In the 17th round of the league, Arsenal will challenge Manchester United away, which will be the biggest game of the first half of the competition; If Manchester United can't snipe Arsenal at this time, then it can basically be announced that Arsenal will completely get rid of other competitors at the halfway point of the season, then it is basically possible to choose Arsenal to start a complete sprint to the league title.

No one will doubt the importance of this game, as the two aspiring teams will surely give it their all at this time; No one will doubt the intensity of this match, as the two teams are already in a war of words before the game.

Arsenal may have faced some challenges away from home in this game, starting with away from home, and the players may have some fitness deficiencies. Coupled with the fact that Arsenal encountered some injuries in this game, in addition to Vermaelen and others, the team's second goalkeeper Fabianski was also injured and absent, coupled with Van Persie and Fabregas and others who failed to start, Arsenal's current squad can be said to have dropped to the lowest point of the season in an instant.

Therefore, in this game, Ferdinand returned to the starting line after recovering from a hamstring injury and continued to partner with Vidic in the middle, and putting Beba back on the bench on the offensive line meant that Rooney needed another man to be at the front; For Arsenal, Arsene Wenger, a post-90s Polish teenager who had no Premier League experience before the goalkeeper position, was in goal, and Cesc Fabregas opened the game with Van Persie on the bench.

Although the team's current lineup is a little insufficient, Xiao Qing is full of confidence in winning this game away; When they were in the players' tunnel, Xiao Qing and Ferdinand and others just wanted to look unpleasant, and Xiao Qing, who snorted coldly, even felt that there was no need to be polite to them at the handshake before the game.

Arsenal starting line-up goalkeeper Szczesny; Sarnia, Squeerage, Juru, Klich on the back line; Defender Alexander Song. attacking midfielders Rosicky, Nasri, Arshavin; Xiao Qing and Chamak partnered in the forward line.

Manchester United's goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar; Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra at the back; midfielders Fletcher and Carrick; attackers Anderson, Nani and Park Ji-sung; Chubby Rooney was at the front.

It can be seen that Ferguson is jealous of Arsenal's attacking ability. In this game, Manchester United's 4-2-3-1 formation was to strengthen the defense in central midfield. They clearly want to make a difference defensively, as they know that if they let Xiao Qing's Arsenal attackers play form, it will make United disgrace at Old Trafford.

Old Trafford was booed and United fans clearly didn't like Arsenal; In the previous league, Arsenal was able to bring some threat to Manchester United, and now Arsenal, which has experienced a low point, has risen again, and Manchester United has one more team to compete in the league. And last season's Arsenal retreat at Old Trafford, Arsenal's victory over Manchester United last season to win the league title, these are all hurt by Manchester United fans.

Xiao Qing naturally got a boo from the audience. But Xiao Qing didn't care at all, and even at this time, Xiao Qing waved his hand to the fans in the stands a little provocatively; Xiao Qing's attitude caused the boos at Old Trafford to skyrocket a few points, and it was obvious that Xiao Qing didn't care about offending Manchester United fans at all. Xiao Qing seems to enjoy the boos from the Manchester United fans, at this time Xiao Qing looks like a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, although the Old Trafford stadium is booed, but Xiao Qing is content.

The players of the two teams also began to line up, and it was immediately the handshake ceremony before the start of the game; Xiao Qing glanced at Manchester United captain Ferdinand, who was spitting with him before the game, and looked at Ferdinand's black face, Xiao Qing was very unhappy at this time. Directly withdrawing his hand, Xiao Qing did not mean to shake hands with Ferdinand at all.

This time the Old Trafford stadium exploded. The boos reached their peak at this time, but Xiao Qing didn't care about these at all. He was very cold and briefly struck hands with the next Manchester United player, and as for Ferdinand, who had a darker face, Xiao Qing naturally didn't care at all.

Not only did the Old Trafford stadium break out, but this focus battle was naturally the focus of attention of many media, and the scene of Xiao Qing's refusal to shake hands with Ferdinand, who had a big spit before the game, was also seen by Premier League fans.

Xiao Qingcai didn't care about this, he didn't care what kind of reaction it would cause after the game; Anyway, he refused to shake hands with Ferdinand, and he and Ferdinand were very unpleasant, so at this time, Xiao Qing didn't care about any manners or immorality, since they didn't have a good impression of each other, there was no need to do these superficial articles, anyway, they should be unpleasant or unpleasant.

The smell of gunpowder before the game was very strong for both teams, and both teams were very concerned about this game, so the whistle of the game was naturally quick to make the game enter the white heat, and the two teams launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle at this time.

Manchester United kicked off first, Manchester United defender Michael Carrick made a long pass directly in the midfield, and Fat Rooney used his impact to press Arsenal defender Julu and forced a shot wide. Although there was no threat to the shot this time, Manchester United also gave Arsenal a hard shot at this time, and at this time the Gunners must realise that Manchester United are definitely not so easy to mess with, and here Manchester United are fighting with a strong determination to win.

Rooney's shot on goal officially kicked off the game, and in the next game, something happened that made the Gunners depressed, Xiao Qing couldn't cry or laugh at this time, of course, more frightened.

Less than 100 seconds into the opening game, Szczesny, who broke Arsenal's record for the youngest appearance of a Premier League goalkeeper at the age of 20 years and 239 days, made a mistake in the opening goal; I don't know if it was nervousness or what, Szczesny, who made his first appearance in the Premier League, kicked a goal-kick without quality, and he unbelievably kicked the ball directly to the feet of Rooney, who was still preparing to retreat.

Faced with this scene, everyone was stunned for a moment, and even Rooney did not expect to encounter such a scene in the game; However, just as Rooney was about to sit down to receive the big gift, the linesman who finally reacted raised the flag. Because Wayne Rooney is now in an offside position.

Xiao Qing didn't know what to say at this time. Arsenal's goalkeeper position is really not reassuring; Ever since Seaman was teased by Ronaldo. Arsenal's goalkeeper seems to have become synonymous with unreliability; How many years have passed, Arsenal have not found a suitable manager in the goalkeeper position.

Xiao Qing sighed, now is not the time to feel sorry for himself, I believe that when encountering such a scene, Szczesny will not be calm, he should learn a lesson and work harder in the next game; As for Arsene Wenger, who sat on the sidelines with a predetermined face, the winter transfer is coming, and it is time to find a reliable goalkeeper for Arsenal.

Amid the laughter at Old Trafford, the game started again. For Red Devils fans, Arsenal simply don't deserve to be the top of the Premier League, as Arsenal look more like a grandstanding clown, and Arsenal's current success may be more due to luck, including not having faced a strong opponent like Manchester United.

Although Arsenal escaped by luck, Szczesny's low-level mistake greatly hit Arsenal's morale; For Manchester United, they see hope now and they are confident that they will put more pressure on Arsenal in the next game, and they will be confident that they will make more mistakes in the game, and next time, they believe Arsenal will not be so lucky.

In the ninth minute, Rooney was in close defense with two people. Skillfully unloaded a long ball, and after turning around, a right-footed shot from 25 yards out was directly confiscated by Szczesny. A minute later, Chamak failed to cause Van der Sar a problem with a header from inside the box after receiving a pass from Arshavin. Thirteenth minute. Nani's free-kick from the middle was held by Szczesny.

Arsenal feels the pressure, although the undeniable strength of Manchester United after Ronaldo's departure has declined, although the current Manchester United striker Rooney is not Arsenal's nemesis; However, in the face of Manchester United's balanced attack and defense, Arsenal obviously did not have much initiative.

In particular, although Manchester United is not a representative of a tough team, they are full of toughness when facing Arsenal; In addition, in this game, Manchester United sent a double back in the midfield, which naturally greatly increased the pressure on Arsenal's front. When Xiaofa sat on the bench in this game, in the face of Manchester United's strong midfield defense, it was difficult for Arsenal to get more opportunities to organize attacks, although everyone can understand that Xiao Qing is a super strong point, but Arsenal's players cannot find Xiao Qing for the time being.

Xiao Qing is a little depressed now, because he needs to bear a lot of defensive pressure, of course he is not worried about these defensive pressures, Xiao Qing believes that he has the ability to tear these defenses; But in the final analysis, football is a team sport, although Xiao Qing has outstanding ability, but he may not have the confidence to beat a strong man like Manchester United on his own. Now Xiao Qing is very depressed, because Arsenal's midfielder can't penetrate Arsenal's defense at all, although Xiao Qing is constantly looking for more opportunities in the front, but unfortunately the current Arsenal can't organize a decent attack, and other players can't share some pressure on Xiao Qing at all.

The current Arsenal is somewhat suppressed by Manchester United, and the current Arsenal has no achievements in the offensive end and is still suppressed and very depressed; Arsenal looked very unconfident in the opening game and they did not have the style of the defending champions in the game, although Arsenal were unbeaten in their previous games, but they are now directly behind against Manchester United.

The cheers at Old Trafford and the Red Devils fans are happy to see Arsenal in the limelight being beaten against Manchester United, which only shows that Manchester United are stronger than Arsenal, and the most competitive team in the Premier League should be Manchester United, not the pseudo-strong Arsenal.

As for the graceless Xiao Qing, the fans of Manchester United now have no less ridicule of Xiao Qing; Because Xiao Qing has not performed in the game so far, although Xiao Qing has the title of the first active player, Xiao Qing's performance is not outstanding, and Xiao Qing is basically dumb when facing Manchester United. So at this time, Manchester United fans were even happier, especially thinking of Xiao Qing's ungraceful performance before the game. (To be continued......)
