Chapter 208 The frontcourt is picturesque and the backcourt De Gea

The second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2015-2016 season has come to an end. Except for the teams preparing for the UEFA Europa League group stage, other teams participating in the European war will return their attention to the domestic league on the weekend.

This league is also the last game before the international competition in October.

The focus of most attention in the 8th round of the Premier League is undoubtedly Arsenal's home game against Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium.

This is followed by the Merseyside derby, with Everton hosting Liverpool.

But in terms of popularity, it is naturally the Merseyside Derby.

If Ferguson has not retired, the focus of the Gunners vs. Red Devils battle will definitely be even more intense.

Of course, the direct confrontation between the two teams will always attract the attention of fans from all over the world.

Three days before the start of the game, Arsenal and Manchester United legends used the media and social media to fire at each other.

Martin's full attention is on the league game against Manchester United.

Although the competitiveness of this team has continued to decline following Ferguson's retirement, even Mourinho and the so-called DNA takeover have no way to push Manchester United back to the T0 position, but Manchester United has always been a team that has attracted much attention. .

The most profitable football club in the world!
In addition, Manchester United has too many fans around the world.

According to statistics given by a statistical agency, it is only behind Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The number of Arsenal fans around the world is indeed incomparable with Manchester United, but there is a saying that is very famous in world football.

[Football jokes are one stone, Arsenal takes eight fights]

It is not difficult to see from this that Arsenal still has a large fan base.

Kearney training base.

The entire Arsenal team trained in strict accordance with Wenger's high requirements and was meticulous.

The Manchester United players who were preparing for the game at the Carrington training base were extremely serious under the supervision of head coach Van Gaal, running at all costs, in order to get a chance to play against Arsenal.

Considering that the focus of Arsenal VS Manchester United is the last game on Sunday, Manchester United came to London from Manchester one day earlier.

Naturally, Arsenal fans would not let go of such an opportunity. They started off-the-box moves for their beloved team and harassed Manchester United to prepare for the game by various means.

On Saturday, the 2015th round of the Premier League in the 2016-8 season played seven league matches.

The first start is Manchester City's home game against Newcastle at the Etihad Stadium.

After 10 and 6 minutes of fierce fighting, they finally defeated Newcastle 1:2, leading the Premier League standings by [-] points.

Manchester City fans are in the same situation as Manchester United fans, but when Manchester United was a guest to challenge Arsenal, they acted as "die-hard supporters" of the arch-rival and cheered for Manchester United.

The purpose is to hope that the rival Manchester United can help Manchester City beat Arsenal.

In this way, Manchester City will continue to lead the league standings!
Later in a game at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea lost 1:3 to Southampton.

This is also Chelsea's fifth consecutive winless round since they defeated West Bromwich Albion as a guest in the third round!
2 draw and 3 losses!
结束8轮联赛,切尔西1胜3平4负,排名联赛第16位。

Martin, who paid attention to the media reports, couldn't help but sighed.

Chelsea, who did not intervene by themselves, is afraid that there is a high probability of continuing the original historical progress.

Of course, Martin has no extra thoughts to pay attention to the news outside the game, especially things that have nothing to do with the team he plays for.

The focus of Arsenal's home game against Manchester United will start at [-] pm on Sunday, and the whole team will check into the partner hotel directly after training on Saturday afternoon.

Eat and live together, and put all your attention on tomorrow afternoon's game.

The first kick-offs on Sunday are the Merseyside derby and Swansea v Tottenham.

Rodgers' team failed to win at Anfield and ended up with a 1-1 draw with Everton coached by Martinez.

Danny Ince and Lu Yuanwai each scored a goal.

……

With the end of the penultimate and third league games of the 2015th round of the Premier League in the 2016-8 season, the focus of Premier League fans all over the world is on the Emirates Stadium in London.

The game time of the Premier League takes special care of Asian fans. It is no exaggeration to say that this focus game, which kicked off at 11:[-] pm Long Guo time, has attracted great attention.

There are a large number of diehard Manchester United fans and Arsenal diehard fans in Longguo.

The game has not yet started, and the fans of the two teams are once again fighting on social media in a boring situation, sarcasm each other.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon local time in England, the buses of the two sides of the game arrived at the parking room leading to the locker room at the Emirates Stadium.

The home team was greeted by the bus with overwhelming shouts, while Manchester United's bus was greeted with harsh boos and overwhelming abuse.

The Manchester United players sitting on the bus are all determined in their hearts, they must beat Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, and let these so-called home fans know that some people cannot be easily provoked!
Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney looked through the glass window at the Martin poster held up by the Arsenal fans, his expression suddenly became more dignified.

The English football media is extremely well-developed. He didn't need coach Van Gaal to tell him before the game. He heard that the young player who set the Premier League transfer fee record was very enchanting.

Schweinsteiger, who joined Manchester United this summer, previously played for Bayern and has played against Wolfsburg many times with Martin.

Both the result and the process are terrible.

Martin's indestructible defensive ability and super assist ability were also mentioned before the game.

"Such an opponent is really difficult."

In this game, Rooney, who will be the attacking midfielder, will inevitably confront Martin, who will serve as the defensive midfielder. He has just arrived in his thirties and has lost the speed and explosive power of his youth. It will be very difficult to fight against...

About an hour before the game, the starting lists of both sides flowed out on the officially certified social media accounts of the Premier League.

The home team Arsenal is still a 4231 formation.

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech

Defenders: Monreal, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Bellerin
Back midfielder: Coquelin, Martin

Forwards: Sanchez, Cazorla, Ramsey
Forward: Theo Walcott

……

The formation given by Manchester United is also 4231.

Goalkeeper: De Gea
Defenders: Darmian, Blind, Smalling, Ashley Young
Defenders: Schweinsteiger, Carrick
Forwards: Depay, Rooney, Mata

Forward: Martial
……

Wenger got Manchester United's starting list, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing a faint smile.

Assistant coach Boulder frowned: "Isn't Van Gaal a bit too confident?"

"It's really too selfish."

Wenger nodded and said with a smile: "But this is also good, and then we can teach him a good lesson here, so that the people of Manchester United will improve their memory!"

The implication is that the away game also sent an organizational midfielder who emphasized ball possession, and Arsenal simply did not take it seriously.

Carrick and Schweinsteiger used in Van Gaal's 4231 formation are both strong offensively and weak defensively. It is clear that they want to play ball possession at the Emirates Stadium.

But now Arsenal are not afraid of the opponent's possession of the ball at all. What they are afraid of is Leicester City's tactic of holding high and playing high.

Passing through the midfield smoothly, and then penetrating from the middle to pass the ball to the striker will be very difficult.

Because Martin has a very strong one-on-one defensive ability, organizational defensive ability and command defensive ability.

This Manchester United team has a very strong ability to control football, and its ability to switch from offense to defense is destined to be relatively poor.

Especially Blind, who plays the left central defender as a cameo!

Wenger decided to set this point as the key attack direction!

In the visiting team's dressing room, Van Gaal also got Arsenal's starting list.

It is almost the same as the starting lineup he thought before the game, so there are not many tactical supplements to be done.

I am full of confidence in the upcoming match at the top of the league table!

Imperial Capital, Central 5 live broadcast room.

Sitting in the studio, He Wei, the first brother of the football commentator, saw the starting lineups of the two teams. He turned his head and asked Xu Yang, his partner in the game, and asked, "Did Manchester United use a more defensive midfielder at the Emirates Stadium?" Does Fellaini or Schneiderlin have any influence on the next game?"

"Van Gaal has always emphasized possession of the ball since he coached Manchester United. He performed well in the first seven rounds of the league. He scored 4 points with 1 wins, 2 draw and 13 losses. If he can beat Arsenal in the away game, he can enter the league with a goal difference advantage. At the top of the list, removing 'Little Pig' or Carrick will affect Manchester United's offensive operation. There is no doubt that this is a big gamble by Van Gaal!"

Guest commentator Xu Yang said in a deep voice: "Personally, I think...Arsenal is not afraid of the opponent's possession of the ball. If Manchester United cannot score goals in continuous possession of the ball, it is very likely that Arsenal will take the lead at home, and there is even a possibility. Harvest a hearty victory!"

Longguo Manchester United fans who watched the game live could not agree. They believed that Manchester United would definitely win in the away game, and Martin performed well.

The game is getting closer and closer, and the fans of both sides are facing each other online again.

Trying to gain confidence in winning by slandering, teasing, and abusing the opponent.

In this context, the final match of the eighth round of the Premier League in the 2015-2016 season kicked off at the Emirates Stadium.

"Longguo TV, Longguo TV, the game we are broadcasting for you now is the live broadcast of the 2015th round of the 2016-8 Premier League season between Arsenal and the Red Devils Manchester United. The man wearing a black jersey and black trousers is Manchester United. From the broadcast screen Attack from the right to the left..."

Central 5 commentator He Wei blurted out a standard opening remark.

"wuwuuwuwuwuwuuuuu——"

Accompanied by harsh boos, the Manchester United players who gained the kick-off advantage still started the game strictly according to the game tactics arranged by the head coach Van Gaal before the game.

Constantly passing back and forth, trying to use patient conduction to draw out the available gaps exposed by Arsenal's defense.

Rooney's age is increasing, his impact ability is declining, and his ability to organize offense and pass the ball is getting better and better.

But he found that Arsenal's defense was really good, and he didn't give them a chance at all.

After holding the ball for more than 3 minutes in a row, Manchester United's offense did not find a chance.

In the end, Memphis Depay, who received the football, was a little ignorant of the heights of the heavens and the earth. Seeing Martin go out to make up for the position, he decisively passed the ball to Rooney who was inserted in front of the top of the penalty area.

Unexpectedly, this vacancy was deliberately exposed by Arsenal's defensive system!

Mertesacker marked Martial, and Koscielny, who made room for space, moved forward by anticipating ahead of time, just in the path of Depay's pass to Rooney.

Koscielny intercepted the pass in one go and gave the ball to Martin who opened up the receiving space for the first time.

At the same time, Sanchez, Walcott, and Ramsey crossed positions.

Martin, who received the ball, made a long pass with his right foot about ten meters in front of the penalty area on the right side of his side, and passed the ball to the attacking right rib.

Walcott, who crossed positions with Ramsey, threw off the speedless Blind and Damian from the outside line at a speed visible to the naked eye, and swept across the center line.

"Walcott!"

"Single knife!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei's voice suddenly rose an octave.

'Little Tiger' Walcott fully showed his impressive speed. During the high-speed running, he sent a precise long pass from Martin to the direction of his body, and dribbled the ball towards De Gea with unabated speed. .

"aoaooaooaoaooo—"

There was a deafening loud shout over the Emirates Stadium.

De Gea, who has top-notch goal-line skills, did not attack. He stood in front of the goal and waited for the best opportunity.

There was a chance to move to Real Madrid this summer, but because of the fax machine incident, he failed to make the trip, and finally signed a sky-high contract with Manchester United.

The media has been criticizing, here, he wants to prove himself!
In the blink of an eye, Walcott, who dribbled the ball past the penalty area line at high speed, slowed down.

Facing the attacking De Gea, Walcott looked to the lower right corner of the goal and actually pushed a crotch with the arch of his foot.

Under normal circumstances, the goalkeeper can't react at all, but De Gea's iconic 'Gea' sitting on the lotus is just right, just blocking the ball.

Walcott reacted quickly and hit as soon as he followed.

Unexpectedly, De Gea's second reaction was very fast. He swooped forward like a hungry tiger, and his chest just blocked Walcott's follow-up shot.

Blind, who arrived late, was still in shock. Seeing the football hit on De Gea, he subconsciously swung his big foot to make a clearance, and kicked the ball towards the second-floor stands...
