"Perhaps it was Barcelona's attack at the Nou Camp that spurred Manchester United. In another semi-final the next day, the Red Devils used an almost more excessive offensive to completely suppress Arsenal, which is famous for its offense in the world. Inside the restricted area."

"God loves Almunia"-Arsenal can leave Old Trafford after losing only one goal, completely relying on the superb performance of the omnipotent Almunia, the magical Almunia almost Denying Manchester United nearly a dozen must-goals was a great moment, and for Almunia, he was almost god himself.

"Manchester United played the most beautiful, most aggressive, most perfect game of the season, but they only achieved the smallest victory, 1:0, until the end of the game, on the electronic screen, this number has not changed, Although Manchester United won at home, we can see endless disappointment in the eyes of the players and fans."

The media's comments are very pertinent. From the first half to the end of the game, Manchester United has always firmly controlled the game. They created as many as 29 shot opportunities and [-] shots on target. However, they only achieved a poor result. The reason for one of the goals was Arsenal's goalkeeper. He jumped high to resist, everywhere, and even in the final stage, the Manchester United players were desperate.

And the counterattack that Arsenal has always hoped to be able to play has never been successful. Manchester United's midfield has always maintained a compact formation, and has never been out of touch with the midfield. It has always been cautiously prepared. Manchester United's overall football and core tactics Got the perfect combination in this game.

Although he conceded a goal, this did not prevent Almunia from winning the best spot after the game, and many media gave him full marks.

Arsenal's players also paid a lot of price. They received five yellow cards alone. Captain Cesc Fabregas also admitted after the game, "This is not the game I imagined. The opponent gave us a suffocating game. From the beginning to the end, we are like insects in a spider's web, and we can't get rid of it no matter what. Fortunately, we still have a hard armor - Almunia. But, I swear, I can no longer accept such destruction, in Emirates Stadium, we will give the opponent a deep memory."

Back to the start of the second half, the Arsenal players don't know how long it has been since they played such an ugly game.

However, they still have hope, that is, the opponent is only one goal ahead, and they also believe that the opponent will not always be invincible like this, and they firmly believe that their counterattack is not weak, they only need one chance, as long as one Given the opportunity, they can completely reverse the situation on the field, which is the belief that Arsenal insists on.

Manchester United kept attacking and changing attack positions, while Arsenal tried their best to stop their opponents and tried to launch a counterattack, but they were stifled from the beginning.

Nicole was repeatedly fouled by his opponents. The opponents had already received three yellow cards on him, including Cesc Fabregas. The Spaniard is a model of civilized football. However, in a critical moment, He also used both hands and feet like a wrestler, throwing Nicole directly off the field. This non-football action caused the fans to boo.

Platini's complexion gradually turned ugly. He hoped for a well-balanced and beautiful game, so as to fully attract the attention of fans all over the world. However, from the first semi-final in Barcelona to today, two games Almost all ugly defenses, but there is also a new expectation in Platini's heart, that is, the two most aggressive teams will stage a matchup like sparks hitting the earth in the final of the Champions League.

The Manchester United fans kept shouting in the stands, the decibels were getting higher and higher, the team had an absolute advantage, but there was only one goal, which obviously couldn't satisfy the fans, they cheered for the team with their singing and applause Cheering, urging the players to work harder and score another goal.

On the contrary, the fans from London seemed a lot more silent. Most of them stared nervously at the players on the field, and many of them kept looking at their watches, as if time passed too slowly.

Arsenal's goal seems to be lost soon, and Manchester United's offense always gives people such a feeling that next time, it will definitely succeed.

No. At the 805th minute, Nickel relied on his own technical advantages to pass Fabregas and Song in a row and forcefully entered the penalty area.

After rushing into the penalty area, facing Toure's defense, Nicole made a gesture to the left to break through, and then swiped the ball to the right with his right foot. He took two steps, poked the ball forward, jumped up, avoided Sylvester's tackle, and faced Almunia directly.

Facing the attacking Almunia, Nickel pushed the ball to the far corner in reverse.

"Nikkor, consecutive breakthroughs, beautiful!"

"Shoot!"

"Rooney! Appears in the back dot—"

"The goal is scored! The goal is scored! This time Almunia finally failed to reproduce the magic, Manchester United 2..."

"The lines referee raised the flag. It seems that Rooney is in an offside position. The referee has awarded a free kick. The Manchester United players are still surrounded by the referee. Obviously, they cannot accept this result."

"Let's take a look. From multiple perspectives, Rooney's offside penalty is far-fetched. If Rooney is offside, he does have an arm in front of the opponent's last defender. However, the offside penalty is very reluctant."

The players of the Manchester United team were dispersed by Nicole, and then Nicole communicated with the referee alone. However, the referee obviously did not want to continue to entangle with the ball, and made a gesture to let Nicole leave. Fortunately, Nicole I was still calm in my heart, knowing that it would be useless to push on, and I was the only one who was unlucky, so I had to turn my head and leave.

This is the last chance for Manchester United before the end of the game. In the following time, Arsenal no longer considered any counterattack. Everyone retreated within 30 meters of their own half. Now, they just want to keep this result , the result of 0:1 is already the best.

In the post-match press conference, coach Wenger was obviously thankful that the team conceded only one goal. "Manchester United played very well. In the nine 10 minutes of the game, they played very strong. Now they have the opportunity. Fortunately, we only conceded one goal, and it is entirely possible for the opponent to score more goals. However, the goddess of luck is on our side, and now this score gives us a chance to advance, and hopefully we can make good use of it.”

Talking specifically about why they lost momentum in the game, when the scene was so ugly, Professor Wenger pointed out, "Manchester United played very fast today. We have not been able to adapt well and play our own rhythm. We have not created There are enough opportunities, the team lacks creativity, and the opponent's defense is very targeted, which completely restrained us. But now we need to think about the game next Tuesday. We still believe that we can complete the promotion task when we return to the home court. I'm sure next week you'll see a completely different Arsenal."

And one topic was mentioned many times at the press conference, that is, Wenger is full of confidence in the second round, "It will be a decisive battle full of suspense, don't worry, when you play at home, we will be rejuvenated , have the confidence to reach the final. This is an opportunity to show our determination and strong mentality. I am confident enough that you will see this. I invite you to come to the press conference after the game next Tuesday, and you will see what I said of."

However, although some reporters expressed their support for Wenger with applause, more people were full of doubts. Today's performance of Arsenal is really hard to believe that they will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Platini quickly left the stadium after the game, refused to be interviewed by reporters, and left in a hurry, but early the next morning, he published such a comment on UEFA's official website, "Sharp, wonderful, invincible The attack was so weak in front of the tough and divine Almunia. Utilitarian football became the main theme of the semi-finals of the Champions League."

The two captains of Arsenal and Manchester United expressed their determination for the second round in the simplest words, "The game is not over yet, we still have 90 minutes to solve the opponent."

As for Manchester United's head coach Mr. Ferguson, he didn't say much, "There is no need to be depressed. We have won at least one goal. As for the second round, we will continue to torture our opponents. I hope Almunia can continue to prove his strength today." It’s not abnormal to play.”
