Chapter 430: Breakup at the Emirates Stadium
Chapter 430: Breakup at the Emirates Stadium
Against Bayern, this draw result is not considered good in everyone's eyes. No matter how amazing Dortmund's performance has been in recent years, according to the reports of reporters and media, the Hornets are still the weakest of the four teams.
Many fans who were expecting the Red Devils to win the Champions League felt sorry that Manchester United did not draw with Dortmund. In their opinion, Bayern is not an easy opponent. The team's lineup is too solid and there are countless superstars.
From front to back, King Ribery and Little Flying Man Robben are on the left and right, with a smart striker like Muller in the middle. In the midfield, they also have top players like Schweini and Kroos. As for the back line, the owner of the line where everyone fell to the ground and only one person was standing after the team lost the Champions League final at the Allianz Arena is still in the team, and that is Bayern's captain Lahm.
In the goalkeeper position, Neuer, who firmly occupies the title of the top three goalkeepers in the world, is as talented as De Gea. In addition, with the years of experience and having seen too many big scenes with Bayern, this goalkeeper is more mature and stable than De Gea.
All in all, this is a very strong opponent. Manchester United cannot be sure of winning any position. In fact, due to the decline in the form of the veterans in the Red Devils, their overall strength may be slightly worse than Bayern.
Therefore, after returning to Manchester, facing the interviews from reporters and media in the multimedia room who were pessimistic about the team, Ferguson's face was not good. He widened his eyes and responded seriously to everyone's judgment on the strength of the two teams.
"My team has won three titles, three titles! No one has the right to say they are not strong. Whether it is Bayern or Barcelona, we will go all out when we meet them. It is true that the opponents we drew are very strong, but this is already the semi-finals of the Champions League! As long as we beat them, we can reach the final."
Glancing at the reporters at the scene, Ferguson emphasized very seriously.
“My students will then use their strongest performance to prove what a European champion should look like!”
After clapping his hands, Ferguson said he would not answer any more questions. Qin Hu and Vidic, who were sitting on both sides of him, did not say anything more. The press conference ended in a bad mood.
When he returned to the training ground, Ferguson passed on the frustration of being told that he was not as good as others to his disciples. Naturally, the Manchester United players, who had already won the championship trophy three times, were quite dissatisfied, so this gave the team the motivation to train hard.
However, before officially facing Bayern, Manchester United will have to face an equally tough opponent, that is, to challenge the Gunners Arsenal away in the penultimate round of the league.
Next week, the team will face the first round of the Champions League semi-finals. It is really uncomfortable to have this game stuck at this point. Ferguson trained the team for a few more days, but in the end did not let all the main players of the team set out to challenge the Gunners.
Qin Hu and Rooney got a chance to rest, and the returning Van Persie and Hernandez appeared in the starting lineup as starting forwards. Behind them, Welbeck, Shinji Kagawa and Valencia formed a midfield three, with Giggs as the defensive midfielder.
Among the four defenders, Butner, Phil Jones, Evans and Rafael started, and De Gea was the goalkeeper.
This is a rotation lineup that is missing some main players. Ferguson conveyed his current thinking through his lineup - compared with the upcoming Champions League battle, the victory or defeat between himself and his old rival Wenger has become less important.
There is no way. Who made Manchester United win the championship so easily this season? Who made the Gunners lose so miserably to Manchester United in the first half of the season?
However, when the game really started, Arsenal's strong desire for revenge made the Manchester United starting players look embarrassed.
Van Persie, who returned to the Emirates Stadium, was met with huge boos from the fans. The boos included dissatisfaction with his betrayal and regret that the team failed to win any of the four major titles again this season while Van Persie won the treble directly after joining the Red Devils.
In short, this made Robin Hood, who returned to his hometown, feel deeply hurt. He thought he could handle the relationship with the Gunners fans well, but he was a little bit broken. So, in the 37th minute of the game, when Van Persie received a cross from Valencia on the wing and headed it into the goal, the player celebrated in a way that Arsenal fans could not forgive him for many years.
"It was sliding on his knees! Van Persie actually slid on his knees at the Emirates Stadium. He made such a provocative move when he returned to his hometown to fight against his old club. This completely broke off relations with the Arsenal fans..."
Zhan Jun was also extremely surprised. Van Persie has been at Arsenal for quite some time. During the years that he has been commentating on the Premier League, Robin and the Arsenal fans have always been in close proximity.
But at this moment, when Van Persie slid on his knees and turned around to hug his Manchester United teammates, curses rang out one after another throughout the Emirates Stadium. The continuous beeping sounds made the fans in front of the TV also feel the anger of the Arsenal fans.
At this point in the game, Arsenal's players were completely ignited. As the game opened up again with a score of 0-1, they began to counterattack at the Emirates Stadium amid the heart-wrenching roars of tens of thousands of Gunners fans.
In the 1rd minute of the game, Gunners center forward Giroud took advantage of a corner kick and headed the ball into Manchester United's goal. Evans, who missed the opponent's position, dug a big hole for De Gea, and the two sides entered the second half with a score of 1-.
After the start of the second half, Ferguson began to instruct the team to use a defensive approach to deal with Arsenal's crazy attack.
However, just ten minutes later, when Arsenal's winger Walcott dribbled the ball and broke through the defense of three Red Devils players on the left, the Gunners had another direct attack.
"The ball was passed to the middle by the little tiger, Giroud crossed his feet and let the ball pass, and Rosicky shot!!!"
"Oh!"
The Gunners' starting midfielder Rosicky appeared in front of the ball. He rubbed the ball into an extreme arc and flew into the upper right corner of the goal.
2-1, Arsenal reversed the game at home.
Although Manchester United started to counterattack and press forward in the subsequent games, their offensive opportunities were blocked again and again when facing the Gunners who entered the Super Saiyan state after bursting into energy.
Especially Van Persie, whenever he got the ball, the whole stadium would surround him with boos, and the Gunners' defenders would use all means to stop him.
In the end, the actions of both sides became more and more intense, and Ferguson gave up on replacing Qin Hu to try to change the score. When the final whistle sounded, the score had not changed.
2-1, Arsenal, who had been stumbling throughout the season, finally won a crucial battle near the end of the season. They successfully avenged Manchester United this season.
After the game, Van Persie left the stadium directly. He did not accept interviews from reporters, but what is certain is that the former Arsenal captain has completely broken with the Gunners. When they meet again in the future, all the beauty and stories of the past will no longer count. They are just enemies, enemies fighting for life and death.
