Football King Bale
Chapter 561: Champion Phase
It is said that misfortunes never come singly. Arsenal had just been scored by Manchester United for the third goal and had no hope of scoring points at Old Trafford. They were immediately hit hard again. In the 69th minute, Wilshere irrationally stepped on Evra and received his second yellow card in the game. Two yellows turned into one red and he was sent off with a red card.
Although Wilshere received a red card, Manchester United fans still ignored him. When he came off the field, Old Trafford was booed. Because Wilshere's several fouls in this game were too bad, whether it was the previous tackle on Sneijder from behind or the current deliberate step on Evra, they are actions that can directly get a red card.
Arsenal, who are at a numerical disadvantage, no longer have the ability to compete with Manchester United.
In the 77th minute, Manchester United almost expanded the score again. Manchester United's front three played a beautiful match, Bell took the ball to attack, and passed back to find Rooney. Rooney then passed the ball behind, and Van Persie scored with a 12-yard shot. The first goal was ruled invalid because the Manchester United forward was offside.
But only three minutes later, Manchester United finally ushered in their fourth goal. In the 80th minute, Robin van Persie passed the ball in front of the penalty area. Bell was 6 yards away from the goal. Facing the defense of Arsenal's two central defenders and goalkeeper Mannone, Bell triggered a killer blow. He scored twice and helped Manchester United. Get a 4:0 lead.
Subsequently, Ferguson made substitution adjustments, Pogba replaced Sneijder, Giggs replaced Bale, and Hernandez replaced Van Persie.
Arsenal also made substitutions. Czar Arshavin, who returned on loan from Zenit St. Petersburg, came on and replaced Podolski.
In the last ten minutes of the game, the Old Trafford Stadium was filled with singing. The team once again defeated Arsenal, their biggest rival, by a big score, which made the Red Devils fans very happy.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that the team is about to usher in a long-lost clean sheet. Since defeating Newcastle Magpies 3-0 in an away game a month ago, Manchester United has never completed a clean sheet in four games in the Premier League, Champions League and League Cup, and has conceded at least two goals in each game. Now that a clean sheet is finally around the corner, the Red Devils fans are naturally doubly happy.
However, when referee Mike Dean blew the three full-time whistles in the 96th minute, the Red Devils fans were not as happy as before, because the team they supported had lost the ball again!
In the 95th minute, Arsenal regained a point, Cazorla shot into the net from 18 yards, 1:4!
………………
Manchester United conceded a goal at the last moment, which made coach Ferguson very angry. In an interview after the game, Ferguson believed that the team lacked a sense of urgency in the game and squandered too many opportunities.
Ferguson said at the beginning: "This is simply a suicidal behavior. We can actually concede a goal like this. Thank God, if it were not for the 4-goal advantage, the final score would be extremely embarrassing. I would not dare to I believe that the team missed so many opportunities and I will think about it carefully tonight."
As a pair of old rivals, Arsenal and Manchester United have always played extremely exciting games in the past and contributed many classic games. However, Ferguson believes that this game is really ordinary. He said: "When you see the final score of 4 :1, you would think this was a one-sided game, but it was not the case, because we were behind Arsenal in terms of possession rate and number of passes. I think this game lacked some sense of urgency and played too hard. Whatever, today is a bit too ordinary for such a strong dialogue between Manchester United and Arsenal. I know you have put a lot of labels on this game, but compared to the past games between Manchester United and Arsenal,
This game really doesn't even touch the surface. "
As for the performance of his favorite Van Persie, Ferguson commented: "His performance today was extremely brilliant. He was very smart in both passing penetration and movement. He handled the goal very well. It was a great thing for him to score a goal. Good thing."
Regarding Van Persie's lack of celebration, Ferguson agreed: "He did the right thing. He spent 8 years at Arsenal and maintained respect for the Arsenal fans."
………………
If the most disappointed person in this game is undoubtedly the new Gunners captain Vermaelen.
With the emergence of Kompany, Hazard, Fellaini, Dembele, Vertonghen and others in the Premier League, Belgium's golden generation is enviable. Arsenal also have one, their captain for the new season Thomas Vermaelen. But in recent times, Arsenal fans have become somewhat worried.
With superb defensive standards, good scoring ability and outstanding leadership talent, Vermaelen took over the captain's armband after Robin van Persie left the team.
At the beginning of the season, the Belgian led the Gunners' defense. Even though the top goalkeeper Szczesny was injured, the team maintained a good record until the end of September when they suffered their first defeat, losing 1:2 at home. Blues Chelsea.
This has also become a milestone for the team and Vermaelen personally. In that game, Vermaelen's two fouls resulted in two Chelsea goals from set pieces.
Entering October, Arsenal played against Olympiakos for the first time. In this game, Vermaelen made many passing errors and was even scored a header by the opponent's forward Mitroglu. After the game, he was rated 5 points by Sky Sports. After the international break, they played Norwich away from home. Vermaelen's slip gave the opponent an excellent opportunity to expand the score. Fortunately, Holt made the wrong choice to lob. At the last moment, Norwich's McGee dunked on Vermaelen and got a solo shot. This time it was Mannone who saved Vermaelen. After the game, Vermaelen scored 5 points again.
But things look even worse in November.
Today at Old Trafford, Vermaelen led the team to meet former captain Robin van Persie for the first time. Less than 3 minutes into the game, the new captain's mistake in stopping the ball gave the former captain a reunion gift. Although Vermaelen struggled to make a rescue immediately, Van Persie showed no mercy and hit the goal directly with his right foot.
There was once a widely circulated joke about Arsenal on the Internet. When Szczesny met former Arsenal captains Henry, Fabregas and Gala in different venues such as the Premier League and Champions League, he would always shout: Captain, don't shoot, it's me.
But this time Vermaelen yelled to no avail, because his predecessor was General Van Persie, and he was never shy when he got the chance.
1:0. Although the former captain raised his hands and refused to celebrate, the new captain could no longer calm down.
Almost at the beginning of the second half, another low-level mistake was made by the new captain on the wing. The former captain intercepted the ball and passed the ball. Manchester United once again had a golden opportunity to score. Fortunately, Rooney's luck in scoring in front of the goal was equally bad.
This time, the British media showed no mercy to Arsenal's new captain, giving him a low score of 4 points. Sky Sports commented: "He made a terrible mistake in Manchester United's first goal and almost repeated it in the second half."
According to statistics, Vermaelen has scored no more than 6 points in each of the 6 games since October, with an average of 5.3 points!
In fact, as early as September, Vermaelen's status began to be worrying. Arsenal's defense has conceded goals in nine consecutive games. The central defender combination of Vermaelen and Mertesacker is unsatisfactory. Fans began to miss the combination of Vermaelen and Koscielny last season.
But this time the problem was not with Mertesacker, who was quite uncomfortable in his first year after joining, but with captain Vermaelen. There are already fans calling for Koscielny to play. At first, the Frenchman himself was troubled by injuries and was unable to play. Koscielny had fully recovered some time ago, but Vermaelen still "sticks" to his starting position.
Before this season, Wenger could easily take down Vermaelen, but now Wenger has personally handed him the captain's armband, which means that as long as Vermaelen's physical condition is OK, he is the inevitable choice for the defense.
The current situation is that Mertesacker's performance this season deserves recognition, and Koscielny was Arsenal's best central defender last season. The two of them are Arsenal's theoretically perfect central defender partners, rather than letting one of them One person comes to partner the sluggish Vermaelen.
………………
Manchester United defeated Arsenal in this round and maintained a complete victory in the Premier League in the new season. Chelsea and Manchester City, who played subsequently, were tied in away games.
In this round of competition, Chelsea challenges Swansea away from home. After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Chelsea was tied 1:1 by Swansea in the away game after leading until the 88th minute, losing 3 points. After this campaign, Chelsea has 23 points with 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, and is already 7 points behind Manchester United!
In another game that started at 5:30 pm local time in the UK, Manchester City, with a starting price of nearly 180 million pounds, visited Upton Park to challenge newly promoted West Ham United. In the 4th minute, Nolan's offside kick was ruled out. In the 17th minute, Benayoun's volley shot was saved by Hart. In the 33rd minute, Balotelli received Tevez's free kick and was close to the goal. The shot went over the crossbar. In the 59th minute, Carroll's overhead kick was blocked by Clichy.
Although the two warring sides tried their best, they still could not score. Manchester City finally shook hands with West Ham United 0:0 away from home. In the first 10 rounds of the Premier League, they had 6 wins and 4 draws and accumulated 22 points, temporarily ranking third in the standings after Manchester United and Chelsea.
In a consecutive week of double matches, only Manchester United successfully passed the test and gained a huge advantage through this devilish schedule. After the game, all British media reporters believed that Manchester United is still the most champion team in the Premier League this season.
With a huge points advantage in the league, Manchester United can finally fly to Portugal easily to prepare for the Champions League group stage in midweek.
Manchester United will travel to Braga on Wednesday night. If they can win, they will advance to the group stage two rounds with four consecutive wins!
