I am the king of football

Chapter 246 Let’s fight
When the first rays of sunshine in the early morning spread over the earth, the whole city of Manchester began to come alive. Red flags were hung by excited fans on every street corner. On this day, red became the main theme of the entire city.

As we enter November, autumn in the UK is deepening and people are no longer wearing thin shirts. Instead, they are wearing jackets with the Manchester United logo on them on the streets.

In terms of fan culture and spending money on teams, British fans are definitely at the forefront of the world, and it is precisely because of this football foundation that the Premier League has been able to grow from a few teams in its early days to the towering tree it is today.

"Manchester United! Manchester United! We are the invincible Red Devils!"

The impact of last week's loss to Norwich has quietly passed. In the entire league, there is no team that has not lost, and the fans are all quite calm.

Of course, this is also related to Manchester United's very good performance this season. When the team's overall development is positive, one or two defeats will not have much impact.

Accompanied by the singing of the fans, the entire Manchester United team, playing at home, first gathered at their own training base, and under the leadership of Ferguson, they conducted the final tactical drill.

With the departure of Robin van Persie in the summer window this year, Arsenal lost their mainstay in the front line. They had to deal with redundant players and raise funds while looking for suitable strikers in the transfer markets of major leagues.

Unfortunately, due to their limited financial resources, they lost out in quite a few competitions, and only managed to complete all of their signings this summer as the summer transfer window was about to end.

The team brought in 1300-year-old Olivier Giroud, who topped the Ligue 26 scoring charts in the 11-12 season, from Montpellier in Ligue 1100 for £ million, and German striker Podolski from Bundesliga Cologne for £ million. Although neither of them is as star-studded as Van Persie, it was a response to the team losing its top striker.

In addition, Wenger, who loves talented midfielders, also decided on the Gunners' last signing this summer, which was the introduction of midfielder Cazorla from La Liga upstart Malaga for £1650 million. This was also the Gunners' most important signing this summer.

Don't underestimate 1650 million pounds, which has created a new record in Arsenal's transfer history. Since the construction of the Emirates Stadium, the Gunners have always focused on spending little money to achieve big things. This time they are willing to spend a lot of money on Cazorla, which shows Wenger's love for him.

Although the Gunners' results have not been good since the start of this season, the three new players have integrated well and have already become regular starters in the team.

This time, in terms of defensive arrangements, Ferguson made targeted arrangements for Giroud, the center forward often used by Wenger. In Ferguson's view, Giroud's ability in heading is very outstanding, followed by the ability to seize opportunities.

What a coincidence, there are two people in his team who are no worse than Giroud in these two aspects. Both Van Persie and Qin Hu can help the team with targeted training.

In the past few days, the team's defenders have been working hard to defend against Qin Hu and Van Persie's headers and movements during training matches.

In addition, the hardness of the midfield has been improved. The opponent's midfield has all-round midfielders such as Ramsey, Wilshere and Cazorla, which is definitely not easy for Manchester United to deal with. Therefore, in training, Ferguson also deliberately strengthened the training content of his own midfield in confrontation.

"Don't give them the chance to play in the midfield, and don't give them the chance to play in the air. These are the two points I want to emphasize in the end."

Before lunch on the match day, Ferguson finished the final preparation drill. With a wave of his hand, the players started to feast in the base restaurant.

Like them, the Arsenal team, who were currently at the Manchester City training base, also finished their final practice. The match was held at 4pm local time, and both teams even took a short break after lunch, and only set off for Old Trafford two hours before the match started.

When Manchester United's bus drove into their home stadium under the attention of the public, the cheers from the audience almost overturned the entire sky. Correspondingly, when Wenger and his Gunners appeared in the sight of the Red Devils fans, the thunderous boos almost drowned them.

"CCTV, CCTV, dear viewers, what you are watching now is the live footage from Old Trafford. You can see that both teams have followed their coaches into the stadium to start warming up."

Due to the importance of the event, CCTV cut in the signal very early. Zhan Jun sat in the commentary seat with the best view and watched everything in front of him. He was also a little excited.

Ferguson and Wenger have been fighting for nearly a decade. As a famous commentator of the Premier League, Zhan Jun is also very fond of them. Like the fans, he knows all the classic matches between Ferguson and Wenger.

The camera turned to the field, where Ferguson and Wenger were standing on the sidelines, watching the team training with their hands folded. The two old coaches looked at each other and nodded to each other.

Compared to Ferguson's domineering and extroverted personality, Wenger can be said to be a classic template of a French gentleman. He is gentle and has an extraordinary temperament. Except that he can never zip up his jacket and coat, this old gentleman is an elegant man.

But this French gentleman always couldn't keep calm when he met Ferguson. The two of them often quarreled at press conferences, and even refuted each other's words on some talk shows.

On the court, every time the teams coached by the two meet, it is a life-and-death fight. In the end, there can only be one winner.

This season, in this game, there is one more reason why both sides must fight to the death, and that is Van Persie.

As Wenger's favorite disciple, Robin Hood, who played for the Gunners for eight years and became the captain in the last season, chose to switch to their arch-rivals. The grudges here cannot be explained in one sentence.

From the moment they entered the stadium, the Gunners players kept looking at the Manchester United players in training. Needless to say, everyone knew who they were looking at. Some die-hard Gunners fans who had traveled with the team even started shouting traitors.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Surprisingly, Van Persie, who was at the center of public opinion, acted completely oblivious to what was happening outside. He buried his head and kicked the ball passed by Qin Hu again and again, with only the goal in his eyes.

His teammates were all looking at him, and they could see from his shot that this player was definitely not as calm as he appeared to be.

In a word, the Gunners vs. the Red Devils, no matter the old or new hatreds, the love between men and women, or the grudges, this is the Premier League, let’s talk football, just come and fight!!!
