Chapter 839

Ferguson has been in charge of Manchester United for 24 years and has experienced numerous strong opponents. In the face of three embarrassing years of Jose, he has never won a game. He has a deep hatred for Benitez. However, only the gentle Frenchman Arsene Wenger can be regarded as Ferguson's lifelong enemy.

When the Frenchman Arsene Wenger took up the helm of Arsenal in 1996, the proud Ferguson didn't pay attention to this opponent at first. At that time, even the fans of Arsenal doubted the coaching level of the head coach who worked in the Japanese League. However, it took only one season for Arsene to be familiar with the Premier League. Soon, in 1997-98, he won both the league and the FA Cup, and was named the Premier League coach of the year. Ferguson, who was prevented from winning the League three times in a row, finally met his biggest opponent in his career.

After that, Arsenal rose strongly and won the title with a record unbeaten record in the 0304 season. Since then, the match between the two teams in each season has been regarded as the most important focus of the Premier League, and Ferguson and Arsene Wenger have gone from verbal battle to psychological battle. At the height of their relationship, Ferguson was asked: "if you had only one bullet in your pistol, would you choose to kill Arsene or the spice girls?" As a result, Ferguson's answer was: "can I have two bullets?"

In recent years, with the arrival of Rafael Benitez and Jose, especially the strong rise of Chelsea, Ferguson's attention has temporarily shifted to Jose and Rafael Benitez. On the other hand, due to the financial tension of the club and some mistakes in the management philosophy, Arsene Wenger's Arsenal team has begun to decline, and the relationship between Ferguson and Arsene Wenger has become increasingly fierce The contradictions gradually eased. Although they were still sarcastic, the war of words was less than before.

In the 17th round of the Premier League, Manchester United played against Arsenal for the 210th time and Ferguson played against Arsene Wenger for the 43rd time. Arsene Wenger's Arsenal are tied with Chelsea for the second place in the table, which poses a major threat to Manchester United's winning the league. In recent years, the slightly quiet battle between the Gunners and the Red Devils has become particularly eye-catching.

Last season, Arsenal were close to their first title in five years, biting Manchester United and Chelsea in the first half of the season and even leading the Premier League. However, the young Gunners were left behind at the end of the season due to the injury of the main players. It seems to be a failure, but the inevitability is unavoidable - weak back, lack of reinforcements and excessive use of Cesc Fabregas and other issues to varying degrees led to the regrettable results of last season.

According to the tradition of the general giants, in this case, summer transfer must be wantonly recruiting, in order to make a comeback, is also heavily in debt, Ferguson decisively took out 80 million euros to buy inter core Gao Xiaodong, only to create a record of 15 consecutive wins, but arsenna and previous seasons, the summer transfer rumors continue, never come to Meichang From mertesack, to Montpellier's Bosnian captain spacci, to the recently rumored Roma abandoner Mexes, from Gao Xiaodong to Schwarzer to Adler, there are continuous news about Arsene Wenger's purchase of players. The only new player who can be put in place is central defender kosercheni. He is also the most expensive recruit for the Gunners this summer, from Lorien, worth 12.5 million euros. He is missed by Arsene Wenger Long time Moroccan striker sharmah finally came to cast this summer, but he has become a free agent and didn't spend a cent on the Gunners.

Obviously, Arsene Wenger still believes in his young guards. He thinks that Ferguson can rely on a group of class 92 young people to establish a dynasty of the Premier League. As long as he persists, even if he can not establish a dynasty, he still has the hope to win the Premier League.

In fact, the start of the season for Arsenal is really good. In the preseason, Bella's hanari scored against Celtic and won the only Emirates Cup title that Arsenal have in recent years. They drew 1-1 with Liverpool in the opening match, and then they won a series of big scores against the weak teams, but they lost to Chelsea in the strong dialogue, then they beat Manchester City 3-0 and beat Manchester City 2-1 in the last round After Fulham, Arsenal have caught up with Chelsea and only need to look up to Manchester United in the table. Although there is a big gap of 11 points, if they can beat Manchester United away from home, the fight for the league title will soon ignite hope.

In the Champions League, Arsenal are also relatively easy to go, after 3-1 defeat of Partizan in Belgrade, they also ensured a round of group qualification ahead of time, the record is even better than the same period last season.

This strong dialogue with Manchester United, Arsenal pay more attention than Manchester United, because of the London derby between Chelsea and Tottenham, in the eyes of the Arsenal people, this match with Manchester United can almost be comparable to a battle for the league title.

If Arsenal can win this game, the point gap between Arsenal and Manchester United will be reduced to 8 points. In the case of less than half of the league, the advantage of 8 points is not out of reach. In addition, if Chelsea can't beat Tottenham and Arsenal beat Manchester United, then Arsenal's position will be more favorable.

Arsene Wenger, who has always been less aggressive, has launched a psychological war against Manchester United.

In an interview with BBC before the match, Arsene Wenger said: "now Manchester United are facing difficulties. They draw at Blackpool in the Carling Cup. They are defeated by West Ham in the Carling Cup. One has ended the record of 15 consecutive wins and the other has ended Manchester United's longest unbeaten record in 12 years. However, their opponents are all weak teams. This is enough to show that Manchester United have reached the end of a strong crossbow, one in a row Five victories drained their physical strength and energy. Now is a good time for us to beat them. A few years ago, it was Manchester United who finished 49 unbeaten league games. This time, it should be Arsenal who finished 16 unbeaten league games. It's a providenceThe coach spoke, the captain of course to keep up, Arsenal's captain Fabregas is an indispensable presence for Arsenal. Last season, Cesc Fabregas was the tactical core, the top scorer and the top assistant of Arsenal. This season, he is still the key to how far Arsenal can go. In the face of such an important battle, Fabregas also declared war on Manchester United.

"Manchester United is a great team, but they are not invincible. Since West Ham United can beat Manchester United by a big score, we can do it. I think that over the years, Arsenal have been no worse than Manchester United and Chelsea. The reason why we failed to win the championship is not only luck, but also because the referees in the Premier League are too lax and encourage us to play football Rough teams, if the Champions League or La Liga law enforcement standards, Arsenal at least three more league titles. I think the key to winning this match with Manchester United is not me, Arshavin or Gao Xiaodong and Rooney, but the referee. If the referee can treat the fouls fairly, the victory should belong to us

Arsenal ace striker, new Bergkamp van Persie, also said that Manchester United are just a paper tiger. They are not invincible. The 11 point gap looks huge. If we can beat Manchester United at Old Trafford and narrow the point gap to 8 points, then both Chelsea and Tottenham will see hope. At that time, the suspense of the title race will come back.
