In the Premier League, the confrontation between red and blue, the battle between red and red has always been the main theme, and among the many confrontation battles, the "red and red battle" between Arsenal and Manchester United has always been the most eye-catching existence in the Premier League and even European football, and is called the "national derby" of the Premier League. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After the establishment of the Premier League, Manchester United was infinitely glorious and extremely strong in the league, and in that era, although there were many strong teams, but when it came to being able to contend with it, it was only Arsene Wenger's Arsenal.

Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson are close rivals, while Arsenal and Manchester United are naturally rivals. Keane, Ryan Giggs, Neville brothers, David Beckham, Sheringham...... These names were the most shining presence of Manchester United in that era, and Arsenal did not fall behind, Vieira, Henry, Pire, Bergkamp...... These players also hold up the backbone of Arsenal.

In the 21st century, the Premier League is dominated by two powers, and this fierce rivalry spreads to either club. Although Manchester United gained more than Arsenal in terms of titles and accolades, it is undeniable that Arsenal were indeed the only team that could compete with Manchester United at that time.

However, with the gradual decline of Arsenal, such a confrontation has slowly become less exciting, but it is still one of the most high-profile games in the Premier League.

And now, time has passed, or feng shui takes turns, Arsenal has risen strongly again under the leadership of Qin Shou, but Manchester United is not there, falling into the throes of the "post-Ferguson era", the situation of the two teams has been reversed, and now Arsenal is in full swing, God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, and Manchester United is stormy.

But in any case, the "national derby" between Arsenal and Manchester United still attracts the attention of countless fans, and everyone is full of expectations for this game.

As in any derby in any country in the world, there may be differences in the quality of the two teams, but no one will admit it in a derby, so Arsenal and Manchester United are in a different situation, but the game is bound to be full of sparks and passion.

Of course, before this game began, more people were still more optimistic about Arsene Wenger's side, for no other reason, but it is enough to show that Arsenal are still unbeaten in the league, and their attacking firepower is extremely ferocious, often able to produce big results, and they are currently second in the league table, a full head of Manchester United by ten places.

As for Manchester United, in addition to the three-game winning streak at the beginning of the season, the next few games were played very badly, and even the two games won were one-goal small victories, and the process was extremely difficult.

In comparison with these two, it is clear who is in better shape and who has a greater chance of winning.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

At a time when fans and media across England were talking about the game and high hopes for Arsenal, the time finally came to Manchester for the weekend.

Qin Shou is no stranger to this city. He hasn't been to Old Trafford, but he's played against Manchester United and his first spell at Arsenal was against Manchester United, his first Premier League game and one of his most memorable. He scored two goals in that game, the first from a free-kick to equalise and the second from a long-range shot over 40 metres away, which caught United's goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar off guard and helped us complete the comeback.

Although the game was played at the Emirates Stadium at that time, Qin Shou had played against Manchester United players and did not lack knowledge of this team, even if a few years had passed, many players at that time were no longer in the Manchester United team.

And the city, he has also been there, and when he played for Atletico Madrid, they met the city's other team, Manchester City.

At that time, Qin Shou could think that he would come here again to compete one day in the future. What he didn't expect was that when he came here again, he put on the Arsenal shirt again.

The scenes of that year are still in front of us, and a long time has passed, and many things have changed beyond recognition. It's like back then, even if they were playing at home, everyone thought they wouldn't be a match for Manchester United. And now, even though Arsenal are away from home, most people still think they will win the game.

This is the way things are in the world, everything is changing, and all people are moving forward.

The same is true for him Qin Shou. Back then, he was just a rookie who was just a fledgling and no one cared about, and now, he has returned with honor.

Of course, Qin Shou feels that the only thing that hasn't changed is just the heart that wants to win and never stop - a few years ago, he was able to help the team overcome the powerful Manchester United in adversity, and now, he can still do it!

The bus drove forward slowly, and Qin Shou sat by the window, staring at the receding scenery outside the window in a daze, without saying a word.

It was afternoon, but the sky was getting darker, and there were some confetti and fallen leaves on the ground, but they were constantly lifted by the wind, and the glass windows were also covered with a layer of mist, and slowly, there were sparse droplets of water falling on the car windows.

Walket sat beside Qin Shou, looked at Qin Shou for a while, and looked out of the window for a while, he was an idle character, after entering Manchester, Qin Shou looked out the window silently, without saying a word, which made him feel a little hairy, and he was stunned for a while, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he spoke.

"What the hell are you looking at, Qin?"

Qin Shou turned his head and glanced at Walcott, his eyes were out of the window again, he stretched out his hand and touched the glass window, he wanted to touch the raindrops stuck to the window, but the glass blocked his hand, and only a cold feeling came into his heart.

"It's raining."

“……”

Walcott was about to go crazy, and he was not blind, so he could see the wind outside the car, and there were droplets of water dripping down. But isn't that a normal thing? The weather in London has always been bad, and Manchester is naturally not much better, and there are few cities in the UK with good weather conditions. But what does this have to do with you being in a daze?

"I think it was raining that day, right?"

Qin Shou suddenly spoke again.

"That day? Which day? Walcott was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly reacted.

Qin Shou's past at Arsenal is clear to him, if he is not mistaken, Qin Shou's first Premier League appearance, facing Manchester United. At that time, he was just a newcomer, coming off the bench, but he unexpectedly became the protagonist of the game, and his two goals brought the originally backward Arsenal back to life, and at the same time, the leading Manchester United had to swallow the bitter pill of defeat.

Thinking of this, Walcott was silent.

People are nostalgic for the old complex, the first time they walked on their own legs, the first time they scored 100 points on the exam, the first time they made friends, the first time they fell in love, and ...... Many, many more, any first time, will be impressive.

Walket still remembers the first time he played in the top professional league, so Qin Shou is the same, and he is also full of emotion for his first time in the Premier League.

And coincidentally, today's game is also another kind of "first" - Qin Shou played against the Red Devils Manchester United for the first time after returning to the Premier League.

Coincidentally, today's weather, like a few years ago, is also cloudy, with low rain.

So it's no wonder that Qin Shouhui inexplicably fell into his memories.

Walcott didn't know what to say, such a Qin Shou made him feel a little strange. Fortunately, Qin Shou quickly showed a smile on his face, he shook his head at Walcoat, and said, "Don't worry, Theo, I just thought of something, I'm fine." ”

"I know how it feels." Walcoat responded, "I remember the first time I played professionally, but when I went back, a lot of things changed, the opponents in that fight, a lot of them were gone, everything was different. ”

"yes, everything is different." Qin Shou sighed faintly, "Many people are gone, and even the people sitting in that position have changed their appearances......"

Speaking of this, Qin Shou smiled again: "But so what? Those who have gone are always gone, and those who have left have always left. Manchester United is still Manchester United, Arsenal is still Arsenal. And our original intention will not change, and that is to win! ”

"The original intention remains the same? Still a victory? ”

Walcot muttered to himself, wanting to say something more, Qin Shou had already closed his eyes and rested.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

It was eight o'clock in the evening, but at seven o'clock, the rain that had been sparse finally gathered enough strength to turn into bean-sized raindrops that spread across the city and all over Old Trafford.

Despite the pouring rain, Old Trafford was packed, with fans in raincoats and umbrellas on all sides, looking like mushrooms of all colours blooming in this historic football stadium.

The rain was too heavy and could affect the game, so the referee on duty was hesitant to postpone the game, but after half past seven, the rain gradually became lighter, and although it was still rainy, it did not have the previous trend of pouring down.

So the game was still on schedule, when the time came to eight o'clock, the two teams were already standing on the field, the referee looked at the watch, blew the whistle for the start of the game, this "national derby" in the rain, officially began.
