Chapter 304
Old Trafford, the Champions League semi-final, the first game, the two sides are old enemies Arsenal Vs Manchester United, Wenger first went out of the player tunnel, and saw Ferguson here,
Once, when Wenger was chatting, he asked Ferguson one thing, why he was able to train the crazy Red Devils at the end of the era?Especially that set can even be said to be a theoretically perfect golden midfielder?

Ferguson responded by shrugging his shoulders and curling his lips, "God knows!"

There is no doubt that Ferguson has always lived under the shadow of the Manchester United team in 99, whether in this life or in the past.

In Manchester United's four midfielders back then, Giggs had an outstanding ability to drive the ball, and his breakthrough on the left was extremely sharp; Beckham had the ability to transfer the ball from almost any distance, and his ball intelligence was actually very high.

Keane has excellent area coverage and protection, as well as good scheduling, organization and passing abilities, and his penetration attack is also very threatening; Scholes was still lacking in the last pass, but his penetration awareness was superb at the time, and his long-range shooting ability was also very scary.

These four players have cooperated with each other for many years, and they have a good understanding of each other. They have excellent ability to touch the ball with one foot. Moreover, they have many changes in back running and advancing routines, and their speed is fast.

To a certain extent, the Cosmos team Barcelona also emphasizes one touch and running without the ball, but from the perspective of midfield staffing, Barcelona at its peak is not as good as this Manchester United team in Yu Nian.

This kind of staffing requires Jia to find suitable players and needs ample time to polish.Now, it is undoubtedly very difficult. In Ferguson's words, it is barely acceptable for today's rich coach to have no championship for one year, and no championship for two years. Even Ferguson, who is known as the godfather of Manchester United, is facing the crisis of getting out of class.

In such an impatient environment, who can still have the leisure to slowly carve out a group of players?
It can be said that Wenger has personally experienced the peak period of Manchester United. He has seen the power of the golden midfielder and tried to crack it himself, so he knows better than anyone that these four people are indispensable.

As early as after Beckham left, Wenger said several times that Manchester United's midfielder lost one of the most important means of advancement. Now that even Keane is gone, Manchester United's midfielder has fallen from the top in Europe to the current incomplete lineup in just two years.

Alan, Smith and Park Ji-sung can be compared with Keane and Beckham?
According to Wenger's analysis of Manchester United tactics.Without Beckham, Manchester United's biggest problem is attacking; but without Keane, Manchester United's problem has shifted to defense.

The difference between having Keane and not having Keane is that when Keane is there.His strong area coverage can ensure that Manchester United's back line dares to push forward even when defending" to ensure the pressure of the midfield, but without Keane, Manchester United cannot show such courage even in attack.

Another point is endurance. Keane is responsible for scheduling, organizing and sorting out the midfield.” With him in charge, Manchester United’s midfield can operate more effectively and the combat effectiveness will be more durable. Without Keane. Manchester United is a bit like the Bayern Munich team without Effenberg a few years ago, and it was even worse. Why?
Manchester United is playing 442. The most important thing in the parallel midfield is the two players in the middle. Without Keane and Scholes, it is difficult for people to support the backbone of Manchester United. This is why so many people think that Manchester United should introduce a Keane-style midfielder.

And after losing Keane, he couldn't find a suitable successor temporarily.When Alan, Smith and Park Ji-sung are all difficult to take on the big role, Ferguson has only one way, and that is to take the way of the striker retreating to the midfield.

As a result, both Rooney and Forlan had to take on the task of taking the ball deep and deep. The Urado forward complained about this, because his number of goals dropped a lot compared to before, and he was even sold directly by Ferguson in the end.

Wenger's tactical system has been deeply influenced by Manchester United, especially the Manchester United team in 1999, so of course he knows it very well.And Ji Dong knows how to restrain the current Manchester United team.

Lineup:

曼联是：1-范德萨/3-埃夫拉、15-维迪奇、5-费迪南德、22-奥谢/8-安德森、16-卡里克、24-弗莱彻/32-特维斯、10-鲁尼、7-C罗

And Arsenal is still 442:

：1-阿穆尼亚/3-萨尼亚、5-科洛图雷、18-西尔维斯特、40-吉布斯/8纳斯里17-宋、2-迪亚比、14-沃尔科特、4-法布雷加斯、11-贝尔9-李宇信

?In the starting lineup, neither side has the slightest surprise. Only Arsenal's midfield arrangement is slightly different from the past. For example, Wenger asked Diaby and Song to cut Manchester United's midfield more, especially to suppress the center. Arsenal's right winger Walcott wants to suppress Manchester United's left winger Sylvester, forcing Giggs to come back to help defend.

Although Wenger made careful preparations before the game, it was still a hundred secrets. Manchester United launched a round of onslaught after the opening, and it quickly received results.

"Giggs pulled into the middle, cooperated with the retreating Rooney, passed Essien, beautiful, Giggs took the ball, picked a pass to the front of the penalty area, Forlan inserted in the back row...a goal scored!!!!"

"A very beautiful long-range shot from outside the penalty area!" The live commentator exclaimed loudly.

"Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United, so beautiful, after only 11 minutes, Manchester United took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field, which will undoubtedly give Manchester United a favorable position in the game...,
Then, when Rooney, Ryan Giggs and others were excitedly cheering and celebrating the goal on the TV screen, the on-site commentator analyzed the reason for this conceded goal.

"Their positions were a little too high, which resulted in too much distance from the teammates behind them. After being passed by Giggs and Rooney, they directly played a large gap. In the end, facing Forlan's long shot, even Vidic was powerless..."

After seeing Manchester United score the first goal, the Manchester United fans in the stands cheered with excitement. This group of fans who followed the team to Gaddi University just wanted to see Manchester United win the cup and beat Arsenal to win the cup. Is there anything better than this?

The Arsenal fans were a little disappointed, but after seeing the football fans boiled up, they were not to be outdone, and competed with this group of Red Devils.Ruined their celebrations and cheers, and there was chaos on the court.

"Take your time, don't worry, guys!" Wenger walked to the sidelines.Wave to the players.

The big screen of the stadium was also aimed at Wenger and gave him a big close-up, but from the faces of the Chinese, they could not see any anxiety or impatience, on the contrary, what they saw was calmness.

"Perhaps, Wenger's previous remarks about the uselessness of South's locker room spell are likely to be invalidated in this game!" The on-site commentator said with a smile.

But the Chinese didn't pay attention to this, and walked back to their coach's bench, still watching the game with the old gods.

The opening was attacked by Manchester United, and the midfielder had to re-adapt to the position.Yan Lian seized the opportunity to score a goal, and Arsenal did not mess up because of this. After the kick-off was re-kick-off, they saw Arsenal attacking Manchester United in an orderly manner.

Unlike Manchester United's fast-paced attack, Arsenal played more calmly and with more control, while Manchester United was more aggressive, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to crush Arsenal in one fell swoop.Therefore, including Rooney, Alan, Smith and other giants are constantly chasing Arsenal's possession of the ball, the Red Army is more to keep the three lines compact and use the pass to dispatch.

"Push forward a little!" Wenger said to Pat.

Ji Dong on the side also nodded, "Avoid the sharpness of Manchester United, first wear down their vigor and exhaust their energy!"

"Don't scramble for the ball too much with them, pay attention to the control of Rooney after the retreat, Walcott moves forward a bit, and suppresses Manchester United's left. Don't let Giggs play too active!."

Pat was like Wenger's megaphone, conveying Wenger's instructions to the court one by one.

After nearly 12 years, Arsenal players have developed a habit of obeying the orders of the manager.

This is also the minimum ability that a famous coach must have. If the players don't listen to you, no matter how strong the skills and tactics are, it will be useless.

With Wenger's series of adjustments after conceding the ball, after 10 minutes of chaos.Immediately afterwards, Arsenal stabilized the situation.At the beginning, there were several decent counterattacks, all of which were played on Walcott's right.It was difficult for Sylvester to deal with Walcott by himself. If he added a Gerta Johnson, there was no way. However, Alan, Smith and O'Shea were running all over the field, often losing position, and Gessen had to pull Giggs to the left to help Sylvester.

On the whole, Arsenal does not pursue too much possession of the ball, but uses passing to dispatch more. Manchester United is pressing in the midfield, especially Alan and Smith. After Keane left, he became Manchester United's waist.

But the problem is, sometimes, this kind of diligence and hard work can become a weapon that the enemy uses.

In the front row of the stands where the Arsenal fans sit, a patch of red is dotted with two dots of black.

Both Shuo Shuo and Nana were dressed in all black and sat in a group of red jerseys. Among them, Shuo Shuo was wearing the most plain clothes, a black woolen coat, a woolen hat on his head, and a black scarf around his neck. He was not in the middle of winter.

Nana looked much more playful. She wore a black sports sweater with a white camisole and a pair of black sweatpants on her lower body. She looked very youthful, but the black hair in the hat was highlighted with a few crimson strands, and the pair of big sunglasses were too flamboyant.
