Chapter 724 The Gunner Myth "You can only compete for the fourth place"

(first update, today's fourth update)

Every confrontation between Manchester United and Arsenal can produce the effect of sparks hitting the earth, just like the World War in La Liga and the Milan Derby in Serie A, all kinds of media often start to build momentum two weeks before the start of the game, full of gunpowder on and off the field and hostility.Even if the top level of the Football Association is committed to the mediation work that the two sides can reach a settlement and reduce grievances, it will not help.

All Arsenal fans and Manchester United fans regard their opponents as their biggest and eternal enemies. The Gunners tampered with Manchester United's famous team song to make fun of their opponents. The Red Devils burned each other's team flags at rallies. The standard action of the opponent's "plane crash" was chilling, and Manchester United fans satirized Arsenal as a baby who had never won the Champions League.

Every time the two teams clashed, the local police and staff were on the verge of a formidable enemy, but the bloodshed was still unavoidable. The fan bus with the club logo painted on it was instantly scarred, and the fans who squeezed and cursed each other threw foreign objects and fireworks.Damaged team flags or souvenirs bring good business to the surrounding specialty stores.

The hatred of Arsenal fans mainly stems from the dissatisfaction and jealousy of Manchester United's dominance. This kind of hatred is very different from Chelsea and Tottenham in the same city.The rise of Chelsea can pose a certain threat to Arsenal, but whether it is in terms of the number of championships or the influence among fans, Chelsea is still unable to compare with Arsenal. In fact, when Mourinho did not leave, Stamford Bridge Stadium The attendance rate is far lower than that of Arsenal, and even worse than Tottenham. This is also an important reason why Abramovich is determined to fire Mourinho.However, Manchester United's overall lead in all fields made Arsenal unconvinced but had to bow their heads.

After the UEFA Champions League group draw ceremony in Monte Carlo, the war of words between Arsenal and Manchester United has escalated in an all-round way. It has changed from a drizzle to a torrential river. From newspapers to TV, from coaches to players, from reality to the Internet, the whole There is talk everywhere in the British Isles about the battle between Manchester United and Arsenal.

At the beginning of this season, Arsenal met three not weak teams in the league and the Champions League. The result was 4 games, 4 victories, and 16 goals. The Gunners averaged 4 goals per game. The offensive power beats the opponent lightly, becoming the team with the most powerful offensive power in the entire Premier League.

And Manchester United lost C.After Ronaldo, their performance was very unstable. They narrowly beat their opponents 1-0 in Birmingham, lost to Burnley 0-1 in retrospect, and then slaughtered Wigan mercilessly 5-0.Undoubtedly, Manchester United still has great strength, but instability is their biggest weakness. Wenger will naturally not give up attacking this. And Wenger believes that not only he wants to do this, but also Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City, who have been crazy about expanding their troops in the summer.

When he was a guest on Sky Sports TV, Professor Wenger once again uncovered the scars of Manchester United and mentioned Ronaldo's transfer, although it seemed that he was offering some advice to his old friend Ferguson and telling the old Scottish man about his experience.

"He scored 2 goals in the last two seasons and I'm sure no one, not even the pundits, knows what losing Ronaldo will do to United's results, it will take time to get used to, but In our case (when we lost Henry), we had a guy, Bam Adebayor, who scored 68 goals that season. We also had some players who gained some charisma, like Hleb, but We still didn’t have a good season that season.”

"Sir Ferguson will find a new balance in the team, Rooney will score 20 goals or Berbatten will score 20 goals? It could happen. But I still think Manchester United will still miss Ronaldo. Like we often Thinking of Henry, he was so important in the team. No one could refuse to not give Henry the ball, it took us a long time to make this change, I think Manchester United may also need a transition period."

Wenger told his old friend Ferguson in a tone of experience, it seems like a good suggestion, but in fact he is implying that the unstable situation of Manchester United this season will last for a while, and even lose the possibility of winning the championship .

Ferguson has always been aggressive in the war of words before the game, and this time is no exception. When he was interviewed, he unceremoniously attacked Arsenal and Manchester City at the same time, and asserted that they would not have the hope of winning the championship.

"Apart from us (Manchester United), there are only Liverpool and Chelsea who are threatening. The other teams do not have the strength to compete for the championship. For these three teams, I think our advantage is that we have more championship experience, although Manchester City spent a lot. money, but they still won't be in the championship ranks, Chelsea changed their head coach, and their momentum is very strong from the pre-season warm-up match. Although Liverpool left Alonso, they still refer to a difficult team. Seeing that Arsenal bought the World Footballer of the Year, the current state is also very strong, but the momentum of the young people will not last a season. They will still only continue to compete with Tottenham and Manchester City for the fourth place in the league.

After satirizing his old rival Wenger, Ferguson responded to Wenger's c.Ronaldo's comments, "Ronaldo's departure from the team really lacks an excellent player for us, but I think another superstar will be born. It is really difficult to find someone who can replace Ronaldo, but we will not give up our efforts. The most important thing is that you don't get too nervous when a star leaves, because the club can continue to create excellent players. Back then we thought we missed Shearer, which seemed like a big mistake we made, but we signed Without Cantona, he made us more successful. Ronaldo is a good player, but he has already joined Real Madrid and we will move on. Of course we will miss him, but I believe that we have someone in the team who can replace him."

At the end of the final interview, Ferguson did not forget to hit Wenger's most proud of the cultivation of the youth army. Ferguson said: "We have many young players, which is very encouraging. Kiko and Welbeck are in Both participated in the national team competition this week, which is very beneficial to their growth. Nani and Anderson are only 21 and 22 years old, but they already have a lot of experience in major competitions, which is very good for players of this age. Old Trafford gives these young players a platform for them to grow better here. But I don't expect to use these people to win the league championship, they are just children, such a task is too heavy for them, so Giger Stanley, Scholes, Neville and others are still playing an important role."

Wenger quickly responded in the media, saying: "I understand that the most stable team will win the championship, thank God, we are stable now, no matter what kind of opponent we face, whether it is the league or the Champions League, The wins and the goals are steady. We are mentally and physically ready to play like this, and I believe we will win the championship in the end. And I want to remind my old friends that the Premier League has changed, whether it is us , or Manchester City, or Chelsea, or Manchester United, it's not the same team as last season."

When the war was about to start, no one was willing to admit defeat even verbally. Ferguson quickly refuted Wenger's statement. The old jazz said mercilessly: "I listen to what the professor said. I have said it many times. Three years ago, I always said that if Manchester United could not win the championship, I would most like Arsenal to win the championship, but now the Gunners still have not won a League Cup trophy. The Premier League may have changed, but There are also many things that remain unchanged, such as me and the professor, such as the ranking of the league."

In terms of bickering, Wenger has never been very social with people. He only likes to study games and tactics in his office and home. Wenger is not Ferguson's opponent. He is not as arrogant and domineering as Ferguson. Li Huan, who has just broken into the Premier League, is by no means a forgiving stubble. Whether it is based on "disciples who have something to do", or because he does not want the team's sharp morale of four games and four wins to be suppressed because of the war of words before the game, Li Huan is in the game. When the two famous coaches had a verbal confrontation, they brazenly joined the battle circle.

This is Li Huan’s interview with Arsenal’s official website after training. In the interview, what Li Huan said was more aggressive than Sir Alex Ferguson, even a little arrogant, “Several years ago, Coach Mourinho said such a sentence, he Saying, "Maybe when I'm 60 years old and I've coached in this league for 20 years, I'll have everyone's respect and the power to blow the shit out of people with every word. "Honestly speaking, Manchester United can often win a game that they shouldn't win. Although this is also a strength. So I think that since I have made a profit, there is no need for Sir Jazz to preach to Arsenal in such a domineering manner. I dare not say that Arsenal Nathan will definitely win the league at the end of the season, but we will definitely finish above Manchester United."

Li Huan's speech immediately caused an uproar. Sir Alex Ferguson was furious and denounced Li Huan's nonsense. He retorted that even if he took [-] steps back, what Li Huan said was true. Could it be that Manchester United also stole the three Champions League titles?

Veteran Giggs said sullenly: "Young people don't know the importance of what they say. Professor Wenger has also coached in the Premier League for more than ten years. Doesn't the professor have the power of Sir Alex Ferguson? Why does Mourinho's Chelsea Can win the championship, but Arsenal can't do it. If you don't have this strength, don't talk nonsense."
