No. 672: The strongest obstacle to the fifty-eight unbeaten record!
The Gunners fans broke out in a cold sweat after a difficult retreat from White Hart Lane, and their unbeaten run was almost ended by Tottenham, which highlighted the importance of Chen Fan's free-kick.
After the game, Chen Fan and Van Persie, who shot and passed twice, scored the highest score of the game - nine points.
Bale received Tottenham's highest score of eight points.
In the space of almost a month, Arsenal have had a mediocre record in all competitions, drawing several games in a row, and their lead in the Premier League has narrowed to five points.
The Guardian believes that Arsenal's success has a lot to do with the depth of their bench, with the Dutch racing to the pitch with little time to rest.
The Dutch duo have been very strong even if they are supermen, but the rest of the Arsenal players are just ordinary people and they are tired.
The Manchester City Evening News begins the countdown to end Arsenal's unbeaten run.
"When AC Milan went unbeaten in 58 games in Serie A, they were capable of dominating the whole of Europe, with the Dutch trio and Costa Curta in midfield and Maldini and Baresi at the back.
What does Arsenal have?
Who else are they world-class stars besides the Trident?
Judging by recent form, if it weren't for the fact that the Dutch duo were still strong, their unbeaten run in the Premier League would have been ended long ago. Arsenal's seemingly luxurious ship is about to fall!
The end of their unbeaten streak could come tomorrow! ”
As the mouthpiece of Manchester United said, Arsenal are tired and crumbling, but in the next three Premier League games, they have stubbornly survived!
In the fifteenth round, Arsenal, who were playing away, defeated Aston Villa 4-2 and refreshed the unbeaten record to 55 games!
In this game, Manchester United made a strong recovery, defeated Blackburn Rovers 7-1 at home, won four consecutive victories, and caught up with Manchester City in points, and had the momentum to overtake in one fell swoop!
Manchester City suffered a narrow defeat at the foot of Stoke City in this round, and the gap between them and Arsenal widened to eight points.
In the 16th round, Arsenal, who returned to their home stadium, defeated Fulham 3-1, and Cesc Fabregas scored a hat trick!
Arsenal extend their unbeaten run to 56 games!
Manchester United, who are playing away, defeated Blackpool 3-2 to win five in a row, surpassing Manchester City on goal difference and ranking second in the standings!
The points gap between them and Arsenal is eight points.
In the seventeenth round, Arsenal, which played half of the main team, scored one goal at home against Stoke City, setting a new unbeaten record to 57 games.
In this game, the Dutch duo came on as a second-half substitute and they did not score.
The highlight of this story was Chelsea's home win against Manchester United, with the Blues winning 2-1 at home to sweep away their recent decline.
It was City's best chance to regain second place in the table, but they were beaten 2-1 at home to Everton.
With this victory, Arsenal opened up the gap between them and second-placed Manchester United, with eleven points.
They have almost secured the Premier League halfway title.
Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that this small victory has allowed them to break their unbeaten record to 57 games, just one short of AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten record!
When the whole of Europe was shocked, people were shocked to find that the London press did not make a big statement.
Why is that?
When they checked the table for the next round of the Premier League, they found the reason!
Arsenal's opponent in the next round is Manchester United!
And it's an away game!
The Red Devils have seen a strong resurgence in all competitions, winning five in a row in the Premier League, qualifying for the Champions League and continuing to progress in the League Cup and FA Cup.
They suffered their first defeat in recent times in the last round, a narrow defeat at the feet of Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
As far as the scene is concerned, in that game, the two sides were five or five, so Manchester United lost and was not criticized by the media.
Ancelotti breathed a sigh of relief, and it was a life-saving victory.
The Blues started the season on a five-game winning streak but were beaten away at Manchester City in the sixth round and then at home to local rivals Arsenal.
Soon after, they suffered a home upset, a three-goal defeat at the feet of Everton, leaving Carlo Ancelotti in the crater of a volcano with his position in jeopardy.
Someone even started counting down to him after class.
It has been suggested that the home game against Manchester United will determine whether he can still sit in the Blues for one game.
If Chelsea can't win the Red Devils, he'll be sacked!
As a result, Chelsea won a hard-fought victory over the Red Devils, and he temporarily dismissed the opposition and continued to sit in the manager's position.
……
The Reds have played against the London duo in a row and it will be a great test for them.
"Beat them, close the gap, and make a big stride!"
The Manchester City Evening News, the mouthpiece of the Red Devils, was in a morale-boosting run ahead of the Chelsea game, only to be beaten by the Blues.
Then the home game against Arsenal cannot afford to lose.
And in this game, the Red Devils have a more important mission, which is to end Arsenal's unbeaten record in the Premier League.
If the Gunners can get out of the Theatre of Dreams, they will equal AC Milan's god-like record of 58 games unbeaten!
How could Manchester United let Arsenal step on themselves and equalle Milan's record.
The Manchester City Evening News said: "There is nothing more to say, we have only one goal at the Theatre of Dreams, which is to beat Arsenal and end their unbeaten run!"
To hell with the 58-game unbeaten record! ”
Manchester City Life said: "The historical mission that Liverpool and Chelsea have not completed, it is up to us to complete!"
Since God has chosen Manchester United to do the job, then we will take him on the shoulders. Looking at the Premier League, only we can take on this responsibility.
If this were a challenge, the Red Devils would not hesitate to accept it and would do it beautifully! ”
Manchester City Business said: "This game is not about Premier League laurels, it's about glory, it's just about football faith. Sir Alex Ferguson's job is to continue to uphold the Red Devil faith and defeat all the powerful enemies in front of him!
If this is a test, how can the soldiers of the Red Devils ever be afraid of a test! ”
Manchester City's media rallied to cheer Manchester United on.
Before Alex Ferguson took over Manchester United, Manchester United could only be regarded as a strong team in England, and the real ruler was Liverpool.
With the arrival of Alex Ferguson, Manchester United's level and quality continued to rise, and by 1999 they had achieved the first treble in England's history!
A dynasty was officially established, and Manchester United replaced Liverpool as the representative of English football.
Ferguson's greatest credit is not how many trophies he has brought to the Red Devils, but how much football has become a belief for the Red Devils and their fans.
His Manchester United is hot-blooded and scrappy, and he will not admit defeat until the last minute.
The '99 Champions League final was a microcosm of this, as the Red Devils scored twice in the final two minutes of the game to go from a goal down to a one-goal lead before winning the Champions League with a miraculous victory over the Bundesliga giants.
Manchester United were beaten twice by Arsenal in the Premier League last season, which was completely unacceptable to the proud Manchester United fans, who had long been holding back their strength to beat Arsenal and regain their pride.
Now, the moment has finally arrived!
