I am the king of football

Chapter 250 Elegant?

In the Arsenal locker room, Wenger was looking at his players in silence with a serious look. The first half of the game clearly showed the gap between the two teams.

The problem is not with the midfield, or even with the defense, but with the attacking players on both sides.

Although he is reluctant to admit it, Wenger really has no available offensive talent. Although the club spent more than 20 million pounds to buy two forwards in the summer window, they are not as good as Van Persie alone.

"..."

Resisting the urge to sigh, the professor knew very well that he must not do anything that would undermine morale at this moment. He reached out and pulled over the tactical board at the side and began to move the stamps on it.

"In the second half of the game, Lucas moved to the second striker position and Arteta moved back."

With Poldoski's position forward and Arteta, who has the attributes of a fighter, moved back, Arsenal's formation became 4132. Since it is difficult for Giroud to create opportunities alone, let Poldoski participate as well.

Giving up a certain degree of midfield control ability in pursuit of offense is the only thing Wenger can think of.

"Don't forget the shame of last season. Even if it's at their doorstep, we must play our own thing. Don't let the fans down, and don't let ourselves down!"

"Understood, Boss!"

When the door of the locker room was knocked, the Arsenal team, who received new instructions from the professor, rushed out of the locker room. They collided with the Red Devils team in the player tunnel. The two sides still had the same momentum as at the start of the first half.

"Okay, both teams have entered the stadium, and the second half will begin soon."

After the short halftime break, the fans who had rested were already looking forward to it. When the two teams exchanged halves on the field, Giroud and Poldoski stood in front of the serving point.

"Shhh!!!"

The whistle sounded and the game started again. Arsenal kicked off first in the second half. They changed to a 4132 formation and no longer blindly pursued control of the ball.

"They started to press forward soon after the start. Giroud and Poldoski were very quick. After a goalless first half, the Gunners switched to a double striker formation in the second half."

In Zhan Jun's opinion, Wenger should have done this a long time ago. Since the team unexpectedly lost the first goal, his original intention of deploying a 451 midfield control formation has been broken. Now there are still minutes left, and one can only hope that it is not too late.

"Guard against them!"

Ferguson on the sidelines reacted quickly and did something during the half-time break. Wenger's change of formation was not a sudden change and he had expected it.

According to his arrangement, once the opponent changes to a double forward formation and tries to break through his own defense at the beginning of the game, the team's formation will automatically shrink.

With Qin Hu staying alone in the opponent's half, Van Persie retreated to his own attacking midfielder position, while Carrick and Cleverley moved directly inside to the defensive midfielder position.

For a moment, the defensive pressure on Giroud and Poldoski was no less than that in the first half. Although the two finally had the opportunity to take the ball and face Manchester United's goal with the support of Cazorla and others behind them, the angle and timing of the shot were not good.

"Oh!"

"It was saved again. Giroud's shot was as tricky as it could be, but unfortunately he was facing De Gea~"

After the game reached the 60th minute, in the past ten minutes, Arsenal firmly grasped the rhythm of the attack, and their more fluent and delicate passing in the midfield was reflected during this period.

"No matter what the score is, Arsenal can always play the game well, which is why they have so many loyal fans. But, is it still elegance without scoring a goal?" Zhan Jun said this slowly, because he had seen that Arsenal's offensive had become somewhat sluggish after a series of attacks without getting good results.

In this situation, the Manchester United players who have been quietly accumulating strength will definitely not let their opponents take a chance to catch their breath.

In the 67th minute of the game, Carrick stole the ball from Giroud in his own midfield, then he quickly moved forward with the ball. After Ashley Young raised his right hand high on the wing, he passed the ball without hesitation.

"Ashley Young received the ball and ran straight forward on the right. He is so fast!!!"

This was Manchester United's counterattack opportunity. The fast winger Ashley Young had already exerted all his strength. When he kicked the ball forward, the Gunners' defense was out of position because of their forward formation after just launching the attack.

"He just ran away from Sagna, Arteta had to go to the wing to make up for the loss. Arsenal's defense was already in disarray!"

After attracting a defensive player, Ashley Young's pass was simple and clean. He kicked the ball sideways and Van Persie, who was in the attacking midfielder position, received the ball.

At this moment, Van Persie, who had the ball, was still some distance away from the opponent's defense line, but his running speed had already allowed him to reach the threatening area at the top of the penalty area.

"Mertesacker attacked quickly, he didn't dare to give Van Persie the opportunity to shoot from a distance!"

"Shu~"

At the moment when Van Persie shot, Mertesacker turned and jumped to try to block with his back, but he was once again deceived by his old teammate.

"Fake ejaculation and real ejaculation!"

The shot turned into a pass, and the ball whizzed past Mertesacker and entered the Arsenal penalty area along with Qin Hu's red figure.

Qin Hu, who had been accelerating since the launch of his attack, had already swung his thigh in a circle. His eyes were as fast as lightning and his whole body exuded murderous aura.

If he had hit the ball in front of him hard, no one would have doubted that he would not be able to score. Vermaelen, who was chasing behind him on the left, also thought so.

While looking at Qin Hu's back in despair, the defender made a flying tackle resolutely. He knew that he might be out of the field if he made this kick, but he really didn't have many choices.

"Boom!"

A solid tackle with shiny studs from the side, when Qin Hu felt his left supporting leg taking a huge impact, he fell to the ground instantly.

"Foul! A brutal tackle! Vermaelen directly tackled Qin Hu in the penalty area. This foul was very serious!"

Zhan Jun's voice was filled with considerable anger, and so were the fans in front of the TV. No one could tolerate their favorite player being treated like this. This was not football at all.

"Shhh!!!"

A sharp whistle sounded on the court. The referee rushed to the scene immediately. The players of both teams also rushed over instantly. The anger that had been brewing for nearly seventy minutes on both sides broke out at this moment.
