The Frenchman elaborates on the Red Devils tendency to switch wings quickly and attack with pace out wide to cause panic in the Gunners defence...
Manchester United’s captain has come out and stated that their game plan to exploit Arsenal’s defence worked to perfection at the Emirates stadium as Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429
by two goals to one.
Manchester United dominated the match from start to finish and could’ve scored more goals if they were more clinical with the chances that they created over the course of the encounter. Sir Alex started with Luis http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299 and Antonio
Valencia on both the wings, a move that troubled Arsenal’s weakened defence as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Johan-Djourou-c18779 and Vermaelen had trouble dealing with their respective wingers down the touchline.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231 gave a captains performance as
well as he kept http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Theo-Walcott-c34873 shackled and also surged up the field to support his team mates in attack.
Evra revealed after the match, "[Our plan] was to put pressure on the left-back and right-back and that’s what we did. We had a good shape in the first half and played very well, but the second half was not the best. We did not
[focus on Djourou], we just wanted to keep a good shape and hit them on the counter. We have done this many times against Arsenal. We don’t look at the other team, only ourselves."
He added, "We knew before the game that City won against Tottenham but we had to be focussed on ourselves. We are United. It was a great win today, we want everything [to be] perfect and there was 15 minutes in the second half
where Arsenal played very well but we kept it strong. The most important thing today was to win.”
Sir Alex will hope that his team can continue their fine run of form against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 as well in their next F.A Cup tie against the Merseyside Reds especially after their controversial draw against Kenny Dalglish’s men earlier
on in the season in the English Premier League.
