After the game started, Manchester United's possession was definitely full of protection, because Arsenal still failed to cut the ball from their half after investing two forwards and a full-back.

The first exchange of ball rights was an attack launched by Manchester United after continuing to control the ball and pulled out Arsenal's lineup.

It was a very fast offensive transition. When Carrick avoided the pressing Liu Feng, who was changing direction to the right to give the ball to Rooney in the middle, the player who had already run to the midfield line rushed out with a swish of ball.

Faced with the players who rushed like a small tank like this, the Gunners midfielder was caught off guard. Gansuo, who was in front of Rooney, even without making effective blocking moves, was knocked away and left behind by the opponent.

"Straighten the speed to launch the attack, Rooney crossed the half and went straight to the Gunners' midfield hinterland."

Fortunately, Ramsey's reaction was fast enough. After Rooney passed Gansuo, he quickly turned around and made up for defense. With a dull sound, he and Rooney came into contact with each other directly. The two of them had a great force in confrontation, and it was difficult to tell the difference for a while.

In this case, Rooney had to choose to pass the ball. He forced Ramsey to block the leg that stretched out from the right and pushed the ball forward. Van Persie, who had recovered it, successfully got the ball.

Then the two players changed positions in a tacit understanding. Van Persie took the ball and responded to the interference of the Gunners' defenders. Rooney rushed forward towards the Gunners' penalty area.

"A quick crossover, Manchester United's attack has reached the last link. Van Persie dribbled the ball and tried to take away Mertesacker, Alba! He killed him~"

Before Manchester United's attack reached the Gunners' penalty area, the Arsenal players were not slow, and Alba's return to defense was fast and timely. When Van Persie was focusing on how to find the direction of the ball and avoid Mertesacker, his interception from the side could be said to be very sudden.

"The ball was cut off with one kick! Manchester United's attack came to an abrupt end."

The ball was cut off, and both sides changed positions on the offense and defense. Then Manchester United showed Arsenal that the bus they had persisted in this season was not casually placing.

Van Persie counterattacked on the spot, Rooneyka killed Alba and posted the ball, and the other players quickly began to recover. In almost the blink of an eye, except for Rooney and Van Persie, the other Red Devils players had returned to their own half.

This made Arsenal's quick counterattack on the spot, which directly became an impossible thing, and both sides had to fall into a tug-of-war again.

Arsenal, which has set up a 442, has been prepared for this long, so the players also seem to be unhurried.

Under the interference of the two players, Alba also successfully sent the ball to Neymar, who was on the left side. The Brazilian player took the ball and took it diagonally, which directly made Manchester United's defensive players on the right half of the team nervous.

If some teams may relax the Gunners' defense on both sides due to Liu Feng's threat, then Manchester United will definitely not, because they have suffered several losses from Neymar, a Brazilian genius, which has directly turned into a background board.

"Nemar did not find a good opportunity to break through. He did not forcefully pass the ball one-on-one with Mata in front of him, and pass it to the middle. Ramsey who inserted it received the ball and passed it with Gansuo. The Gunners controlled the ball control range near the center circle."

The game is still running in such a hurry and slow manner. The direct confrontation between the players of both sides often occurs in the middle. In the subsequent time, the ball rights continue to change with the continuous confrontation between the two sides.

But the wonderful shot was only two, in the 17th minute of the game, Liu Feng volleyed when Giroud received a header from Gansu and sent the ball to him. The ball barely flew out of the baseline against the crossbar, which made De Gea sweat apart.

In the 25th minute of the game, Manchester United seized the opportunity of the Gunners launching a fast defensive counterattack because of their slightly forward formation.

Fletcher cut off the ball under Giroud's feet and gave it to Rooney. Rooney scored one point to the right to Mata. Mata rushed his speed to the extreme on the right, and finally drove the ball out forty-five degrees when Alba came to him and flew to the front of the penalty area.

Van Persie, who had been accelerating from the midfield, jumped to the top and directly hit a header on the penalty area line. Szczesni almost didn't react. When he finally pulled the ball out with his finger, he bumped into the net.

This made the gun fans at Emirates Stadium suppressed by the crazy Manchester United fans. These Red Devils Expeditionary Forces were determined to see their team win Arsenal away in this game.

However, there was obviously not much offensive opportunity for this entanglement between the two sides. When time passed by thirty minutes and forty minutes, the two commentators realized early that it seemed that the coal was out of the ball in the first half.

"Both teams played very conservatively in this game. The purpose of 451 and 442 is to control the game. Moyes and Wenger actually thought about it to a certain extent."

"Haha, that's true. In this case, if you want to score a goal, one side must change, but there shouldn't be any change at the moment when the first half is about to end."

As the two said, when the referee blew the whistle to the end of the first half, the score remained 0-0. The restraint and conservatism of both sides allowed the game to enter the halftime stage with a draw.

"Okay, the first half is over, and the outcome of this showdown will be decided in the second half."

"In the second half, let's see which team will make the first change. I think it's likely Arsenal team, because they are playing at home after all, and judging from their recent games, their enthusiasm for actively changing the game is much greater than that of Manchester United."

“It makes sense.”

...

The two commentators started chatting in the commentary room. On the court, the players of both sides had disappeared into the player channel. Both sides were expressionless and obviously were not very satisfied with the 0-0 ending in the first half.

When all the team members entered the locker room and sat together, the professor gently closed the door of the locker room, his eyes swept over the team members again, and then spoke.

"In the first half, my timidity surprised me."

“…”

The good guy said the ultimate diss as soon as he opened his mouth. There were several team members who took the initiative to chat in the locker room and shut up. Everyone's atmosphere quickly calmed down and looked at the professor.

"You seem to have forgotten that this is the Emirates Stadium, our home."

He pulled over the chair and sat down. The professor mainly attacked the heart during the intermission.
