Chapter 106: Manchester United-style attack
That guy! Vieira's expression froze in the air, knowing what a stupid mistake he had made.
An experienced player like him was actually sent a free kick by Dong Fangzhuo!
I saw Dong Fangzhuo's right foot lightly, and the ball fell more than two meters in his striker, which happened to be within his control.
Sandros glared and rushed to the ball with all his might.
No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for him to touch the ball before Dong Fangzhuo.
In an instant, it was necessary to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Dong Fangzhuo's speed did not slow down at all, nor did he have any feints, the outside of his right foot directly cut into the ball, and the rolling route of the ball was instantly changed, flying past Sandros's left side.
Hasten!
Hasten!
Hasten!
Sandros was still a step slower.
Without the back-to-back flips and fierce collisions that everyone imagined, Dong Fangzhuo used his speed advantage to get rid of Sandros, who stepped forward to block.
Colo Toure, who came from the left, was unable to intercept Dong Fangzhuo, despite running fast.
When Dong Fangzhuo's left heel was up, his right foot was already adjusting the shot!
He knows he has to shoot before Lehmann is ready, and the more time a world-class goalkeeper like Lehmann gives him to react, the less successful his shot will be.
Drink!
Lehmann, who was standing in front of the goal, shouted like a beast and abandoned the goal.
The faster he played, the smaller Dong Fangzhuo's shooting angle became.
However, before he could pounce on Dong Fangzhuo's feet, Dong Fangzhuo's instep had already pushed the ball, and the ball ran to the lower left corner of the goal against the turf.
By the time Lehmann's knee touched the ground, the ball had already drilled into the goal.
“Goal!”
“Goooooooooooooooooooooal!”
“Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”
Lineker was excited, shouted several times, and turned his head to look at Andy Gray.
Gray wilted in an instant, he didn't expect Dong Fangzhuo to score, this is really a slap in the face, not to mention whether Manchester United can equalize, but Dong Fangzhuo at least brings hope.
The lord raised his fists excitedly to celebrate, and when Dong Fangzhuo rushed forward with the ball before, he held his fists tightly,
It hasn't been let go until now.
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
The fans at the scene were shouting Dong Fangzhuo.
The bench was also boiling, and even Vanney, who had been sullen, stood up and waved his arms.
Dong Fangzhuo's goal was so important that immediately after Thierry Henry scored the second goal, he returned the favor and did not let Manchester United continue to sink and pulled the goal gap back to one.
Although Arsenal are still ahead, the way they conceded the goal was really frustrating.
The culprit, of course, is Vieira.
He spat on the turf, his hands on his hips, his face helpless. If you had kicked the ball off when you had committed a foul, or if you had stepped on it, there would have been no such surprise attack......
But there is no if......
Arsene Wenger kept shaking his head, and it was clear that such a goal could be avoided and should not have happened. I can only say that my players made a big mistake that they shouldn't have made.
How can a player like Patrick Vieira make a low-level mistake?
On the other hand, Dong Fangzhuo played quite smartly, and quickly sent a free kick with the help of a loophole in the penalty to create an opportunity that was not a chance this time.
It shows that he is quite focused on the game.
"Dong scored an incredible goal, which is not what he is good at, and the victory is sudden, unexpected. At that time, everyone thought that they would have to wait for the referee to blow the whistle and resume the game, but they didn't expect Dong to get up quickly and serve quickly, most people were confused at that time, but fortunately, Dong and Scholes were focused enough......"
"This is probably the most beautiful goal of Dong's career!"
In any case, the 2:1 score gave Manchester United renewed hope, and they were not killed by Arsenal in the first half.
"Andy, what do you think of the second half?" Lineker asked.
Andy Gray was silent for a long time, and when he heard Lineker's provocation, he opened his mouth and said: "Even if this goal is scored, it does not mean that Manchester United can reverse it, because Arsenal has always controlled the situation on the field, Henry's state is so good, they can't lose the victory in their hands, Arsenal will definitely continue to strengthen the offensive experience in the second half, and will score goals, Manchester United should think about how to equalize first." ”
'Just because you're in control doesn't mean you win, it's the goals that determine the outcome of the game. Just because Arsenal are in a good situation doesn't mean they can have the last laugh, and there will be plenty of stories to tell in the 45 minutes of the second half. Didn't you just say that the yellow race is not suitable to play in the Premier League? Dong is a pure yellow race. ”
“……”
Ferguson didn't rant in the dressing room, didn't lash out.
"It's still not fast enough, and we need to make it even faster!"
"It's not terrible to be behind, it's terrible to die without a goal."
"Manchester United can't sit still, at Old Trafford, they can't afford to lose to Arsenal!"
“……”
There were no substitutions and Ferguson continued to play with the same starting line-up.
Arsene Wenger has already made changes, with Andreas Pire, who has just returned from injury, replacing Reyes, while young Flamini is replaced by Gilberto.
In the second half, the two veterans naturally wanted to stabilize the situation and continue to maintain the lead.
'The professor is starting to be conservative and this is a great opportunity for Manchester United. Pire has just returned from injury, it may not be a good thing to play now, Gilberto has not been in good form recently, it is better for these two to come back in about 70 minutes, it is a bit early now! ”
"Compared with Ferguson, Wenger is still a little anxious, as the side that is temporarily leading, maybe he should stand still and wait for the lord to make a move."
The second half restarted, Arsenal really slowed down the tempo, not as eager to press up as in the first half, Manchester United's pressure at the back suddenly decreased, and the happiest was Fletcher, as long as Vieira did not rush up, his sweeping work at the back was still relatively safe. Of course, Brown and Ferdinand behind them will also have a lot easier defence against Thierry Henry and Robin van Persie.
However, Thierry Henry was clearly unhappy with the two goals, and he dropped back frequently to pick up the ball in an attempt to find a way to get his third goal done.
But Gilberto and Pire, who had just been replaced, were a little quiet, not excited enough, or played a little cautiously.
Pierret in particular, this is not a common Pierre in Henry's eyes.
When he pulled back to get the ball, he found that Pire hadn't followed......
Then he chose to go to Longtan alone, but he couldn't succeed every time, and it was impossible to always pick a few when there were only him and Van Persie in front of him, and the other teammates didn't follow up.
After a big run, Henry's ball at his feet was cut off by Fletcher.
Fletcher finally had a highlight, and then he quickly fed the ball to Scholes, who did the same, and quickly moved forward, only this time he stuffed Giggs.
Ryan Giggs cut forward quickly down the left.
Another Manchester United-style fast break!
Pire's form was not yet 100 per cent, and he couldn't keep up with the pace of Ryan Giggs, who swooped forward on the left.
In the middle and on the right, Rooney, Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo rushed forward at the same time.
During the run, Dong Fangzhuo and Rooney also made a cross transposition, Dong Fangzhuo rushed to the front point, and Rooney ran to the middle. This small change made Sandros and Kolo Toure a little confused in the retreat, and the two almost bumped into each other, but in the end, Sandros gritted his teeth and followed Dong Fangzhuo.
Ryan Giggs had already crossed before Lauren could come up.
Whew-
The ball or a beautiful line flew towards Arsenal's penalty area and did not rush to land.
It's the back point!
Ronaldo's speed is getting faster and faster, and he pulls Ashley Cole several meters behind him!
Giggs's pass is directed at him!
Dong Fangzhuo, Rooney and Ronaldo are almost in the same straight line.
The ball slammed into the back post, and Ronaldo's movement was quite precise, just in time for the ball to hit the ground and adjust the pace of the shot.
"Go!"
The right foot slammed into the ball.
The angle is not huge, but it is close enough to the goal!
Lehmann had already sprinted into the near corner of the net before Giggs could cross the ball into the box, sealing almost all angles with his body.
When Ronaldo's ball hit, he was already sticking up.
Bang –
The ball hit his left arm!
Didn't go in!
There was an exclamation from the stands.
But the ball bounced out and was still flying in the air.
The quick-eyed Rooney met the ball, did not hesitate at all, and directly shook his head and pointed the ball to the left.
With Lyman's chest in front of him, he couldn't have attacked the goal directly, so he had to make this move and scream.
"Dong!"
