Assistant Coach Mike. While Ferran was allocating hotel rooms to his players, Ferguson was already in the room studying the tactics of the game against Arsenal.

This season's Arsenal is different from the previous two seasons.

Flamini's departure has had a double impact on the Gunners, on the one hand, it is a heavy blow, after all, he has been immersed in the Arsenal team for many years, and the team has a tacit understanding with Cesc Fabregas in terms of squad running-in, coupled with his undead spirit, which is also what the Gunners lack, but on the other hand, Flamini's personal characteristics limit Arsenal's style of play. The Frenchman's frenzied scramble in midfield was due to the fact that he had lost his position in defence. Last season, Arsenal played at home against Manchester United, Ferguson suddenly changed the formation, using the four-five and five-one tactics, and mentioned Cristiano Ronaldo in the counterattack to the forward position of the play, which can be said to be sharp and abnormal in the counterattack, and the slashing Arsenal knife was bloody, all because the Frenchman Flamini was too far forward, and the defensive formation was broken all of a sudden.

In addition, the departure of Belarusian star Hleb has also affected Arsenal's overall style of play. The role of the Belarusians on the field is to connect the midfielders and the forwards, use the dribbling to revitalize the entire front, and create opportunities for the forwards; from a tactical point of view, Fabregas is the "handsome" who sits firmly in the middle of the military tent, while Hleb is the "vanguard" who rushes to the front, and without Hleb's pulling dribbling in the front, Fabregas's command will be greatly limited.

Arsenal without Hleb, although they can still play possession, but it is easy to lose the ball because of the opponent's pressing, Wenger's main introduction of Nasri is more like a winger, Arsenal does not have the kind of player who can control the ball in the front court and stabilize the overall situation.

Of course, this Arsenal team is now attacking at a faster pace, which is where Ferguson needs to be a headache. Walcoat worked well on the counter-attack.

If there is one thing that is lacking in Arsenal's current squad in attack, it is right winger Eboue, who seems to ignore his poor performance in attack in order to strengthen the depth of the midfield defence.

"Arsenal have been more about pace in attack this season and have been lacking in possession than ever before. Ferguson pondered, but, in fact, such an Arsenal is more difficult to deal with, and United are not afraid of Arsenal playing possession. Instead, we need to guard against Arsenal's counter-attacks.

Ferguson considered Arsenal's attacking side and set his sights on their backline.

Arsene Wenger, meanwhile, is also considering the team's backline.

This season, Arsenal's possession advantage in central midfield is not as good as before, which has led to a result, Galla and Toure face a different defensive task than last season, which used to prevent the opposition from counterattacking, this season the combination of Galla and Toure will be tested by the high ball, in the previous games, most of the goals conceded by Arsenal were related to headers, and the bombardment of opponents' headers made the Gunners' defense windy.

The Arsenal centre-back's weaknesses in defending high posts and set-pieces were exposed. Gallas is the kind of centre-back who likes to make physical contact and take advantage of the position, and is certainly a good player if he plays on the wing, but he is not very tall as a centre-back, and he is not good at one-on-one marking from set-pieces, fighting for high balls and judging where to land. Toure, who is partnered with him, is also not a tall type, so it was no surprise that Arsenal were repeatedly beaten by high balls and set-pieces last season.

The lack of height in Arsenal's centre-backs is well known, and Arsene Wenger himself is aware of it, but as long as Galla and Toure are not injured, they will definitely not send in Swiss duo Senderos and Djourou. Because, the two behind are even more reassuring, Senderos has been abused by Drogba without confidence, and if he plays, it is tantamount to burying a thunder in Arsenal's backline.

What makes Wenger happy is that the left and right full-backs Klich and Sagna's table xiàn are still very solid, and Almunia after taking over from Lehmann, although it can't be said how good, the table can only be said to be mid-range, but it will not make some of the more low-level mistakes that Lehmann has made. This has already satisfied Wenger. Of course, Almunia doesn't make Lyman-like mistakes, and likewise, there won't be Lyman's magic.

Arsene Wenger is now thinking about Toure and Gallas, the two centre-backs, and which one of them will take on the burden of defending Yang Fan in this game.

Gallas, Toure!

Arsene Wenger wrote the two names in his notebook and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally made a preliminary decision, but before that, he still had to talk to Gallas.

In fact, in the Arsenal team, Gallas is a very important player for Arsene Wenger, who gave the captain's armband to the French man in his first season at Arsenal from Chelsea. Although it was previously reported in the media that many players in the dressing room were disdainful of Gallas as captain. In the game against Birmingham, he "cried his nose", and former Gunners captain Adams also laughed at the scene of the Frenchman.

This caused widespread skepticism among fans and public opinion, but in the end, Wenger still gave the captain's armband to Gallas before the start of the season, and continued to reuse the fellow.

In fact, Gallas's recent performance is not as good as David Prescott said, it can only be said that he is barely decent, Prescott is supporting Gallas against his will for the sake of black Yang Fan, hoping that Gallas can fight to kill Yang Fan.

"Pat, let William come to my office. Arsene Wenger called his assistant Pat Rice and said.

Willian is Gallas, and the full name of the French centre-back is Willian Gallas.

Garas soon arrives at the professor's office.

Wenger first encouraged his fellow French countrymen and praised them twice.

Then he told about the game with Manchester United, planning to entrust him to the reuse, let Gallas to mark Yang Fan, for the manager's arrangement, Gallas is very happy, the waist is also straight, the strongest central defender to deal with the hottest striker in the Premier League now, this is a natural move.

Arsene Wenger recounted some precautions when defending Manchester United's attack, especially when defending Yang Fan, and reminded his disciple in particular.

"This Chinese has a strong personality and a very bad temper. ”

"Huh?" Garras was stunned for a moment.

"He's not good-tempered, and that's something that can be exploited. Wenger continued, "Do you know what I mean?"

Garras nodded, "Don't worry, sir, I know what to do." ”

Seeing Gallas's crisp answer, Wenger happily patted Gallas on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement. He relaxed a little.

It's just that if he sees Garas's expression after leaving, he won't feel relieved.

Leaving Wenger's office, Garras scratched his head, still thinking about the professor's last words.

That Chinese has a bad temper, the coach means......

As he walked, he thought that there were people along the way who greeted Garas, but he didn't respond, which made Fabregas, who greeted him, look a little bad.

"I see. Garas suddenly shouted with joy.

"What does he do?" asked Sendros.

"Hell knows. Fabregas said sullenly.

The previous media reported that Arsenal's dressing room was unstable, and many players were not convinced that Gallas was the captain.

Yang Fan expressed his confidence in winning the Premier League Golden Boot this season, which was interpreted by some media with ulterior motives as Yang Fan looking down on Van Persie.

At present, on the Premier League's scorer list, Van Persie's goals are five, Yang Fan is seven, the gap between the two is not big, from this aspect, it is correct to say that Van Persie also has a great hope of competing for the Golden Boot. However, if you take into account that Yang Fan scored seven goals and only took four games, the gap will be there.

The media is the type that rises when the news is heard.

Almost overnight, they were all talking about Yang Fan's arrogance, and they had the meaning of complaining about Van Persie.

At this time, Wenger also stood up for his disciple, "Van Persie is the best goalscorer in football today, he was just unlucky before, he was always injured, when Robin is healthy, he is unstoppable. Yang Fan is indeed very good, but he is still young, and youth means a gap in experience, unlike Yang Fan, Robin is a champion player who has experienced the test of the competition! If he wins the Golden Boot, I am not surprised at all. ”

As expected by the media, Wenger supported Van Persie to win the Golden Boot, and Ferguson immediately entered the ring, and Ferguson expressed his support for Yang Fan.

"Yes, the Dutchman is very good, but I still have to say how great and brilliant Yang is, you know, when Van Persie was Young's age, he was a lot worse than Young. Ferguson said to the Manchester Evening News.

Seeing these two men in the ring, the media was excited. That's right, this is the game between Manchester United and Arsenal, this is the duel between Ferguson and Wenger.

And the two players who were supported by the two coaches are the focus of attention.

Needless to say, Yang Fan made a bet with the journalist named David Prescott and vowed to win the Golden Boot.

Although the Dutchman has never publicly expressed his desire for the Golden Boot, how could a striker not want to be the top scorer?!

Enthusiastic reporters immediately asked Van Persie about the league's Golden Boot.

"The league golden boot?" Van Persie held his head high, "I was going to get my hands on it and then talk, since you asked me, I have to admit that yes, my goal is the golden boot, there is nothing to say." ”

The enthusiastic reporter immediately grinned happily, they all know Van Persie's temper, this Dutchman doesn't look at it and doesn't talk much, but he definitely has a proud heart and is definitely an unruly character. It's just different from Yang Fan, Yang Fan is like a hedgehog that explodes thorns, always attacking, and Van Persie is like a proud rooster, usually not good, and when he starts a fire, he is also short-tempered.
