Chapter 0334 Showdown with the Professor
The game started eleven minutes ago, Manchester United led Arsenal 2-0 away, which was something no one expected.
Especially Manchester United's second goal, Ramsey's shot was blocked by Luke Shaw before this goal. The referee did not recognize Manchester United's handball in the penalty area, which made Arsenal players very dissatisfied and a big blow to Arsenal's morale.
Then, after the next game began, the Arsenal players were obviously playing with a bit of emotion.
In Ye Su's eyes, Arsenal players seem to have labels such as "the baby is unhappy" and "the baby has a small emotion", and what his Manchester United has to do now is to add another fire.
Manchester United players who received the tactical instructions issued by Ye Su also faithfully implemented the coach's tactical adjustments.
Manchester United suddenly strengthened their fighting efforts in the midfield and frontcourt, or more precisely, it was almost hand-to-hand combat.
Anyway, when Manchester United players have the advantage in their bodies, they will definitely fight harder and hit more forcefully. When they suffer physical losses, the small movements in their hands will come.
These movements are not bad, and there is no harm, but they are very annoying. For example, when you are starting up, you suddenly pull your jersey in secret, then let go quickly, or when you are fighting for a header, pretend to jump, but don't move, carry you, suddenly remove your strength and throw you away when you are starting up.
What fans saw was that after the fifteenth minute of the game, the intensity of the game suddenly increased, and there were more people on the court, and then there were more quarrels between players on both sides.
In this kind of game atmosphere, Arsenal, which is praised for his skill, failed to make many high-quality attacks in the following period of the first half.
……………………
In the somewhat fragmented rhythm of the game, time soon reached the end of the first half.
After the game was 41 minutes, Valencia brought down Sanchez for the third time, and the Chilean forward got up and rushed towards the Ecuadorian defender.
Rooney rushed up directly and separated the two people. The coach arranged for everyone to stimulate the Arsenal and make the Arsenal angry. In this way, the Arsenal's game state will definitely be affected, the technical movements will deform, become impatient, and they can even make them take the cards.
But this kind of thing is a double-edged sword. When the anger comes, it is uncontrollable. You must also pay attention to controlling your anger.
Everyone knows Valencia's bad temper, so Rooney has been paying attention to this place for a long time, but he must not backfire and let Valencia take the card.
Sanchez was excited. He pushed Rooney away and was about to trouble Valencia. Fortunately, Van Dyke hugged him, otherwise the Ecuadorians would definitely come up and the Chileans would.
At this time, players from both sides gathered quickly, some pushed and shoved, and some were not polite and greeted each other.
The referee's whistle sounded, and he ran over quickly, shouted loudly, made gestures, and separated the players on both sides. Then a yellow card was given to Sanchez, who was emotionally out of control, and first "provocative" him, and then verbally warned Valencia.
This aroused strong dissatisfaction among Arsenal players. Arsenal captain Coschelney raised three fingers, meaning that this was Valencia's third foul, so he should have taken the card. Then referee Kevin Flander used a yellow card to calm the Arsenal captain down.
……………………
In the end, at the end of the first half, the score on the field was temporarily at 2:0, and Manchester United, who played away, led Arsenal 2:0.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the booing over the Emirates Stadium shook the sky.
"The Arsenal must be very angry. The referee's penalty in the first half will definitely not satisfy them. It's been a long time since Arsenal encountered this situation? Kevin Flander's penalty will definitely cause controversy after the game." John Motson said.
"Mar United coach Ye Su's approach is a bit unpredictable. With Manchester United's strength and good condition in this game, they can take advantage of the situation to pursue and establish a victory with two goals! But coach Ye Su chose to take the initiative to slow down at that time and choose to fight with Arsenal. Although this interrupted Arsenal's counterattack, it also gave Arsenal a chance to breathe." Sky Sports's Lyinkel said.
However, regarding Leinkell's doubts, Manchester United legend Ferdinand, who is partnering with him, gave his own interpretation. The former Manchester United central defender said: "If Manchester United pushes out and continues to attack, they may score a goal, and the score becomes 3:0, 1:2, or 2:2. After all, their opponent is Arsenal, playing at the Emirates Stadium. This Gunner, who has stars such as Sanchez and Goldfish Eye, is currently the third-ranked team in the Premier League. What's more, Manchester United is also facing the invasion of the devil's schedule. Ye Su has determined the victory and it is reasonable to choose a relatively conservative tactic."
Ye Su is indeed as Ferdinand thought. Although he has confidence in his team, he will not forget that his opponent in today's game is Arsenal, which is currently the third-ranked Premier League team. It has famous Premier League giants such as Sanchez, Goldfish Eye, Lacazette and Ramsey.
Of course, he can also choose the whole team to retract, but Ye Su rejected this possibility immediately. If it was a game, he would make such a choice, but now it is only the first half of the game, so he can't be so conservative.
The strict and impartial law enforcement of referee Kevin Flander and the emotional excitement of Arsenal players, Ye Su keenly captured this information and made the decision as quickly as possible.
The final effect is also very good. The reduction in the pace of the game has reduced the physical energy consumption of Manchester United players. In December, the season has become very deep, and the players' physical fitness is not in the best state. Premier League teams are about to enter the most intense period of the year.
Especially Manchester United, which is fighting on multiple fronts, faces even greater pressure. They will usher in the fourth-line battles of the Premier League, Champions League, League Cup and Club World Cup in December!
Under such circumstances, saving any little physical fitness of the player may play an extremely critical role in the future.
Maintaining the score of 2:0 until the halftime break is undoubtedly an excellent result.
……………………
The camera captured the face of Arsenal boss Kroenke's face turned pale when the whistle at the end of the first half was blowing, amid the booing of Emirates Stadium.
During the halftime break, the topic that talked the most was naturally Rooney's goal. After all, this was a goal that tied the Premier League's historical scorer list.
With Rooney's competitive state in recent seasons, he will surely leave this record behind soon and keep breaking his own record.
In the locker room at Emirates Stadium, the head coaches of both teams are making tactical arrangements and adjustments.
Wenger's face looked very bad, and he signaled his assistant to hang up the tactical board, and then he began to speak.
"I know many people are very dissatisfied with the law enforcement of the referee in the first half." Wenger said, "I'm also very unhappy, but there is one thing I want to say that the law enforcement issue of the referee is not the reason why we fell behind 0:2 in the first half!"
"We are Arsenal, one of the greatest teams in England's history! The referee's unfair judgment? This is nothing! It's a man. He will fight for the second half and use victory to tell the world that the reason we are great is because nothing can stop us from winning, and even the referee can't do it!"
Wenger was passionate. He had already brewed his words in his mind, and now he was a little moved by the yell.
He glanced at the players and the effect was pretty good. Wenger has been in charge of Arsenal for twenty-one years, and his prestige in the team is extremely strong.
Originally, introverted professors rarely give players blood like they do today, so suddenly this will make the effect very good.
"The coach is right." Arsenal's captain Coscheerney stood up and encouraged his teammates, "Don't think about the accident in the first half. In the second half, we will win back our victory!"
The atmosphere was good. Wenger began to give instructions and adjustments to the tactics of the second half.
"Walk, our wing was completely paralyzed in the first half! Manchester United's wing was very threatening. In this case, only when our own wing was up can we curb the opponent's wing offensive! ACTO, you were suppressed in the first half and the retreat was too strong, and our right was basically paralyzed."
Bellerin couldn't say anything about his pain. Faced with the joint impact of Vardy and Luke Shaw, he was really powerless, but at this moment he could only express his opinion: "Coach, I understand, I will perform well in the second half of the game."
Looking at Bellerin clenching his fists and expressing his opinion, Wenger nodded.
"Mesut." Wenger called out the name of Goldfish Eye again, "You need to speed up!"
On the other side, in the visiting team locker room at Emirates Stadium.
"Jamie, how do you feel when you fought with Bellerin in the first half?" Ye Su named Valdi.
"He was a little nervous," said Valdi. In fact, although Bellerin is the main right-back of Arsenal in recent seasons, he has no lack of game experience. However, he seems a little timid when facing the repeated attacks of Valdi and Luke Shaw.
"Very good, continue to break here in the second half of the game." Ye Su said, "He is afraid when he sees you bring the ball."
"No problem." Vardy said loudly.
After making some arrangements, Ye Su finally said: "Even if Arsenal recovers one goal in the second half, don't panic. Play according to our established deployment. We took the lead 2:0 in this game and we have achieved brilliant results."
