The poorest Premier League star, the whole network begs for money

Chapter 124

Although there was a mistake at the beginning of the game, Manchester United's defense did not panic. Under the yelling of the coach Solskjaer outside the field, they quickly started to defend according to the pre-match plan, and soon the entire defense quickly stabilized. down.

Maguire still has some ability as a central defender. He blocked Arsenal's cross twice in a row.

Zhan Jun watched the live broadcast and said with emotion: "It seems that Maguire was able to transfer from the Fox City to the Red Devils Manchester United at a high price. He is indeed capable. If his worth is lower, it may be more affordable."

Director Zhang chuckled: "For sure, because Maguire needs the help of his teammates in front of him. If he is alone to defend against a fast opponent, he will definitely make mistakes."

Zhan Jun said with a smile: "So, whether Maguire can be used well is a test of the mentality of the head coach. Of course, it also tests the mentality of the fans."

Director Zhang laughed and said instead: "But Arsenal shouldn't be too optimistic. If you want to win, you can't always wait for the opponent to make mistakes. I feel that Solskjaer must have seriously studied Arsenal's offense."
.
Soon, Manchester United was under pressure and could only drive the football forward to find striker Rashford.

Even if there is a great possibility of losing the ball, they dare not make mistakes in the backcourt.

Because once the transmission is wrong, Arsenal's striker will grab the ball and face the goal.

Without incident, Arsenal's backcourt grabbed Manchester United's long pass, and then they immediately launched an offensive.

Because Equation didn’t play, the attacking direction of this game is mainly on the right side. The first time everyone gets the ball, they will look at Saka on the right side and want him to tear the opponent’s defense.

Saka did create some threats in the first few minutes.

All attention is on him,
After a lot of game experience this season, Saka has shed some of his youthfulness, and his style of play has become smarter.

Now, many people in the outside world often compare Saka with Equation. Many people discuss that they are the most powerful young players in the Premier League, and who is most likely to become the leader of the new generation.

The local Premier League fans are actually more inclined to Saka.

After all, Saka is the youth training player who is rooted.

Although Fang Fang has been in the Arsenal youth training for several years, he is still an outsider after all.His identity is at most a sense of belonging more than a mercenary.

This is an objective fact.Zhengmizi flag is also a place that pays attention to origin.

Because the bench is very close to the fans' stands, Fang Fang can occasionally vaguely hear some voices envious of Arsenal's youth training.
.
On the field, although Saka faced the opponent's targeted defense,
But he still spared no effort to come back and attack,
It seems that Saka was the first to enter the game state. His running range covered the right center and front field, much like an active little black bull.

The relationship between Arsenal and Manchester United is actually hostile. After all, the two teams used to compete for the top of the Premier League.

Since we have collided with an old opponent, we must go all out.

And Arsenal lacked the core of the midfield, and Saka rarely became the focus of the audience.

but,

Manchester United will certainly not let Saka continue to indulge like this in the Theater of Dreams,
Pogba suddenly withdrew, stretched his legs from behind, and put Saka down on the right corner of the penalty area.

Anyway, he knows very well that Fang is Arsenal's master of free kicks. Since Fang is sitting on the bench, he would rather foul in this position than let Saka in.

Sure enough, after lacking the free kick tactics of the equation, Arsenal did lack the opportunity to score directly from free kicks.

Xhaka, as the captain, came to take the free kick,
He kicked a curve ball. Although it flew over the wall, the height was not suppressed, and the football flew high above the crossbar.

but,

Xhaka kept in mind Pogba's foul on Saka just now.

Then when Manchester United snatched the ball, Pogba received a pass from his team-mate,

When he was about to push the ball forward,

Suddenly, Xhaka rushed up from the side and knocked Pogba to the ground.

At this moment, there was a huge booing in the stadium.

The Red Devils fans were all furious. No one could tolerate Xhaka making such a rude foul at their home court.

"Send him off, this is Old Trafford!"

"Dirty thing, is this your beautiful football?"

"Let me in, I'm going to beat him hard"

Then, facing the yellow card shown by the referee, Xhaka looked calm.

Anyway, his playing style is like this. He can't see his teammates suffering, and he can't accept that he is suffering.

Pogba lay on the ground for a while before rubbing his waist.Fortunately, the hairstyle was not messed up, otherwise he would definitely have a big fight with Xhaka.

However, the foul was just an episode.

The referee for this game was Anthony Taylor. His whistles several times effectively prevented the foul ideas of the two teams.

Anthony Taylor is considered a relatively neutral Premier League referee.

Although he is sometimes complained by fans as a blind monk, every strong team has suffered from him.Therefore, from a certain point of view, his whistleblowing scale is also considered fair.

Subsequently, Manchester United lost possession of the ball, and they once again contracted their defense, waiting for the next opportunity to counterattack.

After Arsenal's lack of a playmaker in the frontcourt, they still haven't adapted to it.

Because there is a formula on the field, he can kick a quality long shot, and the short pass is creative, and at the same time makes the opponent afraid of free kicks.

Although Ronaldo's ability to seize opportunities and shooting skills are top-notch, and his passing is also good, but so far, he still lacks a little ability to break through with the ball.

It is because of the lack of this breakthrough ability that Manchester United's defense is not in a very passive situation.

As a result, Arsenal's two sides of the road were quickly marked by the help defense,

Lacazette struggled a bit in the middle of the box, alone with Maguire and Lindelof staring at him.

He was already a little helpless.

And Maguire is actually not afraid of a fulcrum striker like Lacazette,
Maguire has height and can fight, but he is only afraid of the opponent's quickness.

As long as he has teammates in front of him to help defend, Maguire's defensive performance has always been very stable.

Saka once again dribbled the ball on the wing to break through, not believing that he could not create a chance,
However, Luke Shaw was still not half a step behind, chasing Saka very closely,

There was no other way, Saka could only kick the ball in the middle when the football was almost out of the baseline.

"Saka crossed and although Luke Shaw followed closely, the ball slipped past his feet. It was a rare attacking opportunity."

"Lacazette grabs points in the box!"

Zhan Jun immediately explained loudly.

However, goalkeeper De Gea was very focused, and when he saw the path of the ball, he immediately moved forward and attacked.

At the same time, Maguire stepped forward ahead of Lacazette and got stuck in the front position.

By the time Lacazette dragged Lindelof to grab the point, he was already too late.

The ball was passed, and the goalkeeper De Gea has already smashed it under him.

"Hey, Lacazette, he was held back by Lindelof. Saka's pass was indeed a bit threatening, but they lacked support in the penalty area and there was no way to threaten the goal." Zhan Jun analyzed carefully with.

On the sidelines of the court, head coach Wenger naturally also saw this, frowning slightly.

After the team got rid of the breakthrough in the frontcourt without the equation, it has never been able to create a truly threatening pass.

In addition, as soon as Martinelli and Saka get the ball, they will be defended by two people, or even double-teamed by three people.

This caused Arsenal to hardly threaten Manchester United's gate in the first half.

Manchester United's coach defense is really good.

"Do you want to change the equation?" Arteta walked out, covered his mouth with his hands, and asked Wenger.

Wenger thought for a while and said, "That's the only way, but wait a little longer."

After all, the first half is not over yet. If a substitution is made at this time, it will seriously damage the confidence and dignity of the young players.

Time slipped away imperceptibly.

Seeing the end of the first half, Lacazette and Xhaka made a mistake in colliding with the wall in the middle.
Pereira interrupted the football in the middle and was about to hit Arsenal's counterattack.

However, Martinelli also ran over immediately and decisively slid to grab the ball from the side.

Pereira was looking up at the frontcourt, thinking about a long pass to find striker Rashford, completely oblivious to Martinelli coming from the side.

Pereira's movement of the ball was slow, he was brought to the ground by the slider, and he hadn't figured out what happened.

The football rolled right in front of Ronaldo,

S Luo greeted him with a volley.

bang—

Lindelof blocked the door with his life.

There was an uproar.

"It's a pity that Ronaldo's shot was blocked. This is a rare opportunity to score!" Zhan Jun couldn't help but regret.

Director Zhang said unhurriedly: "We still have to change the formula. Don't look at Arsenal's attack around Manchester United. Up to now, there has always been thunder and rain. The key is that they have to be careful of being quickly counterattacked by Manchester United."

At this time, the head coach Wenger was a little anxious watching from the sidelines.

I thought this was a rare and good opportunity, why didn't I get in.

immediately,

Wenger anxiously gestured to the players on the field,

It seems to be saying that we need to speed up the interspersed running, and the full-backs should cover the side in time.

However, under the leadership of Suo Zige, Manchester United also plays defensive counterattacks. The striker has speed. The Manchester United team has become accustomed to this efficient style of play.

Solskjaer folded his arms, not in a hurry.It seems that the rhythm of the first half of the game was in Suozi's expectation.

With the last minute left,
Pereira rushed to pass the ball, and directly entangled with Ronaldo who received the ball.

Pereira's hand has a small covert movement, which makes Ronaldo feel uncomfortable,
Immediately afterwards, the ball at Ronaldo's feet was accidentally poked out by Pereira.

Pogba grabbed the ball, he is a World Cup champion midfielder, the pass is very accurate,
He kicked a long diagonal pass and found Rashford, who was quickly counterattacking on the left side of the front field.

While running, Master La stopped the falling long pass angrily, and then Master La took the lead and dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

Gabriel was half a body behind. He really wanted to foul, but it was too late.

Goalkeeper Leno immediately abandoned the goal and attacked, trying to block Master La's one-handed goal.

However, Master La was very calm, and immediately used his left foot to steadily push and shoot a far corner of the same style as Nunes towards the goal.

Then, football...slides through the door.

There was a burst of sighs in the audience.

"Doesn't this kick go in?"

"What kind of stinky feet are these! Go home and wash them, *%&"

"My God, this is the most promising one-handed goal in the game."

Seeing that the goal was missed, Master La put his head in his hands, and couldn't believe that he made a mistake in pushing the far corner.
The head coach Solskjaer only felt that his whole body was not good, so he closed his eyes in anger, and could only take a deep breath.

Fang Fang watched it on the bench for a while, not to mention, this kick is really charming.

Haaland next to him was puzzled and said in a low voice: "This can be shot or passed the goalkeeper. Why do you want to push a far corner?"

The equation is fun, who knows this kind of thing.

At the same time, the Premier League director gave Arsenal's bench a shot, indicating that Arsenal's offensive core has not yet played, and in the second half, the situation may change.

Director Zhang smiled when he saw this shot, and said, "Rashford didn't score this goal. It was a big mistake. In the second half, Equation will definitely come off the bench. At that time, Arsenal's offensive routines will increase. Manchester United Whether it can be held any longer is a big question.”

Zhan Jun also agreed: "Arsenal did not score in the first half because Lacazette lacked support and needed teammates to take away the defense around him, otherwise it would be useless even if he replaced Harland. By the way , Teacher Zhang thinks Du Wenliang can come off the bench in the second half?"

"It's very difficult. Solskjaer has never given him a chance to come off the bench, and it's even more impossible to let him play in this important game against Arsenal." Director Zhang replied without thinking.

At this moment, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

The head coaches of the two teams immediately turned and left the court, silently, and walked towards the locker room.

It can be seen that the head coaches of both sides are not satisfied with the score of 0:0.

Fang Fang stood up, but saw Du Wenliang on the opposite bench, and walked towards the latter.

"Are you confident that you will play as a substitute in the second half?" Fang Fang asked after approaching.

Du Wenliang said lightly: "I didn't think about it so much. Anyway, when I was training in the team, I kept learning and slowly improving."

Fang Fang agreed with this idea and said: "Yes, learn more, and what you learn is your own. In the end, if you don't have a chance to play in the game, we will think of other ways."

Du Wenliang hummed and joked, "Brother Fang, you go up in the second half, don't make our score too ugly."

Fang Fang waved his hand, rejecting the tainted milk, "No way, I'm still injured, it would be good if I'm still in good shape."

However, that being said, at the beginning of the second half.

The head coach Wenger made substitution adjustments, Equation was replaced, and Ronaldo was replaced.

Facing this talented midfielder, Fang gave him a friendly hug before running to the field.

Only 1 minute passed, and the equation was running vertically, and suddenly got a direct pass from Thomas,
McTominay hurriedly posted it, trying to interfere with the equation, but his foot slipped and he accidentally fell down!

There was a groan from the audience, how could this fall without contact?

Fang Fang was too late to be surprised, decisively flicked the ball, and dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

In this regard, Wan-Bissaka's eyelids twitched, and he quickly gave up the wing and went to the equation to defend.

But it's too late,

Lacazette leaned against the defender not far from the right diagonal,
So, Fang kicked to pass the ball and asked Lacazette to help him with the ball, so as to escape Wan-Bissaka's supplementary defense.

The next second, Lacazette tapped the football back and rolled it in front of the equation, right on the way.

The equation is already facing the goal,

Although Lindelof is still blocking the front, it is useless to him.

Facing the soccer ball, the equation kicks a kick,
With a bang, the football bounced off the ground and flew in a small arc, heading straight for the far corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper De Gea's vision was blocked, and by the time he reacted and made a save, it was too late.

The football crashes into the net in an instant!
