Chapter 247: Gunslinger vs. Red Devil (Daily Transition)
Arsenal and Manchester United's feud?
The 2016/17 season was far less than it used to be.
The conflict centred on Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson's 'Premier League duo' era, rivals around the turn of the millennium.
The two powerhouses compete for supremacy.
English derby.
There are so many stories going on between the two teams.
Flying Boot Door.
Pizza Door.
Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten run was ended by Manchester United
Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson have had a profound impact on the Premier League, and their achievements deserve to be remembered by fans.
So who broke their rule?
It's Chelsea.
It's Abu.
It's Jose Mourinho.
It's "the special one".
The later story is too long.
Arsene Wenger ushered in his nemesis in the Premier League, winning just one of his 16 meetings against Jose Mourinho in 2016.
Here's the problem.
Now that Arsenal meets Jose Mourinho's Manchester United, can they break the curse of winning?
Carrington Training Base.
Pogba drove to the entrance, and several media reporters waved excitedly.
"Paul, how are you going to greet Lee at Old Trafford?"
"What do you think about the outside world comparing you to Lee's goals?"
"Where do you think the gap between yourself and Lee is? Well. In addition to the value. ”
A couple of issues that clearly pulled hatred failed to anger Manchester United's Mr. 100 million.
Pogba dismissed it and said:
"Don't expect anything irrational to dig out of my mouth."
"Only people who don't understand the game will question my worth."
"Goals aside, Lee and I are very close in all stats this season."
"Football is a team sport and Arsenal's coaching staff and other players are not as good as Manchester United!"
"Lee will taste the bitterness at Old Trafford."
Pogba straightened his hairstyle in the rearview mirror before stepping on the gas pedal and leaving the scene.
He is not stupid, and he is also very persistent in the pursuit of the spiritual world.
Every day, I had to call my good shaman and discuss the Qur'an together.
Fans are optimistic about United's prospects.
They are confident that Jose Mourinho can lead the club out of the quagmire and back to the top.
The team's faith is also stronger than ever.
No one will question the magic of "Mu One Year".
There are only De Gea exceptions.
He thinks Manchester United's defence is much more solid than last season, but when it comes to defending against Lee's Arsenal. Hard.
In the end, I still bear everything silently.
On the training ground at this time.
Ibrahimovic is 'hand-in-hand' with Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard, Anthony Martial, Luke Shaw and others.
The 35-year-old Swede has scored four goals in the first three games of the Premier League.
"Don't learn from me, my shot conversion rate is too low!"
"Manchester United have the most shots on goal in the Premier League and the lowest conversion rate!"
"Learn to observe! Even if you are a striker, you have to watch the position of the opposing defender and team-mate, don't just shoot on your own, we have to have the same attacking ideas! ”
"Don't try to imitate MSN and Trezeguet and Inzaghi"
"The theory of the division of the three zones has been outdated for many years, and Van Gaal taught you these things? Now is the era of the division of the attacking nine, if Arsenal loses the ball in the offensive end, they will retreat to defend as soon as possible, instead of counter-attacking, and our attacking direction should be directly locked on the right side, where the return speed is the slowest! ”
'As a striker, you have to minimise ineffective runs and if you want to create space for your team-mates, you have to let the Arsenal defenders see through your off-the-ball intentions and have to be taken away by you, right, their main defenders are smart.
"Alright, let's get started!"
The training match gradually turned into a teaching lesson.
Ibrahimovic was chattering on the pitch as he ran and walked as he guided the youngsters.
Carrington Field soon resounded with the crunch of a touch.
De Gea kept high and flicked on the side. Repeatedly defuse dangerous situations.
He was a little distracted, and Ievee's roar rang in his ears again.
"Well done, little ones!"
"If it was a slightly incompetent goalkeeper, we would have beaten it into a sieve a long time ago!"
The young generals approached the tall and mighty Swedish Shenfeng, and their eyes were full of admiration.
The situation inside United's dressing room is complicated: young players like Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard and Luke Shaw have to follow Ibrahimovic to eat, shower and even go to the toilet together.
When Ibu has nothing to do, he likes to tell them about the classic games of the year, describing how perverted his idol - Da Luo is.
The Carrington training base was turned into a kindergarten.
North London.
Li Kang returned home at 3 p.m.
He's about to start his homework again.
The Premier League also places a high value on the culture of the players.
According to the Elite Performance Programme (EPPP), cultural literacy is the foundation of technical and tactical understanding.
Even if you are Balotelli, you have to honestly take cultural classes and write homework.
It's hard to replicate the good old days of being famous and drinking, and the young players have to take time out of their days to study.
In particular, the coach of the England national team, Roy Hodgson, also arranges cultural exams in each training camp to check the academic performance of the players.
After the test, Arsenal's culture teacher suggested that Li Kang retake the "English General Certificate of Secondary Education Advanced Level Course" and take three subjects.
It's not that his academic performance in Germany is poor, it's just that there are differences in the knowledge structure of the two countries.
Considering Li Kang's current popularity, there is no way to choose the school closest to the club to study, and he has to hire a tutor.
There are many "top students" in the football world.
Habaib and Pirlo.
Chiellini, Lehmann, Inzaghi.
Alonso, Robben, Kimmich.
Romelu Lukaku.
Redondo, Socrates. And so on and so forth.
There was also a player who won the Nobel Prize in the last century.
Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger is also a top student in football: a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and a master's degree in economics from the University of Strasbourg in France, and a doctorate from the University of Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom. He is also fluent in six Chinese languages.
The slanting sun shines through the lush foliage, leaving a dappled shadow on the desk.
"Li, it's okay if you don't take the exam, there's no harm in reading more, even if you don't play football, you don't have to find a job, we can take out the trophy and hat trick match ball for auction when we don't have money in the future."
The assistant comforted him and closed the door to the room.
Li Kang felt that he had a point, so he picked up the mobile phone on the desktop and swiped the screen, and the notification bar was full of dense information
A moment later.
He decided to read a book anyway.
Be self-disciplined.
You can't have frequent contact with girls in your spare time.
The Champions League hasn't been won yet.
And so the days passed.
The fourth round of the Premier League has finally arrived.
Li Kang and his teammates traveled to Manchester, one of the eight core cities in England.
The city is the economic engine of the north of England and the most prosperous area outside of London.
The red and white buses slowly drove towards Old Trafford.
Xhaka poked out the window and exclaimed: "I'll just say that Manchester United and Arsenal have no problem with the relationship now, you see the statue of the head standing outside the stadium!" ”
Arsene Wenger's statue at Old Trafford?
The crowd laughed.
"What looks? That's the statue of Sir Babylon! ”
"Wrong, it's Sir Barbis!"
Half an hour later.
Press conference.
Jose Mourinho took the initiative to shake Wenger's hand.
The last time they met, the two had a fight.
The reporters were surprised: the madman coach seemed to be a lot more restrained.
After the two of them sat down.
The Manchester United manager kept a straight face, and the sharpness of his face made the reporters eager to try.
Manchester United is synonymous with Premier League traffic.
Including several young players in the team, they have gradually become Internet celebrities on social media.
In particular, the Pogba god is a ghost, and the value of Mr. 100 million has not been fully reflected.
"I'm not a hairdresser, so I don't have time to pay attention to Pogba's hair."
"Arsenal are not weak."
"No matter which team I coach, Arsene Wenger can't beat me easily, and Mr. 200 million can't break the spell between me and him."
'Liverpool's rebuilding takes time, Manchester City's rebuilding takes time, it's their excuse for losing! Manchester United are a strong contender for the title even in the rebuilding process. ”
"I came to Manchester United to win."
Attract firepower, attract hatred.
He didn't bother to explain the mistakes of the United players in the previous rounds of wins.
The other side.
Wenger smiled kindly and answered questions from several reporters in a soft voice.
Assertive.
Victory seems to have been held in his hands for a long time, and he will no longer care about all the provocations of his old enemies.
Player tunnel.
There have been many violent clashes between the Gunners and the Red Devils in its history.
Cesc Fabregas smashed a pizza in Ferguson's face.
Circumstances change with the passage of time.
De Gea still cared about the past grievances of any club, and excitedly grabbed Li Kang's shoulder.
"Li, I dream every day that I want to reunite with you in the national team."
As soon as these words came out.
Petr Cech nodded in understanding.
The Manchester United general's expression stiffened.
Pogba tugged at the corners of his mouth even more disdainfully.
Ibrahimovic said: "You're not dreaming now, but it's not England vs. Spain! And the Swedes, the Germans, the Montenegrins"
The crowd laughed.
The originally dignified atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.
“CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, audience friends. ”
"Welcome to the fourth round of the 2016/17 Premier League!"
"Manchester United host Arsenal!"
"The names of the two managers alone are the most eye-catching matchup."
'Jose Mourinho has a tough test at Old Trafford.
"Arsene Wenger can break the curse of being ravaged by madmen?"
"Red Devils vs. Gunners, what kind of sparks will be created this time? Let's wait and see! ”
"The camera shows Sir Alex Ferguson in the stands, the familiar crutches, the familiar gum."
"Old Trafford has become a sea of red and the Red Devils fans are devastating!"
"I'm the commentator of this game, He Hui!"
ESPN Live Room.
The barrage gradually dominates the screen.
-
[Both teams have won three consecutive games since the start of the Premier League this season.] 】
-
[Their respective tactical styles are also different from the past, the lineup has no shortcomings, the water is uncertain, I am more optimistic about Li Mingdeng to break the game. 】
-
[At this stage, it is a real strong dialogue. 】
-
[Guardiola's side Manchester City lost again, it's really miserable, and the Champions League may also be out! ] Manchester's skies won't be red this year, will they? 】
-
[Big Ibrahimovic, he can still play in the Premier League at the age of 35, I don't know how old he can play. 】
-
Pogba's hairstyle. The style of painting is no different from that of the young man in the barber shop at the entrance of our village. 】
-
[The happiest thing every weekend: watching a group of billionaires perform for us.] 】
Old Trafford.
The referee team led both teams out of the aisle.
Tens of thousands of Red Devils fans burst out in an instant!
The distance between the stands and the green field is very close.
Huge slogans and posters shook with the sound of different waves, like flames churning in a sea of fire.
“United! United! ”
“Glory glory Man United!”
Li Kang couldn't help but think of the clip of his first visit to Old Trafford.
As if standing at the feet of the red beast, the small figure was about to be swallowed by the red blood basin.
The system prompt sounded quietly.
[Ding, Quest Trigger: Conquer the Theater of Dreams.] 】
[Mission Summary: Van Gaal is gone, Mourinho is here, and the Red Devils are no longer stumbling. It seems to be on the right path? Enjoy the game, Old Trafford never skimps on flowers and applause! 】
【Reward: ??? 】
"Here's a look at the starting line-ups for both sides."
'Manchester United have a 4-2-3-1 formation.
"Goalkeeper: David De Gea!"
'Defenders: Luke Shaw, Eric Bailly, Chris Smalling, Brand.
"Two midfielders: Herrera, Carrick."
'Centre-back: Jesse Lingard, Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial!'
"Striker: Ibrahimovic!"
"Arsenal have a 4-3-3 formation!"
"Goalkeeper:"
'There hasn't been much change from the squad against Hull City in the last round.
'New signing Mustafi and Harry Maguire form a new centre-back partnership.
-
[Manchester United bought a central axis in the summer window, how does it look that the overall strength has become so much stronger. 】
-
[Carrick still plays at the back when he is old? Matic don't stay in the car, hurry up and save Mourinho! 】
-
[Why don't you go to Rooney? 】
-
[There is also Mkhitaryan on the bench, and now the use of Pogba has become a big problem, Mourinho made him play in the back in the first two rounds, and the effect is very poor. 】
-
[I heard that Everton's Lukaku may join Manchester United in the winter window!] 】
-
[Arsenal's new center-back combination is unreliable? ] It feels a bit of a pit. 】
Accompanied by a whistle from the referee.
The competition has officially begun.
Arsenal possession.
Giroud kicks off and passes back to Li Kang.
There was no high-intensity pressing.
The Gunners players were very comfortable passing the football on the green field.
"It's a bit slow."
"Manchester United's formation structure has formed a triple defensive line, and the depth of the defense is very layered."
"There's a little bit of a Chelsea imprint."
Li Kang tried to pick up the pace, but the timing of the ball was fleeting as the distance between the United players changed.
Pogba is like a chicken, and actively running to intercept this is something that was unimaginable in the past.
The French blacks are equally good at reading the game, and every help time and movement is very reasonable.
Of course, this is only a minor factor and does not pose the main threat to advancement.
Li Kang seems to have experienced the difficulties of Chelsea in the Champions League last season.
God's perspective.
However, the Reds' overall structure, the details of the zone defence are very different from those of the Blues.
It seems to be a little difficult.
Mourinho is not Hiddink, and the shadow he left behind made himself suffer from his time at Bayer Leverkusen.
Zhan Jun is difficult to write, it looks very simple, but in fact it is very, very difficult, I also looked for his early Cantonese commentary for a long, long time (I will listen to Cantonese and Hakka, my grandfather is Cantonese on his side), and then I learned that the evaluation of him on the Internet "I don't understand tactics" is not very objective, he has already transformed many years ago, he is not working, and he has a rich background, I can't write about his feelings, so I can only use Mr. Huang and He Hui to make up the numbers.
