Chapter 173 Arsenal's honor is above all else!
"Damn, why didn't you pass the ball in!"

Ronaldo is anxious, but it is useless. Facing the situation where Chen Mo is mopping up and Toure is defending behind him, the only thing he can do is to resist Toure with his back like Chen Mo did to Keen before. Squeeze out space and let the midfielder lob the ball in, but unfortunately, his muscles look beautiful, but he has no post-back ability.

On the other hand, although Manchester United's left center Van Nistelrooy promised Ferguson to help Ronaldo open up space, but in fact he did not do so at all.

"Give him a hand? To hell!"

Ruud van Nistelrooy kept moving his feet in the penalty area, looking at Ronaldo's back, with some disgust in his eyes. Last season, whenever Ronaldo got the ball, he dribbled on the side, making breakthroughs, and rarely passed the ball to Ruud van Nistelrooy. He has been dissatisfied with this for a long time, how can he be willing to help this Portuguese with a unique style of play now?

Arsenal's defense was already strong, but at this time, the double arrows of Manchester United's striker were at odds again. Gradually, Manchester United's offensive became more and more sluggish.Soon, the game progressed to the last 2 minutes of stoppage time in the first half. Ronaldo couldn't bear it anymore. He turned back and ran away from the front of the penalty area and retreated to the familiar right.

"Give me the ball!"

Seeing Ronaldo rushing forward, beckoning with his hands on his waist, Keane, who was holding the ball in the middle, did not hesitate. He resisted Essien with his left arm, and pushed the ball away with his right foot.At the same time, Rooney quickly bypassed Ronaldo and took away the defensive player from the bottom, creating a one-on-one opportunity for Ronaldo with Chen Mo at a 45-degree angle on the right side of the penalty area!
The ball rolled to his feet, just as Ronaldo turned around, Chen Mo was already in front of him!

"You can't get through!"

Chen Mo just lowered his center of gravity and fixed his eyes on the ball under Ronaldo's feet, but at this moment, Ronaldo suddenly lowered his shoulders to the right, and at the same time stretched out his right foot to make a gesture to dial the ball to the bottom!
The action is very realistic!

But. pedaling a bicycle in place, cheat ghosts!

Chen Mo, who has been one-on-one with Messi every day for the past four years, was not moved at all. He just watched Ronaldo dancing in front of his eyes seriously. Push left, cut inside with the ball!

Ronaldo's first step was very fast, almost reaching Chen Mo's right shoulder in an instant, but Chen Mo's reaction and turning speed were also very fast. The forefoot of his right foot was the axis and he turned around immediately, exerting force on his thigh Two strong kicks quickly blocked Ronaldo's inward cut route!
One side ran wildly and cut diagonally towards the top of the arc, while the other side was stuck in the inner path!
"Damn it, I can't get in!"

After just one physical collision, Ronaldo realized that there was a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and at this moment, out of the corner of his right eye, he suddenly saw a figure waving in the penalty area!

"Fanny?!"

In the blink of an eye, Ronaldo, who was rushing to the front of the penalty area, made a judgment. He ignored Van Nistelrooy, who had already formed a one-on-one in the penalty area and held his opponent with his back. Under Chen Mo's widening eyes, he suddenly stretched out His right foot licked Chen Mo's right calf, and in the next second, his whole body bounced up as if he had received an electric shock, with an extremely painful expression on his face, he hugged his legs and flew forward!

"Oh! Cristiano fell to the ground on the edge of the penalty area! Could this be a free kick?!!"

"This free kick is very important!"

"Fucking dive again?!"

Looking at Ronaldo rolling all over the ground with his legs in front of him, Chen Mo frowned and opened his hands immediately. At this moment, the referee's whistle sounded.

"It's a flop!"

"I can see clearly that we didn't touch him!"

"NONONO, this is definitely not a free kick!"

Vieira, Campbell and others immediately surrounded the referee, but the referee ignored them, but walked up to Chen Mo and reached into his pocket.

"No! Is Mr. Thompson going to show a yellow card?!"

The commentator was a little surprised. Wenger on the sidelines also stretched his neck, his eyes full of worry. Chen Mo is not only an offensive player, he is also very important on the defensive end. Getting a yellow card will be very troublesome!
And at this moment, the referee Thompson took out a yellow card but did not point to Chen Mo, but to Ronaldo who fell on the ground!
"Crooked Buddha?! What?! Mr. Thompson gave Cristiano a yellow card?! Did he think Cristiano was diving?! Here comes the slow motion replay, look here. Oh yes, it's a fake Fall, Chen Mo didn't stretch out his foot, it was Cristiano who took the initiative! Oh! Wait! The scene was chaotic! Manchester United players surrounded the referee!"

The commentator babbled, and when he heard that he had received a yellow card, Ronaldo was in a hurry, his waist was no longer sore, and his legs were no longer hurting. He immediately got up and rushed to the referee. At the same time, Keane rushed to the scene as soon as possible, separating Ronaldo While looking for referee theory.

Ferguson on the sidelines also rushed to protest to the fourth official. On the other side, Wenger watched all this with a smile. Everyone knew that after the referee made a penalty, he could not change his mind. Ferguson's protest was just to put pressure on it.

The fact is as Wenger thought, the referee did not change the penalty, when he stared at the Manchester United players for the third time, a farce came to an end, and Ronaldo got up from the ground and rushed to the referee in a short time The picture of just a few seconds was also photographed by countless news media.
.
"Boys, you played a very good first half, it was a great game!"

Half-time break, Arsenal dressing room.

Sitting in front of wardrobe No. 24, with red and white short sleeves draped over his shoulders, Chen Mo, who showed his muscular muscles, drank water and listened to Wenger's words. The Arsenal players sitting in a circle were very happy. Last season they played against Manchester United. Not as easy as this time.

"Your performance in the first half was awesome, especially that knee pass, Ang Glass Bobo, it's unbelievable!"

"Haha, it's mainly because Mr. Dennis passed the ball well, and Henry and the others created space for me. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to pass the ball alone under the strict defense of four people, and even holding the ball would be difficult." difficulty."

Jirou next to him looked at Chen Mo with some envy, Chen Mo shook his head with a smile, Henry on the side heard this, and put his neck on his neck with a smile: "Oh, don't be humble, that ball can be passed to Pires , it’s not just about having space, you have a lot of vision and the space you got from playing against Keane. Seriously, you are the best player I have ever seen under the age of 20.”

"Hahaha, indeed, wow, you don't know, I was going forward when he headed the ball with his knee, and I was stunned! And the best thing is that he actually saw Pires behind you! Oh! Horrible vision, listen little guy, as long as you keep playing like this, you will soon be a big star in the Premier League! There will be countless money and beautiful blondes waving at you, oh! Yes, Henry The last kick shot with an overhead hook is also very exciting! However, I guess at that time you felt that the header was not sure, so you had no choice but to choose the overhead kick, hahaha!"

"You guy."

Ashley Cole was joking aside, and at the end he didn't forget to tease Henry.

A group of people were chatting and laughing. Seeing that the players were almost relaxed, Wenger walked to the tactical board with his arms folded, and said with a smile: "I know you are all excited now, but you can't relax in the future. In the first half, our three The midfield formation left United at a loss, but after Wayne Rooney went to the right to join the organization and defense in the final stage, they clearly showed signs of recovery, especially the breakthrough of Cristiano. This time the referee saw through his diving. Not necessarily next time, so we can't push the defense too far back, it's very dangerous."

Speaking of this, Wenger looked at Bergkamp with complicated eyes: "Dennis, after the second half, I need you to retreat more to get the ball, create gaps for Xiao Mo, and at the same time work harder on the defensive end. Don't worry about stamina, I will replace you with Giroud at 65 minutes."

As soon as the words came out, the players all looked at Bergkamp, ​​their eyes flicked between him and Giroud.

The two goals in the first half were opportunities created by Bergkamp after he retreated to get the ball. It was very effective, but it also consumed a lot of energy. Bergkamp is 35 years old this year, and his physical decline is a problem that cannot be ignored. As for the decline in physical fitness, the most obvious aspect of performance is on the defensive end.

In the last stage of the first half, Manchester United's offensive was able to recover because of Rooney's retreat, but it was more because Bergkamp's physical fitness was not enough to support him to press at full speed, so Manchester United's backcourt players could pass the ball comfortably.

Generally speaking, in the game, one's own forwards harass the opponent's midfielder and back line, making it difficult for the opponent to control the ball comfortably, but Bergkamp consumes a lot of physical energy because of frequent retreats and advances, and there is no extra physical energy at all. Can be assigned to the defensive end.

If there is one less player to press, there is no way to press, so at the end of the first half, Chen Mo chose to compress the overall formation and use a formation similar to a bus to deal with Manchester United's attack.

It is undoubtedly a pity that the hero is late, but what everyone pays more attention to now is that Bergkamp has been the absolute core of Arsenal for the past nine years. As long as there is no injury, he can almost play every game. Do young people make way?

Everyone looked at Bergkamp, ​​and Giroud bent down nervously, with his elbows on his knees, lowered his head and bit his fingers.

Sensing everyone's gaze, Bergkamp, ​​who had been icy cold, raised a smile and looked at Wenger.

"No problem, boss, Arsenal's honor is above all else."
