My uncle is Inzaghi
Chapter 159 The sun will set
The most successful team in the Premier League era is Manchester United.
As for Arsenal, before the rise of teams such as Chelsea and Manchester City, they were Manchester United's only competitors.
therefore.
At this time point in 2013.
The head-to-head showdown between Manchester United and Arsenal is definitely a hotly debated battle in England.
However, for the players on both sides, it does not make much sense for them to pay attention to the media hype. The outcome of the game depends more on the performance of the players on both sides, rather than the hype of public opinion before the game.
The publicity department's baggage will not determine anything.
And just as Li Mo and his teammates were preparing for this crucial battle.
His agent Tulio told him.
Arsenal are planning to renegotiate his contract again.
"Didn't last season just get renewed? Why are you so anxious?"
Li Mo was very surprised.
"At the end of this season you only have two years left on your contract."
Tulio said on the other end of the phone.
"Isn't this quite safe?" Li Mo complained.
"But Arsenal doesn't think so. Do you know how much you are worth now?" Tulio gave up, but before Li Mo could answer, he continued: "For a traditional and established giant like Real Madrid, 1.5 They are definitely willing to pay a price of more than 100 million. If it is an upstart owned by an oil consortium like Paris, they are even willing to pay more than 200 million!"
"I have no idea of transferring yet," Li Mo said.
"Of course I know, but Arsenal must be afraid that you will leave for free. Even if you fulfill your contract, you are only twenty years old!"
Tulio felt a little emotional when he said this.
Arsenal's concerns are justified.
Li Mo has fulfilled his four-year contract and is only twenty years old.
Until then.
He is completely free to leave - without having to pay a transfer fee, Li Mo's asking for a signing fee of 100 million is not too much!
So now Arsenal is anxious to renew Li Mo's contract.
Li Mo thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's still too urgent. Let's talk about it next season."
He hasn't thought about leaving Arsenal yet. After all, he hasn't gained anything here.
"Then I'll put it off for now. I think if Arsenal doesn't match the Premier League's highest salary, it doesn't count as sincerity at all. They will definitely earn more from your fame than the salary they pay you."
Tulio said.
"Maximum salary in the Premier League? Just Arsenal?" Li Moyou shook his head repeatedly.
How is this possible?
Doesn't this force Kroenke to cut his flesh?
"Lee, you can't think like that!" Tulio's tone became serious. "With your talent and ability, you are a player who wants to strive for a place in football history. If Arsenal wants to keep you, they must I have to help you in this regard!”
"Historical status."
Li Mo was stunned for a moment.
He felt that this thing was too far away from him.
He is only eighteen years old, does he need to think about these things?
"Li, a player's career is actually very short. Many talented stars have very few achievements because of poor career planning." Tulio is a senior Italian agent. For a young man like Li Mo, he certainly knows that the conditions to support a "King of the Era" are not just on the court.
To some extent.
Salary will not occupy a large proportion in Li Mo's future income structure.
However, this is a very important piece.
Because this represents "football status".
The world's number one star naturally deserves the world's number one salary.
not to mention.
Now that Li Mo is so well-known and has such high commercial value, Arsenal can use Li Mo's image rights to obtain extremely generous commercial returns.
In this case, Arsenal is not unable to pay Li Mo the top salary in the Premier League.
This is why Tulio took this as Arsenal's sincerity.
Li Mo thought for a while and said: 'Let's talk first, don't be in a hurry, there is still time anyway. ’
He still has two full years left on his contract, at least until the end of this season.
Although Manchester United is not in good shape this season.
But Wenger is very afraid of Manchester United.
He also knew that Arsenal planned to talk to Li Mo about the contract recently. He was actually opposed to talking about these matters with Li Mo at this time, but the board of directors also had reasons. They said that Li Mo was the club's most important asset and must be Ensure the safety of this important asset.
Fortunately, it seems that Li Mo was not affected by the contract.
He has his own agent to handle this.
However, after the day's training, Wenger decided to have a talk with Li Mo.
In his office, Wenger served Li Modao a cup of black tea.
"Do you need more sugar?"
Wenger asked.
I don’t know where Europeans have this bad habit of adding sugar to their tea.
"No, thank you." Li Mo smiled.
"Your agent has recently been discussing a new contract with the club," Wenger said. "I hope you will not be affected by this matter."
"I won't be affected by this, Dad."
Wenger nodded, of course he knew this.
Naturally, he had more important things to do when he left Li Mo behind.
"We didn't seem to have talked very seriously about goals for this season or anything like that," Wenger said.
Before the start of the season, the team only set the goal of defending the Premier League championship, but Li Mo and other core players would also add the Champions League to the list when they were interviewed by the media.
"I think we should win at least two Champions League and Premier League titles this season." Li Mo said.
Wenger nodded: "It's great to win it, but it's very difficult to win the Champions League."
"How will you know if you don't try it?" Li Mo said.
Wenger nodded. He knew that if the club wanted to keep players like Li Mo, in addition to financial benefits, it was more important to show the club's ambition.
only
Even Wenger has many constraints at Arsenal. Arsenal's current ownership structure has caused the club's shareholders to be more concerned about getting enough benefits from the Arsenal Club.
As for investment in Arsenal.
This multi-shareholder structure determines that Arsenal will basically not make too large an investment.
Carrington training ground.
Moyes is also discussing the game against Arsenal with his assistant Steve Round.
In fact, it's not just assistant coach Steve Round.
Moyes marginalized all the coaching staff left behind by Ferguson. His core team was the old guys he brought over from Everton.
Moyes regards coaching Manchester United as a new starting point for his coaching career.
If he could, he wanted to be Manchester United's new Ferguson.
He's eager to make his mark here.
"Defending Arsenal means defending Li Mo." Moyes said with a sigh.
How to defend Li Mo is a problem for the entire Premier League and Europe.
It's hard for Moyes to have any good ideas for a while.
Therefore, the current thinking of the two of them is to focus on me. Regardless of what happens to Arsenal, they first determine their basic tactical strategy.
"Arsenal's momentum has been so good recently, I think we should avoid its sharp edges and defend in the low post to catch counterattacks," Steve Round said.
Moyes hesitated upon hearing this.
If he were Everton's manager now, he would not hesitate to adopt Ronde's advice.
Defend low, accumulate numbers in dangerous areas, and use fast strikers to counterattack.
Li Mo is very powerful, but facing a dense defense, he doesn't have much to do. On the contrary, once he can seize one or two counterattack opportunities, winning will be a matter of course.
but
At Everton, he can do that.
But this is Manchester United.
The majestic Premier League hegemon, facing his opponents at his home court, set up a bus to catch the counterattack.
I really can't pull this face off.
Moreover, Moyes believes that Manchester United's lineup is much better than Everton. If this style of play is still the same, let alone the issue of face, just whether the proud and powerful players of Manchester United will be convinced is a matter of course. The big problem, in addition to that, is the mouths of those famous Manchester United stars. Just a casual comment can ignite public opinion.
Being the head coach at Manchester United is indeed very different from being at Everton - Moyes has already felt the tremendous pressure of coaching a giant.
"We can't retreat too far" Moyes looked at the player positions laid out by Ronde on the tactical board.
He drew a line on the tactical board.
"We have to at least create pressure on our opponents in the midfield area."
"How about attacking each other?" Ronde frowned and suggested.
In his opinion.
Either put yourself in a weak position and hold on to counterattack.
Or press forward and use the momentum of the home court to attack the opponent's defense.
It's possible to win either way.
Or a combination of the two, attacking first and then defending.
Trouble in midfield
In the current state of Manchester United, is it possible?
This "want and want" mentality may be the beginning of the collapse.
"Counterattack."
Moyes thought for a moment.
Still shaking his head, he said: "Li Mo is too scary, we can't give him too much space and opportunities."
"We also have Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney."
"Do you think the two of them are comparable to Li Mo?"
"This" Ronde hesitated. He looked at the door with some guilt and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the office door was closed.
If these words get out, I am afraid it will directly cause a break between the Manchester United dressing room and Moyes.
"Let's test it out first."
Moyes said.
Ronde nodded, but a thought suddenly came to his mind.
If Ferguson was preparing for this game, what would he do?
With Ferguson's character, if he wants to attack, he will attack fiercely, and if he wants to defend, he will defend to the death.
I'm afraid there won't be any hesitation like Moyes, who tries to stick together a little bit.
after all
Although Manchester United is now one of the most famous football teams in the world.
But their lineup is actually not particularly luxurious - the comparison objects are super giants such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern.
Different from Huang Saren, every position is top-notch.
In fact, there are not many top players under Ferguson's Manchester United.
Most of them are second-rate players like Nani, Ashley Young, Cleverley, Rafael, and Park Ji-sung.
The great thing about Ferguson is that he can use a group of second-rate players to partner with two or three first-rate players to produce a stable performance for a top team.
And Moyes wants to be Ferguson.
I'm afraid this goal was wrong from the start.
Ronde suppressed the ridiculous thoughts in his mind.
After all, he and Moyes have worked together for so many years.
They had some representative seasons together at Everton.
At this time, he chose to trust Moyes's judgment.
November 30, the 13th round of the Premier League.
5:25 p.m. local time.
Old Trafford.
Players from both sides were ready in the player tunnel. Under the leadership of the referee team, players from Manchester United and Arsenal lined up to play.
The entire Old Trafford stadium was as lively as ever for every game.
Every Manchester United player who came out received a huge cheer.
The camera lens also constantly switches to close-ups of the main players on both sides.
Among them, the leading shooters on both sides, Li Mo and Van Persie, definitely got the most shots.
When Van Persie appears in the close-up screen.
The Manchester United fans, seen on the big screen at the stadium, immediately welcomed the Dutchman with huge cheers.
In the minds of Manchester United fans.
Van Persie is a symbol, symbolizing the fact that Manchester United is "one level above" Arsenal.
The stars that you Arsenal have worked so hard to cultivate, we at Manchester United can seduce them.
Doesn't this prove that Manchester United is more attractive than Arsenal?
Van Persie received cheers with a smile on his face.
He suddenly remembered what someone once said to him: "Robin, you have nothing wrong with Arsenal."
That’s right!
I have nothing to apologize to Arsenal for.
Van Persie took a deep breath. After passing this hurdle, he felt much calmer.
He even started thinking about how he should celebrate after scoring a goal.
"Dear viewers, the highlight of the Premier League season, the head-to-head showdown between Manchester United and Arsenal is about to take place. Due to the early end of Liverpool's game, they defeated Southampton 3-1 at home and surpassed Arsenal by 1 point to jump to the top of the list. , for Arsenal, if they lose this game, it means they lose the top spot in the standings, and for Manchester United, if they can win, they can use this to get closer to fourth place. There is a huge gap, but if they lose the game, they will most likely be directly 7 points behind fourth-placed Manchester City!”
"This is a game where both sides are eager to get three points! Both teams are playing their main players. On the home team Manchester United, except for the Red Devils captain Vidic who is absent due to injury, all other positions of Manchester United this season are Regular main force. Goalkeeper De Gea, center back Ferdinand partnered with Evans, left back Evra, right back Rafael, double midfielder Carrick partnered with Cleverley, right midfielder Valencia, left midfielder A Shree Young and Rooney have played more as attacking midfielders this season, with Robin Van Persie at the forefront!”
"For Arsenal, Cazorla sat on the bench, and Kaká replaced Cazorla in the starting lineup. In other positions, goalkeeper Szczesny, center back combination Mertesacker partner Koscielny, left back Monreal, right back Sagna, midfielder Xhaka partnered with captain Arteta, attacking midfielder Kaká, right winger Theo Walcott, left winger Sanchez, center Li Mo, the initial starting point of the two teams The positions are all in a 4231 formation!”
As the narrator's words fall.
Players from both sides have also completed a series of pre-match rituals and are standing in their respective positions waiting for the whistle to start the game. The referees are comparing their watches.
At this time, the live TV footage began to show shots of some people in the stands.
At this time, Ferguson appeared on the camera.
"Ferguson also came to watch the game! If I remember correctly, this was the first time he appeared at Old Trafford after his retirement. According to information from the English media, after Ferguson decided to retire and Moyes took office, In order to prevent his appearance from damaging the authority of the new coach, Ferguson has not been to the Carrington base for several months. He did not even come to the stadium to watch the key midfield battle, but Ferguson couldn't help but come."
Zhang Jun, the commentator of Xinglang Sports, sighed with emotion.
"Perhaps Ferguson will be unfamiliar with the current position of Manchester United."
His words trailed off.
Many Manchester United fans broke the defense in the live broadcast room
"Aren't you familiar with this? The old man never fell out of the top three when he was here!"
"Moyes, get out of class is over!"
"No, you guys started calling get out of class out so early? You're too impatient, huh?"
"Watching the game, what's the fuss about?"
"Fuck Manchester United!"
"Fuck Arsenal!"
For a time, the number of comments in the live broadcast room's comment area soared.
When fans interact passionately.
The game also begins.
Manchester United took the lead to kick off. After some testing in the midfield, Carrick sent a long pass and was directly embraced by goalkeeper Szczesny.
Subsequently, Manchester United's players did not assume a high-pressure posture, but retreated directly to the midfield to build a defensive line.
Szczesny threw the ball to Arteta who came back to receive the ball.
As soon as Arteta looked up, he saw Robin van Persie and Rooney near the center circle. They were Manchester United's first line of defense.
However, because they neither pressed high nor retreated to squat.
In order to maintain the tightness in front of the third line, there is still quite a lot of space behind Manchester United's defense.
Li Mo stood 40 meters away from the Manchester United goal, with Evans behind him.
Thinking of this, Li Mo raised his right hand high. When Arteta looked up at him, he suddenly started to take a step forward, running with a fishhook and going straight into the gap behind Manchester United's defense.
Arteta also understood the situation and directly launched a long pass.
Li Mo crossed Evans and ran to where the football landed.
Unfortunately, Arteta's parent's pass was slightly deflected. When Li Mo caught up with the ball, it was near the right side of the penalty area line.
It's quite close to the bottom line.
But this also allowed Li Mo to get the ball - if it was passed to the middle, the attacking goalkeeper would probably control the ball first.
Although De Gea is not good at attacking, any goalkeeper must press out when faced with this kind of ball.
Li Mo stopped the ball and turned around, but Evans had already chased it back.
Evans rushed forward quickly. He wanted to control the angle of Li Mo's pass as much as possible and force him to pass back.
Because everyone knows that Li Mo is not good at passing people. If he is facing the goal head-on, Evans would not dare to pounce on him, but on the wing, Evans has nothing to worry about. What he is most worried about is Li Mo's pass. Look for Sanchez on the other side, or Kaka at the top of the penalty area in the middle.
Therefore, he should shorten the distance between him and Li Mo as much as possible so that he cannot complete the pass in that direction. In this case, Li Mo will most likely have to pass it back to Xhaka who comes to meet him from the wing.
Evans calculated well.
But the only thing I didn't expect was
When Li Mo turned around with the ball, he wanted to try the dribbling ability he had developed during this period.
He didn't expect Evans to be so cooperative.
In this case, he would not be polite.
He stopped the ball, turned around, then made a slight wave on the outside of his foot, passed the ball under Evans' crotch, and immediately started.
"Crotch-piercing is awesome!!!"
the commentators exclaimed.
Evans looked horrified and tried to control his pace, but it was too late. He really didn't expect Li Mo to do this. He could only watch as Li Mo slipped past him.
"Li Mo! Enter the penalty area!!"
In the commentary box, the commentators exclaimed.
"Be careful!!" The commentator on Manchester United TV's scalp was numb! !
Ferdinand ignored Kaka and immediately pounced on him.
Li Mo chose to pass the ball at this time!
The football inverted triangle was passed to Kaka's feet.
Kaka shoots low with his right foot!
"Kaka shoots!!"
Amid the cheers of the commentators, De Gea reacted extremely quickly. He fell to the ground and threw himself on his side, completing an ultimate save!
The entire Old Trafford stadium erupted in exclamations of exclamation.
‘De Gea! De Gea's save saves Manchester United! ’
"De Gea is in extremely good form this season. Without De Gea, Manchester United might not be ranked fifth."
"This shot came from Li Mo's crotch pass! Let's take a look at the replay. Oh wow, Evans jumped too hard!"
On the TV broadcast, Kaka's shot was not the focus - although the angle he wanted was also very tricky, and De Gea's save was also exciting enough.
But people are more concerned about Li Mo's excellence.
Of course Li Mo had also passed people before, but his passing was done by changing direction slightly after gaining speed and using speed to kill him.
It is two different things than stopping the ball and completing a dribbling breakthrough while switching from static to dynamic.
"Evans pounced too hard. He almost became the culprit for Manchester United's goal loss this time."
when the narrator said.
Evans looked a little ugly.
Wearing crotch, it's so embarrassing.
Ferdinand reminded him from behind: ‘Don’t pounce like that, he is Li Mo! I'm not surprised by what this guy does! ’
Li Mo's presence reminded Ferdinand of his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo is also such a person. What you think he doesn't know, after a while he becomes extremely proficient in it and then shows it off.
They are the same kind of people.
Ferdinand never dared to look down upon him.
Evans took a deep breath: "I was too reckless."
Ferdinand nodded: "You continue to guard him, and I will make up the defense."
"good!"
The two high-fived.
Snapped.
Manchester United's two central defenders completed the communication.
Moyes was thankful that his team did not concede a goal at the start, otherwise this game would have been too difficult.
But he didn't rejoice for a long time before his heart became anxious.
Because he found that the strategy he formulated before the game was useless.
After spotting United building up their defense in midfield.
Arsenal kept playing long passes from the back - Moyes must not have learned the lesson of Napoli in the last game.
But Moyes cannot be blamed for this.
After all, in Moyes' mind.
What Naples can't do doesn't mean Manchester United can't do it.
So now Arsenal is playing against the visitors, constantly hitting Manchester United behind with long passes, causing Manchester United's defense to constantly be in the process of chasing back.
Seventh minute of the game.
Li Mo's opportunity came again.
He faced Evans in almost the same position.
Evans did not dare to pounce this time. He lowered his center of gravity, maintained a suitable distance, and retreated while fighting.
"Don't think about it being so easy this time."
When Evans thought about being crotched, he wanted to regain some ground, but before he could finish his words, his eyes widened.
With a look of shock on his face, his body's center of gravity was shaken, and he watched helplessly as Li Mo passed by again.
"What the hell. Cow tail?!"
Evans, who was breathing in the exhaust from Li Mo's car, suddenly thought of something in his mind.
"Li Mo got the ball again, Evans was cautious enough this time"
Commentator Andy Gray sounded flat.
But the next moment.
He "cough cough cough" almost choked himself.
Because he saw a scene that was enough to make people stunned.
"Li Mo. The ox's tail is amazing?!!"
"Oh, God"
"this"
In the commentary box, the commentators were stunned.
Not to mention that Li Mo, who is 191 centimeters tall, made an oxtail move which was astonishing enough - the point is, Li Mo has never done this before! ?
Li Mo really felt how good the ball felt.
He completed the cow tail with his left foot.
The outside instep of the left foot pushes the ball outward, and then suddenly slams the ball back, like a swaying cow's tail - the name of this extraordinary move is quite vivid.
Then he successfully moved Evans' center of gravity away. When he passed by Evans, Evans was still fighting against the center of gravity that was tilted to his right side. His whole body seemed to be under a immobilizing spell, and he was frozen. In place.
Li Mo dribbled the ball into the penalty area.
But he went a little too far.
Stealed by Ferdinand.
Manchester United took advantage of the situation and fought back.
Van Persie's shot missed the crossbar.
This made Li Mo calm down.
It's cool to dribble past others, but I'm not a dribbling expert now. It would be very dangerous if I give the opponent too many opportunities to steal the ball and counterattack.
He squinted his eyes, thinking about his gains and losses just now.
"You're still not calm enough! You can't just have fun just for the sake of having fun, or get ahead of others just to get ahead..."
Li Mo thought.
"What are you thinking about, Lee?"
Sanchez came over and asked.
"I'm thinking that maybe the offensive method of dribbling past people is not suitable for me now."
Sanchez rolled his eyes at this. ,
Not only you now, but also you in the future are not suitable.
From a big center to a dribbling master, what do you think?
Isn’t it true that any dribbling master is a child’s skill, developed through talent and training from an early age?
You want to become a dribbling master now, is it possible?
Li Mo didn't know what Sanchez was thinking.
He soon had a chance to get the ball again.
Evans became more cautious, and at the same time, he also had some vague expectations in his heart.
Although he was beaten twice and was very embarrassed, if Li Mo continued to choose to go it alone, it would be much easier for Manchester United to defend.
At least he won't be a threat to his own goal.
"I won't let you pass again!"
In order to strengthen Li Mo's competitive spirit, Evans said deliberately.
Many center backs use this kind of trick on the court.
Manchester United fans on the sidelines were also chanting: "Break him! Steal his ball!!"
"Shovel him!!"
In the midst of the commotion.
Li Mo became extremely calm.
"Any technique is for the victory of the game - Inzaghi".
He stopped the ball in front of him, stepped out with one foot to protect the ball, and then after observing the position of his teammates, he made a move to pass.
Evans took a step back, only to find that Li Mo didn't pass anyone this time, but passed the ball!
The cross pass brought the full-back Sagna, who came up from the wing, to the feet.
Li Mo himself continued to penetrate the penalty area.
"Coward!" Evans shouted angrily.
If you have the ability, continue to live up to me!
Once you do it, you won't do it again.
So irresponsible!
Li Mo ignored Evans and focused all his attention on how to attack.
After inserting into the penalty area, Li Mo suddenly stopped suddenly, then turned around Evans and went straight to the front!
At this moment, the football had reached Walcott's feet. Walcott saw Li Mo's running route and passed the ball.
The football jumped high and flew toward the goal.
In the process, Li Mo noticed Ferdinand's movements.
The other party is approaching me.
Li Mo didn't know what Ferdinand wanted to do.
So he first eliminated the other party's interference. He suddenly stopped suddenly and leaned back!
This hit Ferdinand hard.
If he were a few years younger, Ferdinand would still be able to handle it.
But now Ferdinand is indeed a bit "fearful of the young and strong".
He staggered when he was hit, but Li Mo just shook his body, suddenly took two steps forward, jumped up, faced the incoming ball, tightened the core muscles of his waist and abdomen, twisted his waist, twisted his head, and shook his head. !
The football suddenly changed direction and flew towards the far end of the goal.
De Gea was ready when Li Mo took off.
But after the ball came out, he was shocked.
The football was thrown into a small parabola by Li Mo, which greatly increased the difficulty of De Gea's save.
De Gea flew up and stretched his body as much as possible, but as he was flying, the football began to fall, and De Gea couldn't reach it no matter how long his arms were.
I could only watch helplessly as the football fell to the far end of the net.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Li Mo! Li Mo! It's still Li Mo!!"
"The nineteenth goal in the league this season!! The nineteenth goal is here!!"
"Li Mo's beautiful header! He used his movement to get rid of Evans, and then gave Ferdinand a physical confrontation. Then he jumped up, shook his head and hit the goal, heading the ball into the dead corner! This is a typical center forward style. Goal!"
"Movement, confrontation, heading skills! Li Mo showed the ability of a top center!"
"This is right! This is Li Mo's attack method!"
"Maybe the previous one was a little joke made by Li Mo."
When Li Mo landed from the air, he saw the football hitting the goal.
As soon as he landed, he ran to the sidelines, spread his arms, jumped up, leaned down, slid, Kunsha!
Other Arsenal players arrived in droves.
On the sidelines, Wenger raised his arms and shouted excitedly.
In the twelfth minute of the game, Arsenal scored!
This is totally a dream start! !
By winning against Manchester United, Arsenal can push their old rival into the abyss while also maintaining their top spot.
On the other side, Moyes frowned, put his hands in his pockets, and his eyes looked deep, but in his heart he was so regretful that he wanted to slap his thigh.
He has come to his senses now
My pre-game arrangements were totally different.
Attacking is not like attacking, and defending is not like defending.
Although this goal was a reflection of Li Mo's strong personal ability, the opportunity that allowed Li Mo came from Manchester United's almost useless midfield defense.
Thinking of this, Moyes began to panic.
This is only the twelfth minute.
Is it going to change?
Let’s take a look first.
Maybe they can take it back after Arsenal scores a goal?
Moyes puts himself in his shoes.
I feel like I would probably do this if I were Wenger - this is Old Trafford after all.
But soon, Moyes discovered that he was wrong.
After scoring the goal, Arsenal was full of momentum. Manchester United could not stand in the midfield and had to take back.
Taking advantage of a dead ball, Moyes called Evra over.
"We need to strengthen our defense!"
Moyes said.
"We have recovered all the players, how can we strengthen our defense?" Evra said angrily, and ran back to the court before Moyes said anything.
Moyes was stunned.
He turned slightly red and wanted to be angry.
But he suddenly realized that if he was not Ferguson, Evra would definitely not dare to have this attitude.
Moyes put his hand in his pocket and clenched his fist.
He took a deep breath.
Another dead ball opportunity, this time he called Ferdinand.
Ferdinand was very polite.
"Yes, yes, boss, we need to strengthen our defense, especially that Li Mo, but we can't afford to attack! We need an offensive strategy now! Do you have any ideas?"
"Attack. Ways to attack."
Moyes was confused.
"Let the wingers strengthen their crosses and have more people in the middle to grab points."
"That's all we can do now."
Ferdinand returns to the pitch.
"Brothers! We can't be too passive, we need to attack! The boss asked us to strengthen the attack on the wing and make more crosses! Wayne, you must push forward resolutely!"
"clear!"
have to say.
The current Manchester United team still has its power.
Led by several veterans.
They began to try to counterattack.
However, their offense is lacking.
Just constant... crosses.
Especially on Ashley Young's side, he basically can't hit the bottom - mainly because Lao Yang can't hit the bottom either now.
After getting the ball from the wing, he dunks the ball to his right foot and passes the ball to the penalty area.
"Cross from Ashley Young!"
"It's time for Ashley Young to pass!"
"Ashley Young, where did the news go!!"
"Ashley Young has another chance to cross!"
The Manchester United player that the commentators have mentioned the most during this period is Ashley Young who constantly has cross opportunities.
In the commentary box.
Andy Gray couldn't help but complain: "Does Moyes have no other offensive methods? When did Manchester United become a passing team?"
"Crossing is okay, but the quality of Ashley Young's crossing is too poor."
The commentator on Manchester United TV looked worried: "Manchester United needs to change the way they attack. The success rate of blindly passing crosses is too low."
It is difficult for Manchester United's offense to create a threat.
On the contrary, Arsenal's offensive routines are very rich.
Li Mo had several opportunities to challenge Ferdinand in the penalty area.
However, Ferdinand is worthy of being a top central defender. He repeatedly destroyed Li Mo's offense.
Although not as strong as Li Mo.
However, Ferdinand relied on his experience and still entangled Li Mo, causing Li Mo's several attacks to fail.
When Li Mo turned around and his shot was blocked by Ferdinand again.
He couldn't help but look at the veteran.
It seems that I have underestimated the heroes in the world.
In the first half of the game, Li Mo scored one on Ferdinand's head.
But Ferdinand did not give Li Mo another good chance.
Under his entanglement, Arsenal's offense failed to break through De Gea's goal.
As for Manchester United's offense. They had six shots in the first half, but hitting the target on May 1st is enough to explain the problem.
As the first half ended, the whistle sounded.
Both sides of the match hurriedly left the court. After a fifteen-minute break, they would reappear here to continue the fierce battle with their opponents.
And at the same time.
The commentators also summarized the first half of the game.
"Manchester United completed 19 crosses in the first half. This may have set a new Premier League record."
commented commentator Andy Gray.
"Koscielny and Mertesacker may both have concussions."
And in the locker rooms of both sides.
Both sides are seizing the time to make arrangements for the second half.
In the visiting team's locker room.
Wenger emphasized: "We must seize the opportunity to counterattack in the second half and expand the score as soon as possible to seal the victory!"
He didn't make any tactical adjustments. The key was to score goals. Although Ferdinand seemed to be evenly matched with Li Mo in the first half, Li Mo was a striker. As long as he succeeded once, it would be enough to send Manchester United to hell.
"give it to me!"
Li Mo patted his chest and said loudly.
The Arsenal players laughed.
It was the most relaxed half-time at Old Trafford they have had in years.
The atmosphere in the home team's locker room seemed a little solemn.
"We should pay more attention to defense in the second half."
Moyes just spoke.
A thick Liverpool accent rang out: "Defense? We are lagging behind now, I think we should attack aggressively!"
"Are you right?"
Rooney stood up, looked at the other Manchester United players and said.
"Yes! We should attack!"
Van Persie stood up first to support him. He had few good chances in the first half, and his competitor Li Mo had already scored.
"We can't blindly cross the ball anymore. The full-backs have to come up to assist the wing and play a quality side-center combination. Cleverley also has to insert into the penalty area to respond," Carrick said.
The Manchester United players discussed it.
But I left Moyes aside.
Moyes was livid.
Perhaps only now does he realize what a loss it was to him to wipe out all the "relics" of the Ferguson era.
There is no trace of Ferguson.
These players didn't take him seriously
In the "squandering" of players and coaches.
Manchester United's power is slowly declining.
The sun always sets.
