There is a dream called football

Li Qiao was completely misfired on the wing.

As Premier League teams become more familiar with Li Qiao, this situation will happen sooner or later, but Wenger didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Evra's defense on the wing is very strong. Li Qiao can't survive the sudden attack. His performance on this side is average, but on the other side, Fascination is not the type of strong attack at all. He still needs to seek cooperation with his teammates.

.

Therefore, Arsenal's fast break cannot be played. Of course, Manchester United's fast break is not that easy either.

In general, Arsenal is at a disadvantage because their midfielder has only one defensive player, Flamini, and the rest are amateur defensive players.

When the game reached the 35th minute, something happened that made Wenger's heart skip a beat. Henry seemed to be injured.

It may be a strain, because there is no obvious confrontation, and player strains usually take a while to be felt. Originally, a little muscle fiber tear is not felt, but the subsequent edema, inflammation, and nerves will be obvious.

Feel.

Henry kept pressing on his abdominal groove, and there was obviously something wrong here. He ran to the sidelines, and the team doctor immediately treated him with spray.

Wenger was worried and asked, "How is it going? Can you persist?"

"It's not certain yet."

Henry also wants to seek a chance to sprint. If he can't bear the sprint, he should end the game.

Van Persie is already warming up here, and the fans are worried. Henry's importance to the team is self-evident.

but……

Players like Henry are actually more prone to injuries, and players with speed can easily get injured.

Within 5 minutes, Henry was jogging. He finally got a chance to get the ball. Henry rushed forward, getting faster and faster, but the ball was destroyed by Fletcher. At the same time, Henry also understood.

, no more.

When sprinting quickly, he already felt powerless, so he decisively signaled to Wenger to make a substitution!

Substitute!

Van Persie replaces Henry.

Henry slowly walked to the court, not only because he did not want to aggravate the injury, but also because he was reluctant to leave. At this time, Manchester United players came over to greet Henry one after another. Such a superstar has transformed into a charming personality.

Before the charisma, the outcome of the game seemed irrelevant, and the fans at Old Trafford gave Henry a standing ovation.

Henry raised his hands and responded to these lovely fans with applause.

Robin van Persie came on and Henry came off. This was the story of the last moments of the first half. Soon, the midfield whistle blew.

The two sides left the field with a score of 1-1, and the battle in the second half was worth looking forward to.

*****

"You have to help defend, you know, that's what I ask of my midfielders."

Rosicky nodded. Normally, he does not defend, but concentrates on organizing offense, but everything is different now. Arsenal has very high requirements for offense and defense. Li Qiao has to be used as a full-back, so...

…

"I have to change."

Wenger continued to tell everyone: "Henry is injured, which is a big loss for us, but there is no way, we are facing unprecedented difficulties now, you have to withstand it."

withstand?

It's really difficult.

Arsenal's schedule for the new season is also particularly difficult, and they encountered the powerful Manchester United at the most difficult time.

But now that you have become a professional player, there is nothing to say about everything. You have to resist it.

"The second half is still about stability, and 1-1 is the bottom line."

Wenger has lowered his bottom line. He originally wanted to win, but after Henry came off the field, it was really difficult, so a draw would be fine.

"Kids, remember you are in demand."

"And the most sought-after ones never die."

*****

Manchester United is relatively relaxed. The huge advantage accumulated in the previous rounds of games gives Manchester United room for mistakes. Even if it is a draw, they are still the first in the league and understandably the first.

Ferguson's ambitions this season are overwhelming. The league is only the first step, and the more important thing is the Champions League.

His confidence comes from the growth of Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney. In other words, the young man's wings have become fuller and he has confidence.

"Boys, after Henry went down, Arsenal is no longer on the same level as us, so I don't know what we have to worry about. I think it's not difficult to beat Arsenal."

Although Arsenal is not Henry's team alone, his impact on Arsenal after he comes off the field is self-evident.

"We just kept doing that in the second half."

"An attack from the wing."

"Penetration in the middle."

"Our offense must be three-dimensional. Remember that our goal is not Arsenal, but the opponents in the Champions League, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Juventus. Those are our opponents this season."

The player nodded.

In fact, this season, the players are itching to be bombarded by the old man's dream. It seems that the Champions League championship is already within reach.

On the one hand, this is a good thing, but on the other hand, it is also a bad thing. After all, arrogant teams generally cannot go far.

But Ferguson is different. He is a head coach who has tasted the Champions League. In 1999, the year of Manchester United's miracle, Ferguson achieved everything and established the dominance of the Manchester United dynasty.

"Children, let me tell you, now I feel like I'm back to the Class of '92, back to the time of Beckham and his friends."

"Arsenal is just a small stumbling block for us." As he said that, Ferguson made a move to kick away the stumbling block, as if Arsenal had been kicked away.

*****

The sophistication of the British professional league has reached an exaggerated level. In just half an hour, Henry's MRI came out.

Wenger got the news before the start of the second half. It was good news. Henry's muscle was only strained, not torn.

These are two completely different things. A strain only requires rehabilitation and does not require surgery, but a tear requires surgery and you will not be able to play for at least a few months.

So after receiving such good news, Wenger told everyone the good news before the start of the second half.

The players are also very happy. It is very important for the team that Henry is fine.

On the other side, when Manchester United came on the field, Ferguson and Wenger exchanged pleasantries, which were all clichés.

But this is also a necessary courtesy.

After being polite, both sides faced a tit-for-tat battle in the second half.

More than 76,000 people at Old Trafford began to cheer. The actors from Dream Theater were already on stage, and the audience was waiting to watch the show.

Li Qiao was muttering something to Van Persie. He was obviously discussing the offensive routine for the second half. Van Persie was the main offensive force in the second half.
