The Premier League arsenal, the king of thermos cups

Chapter 213 It Has to Be You, De Gea

(Manchester United's right-back is Valencia. The last chapter was written as Luke Shaw, which has been changed.)
On offense in the first half, they all played their own styles.

Under the circumstances of each threat, Manchester United played calmly and scored a goal behind.

Overall, Manchester United played well today without Di Maria.

Zhou Yang originally thought about the opponent's style of play today, how much penetration would be able to play something, but who knew that after Ashley Yang made a pass from the left and destroyed it, Smalling put in the corner kick.

The score came to 1-1.

I have to admit that Manchester United is still very good at high-altitude balls in the penalty area. Manchester United played out the offensive rhythm today, and it is not surprising that they can score goals at home.

Zhou Yang's ball was also next to Fellaini, but the opponent had many high-altitude points, and the opportunity to attack was played, and he scored in this corner kick.

There is not much difference in the data of the two sides.

But the accuracy rate, they will be more.

Then near the end, Zhou Yang dribbled the ball and ushered in a wave of offense. After passing Bellerin, Bellerin watched Welbeck rush into the penalty area, and also made a pass with the ball from the side!

Welbeck turned on his horsepower and rushed forward.

When the top was crooked, the ball was lifted out with his feet!

The ball fell in an arc, Zhou Yang came up with a tight arch of his right foot, and kicked the far corner of the upper left corner!
De Gea shot past him, opened his palm with one hand, and threw him to the side of the penalty area, and finally saved the day!
It has to be you De Gea!
Zhou Yang said this in his mind when he left.

Zhou Yang feels that De Gea's mentality in Manchester United is more than too many goalkeepers. In terms of performance, he is almost the first tier in the Premier League. At present, Chelsea's Petr Cech is comparable. To a certain extent, the defensive role of Manchester United defenders is all It is because of De Gea that it seems to be effective.

He himself slammed two goals in the first half, and De Gea made a timely save.

In the end, halftime ended and the two sides temporarily ended 1-1.

"Almost." Welbeck came over and lifted his uniform with a sigh.

"We should work harder." Zhou Yang went over to give everyone a high-five, "And Welbeck, you scored again today, you are really talented."

"For a while, I didn't know if you were praising me."

The others followed suit and laughed twice.

On the way back to the locker room, everyone was emotionally normal, but a tie is definitely not what everyone wants to see.

A tie is 1 point, Manchester United can, they can't.

Zhou Yang feels that in today's game, they will not lose to Manchester United in terms of the overall situation. They have gained momentum and scored, but Manchester United did not play badly. It's just that in contrast, the opposing midfielder can adjust to him and Kirkland. There are not many opportunities, and the offense they play is far less threatening than them.

However, Manchester United's side play and the tactical system are very targeted. Fellaini alone is very threatening, and can still create a crisis under the premise of maintaining a normal offense.

So the second half is equally careless.

They have the motivation to compete for the championship, and Manchester United also has the idea of ​​​​contesting for 4.

Both sides can only say that neither can lose, nor are they willing to lose.

The difference is that Manchester United may accept 1 point, but they are not allowed to accept 1 point.

Relying on Chelsea to lose the chain, it is unrealistic to let Chelsea and the others tie themselves...

In this game, if Manchester United loses and Liverpool wins, then Manchester United will be 1 point less than Liverpool and fall into fifth place.

Zhou Yang felt that the biggest breakthrough in today's game had to be Manchester United's defense.

They have an advantage in midfield, and they have to make good use of it.

Soon, 15 minutes is over.

Zhou Yang returned to Old Trafford.

The second half started again.

They are all teams that want to compete for points, and there is not much Tai Chi.

If you have a chance, you want to get the ball in to create a threat. This is what both teams need to do.

The difference is that Zhou Yang feels that Manchester United seems to be starting to stop playing.

The frequency of passing back was a bit more, the transfer of the midfield and the backcourt, and the slow pace with Herrera and Mata as the axis appeared more than in the first half.

Manchester United's adjustment in the second half may be to play a defensive counterattack to attract them to come forward.

This is indeed the case.

Van Gaal understands that Arsenal need 3 points and are eager to attack, but they are different, Manchester United can also do 1 point.

Compressing the defensive line and defending 1 point is also good for Manchester United's fight for 4.

The goal difference advantage is much greater than that of Liverpool. Even if Liverpool wins this round by 3 points, Manchester United will also have the initiative in the next game. Besides, defensive counterattack is also a necessary measure. If they play against the current Arsenal, the midfielder will not be able to fight. , The defense line is really gone when there is a moth. Van Gaal has been in charge for so many years, if he can't see the prerequisite for Arsenal to win Real Madrid, then there is no need to take the coach.

It may not be an overall midfield advantage for Arsenal to win Real Madrid, but Zhou Yang's grasp of the timing of playing cooperatively and alone is completely the only one in Europe. Playing midfield with Cazorla is stable and fast , the midfield advance, Van Gaal didn't want to let Arsenal pull the brakes, he just wanted to kill Cazorla and Zhou Yang's midfield advance, it is far better to play the offense, not to mention that Arsenal must attack fiercely, and in the first half The equalizer was enough for him to make adjustments in the second half.

Mata and Herrera are also suitable for back and forth support.

The game came to the 50-minute point.

Zhou Yang followed up with the ball as usual. He was just about to pull the ball with his left and right feet to make a ball. He just passed by Herrera’s right hand side. Herrera also turned around and stuck to his body. The body is close to the ball and ready to make an action.

But the next moment, Aire stretched his foot and came between his legs, tripped him, and staggered, unable to keep up with the ball.

The referee blew his whistle.

During the game, Zhou Yang felt that Herrera still gave him a certain level of defense.

Set the ball.

Zhou Yang sent it to Cazorla, and when the formation was stretched, Cazorla dribbled the ball forward.

Van Persie and Rooney were very close, and Cazorla pushed his right foot directly to Monreal on the left.

The two hit the wall and came back, and Cazorla led the ball again and knocked it in to Sanchez on the left front.

Sanchez stops the ball with his back to the sideline.

At this time Rooney and Van Persie have become the background board for hitting the wall.

Mata closes quickly.

With his back to the sideline, Sanchez protected the ball and moved his right foot to the side, which seemed to be heading towards his own direction.

However, while Cazorla pushed forward, Sanchez quickly pushed over.

Cazorla pulled away to the right and took the ball lightly. At the same time, Zhou Yang slammed forward behind Fellaini.

Cazorla has quick eyes and quick feet, and he passed the ball low and flat with his left foot.

The moment Zhou Yang landed with his left foot and stretched out his right foot to stop the ball, he hit the ball to the front left. When Herrera and Fellaini formed a pincer attack behind him, his left foot also slammed to the side!
This inward cut is also to take advantage of the trend to open the angle.

For a player like Herrera, the defense is stable, but not unexpected. Zhou Yang's left foot kicked the ball, and Welbeck reacted quickly and went forward again.

A violent midfield penetration, almost to the extreme.

In the eyes of many people, it is not surprising that such a style of play appeared on Arsenal.

When Herrera sensed the movement of the formation behind him, he quickly followed up to prevent Zhou Yang from passing the ball to Welbeck, which was very predictable.

Mata and Rooney also followed up with Cazorla to supplement the defense.

The front of Zhou Yang's left foot was close to the outer instep, and he slammed it hard again!
Hit Valencia behind.

Sanchez ran diagonally to keep up.

In fact, every time Zhou Yang holds the ball, there are many people running, whether it is Welbeck, Cazorla or Sanchez, but Zhou Yang knows very well that in the way of giving the ball, what needs to be grasped is the timing. That's it. Today, Manchester United's midfield has highlighted a sense of offensive oppression. It can be said that there are fewer passes back, but it does not mean that Manchester United's midfielder is capable of defending against him and Cazorla.

In Zhou Yang's view, it was just Herrera.

Sanchez got the ball, and followed with a flick of his right foot to bypass Valencia who was turning around. The moment Mata pressed over, Sanchez pushed forward again with the front of his right foot. Valencia could only turn around and follow up on the left of Sanchez. Mata is on the right of Sanchez. At this time, Sanchez may form a figure-of-eight attack.

The moment Sanchez pressed up on Mata, the outer instep of his right foot quickly slammed back to Cazorla at the arc.

Herrera converted, but it was a pity that Cazorla did not make any adjustments, calmly controlled the balance, touched his left foot lightly, and then gave it to Sanchez!
Hit Mata behind and enter the penalty area!
This period of time can only be described in one sentence.

Played very Arsenal.

However, the ball was handled quickly enough. Sanchez rubbed his right foot in the penalty area, and when central defender Smalling followed, he had already rubbed the ball.

Welbeck and other central defender Jones and Roho Qiqi followed up!

The ball hung towards the upper right.

The angle of De Gea's ball station is too close to the left side, and he flies forward!

The ball is like an air-to-air missile, winding in and hanging straight to the upper right!

Bang!
Jumped out! ! !

De Gea's figure reacted quickly, stretched his body, and shot out with one hand abruptly! !

Then quickly stood up from the ground!

corner kick!

The reaction is really fast enough!
Seeing that the door was not entered, Zhou Yang also slapped his thigh.

It can be said that today's penetration in the middle is almost hanging on to Manchester United. It seems to be familiar with the game, but it is also the gap between the two sides in the midfield. Once Manchester United's defense fails to handle the ball well, the danger is always there.

The Manchester United defender's wing play is good, but he also needs the midfielder to assist in the defense. So far, Zhou Yang has not seen what Fellaini, Rooney, and Mata can defend against him. The only one is Ere Pull can give something practical.

Manchester United used offense to put pressure in the first half.

Speaking of which, this time is also different from the FA Cup. Last time, he and Ramsey partnered with a double midfielder. This time, he and Kirkland played a double midfielder, and Ramsey can only lean to the right. , It’s not good or bad. Before the FA Cup, they played well on the wing. Monreal scored and Chamberlain made a push from the right. But this time, Zhou Yang chose to catch the hammer in the middle.

However, last time Manchester United's overall mentality had a little problem starting from Di Maria, and De Gea couldn't save it, but this time it didn't.

The competition between the two sides has entered a new situation.
