Chapter 995 Gunner Myth Battle of Tianwang Mountain

Faced with Li Huan's self-confidence or arrogant challenge, Ferdinand did not dare to respond, because with the current momentum of Arsenal, no one dared to say that they could not achieve the Grand Slam.

The players fought a war of words in the media, and the fans also started a confrontation on the Internet forums. Not only in the British Isles, but the whole world was watching the battle between Manchester United and Arsenal. European bookmakers also paid attention to this battle. Odds were issued for the game. It can be said that this week, the entire world of football is revolving around the Red Devils and the Gunners.

The FA also attached great importance to this game and sent the best referee in the UK, Howard Webber. Webber, who was a policeman, first served as a referee in the Rotherham Regional League in 1989. Now he has 21 years of law enforcement experience. In 2010, he reached the pinnacle of his personal refereeing career, law enforcement in many key Premier League battles, European Champions Cup finals and World Cup finals.Obviously already has the meaning of the world's first whistle.

This season, Manchester United has maintained a complete victory at home, but facing Arsenal, which has maintained a complete victory in 16 rounds, Ferguson still does not have enough confidence. In the press conference before the game, Ferguson once again solemnly talked about the match the opinion of.

"This game is very important for us, we have to win because we have to make up for the points we lost up front, we have to make sure we have the right to fight for the league title and not lose hope at halfway, so we have to give it our all .

Arsenal has injury problems. When you lack your best players, it is usually difficult to get the best results. Arsenal will have 1 or 2 key players missing, but as long as Li Huan is there, it will be It's a tough game, not just in the last two years, but in the last 15 years it's been competitive between our two clubs, they're both playing at high speed, these games are always emotional. kind.

I believe we will win in the end, we are not only fighting for ourselves, but also the whole Premier League, except for the Gunners fans, all the fans support us to beat them, and we are playing at home, Old Trafford It will give the players great confidence and pride. "

In addition, as Wenger is facing the scandal of cheating, Ferguson once again appealed to fans not to attack Wenger personally, "I think other clubs have the same point of view on criticizing the head coach as I do. There should be enough players in the game." Respect, don't ruin someone's reputation. "

However, Arsenal did not recognize and thank Sir Alex Ferguson for his appeal. Assistant coach Rice said: "Originally this matter (scandal) has almost disappeared, and Sir Alex Ferguson mentioned this matter at this time, which is like reminding himself Fans use this to attack Arsene. Coach Wenger."

The professor was very magnanimous and didn't mention this matter at the press conference before the game. Of course, it may also be that he was afraid that things would get out of hand again after kicking off.

Unlike the high-profile and confident disciples, the professor decompressed his team at the press conference, "For Manchester United, this is a battle of life and death, for us, this is just a league game, that's all, we lead by 7 points, This is very important, we can win this game, we can lose, we can draw, because no team can win the championship halfway, even if we win all halfway, I think you have to be patient if you want to win something."

At the same time, the professor also put pressure on the referee at the press conference because he was worried that the FA would balance the game. After all, after Arsenal won, the Premier League champion basically lost suspense, which is not good for the entire Premier League.

"The game at Old Trafford will definitely be different, 7 people will put a lot of psychological pressure on the referee, but I believe Webber will deal with this problem very well, and he will make the game go on fairly and equitably. .”

The hot-tempered Ferguson was very unhappy with the professor's pettiness, and he straightforwardly satirized his old opponent when the reporter asked questions next. "The professor's eagle eye usually turns a blind eye to surprises in the game that favor his team. After the game, he will say that he will wait until he has re-watched the tape. But if it is against Arsenal, Wenger will immediately turn a blind eye. Knowing each other's name, jersey number, birthday, blood type, favorite mistake and head size, and sending that information to the FA so fast you can't even read a monosyllabic name."

In order to allow all fans to have the opportunity to watch this world-renowned game, the battle between Arsenal and Manchester United was scheduled to be held at nine o'clock in the evening.Sky Sports not only started the 3D live broadcast, but also sent its own famous commentator Alan Perry and the famous referee Georgia.

Fans have been waiting for this game for a long time, and the tickets for Old Trafford have been sold out, which is said to have broken the record of 76004 fans watching Old Trafford.

The prediction of Arsenal's assistant coach before the game was confirmed. Under the influence of jealousy and hatred, Manchester United fans did not take Sir Alex Ferguson's warning to heart. Trafford" banner, although the fans did not write that the professor is a pedophile, but before the start of the game, the fans sang and insulted the professor, and the Arsenal fans also sang back and insulted Ferguson.The stands were explosive from the start.

The game has not yet started, and in the CCTV5 studio hall, the commentator has already started to warm up for the game.

"In the Premier League, Ferguson and Wenger are definitely old rivals. The two sides have faced each other 42 times in their coaching careers in the Premier League. Among them, Ferguson has a record of 17 wins, 11 draws and 14 losses. Take the upper hand. No matter what the circumstances, the showdown between Manchester United and Arsenal will be exciting, because this is not just a showdown between two Premier League giants, but also a contest between two meritorious managers. … ..." Duan Xuan said.

Tao Wei added: "In all the 209 confrontations in the history of the two sides, Manchester United has the upper hand with 85 wins, 46 draws and 78 losses. However, since Li Huan joined last season, the Gunners have a clear advantage in record. Now Arsenal have 16 rounds and 16 consecutive matches Wins topped the list, Manchester United ranked second behind Arsenal with 16 wins, one loss and two draws in the 13 rounds. .Arsenal is still suffering from injuries recently. Both the No. 7 and No. 1 goalkeepers are injured. This is their biggest weakness, but as long as Li Huan is not injured, Arsenal will move towards the goal normally like an invincible giant ship... ..."

这个时候双方的球员已经从球员通道里走了出来，曼联队的首发11人是：1-范德萨/21-拉斐尔、5-费迪南德、15-维迪奇、3-埃弗拉/24-弗莱彻、16-卡里克、8-安德森/17-纳尼、10-鲁尼、13-朴智星

阿森纳队的首发11人是：53-什琴斯尼/3-萨尼亚、13-李欢、6-科斯切尔尼、22-克利希/17-亚历山大-宋、19-威尔谢尔/14-沃尔科特、8-纳斯里、23-阿尔沙文/33-查马克

In this game, Manchester United played the main force, but the veteran Giggs was placed on the bench, and the midfielders were all experienced and aggressive players who could run.

Ferguson intends to compete for the control of the midfield at Old Trafford and Arsenal. Last season, the two defensive counterattacks failed to achieve good results. This season, the Jazz are ready to change their style of play. The control of Manchester United's midfield is not enough. Poor, the impact is stronger. When Arsenal lacks Cesc Fabregas, it is a good move to fight the midfielder. This will not only curb most of Arsenal's attacks, but also reduce Arsenal's breakthroughs in the frontcourt. .

Of course, the premise of such a lineup is that Ferguson judges that Li Huan will appear in the central defender position. In recent games, Li Huan has been playing central defender. Now Vermaelen is still unable to play. Ferguson believes that the professor who has always disliked changes will definitely play Using Li Huan as a central defender, Ferguson had a good understanding of Wenger's psychology, and Li Huan really appeared in the central defender's position.

The professor and Ferguson have been fighting for more than ten years, and they are not ignorant of this old opponent's mind. Due to the absence of Fabregas, in this game, Li Huan still appeared in the middle to defend for the sake of stability, but the two On the side, he deployed Arshavin and Walcott, two wingers with excellent speed and technique, and sent Chamark, who was excellent at grabbing points, in the center, which also offset Li Huan's defect of not being able to appear on the side to a certain extent.

The two old opponents fought in battle, each guessed some intentions of the opponent, and made targeted tactical arrangements, but the actual effect still needs to be tested in actual combat.

With referee Webber's whistle, the 210th game between Arsenal and Manchester United officially kicked off.

Arsenal, who kicked off first, was not in a hurry to attack. They had a 7-point advantage, and they could deal with Manchester United with a relaxed attitude. After Chamark and Walcott passed the ball in the middle circle, the ball gradually went backwards. , Lure Manchester United to attack forward.

The ball was passed to Li Huan's feet. When Li Huan passed the ball to Sagna, Manchester United's quick press had arrived. Sagna wanted to pass it back, but the middle pass line was blocked by Manchester United's offensive players. Sania Ya didn't want to kick his feet, so he had to pass the ball to the goalkeeper Szczesny.

Polish goalkeeper Szczesny is 20 years old and 239 days old this year. His appearance broke the record of Arsenal's youngest Premier League goalkeeper. The professor praised him as the second Yashin, but Szczesny received Sagna's call The return pass went directly to Nani's feet. Nani saw that Rooney had advanced, and immediately went straight.

After Rooney received the ball, he immediately became a one-handed player. Even Li Huan's speed was too late to turn around.

There was a commotion of surprise in the stands, the Red Devils fans had been waiting for Rooney to score, but at this time the linesman's flag was raised, it turned out that Rooney was offside when he received the ball, and the video showed that Rooney was only offside by a shoulder.
