Strong Waist

Today's Old Trafford is particularly lively, and the whole stadium is in an extremely hot atmosphere.

Before the game started, Manchester United fans used all kinds of noise to put pressure on Arsenal.

In recent years, Manchester United's performance against Arsenal has been extremely poor, which has also made Manchester United fans extremely worried. This game is a key battle to advance to the top four of the Europa League. They don't want to go back to play in the league.

Since Ferguson retired, Manchester United has not won a championship for a full five years.

This is unacceptable for Manchester United, which has a glorious history. They are eager to get back on track and gradually move towards their peak.

And it all starts with taking down Arsenal!

Arsenal must be a strong enemy!

This was the case with Arsenal during Wenger's time, and the same was true for Arsenal during Mourinho's time.

Although there was a transitional period when Patel was coaching, Arsenal at that time also stabilized the situation with the outstanding performance of Lucky.

Arsenal is an unbeatable team, and they are very tenacious, which is why many teams are afraid of them.

Don't give up until the last moment, Arsenal interprets this sentence very well.

Now Arsenal has put more pressure on Manchester United with its strong defense and counterattack ability.

Fortunately, this is their home game, and they have some confidence in defeating Arsenal!

For this reason, Manchester United fans shouted the slogan "Send Arsenal back home".

But shouting slogans loudly does not mean that the game will be played well.

A nostalgic face also appeared at the scene.

Sir Ferguson, who has not appeared for a long time, sat in the stands. Sir Ferguson's face was ruddy. Obviously, after retirement, there was no pressure and his condition was relieved.

Ferguson was still chewing gum, which was so familiar.

However, he was not sitting in the coaching seat, but in the stands.

Ferguson's appearance caused a little commotion at the scene, and Manchester United fans shouted the name "Ferguson" for a full minute.

They used this way to tell them how much they loved this Scottish old man.

Ferguson's arrival will definitely bring a certain morale bonus to Manchester United's players.

Players from both sides entered the field.

Arsenal players were booed.

Lukay walked in front with his head held high, feeling the pressure from the outside world, and he couldn't help but curl his lips secretly.

Such a big show seemed to be a sure win.

The players of both teams came to the stadium and stood still.

Manchester United (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Valencia, Bailly, Rojo, Luke Shaw.

Midfielders: Lingard, Carrick, Mkhitaryan, Pogba, Rashford.

Forward: Ibrahimovic.

Arsenal (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Martinez.

Defenders: Bellerin, Jimenez, Hummels, Robertson.

Midfielders: Kante, Wilshere, Lukay.

Forwards: Aubameyang, Lukaku, Mane.

There is another particularly interesting point in this game.

That is, four players from the 2012 European Best Young Team appeared in the lineup of this game.

They are Luke Shaw, Pogba, Lukaku and Lukaku.

After five years of experience and growth, the young players in the first half have become the main force and even the core players of the team.

They can already get rid of the word "young", even if they are placed on the entire European stage, they are top players.

This is also indirectly positive, the media at that time had enough vision.

The expressions of the players on both sides were extremely serious.

Obviously, they all attach great importance to this game.

After all, it is a key game to advance to the semi-finals, especially for Manchester United. They not only have to win the game, but also have to score three goals to win.

This is undoubtedly a difficult task, and Arsenal cannot score.

Whenever Arsenal scores a goal, their pressure will rise sharply.

"The defense line must be spirited and defend their attacking points. We can't lose the ball!"

Pogba said seriously.

It is rare for the French midfielder to show such a solemn look. Obviously, after the last defeat, Pogba faced the pressure of the media and public opinion and was eager to prove himself.

And there is only one way to prove it, that is to kill Arsenal.

Pogba wants to tell the world that he is better than Lucky.

"The players of both teams have come to their respective halves. This is the second round of the Europa League quarter-finals, where Manchester United will face Arsenal at home!"

"In the last round, Arsenal beat Manchester United 2:0. Arsenal currently has the advantage, which undoubtedly puts huge pressure on Manchester United. If Manchester United wants to advance, they can only score three goals at home to get a chance to advance!"

After the commentator Andy Gray finished speaking, he continued: "Of course, we can focus on the confrontation in the midfield. After the last game, various remarks and doubts about Manchester United midfielder Pogba caused a lot of public opinion. Can Pogba really play a core role?"

"Why did Pogba play so badly when facing Kai?"

"Although one game can't explain anything, if Pogba wants to change the direction of public opinion, he must do something!"

Richard, the commentator partner, continued: "Pogba is undoubtedly an excellent player, but his role requires specific conditions to be activated, and Manchester United and Solskjaer obviously do not have this method. In contrast, Kai can perform well in any situation!" "This mainly depends on Kai's more comprehensive ability and his spiritual attribute bonus. Although this kind of thing is invisible and intangible, it can always play an important role!" "Arsenal can get out of many difficulties, and Kai has made a great contribution here!" After the two said, the game started with the referee's whistle. Manchester United fans at the scene cheered violently. Manchester United kicked off first. The commentator was still making the opening remarks, and the game was still in the trial. Manchester United did not sneak attack at the beginning. This also made Arsenal's position start to move forward a little. In addition, the frontcourt still gave Pogba enough pressure. "Shit!" Pogba passed the ball with difficulty, and cursed in his heart. This kind of kick again. Pogba hated someone staring at him playing like this. And not just one!

Arsenal's pressing is a coordinated operation. After blocking the passing channel, another person will quickly move forward. If Pogba passes slowly, he may lose the ball.

Losing the ball in the back position is fatal.

Pogba did not dare to be arrogant. He could only pass the ball as quickly as possible again and again, and sort out the rhythm at the same time.

After one experience, Pogba was no longer so embarrassed in the face of this kind of pressing.

Although it can't be said to be at ease, he can barely control the situation.

"Not enough pressure!"

Lekai thought to himself after watching Manchester United stabilize the ball.

Soon, Lekai raised his head and shouted; "Romelu, you also go up and grab! Grab the ball from behind!"

Hearing Lekai's voice, Lukaku responded immediately.

Pogba just got the ball and wanted to pass it out, when suddenly there was pressure behind him.

A pass was a little wrong.

The ball flew to the side, where Aubameyang ran away.

But Carrick reacted quickly, and kicked the ball out of bounds with a sliding tackle.

"Hey! Pay attention!"

Carrick shouted angrily after he stood up.

Pogba was also very depressed.

He didn't expect Lukaku to attack from behind.

He raised his hand and made a gesture to express his apology.

But Pogba was still very upset.

After the ball was kicked out again, Arsenal retreated to the back as there was no angle to attack.

At the same time, Manchester United's players also suddenly approached forward.

Manchester United also wanted to play high-pressure pressing.

Seeing the opponent's player sprinting towards him, Luka passed the ball to Kante sideways.

Kante passed back, and Lingard rushed towards Luka.

Luka turned around and separated Lingard and the ball with his back, and completed the transfer.

Lingard tried desperately to drill forward, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake Luka.

At this time, the gap in physical confrontation appeared.

And Manchester United can only say that they can use high-pressure pressing, but they are far from proficient.

At least compared to Liverpool's crazy style of play, Manchester United's pressing ability is still much more immature.
