Chapter 233 Kill Arsenal

Lehmann was unable to make a save at Changhong's goal, and could only watch the ball go into the net.

Looking up at the ball that was still bouncing in the net, the 36-year-old Lehmann had a flash of loneliness in his eyes. Losing this ball meant that Arsenal was accelerating away from the FA Cup championship.

Being two goals behind and facing Manchester United, everyone knows exactly what this means.

But no one had any way to stop this lost ball, because when Dong Fangzhuo took the ball and shot, no one could get close to Dong Fangzhuo at the first time. Dong Fangzhuo's shooting space was too big, even if he didn't prepare for long, but the shooting action Quite a natural stretch.

"When did Xiaodong's toes become so hard?"

"The roster for the World Youth Championship will be announced soon. If he fails to qualify for the World Youth Championship, the Chinese team will be in trouble. These young players in the country are all good and may achieve good results."

The coach of the National Youth Team, Krauchen, has not yet announced the roster of the National Youth Team, so Chinese fans are speculating whether Dong Fangzhuo can follow the team to the World Youth Championship in the Netherlands. The most important reason is that Dong Fangzhuo has now become the main force of the national team. There is a conflict between the World Cup qualifiers and the World Youth Championship. Another reason is that the main force of a national team will play in the World Youth Championship, which seems unlikely.

"Don't think too early. Maybe he won't be able to go to the national team or the World Youth Championship. In the last game against Saudi Arabia, Dong Fangzhuo's move to push away Ali Han was now being investigated by the Football Association. Dong Fangzhuo may be banned from the national team. Refuse. Ali Han actually has a very tough character. If he really rejects Xiao Dong, he will be rejected."

"This is a good thing. He can calmly go to the Germans' tent."

"But what if the Football Association doesn't even give a chance to the World Youth Championship?"

"..."

At halftime, Manchester United entered the locker room with a 2:0 score. Ferguson had been emphasizing man-to-man defense and then quickly launched a counterattack. After all, with two goals in hand, Arsenal will definitely attack to the death. Manchester United's first priority is to defend well, and then engage in defensive counterattacks.

※※※※

In the Arsenal dressing room, all the troops left. Under normal circumstances, Vieira likes to be the last one to walk out of the dressing room at halftime, but today Henry dragged him to the end.

"Patrick."

"Is that thing true?"

"What?" I asked knowingly.

Vieira was about to take a step when he heard Henry's question.

This problem cannot be escaped sooner or later.

He stopped and looked at Henry seriously.

"Yes, I think there is no challenge in the Premier League. I want a change of environment. I want the Champions League."

Facing his friends, Vieira did not hide anything and spoke frankly about his thoughts. After so many years in the Premier League and winning so many championships, including the Premier League, League Cup, FA Cup and even the Community Shield, the Champions League that he wanted most was not available.

The forty-nine unbeaten games last season originally allowed him to find confidence, but this season's consecutive losses in all competitions made him lose hope of the Champions League.

In addition, Juventus is such a tempting team that almost all the best players in the world have gone there. He felt he should leave and become a member of Juventus.

Henry was silent for a long time, thinking about Vieira's words in his heart, and finally uttered only one sentence.

"Let's play the last game well."

He didn't say championship because there was no hope now. He wanted to play, but it was unrealistic.

The two people were the last to walk out of the tunnel, and everyone had already walked onto the court. Vieira glanced at Henry and hurriedly walked to the court, while Henry could only walk to the bench from the other side.

Henry knows that once Vieira leaves, he will be the next captain of the Gunners, but now, he is not happy at all.

The big battle is ahead, but you can only watch the team fall behind 0:2 from the bench!

Old comrades Ljungberg and Edu have all warmed up, and Dutch boy Robin van Persie also took off his coat on the sidelines.

The old is old, the young is young, Arsenal's future looks a bit vague. Manchester United seems to have completed the inheritance and handover.

The 28-year-old Henry seems to have been infected by Vieira's emotions...

No,

It shouldn't be like this.

Henry shook his head in his mind.

Get rid of that bad thought quickly.

The game restarted in the second half, and soon,

Bang bang bang bang——

The sky began to rain, falling on Wenger's body, making Wenger's shoulders feel a little heavy. He did not walk back to the coaching bench, but walked towards Edu who was warming up in the drizzle, and he said something.

It looked like he was going to make a move, and sure enough he replaced the young Cesc Fabregas not long after.

"Fasciano's performance in this game can simply be described as a disaster. A mistake indirectly allowed Manchester United to score the first goal, and in conceding the second goal, he also had a considerable responsibility in the penalty area. Of course, His partner Vieira was not much better, because the two of them performed poorly in the middle, allowing Manchester United's little guys to do whatever they wanted in attack."

"But I think Wenger also has a certain amount of responsibility. Although Fabregas has played a lot this season, he hasn't played much game time. If he is suddenly allowed to start in this most critical final, he will definitely not be able to perform better than expected. Good." Lineker analyzed the reasons for Cesc Fabregas' poor performance.

But if Wenger hears this, Wenger will definitely have to curse. He doesn’t want Fabregas to start, but Edu has just recovered from injury. He can’t let Edu take risks. It’s different now, he must It's better to let Edu come up than to have Cesc Fabregas be confused on the court.

Wenger had no choice but to use everyone who could be used. After Edu came up, Arsenal still tried to speed up the attack, but the speed never picked up. Manchester United held the backcourt very firmly.

Wenger then brought on Ljungberg and replaced Gilberto. After thinking about it, he simply brought Van Persie on. Van Persie came on and replaced Reyes instead of Bergkamp. At the critical moment, Wenger still chose to believe in the veteran, even though Bergkamp was 36 years old. Leave him on the field.

The 21-year-old Van Persie got an opportunity as soon as he came on the field. He gave Heinze a blow when he came up. He received Edu's overhead pass from the right and easily got rid of Heinze and passed the ball to the middle. But his problem Like Reyes, they did not fully consider the possibility of Bergkamp competing with United defenders for a header in the center.

However, the ball is still at the feet of the Arsenal players. After Edu came up, he obviously cooperated with Vieira more tacitly. The midfield was at least organized. Manchester United's counterattack was temporarily unable to start, so they simply defended in the backcourt. Seeing that all Manchester United players except Dong Fangzhuo ran back, Arsenal pressed even further forward. Except for Kolo Toure and Senderos, who were left to guard Dong Fangzhuo, everyone else pressed forward.

Ashley Cole and Lauren on the left and right wings rushed forward. Arsenal needed goals now, two goals, and they had to do it. Manchester United's two wings were severely tested, and they were constantly being passed by the outnumbered Arsenal players.

But Arsenal's biggest weakness is the striker. Neither Bergkamp nor Van Persie can take advantage of the competition. Therefore, they have no time to attack from the wing, and they cannot solve the problem of scoring goals by going to the center.

They pressed Manchester United for more than 20 minutes to no avail. Time faded minute by minute, but the score was still 0:2. And Manchester United's counterattacks from time to time can't cause any trouble. After all, Manchester United now has two goals in hand. Even if they don't score, it doesn't matter. They just need to bite the score.

The United players were united and guarded the center, which meant that Arsenal had nothing to do.

"Missing Henry!"

"If Henry is on the field, Manchester United will definitely find opportunities if they stay so defensive, but now..." Ian Wright tapped the table in anguish, almost not letting himself go on the field to play. "At the end of this season, there may be many People are leaving Arsenal, and Arsenal, like Manchester United, needs to make big changes. But Manchester United is obviously already ahead of the curve, and next season, it is very likely that Chelsea will still rule the roost."

Dong Fangzhuo's performance in the second half was a little too calm. That was because his teammates did not support him enough. Ronaldo and Rooney are basically busy defending and rarely get a chance to counterattack. Manchester United actually relied on the three of them to carry out quick counterattacks to sneak attack Arsenal in this game. This was the case with the first two goals, but Arsenal Na didn't give them a third chance.

If Arsenal concede another goal, Arsenal will be completely out of luck. So no matter how reluctant Senderos and Kolo Toure are to stay with Dong Fangzhuo, they still have to keep an eye on Dong Fangzhuo. This is their only mission.

But now that the team is lagging behind, they are not in a good mood.

Contrary to them, as a striker, Dong Fangzhuo's most important task is to score goals. He is eager to score the third goal, but it depends on whether Manchester United has a chance to counterattack and whether he can break through Sandros. And Kolo Toure is also important.

During this period, Arsenal's midfield and backfield were really too quiet.

Arsenal finally gave up on the two wings and instead sought opportunities in the middle. The ball kept flowing to Bergkamp's feet. It seemed that Arsenal had regained their mercury-like gorgeous offense. In the 74th minute, Bergkamp, ​​Ljungberg and Vieira played a beautiful collaboration in front of Manchester United's penalty area. The three of them passed the ball continuously in front of Manchester United's penalty area.

Finally, Bergkamp passed the ball to the unguarded Van Persie, who followed up with a blast.

As a result, Van Persie actually missed such a beautiful goal opportunity?

"God, is he a striker? How can Arsenal win if we miss such an opportunity? Is this really Henry's successor?" Best couldn't help but mock.

In an instant, Manchester United quickly kicked the ball out. Brown handed the ball to Ronaldo. Ronaldo quickly broke in from the right. Edu and Ashley Cole double-teamed Ronaldo at the same time. Not only did Ronaldo not pass, but the ball It was also handed to Ashley Cole. Ashley Cole handed the ball to Vieira. Vieira passed through the middle. Bergkamp knocked his heel and passed the ball to Van Persie again. Van Persie While leaning on Sylvester with difficulty, he shot with his left foot, and the ball slid out!

"Hey!" Rooney's voice rang loudly on the court. The ball at Ronaldo's feet was intercepted so suddenly that before Rooney could get back in place, Van Persie had already shot. Now is a good opportunity to counterattack.

Howard heard Rooney's call, picked up the ball from the baseline, immediately threw it on the turf, and drove the ball towards Rooney with a big kick.

Rooney is not as delicate as Ronaldo. He hit the ball with his big foot and directly knocked out Ljungberg. If the young Ljungberg wanted more, he would not be afraid of competing with Rooney for speed, but Ljungberg at this age? I can only watch the ball and sigh...

Watching Rooney gallop towards Arsenal!

Dong Fangzhuo led Senderos and Kolo Toure towards the middle, and Cristiano Ronaldo on the right also rushed forward on the right!

Another quick counterattack.

Lauren faced Rooney. Rooney didn't make any fake moves at all. He dunked directly to the right and quickly went to the middle.

3vs3!

It seems that once they get such a counterattack opportunity, Rooney, Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo can have no worries about the opponent's defense.

Senderos had to break away from Dong Fangzhuo's defense and pounce on Rooney. Dong Fangzhuo pulled Kolo Toure to run to the right, while Ronaldo had already led Ashley Cole to the right side of the penalty area.

Facing Sandros, Rooney did not choose to pass the ball to Dong Fangzhuo and others as partners. Instead, he decisively dunked with his right foot and reached the left side of Arsenal's penalty area.

Boom——

The spiking and shooting movements were done in one go, quite coherently, without any frustration at all!

"Goal!"

"Goooooooooooal!"

"Goooooooooooooooooooooal!"

"3:0! Manchester United 3:0, Manchester United will definitely win, the game ends early!" Lineker shouted, announcing Arsenal's death sentence in advance.

"The Manchester United trident each scored a goal and completely killed Arsenal!"
