When Arsenal and Manchester United meet again, we can easily think of the fiery conflict that broke out between the two teams in the second half of the Premier League. The two protagonists met on the field today. Can they restrain their emotions?
When the players from both sides shook hands before the game, when Ozil walked in front of Cui Zhen, Cui Zhen kept his eyes fixed as if he didn't see Ozil, and put down the right hand that was shaking hands.

Regardless of whether or not this is a lack of grace in the eyes of the outside world, Cui Zhen just doesn't want to shake hands with the other party.

A person who once wanted to break his own leg, how can he shake hands with the other party?

I'm never sorry, Cui Zhen can't do it.

Ozil's expression became angry. He felt as if he had been humiliated by Cui Zhen, and he was about to explode immediately, but a burly figure stood in front of him, Pogba!
Ozil had no choice but to give up, and cast a gloomy glance at Cui Zhen after shaking hands.

Ozil is a tough guy, but also a butcher, and he is also the captain of Arsenal!
If you are a person without brains, you can't be the captain, and you can't be the captain if you have no sense of responsibility.

The last conflict with Cui Zhen was not purely malicious, including Cui Zhen's threat in the final period of the game, and the fact that Arsenal could not compete for the championship in the league. Under such circumstances, Ozil himself Knowing that even if he is sent off with a red card, the impact on Arsenal's league trend throughout the season is actually very small.

But today is different!Today is the FA Cup final, if he has a very outrageous move, it may ruin a possible championship trophy for Arsenal!

But he still has the idea of ​​making Cui Zhen uncomfortable during the game, so in the matchup, he will do his best to contain Cui Zhen!

It's just that when the game started, Ozil found that something was wrong.

Cui Zhen went to play on the wing, and the role of the frontcourt organizer was the young Memphis Depay!

The most intuitive threats to Manchester United's central attack are two players, Memphis Depay and Pogba.It is difficult for Ozil, who guards the midfielder in the middle, to get out to help defend the side!
He could only watch Cui Zhen making trouble again and again on the left side.

Arsenal played an asymmetric unilateral flying wing offensive tactic today, and Walcott's absence has a great impact.

Granit Xhaka can play on the left or right as he pleases, but Arsenal always only have one wide player to attack from the wing.

As for the two full-backs, Coquelin and Koscielny, they have the ability to assist, but at this level of competition, if they want to shake Manchester United's defense, their strength is still slightly inferior.

For Manchester United, in this game, Memphis Depay and Pogba echoed before and after the midfield, and then the main attack points were the two wings, and the left side where Cui Zhen was located was the key breakthrough point!

Chamberlain, who was repeatedly trampled by Cui Zhen in the previous confrontation, seemed a little nervous, while Coquelin was frightened by the energetic Cui Zhen on the wing.

In the 21st minute of the game, Memphis Depay split the ball in front of Chamberlain. Cui Zhen stopped the ball on the side and moved towards the baseline. As soon as his body swayed towards the baseline, Coquelin immediately retreated. Unexpectedly, the football did not move at all.

Cui Zhen just made a fake move on the spot, and then walked the ball towards the middle.

Before Chamberlain returned to the defense, Cui Zhen suddenly took a shot! The football made a big arc and flew to the inside of the far post of the goal!
The goalkeeper Petr Cech was well prepared, calmly moved to the point behind the goal, and then took off to control the ball with both hands.

"Cui Zhen's wonderful escape from the wing, but unfortunately his shot power is a bit light, and he pays too much attention to the angle of the arc. This gave the goalkeeper Petr Cech enough time to resolve this dangerous situation!"

Two minutes later, Granit Xhaka cut into the penalty area after hitting the wall with striker Sanchez on the left. He tested Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea with a decisive shot.

"Brilliant save from De Gea! He keeps Granit Xhaka's shot out!"

If there is anything Arsenal has gained this season, it is that Wenger has begun to have a clear idea of ​​​​how to transform Granit Xhaka, focusing on the inside winger!

The most flexible point on Arsenal's offensive line is Granit Xhaka, but in terms of space utilization, Arsenal lost the effective tearing of the opponent's horizontal defensive width when the two wings flew together from the front.

This made Manchester United more and more handy after successfully defending three times!The most unfavorable thing for Arsenal in this game may not be Walcott's absence, but that there are too many hidden dangers on the back line!
I still remember that when Bellerin was in the lineup, Fellaini could only kneel down to Bellerin on the left. Now?

Coquelin is not Cui Zhen's opponent at all. If Cui Zhen is a pure wide player, then it will be fine.

But Cui Zhen is not. His cross-cutting long-range shot is a huge threat, and it is difficult for Chamberlain to help Coquelin defend. It is difficult to freeze Cui Zhen.

In addition, the other three defenders, Mustafi, Kieran Gibbs and Koscielny, are not very stable. As a result, Arsenal's midfielders must increase the protection of the defense line, and they cannot attack the offensive end. Provide more support.

They could only invest four players in the offense, while Manchester United blocked Arsenal's offense with at least six defensive lines. In the tug-of-war, Manchester United's defense began to establish an advantage, allowing Arsenal to return without success.

In the 29th minute of the game, Cui Zhen was on the left in front of the penalty area, and suddenly used his right foot to make an outswing arc pass!

The football went from behind defender Mustafi to the rear of the penalty area, and Mkhitaryan cut into the penalty area with a header!

It's a pity that he is too upright,
Three minutes later, Cui Zhen repeated his old trick, and once again used his right foot to rub the outer arc around the back of Arsenal's back line to make a cross.

Defender Mustafi had been prepared for a long time. When Cui Zhen passed the ball, he turned around directly, and combined with the trajectory of the football, he wanted to clear the siege with a header.But the speed of the ball was too fast, and Mustafi was shocked to find that he headed the ball towards his own gate!
When the football brushed against the goal post and flew out of the baseline, defender Mustafi broke out in a cold sweat!
Arsenal began to pay more attention to blocking Cui Zhen's left side.But this is exactly what Cui Zhen wants to see.

In the 36th minute of the game, Cui Zhen dribbled forward from the wing and broke through defender Coquelin from the outside with acceleration. Turn sharply, turn around and regain control of the ball to dribble in the middle.

In front of midfielder Chamberlain, Cui Zhen swayed left and right, pretending to dribble towards the penalty area, and after deceiving Chamberlain's center of gravity, he instead led the ball to the outside.

At this moment, he saw Ozil, and Ozil also saw him. Ozil, with fierce eyes, rushed towards Cui Zhen immediately, and Cui Zhen passed the ball to Cui Zhen just after Ozil ran two steps. He walked behind Ozil, and at the same time, his eyes became more and more radiant, revealing a sense of rebellion and sarcasm!

Ozil saw Memphis Depay when he looked back, and rushed forward to receive Cui Zhen's pass.

In fact, this is the real killer move of Manchester United in this game!Taking Cui Zhen as the side road containment point, causing Arsenal's defensive center of gravity to tilt, and then turned to the center to instigate a fatal blow!
Memphis Depay has arrived in front of the Arsenal penalty area. Defender Kieran Gibbs did not hold back his impulse. He stepped forward to intercept. Memphis Depay decisively shot the ball. Martial ran diagonally. Defender Musta Faye followed like a shadow.

Martial faces the goal sideways, the football rolls behind the right side of his body, Mustafi has already had physical contact with Martial, and he will not give Martial any chance to kick the goal.

But Martial didn't stop the ball at all. When the football rolled behind him, he knocked the ball horizontally with the heel of his right foot!
After Memphis Depay took the ball, he ran to the original position of Mustafi, which was the most obvious space in the penalty area, because Mustafi was taken away by Martial.

At this moment, the football rolled here. Memphis Depay faced the ball and calmly observed the goalkeeper Cech's position, and then pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal!
Goalkeeper Petr Cech was powerless. He just ran back from that side. Unexpectedly, Memphis Depay shot a counter-cut line. Before he adjusted his center of gravity, the ball rolled into the goal.

As if the Arsenal players were hit by a bolt from the blue, some players looked at Cui Zhen one after another. Ozil, Santiago Cazorla, and Chamberlain surrounded him in a tripod force, but he did not move forward in the attack just now. !
Before the game, Wenger reminded him to be careful of Cui Zhen's attacking. This is one of the characteristics of Cui Zhen's offensive tendency to score key goals in many games this season.

But this time, Cui Zhen knew what his mission was!Contain the opponent's defense force!
He did his job well, then his teammates did their job and their goal was born!

"Manchester United scored a goal! The young Dutch teenager Memphis Depay has contributed to the team! Scoring in such an important game will definitely stimulate his growth. Manchester United is really happy. They have the coveted giants of all Europe. Two new stars in midfield!

Cui Zhen's role as a winger is very effective today. He paralyzed Arsenal's right-sided full-back attack, and showed a huge threat in personal possession breakthroughs. This attack was instigated by him from the wing. Neither Lim nor Oxlade-Chamberlain could break the ball at his feet, and Ozil allowed Memphis Depay to run forward in order to defend him, which must be vulnerable when there is only one back line facing United's attack. , Martial's heel like a stroll in the courtyard is wonderful, another, another Manchester United-style goal! "

When Memphis Depay rushed to the sidelines to celebrate after scoring, he didn't know, his expression looked a little distorted, making it almost impossible to tell whether he wanted to laugh or cry!
On the stage of the FA Cup final, he scored the first goal for the team and scored a key goal, which gave him an outlet for the emotions buried in his heart!With this catharsis, he will face his career better in the future.

Cui Zhen came to him, stretched out his hand to hook the back of his head, put his forehead on the teammate whose expression was still twisted like crying and laughing, and shouted at him: "You scored a goal! Either shout it out, or accept it with a smile. Our cheers, or you can be more ruthless! But it should never be the expression now! Memphis, don't think too much, you are now the hero of Manchester United!"

Memphis Depay swung his right fist hard, lowered his head and then raised it with a determined look on his face, showing his fist to the cheering Red Devils fans in the stands, and then walked back to his own half with his teammates.

Wenger watched from the sidelines and shook his head. There are many problems with Arsenal. Apart from the polishing of young players, there are still flaws in their own configuration.

Defender Mustafi lacks a good partner, and Ozil, the iron gate in the defensive midfielder position, is not strong enough. His state has dropped a lot. There is also a lack of assist ability on the full-backs. The goalkeeper also makes Wenger sleepless. ill.

How easy is it to rebuild a giant that can stand at the pinnacle of European football?
