Chapter 434: Delivering troops

In the end, at the end of the first half, the score was temporarily frozen at 2:0. Manchester United led the visiting Arsenal with two goals with the goals of two new players, Rooney and Evra.

"Ferguson's tactics are successful," John Motterson said in the first half. "Rooney's goal came from Giggs' assists, Evra's goal came from Yin Jun's assists, and the players on the three fronts of Manchester United have performed well on the offensive end."

"In addition, in the middle, Phil Neville and Yin Jun successfully restricted Arsenal's midfield. Vieira worked very hard and wanted to control the game. But objectively speaking, Manchester United's restrictions on him in the middle today were relatively successful. I was worried that the midfielder of Yin Jun and Phil Neville could compete with Vieira and Edu, but from this first half, their performance exceeded my expectations!"

"It's not just that, Giggs and Cristiano Ronaldo are more active on both wings today, which to some extent limits Arsenal's wing attack."

"In this game, the young men of Manchester United performed so well. The two goals were scored by two young players Rooney and Evra respectively. Although Cristiano Ronaldo and Yin Jun did not score, their performance was also very impressive."

"The Portuguese completely suppressed Ashley Cole on the right, leaving Cole exhausted from defense in the first half and had almost no performance on the offensive end."

"Although Yin Jun did not score, he had an assist. In addition, he did not perform more on the offensive end because he retreated from position and built a dike with Phil Neville in the midfield to block Arsenal's offensive. Yin Jun, who has always been excellent in offense and organization, also showed extraordinary strength on the defensive end today!"

"Arsenal is a delicate team. Only after combining technical content and offensive speed can Arsenal play very well. If there is a link that doesn't go smoothly, the whole team looks a little strange."

……………………

The commentator is right. Arsenal has two problems today. One is the middle lane issue, but the biggest problem is that their wing lane has been successfully restricted by Manchester United.

Ferguson arranged Yin Jun to retreat and form a double midfielder with Phil Neville, which directly locked Arsenal in the midfield. Then on the wing, Giggs and Ronaldo could attack the opponent's wings unscrupulously. This directly put a lot of pressure on Arsenal. Lauren and Ashley Cole's feeling is the most intuitive. Arsenal's two full-backs spend most of their time doing nothing on the wing, passing some balls, or passing the ball without anyone.

Even if the score is behind, there are not many shots of two full-backs rushing with the ball.

Wenger is also an experienced old coach. He naturally has a clear understanding of the problems that Arsenal had in the first half, and during the halftime break, he adjusted the team's position and tactics.

Henry retreated from the front line, and he appeared at the left-handed forward, along with Ashley Cole, to rush Manchester United's right on the left, suppressing Cristiano Ronaldo's activity while seeking a goal opportunity on the left.

Ferguson decisively made a substitution adjustment. He removed Fanny, who was average today, replaced the young player Fletcher, and formed a double midfielder with Phil Neville. Yin Jun mentioned the position he was best at, and was responsible for organizing the offense.

Fletcher is the one on the right of the two midfielders, and Ferguson wants to use Fletcher, who has stronger sweeping ability to suppress Henry.

The effect of this substitution adjustment is very obvious, and Wenger's tactical adjustment was once again successfully curbed by Ferguson's targeted adjustment.

……………………

The game was in a deadlock, and no one could break through the opponent's goal, whether it was Manchester United or Arsenal.

The camera gave a close-up of the coach seat on the sidelines. Ferguson sat in his seat with a calm expression. Wenger was standing on the sidelines, with the professor's hands in his pockets and paced constantly.

Ferguson is not in a hurry. Manchester United didn't score because they didn't need to score. The score was 2:0. They have the advantage of two goals. They are not anxious about it. Just keep it. So they focus more on defense during this period.

Facing Manchester United's steady defense, Arsenal really has no good way.

Originally, Manchester United's defense has exposed major problems in the past two seasons, but after consecutive days of Yin Jun Ferdinand and Vidic, Manchester United's defense has improved.

Ferdinand and tall defender Vidic are the most tough central defender partner in the Premier League. French left-back Evra has good defense ability, good assists, and good footwork, and does not lack flexibility. He and Gary Neville on the right, both right and left, both offense and defense.

Wenger was a little anxious, and he made a substitution, and he replaced Edu with Pire.

……………………

"Wenger is anxious." Ferguson's eyes lit up.

Edu is very important for Arsenal's midfield defense. With him on the court, Vieira can focus more energy on the offensive end. Now Edu has been replaced, and the replacement of Pire is obviously a signal to strengthen the offense, but Arsenal's defense today has a big problem. Such a substitution is simply exposing their defense line to Manchester United's attack!

Pire played Edu's position, and this French player performed well on the offensive end, but his defense was a lot worse.

When he was young, Pire was indeed good at both offense and defense, but now Pire is 31 years old. I think he has performed well on both offense and defense, especially in a super dialogue with Manchester United, which is really a bit difficult.

Perhaps Wenger didn't think about defending anymore. After all, Arsenal is now behind Manchester United two goals, and if he doesn't strengthen his offense and strive to score, it will be too late to go.

Ferguson immediately made a targeted substitution, Alan Smith came on as a substitute, and he replaced Phil Neville.

This is a signal, a signal to strengthen the offense.

Arsenal's defensive power has weakened, so Manchester United no longer has to maintain double midfielders. Since his debut, Alan Smith has been known for his ability to disrupt the field, which has also earned him the title of "bad boy". Ferguson has replaced him on the court now, just to let him disrupt the Arsenal's defense on the front line.

What a control team like Arsenal is most afraid of is that the opponents are fighting against him. If you really want to compete with him in a stern battle, fighting against ball control and attack on the court, even with Manchester United's strength, you are likely not an opponent. So Ferguson did not intend to face the head-on battle with Arsenal's swords, swords, guns, and guns. He just wanted to use the tactic of killing the master with random punches.

This is the tactic of many other Premier League teams against Manchester United, and now Ferguson uses it to deal with Wenger's Arsenal.
