Chapter 27, that's quite uncomfortable
Although it was unpleasant on the training ground.
But Van Persie certainly can't say that when it comes to the media.
The media did wonder what Van Persie thought of the game.
Van Persie began by congratulating his former club on their current condition: "I'm delighted to see them doing really well."
However, Van Persie immediately changed his style after speaking, worried that Manchester United fans would question his figure, so he immediately added: "But I am now a Manchester United player, I will fight for the honor of Manchester United, I said, I came to Manchester United to win the league, no matter who the opponent is!" I'm hungry for success here, and I'm feeling good! β
The media went to interview Arsenal's players again, hoping to get some powerful remarks from their mouths so that they could be more streamlined in the news.
But alas.
Most of Arsenal's players and Van Persie are former teammates, and they are all workers, and even if they really don't like each other in private, they are unlikely to express themselves publicly in the media.
As a result, the media can only get answers that they don't want.
Otherwise, media people are smart.
You players don't want to offend people, do you?
Then go interview the fans!
Before the game, there were media outlets on the streets specifically interviewing Arsenal fans.
"We're going to beat them! We're going to beat them! β
"Robin. Van Persie! You damned traitor! β
"I want the team to win this season and show those who are leaving how wrong they were to leave in the first place!"
Fans denounced Van Persie's betrayal.
He had just put on the team's captain's armband, put on the number 10 shirt, and after playing the best stats of the season, he chose to leave.
This gave Arsenal fans a deep sense of betrayal.
How much they loved Van Persie and how much they hate it now.
The deeper you love, the more you hate.
But as the players from both sides stood in the tunnel waiting to play, the players on both sides were silent and did not communicate with each other, although there were some old acquaintances in their respective teams.
For example, some former teammates, national team teammates and so on.
But there was no laughing and talking before the game.
Arsenal and Manchester United are not traditional rivals, but they are undoubtedly the longest-running pair in the Premier League.
So the relationship between the two sides is certainly not much better.
What's more, there is also Van Persie this season.
Many Arsenal players involuntarily looked at the familiar figure when they walked out of the players' tunnel, the former Arsenal No. 10, and now Manchester United's No. 20.
That Flying Dutchman, Robin. Van Persie.
However, everyone only glanced at it and took their eyes back, after all, this is a key battle that the entire Premier League will be watching.
Yelo was at the front of the queue, and he didn't look back at Van Persie.
He has no interest in the "Arsenal No. 10" duel hyped by the media.
Manchester United are very good, a very strong opponent.
Suffice it to know this.
Competing with Van Persie?
Where to start?
For Yelo, a player of Van Persie's level is suspected of touching porcelain with him.
Of course.
If Van Persie wins this game β or Manchester United β then the media will certainly have something to say.
Ye Luo certainly wouldn't let this happen.
The two teams were silent until they came out.
But when the players on both sides come out of the tunnel of the players.
In the stands at Old Trafford, there was a huge cheer.
The Theatre of Dreams Old Trafford, one of the most famous stadiums in the football world, is the home of England's biggest giant, Manchester United.
But the course is very old, and the facilities are old-fashioned compared to many modern courses.
However, this did not affect the popularity of the stadium.
The traditional English sunken pitch has a great condensation of sound.
Cheers swept through the stadium.
The stadium's radio is broadcasting the names of the players of the home team, Manchester United.
Every time a player is announced, the United fans cheer along.
Often, the decibels of the fans cheering and laughing tell which player is the most popular.
But there are exceptions.
For example, now.
When the Manchester United home radio shouted in a long voice: "Robin." When.
The scene rang out with the unanimous and deafening shouts of Manchester United fans: "Van Persie!!" β
To create this effect, many United fans may even have deliberately restrained their loud voices when cheering on other players' names.
The Dutchman received the highest cheers of the team.
Even the likes of Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and Michael Carrick didn't get as much cheers as he did.
But this is obviously not the norm at Old Trafford, because no matter how good Van Persie is, he has only been with Manchester United for more than two months, how can he compare with Rooney and others in terms of popularity.
But before the start of the game, the United fans cheered Van Persie so loudly, of course, to show their support for the Dutchman.
Media coverage, hype.
Arsenal fans attack.
This upset Manchester United fans, so they supported Van Persie in this way.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Van Persie clapped towards the stands with a smile on his face.
And when it was Arsenal's turn to broadcast the line-up, the sound of the live broadcast was much weaker than before.
Basically, it can be described as perfunctory.
And Manchester United fans, of course, add boos to the name of every Arsenal player.
Whoever booed the most compared to the cheers shows who Manchester United fans hate or fear the most.
But when it came to Ye Luo's name.
The decibels produced by the boos of the Theater of Dreams were almost comparable to the cheers Van Persie had received before.
The deafening boos shook everyone's eardrums.
The reporters in the media table couldn't help but look sideways.
"It looks like the pressure will be on in this game."
"But it's nothing for him."
"Which course did he go to, not this treatment?"
The reporters of the Dragon Kingdom were full of discussions.
Such a scene is of course commonplace for Ye Luo.
No matter where he is away, the home team's fans will "greet" him in this way.
Because everyone knows who is the most threatening person.
Ye Luo's face was calm, and he didn't pay attention to those boos.
If boos could affect his performance, he would not have been able to perform so consistently.
The beginning of his career almost began when there was no way back and he was spurned by everyone.
It's just boos.
It's unlikely that even a little psychological swing will give him a bit.
"This is the first time I've stepped on the turf of Old Tra!"
Duan Xuan's voice was very excited.
"Manchester United is the hegemon of the Premier League, and this game can be seen as a showdown between Ye Luo and the Premier League hegemon! This game is also the top battle of the Premier League! If Manchester United win, they will overtake Arsenal to the top of the table! β
"Both sides are the main forces, don't dare to slack off!"
Just as the narrators spoke.
Players from both sides have stepped onto the pitch.
This is followed by a series of pre-match ceremonies.
Arsenal won the right to pick the edge and they were able to choose the pitch opposite the one they had warmed up before the game, so they could play in the first half where they were used to.
Manchester United were given the right to kick off.
They can attack from the very beginning of the game.
So sometimes, whether it is better to pick the edge or the right to tee, there are different opinions.
But the players don't bother with that.
In any case, the final result of the game will definitely not be decided by the ownership of the right to pick the edge and the right to tee.
Players on both sides are in their respective positions.
Now the boos and cheers on the pitch have gradually subsided, and everyone is staring at the pitch, holding their breath and waiting for the game to begin.
In Old Trafford, which is gradually quieting down.
The referee's whistle was particularly sharp.
This seems to be a signal as well.
In addition to the signal for the start of the game.
It was also a wake-up call for the whole stadium.
The stadium, which had been a little quiet before, suddenly burst into a thunderous cheer.
It was like a sudden explosion of thunder.
Race.
It's officially started!!
Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson shook hands before the game, and both sides were already very familiar.
After the two shook hands, Arsene Wenger chose to stand on the sidelines, while Ferguson chose to sit in the dugout.
But that doesn't mean Wenger is less calm than Ferguson, or that Ferguson is more confident than Wenger.
Ferguson was actually nervous β as evidenced by the speed at which he chewed gum.
The cheeks were chewing frequently, and the eyes were staring at the court without blinking, even if he was sitting in the coach's seat, his back did not lean on the back of the chair, but only sat on half of his buttocks, leaning forward.
To date, Yelo has scored 18 league goals in 12 league games.
The efficiency of this goal is truly amazing.
But Ferguson wasn't surprised.
Even before the start of the season, Manchester United had been the favourites among the teams pursuing Yelo.
Ferguson even went to Malaga to invite Yelo to join.
But after going around and around, Ye Luo finally joined Arsenal.
This is quite a surprise.
At the same time, Ferguson regretted it in his heart.
At that time, it was rumored that when Ye Luo failed the physical examination, he hesitated a little for a few days.
It was in the past few days that Wenger took the lead.
This old boy. The action is quite fast.
Ferguson glanced at Arsene Wenger, who was standing on the sidelines, and complained in his heart.
Both teams played their best.
After all, this is the focus of the league, and the two sides have nothing to keep.
On the home team's side of Manchester United, except for the Red Devils captain Nemanja Vidic, who is absent due to injury, the other positions are basically the main team.
Goalkeeper David De Gea, centre-back Rio Ferdinand partnered Evans, right-back Rafael and left-back Patrice Evra.
In the midfield, two central midfielders Carrick partnered Cleverley, as for the veteran Scholes, who retired and returned, and the Red Devils winger Ryan Giggs, who is now replaced by Wang Laoji, a younger brother and sister lover who basically plays in the middle of the midfield, the two veterans are temporarily sitting on the bench.
The two wing-backs are Valencia and Ashley Young.
Up front, it's the partnership of Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney.
In attack, United have Portuguese winger Nani and Mexican striker Hernandez Jr. on the bench.
As for Arsenal.
The same 4312 position, the only difference is that Arteta, who has returned from injury, replaces Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's position, and the three midfielders are Arteta, Coquelin and Ramsey.
The defense looks more solid.
As this was the first meeting between the two sides this season, neither side immediately went on a big attack.
Instead, there was a tentative phase that lasted for nearly ten minutes.
The two sides have offensive and defensive against each other.
It wasn't until the 10th minute that the game changed a bit.
Arsenal organised an attack in front, Yelo retreated to receive the pass and turned the ball to the left, Cazorla received the ball on the left side and smashed the ball down, and when he was about to cross, he was pulled to the ground by Manchester United's right-back Rafael.
Rafael was actually very helpless, because he was going to rush up to tackle the ball when Yelo received the ball, but Yelo didn't stop the ball, and he didn't even turn around and hooked the ball directly to the right front.
Rafael is convinced that Yelo didn't look back at all when he passed the ball.
Therefore, it is normal for Rafael to make a mistake in judgment at this moment, which leads to the fact that when Cazorla gets the ball and Rafael regains his position, Rafael lags behind a lot in his position, even if Cazorla is not fast, it is impossible to catch up and regain his position, so Rafael can only choose to foul in battle damage.
"In the tenth minute of the game, Rafael pulled Cazorla for a foul, and received a yellow cardRafael's defense this time was too reckless, if Manchester United is the weakest, it may be on Rafael's side, the Brazilian full-back has a winger's heart, and his side of the defense is the most unreassuring part of Manchester United." Andy Gray said: "Now in the first ten minutes, as a defender, you have a yellow card, which is very bad for Manchester United for the rest of the game. β
Ferguson finally got up from the dugout, carefully walked down the steps of the Old Trafford dugout to the pitch, and then raised his arms to vent his frustration at the fourth official.
He thought it was United's first foul in the opening game, and he actually showed a yellow card directly.
It's just too harsh.
It's still at Manchester United's home turf!
Is there still home advantage?
The old gentleman, chewing gum, roared at the fourth official.
If it were an ordinary head coach, the fourth official would probably have called the referee to deal the cards.
But the old man in front of him was not an ordinary person, and the fourth official had to endure it, he pressed down with both hands, signaling Ferguson to calm down.
But Ferguson didn't give up.
The members of Arsenal's coaching staff were staring sideways.
The television broadcast gave Ferguson a shot of him blushing in anger and returning to his seat in a rage.
Arsene Wenger was back in the dugout at this point.
"This guy is in a bit of a hurry."
Arsene Wenger said.
"Why? It's only been ten minutes since the start of the game. His assistant Blake was a little confused.
"It's obvious. This old man was planning to kidnap Robin from us, and with the forward partnership of Van Persie and Wayne Rooney, he rushed to the Premier League title again! He may think that the only rival is Manchester City. After all, they came close to winning the title last season. Wenger shrugged.
"But who would have thought we could get Yelo," Blake turned to look at Ferguson, who looked like an angry fighting in the distance.
I was going to get the last Premier League title and then retire with honor, but I didn't expect to make a trip to bite the gold halfway. The pressure of competition is even greater!
Just thinking about it, you can understand Ferguson's mentality.
"But it also shows that Manchester United in this game... It's not good to kick! β
The game that Ferguson faced with such a stubborn attitude would definitely be difficult to play.
While the two were talking, Manchester United launched an attack.
Patrice Evra dribbled along the touchline, made a one-two with Wayne Rooney and burst forward before being tackled out by full-back Sagna.
Manchester United won a corner.
In the opening ten minutes, in general, United played cautiously, and they were certainly influenced by Arsenal's complete win away to Chelsea in their last game, and they took the defence seriously.
At the same time, Arsenal did not press on it for the first time, but tested the depth of the opponent.
The game looked uneventful.
However, with Rafael's yellow card and Ferguson's entanglement with the fourth official on the sidelines.
This seems to turn on a switch of the game.
The tempo began to pick up suddenly.
Even before Patrice Evra made the corner, United had already started to speed up their passing and the frequency of their forward passes.
Patrice Evra came to take the corner, but he didn't send it straight to goal.
Instead, the ball was delivered. Top of the arc of the penalty area!!
Van Persie doesn't know when he cruised into the area.
In the face of the ball falling from the air, Van Persie directly opened the stance, volleyed, volleyed!
"It's coming!!"
In the midst of the exclamations of the commentators.
Yelo rushed out as soon as he could, and he knew what the opponent was going to do when Patrice Evra drove the ball towards the top of the box!
Van Persie's football was blocked by Yelo's feet, and the ball that had been flying straight towards the goal bounced into the air and finally flew out of the bottom line.
Manchester United were awarded another corner.
"Oh"
In the stands, Manchester United fans exclaimed.
All United fans then applauded Van Persie's shot.
Television footage immediately began replaying Van Persie's volley.
"The cooperation of Evra and Van Persie, this corner kick has obviously been carefully rehearsed, just to create a shooting opportunity for Van Persie on the periphery, Van Persie's shooting skills are also quite good, the ball from the corner kick, the ball is drawn directly without stopping, judging from the line of the football shot, if this ball is not blocked by Ye Luo, it will go to the dead corner!" Duan Xuan was amazed and praised Van Persie's shot this time.
Many Dragon fans are also marveling at Van Persie's marksmanship.
After all, it is very difficult to volley directly without stopping the ball.
To be able to handle it so well, ball sense and shooting skills are indispensable.
On the commentary bench, Sky Sports TV commentator Andy Gray was also cheering for Van Persie's shot.
"Van Persie has shown great form! Before the game, almost all the media focus was on him, his move from Arsenal to Manchester United is undoubtedly the biggest transfer news this summer transfer window except for Yelo joining Arsenal, this game Van Persie received so much attention, he will definitely be under a lot of pressure, but if he can lead Manchester United to win this crucial battle, all the pressure will disappear and all the problems he faces will be solved. β
Seeing that his shot was blocked by Yelo, Van Persie regretfully held his head in his hands.
Ye Luo glanced at Van Persie with a little surprise in his eyes.
This shot is of high quality.
You can't underestimate your opponent too much.
Van Persie noticed that Yelo was looking at him, and he smiled at Yelo, but the words that came out were not a friendly greeting, but his declaration of war.
"I'm going to beat you!"
He said.
βοΌοΌβ
Ye Luoleng paused.
Why, are you Dutch people like this?
You are a country in the lowlands, not an island country, and your average height is still so high, you shouldn't be able to compete with that country?
Van Persie didn't wait for Yelo to respond, he walked inside the box and prepared for the second corner.
Ye Luo shook his head slightly.
Similar challenges he encounters all too often.
After all, even the most discerning media will not deny the title of one of the best players in the world - but in fact, many times, the media will simply remove this "one".
"Manchester United won consecutive corners and Manchester United's attack started to pick up!"
The commentators on Manchester United's official TV station were very excited.
Winning consecutive corners can indeed be seen as proof of the offensive momentum.
This time the corner was on the same side, so it was Patrice Evra who took the penalty.
This time, of course, he will not continue to deal with the same penalty as in the previous corner, after all, there will still be some changes.
He looked into the restricted area.
At this time, Manchester United's high points are all in, with Rio Ferdinand and Evans as two centre-backs, Van Persie and Rooney as two strikers, and Carrick and Cleverley on the periphery.
A situation of grabbing points in the penalty area has been formed.
Patrice Evra made a run and drove the ball towards the front post.
In a scramble with Wayne Rooney's header, Koscielny pushed the ball out of the box and the ball fell to Cazorla's feet, who took the ball and turned, dribbled along the touchline before looking up to the other side.
"Arsenal's counter-attack!"
Amidst a boo at Old Trafford.
Cazorla raised his foot to find Yelo, but at the critical moment Carrick appeared, pounced on his body, and blocked Cazorla's pass off the touchline.
Immediately, the United fans in the stands cheered and applauded Carrick's defense this time.
But their cheers had just begun.
Cazorla was already standing on the sidelines and picked up the ball, and before they could react, the ball was thrown into the field.
Throw-in, Hurry Up!
Cazorla sent the ball to Yelo, who was also cutting forward at high speed!
Yelo quickly moved closer to the touchline after seeing Cazorla's pass blocked.
The chemistry of the two former MΓ‘laga team-mates played a key role in the moment.
Yelo took the ball directly, turned around, and dribbled forward to pass the feet of Rafael, who was coming from the flying tackle.
Raphael only shoveled the air!!
Since Manchester United's two central defenders seem to be at the front of the corner, it is Valencia, Ashley Young and Rafael who remain in the backfield.
But after Rafael's tackle was empty.
In front of Yelo, only Valencia remains!
"Yelo !!"
In the exclamations of the commentators, Yelo was only one step past Valencia.
There is not even a feint, just a step forward, accelerate, cut the line, and throw off the opponent!!
Valencia, who once wore Manchester United's No.7 shirt, was very fast, but in the race against Yelo, Ecuador continued to chase more and more desperately.
In the end, we can only count on David De Gea to save the team.
After Yelo rushed past Valencia with the ball, he found that De Gea was still on the goal line!
"Attack!!"
Ferguson on the sidelines was about to jump to his feet.
But De Gea still didn't break out of the six-yard box.
That's a trait of David De Gea, he doesn't play and pass the ball.
Of course.
His goal-line response is top-notch.
This time, though, Yelo didn't give him a chance to show off his goal-line skills.
De Gea, who didn't attack, couldn't cause any trouble for Yelo at all.
He didn't even need to continue to pass by.
Yelo looked at De Gea's position and pushed it with a straight arch.
The ball crossed over from the other side of De Gea, and the ball that was close to the ground, due to its strong rotation, also brought a small arc on the ground, and at a speed that was not particularly fast, it stuck to the far post and drilled into the goal!
The ball is in!
"Yelo. Pretty!! β
"Cool push!!"
"Arsenal break the deadlock!!"
"In the 19th minute of the game, Arsenal, who were playing away, took the lead! Are they going to replicate the big win over Chelsea last time? β
"It was supposed to be a chance for Manchester United, but Arsenal played a quick counter-attack, Cazorla's pass was blocked by Carrick, but then his quick throw-in allowed the counterattack to continue, and Yelo then used his speed to break through Rafael and Valencia in succession, and calmly pushed the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal to score!"
The commentators on the commentary table were full of words.
Old Trafford was a little quiet the moment the ball rolled into the goal, but the next moment, the boos exploded like thunder.
Of course, these boos were directed at Ye Luo.
But Ye Luo didn't care, after the goal, Ye Luo opened his arms, turned his back to the stands and retreated, beckoning his teammates to come up and celebrate the goal.
He had a smile on his face.
It seemed that the goal was really easy for him.
A very slippery counter-attack goal.
Such goals account for a lot of Yelo's goals.
In terms of beauty, this ball is not ranked, so there is nothing to be excited about for Ye Luo.
But the rest of the Arsenal players and coaches are excited.
It was a goal against Manchester United at Old Trafford!
Scoring this goal and winning this game is like winning the championship for the Arsenal players.
Arsene Wenger raised his arms high, his face flushed, and he was very excited at first sight.
The members of the coaching staff behind him, the substitute players also cheered and rushed to the sidelines, everyone hugged, cheered and celebrated.
Manchester United's players were a little confused.
One moment, it was still their attack, and the next moment the opponent had already sent the ball into their own goal.
Why is the opponent's counterattack so efficient?
Van Persie chased all the way, but he returned to the edge of the penalty area, and when he was still more than 30 meters away from the goal, Yelo had already completed the goal.
He stopped, his head in his hands, and his face depressed.
He just said that he wanted to defeat Ye Luo.
As a result, the next moment they scored.
My face hurts
Van Persie looked at Ye Luo, who was surrounded by his teammates, speechless and depressed.
Ferguson chewed gum faster.
This frequency can't even be said to be chewing
Obviously.
Lord Fu is furious!
But he didn't know who was responsible.
There's no catharsis.
Defensively, is there any big problem with the players at Manchester United?
Actually, no, it's not his fault that Valencia can't catch up with Yelo.
And David De Gea.
He had his own problems, and even if De Gea attacked immediately, it would not help, and Ye Luo was basically equivalent to scoring a goal in front of the goalkeeper.
That's all it can say.
Arsenal's ability to grasp opportunities is too strong, and Yelo's scoring ability is too good.
But what can you say when the opponent plays better than you.
There's nothing to say.
Ferguson blushed and struggled.
