Chapter 672: Correct Premier League order
At 16:10 GMT on November 10th, the 2013-2014 season in the 11th round of the English Premier League staged a spotlight battle. The league's second Red Devils Manchester United sat in Old Trafford and faced the top ranked gunner Arsenal.
This is a real top battle, and it is also rare in recent years when Arsenal are ranked higher than Manchester United.
As Ferguson's biggest opponent, Wenger's team has gradually declined in recent years. Although it can be in the top four of the Premier League for a long time, it does not really have the strength to compete for the championship.
However, at the final moment of the summer transfer, Arsenal poached Dutch midfielder Sneijder from Manchester United, which became the biggest reason for the recovery of Arsenal's performance this season.
On the contrary, Manchester United unexpectedly fell into the strange start of this season, ranking has been poor. It wasn't until the recent three-game winning streak that he slowly climbed to the second position in the league. Arsenal, the top of the list, had a three-point gap.
This is a very sensitive score, because Manchester United have an advantage over Arsenal. Once they beat Arsenal at Old Trafford, they will step down Arsenal and occupy the top spot.
This is naturally not what Arsenal hopes to see. They finally got the long-lost Premier League top position. Naturally, they hope to maintain this position until the end of the season.
After all, they have not won the Premier League title for 9 years!
If Arsenal can beat Manchester United at Old Trafford, it will not only end the team's embarrassing record against Manchester United at Dream Theater, but also expand their advantage in the standings to 6 points.
Therefore, this is a 6-point game, and it is also a game where neither side wants to lose nor lose!
………………
In this game, Manchester United lacked Raphael, who suffered from an ankle injury, and Welbeck, who had never recovered from his knee injury. However, Evans and Carrick came back from the back and leg injuries, and Evra became the next step. After Vieira, the third French player to play 250 games in the Premier League. Van Persie, who was absent from the heat transfer before the game, was put on the line to partner with Bell and Rooney on the front line.
As for the Arsenal team, Walcott, Sanogo, Chamberlain, Podolski and Diaby continue to play free cards. Mertesacker and Rosicky also missed due to illness. Fortunately, Flamini and Welsh The comeback, the former is among the starting lineup. Sneijder who joined Arsenal at the summer transfer window buzzer also started to face the old owner.
In this game, Wenger faced Ferguson for the 51st time as an Arsenal coach. The professor had previously won only 14 wins.
At the same time, this is the 218th match of the two clubs. Manchester United had a slight advantage with 93 wins, 47 draws and 77 losses. Among them, Arsenal played with Manchester United 8 times in the three seasons after Bell transferred to Manchester United. The result is only a pitiful 1 draw and 7 losses without a win, and the only draw was won in the 35th round of the Premier League last season when Manchester United had already won the league.
The 42 games in the Premier League are also the Red Devils' 20 wins, 12 draws and 10 losses. In fact, the Gunners only scored 17 wins in the previous 103 visits to Old Trafford, while the Premier League era challenged Manchester United with 3 wins, 5 draws and 11 Negative is completely at a disadvantage.
………………
As a top game, the attention of Manchester United fans on this game is unprecedented.
When Bell led Manchester United out of the player tunnel, he looked around, and the crowd at Old Trafford was full again.
The stadium electronic card shows the number of real-time spectators in the stadium: people.
In fact, if it is not for safety considerations, there must be a gap between the fans of the two teams, the old Trafford will definitely be full.
Manchester United under Ferguson, Old Trafford stadium has always been one of the highest in Europe and even the world.
Before the game started, Ferguson and Wenger shook hands and hugged each other when the two teams entered the field.
Watching these two coaches stand together, it is another big wave of memories for countless veteran Premier League fans.
These two people can be said to represent an era of the Premier League. Since joining Arsenal in October 1996, this has been the 17th consecutive season in which the two coaches who have both been in the top six have met in the league.
No matter what they will do in the future, the conversations between Arsenal and Manchester United, Wenger and Ferguson in those years are the immortal memories of countless Premier League fans, and that is also the beginning of the timeout for many fans to enter the pit.
………………
In this game, Manchester United's starting lineup is goalkeeper De Gea, four guards Smolin, Van Dyke, Phil Jones and Evra. In the midfield, Kanter, Carrick and Pogba are partners, and the striker is It is a BVR combination.
In the opening half of the first half, Manchester United firmly controlled the ball and kept looking for opportunities on both sides. The Arsenal are also actively rushing to compete with Manchester United in the midfield.
Ramsay took the ball and faced Manchester United midfielder Kanter for three months, confidently doing a Marseille maneuver.
This season, Ramsey's performance is very bright, continuous goals, and continuous assists, not only let him win the nickname of Arsenal fans, but also greatly improved his self-confidence.
Ramsay is confident to face any player on the planet, even the boss of the national team. When he is the first person in the world football, Mr. Bell, Golden Ball, let alone the dark man in front of him.
The result was a bit of a face slap, because the Ramsay passed and the ball stayed.
Kanter looked at the timing and poked gently to cut the football between Ramsey's legs. After pulling a cool turn, football has lost control.
"Pretty ball." Zhanjun shouted for Kanter's steal.
At this time, the retransmission lens gave Kanter a close-up. I saw Kante's face with a simple smile and white teeth.
Kanter didn't just focus on laughing, but passed the ball forward while smiling.
Bell came back to answer and successfully got Kanter's pass.
Arsenal's right-back Sagna clung tightly to Bell and prevented him from turning, but Bell's foot arch gently pushed the ball to Pogba's feet, and Pogba drew the ball forward.
After passing the football to Pogba, Berla started running along the side without the ball.
Evra behind him also followed, one behind the other, and forward at the same time.
The middle lane is prone to intensive defense, and the gap on the side lane will be larger. Although Arsenal's players are very wary of Bell, they can't hoard heavy soldiers to defend on the sidelines and leave the middle free.
………………
After pulling to the side, Bell quickly gained space. Pogba passed the ball and the football immediately returned to Bell's feet.
The two Arsenal players rushed towards Bell immediately.
Bell stepped on the ball and did not rush forward. He looked at the two Arsenal defenders and waited for them to run closer to him before Bell pulled the football behind him and passed it to Evra, not far behind, to speed himself forward.
Evra took a direct kick and passed the football along the sideline to the Arsenal defenders.
accelerate!
Bell's speed erupted, like a cheetah, and swooped out.
With the advantage of speed, Bell quickly caught up with football.
After winning the ball, Bell began to draw in, and Arsenal right-back Sania followed.
Facing this old acquaintance, Bell did not hesitate to step on the ball, pull the ball, turn around, the football seemed to stick to Bell's feet, as Bell rotated, slipped
Old Trafford's sack pump Hansen haha laughed: "Marseille maneuver! This is the correct way to use Marseille maneuver. Has Ramsay seen it? Did you learn it?"
Although Bell did not obtain the Marseille maneuvering skills of the ball holy system, but with his current technical level, it is not inferior to Zidane, the representative of this action.
And the tall man, making this action, looks particularly elegant and makes people shine.
At Old Trafford, there was thunderous applause, and this warm applause seemed to be there: "This is the correct Marseille roundabout!"
Ramsey looked at Chiao Bell, and his face was embarrassed.
………………
After passing Sania, Bell burst into the penalty area and drove the ball straight to the bottom line.
As the football approached the bottom line, Bell lifted his foot and returned, Arsenal center defender Koscielny immediately stepped forward to block.
When the French centre-back lifted his thigh, Bell forcibly canceled the pass. He made a sudden meal and changed the action of passing the ball into pushing the football forward along the baseline.
Immediately after, Bell ran out of the bottom line and accelerated around a circle.
Overtaking! Bell walked past Koscielny.
"Beautiful!" In the empty sports studio, Reinkel beat the table excitedly.
And not far from Reinkel, Kristy also clapped and cheered: "It's handsome!"
Between the sparkle and the stone fire, in a narrow space, Bell completed an extraordinary surprise.
After passing, Bell quickly caught up with the football, and caught Koscielny with his body, blocking him behind him.
The French central defender was very helpless. He lost his defensive position and could not interfere with Bell normally. And because it is in the penalty zone ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Koscielny, even if it is pushed and pulled by hand, does not dare to use too much force, so as to avoid defensive fouls and send a penalty.
After jamming Koscielny, Bell drew the ball horizontally
In the penalty area, after Bell passed Sagna, Van Persie, Rooney and Pogba spread out to form a multi-point response to open Arsenal's defensive position.
When Bell forcibly passed Koscielny, and then cut the ball in this way, Arsenal's defense line immediately became chaotic.
Bell Art is so powerful that he chooses to continue the ball, take one step, and shake off another center defender Wilmaren, who has entered the penalty area.
Without any hesitation, Bell activated the mortal blow of the ball holy system, while swinging his legs swiftly, facing the ball under his feet.
Boom!
The football immediately rose from the ground, turned into a white light, and hung upright at the corner of the goal near the goal post.
Big Saint Bell
