At the end of the game, Arsene went up to Ferguson with a serious expression and said, "Congratulations, Sir Alex
Seeing that Arsene didn't smile at all, Ferguson was happy and said with a smile: "Arsenal played well, which created a lot of pressure for us."
Arsene lightly waved his hand, "the ball has lost, what's the use of saying these." Then he turned and went to the dressing room.
Ferguson said to Arsene Wenger: "do you want another drink?"
Basically, it's all empty. Arsene Wenger doesn't want to have a drink with Ferguson. He waves at Ferguson without looking back. "No, next time."
When the two managers spoke, the Arsenal players had already trod to the dressing room, leaving only Manchester United players on the field to celebrate excitedly.
The last time United won the FA Cup was in 2004, when they beat Millwall, a low-level league team. In the next seven years, the Red Devils reached the finals twice, but lost to Arsenal and Chelsea respectively.
Now Manchester United have a huge advantage in the league. They beat inter 2-1 away from home in the Champions League and have a great chance of promotion. Naturally, they hope to make a breakthrough in the FA Cup and regain the glory of the treble.
In the previous two FA Cup matches, Bolton and stoke are promoted, and Manchester City is against reading. As long as Manchester United eliminate Arsenal, they will have great hope of winning the FA Cup.
The talented young bogba is very eye-catching in the defense performance, also scored a goal, after the game he also became the target which the reporter pursues.
Bogba is very sensible. He first thanks the coach Ferguson who gave him the chance to play, and then thanks Gao Xiaodong who helped him.
Bogba especially mentioned Gao Xiaodong's help to him. He thinks that without Gao Xiaodong's help, he can't play so well. Gao Xiaodong is just like his big brother. He is honored to play in such a great team as Manchester United.
As for his performance in this game, bogba spoke with Gao Xiaodong's style. He said that he only played according to the coach's arrangement and completed the task assigned by the coach, which was not so brilliant. It was the old players who really decided the game.
Gao Xiaodong is naturally the focus of reporters, especially after the red card in the last game, countless reporters hope to take something out of Gao Xiaodong's mouth.
After a few days of rest and calm, news officer Diana finally gave Gao Xiaodong an interview.
After the double red clubs slapped Carragher in the face and was sent off by a red card, Gao Xiaodong was under a lot of pressure. Ferguson refused to let him be interviewed in order to protect him. Now Manchester United beat their old enemy Arsenal to reach the final four of the FA Cup. Gao Xiaodong's one pass and one shot can be regarded as the completion of redemption.
In the face of reporters, Gao Xiaodong did not evade the question about the red card. He simply explained the reason why he played Carragher and thought he was impulsive, because he had never encountered such a bad experience before.
When the reporter asked Gao Xiaodong whether he apologized to Carragher after the match, Gao Xiaodong asked the reporter that Carragher didn't apologize to Nani who was injured, why did he apologize to Carragher.
Gao Xiaodong said that he has brought trouble to his teammates for the next three games of suspension. However, he believes that Manchester United is a great team. He doesn't need to rely on his own performance to win. Rooney, Berbatov and Hernandez can all score.
Then the topic turned to today's game. Gao Xiaodong boasted about Ferguson's tactics and thought that today's victory was a complete tactical victory because Manchester United lacked 10 players today. For a team like Arsenal, it's very proud to win with 10 fewer players.
Gao Xiaodong doesn't care about his performance. He thinks that he doesn't want to compete with Ronaldo and Lionel Messi for the European golden boot. It's better to score and assist. It's nothing if he doesn't score. It's the most important thing to fight for the European Championship.
Finally, the reporter asked Gao Xiaodong if United have a chance to win the treble this season. If United also win the treble, will he choose to leave.
In this regard, Gao Xiaodong denied, he said he played very comfortable in Manchester United, there is no intention to leave Manchester United.
Gao Xiaodong was disgusted with the reporter who provoked the topic. He sarcastically said, "if I'm going to leave Manchester United, I'll call you."
Gao Xiaodong's reply aroused the laughter of reporters, and the atmosphere on the field became relaxed and joyful.
Gao Xiaodong answered a few unimportant questions again. Seeing that his teammates had all returned to the dressing room, he ended the interview and went back to the dressing room.
At the press conference after the match, Ferguson was very happy. He thought it was not easy to beat Arsenal when the camp was full of injured soldiers. It was the result of the combination of the players' efforts and luck.
Ferguson believes that from the current situation, as long as the injured return in time, Manchester United is hopeful of a return to the treble dream.
Looking forward to the semi-final of the FA Cup, Ferguson hopes to draw a weaker opponent, because at that time, the Champions League is also in the most critical period. If all three lines meet strong opponents, it is difficult for Manchester United to win with their current staffing.
However, Ferguson's idea did not come true. In the subsequent draw ceremony, in Bolton, Stoke City and Manchester City, Ferguson drew the city's arch rival Manchester City.In fact, before the draw there were many speculation that the FA Cup will be played in Manchester Derby, and Bolton and Storck city will compete for another place in the final, which can ensure a weak team to reach the final.
This is the first time for city to reach the final four of the FA Cup in 30 years. This is also the first time for city to be so close to the FA Cup championship in 30 years. Therefore, in the past 35 years, city has never won a championship, even the League Cup.
It is obvious that no matter which team of Manchester City wins, as long as they reach the final successfully, they are more likely to win the championship than their other rivals in the final. This is the second time that Manchester City and Manchester United met in the Carling Cup semi-final last season. Last season, Manchester City won first and then lost. They were eliminated by Manchester United. They watched their arch rivals win the championship all the way and avoided the fate of being empty.
Last season, Manchester City were also double beaten by Manchester United in the league. Manchester United have won two more games against city this season. Mancini's team are eager to eliminate their arch rival Manchester United and lead the team to break the 35 year history of no crown.
Obviously Mancini also knows very well what the FA Cup means for Manchester City and him. In an interview after the draw, Mancini was confident: "the FA Cup is different from other matches. We know when we last reached the semi-final of the FA Cup (30 years ago), so it will inspire everyone and make us not afraid to face any opponents, including Manchester United. I think it is better to meet Manchester United in the semi-final than in the final. Manchester City seldom play in the final Experience, and Manchester United have a lot of experience
Ferguson is not happy with the signing, but he said that Manchester City is a bit more troublesome than the other two teams, but if they want to win the championship, they have to beat all their opponents. Manchester United are not afraid of the challenge. They will beat Manchester City again and reach the FA Cup final.
