Chapter 403 Facial Goal
Manchester United's home game against Arsenal is the focus of this round, and it is also the last game.
In the previous game, another focus battle was fought at White Hart Lane Stadium, with Chelsea's 1-1 away draw with Tottenham Hotspur. Pavlyuchenko took the lead, and Drogba came on as a substitute to equalize the score, but Drogba lost the penalty in stoppage time. Chelsea's points in the last five rounds are tied with Manchester United in two games, and Tottenham Hotspur is unbeaten in six rounds.
The substitute "Warcraft" Drogba became the protagonist of the White Hart Lane Stadium. His powerful shot equalized Chelsea's score, but the penalty kick "banquet" made his team lose the victory. After Chelsea drew 1-1 with their Premier League opponent Tottenham Hotspur in the 17th round, they have encountered the embarrassment of losing five rounds. At present, they have 31 points, less Arsenal and Manchester City 1 point, the same score as Manchester United in the second round of the year, only ranking fourth in the standings.
On that day, Tottenham Hotspur took the lead, and Russian Pavlyuchenko made a low shot in the 15th minute.
In the fight again, Chelsea coach Ancelotti quickly sent the Idyvanian Drogba to play. "Warcraft" also lived up to expectations and scored at a small angle in the 70th minute to equalize the score. Seeing that the game was coming to an end, Tottenham's goalkeeper Gomez made a big mistake and put Ramirez down in the penalty area, giving Chelsea a valuable penalty in the second minute of stoppage time. However, Gomez immediately made up for his success and successfully saved Drogba's penalty kick, and the two teams ended the battle 1-1.
Head coach Ancelotti explained why Drogba sent a penalty at the last minute. In addition, when commenting on the Blues' performance in this game, he thought the team showed signs of returning to the right track.
Chelsea got a penalty in stoppage time, but Drogba's penalty was saved. At that time, the fixed penalty kicker Lampard had already played as a substitute, but did not play. To this question, Ancelotti explained: "Lampard can't take this penalty, because he has not been able to train."
Although Drogba lost the penalty, Ancelotti still praised him for his excellent performance. After Warcraft came out, he scored a goal to equalize, and the creation of the penalty kick also contributed to him. An Shuai said, "Droba missed the penalty, but he performed well and scored a good goal."
When it comes to the performance of the team, the Italians think there are positive signs. Winning is very important. We should have won, but we didn't. But I think we are on the right path, and this game shows that we are back on track.
"We played very well. We didn't lose our calmness and control of the game when we were behind. We should win. It's very close. We will win the next game (against Manchester United)."
Chelsea captain Terry also talked about the game. He said, "Who made it clear that the penalty kick didn't make it clear that Drogba was brave to take the penalty. The penalty kick is like this. Sometimes you will score, and sometimes you miss it."
"I think we should have won, especially in the second half, we are in full control of the game, which is more like what we know Chelsea."
On the other hand, before the focus battle between Manchester United and Arsenal on Monday, the war of words between the two sides has become more and more fierce. Following Evra's criticism that Arsenal is a team that can't win the championship, the Gunners' best French star Nasri recently stood up and said that the devil's court of Old Trafford has become no longer terrible.
The last time Arsenal won in this field was in 2006, but Nasri said that Manchester United's home game has long been lost. In my opinion, Manchester United is no longer the same team as before. When Cristiano Ronaldo and Tevez were here, it was a little daunting to come to Old Trafford to play.
"And now, I think their attack is not as good as before. Maybe they are still a strong team. We will take a look, but we are full of confidence in the good results from this game."
Nasri is undoubtedly Arsenal's most popular role recently. He has scored 12 goals this season. Speaking of the outbreak, the 23-year-old Frenchman said: "I had such a good rest for the first time this summer, two months. I'm very used to the Premier League now. I'm full of confidence, and my teammates also have confidence in me. I feel very good. Wenger believes that the biggest change in Nasri is in psychology. If you are not sure that you can score, you will be affected. When you taste the taste of scoring, it will continue to strengthen your confidence. I think this is the biggest change in Nasri. He now knows that he may score in every game, and he believes so in the game.
In addition to Nasri, Arsenal's French defender Sarnia also fought back against Evra. He said, "I will never allow myself to criticize another team, which shows disrespect for his opponents. Evra likes to provoke his opponents and make the atmosphere tense. This is the way he does things, but it won't affect me at all. "You guys."
Arsenal coach Wenger believes that the Gunners have the ability to play a wonderful performance against Manchester United. I know that my team will be full of energy at that time. I am always full of confidence in my players. Before Manchester United, don't have any distractions. There is no need to think about their weaknesses and our weaknesses. We just need to focus on the game, play at the best level, play football with confidence, and fight for each other. We There is a good chance to beat anyone.
Last season, as a guest at Old Trafford, Wenger was sent off for kicking a water bottle, but because there was no guidance from others, the professor had no way out on the road and was finally forced to climb the roof of the player's channel. As a result, he was booed by Manchester United fans there.
After that game, Hackett, the head of the referee's committee, personally wrote a letter to the professor to apologize. In this Monday's competition, the Dream Theater is also ready to give the outside world a hospitable image. Before the game, Ferguson asked the club fans to be polite in the watching guide, the Lord thought. Abusing the professor with embarrassing words (such as calling Wenger a pedophile) is equivalent to using the scars of the Munich air crash to provoke Manchester United. Manchester United is now ready to use heavy penalties for fans who have not changed, including canceling season tickets or banning entry.
Some Arsenal fans cautiously welcomed Manchester United's kindness.
Wenger said that mutual importance should be based on the consensus of both sides. The professor said: "Every time Manchester United visits Arsenal, we always encourage fans to respect him (Ferguson) and his players, and that's what I can do. For so many years, people have known what happened in the stands. I can't control what 70,000 or 80,000 fans will say. I can only follow my own concept of responsibility. But the important thing is that this is not a game between Ferguson and Wenger. This is Manchester United and Arsenal. The key is how the two teams play their own level and contribute an exciting game.
Before the competition began, Blackburn coach Allardy, who was beaten 7:1 by Manchester United in the last round, was dismissed.
"Stupid! Ridiculous!" This is Ferguson's first reaction to Allardy's class. As we all know, the Lord and Allardyce had a good relationship, and Ferguson couldn't suppress his anger. In order to show his anger to his buddy, he bombarded the Indian boss of Blackburn.
"Allardyce called at 3:30 p.m. and asked me to have a drink after the game tonight, because he will come to the game. But I got a call from him again at 4:30, and he told me, 'I was fired'. I've never heard such a stupid decision in my life. It's ridiculous. I really don't know what they (Blackburn executives) want to do. To be honest, this is simply against common sense and rules. It's ridiculous. I don't want to experience the same tragic experience as him.
Allardyce is a veteran coach of the Premier League. Although he has not coached the giants, he has not done well in leading small and medium-sized teams. He has a good reputation in the Premier League. Even Capello listed Allardess and Red Knapp, who led Tottenham Hotspur this season as two when looking forward to the successor of his England coach. Great candidate. Blackburn is temporarily ranked 13th in the Premier League this season, which is still some distance away from the relegation zone. He chose to expel Allardess before the middle of the season. What medicine does Blackburn sell in this gourd?
The Mirror pointed out that Allardy's class is like a blindfolded chicken slaughtered. In fact, he is planning the introduction of new players for the team in the transfer market, including Carlton Cole and Nzobia.
Allardydeth said last night that he was very shocked and disappointed with the class, but when Blackburn's senior management told him to play a good game, Allardyce should be able to foresee a big disaster. In this way that Allardyce was never good at, his team lost 1-7 to Manchester United. Boss Blackburn wants a beautiful football, but obviously Aldeth is not "sexy" enough.
According to The Sun, Allardyce's de-schooling also aroused the anger of Blackburn players.
Captain Nelson said: "I only appreciate him. I feel sorry that he was kicked out like this. If we beat Bolton last weekend, the team will be ranked seventh, but Allardyce left at this time, and everyone in the team felt unhappy. Even striker Roberts, who doesn't have a good relationship with Allardyce, thinks that firing Allardyce is a bad decision. I feel sorry for him. I didn't expect this. The locker room is now full of shock and disappointment.
The Mirror said that Allardyce will receive 1.5 million pounds of liquidated damages as a break-up fee. The newspaper also revealed that another reason why he was eager to drive away "Big Sam" was that Blackburn aimed at a heavy fish - Maradona.
It is said that Blackburn's Indian boss is negotiating with the Argentine superstar, hoping that he will return to the world and lead Blackburn's once brilliant team back to the top ranks.
Maradona led the Argentine national team to the South Africa World Cup this summer. Although he was finally dismissed because Argentina did not make it to the top four, the owner of Blackburn (India) Wenji Group still regards him as the ideal candidate for the team's coach. In their minds, at least Maradona is more personal charm than Alledis. Although Lao Ma has never coached in Europe, his great performance during his time in Barcelona and Naples still made him a god-like figure in Spain and Italy.
The insider revealed: "Maradona is the target chosen by Wenji Group, and he will be invited to be the coach or coach or even technical director of Blackburn." It is reported that Maradona will seriously consider Blackburn's invitation, and he, who is currently idle at home, also hopes to return to the coaching position as soon as possible.
If you come, you will go. There will always be news about the Premier League.
Even the latest products endorsed by Li Yu can be hyped by the media, and Nike Tenglong's new products are on the market.
However, the British media didn't buy it much, rating the latest Tenglong boots as the ugliest boots.
They use impractical to describe the new boots, and the so-called latest technology is just a gimmick in their opinion.
No matter what the British media said, in fact, the boots were very popular in Europe and were sold out as soon as they were put on the shelves.
Facts speak louder than words, even more so in the Huaxia region that was released earlier!
The media in other countries satirize their British counterparts.
Huaxia Media used a popular saying today, envy and hatred!
Li Yu's influence has long surpassed that of the field, especially in Asia. If reporters are randomly interviewed on the street, there is no need to think that their favorite football star must be Li Yu.
Although there is still a gap here in Europe, Li Yu is also loved by many fans, and the hot sales of new combat boots are for sure.
Before the start of the competition, Li Yu personally signed her name on a pair of new shoes on Sky TV's program. This special pair of shoes will be auctioned online, and the auction proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross.
Of course, Ferguson doesn't like to make some programs before the game, but now the old man doesn't have many opinions. Li Yu has always done a good job on the field, and he has no reason to say anything.
He is a pure footballer and doesn't like those entertainment and shows!
But Li Yu did not affect the performance of the game, and the old man never said much.
The master and apprentice were also at peace with each other and did not repeat some cracks that people did not want to see.
Manchester United beat Arsenal last season. The Gunners have only won one game in the last 10 visits to Old Trafford, with 2 draws and 7 losses in the remaining 9 games. The two sides have played 36 games in the Premier League history. Manchester United has the upper hand with 15 wins, 11 draws and 10 losses, including 10 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses at home. This is the 210th match between the two sides, after Manchester United had the upper hand with 86 wins, 46 draws and 77 losses. Wenger surprisingly arranged 20-year-old Szesni's first Premier League start, and Fabregas recovered from injury and went to the bench. Li Yu, who scored 5 goals against Blackburn two weeks ago, started the game. Van der Sar returned and Fletcher took turns.
The focus campaign is also extremely popular.
Both sides have arranged heavy troops to compete for the midfield. Besides, the two teams have never had a lot of **. The situation of people turning upside down can be seen every few minutes.
It seems that the Premier League referee committee foresees this situation, and the appointed referee Weber has always been known for his loose penalties.
Of course, Arsenal has always complained about this. Weber still has the title of Manchester United's lucky star in the British media. In his penalty, Manchester United's winning rate is extremely high.
But at the scene of the game, there were some signs of getting out of control. The players of the two teams kicked me, and you shoveled me, and gradually got angry.
The scene almost got out of control, and Manchester United fans were even more dissatisfied with the referee Weber's penalty, especially the yellow card warning for Li Yu.
Sarnia's dangerous action tackle was not awarded a penalty. Instead, Li Yu came forward to complain and got a yellow card.
Ferguson began to be unable to sit still. The iconic chewing gum and looking at the watch was staged on the sidelines again. He quickly walked down the stairs from the home team coach to the sidelines.
Not to mention, when the old man fought on the sidelines, Manchester United immediately became much more stable.
Stability alone is not enough, Arsenal is not a vegetarian, and they are not here to send points when they come to Old Trafford.
The game was still anxious, and the two teams still maintained 0:0 in the first half!
At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United accelerated the pace of attack and tried to take the initiative immediately.
As an old opponent, Wenger's team is also familiar with Manchester United's attack.
Manchester United's opening three-board axe did not work on Arsenal.
Li Yu has been a little impatient in the game. After the cooperation with Rooney was blocked by Arsenal, he had to complete a series of actions by himself, but the effect was not good.
The game is very fierce, but the fierceness is not enough. The two teams are restraining each other. Whether it is the head coach or each other's players, the two teams really know each other too well.
In the past ten years, there are no secrets between their old enemies.
In terms of advantages, the most obvious are the Manchester United fans at Old Trafford. They are always singing and shouting. They are Manchester United's biggest advantage in this game.
In the constant shouts and cheers of Manchester United fans, Manchester United finally broke the deadlock on the field in the 82nd minute.
It was not someone else who scored, but Li Yu, the king of heaven in the second half, but this shot was quite comical.
Manchester United No. 9 hit the ball into the goal with his left cheek.
However, I really want to thank Arsenal goalkeeper Szesney, who went out to relieve the siege in advance. It was his boxer's mistake in hitting the ball that made a funny goal in such a fierce game.
Li Yu had a natural expression in the camera, as if he was not sure about everything.
Looking at the extremely annoyed Szesney and picking up the football to vent, you will know how much this mistake has affected him.
1:0!
Li Yu hasn't scored such a strange goal for a few days. When he was in Italy, he had a few, but now he is really a little embarrassed.
However, the fans at the scene were extremely excited, laughing and excited. Sometimes luck is the key factor in determining the final outcome of the game.
At this time, it makes fans more enjoyable and dramatic!
A focus battle of a strong confrontation ended with a score of 1:0.
Manchester United led the way with a 5-game winning streak at home, and Arsenal's 4-game winning streak ended.
In the table, Manchester United has led Chelsea by 2 points in the first round, and finally reached the top of the league table.
It was followed by Manchester City, the sworn enemy of the same city. They were 1 point behind Manchester United and ranked second.
