Chapter 399 Rooney's Curtain Call

Ye Tian returned to Manchester United after playing as a free agent in the national team. Mourinho once talked to him about the position of a free agent.

On defense, the libero will generally be in front of the goalkeeper, and on offense, according to Mourinho's three-level offensive organization, the libero will participate in the whole process.

Ye Tian's various statistics are very outstanding, which can be said to be tailor-made for free agents. Unfortunately, he has not practiced free agent tactics once in Manchester United.

Currently on the field, Manchester United players are only playing with their respective abilities and tacit understanding.

According to the free man's tactics, when the free man holds the ball in the backcourt, the two sides in the frontcourt will run wildly, because the free man is likely to make a direct long pass, and Ye Tian's vision and long pass accuracy are very suitable for this play.

It's a pity that Rooney is more defensive, and Lingard's running position has always been his weakness.

Therefore, the first level of organization was abolished.

Ye Tian, ​​a free man, must be raised.

Normally, when a free agent is promoted, he will have a numerical advantage in the midfield. Unfortunately, Manchester United was sent off, and Mourinho's replacements are more inclined to attack forwards, so this numerical advantage does not does not exist.

Therefore, Ye Tian was running non-stop, using the tacit understanding between himself and Mata, Herrera, and Lingard to keep interspersing, stretching space, and looking for opportunities to attack.

On Arsenal's side, the intention to stick to it is very obvious!

There are only a few minutes left, and they won't let the victory slip away!
Like Manchester United, Arsenal's soldiers also have the determination to win and the reasons to fight for it, and they are already desperate at this moment.

Leaving one Sanchez around the center circle, trying to use his speed to make United's shots, everyone else, even Giroud, went back to the defense to guard against United's high balls.

Under such circumstances, the Arsenal penalty area is overcrowded.

8 Arsenal players wearing red and white jerseys lined up in two rows in the penalty area. Mertesacker stood in the middle, Giroud obeyed the goalkeeper's command to move, and other players stood in two rows, firmly controlling Arsenal's penalty area. hold on.

Faced with this kind of defense, generally speaking, there are several ways, one is a header, but at present Manchester United's field height is insufficient, and the other is a long shot.

However, it is best to have plenty of time for long-range shots, because in many cases, the possession of the ball will be exchanged, and Manchester United hopes that the rest of the time is their own attack time, so they do not easily take long-range shots.

Another one is breakthrough.

On this point, Manchester United has Ye Tian.

He has just demonstrated his extremely strong ability to surpass people, performing various operations in high-speed movements, very much like that Brazilian elf.

Therefore, the gunmen concentrated their attention and tried their best to defend Ye Tian's breakthrough.

Under Ye Tian's command, the Manchester United players kept kicking sideways outside the opponent's penalty area, and everyone was looking for the opponent's flaws.

As long as anyone is not following so closely when running and reveals a slight flaw, they will seize this opportunity.

Time ticked by as the Red Devils passed the ball without stopping.

The female fans observed the situation on the field through the gap between their fingers covering their eyes.Their fragile hearts could not bear such violent ups and downs.

The male fans continued to roar, yelling "Attack!!" and "Defense!!"

For the two coaches on the sidelines, Mourinho asked the whole team to press up, pointing to the players on the field and loudly reminding them of their positions, while Wenger folded his hands on his chest, with a stern expression, frowning brows and bloodshot eyes, betraying relieved his nervousness.

Suddenly, after Herrera passed the ball to Ye Tian, ​​Ye Tian didn't cross the ball again!From the right, he faced the double defense of Chamberlain and Xhaka, ready to break through!

There was commotion in the restricted area.

Rooney has gone from right to left, with Rashford in the middle and Lingard behind him at the top of the arc.

Xhaka and Chamberlain faced Ye Tian head-on and formed a wall. Instead of stealing the ball, they blocked Ye Tian's advance and kept Ye Tian outside the penalty area.

Ye Tianyi tiptoed with the ball to meet the two of them, but when they got close, he suddenly dunked the ball, and then passed the ball back to Herrera who was protecting behind him.

Then, Ye Tian pressed his body to the bottom line, as if he wanted Herrera to hit the wall over the top and bottom.

Chamberlain who was on the sidewalk immediately turned sideways, ready to follow Ye Tian backwards.

But Ye Tian just pressed it, and immediately backed away.

The wall formed by Chamberlain and Xhaka was not unified because Chamberlain's center of gravity was backward, and the wall was dismantled.

Herrera made a short pass again, and Ye Tian got the ball again!
This time, he seemed to be breaking through between the two of them.

How can Xhaka let him do what he wants?

As a result, Xhaka's center of gravity was also mobilized.

Ye Tian flicked the ball slightly to the left, and used Zhaka, whose center of gravity was shaken, to block Chamberlain again. The defense of the two was broken by Ye Tian from Zhaka's side.

There are no fancy tricks, just two fake moves and two passes.

This extraordinary one shocked the Arsenal fans, not to mention the Arsenal players on the field.

Monreal and Mertesacker surrounded him, and Ospina directed Giroud to take Mertesacker's position and stand behind Ramsey.

With this move, a hole appeared in Arsenal's defense.

Mertesacker was defending Rashford, and when Giroud and Mertesacker were handing over, Rashford left the depths of the penalty area backwards, while Lingard penetrated downwards, and the two staggered. , Giroud can only stare at Lingard, Rashford is briefly open, and Ramsey is not in place.

There is a flaw!

Ye Tian rubbed the ball immediately!
Lingard desperately resisted Giroud and prevented him from rushing forward.

Rashford took the first step to get in position, got stuck, Ramsey was a bit slower and lost the most favorable position.

Everything seems to be moving in a direction that is beneficial to Manchester United!
if only……

Rashford was able to receive Ye Tian's pass at the penalty spot and hit the goal!

Fans' hearts hang with the ball flying through the air!
That sounds like a lot to say, but in reality, the ball is in the air for less than a second...

football is...

Over Rashford!

The fans' eyes widened!
Ye Tian, ​​who is the least likely to lose the chain, actually made a pass error! ! !

but……

Immediately afterwards, they only hated their eyes for not being able to stare even wider!

Because in the latter point, there is their captain!Rooney!
That Rooney who keeps running and sweating for Manchester United!The Manchester United captain who might still smell a little drunk off the pitch, but did his best on the pitch!The legend who played for Manchester United for 13 years and scored 253 goals!

Rooney's defensive player is Koscielny who replaced Holding.

186CM的32岁法国后卫本赛季为枪手出战43场，2球1助攻，场均2.1次抢断和1.7次拦截，生涯数据正在下滑。

Generally speaking, after the age of 30, it is inevitable for the guard position to decline in data, because compared with the impactful young people in their 20s, they must be weaker in terms of physical fitness and physical fitness.

Of course, defenders like Stam, Nesta, Materazzi, etc. are another way of saying it.

But Koscielny certainly cannot be compared with these historic defenders.

Players like him have already clearly positioned themselves, and they will work harder to seize the fewer and fewer opportunities to play and contribute to the team.

In particular, Koscielny is now coming off the bench, and without any physical conditions, his defense against Rooney is in place.

Rooney is only 176cm, 10cm behind him, so Koscielny has more defensive coverage, especially in the face of high balls.

Lu Xiaopang's ability...

If he hadn't suffered an injury in the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals against Bayern on April 2010, 4, and was carried off after 9 minutes, the little tank might have achieved even higher achievements.

After all, Rooney's offensive efficiency did drop after that injury.

But this does not mean that Rooney is abolished!
Especially in a game like today, the last game he played for Manchester United, in the last 2 minutes, he is willing to give everything for this attack!
Koscielny felt Rooney's huge explosive power, he felt his feet seemed to be off the ground, and he couldn't control his center of gravity!

Danger! !
Fans see...

Rooney and Koscielny take a step back together, then Rooney spins out from under his opponent and jumps!
The ball was topped by Rooney!

but……

Under the influence of Koscielny, Rooney failed to score!
What's more, the ball was pushed a little too far this time when he jumped up!
Rooney landed, Koscielny has adjusted back, his position is between Rooney and the ball!
The mouths of Manchester United fans are wide open. Based on experience, they know that this offense is over!

But they still hold on to a glimmer of hope.

Because, their legend, that Lu Xiaopang, has not given up yet!

Rooney stretched out his right foot, behind Koscielny, and kicked the ball again.

The ball was kicked back, from Koscielny's head!

And the opponent is still turning around!
So, when Koscielny turned away, he missed the ball and goalkeeper Ospina was yelling at him!

Breaking out in a cold sweat, he quickly turned around and faced Rooney!

All he could see now was Rooney's sinking back, though!

And, the falling ball...

And, Wayne Rooney is raising his right foot!
Upside down golden hook! ! !

Rooney jumped up to stop the ball, stopped too big, then stretched out his feet to hook the ball back, bypassed the opponent's head, turned around to lean on the opponent, and then leaned back and swung his legs!
A series of shots, Rooney felt, was the smoothest and most comfortable shot he had ever shot in his life!

When he hit the ball hard with his feet, when he saw the flight path of the ball, he cried out in his heart!
Have! ! ! !
……

Arsenal goalkeeper, Ospina, full attention!
Call Giroud to come forward to fill the position and remind Koscielny.

His eyes were constantly on the ball and the other United players.

Until Koscielny made a mistake, he knew that with Rooney's ability, there must be a shot!
It's a golden hook!

high speed!

But... I saw it!The ball is straight and I don't need to move side to side!
To avoid dropping your hand, hold the ball out of the baseline!
Ospina raised his hands upwards!

……
