Big back

Chapter 941

After the goal was born, the rhythm of the two sides suddenly accelerated. Both teams showed their housekeeping skills and staged a confrontational battle in the rest of the first half.

Arsenal insisted on the fast passing cooperation that they are good at, and the offensive was like mercury pouring down the ground.

Manchester United is simple and straightforward. As long as they get the ball, they will quickly advance to the frontcourt, and then continue to attack, creating a threat to the Gunners' defense.

The two teams came and went on the field, playing extremely lively, with continuous and rapid offensive and defensive transitions, and the fans of both sides in the stands were also very addicted and excited.

No. In 201 minutes, Arsenal played exquisite teamwork in the frontcourt. The football was passed back and forth between Rosicky, Arshavin and Van Persie. In the end, Van Persie seized the opportunity and volleyed the ball directly in front of the penalty area. Passed Van der Sar, but luck was a little worse, the football rubbed against the post and went out of the bottom line.

Manchester United players and fans broke out in a cold sweat.

No. In 206 minutes, Arsenal once again created a good scoring opportunity, this time it was midfielder Abu Diaby who completed the shot.The French midfielder, known as Vieira's successor, has shown great talent after joining Arsenal, but due to injuries, his development has never met people's expectations. Compared with his predecessors Vieira, his performance is also extremely unstable, sometimes his defense is solid and fierce, sometimes he makes amateur low-level mistakes, sometimes he can score amazing goals, and sometimes he can miss excellent scoring opportunities .

This game has been going on for more than 20 minutes, but Diaby did not have much outstanding performance, and it can even be said that he seemed to disappear from the field, and even the Arsenal players ignored this teammate Next, Diaby's "nervous knife" problem was committed again. Originally, it was not a very good offensive opportunity, but Diaby created a threat inconceivably. Nasri's dribbling was destroyed by Carrick. Diaby suddenly jumped in from behind and rushed to the football with an unreasonable and powerful volley.

At this time, the football was nearly 35 meters away from the goal. No one thought that Diaby would be so "nervous". The goal was pierced - the football rushed forward like a cannonball, bypassing the players on both sides and heading straight for the goal. When Van der Sar reacted, the football had already reached the goal.

Van der Sar had no time to make a save, so he could only disarm and surrender, but unexpectedly, the home goal helped a lot, a dull sound sounded, the football hit the crossbar directly, and then bounced back to the penalty area, Van der Sar subconsciously He fell to the ground and caught the ball with a look of shock on his face.

"Great chance for Arsenal to score, great shot from France midfielder Diaby..."

"No matter how you look at it, it looks like a lucky shot, but it is so threatening. Looking at the trajectory of the football, there is something... Oh my god, the football hit the crossbar!"

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Van der Sar has given up resistance, but the goal is on the side of the home team. Manchester United is really lucky today!"

"Unlucky, Arsenal were only centimeters away from the goal!"

The commentators exclaimed, and on the court, Diaby jumped up and down in frustration.

Wenger had already stood up and raised his hands ready to cheer. When he saw the football was blocked by the crossbar, the professor lowered his arms and sat back on the coaching bench with a full face of regret.

Ferguson's eyelids twitched twice. He was also taken aback by Arsenal's shot. He was slightly relieved when he saw the football being crushed by Petr Cech.

However, Ferguson didn't say anything. Although Arsenal's offense was threatening, Manchester United was no different. It was within his expectation that such a situation would occur in the counterattack.

After conceding the ball, Arsenal stepped up their offensive and they also created a lot of scoring opportunities, but Manchester United also put a lot of pressure on the visiting team's defense through a quick and direct attack.

Three minutes after Arsenal hit the crossbar, Manchester United immediately responded with a fast break, also from the wing. Van Bizhuang retreated from the front line and received Scholes' pass straight Killed to the bottom line, and then sent the ball into the penalty area. Berbatov from the front point successfully grabbed the first point. He slid the ball to Carrick who was inserted in the back row. Carrick shot vigorously from outside the penalty area. Assen Na goalkeeper Almunia narrowly saved the football to the bottom line.

In the subsequent corner kick, Manchester United grabbed the first point again, but Fan Bizhuang's header angle was too straight, and Almunia, who was standing in the middle of the goal, kept it straight, and the football was confiscated.

No. 303 minutes, Manchester United made a comeback. Diaby's ball in the midfield was not decisive enough, and Kaka stabbed the ball away from behind. Under the interference of Lun, Fan Bizhuang, who was unable to turn around easily, gave the ball to Berbatov on the left side of his body. Bottom line popped up.

Manchester United missed the opportunity to extend their lead!

"Manchester United's offensive continues. They want to expand the score as soon as possible and establish the advantage of the game!"

"Arsenal is not an easy bone to chew. If you want to win the game, a one-goal lead is not safe. Manchester United is working hard to continue to seek opportunities to score goals!"

"The two teams staged a confrontation on the field. From the perspective of the scene, the two teams are evenly matched. Everyone has a chance to score. Let's see now whether Manchester United will expand the score, or Arsenal will be away. draw……"

As the confrontation between the two teams intensified, the two head coaches couldn't sit still. Every time they saw their team had a chance to score, they would be extremely nervous. In the hinterland of one's own side, it is still nervous-the two teams come and go, you punch me, I kick you, the process and rhythm of the game are fast and direct, just like riding a roller coaster, extremely thrilling and exciting.

The two old coaches are clear that the game is already developing towards an uncontrollable trend. In this fast-paced confrontation, who can score first will be crucial to the improvement of morale and confidence.They can only pray that in the few remaining hours of the first half, their side can seize the opportunity to expand (tied) the score.

The coaches waved and yelled repeatedly on the sidelines, the players collided fiercely on the field, coupled with the boiling noise in the stadium, this made the whole of Old Trafford into a hot furnace.

In the fierce and fast confrontation, time passed quickly, and it was already the end of the first half in a blink of an eye.

After a long period of high-intensity running and sprinting, the physical fitness of the players of the two teams declined extremely quickly. Under such circumstances, the scene was still anxious, but the players of the two teams had to suspend their offensive pace and focus on controlling the ball instead. —— Both sides are very clear that although the game is lively, no one can do anything at this time. It is difficult to score any goals in the first half.

"Manchester United slowed down their attacking rhythm. After nearly half an hour of high-intensity running, the players' physical energy was exhausted. They really need to take a breather."

"Arsenal also seem to be in no rush to get the ball forward, they have the same problem as Manchester United... it looks like the first half will end 1-0..."

"I believe this is only temporary. After 15 minutes of rest and adjustments at halftime, in the second half, the two teams are bound to continue to stage a confrontation battle!"

The commentators talked a lot, and some people even made conclusions. The first half will end with a score of 1:0.

In fact, not only them, whether it is the fans of both sides in the stands, or the coaches on the sidelines, can see the situation at the moment.

But the football field is always full of various variables and accidents. Both teams began to stay focused and prepared for the second half, but they did not expect that in the first half, except for a powerful long-range shot that hit the crossbar, the rest of the time did not perform well. Diaby, who is lackluster, is destined to fully interpret the characteristics of the "nervous knife" in this game.

No. 404 minutes, Arsenal controlled the football in the midfield unhurriedly. Seeing that the end of halftime was getting closer, Arsenal launched the last attack before the spot in the final time period.

Manchester United's defensive formation was kept very tight. Arsenal, who could not find a good chance, could only pass back and forth outside the penalty area. When the football fell to Diaby's feet, the French midfielder raised his foot suddenly after receiving the ball. An unexpected spot-on shot sent the football into the box.

"Diaby shoots—"

"About 25 meters from the goal, the French midfielder suddenly fired again... It seems that Diaby wanted to hit the big luck today, and hit the bottom!"

Diaby's shooting angle is not tricky, but the victory is sudden enough and powerful at the same time. Van der Sar reacted quickly, but he didn't dare to hold the ball with his hands. He moved quickly, and then punched the football with both hands. out.

The kicked football flew towards Evra on the left side of the penalty area. Evra raised his foot to clear the ball, but he didn't expect Van Persie to be faster. He had already judged the football's landing point. , approaching quickly, stupefied that the second-serving player grabbed the ball before Evra kicked it, and caught up with the football in three or two steps, without giving the defensive player any reaction time. The Dutch center kicked his left foot and landed in the penalty area Directly from the left side of the line, he volleyed vigorously with his left foot.

This turn of events caught everyone by surprise. When the Manchester United players turned their heads, an erratic and strange suspicion had already crossed the air. It doesn't help.

The football fluttered into the lower right corner of the goal!
The score became 1:1!At the end of the first half, Arsenal equalized the score!
The hustle and bustle of Old Trafford fell silent instantly, and everyone was dumbfounded. After a while, the cheers and screams of the few away fans occupied the entire stand.
