Chapter 742 Manchester United’s plight
Chapter 742 Manchester United’s plight
Arsenal’s offensive twists and turns did not give Manchester City any respite at all.
And after Le Kai controlled the rhythm, under his leadership, Arsenal’s playing style has also become more unrestrained.
Dare to fight in the frontcourt, and the defense is stable.
Under the control of the midfield, Arsenal did not give Manchester United any chance.
Pogba feels bad, being intercepted again and again, and being forced again and again. Even if he tries hard to steal, the ball will soon be snatched back by Arsenal, and at the same time launch a quick counterattack.
Arsenal’s counterattack is really terrible!
Under repeated counterattacks and offenses, Manchester United’s defense has gradually become unable to bear the pressure.
They are in a situation where the defensive formation is torn apart at any time.
The Manchester United coaching staff and fans who watched this scene were terrified.
But they didn’t break the law to change anything.
Manchester United coach Solskjaer pursed his lips tightly, and it can be seen from his face how nervous he is.
The development of this game exceeded his expectations.
Mourinho has brought many changes to Arsenal, the most critical of which is the tactical system at the counterattack level.
In the past, Arsenal was a pass control team, and their counterattack efficiency was not so efficient.
But now Arsenal can threaten Manchester United’s goal every time they counterattack.
And if this continues, losing the ball is inevitable.
“I will find a way!”
Solskjaer forced himself to come up with a solution, but faced with such an anxious situation, his head became a little confused.
And after the most critical Pogba was suppressed, he really had no players to rely on.
At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from the scene.
Solskjaer immediately looked towards the field. He saw that Mane was entering Manchester United’s penalty area with the ball, and he was going to the meeting alone.
“what happened?”
Solskjaer was flustered.
The narrator told him the answer.
“Kai! A sharp through ball tore through Manchester United’s defense. The ball went through Pogba’s crotch and completely tore apart Manchester United’s defense. Mane single-handedly!”
The Arsenal fans at the scene cheered in surprise.
Amidst the cheers, Mane galloped fast.
Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea looked at his teammates who could no longer catch up, so he could only take the initiative to block Mane’s shooting angle as much as possible.
But he underestimated Mane’s decisiveness.
After entering the penalty area, De Gea failed to get close, so Mane completed the adjustment and pushed with one kick.
The ball slipped past De Gea’s feet.
Although De Gea made some awkward kicking reactions, it still didn’t help.
The ball rolls into the far corner.
In the first half, Arsenal scored the first goal!
“Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
“Sadio Mane! The lad from Senegal helped Arsenal score the leading goal!”
“Since this season, Mane’s performance has been getting better and better. After Aubameyang was injured, he even took on the task of Arsenal’s important offensive point!”
“He used his excellent running position and starting ability to help Arsenal score goals!”
Among the excited roar of the commentator, the Arsenal fans on the scene celebrated wildly.
The whole stand was surging like a red and white tide.
“Good job!”
“Hey! Got ahead! Hahaha!”
“Dude, you shoot so well!”
Arsenal players continued to celebrate around Mane.
At this time, Mane also had a bright smile on his face.
The shy, honest guy has his biggest smile on his face.
Now Mane is extremely grateful for his decision to join Arsenal.
Here is different from his previous experience. There is no oppression or discrimination here. As Lucky said, everyone here is looking forward to the championship and fighting for it.
Mane likes this atmosphere, and he is trying his best to integrate into this team.
he thought, he’s doing a good job now!
“Okay guys, proper celebration, time to head back!”
Lucky called his teammates to stop, and finally gave Mane a hug.
The Arsenal players jogged towards their own half.
Mourinho on the sidelines had a smile on his face.
Although he has a certain degree of confidence in the game, no football game can give Mourinho a sense of security. Only after scoring a goal can he get a little comfort.
At the same time, Mourinho also lamented Mane’s performance.
Since this season, Mane’s performance has become better and better.
He can become an auxiliary player on the wing, and he can also accept offensive tasks, and the transfer fee does not cost much.
It can be called cheap and easy to use.
At this time, Mourinho no longer thinks about Mahrez.
Although the opponent’s performance in Manchester City is not bad, even if Mahrez comes to Arsenal, he may not necessarily do better than Mane.
Fortunately, he didn’t have a **** situation with Manchester City, which allowed him to pick up a bargain for nothing.
Mane fully meets the vision of a wide player in Mourinho’s mind.
Speed, skill, stable shooting and active running, these are what Mourinho values most.
And Mane just met all the conditions.
Isn’t this kind of player good?
Arsenal is leading, and Manchester United’s situation has become even more uncomfortable.
The Manchester United fans who came to watch the away game have lost their voices.
They looked a little sad. After all, judging from their previous performances, they really couldn’t find a comeback point.
Count on Pogba?
Do not!
This guy is already on the verge of breaking down.
Trust no one and don’t trust Pogba.
He doesn’t have the ability to turn the tide.
So, who does Manchester United rely on?
Boom!
Arsenal’s goal shakes violently, which shows how powerful the shot is.
Hummels stood aside, while Jimenez fell to the ground.
The two looked at Ibrahimovic who got up from the ground, with extremely solemn expressions on their faces.
A long pass from Manchester United’s backcourt, Ibrahimovic completed the volley under the pressure of the two.
If the ball is under pressure a little bit, Arsenal will be equalized.
Lucky also stopped slowly.
He looked at Ibrahimovic who got up from the ground, with a slanted height, a high nose bridge and eagle-like eyes.
All this is telling everyone how rebellious this Swede is.
Ibrahimovic’s gaze was strongly aggressive.
After Manchester United fell behind, it was this old center who broke out, which is really surprising.
But Le Kai is also very aware of the strength of this man.
A 40-year-old man who can lead AC Milan to win the Serie A championship in Serie A, this guy is indeed an extremely difficult role.
Of course, in this environment, it is necessary to further cut off the connection between Ibrahimovic and the midfield.
Thinking of this, Le Kai took the initiative to retreat.
On the sidelines, Mourinho also stood up to remind Lucy to retreat.
But before shouting out, he saw Le Kai’s move, and Mourinho couldn’t help but nodded.
In fact, there are still some similarities between Mourinho and Lucky.
For example, both of them are divided slaves!
In the lead situation, the first priority is to defend.
Only when the defense is solid will you consider the offense, otherwise you won’t be able to kill half the game.
Lucky’s retreat will inevitably make Manchester United’s long pass difficult to penetrate.
Le Kai is inseparable from Ibrahimovic.
As long as the opponent walks out of the back line, Lucky will definitely post it.
Arsenal is going to block all Ibrahimovic’s receiving space for him.
And Ibrahimovic also felt this, the shot just now did have an effect.
But it seems to be counterproductive.
It failed to achieve the deterrent effect, but it made Arsenal play more cautiously.
But Manchester United still try to find Ibrahimovic, after all, this may be their last chance.
Another long pass.
Both Le Kai and Ibrahimovic ran out of the top fight.
Ibrahimovic is definitely a ruthless character.
Before take-off, Ibrahimovic had already braced his elbow. On the one hand, he hindered Le Kai’s take-off, and on the other hand, as long as the latter took off, he dared to take an elbow.
But Lucky still took off.
And the take-off distance is relatively far away, but he relies on his powerful ability to stay in the air to move laterally to the ball’s landing point, and directly pushes the ball out before Ibrahimovic.
Looking at Le Kai’s handling method, Ibrahimovic was really stunned.
He thought about fouling or any dangerous action, but he didn’t think that Lucky would destroy it in this way.
But even Zlatan Ibrahimovic needs to admit that the ball is so beautifully solved!
