Chapter 1948 Mertesacker is too familiar with Ye Chen!
"The last two-minute full-moon scimitar ended the suspense, and this four-minute long shot kills the game? Ye Shen is indeed the most stable link in the final!"
"Xhaka was easily played by Ye Shen, I've said it a long time ago... Even Arsenal's five defenders can't guard Ye Shen!"
"I have beaten Arsenal three times this season, so I can easily win this one!"
"To be honest, when I saw that the opponent in the final was Arsenal, I felt that this championship was guaranteed!"
With Ye Chen's goal, fans all over the world couldn't wait to declare Arsenal's death sentence.
However, they did not notice that Arsenal's players were not discouraged by losing the ball. On the contrary, they were all high-spirited.
To use Wenger's words before the game: When everyone looks down on them, their chance will come!
The most important thing for Arsenal is to play steadily.
As for Ye Chen... he can only try his best to defend. As for how well he can perform, that can only be left to God.
To put it simply, do your best and obey fate!
Arsenal played five defenders today, which actually means hoarding midfielders so that Arsenal can compete with Manchester United for the ball.
But Manchester United is not retreating blindly now.
Therefore, the competition between the two sides in the midfield is fierce.
But no one expected that the first yellow card in this game turned out to be Lukaku's.
After Arsenal stole the ball in the backcourt, they directly organized a counterattack.
As soon as the ball reached Ramsey's feet, Lukaku made a diagonal pass and tackled the ball away with him.
This directly caused dissatisfaction among the fans at the scene.
The referee also showed the yellow card without any suspense.
But since Ye Chen scored, it has been difficult to get the ball.
This also benefits from Wenger's arrangements.
Wenger learned what Inter Milan used to deal with Barcelona's Messi, and directly used a "leaf" tactic.
The main thing is to cut off the line.
And because Arsenal's defense was so tightly positioned, Ospina confiscated several attempts.
This guy must be a bit overweight if he can start in the FA Cup final.
Seeing that his goals did not affect the mentality of young Arsenal players, Ye Chen couldn't help but admire Wenger.
Whether you like Arsenal or not, Wenger deserves respect.
It is no exaggeration to say that without Wenger, Arsenal would not be what it is today.
You must know that Wenger has created countless honors for Arsenal. The only pity is that Arsenal did not win the Champions League.
Otherwise, Wenger's status could be higher!
The time blinked to 30 minutes and 55 seconds.
Ye Chen dribbled the ball down the right side, but was directly double-teamed by Monreal and Chamberlain.
When the ball passed, Monreal used a very concealed hook to stop Ye Chen to the ground.
The referee just gave Manchester United a set kick on the right.
Of course, because the angle is only about 15 degrees.
Let Modric take the penalty directly.
"Beep!"
A whistle blew.
Modric sent the ball to the back point.
Lukaku in the penalty area jumped high after a short run-up.
Surrounded by Mustafi and Mertesacker, he faced the football, but Mertesacker was still young.
The football was cleared to the outside.
De Bruyne quickly took control of the ball at his feet.
"Boom!"
Seeing that Rojo on the left was empty, he immediately passed the ball.
Rojo did not dribble the ball himself. After running out of the gap, he gave the ball to Lukaku who came out of the penalty area to receive the ball.
Lukaku himself also knows that scoring goals may not be his particular specialty, but he can learn from Benzema and drop back more to provide support.
Or pull aside and create opportunities for Ye Chen.
Lukaku carried Mustafi behind him and sent the ball to the baseline.
And Rojo, who had just given the ball to Lukaku, also quickly intervened.
Bellerin simply couldn't stop it in time.
"Boom!"
Rojo ran out of the space and sent the ball to the middle!
Rashford and Ye Chen knocked on the door.
Of course, everyone's attention was on Ye Chen, so Rashford was left empty!
"Oh!"
Rashford also handled it quickly.
He tilted his ankle and pushed gently.
The football went straight to the far corner.
Ospina in front of the goal reacted subconsciously.
But the football slipped past his toes...
Just when the Arsenal fans were devastated, thinking that they were about to suffer another goal from Rashford.
The football touched the post and went out of the bottom line!
"Huh...scared the baby to death!"
"This Manchester United's cooperation is so scary!"
"Why can't five defenders guard Manchester United? This Manchester United is too scary!"
The Arsenal fans at the scene looked at the stadium with fearful faces.
Rashford looked dull.
This damn thing didn’t come in?
This unscientific!
Ye Chen walked over and patted his head, "It's okay!"
No striker can guarantee that he will score a goal if given the chance.
Not even Ye Chen can guarantee this.
Manchester United fans all feel sorry for it, but if you miss it, you miss it.
The two sides continued to compete on the court.
Wenger's idea is actually very simple, get through the first half first.
Even if we lose the ball, we can't be in a hurry and get into Manchester United's rhythm.
During this period, he analyzed Manchester United's games day and night, mainly to find the patterns of failure of other teams.
He found that many teams get anxious as soon as they lose the ball and get into the opponent's rhythm.
Thereby speeding up the process and wanting to equalize as soon as possible.
But Manchester United's counterattack was extremely sharp.
So Wenger just wants to be stable.
Controlling the ball is for stability.
The five defenders are also for stability.
Arranging two full-backs with strong defensive abilities on the wings is also for stability.
Of course, the effect is also very good.
At least in 40 minutes, Arsenal did not concede a second goal.
41 minutes 24 seconds.
Arsenal attack with the ball.
Mertesacker gave the ball to Ramsey in the middle.
As soon as Ramsey got the ball, he was closely marked by De Bruyne.
But he didn't react slowly and sent the ball to the right side of the court with a big kick.
Walcott, nicknamed Little Tiger.
He, Bale, and Luke Shaw all came from the Southampton youth training camp, and he and Bale were classmates and roommates!
A cool stop and sprint forward.
But Rojo desperately chased back, and Xiaohu made an emergency stop.
He opened the distance between him and Rojo, and then passed the ball to Bellerin who came in behind.
However, apart from speed, Bellerin is average in everything else.
Before the ball was in control, Rashford kicked him first.
The ball just fell to Rojo's feet.
Rojo may not be very good defensively, but he is still very motivated offensively.
This can be said to be a commonality among South American players.
After getting the ball, he rushed directly along the wing, but saw that Ye Chen in the frontcourt had already started.
"Oh!"
A big foot is sent to the frontcourt.
Arsenal's defense retreated quickly.
National team teammates Mustafi and Mertesacker double-teamed on the left and right.
But Ye Chen still stuck the ball down with his left foot.
Ye Chen lost the space to continue forward and could only dribble to the right with the ball.
Just as De Bruyne arrived, Ye Chen made a clever backheel pass.
De Brau understood in his heart.
"Boom!"
Tip toe.
The ball bypassed Mertesacker and fell directly between the defender and the goalkeeper.
And Ye Chen also rushed forward immediately after passing the ball!
His legs were like high-speed motors, and his body was like a bolt of lightning, rushing past Mertesacker...
But the one I am most familiar with is my former teammates!
If this allowed Ye Chen to pass, he would have thought of Ospina being passed and hitting an empty goal.
then……
"Oh..."
Mertesacker had no choice but to grab Ye Chen's jersey!
The quality of the clothes is very good, and it didn't even tear under such huge force.
But Ye Chen's eight-pack abs are neatly arranged.
However, Ye Chen, who fell to the ground, still didn't give up and tried to reach out to pick the ball.
The ball was hooked, but he failed to exert any force and was held firmly by Ospina.
Mertesacker reached out and hugged him from behind...
Damn, I didn’t know I thought I was filming an idol drama!
"Beep!"
The referee didn't hesitate at all, blew the whistle and gave Mertesacker a yellow card.
Mertesacker smiled bitterly and just looked at Ye Chen apologetically.
Ye Chen was also speechless.
They are so familiar with each other...
Mertesacker knew the threat he had in the past, and Ye Chen could understand why he did what he did.
Wenger on the sidelines also applauded.
That's why Mertesacker plays.
As Ye Chen's old teammate, he understands Ye Chen very well.
Moreover, veteran players have game experience and know when is the most appropriate time to commit a foul.
If there hadn't been a foul, Manchester United would have been 2-0...
Is it really safe for Arsenal to give Ye Chen a set kick at this position?
