Chapter 787: Gua Shuai’s disciples must survive, and the Red Devils’ new signing has spirituality!
Since Ye Yifeng failed to score in the last game, this became news in Fleet Street.
On the one hand, he criticized Mourinho for punishing the Four Kings of Manchester nightclub too harshly regardless of the situation.
On the other hand, it is also said that Ye Yifeng's strength has been greatly reduced since he left the midfield support of Pogba and Lingard, and he can only do dirty work.
Fleet Street is a mixed bag, and any media that can put on airs and consider themselves authoritative would not dare to write like this, but the tabloids that attract eyeballs and traffic are definitely unobtrusive as they have inherited from their ancestors.
January 1, 2020.
The new year has arrived, and in the third game of the Premier League Express, Manchester United is visiting the Emirates Stadium in North London to challenge Arsenal.
After Emery's dismissal, Arsenal hired Guardiola's disciple Arteta from Manchester City, who initially planned to make Arsenal a representative of beautiful football.
It really produced a pass-and-control scene.
Then he stretched his hips like Manchester City.
Arsenal fans have no expectations of life anymore.
I thought it was dawn after Wenger was driven away.
In the end, I found myself falling into a darker abyss.
Halfway through the race.
Arsenal is already ranked 12th in the Premier League. It sounds like it is in the middle of the pack, but realistically it is in the bottom half of the standings. It is not even a qualified student, so it has no qualifications to challenge the top students.
This time against Manchester United, which has a 19-game winning streak at home, Mourinho used his psychological warfare to the fullest before the game.
Straight to the point, he expressed his desire to see Arteta's Arsenal passing and controlling tactics.
Isn’t it beautiful football?
Pull it out and see how Arteta dresses Nana.
Arteta was not fooled, and directly used the entry-level tactics in football at home: defensive counterattack.
Defensive counterattack is a combination of strong and weak. Weak teams can fight, and strong teams can fight. There are many teams that can't fight well. But if they fight well, weak teams can improve their records, and strong teams can make their opponents despair!
Arsenal and Manchester United are naturally weak against strong.
It is reasonable to adopt defensive counterattack tactics.
As for what is beautiful and sexy,
It seems that eating and staying alive are more important.
Although the attention of Manchester United and Arsenal is no longer as high-profile as it was around the turn of the millennium, the Red Devils fans came to the away game today with high spirits to watch and cheer.
New aid Bruno Fernandez looks unimpressive, but I heard his statistics in the Portuguese Super League are explosive.
Fleet Street will naturally be breaking down United's new signings in detail.
He scored 20 goals and 13 assists in the Portuguese Super League last season. This report card plus 8 goals and 7 assists in the Portuguese Super League in the first half of this season is close to an average of one goal per game.
Highly anticipated indeed.
And Bruno Fernandes made a very good impression on Red Devils fans.
The transfer window has just opened today. I came for a physical examination in the morning, completed the formalities at noon, prepared for training in the afternoon, and put on my new jersey in the evening to play in the game!
The Portuguese Super League has a winter break, so Fee B also took the entire Christmas holiday, so there is no physical problem at all.
If there is a problem, it will only be the team's adjustment and adaptation to the Premier League.
This is of course also a standard for testing players.
Players who plug and play are certainly stronger than those who need an adjustment period.
The quality and moisture content still depend on his specific performance on the field.
Arsenal set up a 343 formation at home.
We don’t know how much of Guardiola’s true inheritance Arteta has acquired, but he already has the style of setting up a fairy formation.
Goalkeeper: Leno.
Defenders: Papastathopoulos, David Luiz, Kolasinac.
Midfielder: Niles, Torreira, 272, Xhaka.
Forwards: Pepe, Lacazette, Aubameyang.
Manchester United started with 433.
Goalkeeper: De Gea.
Defenders: Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Luke Shaw.
Midfielder: Fred, B Fee, McTominay.
Forwards: Greenwood, Ye Yifeng, James.
Although Arsenal's formation looked like they were going to attack hard, when the game started, they found that their formation was basically stuck in the backcourt, with 272 midfielders dealing cards, and the Trident charging forward.
Manchester United initially planned to counterattack defensively.
Mourinho uses defensive counterattacks against Arsenal, no matter how he plays, this is the experience of the past ten years!
The rhythm of the game gradually increased, with both teams relying on their attacking groups to attack their opponents' defense.
Ye Yifeng first acted as the fulcrum in the midfield. He could pass a very comfortable ball to Bruno Fernandez, but B Fei was a little anxious. The line of forward passing was very clear, the direction was right, the idea was right, but the rhythm was too fast. .
The contact between James and Greenwood is basically a knife-edge ball.
This is a matter of running-in.
Before Manchester United could slowly find its rhythm, Arsenal took the lead.
In the past period of time, Manchester United's defense on the left has been under greater pressure because of Luke Shaw's injury and Luke Shaw's more active involvement in wing attacks than Wan Bissaka, which left a clear gap in his defense.
But Luke Shaw is not slow in chasing back and sprinting, and can often make his opponents return without success.
Many opponents do not achieve good results when trying this.
Arsenal started today by attacking the left wing to defeat Wan-Bissaka!
Arteta's control of tactical details is indeed quite targeted.
In the 10th minute of the game, Aubameyang received a pass from 272 on the left and rushed along the wing. When Wan-Bissaka encountered Wan-Bissaka, he turned sharply and cut across to complete the breakthrough.
Fred returned to cover, and Aubameyang smashed the ball into the penalty area. When Maguire came to block his route to continue cutting inside, Aubameyang knocked the ball across the middle.
Lacazette was fast, but McDrawmine failed to keep up when he returned to defense to make up the position. He went forward into the penalty area to meet the ball and shot directly.
The football is shot towards the lower right corner of the goal.
De Gea made a brilliant save to stop the ball.
But the next second Pepe rushed to the goal and scored with a supplementary shot!
The speed of Arsenal's trident is absolutely nothing to say.
Pulling out all the forward tridents in the Premier League for a comprehensive comparison of speed, Arsenal's strength is in the top three.
Arteta clenched his fists on the sidelines to celebrate the goal, which seemed to greatly boost his morale. Even his actions were a bit similar to Guardiola's.
Maybe shaving your hair would be better.
Red Devils fans are accustomed to the team conceding goals. The game has only started not long ago, so there is no need to worry.
Mourinho clapped his hands on the sidelines to boost the team's morale.
Fei B was a little nervous.
When I landed at Carrington Base in the morning, I said I just wanted to win.
This time the team went into a headwind.
Face hurts.
As the captain, Ye Yifeng took the initiative to exchange a few words with him.
Tell him not to be impatient.
The water at Manchester United is too deep and you can't control it.
It doesn’t matter what year James and Greenwood were born.
Furthermore, Arsenal made it clear today that it was a defensive counterattack. You would pass the ball in advance at every turn. Your awareness was very good, but it was not good in combination with the game situation and environment.
If the advance amount is larger, it will be transferred to another dimension.
Why bother trying to emulate Pei Di?
Positional warfare still requires stability.
B Fei hurriedly learned the lesson. In addition, he was surprised that the team was lagging behind, but Ye Yifeng didn't seem nervous at all, and his mentality didn't change at all.
Where did this go?
If Manchester United hadn't fallen behind by three goals, Ye Yifeng's heart would definitely be in trouble!
Isn’t this how the past year and a half has gone?
Manchester United sought stability after kick-off, while Arsenal became more determined to defend against counter-attacks after taking the lead, and also aimed at Wan-Bissaka to beat him to death.
In the 15th minute of the game, Greenwood received a pass from Ye Yifeng from the right and rushed forward, but Kolasinac and Xhaka jointly intercepted the ball.
Arsenal quickly launched a fast break, no need to worry, just pass the ball forward.
Aubameyang made a quick dash in response, and Fred helped defend in advance, causing Aubameyang to decisively change inside and walk to the middle. When he came to the penalty area, he took a long shot and the football slipped past the goal.
It does have some shadow of the former Henry the Great.
Manchester United switches sides and plays on the left.
In the 19th minute of the game, James received B Fee's pass from the left and dribbled forward. Niles guarded the inside defense, and James went straight down and passed.
Ye Yifeng advanced into the penalty area and failed to grab the point. David Luiz got stuck and successfully headed the ball to clear the ball.
When Arsenal's position battle reached the frontcourt, Pepe knocked the ball back diagonally to find 272, who faced McTominay looking for a pass.
As a result, B Fei sneaked in from behind and intercepted the ball.
272's strength has declined significantly in recent years, and the performance of B fee also made Mourinho secretly nod.
As a midfielder who can actively defend in front of the penalty area, this defensive awareness is what he needs.
Manchester United did not deliberately speed up, mainly because the status of James and Greenwood obviously fluctuated greatly due to continuous battles.
When James went down the left wing again, he did not pass the ball again. Instead, he chose to knock the ball back to Luke Shaw, who came up with an assist. The latter led the ball and cut inside, catching Niles off guard.
After passing Niles, Luke Xiao directly looked for Ye Yifeng, who had just entered the middle of the penalty area.
Papastathopoulos and Torreira immediately flanked Ye Yifeng, and Ye Yifeng kicked back and passed the ball to B Fee.
How strong the opponent is, and whether it is a front midfielder that can create sparks, depends on how Ye Yifeng handles the ball next.
After passing the ball, Ye Yifeng immediately turned around and ran diagonally to the left rib area of the penalty area.
When he turned around and moved forward, B Fei effortlessly kicked the ball over the top and sent the ball to the left rib of the penalty area where Ye Yifeng turned and ran.
Ye Yifeng was in a good mood.
Okay, okay, this kind of passing is indeed a bit spiritual.
David Luiz immediately pounced on Ye Yifeng.
Ye Yifeng swung his legs to face the falling football and volleyed in the air.
David Luiz immediately accelerated and stretched his legs to block Ye Yifeng's shooting route.
Unexpectedly, the moment the football fell, Ye Yifeng kicked the ball back from behind.
After crossing with David Luiz, Ye Yifeng protected the ball and made a cross move. Papastathopoulos had already returned to the defense to block the middle. When David Luiz stabilized his center of gravity and turned around to press again, Ye Yifeng unexpectedly pulled him back to the spot again. The ball turned and missed him again!
The moment he turned around and passed him, although the shooting angle was smaller than before, he was able to swing his legs fully to shoot. At the same time, goalkeeper Leno was also caught off guard and quickly blocked the near corner of the goal.
Ye Yifeng shot the ball with his left foot.
The low ball flew straight to the far corner of the goal!
Leno had no time to move down to block the angle, and Arsenal's defenders were unable to clear the ball.
The football flew into the far corner of the goal in a flash of lightning!
Ye Yifeng turned around and ran to the away team fans' stands to celebrate his goal. He waved to B Fei.
This new aid seems to be spiritual, and they may be able to do something earth-shattering together.
