Chapter 107: A Greenhouse Cannot Grow Tough Flowers

Arsenal's second goal was followed by halftime.

The two sides returned to the locker room.

The Sky Sports commentator continued to analyze the game.

"Judging from the current situation, Solskjaer placed a large number of players in the midfield, but failed to achieve very good results. Arsenal did not play with Manchester United to steal the midfield rhythm, but focused on defense. On counterattack, they don’t want the ball, but counterattacks can always push the offense into dangerous areas.”

Paul Mawson said; "Manchester United need to make some changes in this regard."

"If breaking through Arsenal's defense is a very acute problem and that problem is not solved, there will be no follow-up."

Carragher was straightforward.

"They still play too relaxed in the midfield." Neville said angrily: "They should be more fierce and aggressive. Looking at the current Manchester United players, I really don't know how to evaluate them. If it is still the Jazz In coaching, he can probably bring down the whole team and start over.”

Dixon: "He won't build such a team either!"

Everyone agreed.

"Let's talk about the young player Odegaard. Continuing his previous wonderful performance, Odegaard scored a goal with a penalty kick in this game, a wonderful push from the middle!"

Hearing this, Neville's expression turned bad again.

"My evaluation of this young player is very simple. He is happy!" Carragher shrugged: "He is really happy. When he joined Arsenal, the Gunners won the league championship, and now they are even more successful. With a strong performance to reach the Champions League, with such strong teammates around him, and with Kai leading him to play, he is an absolute lucky guy!”

Dixon: "In the previous Arsenal, Vieira played with Cesc Fabregas, but now Kai plays with Odegaard. This can be regarded as a way of training for Arsenal."

"Both Cesc Fabregas and Odegaard are lucky people!"

"But tough flowers can never be grown in a greenhouse!" Neville directly poured cold water on him; "I don't like Arsenal very much, but I agree with Kai very much. He is a real tough guy!"

"As you said, both Cesc Fabregas and Odegaard grew up in a comfortable environment."

"When Cesc Fabregas played for Arsenal, they had top players like Henry and Vieira in the team, as did Odegaard. But we are looking back at Kai's growth experience!"

Neville shrugged; "It is clear at a glance that Cesc Fabregas has enjoyed Arsenal's dividends and grown into an outstanding midfielder, but he will never become the top one! And when Kay joined Arsenal, he was another what's the situation?"

"Fabregas has just left, and Nasri has also left Arsenal. The departure of these two powerful players has reduced Arsenal's combat effectiveness too much!"

"Van Persie worked hard for a season and finally left. It can be said that this period is Arsenal's darkest moment!"

"At that time, Kai, who was only 20 years old, was forced to carry the team forward. He was the youngest captain of Arsenal, but he was also a real fighter!"

“His environment gave him such a strong character.”

Neville was full of praise for Lucky. Even Carragher, who was arguing with Neville, saw Neville praise a player like this for the first time.

The surprised expressions of the crowd made Neville helpless and said: "It's not like I don't know how to praise others. At least we can't find anything wrong with Kai. The only problem for me is that it was Manchester United who played with Sporting CP. This way the Jazz can bring Kai to Manchester United instead of Arsenal!"

"Hey!"

This time Dixon shouted in dissatisfaction.

Lucky is now the spiritual leader of Arsenal, you can't make a joke about it.

But Neville still went his own way: "At the beginning, when Kai was worth 30 million, we should have bought him, even if we paid twice as much."

While everyone was talking, the intermission passed quietly.

When players from both sides returned to the field, there were no substitutions on either side.

Seeing this, Neville couldn't help but roared:

"Why don't you make a substitution? Lingard is useless!"

Others couldn't help laughing.

In the camera, Lingard looks innocent.

This is also the expression he often has when facing difficulties, as if it's none of my business.

Manchester United did not make any substitutions, which caused some discussion.

For Manchester United fans, under current circumstances, the situation will be better if Mata is replaced.

But Solskjaer obviously still trusts these Manchester United players.

Manchester United did not make any substitutions, and Arsenal will naturally not make any substitutions.

But everyone noticed that Saka, another young Arsenal player, started to warm up.

This indicates that the Arsenal twins will reunite again in this game.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought.

Arsenal took the lead.

“Watch my position and I’ll get out of space and look for opportunities to pass to me.”

Rashford reminded his teammates again and again.

Although he was not very confident in his teammates, after all, he did not receive a comfortable pass throughout the first half.

After the start of the second half, both sides immediately picked up the pace.

After falling behind, Manchester United wanted to quickly get back a goal.

Arsenal, on the other hand, used counterattacks to continuously accelerate and break through Manchester United's defense.

In this case, the busiest person is De Gea.

He blocked the ball with a high catch, and blocked many shots for Manchester United again.

But if this continues, Manchester United will not see a good turnaround.

The confrontation and rhythm in the game are very fast.

Amid the fierce cheers of the fans on the scene, the players on both sides are shouting loudly.

In this case, physical confrontation and fouls are bound to be no less.

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United received two yellow cards.

Obviously, they fouled purposefully and targetedly.

Their target is almost all on Aubameyang, and they think Arsenal's left wing is their main breakthrough point.

But soon, Arsenal began to switch to attacking on the right wing.

This made Manchester United's efforts come to nothing.

"It's really tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall!"

Zhan Jun shook his head, Manchester United's defense gave him this feeling.

You can't take care of the head and the tail, and you can't take care of the front and the back!

The defense is in a panic.

Although Arsenal was barely defended, there is always a risk of being thundered.

Even if a certain point is exploded by a single point, Manchester United's defense will basically collapse.

In this situation, Manchester United's attack is still going on.

They have no way back.

If they lose the game at home, they will definitely be criticized by Manchester United fans.

Instead of focusing on defense, it is better to take a chance.

In the fierce attacks again and again, Manchester United finally relied on Rashford's long shot to get the first corner kick in the second half.

This is also their third corner kick in this game.

In contrast, Arsenal has 9 corner kicks.

It can be seen how big the gap between the two sides' offensive is.

Manchester United wants to seize this opportunity.

Arsenal also keeps a close eye on dangerous players such as Smalling and Rashford.

At this time, Manchester United players kicked off.

The ball flew to the back point.

Lekai made a quick judgment and turned his head to rush over.

He saw Lingard standing there, making a shooting motion.

But the next second, Lekai rushed to the other side.

With his foresight talent, he knew it was a fake shot and a real pass.

He was going to intercept.

Lingard also saw Lucky's movements, and panic suddenly appeared in his eyes.

This also caused his right foot to be directly bye while swinging!

He was bye!

Lucky was stunned on the spot.

The ball hit Lingard's supporting leg and slowly rolled into the goal.

A very unexpected goal.

A dramatic goal.

Lucky looked at the goal silently, and at the same time looked at Lingard.

And Lingard also looked at Lucky, he felt that Lucky's eyes looking at him were a little strange.

However, he quickly reacted.

He scored!

He scored a goal for Manchester City.

In the second half, 55 minutes, Manchester United scored a goal only ten minutes after the game started.

Although this goal was an accident no matter how you look at it.

On the Sky Sports commentary desk, the four commentators were silent.

Neville should have been happy, but seeing such a goal, he couldn't be happy.

Is this really a Manchester United player?

This goal was completely an accident.

Are you playing soccer?

How can this go in?
