Chapter 279
Manchester United is also a team with tradition and heritage. The glory of the 90s was after Ferguson took office. They immediately regained the league championship that had been absent for many years, and won the 1999 Triple Crown.

Immediately after the start of the game, Manchester United started a fierce fight with Arsenal in the midfield. Ferguson knew that Arsenal's excellence lies in their offense, and most of their offense was initiated by the midfield. If you want to suppress Arsenal, you have to suppress them in the midfield.

After Hleb and Flamini left, Arsenal's midfield control has obviously dropped a lot compared to last season, and Ferguson will naturally make a fuss about this.

Ferguson knew that Li Yuxin was a terrible shooter. In Arsenal, his scoring rate of more than one goal in a game allowed Arsenal to still have the championship competitiveness during this dormant period. During this period of time, the English league was basically a competition between two super shooters, Arsenal’s Li Yuxin and Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo.

Thinking of this, Ferguson took a meaningful look at Li Yuxin.Since that season, Wenger began to transform Li Yuxin into Arsenal's center forward, completely following Henry's path.After Henry left, Li Yuxin became Arsenal's center forward.

And it's been remodeled pretty well.Li Yuxin has fast speed, good body, strong shooting ability and strong header ability.After being built according to Henry's model, he can shoot from long distances, can solve it alone when counterattacking, and can head the ball in the penalty area.He scored 32 goals for Arsenal in all competitions in the first season, and he succeeded Gascoigne as Arsenal's chief shooter.

He doesn't have a super center like Li Yuxin at hand, but he has a stronger Manchester United, and there are no players with superstar potential except Cristiano Ronaldo, but Cristiano Ronaldo can make the entire team even stronger.

Hleb left, Flamini left, Diaby was injured, and Fabregas is the only midfielder in Arsenal who can control the midfield. However, Fabregas is still very young, Nasri is very good, but he is not a controlling midfielder.

The characteristic of Manchester United players is that they have more control over running. Evra and Fletcher are such players, while the Korean Park Ji-sung has changed from an attacking midfielder to a defensive midfielder.

Such a balanced midfielder is naturally easier to control in the midfielder.

It's just that Ferguson seems to have underestimated Arsenal and Wenger.

Now the control of Arsenal's midfield is indeed much lower than before. After all, full-time soldiers like Las Diarra can't help in organization. However, Arsenal's two full-backs with crazy assists have injected technology, strength, and speed into Arsenal's midfield!

At the same time, Van Persie's continuous retreat also gave Arsenal's midfielder an extra point to catch the ball. Nasri may not be good enough to get the ball out of a relatively narrow place, but Van Persie can make up for this very well.

Because Las Diarra is dedicated to marking Deco, Fabregas can also focus more on the organization. Although Park Ji-sung is constantly interfering with him, Fabregas can still pass the ball to complete the organization.

Because Nasri and Bale on the two wings keep attacking forward, Fabregas has more routes for the ball. He can pass to Dacourt to cooperate with him, he can transfer the long pass to the two wings, and pass the ball directly to the frontcourt... With many choices, it is naturally more difficult to defend.

In the 7th minute, Fabregas moved to the feet of Bell on the right in a wide range. Bell dribbled the ball forward and forced a breakthrough.

Fletcher's reaction was a beat slow. When he turned around, Bell had already rushed past him with the ball, and then immediately kicked the ball into the penalty area with his right foot!
Li Yuxin, who followed up in the middle, jumped high and beat Ferdinand to shake his head to attack the goal. However, although Ferdinand was suppressed by Li Yuxin, he kept interfering with Li Yuxin, so that Li Yuxin's header could not get too much power. Van der Sar jumped up and pushed the ball out of the baseline.

"Manchester United's defense is really good." Wenger thought while resting his chin on the sidelines. The characteristic of Ferguson leading the team is that he will definitely organize a top-level defense. Although Manchester United is not his brilliant starting point, this characteristic has not changed. Although Sa is old, he is still one of the best goalkeepers in the world. With the combination of midfielders in front of the defense, it is not difficult to break through their defense.

However, Wenger is not worried. In any case, Manchester United's defense is not the most complete. At least Neville is not there. Their left defense is a weakness.

Famous coaches like to do this. When the opponent has any obvious flaws, they will seize the obvious flaws of the opponent and chase after them. Even if the opponent desperately wants to make up for this, there will inevitably be more gaps in other places. At that time, it will be up to other players to make use of them.

This approach is shameless, but very effective.

Arsenal's offensive is concentrated on the right side. In addition to Bale, Nasri and Van Persie also attack on this side in turn. They may not form a breakthrough. With Li Yuxin as a center in the center and a good cross, the lethality is still great!

After all, Fletcher was born as a defensive midfielder, and his defense on the side is far less familiar than that in the middle. What's more, Arsenal are still chasing his side. Under the impact of Bale van Persie and Nasri, even if Roy Keane is still there, he may not be able to resist it, let alone him.

Naturally, the other Manchester United players would not just sit and watch their teammates being bullied. Fletcher began to constantly go to the right side to fill in, but it was impossible for them to put all their defensive attention on the right side, not to mention that Arsenal's few players on this side are all extraordinary players...

No.13 minutes, when Nasri received a pass from Bell on the right, he suddenly broke out.

In the face of Fletcher's immediate press, Nasri, who seldom plays tricks on the field, played a nice little trick. When Fletcher stretched out his foot to poke the ball under his feet, Nasri pulled the ball back with his right foot.

Nasri's long-range shots are now well-known in the European arena. Seeing him crossing to shoot long-range shots, in addition to Evra quickly coming from the side to intercept him, Fletcher also rushed over from the right, intending to block Nasri's long-range shots.

However, at this moment, Nasri quickly knocked the ball to the sideline again, his whole body suddenly changed direction, and then quickly broke through Fletcher who was caught off guard!

This time, Nasri completely got rid of Fletcher's defense and was unmarked on the right!

After completing the breakthrough, Nasri looked up to observe the situation in the penalty area, and then made a decisive cross!

His pass this time was a ball sticking to the ground. Li Yuxin's action at the front point attracted the two central defenders of Manchester United, but Nasri's pass slipped past them and flew directly to the back point...

Van Persie, who was ambushing in the back, rushed up from the back row!

In the contest of speed, Van Persie left Vidic behind, because he was already inside the penalty area, and Vidic did not dare to foul. Van Persie threw his whole body out before he completed the defensive action, and fell to the ground to tackle and shoot!

The ball that was shoveled by Van Persie flew up obliquely, flew past the hand of Van der Sar who was jumping over, and then plunged into the goal!

After scoring the goal, Van Persie got up from the lawn, ran to Nasri, and hugged the laughing Nasri!
"Nasri assisted Van Persie to score! After Hleb Flamini left, people doubted Arsenal's midfield creativity and breakthrough ability. However, Nasri, who has been hidden under the light of Fabregas this season, stood up! His breakthrough may not be as gorgeous as Fabregas, but it is more concise and more effective! This goal is entirely due to him destroying Manchester United's defense on the right!"

Wenger swung his fist vigorously on the sidelines. This is not entirely his victory. If Neville hadn't been injured, maybe Manchester United's left side would not have been pierced so easily-but who made Neville injured?This is also a manifestation of strength. We must know that in the current Arsenal, one or two main players are injured and suspended, and Wenger can also find a good replacement. This is also a manifestation of his ability.

Ferguson frowned. Of course, he could tell that Arsenal were playing hard on the left, but he had no good way to do it. Fletcher had filled the position and couldn't stabilize Manchester United's left. He couldn't just defend the left side desperately, otherwise the other positions would be even weaker. You must know that Arsenal's center and left offense are also very good. They are not a team that only relies on one side to score goals...

"Fight them back, you can't be suppressed by them!" Ferguson made the change of using offense instead of defense, reducing the competition between the midfielder and Arsenal, trying to attack the opponent's half-court, and reducing the pressure on the defense.

Ferguson's character is also not lacking in crazy offensive factors. He is not a head coach who only relies on defense for food.

Wenger made a gesture to the field.

"Be steady and lure them to attack."

Wenger doesn't mind playing a defensive counterattack with Manchester United. Although Arsenal's midfield creativity and control have improved this year, their defense has been strengthened a lot. The three midfielders can provide enough protection. At the same time, Lars Diarra's bravery and flexibility are higher than Diaby.

"Now, let's see how you deal with my defense." Wenger said with a smile in his heart. Although Ferguson mainly kept pace with the times in later generations, he also played offense in a disciplined manner. Whether it was the tactics in the golden four midfielder or the frontcourt of the Trident period, several players quickly cooperated with the offensive tactics, and they were still advancing with the times.

Robson's Manchester United is completely different from the 92 generation, Ruud van Nistelrooy's 442 is different from Ronaldo's 433, Rooney + Van Persie's 4231 has a unique flavor

, are enough to reflect his attainments in offense.

It just so happens that this can also be used to test how good Arsenal's defense is now!

"Cristiano!" Ferguson yelled loudly. He knew that if he yelled at his top player like this, he would definitely be photographed by the media, and then it would become evidence of discord between the two, saying that Ronaldo was going to Real Madrid and so on.However, he doesn't care about those words, what he cares about is winning or losing this match!

"Give me a good kick, kick with all your strength! Don't forget how you won the Champions League final. If you continue to sink, you will be nothing! Go hard, run for me, run hard! This game, no matter what, you are not allowed to lose!"

After Arsenal scored, Manchester United immediately began to adjust.

Ferguson was very angry because Van Persie's goal was more or less a demonstration.But as an old man, no matter how angry he is, he will not lose his mind because of anger.After getting angry, he thought about how to win, not how to get revenge.

He immediately began to adjust his formation: he pulled Park Ji-sung to the left, and then let Berbatov and Rooney play in the middle together, turning the lineup into a 442 mode to play.

This idea is very good: the biggest reason why Manchester United will be pushed to the backcourt by Arsenal is because Rooney can't stand alone in the frontcourt. Therefore, it is also a good choice to transfer Berbatov to the middle to help him and form a double center.At least, Ferguson saw clearly that Rooney could not be allowed to play as a single center forward.

Manchester United's three-headed monster is the core idea of ​​​​their football.Almost all three of their midfielders are defensive midfielders. Every advance is completed by full-back Evra, and after the advance is completed, it is scored by the three-headed monster.Among these three people, the weakest one is none other than Rooney.This player has a little bit of everything, but he is not good at anything. He has comprehensive skills, but he has no special skills.As an Englishman, his foot skills are not fine enough. As a player under 180cm, he is not strong enough. He can play as a striker, his shooting skills can't keep up, he can play as an attacking midfielder, and his passing level is not up to standard. His position in the frontcourt largely depends on his versatility and frequent running. With such characteristics, it is difficult to perform against strong teams.Wenger arranged the team to defend against him in this game because he knew that Rooney would definitely not be able to withstand the pressure. As long as he put pressure on him, his team would be able to gain something.
