I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils - Chapter 390
Flew back to England from Spain, Ye Su and Manchester United immediately put into preparation for the next game.
Less than four days later, at 0:30 on February 26th, Beijing time, that is, at 5:30 pm on February 25th, local time in the UK, the 2017-2018 League Cup final will be played at the New Wembley Stadium by Manchester United. Against Arsenal.
Wenger’s team performed poorly in the Premier League this season. After 27 rounds, they only ranked sixth. Manchester United, which is behind the top of the table, has been as high as 28 points, leaving only the last theoretical hope of winning.
Not to mention the Premier League winning, the Gunners want to reach the top four of the standings, and they are under great pressure. They are behind the third to fifth ranked Tottenham, Chelsea and Liverpool by at least 4 points.
Coupled with Arsenal’s early elimination by Nottingham Forest in the third round of the FA Cup, known as the thermos cup, the League Cup has become Arsenal’s only hope this season.
After a large investment last summer, the Gunners’ record did not improve, and public opinion has repeatedly voiced Wenger’s dismissal of get out of class.
It can be said that this season, the League Cup is the “insulation cup” in the minds of gun fans!
If Arsenal make a mistake in this final, I’m afraid Wenger will really find it difficult to stay in the coaching position of the team he has played for more than two decades.
………………
“We are attacking.” Wenger made a final decision at Arsenal’s tactical analysis meeting. “My judgment is that Ye Su would not expect us to attack aggressively on the away field. Therefore, in this game, we caught them off guard and tried to get in early. ball.”
Wenger looked at the crowd and asked again: “Who has a different opinion?”
No one, no one dare to have it.
At the same time, Manchester United is also conducting a pre-match tactical analysis meeting.
“We are attacking!” Ye Su raised two fingers. “Wenger has two choices. The most likely is to defend himself first, so as not to lose the ball, but it does not rule out that Wenger wants to take a fight and strive to get ahead. ball.”
“However, no matter what Wenger chooses, my decision is to attack.” Ye Su said, “Our defense is good, our offense is better than the other side. Facing Arsenal, we have not lost yet, we are psychological Advantage.”
He shrugged and said: “We are not afraid of them in the league. There is no reason to be cautious in the cup.”
If you are so confident, it’s a boost. The players yelled, some clapped, some whistled.
………………
After the tactical analysis meeting, Wenger immediately went to war against Ye Su at the press conference.
Wenger declared that although Arsenal’s record against Ye Su’s Manchester United was at a disadvantage in the league, the cup is not the same as the league. Arsenal has a wealth of experience and confidence.
Ye Su immediately responded without showing weakness: I understand Wenger’s meaning, but he seems to have forgotten, even if he met in a cup match, he never beat me. And the cup championship I won in more than three years seems to have exceeded his total of 22 years!
The two teams had two encounters in the Cup during the Ye Su era. The first time was the 2014-2015 season of the FA Cup quarter-finals, and Wenger’s team lost 1:3. The second time was the Community Shield at the beginning of the season, and Wenger lost another 3:1!
Since Wenger entered Arsenal in 1996, he has won 6 FA Cups and 5 Community Shields in 22 years, a total of 11 Cup titles, which is considered very successful.
But Ye Su’s achievements are more brilliant than him. Since coaching Manchester United in early 2014, he has won 2 FA Cups, 2 League Cups, 3 Community Shields, 3 European Super Cups and 2 The World Club Cup, a total of 12 cup champions, just one trophy beyond Wenger.
Wenger was helpless, his face was a little bit painful, but he immediately stab Ye Su and said: “Ye Su has indeed won a lot of championships, but he will soon realize that he is far worse than me.”
“Yes, I am much younger than him.” Ye Su said.
Wenger felt that this guy was sarcastically saying that he was an old bone, and said angrily: “Some young people should respect seniors.”
Ye Su immediately responded: “Hello, senior, don’t cry if you lose.”
………………
The media and fans are very excited, and they watched the war of words between Wenger and Ye Su with relish.
Some reporters even sighed, as if they were back when Mourinho was still in the Premier League.
Some reporters even thought that the war of words between Ye Su and Wenger was more interesting than it was in the past.
The people who eat melons are very excited. One of the fans also posted a message saying that it’s really not possible. Let’s fight with you.
Ye Su even liked this post in particular, thinking that this suggestion is very reliable.
Wenger is angry: I can kill him with one hand!
It seems that the smell of gunpowder is very strong. Isn’t this a serious offline appointment? Isn’t it serious?
Outsiders really can’t think of it, the two of them actually have a pretty good relationship in private.
It is worth mentioning that Wenger and Ye Su had a heated quarrel, but none of the players of the two teams participated in the battle.
In fact, they were suffocated. But both Ye Su and Wenger prohibit players from participating in a war of words.
Both of us are hilarious, so don’t join in the fun and prepare for the battle with peace of mind.
Of course, it is a mouth-hi, in fact, the purpose of the two people is definitely not simple, they really hope to stimulate the other party and make the other party feel dizzy and faint.
A good relationship in private is a private matter. When you are an opponent, you will really kill you.
………………
The new Wembley Stadium is sunny this afternoon, and the stands are full. Fans from two clubs all over the world filled this super stadium with a capacity of 90,000 people.
“The players from both sides have entered the field and the game is about to begin. Let’s take a look at the starting lineups of both sides in this semi-final.” Zhan Jun’s voice sounded.
It was late at night, and this time period was very unfriendly to Chinese fans. However, after the statistics, the number of fans who watched the League Cup final between Manchester United and Arsenal was quite large.
“Arsenal’s side, the goalkeeper is their Cup goalkeeper Ospina. The three central defenders are made up of Chambers, Mustafi and Koscielny. In midfield, Zaka and Ramsey are in the middle, and Bele Lin and Monreal are separated on two wings; Goldfisheye, Sanchez and Aubameyang form a striker trident. The formation of Professor Wenger is a bit surprising. It seems that he really wants to win Ye Su a game. ”
Ye Su was also a little surprised by Arsenal’s starting lineup.
He didn’t expect Wenger to risk the 343 formation, which is obviously going to fight Manchester United!
………………
After the game started, Wenger sat in his seat, he was staring at the Manchester United players, thinking about Ye Su’s starting lineup.
The 433 lineup is basically Ye Su’s standard for the past two seasons, and the goalkeeper is Argentine Romero. The central defender partners are Smalling and Phil Jones. Van Dyke and Maguire both fought in Spain in midweek. The left back is Ashley Young, and the right back is teenager Wan Bisaka.
In midfield, Manchester United drained the combination of McTominay, Fellaini and Bruno Fernandez.
Then on the front line is the combination of Mbappé, Harland and Rashford.
Obviously, this is Manchester United’s rotation.
Wenger felt a little offended. In the face of Arsenal, who were all the main players, Ye Su actually used such a substitute lineup. This did not take Arsenal in his eyes!
However, this is also an opportunity for Arsenal. If even Manchester United’s bench can’t win, then he really doesn’t need to stay in the position of Arsenal’s head coach.
………………
Wenger got up from his seat, growled, cursing in his mouth.
He was very dissatisfied with the referee’s decision. Only five minutes into the game, Manchester United fouled twice.
This time, Fellaini made a very fierce tackle, knocking the goldfish eye with the ball to the ground. However, the referee on duty only verbally warned Fellaini, and did not play a card.
Ye Su’s established tactic is that Manchester United will focus on offense in this game. His offense does not mean weakening the defense.
And Manchester United’s offensive tactics are very hard and aggressive. There is only one purpose, to use offense to suppress Arsenal, and to fight offense to provide protection for the line of defense.
Manchester United’s offense is already very threatening and very sharp.
In this game, Ye Su discharged McTominay and Fellaini’s double midfielder in the midfield, which ensured Manchester United’s defensive hardness in the midfield and the forward brutality, which made Arsenal a very headache. .
Wenger soon discovered that Arsenal’s established tactics for the opening attack faced Manchester United’s strong interception in the midfield, and it was basically difficult to organize an effective attack.
Manchester United’s midfield interception is very fierce, and it can even be said that it is a big move. Arsenal lack the necessary preparation for this.
All of a sudden, there were frequent scenes of people turning their backs on the court, and Arsenal, who was unprepared, was a little frantic.
Goldfisheye and Sanchez, and even Arsenal midfielders such as Xhaka and Ramsey, are completely caught in a hand-to-hand battle with Manchester United.
Manchester United’s tactics are very simple. The double defensive midfielder tore Arsenal’s midfielder to **** Bruno Fernandez, and the three young players from the striker are cruising in the frontcourt, ready to launch a crit at any time.
………………
Manchester United quickly caught Arsenal’s mistake in the chaos and launched a counterattack.
This is Ramsey’s fight against McTominay and he was forced to transfer the football to Xhaka. As soon as the Swiss midfielder was about to catch the ball, he was surrounded by Fellaini and Ashley Young. He chose to pass back to Mustafi, and then was intercepted by Harland midway through the football.
Manchester United quickly launched a counterattack. Harland went through Bruno Fernandez with a through ball. After Manchester United’s offensive brain dribbled the ball and attracted the defense of many Arsenal players, he suddenly divided the sides.
After Rashford took the ball, he took two steps laterally and made a powerful long shot directly outside the penalty area.
This ball has great shooting power and the ball is fast. Ospina did not dare to hold the ball and chose to play the football outwards.
Mbappe, who was in ambush in the penalty area, grabbed the football in front of the national team’s big brother. He first smashed to avoid Koscielny’s robbery, and then took the ball to the left.
The Manchester United right back Wan Bisaka shot a low shot and the football hit the net!
“Wan Bissaka! Wan Bissaka! Beautiful shot! Manchester United’s offense is very aggressive. Their right backs all rushed into the penalty area and scored before Chambers!”
When Wan Bi Saka kicked the football into the goal, the new Wembley Stadium burst into huge cheers. The cheers were shocking, and even outside the stadium, you could feel the huge sound, like a volcanic eruption.
“1:0! Manchester United are 1:0 ahead of Arsenal, they are the first!”
………………
Wenger was furious on the sidelines, he was very, very dissatisfied with the team’s defense this time, Wan Bissaka was completely missing.
“We pressed too much.” The assistant coach persuaded.
Wenger snorted and said nothing. He naturally knows the reason.
Arsenal’s tactic is to press out and attack, especially relying on the two wingers, especially the left side is the focus, which makes Bellerin frequently pressed out, this time it was Manchester United who beat Bellerin in the open space.
The subsequent game fell into a state of anxiety. Manchester United has strengthened the fight in the midfield. Fellaini even brought down Sanchez and Ramsey twice in five minutes.
The referee thought that Fellaini was not a foul when he knocked Sanchez down, and the second time he was found to be a foul, he verbally warned Fellaini.
Wenger was furious and asked the fourth official from the sidelines: “Is that guy a Manchester United fan?”
This is a very severe accusation. The fourth official kept his face straight and asked Wenger to calm down and speak, otherwise, he would put it on record. Such an accusation would cause an uproar.
“He’s confused, don’t mind.” The assistant coach dragged Wenger back.
“Who do you mean to be confused?” Wenger was trying to save face, returned to his seat, and spit at his old partner.
The latter took it silently. The old man always wanted to vent, he could only vent on him. Could Wenger really be the referee?
………………
Forty-one minutes into the game, the referee finally took out his card. This was a tactical foul that McTominay had overturned Aubameyang.
Ye Su saw it on the sidelines, called Fellaini’s name, and made a gesture. Manchester United’s violent interception immediately disappeared, and one by one became noticed. On the contrary, it was Arsenal, the anger provoked by Manchester United began to explode~www.mtlnovel.com~ In the remaining five or six minutes of the first half, Arsenal players fouled Manchester United one after another. After the referee’s tolerance arrived at MAX, he began a manic playing mode.
In just a few minutes, Arsenal’s side, Xhaka and Ramsey continued to play cards.
Ye Su smiled on the sidelines. Xhaka and Ramsey are Arsenal’s main defensive players. Both of them have yellow cards. This is bound to make Arsenal fearful when defending.
Wenger was clearly aware of this. The old French man had never seen anything in the world, and immediately realized that he had been fooled.
“Is there any information about the referee?” Wenger asked in a deep voice.
“Yes, I put it in your room,” the assistant coach said.
Wenger frowned. He remembered that he was busy at the time. He only read the first few lines, and briefly said that the referee’s whistleblowing was relatively loose. He didn’t care and didn’t continue to watch.
It now appears that there must be something he hadn’t noticed in that report.
