Chapter 938 Arsenal

If you want to talk about the most hated team in the Premier League, then Ferguson will definitely choose Liverpool. This is also the reason why Ferguson often said in public that the greatest achievement in his life is not how many championships he has won or how many stars he has trained. He is most proud The only thing is to pull the damned Liverpool from the high throne.

Of course, it's not just Ferguson's perception of Liverpool, but the Liverpool people have the same perception of Manchester and even Ferguson.

However, Liverpool is not the only team that Ferguson hates. On the blacklist of the old Scottish man, Wenger and his Arsenal can definitely be ranked second.

A reporter once asked in an interview if he had a gun with a bullet in it, would he shoot the bullet at Victoria.

As we all know, among the old players in the class of 92, Ferguson undoubtedly loved and had high hopes for Beckham. However, although Beckham performed very well on the court later, he was more distracted. Exposure to the spotlight that has nothing to do with football, Ferguson believed that his wife Victoria had "bred his disciples to the ground". On many occasions, he publicly stated that he hated Victoria extremely. Choosing the latter, the ideas of the two sides embarked on different paths and gradually drifted away. Finally, after the "flying boot door" broke out, Beckham left Manchester.

From this we can see Ferguson's hatred for the "culprit" Spice Girl Victoria, but when the reporter raised this question, Ferguson asked in return: Can you give him two bullets, one for Victoria and one for Arsene Wen Ge - of course, if there is really only one bullet, then he will give the bullet to the French without hesitation.

This is enough to prove that on Ferguson's blacklist, Wenger's ranking is higher than Victoria.

After Liverpool gradually faded away, although Manchester United was the team with the most championships in the Premier League and was known as the recognized Premier League hegemony, but for a long time after entering the new century, Manchester United was not alone in the Premier League. Arsenal is the only team that can rival Manchester United.

As a traditional giant team in England, Arsenal has a long history and rich background. So far, they have won 13 top league championships, 10 FA Cup championships and 2 League Cup championships. In terms of achievements, there is also a European Cup Winners Cup trophy in the honor room.

This veteran giants in North London is the first team in the history of English football to complete the "three consecutive league championships". Sir Herbert Chapman created the Arsenal's first glory, and in the following years Although there are slight ups and downs, Arsenal's performance has always been excellent and they have always stood among the strong teams. At the same time, they are also the only team in the history of English football that has not experienced relegation from the top league.

Charlie George, George Armstrong, Ian Wright, Michael Thomas... All of these names were well-known in European football at the time. After Arsene Wenger took charge of Highbury, Arsenal began to really take off, and the tactics of the London team began to change. From a rough and tough hardcore team, it gradually became a beautiful style. Beautiful, offensive like quicksilver technical team, in front of the entire top league is full of simple, direct and rough style, Arsenal's delicate and smooth technical style has become the most unique and beautiful landscape in the Premier League, which has captured a large number of players for them. loyal fans.

During this period, Arsenal not only played beautifully and wonderfully, but also did not lose a cent in terms of honor. Wenger's second year at Highbury was also the first full season of the Frenchman's coaching. And the double champion of the FA Cup, the second time in the club's history to achieve a double crown.

However, Manchester United was indeed very strong at the time, and then Arsenal fell into a dormant period. Although they were runner-up in the league for three consecutive seasons, they did not win any championships.However, in the 2001-2002 season, Arsenal made a comeback again. In this season, Arsenal first defeated Chelsea 2-0 in the FA Cup to rule the roost, and then defeated Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford in the league. League champions-Arsenal once again completed the feat of the double crown in Manchester's territory.

Not only that, this season in the league, Arsenal also set an unprecedented record of 13 consecutive victories in the Premier League, and remained unbeaten away games throughout the season-this is enough to show that during the heyday of the Red Devils, Arsenal became The only team that can compete with Manchester United.

In the following season, although Arsenal were eventually reversed by Manchester United and lost the championship in the league, they successfully defended the FA Cup.

When the time enters the 03-04 season, this is destined to belong to the Gunners' peak season, and it is also a crazy season remembered by Gunners fans all over the world. Throughout the season, Arsenal made great strides and set a record of 14 consecutive games in the Premier League. What is even more surprising is that Arsenal have been undefeated throughout the season and lifted the league title with an undefeated record. Arsenal created their peak era, and in the end, the undefeated record was fixed at 49 games.

Fourteen consecutive victories, 49 unbeaten games, unbeaten league championship, this has become a milestone in the Premier League, and it also symbolizes the glory that belongs to Arsenal. It stands there, waiting for a new team to surpass , It is also for the latecomers to worship!
It is worth mentioning that although Manchester United failed to stop Arsenal's progress when Arsenal won the championship with an unbeaten record, Arsenal's unbeaten record was eventually buried in the hands of Ferguson and Manchester United-October 04 Manchester United defeated Arsenal 10-2 at home, ending the opponent's unbeaten record.

In the heyday of Manchester United, Wenger and his team acted as spoilers. That era undoubtedly belonged to Manchester United, but when people mentioned Manchester United, they still unconsciously mentioned Arsenal, because at that time, Arsenal It is a team that does not belong to the Red Devils at all-it can be said that Arsenal lost half of the glory that should have belonged to Manchester United.

While the Gunners were in their heyday, Manchester United ended their unbeaten record. For Arsenal, this is also the "hate" that they "remember" until now.

Ferguson's toughness, Arsene Wenger's elegance, Manchester United's violence, Arsenal's smooth flow... In that era, these two teams competed against each other and led the trend of the Premier League together.

From the team, to the coaches, to the stars in the lineups of both sides...Manchester United and Arsenal are the same. Divide the world.

The fight has been going on for a long time, maybe the team and the team, the coach and the coach also have feelings of sympathy, but if there is a choice to be made, just like what Ferguson expressed, he will still give the bullet to Wenger , Let Arsenal fall apart.

The time has come to the end of 2010, and the current Premier League is no longer the two-point structure between Manchester United and Arsenal. With the huge injection of funds from the Russian Abramovich, Chelsea has risen, and Manchester City has also begun to take off. Spurs and Liverpool are also watching behind them. The Premier League has entered the era of melee. Manchester United is still strong, but Arsenal has gone downhill after Henry, Vieira, Cesc Fabregas and other important stars have left.

Time is like running water, and it will never be the same again, but every confrontation between Manchester United and Arsenal is still a blockbuster matchup that attracts the whole of Europe.

And everything is like a reincarnation. Arsenal created a 49-match unbeaten myth, and the record finally ended in the hands of Manchester United. The [-]-match winning streak created by Arsenal was also tied by Manchester United. Manchester United is about to set a new record. At that time, they encountered Arsenal again. Whether it was new or old grievances, or to defend their own glory, Arsenal was bound to go all out to stop Manchester United from advancing.

……

There is no rattling of swords, no jaw-dropping confrontation in the air. With the departure of Keane and Vieira, the two biggest powder kegs in their respective teams, the two teams have seldom made public in the media in recent years. It's a war of words.

Perhaps the reason for this is also the gradual decline of Arsenal in recent years. When it is difficult to launch an impact on the league championship, what Arsenal needs to do is to lie dormant, slowly recover and strengthen their strength, instead of fighting meaningless words .

However, before the upcoming duel between the Gunners and the Red Devils, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger was still being interviewed by the news media.

When facing the camera, he affirmed Manchester United's performance in the league and in Europe this season: "For them, this is a crazy and perfect season. Although the time has only passed halfway, but with the strong momentum they have shown. Look, maybe the league title won't be too much of a suspense. It's unfortunate for a lot of teams with big ambitions, but it's what it is, they're doing a great job, so they can get everything."

"It's not the old days, there are things like that that make football more competitive now. Yes, I remember the league winning streak being held by us, but now Ferguson and his team are against us. In the same place, they are very strong. This season, they are the strongest in my impression. They have many outstanding players, top players who can influence or even change the entire battle situation, and an excellent tactical system... All in all, this is the best Manchester United team."

"But it doesn't mean they can always win. They are very strong, but we will go all out, not for the so-called grievances, nor just to defend our glory. In fact, this is very important, but More importantly, we are Arsenal, we have the same good players, we are full of hope and anticipation for every game, and we are chasing to win."

"So, see you on the field. No one can predict how it will turn out, but we will do everything we can."

Wenger's speech was not too gunpowder-like, but no matter what was going on in his heart, the hidden meaning was obvious. Manchester United wanted to continue to win and set a new winning streak, but he and his team The team will not regress easily!
