The Premier League arsenal, the king of thermos cups

Chapter 73
Old Trafford, eight into four FA Cups.

The two teams started high-fiving on the pitch, Manchester United in red and Arsenal in blue.

Then began to fall on their respective positions.

"What are you looking at?" Zhou Yang saw Welbeck looking around.

Welbeck shook his head.

"Wearing red on the opposite side today."

Zhou Yang blinked and looked at the old Manchester United player.

This guy, don't accidentally pass the ball to his former teammate.

Another ex-teammate, another one in red...

Zhou Yang stretched his waist and looked up at the opposite lineup.

Rooney, Fellaini, Di Maria, the three people in Manchester United's frontcourt activities, in layman's terms.

Fat, tall, fast.

Needless to say, Rooney, the Manchester United twin star has an excellent sense of smell in front of goal, became famous at a young age, and his ability is obvious to all.

Fellaini, Belgium's 1-meter tall head can be called Manchester United's secret weapon, with the ability to make a final decision.

Di Maria, Real Madrid star, king of wing assists, left-footed player. His hands are a mess of kicks.

beep.

The referee's whistle sounded.

The two sides finally opened up, Arsenal kicked off in the middle circle, and Welbeck gave it to Sanchez.

Zhou Yang slowly followed the formation.

Today they are still attacking regularly, and the 4231 style of play is already familiar to him.

The pace and intensity of the opening kicks of both sides is not great. After the players on their side get the ball, one of the Manchester United players will press up. If their players pass the ball, Manchester United will switch to another player. Fill in.

In terms of offense, Zhou Yang hasn't figured out the general situation yet.

The opponent's midfielders, except for Blind who is the defensive midfielder, can be more clear that Fellaini is a threat in the penalty area, Ashley Young on the left wing has a strong ability to hold the ball, and Herrera is active in defense in the midfield. There are two big players on the field, and Rooney, needless to say, still plays the center position in the hands of Van Gaal.

Most of Di Maria leaned to the right side of the road.

After seven or eight minutes, the first fairly perfect attack was ushered in.

Zhou Yang stepped forward with the ball and gave it to Cazorla, and then he and Ramsey followed the formation, but his position was slightly behind, keeping a safe defensive distance.

Sanchez dribbled the ball from the left and started to cut inside, but unfortunately it was destroyed and Cazorla went up to stop it.

Continue to hold the ball over the top and give it to the right penalty area.

Bellerin went up to stop the ball and took it to the outside of the penalty area. After trying to turn around and failed, he gave it to Chamberlain next to him. The latter waded too far and lost the ball.

The ball was swept away by Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw.

Manchester United counterattacked.

Ashley Yang took two dribbles on the wing and then returned to the midfielder Blind.

Start organizing your attack.

Transfer directly to the right to the full-back Valencia, Valencia dribbled the ball into the wing and began to advance.

Manchester United's right wing suddenly gained momentum. At the same time as Di Maria came back, Valencia passed to Herrera next to him. The latter was knocking on Di Maria.

Zhou Yang and his teammates began to retreat further.

With his flexible dribbling ability, the former Real Madrid star prepared a second push near the center circle.

Zhou Yang is also in the middle circle.

At this moment, facing Manchester United's sudden offensive transition and Di Maria holding the ball on the right, Zhou Yang was especially calm.

Because it is only in the middle circle now, and Manchester United's frontcourt mostly retreats to get the ball.

He has watched Manchester United videos. Manchester United has a characteristic. They retreat too much to take the ball, and sometimes they squeeze in the middle from the left and right. There's very little running of the kind inserted into the hinterland.

In Zhou Yang's impression, the opponent will actively squeeze in, and then the opponent's players will retreat, which is equivalent to the fact that they can get together and narrow the range by themselves.

Not to mention, this is only in the middle circle.

He didn't go too far in the opponent's half to do things indiscriminately.

Sure enough, there is no need for Di Maria to bring the ball over.

After being pressed by other teammates, the ball at Di Maria's feet was stuck out of the boundary.

Only then did Zhou Yang slowly continue to follow the formation.

Van Gaal stood up on the sidelines and focused his eyes on Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang slowly moved up following everyone's formation, compared to playing against other opponents, facing this long-established Premier League giant, in this Dream Theater with 7 people, it is obvious that Zhou Yang is trying to let the whole of Manchester know himself.

At the same time, Rooney, the twin star next to him, glanced at him.

Arsenal's new midfielder, some say he is the new king of the city of North London, a silent and sharp blade in attack.

Rooney has watched the Arsenal midfielder play.

The playmaking of the offense is so flawless it's hard not to marvel.

Excellent vision, keen observation, fast speed, impeccable right foot.

Today he is mainly doing defense.

Arsenal broke an arm?
Soon, a foul ball was sent out, and after a fight, it was kicked to the center.

Zhou Yang went up and stepped on the ball lightly.

The tall and powerful Fellaini came under pressure, and Zhou Yang quickly sent the outer instep of his right foot to Ramsey in front, neatly.

Ramsey's ability to plug in is sufficient, and it has a certain impact on Manchester United's defense.

Sure enough, Manchester United midfielder Herrera stumbled when he came up.

The referee blew his whistle with a high decibel in his mouth.

Herrera received a yellow card in the opening 10 minutes.

With Van Gaal standing on the sidelines, Arsenal's powerful offense, fast and comprehensive pass-and-cut cooperation, the effect can be seen in the first 10 minutes.

Sanchez and Monreal on the left, Welbeck and Cazorla in the middle, Chamberlain and Bellerin on the right.

In addition, there are Zhou Yang and Ramsey's double midfielders as front and rear support, who can attack when advancing and defend when retreating.

With his right hand resting on his chin, he seemed to be thinking.
