What is a destructive midfielder?

Chapter 249 The Gunner Fights the Red Devils (Daily Transition)

The grudge between Arsenal and Manchester United?
The 2016/17 season was far worse than ever.

Contradictions mainly centered on Wenger and Ferguson's 'Premier League Duo' era, they were rivals for the title around the millennium.

Two powers contend for hegemony.

England derby.

There are many stories between the two teams.

Flying boots.

Pizza Gate.

Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten run ended by Manchester United
Wenger and Ferguson had a profound impact on the Premier League, and their achievements deserve to be remembered by fans.

So who broke their rule?
It's Chelsea.

It's Abu.

It's Mourinho.

It is "the special one".

The later story is too long.

Wenger ushered in his nemesis in the Premier League. As of 2016, he faced Mourinho 16 times and only won 1 time, with a dismal record.

The problem is coming.

Now that Arsenal meet Manchester United coached by Mourinho, can they break the curse of invincibility?

Carrington Training Base.

Pogba drove to the entrance, and several media reporters waved excitedly.

"Paul, how are you going to welcome Lee at Old Trafford?"

"How do you think the outside world compares your goals against Lee's?"

"Where do you think the gap is between yourself and Li? Well... except for the social status."

A few questions that obviously provoke hatred failed to anger Manchester United's Mr. [-] million.

Pogba dismissively said:

"Don't fucking expect anything irrational to come out of my mouth."

"Only people who don't understand football question my worth."

"Aside from the number of goals scored, Li and I are very close in all statistics this season."

"Football is a team sport, Arsenal's coaching staff and other players are inferior to Manchester United!"

"Lee will suffer at Old Trafford."

Pogba straightened his hairstyle through the rearview mirror, then stepped on the accelerator and left the scene.

He is not stupid, and he is also very persistent in his pursuit of the spiritual world.

Every day, I have to call my good shaman and discuss the Qur'an together.

Fans are optimistic about Manchester United's prospects.

They firmly believe that Mourinho can lead the club out of the quagmire and return to the top.

The faith of the team members is also unprecedentedly firm.

No one will question the magic of "Mu Nian".

The only exception is De Gea.

He believes that Manchester United's defense is indeed much more stable than last season, but it is very difficult to resist Arsenal led by Lee.

In the end, he still bears everything in silence.

On the training ground at this time.

Ibrahimovic is "hand in hand" guiding Rashford, Lingard, Martial, Luke Shaw and others.

The 35-year-old Swede scored 4 goals in the first three rounds of the Premier League.

"Don't learn from me, my shot conversion rate is too low!"

"Manchester United has the most shots and the lowest conversion rate in the Premier League!"

"Learn to observe! Even if you are a striker, you have to observe the position of the opponent's defender and teammates. Don't patronize yourself to shoot the goal. Our attacking ideas must be unified!"

"Don't try to imitate MSN and Trezeguet, Inzaghi"

"The theory of dividing the offensive three zones has been outdated for many years. Van Gaal taught you these things? Now is the era of dividing the offensive nine zones. If Arsenal lose the ball on the offensive end, they will retreat back to the defense immediately instead of counterattacking. Grab, our attacking direction should be locked directly on the right side where the defense speed is the slowest!"

"As a striker, you have to minimize ineffective running. If you want to create space for your teammates, you must let the Arsenal defender see through your off-the-ball intention and have to be taken away by you. Yes, their main defender is very smart."

"Okay, let's get started!"

The training match gradually turned into a teaching class.

Ibrahimovic was chattering and guiding the teenagers while passing and running on the field.

Carrington Stadium soon heard the crisp sound of touching the ball.

De Gea kept catching up and resisting, and flew sideways. He repeatedly resolved the danger.

He was a little distracted, and Ibrahimovic's roar sounded in his ears again.

"Nice job, little ones!"

"If it was a slightly incompetent goalkeeper, we would have already beaten him into a sieve!"

The teenagers approached the tall and mighty Swedish striker one after another, their eyes filled with admiration.

The situation inside the Manchester United dressing room is very complicated: young players like Rashford, Lingard, and Luke Shaw have to follow Ibrahimovic even when eating, taking a bath, and even go to the toilet together.

Ibrahimovic loves to tell them about the classic games of the year, describing how perverted his idol, Da Luo is.

Carrington training ground turned into a kindergarten.

North London.

Li Kang came home at three o'clock in the afternoon.

He is going to start his homework again.

The Premier League also attaches great importance to the cultural lessons of players.

According to the "Elite Player Performance Program (EPPP)" program: Cultural literacy is the basis for technical and tactical understanding.

Even if you are Balotelli, you have to take culture classes and do homework honestly.

It is difficult to reproduce the good time of becoming famous with one goal and having a good time, and the young players have to take time out every day to learn.

Especially Hodgson, the coach of the England national team, arranges a cultural test every time he trains, and randomly checks the academic performance of the players.

After passing the preliminary examination, Arsenal's culture teacher suggested that Li Kang retake the "England GCSE Advanced Level Course", and he had to choose three subjects.

It's not that his academic performance in Germany was poor, it's just that the knowledge structure of the two countries is different.

Considering Li Kang's current popularity, he couldn't choose the school closest to the club to study, so he had to hire a tutor.

There are many "high-achieving students" in the football world.

Habaibu and Pirlo.

Chiellini, Lehmann, Inzaghi.

Alonso, Robben, Kimmich.

Lukaku.

Redondo, Socrates, etc. are endless.

There was another player who won the Nobel Prize in the last century.

Arsenal coach Wenger is also a top student in the football world: Bachelor of Electronic Engineering and Master of Economics from the University of Strasbourg in France, Ph.D. from the University of Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom. He is also proficient in six languages.

The setting sun shines through the lush branches and leaves, leaving mottled shadows on the desk.

"Li, it doesn't matter if you don't take the exam. It doesn't hurt to read more books. Even if you don't play football, you don't have to look for a job. We can auction off trophies and hat-trick balls when we run out of money."

The little assistant said a few words of comfort, and then closed the door of the room.

Li Kang felt that what he said made sense, so he picked up the mobile phone on the table and swipe the screen, the notification bar is full of dense information
After a while.

He decided to read the book.

Be self-disciplined.

You can't contact girls frequently in your spare time.

The Champions League has not yet been won.

Days go by like this.

The fourth round of the Premier League is finally here.

Li Kang and his teammates came to Manchester, one of the eight core cities in England.

The city is the economic engine of northern England and the most prosperous area outside London.

The red and white bus slowly drove towards Old Trafford.

Xhaka leaned out of the car window and exclaimed: "I just said that the relationship between Manchester United and Arsenal is fine now. Look at the statue of the boss outside the stadium!"

Wenger statue at Old Trafford?

Everyone laughed.

"What look? That's the statue of Sir Babylon!"

"Wrong, it's Sir Babis!"

After half an hour.

press conference.

Mourinho took the initiative to shake Wenger's hand.

The last time they met, the two had fought.

The reporters were all surprised: the madman coach seemed to be restrained a lot.

After the two sat down.

The Manchester United coach had a straight face, and the sharpness that came to his face made the reporters eager to try.

Manchester United is synonymous with Premier League traffic.

Including several teenagers in the team, they have gradually become Internet celebrities on social media.

Especially Pogba's ghosts and ghosts have not fully reflected the value of Mr. [-] million.

"I'm not a hairdresser, I don't have time to pay attention to Pogba's hairstyle."

"Arsenal is not weak."

"No matter which team I coach, Wenger can't beat me easily, and Mr. [-] million can't break the spell between me and him."

"Liverpool will take time to rebuild, Manchester City will need time to rebuild, that's their excuse for losing! Manchester United are title contenders even in the process of rebuilding."

"I came to Manchester United to win."

To attract fire, to attract hate.

He didn't bother to explain the mistakes of United's players in the previous rounds of victories.

The other side.

Wenger smiled kindly and answered questions raised by several reporters in a soft voice.

confidence.

Victory seems to be already in his hands, and he will no longer care about the provocations of his old enemies.

player channel.

In history, fierce conflicts between the Gunners and the Red Devils have broken out here many times.

Cesc Fabregas smashed a pizza in the face of Ferguson.
Time passes.

De Gea didn't care about the club's past grievances, and excitedly hugged Li Kang's shoulders.

"Li, every day I dream of reuniting with you in the national team."

As soon as the words came out.

Cech nodded in understanding.

The Manchester United generals looked stiff.

Pogba twitched the corner of his mouth in disdain.

Ibrahimovic said: "You are not dreaming now, but this game is not England vs. Spain! There are Swedes, Germans, Montenegrins"

Everyone laughed.

The originally dignified atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.

"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers."

"Welcome to the focus of the fourth round of the 2016/17 Premier League season!"

"Manchester United vs Arsenal!"

"The combination of the names of the two coaches alone is the most eye-catching matchup."

"Mourinho has a tough test at Old Trafford."

"Can Wenger break the spell of being ravaged by a madman?"

"Red Devils and Gunners, what kind of sparks will come out this time? Let us wait and see!"

"The camera showed Sir Alex Ferguson in the stands, familiar crutches, familiar chewing gum."

"Old Trafford has become a sea of ​​red, and the momentum of the Red Devils fans is overwhelming!"

"I'm the commentator for this match, He Hui!"

ESPN Live Room.

The barrage gradually dominates the screen.
-
[Both teams have won three consecutive victories since the start of the Premier League this season. 】
-
[The respective tactical styles are also different from the past. There are no shortcomings in the lineup, and there is no set trend. I am more optimistic about Li Mingdeng breaking the game. 】
-
[At this stage, it is really a strong dialogue. 】
-
[Manchester City lost again with Gua Shuai, what a disaster, the Champions League may also be out!Manchester skies won't be red this year, will they? 】
-
[Big Ibrahimovic is amazing, he can still play in the Premier League at the age of 35, I don’t know how old he can be. 】
-
[Pogba's hairstyle and painting style are no different from the guy in the barber shop at the entrance of our village. 】
-
[The happiest thing every weekend: watching a group of billionaires perform for us. 】

Old Trafford.

The referee team led the two teams out of the channel.

Tens of thousands of Red Devils fans erupted in overwhelming momentum in an instant!
The distance between the stands and the pitch is very close.

Huge slogans and posters trembled with the sound waves, like flames churning in a sea of ​​fire.

"United! United!"

"Glory glory Man United!"

Li Kang couldn't help but think of the scene when he first came to Old Trafford that year.

As if standing at the feet of a giant red beast, the tiny figure was about to be swallowed by the red blood basin.

The system prompt sounded quietly.

[Ding, the task is triggered: Conquer the Theater of Dreams. 】

[Mission briefing: Van Gaal is gone, Mourinho is here, the Red Devils are no longer staggering. It seems to be on the right path?Enjoy this game, Old Trafford has never been stingy with flowers and applause! 】

【mission rewards:? ? ? 】

"Let's introduce you to the starting lineups of both sides."

"United played a 4-2-3-1 formation."

"Goalkeeper: De Gea!"

"Defenders: Luke Shaw, Bailly, Smalling, Brand."

"Double defensive midfielders: Herrera, Carrick."

"Central midfield: Lingard, Pogba, Martial!"

"Forward: Ibrahimovic!"

"Arsenal's formation is 4-3-3!"

"Goalkeeper:"

"There hasn't been much change from the squad we played against Hull City last round."

"New aid Mustafi and Maguire form a new central defender partner."
-
[Manchester United Xia Chuang just bought a central axis. Why does it seem that the overall strength has become so much stronger. 】
-
[Carrick still kicks the midfielder when he is old?Matic don't stay in the car, hurry up and save Mourinho! 】
-
[Why not Rooney? 】
-
[There is Mkhitaryan on the bench, and now the use of Pogba has become a big problem. Mourinho let him play as a midfielder in the first two rounds, and the effect is very poor. 】
-
[I heard that Lukaku from Everton may join Manchester United in the winter window! 】
-
[Is Arsenal's new central defender combination reliable?It feels a bit pitted. 】

Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The game officially begins.

Arsenal ball.

Giroud kicks off and passes back to Li Kang.

Did not encounter high-intensity pressing and oppression.

The Gunners players calmly passed the football on the pitch.

"The speed of advancement is a bit slow."

"Manchester United's formation structure has formed a triple line of defense, and the defense has a strong sense of depth."

"There is a little bit of the imprint of Chelsea in the second phase of Mu."

Li Kang wants to try to speed up, but the timing of the ball is fleeting as the defensive distance of Manchester United players changes.

Pogba is like chicken blood, actively running to intercept this is something that was unimaginable in the past.

The French blacks also have a strong ability to read the game, and every timing and movement of defense is very reasonable.

Of course, this product is only a secondary factor and does not constitute the main threat of advancement.

Li Kang seems to have once again experienced the plight of Chelsea in the Champions League last season.

From God's perspective.

However, the overall structure of the Red Devils and the details of the zone defense are quite different from those of the Blues.
It seems a bit difficult.

Mourinho is not Hiddink, and the shadow he left made Leverkusen himself suffer.

　Zhan Jun is very difficult to write. It looks very simple, but in fact it is very, very difficult. I also looked for his early Cantonese commentary and watched it for a long time (I can listen to Cantonese and Hakka, and my grandfather is from Cantonese), and I didn’t know until later. The evaluation of him on the Internet as "not understanding tactics" is not very objective. He has already transformed many years ago. He is very clever and has a rich background. I can't describe his feeling, so I can only use Mr. Huang and He Hui Let's make up the numbers.
