Chapter 82: Playing the violin in the restricted area

'The Manchester United players had a lot of frustration on their faces and they were clearly a little confused by Arsenal's two strikes.

The camera footage gave several close-ups of the United players.

The United fans in the stands were not spared, their mouths wide open and their heads were transmitted in slow motion from high-speed cameras to the screens of all the fans who were watching the game via televisage.

Alex Ferguson, who almost never missed every Manchester United home game, was also found by the broadcaster's camera.

After Manchester United conceded a goal, Ferguson's face was very clear.

Sir Alex Ferguson was also there, but judging by his expression, he was not too happy. If United were still in charge of Alex Ferguson, he would have turned on the switch on his hair dryer...," said Andy Gray.

......

The game continued.

Manchester United fans were certainly not to be deterred by Arsenal's two goals, and they quickly recovered their form, showing their support in the stands with singing and cheering.

Manchester United, on the other hand, launched an attacking frenzy in such an atmosphere.

After overtaking the score, the Arsenal players were naturally very excited, they tasted the sweetness, and naturally continued to stick to their own way of playing.

Manchester United's attack is a little anxious, which also reflects the mentality of the players after being overtaken.

In the 63rd minute, Pogba received a pass from Herrera in midfield and turned to dribble forward, then distributed the ball to the right.

Juan Mata stopped the ball on the right, took a look at the situation in the box and crossed with his right foot.

Juan Mata's right foot was clearly not as good as his left, and his cross was too low for Mustafi to be cut off, followed by an Arsenal counter-attack.

Sanchez got a chance on the right side this time, the defender Sandro on this side was assisting in the front court at this time and had not come back, the defender Herrera made up for it, but failed to prevent Sanchez's in-cut, and finally Herrera got his hands and pulled Sanchez to the ground, preventing the opponent from continuing to break through!

The referee, Marina, blew the whistle and ran over to Herrera to show him a yellow card.

'Alexis Sanchez was really the one who brought all the nightmares to Manchester United in this game, and if it hadn't been for a timely foul by Herrera, Sanchez would have taken the goal into the box again.'

Herrera ignored his yellow card, knowing it would be the result when he fouled him, and he spread his hands at Sandro: "Where is your position!! The one who keeps an eye on you!!! ”

Sandro reached out and patted his chest to show that it was his responsibility.

Herrera didn't dig deeper, as his foul gave Arsenal a well-placed free-kick from outside the box.

Alexis Sanchez came to take the free-kick, but it flew just over the crossbar and bounced off the billboard behind the net, sending a few screams from the United fans just behind the goal – they just saw Sanchez kick the ball up and the net shaking. Looking at it from afar, I really thought it was a goal!

"Sanchez..... It's so dangerous!! His free-kick went just over the crossbar and Alexis Sanchez was in great form and United had to find a way to limit it! ”

"Arsenal's counter-attacks are very threatening, although they don't counter-attack much, but they are to the point every time, Arsenal played very efficiently in this game!"

The fans were relieved to see that the ball didn't fly into the goal.

Manchester United keep attacking! The Arsenal players quickly retreated to the front of the penalty area and put on a stubborn posture in the defensive third, but Sanchez, who floated like a kite in the front, made the Manchester United players understand that once the opponent is given a chance, it will be another counterattack!

The current situation is not good for Manchester United, on the one hand, Arsenal are on the defensive side, but they are ahead of the score and morale is high. Manchester United, on the other hand, are getting more and more impatient, and they have even lost the patience to organize attacks.

As the game ticked by, Manchester United still didn't score, and the scene behind made the Manchester United players even more anxious.

In the 79th minute, Pogba made a long pass directly from the backfield.

In this case, it is difficult for a striker to handle a long pass directly forward, unless there is enough space at the back.

Li Qingshan firmly stuck in position, glanced at Cech's position, and then stood in place, facing the ball and rubbing it towards the goal.

Arsenal's defence retreated very deep and right wing-back Bellerin cleared the ball on the goal-line.

"Li Qingshan's header rubs back!! Ahh Andy Gray said loudly, "Li Qingshan's personal ability is still strong." ”

"However, the probability of scoring a goal with this style of play is not large, Manchester United still has to find a way to pass the ball from the side to the penalty area after all, such as Pogba passing the ball directly forward, even Li Qingshan is not easy to take." Gary Neville shook his head.

In fact, Pogba has tried many such forward passes, and Li Qingshan's handling this time is the most successful - other times, such passes are either cleared by defenders or directly passed out of the bottom line.

Carlo Ancelotti kept gesturing from the sidelines, signaling the United players to be patient and try to cross from the wings.

"Eighty minutes went on quickly, leaving 10 minutes for Manchester United!"

Perhaps Carlo Ancelotti's command from the sidelines had a certain effect, and the United players realised how difficult it was to score goals with their style of play.

In the 83rd minute of the game, Pogba won the ball on the right side, turned around with Xhaka, and released a long ball to the left front.

The ball flew over the players' heads and found Di Maria, who had opened up space on the wing.

"Pogba's beautiful long pass transfer !!"

Di Maria stopped the ball, he looked at the penalty area, and then took the ball and crossed it directly!

Bellerin was so fast that he rushed up and stretched out his foot to block, and the ball bounced off his instep.

Li Qingshan was originally going to fight for the top in the middle, but when the football hit Bellerin, there was a big parabolic refraction and flew back.

Li Qingshan hurriedly turned around and ran backwards.

In the end, Li Qingshan still reacted faster than Arsenal's defenders, and he occupied the landing point, but at this time he was facing away from the goal, so the Arsenal players were also a little relieved - if Li Qingshan was facing the goal, Arsenal's side would be really frightened.

Li Qingshan stretched out his long legs and stopped the ball at his feet.

Koscielny posted up, a confrontation between two big men.

Koscielny clinged to Li Qingshan tightly, all he had to do was not let Li Qingshan turn around, and at the same time forced Li Qingshan out of the penalty area.

Li Qingshan stepped on the football with his left foot and lowered his center of gravity.

Koscielny tried to squeeze him out, but he couldn't.

In terms of strength, Koscielny is no match for Li Qingshan at all.

Manchester United's players didn't stay put, they started to run, ready to pick up Li Qingshan.

Juan Mata cut into the box from the ribs and Li Thanh Sing Son flicked his left foot, looking ready to pass the ball to Mata.

Koscielny stretched out a kick and was ready to block Li Qingshan's pass.

However, at this moment, Li Qingshan knocked the ball with the heel of his left foot, and the football passed under Koscielny's crotch, and then Li Qingshan's body twisted and turned to the right!

Turn around and knock the ball through the crotch!!

Pretty!!

Koscielny was passed by Li Qingshan in the penalty area, but he didn't give up, because even if Li Qingshan turned around, the angle was actually very small.

However, just as Koscielny was about to paste it again, Li Qingshan's right instep was like a razor, quickly swiping across the underside of the football!!

Shot with a curling ball from the outside of the instep from a small angle!!

The ball arced and flew past goalkeeper Petr Cech and into the goal....
