If the previous three big wins still made many people think that Arsenal would only pick soft persimmons, then this big victory at Old Trafford completely shocked the world.

United have lost 7-0 in their history, having lost 7-0 to Blackburn, Villa and Wolves by the same score in 1926, 1930 and 1931, which is a shame for Manchester United fans that will never be erased.

But no matter how shameful it is, it was almost a century ago, and the most recent fiasco has to be traced back to 78 years ago, compared to the bloody defeat in front of them, it has long faded in everyone's minds.

Today, there is only one game that people remember, and that is at Old Trafford, Manchester United were bloodied by their sworn rivals Arsenal, with a bright red 0-7, as if the broken hearts of the Red Devils fans were unbearable.

Lord Ferguson's anger was just one of the chaos that manifested itself in the aftermath of United's heavy losses, and on the night of the game, at least 800 Red Devils loyalists surrounded the home of owner Eduardo with the flag held aloft, chanting outside Eduardo's residence: "Victory, no vampires!" ”

This is the most violent protest against the Eduardo family's inability to buy big-name stars due to the team's inability to buy big-name stars due to their frequent sucking of blood from Manchester United in recent years.

In the eyes of many fans, it is precisely because Eduardo uses the money earned by the team from the market every year to repay the high loan he left when he bought Manchester United, that the team has no money to strengthen its strength. To this day, the team is still relying on veterans such as Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes to support themselves, and Arsenal didn't even play their trump card this time, and Manchester United was already down 0:3 at half-time, what does this mean?

This shows that Manchester United has completely lost its competitiveness in the Premier League!

For an ambitious club at the top of the Premier League's food chain, such a situation is simply unsatisfactory to the fans.

If it weren't for the prestige that Lord Ferguson has accumulated in Manchester United for so many years, it is estimated that just this game, his seat would have been hot.

But that wasn't the saddest thing for United's supporters, who suffered the most was the subsequent flood of criticism and praise from rivals Arsenal in the media.

These media seem to have forgotten, just the morning before. They are also in the newspapers, in the news. It is conclusively described that Arsenal will only bully weak teams, and they will definitely show their true form when they meet a team like Manchester United, how can they achieve dazzling results in the Premier League if they have not practiced the formation at all?

But only one night later. The tone of these media outlets has all changed. Now on their front page headlines. Arsenal have become the biggest favourites to win the Premier League this season, while Manchester United has been ruthlessly refuted by them. The Charity Shield is their final glow, and after winning the cursed cup title, they are doomed to miss out on the Premier League this season, like the tragic champions of the past few decades.

People are herd creatures, and while some smart people can see that this game is a big surprise, most people are still influenced by the pessimistic rhetoric of the media, who believe that United's season has ended after this game, and now it's Arsenal's time!

But how did Arsenal create an era?

In 4 games, they scored 21 goals in a frenzy, an average of 5.02 goals per game, and you don't need to check the information to know that this is definitely the strongest start in the history of the Premier League, and there is no one.

Looking at Europe, it is estimated that there is no other league team with such a strong start.

Of course, it's hard to say in the world, like some leagues in Africa, it is possible to score more than ten or twenty goals in one game, and no one can say how many goals those teams can score in four games, which is impossible to count and compare.

But none of this matters, the important thing is that Arsenal, who have been looked down by the media before, think that they have been useless for a summer, why were they able to achieve such dazzling results in the early stage of the league?

There is no doubt that the change of formation is the key, as is the play of the stars.

But that group of reporters couldn't understand how a team practiced hard for more than a month in the new season 433, but it was temporarily changed to 451 during the game, how did they become popular? It's like if you hid in the mountains and practiced the big sword for 20 years, but after you got out of the customs, you suddenly danced the sword, and as a result, you became the leader of the martial arts alliance, isn't this scientific!

Is it really that if a man is a sword, he is invincible?

With the tactical literacy of this group of reporters, it is obvious that they cannot find the revelations they need from the formation, so they can only focus on the performance of star players.

There is no doubt that in the process of Arsenal's best start in the history of the Premier League, Descartes, who scored 10 goals alone, became the focus of media attention around the world.

4 games, 10 goals, such a terrifying efficiency, even Pele has never reached that year, there are many teams whose forwards can't even score this number in a year, but Descartes only took four weeks to complete it, what kind of efficiency is this?

Just last season, when Descartes scored an unprecedented double peak of 40+ goals and 20+ assists, people thought that this was the maximum limit that a player could do, and Descartes even beat Messi in the selection of the best footballer in the world for a time, ranking first in public opinion.

But no one thought that just one month after the start of the new season, Descartes had already completed a quarter of the goals of last season, according to this efficiency, by the time the FA Cup, Champions League, League Cup and other games started, wouldn't he have to play more than 40 games a year and score more than 100 goals in total?

Nima, this is going against the rhythm of the sky!

Before Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo raced to set new goals, 100 goals was a very unattainable record for a player, even for a team, and the highest record in Serie A for the season so far in the top five leagues was held by Torino. They scored 125 goals in the 1947-1948 season, Aston Villa in the Premier League scored 129 goals in the 1930-1931 season, Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga scored 101 goals in the 71-72 season, Real Madrid scored 107 goals in the 1987-88 season in La Ligue 1, and the record holder in Ligue 1 was the now Atletico de Paris, who have now fallen into Group D of the French Championship, who scored a total of 118 goals in the 59-60 season.

From the above data, we can also see that it is quite difficult for even a team to break 100 goals, let alone a player?

Could it be that this Italian kid has really grown from a much-anticipated little monster to a behemoth Godzilla?

All the media began to try to analyse why Descartes had such a hot start to the season and how he is doing now. If the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year selection start now. Messi may have any chance, you know, just before the start of this season, Messi was far ahead of the other candidates with the aftermath of the "six crowns". Especially after last season's events in which Descartes abused journalists. Messi looks like getting these two awards is already a sure thing. But who would have thought that Descartes would get up so quickly after falling?

Just looking at the performances of the two of them at the beginning of the season, I am afraid that no one will vote for the Argentine. After all, La Liga starts two weeks later than the Premier League, and Barcelona haven't regained their dominance from last season in their first two games.

Some people may say that Barcelona is staying and preparing for the sprint in the second half of the season, but look at Arsenal, after they "wasted" a summer, they still swept the Premier League with a surging and unstoppable momentum, and even the bitter rival Manchester United for many years was beaten miserably, such a murderous performance, who can resist it in the second half of the season?

All of this can no doubt be attributed to their number one striker, Descartes, whose unstoppable performance up front has put Arsenal on the ground and knocked out the game in just four games, overturning the perception of the Gunners as the biggest laughing stock of the season.

Can't such a player win the Ballon d'Or and the favor of World Footballer of the Year?

But you should never underestimate the discipline of the media, and it is in the midst of such a wave of praise that some people have found another way to look at things, and they seem to have found some kind of "sufficient" evidence to support their arguments: Arsenal's strength has nothing to do with Descartes!

Yes, the evidence they cite at first glance looks like that: in the four games of the new season for Arsenal, there was not much difference between their performances in the first and second halves. Against Everton, they conceded in the first half of the season, but at half-time the score was still 2-1, with Arsenal leading; Against Bolton, they also led 1-0 in the first half and controlled the situation, and Descartes' hat-trick in the second half could only be regarded as the icing on the cake at best, not a blessing in the snow; And when playing Portsmouth next, in the face of the iron bucket formation of Pompey's army, Arsenal also punctured Allardyce's bubble in the first half, although the score of 1:0 does not look remarkable, but Portsmouth, which has been beaten without fighting back, is obviously unable to reverse such a huge "moat"; Until the game against Manchester United, it was even simpler, the classic car that refused to put down the shelf and still tried to play against Arsenal, only in the first half with a three-goal disadvantage, in most people's opinion, in fact, the second half of Descartes or not has no impact on the overall situation.

Does this also illustrate the question: in the position of the forward arrow, with Van Persie, there is no longer a need for Descartes?

Van Persie is of course a good player, "Who can immediately slash the sword, for me General Fan", such a domineering hymn was not written by Robinxia himself, but when he turned the tide in the future, Zheng Zheng Arsenal was in the middle of fire and water, and the Gunners' fans spontaneously dedicated it to him.

And in the 451 single arrow, he doesn't seem to be inferior to Descartes, who continued his good form from last season at the start of the season, and although he didn't have the crazy goal rate of Descartes, he was actually good enough as a player who was up front to create chances for his teammates.

It can be seen that the reason why Arsenal has performed so well this season is actually because more players have played their form, and not the credit of Descartes alone, and even to some extent, Descartes is already a dispensable player. His presence could also influence Arsene Wenger's decision to make substitutions in midfield.

Especially when players such as Robin van Persie are playing so well, Wenger will also bring in Descartes on time every game, will this cause a disagreement in the dressing room? If players such as Robin van Persie are unhappy because of their playing time, will there be infighting within the Arsenal squad as a result? If there is real infighting, will Arsene Wenger be able to settle it?

In the eyes of these media, Descartes is not only not the hero of Arsenal, he may even become a time bomb for Arsenal, and it is precisely because of his existence that Arsenal's dressing room is buried with deep hidden dangers. Once Van Persie, Bendtner and other players got into trouble because of playing time. Arsenal's good fortune this season is likely to collapse as a result, and Wenger's painstaking 451 formation will be forced to change at that time.

In other words, Descartes is the hidden cancer of the Arsenal team!

As soon as this report came out. There was an immediate uproar around the world. There are supporters. There are naysayers, and for most of those who haven't had their heads pumped out, these reports are simply nonsense. A player who has scored 10 goals in 4 games can be a cancer for a team? Boss, trouble me with such a tumor!

And for those who were not accustomed to Descartes in the first place, such reports undoubtedly appealed to their appetites and made them happy, among which Alvarez, the editor-in-chief of Le Monde, was a hardcore pioneer.

The contradiction between Alvarez and Descartes is well known to the world, after the Champions League last season, he deliberately provoked Descartes, and was scolded by Descartes who was angry, as a public star, Descartes's behavior is indeed a little abnormal, but Alvarez's disgusting remarks and ugly face are indeed unbearable, maybe born to disgust Descartes, or maybe to help the star Messi he supports regain the upper hand in the World Footballer of the Year, he wrote another article this time, The finger was pointed at the dressing rooms of Descartes and Arsenal.

"As we all know, he (Descartes) is a very possessive player, Henry talked to me when he came to Barcelona, he (Henry) could see the ambition in the eyes of the little guy at a glance, and sure enough, just a year later, he squeezed out Adebayor, who performed very well in the team, and then took advantage of the conflict between Galla and the third captain Toure to successfully get the captain's (third captain) armband, and then he disregarded the seniority and rules of the dressing room. With Arsene Wenger regaining the position of the team's first captain, why did a young guy who was less than 20 years old (Descartes was only 19 years old when he was appointed first captain) become the captain of a century-old club like Arsenal? I talked to Francisco and he told me that it was because of this guy's presence that he felt that his position was coveted and challenged, so he made up his mind to return to Barcelona, you see, this little guy is not a good guy with Chinese in your eyes, he did a lot of small moves in the team's dressing room, according to me, sooner or later there will be problems between him and Van Persie and Bendtner, then Arsenal will definitely be dragged down by infighting, on the surface it seems that Arsenal is now extremely strong, It's set to be a waterloo in the middle of the season. ”

This specious so-called commentary article has been popular with many "Dihei" as soon as it was born, especially the paragraph where Descartes quickly became the first captain in the team, which was "analyzed" and "revealed" by many media, and in the end, they actually put the reason for the departure of Henry and Fabregas to Descartes, implying that if it weren't for his struggle for power in the dressing room, Henry and Xiaofa would not have left Arsenal.

The funny thing is that such a so-called "reveal" article has also been sought after by many Henry and Xiaofa fans, and as a result, in their minds, Descartes has instantly changed from a young and promising popular superstar to a dirty villain with dirty means.

But no one expected that in the face of Alvarez's speculative article, the first person to stand up and refute it was not Descartes himself, but the veteran Henry, who had been transferred to the major leagues in the United States, and on the day after learning the news, Henry published a brief message on his Twitter, saying that "I have never spoken to Alvarez, and all the news he described about Descartes is completely out of his own speculation and has nothing to do with himself."

If Henry had stood up and spoken alone, Mr. Alvarez would have struggled to fight, but he didn't expect it at all. Even Barcelona, which he has always supported, temporarily pumped his back foot at this time, and after his commentary, Xiaofa, who had just transferred from Arsenal to Barcelona this season, stood up and declared directly at the press conference: "I didn't leave because of Descartes or anything, Descartes is a very, very, very good teammate, he is a world-class player, I am honored to play with such a player, as for Mr. Alvarez's remarks." Just his own problem. It has nothing to do with me. ”

These words were clearly made at the behest of the Barcelona club, especially the "very, very, very good" teammate in the paragraph, and Cesc Fabregas used three very in a row to show that he really admired Descartes. This can only mean one thing. That is the Barça club "very, very, very" hoping that they will have the opportunity to be teammates again.

No doubt. It was another overture from Barcelona to Descartes.

Although they have brought in sky-high striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic this season, for Pep Guardiola, he brought in Ibrahimovic to give the team more changes up front. One more style of play, but after Ibrahimovic came to the team, it completely disrupted his season deployment, Ibrahimovic does not defend, this problem is not much to say, the key is that Ibrahimovic loves to hold the ball in attack, whether it is in Juventus or Inter, Ibrahimovic is regarded as the playmaker of the forward line - in this regard, he is really similar to Descartes.

But the same is the ball, Ibrahimovic's ball and Descartes' ball are also very different, that is, about the control of the ball in passing. Ibrahimovic is the kind of player who will always keep the ball at his feet unless a team-mate has a good chance, and most of his passes are towards goal, with little patience for the return pass; Descartes, on the other hand, is different, after several seasons in the Premier League, he has now become the glue of the frontcourt, although his position is a single striker, but many times he will swim between the opponent's back line and the back line, becoming the fulcrum and passing transition of his teammates, he is the kind of player who will handle the ball with the best solution at all times, whether it is forward or backward, as long as the option is beneficial to the team, he will choose which.

is also a forward playmaker, two different styles of play have created a completely different view of the two of Guardiola, in the eyes of Guardiola, Ibrahimovic's style of play is to destroy the balance within the Barcelona team, he alone occupies a lot of possession time, resulting in Barcelona's world-famous Tiki-Taka will pause as soon as he reaches his feet, which also makes Messi, Iniesta and others behind him very uncomfortable, because Barcelona's opportunities are created in running, Ibrahimovic, on the other hand, is more accustomed to using his personal abilities to create opportunities; But Descartes is different, especially after doing a single arrow, Descartes, he is not limited to the position in the penalty area, he will come out frequently and teammates to respond, change positions, he can also find the most reasonable way to deal with the ball for the first time, never let the ball stay too much at his feet, the most important thing is that his sense of smell in front of the goal is better than Ibrahimovic, under the opponent's heavy defense, he can also score 10 goals in 4 games, which is not something that can be done by playing lip service!

So in Guardiola's heart, Descartes is his first choice forever, even if Ibrahimovic spent the club close to $66 million, but it is not suitable or not suitable, haven't you heard, the twisted melon is not sweet, and Guardiola is not also a melon?

Therefore, Fabregas's words were not purely to help Descartes refute Alvarez, and of course it was not to dismantle his own mouthpiece, but Mr. Álvarez's remarks affected Barcelona's recruitment plan, and the club had to stand up and take the initiative to show favor to the target, lest Descartes have a dislike for this guy and the club, and the loss will be big.

Poor Mr. Álvarez has just jumped up for two days, and he has been stabbed in the back by his "former" comrade-in-arms and "now" comrades-in-arms one after another, which is really moldy, and as a result, this time he even hates Barcelona, but his boss is the mouthpiece of Barcelona, what method can he use to retaliate?

Of course, there is a way, you Russell and Guardiola are not all of Barcelona, you are just a chairman, a coach, Lao Tzu will get you off the stage together, see how you are stabbing my chrysanthemum in the back!

But how do you get the president of the club out of office with the head coach? If it were someone else, there would definitely be nothing that could be done. But Alvarez, as a veteran journalist covering Barcelona FC for many years, naturally knows the inner workings of the club very well. Mr. Laporta's resignation was not voluntary, he was unanimously impeached by the management before he finally stepped down, and just before he was impeached, he even made a declaration that he would rather die than "resign" voluntarily!

This is the contradiction within Barcelona, although Laporta is out of class, his power and connections are still there, and his ambitions are still there. As a decorated chairman who helped the club win the triple crown. He couldn't be so willing to be ousted by his own people, and now he needed more people to do things for him and regain the throne he had lost. And themselves. Wasn't that one of those people he needed?

Not to mention how Mr. Álvarez transformed from a "Di Hei" to a "Luo Hei + Gua Hei". In short, his report, although quickly refuted, also caused some trouble for Descartes, but Descartes understood it well. These boring guys just like to provoke celebrities in this way, and once you seriously debate with him, he will really be happy to death, so he doesn't even want to pay attention to this guy, and his eyes are now completely focused on the game that is being held.

This is the fifth round of the Premier League this season, Arsenal, who just played a big game with Manchester United at Old Trafford, ushered in another big team of Manchester City in a blink of an eye, maybe two or even three seasons ago, they could not be called giants, but after Thaksin and Mansour took over, the blue moon Manchester City has indeed initially built the skeleton of a strong team.

They ushered in the new Italian coach Mancini this season, this is a guy who is called "the two biggest winners in life" with Torres, with the impact of the "phonegate" incident on Serie A, Mancini led the Nerazzurri to complete the three consecutive titles of Serie A (of course, there is a championship that is given away by the Football Association at a discount), in the mouth of the Italian media, this is probably the easiest triple championship in the world, because the Nerazzurri at that time was almost invincible in Italy, the former hegemon Juventus and the sworn enemy Milan were hit after the phonegate, It took several years to recover, and Roma, the only one who seemed to be a little bit of a threat to them, faltered due to the financial crisis of the Sensi family, in the words of the Italians, "Inter Milan at that time, even if they sent a monkey as the manager, they could win the championship".

But with the prestigious title of "Serie A triple champion", Mr. Mancini quickly found his new owner after leaving Inter - Mansour, who is not short of money. Mansour has only one request for Mancini: don't be afraid to spend money, I just want to build the best team!

What is the happiest thing about being a football coach? There is no doubt that there is no upper limit to the transfer funds, and the boss asks for no lower limit, and the lucky Mancini, in his first season after coming to England, happened to encounter such happiness to knock on the door.

Tevez, Santa Cruz, Nasri, Barry, Taylor (goalkeeper), this is the 395 million pounds spent by the Saudi tycoon in 16 months after taking over Manchester City, in other words, the deep-pocketed Mansour is losing 823,000 pounds every day, meet such an owner, if you don't make a difference, will you be ashamed to want to commit suicide?

And Mancini wanted to kill himself now.

On the bright red scoreboard, just 31 minutes into the game, and his team are trailing 2-0, not only by the score, but also by the situation on the pitch, after spending more than all the other 19 clubs in the Premier League combined, the Manchester City team, who have piled up gold dollars, are being embarrassed by Arsenal on the football field.

Those who support the "Descartes uselessness theory", after watching the first 30 minutes of this game, may have more reasons to be complacent, because Arsenal's number one star Descartes is sitting on the sidelines, but his teammates beat the "explosive rich" Manchester City to a bruised nose, although the score of 2:0 cannot be said to be nine out of ten, but this also proves that without Descartes, Arsenal is still very "good" this season.

In that case, what does it make difference whether you want Descartes or not?

But they probably didn't know that ten minutes later, everything would have changed. (To be continued......)
