There is a dream called football

Chapter 491 Giggs Is the True Core
Li Qiao stretched out his foot to hook the ball back, and Rooney scored the ball. The scene was silent, but soon the scene became excited because of a gesture.

The referee indicated that the goal was invalid because Li Qiao pushed the ball before hooking it.

Li Qiao was explaining, "I didn't move my hands when I hooked the ball."

The referee made a gesture of pushing, and Li Qiao immediately felt like I was going to strangle him, but he was helpless. The referee made a judgment, so he could only endure it.

Gradually, Wenger discovered that the core of the opponent's offense was actually not Scholes, but Giggs.

This old ball skin is too strong, and he has a good grasp of the ball and the timing of the ball.

Giggs got the ball in the midfield, Flamini also saw it, this guy must be pressed down.

but……

Giggs did not contact Flamini at all, or did not give Flamini a chance to contact himself. When Flamini got a little closer, he immediately played the ball, and his teammates surrounded Giggs to meet him.

Giggs had a lot of shots, and he kicked Anderson next to him, who made a long pass to Rooney.

Arsenal's defense against Rooney is in place, and Toure basically suppresses this side, so it is impossible for Rooney to stop the ball, so he can only shoot directly.

Rooney took a kick with his left foot, which he was not good at, but the ball was not held down, and it flew directly.

Rooney gave his teammates a thumbs up, which meant that the pass was awesome.

Gradually, the Manchester United players found that there were basically no good opportunities to pass the ball to Rooney, because Arsenal's marking of Rooney was too tight, so more balls were sent to Li Qiao, and Li Qiao had already stretched to become a pure winger.

This made it easier to catch the ball, but it didn't meet Ferguson's requirements for him, and Li Qiao didn't know if he was right.

Of course, right or wrong on the football field, the most important thing is to see if you can score a goal. If you can score a goal, then it doesn't matter whether you are a winger or a striker.

The ball was given to Li Qiao's feet, and the opponent Chrissy lowered his center of gravity. He had to prevent Li Qiao from suddenly accelerating and breaking forward.

Li Qiao tried it, but found that he couldn't pass, so he stepped on the sole of his foot and stopped the ball.

Then Anderson came to meet him.

Anderson's running position is very particular. He ran forward after bypassing Li Qiao, which is what it means to let Li Qiao deliver the ball.

On the football field, running position is actually the language of wanting the ball, because no matter how high you raise your hand, if you don't move, then it is impossible for someone to pass the ball to you.

Chrissy also understood this language, so he took a step back, which was noticed by Li Qiao, so Li Qiao cut in decisively, and when Chrissy started again, Li Qiao was halfway stuck.

If the position on the court is blocked, then everything is passive, and it is impossible to have any advantage. If you put a shovel on the side and rear, you will at least get a yellow card.

Li Qiao continued to accelerate. At this time, the advantage was already on Li Qiao's side. Facing Gala, Li Qiao dribbled the ball, and then dodged a small angle.

The ball slid past Lehmann's legs.

The ball went in! ! !
2 to 1.
The Emirates Stadium was silent, and Li Qiao also raised his hands to express his apology. He would not celebrate, but would only express his apology to his old club.

Li Qiao's move also received applause from the Arsenal fans in response.

At the end of the first half, the score was 2-1. Arsenal played very well, but it has to be said that the quality of Manchester United's stars is better.

Sophisticated Giggs and Scholes, top-notch Anderson and Joe Lee, and tanky Rooney, Arsenal's stars are obviously inferior. Wenger himself knows that Arsenal relies on the overall football, not the flashes of one or two stars. After Henry left, Wenger knew that Arsenal needed to change.

At the end of the first half, Li Qiao applauded the fans on the field. He hoped that these lovely fans would forgive him for his goal. After all, he lived a happy life at Arsenal, and Wenger was like an elegant elder. Li Qiao felt that he could learn a lot from Wenger, especially football philosophy.

At this moment, Wenger patted Li Qiao, and Li Qiao patted Wenger, as if they were old friends.

After exchanging pleasantries with his former teammates, Li Qiao returned to the locker room, and the second half will still be tense.

*****
Wenger is discussing countermeasures with his assistant.

"I think Giggs must be defended specially for that point. He was Manchester United's main goal in the first half."

Wenger shook his head, "Manchester United has too many balls. It doesn't make sense to defend this one and miss that one. We have to take risks."

"adventure??"

"Speaking of which, our tactics must be a little more aggressive. We start to grab the ball in the midfield. Only when we have more possession of the ball at our feet can everything be in our hands."

"The physical energy consumption is too great, will it not last until the end of the game?"

Wenger nodded.

"That's why I say risky."

It is perfectly fine for a team to play high pressure at a certain moment, but it is very difficult to play high pressure at half time.

In addition, if you put in a lot of physical energy and fail to score, then this is actually a waste of time, and you may even be counterattacked by your opponent. This is the biggest charm of football. In the 2004 European Cup, the Greeks won the game in this way.

In the Manchester United dressing room, Ferguson smiled and said to Queiroz: "What do you think Arsenal will do in the second half?"

Queiroz didn't laugh, but was a little serious, "I don't know, but I think at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal can't just let it go. They will definitely take more risks in the second half."

Ferguson nodded, "In Arthur's mind, Arsenal is a team at the same level as Manchester United, so this is reasonable. We have been competing for so many years, whether it is the Premier League or the FA Cup."

"So do we need to change?"

"Do not."

Ferguson shook his head, "I think it's good now, let Cristiano warm up, this may be the only person I will change."

At this time Li Qiao came over, he said embarrassedly: "Boss, I didn't follow your tactics in the first half."

Ferguson laughed, "But you scored a goal, I have nothing to say."

"But I'm not on Rooney's side."

"Yes, if you don't score, then I will slap you, but if you score, then I have nothing to say."

"Remember, in football the coach can make mistakes, but the scoreboard can't."

Li Qiao chuckled, that's right, no matter what position you play, in the final analysis, you want to score points! !
