Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior
Chapter 349: Kill the game alone and defend the English League Cup (page 13)
"Arsenal's counterattack was really quick. From the right corner of the penalty area to Martin's goal, the whole process only took 13 seconds..."
Speaking of this, Lex Sports commentator Zhan Jun said loudly: "But the most important thing is Martin's volley. If it were any other player, even Van Persie, who is good at volleys, would have a hard time scoring. It was done by running at high speed." The shooting action perfectly combines inertia and leg strength, and it is precisely because of this that De Gea, who has excellent goal-line skills, has no reaction."
The on-site director gave Martin a close-up shot.
A large number of female fans in front of the TV looked at that handsome face and smiled evilly. They couldn't help but squeeze their legs and let out an uncontrollable moan: "So handsome~"
The new Wembley Stadium has completely become a sea of joy for Arsenal fans, and the passion they released has completely driven neutral fans to shout Martin's name along with them.
The overwhelming shouts came one after another.
He also seemed particularly excited to score the opening goal. He stood there with his hands raised behind his ears as if listening.
"Martin—"
The Arsenal fans and neutral fans at the scene were very knowledgeable and responded to Martin immediately.
Manchester United head coach Mourinho did not show any dissatisfaction with this conceded goal.
If Arsenal scored a goal through a regular counterattack, they would definitely have to vent, but Martin's volley was entirely the star's personal ability.
Perhaps it can be said that the players did not defend well.
But there are some players that you simply can't defend completely.
If you can't keep up with the speed, everything is in vain.
Looking at the high-spirited Martin, Mourinho thought of the summer of 2015 again.
"Farke! This guy Arsene is really cheap!"
The game starts again.
Manchester United, which was lagging behind, had no choice but to create opportunities by strengthening its offense.
The balance was broken, and the Manchester United players also knew that defending would not equalize the score, but on the contrary would widen the point difference.
Ibrahimovic is full of desire to score goals. When his teammates perform poorly, he is forced to open his arsenal and use his personal ability to create a threat to Ospina's goal.
It's a pity that my feet didn't feel good today. Two consecutive long-range shots were either too high or too high.
In the 63rd minute of the game, Manchester United took the lead in making personnel adjustments.
Rooney replaces Lingard and Rashford replaces Martial.
After completing the adjustment, Manchester United's offense has not changed much. On the contrary, the substitute players still need to re-adapt to the rhythm on the field and reduce the quality of the offense.
But there is nothing that can be done about it.
Lingard and Martial have little effect on the court. Mourinho obviously wants to use Rashford, who has been in good form recently, and experienced veteran captain Rooney to break the game to see if he can create some opportunities.
Arsenal did not make personnel adjustments until the 68th minute of the game.
Xhaka replaces Ramsey.
Two minutes later, Walcott replaced Welbeck.
The game entered the th minute, and the physical fitness of the starting players on both sides dropped significantly, and the rhythm slowed down.
But neither team took it lightly, because it was also very easy to score goals during this period.
Decreased physical fitness means that concentration will decrease. Once the opponent's attack is smooth and coordinated, it will be too late to react.
No special reminder from Mourinho is needed, the Manchester United players on the field know what to do.
Stabilize the situation first.
It's true to be one goal behind, but as long as the score is not stretched, it will be easy to equalize the score.
Manchester United players played with the mentality of stability first, waiting until Arsenal's offensive rhythm slowed down before delivering a fatal blow.
It's a great idea, but it's a pity that it's very difficult to turn it into reality.
Wenger's use of Xhaka to replace Ramsey was mainly reflected in controlling the game.
Kante is the main defender and occasionally assists in transitional transfers. Xhaka, who cooperates with Martin, is increasingly adapting to the existing Arsenal tactical system and can well connect the two ends of the offense and defense.
Without the pressure of organization and defense, Martin can focus more on offense.
As time went on, Manchester United's defenders felt more and more pressure.
Mourinho, who was standing in the technical area commanded by the home team coach, frowned and stared at the court.
Obviously, he is looking for problems exposed on both ends of Arsenal's offense and defense.
As the best head coach in world football today, Mourinho is famous for his substitution adjustments.
What bothered him was that neither adjustment had even the slightest effect.
So, he was wondering whether to play the third card.
In the 76th minute, Martin received a cross pass from Walcott on the right side of the attack and made a slight adjustment. The cross he sent accurately found Cavani between Smalling and Bailly. The latter jumped high. The header is powerful.
Just as he was about to fly into the goal, De Gea turned sideways and just knocked the football out.
Smalling belatedly made a big-footed clearance and kicked the ball out of the sideline.
"oooooooo——"
Immediately, subconscious exclamations from Manchester United fans rang out over the new Wembley Stadium.
Mourinho on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief.
Wenger shook his head regretfully and sighed.
If this goal is scored, there will be no suspense in the game.
A minute later, Martin again sent a wonderful pass from the right. Cavani turned his back to the goal from the penalty spot and used his chest to push the ball back. Then he inserted Xhaka, who participated in the attack and reached the top area of the penalty area, and kept the ball. The quality of the low shot with the left foot is very high.
It was De Gea who performed bravely again. His De Gea blocked the ball, escaped from the outside of the left goal post, and hit the billboard behind the goal.
Mourinho couldn't sit still, he knew he had to make one last adjustment.
But not now, but wait.
When defending corner kicks, substitutions are the most taboo.
Manchester United's corner kick defense adopts man-to-man defense, focusing on marking Arsenal's players with excellent header ability.
Although this method can easily be taken away by the movement and create space, but after looking at several players with excellent header ability, the football was easily obtained by De Gea who hit the line of the small penalty area.
The broadcast showed the scene. Fellaini, who had an afro, was stuffing his jersey into his shorts. Next to him stood assistant coach Faria, who was holding a tactical manual. Mourinho was talking about tactics from time to time.
Regarding the use of Fellaini, Mourinho uses it as a defensive midfielder when he starts or leads the score. Most of his substitute appearances are used as a center.
I have to say, the effect is really good.
Of course, this is also related to the lack of strength of Manchester United's bench players.
If only Guardiola had full options to buy and sell players, Manchester United would definitely become the most difficult team to deal with in the Premier League.
Since there was no dead ball, Fellaini had to wait on the sidelines.
Manchester United's attack from the backcourt was passed down continuously, and the football was quickly given to captain Rooney.
Leshi sports commentator Zhan Jun said naturally: "I have Lu Xiaopang in my family, and I am blessed and healthy. I just don't know if I will score a goal in this game..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Rooney, who had received the ball, faked a shot from the front of the penalty area and deflected Xhaka away, and then shot.
