Chapter 683 Chapter 679: Strong self-confidence!

The atmosphere in the locker room of the home team is warm. According to Arsenal's state, they have a great chance of winning.

It was a shame for Manchester United to be double-killed by Arsenal last year. They have been waiting for the opportunity to avenge their shame.

Since the start of this season, Arsenal is still strong, and it is hard to find a defeat. It is shocking that they have reached the current 57 Premier League games unbeaten.

Originally they thought it would be a tough battle tonight, but Arsenal did not show their previous level and state.

This is an excellent opportunity to avenge their shame, how could they let it go.

As for why so many Arsenal players are not in their best form, they didn't think about it. Maybe Arsenal has reached the fatigue period, and these main players are rushing to all fronts.

Ferguson reminded his players not to be confused by the appearance of the first half: "You have also seen the threat of Chen's two passes. Fortunately, the other players of the Gunners are not in the state, so we cannot take it lightly in the second half."

The two central defenders of Manchester United thought it was true, and they felt it the most.

Ferguson looked at Scholes and said: "In the second half, you have to pay attention to Chen's movements at all times. His passing is not terrible. Don't give him a chance to break through."

The meaning of this is obvious. Arsenal's other offensive players are not in shape, so they are not afraid even if they get a chance, but Chen Fan's state is still hot.

Scholes nodded, and Ferguson immediately looked at the other three midfielders and said, "When Chen gets the ball, you should immediately surround him. You did a good job in this aspect in the first half, and you must continue to persevere in the second half."

When Ferguson was formulating a strategy to defend Chen Fan, the atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room was somewhat oppressive.

Wenger said helplessly: "I know that I have tried my best, but I still can't reverse the disadvantages on the field. This is not a fault of war."

His voice gradually increased: "But as long as we stand on the court, we must be worthy of the fans and this jersey!"

Van Persie's eyes brightened for a moment, then dimmed again.

Fabregas wiped the sweat from his brow, and Arshavin looked down at his toes.

Wenger looked at the players' reactions, sighed in his heart, looked at several frontcourt players and said, "You guys are indeed not at your best tonight, so my opinion is to give Chen Duo a chance, and find a way to pass the football to him after he gets the ball."

The locker room has become quieter. This is a sad statement, but it is a fact.

Van Persie struggled in his eyes, and finally nodded to Wenger, then turned to look at Chen Fan beside him.

Almost all players turned their attention to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan smiled slightly and said: "I think the atmosphere is too depressing, in fact, this is just an ordinary Premier League game, and Manchester United is not so strong that we have no chance.

Although their defense is good, it is not without loopholes. Didn't we create a few opportunities in the first half? "

This was a good point, but it made Fabregas and Arshavin feel even more guilty. They wasted two good chances to score.

That was a very good opportunity. In the past, they would definitely score easily.

Chen Fan saw the guilt of the two of them, and said with a smile: "We can look at tonight's game in this way."

Wenger looked at him with great interest, wanting to hear what he had to say and how to relieve the pressure on the players and stimulate their fighting spirit.

The teammates pricked up their ears and looked at Chen Fan eagerly.

"It should be very difficult for us to beat them tonight. If we just want to get out of the game, I think there is still a good chance."

There is nothing new in this statement, and this is the goal of this game.

That being the case, why did Chen Fan still say that?

"Then, just do a good job of defense. As for offense, leave it to the four of us."

Chen Fan pointed to Van Persie, Fabregas and Arshavin.

For some reason, Arshavin had surprise in his eyes, and the guilt on his face was wiped away.

Four people can break Manchester United's goal?

What a powerful confidence!
Wenger lowered his head and pondered, if this is the case, then the difficulty of offense will increase a lot, but for other players, physical energy can be saved, and all energy can be devoted to defense.

In doing so, Arsenal can allow Manchester United to score fewer goals, or even not to score, but want to break Manchester United's goal...

Song thought for a while and said, "Okay! Let's do it this way. Don't say that we won't give them a chance to score goals. At least it won't be easy for them to score goals. I can guarantee this!"

Other defensive players expressed their support one after another, and they chose to believe in Chen Fan.

Rather than saying that this was a helpless move, it would be better to say that they believed in Chen Fan's self-confidence.

Wenger shook his head in his heart with a wry smile. Now it seems that the formulation of tactics has nothing to do with him as the coach.

The Frenchman is not a strong coach. Although he has supreme authority in the locker room, he never suppresses players as a coach.

"If that's the case, then that's it."

Wenger is good, he is not easy to fight against public opinion, not to mention that this is not much different from his strategic goal, the tactic he formulated for this game is to defend and counterattack.

……

The second half came as scheduled, and Arsenal, who took the lead to serve, launched an attack on Manchester United. Ferguson found that there were not many players participating in the attack from Arsenal, and the two full-backs showed no sign of stepping forward to participate in the attack.

Have Arsenal given up?

Impossible, then why?
Just relying on a few frontcourt players from Arsenal to try to tear apart Manchester United's defense in the offensive position, this is too underestimating Manchester United's defensive ability.

Manchester United quickly intercepted the football and launched a quick counterattack on the spot.

However, Arsenal quickly turned Manchester United's fast counterattack into a positional attack, because they did not have to run wild to form a defensive line.

An offensive and defensive battle was launched at the Old Trafford Stadium, which disappointed the live commentator. They originally wanted to watch a wonderful match, but Arsenal did not have such an idea at all.

Chen Fan didn't go back to the hinterland to defend, as he had already said so clearly, if his teammates depended on him for everything, it would be over.

He is waiting and looking for opportunities in the midfield. His teammates are not in good condition, so tonight's goal depends on him.

Under Arsenal's dense defense, it was difficult for Manchester United to advance the football to the penalty area, so their mentality slowly changed.

The players in the midfield started to pass through, but they were confiscated one by one by the Arsenal defenders.

Ferguson came to the command area and signaled his players to be patient.

In the 17th minute of the second half, there was a small accident on the field. Evra's cross was pushed out of the penalty area by Koscielny. Song Jiji stepped forward and made a strong clearance.

The football flew towards the Manchester United half.

It was a non-threatening clearance, but Vidic had a problem with his header and the ball was unloaded by Fabregas.

"Snapped!……"

The Spaniard didn't wait for Anderson to get close, and directly made a long-distance pass!
The football flew past Ferdinand!
Chen Fan, who was always looking for opportunities, ran towards the football like lightning!
