v7 Chapter 58: Angel of prosperity, De Gea in adversity
Wenger is indeed a little anxious. According to the previous script, it should be Arsenal who broke the goal first and can play a safe and steady ball at home, but now... Although this is not difficult Wenger, he has done this before the game. Plans for various situations. But this feeling is as annoying as the forcible change of the script.
But just half a minute after scoring, during the time when the Emirates Stadium suddenly fell silent, Wenger was disturbed by the situation on the court. As cheers broke out again in the stands, Wenger's state also returned.
He made an OK gesture on the field and the players received it on the field. This was Arsenal's signal. Wenger felt that the tactics could still be continued. He allowed the players to stabilize and continue to play at this pace.
Wenger firmly believes that Manchester United's wing is definitely not as unbreakable as the middle road, and the experience of Ozil and Rosicki needless to say, they know how to give the ball in which way.
Just right, Sanchez kicked the right side frequently to open the gap, after the goal was lost, Arsenal's offensive focus began to turn to the left, Rosicky consciously gave a long pass in the midfield, giving enough advance to inspire Walcott speed.
Wenger nodded when he saw such a choice, and that was his confidence. This set of midfielders requires talent and talent, experience and experience, and a big picture.
The wings were flying side by side, which was exactly what he was after, and the timing was right.
Rosicky's pass was just right, perfect match with Walcott, followed by the speed demon's specialty, in this regard Ashley Young is still a grade behind.
Sanchez is still relying on technology and rhythm, but he is superior, completely taking the talent flow route, that is, the simplest and most direct speed.
"Theo Walcott! Oh, God! Ashley Young's speed is not too slow, it is definitely first-class in the Premier League, but this step was opened by Walcotra at least two steps away, I God!"
Walcott does have an impressive speed talent, but it is this talent that makes his choice on the field very straightforward... straightforwardly speaking, it is too single, entered the penalty area, and faced Evans who came to the defense. He is still accelerating, confident in himself, and can definitely eat this big man raw. Walcott didn't see this kind of stupidity in his eyes, and his only role was to pass by one by one.
Geniuses are always arrogant in areas they are good at, but Evans quickly teaches Walcott a lesson — not fast enough, and his legs long.
Put a shovel on Walcott directly, shovel the ball out of the penalty area, and the person falls in the penalty area.
Walcott sat on the ground with his hands raised, and the fans of the home team began to exert collective pressure. They wanted a statement from the referee.
However, the referee Martin Atkinson held his hands flat for the first time. There was no indication that it was just a normal tackle.
Just looking at the referee’s gray hair, she knows that she is absolutely experienced and has a harsh look, and she sees everything clearly. Walcott is useless in acting or selling pity.
Arsenal's midfielder can only quickly return to defense. Smolin immediately received the ball in the penalty area and passed it to Fellaini who received it. Then it was pushed to Zhou Tiancheng and Zhou Tiancheng then passed to Mata.
With a few quick passes, Manchester United's counterattack formation has been fully unfolded. Mata glanced at the running position in the frontcourt and made the same choice as Zhou Tiancheng. The long pass accurately found the left Lu Di Maria.
Such a counterattack happened to be Di Maria's specialty. This time Mata did not release the advance, but passed to Di Maria's feet, but it didn't matter. After Di Maria got the ball, one-on-one Speeding up can still easily pass Arsenal right-back Bellerin.
Just like the scene where Walcott spiked Ashley Young just now, Di Maria immediately responded, and returned to the other side with his own way. Bellerin chose to fall down and put the shovel in the first time, but his direction All judgments were wrong. Di Maria chose to cut in the first step. This defensive way made him ugly, shoveled into the air, and fell on the court.
"Di Maria, the angel is flying again! The speedless turnout of Arsenal's back defense, which now makes mistakes, now he shoots!"
Carragher subconsciously raised the tone, but Di Maria did not complete the end as he wished, Di Maria's foot was directly blocked in front of the door by Szczesny.
"Well, Di Maria is a pity, if he can score twice in a short period of time, it is almost a disaster for Arsenal. Just a little bit, Szczesny played well."
"Generally fast players are not suitable to be the terminator in front of the goal."
Yang Cheng added a sentence next to him, Carragher smiled in a second, the microphone was removed, the headset was turned off, and quietly asked: "You want to say that the fast players only know silly punch, the brain lacks a root, right?"
Yang Cheng nodded gently: "That's what it means, isn't it?"
Carragher smiled more: "So you still want to say why Zhou's efficiency is so high, there is a reason, right, man?"
Yang Cheng didn't change his face, and spread his hands, still saying that, generously admitted: "Isn't it? We as the narrator, is it right to seek truth from facts?"
Carragha laughed and shook his head frequently: "No, of course not, I just think of the future style of Sky Sports' live broadcast..."
Zhou Tiancheng and Di Maria gave a high-five encouragement.
Missing a chance is not a big deal for Manchester United, who is the first player on the road, but it stimulates Arsenal.
They held their faith today and knocked **** both sides. Switching to Sanchez, the Chilean shot was blocked by closely guarded Rojo. Zhou Tiancheng wanted to control the ball on the periphery. He glanced at it. There was no threat around him, but he didn't expect that behind him, Wilshere, who had little defensive habit, suddenly kicked him fiercely, stabbing the ball from his legs to Ozil.
Zhou Tiancheng fell to the ground, this time Martin Atkinson also did not show anything.
"This...damn it! Foul!"
Yang Cheng was almost unconscious, but Atkinson's penalty standard today is very loose. Obviously, he will not intervene too much in the game.
This foot is not a big problem, but Zhou Tiancheng can't get up for a while, he knows that the shoe spikes are hanging on the thighs, enough pain.
Arsenal's attack suddenly changed the way. Zhou Tiancheng was not in the defensive position. Ozil took the ball calmly and turned around. In the face of Fellini's two consecutive changes of direction, the front broke through and sent a straight pass to the restricted area to find a big man. Giroud.
Arsenal played this tactic for the first time today, but they have this ability.
Giroud was not the most flexible big man, but Ozil fed him a comfortable pie. Although he was carried by Smalling, he had the ability to forcefully turn and use his body to separate the defensive players.
Ji Lu forced to turn around and formed a single-shot, the French calmly chose a kick.
Giroud pushed away at the dead end. He glanced at De Gea, confident in the position he pushed, but he did not expect De Gea to step forward sideways, his body against the ground, his long arms stretched out. In the past, the fingertip lightly touched the ball.
Just so lightly, in a few centimetres, the ball was out of the baseline.
"The king of the earth covers the ground tiger, see my great Giroux... How did he miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, De Gea made a contribution. Zhou Tiancheng is now in a good condition, fortunately, De Geya, the gate **** possesses.
Zhan Jun exclaimed, but this time about Jilu has changed smoothly.
After De Gea got up, he struggled to punch in the stands. At this time, he was very satisfied. The goalkeeper was to find the presence and the greatest value in this situation.
Zhou Tiancheng also got up slowly, touching the back side of his thigh, there was a faint pain, he moved slightly twice, but did not find anything major.
He smiled and beckoned. This action is the best news for Manchester United.
All players are concerned about Zhou Tiancheng.
"Chou did not have a big problem, he stood up again, and Manchester United found a stimulant."
Carragher just found out that he seemed to have lost his words. Manchester United have not reached the point where they need to be rescued. Now that Arsenal are in a little trouble, they need to be rescued.
Wenger's strategy is to add another fire to the offense, no substitutions, but more targeted.
Ramsay was more decisive and was shoveled so suddenly that it was not so easy to recover. Although Zhou Tiancheng is strong, but the first two games, Ramsey's experience is not profound, the most profound experience of Alexander Song has left the team.
The Welsh midfielder believes in his own judgment and is strong, but he is not a god.
Of course he is smarter and has been running with Zhou Tiancheng, but his attention is the situation around him. Approaching Zhou Tiancheng's pass from any direction, he concentrates all his explosive power like a cheetah and swipes his entire body sideways. Go out and shovel hard.
Ramsay is also deadly enough to fight hard, and it was endured to be stunned by Zhou Tiancheng's spikes several times.
Even Zhou Tian was stunned for a while. He did not intentionally several times, but he clearly knew that he had stepped on someone.
He wanted to care, but the conditions did not allow it. Ramsey has given the ball to Wilshere and Arsenal's counterattack is coming.
Wilshere pushed the ball with all his strength and made a long shot to the front of the penalty area.
This foot has both strength and speed, and went straight to the dead end of the goal. De Gea fluttered with all his strength. His fingertips touched a little, and the ball hit the post and rebounded back to the goal.
Alexis Sanchez followed very alertly, facing most of the empty doors, and gently pushed towards the opposite corner.
Zhou Tiancheng took a step slower and failed to block the opponent's long shot in time when Wilshere kicked up. Both he and De Gea have reached the limit.
The Emirates Stadium boiled instantly, and the DJ shouted Sanchez at the scene.
Zhou Tiancheng can only helplessly stare at the goal, he has no choice.
When the teammates retreated near the middle circle, Zhou Tiancheng had adjusted his mind, shook his head, and clapped to encourage everyone: "OK, OK, my fault, brothers, don't be discouraged! This is their old nest, It’s normal to score a goal, we can still get it back.”
Rooney patted Zhou Tiancheng's shoulder lightly behind him. Zhou Tiancheng turned his head, watching Rooney smile at him, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong, chubby, don't you agree?"
"You have said everything I have to say." Rooney pointed to his captain's armband. "Why don't I communicate with the old man, come and wear it later."
Zhou Tiancheng's face suddenly embarrassed: "Uh, chubby... I'm used to it, I'm so embarrassed."
Subconsciously, Zhou Tiancheng also regards himself as the captain, subconsciously performing his duties.
Rooney shook his head gently: "No need to apologize, I'm serious. In fact, do you have this captain's armband? Everyone will obey what you say."
Zhou Tiancheng smiled gently: "Okay chubby, no matter who wears this, the biggest responsibility is to let us win. Now is not the time to discuss this."
...
However, the effect of Zhou Tiancheng's morale boosting did not come out. Although everyone can't talk about the solemnity, but the trade-offs have grown, and Arsenal, who is now at home, is obviously stronger than them.
Zhou Tiancheng thought that at this time, Van Gaal's tactics would be a counterattack, but Van Gaal urgently called him to the sidelines, but the instruction given was to temporarily withdraw the protection line.
Zhou Tiancheng can’t believe it, did he hear it wrong: “Ah, sir, do you need me to withdraw?”
Van Gaal emphasized again: "You did not hear it wrong, Zhou, don't question it! They are different from ordinary opponents. I need you to withdraw temporarily, otherwise the sidewalks will be blown out of the restricted area and there will be trouble in the restricted area. Do you understand? Follow! "
Zhou Tiancheng can only obey.
Van Gaal is very afraid of Arsenal's counterattack on two sides~lightnovelpub.net~ and it turns out that it is not unreasonable.
Even if Zhou Tiancheng put more energy into the fight, but he can't cover the whole game every second after all, Arsenal's side attack can still easily penetrate both sides.
Zhan Jun sighed: "Zhou Tiancheng has never met a qualified full-back. This feels like Yao Ming was always unable to meet a qualified point guard to pass to him. When he was always powerless. "
However, it is not Zhou Tiancheng who is unable to help him. His physical fitness is always sufficient. For him, nothing can defeat his mentality.
What really failed was Manchester United's back defense. After Sanchez's internal cut, he kicked the shot. As usual, De Gea saved with one palm and fell to the door. It was another chaos. Walcott followed up with a supplementary shot, De Gea again subconsciously blocked with a leg, and then Giroud shot at the penalty spot. De Gea subconsciously lifted his body and blocked it with his chest. A blow.
"Oh god! De Gea!!!"
Fans watching the pp sports live broadcast even heard Zhan Jun patting the table: "De Gea, God is under the god! God! Seeing this state, Manchester United still have a chance, these three consecutive bash... Di Maria is The team opened the deadlock, and De Gea strongly refused to be reversed. If Arsenal can't score these three points at home, they blame them for having an omnipotent goalkeeper."
But now it is not enough.
You can watch the performance of "Angel" Di Maria in prosperity, and De Gea can open in adversity.
But one point is definitely not enough to meet Van Gaal, Zhou Tiancheng temporarily recovered, this is only an expedient measure in response to Arsenal's counterattack.
De Gea's plug-in is fierce, at most it can only save a draw for the team.
