Chapter 132: Meet Van Persie Again
When talking about two of United's most dangerous players, especially Van Bizhuang, Wenger also gave his own views and attitudes.
'Van is a phenomenal top player, there's no denying that, and despite being part of Manchester United, that's what it is, he always does things that seem impossible and often steps up when it counts...... He's had a staggering run of results in La Liga, and there are suspicions that he won't be able to really play to his full potential after moving to the Premier League, but with half a season going on, looking at Manchester United's rankings and Van in the scorers' charts, the facts show that he is the best player in both Iberia and England. ”
'Of course, he's a headache for any opponent and how we can limit it is important for us and that's going to be a big factor in this game. …… But we're not going to do anything about him, my lads are good, we're good at the team, and like before, we're going to play our football, because football is a team sport and if we do well enough, then there will be a good result. ”
Arsene Wenger has made it clear that Van Bizhuang is an extremely dangerous figure, but his side are not going to be too targeted, which is very much in line with Wenger's temperament, and Arsenal are truly unique in the technically rough world of English football, focusing only on doing their own thing and using their football philosophy to fight for what they want.
But in fact, Wenger has a trace of unspeakable regret for Fan Bizhuang in addition to jealousy.
After Manchester United and Manchester City started the battle for Van Bizhuang, Wenger quickly noticed Van Bizhuang who was still in the small city at the time, and he also realized that he was a super player with unlimited potential, and then his Arsenal also joined the "Van Bizhuang race".
For such a player who can improve the team by at least one notch, Wenger naturally does not want to miss it. And in his opinion, Fan Bizhuang's style of play is obviously more suitable for Arsenal, La Liga is originally a league that focuses on technology and tactics, and the football style of the small city Villarreal is also biased towards passing control, which is very compatible with Arsenal's football philosophy.
But it's a pity that in terms of financial resources, Arsenal can't compare with Manchester City, and in recent years, the record and the honors achieved are not as good as Manchester United.
The final result is exactly like this, Fan Bizhuang first transferred to Real Madrid, and the team he chose in the Premier League was not Arsenal, perhaps in his heart, Arsenal has never entered his sights - Fan Bizhuang went to Manchester United, and looking at the new season Manchester United on all fronts, it is enough to show how much the arrival of Fan Bizhuang has brought to this team.
Sometimes Arsene Wenger even thinks that if he insists on it a little more in the summer, the club is willing to give him more support and more money in his hands...... So, would Van Bizhuang be willing to come to Arsenal? If Van Bizhuang becomes a member of the Gunners, even if a crazy winning streak like Manchester United is not a luxury, at least, there is still hope for the league title, right?
However, this can only be imagined in the heart, and now Van Bizhuang is a member of Manchester United, and against the opponents his team is about to face, they can only be a fierce battle on the field.
Although there is some uncertainty in his heart, Wenger is still unwilling to weaken his majesty, although his remarks are flat, but he still shows confidence, he firmly believes that no team can not be beaten, although Manchester United is strong today, but his team is not bad, they have a fight.
……
Ferguson's response to Arsene Wenger's remarks was a bit aggressive, which is also in line with the tough temper of the old Scottish man.
'The Frenchman is right, in line with his opinion, I think my team is in a very good state, we are always hungry for victory, of course, it's not just in words, we try to achieve it with both feet. That's the most important reason why Manchester United have been able to get all the way to where they are today. ”
'We are confident we can beat Arsenal and a new record is just around the corner, so why shouldn't we achieve it?'
Facing the camera, Ferguson confidently showed his and the team's winning spirit.
If it had been a few years ago, in the face of such an aggressive posture of his old rival, Wenger would have unceremoniously counterattacked with the sharpest words, but obviously, the current French coach has no such thoughts, he just responded through the media without saltiness: "Let's watch after the game, I hope it will be a good game, and of course, I hope Ferguson will not punch himself in the mouth for celebrating the victory in advance." ”
……
The game was played promptly at seven o'clock in the evening of the 14th.
The game was still Manchester United's home stadium, and with half an hour to go, the stands of the entire Old Trafford stadium were already full, and the sea of red rolled in any corner of the stadium, cheering, shouting, singing, and all kinds of sounds made the whole stadium look extremely noisy and noisy.
This game will undoubtedly be of great significance to Manchester United fans, as if they were to win this game, they would have won 15 consecutive league games, leaving Arsenal tied with them in a glorious position.
And such a terrifying new record is obviously very much in line with Manchester United's status as the Premier League hegemon, which gives many English teams another reason to revere Manchester United.
Of course, there is another point, that is, there is a bit of "showing off your wealth" mentality.
At that time, Liverpool was in a slump, but Arsenal rose to prominence and became the only team that could compete with Manchester United.
Arsenal once stepped on the shoulders of Manchester United to win the league championship, and also set an unbeaten record that Manchester United looked up to, which made many Manchester United fans unhappy in their hearts at the same time, it is inevitable that there will be some envy and reverence, but the former opponent is now on the road of decline, and the strength of the two sides is now developing in different directions, which is actually a very complex emotion, but it must be admitted that it is really refreshing to watch yourself live well and others are not satisfactory - Especially Arsenal is Manchester United's old rival, and their lives are prosperous, which will inevitably have the desire to show off.
"Fan! Fan!! Fan!!! ”
"Your Majesty! Please lead us forward! A new record, right at your feet! ”
"Hooray, Van ! Long live, Your Majesty! ”
The hustle and bustle culminated in the bustle of both players as they showed up on the pitch to warm up, and Van Bizhuang was undoubtedly the most sought after player at Old Trafford today, with fans holding up his portraits and posters, chanting his name, and exclaiming and admiring like a tidal wave.
Every time Fan Bizhuang kicked the ball out or looked up at the stands, the cheers became even louder.
"Your current popularity is enough to make fans up to eighty years old and down to two or three years old crazy!"
On the court, Kaka said to Fan Bizhuang with some envy.
Fan Bizhuang raised his head and looked at the stands in the distance, where banners and slogans were standing and fluttering in the wind, "Fan, you are the best!" "Mr. Golden Ball, Fan!" "The world is at your feet!" etc., such words can be seen everywhere. Fan Bizhuang waved his hand, which caused a high-decibel scream, and then he turned around and shook his long hair very coquettishly, and said with a smile, "No way, it's just a good game, people are still so handsome, not to mention fans, sometimes when I get up in the morning and look in the mirror, I am almost stunned by my own handsomeness." ”
“……”
Kaka felt that he was about to be completely defeated by this friend's cheekiness, threw him a roll of the eyes, and said viciously, "You have to be scared!" ”
"Hahaha!"
Fan Bizhuang smiled and hugged the shoulders of his angry friend, and the two exchanged a few words before ending the warm-up.
Soon it was time for the game to start, and as is customary, before the game began, players from both sides lined up to greet each other, and Fan Bizhuang stood at the back of the line, slowly walking forward, shaking hands and clapping hands with every Arsenal player who passed by.
For this Arsenal, Fan Bizhuang is unfamiliar, after all, he played in La Liga before, and he didn't have much intersection with Arsenal, and he didn't play against him in Europe, so there was no way to talk about "friendship".
But fortunately, there is another "old acquaintance", that is, Arsenal's Dutch center Robin. Van Persie.
It is not appropriate to say that it is an old acquaintance, the two have only had one contact in the World Cup before, not friends, it is more accurate to say that it is "enemy", that is, in that encounter, Van Bizhuang's Spanish team defeated Van Persie's Dutch team, and because of this victory, Spain lifted the Hercules Cup, while the Dutch team could only pass by the world champion.
At the national team level, Fan Bizhuang became a cruel executioner, but he didn't expect that the two would meet again in club competitions so soon.
Of course, if he could, Fan Bizhuang was still willing to play the role of "executioner" - victory was his, and defeat was ...... Whoever wants it wants to go, he doesn't want it anyway.
"Fan!"
Van Persie walked in front of Fan Bizhuang, and there was no tension and anger, the summer World Cup final has become a thing of the past for Van Persie, he smiled and nodded with Fan Bizhuang, stretched out his hand and said, "We met again so soon, we played against each other in the World Cup, and now ...... Let's fight again, this time, I don't want to lose to you again. ”
"I don't want to lose."
Fan Bizhuang also smiled and reached out to shake the other party.
