Chapter 420 I am no longer qualified!

"GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

With Yang Xiaozhuang's "scoring twice", the fans' deafening cheers sounded again at Old Trafford Stadium... This goal, the goal that secured the victory!

Yes, there are at least thirty minutes left before the end of the game!

But so what?

For Manchester United, if you can lead two goals in the game, you will definitely win. Maybe you will lead more at the end of the game!

Just like the "Red Devils" today, positional offense is not the team's strongest offensive method, and the truly strongest and invincible talent is the wealth left to the team after Mourinho's coaching...Defensive counterattack!

Of course, when Manchester United is playing, the intensity and strictness of defense are definitely not as good as Mourinho's coaching period. In fact, Manchester United will no longer wait for their opponents to attack themselves in the game like before, and then launch a counterattack after completing the defense.

Since Solskjaer started coaching last season, he has never thought of playing defensive counterattacks like his predecessor Mourinho. Instead, he chose to take the initiative and gradually regained the style of the "Red Devils" back then. This is why the new "Red Devils" that today makes all the giant teams in Europe feel feared.

"Beautiful goal! This goal fully reflects how powerful our "Red Devils"'s attack power is! Horizontal large-scale transfer, accurate crossing, and perfect middle lane encirclement... Tsk tsk! Just like back then, our combat power is still the most powerful in the entire Premier League!"

The commentator of Old Trafford was constantly praising the team, but Arsenal coach Emery helped to change his mind...

When he was only one goal behind, Emery felt that his team could still have a glimmer of hope when playing a defensive counterattack. Even if he just scored a goal in the counterattack, leaving Old Trafford with a draw was actually a victory!

But now... it's two goals behind!

Now the "Gunners" are not qualified to continue to play defensive counterattacks at all. Persisting in playing defensive counterattacks is equivalent to chronic suicide, so let's fight hard for the rest of the game!

Emery has indeed replaced him, but he looks... a little bit tiger!

Aubameyang, Vilti and Zeg Gnabri appeared and directly replaced Arsenal's offensive lineup... Ziyech, Ivobi, and Lacazette!

"Haha, Emery's substitution is interesting? Do you think that none of his offensive trio are qualified? He immediately replaced all three of them. I don't know what kind of performance the three people who are replaced on the court can do?"

Of course, Emery did not hope that the three people who had just changed into the field could bring back the team's disadvantages, but... they always have to fight!

They are all two goals behind, and if they don’t fight for a while, they will lose the game.

Although losing to Manchester United away will not put any pressure on Emery, and the Arsenal management will not treat him as much as this game, but if there is a little hope, then I'll give it a try!

But what made Emery speechless was that although he left Aubameyang and the other three for about thirty minutes, these three people did not bring any changes to the Gunners' offense after they came on the court. Instead,... they didn't even complete a shot!

Until the end of the game, although Manchester United did not score any more goals, Arsenal's shots had stopped 4 times!

At the end of the 90-minute game, Manchester United completed a total of 27 shots and scored 2 goals!

Arsenal shots 4 times... Not to mention scoring, there was not even a single shot within the goal frame!

After the game, the live commentator at Old Trafford Stadium teased Emery: "Ha, Emery's arrangement of troops in this game is still very effective. At least their defense has really caused us some trouble. This game is the first time that Manchester United has shot more than 30 times in the game this season! Even the game we tied with Chelsea at home, we had an absolute advantage and completed up to 35 shots in the whole game. However, we were very lucky that time. We were unable to win the game in the end when we took the lead at the beginning."

At the post-match press conference, Emery was also a stubborn person and did not give in to the reporters: "We performed well in today's game, but we were lucky. If there was no penalty, I think the outcome of this game is hard to say."

"No, no, I'm not saying there is something wrong with the penalty, I just want to say... it was an accident! In fact, even if Carlsdorp didn't foul at that time, Manchester United might not really pose a threat to our goal! But after the penalty kick was sent, the situation we faced changed, and our tactical role also declined, which eventually led to the loss."

"Carlsdorp is an excellent defender player. His contribution to the team is obvious to all, but his game experience is not rich enough, so I will give him more opportunities in the subsequent games. After all, he is only 24 years old, and for a defensive player, he still has a lot of room for improvement."

When Solskjaer made a post-match summary, he seemed very calm: "We tried to make some changes in today's game, and we played more steadily, so the pace of the game today was also relatively slow, but we finally won the victory with a relatively easy time. Well, we scored another three-pointer in the standings, that's it."

There is nothing to say about a game like defeating Arsenal at home. This era has changed!

When Solskjaer was still a player, it was indeed a very happy thing for Manchester United to beat Arsenal at that time, because it may be related to the final league championship.

But now... Manchester United won Arsenal and wouldn't really gain any advantage in the standings, because the Gunners now do not even have the qualification to become a competitor to the "Red Devils".

Although this is cruel, that's the truth!

After the five Premier League rounds, Manchester United continued to sit on the throne of the leader with an unbeaten record of 4 wins and 1 draw, but Chelsea also followed closely with the same points.

Later on... Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Bournemouth all won 4 wins and 1 draw, but only one point less than the first and second in the standings!

But among these teams... there is no sign of Arsenal!
Chapter completed!
