Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

Chapter 76

"Arsenal made a substitution."

"Huh?"

"Derrick Bergkamp was replaced by Philip Sandros!"

"This is... five defenders! Arsenal actually used a five-defender formation against Manchester City!"

"As we all know, Arsenal under Wenger's training has always been offensive-oriented. This is the first time that Wenger has used a five-defender formation on the court."

"But Arsenal's formation has always been flexible and changeable. Last season, they used a single striker or even no striker formation many times."

-【Scared, scared, haha, Wenger was scared by Su Fei's performance just now. As a giant, they actually used a five-defender formation against a relegation team! 】

-【Let Arsenal use a five-defender formation. Even if Su Fei can't get the ball next, it is definitely worth being proud of! 】

-【In fact, this is also what I admire about Wenger. He has always been decisive in judging the situation on the court. He made substitutions as soon as Bergkamp, who scored a goal, said! 】

-【Bergkamp is indeed old, and it is very good that he can contribute a goal. It can be regarded as a glorious end. 】

-【This time Manchester City is really difficult to play. In the last game, Su Fei was blocked by five defenders. Although Arsenal only has Henry left, Arsenal's midfielder's passing and control are more than one level stronger than Manchester City. 】

-【Today I never thought that Manchester City could beat Arsenal. Su Fei assisted Knight to score a goal. I think Manchester City has already won a glorious defeat today! 】

-【The crow's mouth in front! How can Manchester City win a glorious defeat? The game is not over yet! I believe in Manchester City! ! 】

On the court, Bergkamp ran off the court in silence. He has always unconditionally supported the decisions of head coach Arsene Wenger.

After listening to the coach's words from Philip Senderos, Thierry Henry curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

"Did the boss really say that?"

"Yes."

"Humph!"

Henry glanced at Robin van Persie on the bench, the brat that the head coach particularly favored.

I remember that when the boy first came to the team last year, he took the initiative to greet him as a newcomer to the team, but he ignored him and shook hands with Bergkamp enthusiastically.

Although he and the boy did not have any direct conflicts in the subsequent interactions, he just felt very unhappy with him!

Although Henry did not say anything, Senderos had already got the answer from Henry's serious expression.

The boss's words have effectively stimulated his big brother.

..................................

Somewhere in Wilmslow, Cheshire, England.

A single-family villa with a Scottish style covering an area of about 650 square meters is located here.

Alex Ferguson is enjoying his vacation. He has just finished a game of snooker with his wife Cathy Ferguson.

Walking leisurely on the Scottish tartan carpet, he returned to the living room and leaned on the comfortable sofa.

"Kathy, please bring me three Jaffa cakes, I need to replenish my energy."

"I can only bring you one, Alex, the doctor said you need to eat less sweets."

"Two, please, dear!"

Those Premier League media could not imagine that Ferguson, who gets along with his wife, is such a childish side.

Perhaps this can also explain his stubborn and obstinate character.

While waiting for his wife to bring dessert, Ferguson turned on the TV and pressed the remote control a few times at random.

The game screen of Manchester City vs. Arsenal jumped out.

The second half of the game just started, the game was 46 minutes, 1:1.

When he saw Arsenal's formation clearly, he immediately jumped up from the sofa.

"What's the situation, five defenders? What happened, Wenger actually played Manchester City with a five-defender lineup?!"

The biggest enemy is often the one who is most familiar with each other.

After nearly ten years of confrontation, Alex Ferguson is almost familiar with all of Arsene Wenger's tactical settings.

But this five-back formation is the first time he has seen it!

And it's Manchester City!

Manchester City.

With Su Fei, Ferguson is of course also paying attention this season, but Ferguson has never thought about setting up a five-back formation in the future city derby.

After all, Manchester City only has one Su Fei.

Su Fei's ability is placed in any top team that has a solid foundation and a solid lineup.

It can help the team improve its offensive end.

But a relegation team like Manchester City wants to rely solely on Su Fei to fight against top teams.

In Ferguson's cognition, it is completely impossible!

Because football is not a one-man game, Su Fei'sThere are also shortcomings in his technique. He is only invincible in standing headers, but his footwork is very rough in all aspects.

In the last game between Manchester City and Portsmouth, Ferguson paid a little attention. Facing Portsmouth, a team that is also fighting for relegation, Su Fei was successfully restricted.

But what is in front of us now is that Arsenal also played a five-defender formation against Su Fei.

Is this really necessary?

Arsenal's defenders, including Toure, are also first-line defenders in the Premier League...

Ferguson was confused, and the more confused he was, the more curious he became. He couldn't help but call his assistant Carlos Queiroz.

He wanted to know what happened in the first half of Manchester City vs. Arsenal!

..................................

The morale of Manchester City fans in the stands was getting higher and higher. The game had already entered the second half. As a giant, Arsenal was still tied with their own team 1-1.

The relegation team faced the giants, and the tie was enough to make the fans excited.

"Blue Moon~"

"You know just what I was there for~"

"You heard me saying a prayer for~"

The passionate singing of Blue Moon fans floated over the Etihad Stadium.

On the field, Arsenal, who played with five defenders, put less pressure on Manchester City on the offensive end.

Of course, this also meant that Su Fei was always under the strict defense of the two central defenders.

Even in many cases, he was forced to walk.

Kolo Toure, who was defending closely against Su Fei, was still upset about the scene of assisting after being knocked away by Su Fei in the first half.

He would talk trash to Su Fei whenever he saw the opportunity.

And Su Fei responded with the same words every time.

"Damn shorty!"

"Croatian shepherd boy, your luck has ended here!"

"Damn shorty!"

"Shut your stinky mouth!"

"Damn shorty!"

"fucccck!!!"

......

The 48th minute of the game.

Arsenal's dazzling short pass penetration reappeared, Fabregas passed the ball from the middle to Ljungberg who was advancing on the left.

Ljungberg dribbled the ball to the bottom and passed it to Thierry Henry at the edge of the penalty area.
