Chapter 56: Since Ephesus left
After saying goodbye to the father and son, Liu Feng and Yuan Xiao’s trip to Italy officially came to an end. They returned to London on the flight that night.
Arsenal's start of the match in November is definitely not easy. After the second match with Juventus, the Gunners returned to the league, and the game they are about to usher in is to face their old rival Red Devils Manchester United.
Since Moyes took over Manchester United, their league performance this season has been quite bumpy.
Ferguson's departure has a great impact on the team that competed with Arsenal last season to the last few league games. After the ten rounds of the new season, the Red Devils ranked eighth in the league with only 17 points.
Compared with the powerful teams at Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal, which firmly occupy the first tier of the league, Manchester United's current performance is not even comparable to Tottenham this season.
Moyes, who was appointed by the Lord as his first heir after Everton's success, was obviously not yet adapted to the players and style of play of this team, and the players also had not yet adapted to the days of leaving Ferguson.
Logically speaking, in this case, Arsenal is not so nervous, but they will challenge Manchester United away from home. The devilish atmosphere of Old Trafford and the grudges of the two teams are not allowed to be ignored by professors and players.
Therefore, after the team resumed training, Arsenal's preparations were very careful. Considering that Moyes liked to use after repeated exploration, Wenger arranged a lot of targeted training.
The team's midfielder and forward players are very dedicated. When the daily training is about to end, the reserve team's small players will also play the role of opponents for the first team to practice tactics.
Off the court, Ferguson did not disappear into the football world after leaving. Although he was no longer the coach of Manchester United, the old coach still stood firmly for his children in the media interview.
"The team has experienced a pain period, and the next step is the time to make a comeback. I think beating Arsenal will be the turning point of the team this season."
Wenger, who had originally regretted that Ferguson had left without a quarrel, felt energetic after receiving Ferguson's words, and he quickly accepted the interview.
"I want to answer that meeting us is indeed their turning point, but not upward but downward, we will leave them speechless at Old Trafford."
This familiar smell made the reporters trance think that Wenger and Ferguson are still in their team. Unfortunately, when Moyes was interviewed as the current head coach of Manchester United, everyone's illusion was wiped out.
"Arsenal is a very strong team, we will deal with it carefully at home, and it will be a tough showdown."
Compared to Ferguson, Moyes is obviously an honest person. His speech is not kind but directly shows Manchester United's attitude in this game - seeking progress while maintaining stability.
The professor had nothing to say when facing such a speech. He also praised Moyes and Manchester United for a few words, and then stopped.
There is no time on the court, and the training time is repeated and boring. The players spent a few days before the game started without realizing it, and the days had already come to the day of the game.
Arsenal left London City in the morning and arrived in Manchester City before noon. Many Manchester United fans booed them on the streets.
In response to this, the Gunners said it was not painful, and everyone went to a place to rest and practice in advance without caring.
In the afternoon, the buses of the two teams drove into the Old Trafford Stadium one after another, and the loud cheers and booed each other as a companion to both sides sent them into the stadium.
And when Arsenal players came to the court to warm up, this booing came to the top.
Who knows how regretful Manchester United fans are that they were not able to win the Premier League championship again when Ferguson left last season. Now they face Arsenal, who has dominated the Premier League for three consecutive seasons at home, and they want to press the team to the ground and hammer it.
As for the players on both sides, after looking at each other, they ignited a huge fighting spirit. They fell in love and wanted to kill each other for three seasons. There were players coming and going in our team, but there were still many players who had not changed.
For example, Van Persie, who betrayed Arsenal and joined Manchester United for the championship, such as the former Gunners Phil Jones who joined Manchester United in the new season, and the iron-killed Red Devil Rooney Little Fatty.
Their moods against Arsenal are different, but their purpose is the same, that is, to win the opponent at home.
The warm-up between the two sides did not last long. After the difference was almost done, the two teams returned to the locker room under the leadership of their respective coaches.
"We have only one goal, that is to bring victory home, there is no other option!"
"I understand coach!"
"It's time for revenge. Use your strength to make them fail at Old Trafford Stadium!"
"roar!"
The two coaches finally made the team cheer up their spirits and their effects were similar. The players of the two teams seemed passionate when they entered the court with the referee team.
Everything continued until Liu Feng, who had the kick-off, placed the ball firmly on the serving point, and the air solidified and stopped for a moment.
“嘘~嘘!!!”
"Okay, with the referee whistle, the game officially kicked off, and Arsenal took the lead in getting the ball."
The voices of Liu Jianhong and Zhan Jun officially flooded the fans with the start of the game, and everyone's spirits quickly gathered to look at the stadium.
"In this game, Arsenal team attacked from left to right wearing a yellow away jersey, while Manchester United team wore a red jersey at home. The two sides quickly got entangled at the beginning."
On the court, before the commentators could say anything, the Gunners' offensive advance had already crossed the midfield line and began to get entangled with Manchester United's midfield.
"The two teams have very abundant midfield power. Arsenal, who plays 442, and Manchester United, who plays 451, have great requirements for controlling the midfield. The battle between the two sides is very fierce."
Although neither side has created murderous intent, due to the accumulation of midfield confrontation, both commentators have not yet introduced the opportunity to start on both sides, so they simply focus on the game itself.
"Oh~, Arsenal's moves are fast. Ganso just completed a breakthrough against his old teammate Phil Jones who was arranged in the midfield by Moyes."
In the sixth minute of the game, as Gansuo officially opened Manchester United's midfield defense and penetrated into the opponent's midfield hinterland, the first attack of this game started.
Chapter completed!
