Chapter 0412 goodbye and never see you again
Arsenal's team doctor entered the court to conduct examinations and treatments for Sanchez. Wenger saw the gesture made by the team doctor, a gesture he didn't want to see: Sanchez could not continue to play and had to substitute people.
The professor's face was gloomy. This was really unlucky. Losing was hurtful.
Arsenal was forced to make a substitution, and Lacazette came on as a substitute, replacing Sanchez who had just been replaced not long ago.
The professor obviously hasn't given up on the competition yet, and he hopes to have another prize.
"Arsenal's luck is too bad." Leinker shook his head. He thought Arsenal and Wenger were too unlucky, even a little pitiful.
Mbappe's goal was scored quite timely, completely dispelling Arsenal's morale and fighting spirit.
Arsenal may have made sufficient preparations for today's game, thinking about winning Manchester United once.
When the score was 0:2, maybe they regained some fighting spirit when they were halftime.
However, these remaining fighting spirits disappeared instantly after the third goal was lost.
Not only that, after 0:3, the painful memories of the previous games against Manchester United began to flood the players' minds at this time: Forget it, let's just do it, it's not that we have been beaten up by Manchester United - we are all used to it anyway.
……………………
After the game started again, although Wenger made an offensive substitution adjustment, the Arsenal players were a little absent-minded, or more precisely, they were in a state of dismay.
The camera gave Arsenal head coach Arsenal Wenger close-up to the sidelines. The professor who appeared in the camera frowned and stood there.
It is very obvious that even Professor Lao Ru doesn’t seem to know what to do when facing this situation.
"On this time, we would say, see what Wenger can do, but this coach who has coached Arsenal for 22 years doesn't know what to do," said Leinker.
This is not a sarcasm or a joke, but it has a desolate meaning of an old handsome man.
Wenger just looked at the field, his mind was moving quickly, trying to find a solution to the problem. But he had to admit and face a reality: in the face of such a passive situation, he was really powerless.
The professor is really desperate!
He knew very well that the Chinese boy on the opposite side had not put in much effort today. It can be seen from this starting lineup that, like the League Cup final two months ago, they were all young players and substitutes.
But even such a substitute rotation lineup, Arsenal is not an opponent at all.
Two months ago, they lost 0:3 and lost their only chance to win the championship this season.
Today, the game is far from over, and his team is already 3 goals behind his opponent. He doesn't know what the final score will be if he continues like this.
……………………
He has been coaching Arsenal for 22 years, and Wenger has been adopting a progressive reform strategy, which is very similar to the elegant style of his nickname professor.
His 22-year long coaching career has successfully left a deep mark on Arsenal's personal values and coaching philosophy.
It can be said that throughout the history of the Premier League, besides himself, only the red-nosed old man who had retired five years ago has done this... No, there is another person...
Wenger turned his eyes to the young man not far from him.
Wenger shook his head secretly. It took him more than ten years or even more time to do something, but the kid only took him four years to do it, and even did it better than himself and Ferguson.
We have to admit that some people are real geniuses, as if they were born successful people, and could easily do things that others could not do even if they fought their best.
……………………
No one will like failure, and Wenger is eager to lead Arsenal to take off again.
Whenever this helpless moment and no one is available, the professor has thought many times that "if he had been willing to spend money to sign XX".
In the transfer tide of the "Winger era", Arsenal has also insisted on its buying philosophy.
In the early years, Arsenal tightened spending in the construction of the new stadium and was forced to act as a weak player in the transfer market. Arsenal fans also lost the excitement of welcomed superstars for many years.
At the same time, in order to build Arsenal's long-term strategy, Wenger only saw selling and buying rare.
This has led to a decline in Arsenal's combat power, and his record has been getting worse every year. From the competition with Manchester United to the competition for the Premier League, now it is impossible to even compete for the competition for the Premier League.
Faced with the team's deteriorating record and the improvement in the team's financial resources, Wenger began to change his signing strategy, especially in recent years, he has continuously spent a lot of money to introduce top superstars such as Sanchez, Goldfish Eye, Lacazette, and Aubameyang.
However, in the face of the new situation in the Premier League, especially the re-rise of Manchester United in the Ye Su era, and the tycoon-like rise of Chelsea and Manchester City, the effects that Arsenal's investments can produce are directly greatly reduced.
……………………
"Look at Manchester United's bench, Rooney, Harry Kane, De Bruyne, Kanter, Maguire, Van Dijk and Dean Henderson, almost all are star players, even superstar players; then look at Arsenal, Holding, Nketia, Monreal, Villebeck and Cech, it's so pitiful." John Motson said bluntly.
BBC's guest Rio Ferdinand shook his head and said: "Arsenal has invested a lot of money in the transfer market over the years, and can basically rank in the top three in the Premier League. However, the signing effect is really not very good, and the team's combat power is not much improved."
After a pause, Ferdinand continued: "When it comes to signings, I still admire Ye Su. Look at the Manchester United team in front of him, they are almost all players he has introduced after taking over Manchester United. The cost is not high, but each one is worth it. Especially in recent transfer windows, Manchester United has also made a lot of profits in the transfer market."
Listening to John Motson and Ferdinand's words, Arsenal legend Thierry Henry next to him was speechless.
The former Gun King even regretted appearing in the live broadcast room as a guest of this game. If I had known this, it would have been better to go to Old Trafford to cheer for my mentor.
……………………
With the team leading the team with a 3:0 score, Manchester United began to slow down their offense. Ye Su began to make substitution adjustments, on the one hand, let the players who played get a rest, and on the other hand, let the players who played less before get a chance to play.
Phil Jones replaced Smalling, while McTominay replaced Lingard.
In the 80th minute, Arsenal scored a goal to save face. Zaka gave an assist, and Mkhitaryan shot with his right foot outside the penalty area, and the ball rushed into the lower left corner of the opponent's goal.
1:3, Arsenal finally scored.
However, before the end of the game, Manchester United scored another goal. In the 91st minute, Ashley Young made an assist through a cross from the wing, and Fellaini headed the ball in the center of the penalty area, and the ball rushed into the lower right corner of the opponent's goal. Manchester United 4:1 Arsenal.
In the end, referee Marina blew the whistle to the end of the game, and cheers like tsunamis of thunder broke out at Old Trafford Stadium.
"1:4! Arsenal lost the game with a shameful score, and Wenger also lost the chance to defeat Ye Su for the last time during his coaching Arsenal. He faced Ye Su's embarrassing record of no victory, after all, he followed him for a lifetime." Leinker paused for a moment and continued.
"In addition to the Community Shield Cup before the start of this season, two league games, and two league cup finals two months ago, Arsenal faced Manchester United four times this season, and Wenger's team all lost. In 4 games, the Gunners lost 15 goals, but only scored a pitiful three goals, losing without any temper."
………………………………………
In the live broadcast rooms of major broadcast media, the commentators were still commenting on the game, and of course they were also talking about Wenger's upcoming departure after the season.
Jin Xiangkai said: "Twenty-two years of beauty have dispersed, but only loyalty and love. The old man has dedicated everything to the Gunners for 20 years. Maybe he is a little paranoid, maybe he is a little behind the times, or maybe he is a little difficult to compete for the fourteenth. But he always instilled all his vocational education philosophy into this city without asking for rewards. Although you will laugh at him for losing, he is the hope of sitting there before any game. I remember that the professor could leave last season, but he stayed for the development of the team. I am not a gun fan, but I respect the professor."
Zhan Jun said: "I think Wenger's greatest contribution to the club and even the fans during his coaching period is to shape a belief, his philosophy, his code of conduct, and his words and deeds will become role models for you in life and one of the reference principles for your judgment and decisions."
Zhang Lu took over the conversation and said, "After all, modern football is driven by capital, but club profit and operation have nothing to do with fans in essence. The supporters of regional teams are still the memorial, recognition and inheritance of humanistic emotions. It is no exaggeration to say that football matches are wars in peaceful times. Back then, Henry and Xiaofa left only caused an era of idol vacuum, but Wenger's departure caused a lack of faith. Diego fans will feel empty of this lack of innocence and beauty. As the saying goes, 'I have been a patient since you left', which is roughly like this. Supporting the spiritual pillar of a generation, Wenger's contribution has long surpassed modern utilitarian football itself."
Zhan Jun continued: "Arsenal's 22-year results and a stadium have been achieved by Professor Wenger for a lot of effort. Not to mention anything else, no one can bear to blame anything anymore when looking at the hair of the flower. The results are no longer important, one game is less. For Arsenal, after Wenger leaves, changes must be made, and the team must have the courage to make a major change. At most half of these players in Arsenal can play at Manchester United."
"Half?" Zhang Lu shook her head and said, "Maybe there are half, maybe less, maybe more. In my opinion, the players' problems exist, but the coach's problems are bigger. If the same lineup is handed over to Ye Su, the results will definitely be different."
There is a saying that Zhang Lu didn't say, he thought Wenger was out of the way, and that a champion coach like Ye Su was the new trendsetter.
……………………
Although the game has ended, neither player has dispersed.
As Wenger and Manchester United's last match, Manchester United made careful preparations to pay tribute to this great opponent.
After the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Ye Su personally came to the visiting team coach's seat and asked Wenger to get off the coach's seat, and escorted him to the stadium with a chat and laugh.
The person waiting for Wenger on the court was Manchester United's meritorious coach Sir Ferguson. He took out a small gift specially prepared and gave it to Wenger.
Ferguson and Wenger first hugged, then Wenger also smiled and raised Ferguson to give a small gift. Finally, Ferguson specifically asked Ye Su to come over and hug Wenger.
It can be said that without the fight between Ferguson and Wenger, there would be no prestige in the Premier League today. Ferguson has retired gloriously, and Wenger will leave Arsenal after the end of this season.
Back then, Ferguson and Wenger were opponents, but the heroes appreciate each other. Although they are not friends now, they are also the ones who understand each other the best. As the Arsenal coach, Wenger came to Old Trafford for the last time, and Ferguson would definitely send his old friends away.
There are too many stories between Ye Su and Wenger in the four years since he joined Manchester United.
But tonight, all the respect was given to Wenger. Ye Su personally invited Wenger to Old Trafford. The two of them stood shoulder to shoulder, talking and laughing. At this moment, all the grudges were resolved. On the court, Ferguson took out a gift and gave it to Wenger. At Manchester United's home court, Wenger won respect.
……………………
With Wenger leaving Arsenal at the end of the season, an era in the Premier League officially came to an end.
Ferguson coached Manchester United for 27 years, and Wenger coached Arsenal for 22 years. The competition between Manchester United and Arsenal was a symbol of the Premier League era.
Ferguson also said: "It was the battle between Manchester United and Arsenal that created the current prosperous Premier League, and its influence became increasingly greater."
After Ferguson left, Manchester United had a brief decline, but they quickly found the right person. With Ye Su's entry, they quickly returned to the top and opened a new glorious era for the team.
As for what Arsenal's future is, everything is still in the fog.
In addition, Arsenal has missed the fourth place in the league this season. Now it depends on whether Wenger can bring Arsenal to the UEFA Champions League. This is the only trophy they can compete for this season.
The Gunners fans all hope that Wenger can leave with the championship in a decent manner. But Ye Su knew that all this was a luxury. With the strength of this Arsenal team, he failed to defeat Atletico Madrid at home, and he basically had no chance when he went away.
With the teams of players from both sides on the scene, Wenger walked out of Old Trafford amid the applause of the 76,000 fans from both sides standing up.
Goodbye Wenger!
