Chapter 286 Feel like sitting on pins and needles!
Although conceding the ball so early annoyed Wenger, on the surface, Professor Wenger was relatively calm. He didn't want to make his players nervous. Conceding a goal in two rounds, especially in the away game first, is acceptable. Yes, if the score is still the same at the end of the game, it will definitely be a good start for Arsenal.
But the problem is that Wenger must allow the team to withstand the opponent's offense for the rest of the time. From the start of the game, Wenger saw a Manchester United team that was not the same as the previous few games. If the previous Manchester United team paid more attention to the balance of offense and defense, then the Red Devils in front of him are obviously more aggressive.
Before the game restarted, Wenger came to the sidelines and called Captain Cesc Fabregas, "We can't do this, we must increase our counterattacks, otherwise, we will bear too much offensive pressure, you know what to do, right?" ?”
"Yes sir, I know." Fabregas nodded to show that he knew what to do.
"Well, pay attention to the contact with Walcott and Nasri, we must play a role in the counterattack." Although Fabregas had already nodded and said that he knew what to do, Wenger still expressed his thoughts come out.
After Manchester United's celebration ended, the game restarted. Arsenal did not immediately launch a counterattack. What they needed was to maintain a solid line of defense, rather than causing their opponents to easily counterattack because of their eagerness to counterattack. This season, many teams have Manchester United suffered a big loss in front of this move.
After a while, Nicole found that Arsenal did not launch a counterattack immediately, 'If that's the case, then I will fulfill you! '
Thinking of this, Nicole yelled at his teammates, "Guys, work."
Arsenal can't hide, Manchester United don't have time to spend with them, taking advantage of the home court, scoring as many goals as possible is the established goal of Manchester United in this game, after the goal just now, Manchester United's recovery is to find a counterattack The opportunity seems to have been seen through by the opponent, so Manchester United is not polite.
Manchester United strengthened their attacking efforts, and Arsenal did not show any weakness. They focused more on defense, especially Cesc Fabregas was almost inseparable from Nicole. Some clues were found in the subtleties, so Arsenal did not forget to fight back.
Through observation, Nichol also found that no matter how fierce Manchester United's offense is and how dangerous Arsenal's front goal is, Arsenal always retains three players in the frontcourt, Nasri, Walcott, and Adebayor.
Therefore, while enjoying Cesc Fabregas' close defense, he also strengthened his attention to Fabregas. At the same time, he also reminded Fletcher and Anderson to pay attention to several opponents.
As a result, Arsenal's counterattack route was firmly choked by Manchester United, and Manchester United's continuous offensive momentum gradually formed on the field, but Arsenal's counterattack was always unable to come out.
Wenger couldn't sit still anymore, he paced back and forth anxiously on the sidelines, thinking about countermeasures, but for a while, he really couldn't do anything about Manchester United's safe tactics.
Walcott is very depressed now. In terms of personal ability, he has outstanding skills, outstanding personal speed, and strong individual combat ability. He is the arrow of Arsenal's counterattack today, while Nasri relies on superb dribbling skills Cover and respond for him, and Adebayor is even simpler. He is completely on the court to attract firepower for them.
However, today their combination encountered a big problem, that is, they were useless at all, Manchester United completely controlled the situation, their teammates couldn't pass the ball where they needed it, and at the same time, the opponent always maintained sufficient defense watching them.
However, Manchester United's offense was one wave after another. If it weren't for the blocking of Arsenal's players, or if it wasn't for Almunia's superb performance today, the score would definitely not be the current 1:0.
In the 34th minute of the game, Nicole passed a good ball in the middle. Rooney turned around after receiving the ball and was tripped by Toure. The referee decisively whistled a free kick and showed Toure a card. yellow card.
Wenger is very nervous, this position is very dangerous!
Manchester United fans are extremely excited, which is within the range of Nickel.
"Nicole, get the damn ball in."
"Nicole, you are the king of free kicks, you can do it."
"We're going to score!"
Most of the Arsenal fans prayed nervously for their team, and some timid female fans tightly covered their faces. They no longer had the courage to watch. Although Arsenal's performance today was very tenacious, but from the scene There is little hope.
The guests from London were very upset.
Almunia nervously set up the human wall. His outstretched fingers showed that he needed six teammates to build the human wall. This is already the limit. After all, other Manchester United players also need to be on guard. This time, Adebayor and others People must come back.
Nicole repeatedly placed the ball on the penalty spot, and finally picked it up again, and carefully stepped on the grass with his feet. Obviously, Nicole thought it was not flat.
"It seems that Arsenal's players are very nervous. Nicole's free kick will put Arsenal's defense to a severe test, especially Almunia, who played bravely today."
"This is a chance for Manchester United. If Nicole can send the ball into the gate guarded by Almunia, it will not only have a great impact on today's game, but even have a profound significance on the second round."
'Di! '
Nicole looked up at the other side's door again.
Ferdinand, Vidic and other Manchester United guys with excellent headers began to stir up the opponent's defense and draw the opponent's attention.
Platini also picked up the binoculars beside him. Obviously, he was very interested in this free kick. He picked up the binoculars just to see more clearly.
Start, run-up, body lean, left arm raised, left ankle twisted, right leg swung, pumped to the bottom of the football.
The ball is flying!
The eyes of the fans were fixed on its landing point.
Almunia had been prepared for a long time, and when the wall jumped and fell, the goalkeeper flew up, stretched out his right arm hard, and kept his eyes on the direction of the ball.
The ball was about to be touched, and Almunia was overjoyed.
However, the football had an eerie touchline just as Almunia's arm was about to touch the ball, its arc appearing to grow wider as it approached the goal.
"Bah!"
"Bah!"
Two consecutive bangs sounded so harsh in the quiet stadium.
Nicole's free kick was powerful, the football went around the wall, escaped Almunia's block, and bounced off the post.
However, what was quite dramatic was that after the football rebounded, it just hit Almunia's head, hit the post again and rebounded, this time, it was Gibbs, who alertly kicked the ball far into the stands.
"Ooh!" There was a loud sigh at Old Trafford.
Nickel, holding his head too, could hardly believe how bad his luck was, hitting the uprights twice.
Almunia hugged Gibbs tightly, obviously he was very grateful to Gibbs for the rescue.
"My God! This is the most tense and legendary free kick I have ever seen. Although this goal is not scored, it is destined to become a classic."
"We saw Coach Wenger put his hand over his heart, obviously, he was worried, yes, Mr Wenger hasn't returned to his seat since United took the lead."
Indeed, Wenger really can't sit still. Arsenal's front door can be described as a life of danger. Wenger must be very grateful to God for his favor now. Even Wenger can only use God to explain it now.
"Damn it..." Ferguson couldn't help cursing softly when he saw the team repeatedly losing good chances to score goals, but there was no way to blame the players, they had done enough, Mr. Ferguson It can only be attributed to luck.
Although the goal was missed, the fighting spirit of the Manchester United team, especially Nickle, was also aroused here. He really did not believe in evil, and Arsenal's goalkeeper was continuously tested.
Rooney's goal-grabbing shot.
Nani's volley.
Anderson's rush to the top, and Nickle's cold shot.
All without exception were saved by Almunia with crazy performances.
"Wow... amazing Almunia! If it weren't for Nani's goal, he would have dominated the game. Great! Almunia is conquering the world with his magic."
