Before Christmas, Arsenal still has two strong rivals, one is Manchester United and the other is Liverpool. After these two games, the Christmas holiday is here. Of course, it is only one day, and Arsenal will soon face a cruel situation.

of the Christmas season.

As we all know, Ferguson is the best at playing the Christmas schedule. He even said that when others are tired, Manchester United can use their depth of bench to score points, and it is often at this time that Manchester United does this and finally locks in

Advantages throughout the season.

For Manchester United, the game against Arsenal is the beginning of the Christmas schedule.

In this game, Ferguson's starting forwards were Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

The midfielder is Fletcher, O'Shea, Park Ji-sung, and Giggs, with Park playing in Ronaldo's position.

The defense is Ferdinand and Silvestre, the wings are Neville and Brown, and the goalkeeper is Edwin van der Sar.

This lineup is much better than last season. The cheating American goalkeeper Howard has left and has been replaced by Edwin van der Sar of the Netherlands.

After the start, Manchester United turned the away game and played very quickly in the midfield. Several midfielders almost kept playing the ball. Park Ji-sung would definitely not be able to break through like Cristiano Ronaldo, so his best way is to move quickly.

Whether in Eindhoven or in the Korean national team, Park Ji-sung's biggest impression is that he can't run to death.

After three passes and two downs, the ball reached Rooney's feet. He passed it across to Van Nistelrooy. The Dutchman hit the empty goal from behind and the ball went in, but the referee's flag was also raised high, indicating offside.

However, Highbury fans broke out in a cold sweat. Only 5 minutes into the game, their defense was penetrated.

Wenger was zipping up his shirt just now, but he couldn't zip up his shirt no matter what, so he had no choice but to leave his shirt open.

Wenger pointed at Campbell and Gilbert. They were responsible for the ball. Of course, Park Ji-sung's role exceeded Wenger's expectations. He thought the Korean was just playing tricks, but he didn't expect him to be on the wing.

It's quite useful.

Soon, Arsenal's Cameroonian full-back Lauren was not so polite when he faced Park Ji-sung for the second time and kicked his opponent's shin guard directly.

"Get up, are you a girl?"

"This is the Premier League."

If Keane were here, a fight would probably start immediately. I remember when Vieira and Keane were both there, Manchester United and Arsenal would really be a war.

O'Shea and Fletcher pushed Lauren away, "Come at me if you have the guts, but bullying an honest person is nothing."

"hehe."

The referee came over to separate the two sides. This kind of action would not receive a yellow card in the Premier League. The referee just warned both sides.

"Pu, you don't have to do anything, we will help you get revenge."

Soon, revenge came to Li Qiao. Fletcher also kicked Li Qiao's ankle from the side. This is an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. If you kick one of my Asian players, I will also kick one of yours. And this kind of revenge against the referee

Still speechless.

As we all know, FIFA now has very strict penalties for malicious retaliation, and the same applies to the Premier League. For example, if Lauren kicked Park Ji-sung just now, and someone from Manchester United immediately kicked Lauren, it would be considered retaliation, and it would definitely be at least

A yellow card.

Arsenal's Pires communicated with the referee, "This must be revenge, revenge for what Park Ji-sung did just now."

"Shut up, I'm just defending his breakthrough."

In the end, the referee did not raise a card, because this could only be regarded as a reciprocal kick, and it was impossible to say that it was retaliation.

But everyone is as clear as a mirror.

What Li Qiao is most uncomfortable with when receiving the ball on the forward line is not stopping the ball, but receiving the ball with his back.

The forward must use his back to get the ball, leaning on the opponent's center back. This is different from the wing. On the wing, Li Qiao does not need to be back-to-back with the opponent's players.

With Ferdinand behind him, Li Qiao felt like he had a huge mountain behind him, unable to push him at all.

Wenger also doubted his own tactics. Was it a mistake to push Li Qiao to the forward line? However, Arsenal's three forwards, Henry, Bergkamp, ​​and Reyes, were all injured. There was no other way.

.

Commentator Martin Taylor also saw the problem, "If Li Qiao continues to play like this, then he is no threat."

Of course, unless Arsenal scores first, then Li Qiao can be a sharp knife in the counterattack, but Manchester United obviously does not give Arsenal a chance.

On the other side, Robin van Persie was also targeted by Silvestre and Neville. In the 15 minutes of the first half, Arsenal only had two shots, all of which were forced shots from outside the penalty area by Pires to increase the statistics.

Li Qiao ran back slowly.

"It doesn't matter if I get scolded by Arthur after the game. I won't go toe-to-toe with Ferdinand again. It's just a waste of my time."

After Li Qiao retreated, Arsenal's formation actually became 451, but with two attacking midfielders.

This is a distraction for Pires.

"Hey, I said you are in my position, we now have two midfielders."

"No, I am a size nine and a half, not a midfielder."

Wenger can understand Li Qiao's choice, but if he plays like this, Pires may have to retreat, which is another problem.

Manchester United will not wait for Arsenal to make changes. After Rooney got the ball in the penalty area, he dunked lightly. The person guarding him was Toure. This move has opened the angle and he can shoot. Luning pushed the ball with the arch of his foot. It was a critical moment.

, Toure stretched out his long legs and blocked the ball from the baseline.

Lyman patted Toure on the head and said, "What a great job."

"Hey, I will make up for the position I lost."

Soon, Manchester United made a comeback. This time it was Giggs on the left who dribbled the ball through. The most beautiful goal in Giggs' career was his solo goal against Arsenal in the FA Cup.

So when Giggs was cutting in from the wing, Arsenal's defensive players gathered together and they must not let Giggs shoot. This guy's feet are very tough.

But at this moment, Giggs did not shoot, but passed the ball with his left foot.

Rooney.

Fanny.

All of them were missed. Even Manchester United's own offensive players didn't know who Giggs was going to pass the ball to. Could it be a mistake?

No!

Giggs did it on purpose. He just wanted to give it to Park Ji-sung on the right. After the Korean got the ball, he nocked an arrow and fired a blast towards the near corner.

During the World Cup, Park Ji-sung scored a similar goal for South Korea. This guy's shooting skills are still very good.

Because it was too sudden, Lehmann was caught off guard by the defense here. Park Ji-sung's goal was like a cannonball, and Lehmann was beyond his reach, and the ball flew into the near corner.

Happiness came so suddenly. The Korean was originally going to rush to Ferguson to celebrate, but he didn't expect that he was suppressed by his excited friends before he ran out.
