Chapter 106 The Unbeatable Arsenal

Manchester United wanted to use high-intensity pressing to disrupt Arsenal's organization, but they underestimated Arsenal's midfield intensity.

Both Lucky and Wilshere know how to engage in physical confrontation and are also very good at holding the ball.

As a result, despite the pressure they exerted, they failed to disrupt Arsenal's overall rhythm.

From a scene perspective, Manchester United was engaging in more useless runs and confrontations, while Arsenal was constantly testing the ball with passes.

Arsenal has a foundation of passing and controlling. Although they no longer play like this tactically, the individual players' ball-holding abilities are still excellent.

This is also the reason why Arsenal can still hold steady when faced with Liverpool's pressing.

Even Liverpool can hardly disrupt Arsenal's rhythm quickly, let alone Manchester United.

The game time passed little by little, ten minutes passed, and Manchester United still tried to steal the ball, but the effect was not obvious. Instead, it felt like they were being fooled.

"Manchester United! They obviously haven't specially trained the tactics of high-position pressing. The overall linkage is too poor! Every press is one after another. Arsenal only needs one pass to solve the problem."

"The core of the high-position press is to 'play together'. You need to block the opponent's passing channels while pressing, but Manchester United does a very poor job in this regard!"

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray shook his head. He couldn't stand it anymore.

Manchester United played hard, but they were too reckless.

And this kind of recklessness is the kind of recklessness that has no brains at all. The play is chaotic and the rhythm is scattered.

On the other hand, Arsenal played with ease.

This made both commentators and fans anxious.

The camera focused on Ferguson's face in the stands. The old Jazz was chewing gum quickly and frowning. He was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Manchester United's performance.

But he is no longer the head coach, and he can't provide any help.

It’s heartbreaking to watch!

At this moment, Arsenal suddenly played a wonderful attack from the wing.

Lucky knocked the ball to Mane, who crossed to Wilshere. With his back turned, Wilshere rubbed the ball with his outside instep and passed it to the back space.

Mane immediately ran at full speed and pulled out of position in an instant.

"Mane is down!

"

Andy Gray exclaimed.

The Manchester United fans at Old Trafford also gasped.

However, Mane seemed to have not adjusted and failed to release the ball immediately. By the time he adjusted and passed the ball, Valencia had already followed, and the ball hit the opponent's calf and flew out of the baseline.

"Mane failed to successfully kick the ball, but this attack is a danger signal. Manchester United can no longer give Arsenal such a chance to attack. Once the cross is successful, Arsenal will have Lukaku's advantage in the penalty area. Kai also quickly moved forward to form the second point of contention. In this case, Manchester United's goal was in danger! "

Andy Gray shook his head and said; "We said at the beginning that if Manchester United concedes a goal, their situation will become extremely bad!"

"Arsenal's corner kick!"

Robertson stepped forward to take the corner kick.

Robertson raised his hand and immediately took a corner kick.

The corner kick was extremely close to the goal. Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea reacted quickly and knocked the ball away with both hands.

Kanter, who was protecting from behind, looked at the falling ball. He couldn't stop, and the ball hit his calf and flew towards Pogba.

How could Pogba give up such a good opportunity and pass the ball to Rashford with one kick.

"Kante made a mistake, Pogba distributed the ball to the wing, Manchester United counterattacked!"

Andy Gray's eyes lit up.

This was probably United's best chance of scoring.

Kanter hurriedly chased back.

But Rashford was too fast. He and Brahimovic hit the wall and passed Bellerin.

Rashford directly chooses to cut inside.

Seeing Rashford getting closer and closer to the goal, Arsenal's defense suddenly became a little panicked.

"Stop him!"

Martinez roared and came to the near post.

Jimenez stepped forward quickly.

But before the opponent could get into position, Rashford made a cross.

The ball flew towards Ibrahimovic, who stood upright, making it difficult for Hummels to make defensive predictions.

At this moment, the ball passed under Ibrahimovic's crotch.

"Missed the ball?"

Just as Hummels was about to make a move, Ibrahimović swung his left foot behind him, a move similar to a flower arrangement, and the ball flew into the far corner of the goal.

Manchester United scored with this wonderful counterattack!

"Goal!

!

!

!

!

! "

"Yin Brahimovic, with a light swinging leg hook, the whole action was easy and freehand. He helped Manchester United get the leading goal!"

"Of course, Rashford's breakthrough was also wonderful. Manchester United's counterattack was too fast!"

Old Trafford exploded.

Manchester United fans cheered violently.

They were extremely excited. In less than 20 minutes, they got a goal back, greatly increasing their hopes of advancement.

Lucky stopped and looked helplessly at the Arsenal goal.

In fact, a large part of this goal was blamed on Kanter's stopping problem.

However, Kanter also looked annoyed at this time, and he obviously knew what the problem was.

If you blame him now, it will continue to rigidify Kanter's already somewhat unstable heart.

Lucky first pressed his hand towards the sidelines to stabilize Mourinho who was about to explode.

Mourinho stared at Kanter fiercely, and he would not allow such a mistake to occur.

But after seeing Lucky, Mourinho still held back.

Lucky had his own judgment, so he stopped himself.

Mourinho could only return to the bench with a shameful face.

There are few people in the world who can stabilize Mourinho, and Lucky is obviously one of them.

"Hey! Now that it has happened, don't think too much and find a way to make up for it."

Lucky took the initiative to come to Kanter's side to comfort him, and finally knocked on Kanter's shoulder and left.

Kanter nodded frustratedly.

He was still extremely sad about losing the ball.

"Guys, don't pay too much attention to that goal. We still have a one-goal lead. Focus on the game. Our offense is still effective. We must concentrate on the next step and believe in yourselves!"

Lucky kept shouting to attract the attention of the team members.

At the same time, he looked at the Manchester United players who were celebrating. Did these guys celebrate for too long?

If the referee doesn't stop it, he will protest.

The referee quickly stopped it.

The Manchester United players returned to halftime with smiles on their faces. This goal obviously boosted their morale.

"Arsenal lost the ball. We didn't expect it to be in this way. Kante's call to stop the ball was very undeserved, but we need to understand that any player will make mistakes, and as a defensive player, this kind of mistake It’s even more deadly!”

"Kai has been shouting and encouraging his teammates. This is the most important thing for a captain to do. And although Manchester United recovered a goal, they are still one goal behind!"

"The next step is the key. How should Arsenal respond to the high-spirited Manchester United?"

The goal greatly boosted Manchester United's morale and knocked out their self-confidence.

Arsenal's response to this is simple.

winter!

!

Lucky's long shot hit De Gea hard on the palm of his hand. The ball deflected and hit the goal post, bouncing off the baseline.

Lucky stood still, his eyes revealing a fierceness.

Arsenal's response is simple, just go back!

"hiss!

!

!

!

!

"

Andy Gray took a breath, even now he is sweating for Manchester United.

This long-range shot was powerful and heavy, but Vande Gea lost the ball as soon as he was slow to react.

Lucky's attitude also reflects Arsenal's current state very well.

They were not beaten, but became more and more courageous.

This is also true. When Manchester United reorganized their attack, they felt more pressure.

The difficulty of each pass increases and becomes more difficult.

Arsenal's pressing rhythm in the frontcourt has also become fierce and fast.

This forces Manchester United players to remain alert enough. As long as they relax a little bit, Arsenal can immediately launch a threatening attack.

Pogba became more and more frightened as he played.

Are these guys invincible?
