Chapter 313 Everyone Wants the Triple Crown
Chapter 313 Everyone wants the Triple Crown King
Time soon reached 19 o'clock, and players from both sides had already entered the court. At this time, it is definitely impossible for Manchester United's starting lineup to remain confidential.
In fact, Arsenal head coach Wenger, as an opponent, had already obtained Manchester United's starting lineup more than ten minutes ago. At that moment, his mood was broken. Because he believed Ferguson's nonsense, he really thought Yin Jun could not play, so he also placed Arsenal's number one star Henry on the bench.
This season, Manchester United and Arsenal are all-round competition, not only in the Premier League, but also in the semi-finals in the FA Cup. In the Champions League, both sides may also meet. Because from the current perspective, both teams are very likely to enter the Champions League semi-finals.
Therefore, in order to compete better with Manchester United, Wenger chose to rotate Henry when Arsenal has a big advantage.
However, it turns out that Ferguson's statement that Yin Jun cannot appear is a totally lie. Yin Jun not only appeared, but also started, and there was no problem.
"The two sides have already appeared. Judging from the starting lineup we have obtained, Ferguson did not let Yin Jun sit on the bench, but started! It seems that everyone was deceived by Ferguson again!" At this point, Huang Jianqiang smiled.
He Wei also said: "I also found a problem. Wenger seemed to have put Henry on the bench. The professor is really an honest person. Ferguson said Yin Jun might not be able to play the game, he really believed it!"
Both of them laughed.
……………………
At the Villa Park Stadium, Ferguson once again took the initiative to find Wenger to shake hands.
The professor was dark, and he wanted to slap the old man in front of him on the face of the silly smile: How could a respected old guy be so sinister?!
But this was a public place, and he had to pay attention to his image, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and shook hands with Ferguson symbolically.
But in his heart, Wenger had already greeted Ferguson with the most vicious words, and repeatedly sweared that he would believe Ferguson's nonsense, and he was a puppy.
Manchester United's starting lineup in this game is 4231, with goalkeepers Carroll, Gary Neville, Wes Brown, Sylvester and Osheim formed the defense line, Fletcher and captain Roy Keane formed the double midfielder, Ronaldo, Yin Jun and Giggs lined up on the forward line, and Solskjaer replaced Van Nie with a single arrow and broke forward.
Arsenal is still in the 442 formation, with goalkeepers Lehman, Lauren, Campbell, Kroo Toure and Krish forming the defense line, Lyonberg, Edu, Vieira and Pire in the midfield, and the two forwards are Borgkamp with youth training young player Jeremy Ariadire.
Compared with the focus match of the Premier League a week ago, both sides have made certain personnel adjustments. However, Manchester United took the initiative to add injuries, while Arsenal has been because Wenger hit Ferguson's plan.
Arsenal played very proactively and tough from the beginning of the game. Ronaldo was knocked down by Edu at the beginning, but Manchester United's free kick did not pose a threat. Instead, Arsenal almost took the lead afterwards.
In the third minute, Borgkamp broke away from Manchester United's defense and left-footed shot on the left side of the penalty area was saved by Carroll. The Dutchman got a rebound and continued to shoot, but Brown headed the ball to clear the ball from the baseline.
Then Pire took a corner kick, Edu headed the ball and hit the crossbar, and Toure's follow-up shot was blocked by the crossbar, and goalkeeper Carol immediately cleared the ball.
The continuous threatening attacks were created at the beginning, which made Arsenal fans very happy. They seemed to see hope of winning. But Wenger felt depressed. If Henry was on the court, maybe Arsenal had already scored a goal!
……………………
"These guys are crazy enough!"
As he walked into the middle circle, Ronaldo looked up at the Arsenal fans in the stands and said.
Looking around, the stands of Arsenal fans were red, and as the fans rose and fell, it looked like a red ocean.
"Pibergkamp is such a genius, his stoppage is great!" Yin Jun expressed his respect for Arsenal midfielder Pire.
Just now, Manchester United's defense was completely fooled by Borgkamp, and his stop was completely beyond Wes Brown's expectations, which led to Arsenal's continuous attacks. If Manchester United had not had good luck enough, they would have conceded the ball.
Before the game, Ferguson had specifically reminded Manchester United's defense to pay attention to Borgkamp, especially for double midfielders, to pay attention to the protection of the opposite direction. However, Manchester United's double midfielders were not done well just now, and Borgkamp immediately caught a chance and almost scored. This somewhat embarrassed Keane, as the captain, and didn't know how to encourage his teammates.
Yin Jun also saw the clues. When he walked back, he clapped hard and said loudly: "It's okay, we didn't lose the ball, and the game has just begun. Let's take our time, grasp the defense first, stabilize the position, and there will definitely be a chance."
Although Yin Jun is not the captain, as he won the European Golden Boy Awards and European Golden Ball Awards in succession and became Manchester United's number one star, his weight in the locker room is getting heavier and he can hear what he says.
Keane nodded to Yin Jun and expressed his gratitude.
……………………
Seeing Yin Jun encouraged his teammates, Manchester United assistant coach Mike Ferran said: "He is becoming more and more popular now."
Ferguson nodded, obviously agreeing with the assistant's statement. Yin Jun is indeed a crucial member of Manchester United's locker room.
After seeing the players all returned to their positions, the Manchester United coach immediately walked to the sidelines and called out Keane and Fletcher, signaling them to pay attention to limiting Arsenal's midfield and not give them too many opportunities to cut off the connection between Arsenal's midfield and the two players on the front line.
Once Arsenal's offense is suppressed, Manchester United will be able to exert force.
Sometimes, football is that simple. As long as targeted tactics work, the situation will change.
After Manchester United took the goal, Arsenal's morale was still strong, but it always slowed down its offensive. On the one hand, two Manchester United's midfielders began to strengthen their defense against Arsenal's midfield. On the other hand, they were very afraid of Manchester United's counterattack.
Yin Jun's speed and personal ability have become a household name last season. This season, he has taken the lead in Manchester United and became the pillar of the team.
Wenger was obviously very clear that if Mao pushed up rashly, leaving room behind him and giving Yin Jun too much counterattack space, it would definitely be fatal. So after snatching a goal at the beginning, the professor cleverly arranged the team to slow down the offensive and play steadily.
At the same time, Wenger also made special arrangements for Yin Jun's defense. It was just like Manchester United would make arrangements for Arsenal. Yin Jun is the soul core of Manchester United. Almost every time Yin Jun takes the ball, Arsenal players will grab the ball at the first time, which also affected Yin Jun's performance.
But Yin Jun quickly expanded his running range and actively used interspersed running to pull the opponent's defensive players and create opportunities for his teammates.
