Chapter 747 The semifinals advanced to the key match
Kicking a relegated team requires skill, and you cannot engage in brutal collisions with them.
The final result may be victory, but the price paid is also very painful.
Therefore, Mourinho also changed his thinking. Unlike the previous style of play where every ball must be played, he began to change to a more supple consumption tactic.
Grind it little by little!
To put it bluntly, the reason why the relegation team is a relegation team is that their ability is much worse after all.
Relying on one breath, fighting and grabbing, after all, it will not last long.
Just need to consume their breath, and they will no longer pose a threat.
After winning the Crystal Palace to sum up their experience, Arsenal will play another relegated team Middlesbrough at home.
This game is still a rotation.
However, the opposite side of the rotation has become a midfielder.
Lucky and Kanter did not appear in the starting lineup, while Xhaka, Ramsey and Cazorla made their debut.
After a season of silence, Cazorla reappeared in the Premier League. Many people are looking forward to this Arsenal champion.
In this game, Cazorla also performed very well.
But unlike his previous way of playing football, he has made a lot of changes in style.
Cazorla used to be an agile and skilled player, but after undergoing surgery, the large area of the Achilles tendon was removed so that he could no longer play as before.
For this reason, his style conversion is inevitable.
In terms of size, Cazorla has grown up a lot. When dribbling, he has a certain agility and technical skills, but he is more capable of confrontational passing.
When facing Middlesbrough, Cazorla was still able to guarantee possession of the ball and often made good passes to help the offense.
This also made Arsenal fans applaud frequently, after all, they are still full of affection for Cazorla.
In other words, they are full of affection for every Arsenal champion in the 14-15 season.
Although they have dispersed to various leagues and are no longer playing for Arsenal, they still love each other deeply.
At the end of the game, Arsenal won Middlesbrough 1:0.
Lukaku contributed the only goal in the game.
Assisted by Robertson's forward cross.
For the entire 90 minutes, Lucky sat firmly on the bench and didn't get a chance to play. This is also Mourinho's rotation method, which increases the players' rest time within a certain space.
Lucky sat comfortably in this game, and at the same time was secretly happy for Cazorla's performance.
After the game ended, Lucy ran over to hug Cazorla on his own initiative.
"Great kick!"
Cazorla's face was covered with sweat, but he was smiling.
"I can't catch up with before. I'm still looking for my status. I feel good. If I play for a while, I should be able to find the feeling!"
Listening to Cazorla's words, Le Kai patted the other person's chest with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, there is still time!"
Under the rotation lineup, with Cazorla's performance, he will definitely get another chance to play.
If you can't play this, then you really have to doubt Mourinho's vision.
It is very good news that two consecutive relegation teams have been easily won by Arsenal, and no injuries have been caused.
But after this game, they will face the next round of the Europa League on Wednesday.
After defeating Manchester United at home, Arsenal will go to an away game against Manchester United.
But for Arsenal, which has a two-goal advantage, they are relatively easy.
And Manchester United's performance in recent games is not very good, they should be worried.
"Don't be influenced by the opponent's rhythm, play your own rhythm, kick your own rhythm!"
In the Carrington training base, Solskjaer roared angrily, and immediately left the training ground with a flick of his arm.
Manchester United players looked at each other.
The members of the coaching staff shook their heads helplessly and sighed.
Recently, Solskjaer has been under a lot of pressure, and Manchester United's vacillating high-level leaders have started to make trouble again.
Before, there was a posture of supporting Manchester United's blood, but as Manchester United's performance gradually deteriorated, the pressure and discussions they exerted on Solskjaer have increased again.
Manchester United's executives want to quickly restore the glory of Ferguson's period, while earning more money.
They are keen on investing and willing to spend money.
But the only problem is impatient.
They can't wait for a head coach to slowly build up the team and run it in game after game.
For these laymen and executives, they think that they have spent so much money and bought such high-priced players, why can't they produce results?
What they want most is to win the league championship in one year, replicate the triple crown in two years, and directly dominate Europe in three years!
For this reason, once the results are slightly poor, they will start to question the head coach, and this will form a vicious circle.
Solskjaer finally understands how many of his predecessors left Manchester United.
These high-level pig brains are useless except disgusting people, and they like to intervene at will.
For this reason, Pogba, a long-sleeved and good at dancing, has become the core point of the Manchester United team, and even forced Mourinho away.
After all, compared to Mourinho's temper like a latrine, Pogba is obviously 'approachable'.
Solskjaer only reappeared in the evening.
He gathered the players in the tactical room, and arranged the tactics for the next game with a stinky face.
"In the next game of Biss, we will only have one core offensive point."
After all, Solskjaer looked at Ibrahimovic and said; "Zlatan, you have to take on the responsibility of scoring goals, and the whole team will serve you for this!"
Hearing the words, Ibrahimovic naturally nodded unceremoniously.
On the other hand, Pogba raised his hands in surprise: "What about me? We should increase the confrontation in the midfield."
Solskjaer looked at Pogba, feeling a little disgusted in his heart, but his expression was still indifferent; "The task of the midfielder in this game is to pass the ball forward. This is a tactical order. You will execute it, right?"
Facing Solskjaer's almost persecuted attitude, Pogba could only nod resentfully.
Anyway, it's just a game, and the core point in the future will still be him.
Seeing Pogba calm down, Solskjaer said loudly: "We must win the next game. This is a difficult test for us, but Manchester United has never been afraid of the test, because this is Manchester United! "
Solskjaer's voice is sonorous and powerful, but few people cater to him.
This made Solskjaer a little embarrassed, and at the same time he was feeling that Ferguson always encouraged the players like this in the past, and they were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Time flies, Ferguson has retired, and now Manchester United has become less like Manchester United.
The Europa League doesn't get as much attention as the Champions League, and it doesn't have the atmosphere of a global ceremony.
Fans who follow Europa League matches, most fans of a certain team.
For example, Arsenal fans are paying attention to their performance in the Europa League, but other than that, more fans are paying attention to the Champions League.
After all, compared to the strong dialogue of the Champions League, the Europa League is a bit less interesting after all.
Even the enthusiasm of Manchester United vs. Arsenal can't keep up with the knockout round of the Champions League.
But Arsenal players and fans are united, and they believe that they will return to the Champions League.
And also very confident for the next game.
Old Trafford Stadium.
Arsenal players are no strangers to this.
As the home stadium of Manchester United, it is also known as the 'Dream Theater'.
Old Trafford, where Ferguson sat, became the stage that countless players yearned for.
As for Manchester United now, their appeal is not as good as before.
However, the passion of Manchester United fans is still the enthusiasm that makes Old Trafford stadium seem extremely fanatical.
In this game, after two consecutive rounds of rotation, Arsenal once again came up with a full main lineup.
Facing Manchester United, Arsenal did not dare to overdo it.
And this is also a key game for Arsenal to enter the semi-finals, they don't want to lose the chain.
Mourinho stood on the sidelines. Last season, he advised and fought for Manchester United in this stadium.
And just a few months later, when he returned to the pitch, his job became a goal for Manchester United.
But Mourinho is not merciful.
He still remembers how bleak it was for him to be kicked out by Manchester United.
Not only for promotion, but also for myself.
He also needs to win this game to prove it thoroughly!
