In the eyes of Lothar Matthäus, there are only four people on the field today who can be considered human beings.
One for him, one for Dejan Lu, one for Redondo, and both Cantona and Bergkamp count as half.
Schmeichel is pretty good.
But he never paid attention to the goalkeeper.
Only rookies who can't play forward will go to the backcourt. This is the simplest concept of Lothar Matthäus. Unless you are Beckenbauer or Yashin, he can look at you squarely.
This was indeed the case in football before.
This put him in a difficult situation.
That is, players who are not as good as him can always beat him with his teammates.
If it weren't for his Lothar·Lothar Matthäus magnanimity, he would have been pissed to death.
Lothar Matthäus shook his head and walked back.
Thinking about Xia Tian's suggestion to the coach to bring in a few more decent players, not to mention Three Horsemen, he had to get four little dragons or something.
"Brian."
"What's wrong, Alex?"
Kidd asked.
"Tell the truth, even if there is no Dejan, the French guy and I will compare in all aspects, who is better?" Ferguson asked expectantly.
Brian·Kidd:...
If nothing else, people as stingy as you are rare.
If he dares to say that Wenger is better today, Ferguson might find an opportunity to send him to prison.
For example, what kind of tactical theft incident did you direct and act?
"I heard that he had a bad career, and you are the top scorer. You add one point. You led the team to win against Real Madrid in the cup. The Frenchman has never won the intercontinental championship. You add one point. You have also proven yourself at Manchester United and have achieved success in different teams. You add one point. Your face looks rosier than his, which means you are healthier. You add one point. Your height is closer to the average and not as abrupt as him. You add one point..."
"Okay, okay."
Ferguson interrupted with a smile, "No need to force yourself, I'm only about twice as good as him."
"Ah, yes, yes!"
Kidd nodded vigorously and said.
Since you are so good, why do you still care so much about what the French do?
Although Arsenal has no results now, Kidd always feels that Wenger is not simple, and may become Ferguson's formidable enemy.
Just being able to go back and forth with Ferguson at the press conference is already quite difficult.
The game has restarted on the field.
Arsenal's passing also made Kidd believe in his judgment even more.
After going through the Graham period, Arsenal now seems to be two teams.
Ray Parrott stepped forward to receive the pass from Lothar Matthäus, and immediately dribbled horizontally to avoid Redondo.
Redondo is very tight.
Parrott took advantage of the situation and hit Platt with his left foot.
Platt quickly pulls the sides, with Wright in front and Winterburn in the back, which will make him feel more secure.
Keane obviously knew what the opponent was thinking, so he just rushed forward with the intention of kicking the ball if it couldn't be retained.
Beckham was shocked and quickly ran to the middle to help Keane block the opponent's ball route.
Platt is also afraid.
He turned around and ran as soon as he pushed the ball forward.
Keane No matter how aggressive he is, he can't chase a player without the ball.
Ian·Wright is very fast, which is his special skill.
Although little Neville is talented, he lacks game experience and is still an unfamiliar right back.
He was passed by the other party in one encounter.
Bruce didn't dare to go over easily to defend and miss the middle, so he could only hope that Keane would come back soon.
However, Wright had no intention of continuing to dawdle. He moved his left foot towards the penalty area and thrust it in from the ribs at an angle.
Steve·Bruce can only go forward.
You can't let the opponent get close to the goal so easily.
But as soon as he left his position, Wright immediately turned around and passed back an inverted triangle.
This is what Bruce is afraid of.
Bergkamp moved his right foot to his left foot in front of Parister, and easily entered the penalty area in front of the tall Parister.
Bruce rushed over quickly, Bergkamp made a cross kick while running, and passed the ball to the left.
Ian·Wright Under the influence of Neville who returned to the penalty area, the left-footed shot was picked off by Schmeichel.
Even though the professor was in a good mood, he still couldn't help but shake his fist in frustration.
He couldn't understand that Wright usually scored a lot of goals, so how could he not be effective against Manchester United?
"Well done boy!"
Schmeichel raised his eyebrows and said.
Little Neville smiled and nodded.
He had discussed how to defend with his brother before.
Neither of them are very accurate tacklers.
But when facing one-legged players, just grab their dominant foot and the threat will be reduced by 70%.
Wright is considered to have good skills among black people, and he can even basically do all the shots that Dejan Lu can do, such as lob shots and side shots.
But the biggest difference is that he is a player who must use his right foot.
This has limited his role.
Schmeichel wanted to throw the ball directly to start a fast break, but the ball was pushed back to the Manchester United half by Arsenal's midfielder Platt, and failed to find Dejan Lu.
Lothar Matthäus clapped his hands at halftime and shouted, "Cheer up your fucking energy, we are two goals behind, we must hurry up and equalize the score."
Even Hutson, who didn't have much dealing with him, didn't say much.
Lothar Matthäus has strength on the court and has been playing well.
If you want to find fault in this regard, you are asking for self-disgrace.
In the stands, George·Best raised his head again, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Arsenal has no chance. It's a pity. If the Dutchman was faster, the situation would be different."
Bobby·Charlton nodded.
Being at the front doesn't give Bergkamp much room to move.
In this case, it is not easy to use technology to surpass others.
Arsenal's 433 gave him a lot of surprises, but there are still problems in some positions of this team.
If you want to play team football, you must keep your shortcomings as close to the upper limit as possible, so that they can work together.
Especially in a situation like Manchester United, your shortcomings will inevitably become a drag.
Even Arsenal's famous defense is the same. They are not so well adapted to this tactic in some aspects.
Arsenal players kept pressing hard.
Just rest assured that Lothar Matthäus is standing beside Dejan Lu.
Redondo This time, it was passed directly to the left.
Dejan Lu took the ball and turned around directly.
Whoosh - the speed showdown between him and Lothar Matthäus is one of the biggest highlights today.
This primitive speed competition directly ignited the passion of fans on both sides.
After passing the center line Dejan Lu's lead is gone.
This advantage comes from being the first to start.
Lothar Matthäus's explosive power is really strong.
If this continues, I'm afraid he won't be able to cut inside and will be intercepted.
Dejan Lu doesn't think he can play with Lothar Matthäus again.
In this way, he rushed towards the opponent's penalty area with the ball, which was still far away from the penalty area. Dejan Lu knocked the ball diagonally with his right foot while running.
Cantona, who rushed to the penalty area, successfully got the ball.
Such a change made Lothar Matthäus stunned for a moment.
He thought Dejan Lu would fight him to the end.
Dejan Lu took the opportunity to run into the penalty area, and his movement attracted Marshall's attention.
Keown chased Cantona all the way to the left side of the penalty area. Cantona turned around and kicked it horizontally.
Marshall Seeing that Dejan Lu has not started, it is not aware of the danger at all.
Behind him, McClair rushed up with Winterburn and shoveled the ball into the goal.
"Ahhhh!!!"
McClair opened his mouth wide and roared.
He turned around and hugged Dejan Lu's shoulders.
Although it was Cantona who assisted, it was obviously Dejan Lu who initiated the attack.
This time the goal was not so easy. McClair felt that it was Cantona who was responsible for passing the ball.
Lothar Matthäus stood there and smiled.
Li·Dixon was startled and quickly moved away from this emotionally unstable teammate.
idiot!
Lothar Matthäus glanced at Dixon with disdain.
In this confrontation, Dejan Lu obviously couldn't outrun him.
That means he won.
As for conceding the ball, what does that have to do with him? He has already made it impossible for Dejan Lu to cut inside. You can't let him be responsible for everything.
This was the first time Lothar Matthäus competed on pure speed, and he beat Dejan Lu head-on.
He felt that today's game was not in vain.
At least it proves that not everything he does is surpassed by his efforts.
When I think about it, I can't stop thinking about making myself faster.
How about finding a sprint coach to train during the holidays?
Dejan Lu walked back with his teammates.
This attack still made him very satisfied.
[Pires] With some bonuses, it is indeed not as powerful as Lothar Matthäus in terms of instantaneous explosive power.
But football is not about 100 meters.
He deliberately attracted Lothar Matthäus to compete with him for speed. As long as Lothar Matthäus is not in other positions, it will be easy to cooperate and play.
After passing the ball, he simply ran towards the penalty area, directly attracting the opponent's attention.
So McClair can insert shovel shot.
The forward penetration coupled with running towards the penalty area and continuous changing of positions attracts more defensive attention. This is the benefit of running.
Playing football requires using your brain.
He especially doesn't understand players who just like to compete with their opponents for speed.
If it hadn't been like Bale crushing Baltra, it would be difficult to create opportunities with speed, but it would be easier to be delayed in counterattack opportunities.
If the opponent is chasing too closely, there may not be a chance to pass the ball all the way to the baseline.
It's not as good as making a sudden stop and passing the ball directly while running.
Arsenal's restart kick was a bit careless and was successfully intercepted by Keane.
Manchester United's continuous attacks made the away fans stand nervous.
Lothar Matthäus was still clinging to Dejan Lu like a plaster. Beckham felt that there was no chance, so he simply started to rush forward, and immediately sent a long pass to the ground from an angle.
There is still enough arc when passing the ball close to the ground, which is also quite a test of passing skills.
Unfortunately, McClair was pulled by Winterburn when it started and failed to grab the first point. The ball was successfully suppressed by David·Seaman.
"Give it to me, David!"
Keown said quickly.
Seaman didn't know why, but he got up and threw the ball.
Martin·Keown Without any hesitation, he drove the ball hard with one big kick.
Seaman Only then discovered that the ball went straight to the penalty area of Manchester United.
The Manchester United players obviously relaxed during this period. Wright took the ball in front of the penalty area and moved laterally and then dunked it. His right foot shot sent the ball into the right side of the goal.
3:1, Arsenal saw the light again.
Ian·Wright, who wasted many opportunities, finally scored a goal.
The professor, like the fans, celebrated passionately on the sidelines, completely ignoring the fact that the team was still lagging behind.
Ferguson couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
I'm so happy to score a goal, but it really has no future.
"What are you doing?"
Schmeichel asked, spreading his hands.
I just praised little Neville.
This time it was out of place.
A defender is pressing so far forward without the ball, are you going to play yourself as a winger?
"Forget it, Peter."
Steve·Bruce persuaded.
Schmeichel glared at him, then turned around fiercely to grab the ball. Judging from his movements, he thought he was tearing apart a corpse with his bare hands.
"Don't worry about that guy."
Bruce persuaded with a smile.
Phillip·Neville shook his head.
It was true that he had slacked off.
Why do people often say that they have a lack of concentration? This is the problem.
After playing for a while, it's hard to stay that focused.
Leo Ferdinand had this problem even in his peak period. He would suddenly lose concentration and make inexplicable mistakes.
"You didn't feel very comfortable playing today, Dejan?"
Keane came over and asked.
"Of course, Lothar Matthäus is always by my side."
Dejan Lu said.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Keane patted his chest and said.
"Don't break the rules."
Dejan Lu said with some worry.
"Don't worry."
Keane said firmly.
Such a statement made Dejan Lu even more worried.
Lothar Matthäus is not the kind of person who will be frightened if he is kicked.
Don't leave the show with your blood stained.
Manchester United organized the kick-off, and Redondo was given to the left again.
Dejan Lu The ball did not start, Lothar Matthäus's eyes widened.
Obviously not very happy.
grass!
Are you addicted to playing fast with Dejan the Football King?
Dejan Lu ignored his surprise and sent the ball forward.
Lothar Matthäus The moment he subconsciously stretched his foot, he flicked his ankle and knocked the ball to the left.
Sombrero flick!
A simple movement wiped past Lothar Matthäus.
Lothar Matthäus lost its center of gravity.
But his core strength is really exaggerated, he just turned around and activated it so abruptly.
Click——
The next second, Dejan Lu stepped on the ball and stopped in place.
Following the start, Lothar Matthäus subconsciously wanted to stop and continuously forced his muscles to do this kind of thing. Even Lothar Matthäus couldn't do it.
Lothar Matthäus fell heavily to the ground. Just as Dejan Lu was about to take the ball forward, he heard Lothar Matthäus groaning in pain behind him.
Snap,
Dejan Lu kicked the ball out of the sideline at will.
I really didn't expect that Lothar Matthäus Akira would be injured.
This guy is too pushy, no wonder Dejan the Football King.
"Haha, the war between Dejan and Lothar Matthäus is over. Lothar Matthäus caused a lot of trouble to Dejan today, but now he is hurt by Dejan."
"Yes, Dejan has this ability, but this injury is something that ordinary players cannot do."
Martin·Taylor said gloatingly.
For other players, it would be difficult to try to change the focus for the third time in such a short period of time.
Even that forced turn and start couldn't be done that fast.
But this thing is like this. Some defensive scenes that look awkward require you to be particularly good in order to respond to the opponent's passing moves.
The worse players can't even react.
Arsenal was forced to make substitutions, and Paolo·Merson came on directly without much warm-up.
Lothar Matthäus's injury forced the professor to become a single defensive midfielder.
Then today's game is over.
"Are you okay, Lothar?"
The professor looked at Lothar Matthäus on the stretcher with some worry and asked.
"It's okay, boss, I will definitely win it back next time!"
Lothar Matthäus said with some emotion.
Except for Beckenbauer, few people care about him so much.
"Recuperate well and don't think too much." The professor patted Lothar Matthäus's hand and said, signaling the team doctor to carry him away.
Watching the stretcher enter the tunnel, the professor whispered, "Originally we planned a strategy for the second half, but Lothar's injury changed everything... Very good, that's all."
Lothar Matthäus was injured, giving him enough reason.
Even British media can't deny the strength of Lothar Matthäus, right?
"Give the ball back."
The professor turned to the field and shouted.
I am afraid that the disciples will do something immoral because of their grievances with Manchester United.
Merson took a look and threw the ball to Dejan Lu with some regret.
Dejan Lu took advantage of the situation and passed the ball back.
Redondo organizes the backcourt again.
Keane Everyone was in a trance when he caught the ball.
He just said to leave it to him, but he didn't expect Dejan Lu to solve it by himself.
It was hard not to make some associations with him.
Dejan Lu Are you afraid that he will turn red?
What frightened Keane the most was that just after Dejan Lu finished speaking, Lothar Matthäus was injured.
Doesn't that mean that Dejan Lu has always had this ability, but he just didn't want to hurt his opponent?
How terrifying!
Arsenal's tactical system has changed a lot with just one substitution.
Parrott itself likes to have edges, and so does Merson.
The positioning of the two people made Arsenal's gap in the center wider and wider.
Paolo·Merson rushed towards Redondo.
Redondo continues to pass back to maintain possession of the ball.
Hutson went up to press Irwin, and Irwin dribbled the ball laterally, causing Hutson to give up his position and passed the ball to Redondo again.
This time with the ball, Redondo immediately took the ball forward.
Platt and Dixon were both a little worried that he would pass to Dejan Lu, so they pressed forward together.
Redondo took the ball and just passed the center line, and sent a long-distance pass with his right foot.
The ball rolled past Dixon and went straight to the Arsenal penalty area.
Sterk Marshall, who was running back sideways, subconsciously stretched his foot and hit the ball. The ball rolled to the center and a gust of wind blew by. The ball changed direction and rolled to the left.
Oh shit!!!
Marshall is going crazy.
He even wondered if Manchester United had hired a witch doctor.
This ball is so fucking weird.
Although I bumped into it accidentally just now, I should have made a rescue. Seeing that Keown can be obtained in two more steps.
Who knew that a gust of wind would hit Dejan Lu directly.
Who the hell is to blame?
Marshall gritted his teeth and ran back bitterly, making a final struggle.
But Dejan Lu didn't enter the penalty area at all, and rubbed his right foot against the rolling ball outside the penalty area.
Bang - With a crisp sound, the ball drew a strange arc. It was obviously aimed at the far post, but due to the wind, it changed directions in the air in an exaggerated way. Seaman, who was standing at the far end of the goal, ran back and took off, but he still misjudged the landing point and the ball flew into the goal from the lower edge of the middle part of the crossbar.
"4:1!!!!!!"
"GoalGoalGoalGoalGoalGoal!"
"Dejan Goal!!!"
"Dejan once again performed a hat-trick in Theatre of Dreams, completely helping Manchester United lock in the Premier League championship this season, so that the Red Devils fans do not have to regretfully wait until the next away game to win the championship."
"There was some luck in the goal this time. We can all see that it was the wind. But why didn't the wind help Arsenal? Is it possible that the one above us also hopes to see Dejan win the cup directly at home?!"
"What's more, before this ball, Dejan used his strength to stun Lothar Matthäus, which solved the biggest trouble today. Lothar Matthäus is very strong, and even has exaggerated quality. Unfortunately, all of this has no effect in front of Dejan. He was still easily hurt by Dejan."
"I even doubt that Dejan could do this in the opening stage, but he didn't want to hurt his opponent, so he tried his best to restrain himself!!!"
Many fans also agree with this.
Lothar Matthäus's performance is indeed good. Just looking at Ballon d'Or's selection ranking, we know that he is one of the best midfielders in Europe now. It is controversial to say that he is the best, but there is definitely no problem in the top three.
A defensive player of this level who can target Diego Maradona will be injured by Dejan Lu.
It's really scary.
"Ryan, prepare to replace."
Ferguson turned around and shouted.
Giggs stood up again.
His getting up was accompanied by boos from the home fans.
Obviously no one wants to see the end of Dejan Lu.
But Giggs basically replaces Dejan Lu.
In front of Arsenal's coaching bench, the professor couldn't help but shook his head.
I have some regrets about letting Merson appear.
The defense should be strengthened.
But now there is no chance to make changes.
We can't continue to use the last substitution before the first half is over.
Bergkamp looked at Dejan Lu.
No wonder both Cruyff and Van Basten praise Dejan Lu highly.
He couldn't see it clearly in the video, but every time he played on the same field, he would feel that Dejan Lu played extremely smart.
On the fourth restart, Bergkamp was passed to Hutson.
Hutson immediately passed the ball to him again.
Bergkamp dropped back to get the ball, wanting to help the team organize.
Even if we can't score a goal, it's still good to get through the first half.
If this continues, the team will be destroyed.
Bergkamp, who was holding the ball, glanced at Hutson.
That somewhat unruly young man always dissatisfied Lothar Matthäus.
But his strength is far inferior to Lothar Matthäus.
If I were to choose a teammate, Bergkamp would choose the German even if I was thinking on my toes.
Ray Parrott asked after pulling aside, attracting the attention of Manchester United players.
Bergkamp passed the ball to Paolo·Merson.
Merson was in pretty good shape today. He made a posture of dribbling the ball forward, but when Redondo came up to grab it, he suddenly transferred the ball to the left with a kick.
Parrott felt that he couldn't stop, so he simply jumped and shook his head to push the ball forward.
Little Neville and Ian·Wright started to rush towards the ball almost at the same time. Wright was faster. Little Neville knew he couldn't beat the opponent and stretched out his hand.
Unfortunately, he failed to grab the jersey and instead grabbed the opponent's pants.
Wright As soon as he ran out, his shorts were torn open quite a bit, revealing the black patterned underwear underneath.
Beep——
"Hahaha, okay, we all know what underwear Wright is wearing. As the initiator, Phillip·Neville is obviously a little embarrassed."
"Arsenal got a good opportunity, and the free kick was in a position where they could go directly to the goal."
Just near the left sideline, there are opportunities for either passing or shooting.
The professor was confused again.
He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to score a goal, but he was also afraid of being counterattacked by Manchester United.
After thinking about it for a few seconds, he still didn't say anything, looking at the disciples themselves.
Paolo·Merson stood in the penalty position, with only two people in front of him.
The former Highbury the Prince was still very confident in his footwork.
Beep——As the whistle sounded, Merson made a curve ball after running up.
Pronate closer!
This ball could not go directly into the goal, but it flew quickly to the near post.
Players from both sides standing nearby who touch each other have a chance to let the ball go in.
Irwin noticed something and simply moved sideways to block the post. He took off and blocked the ball with his chest.
Before other players could stretch their feet, Irwin turned around and kicked the ball hard into the opponent's half.
Damn it, it's over!
The professor couldn't help but cover his face.
I'm really afraid of what will happen.
None of the defenders participated in this attack, and they returned to defense very quickly.
But when the ball reached Dejan Lu's feet, he felt that it would be more difficult not to score.
I wanted to call a player for a foul, but after thinking about it I decided not to call him out.
Dejan Lu dribbled the ball very quickly, but Dixon stopped and returned to his position before he could meet him.
The two met near the top corner of the penalty area.
Let's rush to the bottom line together.
Snap,
Dejan Lu flicked the outside of the instep of his right foot, and Dixon followed and stopped, so he knew he had been fooled.
A pair of long legs wearing white socks tossed the ball forward.
There is no break between the two touches.
Temporarily getting rid of the opponent Dejan Lu diagonally inserted into the penalty area and sent a cross in front of the baseline.
Snap——
Cantona in front of the goal rushed up from the right side of Marshall and without even having time to lift his foot, he knocked the ball into the goal with his lower leg.
5:1!
Bloody numbers.
Along with the excited shouts of Cantona, there was silence in the away fans' stands.
The French coach gave Arsenal fans the illusion of superiority, and they thought their gorgeous football would cause a lot of trouble to Manchester United.
Now it looks like the situation is similar to Graham.
But at least the game looks better, right? Ferguson smiled and clapped, deliberately restraining himself from looking at the Arsenal coach's bench.
Even without watching, you knew that the Frenchman was definitely not very happy. He went to the sidelines to make substitutions in front of Giggs.
Dejan Lu walked off the field to the applause of Manchester United fans.
"Go back and take a shower first."
Ferguson glanced at the time, it was already the 42nd minute.
There is no need to let the sweaty Dejan Lu sit on the bench.
He gestured to the team doctor, who immediately followed Dejan Lu towards the tunnel.
Dejan Lu rushed briefly, returned to the locker, and saw a message on his phone.
"I'll go out for a bite to eat and come back later to celebrate."
Dejan Lu said.
Of course the team doctor had no objection.
Dejan Lu found the box of Theatre of Dreams according to the address on the mobile phone. Sophie Marceau, who was wearing a half-sleeved zipper hoodie, said with a smile, "I just finished an advertising event for perfume, so I happened to drop by to watch the game."
Dejan Lu:...
The event is also at Manchester. When did fashion brands target the working class?
Events in London.
However, after the other party unzipped, Dejan Lu immediately had no other thoughts. This activity was really white...
