Chapter 1142

Manchester United and Arsenal focus on the final game of the third round.

Before that, the other seven games had just ended, and the top three teams of Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City had all won. The battle between Manchester City and Tottenham had not been over. Manchester City's shocking 5-1 away game washed away Tottenham and won the first three games in a row, which declared to the world that the era of golden football had begun.

Manchester United really feel the pressure from the "noisy neighbours".

This is not the result of Manchester City's three victories in the first three games, but the strength and potential of Manchester City. Manchester United may still have a chance to put Manchester City down this season, but what about next season? What about next season? In the face of Manchester City owners waving money, the only thing United can count on is that their young guards are as strong as class 92.

Manchester United didn't want to play a big game against Arsenal because of the lack of major general and empty defence. However, Manchester City's victory gave Manchester United extra stimulation. They all thought that this game must be played thoroughly and let Manchester City and the other top three understand that the Premier League is Manchester United's world.

Of course, the important reason for Manchester United to have this confidence is not only that Arsenal are short of major general, but that veteran Evra has come back. It is a great good news for Manchester United that there is a veteran in the back line. In this way, they will have no worries when they attack in the front court.

At 4 p.m.

on Sunday, the focus game between Manchester United and Arsenal finally began.

Manchester United have a 442 traditional formation, goalkeeper 1 - de GEA; guard: 12 - Smalling, 4 - Phil Jones, 6 - Evans, 3 - Evra; midfield: 13 - Park Ji Xing, 17 - Nani, 11 - Giggs, 10 - Gao Xiaodong; forward: 7 - Rooney, 14 - Hernandez

arsenna has a 433 attacking formation, goalkeeper 13 - szesny; guard: 25- Jenkinson, 20 joru, 6 koscielny, 30 Traore; midfield: 16 Ramsey, 39 coquillin, 7 Rosicky; forward: 14 Walcott, 10 van Persie, 23 Arshavin

Arsenal kick-off, although they left and injured more than half of the team, they still took the offensive approach, after the return, the players orderly forward pressure, to the United team Three zone penetration.

Manchester United and Manchester United fans, Arsenal and Arsenal fans are not surprised by the attack of Arsenal. Although Arsenal are weak now, their staffing can not play defensive counterattack. Besides, they have never played defensive counterattack. If they want to get a good result at Old Trafford, they must take the risk of attacking instead of defending.

Arsenal had won only one game in 10 previous visits to Old Trafford, and the rest were 9 games, 2 draws and 7 losses. Facing Arsenal, Manchester United have a strong psychological advantage. Although Manchester United are determined to win a big game today, the players are not in a hurry. Gao Xiaodong and Giggs control the rhythm in the midfield, park Zhixing, Rooney and Nani run hard to cut off Arsenal's passing line Road, press for the ball player.

Manchester United play a very targeted game, they encircle the midfield core Rosicky, retreat to contain wingers Walcott and Arshavin, and then let Arsenal's little boys deal with the ball.

Manchester United's move is very poisonous. It just catches the weakness of Arsenal's big turnover and many young players. The old players of Arsenal are watched. The young players are inexperienced and eager to make contributions. After the opening, they make frequent mistakes.

In the third minute of the game, Walcott thought that the ball had been divided by Smalling, but Smalling was tall and long legged, so he put out his foot to touch the ball.

The Walcott man passed, but the ball was touched by Smalling to the replacement centre back Jones.

Jones is more and more confident now. After he grabs the ball, he doesn't give it to Gao Xiaodong and Giggs. Instead, he passes it to Nani and lets Nani attack the space behind Walcott.

At the moment, this choice is not wrong, but a young backup guard, take the initiative to decide the timing and direction of the attack, say good point is self-confidence, bad point is a little expansion.

Nani has a very strong personal breakthrough ability, a full back is difficult to block his attack, Arsenal's midfield Ramsey rushed to the side to help prevent Nani's bottom or cut in.

When Jones launched a counterattack, Gao Xiaodong quickly pushed forward and moved to the side to meet Nani, Rooney and Hernandez. He pushed into the penalty area as fast as he could.

After Ramsey made up for the side, there was a vacancy in the front of Arsenal's penalty area. Gao Xiaodong had been close to the side to support Nani. Seeing that there was a vacancy in the middle, he ran to the vacancy in the front of the penalty area.

Running secretly is the best, but Gao Xiaodong is worried that Nani is burning his head and is blind. He doesn't care to be found by his opponent. While running, he raises his hand to ask Nani for the ball.

"Nani! Nani... "

When Gao Xiaodong raised his hand to ask for the ball, Nani also saw the space left by Ramsey. When he rubbed the arch of his foot, he headed the ball over Ramsey and reached the space.

Nani is a superstar when he doesn't burn his brain. His vision and footwork are excellent. The ball passes very accurately. Gao Xiaodong can volley directly or stop the ball to play.Arsenal centre back koscielny also found the gap, he saw Nani pass, quickly gave up Rooney, rushed to block Gao Xiaodong's shooting line.

Gao Xiaodong is ready to volley, but koscielny's sudden attack makes Gao Xiaodong change his mind, because his shot may be blocked by koscielny.

Gao Xiaodong gave up shooting. He turned sideways, jumped up to stop the ball in his chest, and then picked the ball to Wayne Rooney who was empty.

Rooney is in an unguarded state because Hernandez brings another centre back joru to the small penalty area. Rooney is not offside. As long as Rooney gets the ball, it is a chance to shoot in the penalty area.

Obviously, as a top four team in the Premier League for a long time, the strength of the players is still guaranteed. When Gao Xiaodong passed the ball, Arsenal goalkeeper szeisni made a quick attack and rushed to Rooney's head to fight the ball out.

The ball flew out of the penalty area and Rooney was overwhelmed by szesny.

Rooney lay down in the penalty area and hammered the grass angrily. He hated why he was so short. If he was as tall as Berbatov, he might head the ball before the goalkeeper.

Although Manchester United failed in the counterattack, they were able to cooperate inside and outside the Arsenal penalty area in the first three minutes, and almost formed a shooting opportunity, which was very rare. The Manchester United fans at the scene did not mean to send a warm applause to Manchester United, and chanted Gao Xiaodong's name.

Gary, the commentator at the scene. Neville said: "in fact, Xiaodong can play well without passing the ball. Even if he is blocked by koscielny, it may form refraction. It's a bit complicated to pass it to Rooney."
