Chapter 842
Gao Xiaodong scored a corner kick directly to the goal net, helping Manchester United break the deadlock.
This magical goal made all the fans excited. The miners from Chile were even more excited to rush out of the box, singing and dancing, almost snatching Gao Xiaodong's shot, and becoming a scene in the Old Trafford stands.
Manchester United's lead is unacceptable to Arsenal, and defeating Manchester United away is the only condition for Arsenal to maintain the suspense of the championship.
Arsenal played well. In order to score three-pointers away, Arsenal, which has always claimed to be artistic football, also adopted a rough foul tactic. During the opening period, both sides were basically evenly divided. Manchester United scored a goal with a corner kick. The Gunners were very dissatisfied and unwilling to accept it. After kicking off again, Arsenal strengthened the pressing in the midfield and tried to equalize the score as fast as possible.
After Manchester United led the score, their playing style changed. Giggs' position premise finally became a real winger. After Gao Xiaodong returned to the middle, he was slightly behind and tried his best to cover the defense in the middle and left. However, with Gao Xiaodong's speed, when attacking, he could completely reach Arsenal's penalty area before Scholes.
Although it is said that Arsenal's cooperation is like mercury, in fact, after 2006, Arsenal's short pass penetration ability has declined, which means that it can be called mercury compared to Premier League teams. Facing Manchester United, Chelsea's strong defense, it is difficult for Arsenal to play mercury-like cooperation.
Arsenal attacked for about ten minutes and finally found Manchester United's flaws when the offense and defense were transitioning. Central defender Koscheerney quickly made the ball, Russian Tsar Al Shavin quickly dribbled the ball along the sideline to counterattack, Manchester United's full-back Nani was left behind by Ar Shavin, and only Raphael defended in front.
Seeing Arshavin rushing over at high speed, the young Raphael was a little panicked. He adopted the most stable defensive method and retreated to wait for his teammates to help.
Al Shavin is not an ordinary player. His dribbling ability is very good, and his dribbling speed is not much different from empty running. Raphael retreated to the side of his penalty area, and his teammates did not follow.
Arshavin suddenly changed inward while dribbling at high speed.
Arshavin's shooting ability was excellent, and Raphael had to keep up.
Arshavin quickly dunked the ball back and prepared to make a cross from the bottom, but suddenly, Arshavin saw a teammate inserted into the penalty area. Arshavin made a clever cross and found his teammate who was in the front.
The one who sneaked forward was Arsenal genius Wilhel. He pulled the ball straight into the penalty area with his outside instep.
When Arshavin passed the ball, Vidic realized it and rushed over to block Wilhel's shooting line.
Wilhel's skills are very good. Faced with the blockade of Manchester United's iron guard, Wilhel pushed his feet and used the skill of fried croquette to drift past Vidic.
This extraordinary move is very exciting, and Vidic is still passing by, but after Wilshire passed Vidic, he is almost at the bottom line. His shooting angle is very small, and Van der Sar also blocked to the near corner. In this case, Wilshire can completely pass back in the triangle. Although it is possible to be intercepted by Vidic, as long as it passes over, his teammates can form a good shooting opportunity.
However, Willsheer did not pass. He forced his foot to shoot, and the ball was blocked by Van der Sar's hands and left the baseline.
Seeing Wilhel pass Vidic, Arsenal fans were overjoyed and stood up and felt that there was a chance. However, they did not expect Wilhel to force the shot without an angle and only won a corner kick. The fans were very disappointed.
Wenger also shook his head and sighed. Wilshire is a player he values very much, but compared with Wilshire's Gao Xiaodong of Manchester United, the gap in ball quota is very obvious. Gao Xiaodong can always make the right choice. Even if it is occasionally unreasonable, just like the corner kick just now, Gao Xiaodong still has the luck to score the ball, but Wilshire is always a little worse.
Arsenal served a corner kick, and Koscheerney and Squilani both came to Manchester United's penalty area to compete for the top, but Manchester United's air defense ability was very excellent, and the ball was easily pushed out of the penalty area by Ferdinand.
Although Manchester United slightly contracted its formation after scoring the goal, Manchester United will never be conservative in playing a team like Arsenal. When Arsenal made a corner kick, there were three players outside who grabbed the second landing point, Giggs, Scholes and Rooney.
The ball fell and was grabbed by the old demon Scholes. Seeing Scholes get the ball, Rooney immediately ran forward and played Arsenal's counterattack.
Arsenal knew Scholes' role in Manchester United. When Scholes grabbed the ball, Krish immediately rushed over to stop Scholes from passing forward.
Scholes did not get rid of it. When he turned from defense to offense, the opponent would definitely adopt foul tactics, and it would be difficult to get rid of the opponent.
Fortunately, there was Giggs, and Scholes passed the ball directly and passed it to Giggs. He believed that his old guy could handle the ball well.
After Scholes passed the ball, Krish did not let him go. He knocked Scholes down with his body and then rushed towards Giggs.
At this moment, Giggs had already seen the situation on the field and had enough time to deal with the ball. He stopped the ball and pushed the arch to Rooney, who was running, and ran forward quickly to meet Rooney.
After Rooney received the ball, he rushed forward desperately with his head down. Arsenal has a lot of space in the backcourt, and as long as he rushes behind the defender, he will have a chance to score a single shot.
However, Rooney's dribbling speed was not very fast. There was Sarnia around him constantly pushing him to the side. When he reached Arsenal's 30-meter area, Song and Krish had already chased him.
Rooney couldn't take it anymore, so he looked back and saw if any teammates came to pick him up.
What made Rooney happy was that Gao Xiaodong actually ran to the front of Giggs. Rooney believed in Gao Xiaodong's ability, so he immediately passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong and ran forward by himself, hoping that Gao Xiaodong would make a wall for him.
This is the most common pass-and-cut combination. Everyone thinks that Gao Xiaodong will give Rooney a kick-kicking cooperation. Song and Krish didn't even double-team Gao Xiaodong, but ran directly with Rooney, trying to stop Rooney from getting the ball.
However, Gao Xiaodong did not make a wall for Rooney. After the ball was passed, Gao Xiaodong moved the ball towards the bottom line and rushed to chase the ball.
Rooney didn't expect Gao Xiaodong to cooperate with him. However, seeing Gao Xiaodong waving the ball towards the bottom line, he certainly understood what he should do. Rooney also ran to the penalty area desperately. He believed that Gao Xiaodong would definitely catch up with the ball and was ready to receive Gao Xiaodong's cross pass.
Arsenal goalkeeper Szesni saw Gao Xiaodong kick the ball towards the bottom line and knew that it would be dangerous if Gao Xiaodong caught up. He immediately attacked horizontally and rushed towards the ball, wanting to destroy the ball before Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong exerted his speed to the extreme and finally grabbed the ball before goalkeeper Szesny. At this moment, the ball was almost at the bottom line. Gao Xiaodong had no choice. He passed the ball across and passed it from goalkeeper Szesny's feet into the penalty area, giving Rooney a chance to hit the empty goal.
Rooney was one step faster than the two Arsenal defensive players, and he ran two tight steps and pulled the ball towards the goal with one kick.
The ball was only three meters away from the goal, which was definitely a must-scoring goal. However, what was surprising was that Rooney actually kicked the ball on the crossbar and bounced out.
Seeing the ball popping out, Rooney squatted in front of the door with his head in his arms, and was stunned.
The audience suddenly became an uproar.
"Hold the grass! This can also kick it away!"
"God! Kicking away is definitely harder than kicking in!"
"This is definitely a world-class rescue!"
"Lu Undercover!"
"Lu defender!"
"Oh my God! What other ball can I get in!"
"This is not eaten until you feed it!"
...
Manchester United fans were almost madly angry by Rooney, which was a good opportunity to lock in the victory.
