The intense pace is seriously draining the players' physical energy.
Even though it was only the first half, many people were already out of breath, which shows how fast the pace was!
At this moment, Manchester United suddenly kicked an extremely sharp through ball.
The through ball came from Rooney, who took advantage of a pressing opportunity to steal the ball from Arteta.
Then the ball was sent into Arsenal's heartland.
At this time, Arsenal was in an offensive state, and the back line was seriously pushed forward.
Rooney penetrated Arsenal's defense with one kick.
Van Persie was running as fast as he could to chase the ball, and following behind him was Gibbs!
Gibbs sprinted at full speed, but Van Persie still touched the ball first and then dribbled the ball with a long stride.
"Van Persie!! Chance!!"
Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray exclaimed and couldn't help but stand up.
The Manchester United fans at the scene also looked at Van Persie expectantly.
Van Persie took a big step forward and dribbled the ball, trying to get rid of Gibbs.
But Gibbs stuck to him.
Under Gibbs's entanglement, both of them slowed down.
At this time, Andy Gray noticed a figure sprinting madly towards Van Persie.
The neat crew cut and the aura of a tiger.
"Kai!! He's returning to defense!!"
Van Persie is tangling with Gibbs.
At this moment, Van Persie suddenly stopped, and Gibbs failed to keep his balance and slipped forward.
Van Persie was about to dribble the ball forward, but the next second, a figure flashed past his eyes and kicked the ball out of the baseline with a big foot!
Van Persie was knocked to the ground, and when he turned his head, he saw the number 4 on the back of the jersey.
"It's this guy again!"
Van Persie was furious!
Lekai slowed down slowly. He first confirmed that the ball had gone out of the baseline, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, he looked towards the goal.
Szczesny gave him a thumbs up!
Szczesny was ready to attack, but he noticed Lucky retreating, so he didn't attack.
Lucky's defense was timely.
"It's this guy again!!"
"Why is it always him?!"
"Why does this guy always sabotage every attack?!"
Manchester United fans held their heads with a look of pain on their faces.
The small number of Arsenal away fans gave the loudest applause.
In the 'Oak Bar', Billy and others also burst into loud cheers.
“Well done!!”
Billy waved his fist excitedly, and the other fans were also excited.
"Returning to defense just in time!"
"Scared me!"
"I feel like Kai's speed has increased!"
"It's not that he got faster, it's that the others got slower. This game consumed too much energy, and many people couldn't run anymore!"
There was warm applause at the scene.
…
At the coaching bench, Lekai's steal also drew different reactions from the two head coaches.
Ferguson's face turned pale; "Shit!"
Wenger looked delighted: "Well done!"
Immediately, the two looked at each other!
Almost at the same time, they rushed towards the fourth official.
"This is a foul!"
"Reasonable collision!!"
In the end, the referee ruled that it was a reasonable collision and awarded Manchester United a corner kick.
In the arena, Lucky was still shouting.
"Retreat! Retreat! Everyone, run! You feel tired, and so do Manchester United players! Now is the time to test your perseverance!"
Upon hearing this, the Arsenal players gritted their teeth and returned to the penalty area to defend.
Manchester United took a corner kick and there was chaos in the penalty area as everyone scrambled for the header.
Koscielny won the first point and headed the ball to Arteta.
Arteta immediately turned around and started dribbling towards the opponent's penalty area.
After landing, Lucky yelled: "Run!!——"
Immediately, Cazorla, Podolski, Suarez and Walcott, six people turned around and started running.
The sprinting posture of the six people shocked the Manchester United defenders.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
But Manchester United's defense was not immediate.
In other words, Arsenal players rushed too fast.
After dribbling for a while, Arteta passed the ball directly to Lukay.
Lucky didn't stick to the ball and passed it to Walcott again, allowing the fastest man to rush forward.
At the same time, others rushed into the restricted area.
Lucky rushed into the penalty area and immediately a Manchester United player came to mark him.
At this time, Walcott also completed the pass.
This is a horizontal ball, rolling towards Lucky.
But Lucky rushed too fast and the ball was behind him.
Damn it!
Lekai cursed inwardly and was about to stretch his foot to hook the ball, but he paused and suddenly lifted his foot without touching the ball.
Podolski later came in and volleyed the ball with the outside of his foot.
The ball stuck to the ground, passed through the small door of Manchester United defender Fernando, and went into the goal.
"Koscielny heads the ball away, Arteta receives it and Arsenal counterattack!"
"Six people! The gunmen are charging!!"
"Pass the ball! Kai! Keep passing the ball! Walcott!! Cross! This ball... is a miss! Podolski!!!"
Andy Gray's voice suddenly became louder and louder, and he jumped up in an instant, shouting wildly; "Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!!"
"Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal!!!"
"Podolski!! Great shot! Great pass from Walcott! Great pass from Kai!!"
"God! They overtook Manchester United at Old Trafford!!!"
"They are going to kick Manchester United off their throne!!"
Throughout the Old Trafford stadium, a small number of Arsenal fans were cheering enthusiastically.
In London, Arsenal fans were in a frenzy.
In the bar, Arsenal fans suddenly stood up and jumped up at the moment the goal was scored. They forgot that they were still holding their glasses and the drink spilled all over the floor.
But they didn't care about that, they were so excited at the moment.
Goal!!
Overtaken!!
They overtook Manchester United at Old Trafford!!
The smell of alcohol filled the air, and the cheers from the crowd grew louder and louder.
Arsenal fans raised their arms and cheered for the victory:
"Forward!! Gunners!!!——"
In the game, after Podolski scored, Arsenal players also went crazy! !
Walcott and Lukay tackled Podolski to the ground.
Soon, Suarez and others also gathered around.
"Shit! I thought you were going to touch the ball!"
"Give me a signal next time. I thought you missed the target!"
"How can it be!!"
"Anyway, it's a goal ! Well done, Lucas!!"
Podolski waved his arms happily!
They came back at Old Trafford.
On the sidelines, the professor suddenly jumped up at the moment the goal was scored. He clenched his fists and kept waving them up and down in front of him. He was so excited that he didn't know what to do with his feet.
But soon, Patles rushed over and hugged him.
The two celebrated together.
Ferguson's face turned livid.
He looked at the celebrating Wenger and the situation on the field, and his gum chewing movements became more and more rapid, giving people a feeling of gritting his teeth.
Apparently, the Ferguson hair dryer is about to start working.
On the field, the Arsenal players finished their celebration and returned to their own field.
But we still can't let our guard down.
Manchester United's counterattack is no joke.
Moreover, they did not think that this one goal could defeat Manchester United.
Sure enough, after losing the ball, Manchester United launched a crazy counterattack.
The impact of Manchester United is so strong that it is impossible to measure.
Because of these guys, every attack they make is full of momentum and with a desperate spirit.
This also made Arsenal's defense extremely difficult.
Lekai keeps running, blocking and intercepting!
He could even feel that his calves had begun to tremble and his thighs were in severe pain.
He understood that this was a sign that the muscles had reached their maximum load.
But he can't stop!
He needs to run!
He needs to defend!
It can be seen from the camera that Lekai is always able to come to the defensive area and help his teammates or complete the tasks of limiting, blocking, intercepting and stealing alone.
Even Andy Gray of Sky Sports couldn't help but marvel:
"Look at this guy, he's always running into the defense, he's everywhere!"
Commentator partner Richard Kois also had bright eyes and said, "He fought so hard! It felt like he had reached his limit, but he was still fighting! What kind of perseverance is that!"
Andy Gray nodded in admiration: "The most important thing is that he kept it all!"
Richard said seriously, "Wenger should let him rest for a while. He is only 19 years old and his muscles are not fully developed yet. He started in the starting lineup from the fourth round of the league, and with his crazy running, he has too much exercise and may cause irreparable damage!"
Andy Gray also nodded and said: "But now Arsenal is too dependent on Kai's defense!"
Hearing this, Richard could only sigh.
In the field, Lekai kept running. He felt his thighs groaning, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
But this did not stop Manchester United's attack.
In the 44th minute of the first half, Van Persie attracted the defense and passed the ball diagonally to Rooney outside the penalty area.
Rooney received the ball and fired a powerful shot towards the goal!
The shot was powerful and fast.
A world-class shot passed through Szczesny's hands and penetrated Arsenal's goal.
As the first half was about to end, Rooney helped Manchester United equalize the score with a world-class goal.
Until the end of the first half, the score was still 2:2.
