Manchester, inside Old Trafford.

In the stands, the Arsenal and Manchester United fans sat in distinct positions in their home shirts, and they were very excited as they saw their players walk out of the tunnel and onto the pitch as the game was about to begin.

Fans on both sides immediately erupted in the loudest shouts to greet the arrival of their own team's players, who shouted loudly and the whole stadium was filled with their voices.

It's crowded with people!

The players from both sides followed their captains and slowly walked into the stadium, and then lined up on both sides of the referee team in the stadium for a group photo ceremony before the game.

The media reporters at the scene rushed up and frantically took pictures of the players on both sides to record the moment.

After taking the photo, Dongfang Chen himself led his teammates to shake hands with the players of the Manchester United team and the members of the referee team.

After shaking hands one by one, the Arsenal players arrived in their own half and waited for the game to start.

Dongfang Chen walked to the middle circle, because now he is the captain of the Arsenal team, and he is going to participate in the edge picking ceremony.

Dongfang Chen hasn't been a captain for a long time, and the last time he was captain was in the Birmingham team.

After Dongfang Chen walked over, Giggs was already waiting somewhere, seeing Dongfang Chen coming, Giggs stretched out his right hand to Dongfang Chen.

Dongfang Chen also smiled and stretched out his right hand, and after the two shook hands, they stood face to face, looking at the referee of the game, Wei Bo.

This is not the first time Dongfang Chen has faced Ryan Giggs like this, but such a situation only appeared last season, and now that the two face each other again, Dongfang Chen has a trance-like feeling, as if he is back in the Birmingham team.

However, Dongfang Chen knows that now he is not in Birmingham, but in the Arsenal team.

Birmingham have been relegated and are now battling it out in the Championship. Dongfang Chen sighed in his heart: "It's really a time flies, the vicissitudes of life!" ”

Thinking of the relegated Birmingham team, Dongfang Chen couldn't help but think of Zhang Ningpeng, who only joined the Birmingham team in the winter of last season, I don't know what kind of performance this guy has in the Championship? I don't know if this guy regrets joining Birmingham now?

Yes, Zhang Ningpeng originally came for the Premier League, so he was good, but now he is going directly to play in the Championship, which is really unlucky.

In fact, in Dongfangchen's view, it is also a good thing for Zhang Ningpeng to play in the Championship, and it is a good thing for Zhang Ningpeng to hone and hone in the Championship, which is of great help to his growth.

The Birmingham team was relegated, and many players in the team were obviously leaving the Birmingham team, so that Zhang Ningpeng could go up and get the main position of the team.

Therefore, Dongfang Chen thinks that it is very beneficial for Zhang Ningpeng to stay in Birmingham now. I started in the Championship.

"Heads and tails? Guessed the right to the ball, didn't guess the right to pick the edge, did you hear clearly? Referee Howard said to the captains of both teams, Dongfang Chen and Ryan Giggs.

Dongfang Chen was immediately shocked, he came back from his thoughts, he saw Weber and Giggs staring at him, Dongfang Chen immediately smiled slightly, nodded, and said that he was quite clear.

After getting Dongfang Chen's response, referee Weibo nodded.

At this time, seeing that Dongfang Chen came back to his senses, Giggs said unyieldingly: "I choose the front!" ”

Webber saw that Giggs had made a choice, so he immediately turned his head to look at Dongfang Chen, he wanted to see what Dongfang Chen thought?

Dongfang Chen smiled in his heart, although he hadn't seen Giggs in such a scene for more than a year. But Giggs's expression has not changed in the slightest, and he is still so domineering, and he deserves to be unyielding.

However, Dongfang Chen didn't care about this, he nodded immediately, and then said, "Then I'll do the opposite!" ”

Referee Webb nodded appreciatively to Dongfang Chen, and then said to the two: "Manchester United is on the front, Arsenal is on the back!" ”

Dongfang Chen and Giggs nodded again to confirm, indicating that this was the case.

Webber glanced at the two of them again, and saw that they were both staring at him with blazing eyes, and without any objection, he threw the coin in his hand into the sky, and the coin spun rapidly in the air and made the sound of a silver bell, and then fell to the ground hard.

Suddenly, six eyes were glued to the coin on the turf - the reverse side!

Seeing this result, Giggs only pouted slightly, not paying much attention to this. And Dongfang Chen didn't look excited, his face was calm.

Weber smiled slightly and said to the two: "Dongfang Chen guessed correctly, the Arsenal team got the ball, and the Manchester United team only had the right to pick the edge, how do you choose?" ”

Webb's last sentence was clearly addressed to Giggs.

Ryan Giggs turned his head to look at the situation on both sides of the pitch and then said to Weber: "That's it, no need to change. ”

Wei Bo nodded directly to indicate that he understood, he immediately lowered his head, looked at the watch on his wrist, and then raised his head and motioned to the two of them: "Hurry up and go back and prepare, the game is about to start." ”

Hearing Weber's words, Dongfang Chen immediately nodded, and then stretched out his right hand to Weber, after Dongfang Chen shook hands with Weber and Giggs, he turned around and walked back to his half, making the final preparations before the game began.

Back in his own half, Dongfang Chen immediately motioned for his own striker partner Van Persie to come to the center circle, and the two immediately stood in the center circle and waited for the game to start.

At this time, everyone on the scene knew that the ball already belonged to the Arsenal team playing away.

'Okay, the players from both sides are in their positions and Manchester United's home game against Arsenal in the third round of this season's English Premier League is just around the corner. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.

At this time, the referee of the game, Weber, had already adjusted the watch in his hand, and after he looked up at the situation on the court again, he immediately puffed his cheeks and blew the whistle for the start of the first half of the game.

In the middle circle, Dongfang Chen lightly clicked the football and rushed forward quickly.

Van Persie in the center circle passed the ball directly to the central midfield, and he also rushed into the stadium of Manchester United.

"Okay, audience friends, fans friends, the game has officially begun!" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said: "The first kick-off was the visitors, Arsenal, who are now wearing the yellow away shirt and attacking from the left side of the screen to the right. The home team, Manchester United, is a team dressed in red, attacking from the right side of the screen to the left. ”

At the beginning of the game, all the fans in the stadium burst into excited cheers to welcome the arrival of this game, and they were even more crazy to cheer for their team and players, hoping that their favorite team could win the final victory.

Arsenal's tactics today are actually more defensive, Arsène Wenger knows the current problem of losing the ball, their midfield is actually very unfamiliar, and they have not yet formed a tacit understanding with the team, and it is difficult to play some complex attacks.

Therefore, Arsène Wenger's requirement at this stage is to try to make some simple and direct attacks, that is, to counterattack quickly.

In fact, there are no problems with the passing of Arteta, Gungunan and Vidal introduced in the midfield, and now they are not very familiar with their players and the rhythm of the Premier League, so the defensive counterattack should be able to play.

Manchester United, on the other hand, were attacking, taking advantage of their home advantage to frantically besiege the Arsenal goal.

Manchester United are well aware of the bad situation of the Arsenal team now, Manchester United are now pursuing the goal of taking advantage of your illness to kill you, at this time, they will definitely not be merciful, crazy attack.

Soon, United were in control of the game, pressing heavily and besieging the Arsenal goal, while Arsenal cowered at the edge of their penalty area, defending while waiting for their opportunity to come and fight back.

Manchester United's attack is a great threat at this time, on the wing, Manchester United's side attack is very sharp, Giggs and Nani's breakthrough and passing, giving the Arsenal team a lot of trouble.

It was at this time that Manchester United's full-back Nani arrived again.

Nani is a good guy, worthy of the name of Cristiano Ronaldo's younger brother, with skillful flying skills at his feet, and he is also very fast, and his breakthrough is very sharp.

Arsenal full-back Gibbs was already paying attention, but was unable to defend Nani, who broke through Gibbs and then crossed directly from the wing.

The football flew into the Arsenal penalty area at a fast pace, and the Arsenal fans were terrified.

In the middle, Manchester United's striker Dzeko rushed straight up, jumped high and smashed the football into the Arsenal goal like a Tarzan overhead.

"Dzeko heads the goal!" Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor roared with excitement, as did the Manchester United fans in attendance.

With a thud, the ball flew towards the Arsenal goal.

In front of the goal, Handanovic, the goalkeeper of the Arsenal team, jumped up directly and dragged the football out of the bottom line with a single palm.

"Wow! This time Handanovic's reaction was very quick, very fast, and well done! Judging from this save, the Arsenal team did not lose this time. Of course, if Handanovic can keep it like this, the Arsenal team will make a profit! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said immediately.

The fans of the Manchester United team at the scene immediately erupted into a sigh of regret, this goal is really a pity, such a shot was saved, it is incredible.

The Liverpool fans at the scene were very excited, and they really saved too much. Arsène Wenger seems to have made another very good deal this time.

Corner, Manchester United get a corner.

The United players shook their heads and it was a really good opportunity. However, at this time, they did not grasp it, which is a great pity.

However, the players of Manchester United are not dwelling on it because they have a chance, as long as they take it next time. They are convinced that they can break through the Arsenal goal and emerge victorious.

The captain of the all-faced team, Ryan Giggs, immediately walked to the corner, which he would take personally.

At this time, the Arsenal penalty area was full of people, and the Arsenal players were very cautious and even a little nervous.
