Manchester United 1-0 Arsenal: United start positively then defend
extremely narrow

David Moyes recorded the first major victory of his tenure at Old
Trafford.Moyes selected Phil Jones in the centre of midfield alongside
Michael Carrick, and continued with Shinji Kagawa on the left.

Arsene Wenger was without Per Mertesacker and Tomas Rosicky due to flu, so
Thomas Vermaelen came into the side and Aaron Ramsey moved right.

This was a very narrow United victory, in a match where neither side played
at their best.

David Moyes在Old Trafford拿下了在他任內第一個重大的勝利。Moyes選擇在
中場放上Jones來搭配Carrick, 然後在左側放上Kagawa。

因為Mertesacker和Rosicky的感冒缺陣，所以Wenger選擇Vermaelen來打中衛
並且把Ramsey移到了右側。

這是曼聯的一場險勝，因為兩邊都打出了極佳的狀態。

Both sides play cautiously
比賽雙方都打得非常小心

The word ‘cagey’ is generally used to describe matches that are
slow to get going, but this was an interesting contest because it was
simultaneously rather defensive, yet also played at a high tempo. With just
one shot in the first half hour, neither side were attacking particularly
dangerously, but this was partly because both sides were set up more
defensively than usual.

這場比賽雙方都打的很小心謹慎，但這並不表示比賽枯燥乏味，反之，雙方都打
出了高節奏的進攻以及防守。在前半小時只有一次射門的情況下，每次雙方的進攻總
顯的異常的危險，但這有一部分原因是在於兩邊都打的比平常更為防守。

The use of Jones in the centre of midfield gave United tenacity and
fight, but also a midfielder who positioned himself more intelligently than
Tom Cleverley or Marouane Fellaini might have – he cut off Arsenal’s
passing angles and protected the back four, demonstrating that he’s not all
about running and tackling. Jones is certainly a versatile player and yet to
find a regular role in the side, but his positioning has improved over the
last year or so, whether playing at centre-back or in the centre of midfield.

把Jones放在中場不只是增加了曼聯的韌性和拼搶能力，加上Jones本場對於在中
場的位置感更優於Cleverley和Fellaini--他直接切斷了槍手的傳球角度並且保護了
後防四人，展示了他不是只會無盡的奔跑和抄截。Jones是個多面相的球員，而且他
在曼聯並沒有一個主要的固定位置，但是他的位置感從去年以來就在逐漸進步，不管
是在打中衛或是打中場時都有。

Arsenal, meanwhile, were also more defensive than Wenger would have
liked – he indicated he wouldn’t have played two deep midifelders had
Rosicky been available, and the Flamini-Arteta axis provided a good screen in
front of Arsenal’s (now) relatively unfamiliar centre-back partnership.
Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie rarely combined in open play, and the lack
of invention from United’s central midfield zone meant Arsenal were rarely
penetrated when they had men behind the ball.

同時，阿森那打的比Wenger想像中的還偏防守一些；Wenger指出他並不會在
Rosicky可以上場的時候擺上兩個站位較深的中場球員。Flamini-Arteta這一對組合
為槍手此次較不熟悉的中衛組合提供了良好的視野。Rooney和van Persie本次較少出
現開放式的進攻，而且加上曼聯的中場區域缺乏創造性，導致槍手很少有機會可以傳出
身後的直塞球。

United dominate opening
曼聯支配了開場

But the defensiveness was expected considering the line-ups. What was more
surprising, however, was that United started the game dominating possession,
with 67% in the opening ten minutes. Although they did relatively little with
the possession (in terms of getting it into the final third and creating
chances) it was an impressive start considering many expected Arsenal’s band
of passing midfielders to retain the ball from the outset and put United
under continual pressure.

這種防守從先發的陣容中可以預測到。而更令人驚訝的是，曼聯在開場十分鐘的持球
率是67%。相對於其他方面，儘管曼聯並沒有把全部精力都拿來控球，而是讓球員進入前
場三分之一的區域去創造機會，這依然是一個讓人印象深刻的開場，尤其是在許多人預期
阿森那的中場們從一開始就會掌握球權的這種不被看好的情況下。

前十分鐘雙方傳球路線示意圖

Maybe Arsenal were surprised at United’s dominance, because they seemed
completely unable to work the ball forward when possession was won. Having
expected to control the game in United’s half, they didn’t appear to have a
cohesive plan at transitions, and rarely exploited the space United left at
the back.

也許是阿森那對於曼聯前十分鐘的表現感到意外，因為當獲得球權時槍手們看起來似
乎沒辦法正常的把球往前傳。相較於預期中要把比賽控制在曼聯的半場，槍手們在傳導時
沒有展現出凝聚力，在曼聯左路後方的空間也沒有善加利用。


United narrow without possession
曼聯在沒有控球權的情形下壓縮防守

Without the ball, United used a tactic Moyes often favoured against
Arsenal as Everton boss (and also an approach he used against a wingerless
Tottenham last season) – which was to defend extremely narrow, with the
full-backs remaining close to the centre-backs, and the wide players tucking
inside into the middle.

在無持球的情況下，曼聯使用了當Moyes還在Everton當教練時就對阿森那使用的戰
術--在防守時陣型較窄，也就是讓邊後衛站位接近對手中衛(向場中靠攏而不是固定在邊
路，感謝classskipper大指正)，然後將其他球員放到中前場圍出來的區域。

Clearly, Moyes was concerned about Arsenal’s midfield dominance, and
although it took a while for Arsenal to start playing, the away side did
eventually dominate possession with both Ramsey and Santi Cazorla darting
inside to overload the centre. United’s narrowness, along with Carrick and
Jones’ deepness, prevented Arsenal playing intricate passes through the
middle, and with Olivier Giroud’s lack of pace and no direct runs from wide,
it was difficult to see how Arsenal were going to penetrate the United
defence.

很明顯的，Moyes對於阿森那的有統治力中場較為擔心，儘管阿森那花了一點時間
才進入比賽，但還是得到了控球權，並且有著Ramsey和Cazorla積極前插製造威脅。曼聯
的壓迫程度跟Carrick和Jones的站位深度極為相關，他們阻止了阿森那往中場送出直塞球
的可能，加上Giroud不快的速度而且他也沒有往較寬的區域跑位，這些原因都讓阿森那很
難穿透曼聯的防守。

Also deserving of a mention is Rooney, who has been very inconsistent with
his defensive work over the past couple of years, but essentially became a
fifth midfielder at times here. With Rooney deep, plus Kagawa and Antonio
Valencia moving inside, United weren’t overrun in the middle. Interestingly,
Rooney was generally picking up Mikel Arteta rather than Mathieu Flamini –
the Frenchman played higher up the pitch, as if Wenger wanted a combative
player to take the fight to United.

再加上Rooney, 他在過去的幾年的經驗讓他在防守時出現在很多區域，就像是變成第
五個中場球員一樣。有著Rooney的縱深覆蓋，加上Kagawa和Valencia一直前插到禁區內，
曼聯在中場並不會人滿為患。有趣的是，Rooney比較常選擇盯住Arteta，而不是Flamini。
法國人在場上的位置較於Arteta靠前，Wenger似乎是希望他作為一個肉博型的球員來跟曼
聯球員拼搶。

The only goal came from a set-piece: Van Persie’s near post header, from
the zone Mertesacker would probably have been defending, judging by Arsenal’s
format when defending corners against Liverpool.

本場唯一的進球--來自於van Persie，這是一個經過設計的進攻角球。從阿森那對上
利物浦的比賽中可以得知這區域通常為Mertesacker防守。

United reorganisation and Arsenal spread play wider
曼聯的重新組織和阿森那的拉開寬度進攻

Two key things happened at the start of the second half. First, Nemanja Vidic
went off injured and was replaced by Cleverley, with Jones dropping into
centre-back. This caused United problems: Cleverley lacked Jones’ positional
sense – almost immediately conceding a free-kick for tripping Giroud, for
example – and while Jones is a decent centre-back, he doesn’t have Vidic’s
aerial power.

兩個關鍵的因素使於下半場的開場：Vidic的受傷下場而使得Jones後退打中衛然後放
上Cleverley打中場。這對曼聯造成了一個問題，Cleverley的位置感比Jones更差，差點
因為一個自由球而對Giroud犯規導致進球，而且雖然Jones是個不錯的中衛，但他不像
Vidic有著空霸的能力。

That proved to be particularly crucial because Arsenal realised they needed
to exploit the wide open spaces on the flanks, and played a higher proportion
of their passes down the wings. Ramsey played as more of a conventional
right-sided midfielder in the opening stages of the second half, although
Wenger changed to more of a 4-1-4-1 / 4-3-3 by removing Flamini and
introducing Wilshere. Now, Arteta, Ramsey and Wilshere played as the midfield
trio while Ozil went wide-right.

那兩個因素如此重要是因為阿森那瞭解到他們必須從兩側利用寬度來拉開空間，然後
盡量將球傳到邊翼。雖然Wenger把隊形改為較像是4-1-4-1/4-3-3，並用Wilshere取代
Flamini，Ramsey在下半場的一開始的位置卻更像是傳統的右中場。至此，Arteta和Ramsey
和Wilshere打三中場並且讓Ozeil往右移動拉開距離。

And while Arsenal didn’t equalise, Wenger deserves credit for the switch
– Arsenal quickly showed signs of penetrating the United defence. Wilshere
provided a good forward burst to get in behind, and then Ozil’s angled run
from the right should have resulted in a fine chance – he seemed to pull out
at the last moment.

當阿森那還沒追平時，Wenger的換人是值得讚賞的--槍手很快就找到了穿透曼聯防守
的機會。Wilshere很好的提供了向前衝刺的力量，然後Ozeil從右路插向禁區應該是要得到
一個很好的機會的。

Sagna dominates
Sagna的完美表現

With Arsenal dominating possession and United remaining extremely narrow,
the key feature of the final 20 minutes was Bacary Sagna getting space down
the right flank, and repeatedly hitting some fantastic balls into the box.
His crossing created two chances, but two of his ‘unsuccessful’ balls were
actually even better deliveries. Hit into the ‘corridor of uncertainty’
between United’s back four and goalkeeper, they were begging for a touch,
but Arsenal somehow failed to convert the chances.

當阿森那佔據了球權而且曼聯還處於高度壓迫的時候，在最後的關鍵20分鐘，Sagna
找到了在右路的空擋，並持續將球送到禁區裡。他的傳中製造了兩次機會，但是他也有
兩次不成功的傳球，那是可以再踢更好的。把球傳到曼聯的四名後衛和門將中間，但阿
森那卻沒辦法把機會轉化為進球。

Sagna的傳中路線圖

Wenger had replaced Cazorla with Nicolas Bendtner to provide an extra
aerial threat in the box, which further encouraged Arsenal to cross the ball.
Meanwhile, Moyes was concerned about Sagna’s freedom so introduced Ryan
Giggs in place of Kagawa, with instructions to stop the crosses. Sagna still
got plenty of room, however, and this showed the fine line (just one Arsenal
player providing a touch on a cross) between Moyes’ strategy being regarded
as ‘highly successful’ and ‘naive’.

Wenger用Bendtner換下了Cazorla因為他可以在禁區內高空球有更高的威脅，這也鼓
舞了槍手們給出傳中球。同時Moyes認為給Sagna太多空間了所以放上了Giggs取代Kagawa
來減少他的傳中球，但Sagna還是有很多空檔。無論如何，這個結果(只有一個阿森那球員
在傳中的時候有碰到球)顯示了Moyes的戰術在高度成功和缺乏經驗之間有了一個良好的思
路。

Conclusion
結論

There were two different Manchester United sides here – the positive,
possession-orientated side of the first ten minutes, and the increasingly
defensive, narrow side that just about dealt with continual Arsenal pressure.
United should have created more chances with the former approach, and made
more decisive clearances with the latter approach, but there’s reason to be
positive about the variation in strategy.

總的來說曼聯的戰術分為兩部分，比較積極的是以控球為取向的前十分鐘，和更趨於
防守，壓縮空間，並且要應付來自阿森那的持續威脅的防守面向。曼聯進攻時應該要製造
出更多機會，然後在防守時要做更多決定性的清球。這就是為什麼要在戰術的多樣性上持
續更積極。

Arsenal were far from their best, with their passing extremely sloppy
throughout the game, and penetration only arriving after substitutions. Sagna
’s crossing was a positive, and having created goals against Napoli and
Liverpool, he has been a key part of Arsenal’s season so far.

阿森那本場並不是他們的最佳表現，從那些整場都極度遲緩的傳球就可以發現，只有
在換上替補時才展現他們的穿透性傳球。Sagna的傳中非常積極，並且在對上Napoli和
利物浦時都製造了進球，從本賽季開始到現在，他一直在扮演一個關鍵的角色。
