My light shines on Arsenal

Chapter 202
Chen Yao has told his players that he can accept losing to Manchester United, but what he cannot accept is losing to Manchester United in this game.

"If you lose to Manchester United in the next game, they will have no opponents on their way to the championship." Chen Yao said, "Everyone will say this. In the 2012-2013 Premier League season, after defeating Arsenal , Manchester United established their championship status."

He still remembered the scene in the locker room. The lights were not very bright, and the players were sitting together, their eyes shining brightly.

"Do you like Manchester United?" Chen Yao asked.

"I don't like it at all." Aaron Ramsey muttered. "When I had the opportunity to play for Manchester United, I didn't go. I don't regret this decision."

"I also have the opportunity to go to Manchester United - I don't know if that is an opportunity - but it doesn't matter." Wilfred Zaha shrugged. "It was the coach who convinced me. So far, I am very happy to be at Arsenal." Accept.”

"I hate Manchester United." Theo Walcott said it bluntly. "An Arsenal player will not like Manchester United."

"I have to say, I don't quite understand the dislike for Manchester United." Santi Cazorla rubbed his head in embarrassment, "I have played in Spain for many years, and Manchester United... in my impression, it is A famous team, they had Ferguson as coach, they had Beckham and Ronaldo before."

"But what I can understand is that we are rivals with them. We can't let them step on us to win the championship. Yes, coach, I understand." Cazorla said.

"It seems that no one here is a Manchester United fan." Chen Yao said, "Old Trafford has never been an easy stadium to conquer. The audience is not on our side, the referee is not on our side, anything on the field is For one minute, we will be enemies of every tree and plant here."

"This means that we are unlikely to take the lead easily." Juan Lillo said, "Manchester United's efficiency in the first two 10 minutes was very good. We need to adapt to this stadium and the way they pass the ball. Coach The team can’t help you guys.”

"We can deal with these problems." Captain Arteta nodded calmly.

"Listen, boys. No matter whether we are behind or ahead, we must follow our tactical arrangements. Believe me, as the game gets later and later, Manchester United will play worse and worse." Chen Yao said with a smile. .

……

Arsenal's counterattack began.

Szczesny threw the ball to Koscielny, and the French defender stretched his long legs and stepped past Robin Van Persie.

Koscielny dribbled forward, causing brief confusion in United's defensive formation. Wayne Rooney filled the gap and Arteta connected on Koscielny's flank.

Rooney fought and retreated. All he could do was delay Arsenal's advancement.

Koscielny stopped the ball and passed it short to Arteta, who immediately passed it to Ramsey.

Attacking the center is Arsenal's established strategy.

Chen Yao pointed his hand towards Ramsey and then towards Scholes. Ramsey followed the direction he pointed and launched an attack on the 39-year-old England midfielder.

When Scholes saw Ramsey approaching, he felt something was wrong.

He struggled to keep up with Ramsey's pace and reached out to tug at the Welshman's jersey.

Ramsey did not lose his balance. He had the foresight and ran with all his strength. Scholes's pull was ineffective and he almost fell.

The referee watched the Manchester United players' small movements not far away, but the whistle in his mouth did not blow.

When Ramsey finally got rid of Scholes, Scholes let go and looked back at the referee awkwardly.

The referee also glanced at Scholes lightly but said nothing.

Scholes smiled coquettishly.

In Manchester United's half, the number of Arsenal and Manchester United players is basically even.The only midfielder left to protect Manchester United's defense was Michael Carrick. Ramsey and Santi Cazorla completed a one-two match. Cazorla's feet exchanged like magic, and Ramsey came from the card. Rick passed behind him and received Cazorla's diagonal plug.

Arsenal's counterattack came to Manchester United's penalty area with lightning speed.

Sir Alex Ferguson's face quickly darkened, and he opened his mouth, but the situation on the field changed much faster than he could speak.

At a certain moment, Ferguson remembered the days when he faced Arsenal at the beginning of the century, when Arsene Wenger's team was like this, with lightning-fast counterattacks and dazzling attacks.

What did he do to beat Arsenal?
Iron-blooded?
But now Arsenal is no worse than Manchester United in terms of toughness.

Michael Carrick was knocked away by Ramsey, and Arsenal players broke into the penalty area from the left and right wings, piercing United's ribs like sharp knives.

Ramsey's path was blocked by Ferdinand, and there was not enough space in the penalty area for him to continue moving.

Antoine Griezmann made a fake run that took away the attention of the Manchester United players, and Ramsey found space to cross to the left wing.

Santi Cazorla switched to the left.

The Spanish attacking midfielder took the ball on the left wing. His staggered steps cleanly shook off Rafael and made a cross.

There was chaos in the penalty area as Olivier Giroud jumped up and headed home.

He didn't put any effort into his header - Giroud rolled after landing and half-knelt in anger, reaching out his hand. Other Arsenal players around him also raised their hands.

"It looks like a foul," Hasselbaink said hesitantly. "I think Ferdinand obviously pulled Giroud... Manchester United made a lot of small moves in this game, but the referee didn't whistle it."

"Jimmy, you think this is a penalty?"

"It could have been a penalty," Hasselbaink said, "but it's never easy to get a penalty at Old Trafford."

Chen Yao ran to the fourth official again to protest.

"Sir, please don't treat everyone as blind! This is a penalty kick. Didn't you see all the fouls before?"

"Mr. Coach, it's useless to tell me." The fourth official said nonchalantly, "You have to ask the referee. Moreover, the official attitude is to absolutely support the referee's decision."

Chen Yao still wanted to speak, but Li Luo took his arm.

The game on the field continues.

Giroud's header missed the goal. During the brief chaos in the penalty area, De Gea slapped the ball out and Koscielny grabbed the spot.

He was well out of his position, Monreal moved back into the middle, and Arsenal's backline moved into a dangerous position.

Although Chen Yaozai deliberately trained Arsenal's defenders to press forward, such scenes still made people nervous in the 2013 Premier League.

Koscielny passed the ball long into the penalty area. Giroud, who had just gotten up from the ground, shook his head and headed the ball towards the far post.

Theo Walcott flew past Evra, stretched his legs and knocked the ball into the goal.
