Chapter 39: Victory
Chapter 39 wins
"The suspense is back! The suspense is back!! Andy Gray almost got up from his seat.
There was a brief silence for nearly 60,000 Arsenal fans at the scene, and the singing of Manchester United fans singing Li Qingshan's praise resounded at the Emirates Stadium.
"Just five minutes into the second half, Manchester United pulled a goal back through striker Li Qingshan!"
"It's two to one!! It's a crucial goal, Manchester United are now just one goal behind Arsenal!! ”
"The goal guarded by Cech was not able to maintain his innocence in the end, he was shot too much, and he always had to be hit!"
"Manchester United suddenly changed the tempo of the attack and caught Arsenal off guard!"
"Manchester United's previous offensive mode was based on Li Qingshan's high-altitude advantage in the penalty area, basically constantly creating opportunities for low crosses, and Arsenal has slowly become accustomed to Manchester United's attacking mode."
But Mata suddenly dribbled the ball to the middle, and Li Qingshan, Di Maria, Herrera also understood, Manchester United completed a very beautiful successive pass penetration, penetrated the Arsenal defence, and when Di Maria crossed the middle, Manchester United outflanked the front and back two points, and finally scored this goal. It's clear that this is a well-planned attack! ”
After Andy Gray stopped, Carragher picked up the conversation: "Yes, we can see from this attack that Carlo Ancelotti's team is maturing and they can easily play different attacking rhythms on the field. If the previous Manchester United relied too much on high-altitude ball attacks, then this goal proves that Li Qingshan, Mata, Di Maria, and Herrera in the midfield can play a smooth ground attack. This means that Carlo Ancelotti's Manchester United is really terrible. ”
'The only test for them now is the physical test of the intensive schedule in the middle and late stages of the season.
'Manchester United are still behind at the moment, but if they can come back to the top of the score, then I can confirm that Manchester United will win the Premier League this season!' Carragher said with a complicated expression.
…………
From a two-goal lead to a one-goal lead, for Arsenal, they are still the one in the lead.
But at this moment, the players on the Arsenal field are flustered to varying degrees.
After the game restarted, many Arsenal players in the front field wanted to press the attack and find their way back at home, while most of the Arsenal players in the back court thought that they should stabilize their defense first, after all, Manchester United who had just scored at the moment was in full swing.
Not having a decision is the worst decision.
Arsenal are in such a situation at the moment, having just been scored, and manager Arsene Wenger on the sidelines has not been able to make adjustments in time. This may be Wenger's shortcoming, he is always slow to command on the spot.
In fact, no matter what decision Wenger makes at this time, whether to press the attack or retreat to defend, it is much stronger than the current Arsenal players on the field who are not unified in their thinking and tear back and forth.
There was good chemistry between Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez, who made a few passes and got the ball to the edge of the United penalty area, but behind them was a large empty space.
Arsenal didn't press up as a whole, there was a large area between the front-court players and the back-field players, and there were no Arsenal players.
Therefore, when Sanchez tried to cut inside and was cut off, Hummels directly passed the ball through the Arsenal midfield and hit Arsenal with a chase and counterattack!
Herrera took the ball and then pushed it forward and passed it to Li Qingshan's feet.
The first second was Arsenal's attack, and in an instant, the football was passed into the Arsenal penalty area. One can imagine the level of panic at Arsenal at the moment.
The current front of the Arsenal defense is unprotected, especially on the two wings, because Sanchez, Ramsey, Walcott, and Ozil are all involved in the attack and have not been able to come back, so on such a wide field, Arsenal can only focus on defending the middle, and the position on the wing is completely empty.
Li Qingshan did not force a turn, he used his body to protect the ball, and then distributed the ball to the feet of Di Maria on the left.
Di Maria was given a huge amount of space on the flanks and it wasn't until he dribbled into the Arsenal box that he met resistance from the defence.
In the midst of the chaos, Di Maria picks up the ball!
Li Qingshan jumped high in the penalty area. He squeezed Mertesacker behind him and flicked his head beautifully!
Cech reacted to a powerful header from such close range, making a sideways pave, but this time he couldn't touch the ball again.
He watched as the ball flew into the goal from the palm of his hand!
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL”
"Red Devil Blitz!! Two goals in two minutes and Manchester United equalised!! ”
"It's Li Qingshan again!! Nice header!! I really don't know how long his hot form will last!! ”
"It's Arsenal who are going to feel the crisis now, Manchester United have gone from 0-2 to 2-2! There are still more than 30 minutes left in the game! What will happen in these more than 30 minutes, the variables are too great! ”
"Both teams had a good start in each half, and now both teams are back on the same page!"
……….
At this time, Manchester United's bench and coach's bench were in a revelry, and Arsenal, just a few steps away, everyone was frowning.
Arsene Wenger also frowned, his side missed a 2-0 start and now the score is levelled while the morale of the opposing side is high, while the morale of his side is low, and even the Arsenal players on the pitch have quarreled.
The ball was cut off from Sanchez's feet and United counter-attacked, Sanchez angrily accused the two midfielders Cazorla and Corcoran for not following up in time, leaving him without a passing line and falling into a one-man situation.
Cazorla, on the other hand, retorted that Sanchez was too risky and rashly dribbled the ball to attack the opponent's intact defense when the team had just lost the ball and had not yet gained a firm foothold, which was undoubtedly a very risky move.
The two big players on the pitch blamed each other, but fortunately, with the intervention of the rest of the Arsenal players, Sanchez and Cazorla both shut up in time and there were no more violent verbal conflicts.
Arsene Wenger is ready for a substitution.
He's going to bring on Olivier Giroud and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. After a few trade-offs, he decided to make a change on the offensive end. After all, this is Arsenal's home stadium, and in front of the home fans, Arsenal always have to show a little bit of aggressiveness.
After pulling Giroud for the final advice, Arsenal made a substitution.
Olivier Giroud came on for Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain came on for Aaron Ramsey.
Arsenal want to attack, and Manchester United, who have two cities in the next two cities, will not retreat to defend.
When Arsenal made a substitution, Arsene Wenger's brow tightened.
Two attacking players were brought in, but Arsenal didn't get many attacking chances. In the whole situation, it is still Manchester United who are attacking around Arsenal.
It can be said that both of Wenger's substitutions were useless.
However, just as Arsene Wenger decided to throw out his third substitution to try to change the situation on the pitch, the Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium were completely silenced.
In the 68th minute, Li Qingshan pulled his leg and shot angrily outside the penalty area.
Petr's good fortune seemed to run out in the first half, and this time Li Qingshan's powerful shot went straight to the top right corner of the goal, and even Cech couldn't do anything about it!
Three to two!
Manchester United overtook the scoreline!
With the exception of the first ten minutes of the game, Arsenal were almost completely overpowered by Manchester United.
Li Qingshan was finally able to celebrate on the pitch after the goal, and he was just about to rush to the corner flag area to kneel, when he was pulled to the ground by the excited Manchester United players, on top of him, Mata, Di Maria, Herrera, Fellaini.........
Even Manchester United's substitutes rushed over, and more than a dozen big men pressed Li Qingshan underneath, making him breathless.
Fortunately, Manchester United's players didn't celebrate for too long, otherwise Li Qingshan would have suffocated and injured because of this........
