Jagged Wings

Chapter 74 Than What?Than patience?

It stands to reason that Ferguson's strategy kills two birds with one stone, which is really perfect.

But Ferguson didn't expect one thing - this Reyes is the "time-travel version" of Reyes.

How could a traveler who was tired of seeing your war of words in the previous life fail to see through your little trick?

Of course, Reyes also saw that Ferguson's war of words was different this time. This time he did not accuse and belittle the opponent, but praised the opponent.

This is intriguing!
It stands to reason that Henry is the most powerful and threatening person in Arsenal's formation today.But Ferguson pointed the finger at Reyes. What does that mean?

It means that Ferguson is afraid of Reyes!

Thinking of this, Reyes suddenly felt a little happy: Does Ferguson know?Awesome, right?But now I can make him afraid of me!
Reyes thought about it, decided to use his tricks, and pretended to be in Ferguson's psychological warfare during the game to trick him.

Of course, you must find an "alliance" in advance.

Reyes first found Wenger to explain his ideas and got Wenger's consent.

But Wenger asked him to get serious as soon as he found out what the consequences were.

In this way, the news media on the second day reported that Reyes was very happy to be appreciated by Ferguson. In the news, he also respected Ferguson. He believed that Ferguson is the most capable protagonist in English football Coach, none of them.

Although Manchester United is currently ranked third, he is very confident in this team.

"I think Manchester United will become our worst enemy!" In one sentence, Chelsea, who are number one in the league, were ignored.

Seeing this report, Ferguson thought that their strategy had worked. Reyes was so flattered by his praise that he forgot what his surname was.

At the same time, the discussion between Reyes and Wenger is just a "pass".To make this thing realistic and strong enough, other people's participation is indispensable.

He picked the cheerful left-back Ashley Cole to help him, and the rest of the players were kept in the dark.

Obviously, the less people know about such things, the better.

In this way, both sides thought carefully about the game.

At the beginning of the game, Ronaldo used a sharp breakthrough from the side to create a murderous intention. Ashley Cole slipped and lost the marking of Ronaldo. Ronaldo dribbled the ball inside and completed a high-quality shot.But Lehmann focused and slapped the ball out of the baseline with both hands.

Lehmann, who was still in shock, yelled at the England left back, "Ashley, defend!" "Ashley, pay attention!"

Ashley Cole waved to Lehman again and again, indicating that it was his fault.

Turning around, he snapped at Reyes out of the corner of his eye: How long are we going to wait.

Reyes just pressed his hands down in a very hidden way: Don't worry, don't worry.

But Ashley Cole is also a well-known player, and he is also an England international defender, and he is not very weak defensively.When he was concentrating on defense, half releasing water and half being serious, although Ronaldo had "excellent performance", he did not really create many threats.

On the other hand, judging from the first half of the game, Reyes' performance was very flat, without any breakthrough performance

The only chance to appear in the camera was a pass from the side that passed directly to the bottom line, and the arc and height were ridiculously poor.Judging from the activity of the previous games, there is a clear gap.

Ferguson was sitting on the coaching bench of the visiting team, his eyes were expressionless, chewing gum in his mouth, and he was always paying attention to the situation on the field.From his face, you can never see that he has any look of success.

It's as if he didn't play mind games with Reyes before the game.

In fact, Ferguson has better topics, such as Arsenal's recent "unbeaten at home" record. If he said something belittling, it might also have a stimulating effect and put pressure on Arsenal players.But under such a slogan, Arsenal can beat the mighty Chelsea.

Ferguson doesn't think his team is stronger than the current Chelsea, so he doesn't adopt this strategy. It's better to divert Arsenal's attention, maybe it can achieve unexpected results.

And now, his psychological warfare is really working, and Reyes' performance is not good.

"15 minutes into the game, Reyes seemed to disappear on the court, but Ronaldo appeared frequently in the camera. Before the game, Ronaldo threatened to prove that he was better than him. Did Reyes have some stage fright? ?” The narrator was not so polite.

This 15-minute game made many people unable to understand.

Especially Arsenal fans!

This game is Arsenal's home game, and they have high hopes for the team.This is their 13th home game of the season. In the previous 12 games, Arsenal have achieved a record of 11 wins and a draw. They have built Highbury into a fortress of steel.

The game was held at Highbury, and the fans also didn't want the team to lose.

Arsenal fans do not understand Reyes' "sluggish" performance.

"What's wrong with Antonio?" assistant coach Patrice asked Wenger beside him.

In the training and warm-up before the game, Reyes' performance was not so sluggish, at least he was a normal Reyes at that time.Now, in Patrice's view, Reyes really has nothing to do with the word "normal".

Wenger shrugged: "I don't know either."

He didn't want to say deceitful words, so he could only make peace with each other, and he was also a little worried.

Reyes was in a slump, but Ronaldo seemed to be in good shape. He didn't know if Cole could defend such a Ronaldo alone.To lure C Luo out of the hole, but don't be bitten back by the other party.

But Wenger looked at the field, Manchester United's left-back Gary Neville was still in the back, so he still didn't make any adjustments.

Reyes agreed with Reyes before the game that Reyes will "do whatever he can" and when Gary Neville comes up for an assist, it is time for him to "get back together".

But when is Neville coming out?

Looking at Reyes now, Neville has a feeling of "scaring" in his heart. In the previous encounters, he was played "desperately" by Reyes, and he has long been shadowed.

Moreover, in this game, Arsenal sent a five midfield formation of Jenas, Reyes, Hleb, Gilberto and Xiaofa. The position is a combination of three midfielders and two attacking frontcourt. Nas can move forward at any time to create a threat, making Manchester United's defense hard to defend.

Manchester United's lineup was incomplete for this game. Brown and Fernand appeared in the central defender position, and Sylvester cameo at left back.Jackie O'Shea mentioned that the midfielder and Fletcher paired up as a midfielder.

Such a defensive system is obviously too weak, so Ferguson formulated a strategy of "defense first, wait for an opportunity to counterattack" in this game. Gary Neville was strictly prohibited from going up to assist, and Ronaldo seemed a little helpless and alone.

Because Arsenal on this side lacks the containment of Reyes, they can concentrate their forces to deal with Arsenal's center and right, which makes the competition between the two sides look very stalemate.

Arsenal's most threatening attack came in the 33rd minute of the first half. Henry made a wonderful pass from the front of the penalty area with his right heel. Xiaofa took the ball 11 meters in front of the goal. Gary Neville tackled him from the side and rear, but the referee Boll did not interrupt the game, and Henry kept up with the 7 meters away from the goal and volleyed wide of the left post.

During the entire offensive process, Reyes did not participate in it, he stood on the periphery.

With this attack, Manchester United stepped up their guard on the small law, causing Arsenal's offense to stagnate.

On the other side, Ronaldo has more opportunities, so he will always create one or two threats.

In the 12th minute of the first half, Rooney's breakthrough in the middle was blocked, but he still stabbed the ball to the right. Ronaldo volleyed with his right foot 25 meters in front of the goal and missed the far post.Manchester United got the best chance in the 45th minute. Ruud van Nistelrooy responded with a diagonal pass from the left rib. He volleyed vigorously with his right foot 20 meters in front of the goal and was blocked by Lehmann. Ronaldo followed up on the left with his right foot 9 meters in front of the goal. The shot went over the bar!
After this shot, the referee Ball blew the whistle to end the first half of the game.

The two teams scored a goalless goal in the first half, and the scene was uneventful in 45 minutes. It seems that after Vieira and Keane left, the confrontation between the two teams also lost the smell of gunpowder.

Although the scene between the two sides is still fierce, it is less hot.

At this time, I am afraid that many fans will miss those two character captains, right?
In the lounge, Wenger asked the team to strengthen their offense. Of course, he also had a few appropriate criticisms for Reyes' "sluggish" performance.Anyway, the two of them have a tacit understanding, so there is no need to say it.

In the second half of the game, the two sides still did not make any adjustments. Gary Neville still stayed behind, with no intention of pressing up.

Reyes got stuck with him, "Xiang, I don't believe you won't come out."
