Chapter 749 The Unbreakable Arsenal
Chapter 749 The Unbreakable Arsenal
Chapter 749 The Unbreakable Arsenal
Manchester United wanted to use high-intensity pressing to disrupt Arsenal's organization, but they underestimated Arsenal's midfield intensity.
Both Lucky and Wilshere know how to fight physically, and their ability to hold the ball is also very good.
As a result, despite their pressure, they failed to disrupt Arsenal's overall rhythm.
From the perspective of the scene, Manchester United is doing more useless running and confrontation, but Arsenal is constantly testing with one pass.
Arsenal have a foundation for passing and controlling. Although they no longer play like this tactically, individual players' ability to hold the ball is still very good.
This is also the reason why Arsenal can still stabilize when facing Liverpool's press.
It is difficult for even Liverpool to disrupt Arsenal's rhythm quickly, let alone Manchester United.
The game time passed a little bit, and 10 minutes later, Manchester United still robbed again, but the effect was not obvious, but it felt like being slipped for fun.
"Manchester United! They obviously haven't specially trained high-position pressing tactics. The overall linkage is too bad! Every pressing is one by one. Arsenal only need to pass the ball to solve the trouble."
"The core of the high press is to 'go together'. It is necessary to block the opponent's passing channel while pressing, but Manchester United has done a poor job in this regard!"
Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray shook his head, he couldn't stand it anymore.
Manchester United played very hard, but it was too reckless.
And this kind of recklessness is the kind of recklessness that has no brains at all, kicking chaotically, and the rhythm is scattered.
In contrast, Arsenal played with ease.
This made both the commentator and the fans anxious.
The camera focused on Ferguson's face in the stands. The old jazz was also chewing gum at a rapid rate, his brows were furrowed, obviously extremely dissatisfied with Manchester United's performance.
But he is no longer the head coach, and he can't help it.
Looking worried!
At this moment, Arsenal suddenly played a wonderful attack on the wing.
Lucky knocked the ball to Mane, and Mane crossed Wilshere. With Wilshere on his back, he rubbed the ball with the outside of his instep and passed it to the neutral behind.
Mane ran at full speed immediately, pulling out a body in an instant.
"Mane is down!!"
Andy Gray exclaimed.
Manchester United fans at Old Trafford also gasped.
However, Mane didn't seem to have adjusted and failed to play the ball immediately. When he adjusted and made a cross, Valencia had already followed, and the ball hit the opponent's calf and flew out of the baseline.
"Mane failed to kick the ball successfully, but this attack is a dangerous signal. Manchester United can no longer give Arsenal the opportunity to go down. Once the pass is successful, Arsenal will have Lukaku in the penalty area. Kay also moved forward quickly to form the second point of contention, and in this case, Manchester United's goal is in jeopardy!"
Andy Gray shook his head and said, "We said at the beginning that if Manchester United concedes a goal, their situation will become extremely bad!"
"Arsenal's corner!"
Robertson stepped forward to take the corner kick.
Robertson raised his hand and immediately took a corner kick.
The corner kick was extremely close to the goal, and Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea reacted quickly and knocked the ball out with both hands.
Kanter, who was protecting from the rear, looked at the falling ball. He failed to stop, the ball hit his calf and flew towards Pogba.
How could Pogba give up such a good opportunity to give the ball to Rashford with one kick.
"Kante made a mistake, Pogba spread the ball wide, Manchester United's counterattack!"
Andy Gray's eyes lit up.
This might be United's best chance of scoring a goal.
Kanter hurriedly chased him back.
But Rashford was too fast, he and Zlatan Ibrahimovic completed a wall cooperation and passed Bellerin.
Rashford directly chooses to cut inside.
Seeing Rashford getting closer to the goal, Arsenal's defense suddenly panicked.
"Stop him!"
With a roar, Martinez came to the near post.
Jimenez stepped forward quickly.
But without waiting for the opponent to settle down, Rashford made a cross.
The ball flew towards Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who stood upright, making it difficult for Hummels to make defensive predictions.
At this moment, the ball slipped through Zlatan Ibrahimovic's crotch.
"Blind ball?"
Just as Hummels was about to make a move, Ibrahimovic swung his left foot towards the back side, a movement similar to a flower-arranging kick, and the ball flew into the far corner of the goal.
Manchester United scored a goal with this wonderful counterattack!
"Goal!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a light leg swing hook, the whole movement is easy and freehand, he helped Manchester United get the leading goal!"
"Of course, Rashford's breakthrough is also very exciting, Manchester United's counterattack is too fast!"
Old Trafford exploded.
Manchester United fans cheered violently.
They were extremely excited. In less than 20 minutes, they scored a goal and their hopes of advancing were greatly increased.
Lucky stopped and looked at Arsenal's goal helplessly.
In fact, a large part of this goal should be blamed on Kanter's stop problem.
However, Kanter also looked annoyed at this time, obviously he also knew what the problem was.
Blame it now, but it will continue to ossify Kanter's already unstable heart.
Lucky first pressed his hand towards the sidelines to stabilize Mourinho who was about to explode.
Mourinho stared fiercely at Kanter, and he did not allow such a mistake.
But after seeing Le Kai, Mourinho still held back.
Lucky has his own judgment, so he will stop himself.
Mourinho could only return to the bench with a stinky face.
There are few people in the world who can stabilize Mourinho, and Lucky is obviously one of them.
"Hey! Since it has already happened, don't think too much, and find a way to make up for it next."
Le Kai took the initiative to come to Kanter's side to comfort him, and finally tapped on Kanter's shoulder and left.
Kanter nodded a little frustrated.
He is still extremely sad about that conceded goal.
"Guys, don't pay too much attention to the conceded goal. We still have a one-goal lead. Focus on the game. Our offense is still effective. Next, we must concentrate and believe in yourselves!"
Le Kai is constantly shouting to attract the attention of the players.
At the same time, he looked at the Manchester United players who were celebrating. Did these guys celebrate for too long?
If the referee doesn't stop it, he will go to protest.
The referee quickly stopped it.
The Manchester United players returned to the half with smiles on their faces. This goal obviously boosted their morale.
"Arsenal conceded the ball, we didn't expect it to be in this way, Kante's stop was wrong, but we need to understand that any player makes mistakes and as a defensive player, this kind of mistake Even more deadly!"
"Kay has been shouting and encouraging his team-mates, which is the most important thing a captain should do, and although Manchester United recovered a goal, they are still one goal behind!"
"The next step is the key. Facing the morale of Manchester United, how should Arsenal respond?"
The goal boosted Manchester United's morale and their confidence was kicked out.
Arsenal's response to this is simple.
Boom! ! !
Lucky hit De Gea's palm with a long shot, the ball deviated and hit the goal post, and bounced off the baseline.
Le Kai stood still, and there was a fierce look in his eyes.
Arsenal's response is very simple, that is. just go back!
"hiss!!!!!!!!!!"
Andy Gray gasped, even now he was sweating for Manchester United.
This long-range shot was powerful and heavy, but Van de Gea lost the ball after a slow reaction.
And Lucky's attitude is also very good, Arsenal's state at this time.
They were not hit, but became more courageous.
The same is true. When Manchester United reorganized their attack, they felt more pressure.
The difficulty of each pass increases and becomes more difficult.
Arsenal's pressing rhythm in the frontcourt has also become fierce and fast.
This made Manchester United players have to be vigilant enough. As long as they relax a little bit, Arsenal can immediately launch a threatening attack.
The more Pogba kicked, the more frightened he became.
Are these guys invincible?
