In recent years, due to Arsenal's poor record, Manchester United's main rivals have become Chelsea, Liverpool, and the relationship between Manchester United and Arsenal is not as intense as it used to be, but in the face of the provocation of the Arsenal general, with the character of Ferguson and Manchester United players, he will never spit on himself.

The first to launch a counterattack was Gao Xiaodong, facing reporters, he ruthlessly revealed Arsenal's scars, "Fabregas said that if according to the scale of the Champions League, Arsenal will have at least three more league titles, I am curious, Arsenal has not played in the Champions League, may I ask how many Champions League champions does Arsenal have now? ”

Ferguson publicly responded to his old rival Arsene Wenger in a post-training press conference, "No team will win all the time, the current Premier League is not ten years ago, the competition is much fiercer now, winning more than a dozen games in a row is already a miracle, dozens of consecutive wins are simply unrealistic, I don't agree with Arsène (Wenger), I think Manchester United is in good shape, at least at Old Trafford will not lose to Arsenal." There will definitely be teams that end our unbeaten streak, but I don't believe Arsenal have the ability. ”

At the age of 19, Rooney, the little fat man who broke Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten record with a single shot, also responded to the provocation of the Arsenal general, he said in an interview with reporters: "6 years ago, I broke the Gunners' unbeaten record with a goal, and the day after tomorrow I hope to maintain Manchester United's unbeaten record with a goal, Arsenal is a very special opponent, they play very good-looking, but not enough men, and they like to be crooked when they lose, I believe this is also the reason why they can't win the championship." ”

Manchester United's captain Evans is close to retirement, but in the face of Arsenal, he is still not willing to be lonely, before the game, he issued a call to his teammates to defeat Arsenal, "The opponent challenged us, defeating them is our only task, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, they are Manchester United's most dangerous enemies, no matter how good or bad they are, how high or low their strength, we must go all out, we can win a few, we must not be merciful." Arsenal have not won the title for six years and this year I wish them a great deal of success. ”

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas immediately responded to Evans on Twitter, "There is a big team that was forced to draw by the promoted team, slaughtered by the vice-president, and is in a slump, and it is when we beat the water dogs, and my teammates and I will never be merciful." ”

Arsenal midfielder Nasri also tweeted: "You don't need to mobilize to play Manchester United, I will do my best to help Arsenal win, I don't like Manchester United to win the title, although I don't like Chelsea winning the title either, but Manchester United winning the title will make me more uncomfortable." ”

Manchester United players are also not polite, Gao Xiaodong, Rooney, Giggs and other superstars with countless fans on Twitter have also sent messages to scold Arsenal players, and then the war of words of the stars has also triggered a war of words between star fans and fans, before the game between Manchester United and Arsenal, the entire network is filled with the saliva of fans on both sides.

At this time, the celebrities of Manchester United and Arsenal couldn't sit still, and they also expressed their views on the game, of course, there is nothing fair and objective at this time, which team's celebrities support which team, even if they think their old club will lose, these old guys will definitely not say it.

If Manchester United wins against Blackpool and West Ham United, Manchester United's players will definitely not take Arsenal to heart, but now that the League Cup is promoted to a draw and the League Cup is bloodied by West Ham United, no matter how big Manchester United's heart is, this game will not dare to take it lightly.

Arsenal are a very different team in the Premier League, the whole Premier League is dominated by physical impact, but after the arrival of Arsene Wenger, he turned Arsenal into a team that can attack smoothly and pass the ball to the opponent's goal.

Although Arsenal have not won a single title in recent years, and their style of play has been questioned and considered to be a fist and leg, Wenger has always insisted on his style of play, which even Ferguson admires.

Dealing with Arsenal such a technical flow team, it turns out that Manchester United is a solid defense, tough confrontation, fierce impact tactics, because Arsenal's defense has not been very solid, the hardness of the midfield is not enough, so Manchester United, Chelsea such a tough team can always have the upper hand.

However, with the addition of Berbatov, Hernandez, Gao Xiaodong and others, Manchester United's midfield control has increased greatly, Gao Xiaodong, Scholes, Berbatov, Nani are all technical players who can take the ball, dribble and pass, Ferguson has not stubbornly guarded his tactics unchanged, in the past three months, Ferguson has actually been trying a variety of different tactical plays, trying his best to draw some inspiration from Barcelona, Arsenal, these pass-based teams, hoping that Manchester United can play more technical.

In this game with Arsenal, Ferguson was also experimenting with Arsenal's lineup and style of play when he was fighting a war of words with Arsene Wenger.

After a week of research and experimentation, Alex Ferguson and his coaching staff have finally decided on a starting line-up and 18-man squad for the Arsenal game.

It's a 433 formation that United have rarely played before, with Dimitar Berbatov playing as a central striker, Wayne Rooney and Ryan Giggs as wingers, and a midfield trio of Paul Scholes, Gao Xiaodong and Fletcher. At the back, Evra, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand, Rafael.

The key to this squad is Ryan Giggs' running ability and Fletcher's defensive ability as a single midfielder. If Ryan Giggs can't play on the flanks and Fletcher can't play as a midfielder in 433, then United's change of formation will be unsuccessful.

In his pre-match press conference, Ferguson spoke about his thoughts on the game: "Arsenal have not invested much in summer transfers, but their youth team is getting more and more mature, and they have veterans in the lineup, so they are difficult to deal with. If you look at their performances this season, it's not easy for us to win, even at home, a win in a strong conversation is worth six points and it can also be a blow to the confidence and morale of the opponent, so we have to try to win games like this. ”

"Speaking of Arsenal, fans and media think that Arsenal plays well, and even thinks that playing well is the reason why Arsenal does not win the title, which is very ridiculous, Barcelona plays well or not, they still win the title. ”

'On the continent, no one thinks Manchester United is playing well, but I tell you, Manchester United are also able to play beautiful short passes and unlike Arsenal, we can still win when we play well. ”

Arsene Wenger responded again to the Lord in his pre-match press conference, "Manchester United is the most successful team in the Premier League, they have won countless titles, these are worthy of respect, but if Manchester United play beautifully, I can only hehe, of course everyone thinks that their wife is the most beautiful, which is understandable, but if you think about it, it's just fun, it's better not to say it, otherwise it will be embarrassing." ”

The two coaches' statements at the pre-match press conference were a summary of the war of words, and the next step was to begin.

Although the battle between Arsenal and Manchester United is not as famous as the Manchester derby and the Double Red Club, the two teams also have countless fans, and their matches have attracted the attention of fans all over the world.

The main street has been occupied by Red Devils fans, and Arsenal fans are only a few sporadic ones, but even so, Arsenal fans and Red Devils fans have clashed from time to time, and even though Manchester City has raised the level of security for this game, English football hooligans are endless, and it is really not possible to completely eliminate them by raising the security level.
