Chapter 270: Always guarding the door...

In the 75th minute, it was Arsenal's second attack. Fabregas's set-piece was headed out by Ferdinand. Walcott, who had just come on as a substitute, received the ball from Flamini on the right side, and the former decisively received the ball and launched another attack.

Born in London in 89, Theo Walcott, nicknamed "Little Tiger", has the greatest technical feature of being fast! Born in Southampton's youth training camp, he was introduced by Arsenal Football Club for 2006 million pounds in January 1 when he was less than 17 years old. In the same year, he was selected for England's squad for the World Cup in Germany. Although he did not get a chance to play, it is obvious that his unique weapon is recognized by many head coaches.

沃尔科特到底有多快？在他14岁时就跑出过11秒52的百米成绩。在阿森纳，亨利保持了7年的40米冲刺纪录就被他刷新；根据阿森纳官方统计，沃尔科特最快百米成绩是10秒3。不愧是新一代的快枪手！

可能很多人对百米速度没有概念，所以我们就需要一些参照物，例如外星人罗纳尔多的百米速度就是10秒5，2024年巴黎奥运会男子100米奥运冠军诺亚·莱尔斯的成绩是9秒79，而沃尔科特10秒3的成绩是有机会踏上奥运会男子100米的决赛跑道与其同场竞技的……

So when Walcott started, Giggs, who was trying to counterattack, gave up chasing him. Of course, this may have nothing to do with Walcott's speed. At the end of the game, as a veteran, Giggs naturally saved his three-dimensional kicks. The hard work of chasing back the youngster was no longer a responsibility he should bear at his age.

As for Evra who was defending head-on, he obviously did not expect that the new guy was a rookie who stepped on him when he lowered his head to receive the ball. Although as a speed-type full-back, Evra is least afraid of speed-type wingers, he is also the most helpless against speed-type wingers, because once they occupy a favorable position and speed up, he really cannot catch up with them.

The current situation is that Evra has just recovered from injury, and he has been fighting for most of the game, so his physical strength is not at its peak; of course, it was mainly due to carelessness. Before Evra had time to choose whether to foul, Walcott rushed past him!

Walcott, who had passed two people, had already reached the edge of Manchester United's penalty area, but it was obviously impossible for Walcott to make a big change of direction and cut into the middle of the small penalty area to open up a shooting angle. So Walcott didn't even look at the middle, but lowered his head and made a powerful low cross, which was almost exactly the same as the key cross made by Evra when Manchester United scored the second goal, except that this time Evra was the background.

Because the ball was moving too fast and Walcott didn't look for anyone, the ball flew past the front and middle of the goal and headed straight for the back. Gallas, who had not yet retreated after the previous set-piece attack, was lying in wait at the back. Gallas flew to the right edge of Manchester United's penalty area and shot the ball into the center of Manchester United's goal!

To be honest, the shot from the defender's foot was not very good. It did not go to the near corner or the far corner, but to the middle of the goal. So Van der Sar, who was blocking the near corner, had time to turn around and jump, stretching his arms to try to stop the ball outside the goal line, but in the end he was half a beat too late and could only fish the ball out from inside the goal line...

2-2! Just 7 minutes after Manchester United took the lead again, Walcott, who came on as a substitute, made a crucial run and sent a key pass, assisting Gallas to tie the score again! The two teams are back to the same starting line again!

Seeing that the team was once again being caught up by the opponent, Sir Alex decisively gave it a try. In the 76th minute, he replaced Tevez with Saha to strengthen the impact in the frontcourt.

However, it was Arsenal that posed a threat again, also from Walcott. In the 78th minute of the game, Walcott repeated his old tricks and once again blasted through the right side with speed, even beating Hargreaves and Evra, and once again reached the edge of Manchester United's penalty area!

However, this time, the little tiger had speed but his rough technique and lack of football IQ were exposed; Walcott's cross was missed, it looked like a pass or a shot, but there was no speed and no angle, it was like a lob, but it was easily caught by Van der Sar who was guarding in front of the goal.

After the false alarm, Sir Alex Ferguson slightly adjusted the formation, letting Lizzie, whose speed could just keep up, to assist in defending Walcott, and letting Hargreaves freeze Fabregas.

After this adjustment, it really worked. In the 82nd minute, Fabregas sent a long diagonal pass to Walcott, who received the ball and wanted to break through Manchester United's defense again. But the little tiger's eyes and body movements were too direct. There was no need to start the burst point. Li Qi predicted it in advance. He made a flying tackle and directly blocked the ball at Walcott's feet with his long legs. The latter wanted to dribble the ball to speed up, but was directly blocked by Li Qi and flew out...

The ball was blocked, and the player couldn't control it, so it flew out in a dog-eating-shit shape... It's all the price to pay for being young!

Li Qi, who had intercepted the ball, also launched a counterattack. He lay on the grass and kicked the ball to Giggs in front. After receiving the ball, the latter did not hesitate and passed it diagonally to Saha on the left wing.

Saha turned around and pretended to force a breakthrough in the middle, but with a hidden flick of his ankle, he sent a straight pass to the left side of Arsenal's penalty area. Evra, who had just arrived at that position at high speed from behind, met the ball with a half-high cross aimed at the middle of the penalty area!

This goal seemed to be the same routine that Manchester United used to score their second goal, but this time Almunia didn't have time to intercept the cross, and Clichy didn't follow Ronaldo who cut into the middle of the penalty area.

Ronaldo met Evra's cross and volleyed the ball from 6 yards in front of the goal, sending the ball into Arsenal's goal for the third time in this game. This was also his third time scoring against Arsenal away from home, helping Manchester United to lead the score 3-3 again in the final period of the game!

So, the Magic Quartet once again performed an unarmed symphony in front of the audience seats where the away fans gathered. However, this time, even the other teammates who didn't know what was going on came to join in the fun, and began to automatically fill in the roles of playing the flute, cello, and even the conductor...

However, this time the celebration was missing Tevez who had been substituted. The heartless Li Qi was not worried at first. As long as he was not missing, it would be others who would be embarrassed!

But Li Qi, who didn't react until the celebration was over, couldn't help but cry out: Oh no! Will the rhythm be distorted? The four little swans are playing a symphony with their teammates?! After all, the Magic Quartet has only danced together once, and the impression is not deep enough! Damn...

Seeing that the team fell behind again, Professor Wenger would not sit still and wait for death. Before the restart, he made a desperate move and replaced two players in one go. In the 83rd minute, he used the double Silva combination - Da Silva and Gilberto Silva to replace Rosicky and Flamini respectively to strengthen the attack.

After the home team kicked off, they naturally went all out, completely ignoring the empty defense and launching a frantic counterattack into Manchester United's heartland. After all, there was no time left. If they couldn't catch up, losing one goal would also be a loss, and losing two goals would also be a loss.

In the 85th minute, Fabregas took a corner kick from the right side and Gallas shot wide from 10 yards away.

In the 90th minute, Kolo Toure suddenly made a forward run and passed the ball, and Da Silva's shot from 15 yards on the left side of the penalty area went wide.

As the game was about to end, Manchester United was about to win the decisive battle in the first half of the new season, but something jaw-dropping happened in the last minute of stoppage time.

The game was added with 4 minutes of extra time, and when the game reached the 93rd minute, the desperate Arsenal had already crossed the half court, and even goalkeeper Almunia took advantage of the corner kick and rushed into Manchester United's penalty area to look for opportunities.

However, just after Arsenal's corner kick was headed out of the penalty area by Vidic, Walcott, who was outside the penalty area, was the first to grab the ball and headed it to the left. The bench bandit Da Silva, who was on the left side, faked a shot, dodged Ronaldo's close defense, and made a curved cross.

This cross with good speed and angle was missed by Adebayor at the front point. However, the latter's obvious unintentional miss caused a scuffle in front of Manchester United's goal and in the small penalty area. Van der Sar attacked with several players between him but could not control the ball immediately, and several players from both the red and black sides also danced wildly but failed to kick the ball accurately.

In the end, Evra, who returned to the goal, saw an opportunity and cleared the ball with his left foot! However, the clearance ball hit Li Qi's crotch directly when he returned to defend and watched...

As a result, Li Qi failed to trigger the outbreak point in advance and was too careless to dodge as he was busy watching. For the second time in this game, he blocked the left-back's right-foot clearance into the empty goal, but this time it was his own goal behind him!

It seems that character is still conserved, regardless of whether there is a breaking point moment or not...

The sisters who were preparing to celebrate Manchester United and Li Qi's crucial victory in the box only heard the roar of the TV commentary and then looked at each other in bewilderment:

"Ditchoooooooooooo! Ditchoooooooooooo! Ditch! OwnGoal!"

"Li Qi scored another goal! But this goal was indeed an own goal for Arsenal!"

"It's almost the same as Li Qi's second goal... It's not a good idea to score twice in this way. This goal seems to be Li Qi's first own goal in his career!"

"Oh! The referee also blew the whistle to end the game at the same time, which means that Li Qi helped Arsenal equalize with Manchester United in the countdown period! This seems a bit cruel to Li Qi, and it's not his fault. Evra's long kick cleared the ball, and he rushed back to defend and couldn't dodge it in time..."

"Look at the slow motion. At the end he tried to dodge the ball by twisting his waist and shaking his hips, but unexpectedly he blocked the ball in an arc, which just passed over Van der Sar's hand and fell into the empty goal! It was really... indescribably wonderful!"

"But generally speaking, this Premier League top battle was really exciting. The final score was 3-3! The goals from both sides were mixed, Manchester United took the lead 3 times and were equalized 3 times. In particular, Manchester United's goal in the 82nd minute almost helped them secure the victory, but the tenacious Gunners still equalized the Red Devils in the last minute of stoppage time!"

"The deployment and command of the coaches of both teams were amazing. Li Qi's substitute appearance not only scored Manchester United's second goal, but also established Manchester United's midfield advantage; and Walcott and Da Silva's substitute appearances directly created Arsenal's last two key goals..."

"Arsenal continued their unbeaten streak this season after consecutive draws with strong opponents, while Manchester United's eight-game winning streak in the league was unfortunately ended..."

Although the first half of the game was rather dull, the second half was full of ups and downs and climaxes. There were 6 exciting goals in the whole game, especially 30 goals in the last 4 minutes of the game, which made the audience and fans excited. It was worthy of being the peak showdown of the Premier League in the new season.

Ricardo, who played both the angel and the devil at the same time, was naturally discussed by the media and fans after the game.

After the game, Ricardo asked Sir Alex for half a day off, hoping to return to the club the next day to report. Sir Alex knew that Ricardo's girlfriend was studying at a university in London, so he agreed to let Ricardo stay in London to heal the psychological trauma of his first own goal in his career through love.

However, during this half day in London, before Ricardo had time to complain about the media's self-conceit and wild imagination, he received consoling text messages from his confidantes one after another. Li Qi could only secretly reply behind Sarafina, who was wearing a silk brown nightgown: Damn, it's just an own goal. I haven't experienced any storms before, so I don't need to retire and change careers...

Then Ricardo received congratulatory messages from his parents and family members: If you can't stay in Manchester United, go back to Inter Milan, or Atalanta...

Then, friends also sent congratulatory messages: In this crucial battle that the whole world is watching, congratulations to Ricardo for scoring twice, winning both games and equalizing the game. Peace is the most precious thing. He is indeed an excellent double agent...

Ricardo took a deep breath, and his anger turned into a sound: Boom!

Damn, the water splash technique is still not up to par...

But first think about how to deal with these bastards. Oh, not those family members in front who are ignorant of the truth, worrying about nothing and having ulterior motives. Just ignore them. The main thing is this group of idiots in the back who are gloating over other people's misfortunes.

As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, you will get your shoes wet; if you often guard the door, you will make mistakes. No, I can't be so friendly...

If we are not one family, we will not score one goal. If we don’t score an own goal, we are not the real Red Devils... It seems that this is not acceptable, it is too cowardly.

No matter! Let me reply to Luke Shaw and Cristiano Ronaldo first. I hope you will get an own goal sooner or later. Oh no, cross it out. These two are teammates. An own goal will damage the performance of their own team. I'd better change it to wish that all they call are heavy tanks on route 50!

As for the other Mei Xiaoxi, Yi Xiaobai, A Xiaowei, Ma Xiaoka, and the dozen or so others, just wait, I curse you all to go to the Wulong Courtyard! I wish your whole family will have three Wulongs!

OK, send it to the group!

Boom!

Ah! This splash was not suppressed again. I wanted to pay tribute to the Chinese diving team, but now I have to wash it off.

Hmm, is this sexy purple lace panties Sarah's? Why is it hanging here? I need to help her put it away...

如果英超联盟官方提供的数据没错的话，本轮卫冕冠军曼联客场挑战阿森纳的这场“天王山大战”已经超越了拥有全球214个国家大约7.15亿电视观众的2006年世界杯决赛，成为电视转播有史以来观众人数最多的一场足球比赛：预计全世界有202个国家约6亿个家庭收看了这场榜首大战，观众人数应该在10亿到12亿之间！

At the game, the Emirates Stadium with a capacity of 6 was packed with a record number of people. Even on the day of the game, there were no direct trains between Manchester and London due to railway maintenance, but the away team's stands were still full.

Many of the previous focus battles like this that received excessive attention mostly ended in a dull battle, but in this round at the Emirates Stadium, the offensive and away teams, after a brief period of dullness, still used 6 twists and turns and exciting goals throughout the game to let the fans spend a rare weekend.

In the post-match press conference, Sir Alex Ferguson said: "No one will ask for a refund after the game."

On Saturday night, on the BBC's flagship program "Man of the Day", guest commentators, former Liverpool star Alan Hansen and former Chelsea world champion Marcel Desailly, also praised the quality of the game, and specifically pointed out several smooth offensive moves by both sides in the match, rather than just commenting on the goals themselves, which is quite rare in the history of the program.

The host Lineker concluded: "To be honest, I didn't expect to see such exciting football in the Premier League." It can be seen that, regardless of the results of the game and its significance, this event itself is already a super live advertisement for the Premier League and even the sport of football itself.

However, the media said this, which was not very friendly to Ricardo. After all, no one wants the scenes of their own goals to be taken out by major media every once in a while and included in various highlights...

In order to divert media attention, Ricardo was so anxious that his hair fell out, and he didn't even bother to discuss with the rest of the idiots how to prove it to the Magic Quartet.

Yes, the Magic Quartet is no longer important, the Four Little Swans are just the Four Little Swans, it is better than using own goals to advertise the Premier League or football, right?

I really want to strangle Evra to death. Can he be the protagonist? Even if he shares half of the responsibility, that's fine!

Please let me go...
