Chapter 103 Who Is the Rookie?

We still remember that game in September, when Manchester United won 2-0 at home. Dong Fangzhuo created a penalty and scored a goal to end Arsenal's 49 league unbeaten games.

More than two months later, they met again.

In the player channel, there was no communication between the two sides.

Wenger's expression was serious, and when he saw Ferguson, he deliberately chose to avoid it. Wenger doesn't have any good feelings for Manchester United now, and he probably finds it annoying to see it.

Arsenal's starting lineup has made several adjustments, the goalkeeper is Lehmann, and Campbell is replaced by Sandros at the center back.

In the midfielder position, Flamini partnered with Vieira.

Reyes replaced Pires in the starting right-midfield position, and Henry partnered with a young Van Persie on the forward line.

The combination of old and new is very reasonable.

Manchester United is actually the same. Keane is injured, and Fletcher is still the main midfielder. This is a relatively weak position for Manchester United, but it is the position of the midfielder that is the most deadly, so Ferguson puts more emphasis on quick balls from the backcourt. .

On the forward line, Arsenal has Thierry Henry, but with the young Robin van Persie, while Manchester United has Wayne Rooney and Dong Fangzhuo. On paper, Arsenal must have the upper hand. However, in the last match, Henry was watched by Ferdinand and did not show any performance. Being famous may not necessarily be able to score.

Henry must have held his breath and wanted to break through the door of Manchester United, but today he has to deal with Brown, who has a fierce style of play.

Brown has always been a good player, but his career was basically ruined by injuries. His old ailment is that he often injured his ankles. He spent more than half of his career recuperating from his injuries. This time he was entrusted by Ferguson with important tasks. That's half the battle.

As soon as they walked out of the player tunnel, the Arsenal players were immediately booed by Old Trafford. These years, Manchester United and Arsenal have been fighting for hegemony, and the fans will not be polite to their opponents.

"Hey Patrick, do you have your napkin ready?"

"Remember, come here to get it when you cry."

Hearing these harsh words, Vieira remained unmoved and tried his best to restrain the restlessness in his heart. If this game is stupid again, Arsenal will not be worth the loss, and it is impossible to be irritated by a few ugly words.

Although it was only a League Cup match, it was a heavyweight matchup, with Old Trafford packed to the brim, no less than a Premier League match.

The spinach company is still optimistic that Manchester United can win Arsenal at home.

"Both teams want to win, and whoever loses will bid farewell to the League Cup, but for both sides, no one wants to lose to the other. Especially Arsenal, if they can win Manchester United, they will get out of the recent bad state. But Manchester United is not Manchester City, although Arsenal eliminated Manchester City in the last round of the League Cup, it does not mean that they can eliminate Manchester United."

The head referee of this game also had a very serious expression. Before the game started, he actually called all the starting players of both sides together and explained a few words.

The content is probably that his whistleblowing will be very strict, so I hope everyone pays attention to their actions during the game, and he will not allow any player to make excessive actions.

"Rookie!"

After the referee left, Gary Neville muttered, only a rookie referee would explain this to them before the game! He exposed his own thoughts in advance.

The game process is unpredictable, how can you control it?

So when we cheered together hand in hand with everyone in the middle circle, Neville explained, "Don't listen to that guy's nonsense, you have to kick as you want, and don't let the other party jump up!"

Jiang is still old and hot. The referee thought that giving the players vaccinations in advance could control the game, but he didn't expect that Neville would not follow him at all.

Game start.

Dong Fangzhuo immediately rushed into the hinterland of Arsenal.

Soon, a player defending him came up beside him.

Not Kolo Toure, but a young Sandros.

Sandros replaced the injured Campbell in the starting lineup and formed Arsenal's central partner with Kolo Toure.

He is only one year older than Dong Fangzhuo.

Although Sandros is only 20 years old, it does not mean that he has little combat experience. At the age of 17, he led the Swiss youth team to win the European championship as the captain, and then he was noticed by the major European giants, and finally came to the Arsenal team.

At this time, Campbell happened to be injured, and he was able to continue to start the game.

His task today is to keep an eye on Dong Fangzhuo, who is also young. This must have been done on purpose by Wenger.

Like Manchester United's central defender Brown, Sandros is also a bald, very aggressive guy.

His physical condition is excellent, and his header ability is particularly outstanding. He can make a clearance when defending, and can also help Arsenal score goals when attacking.

The Swiss defender is fierce and tenacious in defense, but the downside is that his skills are relatively rough and his performance on the field is a bit frizzy.

Excellent awareness of position selection, good stealing ability, coupled with excellent speed, can be said to be a combination of speed and strength and a very lethal central defender.

This is Sandros' investigation report given by the coaching staff before the start of the game.

It can be said that Sandros is very capable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a genius who became famous at a young age.

But what Dong Fangzhuo paid attention to was not his strengths, but his weaknesses.

Sandros is a young, edgy guy who likes to put in assists and that's more than enough for him...

Wenger asked Sandros to watch Dong Fangzhuo, that is to say, he has a good position, fast speed, and fierce moves. It seems that he is enough to deal with Dong Fangzhuo.

However, what Wenger couldn't imagine was that Dong Fangzhuo wasn't really a teenager. He was actually a quack, cunning and cunning, far more complicated than he imagined.

So Dong Fangzhuo was full of confidence in dealing with Sandros.

There is a little tender melon behind him, no longer the old Campbell, which makes Dong Fangzhuo very comfortable.

For Dong Fangzhuo, Sandros is also a rookie, and it is too easy to deal with rookies.

Although Sandros was closely attached to him, Dong Fangzhuo kept making small moves and harassing Sandros without the ball.

When getting in position, Wu Shi lightly gave Sandros two elbows, which was not painful and not conspicuous. When turning around, he grabbed Sandros's clothes and held on. When moving, Wu Shi hooked up Sandros' thighs.

Anyway, Sandros never stopped being fucked by Dong Fangzhuo ten minutes before the opening.

Is this guy here to play football or to cause trouble?

"Rookie, you're going to cry!"

Dong Fangzhuo had a great time, remembering what Manchester United fans said to Vieira at the player tunnel, he moved it intact to provoke Sandros.

Falk.

Who is the rookie?

Sandros thought it was funny. It was ridiculous to say this sentence from a player younger than him.

"You wait, shameful rookie, I will teach you how to be a man in a while, don't think that your little tricks can annoy me."

"You're going to die an ugly death."
