"Equalling the record in this game [against Portsmouth]? why not?...... It's a fitting opponent," Yang Fan said in an interview with BBC5.

He didn't want to hide his bad feelings for Portsmouth, and he didn't need to hide anything at all, the whole of England, and even the whole world, knew about his feud with Portsmouth. Since it is an enemy, then, kill him. This is Yang Fan's logic, and, as he himself said, he does feel that at the moment when he hit the Premier League goal record, the opponent is Portsmouth, which is simply God's special arrangement, and this opponent makes him extra energetic.

Yang Fan's words made Yang Fan suddenly become the public enemy of Portsmouth. To be precise, to add to the hatred of the people of Portsmouth.

In the eyes of Portsmouth, not to mention the old grudge between Yang Fan and Portsmouth, Yang Fan's attitude of no one in his eyes completely ignores the opponent makes Portsmouth's players and football 'fans' very unhappy. Not to mention that they are already hostile to each other.

Speaking to the media, Portsmouth's player and the famous 'anti-Yang Fan fighter' Diop said: "Our whole team is waiting for this game and he will pay for his words and actions. ”

Campbell, one of the 'perpetrators' of the brawl on the pitch, also told the fans, "Although it is a game at Old Trafford, we will not be afraid, we will not be cowardly, you will find that all of us are warriors!"

Considering Campbell's Arsenal background, Arsenal fans also cheered for Campbell, and some fans even said that Arsene Wenger should consider bringing Campbell back to the arsenal, and Arsenal need such a fighting veteran.

The Manchester United players responded decisively to the Portsmouth's statement.

"They're looking forward to the game, and so are we!" - Scholes.

"Yang Fan said he was going to break the record in this race? What do I think? He never says big things! I can now imagine how hard he will work in the race, and all we have to do as teammates and friends is to help him achieve that. -- Tevez.

"I've always 'figured' whether Diop is a Spaniard or a Spaniard?" Rooney said sarcastically, referring to Diop's previous attack on Yang Fan in an interview with the Catalan media. At that time, almost the whole of England was unanimous with the outside world, and the Spanish media did it, even some people who were unhappy with Manchester United were temporarily silent and did not dare to speak 'nonsense' to show their position, and Portsmouth and Diop's move once caused a lot of controversy and criticism.

The players on both sides are getting more and more angry.

At this time, the head coaches of both sides also had to come out to cool down the smell of fire 'medicine' in this game.

'It's just a normal Premier League fixture, there's nothing to say, we're going to go for the win as always, and of course Portsmouth won't be easy to beat and it's going to be tough. Ferguson said.

"Manchester United are a super team, Old Trafford is the most difficult fortress in the whole league, what Portsmouth has to do is play with all your strength, my players are 'awesome' guys, they are full of fighting spirit, this is pure play, don't mix too many factors that shouldn't be stored in it. The Portsmouth manager said.

The Portsmouth manager is Tony Adams, yes that Tony Adams, the legendary captain of Arsenal, he took over Portsmouth in October last year, and this time he led the team to Old Trafford, which is also the Arsenal captain's return to the stadium of his career rival after retiring, which is also interpreted by the media as one of the highlights of this game. In the last decade and the beginning of this century, Tony Adams was the symbol of Arsenal, and the confrontation and hegemony between Arsenal and Manchester United led by him represented the story of the entire Super League. To this day, countless Arsenal football 'fans' still remember this scene: this is one of the most representative 'sex' moments in the history of the Premier League, and it is also one of Arsenal's important assets, Tonya Adams 'plugged' at high speed, received a pass from Steve Bould, and then a powerful 'shot' 'goal' broke through the ball 'goal' guarded by Thoma***yhre, leading the team to a 4-0 victory over Everton, and also won the 1997/1998 Premier League title. [A lot of good novels]

At the time, the commentator roared: "One qiē is too 'good'." It may be a reference to Arsene Wenger's new style, but it is also a tribute to Adams' remarkable rebirth, who is already one of the best defensive players in the entire Premier League. A consummate leader who puts on the best performances of his teammates with his roar and emotional expression, Adams is the epitome of the never-give-up defender, and the fight against alcoholism and the determination and courage shown in the latter stages of his career made his 19-year years with the Gunners seem so special. In the eyes of the Arsenal people of North London, Adams, a great leader and a man who was loyal all his life, will always be remembered, both in the past and in the future. Born in Romford three months after Bobby Moore won the World Cup for England, Adams began his football career at Arsenal in 1980 and went on to become captain of the Three Lions like the great West Ham player.

Adams made his debut three years later, just after his 17th birthday, and then became the youngest captain in Arsenal history at the age of 21 with his incredible strength, outstanding defence and outstanding personality, which he never relinquished until his retirement in 2002.

After winning the 1987 Carabao Cup, Adams won a series of trophies under Graham at a time when Arsenal were a solid but derided side. However, the clean sheet and one-zero doctrine brought an undished fortune to Adams and the likes of Dixon, Winterburn and Bourd, who were the cornerstone of one of England's most famous defences in history, and together they won two league titles with Graham, including a last-minute victory at Anfield on 26 May 1989.

Adams and his team-mates' best moment as a team came in the 1994 Cup Winners' Cup final, when Adams and his team-mates built a heroic defence against a talented Parma team, including Zola, Asprilla and the slim Brolin, who won 1-0. The defense quartet's understanding and grasp of creating offside traps even made them ridiculed in the movie "The Six Heroes of the Light Pig", and Adams' name was also mentioned separately, and the 1997 film was later nominated for an Oscar for Best Picture. Twice a league winner, a cup double in 1993 and a European title the following year, Adams should have reveled in his performances and become one of the best players in the entire Premier League with his many influential players on the pitch. However, Adams' off-court scandal began to make the news in 1990, when he was sentenced to four months in prison for drunk driving, eventually serving two months, and by 1996 it was almost universally known. Adams admits heavily, and the bad 'lean' culture has even spread to Highbury's dressing room. With team-mates like Rayparlour and Rson, there was no shortage of material for the story of the street tabloids, and Adams' life was at a low ebb due to various scandals. His problems were brought to light in his mixed autobiography, The Addict, which chronicled his struggle with the wine and his heartbreak after a penalty defeat to Germany at Euro 1996. In the midst of the struggle between the abyss of despair and a stubborn illness that has drained many people, Adams welcomes a seemingly unlikely guardian angel, a hard-working Frenchman who came to England in September 1996, and before that he coached Nagoya Whales in Japan, and now we all know that this person is Arsene Wenger. The revolution in diet and training methods brought about by the French not only caused a huge shock in England, but also had an immeasurable impact on Adams' football career and personal life. Adams was also encouraged to become more introspective, honest and mature after discovering the precious qualities of a great captain in Arsene Wenger, and it is no exaggeration to say that the trust of the French helped his captain win the battle against alcohol addiction and prolong his career. His image in the tabloids also changed significantly, with Adams learning piano, reading Shakespeare, and studying for a degree in sports science, while a date with supermodel Caprice earned him considerable fame, a modern-day version of the 'prodigal' back. On the pitch, Adams also benefited from Arsene Wenger's forward-looking strategy, being able to 'plug in' at the right time to get out of a long-standing caricature of being a 'donkey', thanks in large part to his own goal against Manchester United in 1989, and four years later, after winning the Carabao Cup final against Sheffield Wednesday, Adams was so agitated that he even accidentally injured team-mate Steve Morrow while celebrating.

Adams was a sane captain who led the Gunners to the Double in 1998 and had plenty of tough and decisive performances, the culmination of which was the goal against Everton, whose celebrations and wins still adorn the walls outside the first-team dressing room at the Emirates Stadium.

On the international stage, Adams was also reborn, albeit not for long. He has represented England at three World Championships, captaining the international team at Venables in 1996 before Keegan handed him the armband again in 2000. However, less than a year later, a defeat to Germany not only ended Keegan's tenure, but Adams also opted to retire from the national team to better focus on the club. As Adams turned 30, injuries began to plague him, but in 2002 he celebrated another double. Prior to retiring, he made 669 appearances for the Gunners, scoring 48 goals.

Vieira has since been the closest to Adams as a leader, and although both Thierry Henry and Bergkamp have earned legendary status in north London, their stories still can't compare to that of a man who has devoted his life to Arsenal.

Bergkamp and Thierry Henry are both geniuses on the football pitch, and they are still fully engaged in the game even if they are already artists on the pitch, while Adams is a mortal with all his flaws and shortcomings, but his resurgence after sliding into the abyss has made the infatuated football 'fans' feel extremely happy.

In the eyes of the Arsenal people, Adams is so missed, they respect and love the captain immensely, and in Adams's body, it is Arsenal's blood that flows.

In view of the relationship between Arsenal and Manchester United, Adams came to Old Trafford again after seven years, and the duel between Adams and Ferguson in this game is also particularly eye-catching, because some media have reported that Wenger has helped Adams a lot on the road to becoming a manager, Adams has learned a lot from Wenger, and Wenger has also guided Adams, so this game is also considered a confrontation between Wenger's disciples and Ferguson.

※※※※※※※

It was Tony Adams' first appearance at Old Trafford after retiring as a player, and Manchester United's fans welcomed the Arsenal man!

That's right, it's Arsenal, and although Tony Adams is now the manager of Portsmouth, Manchester United fans still regard this person as an Arsenal man, an Arsenal man whose name Arsenal is written all over his bones, both in his bone marrow and in his blood!

Before the start of the game, Tony Adams stood in the away team's dugout on the sidelines, and the camera gave a close-up of the Portsmouth young coach, and when Tony Adams appeared on the big screen, the whole stadium suddenly erupted in huge boos, overwhelming boos. The boos were louder than the boos they had ever heard out on the radio, and louder than the boos they had ever received!

Seven years on, Tony Adams is once again on the turf at Old Trafford, but this time he has taken off his shirt. I changed into a suit. But the treatment he received in this stadium has not changed, not at all.

The corners of Tony Adams' mouth squirmed, and his heart was surging.

He knows that for a person like him, for him as an Arsenal man, such a behavior of Manchester United football 'fans' is the greatest courtesy to him! This is the respect for an opponent who has been fighting against Manchester United for 19 years!

That's right, it's respect!

Manchester United fans show their respect for the legendary captain of their sworn enemy, you take off your shirt and put on your suit, you are still the same Adams, the Adams we hate, our opponent Adams!

An opponent. There is no higher level of treatment than this.

"That's cool. Yang Fan said that he was attracted to all the attention of such a scene. For a player, after he retired, he was still treated so courteously by his sworn enemy 'fans', this is the greatest affirmation of his entire career!

He wondered if he would be treated like this if he retired in the future, or if he went to a certain stadium again for some reason?!

At the very least, if I appeared on Portsmouth territory, it should be like this.

Yang Fan forgot about it, the current Portsmouth only has hatred for him, no respect, if he appears in Portsmouth's territory, it is estimated that his personal safety will not be guaranteed.

The kind of treatment that Adams is receiving today can only emerge from the kind of sworn enemy relationship that has lasted for ten years. For example, the captain of AC Milan, Maldini, may also be treated in this way when he appears at the Meazza Stadium.

※※※※※※※

When shaking hands before the game, Yang Fan could feel the very unfriendly eyes of the Portsmouth players, and when they shook hands, they were harder than one by one. Of course, the same is true for the United players when they shake hands with Diop and Campbell. There has long been a fire between the players on both sides.

After the start of this game, there was no temptation, and the game fell into a white-hot competition at the beginning.

This also surprised the commentators, Manchester United put into attack from the beginning of the game, which did not surprise them, Manchester United has such strength and confidence, but Portsmouth actually did not defend anymore, and Manchester United started an offensive battle, which surprised them.

"Yang Fan!'Shoot' 'goal'! Blocked by the defender! Tevez 'shoot' again! Saved! Corner kick!"

From the corner, Ferdinand's header was crossed, and Yang Fan nodded the ball into the 'goal' from behind, but the ball was high over the crossbar due to interference from Portsmouth defender Campbell, and there was no threat.

After the start of the game, Yang Fan had significantly more opportunities to get the ball than other players, and it seemed that his teammates were helping him score goals. However, depending on the situation, Yang Fan has to work harder if he wants to score. ”

Portsmouth and Manchester United fought against Manchester United in the game, which is not to say that they don't want to defend, on the contrary, Portsmouth is very timely to defend, especially focusing on Yang Fan's marking, they basically ensure that at least two people can defend Yang Fan, and when necessary, they will take foul tactics, anyway, they will not let Yang Fan take the ball comfortably.

"It seems that Portsmouth has made up their minds not to let Yang Fan score. "Mortenson watched the game for ten minutes and came to this conclusion.

The camera gave Yang Fan a close-up, just now, after he received a pass from Scholes in the midfield, he just pulled the ball and turned around to see Diop's face, Yang Fan suddenly accelerated, passed the old opponent, and then fell to the ground, this is another Portsmouth player rushed up from the side and shoveled him to the ground. stopped Manchester United's quick attack, and did not foul, shoveled the football first, only because the action was slightly bigger, and brought Yang Fan down...... Of course, this is also a deliberate effort by the Portsmouthers, to teach Yang Fan a lesson as much as possible while ensuring that he does not eat cards. Yang Fan got up, glanced at the Portsmouth player coldly, spat on the ground, and then a smile rose at the corner of his mouth.
