Chapter 286 Adjustments before the second match against Chelsea
Chapter 285 Adjustments before the second match against Chelsea

After returning to the locker room, the Manchester United players celebrated the victory crazily. Although there was no beer bath and champagne like winning the championship, splashing water became the most exciting thing for them.

The Manchester United players walked out of the dressing room later than usual. Ferguson took Scholes and Ferdinand to the press conference. The best player of the game, Lin Yi, did not go. Ferguson wanted to make Lin Yi cold. Too much attention from the media is not a good thing. Ferguson can already guess some clues from the joint action of Sky TV and The Times.

The Manchester United players who boarded the bus were all too tired. Many of them fell asleep while listening to music in the car. Among the players who played the whole game tonight, the average running distance of all players except De Gea was 12800 meters. The most runner was Ji Dong at more than 15700 meters. Even Scholes, who ran for 70 minutes, was nearly 11000 meters.

The Chelsea players are not much better either. Mikel and Lampard both ran more than 14000 meters, and the other players ran very well.

The fight was too fierce.

There are still 3 days, still at Stamford Bridge, or Manchester United vs Chelsea, this time it is the fourth round of the League Cup.At the press conference, Ferguson and Benitez both said that they would play with a substitute lineup in 3 days, and the main players needed to rest.

In the next round of the league, Manchester United will usher in the challenge of their old enemy Arsenal at home, and Manchester United will strive to make history.Chelsea will go away to challenge Swansea, which has been in good shape recently.

As for the League Cup, it is enough to use the substitute lineup, not to mention how bad the giants' substitutes can be, they are all strong teams and excellent players.Besides, if you are eliminated from the League Cup, forget it. If the competition is too intensive, the player's injury risk will be greatly increased, and the gain outweighs the loss!
On the second day of the game, Ferguson did not arrange any training tasks. It was rare for Manchester United players to hang out in London. However, after yesterday's fierce game, Lin Yi's popularity has almost reached its peak. Even the proud British people are full of praise for Lin Yi, and some Chelsea and Tottenham fans even ask Lin Yi to sign.

In the evening, the Manchester United team headed to the Emirates Stadium after having a meal at a high-end restaurant in the UK. Tonight is a London derby between Arsenal and Queens Park Rangers in the 9th round of the Premier League.

Although it is a derby gimmick, because there are too many London derbys, the two teams are not at the same level, and the two sides have no old grudges, so the attention is not high.

The reason why Manchester United will come is because the next league game will be against Arsenal at home. As long as they can beat the opponent, it will be the opening winning streak.Another reason is that Manchester United is really free. Ferguson didn't want them to go out and fool around at night, so he simply took them all to the Emirates Stadium.

Manchester United's visit was received by Arsenal's official high-standard reception, and they did not make things difficult because Manchester United was the next target, let alone any hostile attitude.Although there is life and death on the field, and there is no conflict off the field, there is no hostility in this visit to Arsenal. On the contrary, they give Manchester United convenience everywhere. The Arsenal club has shown the true bearing of a wealthy family.

Arsenal's magnanimity does not mean that the fans will be like this. When Manchester United players appeared on the big screen, boos broke out at the scene. No one welcomed these Manchester United players who came to inquire about the enemy.They especially hated Van Persie, even though they were his fans before, but considering the current results, everyone blamed the Dutchman who escaped from Arsenal.

There is also an acquaintance of Manchester United players in this game. He was also a player in the Manchester United team last season, that is Park Ji-sung.The Korean performed well after moving to Queens Park Rangers this season. He won the hearts of the rangers with his continuous running and 8 rounds of 1 goal and 1 assist.Of course, the high sponsorship fees of companies such as Samsung and Hyundai are also a factor for Koreans to win the hearts of fans and executives.

Since the third round of the Premier League, Park Ji-sung has played in the Premier League as the captain of the team. He also became the first Asian to officially serve as the captain of the team in European football.

In addition to Park Ji-sung, Rangers coach Mark Hughes also has a strong trace of Manchester United. He used to be a player under Ferguson, but his coaching was not as brilliant as his player days.As a coach, he lost 5 away games to Arsenal.

However, Arsenal, who faced the deputy squad leader at home, did not show the strength in line with their reputation.

In the 8th minute, Santos made a pass from the left side of the penalty area and hit the central defender and deflected to the goal. Cesar rushed to block and swept his legs to make a clearance.Arsenal almost broke the goal in the 10th minute. Sagna made a cross from the right. The unguarded Ramsey headed 10 yards in front of the goal and popped out from the top of the crossbar.

In the 24th minute, former Chelsea defender Bosingwa passed the ball and Wright-Phillips missed a long shot.In the 30th minute, Santos passed the ball, Giroud shot from a small angle and was saved by Cesar.Tarabut knocked down Wilshere in the rush, and referee Anthony Taylor refused to make a penalty, which caused dissatisfaction among Arsenal fans.

In the 40th minute, Granero passed the ball, and Park Ji-sung's long-range shot, which was extremely active in this field, was blocked by Wilshere, which caused rounds of applause from the Manchester United players.

At the end of the first half, the two sides battled to 0:0.For this result, the Manchester United players felt a little unbelievable. Where did the Ansenna who perfectly integrated artistic football and tactical football go, and where did the invincible team go.Fall too fast!
"Lin, what do you think is the problem with this Arsenal team?"

Matthaus was sitting next to Ji Dong, and he wanted to see if his views were the same as Ji Dong's.

"The midfield, the midfield has no characteristics. The attack power is not strong enough. They lack a passer like Cesc Fabregas. Their attack power cannot be played solely by forwards. The defense is also the same. They lack a ferocious aspirant like Vieira. Even a team like Rangers can calmly receive the ball in their midfield. This is the biggest problem for their defense."

After listening to Ji Dong's analysis, Matthaus nodded secretly. This is similar to his analysis. The characteristic of this Arsenal team is that it has no characteristics.

"Then where do you think the solution to the problem is?"

"I don't know, this is what Wenger considers. But if I were Wenger, I would change my style. He doesn't have suitable players, but he still clings to the concept of artistic football. From this point of view, our boss is surprisingly similar to the Portuguese Mourinho. They pursue victory first, and then consider other issues."

Unlike Lin Yi, Mateus prefers to look at problems from the perspective of a coach. For example, he feels that Wenger's persistence is not wrong. If the giants lose what he insisted on at the beginning, then he may lose more.For example, Barcelona suddenly played the bus tactics, then they are not Barcelona.

At the beginning of the second half, Granero trampled on Wilshere and then fouled Santos, but the former Real Madrid average narrowly escaped punishment.In the 56th minute, Granero tripped Wilshere in front of the penalty area and was eventually given a yellow card, but Cazorla's free kick shot through the wall and missed.

Gradually, relying on the advantage of the home court, Arsenal finally got the dominance of the game, but they gained momentum and failed to score, and Arsenal exposed their low offensive efficiency.

Until the 84th minute of the game, Arshavin, who came off the bench, broke into the left side of the penalty area and made a cross. Giroud's header from the edge of the penalty area was barely rescued by Cesar.

The score of 1:0 was maintained until the end. Mark Hughes failed to break the curse of Arsenal's total defeat in the away game in front of his mentor, and Park Ji-sung failed to prove that he was still the top Asian player.

Arsenal won, they were the winners, no matter what, the winners deserve respect, no question about that.

Everyone at Manchester United has gained a lot today. They can basically determine how to deal with Arsenal at Old Trafford. The offense is tougher, the defense is tougher, that's all.Of course, it is easy to say, but it is not so in practice.

On the second day, there were already 25 Manchester United players in the Charlton training base. Seven more players came from Manchester just now. Some of them were not selected for the squad a few days ago, and some were from the Manchester United second-tier team. Among them was Lin Yi’s younger brother Januzaj. Ferguson planned to use some of them in the League Cup match. Maybe they will be used when the competition is most intensive.

　The second update is sent today, if you vote for the gods, if you have extra one or two, you can give me one or two!please!
