I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils - Chapter 391
In the end, at the end of the first half, Manchester United led Arsenal 1:0.
Ye Su’s tactical purpose was basically achieved. The team scored, Arsenal’s attack was contained and failed to score.
During the intermission, Ye Su first praised the players’ performance, and then he reminded the players with a serious expression to be careful of Arsenal’s counterattack in the second half.
“1:0 is not safe. We will continue to strengthen our offense in the second half. We have to hold at least two **** in our hands to be relatively safe.”
“Be careful of Arsenal’s counterattack. For Arsenal, as long as they score goals, we will be passive.”
After the start of the second half, Ye Su was surprised to find that the Arsenal team did not press out to attack, and were not in a hurry. Instead, they played a defensive counterattack in an orderly manner.
Ye Su thought about it for a while, and he understood what Wenger meant.
Obviously, after the tactics of the first half of the game were contained by Manchester United, Wenger decisively changed and gave up the offensive tactics of the first half. Their current goal is not to lose the ball anymore.
Only by gaining a firm foothold can they have the hope of a comeback.
After all, now they are only one goal behind Manchester United. Under the premise that they will not continue to lose the ball, they only need to score one goal to tie the score, drag the game into overtime, or even a penalty shoot-out.
But if you can’t stand firm and continue to lose the ball, then Arsenal will really have no chance.
………………
In fact, this is the case. Wenger pinned his hopes on the offense in the first half, hoping to score goals first.
However, realizing the unsatisfactory effect of this tactic, on the contrary, it exposed the loopholes in the team’s defense, and Wenger calmed down.
1:0, for Manchester United, it is not a very satisfactory result. He judges that Manchester United will continue to attack, so Arsenal will simply hit Manchester United’s counterattack.
If they succeed in a sneak attack and rewrite the score to 1:1, Arsenal’s chance will come.
Wenger sighed. In Wenger’s view, this change is at best a timely stop loss, which is helpless.
Although very upset, Wenger has to admit that now his Arsenal is not as good as Manchester United in terms of strength, and at most it is half a catastrophe with Manchester United’s bench.
Mainly on the offensive end, Arsenal’s offensive ability is not as good as Manchester United. Otherwise, even if it is not about defeating Manchester United, Arsenal must at least take the initiative to score goals instead of waiting for Manchester United to make a mistake.
………………
“Nice long pass!” the narrator shouted.
Wenger also briefly adjusted in the second half, arranging for the team to press out again to see the effect, but was immediately hit by Manchester United to counterattack.
Smalling directly launched a long pass to counterattack, and Bruno Fernandez still received the ball under Xhaka’s mark. He used his skills to firmly control the football at his feet, waiting for his teammates to come forward to respond.
Xhaka tried very hard to steal the ball behind his back, but his position was gone. Unless he committed a foul, he would definitely not be able to steal the ball. However, Xhaka already has a yellow card on him, and he dared not take a foul. Once the referee shows him the second yellow card, he will go to sleep.
Bruno Fernandez passed the football to Mbappé.
The French teenager started directly. He changed the direction and slowed down during the two consecutive dribbling, which made Chambers very embarrassed, and then flashed a gap and passed the football.
Harland pulled the ball with his left foot and tried to fool Koscielny. The Arsenal veteran was experienced and steadily slid the football out of the sideline with a tackle.
In the stands of the New Wembley Stadium, there was a scene of regretful head-holding. The ball went into the penalty area as long as Haaland dunked it, almost facing the goalkeeper.
“Koscielny has done a good job!” Lineker praised. “The old French central defender deserves to be the pinnacle of Arsenal’s defense. His experience played a role at the critical moment.”
“The veteran has a reason to be trusted.” Mortensen also agreed.
On the sidelines, Wenger was also taken aback. If Harland scored a goal, Manchester United would lead 2:0 and Arsenal would be very uncomfortable. Fortunately, Koscielny succeeded in defending in time.
After such an encounter, Wenger completely gave up the idea of pushing out the offense, instructing the team to honestly play defensive counterattacks, do a good job of defense first, and absolutely can’t lose the ball.
………………
Arsenal stopped attacking, but Manchester United took the initiative unceremoniously and launched an offensive towards Arsenal’s goal.
After receiving the ball, Harland couldn’t turn around and shoot under the close defense of Arsenal center-back Mustafi, and had to pass the ball back to Bruno Fernandez, who knocked it to Rashford.
The England international striker suddenly took a long shot.
This shot was so strong that Ospina saved the football to the bottom line.
Bruno Fernandez took the corner kick, and Maguire, who participated in the corner kick attack, shook his head to the goal. After the football was hit by Ospinato, it bounced back on the crossbar and Koscielny pushed the football out.
McTominay squeezed the goldfish eyes and gave the football to Fellaini. It was a burst shot from head to head.
“Block the bullet holes!”
Ramsey relentlessly blocked the shot with his body, the football was stuffed with Ramsey, and the Arsenal midfielder fell down.
“Someone is hurt!” the Arsenal shouted.
The Manchester United didn’t pay attention at all. Mbappe, who followed up, shot the ball and the football was slightly higher than the crossbar. After finishing the shot, Mbappe was viciously shoveled to the ground by Xhaka.
“Foul!” Ye Su roared from the sidelines.
Manchester United players also surrounded Xhaka, wanting to ask for an explanation.
The Arsenal were also very angry. They pointed to Ramsey who fell to the ground, saying that our people were all injured, and you still don’t stop, this deserves to be shoveled!
………………
The players on both sides were emotional and gathered together, pulling and pulling, and cursing.
The referee’s whistle sounded again and again, coming up to intervene in the conflict.
“Ooo! Manchester United shot continuously, Ramsey fell to the ground after being bored, Mbappe was almost shoveled, Manchester United and Arsenal clashed.” The commentator paused and looked at the time. “It’s only 50 minutes after the match, and the smell of gunpowder on both sides is up! It’s a fierce match!”
Referee Craig Pawson only verbally warned Xhaka, which caused strong dissatisfaction from Manchester United.
Ye Su shouted from the sidelines: “Is this Arsenal’s home stadium?! Arsenal’s home stadium is the same as Tottenham. Has it been replaced by the new Wembley Stadium?!”
The fourth official had to come over to warn the emotional Ye Su, “Mr. Ye Su, please pay attention to your words.”
“Am I wrong? Isn’t this Arsenal’s home court?” Ye Su asked back.
The fourth official said with a black face: “I’ll say it one last time, please calm down!”
“Very well, I’m very calm!” Ye Su chattered and walked back.
………………
Ramsey was just bored by the football at close range, a little dazed, after a short treatment, there was no problem, and he returned to the stadium.
Arsenal fans applauded this general they like.
Xhaka shoveled Mbappé and Manchester United got a good free kick opportunity.
“A wall of six people!” Ospina yelled nervously.
Mbappe was tackled by Xhaka just now, and was being treated off the court at this time. Bruno Fernandez came to take the free kick.
The referee’s whistle blew and Bruno Fernandez took a run and shot. The football left the ground, successfully bypassed the wall, and flew towards the goal in an arc.
Ospina made a correct judgment and pounced, the football hit the lower edge of the crossbar, where it fell, and was then cleared by Mustafi for the first time.
Manchester United players are raising their hands, shouting loudly, indicating that the goal has crossed the goal line and scored.
Arsenal players are also yelling and retorting: “You didn’t get in! You are blind!”
The referee listened to the lineman’s report from the headset, and then shook his hand to signal that the goal had not been scored and the game continued.
………………
There was an uproar on the Manchester United bench, and Ye Su broke out again. He questioned loudly: “Did the goal score? Didn’t make it? We both saw it!”
“Please calm down, Mr. Ye Su!” The fourth official was so tired that he couldn’t bear it anymore.
“How can I be calm? One of our goals was blown off.” Ye Su sneered, and then he shut up before the fourth official broke out and turned away.
He is not stupid, he can put pressure when he should, but he can’t provoke the referee completely.
Wenger was also roaring angrily. Only a few minutes after the second half of the game, Arsenal’s goal suffered a huge test. This made Wenger very angry, and he was a little panicked. The next game, if his defense is still such a bastard, it would be strange to be able to hold it.
Of course, Wenger will not change his tactics at this time~www.mtlnovel.com~ The defensive counterattack tactics are the established policy and the most appropriate, and will not change randomly. He was just reprimanding the defense, pushing his hands forward to signal his players to move the defense forward and not give Manchester United a shot too close to the penalty area.
Slow motion is replaying Bruno Fernandez’s direct free kick just now. The replay shows that Bruno Fernandez’s shot was thrown by goalkeeper Ospina and fell down, just on the goal line. Football still has a third of it. Outside of the line, the ball was indeed not scored.
The second half of the game just started, Manchester United shot again and again, there were conflicts on the court, and some people were injured on the sidelines to receive treatment.
The scene of the game was so intense that people couldn’t breathe, and it could be said that there was no urine point during the whole process.
“It’s wonderful! This is the peak showdown we hope to see!” Lineker shouted.
After a brief inspection by the team doctor, Mbappe confirmed that there was no problem and he could return to the court to play.
Ye Su was also relieved. Although Mbappe is only Manchester United’s forward rotation player for the time being, in the case of Manchester United’s multi-line battle, any player he can’t afford to lose, let alone a genius like Mbappe.
