Xiao Qing didn't care about the boos at Old Trafford Stadium. He didn't care about what he would get away, because what Xiao Qing needed was to help the team score goals, and what he needed was to help the team take away the victory in this game. Although Xiao Qing now knows that he is not popular at Old Trafford Stadium, he really doesn't care, because what he wants is to help the team go further, and what he needs is to help the team get out of the predicament.

Arsenal's current situation is undoubtedly really not very good. The offense that Arsenal relied on is not able to play at this time. Arsenal has no way to break through Manchester United's midfield and backcourt defense organization's offense. Arsenal can only waste Xiao Qing's strong point and cannot pose a threat in the game.

This is very unfavorable for Arsenal, because they know that what Arsenal needs most in the game is to score goals, and what they need is to play the team's rhythm. Being led by the opponent is not good news, especially in a fight with a strong team like Manchester United. Once Arsenal loses its rhythm, it is very likely that they will fall into a passive position, and they are very likely to find a way to win in the game because of this.

So what Arsenal now needs is to find the rhythm in the game, and what they need is to quickly get out of such passiveness. For Arsenal, the longer it is restrained by Manchester United, the greater the crisis. Because it is already Manchester United's rhythm, they have enough time to adjust at this time, because they can really use their current advantages to find loopholes in Arsenal's defensive end in the game.

The masters may be able to win the final victory in just a small gap. Arsenal cannot expose his shortcomings to Manchester United's sight. Arsenal now needs more self-protection, and they really cannot be so at a loss.

Xiao Qing knew that it was time to stand up and help the team. Although he had indeed encountered considerable difficulties in the game, and although Arsenal now had no way to form a better offense, at such a moment, Xiao Qing could not just passively wait for his teammates to create opportunities. Now Xiao Qing needs to use his strong performance to help his teammates create opportunities.

In the 21st minute, Xiao Qing's test shot outside the penalty area on the right side was directly out of the far corner. One minute later, Fletcher made a cross from the right wing, and Zhulu headed the ball to the poor landing point. Nani made a siege shot from the right side of the penalty area, and the ball rubbed against the far post and would miss it. In the 25th minute, Rooney's shot from the left side of the penalty area was confiscated by Szczesny. In the 30th minute, Xiao Qing made a handball in the penalty area when Manchester United crossed the left wing in the penalty area, but the referee refused to award a penalty.

Xiao Qing widened her eyes and shouted at the referee. This was an obvious handball, but the referee didn't see it at this time! Xiao Qing was really unhappy. Perhaps it would be difficult for Arsenal to get a better offensive opportunity in this game. Arsenal must seize every advantage. But unfortunately, the referee did not take care of Arsenal at this time. He even missed this key penalty like a bit against Arsenal.

Although Xiao Qing was pulled away by his teammates, perhaps the referee, who knew he was in the wrong, did not punish Xiao Qing for his fierce remarks; but after all, Arsenal lost at this time. The team was passive, but now such a key penalty has been missed, which makes the Gunners feel angry.

The competition was fierce afterwards, and Wenger and Ferguson both acted dissatisfied with the penalty. For Manchester United, they had great experience in dealing with Arsenal; although Manchester United has never been a team with rough play, and although they rarely have any notoriety on the defensive end, they were used to being tough when facing Arsenal. Because they knew that Arsenal's style of play was soft, as long as they used a tougher offense to make Arsenal lose the rhythm, they were likely to be able to gain more advantages in the game.

Arsenal, the doll team in the past, may have been a little soft. They were often at a loss when facing teams with tough styles; but Arsenal is not so weak now. Arsenal now has the confidence of a champion team, and their players are becoming more and more confident and strong on the court. They do not allow the team to be violated too much in the game, especially when their opponents are teams like Manchester United.

Arsenal and Manchester United are competing for incoming land. Their fights on the court are quite fierce; the players of the two teams are also angry in such increasingly fierce fights, and their movements on the court are getting bigger and bigger.

In the 35th minute of the game, Al Shavin encountered Fletcher's robbery when he cut in, and the two players collided without any concessions. Arsenal players naturally thought Fletcher had committed a foul, while Manchester United players naturally thought that Al Shavin was deliberately hitting someone. So the scene was very hot. At this time, the players of the two teams naturally rushed forward and shoved. The players of the two teams who disliked each other seized this opportunity to completely ignite the smell of gunpowder on the court.

Although the referee's rushing whistle made the players of the two teams quickly get away. Although the referee showed mercy and did not show a yellow card warning, seeing the players of the two teams leaving with dissatisfaction on their faces, this is enough to show that the players of the two teams are getting angry, and they are now even more impatient with their opponents.

Of course, Xiao Qing is a player who is not happy with Manchester United. He also knows that the current Manchester United players must be very dissatisfied with him; but they are here to fight on the court, and Xiao Qing is not here to make friends with Manchester United players. The smell of gunpowder is just gunpowder, and Xiao Qing doesn't care about these at all. He even looks forward to these, because the stronger smell of gunpowder will inspire the fighting spirit of the players of the two teams. They will perform more intensely in such a critical game, and such a game will be more interesting.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Chamak directly kicked Nani in the backcourt and was warned by a yellow card. In stoppage time, Arshawen lost the ball at the door and tackled Fletcher and took the initiative to apply for a yellow card.

Arsenal is now very tough, even tougher than Manchester United. Whenever Arsenal encounters some rough fouls, the Gunners will definitely use more fierce attacks to counterattack in the next round. Moreover, Arsenal is not a gentle team now, they only need to show more fierce spirit than Manchester United.

The head-on encounter between Arsenal and Manchester United is indeed very exciting. Since Vieira and a group of old Arsenal ministers left one after another, Arsenal has not been so tough for a long time; but now Arsenal seems to have regained its iron blood again. Although they may not be as good as the tough Arsenal, Arsenal is not at all weak when facing a team like Manchester United.

In the first half, Arsenal and Manchester United tied each other for a silly draw after the half; the players of the two teams quickly walked towards the player channel because they knew that the first half of the game did not represent much, and the second half of the game was the key. For Arsenal, the second half of the game would be their duel with Manchester United. Although Arsenal fell into a passive position for a period of time after the opening of the first half, Arsenal became more and more tough. The Gunners also slowly reversed the decline.

This is a very good news, and it is a good signal for Arsenal; because they withstood the pressure, because they showed the style of defending champions in the game, Xiao Qing and his teammates were basically satisfied with the first half because they were not at all inferior.

As for Wenger, he was also very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half. Although Arsenal was once passive, what made him happy was Arsenal's tenacity in the face of difficulties. It was Arsenal's unprecedented toughness in recent seasons. So Wenger is very confident that as long as the team continues to maintain this state, they will definitely be able to take away a victory at Old Trafford Stadium.

"Young guys, you did a great job, continue to maintain this state!" Wenger, who was very satisfied with the team's performance, naturally praised the players. "We are the defending champions, we are the league leaders. So we need to be more confident in the game. We are the best team, and Manchester United is just the chasers behind us. They still have a big gap with us. So you need to be more confident in the game. You should understand that we are the ones who take the initiative!"

"In the second half, I need you to maintain such confidence and form. Maybe Manchester United will be tougher in the second half, but you need to understand that Arsenal is the best team, you need to be tougher than them! No team can defeat Arsenal, you need to understand that this is the confidence that the champion team should maintain! We don't need to worry at all in the second half. We have more initiative, and we can wait for them to make mistakes. Men, be patient and keep your tough so that we can win the game, and they will make mistakes first!" Wenger was very confident because Arsenal was getting better. Because the current scene was what the Gunners wanted to see.

Xiao Qing naturally understands Arsenal's current advantages. Arsenal is now leading Manchester United in the standings to up to ten, which also means it is extremely difficult for Manchester United to catch up with Arsenal. For the Gunners, even if this game is a draw, it is acceptable, but for Manchester United, this is unacceptable. Because they need to narrow the gap in such a key game, this is also their most likely opportunity to snipe Arsenal.

The Gunners now have the initiative, so they don’t need to panic at all. They just need to perform more patiently. They just need to wait for Manchester United to make mistakes. Arsenal can now wait for Manchester United to make mistakes, and they can be relatively less burden-free in the game.

So Arsenal, who knows the advantages of his team, is the main task in the second half to give full play to the advantages of the team. For them, their current task is to perform more patiently in the game. Once Manchester United makes a mistake under huge pressure, it is time for the Gunners to launch a fatal blow.
