Chapter 299 Old Rival
On November 11th, in the No.19 round of the Premier League, Manchester United played against Arsenal at home.
Nearly two weeks have passed since the last round of the league match with Swansea, because during this period, it was still the World Cup match day.
In this regard, although the schedule has been released long ago, Manchester United's coaches and fans are still speechless. The club is being targeted by the FA. There are only three World Cup match days this season.
At present, among the top six in the Premier League, after Manchester United played against Arsenal this season, only Tottenham have not played against each other. All fans hope that nothing will go wrong before the game against Tottenham.
Fortunately for Mourinho, no players were injured this time.
After all, those who can participate in the national team competition are the main players of the team. If they are injured, the strength of the team will be greatly reduced.
Of course, if the Arsenal international is injured, Mourinho is happy to see it.
There are also many gimmicks in the match against Arsenal. Mourinho and Wenger are also old rivals. When Mourinho was at Chelsea before, he was the same London football club as Arsenal. Every time there was a game, there were many topics.
This time is no exception.
Before the game, the two head coaches also routinely started talking.
"Mourinho? That guy who was kicked out by Chelsea twice? Now he's back? He probably thinks football is about ten people setting up a bus in front of the goal and letting a player like Shen Peng try to score."
Wenger showed no mercy at all, and Mourinho also responded tit for tat:
"Last season was such a good opportunity, but Arsenal didn't win the championship. Now he may be the coach with the most calls for dismissal in the hearts of fans in the entire Premier League. As for the coach? I won at least three Premier League titles during my years at Chelsea. What about him? Playing so-called gorgeous football, but since the 03-04 season, they have not been able to win the Premier League title. But there are quite a lot of FA Cup titles, which is also his skill."
Of course, the guns are the guns, but when arranging the tactics, both sides are fully prepared.
Wenger had learned how good Shen Peng was during the UEFA Champions League group stage the previous year. Shen Peng has improved a lot in the past two years. In addition, Manchester United's overall strength is not weak, so he dare not be careless at all.
Mourinho did not dare to underestimate Arsenal's offense. So far this season, Arsenal's previous games, as long as the opponent is not a strong team like Tottenham or Liverpool, they have almost scored three or four goals. Even Chelsea, which has not changed their formation before, lost to them [-]-[-].
In this game, both sides are in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
For Manchester United, Mourinho let Rashford play center forward, Ibrahimovic came off the bench, the central midfielder became Pogba, Rooney also sat on the bench, and the other positions did not change much.
On Arsenal's side, there are two thighs in the team. Sanchez and Ozil play center forward and central midfielder decibelly.
After the game started, the two sides began to compete in the midfield, and you came and went for a while, so it was very lively.
Arsenal continued their coordinated offense, while Manchester United's defense was rock solid.
No. In the 13th minute, Arsenal passed the ball to Sanchez after a series of cooperation in the midfield. Sanchez found an opportunity outside the penalty area and kicked the goal.
The ball flew to the corner of the goal, but De Gea played bravely and saved the ball over the baseline.
Arsenal took advantage of this opportunity and prepared to serve a corner kick.
After the referee signaled, Ozil sent a corner kick.
With an arc, the ball flew into Manchester United's penalty area, looking for Arsenal's players.
However, De Gea had quick eyesight and quick hands, jumped up first and punched the ball away.
The ball flew outwards, and it was about to land in a place where no one was around.
At this moment, Shen Peng rushed over suddenly!
Behind him was a man who was Arsenal's player to defend Shen Peng, Coquelin!
Obviously, Coquelin was going to be thrown away by Shen Peng.
Shen Peng ran towards the ball first, but Coquelin was not far behind him, and both of them were facing Manchester United's goal. If Shen Peng wants to take the ball, he must first stop the ball and adjust his body orientation.
And once he stops the ball, Coquelin will definitely entangle him for the first time, disrupt his rhythm, and then wait for other players to encircle him, then his idea of counterattack while taking advantage of the opponent's corner kick is shattered.
Coquelin knew this, and Shen Peng also knew this, so after running towards the ball, Shen Peng made a move that no one expected.
When he was about to get close to the flying ball, he suddenly jumped up. Under Coquelin's surprised eyes, he knocked the ball with his heel in mid-air. After he landed, his legs rebounded. Like a spring that was compressed and then released, he bounced towards the direction of Arsenal's goal.
One person, one ball, bypassing Coquelin from both sides.
The ball is divided!
Seeing Shen Peng, a very creative man, pass the ball, Coquelin immediately stopped and prepared to follow.
But before he tried his best to catch up with Shen Peng, he had already increased his speed to the maximum. At this time, Shen Peng suddenly turned his head, so he couldn't brake in time, and slipped directly to the ground. He could only watch Shen Peng take the ball away.
Although Shen Peng passed the ball very elegantly this time, it was not easy to control his strength, so the speed of the ball flying out was a bit fast, and Shen Peng tried his best to catch the ball before the opponent's defender.
Facing the opponent's defender, Shen Peng directly threw the ball diagonally forward and chased after him. There was nothing fancy, just relying on speed!
Mustafi, who was defending him, had nothing to do. Everyone knew that Shen Peng was fast, but he just couldn't catch up.
In his desperate eyes, Shen Peng left a back, caught up with the ball that was about to roll out of the sideline, and then made another trip towards Arsenal's goal.
Although Arsenal's defenders were already trying their best to run back, from the perspective of one side of the court, Shen Peng rushed out from the crowd like Bolt was sprinting.
When he just ran into the penalty area, facing Cech who was attacking, he calmly lobbed and the ball flew into the goal lightly.
One to zero!
Ten minutes into the game, Manchester United broke through Arsenal's gate, which also made the home fans cheer passionately, as if seeing a victory.
This is an extremely fast goal, as if the ball had just been sent from Arsenal's feet, and it entered their own goal in a blink of an eye. Many fans who have watched the game for many years have never seen this kind of attack speed. Perhaps, only the kind of goal that shoots directly into the opponent's goal from the midfield can be faster than this...
