Chapter 560 The gunman who does not believe in evil

November 3, 12:45 noon, Old Trafford Stadium.

In the first game of the 10th round of the Premier League, the Red Devils Manchester United faced the Gunners Arsenal at home.

This is another confrontation between the strongest spear and the strongest shield. Manchester United leads the Premier League scoring charts with 35 goals in 9 league games, while Arsenal has become the best defense in the Premier League with only conceding 6 goals in 9 games.

Arsenal has performed poorly this season. They only scored 15 points in 9 league rounds and were 12 points behind the leader Manchester United. Although they are currently ranked fourth in the league, there is a 6-point gap with Manchester City, which is third in the league. If Arsenal can beat Manchester United away from home, they can still retain one point of hope of winning the league. However, if they lose the game at Old Trafford, they will be 15 points behind in 10 league games and will completely bid farewell to the league championship. scramble.

In the League Cup in midweek, Manchester United almost rotated the entire lineup, and this game naturally had the strongest lineup. Coupled with the fact that it was a home game, everyone believed that Manchester United's opening tactics were more proactive.

But in fact, Arsenal had already prepared. In the past three seasons, Manchester United has made a strong start in the Premier League. Since the start of the 2010-2011 season, in 85 Premier League games, Manchester United has a record of 73 wins, 10 draws and 2 losses, with a winning rate of 86% and an unbeaten rate of 98%!

Especially at Old Trafford, Manchester United's record in the last 42 Premier League games is 39 wins and 3 draws, making it the most terrifying devil's home stadium in Europe. When any team comes here, they will feel scared at first, and the tactics they adopt are more defensive and counterattack.

Arsenal's defense this season is still good and it is the best defense in the Premier League. However, their offensive ability is not satisfactory. They only scored 14 goals in 9 Premier League games. Among the 20 teams in the Premier League, they are tied for seventh place with Southampton and Swansea. They can only be regarded as mid-range. , completely inconsistent with the gorgeous football that Arsenal has always left to the world, but it really happened to Arsenal.

Under such circumstances, people thought that Arsenal would choose conservative tactics at Old Trafford. However, when the game started, Wenger's team turned away from home and took the initiative from the start.

But this played into Manchester United's hands. After all, with Arsenal's defensive ability in the previous nine rounds, they played more conservatively at Old Trafford. Manchester United might still have a headache, but they took the initiative to attack. But it is the situation that Manchester United hopes to see the most.

………………

Only 3 minutes into the game, Arsenal paid the price for their disbelief.

Manchester United launched a high-speed counterattack. First, Bell dribbled the ball forward at high speed from the backcourt. As he approached the center circle, he encountered an interception from Arsenal. However, Bell took the lead and moved the ball to the center.

After Sneijder received the ball, he distributed the ball to the right. Rooney attacked with the ball, and Rafael followed up.

When Rooney encountered an Arsenal defensive player, he chose to knock the ball to Rafael, and the two completed a beautiful one-two.

Raphael dribbled the ball and made a pass. Vermaelen made a mistake in clearing the ball in front of the penalty area. Van Persie volleyed into the net from 18 yards. Manchester United led Arsenal 1:0.

This is Van Persie's eighth Premier League goal this season. The Dutch forward refused to celebrate after scoring.

This goal was a slap in the face to Arsenal, who was stunned. In the next few minutes, they didn't come back to their senses.

The pace of the game on the court also slowed down slightly.

It wasn't until the 10th minute of the game that Arsenal attacked Manchester United's half again, and their left back Santos took a long shot from 30 meters away. It's just that this shot went a little too far, and De Gea didn't even move while standing in front of the goal.

………………

Manchester United continued to dominate the situation on the field, while Arsenal was completely suppressed.

The score was behind and the situation on the field was in an unfavorable state, which made Arsenal's players very depressed. And their midfielder Wilshere's performance is particularly obvious.

In the 14th minute, Manchester United launched a wave of attacks in the frontcourt. Sneijder used a beautiful Marseille spin to get rid of Wilshere. This made the Arsenal midfielder feel very unhappy. He directly made a flying tackle from behind and knocked down Sneijder. Ned.

Regarding the opponent's foul, the Old Trafford stands were booed, and Manchester United players also put pressure on the referee Mike Dean, hoping to punish Wilshere heavily. However, Dean only gave Wilshere a yellow card in the end, which made Manchester United players and more than 70,000 home fans very unhappy.

However, Wilshere's yellow card made the Arsenal players sober up a lot, and their actions were smaller in the next game.

Manchester United continued to put pressure on Arsenal and almost expanded the score just 20 minutes into the game.

In the 21st minute, Bell took the ball from the left and suddenly moved the ball to the center, finding Rooney who had switched to the center. Lu Xiaopang did not want to take credit, but immediately transferred again and passed it to the feet of Van Persie who was pulled to the right.

Van Persie received a pass from Rooney on the right side of the penalty area. He chose to volley directly without stopping the ball. The ball roared straight towards the Arsenal goal.

This shot was so threatening that the Manchester United fans in the stands were ready to jump up to celebrate the goal, but they did not expect that Arsenal goalkeeper Mannone showed a very high level and flew to save the ball from the baseline.

………………

Arsenal gradually regained their composure and played some threatening offense. The situation on the court became stalemate, with both sides going back and forth. Although both sides took a lot of shots, they were unable to change the score.

Seeing that the first half of the game was about to end, Manchester United, led by Bell, once again launched a fierce attack towards Arsenal's goal.

In the 45th minute, the fourth official stood on the sidelines to adjust the injury time sign.

Manchester United once again launched an offensive on the left. Evra and Bell completed a cooperation. Bell broke through Sagna's defense with the ball and then went straight to the Arsenal penalty area.

The Arsenal midfielder hurried over to cover, but Bale suddenly took off his foot and crossed the ball. This caught Cazorla off guard and used a volleyball movement to intercept the ball.

Mike Dean did not hesitate to award the penalty kick, and the Arsenal players did not bother too much because Cazorla's handball foul was too obvious.

Rooney wanted to take the penalty kick, but Bell had no intention of giving up the ball. Because Lu Xiaopang's penalty kicks are really unreliable, Bell seems to remember that his penalty kick scoring rate is not as good as Messi's.

Bell stood in front of the ball and scored the ball into Arsenal's goal without any suspense. The score on the field became 2:0!

When Bell converted the penalty kick, the first half time was over. Mike Dean directly blew the half-time whistle and did not continue to add time.

………………

After the halftime break, the game restarted and neither side chose to make substitutions.

Arsenal kicked off, and Manchester United immediately chose to attack. Gunners center back and new captain Vermaelen looked very nervous when facing old captain Robin Van Persie, and his dribbling was a little confusing, but Van Persie directly completed the steal.

After Van Persie grabbed the ball, he immediately distributed the ball to the right. Because the interception was so sudden, neither player reacted, so when Rooney received Robin van Persie's pass on the right, he was already facing the goal alone.

However, Lu Xiaopang was obviously not mentally prepared, and the shot that was so close at hand actually missed the target, making the eyes of the more than 70,000 Red Devils fans in the Old Trafford stands almost fall out.

Ferguson on the sidelines was also stunned by this, and then became furious. He stood up and ran to the sidelines, and spat at Rooney who was running back.

Having just missed the opportunity to help the team seal the victory, Lu Xiaopang felt uneasy. Naturally, he did not dare to be dissatisfied at all with Sir Alex's reprimand, and returned to the midfield with his head hanging down.

Two minutes later, Manchester United made a comeback again. Bell broke through from the left and saw that the chance of crossing was not good, so he chose to pass the ball in an inverted triangle to the front of the penalty area.

Modric, who came in from behind, was 25 meters away from the goal. He met Bell's pass and fired a shot. The ball roared straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

Mannone had no time to react this time, because when Bell broke through, he chose to block the near corner. As a result, Bell chose to pass back, and Modric shot immediately. Mannone had no time to return to his position.

However, the Old Trafford goal frame stood up to cause trouble with Manchester United again. Modric's shot hit the intersection of the crossbar and the post, and then bounced high off the baseline.

………………

Wenger was too passive on the court, which made Wenger unable to sit still. In the 52nd minute, he replaced Ramsey with Walcott to strengthen his offensive capabilities on the wing, hoping to open up the situation from the wing.

Wenger's substitution has a good effect. The little tiger just came on for 2 minutes and almost helped Arsenal regain a victory.

In the 54th minute, Walcott dribbled the ball at high speed. After attracting Rafael's defensive attention, he chose to pass the ball forward. Santos stepped in, dribbled the ball to the bottom line and chose to cross. , Giroud turned and shot from the left side of the penalty area and hit the near post.

The French center seemed very polite. Manchester United had just hit the goalpost. He did not want Arsenal to take advantage of Manchester United and immediately hit the goalpost in return.

However, when it was Manchester United's turn to attack again, they were no longer polite to Arsenal.

In the 66th minute, Bell made a pass from the left side of the frontcourt. Van Persie countered offside and shot a single shot from 12 yards, but Mannone saved the ball.

Bell walked to the corner flag area to take a corner kick, but the Arsenal penalty area was a mess, with players from both sides fighting. It took a lot of effort for Mike Dean to control both sides.

Then Bell took a tactical corner kick, Rooney made a pass from the left side of the frontcourt, Evra scored with a header, and Manchester United expanded the score.

3:0, Manchester United has completely secured the victory!
