Interspersed between the three games between Arsenal and Manchester United are not only their two teams, but also Myburgh, Portsmouth, Tottenham and other opponents, but for the two clubs, at this stage of the season, they are actually only left with each other.

After two seasons of disruption by Jose Mourinho, the Premier League has finally returned to the most normal track of the past 12 years.

It's just that in the last 12 years, Manchester United have won seven titles, while Arsenal have only three, so the Red Devils have the upper hand in terms of confidence and momentum, and Ferguson is also full of confidence in these three games, as can be seen from his pre-match declaration, he is determined to win these three games.

"Every year by this time they're out, so to be honest, I'm surprised they've made it this year, but it doesn't matter, and after May 15th, they're doomed to be out." Lord Fruj's words were aggressive, and when Mourinho left England, Arsenal changed from a "united opponent" to a "sworn enemy", and the old lord never had half a good word about the sworn enemy.

Wenger has long been accustomed to Ferguson's compelling arrogance, so he has not responded too violently. just said lightly to the media: "Then let's wait until after May 15th." ”

Ferguson has always liked to make things bigger, and then use the pressure of public opinion to encourage his hair dryer in the dressing room to cheer up the players, but Wenger hopes that the pressure from the media will be less, lest Arsenal, which has habitually collapsed in the past few seasons, really can't bear it and collapse.

The momentum of the coaches of both sides also determined the momentum of the players, with both sides each having a league game to play before the Champions League semi-final against Arsenal, with Manchester United hosting Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal also waiting at home to Myburgh.

As a result, Manchester United beat Arsenal's north London neighbours 5-2, while Arsenal only beat Myburgh 1-0.

Such a huge disparity in points once again stimulated Lord Fu's desire to attack. When the first Champions League clash between the two sides is imminent. He once again stood up and told the media: "You see, they are no longer good, we can play them at least 3-0 at home."

It's rare for Lord Fergus to predict a score in this way, not so much because he's confident in the game. It's better to say he's putting pressure on Arsenal. He believes the Gunners are under a lot more pressure right now than his players. After all, Manchester United have won two consecutive league titles, while Arsenal have been empty-handed for the past five seasons, just keep putting pressure on them. They're going to crumble.

Lord Frug's psychological warfare has been fought for decades, and he is familiar with this set. Keegan almost went crazy, in the 1995-1996 season, Newcastle led Manchester United by as many as 12 points in the league, but Ferguson had to make a declaration after every game that Newcastle could not hold on, Keegan was going crazy, and by the end of the season, Keegan was really crazy, and Newcastle was reversed by Manchester United to win the championship!

This incident was talked about by the media for many years, and became one of the most classic cases of psychological warfare on the football field, until Keegan was still haunted by it ten years later, and Keegan, who returned to Newcastle in 2006, declared to the media that "I will never reconcile with him (Ferguson) in my life, we cannot be friends".

Now, Gu Jueye has used his most classic methods on Wenger, and he believes that there are not too many tricks, as long as one trick works.

However, Wenger is also a "professor" with a degree in sports psychology, and his psychological quality is better than that of Kevin. Keegan is still a lot stronger, so in the face of Lord Frigan's repeated singing and declining, he did not act as hysterical as Keegan, on the contrary, he also had the leisure to tease Lord F. Fred: "I wonder if they only beat us 2-0 at Old Trafford, how will he explain to the members of the board?" ”

In the on-and-off war of words between the two old rivals who have been fighting for more than 12 years, this much-anticipated match is finally inevitable.

Although Ferguson is arrogant in his mouth, but when it comes to the field, his lineup is still quite cautious, Park Ji-sung, Carrick, Anderson and Fletcher's midfield combination, it can be seen that he is also full of jealousy for Arsenal's midfield, and in the backline, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Brown, there are many of them.

Only up front, Ferguson's line-up for this game was intriguing, with Wayne Rooney and a newly injured Saha in the starting line-up, while Carlos Tevez, who had been so glamorous in the first half of the season, didn't even make the squad.

In fact, Tevez's absence from this game has long been expected by the media, the Argentine has a very hot temper, he was loaned to Manchester United by West Ham United last season, due to his excellent performance, Tevez very much hopes that Ferguson will use a 35 million pound buyout clause to buy him, but Lord Fervez always feels that his temper is a time bomb for the team, and thinks that 35 million pounds is too expensive, he is only willing to pay 30 million, and it has to be euros.

After nearly half a season of sparring with Manchester United and West Ham United, he finally announced an "injury suspension", saying that if the contract issue is not resolved, he will refuse to play for Manchester United again.

What kind of temper is Lord Fu? Don't say that you have only been in the team for a year, even if Keane, Bei Shuai, Stam, and Vanney were not outstanding for the team, but he still said that he would open it, and sell it when he said it, you little Tevez dare to argue with Lord Ferguson at Old Trafford?

So in the second half of the season, Tevez was really extinct in the Manchester United team. Ferguson didn't give him any chance, not even games like the League Cup and FA Cup, he didn't give him a second of playing time, at this time Tevez finally understood that things were big, he had to hold his tail and prepare to apologize to Lord Ferguson, but Ferguson's anger was not over, and he was also ready to suppress the Argentine's arrogance again, so even in such an important game at the end of the season, he did not plan to let the Argentine play.

The only beneficiary of this was Saha, who had been plagued by injuries at the start of the season, and he had already lost his place at Manchester United, but Tevez was suddenly sent into the cold. Makaida and Welbeck and others can't take the shift for the time being. On the contrary, he regained his main position after recovering from injury, and he played for half a season.

Unfortunately, Saha is no longer the "wild boar" on the main farm pitch, his rough technique is incompatible with United's subtle off-ball running, even if he barely plays half a season. The performance was not outstanding at all. Three league goals are not even as good as Welbeck's 339 minutes off the bench. Welbeck managed to score four goals, one more than he had scored in 14 games combined.

So in this game, Lord Fu sent him and didn't expect to get any results. It's just to make up the numbers.

On the other hand, on the Arsenal side, after Wenger gradually adapted to the new rotation policy, Arsenal finally got rid of the intrusion of injuries in the closing stage of the season, Fabregas, Nasri, Walcott, Denilson, a lot of four midfielders, Van Persie and Bendtner were also able to play together in good health in this game, and Galla and Vermaelen, Sagna, and Clichy gradually had the style of the original "five old defenders" in the backline.

Coupled with Rosicky, Descartes and others on the bench, Arsenal can be called the healthiest stage in the past five seasons.

There are many gimmicks in this game, but what everyone cares about the most is that this is the opening game of the three-round series between the two teams, and the result of this game is likely to be directly related to the next two meetings between the two sides, and even directly affect the trend of the Champions League and the league, so more than 400 media outlets have placed cameras on the scene, which is bound to spread the bits and pieces of the two teams to the world.

As soon as the game started, it fell into the rhythm of Manchester United, and Lord Ferguson played up the momentum before the game, and even the players of Manchester United believed that they could beat Arsenal by a big score in this game, so they did not try it at all after the opening, and launched a direct onslaught on Arsenal's hinterland.

As two opponents who have played more than 100 games, how could Arsenal not know how many points Manchester United have? Don't look at the Manchester United players in the opening attack fiercely, the momentum is also very strong, but the Arsenal players are not frightened at all, they also put on an offensive posture, and Manchester United started a tug-of-war in the midfield.

As soon as the two teams came on the pitch, they directly brought the game to a climax, which even the reporters on the sidelines did not expect, and what they did not expect was that the goal came so early and so quickly.

Just 2 minutes and 37 seconds into the first half, Manchester United broke the ball in midfield, Anderson handed the ball to Rooney in front, and Lu Xiaopang suddenly pulled out his foot to shoot after taking two steps.

The shot was more than 20 metres from goal, and even Almunia, who was standing in front of goal, did not expect it, and when he reacted, the ball had already been planted into the net with the sound of howling wind.

According to the post-match technical analysis, Rooney's shot reached a speed of 165km/h, which is not inferior to an intercontinental director, no wonder Almunia appeared to be caught off guard, and the Arsenal defenders have not even set up a defensive POSS.

Such a goal even Wenger can only shake his head helplessly, but there is no angry look on his face, because this kind of ball can be met but not sought, now the game has only started for less than 3 minutes, his team still has a lot of time to save the score, everyone knows that Arsenal's strength this season is in the second half, as for the first half? Let them play first.

However, Wayne Rooney's goal also reminded Arsenal's players that this is an important game involving more than $30 million and two titles, and it is no joke if you don't put in a 200 per cent desperate attitude.

Then the Arsenal players stepped up their running, not only blocking all Manchester United's attacking players at the back, but also actively launching counter-attacks on the spot in the front, in order to burn the fire into the United half of the field and keep the threat away from the Arsenal penalty area.

It is said that this season, as Descartes has gradually become the core of the team, Arsenal's defensive tactics on the pitch have also changed a lot. In the past, Arsenal's frontcourt players were basically not involved in the defense, not to mention Thierry Henry and Bergkamp, etc., and even the two wingers Ljungberg or Pire did not need to worry about the defense, Arsenal's defensive system was completely built on four defenders and two midfielders, and even two full-backs had to bear the burden of forward assists.

However, with the rise of Descartes and his growing importance in the Arsenal squad, he brought not only imaginative attacks, but also a tireless and active "mad dog spirit", and under his influence, Arsenal's frontcourt players gradually became accustomed to counter-attacking in the front court, although they were not necessarily organised and premeditated high pressing. But at the very least, such a spontaneous move greatly slowed down the opponent's counterattack. It also bought a lot of time for the Arsenal defenders to organise their defences.

This is a subtle but important change to why Arsenal have been able to hold on to Manchester United at the end of the season this season, having scored more goals in previous seasons. But there are also a lot of goals conceded. However, there are still four rounds left in the league this season. They have conceded less than two-thirds of the goals they have scored in the past three seasons, two fewer than Manchester United.

Even in the highly defensive Champions League, Arsenal have yet to reach the final. However, they are currently the second team to concede more goals than Barcelona, having conceded just four goals in the group stage, Roma in the quarter-finals without conceding a goal, Villarreal in the quarter-finals with two, and with Rooney's goal, they have conceded a total of seven, while among the teams that have reached the last four, Barcelona have conceded five, Chelsea have conceded nine, and Manchester United have conceded a whopping 11 goals.

It can be said that although Arsenal's high pressing has not yet been taken seriously and included in the system by Wenger, it has already established a great merit for Arsenal, and I believe that when Wenger makes statistics at the end of the season, he will definitely see the effect of this change.

And even if Wenger can't see it, he has a good teaching board in front of him - Pep Guardiola's "dream three".

After Pep Guardiola took over Barcelona this season, he made a good integration of Rijkaard's legacy of pass-and-control play and high pressing, although he drove away Ronaldinho, Deco and other "dream two" heroes, but under the leadership of Messi, Xavi, Xiaobai and others, Barcelona is unstoppable on all fronts this season, they slaughtered Real Madrid 2:0 at home and 6:2 away in the league, the league lead reached 7 points, and the championship has basically been captured, and in the Spanish Copa del Rey and Super Cup, They have both reached the final against Athletic Bilbao, the only non-Premier League side in the Champions Cup, but the demand for the title is higher than the three Premier League giants combined.

Now the media is not advocating Arsenal's "treble", but Barcelona's "quadruple", in fact, when this full season is over, Barcelona also won the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup, achieving the unprecedented "six crowns" honor in history, and there may not be anyone in the future.

It would be a fantasy to say that Wenger did not want to learn from Barcelona.

Returning to this game, Arsenal's players suddenly stepped up their pressing in front, which also caused huge problems for Manchester United. We have analyzed before that Manchester United's off-ball running system is actually very similar to Barcelona's Tiki-Taka, that is, non-stop running, supplemented by dazzling passes, but Ferguson requires as simple passing as possible to send the football into the opponent's threat area, while Barcelona's Tiki-Taka is to carry out the ball to the end, even if it can't hit the opponent's defensive area, he must control the ball at the back.

Lord Frue's off-ball running pursues offense, while Barcelona pursues possession both offensively and defensively.

And when Arsenal added counter-robbery in the front, Manchester United's attacking starting point - Carrick - has also been seriously interfered with, speaking of Carrick, this is actually a controversial player, in 2006 Ferguson brought him from Tottenham to Old Trafford, originally intended to train him to be Keane's successor, but in the actual battle, Lord Ferguson found that Carrick's physical quality is not outstanding among English players, and his long pass scheduling is not as accurate and timely as imagined, Ferguson once had the idea of giving up on him, and he brought in Hargreaves at that time, not necessarily without the intention of replacing Carrick, but unfortunately as soon as Harry returned to Manchester United, he became a glass man, but gave Carrick more opportunities.

Since then, Manchester United has been in trouble with transfer funds, and the greedy Glazer family has used most of the funds from the sale of players to pay off bank debts, so it has also delayed the pace of bringing in new blood, so Carrick was lucky to hold on to Manchester United until the end.

In fact, it wasn't until the 2010-2011 season that Carrick showed signs of enlightenment, gradually finding his sense of a midfield commander at the club, becoming an indispensable player for Manchester United, and making a major contribution to Lord Ferdin's 16th Premier League title, while in the national team, he slowly overwhelmed Barry and finally became England's main midfielder.

It's just that in the 2008-2009 season, the player's performance did not live up to Ferguson's expectations, and when Arsenal's front court pressed him, his ball was immediately affected, and the attack that dragged down Manchester United became jerky.

Arsenal, on the other hand, seized that opportunity and equalised with 33 minutes of the first half. (To be continued......)
