Chapter 927 Unexplainable Substitution

Arsenal has an absolute advantage in the field, but the Manchester United scored the first goal.

Seeing Rooney rushing towards the stands with his arms raised and shouting at the fans in the stands, the Arsenal could only shake his head and sigh, complaining about God's injustice.

Sky Sports commentator Andy Grey sighed: "Roonie is really destined to Arsenal. His first Premier League goal was Arsenal, which was the final goal. This time Arsenal clearly gained the upper hand, but Rooney's follow-up shot gave Manchester United a lead, but Rooney's goal has to thank Gao Xiaodong and Hernandez for his goal. Without Gao Xiaodong's beautiful over-top pass and Hernandez's clever forward shot, Rooney would not have had the chance to score this time."

Rooney did not forget Gao Xiaodong and Hernandez. After celebrating with the fans, he immediately turned around and hugged Gao Xiaodong and Hernandez who were running over.

Ferguson on the sidelines was very satisfied with the goal, but his expression was not as excited as the assistant coach and the substitutes. Manchester United was full of wounded soldiers, and Arsenal's attack power was very strong. A goal could not determine the final result, and it would be even more difficult in the future.

Arsenal head coach Wenger is very disappointed. Manchester United has injured so many people and has played 6 defenders. It is Manchester United who scored the first goal. It is really impossible to play in this game. Wenger thinks Ferguson's luck is really good. Whether in the league or the Champions League, he can always turn bad luck into good luck at critical moments. Madd, has this old guy saved the earth in his previous life?

The game continued, and the lagging Arsenal made a more fierce attack on Manchester United.

Although Manchester United played at home, the defeat in the last Double Red Club gave Ferguson a deep lesson. With the injury of ten generals, Ferguson was very pragmatic. Not only did he send 6 defenders, Gao Xiaodong was also given a heavy defensive task by him. In short, Arsenal can cross from the wing, but he will never give him the chance to break through in the middle of the penalty area.

Arsenal has many good offensive players, but there are too few players who can grab the points. Although Dutch shooter Van Persie is strong, there are two central defenders watching him. Gao Xiaodong also comes to assist in defense from time to time. Van Persie basically can't even touch the ball, let alone shoot.

Even so, after Manchester United scored, Arsenal still got two shots through their delicate cooperation, but Van Persie got rid of two central defenders in the middle and was blocked by Gao Xiaodong with his legs. Then, Nasri received Wilhel and broke into Manchester United's penalty area from the ribs. Smalin knocked Nasri down when he cleared the ball, and Nasri asked for a penalty kick, but the referee Foy ignored it.

Manchester United then launched a counterattack, but Rooney made a mistake in passing the ball under the pressing of two defenders, and the ball was intercepted by Arsenal.

One minute of stoppage time in the first half, neither Manchester United nor Arsenal were able to form a dangerous attack in this minute, and referee Foy blew the whistle to the end of the first half.

During the halftime break, Arsenal did not make substitutions, while Manchester United, who was ahead of the score, made substitution adjustments.

The defender O'Shea, who played in the midfield, ended up with the 18-year-old freshman midfielder Pogba came on the field.

Generally speaking, Ferguson, who won the game without any trouble, made substitution adjustments. Not to mention that fans can't understand, even Ferguson's old opponent Wenger didn't understand.

"What kind of tricks does this old guy do? He actually changed into a kid? He looked down on Arsenal and trained newcomers? No, there must be a conspiracy."

Wenger understands the characteristics of his compatriot Pogba, but does not think that Pogba's characteristics can play a great role in teams like Arsenal.

On-site commentator Andy Grey said: "From the first half, although Manchester United leads the score, the scene is very passive and it is difficult to play the ball. Perhaps Sir Joseph hopes to use Pogba's possession and breakthrough to help the team. However, Pogba can control the ball and break through the ball when facing low-level teams. Is it useful for a strong team like Arsenal? Perhaps Sir Joseph just wants to use Pogba's running ability to make up for Scholes' shortcomings. After all, O'Shea is older and running is not good. No matter what, Sir Joseph's adventurous spirit is very admirable. Ordinary coaches will definitely not move when leading, and will not replace a young man like Pogba."

After Pogba came on the court, Manchester United fans even paid more attention to him than Gao Xiaodong. Everyone wants to know what role this 18-year-old can play in this strong conversation.

Is it as amazing as Rooney back then, or is it making frequent mistakes and performing mediocre?

Arsenal got an excellent goal chance after the start of the second half.

After Arsenal reversed the ball over the midfield, he passed it continuously on the wing and the middle. When the ball was passed to Wilshire again, Arsenal central defender Koscheerney suddenly inserted from the back row into Manchester United's penalty area. Wilshire had a good overall view, and he immediately passed it straight to Koscheerney.

Manchester United's midfield defense is basically a carrot and a pit, and everyone has people to defend. The central defender Koscheerny inserted and no one was on the guard. It was too late to wait for Pogba to make up for this position. Koscheerny dribbled the ball into the penalty area and shot.

Koscheerney's forward shot was excellent, like an offensive midfielder, but the shot was revealed and the ball hit directly to goalkeeper Van der Sar.

The distance was too close, and Van der Sar had no time to react. The ball hit him and bounced into Koscheerney.

Koscheerney pushed the ball into the near corner again, but goalkeeper Van der Sar made a magical save, saving Koscheerney's must-scoring goal this time out of the baseline.

"God! It's so dangerous!"

Manchester United fans in the stands exclaimed, and Ferguson shouted at the stadium nervously...

Pogba was a little depressed and felt that Koscheerney's extremely threatening shot was caused by his own mistake.

Gao Xiaodong saw Pogba's concern and came over to comfort him and said, "It doesn't matter. The guard is inserted, and it's difficult for the old players to judge. Don't be afraid of mistakes. I'll show you, go and defend this corner kick well."

When Pogba heard Gao Xiaodong say this, he felt better and had some confidence. He quickly ran to the penalty area to defend the corner kick.

Pogba is 1.9 meters tall, and Ferguson sent him up to compete for the high point. After all, Gao Xiaodong, Scholes, Rooney and Hernandez are all very short. With Pogba, a big tall man, you can compete for the header forward and increase air defense capabilities backward.

Pogba is guarding Arsenal's main defender Koscheerney.

Koscheerney also wanted to bully Pogba's young and wanted to resist Pogba's header, but Pogba's strength was not at a loss. He stuck in the position and cleared the ball with a header.

After this clearance, Pogba became confident. Then he used his advantage of height and length, not only pushed Arsenal's high-altitude balls before the central defender, but also used his long legs to complete two steals.
