Grass roots glory

Chapter 948
However, the two sides can maintain a tie in the first half and return to the midfield locker room, and everything is possible in the second half.

Now Wenger is more confident than Van Gaal. Although Van Gaal must be dissatisfied with the scene, but in terms of the overall situation, Arsenal is the one that can't even afford a tie.

One goal is not enough, so Wenger has to continue to cheer the players on.

"Gentlemen, although we missed the opportunity, I must say that you have done a great job. That's right. It's the most simple and direct way to maximize our strengths. There is nothing we can't do, not every time. To win you have to have possession as high as Barcelona."

Indeed it is.In the first half, Arsenal's possession rate was only [-]%, but they shot twice more than Manchester United.

On the Manchester United side, Van Gaal was pacing back and forth in the locker room. He said what he had to say just now. Luke Shaw and Ashley Young lowered their heads as if they realized their shortcomings and were seriously reviewing them. However, Van Gaal I also know that they didn't make any mistakes, and they really did their best.

It's just that I ran into people like Di Maria.

But it was this that made him so angry.

It is unrealistic to want the team to be like Barcelona and really use tiki-taka to keep the opponent from touching the ball all over the court.

The atmosphere in the locker room was quite depressing. The players had their own ideas in their hearts, but Van Gaal didn't speak up. Now no one dared to jump out and be the one who spoke first, and didn't want to touch this bad head.

Zhou Tiancheng glanced around, and just met Rooney's eyes, Xiaopang's eyes also scanned the entire dressing room, pinched his nose, hesitant to speak.

Zhou Tiancheng felt amused, probably what he wanted to say was the same as himself, but he didn't dare to break the silence.

Originally, this was what the captain should say. Seeing Rooney's expression, Zhou Tiancheng simply called his teammates to come over and give them a high five.

When he was about to return to the field in the second half, he stood on the sidelines and quietly asked Rooney: "Little Fatty, I heard that Sir Alex Ferguson basically didn't talk in the dressing room before. How many players can maintain order?"

Rooney was stunned: "Who told you? Ryan?" Rooney first thought of Ryan Giggs.

"Don't worry about it, I just want to know if it's true?" Zhou Tiancheng had a questioning expression.

Rooney felt more and more strange: "Zhou, why are you so curious all of a sudden?"

Zhou Tiancheng lowered his head and smiled secretly: "Yes, I am very curious. If you are telling the truth, I am really curious how much weight you said at that time? I think you are just a soy sauce character, Dai Even the captain's armband didn't dare to raise his arms."

Rooney was a little annoyed: "Sir Ferguson never transmits any negative energy in the dressing room."

……

The execution of tactics by the players on the field is [-]% in place, so Van Gaal is still in a good mood today.

His idea was to maintain the current situation in the second half. As he expected, as soon as the second half started, Arsenal took advantage of the kick-off to control the ball, and the two wingers continued to stare at Manchester United's wing backs.

Manchester United's wing defense, especially Ashley Young who cameo on the right, is typical of strong offense and weak defense. Van Gaal can't do anything now. There is no authentic right back available in the team. The only genuine right back before the start of the season Rafael was injured, and Van Gaal kept Ashley Young in this position. This game was completely blown up.

It was smart for him to let Zhou Tiancheng's position drop back. Arsenal picked a pass from the right a few times, and Walcott easily penetrated Ashley Young's side. Position, I'm afraid Arsenal's chances in the second half are far more than the few times presented on the court.

Giroud missed several consecutive opportunities in front of the goal, of course he is not to blame, the more direct reason is that De Gea made several world-class saves.

Even a volley shot one meter in front of the goal, De Gea could block it with an instinctive and subconscious side attack.

Carragher could only smile and shake his head: "What is really incomprehensible is that the opportunity is in front of you, but when you meet a goalkeeper, Giroud's eyes have begun to be less firm. This is De Gea's greatest contribution. Hahaha, Arsene Wenger has to figure something out, otherwise ... Young, I have a feeling it's Arsenal who are in danger now."

Yang Cheng smiled, and nodded naturally: "It's like this, Jamie. You will be punished for wasting opportunities. Both sides have equal opportunities in the game, but Arsenal lost so much at once, I'm afraid even God I can't watch it anymore."

After six or 10 minutes of the game, after avoiding the home team's attack (climax) in the first 15 minutes of the second half, Van Gaal also had an idea and began to plan for the final time period.

There is no need for substitutions, Van Gaal just signaled to start pressing the midfielder and increase the intensity, which is the most practical and effective way for Manchester United.

As soon as Wilshere got the ball, Zhou Tiancheng immediately accelerated and approached him. Ramsey raised his hand and shouted: "Pass it to me, quick!"

But there was a moment of hesitation at Wilshere's feet, he was still a little confused in the face of Manchester United's sudden acceleration.

Still young after all.Although Wilshere is very talented and has been promoted all the way in the Arsenal echelon, but when he reached the first team, he did not show the strength he once received. field superstar.

At least in the environment of the Premier League, his physical confrontation ability is far worse than that of Zhou Tiancheng who has just arrived.

Just squeezed him with his body, Wilshere couldn't hold it at all, and Zhou Tiancheng intercepted the ball from behind, Ramsey's expression changed, and he immediately wanted to rush up to defend, but Zhou Tiancheng quickly pushed to the Matta, don't waste your time.

Zhou Tiancheng pushed forward at high speed while raising his hands on the field. When an opportunity appeared on the field, Manchester United's counterattack was never ambiguous. Zhou Tiancheng was the first person who dared to charge forward.

Mata tapped his heel lightly, just in time with Zhou Tiancheng, and the ingenious cooperation between the two pushed the offense to the front of the penalty area in an instant.

Pushing forward directly from the middle, it was somewhat beyond the opponent's expectations. Seeing Zhou Tiancheng and Mata playing two-for-one and receiving the ball again, Koscielny subconsciously approached Zhou Tiancheng.

But Zhou Tiancheng didn't make a move, his choice was not so formulaic.Seeing Koscielny make a move, Zhou Tiancheng continued to dribble the ball into the penalty area.

Next he faced the big Mertesacker, but at the same time Koscielny was still chasing after him, tugging at the hem of his shirt.

Zhou Tiancheng glanced at it. There was no suitable kicking space, and Di Maria ran too fast. He was already behind the opponent's entire defense line. The pass to him could only be offside.

Without a suitable choice, Zhou Tiancheng could only choose to move forward with the ball.

He wasn't afraid to play against two centre-backs at all. At this moment he showed the quality of a top striker, the heart of a good shooter-the goal is the only goal.

Even if he stumbled, he still carried the two top central defenders, squeezed into the penalty area from the two, and shoveled in front of Szczesny. It looked like he was pulled down by Mertesacker, but This kick pierced Szczesny's crotch, and the ball rolled straight into the empty goal.

This kick made Arsenal completely lose their temper. Only the Manchester United fans were left in the field cheering wildly, and the home team stands were quiet.

For the first time in Van Gaal's managerial career, he ran around the sidelines waving his arms in celebration of a goal.

It was the first time I saw Zhou Tiancheng score like this, but it is more valuable to score like this at this time.

"GOOOOOAL!!! WEEK! WEEK! WEEK!!! When he steps up, he can do it all! That's what Arsenal pay for squandering chances."

Compared with Carragher, Zhan Jun is waiting for this moment. He only said half of what he said in the first half, and now he can fulfill it.

"Zhou Tiancheng! It really is him! If you don't hit the world wave, you can still end the game. The striker's way of scoring, but what remains the same is that he has to be the one who seals the throat with a sword! The little angel in good times, De Gea in adversity, but the key Moment, it's him, it's him, it's him who sees it! Only Zhou Tiancheng can accomplish a one-hit kill in this way, only the other party dare not think about it, and he can't do it without him!"
