt, and then quickly create murderous opportunities...
When did they learn it?
Damn...
Ferguson cursed secretly in his heart. He didn't expect Wenger's thinking to change so much. Wenger is an old stubborn and rarely changes his tactical thinking, but this time, Wenger really changed.
In order to win, it seems that Wenger has also learned to change, and he learned it from Manchester United.
After Arsenal reversed the score, they finally slowed down the offensive pace slightly. After all, they were ahead and there was no need to leave too much room for Manchester United to counterattack.
However, Manchester United still got a good counterattack opportunity in the 40th minute. Scholes made a direct pass from midfield. Rooney got rid of Ashley Cole and broke through from the right side of the penalty area, but the final shot was missed by Almunia. Block out.
But Arsenal soon responded in kind.
42nd minute,
Arsenal made a long pass into the frontcourt. Bergkamp used his outstanding skills to stop the ball on the right side of the penalty area and then pushed the ball but was blocked by Carroll. The whole process was like Bergkamp dancing a waltz. In his eyes, Manchester United's defense seemed Like wooden stakes, if Carroll hadn't made accurate judgment, Arsenal would have led 3:1.
Seeing how fierce Bergkamp was, Ferguson finally couldn't help but look at the bench. He also had such a veteran who was not on the bench.
Giggs!
Yes, he's going to bring on Giggs, but not until the damn first half is over.
He turned his head and saw Manchester United's counterattack again.
During the counterattack, Rooney struggled with Vieira in the frontcourt, but still removed the ball with his chest. Unfortunately, the referee's whistle sounded.
Handball.
Rooney was very dissatisfied and went directly to the referee for argument. He was so excited that he chattered in front of the referee for a long time. The referee couldn't bear it and directly showed him a yellow card.
But Rooney was still unrelenting, his head seemed to be stimulated. The referee had no choice but to immediately call captain Keane over and ask him to persuade Rooney.
But the first one to come over was Dong Fangzhuo. Dong Fangzhuo grabbed Rooney's shoulders and dragged him away forcefully.
"You are so calm! Do you want to get a red card and Manchester United beat 10 against 11?"
"If you don't want to, shut up right now!"
Dong Fangzhuo would not comfort Rooney, but tell Rooney a bloody and cruel fact.
If these facts can't calm Rooney immediately, then Rooney may be possessed by the devil.
Buzz——
Rooney's head was like a big clock being hit by a wooden stick, and it fell silent instantly.
Keane only walked halfway when he discovered that Rooney had been dealt a blow by Dong Fangzhuo.
so amazing!
Does this guy know hypnosis?
Rooney is too impulsive. Being impulsive because of impulsiveness will not bring any good results at all. Keane shook his head in his heart and was a little disappointed with Rooney...
Fortunately, the first half of the game is finally over.
Rooney's impulsiveness also gave Ferguson a good reason. He asked Giggs to replace Rooney. The formation did not change, it was still 4321, and Dong Fangzhuo was still the arrow, but Ruud Ruud was already warming up off the court.
For Manchester United in the second half, there was only one way left to attack. Losing means nothing, and a draw means nothing.
But Arsenal was still the first to threaten the opponent, and Henry began to threaten.
In the 47th minute, Henry shot with his right foot from 17 yards in the middle, but the weak shot was directly confiscated by Carroll.
In the 51st minute, Ljungberg passed Henry and the Frenchman entered the penalty area after stopping the ball on his chest, but Sylvester made a key clearance when the ball fell and poked the ball out.
In the 53rd minute, Bergkamp made continuous breakthroughs with the ball and then passed the ball to the right. Lauren's shot from the right side of the penalty area was blocked by Heinze.
Arsenal's two guns were in excellent form, putting Manchester United's defense through a terrifying test. If it weren't for Carroll's cheating and the bravery of the defenders, Manchester United's goal would have been riddled with holes and beaten into a sieve.
But there is an old saying in football games, when you waste too many opportunities, you will be punished!
When Arsenal's offense was in full swing, as if it was about to trample Manchester United to death and push it into hell, goalkeeper Carroll started the attack by throwing the ball in the backcourt. He did not waste time in front of the goal as usual, but He threw the ball to Giggs on the left with all his strength.
Giggs only came up in the second half, and he had a lot of physical strength. Maybe he had had enough of the performances of Bergkamp, Ljungberg and Pires on the bench, so after he got the ball, he drove straight in from the left, with only Laurent on the left. Face him alone.
How could a veteran like Giggs, who has been in the football world for more than 20 years, be afraid of a mere Laurent? He continuously changed directions and spiked the ball from the left, causing Lauren to stumble and lose his balance.
Although his progress with the ball was not as good as at his peak, when Lauren got up again, Giggs had already dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area, but he did not want to face the tall Campbell anymore.
He would rather pass the ball out, he saw Dong Fangzhuo.
He cleverly passed the ball directly to the right rib of the penalty area, and the ball passed between Campbell and Xigan. Xigan was not a wooden stake this time, but he still didn't mark the man tightly. He originally followed Dong Fangzhuo to approach the middle, but he didn't expect that Dong Fangzhuo suddenly braked and turned back. He opened the distance between him and then stepped forward.
Giggs' pass came just right and was not offside!
Although the angle was very small, about 30 degrees from the goal, Dong Fangzhuo knew that he could not miss such a shooting opportunity.
He didn't even look at the goal or make any adjustments, he just volleyed with his right foot. As if all the strength of the body was concentrated on the right calf, this powerful and heavy diagonal shot went straight to the far corner of the goal!
Almunia never thought that Dong Fangzhuo would still choose to shoot from such a small angle.
His reaction was really not fast enough. When the ball rushed past his eyes, his hands had no time to keep up.
"goooooooooooooooa1!"
"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooa1!"
"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooa1!"
A powerful ejaculation!
The ball hit the side net and was about to break out...
…
At that moment, Highbury was eerily quiet.
