In 5 minutes, Jia Yi picked a pass again, Van Persie turned around and volleyed in the penalty area, but Carroll flew to save the bottom line.
Carol also roared, looking very excited.
Manchester United players are collectively very excited today, which indeed brought a lot of resistance to Arsenal.
Van Persie was a little depressed, feeling like he was coming, but the heroic performance of the opponent's goalkeeper made his efforts in vain!
In 7 minutes, Jia Yi made consecutive breakthroughs in the middle, and then made a powerful long-range shot. The ball was pounced by Carroll.
Van Persie was so angry that he almost slapped himself in the face. The supplementary shot from such a close range did not go in. In this situation, his behavior is hardly satisfactory.
Sure enough, Wenger below was a little annoyed, and rushed to the sidelines to spray.
The Arsenal fans also had a good time, thinking that their grandma could also score goals if they went up.
They are obviously a little dissatisfied with Van Persie.
It was Jia Yi who came over, patted Van Persie on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, just follow your own ideas."
Jia Yi knew that Van Persie was a top shooter, as long as he adjusted well, he would definitely be able to score goals.
The two sides then entered into a strangulation battle, and both strengthened the fight in the middle.
Jia Yi is also often kicked on his back. Fortunately, he has invisible knee pads and invisible socks, and his legs are double-secured, so it is difficult to be kicked.
Moreover, Jia Yi runs too much. It seems that some people worry about his physical fitness, but in fact, his physical fitness is not a problem at all.
Even running back and forth, he can still deal with it calmly.
On Manchester United's side, Ronaldo has also been kicked to the ground by Vieira many times. Vieira's condition is not very good, and he is at a disadvantage in the competition with Ronaldo.
In the box in the stands, Abu's face was very ugly. He thought of what Jia Yi said, and he also decided to sell Vieira during the winter break.
Although, Wenger probably won't be satisfied.
Fortunately, the teammate's defense is not bad. Ljungberg withdrew many times to help Vieira limit Ronaldo.
In the blink of an eye, four to ten minutes passed. Compared with the previous contest, the number of goals scored by both sides this time was much less.
It is also difficult for Arsenal, who play one less player, to break through the gate of Manchester United.
The Manchester United team is playing steadily. This is a knockout match, and the outcome will be determined by one game. After they lead, they don't want to take risks.
Manchester United should have borrowed some of Liverpool's methods of dealing with Jia Yi, and let Keane and Fletcher double-team Jia Yi. The two cooperated very well this time, and Jia Yi's breakthrough was well restricted.
Although Van Persie and Henry could receive Jia Yi's pass, they were also defended tenaciously by Manchester United, and they were stared at with no temper at all.
This rhythm, no matter how you look at it, is the rhythm of Manchester United winning.
Wenger was also walking around on the sidelines, unable to think of any good solution.
Now there is only one goal gap, which is quite difficult. Both sides may be thinking about stability and dare not take the risk of changing the current lineup.
Now Wenger can only hope that a certain star under his command can have a flash of inspiration and equalize the score.
At this moment, Ronaldo suddenly got rid of Vieira's entanglement horizontally, and then kicked a long shot. The ball hit the lower edge of the crossbar and bounced into the goal, 2:0!
Old Trafford suddenly burst into cheers, and Manchester United fans celebrated wildly.
Now that the team leads by two goals, and there is one more player, today's game must be won.
On the sidelines, Ferguson also had a brilliant old face and was very satisfied with the team's performance.
Although the game is not very good-looking, it is the correct tactic to win against old opponents.
Wenger was a little confused, scratching his head.
Now an adjustment has to be made and the team has to step up their offense.
But the team has one less player. Once an offensive player is replaced, a defensive player is bound to be removed. Then how should the team respond?
The game was re-kick-off, and there was not much time left in the first half of the game. Arsenal seized the last time to attack.
As soon as Jia got the ball, Fletcher and Keane surrounded him again.
Jia Yi got rid of it diagonally, and Keane fell to the ground and shoveled the ball out of the sideline.
The referee then blew the halftime whistle, and Manchester United led 2-0 in the first half.
Back in the locker room, Wenger walked in with a dissatisfied face.
As soon as he came in, Wenger scolded Van Persie bloody.
"Xiao Fan, what the hell are you playing? Why don't you seize such a good opportunity?"
Wenger said angrily, he is rarely so fierce, and usually looks gentle.
Van Persie didn't dare to look up, so he could only bear Wenger's anger with his head down.
It's no wonder that Wenger can't scold Jia Yi or Henry, so naturally he can only scold Van Persie.
After scolding for a while, Wenger turned to Ashley Cole and scolded: "Is your brain flooded? You are not a newcomer anymore, don't you know the severity?
You're cool, we're two behind now, don't you think you should apologize? "
Ashley Cole didn't dare to retort, but his eyeballs kept rolling, and he obviously had an opinion in his heart.
"Damn Arsene, put the blame on me, why?
Well, it seems that it is time to consider Chelsea's offer. "
Ashley Cole thought to himself.
After training for a while, Wenger also started to get down to business.
"In the second half, we must strengthen our offense, Jia Yi, you don't need to retreat, attack with all your strength, use your personal ability, and try to get one back first.
Thierry, you pay attention to your movement and involve Manchester United's defense.
Xiao Fan, you have to run with me, if you don't play well, come down and rest. "
After Wenger finished speaking, he walked aside alone and smoked a cigar.
Jia Yi comforted his teammates, but when talking with Ashley Cole, the latter didn't care at all. His expression made Jia Yi feel a little helpless.
It seems that Arsenal will lose a general.
On the contrary, Jia Yi didn't have any opinion on Wenger's arrangement. The team really needed to stay in the front to make things worse for the team to strengthen their offense.
If you still have to take care of both sides, it will be difficult to guarantee the efficiency of your offense.
After all, I am a human being, not a god.
The time for the second half game is up, and the two sides come out to continue the game.
Manchester United still adopts double-team tactics, leaving Jia Yi with no good solution.
Kean and Fletcher are already masters. Once they play normally, it will not be so easy for Jia Yi to get rid of them.
Several passes, although Henry and Van Persie also went all out, but they didn't score.
Seeing this, Wenger immediately signaled for Dong Fangzhuo to warm up.
Jia Yi was taken aback. If Xiao Dong came up, wouldn't he be top-heavy?
Soon, the sign for substitution was raised, Dong Fangzhuo went up, Lauren went down.
He subconsciously ran over and said to Wenger: "Professor, we can't change Lauren, or our defense will be even worse."
Wenger was also taken aback, he didn't expect that Jia Yi would actually question his decision to make a substitution.
However, Wenger also said patiently: "Jia Yi, you don't have to worry, I will let Ljungberg and Arshavin back at that time, as long as the frontcourt maintains the offensive and suppresses the opponent's players, the pressure on our defense will be fine. It will be much smaller."
Jia Yi also calmed down now. In fact, he really shouldn't have argued with Wenger just now.
Among generals, this is a taboo.
Jia Yi immediately ran back, Dong Fangzhuo came up to the left, and changed positions with Henry, while Henry moved to the middle, forming a good echo with Jia Yi.
And Ferguson also walked to the sidelines and made some gestures. It seemed that he must be asking the players to catch and counterattack.
But at this time, Jia Yi suddenly changed positions with Henry in the middle, dribbled the ball away from Keane, rushed into the penalty area and dunked, raised his left foot and shot, the ball went into the net, 2:1, Arsenal finally regained a point.
Van Persie rushed into the goal, picked up the ball and ran towards the middle.
This guy's attitude is okay, more positive.
Jia Yi didn't celebrate either, but called his teammates to go back.
The Manchester United players were slow, and the referee greeted several times before they kicked off again.
The game continued, Arsenal players quickly stepped up, and the morale was quite strong at the moment.
Jia Yi stared at Scholes, and Scholes' movement was also very floating, not so easy to steal the ball.
Cristiano Ronaldo takes more balls from the side, and it is even more difficult to break.
Suddenly, Ronaldo made an inside cut and another long shot!
This time, Lehman finally showed his strength, flying back and hitting the ball out of the baseline!
