Shakhtar Donetsk comes from Ukraine. Once this team was suppressed by Dynamo Kyiv, the giants that ruled Ukraine, but since the beginning of the new century, the Shakhtars have made a huge breakthrough.

They have won four league championships in the past eight seasons and won the Europa League last year, which makes Shakhtar the most dominant team in Ukraine.

The success of this team is closely related to their scouting system. Among the 11 starting players today, 4 of the main players are from Brazil, and the players trained locally are more on the defense to lay the foundation of the team.

As the players lined up in the tunnel, Kaka was surrounded by his fellow Brazilians, while Modric exchanged hugs with his national team-mate Srna.

Arthur was also watching the Brazilian—

William and Fernandinho.

William's position today should be right winger or attacking midfielder. He joined this team not long ago, but he is already the core of this team.

It was Fernandinho who interested Arthur.

At this time, Fernandinho is not playing the position of the midfielder. He plays more of a winger or a second forward in this Miners team. Today, he is partnering with his other compatriot Adriano as a striker.

Of course, this Adelaide is not the former Inter Milan king Adriano, but Adelaide who belongs to the miners.

Kaka noticed Arthur's gaze and introduced him, but what Arthur didn't expect was that Fernandinho seemed to admire him very much, and he shyly asked him to exchange jerseys.

"Of course," Arthur smiled and exchanged a hug with him, "I hope we all have a good performance in this game."

Next time we fight, maybe they will be in the matchup position.

Of course, not all Brazilians regard Kaka as an idol. Ade of the Shakhtar team obviously doesn't like the captain of his country.

The referee team came out of the waiting room, and the players of the two teams stood up obediently.When the players came on the field, Arthur found that the stadium had become the home of Manchester United. When he and Kaka played, the audience cheered the loudest, which made Arthur smile.

Kaka glanced at Arthur and smiled too.

When the players were taking pictures, Arthur found that De Gea was a little nervous. In the last two league games, De Gea and Kuzsak each conceded a goal. If it wasn't for De Gea's low value, he would have been nitpicking. Critics criticized it as parallel imports.

He hugged De Gea's shoulders, "Relax David, remember what BOSS said? You have to be confident."

Arthur's words made De Gea dumbfounded, but the words of BOSS clearly made you confident, right?team leader.

Ferguson said: It doesn't matter if you lose the ball, just let your captain score another one.

Under normal circumstances, the goalkeeper is the team's "loincloth", but at Manchester United it has become their captain. Is their boss too worried about him?

After the photo was taken, both sides guessed the side, and Arthur decisively chose the side after he won.

He chose the direction of the goal facing the stands of his expedition fans, and ran to the backcourt before the kick-off, and signaled to the fans to let them cheer on De Gea before running back to the frontcourt.

The referee glanced at Arthur and didn't accuse him of delaying for a few seconds before blowing his whistle and the game began!

Manchester United played 433 today. The front trident from left to right is Fatty, Benzema and Robben.

The midfielder is Kaka, Arthur and Modric.

On the defense, Ferdinand has not recovered from his injury, and Evans and Vidic are still partnered as central defenders. The two full-backs are Evra and the more impactful Valencia.

The lineup of miners is 442.

Even with the ball in Shakhtar's side, Adriano passed the ball back to the midfield at the start of the game, and then attacked from their right flank, relying on Willian to open the situation.

Arthur and the coaching staff have watched a lot of video games of the Shakhtars last season with the coaching staff. At this time, William, who is the core of the Shakhtars, plays very much like Ronaldinho. He has absolute possession of the ball. , he is a very creative player.

He has good physical fitness, fast speed, never skimps on defense, and has good defensive ability. He played in the Ukrainian league and his confrontation ability is not weak.

So when we met each other, the fat man suffered a bit from him. The fat man didn't expect that this kid who was a whole circle smaller than himself was not bad at confrontation. When he deliberately wanted to teach him a lesson, he not only resisted Live in yourself, and give yourself away!

Kaka made up the defense in time. Kaka is not good at defense, but he has to share some defensive tasks with Arthur and Modric in the midfield. Fortunately, he has good speed. In Evra's time, they ended up double-teaming with Evra. Seeing that he was about to lose the ball, William kicked the ball out of the baseline without hesitation and won a corner kick.

The head coach of the Miners, Lucescu, nodded with satisfaction. This is his strategy. The whole team defends when defending, and strives for goals when attacking. If it is unfavorable, strive for set kicks.

Maybe he was thinking too conservatively, he thought.

Arthur was involved in defending the corner, opting to mark Fernandinho to prevent him from running in from behind.

Willian's corner was eventually picked up by De Gea.

Because at the beginning of the game, De Gea directly threw the ball to find Valencia. Robben likes Valencia very much recently because this kid cooperates well with him.

After receiving the ball, Valencia made a through pass to Robben, who was already ready to go. Arthur and Modric also moved closer to the right. Manchester United instantly hoarded multiple offensive players on the left and center of the miners.

Of course Robben didn't intend to pass the ball after he received the ball, but his out of the corner of his eye glanced to Arthur who had switched positions with Modric and inserted into the right rib. That position happened to be the place where he cut inside. .

Seeing that Arthur didn't intend to let him do it alone, the Dutchman had eaten Arthur's pie recently, and he passed the ball to Arthur's feet without hesitation.

After Arthur advanced from the middle, it aroused the high vigilance of the miners' defense. Even Kaka advanced, and there was only one Rooney waiting to respond in the entire right side, which also made the miners' rear The defense can only be marked according to the tasks assigned by the coach.

When the ball reached Arthur's feet, the miners' full-back Latt and the two midfielders wanted to form a circle. Arthur held the ball, flexibly leaned to the left, and then pulled it to the right, easily breaking through Latt , Arthur picked with the toe of his right foot, and the ball followed the arc and flew above Benzema.

There is only one full-back Brazilian Irsinho left in front of Benzema. He has an advantage in physique, which also allowed him to fight for this point. The ball hit out of the penalty area, but rolled to Kaka's feet!

Kaka made a follow-up shot without hesitation. It was a ground ball. Pyatov flew to block again, but this time he let go and the ball rolled out of the penalty area. Fatty, who was alone on the left before, did not He accepted this great gift without hesitation, and opened the record first!

"Rooney's goal! Pyatov barely saved half of Rooney's follow-up shot. He shouldn't have let go just now, but it's not entirely his fault. The root cause of the constant danger in front of the goal is still Because the two central defenders were drawn to their right." BBC Live City, John.Mortensen commented.

"When they have sharp-sighted shooters like Kaka and Rooney in front of their goal, how can their defense be taken lightly?" Alan.Hiller shook his head.

"Are they going to let Arthur and Robben pass? Arthur can shoot." Lineker said with a smile.

John.Mortensen looked at the last guest, Gerrard who missed this round of the league due to injury, Gerrard spread his hands and said: "If I were Arthur, I would shoot. I want to have multiple top scorers around my goal. At that time, there is no use in doing anything other than hoping that your goalkeeper will turn into an octopus."

Gerrard added, "Manchester United's offensive routine is too beautiful. If they have an Arthur with better physical fitness, even if we are mortal enemies, I think Manchester United will have a chance to defend the title again this season."

He spread his hands, "But as everyone knows, Arthur's physical fitness has always been a problem. As long as the Shakhtar team insists on defense and has a better ability to capture opportunities, Manchester United may still lose."

Liverpool's captain is clearly looking forward to the defeat of his arch-rivals.

Manchester United fans turn the channel angrily, they should watch Sky Sports -

When I saw this guy appearing in the lineup of commentators!

Gerrard was very precise. After falling behind by 1 goal, the miners became more determined on the defensive end. Fernandinho also joined the defense and became the first barrier.

When attacking, they still mainly played on the left of Manchester United. Their advantage in the midfield made Arthur retreat after gesturing to Ferguson.

Lucescu immediately caught this signal. With Arthur's retreat, Manchester United's lineup became 4231, Kaka returned to his favorite position, Modric was in charge of the organization, and Arthur actually changed. Defensive midfielder!

He widened his eyes—

Extravagance!

Ferguson chewed his gum slowly, he glanced at the time card, it was only 20 minutes, it was early.

He glanced at Redondo behind him again, when Arthur had the physique of his peak, his teeth could laugh out!

After Arthur retreated, William's life was difficult, and Evra, the number one left king in the hearts of Manchester United fans, was not such an easy barrier to cross!

After he worked so hard to pass Evra, he found that every time he passed the ball, Arthur would use his speed to intercept the ball ahead of his own striker, and then made a long pass accurately, passing the ball to the right, and then the Dutchman Taking off on the right again!

It's like he worked so hard to break through others, just to "pass" him!

If it weren't for the defense doing a good job this time, it's not just 1 goal behind now!

Lucescu frowned. Of course it wasn't William's fault.

Arthur is already fast, as long as William's passing intention is caught by him, basically there is nothing wrong with Adriano and Fernandinho!

He made a new order, shouting Srna's name loudly, Zhonglu!

The miners' offensive core has shifted from Willian to Modric's teammate Srna in the national team.

Srna is a very good player and has always been a backbone player of the Plaid Legion. He can be regarded as Modric's predecessor. Although William was the core of the offense before, it was often Srna who gave him the ball.

In the 35th minute of the game, Srna dribbled the ball in from the left. Modric clashed with him when intercepting. I fell down.

Arthur realized that it was Modric who brought Srna down while defending, and immediately ran over to pull Modric up first, and then extended his hand to Srna.

Srna glanced at him, but was still pulled up by him.

Although today's referee did not give the card, he awarded a free kick to Shakhtar, and it was Srna standing in front of the penalty spot.

This position is more than 40 meters in front of the goal. Such a distance is beyond Srna's shooting range. Arthur made a gesture to De Gea behind him and stared at Adriano himself.
