Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 339 Rush Attack
"Whoa!"
"Good!"
"Li Huan! Li Huan! ”
Rooney...... Rooney ......"
At 19:45 p.m. local time in the United Kingdom, the stands of the stadium resounded with enthusiastic cheers, and 90,000 fans threw away their umbrellas.
The young and handsome referee Kase walked in front with the red and white "Decisive Battle of London" Champions League ball, next to him was the fourth official Wade, behind them were assistant referees Eeros and Ringer, and the bottom line assistant referees: Fabian and Bognar, they are all Hungarians.
The players of Arsenal and Manchester United led the caddies into the stream, their faces were serious and solemn, such a game worth hundreds of millions, related to the honor and status of the players, no matter how big the brand of players can not be regarded as child's play.
The players entered the stadium to take group photos, tossed coins to pick the edges, the reporters on the sidelines took more than one shot, and the commentators on the scene were also loudly introducing the lineups of both sides, as he shouted the names of superstars, the fans in the stands followed with warm applause, and popular players like Li Huan, Rooney, and Fabregas were also called by tens of thousands of fans in unison.
Manchester United's starting lineup for this game is not much different from what everyone predicted before the game, it is a 4231 formation, and the goalkeeper is still the 40-year-old veteran Van der Sar, if Manchester United can win the championship in this game, Van der Sar will become the oldest champion in the history of the Champions League. The four defenders are right wing-back 2Q Fabio, central defenders 5-Rio Ferdinand and 15 Nemanja Vidic, and left wing-back 3 Patrice Evra.
Four midfielders 25 pressure Valencia, 16 Carrick, 11 one Giggs, 13 Park Ji-sung two strikers 10 Rooney 14 Hernandez Among the starters of Manchester United, the only unfamiliar face is the No. 20 Brazilian player Fabio, many fans who are not familiar with Manchester United may not know who he is, but his twin brother must have heard of it even if he is not a Manchester United fan, that is, Manchester United's left-back Rafael, and Fabio and Rafael, he is all-round and has stronger attacking power, in the Champions League, Ferguson wants to strengthen the full-backs' assists.
Although Nani is the player of the season voted by Manchester United players this season, his recent form is obviously not as good as Valencia, who has returned from injury, and the Ecuadorian's defensive ability is not what Nani has, so in this Champions League final, Nani only sat on the bench with Scholes.
In addition, this season's Manchester United goalscorer Wang Berbatov was also pressed on the bench by Ferguson, and compared to the sluggish and dashing Ge Ferguson, he still believes in the Wu Fernandes.
Arsenal's starting lineup is goalkeeper 21 - Fabianski, four defenders 13 Li Huan, 5 Vermaelen, 6 Schelny, 22 Klich; The three midfielders are 2 Diaby, 4 Cesc Fabregas, 8 Nasri, and the three forwards have Theo Walcott: 23 Arshavin and 10 Van Persie.
Arsenal's forward three lineup was almost unchanged for a thousand years, but this time Diaby unexpectedly replaced Alexander. Song started the game, and Nasri also took Wilshere's place. It is normal for Nasri to replace the young Wilshere, after all, Nasri has more experience and in such a world-class tournament, Wenger believes in his compatriot more. However, Diaby replaced Alexander. Song was really helpless because the absolute main force Song accidentally twisted his ankle in training and had to withdraw temporarily, and the appearance of the somewhat frizzy Diaby also added a lot of suspense to this game. The Arsenal fans on the field began to pray when they saw Diaby playing, hoping that the second master could play well and erect a barrier in front of the defender like Song...... The game is about to begin, and this is the G-th time that the English football mecca has hosted the European Champions League final, and the first time since the refurbishment and reconstruction, with more than 90,000 fans coming to fill Wembley Stadium. Reaching the final are two Premier League teams Arsenal and Manchester United, the Premier League has won the Champions League trophy in advance, which is the glory of Arsenal and Manchester United, and it is also the glory of the Premier League......
"There are a lot of highlights in this game, and the biggest attraction is of course whether Arsenal is likely to become the first team to defend the title after the restructuring, and from the current situation in all aspects, Arsenal is very, very likely to break this curse, but whether it can be broken or not, this game will be very classic, because they are the Gunners and the Red Devils."
"Force!"
Referee Kase stood in the middle of the field and whispered the start of the game.
The first kick-off was Arsenal, Van Persie poured the ball and Walcott, Walket passed the ball to Nasri in the midfield, Nasri continued to pass the ball backwards and handed it to Li Huan.
At this time, Manchester United's players also quickly dispersed, advancing in a zigzag to Arsenal's half. Especially Evra and Valenmiya all quickly pressed near the midfield, and Little Pea Fernandez also moved to the right side where Li Huan was, and just opened the offensive center of gravity on Li Huan's side.
The vast majority of people are incomprehensible to United's approach, with fans questioning whether this is Ferguson's tactical arrangement, with commentators and Arsenal players watching to see if this is true or a false shot by United.
Li Huan was also a little puzzled, and said in his heart, could it be that Ferguson suddenly had a brain-dead, didn't he know that his assists were very powerful? Li Huan was boasting about himself, but because he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Ferguson's gourd, he still passed the ball to central defender Vermaelen.
Vermaelen and Li Huan have been cooperating for a long time and understand what Ji Huan meant, Li Huan passed the ball to him instead of going forward, or directly forward, which showed that Li Huan was not ready to attack, and wanted him to pour the ball to the other side and attack from the left side.
The ball went from Vermaelen's feet to Cesc Fabregas, who wanted to take a look at the situation on the pitch, but United didn't want to give him the opportunity, Fabregas had just received the ball and Rooney rushed towards him like a small tank.
Few people know Ferguson and Manchester United as well as Cesc Fabregas. Cesc Fabregas has faced the Red Devils in the Premier League for seven seasons so far, including the league, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup and Charity Shield. He was also familiar with Wayne Rooney, who knew that Rooney was not too short and stocky, but he was very fast, and Fabregas was unwilling to lose possession, so he passed the ball backwards to Vermaelen again.
The little fat Rooney did not stop, he crossed over from Fabregas, went straight to Vermaelen to pounce, forced at the beginning, attacked, and attacked Arsenal's strongest point, this is Ferguson's tactical arrangement before the game, Rooney regards Ferguson as a father, and his orders to Ferguson are unconditional obedience, including letting him assist Ronaldo back then, Rooney has no complaints.
Manchester United's pressing was not Rooney alone, when Rooney pressed towards Vermaelen, Park Zilung and Ryan Giggs also pressed forward, cutting off Vermaelen's forward pass and preventing Vermaelen from giving the ball back to Cesc Fabregas.
Although Rooney rushed hard, Vermaelen did not dare to kick it wide, he was worried that he would be unlucky, and the ball was driven to Rooney. Vermaelen was still very cautious to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper again, and let goalkeeper Fabianski kick wide.
Fabianski didn't open his feet either, as a team like Arsenal, even goalkeepers need good passing footwork and awareness, so Fabianski passed the ball to the unpressed Klich, who he hoped would open a gap on the left side of the relatively empty defence.
Klich is not a general, he has a lot of speed, but the fullbacks play very conservatively, not to mention comparing with Li Huan, even with Fabio who is opposite him, after receiving the pass, he saw Park Sanlung pounce like a desperate Saburo, he still passed the ball to Walcott who received it.
Walcourt was already being targeted by Fabio and Ryan Giggs at the moment, and Klich passed the ball to Walcott with a bit of a hand-in-the-knife ride for his team-mates. Walcott is not good at holding the ball, and it is not easy to deal with it after taking the ball.
Walcott was young and energetic, although he was not in a good situation when receiving the ball, and the passing routes were blocked, and there was only a return pass or a big foot forward.
Walcott is a bold artist, and Arsenal's winning streak of a season has made him a little confident, after seeing Fabio rushing over, he wanted to get past Fabio who seemed to be rushing very fiercely, because after passing Fabio, Fabio is behind a lot of space, and it is easy to play Walcott's speed advantage.
Walcourt dunked Fabio when Fabio was about to pounce, but Fabio was not an idle person, the Brazilian player was physically flexible and aware, and when Walcourt dunked him, Fabio still touched the ball with his foot, allowing the ball to deviate from Walcott's control.
Walcourt wanted to adjust and continue to control the ball, but Giggs didn't give him a chance, the veteran was like him cheating, calculating accurately, seeing the seams, Walcott's ball was a little farther away from his body, Giggs came over with a sliding tackle and shoveled the ball out of Walcott's control.
"Danger! Dangerous! Walcoat was a little too big and the ball was out of his control...... Not good! Park Ji-sung has arrived! Theo Walcott struggled to foul and could only watch as United pressed in front of his own box. ”
Park Samlung didn't know when he appeared on the left side of the Arsenal penalty area again, and the ball tackled by Giggs landed on Park Ji-sung's running line and was quickly captured by Park Ji-sung. In less than two minutes of the opening period, Manchester United made a steal in front of the court and formed an attacking posture.
