Chapter 880: Unbeatable game

May 9.
Emirates Stadium.
The live broadcasts frequently gave Woodward and Ferguson, the two Manchester United bigwigs sitting together in the stands, both of them look grim, and their mood did not look good.
"As the club's CEO and the club's former legendary coach, it is not surprising that they appear in the stands, but they are very rare in the away stands."
Zhan Jun said with a smile: "This may be related to the importance of this game. After arsenal, Manchester United almost touched the league trophy with both hands. The next two games are Crystal Palace and Queens Park. Rangers, the former has no worries and the latter has been relegated in advance."
"It may also be related to the renewal of the head coach." Zhang Lu speculated: "Pochettino has not completed the renewal so far. His contract expires on June 30 this year."
"Pochettino is a 2+1 contract. According to relevant British media, this may be related to Pochettino's request for a summer recruitment budget, but Sandezi has to decide the budget based on his record."
Sun Wu on the bench looked at the big screen, and Ferguson's face was not very good-looking. Arsenal was playing hard in this game, and he could not see Wenger's handsome style at all. Instead, tough collisions occurred frequently, Shaqi. Li was replaced by Mane because of injury before the first half.
Pochettino made some adjustments in this game, because three days later is the second round of the Champions League semi-final against Dortmund, so Sun Wu, Griezmann, Alder Vereld and other core players all took the bench.
Lukaku, Thomas Muller and Shaqiri formed a trident, and Shaqiri was injured and replaced by Mane.
Arsenal have reached the point of life and death. At present, they have the same score as Tottenham. They are ranked sixth due to their goal difference and only two points away from fourth-placed Chelsea.
The key is that Tottenham and Chelsea have finished this round of the game. The latter was double-killed by Liverpool this season. If Arsenal can tie Manchester United, the ranking can rise to fifth. If they can beat Manchester United, they can beat Chelsea to enter. Semi-finals.
And Arsenal have been eliminated in the UEFA Cup, it is Sevilla who beat them.
And Manchester United's situation is not much better, because Manchester City ended the preliminaries the day before yesterday, they easily swept the top of the points for the first time in the season 4-0 at Burnley.
The two teams have the same points, but Manchester City have 5 extra goals.
Therefore, Manchester United cannot afford to lose in this game. Losing means losing the league champion's initiative.
0-0 in the first half, Pochettino stayed in place, Sun Wu and Griezmann, Januzhai, Klose warmed up on the sidelines, ready to play.
However, Manchester City's top standings obviously made the players on the court somewhat mismatched. In addition, Fletcher and Schneiderlin's midfield defensive generals are still suspended. The situation on the court gradually leans to the Arsenal side.
In the 62nd minute of the second half, both sides still had no achievements, and Pochettino was ready to replace Sun Wu and Klose.
But just when Sun Wu and Klose were under the inspection of the fourth official, a drastic change took place on the field.
Alta sent a long pass from the right side of the midfield, Giroud headed the ferry, Sanchez took the ball and sent a cross, Welbeck accelerated to Phil Jones on the right side of the penalty area, and then stumbled to the ground...
"Di!"
The current referee, Krattenberg, awarded a penalty, which was not the worst. He also showed Phil Jones a second yellow card and sent it off.
Pochettino, on the sidelines, went to the fourth official theory angrily. Obviously, Phil Jones did not intentionally handball, a penalty was enough, why did he give a card.
Sun Wu grabbed it and didn't hold it... speechless. At this time, what's the use of finding a fourth official? It's nothing but outburst. What you need to do now is to find a way to save the situation and think about how to adjust for substitution.
So far away, Sun Wu is not sure whether Phil Jones fouled, but the referee will definitely not withdraw the penalty.
"Manchester United is awful this time, adding a yellow card to the penalty kick. The key is Phil Jones' second yellow card. He elbowed Sanchez in the first half and received a yellow card." Zhan Jun sighed.
"This penalty... The penalty is a bit harsh." Zhang Lu said helplessly: "There is indeed physical contact, but not enough to let Welbeck fall to the ground?"
"The FA Cup quarter-finals was a Welbeck counter-goal that knocked out Manchester United. Now..." Zhan Jun smacked his lips. "Maybe Manchester United's efforts for a season will be destroyed by this penalty."
Raven Mouth... Zhang Lu secretly slanderd his partner, "Maybe Arsenal won't score... Altta..."
"This goal was scored, with a bold choice, Alta chose the middle."
Watching Alteta rush to the corner flag with ecstasy, Sun Wu turned to look at Pochettino, who was still entangled with the fourth official...
Sun Wu turned around and discussed the matter with Mike Ferran, "Replace Lukaku?"
"This..." Mike Ferran hesitated, and now only Schneiderlin and Lukaku are Poetino's heirs.
"Best replaced Carrick and Rojo replaced Lukaku." Pochettino came over gaspingly. "Leave a substitution spot in hand."
Klose shrugged and sat back on the bench. Sun Wu walked to the centerline with a relaxed expression. Pochettino lowered his voice but gritted his teeth. "Best, pull it back!"
"Yep."
"Pull back!" Pochetti Norton paused. "Pull back, and I will suggest to Woodward that you serve as the head coach."
Sun Wu looked back strangely. Who do you think you are?
You are neither Beckenbauer, Ferguson, nor Cruyff. Once you decide to leave, will you have a slight influence on the original club?
However, it must be done to pull it back... Sun Wu sent Pochettino a big smile.
Watching Sun Wu running, Pochettino reviewed his misstatement in his heart, which is too unstable... However, this league champion has a direct relationship with his treatment next season, and even his job position and power range next season. There is a direct relationship.
Leading Manchester United 1-0, and still playing 11-10, Arsenal players are extremely excited, they did not even recover the defense, but struggle in the midfield... Sun Wu does not think this is unintentional, lacking Schneiderlin and Fletcher, Manchester United are a bit disadvantaged in midfield hardness.
However, Sun Wu quickly found a target that could be used.
Coquelin played very well in this game. He was fierce in attacking and fierce in the bottom, but the timing was not accurate enough. The most important thing was that after the start of the second half, Coquelin pulled Mane and had already taken a yellow card.
Phil Jones was extremely angry when he came off the court, almost fighting with Yaya Tourei... Based on Sun Wu’s understanding of his friends, Jones’s character is relatively straightforward, and there is nothing fancy, that is to say, Welbeck is likely to be fake Scam.
In the 68th minute, Sun Wu flew the Kokulin at the center circle and even brought Alta down.
Coquilin fell to the ground with his ankle in pain, and Sun Wu's feet were cruel.
Krattenberg showed Sun Wu a yellow card, which was the latter's fourth yellow card this season.
Then... three minutes later, Herrera passed in the middle, and Sun Wu made a surprise with a two-footed fast ball reversal motion over Alta.
"Beautiful fried meatballs...Best...Oh, Coquilin fouled!"
Sun Wu, who was stepped on his foot, paralyzed on the lawn while covering his instep. Coquilin complained innocently and angrily to the referee about the opponent's fall~EbookFREE.me~ But this is not really a fall.
After Sun Wu passed Arteta, Coquelin did not try to use foul tactics, because Arsenal had no obvious loopholes in the back line, he just wanted Sun Wu to pass the ball to the side.
But Sun Wu deliberately paused, the pass was a little late, the raised right foot deliberately touched the right foot extended by Coquelin... and then fell with a wailing cry.
Judging from the picture, Coquelin kicked on Wu Wu's instep.
The point is, just a few minutes ago, Sun Wu just got a yellow card for Coquilin's flying shovel... what does it mean?
This means that Coquilin is a deliberate retaliatory foul.
Wenger on the sidelines was a little helpless, and Pochettino wondered if this was Sun Wu's ghost.
In the locker room, Phil Jones, who saw the referee showing the second yellow card to Coquilin, was celebrating with a punch.
