Chapter 384 Confrontation Between Shooters

Henry is indeed overthinking, because he wants to win three consecutive Premier League top scorer titles, but now Dong Fangzhuo clearly threatens his position.

Although the second-placed Lampard is also very strong, Lampard is a midfielder after all. He does not believe that Lampard will reach the end. After all, he will still fall behind. Lampard only scored 17 goals after playing a full round of the league, but Dong Fangzhuo is different. In today's game, Dong Fangzhuo played 19 times and came on as a substitute 3 times. His goal data is 15.

From an efficiency point of view, Dong Fangzhuo is even better and more threatening.

He thought too much, but Dong Fangzhuo did not think too much. Although attending the European Golden Globe Award Ceremony made him feel the charm of a top star again, he did not pay so much attention to personal data. He always believed that the collective performance was still high. Regarding personal performance...

He doesn't think about the competition with Henry for the top scorer right now. Helping the team win Arsenal away from home is the most important goal.

"Thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi, both teams are now at a low ebb. Even if Manchester United and Arsenal decide the winner in this game, the real winner is still not them, but Chelsea. The army is their common enemy."

"But even if Arsenal loses hope of catching up and Manchester United still retains hope, there will be no suspicion of letting go in this game. They will still give the fans a wonderful game."

"The captains of the two teams walked at the front and led their teammates on the field. Today is also a war between China Dong and Henry. The difference in the number of goals scored between the two of them is only three goals, although I don't want to compare them two. In comparison, Henry's achievements in the Premier League are far inferior to those of Chinese Dong, but the facts are overwhelming, and we have to admit that the 20-year-old Dong seems to be launching the fiercest challenge to Henry."

"Arsenal should play 451 today, with Henry at the front, and everyone else has to make Henry's wedding dress. It can be seen from their roster, but Manchester United still insists on playing a comfortable 433."

Then, the TV screen showed the lineups of the two teams.

Arsenal (4-5-1): Lehmann/Lauren, Toure, Campbell, Sigan/Pires, Fabregas, Gilberto, Hleb, Reyes/Henry

Manchester United (4-3-3): Van der Sar/Neville, Vidic, Pique, Richardson/Fletcher, Scholes, Park Ji-sung/Cristiano Ronaldo, Dong Fangzhuo, Rooney

"Arsenal is actually playing 4231, with Cesc Fabregas and Gilberto dragging behind, Pires and Reyes in the front hanging clothes, and midfielder Hleb playing the ball for Henry. And Manchester United's tactics are nothing like that. There are no secret tactics at all, they all revolve around the front trident.

"

Manchester United is in the south and Arsenal is in the north. The eyes of Dong Fangzhuo and Henry briefly intertwined again.

He is too quiet...

For some reason, Henry felt a little confused today, and his mind was habitually focused on Dong Fangzhuo. He had observed Dong Fangzhuo several times, and every time he looked at Dong Fangzhuo, he felt that Dong Fangzhuo was acting quite calmly...

The more he thought about it, the more Henry felt that his whole body was full of strength, like a wild horse running wild, and he couldn't wait for the game to start immediately.

The last dialogue between the two teams in Highbury has officially begun!

At 20:00 local time on the 3rd, the game officially started! In the first round of the Premier League match at Highbury Stadium, Arsenal drew a goalless draw with Manchester United 0-0 at home, failing to change the league's winless record against Manchester United since May 2002.

This is the last league meeting between the two Premier League giants at Highbury. Arsenal's lineup is similar to the 4-3-2-1 used when they defeated Manchester United in the FA Cup final last season. Due to the absence of Ljungberg and Robin van Persie, Wenger chose Pires and Reyes to play on the wing, while Gilberto returned from injury.

Compared with the lineup that defeated Bolton last Saturday, Ferguson only changed one player. Park Ji-sung replaced Giggs and became the master of the left wing.

"If Arsenal cannot win Manchester United at home, it will be a regret for them, because Arsenal has not defeated Manchester United at Highbury since 2002, and today is the last chance."

In last season's confrontation, Manchester United suppressed Arsenal through fierce play, leaving Arsenal with exquisite skills at a loss. However, after the start of this campaign, Manchester United first focused on defense. The Trident were not in a hurry to press forward, but stuck to the midfield and allowed Arsenal to attack first.

If it were another team, they might not follow Manchester United's routine, but this is Arsenal and their home court.

Their captain, Henry, was the first to rush into the Manchester United formation with a gun. His goal is quite clear, not to find Vidic, but to find young Pique.

Henry!

Pique was excited, excited, and even more nervous!

It would be strange not to be nervous. In this era, after Ronaldo, Henry is almost the best striker.

To be able to go head-to-head with one of the best forwards in the world is simply the best opportunity that ever fell from the sky.

But,

His partner Vidic did not give him such a wish. Although Vidic was also tall, he moved much faster than Pique. When Henry approached the Manchester United penalty area, he followed him in a muffled voice. Pique only As a deputy general, he can support Vidic at any time...

Vidic and Pique are in danger.

So what about Toure and Campbell? In the past two years, they have each faced Dong Fangzhuo. Looking at the entire Premier League, Arsenal and Manchester United have the most confrontations, and their two central defenders are also the players who have played against Dong Fangzhuo the most. No player is more familiar with Dong Fangzhuo than them. It can be said that Dong Fangzhuo was trained in the defense of the two of them. of……

Both Henry and Dong Fangzhuo can clearly hear the accelerating heartbeat of the defender behind them.

Thump, thump...

With the rhythm of the heartbeat, the Arsenal boy took the lead in dribbling the ball towards Manchester United's left wing.

It seems that he heard Wenger's criticism before the game. Reyes proved with actions that he is not a child still in school, he can already become a general of Arsenal.

Sigan, who temporarily became the left back, passed a through ball to Reyes. Reyes took a pick, bravely took the ball over Neville's thigh, and then used his speed to rush over.

Neville didn't hesitate. The moment Reyes moved, he pushed his shoulder to the right, and Reyes' body flew out of the sideline.

The ball passes, the man stays!

Arsenal got their first free kick opportunity. Henry came to this position and glanced at Manchester United's penalty area. He only had the goal in his eyes.

"Henry."

"Can he shoot?"

"35 meters away, a bit far, but in a good position, on the left side of the penalty area."

"Shoot!"

When Lineker roared out, Henry's right-footed penalty ball went directly to Manchester United's penalty area.

But the arc was not enough, and the ball was pushed out by Pique's head!

"besides!"

"Fabregas!"

The ball pushed out by Pique was caught by Fabregas. Fabregas bent his bow sideways, tilted his body to the left, and volleyed directly towards the ball with his right foot.

The ball quickly drew an outward spin arc!

call!

Soared over Pique's head again.

Pique turned his head and looked in the direction of the ball. Van der Sar had already taken off...

"ah!"

"g!"

"g!"

"g!"
