At 2014:1 pm on January 7, 45, the first round of the League Cup semi-final was held at the Emirates Stadium, and Arsenal played against Manchester United at home.

Exactly as Wenger expected, Manchester United arranged for substitutes and young players in this irrelevant game because of their poor league record.

Facing such an opponent, Wenger would naturally not be polite, and he also partially rotated some of the main players who were fatigued.

Of course, Zhang Xu, the physical superman, is the only one who can't be shaken.

温格派出的出场阵容依然还是大家熟悉的3-2-3-2：守门员1-斯泽斯尼；后卫17号-蒙雷尼尔，28号-吉布斯，25号-延金森；后腰18号张旭和20号-弗拉米尼；中场是19号-卡索拉，11号-厄齐尔，7号-罗西基；前锋15号-张伯伦和9号-波多尔斯基。

As soon as the game started, Arsenal, who were playing at home, launched a crazy attack under the leadership of Zhang Xu.

In the 3rd minute of the game, Zhang Xu intercepted the ball in the middle, and immediately dribbled the ball forward quickly. After passing the opponent's two players, he suddenly took a long shot about 35 yards from the goal!

The football, like a fired shell, flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal with the sound of whistling wind!Manchester United's goalkeeper responded in a timely manner. He made a sideways save and froze the football with his fingertips!
Just like that, the football changed direction a little bit, hit the crossbar of the goal, and then bounced back into the penalty area, and the Manchester United defender quickly cleared.

Although the goal was not scored, it greatly inspired Arsenal's morale and fighting spirit.

Soon, the game officially entered Zhang Xu's control.

In the 19th minute of the game, it was Zhang Xu again. With a precise tackle, he directly intercepted the opponent's pass and stabbed it to his teammate Flamini.

Flamini passes the ball to Cazorla on the right.

Cazorla quickly moved forward and then crossed directly. Podolski grabbed the first point in the penalty area, but he failed to set the position and the ball was confiscated by the Manchester United goalkeeper.

In the 206th minute of the game, it was still Zhang Xu. After receiving a pass from Flamini near the center line, he once again staged his own unreasonable breakthrough with the ball. Using his abnormal speed and body, he once again came to the edge of Manchester United's big penalty area.

Just when everyone thought he was about to take another long shot, he chose to pass the ball!With a direct pass, the football was sent to the young player Chamberlain.

Chamberlain faced the goalkeeper and volleyed!
Soccer hits the net!One to zero!

In the 403rd minute of the game, after Flamini broke through with the ball, he scored with his right foot and distributed the football to Cazorla on the right.

Cazorla made a cross directly!
Zhang Xu overwhelmed the crowd in the middle of the penalty area. A beautiful lion shook his head and directly pushed the football towards the far corner of the goal!
This time, Manchester United's goalkeeper was a little slow to react, and the football hit the net!

The ball went in!Two to zero!
The first half is over, and the second half will change sides and fight again!
Arsenal, leading by two goals, relaxed their mentality.So at the beginning of the second half, they were beaten by Manchester United.

If Zhang Xu hadn't tried his best to defend, perhaps Manchester United might have scored one goal, or even two goals!

Gradually, under Zhang Xu's reminder, the Arsenal players slowly recovered, so the game entered Zhang Xu's time again.

In the 703rd minute of the game, Zhang Xu made a straight pass near the center line, directly passed through the gap between the three players, and accurately arrived at the right edge of the penalty area!
Podolski has been ambushing here and quickly killed, grabbed the football before the Manchester United defender, controlled the football, and then shot directly!

Manchester United's goalkeeper swooped and kicked the football out!

Cazorla grabs the first point, shoot again!This time, Manchester United's goalkeeper was powerless!The football flew straight into the goal!
Three to zero!Arsenal seal the victory!

Since then, although Arsenal still got some opportunities under Zhang Xu's organization, they failed to create goals. In the end, in the first round of the League Cup semi-final, Arsenal beat Manchester United [-]-[-] at home.
