Chapter 1172: Right and wrong, the 220th confrontation

The next day, another final team also came out, which was the same great Liverpool.

In this way, the team in the FA Cup final is Manchester United vs Liverpool, and there is no more perfect matchup than this.

Of course, Liverpool doesn't want to meet Manchester United. It's good to meet any team, but this is not what they can choose.

No matter which field you are in, no one wants to meet Manchester United.

But this happened a month later, and the eyes of England returned to the Premier League.

The Premier League this season is extremely fierce. Whether it is the league champion or the top four, there is still no winner when there are three rounds left in the league. Especially for the teams that compete for the fourth place, there is only one game between the third and sixth places, and any team may go from heaven to hell.

Arsenal's match against Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium is considered to be the most influential game, and this game will affect the fate of six teams.

Manchester United still holds the initiative to win the championship. As long as they maintain a complete victory, the final victory will still belong to Manchester United. Arsenal also maintains the initiative to compete for the championship, but their recent condition is extremely bad. They lost 2:3 at home in the last round. They are also at home, so what about them facing Manchester United?

The Times reporter interviewed Wenger, who said bluntly: "Last week's game was a setback. We lost a good opportunity to score points, but Arsenal had won many key games before, so we have reached our current position. Our goal is to enter the Champions League, and the loss last week will not change our view on the top four. We think we still have the initiative and we can continue to win and win the top four in the future. It is difficult to play against Manchester United, but isn't this the case every season? Manchester United has to be distracted from the Champions League semi-finals and we have a chance."

Wenger said this every season, but it was in an era without Ferguson. After Ferguson came back last year, Arsenal had a temper when facing Manchester United. In addition, Dong Fangzhuo returned to Manchester United, in fact, Arsenal's chances of winning were really not very good.

Another team in the championship team, Chelsea captain Terry said: "This is the first time in my life. To be honest, I usually don't watch such games, which is a bit of a waste of energy, right? I hope the ball will enter the net, but I can't do anything. We have 3 games left. Manchester United will be a challenge for Arsenal, but the old saying is that it is difficult to play in all Premier League games, no matter who the opponent is. Winning the league championship is not easy. Do you still remember Manchester City narrowly defeating QPR in the last round in 2012? We also have some difficult games waiting for us. We must win all of them and continue to put pressure on our opponents."

However, considering Arsenal's current state, Chelsea coach Boas did not dare to have too much hope for it: "I think I will watch the game at that time. If there is nothing else to do, I hope I won't yell because we have no influence on other games. Now it seems that Arsenal cannot really be able to..."

Boas is not optimistic about Arsenal, and Arsenal is too unsuccessful.

"So we'll see, Manchester United will be ready, we'll see if Arsenal is ready, it's a normal game where we only got a draw, and they were in a much better shape at the time, but the score was 0:0. If Arsenal can get 1 point or what, and we can beat Leicester again, we'll have a chance, but it'll still be difficult. We just need to keep focusing on our game."

Now Arsenal fans are in a dilemma. Although they are very disappointed to see such a sluggish team, if they block Manchester United and let Chelsea win the championship, it is not a scene they are willing to see. However, if they lose to their arch rival Manchester United "smoothly", Arsenal fans will feel uncomfortable. Arsenal defender Mertesak is very sober: "When I go out to walk my dog, Arsenal fans come up to tell me that they hope that Chelsea will win the championship rather than Manchester United."

"But we should consider ourselves better because we need three-pointers to play in the Champions League. I think our teammates know what we want to do and there is no need to mobilize."

On Manchester United, the whole team is very calm. Dong Fangzhuo said in an interview with Goal Network: "For Manchester United, no matter who the opponent is, victory is our only goal. We are a very mature team. Everyone won the league championship last year, and they can withstand the pressure. I told them that we want to reshape Manchester United's glory and we want to win the triple crown."

"They may not have thought about it at the beginning of the season, but now everyone's mind is all about fighting."

"But when going to Emirates Stadium, Arsenal players obviously won't say that: Come on, Manchester United, even if you score a goal... They also need points and need to advance to the Champions League, so this is a Champions League knockout match, and there can only be one winner, and even a draw is a failure."

"At first glance, Arsenal is like a tiger with a tooth extraction, but, it is still a tiger. All we have to do is keep enough focus and beat them in Manchester United's way."

In recent days of training, Rashford and Rooney have re-entered the main lineup. It can be seen that in the key battle, Ferguson still chose to trust the old captain Rooney and the newcomer Rashford. Ferguson needs Rashford's speed and Rooney's luck every time he plays with Arsenal.

Another striker, Van Persie, has been in good shape recently, but if you return to your old club, you will definitely be booed, and your condition becomes suspicious.

As for Falcao? As for everything he showed in the game, Ferguson no longer had hope for him.

At noon Saturday, Falcao did not even enter the roster in the game list released by Ferguson. In the goalkeeper position, the young De Gea was the unstoppable main force. On the back line, Valencia, Smalling, Jones and Ashley Young formed a partner.

The midfielders are Fletcher, Carrick, Fellaini, Dong Fangzhuo, and the forwards are Rashford and Rooney.

Although he will play Barcelona at home in the middle of next week, Ferguson still chose the player he trusts the most.

Arsenal, the formation was 4141: goalkeeper Szesny; defenders Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal and Gibbs; midfielders: Arteta, Wilhelm, Chamberlain, Ramsey, Sanchez; forwards: Villbeck.

At the press conference before the game, Ferguson and Wenger were a little taciturn. Without the bickering and psychological warfare of the past, they would rather regard this game as a very ordinary game.

However, the fans of both sides still fought very lively in the stands, and there was no quiet in the noisy stands. Both sides wanted to overwhelm the opponents, but you should know that this was simply impossible. In the end, the 22 people on the court had to decide the outcome of the game.

Arsenal fans shouted:

"We will make you lose the league championship!"

"You guys will have nothing!"

"Wait for crying."

Manchester United fans fought back:

"Haha, kidding? Wait for the Europa League next season, you can't even go to the Champions League."

"Fight for the four crazy monsters, don't go and play the Europa League."

"We have league championships, we have Champions League, what do you have? Tell us loudly, oh, yes, you have the FA Cup. Ah, don't mean, we have the FA Cup, and we have won several of them over the years. We also have the League Cup..."

...

All Englanders are focusing on the game, and 50 countries from around the world broadcast the game live.

"I think the guy who doesn't want to see Manchester United win the championship is definitely Wenger. He would rather Chelsea win the championship than Manchester United show off again. Although both sides were very low-key before the game, the fire had already ignited in his heart." Reinkell knew Ferguson and Wenger very well, "so we can't think that Arsenal is easy to bully at home because of his poor condition before. Every year at this time, Arsenal will show terrifying combat effectiveness, let alone against Manchester United."

"At this moment, Boas must be sitting in front of the TV and watching the game with his disciples. Once Manchester United loses or draws, they will definitely jump up. Their game will be held two hours later, but if Manchester United wins the game, it will definitely hit them very hard."

Eight years later, he returned to the Emirates Stadium. Except for the familiar Emirates Stadium and the old Wenger, everything else was strange. He knew everyone in the Arsenal team, but no one had ever fought with him.

Most of the guys who have fought with him have retired, and a very small number of them are still active on the court. Of course, those guys are also close to retirement.

On the contrary, Van Persie, who was once the main striker of Arsenal, became club teammates with him...

Professional football will also be emotional. When everything around you becomes very strange, you will feel a little lonely inexplicably.

Not only did he glance at Van Persie not far away, but Van Persie kept lowering his head, as if he was unwilling to look up at the stadium he was familiar with.

Perhaps, he is unwilling to face it again. Van Persie devoted all his football youth to Arsenal, but he has never won the league championship here. In his long career in Arsenal, he has only won the FA Cup, but he has tasted the taste of the league championship for the first time after coming to Manchester United.

He doesn't owe Arsenal, but he still feels a little guilty because he leaves, because he draws...

When he returned here last year, he encountered a sky full of booing and insults. This year, he has been on the bench and is no longer the core of Manchester United's forward line.

But when we walked out of the player's passage together, Arsenal fans still gave him the biggest boo.

"Robin Van Persie, Fark Squid."

"Fake Squid."

Arsenal fans are not polite at all.

Of course, he would not have encountered all this, all of it came from celebrating with the slid rails in front of Arsenal fans after scoring the goal...

Van Persie seemed to be numb, walked to the bench with a expressionless face, and then sat down quietly, just as if she had never heard of it.

"We can hear fans booing Van Persie on the spot."

"Even King Dong has been forgotten by Arsenal fans. As Arsenal's biggest victim, they are now only focusing on Van Persie. You can imagine that fans hate Van Persie too much."

"Of course, I don't think Van Persie is at fault."

"His departure has always been difficult for Arsenal fans to accept, but I can really understand Van Persie because he is unfortunate at Arsenal and is always tortured by injuries. He has been with the team as long as possible, but he has seen players around him who are capable of competing for the championship one by one."

"As a former player, I can fully understand Van Persie's decision to leave the team, but from the perspective of the fans, you can understand why they are very, very disappointed with their favorites joining Manchester United and winning the league title."

"Faced with the reality, Van Persie almost helped Manchester United win the league championship by herself. Arsenal fans certainly hope that Van Persie stayed at the team, stayed healthy as much as possible, and helped the team win the championship with such performance. However, after seeing him leave the team, it is difficult for fans to forgive him."

"The more you succeed in other teams, the more fans will hate you, which is easy to understand."

"When Van Persie left, he said that the little boy in his heart helped him make this decision, and it turned out that his choice was right, he won the Premier League title. Now, he may win more this season."

"It is impossible if anyone expects Arsenal fans to welcome Van Persie with open arms. Fans will hope that the players will be loyal. Van Persie is unfortunate. His life has reached a crossroads. England's greatest club and the greatest coach in the world have thrown an olive branch to him. No matter who it is, it is difficult to refuse."

"He is exactly the same as King Dong. King Dong had helped the team win the first six championship in European football history at Manchester United, becoming the world's number one, leaving after success. Fans have always loved him, and he is back now."

People are really incomparable, but if Van Persie has a choice and can succeed in Arsenal, how could he even think of leaving? No one likes to leave a team with deep feelings.

The camera finally switched to the court and Manchester United got the kick-off.

Dong Fangzhuo, Rooney and Rashford whispered and met in the middle circle arc for a few times before they stood back on their positions.

Leinker couldn't help but sigh.

"There were not a few players left who stood on the court and fought. Carrick, Fletcher, Rooney, and King Dong were all on Manchester United's side, while Arsenal was the only rebel Van Persie left."

"Although the main color of these years is blue, I believe the red color will come back."
