Chapter 375 Strong Arsenal
At the UEFA Champions League draw ceremony, the final draw results of Manchester United and Arsenal can be described as a two-pronged world.

The league situation is gradually recovering, Manchester United saw the signs of a flat river in the league, and as a result, they were divided into the death group with Bayern and Barcelona in the Champions League group stage.The three top two teams in their respective leagues have to fight each other to ensure a qualifying place. Some people commented that the most dangerous lineup in the Champions League in the past ten years.

However, Arsenal got a good draw in the Champions League after a bad start in the league. They drew Dynamo Kyiv in Ukraine. The other two teams in the group were not only 01:30 points worse than Manchester United's group.

Faced with the result of the draw, Ferguson once said domineeringly: "If you want to win the championship in the end, you cannot avoid opponents like Bayern and Barcelona. You must learn to win in the dialogue between the strong and the strong, not because you have drawn a few weaker opponents. Complacent."

Ferguson's words imply that anyone knows what he knows.

So when a good reporter helped Ferguson bring a message to Wenger, the Frenchman smiled and thought for a moment and said: "This is not what he has in mind, because such an opponent will make a certain period of the season extremely difficult and cannot be relieved.

He always complains that the Premier League opponents always play super when they encounter Manchester United. I am surprised that he is not happy because Manchester United encounters opponents close to their own strength every game.

Why would the same person express two contradictory opinions?
If someone can make sure he's not schizophrenic, then I can make sure that one sentence is lying.

Which sentence is lying?Everyone should have their own opinion. "

As soon as Wenger's speech was published in the newspaper, Ferguson immediately responded.

The Manchester United coach expressed disdain for Wenger in an interview with the media: "In my career, I have met many eloquent people who can often tell the public their achievements in an exaggerated way, but in the end they disappear in the vast crowd.

What I want to emphasize is that as a manager, results always come first, and no one will miss a manager who gets a lot of money and brings a bunch of runners-up to the club. "

The verbal battle between the two was very enjoyable, and Beckham also ate with relish.

No matter who he fights with, Ferguson can finally gain the upper hand.

There is no way, the football world has to use results to speak, and this is precisely the weakness of every Premier League coach.

In the 6 years since the establishment of the Premier League, Manchester United has won 5 league titles.

So no matter who you quarrel with or why you quarrel, Ferguson will always question the challenger at critical moments: "How many times have you won championships, why do you compare with me?"

Probably in order to be tougher when talking about results in future quarrels, so Wenger has invested heavily in two consecutive seasons in order to ease the embarrassment during quarrels.

But in the end Wenger found a way to solve the question: "We scored 4 points against Manchester United last season. They won the championship because they scored more points on other teams."

After eating the melon, Beckham felt that the melon tasted particularly strong this time.

It can be seen that the Frenchman is also a master who does not suffer losses, and is even a master of quarrels.

The day before the game, Ferguson responded to the opponent for the last time: "The solution to this problem is very simple. We have scored enough points on them this season, and everything can be solved."

On the same day as the talk, both teams announced their starting lineups.

Seeing the lineups of the two teams, other Premier League teams can only let out a sigh, the lineups of the two teams are too luxurious.

Manchester United's goalkeeper is Schmeichel, the main goalkeeper of "Danish Fairy Tale", and Gary Neville, Stam, Johansen and Heinrich on the back line are all national players.

Compared with the back line, the midfield composed of Beckham, Jonker, Keane and Giggs can blind people's eyes.

In addition, the partnership of Shearer and Yorke on the striker also represents the highest level of the Premier League.

Arsenal's lineup is usually luxurious, and the defensive line of the five veterans is still airtight. The midfield composed of Overmars, Petit, Vieira, and Grimandi is equally luxurious, and the striker combination of Vieri and Bergkamp is definitely the ceiling of European clubs. The combination of these two people is completely comparable to the striker combination of any team.

Comparing the strikers of the two teams, the media believes that Manchester United is more dominant in the goalkeeper position, but Arsenal are not weak.

The two teams on the defensive line have their own strengths and weaknesses. Manchester United's midfielder is both elegant and iron-blooded at the same time, and it will not be inferior to any team's midfielder.

Arsenal's only dominant position on the card is the striker, and Vieri and Bergkamp have both proved their strengths in the just-concluded World Cup.

At the same time, George Weah, the World Player of the Year, is still sitting on their bench, and Anelka and Ian Wright are also on the team. This striker combination should not be too luxurious.

Leaving aside the two forwards in the starting lineup, there is no problem for the other three players to play as the main players in other clubs. Arsenal's striker is too extravagant.

Of course, Manchester United still has Andriy Shevchenko on loan to Dynamo Kiev for training. Beckham heard that this kid scored 5 goals in the first [-] games of the season, and he is in very good condition.

But for the current results of the Manchester United team, there is nothing wrong with Ferguson reusing Shearer who has reached the peak. This is a choice that normal people will make.

Shearer is the present, and Shevchenko is the future. Two people with somewhat similar types will contribute to Manchester United at different times.

One hour before the game, when the two teams finally confirmed the starting lineup, the media found that the two head coaches did not put their minds on the lineup.

Both Ferguson and Arsene Wenger used the lineup announced yesterday, and the two are completely playing their names.

After the start of the game, the two teams skipped the trial stage and started a hand-to-hand fight in the midfield. The rhythm of the game was raised to the point where ordinary teams couldn't stand it.

Beckham once again received special treatment. As long as he has the ball in the frontcourt, he will encounter all kinds of care.

He is not afraid of this kind of treatment. As long as he can transfer the ball in time, other positions in Manchester United's midfield can be freed up.

In the 13th minute, Beckham encountered a double-team while dribbling the ball. He quickly transferred the ball to Keane, and the Irish midfielder moved to the left. When the Arsenal midfielder moved to Giggs, he suddenly passed the ball to the right. .

The Arsenal midfielder had to move in Beckham's direction again, but when they were halfway through, they found the ball was at Jonker's feet.

The Dutch slugger raised his foot and made a burst shot. Seaman blocked the football, but the power of the shot was too great, causing him to throw the ball and let it go. The football bounced into the penalty area. Shearer raised his foot and kicked the ball into the upper left corner of the football.

1 is better than 0!

With 6 goals in 5 games, England's number one center excitedly put his arms around Beckham and said: "David, I feel like I can score 40 goals this season!"

This premonition is very second-guess, and Beckham smiled and patted the back of the opponent's head to show encouragement.

Keane laughed and scolded: "Alan, it's all bragging anyway, why don't you just say that you can score 60 goals!"

So Shearer hit the Irishman in the chest after breaking the defense with a hammer, making the opponent scream.

Seeing that Manchester United played so comfortably in the positional battle, Wenger simply urged the players to speed up the pace.

The changes in Arsenal made the corners of Ferguson's lips rise. All these years, Manchester United has been trying to lead their opponents to run and bomb, but I didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to send them to the door.

Isn't this a surprise?

What he didn't expect was that the Arsenal team was not good at it. They first equalized the score in the 35th minute. Vieri used speed to shake off Stam in a counterattack together, and volleyed near the penalty spot to score.

Not long after the start of the second half, Bergkamp overtook the score for Arsenal again.

This attack was a thorough British style of play. Overmars passed the ball to the frontcourt, Vieri beat Stam back and Bergkamp followed up and succeeded.

1 is better than 2!

Manchester United trailed by a goal with 30 minutes left in the game. Ferguson did not expect Arsenal to be so strong.
