Three hundred and fifty sixth, sprinkle salt on the wound

The matchup with Arsenal at Old Trafford was very low-key.

The recent situation is not very good. On the other hand, Arsenal are in a very good state. They have defeated Middlesbrough and Manchester City by a large score, and came to Manchester with a winning streak. This game is a battle of revenge for Arsenal.

Wenger also said that the disastrous defeat at home was an accident, and he believes his team has come out of the shadow of this defeat, and everyone will see a brand new Arsenal at Old Trafford accept.

Boyas pointed out in the report sent to Mourinho before the game that Arsenal's recent tactics have also undergone certain changes. Berri is separated into two flanks, Pires plays the front midfielder, Vieira and Gilberto Silva play double midfielders, and the defense line has not changed much.

It was this set of tactics that allowed Arsenal to beat Middlesbrough and Manchester City 4:1 and 1:6, while also chasing the same point gap to 3 points.

As long as this strong dialogue is won, Arsenal will tie the points, and the next thing will be much easier!

At the pre-match press conference, Mourinho reacted calmly to some remarks made by reporters about Arsenal's recent excellent form. He said that his team would stick to offensive tactics at home and would never show weakness!

"You see Arsenal winning by a big score, but you don't even think about it. Arsenal have conceded 4 goals in the last 5 league rounds. The problem with their defense is always there. Ashley Cole is not at all. The main reason for Arsenal's disastrous home defeat is that if we don't solve the defensive problems, Arsenal still can't beat us!"

Regarding Mourinho's confident speech, the reporter's understanding is that Terry's suspension and the return of Drogba, Essien, and Kolo Toure have relieved the shortage of manpower, and also made Mourinho Ou can think about countermeasures more generously.

In the end he decided on the starting lineup, the goalkeeper is Cech, the defense line from left to right is Evra, Vidic, Curtis, Maicon, the double midfielders are Beckham and De Rossi, Kaka As the attacking midfielder, the two wingers are Ronaldinho and Palacio, and the single striker is Drogba.

Kolo Toure and Essien have just returned to the team after playing the national team. The laboratory feels that their physical fitness is not ideal enough. In addition, Maicon and De Rossi have performed very well recently, so Mourinho Decided to continue trusting these two players.

As for Terry, he has just come back after a long absence, what he needs most is to play a few more games, find out his status, and let him appear in such a crucial game at once, that is a gamble, and Wei Wei Dicky's recent performance is indeed good, and he and Curtis' partner have also established a tacit understanding.

If there is no accident, in the next season, Terry, Curtis and Vidic will compete and rotate, and Chiellini will be the substitute of the three. The Italian teenager has made great progress, but It is still unable to shake the main position of the three.

Mourinho also attaches great importance to Chiellini, because in a mature team, bench players often determine the level of performance. In the position of central defender, at least 3 high-level first-class central defenders must be rotated. It would be even better to have 4.

This lineup is currently the most suitable lineup. Mourinho's tactics are still very clear, press up and play, forcing Arsenal's defense to make mistakes. If they don't make mistakes, then create opportunities for them to make mistakes!

…………… Wenger is well aware of the problem of the defense line. He was very optimistic about Curtis before. In fact, this player’s performance this season is indeed very good, and he is the best performer in the Premier League. One of the best central defenders, especially in the absence of Terry, it is a pity that he will not come to Arsenal again.

Campbell is the only reassuring player among the central defenders. Keown and Sigam are neither of the stable type. Wenger knows that the shortcomings of the central defenders are the reason that restricts Arsenal from going further this season, so he has already asked the club to contact them. Chelsea's French defender Gallas,

At the same time, he is also focusing on carving Senderos in the team.

In this match, Wenger paid the most attention to the team's defense. He knew very well that the attack was too strong, and once the defense showed a slight flaw, the attacking players would smell like blood. Like a shark.

The double defensive midfielders protect the defense, Pires sits in the midfield and connects up and down, and the single striker gives Henry the greatest freedom in the frontcourt.

Arsenal's new formation does make many Premier League teams at a loss, but in the face of it, they are obviously not integrated enough.

In the 34th minute, after attacking for nearly half an hour, Palacio got rid of Ashley Korneche on the right and was fouled by Sigan in the penalty area. The referee undoubtedly awarded a penalty The ball was scored by Palacio himself.

The score was maintained until halftime.

Wenger made some adjustments to the team in the midfield, strengthening the frontcourt to press, which made it a disadvantage. Maicon made a right-handed kick back and was intercepted by Henry. The latter accelerated and threw away Nemanja Vidic entered the penalty area and assisted Pires, who was inserted in the back row, to score 1:1!

After equalizing the score, Arsenal obviously strengthened their offensive, but they retreated steadily.

After retracting, he played more flexibly, and the positions of the players on the court appeared to be very fluid. Drogba frequently retreated to respond, allowing Ronaldinho and Palacio on the two sides to decisively cut inside. Ribs, plus Kaka's rear plug.

In the 68th minute, Campbell made a big foot clearance in the penalty area. After Beckham stopped the ball with his chest, he passed the ball diagonally to the left. , entered the penalty area, assisted Palacio who ran from an air cut and scored another goal, 2:1!

After taking the lead again, he began to play more calmly and intelligently, and his offensive was neither fast nor slow. On the contrary, Arsenal's defense was full of mistakes and omissions. The success came back, but Arsenal also failed to play an effective offensive.

The 2:1 score allowed the Premier League to complete the feat of double-killing Arsenal in the first season. At the same time, it also allowed the top 4 teams in the standings to score 5 wins and 1 draw in the 6 games played.

Although the victory over Arsenal is very exciting, but in Liverpool, Manchester United also defeated Everton with difficulty.

The game between Manchester United and Everton was very worrying. Manchester United first scored 3 goals in one go for Everton within half an hour of the first half, but Moyes made adjustments in the second half and returned it within 30 minutes. scored 3 goals for Manchester United, and has also maintained the suppression of Manchester United.

At the last moment, Ruud van Nistelrooy stepped forward and scored the second goal of the game at the last moment, helping Manchester United get 3 points. The new French striker Saha scored two goals during the winter break. After Manchester United, the third goal scored in two games, the momentum is growing.

……………… beat Arsenal at Old Trafford, went north to Leeds non-stop, and challenged Leeds United away.

This youth team, once famous in the Premier League and even in Europe, has fallen into the relegation zone this season due to the troubles of the financial crisis. It currently has the same points as the newly promoted Leicester City team, but they are at the bottom of the list and are the most vocal team for relegation. Team.

Xiao Yu admired Leeds United quite a lot in his previous life, but now he is the boss, especially at the critical moment when the team is grabbing points, he naturally gives his full support.

Since there was just a bloody battle with Arsenal three days ago, Mourinho arranged for some players to rest in this game, but the team still defeated Leeds United, which was very tenacious, 0:2.

After the team established the lead, John Terry was replaced by Mourinho in the 65th minute, allowing him to familiarize himself with the rhythm of the Premier League game. At the same time, he also entered the FA Cup lineup.

On February 15th, 4 days after the game against Leeds United, Mourinho went south to London. Mourinho still lined up a lineup of substitutes and youth players to participate in the FA Cup away game against Fulham.

Terry played the whole game as the starting central defender, and his performance was not bad. The central defender combination of him and Chiellini also caused a lot of trouble for Fulham, but the team ended up 2:1 Lost to Fulham, ended the FA Cup trip this season.

Although the League Cup and the FA Cup failed to achieve results, many youth team players showed strong strength, including Ismail, Messi, Michael Johnson, John Obi Mikel and Cesc Fabregas, these players all performed very well in these two major cups.

Among them, Ismail, Messi and Cesc Fabregas have all served as substitutes in the first team. I believe that as they gradually grow, they will play more important roles in the team in the future, while Michael Johnson and Mick Er is also worth looking forward to.

Although the younger brothers lost in London, the main players who were the big brothers saved face for the younger brothers in Manchester.

Due to two games in a week, one home and one away, Fulham carried out a certain rotation, but when they were a guest at Old Trafford, they were bloodbathed by the main lineup 6-0 and became the goal of the season. most games.

After playing Fulham at home, they will immediately start preparing for the UEFA Cup round of 32 knockout rounds. The two-round match, first home and then away, the schedule is relatively unfavorable, but Mourinho obviously prefers to end the battle at home. 360 search: (.*)☆\\\\half^float^sheng//☆=

In the pre-match tactical seminar, Boyas highlighted the threat of PSV, that is, their arrow character Kai Germain, and their midfielder Van Bommel, these two players are also in Xiao Yu's previous life Impressive player.

Kayman almost won the European Golden Boot last year. He scored 35 goals in 33 games in the Dutch league. He has also performed very well this season. He is currently leading the Dutch scorer list and is currently the most popular player in Europe. one of the stars.

As for Van Bommel, this player is a typical Dutch iron-blooded tough guy, and he is a player with both offense and defense.

Eindhoven also placed high hopes on Kaiserman just as they valued Kaiserman, because this player performed well in the group stage of the Champions League. The attention of other giants.

Arnesen, who had played against Arnessen in the transfer market before, when he saw the starting lineup, he couldn't get angry because he saw Robben, who used to be his favorite A new star who is valued, but was dug to Manchester, and he is not the main force yet.

"? They are not as strong as the outside rumors, we will defeat them, because we have a super Kelman!" The proud Arneson seemed to use Kelman to comfort himself for missing Robben.

Although Mourinho did not have a verbal battle with Arnesen, who was acting as his substitute, before the game, he did not hesitate to sprinkle salt on Arnesen's bloody wound!
