The next day's newspaper, the biggest star was not Cesc Fabregas, who scored two goals, but Xiang Hao, who assisted once when he came back, and the newspaper promoted Xiang Hao's individualism to the extreme.

And they are also good at creating contradictions, although there are still three days before the Champions League match between Arsenal and Manchester United, but it is not a big deal to watch the excitement, and the more lively the better, the more lively they will also have sales.

So even though this is a post-match report on Middlesbrough, it's more about Xiang Hao's provocation against Manchester United.

In fact, even if the media didn't play it too much, after the weekend's games, it was inevitable that all eyes would still be on the Champions League final in midweek.

Among them, the British media, more focus, is on Arsenal and Manchester United, no way, who let this be a Premier League civil war, the past grievances between the two teams are so heavy, although Arsenal has a tendency to scum in recent years.

But it doesn't matter, an Englishman who likes to pursue tradition will not forget Arsenal's past glory, and fans will not forget the glory of the team, and will still demand Arsenal's improvement as always.

"Why not, we're Arsenal, we've had a lot of difficulties this year, but we haven't failed yet, and this time is no exception!"

'It's on our home turf, we're Manchester United, Arsenal is nothing, they're always just chasers, but they never miss the chance to chase us, we're the Red Devils!'

"I don't care about them, Chelsea is my favourite, we will win against Barcelona, it doesn't matter who wins because the final title will be ours!"

…

All kinds of interviews, all kinds of investigations, endlessly. Arsenal fans have their own persistence, Manchester United fans have their own pride, and Chelsea have their own attitude.

The three-way wrestling is all aimed at the big ear cup. While the British media is exaggerating this big battle, they have not forgotten to cheer for their own country's teams, promote the Premier League, and be intoxicated.

This season's Champions League is a drama of the three Englands against Lu Bu. In the semi-finals, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, plus Barcelona in La Liga, competed for the final victory.

The British media naturally hopes that the Premier League team will go to the end, and believes that the Premier League team can do it.

Because apart from Arsenal, both Manchester United and Chelsea are at the peak of their respective teams.

And Pep Guardiola, although he is unbeatable in La Liga this season, he is still a newcomer in the Champions League, so the British local rhetoric is still very confident in such a challenge.

They feel that Barcelona may not be able to get past Chelsea, and even if they do, then their final opponent is likely to be the Red Devils Manchester United.

Unless Barcelona plays Arsenal again, Manchester United with Cristiano Ronaldo has a higher probability of winning the championship.

In fact, what the media is now focusing on is whether Arsenal can succeed in counterattacking and knocking Manchester United down.

In the league, Arsenal have 'helped' Manchester United, the strongest rival Liverpool, half dead, so what about in the Champions League? Will it be the end of Manchester United, after the restructuring, no one has ever achieved the title defense?

Everyone is looking forward to it, and they have given their own attitudes.

'There's no doubt that Manchester United will settle Arsenal at Old Trafford.'

In an interview with the Daily Mail, although Keane was very unhappy with Ferguson, his loyalty and sense of belonging to this club was absolutely leveraged, and he stood clearly on the side of his old club.

"I know that Hao is back, but in fact, he has not solved the fundamental problem of Arsenal, Hao has strengthened, but Arsenal's overall strength has not increased.

I know that guy very well, he can lose to a team that is weaker than him, but this team will not include Arsenal because Arsene Wenger is the man he wants to 'kill' the most.

If Arsenal continues to be weak, then Ferguson may not care, and may be careless and let Arsenal be a little lucky.

But now that Arsenal have returned to threat, Ferguson will do everything he can to beat Arsenal.

And, I'm 100 per cent sure that Ferguson's goal at the start of the season, first and foremost, is to defend the Champions League, there is no doubt about it.

This game is at Manchester United's home stadium again, so Manchester United will definitely show their 100% strength against Arsenal, and Ferguson will not allow any accidents to happen to the players.

Therefore, in this game, I believe that Manchester United will be able to play to their full strength, and even if Arsenal play normally, it will be difficult for them to take advantage of Old Trafford.

I knew what that place meant, and I knew how terrible it would be to be angry there, and not even Henry or Vieira had ever taken advantage of it.

This Arsenal team is still a lot worse than them, and the current Manchester United, except for the midfield position is not the world's top level, the rest, they are the best configuration of this era.

There is no doubt that such a duel will be won by the side with the advantage of strength, that is, Manchester United. ”

The swearing, unequivocal rhetoric has been followed and supplemented by a large number of football commentators, including former Manchester United captain and current Wigan Athletic manager Steven Bruce.

'Actually, it's hard for me to believe that this Arsenal team will beat this Manchester United team in the final, it's not intentionally offended, in fact, I think this Arsenal team is not at all comparable to what I think of as Arsenal, they are not at the high point, there is no doubt about it.

Manchester United, they have opened up a new level, although Hargreaves is injured, so their midfield configuration is not very perfect, but they can still dominate the Premier League, in my opinion, their strength is much stronger than Chelsea and Liverpool.

I don't understand the Carabao Cup final, why Manchester United lost to Arsenal, it doesn't make sense. Of course, there are too many irrationalities on the football field.

But there is no doubt that Ferguson will not allow such a thing to happen a second time.

The games against Liverpool and Chelsea have proven that Arsenal are still a little worse, and even with Hao, they can't make it difficult for Manchester United.

Ho's quality is unquestionable, I feel like he's one of the best midfielders in the Premier League, but it's not enough, he's not old enough to face everything that's going on on the pitch.

He's been to Old Trafford before and doesn't know what it means to a player.

He's going to be tested there and that's one of the reasons why I think Manchester United are better than Arsenal because their 'thigh' – Hao, is so young that it's hard to believe he's able to resist the pressure. ”

All kinds of voices that are not optimistic about Arsenal, Keegan, Rush, Robson, etc., the position of this game is on the side of Manchester United.

Of course, the situation is much better than before the League Cup final. That game, it was really one-sided, even if Arsenal celebrities, there were many people who were not optimistic about that game.

This time is different, with the bottom of the league cup, Arsenal's morale is high, and it instantly feels that the vision is also high - Arsenal must get higher glory, otherwise it is a crime!

'I don't deny that Manchester United have an advantage over us, they are on their home turf and they have a psychological advantage.

But the Arsenal players are not bad, and in fact, it can be seen in the last few games that they have improved a lot in the face of adversity.

They were able to hold on in front of Chelsea and Liverpool, so why couldn't they do it this time.

Even in the most difficult situation, they will be able to do it, this is their mission, the mission that the team members must do, and I believe they can fulfill this mission.

And they've got experience in that, experience with Liverpool, Chelsea and beating Manchester United and winning the Carabao Cup, so there won't be a problem.

With the first time, there will be a second time, and that's right. So it's ridiculous to think that Arsenal can't win this game because they have a gap in quality.

In fact, I think Arsenal has overcome the panic of playing against strong teams, football is not about strength, what matters is willpower, as long as there is willpower, there will be good results, this is an unbreakable truth. ”

In the Sun's column, Wright spoke loudly for his parent team, declaring that Arsenal would win. At the same time, it also tells the fans that the future will be better, and that if Arsenal has a title, it will inevitably be a stronger truth, a new hope, and it will be born from Old Trafford.

Wright's beautiful and real hope is also the hope of the fans and many Arsenal people, who quite believe that their team has won a championship, and the next championship will inevitably come, step by step.

Leaving the Apennines, Vieira left the hustle and bustle of the environment, and his thinking was not taken for granted as Wright's.

Conversely, in an interview with The Guardian, the Frenchman was rather cautious when asked what he thought of the upcoming Champions League semi-final between Arsenal and Manchester United.

'I hope Arsenal can win. But I have to say, it's a hugely difficult challenge.

Even though Arsenal have beaten Manchester United in the League Cup this season, everything does not seem to be taken for granted, the reality is the reality, and the reality is that the Arsenal squad is weaker than Manchester United.

So, when it comes to this game, I think Arsenal fans should look at it calmly and accept whatever the result is. ”

With a slightly pessimistic view, Vieira's arguments are not welcomed by the Arsenal group at the moment.

Xiang Hao's comeback gave them great hope, obviously, they fell into this hope, and did not extricate themselves, although some people are conscious, but they are also drowned in the remarks of most people, and there is no trace.

Although it has only been three or more years, the sense of honor of reaching the top has been missing for too long, and the radical and flashy modern society has made it impossible for fans to wait, and they are eager to succeed overnight. In their opinion, the time has come!
