knife guard

Chapter 1067
After Park Ji-sung got the ball, he immediately moved forward quickly, approaching Arsenal's left.

After Giggs tackled the ball, he immediately got up and followed Park Sanfei to respond. Manchester United's attack on Li Huan's side today was just a feint, and they couldn't believe that they could open the gap from Li Huan. Still pinned on Arsenal's left-back Clichy.

Walcott returned to defense immediately after conceding the goal. He was given a certain defensive task today. Wenger believed that the opponent would definitely attack Clichy. In the previous games, Ferguson's team always attacked Clichy. On this side, facing a strong team like Manchester United, it is not enough to rely solely on the defense of the midfielder. The full-back must come back to assist in the defense. Although this will weaken Arsenal's attack power to a certain extent, in the final, Coaches are always on the safe side, keep clean sheets first, and then think about winning, and Wenger is no exception.

Walcott was faster than Giggs, and soon inserted between Park Ji-sung and Giggs, blocking Park Ji-sung's return pass and preventing the two of them from pinching Chrissy.

However, the cunning Korean did not consider passing back, and he quickly moved forward alone to single out Chrissy.

Clichy is not afraid. If he is facing Giggs, he may still be afraid of three points. Although Giggs is old and tall, he is still young. He has scored or assisted in the last four knockout matches. What is Park Ji-sung? , is just a player from a football backward area. Now that Walcott has watched Giggs, will he be afraid of him in a one-on-one match with Park Ji-sung?

Chrissy guards the inside line to prevent Park Ji-sung from breaking through, and at the same time waits for an opportunity to steal.

Park Ji-sung looks like a stubborn stick, but in fact he is very cunning. He dribbles the ball forward but does not force the pass or breakthrough. After the full-back Fabio comes up, he suddenly makes an inward cut and sends the ball to the baseline stuffed it.

Fabio also undertook a big offensive task today. After Park Ji-sung made the steal, he had already inserted it at high speed, but Chrissy's attention was on Park Ji-sung, and he did not find Fabio who was inserted at high speed, etc. It would be too late for him to intercept Fabio after being shaken by Park Ji-sung.

Fabio crossed Fabio like lightning, and passed the ball into Arsenal's penalty area before the ball crossed the baseline.

Before Fabio's assist came up, Arsenal's defense was already in place, but the pass from the bottom line is very difficult to defend. If you are not careful, it may cause an own goal. After Fabio passed the ball in, Arsenal's penalty area There was still a bit of confusion.Those who run, grab points, clear siege, you push and pull, and there is a scene of people turning their backs outside the penalty area.

No one grabbed the previous point, and the ball flew across the goal.

Dangerous!
When the ball arrives in front of the goal, the defender dare not clear the siege, and can only passively block the position to prevent being grabbed by the opponent's forward.

Vermaelen and Koscielny stuck Rooney tightly and prevented Xiaopang from grabbing this point. It was difficult for both of them to deal with Rooney, let alone take care of the players in the back row who came in to grab the point.

Fabianski saw that both Carrick and Valencia rushed into the penalty area, he instinctively felt the danger, and immediately abandoned the goal to attack, trying to punch the ball out, but there were too many people in the penalty area, Fabians After rushing out, Key tripped over his teammate and missed the ball.

When the Arsenal fans saw this scene, their hearts were half cold. Some fans with poor mental endurance didn't even dare to watch it. It was less than 5 minutes into the game. If Manchester United scored now, the next game would be It's hard to beat.

However, just when Carrick was about to grab the landing point and his scalp almost touched the ball, a tall figure flew over obliquely, like a trapeze man, and hit Carrick's head with a huge inertia. body, nearly knocking Carrick into the air, and then Carrick could no longer touch the ball that was only a few centimeters away from him.

"Li Huan!"

There was a huge cheer from the stands, with excitement and surprise in the voice. It turned out that Li Huan knocked Carrick into the air and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.Because Li Huan is a full-back, he should be in the back position, but now he almost ran to the center of the penalty area, which surprised the fans.

"Oh! Oh! Li Huan! At the moment of crisis, Li Huan showed a good defensive awareness. He rushed from the back point to the center of the penalty area to intercept Carrick's header and defuse Manchester United's fast break. Let Arsenal dodged a bullet, let's applaud him, cheer him on!"

"Aww! Li Huan! Li Huan knocked Carrick into the air! Although Li Huan shocked the world because of his powerful attack power, his defense is not weaker than his offense at all. If you make a collection of Li Huan's clearance and defense, Certainly not worse than his goal highlights...."

"A great defender can always appear in the most dangerous place! A great defender will always disappoint the opponent! After Li Huan opened the game, he showed his unparalleled defensive skills. Whether in the frontcourt or the backcourt, as long as Li Huan is there, Arsenal fans will be able to watch the game with their hearts in their stomachs..."

In the news media broadcasting area, commentators from all over the world praised Li Huan in various languages. Li Huan not only saved Arsenal from the siege, but mainly prevented Arsenal from falling into passive tactically.According to statistics, the team that concedes the first goal in the final often loses the final championship.

This attack is just a microcosm of Manchester United's opening onslaught. Manchester United did not play the game today with a defensive attitude. It's not that they can't lose face to defend, but the previous games have proved that it is useless to defend. Ferguson can only change The strategy is to use offense instead of defense, and mainly use offense to suppress Li Huan. Mingxiu plans to cover Chencang secretly. In fact, he wants to open the gap from the left and win the most important Champions League final.

Arsenal's high pressure on Manchester United was a bit unexpected, but the two sides are also old rivals. Even if there were some surprises, Arsenal did not panic. They retracted their formation very skillfully and tried their best to play in the backcourt. When Manchester United pressed too hard, they did not deliberately pass short passes, and often drove forward with a big foot to gain breathing space for themselves.

Manchester United's attack was aggressive at the beginning, but how could the storm be sustained? After 15 minutes, Manchester United still failed to score a goal, and the momentum weakened. The pressing was not as fierce as before, and the range of forward pressure became smaller and smaller. .

Wenger stood on the sidelines and looked at Ferguson with a calm face, and said to the assistant coach Rice beside him: "It's almost there, Manchester United's physical strength can't support such a fast pace."

"That's right, Ferguson's three axes didn't take effect, it's up to us."

Rice stood on the sidelines and began to shout loudly, asking the players to push the formation forward to prevent Manchester United from having a chance to breathe. It is not so easy to run after the game.

Under the command of the coach, Arsenal suddenly accelerated the rhythm of the attack, dragging Manchester United, who wanted to suspend the rhythm of the game and take a breather before attacking, into the fast-paced game again.

In previous games, Li Huan always acted as an assisting full-back, always going near the center line to put pressure on the opponent, but today's situation is a bit special. Always pointing to Li Huan's path, whether it is a long pass to counterattack or a short pass to penetrate, they all start from Arsenal's right. Li Huan did not dare to press forward easily when he saw this situation. However, it was impossible to run past the ball, so Li Huan still cautiously stayed in his defense zone and did not attack to the front line with his teammates.

It was not as sharp as Li Huan's attack, but not as overwhelming as before. Neither Arshavin, Walcott, nor Van Persie could directly break through Manchester United's defense.Most of the shots are scratchy, and they can't even make the old goalkeeper Van der Sar excited.

After Arsenal's onslaught for 10 minutes, their physical strength and spirit were a little weak. No matter how good their physical strength was, they couldn't support the continuous high-speed operation. Even if their physical strength could support it, their spirits couldn't. .To prepare for the more brutal game later.

Arsenal retreated to rest, but Manchester United disagreed. Although their physical strength had not fully recovered, they immediately resorted to the tactic of pressing and encircling. They also did not want to give Arsenal a chance to breathe. If they did not have physical strength, everyone would lose it. Hand-to-hand combat is also a way to solve the problem.

Both sides don't want their opponents to rest, but they want to rest themselves. Facing a smart and powerful opponent, this is obviously difficult to achieve. With the seesaw-like offense of both sides, after 10 minutes, the match between Arsenal and Manchester United will be irrelevant. The players had no energy, even the referee Kasai, who was running around with them, was so tired that he was about to cramp.

Physical fitness is the foundation of all skills and tactics. Without physical fitness, even the best players can't beat an amateur player. Seeing that their physical fitness is going to be exhausted, Arsenal and Manchester United chose to retreat almost at the same time. There was a very brief lull, with both Arsenal and Manchester United players in their own half, with no players even in the opposing half apart from the forwards.

"The two teams are tired, very tired, their physical fitness can't even support them to complete the most basic running tactics, so there is such a strange scene on the court. Because, but I believe there will definitely be some changes in the second half..."

The commentator just said this, and there was a sudden change on the pitch. In the slow rhythm of the game, a figure rushed from Arsenal's backcourt to Manchester United's halfcourt as fast as lightning, because everyone else was moving slowly. Because of this, his speed is extremely fast, just like Olympic sprinting.

"Ah! Li Huan! Li Huan launched a counterattack, and Li Huan, who suppressed most of the pitch, finally launched a quick counterattack! It's the halfway line! Li Huan has reached the halfway line! Manchester United mobilized troops to the left! But no one can stop Li Huan, Li Huan again Breaking to the left! He has reached the left side of the penalty area, and there is only defender Evra in front of him..."
