Chapter 743： insurmountable gap

Chapter 743 The Insurmountable Gap

Ibrahimovic looked at Le Kai's back with a hint of envy in his eyes.

For any old player, they are most envious of the physical fitness of young players.

That kind of powerful explosive power and jumping ability.

These are gaps that cannot be smoothed out through hard work skills, that is, gaps that cannot be bridged. This is the capital of youth.

The former Ibrahimovic can also play such football.

But now he rarely does this.

Although he is still the arrogant 'Lu Fengxian' when facing the media, he knows very well that the gap in physical fitness cannot be made up.

For this reason, he put in more efforts to maintain his physical condition and continue his professional life.

But every time I encounter this kind of moment, I can't help but feel a little bit of depression in my heart.

Ibrahimovic shook his head slightly, pushing the messy thoughts out of his mind.

Now is not the time to think about these things, he still needs to focus on the game.

At this time, the time has entered 38 minutes, and there is not much time left before the end of the first half.

The current Manchester United is still in a backward state.

And their opponent Arsenal is maintaining a fiery offensive posture.

Especially when Ibrahimovic was restricted, Manchester United's glimmer of hope was once again snuffed out by Arsenal.

"Don't even give it a chance!"

The Sky Sports commentator shook his head and sighed.

Arsenal's way of playing is really hopeless.

The handling of details is so rigorous that it is outrageous. Arsenal’s discipline is notoriously good. After adding Mourinho’s emphasis and training, this team often produces jobs similar to machines. model.

Arsenal in the 14-15 season is notoriously good in terms of teamwork.

But compared to this season, it is still a little worse.

If it is said that Arsenal in the 14-15 season is like a precise machine in terms of teamwork.

Then this Arsenal team is based on this, with some more creativity.

The pass creativity in their counterattacks is always eye-catching,

Of course, this may also be the effect caused by Lucky.

After all, Lucky's passing is always like this, which is unpredictable.

Time passed by little by little.

The Arsenal fans at the scene have begun to sing loudly, and they are cheering for the team with their singing.

In this atmosphere, Manchester United played more and more uncomfortable.

Fortunately, there is not much time left before the end of the first half.

Soon, the referee blew the whistle for halftime.

Players from both sides walked off the court and returned to the locker room.

In the dressing room of Manchester United, everyone was arguing.

Pogba is the most indignant among them.

"The passing frequency is too slow, your passing should be more decisive, I'm right there, you can pass it to me!"

Facing Pogba's scolding.

Rashford said angrily; "You can't even hold the ball, Arsenal's forwards have been pressing you, and every time you choose to pass back, the danger is replayed in front of the goal, and the defender has no choice but to open his feet." , and then we lost the ball again!" Rashford pointed to the locker room door and said, "Look at how Arsenal's midfielder plays!"

Hearing this, Pogba's face suddenly turned purple.

This is the expression of blushing under shame and anger, but due to the dark skin, it shows purple.

Pogba glared at Rashford angrily.

The latter did not back down at all.

At this time, Solskjaer walked in.

"Everybody shut up!"

The appearance of Solskjaer calmed down the tense atmosphere a little.

But Pogba and Rashford still carry all the anger.

Solskjaer looked around, and he could feel the extremely bad atmosphere in the team at this time.

The mentality of these Manchester United boys is already on the verge of collapse.

"First of all, you have to remember that Arsenal played very well in this game. This is something we need to admit, and we have clearly understood this before the game. If we want to beat Arsenal like this, There is only one way, and that is to play better than them!"

Solskjaer looked at the crowd and encouraged; "Guys, you are all excellent players. I know this better than anyone else."

"Facing the pressure from Arsenal, what you need to do is not to play according to their plan, but to find yourself!"

"We played very well before, why not now? Because you were taken away by Arsenal's rhythm, in retrospect, how you played before, this will be the key!"

After all, Solskjaer began to arrange tactics.

After some chicken soup encouragement from Solskjaer, the mood of Manchester United players has also stabilized a little bit.

On the other side, in Arsenal's locker room, Mourinho is also arranging tactics for the second half.

There were no surprises, and the second half was on the defensive overall.

This is also Mourinho's style. After gaining the lead, he will never take the risk of trying to score the second goal, but keep the point with a solid defense.

After talking about tactics, Mourinho specifically reminded:

"One last thing to pay attention to, Manchester United must not be given a chance like Ibrahimovic's volley."

"The first point must be fought, and the rest will protect the second point!"

"Okay! That's all, everyone hurry up and rest!"

Lucky walked up to Hummels and Jimenez.

"In the second half, I will assist you in defense. I will be responsible for the top fight, and you will protect the second point."

Hearing Le Kai retreating to defend, the expressions of the two became more stable.

They have great trust in Lucky's ability.

In terms of competition for the top, Lucky is also one of the best teams.

Soon, the second half began.

Players from both sides walked out of the player channel and switched sides to fight.

"Arsenal led Manchester United by one goal in the first half, did Solskjaer give Manchester United tactical instructions."

After the commentator Paul Mawson finished speaking, the commentator partner Dixon said; "I don't think this is a tactical problem, but a problem with lineup configuration and players."

"Although we have been teasing Pogba, his ability is still very good, but Pogba wants to play, he needs a specific environment! Can Manchester United provide him with this environment?"

During the game, Carrick took the initiative to approach Pogba.

"I'll protect you, but you have to play!"

Looking at the serious eyes of the other party, Pogba nodded and said: "I promise!"

In fact, he still dare not offend a Manchester United old man like Carrick.

And this guy is almost at the age of retirement, so he still needs the respect he deserves.

Carrick is willing to sacrifice himself to liberate Pogba, which is very good news for him.

At least, he doesn't have to play so aggrieved.

Soon, the second half of the game began.

Manchester United took the lead to kick off.

Pogba just got the ball here, Campbell and Ramsey sprinted to press again.

"Mongrel!"

Pog cursed angrily.

He was really upset.

Won't these two guys get tired?

From the first half to the second half?

Pogba turned to face Ramsey, looked up and saw Carrick in a protective position.

He passed the ball, and when Carrick was in the press, the latter immediately touched the ball and passed the ball back to Pogba.

Carrick is sacrificing himself and creating conditions for Pogba.

After getting rid of Ramsey, Pogba distributed the ball to the wing, but he saw Ramsey sprinting past his eyes, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching.

He wanted to stretch out his feet, trip the other person, and vent his anger.

But Pogba did not make such a stupid move.

With Carrick as a full-time bodyguard, Pogba began to pass and receive the ball smoothly.

Although Arsenal's pressing pressure is very strong, it is impossible for them to only focus on one person.

After Pogba was liberated, he also began to pass the ball forward frequently to test Arsenal's defense.

Suddenly, Pogba flew a long pass straight to the front of Arsenal's penalty area.

He is seducing Arsenal's central defender to run out. Once he fails in the top fight, Ibrahimovic can successfully kill in the penalty area.

Pogba made his calculations loudly.

But he saw that Arsenal's two central defenders had no intention of attacking at all.

In the process of retracing, Le Kai and Ibrahimovic formed a situation of competition for the top.

The ball hit Le Kai's shoulder and flew backwards, and was stopped firmly by Hummels.

Manchester United's tentative attack is over.

Pogba couldn't help grinning.

Although I thought Arsenal would defend, I didn't expect it to be so tight.

It can be said that the existence of Lucky almost blocked Manchester United's ability to pass the ball long.

Unless they can lure Arsenal out.
