"Yellow card, the referee on duty showed a yellow card to Pettit for a tackle foul!" Andy Gray exclaimed excitedly, which obviously became the most interesting episode in this dull game.

"Judging from the slow motion, Petit's tackle did have a clear intention of hurting someone, especially when it happened just after Vieira was almost tripped, which has to be guessed. It was Pettit trying to help his teammates get revenge."

Martin Taylor on the side also nodded and said: "Petit, the French midfielder's playing style is not very clean. Vieira was in the game against West Ham before. Phlegm, was suspended by the FA for 6 games and fined 45,000 pounds. Pettit has repeatedly expressed his protest against this penalty, thinking that it is unfair to the FA, biased against French players, and even made trouble. If there is a turmoil about leaving England, if Arsenal have not come forward to deal with it, I am afraid that the FA will even punish Pettit."

"It's really unnecessary. The referee is the law enforcement officer on the field. Even if he did make a misjudgment, the players must respect and accept it. A famous player like Pettit, who has experienced many battles, really shouldn't be like this. Not calm." Andy Gray was also a little regretful.

In order to retaliate, he carried a yellow card on his back, which is equivalent to planting a mine, and no one knows when it will be detonated.

"Judging from the course of the game, the new Manchester United must have consciously wanted to irritate their opponents. Paulson had fought against Vieira many times, but he didn't expect that Vieira didn't get angry, but instead provoked a Pettit. ’ laughed Martin Taylor.

After a short episode just now, the game continued.

Although Wenger frequently signaled the players on the sidelines to calm down, slow down the pace, and give the new Manchester United the space to attack, it is clear that the situation on the field makes Arsenal's players somewhat unable to retreat, because the new Manchester United has always maintained a compact The three lines are huddled in their own half, regardless of whether Arsenal will attack or not, they will not show their heads anyway.

It was in this tactic that made Arsenal unable to start that the last ten minutes of the first half were worn away.

"The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. The two sides scored a goalless goal in the first half. This game is completely different from Arsenal's previous style of play. It is very dull and ugly. If the second half is still played according to the situation of the first half If it continues, the two sides may not be able to decide the winner until next week's rematch!"

Martin Taylor on the side shook his head in disapproval.

"I don't think so. Arsenal don't have that much time. I believe they are more willing to fight to make a difference. I believe Wenger will make appropriate changes in the second half, such as making some adjustments on the wing to allow the most active wings this season Qi Fei tactics are revived."

"What about the new Manchester United? Do you think the new Manchester United will be able to defend once Arsenal are allowed to play on both sides?"

"I'm afraid it will be difficult, but Bruce must have worked hard on this, and he must know how to deal with it."

"So, do you think, for the new Manchester United, the second half is the most critical 45 minutes of the game?"

"That's right, the game has just started!" Martin Taylor nodded.

…………

…………

"Guys, the game is just getting started!" Bruce shared Martin Taylor's thoughts in the new Manchester United dressing room.

The players were gasping for breath one by one. Although the new Manchester United were forced to defend in their own half in the first half, all players were required to be highly concentrated, constantly pressing, and desperately defending. This was a very exhausting task. Physical tasks.

"Arsenal will definitely make appropriate adjustments in the second half. They will try their best to open up the side channels, especially their right attack. So Ivica, Patrice, your tasks in the second half will be more important than in the first half. Heavy.

"

"Don't worry, sir, we won't give the Arsenal people a chance!" Evra gritted his teeth.

"That's right, sir!" Olic also clenched his fists, and while he was speaking, he kept sticking out his tongue. This is a feature of his panting. It is said that people with this feature can especially run.

"Ribeiro, Michael, in the second half, while taking care of the left, you also have to worry about the right, so your task is also very heavy!"

Junior Juninho immediately nodded and agreed, while Essien hesitated, as if he had something on his mind, but he quickly agreed.

"Guys, we played very well in the first half. We managed to freeze the attack of the Premier League giants Arsenal, but it was not enough. What we have to do is completely freeze them for 90 minutes and give them nothing. chances, so we have to work hard in the second half, believe me, guys, as long as we survive their offense, we have a chance to win!"

"Before the second half of the game, let's take a look at the statistics of the first half. Arsenal had 19 shots, but 14 of them were long-range shots from outside the penalty area, while the new Manchester United didn't have a single shot. The ball possession rate of the two sides was 25% and 75%, which objectively reflected the strength gap between the two sides in the first half of the game!"

"But the score is still 0:0!" Martin Taylor laughed.

Andy Gray also followed with a wry smile, "Yes, the new Manchester United's iron barrel tactics completely restrained Arsenal, but as you said just now, Wenger will definitely make adjustments to this situation, let's take a look at it Look at the running distance of the new Manchester United players."

"Ah, Martin, guess who are the top three players who ran the most in the new Manchester United?" Andy Gray was a little surprised.

"Honestly, I'm not very familiar with this team, but from the information I have, I guess it should be Essien, Paulson and Olic. These three players are all in the new Manchester United team. The one who can run the most, and Evra can also run very well, but in this game, he basically stayed in the penalty area of ​​his side and didn't run much."

"You guessed two, Martin." Andy Gray made a fool of himself.

"Which two?" Martin Taylor was aroused.

"Essien and Olic, they are indeed the top three with the most runs on the court, Olic is first and Essien is third."

"Then who is the second?"

Andy Gray said with a smile: "I'm also very surprised. The second most runners will be the Brazilian midfielder Juninho."

"It's him?" Martin Taylor was a little surprised.

"That's right, in addition to this, he also contributed 4 steals and succeeded in 28 of 34 passes. Although he failed to create a threat, he also performed well. At least it can be seen that he worked very hard."

"But, in my impression, he doesn't seem to be that good at running?" Martin Taylor smiled wryly.

"I think so too," Andy Gray nodded, just when the highlight replay showed a scene of Juninho stealing Vieira, "Tsk tsk, is this still the Brazilian midfielder who is considered thin? "

"But this also makes me believe that the new Manchester United is planning to stick to it to the end!"

Even Juninho, who doesn't run much on weekdays, ran to the second place in the team, so what about the others?

"Okay, Martin, the second half of the game will start soon. Players from both sides of the game have returned to the pitch one after another. We can see that Arsenal have indeed made adjustments. Parlor went off and replaced Sweden. Fast horse Ljungberg."

When Martin Taylor heard this, he immediately interjected: "This is a tactical substitution made by Wenger to strengthen the offensive on the right. Ljungberg can form an assault on the wing and echo Henry on the left. In this way , It is bound to reduce the defensive pressure on Henry, and once the defensive pressure weakens, with the personal abilities of Henry and Ljungberg, it may be difficult for the new Manchester United to limit these two players."

"The situation is not good, Xiao Yu!" Beckham in the stands obviously had the same idea as Martin Taylor.

Xiao Yu also frowned. After all, he had been the owner of the team for more than a year. After watching the game for so many years, he could still see the effect of such a simple substitution.

This is the so-called tree moving to death, and people moving to live!

"Is this Ljungberg very powerful?" Eva felt a little strange seeing Xiao Yu's appearance.

Beckham shook his head with a wry smile, "Things on the football field are not so simple. Replacing Ljungberg may change the whole situation. Not only the right side, but also the left side and the center may be completely liberated!"

Yeah, Steve, do you have a strategy for coping?

Xiao Yu looked at Bruce who was standing outside the coach's bench under the stands, while Wenger was sitting in the coach's bench, obviously very sure about his substitution.

In fact, Martin Taylor, Beckham and Wenger had the right idea. As soon as Ljungberg played, he immediately activated Arsenal's right-sided attack.

Ljungberg is different from Parlor. The latter can run, but his dribbling speed and passing ability on the wing are not very good, but Ljungberg is a good player on the wing, and he is also a very comprehensive player. Players, after getting the ball, or pass from the bottom, or cut inside to shoot, these are his forte.

There is a Ljungberg on the right to reduce the defensive pressure, and Henry on the left feels relieved and becomes more active. In addition, there is Ashley behind him who is also extremely fast and has a strong desire to attack. Cole.

At the beginning of the second half, Arsenal launched several threatening attacks from the right. Ljungberg, who had just replaced him, was energetic and active.

Although Evra's speed is not worse than Ljungberg's, he lost a lot to the opponent in terms of experience, and it was very difficult to deal with. Fortunately, Olic and Essien often returned to the left to help defend, which barely blocked Arsenal's right road attack.

But Vieira and Pettit, who controlled Arsenal's offensive rhythm, were very smart. When everyone thought Arsenal was going to play on the right, they transferred Ljungberg's return pass to the left. To the forward Ashley Cole.

Ashley Cole took the ball and dribbled into the new Manchester United half, Henry cut deep and made a clever one-two with Ashley Cole, Ashley Cole went down to the baseline .

Kanu and Bergkamp, ​​who responded in the middle, rushed to the penalty area desperately. Abidal and Distin stared at them, while Stasson on the right was in front of Ashley Cole. Take up position and keep him out of the box.

But just when everyone thought Ashley Cole was about to cross, the latter unexpectedly passed it to Henry outside the penalty area.

Paulson leaned forward, Henry cleverly pulled out a gap, pushed lightly, and a black figure came whistling beside him, pulling his leg and shooting from a long distance!
