Chapter 287 Surviving a Catastrophe Must Have a Future Blessing?
In October 1986, Manchester United ushered in the greatest coach in their history, Alex Ferguson, and Manchester United ushered in its second glory.

In October 1996, 10 years after Ferguson took charge of Manchester United, Arsenal ushered in their new commander. Frenchman Arsène Wenger became the fourth head coach Ferguson played against.

From then on, this pair of good friends began a 17-year confrontation!

A reporter once asked Ferguson, if there was only one bullet, would Ferguson shoot Beckham's wife Victoria or Wenger? Ferguson's answer was can you give me two bullets!

Although this is just a joke, we can also learn from the side how fierce the confrontation between Manchester United and Arsenal has been over the years.

Now that Ferguson is retiring, this is likely (the FA Cup still has a chance) Wenger will challenge the Premier League's biggest old rival for the last time at Old Trafford.

Before the start of the game, Wenger gave Ferguson a gift in his own name. It was a collection of Ferguson's celebrations after winning the game at Manchester United for so many years. Of course, all the celebrations during the game against Arsenal were not included.

Before they knew it, two good friends who loved each other and wanted to kill each other ushered in their final season of competition, which was destined to become a good story in international football.

"Wenger gave Ferguson a gift. Although it is unbelievable, it happened in front of us. Although the atmosphere before the game was good, I think it will be completely different after the game starts.

The game is about to start, let's take a look at the starters of both sides in this game.

At home Manchester United is a classic 442 formation today, with De Gea as the goalkeeper; Evra on the left at the back, Ferdinand and Evans in the middle, and Raphael guarding on the right; Cleverley on the left in the midfield is back in the starting lineup, Lin Yi and Carrick are in the middle, and Valencia is on the right; Rooney and Van Persie, the two top scorers on the striker list, are the strongest combination that is expected.

The visiting team Arsenal's lineup today is relatively inferior. The lineup of 4231 shows that Wenger is quite afraid of Manchester United's lineup.The goalkeeper is Italian Mannone; the back line from left to right is Santos, Vermaelen, Mertesacker and Sagna; Altat and Wilshere are paired as a double midfielder; the German Podolski is on the left, Ramsey is in the middle, and Walcott is on the right; single forward Giroud is at the front.

The importance of this game is self-evident, of course, for Chinese players, we will always put Lin Yi's outstanding performance as the top priority..."

In the first minute of the game, Lin Yi suddenly inserted into the penalty area, and then Valencia passed the ball and Lin Yi volleyed vigorously.If Mannone hadn't thrown the football sideways, maybe Arsenal would have fallen behind in less than a minute.

The commentators of Sky TV were speechless in the face of this shot. They hadn't finished reading the starting rosters of both sides.Just now they also said that Lin Yi and Manchester United could not maintain such a good state against Chelsea for a long time, and it turned out...the slap in the face was so fast.

"Beautiful, beautiful. Lin Yi completed the first shot of the game in 40 seconds. Lin Yi looked very excited today. It may be that his two teammates in the trident scored 9 goals, while Lin Yi himself only scored 8 goals. This will somewhat stimulate Lin Yi. It is said that there is some small bet between the three of them. Of course, Lin Yi is not a pure shooter, which also has a certain impact on his own goals..."

In the last round of the league, Huang Jianxiang's voice was hoarse. For today's game, he didn't speak loudly for almost a week. He didn't want to miss any of Ji Dong's games.As a good friend of Lin Yi, Huang Jianxiang pays special attention to the British media's reports on Lin Yi. Recently, the risk is a bit wrong, so as long as Lin Yi has a wonderful performance in the game, he will desperately praise him.

Just after Ji Dong used a volley to demonstrate to Arsenal, Arsenal quickly returned.In the 5th minute, after Podolski received Walcott's cross, he nodded the ball in front of and behind the goal, but it was a pity that it missed slightly, and the Arsenal fans let out a sigh of pity.

One person who needs to be careful in this game is Walcott. His speed is too fast. If Arsenal seize the opportunity to fight back, few people in the Manchester United team can stop the little tiger running at full speed. Therefore, one of the characters Ferguson arranged for Lin Yi is to worry about the tiger coming out of the cage. Even the little tiger must be careful.

Therefore, Ferguson asked the back line not to press too hard, not to allow both sides to insert assists at the same time, and not to cause offside.For this reason, he did not let Nani and Anderson start, but let Valencia, who has a more stable defense, serve as the starting right winger.The Ecuadorian's offensive ability is far worse than the first two, but he is very active in defense and obedient.

The main reason why Cleverley replaced Ryan Giggs in the starting line-up was that the speed of the old demon could not keep up with the little tiger. The young Cleverley undoubtedly had a better chance of containing the little tiger Walcott.

After each side had a threatening attack, the confrontational atmosphere of the game was immediately revealed.

The re-confrontation between Ferguson and Wenger attracted the attention of the whole world, and the reporters from all walks of life on the sidelines also pointed their cameras at the bench beside the court from time to time.After the game started, the two head coaches sat in their coaches' benches and did not come out to direct the game, nor did they have any direct dialogue.Under the camera, Ferguson is chewing gum quickly, and Wenger is playing with his jacket zipper in boredom.Fans who have watched the Premier League all year round know that this is the most common way for the two coaches to decompress, so the two veteran coaches were very nervous at the beginning of the game.

Ferguson wanted three points and a new record, Wenger couldn't wait to beat each other, and there was absolutely no camaraderie between the two sides after the game started.

In the 9th minute, Lin Yi instigated an offensive in the midfield, and Carrick cut off Artat's pass and passed it to Lin Yi immediately.Just as Ji Dong turned around, Wilshere pounced on him.In the blink of an eye, Lin Yi pulled and dunked the ball and let the opponent miss it. His unrecovered foot stabbed heavily on the football. Lin Yi turned around and went around Wilshere to chase the football again.

"Jin Yi, the beautiful man scored the ball, and Lin Yi broke through Wilshere's defense with consecutive stops."

Huang Jianxiang shouted excitedly again, he really wished he was at Old Trafford at this time, it must be the most wonderful commentary atmosphere.

Ji Dong quickly accelerated after breaking through Wilshere. Arsenal were attacking just now, so their defenders were not in the penalty area. The sudden offensive and defensive transition made them a little flustered, but after all, they were players trained by Wenger.Seeing Ji Dong in the middle, the two full-backs quickly retreated to the penalty area, and the two central defenders went up to grab Ji Dong at the same time.

Vermaelen is also experienced. He didn't rush to steal, but blocked Ji Dong's forward position. He wanted to force Ji Dong to slow down, or let him be on the sideline in front of him, so his role as Mertesacker has a high probability of succeeding in stealing.He knew that Ji Dong's characteristic was speed, as long as he could slow him down, it meant his defense was successful.

However, Ji Dong was not fighting alone. Ji Dong didn't get entangled with Vermaelen. He just pushed the ball and distributed the football to Ryan Giggs who followed up from the left.Then Jiong easily ran past Vermaelen without the ball, and Mertesacker had already gone after Giggs.

Vermaelen knew who the most dangerous person in the opponent's team was, so he followed Ji Dong closely, and he couldn't relax even if he didn't have the ball, especially when he was about to enter the penalty area.

Wenger asked Vermaelen to defend Ji Dong because Vermaelen is the most reliable defender in the Arsenal team.According to Viger's request, as long as Ji Dong entered the penalty area, Vermaelen's first priority was to keep an eye on Ji Dong, and the rest of the team would fill in the gaps left by Vermaelen.

But just now when the two of them met each other, Ji Dong used a human ball to throw Vermaelen away. This was undoubtedly a humiliation to Vermaelen, who was full of pride in his youthful fame, so he decided to make more aggressive moves next.

When Giggs dribbled the ball to the left corner of the penalty area, he pretended to break through and passed the football across to Ji Dong. At this moment, Vermaelen rammed him from the side. This kind of physical contact is normal in the Premier League. Vermaelen hoped to use such a collision to make Lin Yi lose control of the football, but it was obvious that he failed, or he lacked a real understanding of Lin Yi. There are many things that cannot be seen just by watching the game video.

Ji Dong's body shook slightly after being hit, but his feet were still standing firmly on the grass, waiting for the ball to come, without even shaking.

The Belgian international was a little surprised. He didn't understand why the active collision with such a strong body didn't work.However, his reaction was quick. Seeing that his collision was unsuccessful, he immediately stretched out his hand and grabbed Ji Dong's clothes.

Seeing Ji Dong's jersey being pulled and deformed violently, the referee's whistle sounded.This was originally a good opportunity, Van Persie and Rooney both had passing routes, and Ji Dong also had enough confidence to get rid of Vermaelen's entanglement.

Ji Dong turned to face the referee and waved his hands in dissatisfaction, "Can you whistle a little slower, sir!"

Ji Dong was very dissatisfied with this penalty. If he was pulled to you, you were correct. Before that, Manchester United was still on the offensive side. This clearly ruined our offensive opportunity.

The referee ignored Lin Yi, he insisted on his penalty, this foul was obvious, he just penalized according to the regulations, no one can say that this is wrong.

Ferguson on the sidelines was furious, don't you understand the principle of offensive advantage?He walked quickly to the fourth official to complain about the umpire's amateurishness.

"What does the referee committee do? Is your annual training just to travel?"

Everyone in the Premier League knows about Ferguson's violent temper, so the fourth official's complaints about Sir Alex's level were ignored.Of course, if a head coach at the level of Mark Hughes dared to say this, the fourth official would promise to make a small report to the referee, and maybe he would write malicious attacks on the referee committee in the game report.

Wenger was very happy. He knew how dangerous the ball was. Although the Arsenal players were not slow to return to defense, slower counterattacks were faster, and Manchester United had already formed an attacking posture. As long as the last pass should be able to shoot, and Lin Yi was about to get the ball. Thinking about Lin Yi's 17 league assists, he couldn't imagine that Lin Yi could not pass well-known assists.

Foul is the best result, Vermaelen's handling is very correct, even if this set kick Manchester United scored, from a tactical point of view, that is the correct defense.Vermaelen was exactly the defensive barrier Wenger wanted.

This free kick was taken by Giggs. After observing the angle, the old demon felt that he could try to shoot directly.Giggs raised the thumb of his left hand high, and he secretly told his teammates that he was going to fight directly, and he chose the back point, and the second attack should pay attention to the back point to grab the point.

"Giggs, the Welsh veteran is affectionately called Lao Yao by the Chinese fans. How would he choose this free kick? Run up, shoot, oops, hit the crossbar, and... Vidic's header, unfortunately, Vidic beat Mertesacker, but unfortunately his header missed the goal.

In the 14th minute, Manchester United missed an excellent opportunity.Of course, if this foul is not blown, Manchester United may have a better chance than this, but in any case, Manchester United completed a high-quality offense. "

Arsenal survived the catastrophe, but there must be future blessings?
