Explosive shooting at full level at the beginning, the arrival of the British Emperor Star

1 month 21 day.

The Emirates Stadium was packed.

Half an hour before the game, Arsenal players went to the pitch for the last time to warm up.

Seeing their players entering the stadium, the nearly [-] Arsenal fans present immediately burst into cheers.

Before the game, Wenger and Ferguson had another exchange of words.

Ferguson said he was surprised that Arsenal could achieve the current ranking this season, but he changed the topic and believed that Wenger's behavior of giving up the League Cup was inappropriate. Since Arsenal has the ability, they should strive for championships in all competitions.

Sir Alex Ferguson said that if Arsenal does not win a championship in the league and championship, it will be a failed season for the team.

Wenger said calmly: "If we fail to enter the Champions League next season, it will be a devastating blow to the team. Our situation is different, and I don't expect him to understand."

"Our current situation determines that we cannot play all the games with one lineup, and our rotation players are also worthy of trust."

"At this stage of the season, I still have options. I think it's something to be proud of."

Since Ferguson questioned Arsenal's selective abandonment of domestic cup competitions, Wenger turned around and disgusted the opponent.

Many media believe that if Arsenal can continue to remain unbeaten in this game, they will officially enter the championship competition this season.

This season, apart from being at a disadvantage against the Manchester duo, Arsenal has effectively controlled the situation against other teams.

If they pass Manchester United, their only rival for the title this season will be Manchester City.

As we all know, when competing for the championship, the most fearful thing is losing to the main competitor.

Usually, whether a team can win and whether a competitor can win are two different things.

But when encountering a championship opponent, these two things were put together at once, which equaled a 6-point battle.

Losing to a direct opponent will be a huge blow to the team's morale.

Arsenal only won three league championships in the era of competition between the two heroes, because they always lost to Manchester United in key games, and the team failed to recover.

Although Arsenal is currently full of injured soldiers, the club also announced an exciting news before the game.

Arsenal announced its financial report for the first half of the season. The club's after-tax profit in the first half of the season was 4800 million pounds, nearly 400 million pounds more than the same period last season.

This means that Arsenal does not need to worry about repaying the loan this year.

According to Arsenal's current situation, they need to make a profit of 3500 million pounds per season to repay the annual loan.

In the financial report, Arsenal's cost of acquiring players exceeded the cost of selling players for the first time.

In other words, even if Arsenal did not make a profit from buying and selling players, which was the bulk of profits in previous years, their profits in the first half of the season still exceeded the same period last season.

The financial report shows that Arsenal still has hundreds of millions in reserves in its bank account, and the team's finances are in a stage of healthy development.

The first reason why we need to reserve so much money is because there is still nearly [-] million pounds in loans to build the Emirates Stadium, not including interest.

In addition, some clubs collect season ticket money at the beginning of the season, and the remaining money is equivalent to the membership service fee.

For example, every game includes a free beer, a snack, and season ticket membership activities.

These may seem like a small amount of money, but they can’t support the large number of people.

If the current operating situation can be maintained for a few more years, Wenger can then spend money on the transfer market and introduce big-name players.

In fact, after 2013 in the previous life, Arsenal did increase investment in the transfer market.

But by that time, Arsenal had become a team that had not won the league championship in ten years, and its influence was greatly reduced. Many players no longer considered Arsenal.

Sun Ke saw in the financial report that the former site of Highbury Stadium, which had been converted into Highbury Apartments, had not been sold out for several years.

This is probably unimaginable to China. The central area of ​​a first-tier city in London has actually been struggling for so many years.

If it were placed in China, it would be sold out within three months, and it would be off-plan.

However, apartment prices are not cheap, with the average price per square meter being around £1.

This price is not in line with Sun Ke’s housing concept, so it’s useless no matter how good it is.

......

In the locker room, the Arsenal players were a little eager to try.

Manchester United's starting lineup came out, and they put Giggs on the starting list.

Moreover, Scholes is also sitting on the bench, which is enough to show that Manchester United's situation is not very optimistic.

But the old man still reminded the players that they must not make mistakes when facing a team like Manchester United.

Because Arsenal's fault tolerance rate is also very low, once the team has a problem, Wenger cannot count on the children on the bench to help solve the problem.

Seeing the starting lineup, Sun Ke felt that Arsenal did have a chance to win.

Even though the team was double beaten by Manchester United in the previous season, Arsenal only lost one goal when they met Manchester United at home.

In this life, Arsenal's midfield problem is not big, and the defense has been greatly strengthened.

As long as you don't get ahead and face Manchester United cautiously, you may not be unable to win a victory.

......

Studio hall.

Zhan Jun smiled and said: "Good evening, audience friends!"

"What we are about to bring to you is a key battle in the second round of the Premier League No. 20, between Arsenal and Manchester United at home."

"Arsenal was generally looked down upon at the beginning of the season, but currently ranks first in the standings with 16 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, with 52 points. This score also created a historical record for the club."

"This result has attracted the attention of the whole of England. Many media believe that Arsenal's results are just a flash in the pan, but they have survived the most difficult December."

"If they get good results this month, as long as they don't collapse in February, they may really have hope of hitting the league title this season."

"Arsenal's last championship was the FA Cup in the 2004-2005 season, and the last league championship dates back to the 2003-2004 season."

"If the club can win a league championship, it will be a great improvement for the club's influence and the team's morale."

“曼联本赛季的战绩为14胜4平3负，积46分，目前排名联赛No.3。”

"Their biggest problem this season is that they lost too many games, especially between the end of December and the beginning of January, when they lost to Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United, which caused them to fall behind Arsenal in the standings. .”

"There is currently a 9-point gap between the two teams. If Manchester United wants to win the championship this season, this game is the top priority of the entire season."

"In the last six meetings between the two teams, Arsenal's record is 1 win, 1 draw and 4 losses, which puts them at a clear disadvantage."

"In the first round of this season's contest between the two sides, the two sides played an exciting game. Both teams scored 5 goals each. It can be said that they played vigorously."

"This result boosted the morale of Arsenal, who had a weak lineup at the time. It was actually because of this game that Thiago Silva, whom the team later introduced, decided to move to Arsenal."

"And it is said that after the game, Sir Alex turned on the hairdryer in the dressing room and smashed things."

"This time when we came to the Emirates Stadium, Manchester United's situation was much worse. They were eliminated after the Champions League group stage, and they were also quite a few points behind Arsenal in the league."

"They desperately need a win to keep the pressure on the top team, but they have also been plagued by injuries recently."

"Let's look at the starting lineups of both sides."

"Arsenal still has a 4-3-3 formation."

"Goalkeeper: Szczesny!"

"Defenders: Sagna, Silva, Koscielny, Vermaelen!"

"Back midfielder: Sun Ke, Song!"

"Central midfielder: Ramsey!"

"Left winger: Oxlade-Chamberlain!"

"Right winger: Walcott!"

"Center: Van Persie!"

"After a season of hard work, Wenger finally found his defensive team, which is Arsenal's strongest defense at present."

"In this game, Chamberlain replaced Arshavin, who had a poor performance in the previous game, and Ramsey replaced Arteta."

"Manchester United formed a 4-4-2 formation."

"Goalkeeper: Lindegaard!"

"Defenders: Jones, Smalling, Evans, Evra!"

"Midfield: Valencia, Giggs, Carrick, Nani!"

"Forwards: Rooney, Welbeck!"

"Judging from the formation, Arsenal has some restraint against Manchester United."

"The midfield position is Arsenal's strong point this season. The double midfielder combination of Sun Ke and Song is good at attacking and defending. Both have excellent running ability."

"Manchester United's midfielder has serious injuries. Anderson and Fletcher are both injured. The 38-year-old veteran Giggs is in critical condition for this game."

"Looking at the lineup, both Manchester United's midfielders lack hardness. The running ability of Arsenal's three midfielders will be a huge test for Giggs' physical fitness."

"But judging from past games, Rooney should drop back to help his two teammates in the midfield. He is a famous desperate player in the Premier League."

......

During the pre-match handshake between the two sides, when Sun Ke and Giggs shook hands, the Manchester United veteran smiled and patted Sun Ke on the shoulder.

Before the British Olympic team roster was announced, Sun Ke and Giggs were recognized as the two players who were definitely selected.

When meeting Sun Ke, the Manchester United veteran was very friendly.

Seeing Rooney, Sun Ke almost laughed subconsciously.

He suddenly remembered the news about Rooney looking for his aunt, and this guy later specifically mentioned this matter.

Rooney said that in Manchester, Ferguson had spies in all the entertainment venues.

As long as the Manchester United players go fooling around, Ferguson will definitely spray them bloody the next day.

He had no choice but to go to his aunt.

Giggs found his younger siblings.

Facts have proved that things like formations cannot be used as a reference.

After the game started, Rooney's position retreated to the midfield.

As long as Sun Ke gets the ball, Rooney will get entangled immediately.

At the 5th minute of the game, the two faced their first head-to-head confrontation.

Sun Ke took the ball and Rooney immediately pressed forward.

Sun Ke distributed the ball to Sagna on the right and inserted it diagonally behind Nani. Rooney immediately chased after him.

The two people ran for more than ten meters on the wing. The moment Sun Ke caught the ball, Rooney bumped into him decisively.

Being hit by Rooney from behind, Sun Ke could barely maintain his balance.

Unexpectedly, Rooney came again.

This guy's movements were not clean at all, he was pushing and hitting.

Sun Ke staggered and was knocked to the sideline, and the football was about to lose control.

In desperation, Sun Ke suddenly turned around and kicked Rooney hard.

"boom!"

After a muffled sound, Rooney clutched his chest and squatted for a few seconds, stood up and rushed towards Sun Ke.

"Boy, are you looking for trouble?"

"This is a normal action, you are looking for trouble!"

"You wait for me!"

"You can do whatever you want!"

Seeing the two people sticking together, players from both sides gathered around.
