Chapter 1245 Double kill
Gao Xiaodong's goal not only did not hit Arsenal's morale, but also greatly aroused the fighting spirit of the Arsenal people.
Before the game, Arsenal's goal was to defeat Manchester United and avenge the last time the defeat at Old Trafford was unacceptable.
Now it is possible that the old revenge has not been avenged and new hatred has been added. How can the Arsenal not be furious?
Wenger couldn't hold back any more. The professor stood on the sidelines and kept shouting at the players, asking them to push forward and seize the time to attack.
Arsenal has always been known as a Premier League artist. He plays well, but he always lacks Manchester United. Chelsea's blood and domineeringness, so there are few games to reverse.
Arsenal was really fighting today. The game was 80 minutes long, and all the players ran all over the game, pressing desperately.
Arsenal is full of fighting spirit and has home advantage, so Manchester United has to avoid its edge and temporarily retreat to defend.
Manchester United retreated, and Gao Xiaodong was still on the front line. At this time, Manchester United's defense line could no longer stand.
In the 82nd minute of the game, after Arsenal poured balls in the middle and the wing, Walcott suddenly passed the ball across the middle and looked for Rosici.
With Arsenal's continuous pull, both of Manchester United's midfielders lost their position. When Rosici got the ball, no one went up to block it, allowing Rosici to directly face Manchester United's central defender.
It is dangerous to have the centre-back directly face the opponent's offensive players at any time.
Worrying that Rosicky's shot directly from a long distance, Evans had to step up and intercept Rosicky.
With such a tall figure, it is very difficult to watch the short and flexible Rossicky.
Rosichi changed from left to right, and Evans couldn't keep up. Rosichi shook the shot angle and pulled his feet and shot 23 meters away from the goal.
Rosicky got rid of it very quickly, and when he shot, neither Anderson nor Carrick had time to interfere.
The ball was strong and went straight to the upper right corner.
The shooting angle was very tricky, but luckily goalkeeper Lindegard was very focused and he flew with one hand to hit the ball out of the baseline.
Although the ball was saved, Ferguson was angry when Rosici shot without defense. He roared at Anderson on the field and asked him to return to his defense area as soon as possible.
Arsenal next made a tactical corner kick, the full-back passed the ball across the middle, and Lamus made a long shot in the middle, and changed direction and dribbled past Anderson.
Anderson chased after him, Ramsey passed the ball to Arshavin on the side. Arshavin dribbled the ball across, and Carrick came up to defend. Arshavin hit the ball across, and Alexanderson followed and shot with a burst.
Alexander Song's shot was full of power, but he did not suppress it and the ball flew high into the stands.
Although this shot did not create much threat, giving the opponent such a shooting opportunity at the front of the penalty area is not a successful defense.
Ferguson was very dissatisfied with the two midfielders Carrick and Anderson on the court. He regretted it. Maybe he should try to replace the young player Pogba just now.
Anderson and Carrick are not reliable, so naturally they can't let young players like Pogba go up again.
Fortunately, Manchester United has Gao Xiaodong, an all-around fighter. There is not much time left. Manchester United leads and does not need to score any more goals. Ferguson once again withdraws Gao Xiaodong back to the midfielder position, and the formation becomes 433.
Ferguson's adjustment is very important. Gao Xiaodong returns to the back midfielder, and Manchester United has three back midfielders in front of the defense line. Whether it is to make up for the side or sweep the middle, Arsenal players will no longer easily shoot at the front of the penalty area.
In addition, Manchester United's counterattack power has not been weakened much. Nani and Valencia are on both sides, Lu Xiaopang in front, Gao Xiaodong and Anderson can be inserted at any time, and Arsenal dare not all of them in the middle.
When the game time reached 88 minutes, Arsenal was a little anxious, and all the players pushed up, putting Manchester United in the half-time siege.
Manchester United is not afraid of this rhythm. They calmly respond to the challenge and wait for a chance to counterattack.
In the 90th minute of the game, Rosici was tackled by Anderson after passing outside the penalty area. Rosici fell to the ground and poked the ball to Van Persie with her feet.
The referee saw Van Persie get the ball and signaled the game to continue.
Van Persie took advantage of the chaos and broke into the penalty area and shot, and the ball hit Smalling's leg and bounced out.
Gao Xiaodong grabbed the ball among the crowd, thrust the ball into the air, and then passed it to Arsenal's defender for a long foot.
Rooney was always paying attention to the defense of his teammates in the backcourt. Seeing Gao Xiaodong touching the ball, Rooney decisively turned sideways to prepare for a counterattack.
Rooney's prediction and trust in Gao Xiaodong gave him a chance. At the moment when Gao Xiaodong passed the ball, Rooney immediately turned around and ran behind the Arsenal defender.
When Arsenal's defender turned around, Rooney had already exceeded them and headed straight for the ball landing point.
The backcourt space is too large, and the Arsenal defender can no longer catch up with Rooney, who is getting faster and faster.
The only goalkeeper Szesny can compete with Rooney for the ball landing point.
When Rooney surpassed his teammate, Szesny knew that his teammate was powerless. He accelerated decisively and rushed towards the ball without hesitation.
Rooney was faster, Szesny was a little slower, but Szesny had a height advantage. The two of them grabbed this landing point at the same time, and in the end, Szesny took a little advantage and hit the ball first.
However, under Rooney's strong interference, Szesney was unable to top the ball forward and flew to the sidelines.
Originally, whether it was in the frontcourt or on the wing, it was a good goal to be able to clear the ball.
Unfortunately, Manchester United's full-back Valencia was in front of Rooney, and the ball fell on his forward line.
Valencia was overjoyed, and rushed up at high speed, stopped the ball with his chest, arched his feet and turned the ball towards the empty goal.
Valencia's shooting speed was not fast. Naith Zesni and Rooney collided and fell to the ground, and only the central defender Koscheerny chased after him.
Koscheerny was still a step slower. When the ball began to fall, Koscheerny arrived. He jumped high and wanted to push the ball out, but he was unable to touch the ball.
3:1
Valencia secured the victory for Manchester United.
After scoring the goal, Valencia ran to the Arsenal stands frantically and shouted at Arsenal fans, waving his arms and shouting.
Arsenal fans were already full of anger. When they saw Valencia running over to provoke her, they stood up and cursed at Valencia, throwing the debris at Valencia like raindrops.
In a focus game, I was about to pass safely. Seeing Valencia provoking his opponent's fans, the referee was very annoyed and ran over and gave Valencia a yellow card.
After Valencia scored, there was no suspense in the game, but the Arsenal still did not give up. They attacked desperately and wanted to score another one.
