Chapter 243 Hard chop!
Chapter 243: Hard chop!
"Good job! Good job! Beautiful! So beautiful!"
Seeing Yang Xiaozhuang scored a goal to equalize the score, Solskjaer rushed to the side of the court with excitement, punched hard, applauded, and his face was full of excitement.
Can you not be excited?
Before, I saw that his team was behind and Arsenal was playing the most rogue tactic in the world. At that moment, Solskjaer was filled with pressure. He would not forget how powerless Manchester United was when he encountered Barcelona.
After Guardiola coached Manchester City in the past two years, perhaps because the foundation of "Blue Moon" is too poor, or just because Guardiola is modifying the passing and control tactics, so this ancient tactic can more adapt to the development of modern football. Therefore, Manchester City's passing and control style is really different from the "TIKI-TAKA" in Spain in the past... It is faster in terms of pace and higher in terms of efficiency!
Seeing Manchester United's goal, Benitez smiled bitterly: This Arsenal team... has a long way to go before the ultimate pass that doesn't even give the opponent a goal! I don't even know if I can reach that level!
In Benitez's view, the peak pass-control football is to strive to prevent the opponent from touching the ball on the court. When the opponent's mentality collapses, he can win the game with a goal.
This is true for the Spanish national team and Barcelona back then. In many cases, they won a small victory with one goal. However, if they only look at the game, they will find that their possession rate has reached 60%, or even 70%. The opponents have fewer chances to touch the ball, so how can they beat them?
But the "Gunners"... Speaking of which, the foundation of this team is still good, and there are many technical players in the team, but it is obviously unrealistic to Benitez to completely change the tactical style of this team in a short period of time!
Arsenal, who has not yet understood the passing and control tactics, after Manchester United invested more troops to press, their number of goals conceded has increased significantly, and their possession rate has also dropped significantly. It would be a bit dangerous to continue playing like this.
Next...how to play?
The 1-1 draw on the court brought more troubles to Benitez. This Spanish bald man's previous coaching style was known for his tenacity, precision and fast pace. However, after taking over Arsenal, it was obvious that the Gunners' player reserves did not have the tactics he had before. He took a different approach to create a Spanish-style Arsenal, but at present... it was too far apart!
Benitez is still thinking about how to play in this game, and the situation on the field has changed again...
In the 62nd minute, Maguire suddenly stepped forward and completed the steal, passing the ball to B Fee in the middle circle, and the Portuguese midfielder passed the ball to Rashford on the right.
"Master pulling the ball" dribbled forward and encountered obstacles in front of the penalty area on the right and cut inward, dribbled the ball horizontally and ran two steps... Suddenly, he kicked the ball directly into the penalty area on the left.
At this time, Yang Xiaozhuang had just pressed into Arsenal's penalty area in the middle, and at the same time he also took away two of Arsenal's central defenders, which gave Rashford a route to pass the ball.
And Arsenal's left side... is empty!
The ball flew to the small penalty area on the left, Martial slapped the horse and shot directly with his toes, kicking the ball towards the lower right corner of the Arsenal goal!
Cech kept moving sideways in front of the goal, feeling a little tired and ran away. He had just run to the left to block Martial, but the French striker kicked the ball to the other side.
"ha--"
Cech roared and made a fish-jumping save to the left, but Martial's shot was really too fast, especially the shot with his toes. The speed of the ball was almost faster than lightning. Cech had just jumped up and the ball was already approaching the goal line on the other side.
In the end, Cech failed to hit the ball!
"GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Martial, who scored the goal, yelled and rushed to the stands where Manchester United fans were. These Manchester United irons were also cheering wildly at the Emirates Stadium... This goal is really too critical for Manchester United!
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was also excited to run wildly on the sidelines. After being warned by the linebacker, he returned to his activity area with an awkward look.
1:2, Martial scored a goal overtaken by Manchester United!
This goal really brought so many surprises!
During the halftime break, Solskjaer also felt that as long as his team can tie the score in today's game and escape from the Emirates Stadium, it would be a very satisfactory result.
But in the second half, it only played for more than ten minutes. Manchester United not only tied the score, but even achieved a score overtake. The goal scored was Yang Xiaozhuang and Martial, and the assists were Martial and Rashford.
It seemed that Martial, who had passed and shot, performed better, but in fact, Manchester United's offensive trident played a huge role, and he scored two goals in a row, completing a reversal against Arsenal.
Eighteen-year-old Chinese Yang, twenty-year-old Rashford, twenty-two-year-old Martial... Such a Manchester United attack line composed of three young forwards may be able to pose a stable threat to all the opponents of the "Red Devils" in the next ten years!
Like many people, Solskjaer has now recognized that with these three people, the results of the "Red Devils" will be guaranteed, and even if they are behind in the game... before the game ends, the team will still have hope!
Just like today, the "Gunners" who played at home have been prepared very well, and they even took the lead in the game, but they just relaxed a little and gave Manchester United some chances. Under the leadership of Chinese Yang, Manchester United's trident scored two hard goals to kill Arsenal.
On the other hand, Benitez really has no choice. He also knows that if the game continues to develop like this, Manchester United may have to score a goal, and...the adjustments must be made!
Benitez immediately chose the simplest and most direct way to change... change people!
This season, Spanish scorer Lucas, who was bought by Benitez as coach of Arsenal, has been on the court. Lacazette retreated from the arrow to the left winger. Lingard, who bought from Manchester United during the winter transfer last season, also replaced Mkhitaryan.
Next is Italian left-back Emerson Pamieri replaced veteran Nacho. The Spanish left-back is really old now and can no longer keep up with Rashford's pace.
When Benitez thinks of the defender, he has a urge to curse. Arsenal's management doesn't know what he thinks. After the "professor" retires and leaves, they sold all the powerful full-backs, Bellerin and Seyard, who are both powerful on the left and right, before they choose to coach!
All sold!
If Arsenal hadn't even been able to form a strong enough defense line now, Benitez wouldn't have taken the risk of letting the team play the pass-and-control tactics!
Chapter completed!
