Chapter 420 Community Shield
The appetizer Community Shield before the start of the season is Arsenal's first official game of the new season.
At Wembley Stadium.
Arsenal vs Manchester United!
The Community Shield can be regarded as a preview before the start of the Premier League every season.
The two sides usually pit the league champion against the FA Cup winner.
But because Arsenal won the league title and FA Cup last season.
Therefore, the opponent in this Community Shield Cup became last season's Premier League runner-up Manchester United.
Manchester United was double beaten by Arsenal in the league last season.
Especially for Manchester United.
Their drive for revenge is particularly strong.
The painful memory of being double-killed last season can certainly add a lot of extra motivation to Manchester United's players.
At the pre-match press conference.
Manchester United captain Rooney looked murderous: "We will prove our strength in this game. It is our shame to be defeated by Arsenal three times in one season, and we need to wash away the shame ourselves!"
Manchester United coach Mourinho is under a lot of pressure.
Who doesn't have a lot of pressure to succeed Ferguson?
Compared to Manchester United.
On Arsenal's side.
From the head coach to the players.
Facing this Community Shield match, it seemed much peaceful.
After all, they defeated Manchester United three times in a row last season.
This game is not a particularly important game.
There is absolutely no need for them to get blood.
"We hope to win the championship and get a good start to the league this season."
Wenger was reluctant to say much at the pre-match press conference.
Facing reporters' questions about the team's starting lineup in this game.
Wenger said he had no comment.
Yelo accepted an interview with reporters as the player representative for this game.
"Of course we have to win!"
Ye Luo smiled as he faced the many microphones and recorders in front of him.
"It is said that Arsenal's goal is to win all the championships?"
: "Of course!"
Ye Luo said.
Game time is [-]pm local time.
2014 8 Month 2 Day.
The England Community Shield match is played at Wembley Stadium.
Wembley Stadium was buzzing before the game, with fans from both sides arriving early.
The more than two-month offseason has made fans who are looking forward to the start of the new season frustrated.
Arsenal fans were singing and dancing.
Last season was undoubtedly an unprecedentedly successful season for Arsenal.
If we win the Community Shield again.
This is the fourth championship trophy this year!
inside the stadium.
Fans from both sides each occupied a stand.
The game hasn't started yet.
The rivalry among the fans began.
Manchester United fans tried to silence the Arsenal fans by being louder.
However, Arsenal fans held up models of the three trophies and mocked their opponents.
So many Manchester United fans suddenly became short of breath when they saw it.
Manchester United, which had lost all four majors, really didn't know what to say when facing Arsenal's Triple Crown winner.
Arsenal fans took out the trophy they got last season to show off.
It even made Manchester United fans furious.
"Why are you so arrogant! Last season was last season, and this season is this season! Let's see how our team teaches you a lesson later!"
"Champions League? We have three!"
"We still have twelve Premier League titles!"
Manchester United fans can only respond with their own team's heritage.
At the same time, they also expect the team to teach Arsenal a lesson throughout the game.
Backfired.
After the game starts.
Manchester United fans gradually died down.
Because at this moment at Wembley Stadium.
The situation of the game was different from what everyone imagined before the game.
People analyzed before the game that the Community Shield was not a very important game in the first place.
So usually in order to please the fans, both sides will fight against each other.
After all, it is a game that has nothing to do with league points.
Neither side is likely to play particularly utilitarian football.
In addition, if Arsenal and Manchester United are analyzed purely from the lineup.
There is really not much difference between the two teams in terms of paper strength.
So before the game, the media was previewing the game.
They all thought that this was an open and close battle.
Who can win between the two sides?
It depends on which forward of both sides can seize the opportunity better.
But when the game started.
People find out.
Their pre-game analysis.
It was so wrong.
Arsenal came out attacking.
But Manchester United shrank back - of course, they didn't take the initiative.
But passive contraction!
Yes!
It's been ten minutes since the game started.
Arsenal is attacking Manchester United in a positional battle!
Ten minutes.
Manchester United didn't even get the ball many times.
The scene in front of me.
It really surprised many people who thought Manchester United could at least compete with Arsenal.
"Ten minutes and Arsenal are laying siege to Manchester United! Manchester United were suppressed from the beginning! They are exhausted in their own backcourt!"
"The current scene is really surprising. If you covered the names of both teams and simply looked at the ten-minute game data, you would think it was the Spanish national team versus the Dragon Country national team."
The commentators all said in surprise.
Yes, now on the court, Arsenal shows a general advantage of crushing.
This is not to say that Manchester United is really weak.
It's that they are somewhat unprepared for the current situation.
It was originally according to Manchester United's idea.
Although Manchester United is not guaranteed to win this game.
But with a more mature midfield and frontcourt combination, Arsenal's adjusted tactical system is used.
No matter how you can take advantage of it.
So when they were completely overwhelmed by Arsenal.
The Manchester United players couldn't believe it.
They were actually within ten minutes.
I didn’t even touch the ball skin a few times.
Manchester United players basically made clearances, passively blocked the ball, and tried to dribble forward alone and were strangled.
It can be said.
Such a game situation.
This is a first time for Manchester United.
"Arsenal's midfield system is surprisingly smooth!"
"Yeluo has reached the most dangerous place. Manchester United did not dare to let the defenders press up because of Yello's powerful deterrence. As a result, in the midfield, Manchester United was completely at a disadvantage! Due to the deterrence brought by Yello, Assen Na’s midfielders can get more space!”
Even the commentators noticed it.
The lineup Arsenal has put out now does look very impeccable.
Back line.
Van Dijk and Alderweireld.
The left and right full-backs are Cancelo and Luke Shaw respectively.
In the midfield, Fabinho, Cazorla and Kante form a three-midfield combination.
Cazorla tends to be more of an attacking player.
Fabinho and Kanter tend to be more defensive.
The division of labor is clear.
In fact.
In Wenger's heart.
If Kanter can adapt well to the Premier League, after a period of training, he can be used as a deep-lying midfielder in the three midfielders.
Thus.
Fabinho's position can be forward.
Form a double central midfielder with Cazorla to utilize Fabinho's offensive ability.
This can make Arsenal's offensive power even more powerful!
At least judging from the current accounts.
Arsenal undoubtedly have a very good core lineup.
Van Dijk, Cazorla, Yello.
Such a central axis is definitely the best in the world.
The central axis is strong. The team will not be any worse.
What's more, Arsenal's two wing players are not bad either!
It was therefore no surprise that Manchester United, who were ill-prepared, were overwhelmed by Arsenal.
Eleventh minute of the game.
Arsenal launched an offensive.
After Cazorla got the ball in the midfield, he chose to split sides and look for Mane.
Mane doesn't have to do much in this Arsenal tactical system.
His tasks are two: to disrupt the opponent's defense by running through the ball without the ball, and to use the speed to break through and pass with the ball when he has the ball!
Usually the coaching staff does not assign too complex tasks to young players.
on the contrary.
On Harry Kane's side.
Harry Kane needs to undertake many more tactical tasks than Mane.
on the football field.
Able people should do more work.
This is always true.
And what about Ye Luo?
He has more to do.
Just like now.
"Mane! He took the ball and faced Manchester United's full-back Evra, oh oh oh! Beautiful breakaway! Mane is so fast!"
"Direct pass!!!"
"Middle Road!!!"
"Yellow!!!"
In the exclamation of the narrator.
Ye Luo first made a move to rush to the back.
Wait until he is halfway through.
Suddenly turned back, passed by the center defender Smalling, and grabbed the lead!
Smalling was pulling and pulling.
It also failed to stop Ye Luo from jumping.
I saw Ye Luo leaping high.
Throw the ball towards the goal.
De Gea reacted quickly.
He took action and hit the ball hard.
Van Persie on the outside wants to grab the first point.
As a result, Alderweireld suppressed him firmly.
Alderweireld didn't grab the ball either.
He suppressed Van Persie.
The task of going and getting some belongs to Van Dijk.
Van Dijk stopped the ball easily and then took the ball forward himself.
Sometimes.
The central defender launched a counterattack after getting the ball for the first time.
The threat is huge!
Van Dijk's passing ability is very good. In fact, his new partner Alderweireld's long passing ability is also good. Both central defenders have the ability to pass the ball, which is obviously of great benefit to Arsenal's offense.
Van Dijk unexpectedly dribbled the ball forward.
Making Manchester United's already chaotic defense even more chaotic.
in chaos.
Van Dyke's eyes were fixed on Ye Luo.
Ye Luo grabbed the header and landed.
Run back immediately.
Avoid falling into Manchester United's offside trap.
And when he ran back.
Van Dijk's pass also arrived.
"Van Dijk makes a direct pass!!"
"Ye Luo!! Beautiful turn!!!"
Still facing Smalling's defense, Yelo turned around and pulled the ball past Smalling.
Smalling did not dare to foul.
Give Ye Luo a penalty kick, forget it if you get a red card
Then Manchester United will not play this game.
The result is.
Ye Luo turned around and passed Smallin.
Directly facing Manchester United's goal!
Faced with such an opportunity.
How could Ye Luo let it go?
He looked at De Gea's position.
Shoot directly with your right foot!
I selected the upper right corner.
De Gea just raised his hand in a symbolic gesture.
Football before he could react.
It was already whizzing past his head.
Hit the net!
Twelfth minute of the game.
Arsenal's siege yielded a goal!
Yello easily scored the ball into Manchester United's goal! !
"Ye Luo!!!!!!"
The moment Yelo shot the ball into the net.
The commentators jumped to their feet in the commentary box.
"Finally a goal! Although everyone knows that under the siege of Arsenal, Manchester United will not last long! However, when the goal came, it was still incredible! Is Arsenal so powerful? ?"
Andy Gray exclaimed.
After sending away a group of veterans and fringe players.
Arsenal's lineup is more refined.
Their tactics are also more mature!
Just like now.
"The three midfielders composed of Cazorla, Kante, and Fabinho have completely liberated Yello. He only needs to consider one thing now, and that is...how to send the ball into the opponent's goal!"
Lineker sighed.
"This is the best way to use Yello, the best player in the world!"
Andy Gray also nodded repeatedly when he heard this: "Yes, Yello is very good, but Arsenal must also protect Yello so that he can be more relaxed and comfortable on the court, so as not to overdraw Yello's energy. .”
Arsenal's use of Yello last season actually caused criticism from many people in the football circle.
They feel that Yello's talent is destined to leave his name in the history of football.
As a result, it can be said that Arsenal was basically carried away by Yello last season.
This season is okay.
If only every season was like this.
Then Ye Luo is an iron man.
I'm afraid it will be smoothed out too.
In fact, Wenger has no choice.
To know.
Arsenal before Yello joined.
In terms of strength, they are just the middle and upper reaches of the Premier League.
Except for a few star players.
Other Arsenal players.
The quality of players from Tottenham and Everton is not much different.
Therefore, we can only make full use of Ye Luo's abilities.
And now Wenger is building a truly strong team.
The same thing is surrounding Ye Luo.
Arsenal's lineup last season can be said to be holding Yello back.
And the system created by Wenger this season.
It will truly become a multiplier for Ye Luo's abilities.
Let the star's abilities be integrated into the team's system.
This is the way it should be.
Mourinho looked solemn on the sidelines.
He saw it too.
The Arsenal of today are completely different from the Arsenal of last season.
last season.
Just keep an eye on Ye Luo - although it's difficult to keep an eye on him most of the time.
But at least, against Arsenal.
If Yelo wants to score, he has to advance from the midfield to the frontcourt.
This period can give the team a little buffer.
And now?
Yeluo took the ball directly in the most dangerous position.
He no longer needs to pass the ball, two-on-one, three-on-one, or even directly advance the ball himself.
He just needs to catch the ball and make a slight adjustment to shoot!
This puts the pressure on Manchester United's defense suddenly infinite!
Their defense line is always under deadly threat.
The pressure this threat brings.
The players of Manchester United were highly nervous.
So that physical energy consumption will become faster in this case.
What should I do?
Mourinho frowned.
For a while.
He really didn't have any other options. (End of chapter)
