Chapter 445 Time is a butchering knife
At the end of the season, when it comes to the championship sprint, if Arsenal really lets go, it will be good news for Manchester United.
England national team captain Beckham cheered his former club Manchester United and continued to put pressure on Chelsea.
"Manchester United has been in excellent form recently, and the points gap with the leader Chelsea has narrowed to 2 points. In early May, the two teams have another chance to face each other head-on at Stamford Bridge."
"I think Manchester United will continue to rise, and I do think so," Real Madrid midfielder Beckham told the Daily Mirror. "You never pay attention because Chelsea still maintains a 2-point advantage, but I do think Manchester United has a good chance because they have performed so well."
"The team's performance is great. They keep scoring goals and have many players in the team who can score, such as Dong, Rooney, Ronaldo, Park. The whole team has performed very well," Beckham said generously to his old club. "Chelsea is also a great team with a strong coach, but I think Manchester United, who is in a better state, will keep up and bring unexpected surprises to people. I will wait and see what will happen in the future."
"Arsenal eliminated us last month, and now they still have a good chance to eliminate Juventus. I don't think they have to play a big game with Manchester United after losing their league title, unless they want to lose to Juventus away next Wednesday."

No,
Wenger quickly gave the answer, he was not as indecisive as Benitez, and obviously he just wanted to focus on the Champions League.
He quickly announced the starting lineup:
1-Leiman; 27-Eboue, 28-Turé, 20-Sendros, 16-Framini; 7-Pile, 15-Fabregas, 19-Gilberto Silva, 13-Hleb; 25-Adebayo, 11-Van Persi
Although this lineup is also very strong, it is missing Henry, Yongbery, Edu, Campbell, Borgkamp, and Reyes...
When Ferguson saw that Henry did not play, he also rotated several players.
19-Van der Sar; 26-Basley, 28-Pick, 27-Silvester, 23-Richardson; 24-Fletcher, 16-Carrick, 25-Fuqian; Rooney, 9-Dong Fangzhuo.
But the trident in the front court was not replaced and remained the same.
Of course, everyone sat on the bench.
"Is Ferguson a little bit big? Although Arsenal has also removed several main players, it feels like Ferdinand and others are still more stable on the court. Although Henry is not here, this central defender combination still makes people feel uncomfortable."
"Arsenal captain Henry was surprisingly placed on the bench by Wenger, with Van Persie and Adebayo starting the front line, and Pire replaced Lyonberg to enter the starting lineup. This is naturally to prepare for the Champions League in the middle of next week."
Arsenal once had the upper hand after the opening, with a ball possession rate of 58% in the first 10 minutes. The reason for this is that Manchester United's defense line is too tender. Although Carrick is in the front behind, once the ball falls into Manchester United's defense line, it will seem a bit messy.
In the 3rd minute, Fabregas made a wonderful pass, and Hleb made a straight pass from the right in the penalty area. Adebayo tried to pass the heel to Pire under pressure from Basley. Pique panicked and cleared the ball first. But the ball still fell at Fabregas's feet. Fabregas made a straight pass, and Van Persie's left-footed shot, which was lacking strength at the edge of the penalty area, was confiscated by Van der Sar.
When Van Persie shot, Sylvester seemed to be thinking about life again. Fortunately, Van Persie's shooting quality was poor.
A minute later, Adebayo leaned against Pique on the right and turned around to pass the ball. Ebue, who was inserted, kicked 25 yards from the right, but the defender was the defender after all, and he failed to hit the ball on the front frame.
"This line of defense is not good..."
"It's better to get to Vidic and Ferdinand as soon as possible."
"Mainly because Sylvester is too tricky, and Vidic and Ferdinand are not around, Pique also seems a little panicked. I hope Sylvester will become Pique's leader? Dreaming?"
Manchester United fans expressed their urgent concerns. Ferguson was too brave to play, but their hearts couldn't afford to play.
Hleb and Fabregas are quite active, and new aid Adebayor is also very active, so Manchester United has had to retreat. But Ferguson has long played his experience in playing against Arsenal. Arsenal's seemingly gorgeous attack is actually not very effective. They always like to pass the ball into the goal, but without Henry's threading and attacking in the front, how can it be so easy?
In the first fifteen minutes, their offensive was thunderous and seemed to be about to kill Manchester United.
In the 7th minute, Hleb broke through and passed the ball to the right after stealing the ball. Adebayo dribbled the ball into the right side of the penalty area and was cut by Sylvester. He finally couldn't do anything. But as soon as he cleared the ball, Gilberto in the backcourt hit the right side. Van Persie took the ball and cut in the middle, then took a long shot. Van der Sar did not hold it away without any pressure.
Then Gigilberto Silva's long shot from 30 yards on the right missed again.
In this way, Arsenal's opening attack became weak.
It was Manchester United's turn to perform, and Manchester United then gradually entered the game state and successfully gained control.
In the 13th minute, Basley rushed up and cooperated with Ronaldo, and then made a cross from the right. Dong Fangzhuo could not grab the landing point in the middle, and the ball was headed by Ebue.
Vidic and Ferdinand are not there, only Pique, one of the central defenders rushed to Arsenal's penalty area to cooperate with Dong Fangzhuo.
Then Rooney took a corner kick from the left, and Pique, who was tall and big, really grabbed the spot. He headed the ball in front. Under the interference of Toure, Dong Fangzhuo was finally pushed out by Flamini in time.
"With Campbell, even Dong seems to be a little unexcited."
But before he finished speaking, Dong Fangzhuo was slapped in the face.
South African man Fuqiong handed the ball to Dong Fangzhuo's feet. Gilberto Silva was eaten and hung up by Dong Fangzhuo in advance, making Dong Fangzhuo turn around and forced Dong Fangzhuo to knock him down. Ronaldo shot directly from 28 yards in the middle, completing Manchester United's first shot.
Three minutes later, Rooney took Pire raw with speed, and Pirey fouled Rooney in front of the penalty area.
Ronaldo shot directly with a free kick again. The ball was bypassed by the wall of man but was punched by Lehmann. Rooney made a straight pass from the edge of the penalty area and was intercepted by Sendros.
In the 21st minute, Dong Fangzhuo pulled to the left, and it was his turn to use speed to fuck Pire. Pire once again didn't want it, and in the end he had to put Dong Fangzhuo down.
The nature is not serious, and the referee did not take out the cards to Piret, but he made two fouls in just a few minutes, so Piret was obviously out of shape.
Rooney passed a free kick from the left and was rubbed by Ebue. Not far away, Dong Fangzhuo escaped from Toure's defense, rushed out of the penalty area and turned to shoot sideways. Lehman flew to save the ball.
Manchester United completed multiple shots through a free kick. Reinkell instantly sighed: "The Lord's eyes can see thoroughly. Although Arsenal still has several big shots on the court, they are all old. Looking at the scene where Dong, Rooney, and Ronaldo eat them raw, I really have to sigh that time is a pig-killing knife. Even if you have all your skills, once you lose your speed, you will only be slaughtered by the opponent."
After the corner kick was taken, Fabregas cleared the ball with a big foot in the penalty area and finally temporarily lifted the crisis.
Hleb in the middle got the ball and directly broke through Manchester United's left side. Van Persie leaned against Pique and shot it, but shot an anti-aircraft gun...
Then Manchester United continued to play with Arsenal.
Pire and Gilberto couldn't keep up with the pace, especially when Manchester United counterattacked, their defense speed was too slow.
When the long season entered the final stage, the physical fitness of these veterans was also worrying.
Chapter completed!
