Chapter 223 Henry and Fanny

Although there is an underground heating system in the ice and snow, it will still have a certain impact on the trajectory of the football.

Therefore, the two teams chose to attack with a header.

Manchester United has always followed the tactics of flying on both wings, and this set of persistence has been so long that it can even be compared with Barcelona's 433 years of technical flow.

The tactics they are most familiar with are crossing at a 45-degree angle, or cutting inside from the wing.

Although the quality of the ground turf is worrying, the impact on Manchester United is relatively small.

Although Arsenal did not move towards Wenger's gorgeous offense under Shao Bo's coaching, they have already changed the rough style of play in the League One era.

Layers of ground advancement, or quick counterattacks, cannot leave the ground. For this heavy snow, they did temporarily change a lot of tactics.

For a while, it can only be at a disadvantage. Even if there is an occasional counterattack, it can only be fast in and fast out, so as not to be found by Manchester United.

But it won't work for a long time. Manchester United used corner kick tactics many times to try to score.

Once or twice, Arsenal were still able to defend, and the number of times, as long as they were a little negligent, they could easily lose the ball.

Andy Cole paired with Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ferguson still trusts this big black man.

Although the Black Wind and Shuangsha have disintegrated, Andy Cole can still get Manchester United to renew his contract, and his salary will increase a lot each time.

He is also 30 years old, and he is blooming his last glimmer here.

Probably his career at Manchester United has only been one or two years, and he still wants to work hard to win his second league championship at Manchester United.

Since Shao Bo coached Arsenal, Andy Cole has only won a few domestic cup championships in the 98-99 season with Manchester United in these years.

The league title, which occupies the majority, was snatched away by Arsenal for two years. I don't know what kind of thoughts he would have in his mind when he joined Arsenal in the late 80s and left when the Premier League had not yet been established.

But when he first joined Manchester United in 95, he must have thought that he could monopolize the entire Premier League here, right?
It's a pity that the Treble was the starting point for Manchester United to turn from prosperity to decline. Since then, although they have been competing with Arsenal for the league championship, they have always been a little short.

So much so that last season, Arsenal even almost won the championship undefeated, and this year's Arsenal is also maintaining an unbeaten momentum, and it is very likely that they will once again hit the undefeated achievement of winning the championship.

Although Andy Cole is often criticized by fans for wasting a lot of golden opportunities, but according to the data, he is the striker with the highest efficiency in scoring goals and turning opportunities into goals.

But why is there no top scorer?Shao Bo's explanation is that Andy Cole's running habits and his style of play make him not a pure shooter, and it is not his task to simply pursue goals.

Just like Heskey, his goals are always blacked out, but whether it is the national team or the club, his tactical support is always indispensable.

However, this season, after leaving the support of his old teammate York, Andy Cole's goals or assist efficiency have declined.

Is this acquisition the result of growing older?
Just like his old teammate York, although there is a football stadium named after him in his home country, after leaving Manchester United to join Blackburn, his competitive level has also declined sharply, and he is no longer as brave as before.

Yorke liked to be behind Andy Cole, to provide him with support, or to score goals from the back row.

And Ruud van Nistelrooy prefers to be in front of Andy Cole, which drastically reduces his chances of scoring. There is no way, who makes Sir Alex prefer this white Dutchman.

But Andy Cole was the first player to score in the game.

He also gave United the lead at Highbury, when Beckham's corner, Gary Neville's header ferried forward, and Andy Cole, who had thrown away Grosso, volleyed in from five yards from the goal.

Not long after, he almost helped the team expand the score. Keane made a direct pass from the frontcourt, and Andy Cole shot from twelve yards on the right side of the penalty area and missed the near corner.

Although he helped the team take the lead, wasting such a golden opportunity will definitely become a black spot for the fans after the game!
After that, Keane's long-range shot was blocked.Arsenal winger Ljungberg's long-range shot also missed the door of Manchester United.

After that, Ljungberg took the ball again, but he stopped the ball slightly on the edge of the penalty area and was cleared by Scholes in time.

In such weather, mobile warfare is really not a good choice.

The game is more towards the rhythm of using set kicks and corner kicks to try to score.

Pires' free kick from the left was barely hit by Barthez, and then they tried this attack many times.

However, the goal that allowed Arsenal to equalize was not scored in this way of attack, but a regular sports game.

Arsenal equalized in the No. 30 minute, Vieira intercepted Scholes in the midfield, Pires made a cross from the left side of the penalty area, Henry shot from the edge of the penalty area and hit Gary Neville, deflected slightly and went into the lower right corner.

Barthez was full of confidence and wanted to grab the ball, but unfortunately he encountered a pig teammate.

Gary Neville didn't want to be an undercover agent at all, he ran over specially to kick the ball away.

Unexpectedly, under the influence of fate, Gary Neville, who was supposed to prevent Henry from scoring a goal, became the culprit who helped him score a goal.

Now Henry's league goals are the same as Van Nistelrooy's, and he has more assists. Strictly speaking, Henry has surpassed Van Nistelrooy.

However, only one-third of the game had passed, and Van Nistelrooy was not without a chance to score.

It's hard to say who will be the winner in this game.

"1:1! Beautiful goal, um, that shot just now was not judged as an own goal. Therefore, the goal scored by Henry is valid! Now, the two are tied for the top scorer list, who will score faster How about the next goal?"

The game continued, but then neither side got any better chances to score.As the clock ticked, the first half of the game was quickly over.

"Friends in the audience, the first half of the game is coming to an end here. Don't go away. After a short break, we will continue to explain this pinnacle battle."

In the second half of the game, Manchester United still took the road to win from a corner kick. With the experience of scoring goals, they believe that the next goal will come soon.

Ruud van Nistelrooy, however, was a little unhappy.

Originally, in addition to the struggle between Arsenal and Manchester United, this game also brought him a direct dialogue with Henry.

Now that Henry has scored a goal in this game, if Ruud van Nistelrooy fails to score in this game, wouldn't people be ridiculed and say that he is not as good as Henry?

How can this work!

It was agreed before the game that we should help him score goals in this game.

But now that the tactics are suddenly changed to corner kicks, the opportunities in the penalty area will be fleeting, and it is impossible for someone to keep them for him.

Although Ruud van Nistelrooy also knew that all these were temporary tactics changed by Ferguson in order to win this game, and they were not deliberately aimed at him.

On the contrary, Ferguson encouraged him and supported him all the time.

However, the current tactics are obviously not good for Van Nistelrooy. Even if Manchester United wins in this way, Van Nistelrooy may not be able to score goals.

damn it!
Another opportunity for Manchester United to use a corner kick to attack, it can't be wasted!
Ruud van Nistelrooy saw his teammate Beckham preparing for a free throw, and then waved to him himself, asking for this opportunity to attack.

boom!
Who is not a fool, can't see the meaning of Van Nistelrooy's gesture?

Ruud van Nistelrooy was double-teamed by two Arsenal defenders, so he had no chance to take off.

However, the ball was indeed missed by Beckham, and a strange arc directly hit the ball on the goal frame, and then was punched out by goalkeeper David Seaman under the gaze of everyone!
Fight back!

The Arsenal players who ran quickly were like sharp arrows off the string, running towards the gate of Manchester United.

This kind of offensive method of resisting high-pressure defense and quick counterattack has been used many times.

Taking advantage of the fact that most of the Manchester United players stay in Arsenal's half, if they don't attack at this time, when will they wait?
The ball fell outside the penalty area after being smashed by David Seaman. At this time, it would be fine if Manchester United won the first spot.

Not only were they able to stop Arsenal's counterattack immediately, but they were also able to take advantage of this break in rhythm to score!
But in fact, the first point was grabbed by Vieira. With a vigorous shake of his head, the ball rushed to Gilberto Silva.

Unhooked by the United players, Gilberto Silva crossed the ball to Pires, who was running wild on the left wing.

The latter made a long pass, which landed right in front of Henry!

And in front of him, apart from Gary Neville, there is only goalkeeper Barthez left!
However, although it is very possible to get rid of the opponent and score a single-handed goal, Henry has played for so long, and even the current field is slippery, and the ball is not so easy to control.

In addition, in order to make up for the mistakes he made before, Gary Neville pressed every step of the way, intercepting from the front, and did not give a chance at all.

More importantly, his current position is too far away from the gate, and the chances of failing to kick the goal are too high.

But Gary Neville is also stepping back, trading space for time, waiting for his teammates to quickly return to defense.

Come to the restricted area, good opportunity!

Henry's eyes shrank, and he leaned over to the right, but Gary Neville just saw his teammates heading towards them, and in a few seconds he would be able to stop Henry's goal.

At this time, Henry's sudden force caught him off guard.

　This was originally the second update before zero o'clock, but after the graduation season class reunion, I fell down when I came back... Today's first update is still at noon, and then the second update is before zero o'clock.
