Chapter 242: Very different attitudes

"Hao, come on, I'll be waiting for you in the stands."

Before getting out of the car, Ivanka took the initiative to send a kiss to Xiang Hao to say goodbye.

It is rare for the royal sister to take the initiative to send a 'pre-dinner dish', Xiang Hao naturally will not refuse, hugging her fiercely and taking a big bite, until she has a snort, he will let her go, "You just wait to see me win this championship." ”

In his tone, full of confidence and even a little unquestionable arrogance, Xiang Hao gently pinched her smooth face and got out of the car.

It was time to assemble and leave for Wembley, and Xiang Hao didn't have any extra time to linger with her, and soon entered the Kearney training base.

Ivanka watched Xiang Hao's back disappear from her sight, and also drove away from Kearney and went to Wembley first.

Originally, Xiang Hao didn't want her to send it, but this was also the first final of Xiang Hao's career, and Ivanka didn't want to miss his day's trip, so she wanted to accompany her throughout the whole process, hoping to witness that moment with him.

At the same time, he also cheered for him, and it was the first time Ivanka saw Xiang Hao unable to sleep before the game, and honestly kept watching the videos of the opposing team.

That's why she's with her all the way today, supporting him, staying by his side, accompanying him, believing that he can win the championship.

That's what Ivanka is doing now, and although it doesn't help much, it's all she has in mind.

And in the Kearney training base, Xiang Hao, who did not have a lot of entanglement with Ivankado, soon had a round with his teammates.

At this moment, on their faces, they are extremely solemn, and they all seem very quiet, but in this quietness, there is a sense of 'slaughter', which is extremely formal.

Without it, the opponent is too strong, and it is also the opponent they must take.

If this final was just an ordinary team, the Arsenal players would not have taken it so seriously and would not even joke.

However, this opponent cannot help but ignore them, whether they admit it or not, in fact, Manchester United is indeed stronger than them.

Especially in this injury-ridden situation, Arsenal are at a low point of morale, and they can only use this attitude to show their determination for this game.

In training, they also use the most active input to complete the movements. Of course, in order to avoid unnecessary injuries, Wenger did not arrange fierce confrontations, and the transmission of the ball and running are always the main theme.

"Are you all ready?"

The old man's eyebrows were furrowed, and he seemed to ask, but there was more majesty in his tone.

Obviously, the old man was hoping for an affirmative answer from his teammates.

"Ready !!"

Brush and brush, eager to answer. A.T. Kearney was full of confident echoes of Arsenal players.

For this game, they did not have any fear, there was just endless anticipation and desire.

Especially the big guys in the team, Toure and Campbell have experienced the era of duality with Manchester United, so meeting Manchester United in the final made them instinctively feel a kind of excitement.

You know, the last time Arsenal won the championship, it was from the body of Manchester United, this time they also want to replicate the experience in 05, stepping on the corpse of Manchester United, to the top, even if it is just a small League Cup final, it is enough, because the opponent is Manchester United.

Van Persie's whole person is more like a cheetah waiting to be eaten, and the whole person is in an indescribable excitement.

Indeed, although he joined Arsenal in 04, in the 04-05 season, the weak Van Persie was a small supporting role at all, and the taste of that championship was too light for him.

At that time, he couldn't shake the status of Henry, Bergkamp and others, and even compared to Reyes, who returned to La Liga. In the Champions League final in '06, he didn't even have a chance to play.

Even in the first two seasons and the Chelsea League Cup final, Van Persie was more of a supporting actor and a spectator.

That season, it was still Henry who played the leading role, and the main supporting role was Adebayo, and Van Persie, who was constantly injured, still failed to take his responsibility.

In this final, Cesc Fabregas was injured, and the responsibility of shouldering the burden of the team undoubtedly fell to Van Persie, who is the leader of this Arsenal team, the leader of spirit and on the field.

Even Xiang Hao can't replace the current status of the Dutch, this is the accumulation of resumes, and they can't make up for it.

This final, for Van Persie's personal significance, is absolutely extraordinary, a battle of leaders.

Others, like Nasri, Arshavin, and Denilson, had the same resolute gaze, waiting for the old man's final orders.

In a word, Arsenal are full of endless anticipation for this game and eager to prove themselves.

In contrast, Manchester United's buses are approaching slowly, and like the players on the bus, the Manchester United players are in a state of relaxation.

Although the outside world tried their best to exaggerate the atmosphere of the big game, for the Manchester United players, this game was very easy, at least far easier than the Arsenal players.

This is the foundation, Manchester United's players have stood at the top of the club, and a League Cup final is not enough to make them 'moved'.

Ferguson didn't intend to make his players nervous, quite simply, it was self-confidence, a sense of momentum.

What Ferguson wants is to maintain that attitude and develop a sense of superiority over Arsenal.

At the same time, he also believes that when the game actually starts, his players will naturally get nervous.

I have been on the battlefield for a long time, and when I hear the sound of gunfire, I have an instinct.

And this instinct is the confidence in Ferguson's heart, because Manchester United is better than Arsenal!

This kind of concept, in recent years, has become more and more intense in Ferguson's heart.

Recalling the years of 04, 05 and 06, Manchester United entered a period of transition, Ferguson abolished Keane, Ruud van Nistelrooy and others, and the results entered a period of fluctuation, and the Old Trafford stadium once shouted to leave the class.

It was a difficult period, but the old man survived, and no one was more familiar with the control of the entire Premier League, and his enough qualifications and personality allowed him to hold the Premier League trend steadily.

And last year's return to the top of Europe also made Ferguson feel an indescribable sense of pride.

The strength of the team has given him enough confidence to dominate the Premier League for another period, and he is now more focused on the Champions League.

The old man is eager to establish the status of Champions League hegemony like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Liverpool in the last century.

Kick Liverpool off the throne once and for all and re-establish themselves as the number one football club in the world.

And today's opponent, Ferguson attaches importance to it, but it is definitely not nervous, let alone afraid. He is well aware that Arsenal are in decline.

There are always lows after the highs, just like in previous years with Manchester United.

But Arsenal's problems aren't just about the arena, they're more important within the club.

The change at the top, the departure of Dunn, and the mountain-like debt... These problems are superimposed, and Arsenal still imagines the efficiency and focus of the years at the beginning of the century, which is completely a dream.

The only way out is to rely on Van Persie's group of young people to dig themselves up internally and make a world, so that they can use the progress in the arena to pull Arsenal out of the 'predicament'.

It's a pity that three seasons in a row have been fruitless, and repeated defeats in key games have worn down their morale, and it is difficult for Arsenal's young people to blossom at this club.

Last season, it was their best and most important chance, but unfortunately they missed it again.

Ferguson knew at that time that the Arsenal side could be dropped from their rivals.

In fact, everything that happens in the summer, proves this, it is not competitive, and the attraction is waning.

If his old opponent is strong enough, it would be good to keep the top four spots, to be able to press Liverpool, and not to fall into the likes of Newcastle, Tottenham, and Everton.

If you're not careful, Leeds United and Nottingham Forest are a lesson from the past.

All that Arsenal have left now is a cycle, all kinds of hopes and disappointments, unless there is an opportunity, or the Arsenal hierarchy is more concerned about a title than the tens of millions of pounds in prize money, but is that possible?

In the Premier League, Ferguson's focus has shifted from Arsenal to Chelsea, and this season, Liverpool's rise is also more threatening than Arsenal's.

This game, even more so. Arsenal, the Premier League hegemon, is bound to win.

In this game, to put it mildly, in the old man's heart, the current Arsenal is similar to Tottenham, Everton and the like, and at most it is on the first line.

As long as his team plays normally in this game, Ferguson is confident that the Carlin Cup will be brought back to Manchester City.

Manchester United, like an invincible and mighty general, entered the city of London with an unrivaled momentum.

"Oh, oh!"

"We are great Manchester United, great Manchester United!"

"Conquest, Conquest of London!!

"Boo boo boo"

"Manchester City, you're not welcome here, get out of London!"

"Go back to your city and fight for turf with Manchester City!"

"This is not the place you came from, go back!"

The noisy and unknown sounds, mixed together, were extremely harsh.

Among the 20 teams in the Premier League, if you ask which team is the most loved by fans, Manchester United is definitely a strong contender, and the team most hated by fans, Manchester United is definitely among them.

It's very simple, it's a mediocrity not to be envied, not to mention that Manchester United is the hegemon of the Premier League, and the voice of the strong is absolutely proportional to the jealous gaze.

When they stepped into the majestic Wembley Stadium, they were treated differently, and the United were absolutely scolded in waves.

Liverpool City and London City are definitely the two cities in the Premier League that hate Manchester United the most, and there is too much direct competition.

Needless to say, Liverpool and Manchester United are competing to see who is the all-time number one. And London City, with Arsenal in front and Chelsea in the back, competes with Manchester United for the first place in the league every season, where is there no hate.

Under the huge rainbow, the Manchester United were the first to enter Wembley Stadium with applause and boos.
