Chapter 417: "Record of Red Devils and Gunners' Enmity and Enmity"

It's often said that time flies by when you're busy.There is nothing wrong with this statement.

While Li Zihan and his teammates were training at the Kearney base with peace of mind, the No.20 six rounds of the league quietly arrived.

In this round, Arsenal will play against their arch-enemy at home - Manchester United.

Speaking of the grievances between Arsenal and Manchester United, historically speaking, there is not much grievance.At most, in the distant [-], Arsenal beat Manchester United to win the FA Cup. This is also the earliest thing that the two sides disliked each other.

On December 1990, [-], a brawl broke out between the two teams.At that time, Wenger had not yet come to England, and this was an ordinary game, but some people believed that the seeds of hatred between the two giants were planted from then on.Andres Ripa scored the only goal of the game, but Arsenal's victory was overshadowed by a clash between Winterburn and Dennis Irvine, with Manchester United striker Brian McClair joining the fray to make the clash The scale is getting bigger and bigger, and almost everyone is in a ball, except for David Seaman.

Then there was the incident of Ian Wright stepping on Schmeichel, and in the [-] FA Cup semi-final, Manchester United defeated Arsenal [-]-[-] in extra time. Giggs scored five consecutive winners in overtime. One goal, and this season Manchester United also won the legendary treble.Then, on February [-], [-], Manchester United humiliated Arsenal [-]-[-]. Arsenal immediately responded. In the second season, they defeated the opponent at Old Trafford and won the championship one round ahead of schedule.

On September 21, [-], Arsenal had a [-]-[-] match against Manchester United, when Van Nistelrooy became the target of public criticism.Although there was no goal, the game was hot enough. Before the end of the game, Vieira kicked Ruud van Nistelrooy, and the Dutchman pretended to fall to the ground, causing Vieira to be sent off.Ruud van Nistelrooy missed a penalty kick in stoppage time, and the game ended immediately. Arsenal general Keown led the gunmen to besiege Ruud van Nistelrooy, cheered and provoked Ruud van Nistelrooy, and counterattacked Ruud van Nistelrooy in the back of the head; Jumping like a monkey in front of him, mocking the performance of the Portuguese; clashes between Parlor and Gary Neville

Two years later, in the 49-10 season, Arsenal had been unbeaten in 24 league games.However, in the Premier League on October 2th, Manchester United defeated Gunners 0-[-] at home. Due to the dispute over the penalty kick made by Rooney in the game, there was a large-scale conflict and conflict in the player channel when the players of both sides left the field after the game. " The "Pizzagate" incident ensued-Fa, who was already a Barcelona player, threw a piece of pizza in Ferguson's face.

The battle between Manchester United coach Ferguson and Arsenal coach Wenger is almost the entire Premier League era, which is also a major theme of the two teams' grievances.Of course, after Ferguson retired last season, this grievance was also resolved, and the two cherished each other. The so-called hero cherishes heroes to describe them best.

Then there is the famous pair of enemies-the "basic love" that Manchester United general Keane and Gunners weapon Vieira have to talk about
Then Manchester United fans humiliated Wenger, and Arsenal were once again beaten by Manchester United. At Old Trafford, Manchester United scored [-] to [-] Arsenal, almost tying the Premier League with the most goals scored in a single game. record.

In the end, the "gun king" Van Persie switched to the Red Devils not long ago.

This shows the grievances between the two teams, so the "unexpected encounter" between Arsenal and Manchester United every season is expected to be hot.

This season is no exception. The fans of the two teams have interacted "friendly" and "cordially" in the stands of the Emirates Stadium before the game started.
In this game, due to injury problems, the Dutchman Van Persie, who was once the "gun king", did not come to the Emirates Stadium he is familiar with with the team, but the black British man who was "kindly" called "Black Bay" by the fans started on the front line Welbeck and Rooney continued to be transformed into the attacking midfielder.

On Arsenal's side, it was natural that all the main players were dispatched, and Li Zihan returned to the starting position.

At the beginning of the game, Arsenal, who were playing at home, launched a fierce attack to express their "friendliness". The boos and abuse directed at Manchester United fans in the stands never stopped.The Red Devils fans who drove to the away game naturally counterattacked, but their numbers were scumbags with only five combat effectiveness in front of the Arsenal crowd at home.
Ozil frequently organized the team's offense through his own passes, and Manchester United's players were not stupid, and immediately blocked several key players of Arsenal.

Arsenal's offense couldn't start the situation, Manchester United didn't dare to be distracted on defense, and the two teams fell into a stalemate.

And when the fans in front of the TV saw that Rooney actually retreated from the center back to the front midfielder, they hesitated that Arsenal could not get the ball even if they took the initiative, so they took the initiative to retreat to get the ball and went to the midfield position.

And when Arsenal's offense was fierce, he immediately returned to his own half to help defend.

From a center forward to a midfielder, then to a midfielder, then to a midfielder, and finally to a defender, watching Rooney's position changes as the game progressed, everyone couldn't help sighing secretly, "Little Fatty is actually quite hardworking."

It's just that for Rooney's usage, Moyes' tactics and coaching philosophy have once again been questioned.Because in everyone's opinion, the former striker has now become a midfield engineer. This is undoubtedly a step backwards for Rooney, and it is also a questionable approach.Because even the fans know that the closer Rooney is to the goal, the greater his threat.

The game lasted until the No. 60 minutes of the game, and the game was always zero to zero at the beginning.Although Arsenal had the upper hand on the scene, they just failed to pry open Manchester United's goal.

Wenger began to make substitution adjustments, and Podolski, who returned from injury, replaced the teenager Chamberlain.Although Chamberlain's performance was excellent, his shooting flaws have not been resolved, so Wenger replaced him with Podolski.In this way, Arsenal's two sides, Podolski and Cazorla, both have a good ability to cut inside and hit the goal.

Strengthening the inward cut on the side is to disperse the opponent's defensive force, so as to share the interference of the opponent in the middle to Li Zihan.

In this short period of time, Arsenal launched several violent attacks on Manchester United's two central defenders.Once the world's No. 32 central defender, Rio Ferdinand is already in his thirties after all, and his partner Vidic is also [-] years old.So Arsenal considered their weaknesses and launched an attack in the middle.Podolski and Flamini frequently came to the middle to help Li Zihan attract the interference of the opponent's central midfielder and midfielder Carrick, so that Li Zihan can get more opportunities.

Although the two have rich experience, they are completely surpassed by Li Zihan in terms of speed and flexibility.It's just that Li Zihan's shot today was a bit unlucky, and was resolved by David De Gea several times, and he hit both goalposts and a crossbar.

Li Zihan couldn't help cursing inwardly, it's clearly Arsenal's goal, but he's helping Manchester United, a typical traitor.
If the goal could speak, it would definitely call for injustice, thinking that he was more injustice than Dou E. "Obviously I just stood here without moving, you insist on shooting at me, and you blame me for being shot while walking!"

When he saw Arsenal keep targeting his two veterans, Moyes also thought it was time for a substitution. After all, when you encounter this kind of opponent who does not "respect the old", you must send the "young" on the field to complete A winning combination.

England's native central defender Smalling, who was born between the [-]s and [-]s, came on the field and replaced Rio Ferdinand, who was too physically exhausted!

Although Moyes has poor results in leading the team, it does not mean that he is stupid.Know your weaknesses and don't correct them.
In fact, Manchester United's central defender partner this season has always been an experienced old man leading a young man, but Ferdinand's partner Phil Jones was injured, and Smalling was not ready to start such an important game, so Only two old central defenders can start first.

Seeing that Manchester United adjusted, Wenger changed again.Podolski went to the center position, and Li Zihan pulled to the wing.Li Zihan's main role is to target the full-back Evra. The speed of the old French full-back can no longer keep up with his youth, so once he attacks, Arsenal seizes the opportunity to counterattack.Relying on Li Zihan's speed, this side is basically wide open.

Evra is also smart. After being counterattacked twice by Li Zihan, he simply didn't go up to assist and just stayed in the backcourt to defend.

It's just that the stalemate between the two sides continued again.

When the game came to No. 80 minutes, Moyes was not willing to accept a draw, because compared to Arsenal, his pressure was actually much greater.

Because he needs a victory to make Manchester United fans "shut up" and let the team advance two places in the standings. At the same time, a victory against a deadly enemy can also ease the club's senior management's doubts about him.

So he used the last two substitutions in one breath, and Valencia, who performed poorly, and central midfielder Carrick were replaced at the same time.Mexican center "Little Pea" Hernandez played alongside Belgian midfielder Fellaini.

In this way, the offensive power of the frontcourt can be increased without weakening one's own defensive power.Fellaini is a midfielder with both offense and defense. He can steal and defend in the midfield and defensive midfielder positions, and once he rushes to the front, he can also play as a high center forward
After Hernandez played, Welbeck went to Valencia's wing, and the center position was given to Mexico.

It's a good thing to have changes, but Moyes' team still hasn't learned the tricks and performances of the Sir Alex era.

Naturally, there is no lore.

In the end, Manchester United tied Arsenal [-]-[-] in the away game. This is not an unacceptable ending for Arsenal.Due to the influence of Liverpool's desperate fight in the last round, many players in this game are no longer in shape, and it is acceptable for Arsenal not to lose.
