Chapter 102 Fighting the Bayonet
Talking about the confrontation between Arsenal and Manchester United, the first thing that comes to mind is the fight between Ferguson and Wenger.
The two have been in love with each other in the Premier League for 17 years, from the most difficult opponent to the friend who understands them the best step by step.
When Wenger first arrived in England, Ferguson asked contemptuously, "Who is Wenger?"
And Wenger will also laugh at himself 'Arsena. Who? '
Perhaps Ferguson did not expect that this gentle young man would become his lifelong enemy.
After Arsene Wenger finished building Arsenal, both the Gunners and Manchester United were red hot for the championship every year. The 03-04 season had just begun, and the two teams who had been grumbling for a long time almost staged a gang fight at Old Trafford.
Afterwards, the war of words between Wenger and Ferguson gradually escalated. The two scolded each other for a whole season. However, this season Arsenal won the championship unbeaten and wrote history.
When Arsenal went unbeaten for 49 games in a row, they encountered the old Sir Manchester United, and the old Sir naturally would not allow Wenger to go wild on his head. Manchester United defeated Arsenal 2:0 to end the Gunners' 49-game unbeaten run.
The Pizzagate incident in the player tunnel after the game caused an uproar.
However, in the following years, the Blues and Manchester City all rose up, and the battle between Manchester United and Arsenal gradually lost the kind of tension that they used to be, until that 8:2 game became a permanent pain for gun fans.
Ferguson thought that the old buddy he was once was no longer looking for him.
But in his final season, this guy is still giving him trouble.
But he is not afraid of any challenge!
He is the King of the Red Devils, Alex Ferguson!
Inside the Carrington training base, Ferguson walked out of the office and came to the door.
The players were already on the bus, and Ferguson got on the bus and waved his hand.
"Go! Let's go to Old Trafford to beat our opponents!"
On the other side, in a hotel in Manchester City.
Wenger stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself reflected in the mirror.
He erected the collar of his shirt, pulled out a red tie from one side, and knotted it slowly.
His movements were slow and his expression extremely calm.
Finally, he put down his collar, patted his suit, turned and walked out of the room.
On the first floor of the hotel, the gunmen have gathered here.
They stared straight at the hotel elevator.
Ding Dong!
The elevator door opened slowly and Wenger came out.
Wenger stepped out of the elevator and stopped.
glanced and looked at everyone seriously.
Finally he took a deep breath and said loudly:
"Let's go! Guys! Let's take Old Trafford!"
Hearing the words, the eyes of the gunmen were filled with hot flames.
They stood up suddenly, followed Wenger's footsteps one by one, stepped into the bus, and headed to their battlefield.
"This is the Sky Sports Premiership live room, I'm Andy Gray."
"Richard Coyce!"
Andy Gray said loudly: "Wow! It's finally here, Manchester United vs Arsenal, this is a direct matchup for the Premier League championship! Richard, who do you support?"
Richard Coyce shrugged: "If it was Paul Mawson, he would definitely support Arsenal!"
Immediately, the two laughed out loud.
Everyone knows that Paul Mawson was born in Arsenal.
"No kidding, both teams are so charismatic, it's really hard for me to make a choice."
"I like the Red Devils' iron-blooded play and the beautiful football of the Gunners. Of course, the Gunners have changed a lot now. Wenger has given the soul to this team again!"
Andy Gray nodded: "From the collapse at the beginning of the season to the title race at the end of the season, Arsenal's performance this season can be described as a roller coaster, they may lose any game, but they can also win Manchester United. Strong team. In the last round of the contest, Arsenal defeated Manchester United 2:1 at home, and now they have switched positions, whether Manchester United can hold the honor at home or the Gunners pull the trigger and kill with one hit , we can wait and see!"
At the same time, the camera has been given to the pitch.
Ferguson and Wenger walked out of the player tunnel together, but the two did not have any intersection. After walking out of the player tunnel, they turned their heads and left.
Chewing gum Ferguson.
Frowning, he put his arms around Wenger's chest.
The expressions of both of them are extremely calm, but everyone can feel that this calm is a fiery heart.
This is the Red Devils vs. Gunners!
Ten years ago, this was the biggest highlight of the Premier League.
And with the fall of the gunman, this highlight also lost its original luster.
Especially after last season's 8-2 slaughter.
Many people feel that Arsenal is no longer a rival to Manchester United.
But after just one season, Arsenal not only won Manchester United at home, but also chased the score frantically at the end of the season, becoming Manchester United's biggest competitor on the road to winning the championship!
And under this trend, the drama of the Red Devils vs. the Gunners was staged again!
The Premier League seems to have returned to the tense and exciting atmosphere of the final battle ten years ago.
The camera switches to the player channel, and you can see the players from the two teams come out one after another.
They stood calmly on both sides of the wall without any communication.
Silent tension is spreading to every corner.
Lekai came a little late, by this time the two teams had already completed their lineup.
He did not go directly to his position, but from the last position, he started shaking hands one by one to encourage him.
"Look at you, Louis!"
"Look for opportunities to push forward more!"
"Pay attention to the location!"
Lekai high-fived with each teammate, and finally came to Sarnia at the front.
"Stabilize your mind, you are the captain of the field, you can't mess up."
Sania nodded and said, "Don't worry."
Le Kai then nodded and clapped his hands; "Guys! Pay attention, the game is about to start!"
After finished speaking, Lucky returned to his position and stood still.
Along the way, not only the Arsenal players were watching Luckey, but also the Manchester United players.
Rooney stared at Lucky.
In the last round, Le Kai gave him a very deep impression.
also caused them a lot of trouble.
And after half a season of training, this guy has clearly made more progress.
is getting harder and harder to deal with!
Van Persie also looked at the Arsenal players with complicated expressions.
He was one of them last season.
But now, he has voted otherwise.
And his departure has ushered in a new rebirth of Arsenal.
This change made Van Persie extremely uncomfortable.
Not long after , the referee in front had already started to move forward.
The hearts of everyone are lingering.
The game is about to start!
"Van Persie, do you still have this foot?? Ah~~~~ Koscielny completed the block! Manchester United failed to expand the score!"
Two minutes later!
"Cazorla passed the ball, Suarez pushed it! De Gea!! Saved!"
A dangerous attack by Arsenal was defused by Manchester United.
This also made the Manchester United fans on the scene breathed a sigh of relief.
Arsenal away fans hugged their heads in annoyance.
And those Manchester United fans clutched their chests and took a long breath.
The first half, 27 minutes.
At this point, the score between the two sides is 1:1.
In 3 minutes, Manchester United relied on Van Persie's mobility to catch Arsenal by surprise and complete the goal.
But just 4 minutes later, Arsenal did the same thing.
Cazorla, Podolski, Suarez and Arteta's quick pass and cut cooperation in the frontcourt captured Manchester United's goal.
Since then, both sides seem to be fighting chicken blood.
Crazy counterattack!
As soon as Manchester United's attack ended, Arsenal rushed forward.
There is a feeling of 'you sing and I will appear'.
In 27 minutes, the two teams contributed a total of 23 shots, with an average of one shot per minute. The rhythm was astonishing.
Not just in terms of offense, the physical confrontation between the two teams is also extremely fierce.
The first half has not ended, and seven yellow cards have appeared.
Manchester United's Phil Jones, Rafael, Van Persie and Evans received yellow cards.
On Arsenal's side, Walcott, Sagna and Arteta received yellow cards.
The players on the field compete fiercely.
The two head coaches were not idle either.
Ferguson and Wenger stood in the middle of the coaching benches of the two teams, madly fighting each other.
Every time a foul is committed, the two will immediately rush to the fourth official to put pressure on them.
After finishing the pressure, come back and continue arguing!
The old jazz blushed with anger, and nearly grabbed Wenger's tie and gave him a shoulder-to-shoulder fall.
Wenger is also unrepentant, with no graceful posture at all, and the spittle stars are flying all over the sky.
The fierce struggle between the two coaches and players from the two teams also affected everyone on the scene.
Especially at the junction of the fans of the two teams, a fight almost broke out several times.
Thanks to the rapid replenishment of the supporting police force, the riot was suppressed.
But at this time, Old Trafford has become a powder keg!
Lucky is running constantly to block.
To be honest, the rhythm is a little too fast, and some of the fast ones can't stop the car.
It's not that Lucky didn't think about slowing down the rhythm, but he couldn't do it at all.
The two teams seem to have completed the start, running at full speed with supercars without brakes.
Lucky alone couldn't calm them down.
Even, he was driven by this atmosphere to constantly speed up the rhythm.
This is driven by the atmosphere of the scene!
This is the pressure of the competition!
30 minutes, intense pressure, exhausted physical strength, and fierce confrontation are all challenging the players' physical limits.
But they still persisted!
Do your best in every confrontation!
Every attack is filled with the smell of gunpowder!
This is the Premier League title race!
This is the Red Devils vs. Gunners!
Lucky understands a little!
He can't hold back the rhythm!
Simply integrate into it wholeheartedly!
If you want to fight bayonet, then come!
Who is afraid of who!
