Players from both sides were quarreling, and as the most famous pair of enemies in the Premier League, Wenger and Ferguson certainly couldn't escape.
Ferguson, who wore a pair of glasses, said in an interview with the Daily Mail: "I am eager to win this game, but this game will be difficult. Arthur and I are already familiar with our respective styles and formations.
Therefore, this game is not as beautiful as the outside world thinks. It may be a dull game. The result of the game itself is difficult to predict. No one is absolutely sure to win. It may even depend on some amazing performances of one or two players.
performance.”
When the reporter asked what kind of player he would be, Ferguson touched the tip of his nose, paused and said: "Well, any player, in such a game, any player's outbreak can change the game.
There is no doubt about their talent, but what I value more is those young players who have drive, ambition, desire to be heroes, and potential abilities. I believe my team has such players.
And Christie is such a player. I believe he can perform better, even as good as Xiao. As for Rooney, I am not worried about him. As long as he performs as well as before in this game, it will be fine.
, you must know that Arsenal was defeated by him alone."
"So, Alexander, what do you think of Xiao's performance?"
Ferguson pondered slightly and then said: "Although I don't want to mention him, I have to say that Xiao is an amazing player. He is an opponent worthy of our attention. I think Xiao Ge will create trouble for us in this game."
Small trouble, not only we think so, in fact, if Xiao himself looks at the outside reports, he will know how good he is. Xiao is definitely Arsenal's most important attacker now, and his performance will directly affect Arsenal.
Well, maybe he never noticed."
After finishing speaking, Ferguson's interest seemed to have dropped a lot. He simply answered a few unimportant questions, but never answered any questions about the game.
Ferguson's words caused a sensation in the whole of England. Ferguson changed his cautious character and praised the young players lavishly. At the same time, he also praised Xiao Ge in public, which made the whole of England feel a little weird.
At this time, Ronaldo and Rooney, after listening to the report about Ferguson's words, went even more crazy into training. At this time, they were all in excitement, looking forward to the game. Other Manchester United players also encouraged it.
With a lot of energy, he is going to win the game.
Each newspaper then invariably mentioned several young players, Ronaldo, Rooney, Robin van Persie, and Cesc Fabregas.
Xiao Ge has the most names and has successfully played the hero in the game against Chelsea. How he will perform is everyone's guess. No one dares to question Xiao Ge now. They don't want to be in the situation of The Sun.
Therefore, most newspapers promoted Xiao Ge and believed that he would once again play a new hero in the game. However, the Sun changed the norm and pointed out that Arsenal's victory or defeat would depend on Xiao Ge's performance.
After Ferguson finished speaking, Wenger did not escape either. Early the next morning, Sky Sports reporters were already waiting for him in the news room.
"Can Arthur please talk about the upcoming game?"
"Well, in this game, as Alexander said, I don't think our team's offense in this game will be as smooth as those teams we played in the previous rounds. Since Manchester United is very familiar with us, this may be more difficult than playing Chelsea.
, but we will not give up the way we score, offense is what we must persist with.
Similarly, I also think that the result of the game is likely to be determined by certain players on the team, but I think the game depends more on some experienced players, because they know what this level of competition means and know how to do it.
, and knowing how to seize opportunities makes it easier to seize opportunities.
I have always supported young and talented players and I also like such players. However, in this game, the best players still determine the course of the game. It may take a while for the young players to fully display their potential.
Talent, not now.”
When talking about Xiao Ge, Wenger said in a serious tone: "Xiao's performance this season is indeed outstanding, and he can even win the title of best player in the first half of the season, but the game is for eleven people, Xiao is just ordinary.
Just one member."
In an interview with Sky Sports, Wenger unexpectedly expressed reservations about young players and even deliberately belittled Xiao Ge's role on the field.
The remarks made by Wenger, who was considered a shot control, caused a greater sensation. At this time, the British press was filled with two different arguments, tit for tat, but both were spoken by two unexpected people.
Yes, the effect of these two arguments can only be seen after the competition.
At this time, in the training ground at Highbury, Van Persie, Cesc Fabregas, and Hleb, who have not yet achieved anything, have been training with great energy in the past two days, especially Van Persie, who seems to be recharged.
Likewise, great enthusiasm is put into training.
However, Xiao Ge still trained according to his own steps, and seemed to be in no rush. Seeing Fan Perxi sweating so hard in the cold weather, Xiao Ge didn't know what to think. He watched them training in a daze, with a few words.
Partially thoughtful.
"What's wrong, Xiao?" Vieira asked curiously when he saw Xiao Ge's appearance.
Due to the winter break, Vieira returned to London and his place of glory. Xiao Ge naturally liked this passionate and competitive captain very much. He talked about the game with him whenever he had the opportunity these days, and talked about the game.
Various possible trends for the team.
And Vieira also took great care of this Arsenal super star, repeatedly giving instructions to Xiao Ge on what he should do on the field and in training, so as to mobilize the confidence and trust of the players.
"Nothing, just..., Patrick, do you think our young players can win the championship?" Xiao Ge suddenly asked.
"Haha, Xiao, don't think blindly. You can definitely do it if you are so good. You are a group of talented players. Don't question your abilities and don't be interfered by the outside world. The coach's words may not necessarily mean that." Vieira felt.
Xiao Ge felt confused and patted him on the shoulder. He thought he was affected by Wenger's words and hurriedly tried to persuade him.
"Thank you, don't worry, Patrick, I don't care about what the coach said, I just haven't been in a good mood lately. Don't worry, I won't be defeated that easily." Xiao Ge smiled and hurriedly explained.
In fact, during this period of time, as Arsenal promoted the game against Manchester United, Xiao Ge was inexplicably affected by his past life. In those few seasons, Manchester United had become an eternal pain for every Arsenal fan, at least before he came here.
When he saw the verbal battle between Wenger and Ferguson this morning, Xiao Ge saw clearly that this was a battle between two old foxes who were determined to rebuild the team and took advantage of their young mentality.
One person is competitive, while the other person wants to take advantage of the other person’s young man’s impatience. It depends on the outcome.
The loser not only loses the game, but may also affect the young members of the team in the future and be unable to grow up quickly.
In his previous life, Xiao Ge clearly remembered that Arsenal's young arsenal gunners were far behind the new generation of Red Devils who grew up in Manchester United. The league, FA Cup, League Cup, and Champions League, these things pulled the status of the two apart.
Very far.
However, Arsenal should have been able to get these things, or at least have the opportunity to compete with Manchester United again. In the 2007-08 season, Birmingham's amazing kick completely defeated Arsenal, who had no veteran in the lineup.
It was ruined, and the good situation accumulated for most of the season was completely lost.
It not only ruined Arsenal's league championship dream and FA Cup, but also completely defined Arsenal's generation of young people as a youth army, and they were never able to grow into a championship-level team.
Manchester United's strong performance in the second half not only successfully defended the title, a new generation of Red Devils grew up, but also laid a more solid foundation for Manchester United's path to the giants. However, Arsenal, who originally had hopes of rising, turned into a pseudo-rich club, and the Gunners fell into a strange situation.
It's a weird circle, the favorite to win the championship year after year, but at critical moments, he suffers from injuries and mistakes.
Therefore, when Xiao Ge mentioned Manchester United, he felt a sense of oppression and unwillingness in his heart. The two giants, who were originally equally powerful, had completely different fates in the following seasons.
At this time, seeing Wenger still guiding the Gunners he personally trained with a cheerful face, perhaps he would not have thought that his subsequent coaching journey would be so difficult.
A feeling of wanting to run as fast as possible suddenly arose in Xiao Ge's heart, that kind of wildness that wanted to escape from depression, and there was a trace of madness in his eyes.
"Xiao, are you okay? Tomorrow's game~~~." Vieira, who was in Xiao Ge, could see the change in his mood and asked with some worry.
"Tomorrow's game will be exciting, right, Dennis, haha." Xiao Ge took Vieira's words and said with determination and confidence.
"That's good, Xiao, you are the most incredible player I have ever seen, haha." Vieira said understandingly, although I don't know how he adjusted.
Xiao Ge's eyes flashed with excitement. He would win this game no matter what, and no one could stop him from winning.
