From the man behind the football king to the football king.

Chapter 550: An Old Man's Youthful Madness

Sanchez was a little scared and didn't pass the ball several times, which obviously made Wenger very angry.

However, Sanchez did not think he did anything wrong. He still believed that if he had passed Ashley Young, the offensive effect would have been better.

It’s not that my choice was wrong, I just need to keep working hard. Once you open that door, you’ll be on the road to glory.

Yes, he was just afraid of being scolded, not that he thought he was wrong.

It's two different things.

However, Sanchez, who has played for Arsenal for almost four years, also knows that their head coach, who has always been gentle and elegant, actually has a very hot temper. He just tries hard to control his temper and try not to lose his temper.

But once the old man is pissed off, he can be very scary. He is definitely worse than another legendary Premier League coach, Ferguson.

Sanchez knew that what he did today definitely pissed off Wenger.

Sanchez walked slowly on purpose, wandering leisurely in the corridor, hoping that he would return a little later and Wenger would have forgotten about the matter, or Wenger would have scolded other people, such as the evil beggar or Aubameyang, and his anger would subside?

………………

After waiting for about two minutes, Sanchez thought the time was about right, so he opened the door and went in.

"I have a stomachache and just went to the bathroom." Sanchez said without waiting for others to ask.

Then, Sanchez pretended not to see Wenger's gaze and walked to the bench and sat down.

"Hey, Mesut, what's going on..." Sanchez winked at the evil beggar and asked in a low voice.

Before he could finish his words, the evil beggar and Bellerin, who were sitting on both sides of him, immediately stood up.

Watching the two men disappear in different directions and the locker room fall silent, Sanchez immediately knew he was in trouble.

"I still couldn't avoid it." He lamented in his heart.

Then, Sanchez, with his head down, saw a pair of black leather shoes that were polished to a shine. The shoes stopped in front of him with the toes facing him.

Sanchez thought to himself: Oh no, it’s coming after all!

Sanchez looked up and forced a smile, "Boss, you...are looking for me?"

Wenger didn't say anything. The old man was holding a bottle of mineral water with the cap unscrewed.

Wenger raised the bottle and wanted to pour the water directly on Sanchez's forehead, hoping to cool down his hot brain. However, Sanchez subconsciously dodged, and his raised arm just hit the bottle. The mouth of the bottle tilted, and although Sanchez's face was splashed with water, more of it poured on Wenger's shoes.

Seeing the shiny black leather shoes getting wet, Sanchez couldn't help laughing.

………………

Seeing Sanchez laughing, Wenger was so angry that he picked up a bottle with half a bottle of water and threw it at him.

Sanchez jumped and dodged, hiding in crowded places, and the bottles not only hit him, but also the beggar and Koscielny.

Sanchez dodged and laughed.

Wenger became even angrier and he hit the ball twice more, but Sanchez dodged it with his agile dribbling skills.

Wenger was so angry that he threw the water bottle away.

With a "pop" sound, the bottle fell accurately on the forehead of Aubameyang, who was watching the fun foolishly on the side.

"Hey——" Meiyangyang was about to speak when she saw Wenger's glaring eyes. She immediately became intimidated, lowered her eyebrows and pretended that nothing had happened.

After all, he is old, and Wenger was exhausted and out of breath after this chase. Of course, he might also be angry.

He put his hands on his hips and gasped for air.

Sanchez ran over and comforted him, "Boss, don't be angry. Be careful not to get angry and hurt your health."

Wenger glared at Sanchez, the two men were very close, almost nose to nose.

Wenger slapped Sanchez on the head and snorted.

The evil beggar and others who were watching the show came up immediately, and several of them helped the old man find a seat to sit down. Some of them also secretly winked at him, meaning that it was good, the rain had stopped and the sky was clear.

………………

After all this commotion, there is not much time left.

Wenger glared at the boys and had to hurry up to explain the tactics for the second half of the game.

The first thing he needs to do is to encourage people spiritually. It is difficult for a team that has lost its fighting spirit and has no hope for the result to win a comeback.

Wenger told them that if we could score before the middle of the second half, the victory would be ours.

If someone else said this, the effect would definitely be mediocre, and no one would really believe it. But when Wenger said this, at least most of the Arsenal players believed it, because he had the confidence and qualifications to say this.

Of course, spirit is only one aspect, reversal also requires reasonable tactical play.

Before the start of the second half, Wenger made a substitution.

Manchester United's old player Welbeck replaced Chambers, and Arsenal changed to 433. Evil Beggar, Xhaka and Ramsey formed a three-man midfield, Evil Beggar appeared on the left, and Welbeck, Aubameyang and Sanchez partnered up in the front line.

Welbeck was brought on as Wenger was well aware of how hungry this former Manchester United player was for the game, especially when the opponent was Manchester United.

The purpose of letting the evil beggar play as the left midfielder is to suppress Manchester United's attack on the right.

In the first half of the game, Rashford's Manchester United's left side was relatively quiet, while Mbappe's right side was very active.

Of course, during the half-time break, Wenger finally scolded Sanchez harshly.

If someone hits you, you hide; if someone scolds you, you can't just cover your ears and ignore it.

………………

Sanchez stared at Ashley Young, he still wanted to force Ashley Young. But Ashley Young once, he felt confused and uncomfortable.

Moreover, Sanchez believed that as long as he passed Ashley Young, then cut into the penalty area and scored a goal, the old man would not hit him but would only praise him.

Well, that’s it.

On the sidelines, Wenger smiled with relief at Sanchez's serious expression. He said to Pat Rice, "These guys need to be beaten and scolded before they will behave."

"I always thought that guy wouldn't be so obedient," Pat Rice said, pointing to his head. "I've seen through it. That guy is just stubborn."

"Same as you?" Wenger retorted.

On the other side, Mourinho saw all this. He snorted, trailing 0:2 at halftime, Wenger still had the mood to argue with his assistant?

Then he became alert.

Although Mourinho has an overwhelming advantage in the record against Wenger, and he once jokingly called Wenger an "expert in failure", Mourinho also knows that this old French man is not an easy guy to deal with.

Mourinho stood up and walked to the sidelines, put his hands in his pockets, and stared at the field.

At this time, the second half of the game had already started for more than ten minutes, and Arsenal launched a fierce attack on Manchester United's goal from the beginning of the game.

The activeness of the Evil Beggar put a lot of pressure on Manchester United's right defense, and Mbappe's number of assists decreased significantly.

At this time, an unexpected situation occurred. Mbappe felt discomfort in his ankle during a defense and had to leave the field.

Mourinho sent on Mahrez.

………………

"When you come on the court, play on the left side," Mourinho instructed.

Mahrez is a versatile player in the frontcourt, who can play on both sides and as a front midfielder. However, today Mourinho arranged Mahrez to play on the left, while the left-footed Rashford played on the right.

"Tell Marcus to strengthen the attack on the right."

"Pay more attention to lateral passes." Mourinho drew a cross on the tactical board.

"When Marcus becomes active on the right, Arsenal's defense will inevitably tilt to this side, and then, on the left, your chance will come!"

Mahrez nodded vigorously, he couldn't wait to play.

When Mahrez joined Manchester United last summer, he was aiming for a starting position, but after joining the team, he found himself facing a difficult situation.

Needless to say, Bruno's position as attacking midfielder is unshakable; on the two wingers, the two super geniuses Rashford and Mbappe also made him breathless and firmly occupied the main position.

However, Mahrez has no shortage of opportunities to play. After all, Manchester United has been fighting on multiple fronts since the beginning of the season, and substitute rotation players including him have gotten a lot of opportunities to play.

However, as a professional player, especially one who thinks his ability is no weaker than Rashford and Mbappe, Mahrez has always wanted to seize the starting position.

Now, Mahrez will have to fight for the starting spot.

………………

After Mahrez came on as a substitute and conveyed Mourinho's tactical instructions to the players on the field, Rashford soon became active on Manchester United's right, which forced the evil beggar to participate in the defense and Arsenal's left-wing attack was suppressed.

Even Mourinho did not expect that his adjustment would have such an immediate effect.

Just five minutes later, Manchester United launched an attack on the right.

Rashford was very fast. He first forced his way past the evil beggar, and then continued to speed along the sidelines.

After attracting Arsenal's defensive force to this side, the ball was suddenly transferred diagonally.

In the middle, Bruno received the ball. He did not let the ball stay under his feet, but passed it directly to the left.

Mahrez launched an attack on the left side, dribbled the ball near the baseline and made a cross.

The ball flew in an arc towards the goal. Arsenal goalkeeper Ospina rushed out to intercept the ball directly from the air. But after the attack, Ospina realized that his judgment was wrong. The arc of the ball passed by Mahrez was a little floating, and the ball just passed through Ospina's hands.

"The ball is missed!" commentator Lineker shouted loudly.

The terrified Ospina turned his head and saw a player in a red jersey rushing up from the back post.

"Cancelo!"

Manchester United's right-back Cancelo rushed to the back post and headed the ball with a diving header!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLL!!! Cancelo! Cancelo!! Cancelo!!!"

“Manchester United leads Arsenal 3:0!!!”
