For Manchester United, Ten Hag takes this game very seriously. Although Arsenal has a poor record this season, it is not a weak team after all. The reason why they lost against two giant teams is because Arteta always insisted. Offensive tactics.

In Ten Hag's view, if Arteta had chosen to play defensive counterattack in those two games, the final results would have been much better.In order to ensure victory, Ten Hag decided to adopt a more prudent strategy in the next game and set up a 4231 formation.

For the goalkeeper position, Ten Hag chose the experienced De Gea.He is a goalkeeper with quick reactions and superb skills, who has saved the team many times at critical moments.

In the center position, Ten Hahe sent Lin to defeat the enemy.

It is worth mentioning that Grealish was included in the squad for this game.He has returned from injury, and according to the plan, he is likely to get a chance to play in this game and inject new vitality into the team's offense.

Arsenal used a 343 formation in this game, which is a system of three central defenders and four defenders.

November 11, Manchester, Old Trafford.

partly cloudy.

The two teams will start a fierce battle.

Before the game, both sides were very restrained and did not say anything wild.

After the game starts.

Manchester United took the lead in the first half.

After three passes and two downs, he arrived in front of Arsenal's defense.

Lin Kedi and his teammates cooperated patiently, and Arsenal's defense was very strong for a while. Manchester United began to penetrate in the middle, but could not penetrate for a while, so they could only hit the ball to the wing.

Arsenal's right wing-back Bellerin is a traditional full-back after all, so he retreats very quickly, but the left wing-back is Saka, and his return speed is very slow.

So Lin Kedi immediately passed the ball to Perisic on the right.

Perisic immediately seized the gap and cut inside.

Seeing that Saka did not come back, Arsenal's left center back Tierney had no choice but to attack Perisic himself.

Lin Kedi immediately inserted into the gap behind Tierney, and then Perisic immediately sent the ball forward.

Lin Kedi took a step forward and got the ball.

At this time, Gabriel immediately retreated into the penalty area.

Nowadays, all central defenders in the Premier League have a compulsory course on how to deal with Lin Ke's attack.

What Gabriel did was to put distance between himself and Lin Ke, and then block the angle of his shot.

This time, Lin Kedi shot directly after taking the ball.

The ball hit the inside of the post and bounced off the baseline.

Manchester United's first attack after the opening was so threatening, hitting directly into the penalty area. Lin Kedi also completed a shot. Although there was no corner kick, for Lin Kedi, it was not bad to achieve this level. , so he didn't feel any regrets and immediately turned around and ran back.

Arsenal goalkeeper Leno took the ball from the ball boy behind him and placed it firmly in the penalty area.At this time, there was a trace of anxiety on Arteta's face on the sidelines. He shouted loudly: "Send it quickly! Send it quickly!" However, it seemed that it was too late.Manchester United's players have successfully set up a defensive line and are ready.

Arteta was very dissatisfied with this situation. He turned to his assistant coach and said: "Leno's ball-playing ability obviously cannot meet my tactical requirements." After hearing this, the assistant coach could only respond helplessly: "At present, we There are other more critical positions that need to be strengthened, and the goalkeeper position may not be our first choice."

After hearing this, Arteta's expression gradually changed, and he frowned in thought.In the end, he nodded and acknowledged the assistant coach's point of view: "You are right. What we need most now are excellent defenders and midfielders to consolidate the defense. The goalkeeper problem can be put aside for the time being." In the current severe situation, Next, Arteta realized that he must focus on more important positions to improve the team's overall strength.

But right now, the game is more important. Arsenal's Leno kicked the ball away with a big kick.

Aubameyang on the right side of Arsenal's frontcourt got the ball. He looked at Grimaldo in front of him and immediately moved the ball forward.

Grimaldo immediately approached Aubameyang and wanted to get close to him to restrict his movements, but Aubameyang's feet were fast enough, and he did not want to directly pass Grimaldo, so Aubameyang As soon as the angle was opened, after seeing his teammates advancing, he immediately sent a through ball forward.

Lacazette ran over from the other side and rushed directly to the through ball, while Aubameyang immediately moved to the center, waiting for Lacazette's return pass.

However, this intention was too obvious. Guimaraes immediately retreated. When Lacazette passed the ball back in an inverted triangle, Guimaraes immediately destroyed the ball and went out of the sideline.

Accurate interception of the ball.

Arsenal's throw-in, Bellerin came over and threw the throw-in.

However, the foul ball was intercepted by Grimaldo as soon as it was thrown out.

Then make a straight pass forward.

After Rashford got the ball, he immediately cut inside to the right, because Arsenal's Bellerin didn't come back at all, and Holding, the right center back among Arsenal's three central defenders, was now even worse out of position. Still haven't come back yet.

"Fxxk! Get back to defense! Come back to defense quickly!" Arteta looked extremely angry from the command area on the sidelines and could only keep roaring towards the court.

But just when Arteta was roaring, Rashford had already cooperated with Linke. Linke pushed forward and ran back. Rashford sent a through ball, and Linke went around to Gabriel. Behind him, he easily got the ball and then entered the penalty area. He pushed and shot. Even though Leno had already attacked, he was still defeated by Lin Kedi's superb shooting skills. He could only turn his head and watch the ball go into the net. 1-0, Manchester United took the lead at home, and it was Link who scored the goal.

"This is his 22nd league goal. I still can't help but sigh. He scored 7 goals in 22 league games. This is something that no one has ever done in history, so there is no need to hide it. In terms of ability, Lin Kedi is No. 1 in the world and No. [-] in history! He is so strong, he is so strong!"

Zhan Jun shouted excitedly after seeing Lin Kedi score.

After Lin Kedi scored the goal, he turned around and hugged Rashford, who had provided him with an assist.

Ten Hahe on the sidelines just clenched his fists and waved in celebration, and he couldn't tell how excited he was.

On the other side, Arteta was almost so angry that his whole chest was heaving.

"fxxk, neither the defender nor the goalkeeper. Our defense is really bad! We can attack from the front, but we can't defend from the back!"

Arsenal's assistant coach can only watch his head coach lose his temper, but as an assistant coach, he must remind the head coach: "Should we return to defense appropriately and stop pressing the offense like this, otherwise I will Afraid--"

The assistant coach did not continue, but Arteta must have understood the words behind his "I'm afraid."

Because Arteta thinks so too.

So he made a gesture toward the court to change his tactics.

The players on the field also quickly adjusted. Bellerin pulled back to play right back, Saka moved to the left wing, Willian moved to the center to play as an attacking midfielder, Lacazette moved forward, and the formation changed from 343 to 4231. .

It seems that the defense has been strengthened and the defense on both sides has been strengthened.

After the restart, Manchester United's pressure was still there, and Arsenal's defense looked a little easier on the surface.

The pressure on both sides is much smaller, but the pressure on the front is much greater, because not only Arsenal will change the formation, but Manchester United will also change the formation immediately after seeing Arsenal's defensive change.

Ashraf moves to the defensive midfielder position, and Guimarães moves to the attacking midfielder position, playing the left front midfielder.

Very quickly, in just a few seconds, Manchester United's 3241 formation was in place.

Manchester United launched a strong suppression force.

However, Arsenal was still very resilient and was not immediately beaten through the defense.

At the end of the first half, the score remained at 1-0, and Arsenal was not defeated.

During the halftime break, Arteta was wondering whether to attack on the counterattack in the second half.

However, during the midfield training, Arteta decided to show off his unique skills.

He found a board with A3 paper on it, and Arteta decided to write a handwritten ppt to explain his football philosophy to Arsenal players.

But it's obvious that the current Arsenal players are listening in a fog. They don't understand what Arteta's football philosophy is, but they understand the last sentence.

"Play defensive counterattack in the second half!"

oh, I see.

Arsenal's players understood immediately.

Therefore, in the second half of the game, Arsenal's players started limited attacks, all of which appeared in the process of counterattack.

However, Manchester United's play became more varied in the second half. They cut in from the wing to shoot or cross, forced penetration from the center, and caught Arsenal's counterattacks for fast breaks.

In the 55th minute, Manchester United had a chance to pass from the wing. Lin Kedi headed the ball from the right side of the penalty area. He knew that in this position he was in, it was basically difficult to directly attack the goal, but he had already used his peripheral vision. He caught a glimpse of De Jong rushing into the penalty area, so he flew the header towards the center of the penalty area without hesitation.

De Jong had already jumped high at this time, and the defensive players in Arsenal's penalty area were all staring at Link, leaving Bellerin to stare at De Jong who rushed into the penalty area, but when De Jong jumped up , Bellerin hadn't jumped up yet, De Jong jumped high and headed the ball.

Leno had already made a save, but the header was too close to the goal and was basically a must-goal.

So even though Leno had already made a save, the ball still hit the net accurately.

2:0.

After scoring the goal, De Jong was extremely excited and rushed towards Lin Kedi.

"Lin! This is the first header I have scored! Your pass was so great!"

Link hugged him in return.

The two hugged.

Manchester United celebrated passionately and split their words, but Arsenal's side was miserable.

Arteta was helpless and furious because he really didn't know what to do or how to adjust.

The players on the bench are not as good as the starters on the field, who can be replaced?

Before Arteta could think of how to solve the current situation, the situation on the field changed again.

In the 67th minute, Link took the ball in the middle and passed it to Grealish, who came on the right. Grealish cut in and shot directly into the far corner.

3:0.

Grealish, who returned from injury, scored a goal just 2 minutes after coming off the bench. Grealish, who scored a goal, was so excited that he almost cried.

And Arteta was really about to cry.

Because he had a hunch that Arsenal might lose another goal.

And his premonition had to be said to be very accurate.

In the 79th minute, Rice came on as a substitute, received a through ball from Ashraf in the backcourt, and took a long shot. The ball penetrated the goal guarded by Leno four times.

4:0.

This goal is the last goal of this game, but it is not the last story of this game.

In the 88th minute, Xhaka lost his calm and his emotions exploded instantly. He tackled Lin Ke fiercely and violently.Hearing a bang, Lin Kedi was shoveled to the ground by him.However, surprisingly, Lin Kedi stood up quickly as if he had not been hurt at all.

Instead, Xhaka paid the price for his violent behavior.The referee did not hesitate to take out the red card and send him off directly.Although Xhaka was extremely reluctant to leave the field, his strain prevented him from continuing to play.In the end, he had to be stretchered off the field.

Arteta, who was present, knew that the defeat in this game was not just a matter of losing for Arsenal.After the game, the media coverage of this game will definitely put Arsenal in trouble.Losing games and losing people, this kind of evaluation is undoubtedly a blow to Arsenal.More importantly, there is no one in the midfielder position!

After the game, in an interview, Arteta's eyes looked a little tired, but his attitude remained firm.He first admitted that this game was very difficult and he was not satisfied with the team's performance.Arteta admitted frankly that they were not prepared for the game and although they accepted the result of the loss, they were not satisfied.

He emphasized that the result of this game did not mean that the team's overall strength was not good enough, but that they did not perform as well as they should in certain aspects.Arteta believes that although the team has suffered the impact of injuries during the game, this is also part of the football game.

He expressed his belief that the team has done what they can, but the team's performance has been greatly affected by injuries.Arteta believes that fans can understand the team's current ups and downs because this is not a reflection of the team's true strength.

Despite the defeat, Arteta has not changed the team's goals and he still firmly believes that the team can achieve the goal of entering the top four at the end of the season.He expressed his belief that the team's players can continue to work hard and improve in future games, and ultimately achieve their goals.

But it is obvious that Arteta is not the focus of reporters, and the players have set their sights on Lin Kedi.

In an interview after the game, Link said: "This is just a league, for both the winning side and the losing side. It is not a final, and it cannot determine the final result of the season. For us Said, the most important thing about this game is Grealish's comeback, and he also scored a goal, which is very important for us. As for me personally, I am very satisfied with my performance. And our The goal remains unchanged. The championship is our only consideration - World Footballer? Yes, I know. I don't want to be too modest. I think this year's World Footballer should be me, although this is not a fact yet. , but I believe it will be soon." (End of chapter)
