Chapter 809 Chapter 803: Midfield Steals Quick Counterattack!
Henry is undoubtedly a very important star in Arsenal's history.

It was under his leadership that Arsenal were able to reach the Champions League final for the first time in history, but it was a pity that they were defeated by Barcelona that year, and unfortunately missed the Big Ears Cup.

That failure hit Henry too hard. In order to realize his dream of the Champions League, he left Barcelona regardless of the retention of Arsenal fans.

Henry played for Arsenal for 8 years and scored a total of 174 league goals and 42 European goals. In July 2008, Arsenal fans voted him as the best player in Arsenal's history in the Arsenal official website: Gunners' Best 7 Players Selection.

On June 07, 6, Henry announced that he would move to Barcelona and would wear a red and blue jersey.

In the 08-09 season, he finally realized his dream of the Champions League in Barcelona.

With Rijkaard's departure, Guardiola took over the coach in the hands of the Dutchman, and Henry is no longer reused.

In July last year, Henry left the Major League Soccer League to play for the American Football League.

Tonight, he appeared in the stands as a famous Arsenal star, of course, his purpose is to cheer for Arsenal, to see if the current Arsenal can write new history and complete their unfinished great cause.

"Tick!..."

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.

Wayne Rooney moved the football to the backcourt, and the three Arsenal forwards rushed across the half-court immediately, like three wolves pounced on the half-court.

Manchester United did not panic in the midfield and accelerated the transfer of the ball.

Without the support of the midfield, Arsenal's three forwards failed to steal the football.

The commentator of the Milan sports station said loudly: "It seems that Wenger is still quite cautious, and did not let the midfielder join the pressing in the frontcourt."

The final is a match that decides the outcome. No matter who you are, you will be cautious, because as long as you lose, you will have no chance to make up for it.

On the court, Manchester United was also very cautious, choosing the safest route when passing the ball, and did not give Arsenal a chance to steal and counterattack.

The scene was quite stalemate, and it wasn't until the 7th minute that Rooney completed his first shot of the game.

After receiving a pass from Giggs on the left, he evaded Song's defense amidst the boos of the Arsenal fans and shot a long shot from outside the penalty area.

The football goes over the bar.

"Hush!..."

Where would the Arsenal fans let go of such an opportunity, they booed even more towards Rooney.

The closest fan to Rooney even yelled at him: "Hey 'club' hero, are you aiming at women?"

Rooney's face suddenly darkened, Giggs came over and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly.

"Eliminate interference, we all believe that you can do it!"

Rooney let out a long breath and nodded silently to him.

After the game restarted, Manchester United retreated across the board in their own half, organizing a dense line of defense.

Under Manchester United's intensive defense, it was difficult for Arsenal to open the gap. They began to pour the ball patiently to find opportunities.

In the 9th minute of the first half, Diaby passed the ball to Chen Fan. When Chen Fan stopped the football, Evra behind him directly brought him down without giving him a chance to turn around.

"Tick!..."

The referee blew his whistle and awarded Arsenal a direct free kick in the frontcourt.

The ball was too far from Manchester United's goal. Chen Fan kicked the football towards the Manchester United penalty area. He hoped that his teammates could complete the header.

This pass line is extremely weird, drawing a big arc in the air, and flying towards the right side of the penalty area.

Ramsey hit the ball with a fierce header!

The football blasted towards the goal like a cannonball!

Van der Sar reacted quickly, holding the football over the bar with his right hand and defusing a header from the Arsenal midfielder.

"boom!……"

There was a huge sound of regret and joy at Wembley Stadium, followed by thunderous applause.

Fans on both sides applauded their players for their wonderful performance.

Cantona in the stands smiled at Beckenham beside him and said, "Chen's pass is quite your style."

Beckenham shook his head and said, "When it comes to the arc of the arc, Chen's arc is bigger, and he is better than me in this regard."

On the field, Cesc Fabregas sent the football directly into the Manchester United penalty area, Vidic pushed the football out of the penalty area, and Chen Fan and Scholes rushed towards the football!

Due to his height, when Chen Fan takes a corner kick, he usually stands outside the penalty area and prepares for the second attack.

Chen Fan's speed was faster, he stretched his legs ahead of time to control the football, and Scholes was about to stretch his legs to bring him down.

"do not want!"

Giggs in the penalty area yelled at Scholes.

Damn it, it's too close to the goal, if you foul and give Arsenal a direct free kick, that's suicide...

Scholes immediately dismissed the idea of ​​fouling and retracted the outstretched foot.

How could Chen Fan let go of such a good opportunity, he slammed his left foot, threw away Scholes, and then raised his right leg to shoot!
The football is like a shell, heading for the goal!

"puff!"

A dull sound sounded, and because there were too many people in the Manchester United penalty area, the football hit Song's leg and flew towards the baseline.

Arsenal's attack came to an abrupt end.

Before the game restarted, Arsenal retreated quickly across the board in the backcourt, not giving Manchester United a chance to counterattack quickly.

The German national TV commentator said: "As in any previous final, both sides were very cautious at the beginning, and both teams knew each other very well, so so far, neither side has been able to create an excellent scoring opportunity."

Manchester United and Arsenal competed fiercely in the midfield. Although Arsenal was at a disadvantage in the number of midfielders, the three forwards were very active and they also joined the battle in the midfield.

Therefore, in the battle for midfield, Arsenal is not at a disadvantage, but has a faint upper hand.

In the 17th minute of the first half, Giggs passed the ball to Carrick, and Chen Fan and Cesc Fabregas immediately went to attack.

Carrick didn't wait for the two to form a pincer attack, and directly kicked back.

The accident suddenly appeared at this moment, Chen Fan seemed to have judged his intentions a long time ago, and made preparations in advance!
The moment he passed the ball, Chen Fan stretched out his right foot and cut the football halfway!
"Pretty!"

The commentator of London Business Radio shouted: "Chen made a beautiful steal in the midfield, and Arsenal ushered in the opportunity for a quick counterattack!"

The Manchester City TV commentator said anxiously: "Hold on! Be sure to hold on!"

Sitting on the bench chair, Ferguson's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition appeared in his heart.

Not far away, Wenger clenched his fists, with hope in his eyes.

The Arsenal fans in the stands cheered loudly, and there was concern in the eyes of the Manchester United fans.

On the field, Chen Fan immediately accelerated with the football, flicked his right foot, got rid of Evra's rush, and then went to the Manchester United penalty area along the middle!
Van Persie quickly moved his position, from the center to the left, to give up the space in the center to Chen Fan!
"Quick! Here!"

While staring at Chen Fan, Ferdinand yelled at Scholes, who was desperately chasing back, and pointed his finger at Van Persie, who was moving to the side.
