Mourinho made great preparations for the away game with Arsenal, and even made some adjustments that he thought were necessary. Bay on the defense was placed on the bench and Lindelof entered the lineup.

In Mourinho's opinion, Bay is a very strong central defender. If there are powerful offensive players in the opponent's lineup, Bay is definitely a key figure in the defense.

But the "Gunter"'s attack line was led by Aubameyang at the front, Lacazette, Ozil and Mkhitaryan lined up slightly behind. The speed of these three people was not fast, but they were not power-type. If you really want to say it... they were technical-type!

Especially...Mkhitaryan and Sanchez had a big loss in swap transactions before, Manchester United was really making a big loss. Sanchez, a Chilean who is known as a "selfish mercenary", really transferred for Manchester United's money. He had been flirting with Manchester City before, and even kept saying "I want to play the most beautiful football", and said that he wanted to rest with Guardiola again, but now it seems that it's just a joke.

This time Manchester United went to the Emirates Stadium, and even Sanchez was not on the 18-man roster, but Mkhitaryan has long been an indispensable member of Arsenal's lineup. There have even been rumors that Ozil may leave Arsenal. If that time comes, Mkhitaryan will definitely become Arsenal's offensive core.

When the players of both sides entered the court, the commentator was hot for the Gunners...

"Ha, we saw that Manchester United's central defender was replaced in this game, and Swedish central defender Lindelof appeared in the lineup. Obviously Mourinho thought Bay was not suitable for this game, but we are actually very clear that Lindelof has not proved himself in the top league so far, and even when playing for Benfica, he often makes various mistakes. In this game, it is difficult for him to withstand the pressure put on him by our attack line. As long as we can seize the opportunity, we can score goals!"

"But our defense line has a very heavy task in this game. Mustafi and Koscheerny need to use all their strength to withstand Lukaku, and Bellerin and Nacho also need to be careful to deal with Chinese Yang and Rashford. Their speed is really fast. Our full-back probably has no chance to support the midfield today."

In today's game, the "Professor" still lined up a 4-2-3-1 formation. He did not consider fighting with Manchester United in the midfield. The combination of Ramsey and Wilshire could not compete with the combination of Pogba, Herrera and Matic.

But as an old Premier League coach, Wenger has his own ideas for his arrangement of troops. Mourinho has always been famous for his defensive counterattack tactics. This time the game was played at the Emirates Stadium, so Mourinho has a high chance of playing defensive counterattacks away.

In this case, once Arsenal, who plays at home, has the initiative in the game and the team's formation is forward, there is no need to compete with Manchester United in the midfield. If Arsenal is suppressed, Lacazette and Mkhitaryan in the front can also withdraw to the midfield to help the team defend.

And if Arsenal gets a defensive counterattack opportunity, there is a talented player like Ozil ahead, so he can make the most correct choice, allowing the team to strike out the counterattack, or control the rhythm and reorganize the offense.

In short, Wenger spent a lot of effort on the arrangement of troops in this game, and he wanted to use his home advantage to play a good match with Manchester United!

It can be said that both Manchester United and Arsenal have made sufficient preparations for this game, and Mourinho and Wenger both have put their heart into it.

After the game started, Manchester United's tactics were still focused on steady defense, but Arsenal, who played at home, also performed very calmly. When they got offensive opportunities, they were always advancing layer by layer, just like... all players had to touch the ball so that they could maintain their game state or get good luck?

Both sides of the game are very cautious and calm, so this game... won’t be good!

The 57,000 Arsenal fans and 3,000 Manchester United fans in the stands at the Emirates Stadium felt... boring after watching the game for a few minutes!

Even the commentator said a big introduction, but he didn't know what to say. The game lasted for several minutes, and there was no highlight at all!

Even the two sides added together, and there was no shot at the goal!

In 9 minutes, Mkhitaryan played and cooperated with Ozil on the right and swung past Luke Shaw, but when he made a cross, he was intercepted by Luke Shaw who retreated in time and sent the ball directly out of the baseline... a corner kick.

Originally, judging from the slow pace of this game, even if Arsenal got a corner kick opportunity, it was unlikely that they would gain anything. After all, the players on both sides performed very seriously and focused. In this case, the possibility of someone making a mistake is very small!

When Ozil took the corner kick, he called Mkhitaryan over and cooperated with him again. He gave the ball outside the penalty area on the right, and then Mkhitaryan drove the ball to the direction of the baseline and cut inside... That was impossible!

Manchester United's penalty area still gathered many players from both sides. Mkhitaryan wanted to drive the ball and rush towards the goal, but there was no room at all!

Just as Mkhitaryan dribbled the ball toward the baseline, the situation inside and outside the small penalty area had new changes. When dealing with Arsenal's corner kick, although Manchester United, as the defensive side, was passively beaten, the players could actually grab the advantageous position first.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! But in this corner, Arsenal played a tactical corner kick. After delaying it a little, Arsenal players grabbed a favorable position... Mustafi first retreated out and rushed in, pressing Lindelof, who was defending him, behind him.

At this moment, Mkhitaryan's pick teleport came in!

Mustafi was afraid that the header would be disturbed by jumping, so he simply didn't prepare to jump, but stuck Lindelof behind him. The moment the ball fell from the air, he shook his head without jumping and pushed the ball towards the left goal.

When Mkhitaryan dribbled the ball before, De Gea moved here...

As a result, Lindelof failed to defend Mustafi, and Arsenal's central defender headed the ball in the opposite direction again!

Then, De Gea couldn't hold on!

Although he had already rushed along the goal line and tried hard to make a fish leap save with his body completely flat in the air, De Gea still failed to touch the ball... Mustafi, headed the ball!

"GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

At the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal fans suddenly came to life, everyone was cheering and jumping wildly. They could break through the opponent's goal less than ten minutes into the game. Although they might not necessarily win this game,... this is also an advantage!

Leading at home goals... This is a huge advantage!

Off the court, Mourinho was so angry that he cursed: "Fake! This idiot will never know what he should do on the court! A guy with a pig brain!"

Mourinho did not hide his anger at Lindelof, and coaches such as Rui Faria also understood Mourinho very much. Everyone was under a lot of pressure because of the importance of this game, and everyone made a lot of preparations, but Lindelof's mistake this time... made everyone's efforts was wasted!

What's more, Mourinho's mind is probably full of Maguire, who is about to report on the team, and Varane, who has quietly arrived from Madrid to Manchester and is looking for a house.

The team's defense line is about to usher in a comprehensive and thorough strengthening. If Mourinho can still tolerate Lindelof who made mistakes at this time... Then what a ghost!

However, anyone must admit that although Lindelof has shown great potential, he has too little experience in consciousness, position selection, prediction, etc., especially when he came to England from Portugal, how can the Portuguese Super League be compared with the Premier League?

Lindelof is not the strongest central defender in the Portuguese Super League. It’s only when he can adapt quickly after coming to Manchester United!

And this... is also Mourinho's biggest dissatisfaction with the Manchester United management's "lottery" behavior this time!

Even if Lindelof has potential, he can buy me a central defender who can't fight for me. What's the point of being a clever one!?
