Chapter 550 Strange Arsenal

Chapter 1 Thirty Strange Arsenal

On February 28, in the seventh round of No.20 in the league, Manchester United ushered in Arsenal at home.

Before the game started, someone shouted that Arsenal was here for revenge.Arsenal did lose in the last game. They led [-]-[-] early and were overturned by Manchester United. Therefore, Arsenal came here for revenge in this game.

Arsenal under Wenger is so stable that people can almost guess their direction every season.

In the early stage of the league, Arsenal had well-organized personnel, sharp offense, and crushed their opponents to the ground; in the middle of the league, injuries appeared, the offensive firepower weakened, and defensive problems in the midfield and backcourt were exposed; He was blocked, made repeated mistakes in the midfield and backcourt, and barely competed for the top four.

This seems to be the epitome of Arsenal's crownless season.

Although Arsenal have not encountered any injuries so far this season, except for Cazorla, the injured players in their lineup are all marginal people of the team, and the overall will not be affected by injuries. How much weakened.

On the Manchester United side, there are players on the defensive line injured, including Phil Jones who is still in the red card suspension period, Rojo who was injured in training, and some leg muscles after the Champions League game. Cramer.

On the defensive line, Manchester United's injuries are still more serious than their opponents, but the overall impact will not be too great.

In fact, if it weren't for Manchester United being too strong this season, Arsenal's performance this season is still okay. They scored 26 points in 51 league rounds with [-] wins, [-] draws and [-] losses.

Arsenal's stable performance every season is almost like an auxiliary paste, so Arsenal fans seem to have begun to experience aesthetic fatigue.The last time Arsenal won the league title was in the undefeated season 13 years ago. The unbeaten season seems to have used up their luck. Since then, Arsenal have never been able to get their hands on the Premier League trophy. up.

A giant team that has been unable to win the league title for a long time, even Wenger, who has been in charge of Arsenal for nearly 20 years, has begun to find his fans booing at the Emirates Stadium. The slogan "Wenger dismissed get out of class" even began to appear on this stadium that was once extremely loyal to him.

Of course, most Arsenal fans, as well as Arsenal's top executives, still support Wenger's continued stay as Arsenal's head coach.

But for Wenger, he was booed by fans at the Emirates Stadium. Although it was only a very few fans, this incident itself made Wenger vigilant.

Arsenal fans are tired, tired of his coaching style, tired of Arsenal's consistent repeat seasons without touching the title.

Maybe it's time for Arsenal to make some changes.

This famous French coach who is famous for playing offensive football and artistic football, even if he has not won a championship for many years, still insists on his own football style. When facing Manchester United, Wenger is also thinking about countermeasures.

There were boos at Old Trafford.The boo was naturally given to Arsenal.

"Coward!! You attack it!!"

"Coward!!"

Manchester United fans booed Arsenal in the stands, pointing at them in the penalty area.Because from the beginning of the game, Arsenal shrank in their own penalty area and defended it! !
Yes, it was a defensive defense. Arsenal directly retreated to their own defensive third area, allowing Manchester United to bombard the outside.It is really unexpected that this scene appeared in Arsenal, which is famous for playing offensive football, and Wenger, who claims that football is less utilitarian and obsessed with artistic football.

Players including Manchester United and Ancelotti did not expect that Arsenal could do so thoroughly and completely let go of their face.

Who would have thought that Arsenal, the majestic Premier League giants, would choose to shrink into a ball when facing their opponents, just like turning into a tortoise shell in front of their own door, and defending Manchester United's offense in this way, no one would Not quite, Wenger would completely sacrifice offense and defend so thoroughly in the away game.

If it is a mid-lower team, maybe it is understandable to do so, but this is Arsenal! !

Seeing that even a player like Ozil is gambled in the penalty area to be eye-catching, people who have witnessed all this don't know what to say.

Arsenal's defense is indeed quite thorough, and even for defense, the top striker Giroud has returned to the penalty area several times to clear the ball with a header.Arsenal completely put on a posture of giving up the attack.

"Is Wenger possessed by Mourinho?"

"Could it be that Arsenal has quietly changed the head coach, and this game will only be played by Mourinho who is at home?"

"Even Wenger let go of the main force of ideals? Perhaps today we have seen the death of an idealist."

"Can you keep a point with such a tenacious defense? I really doubt it. After all, Manchester United has the most powerful offensive weapon!"

The commentators were criticizing Wenger's tactics one after another, and the boos from the stands never stopped.But when the TV broadcast showed Wenger close-up, the French old man still stood stubbornly on the sidelines, looking at the field with sharp eyes, as if his team had the upper hand at the moment.

Although everyone is criticizing Wenger and accusing him of his tactical choice, his tactic works very well.

Because even Manchester United did not expect Arsenal to defend so thoroughly.Therefore, they seemed a bit underprepared to face Arsenal's defense, lacking sufficient psychological preparation for a tough battle, and they were very worried about Arsenal's counterattack at one time, so they didn't dare to really press the whole line, keeping one hand to defend against Arsenal's counterattack.

How could Arsenal really be determined to defend to the death today! !

The camera was given to Wenger again, and it was already No. 308 minutes in the first half of the game.

"Does Wenger really want to defend like this for the whole game? Although it seems that Arsenal's defense is still solid and there is no chance for Manchester United, but there is still a second half of this game. Manchester United only needs to score one goal. All the work that Arsenal have done so far can be wiped out."

Manchester United's offensive is getting more and more violent.They also discovered that Arsenal really defended with all their heart, and they didn't even care about offense! !
Wenger also became a little nervous at the moment. Several times, he thought that his team was about to be scored.

But Arsenal's defense in the first half was quite good, and luck was on their side.

When the first half of the game ended, the two sides entered the intermission with a score of zero to zero.

Players from both sides walked into the player tunnel with sullen heads. Wenger also turned blankly and walked back to the visiting team's dressing room.

Ancelotti looked at Wenger's back in a strange way. Could it be that the opponent really wanted to rely on defense to score a point?
