spn Manchester United defeated Arsenal 3-1 in an away game, which may become a watershed in the Premier League championship this season. -" After this battle, Arsenal, which is 5 points behind Chelsea in one more game, may gradually withdraw from the championship stage; and this season
The Premier League championship situation has also changed from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms to the two heroes competing for hegemony.
Compared with the starter who defeated Hull City 4-0 at home in the last round of the league, Ferguson made two changes in this game. Brown replaced the suspended Ferdinand; and Carrick replaced Owen. Before this game, Ferguson had made 41 previous appearances.
In face-to-face confrontations with Wenger, Sir Alex Ferguson won 16 times, Wenger won 14 times, and the two sides drew 11 times. After this battle, Sir Alex Ferguson expanded the winning-loss ratio between himself and the professor to 17:14.
In the past 4 contests between Manchester United and Arsenal in all competitions, Manchester United has 3 wins and 1 draw and remains unbeaten. However, in the past 4 league games where Manchester United has challenged Arsenal away from home, the Red Devils have not won once. In the past
In the 9 league away games against Arsenal, Manchester United only won once. That was in February 2005, when Manchester United lost 4-2.
Highbury. The two teams met at Old Trafford in the first half of the season. Manchester United relied on Rooney's penalty kick and Diaby's own goal to complete the comeback. The victory was not easy. If they win this game, Wenger will become the first
Two coaches reached 300 Premier League wins, but Sir Alex Ferguson did not let him succeed. The Scotsman expanded his Premier League wins to 439 games.
Since losing 1-2 away to Manchester City in the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals, Manchester United has won 3 consecutive games, scoring 10 goals and conceding 2 goals, with great firepower. The next three games will be a great success for Manchester United this season.
Extremely important. The next league game is against the relegation team Portsmouth at home. This is a game that must be won.
The next day, Chelsea will face Arsenal at home, and Manchester United can sit back and watch. Of course, Manchester United is looking forward to Arsenal scoring points in the away game. In that case, the Red Devils can reap the benefits and continue to maintain their lead over Chelsea.
Advantage. If Arsenal loses to Chelsea in an away game, the Blues will help Manchester United get rid of a pursuer, and the situation of two heroes competing for hegemony this season has officially formed.[
Before this game, Manchester United had lost 5 of the past 6 away games in the semi-finals minor leagues and had only one draw.
But in this game, according to the winning rule of Manchester United, which is the first game to score in the league this season, after Almunia scored an own goal, Manchester United will most likely win this game. The results also verified this. Manchester United
The first goal scored for the 15th time in the league this season ended up with 15 wins. The first goal win rate in the league is still 100%.
It is worth mentioning that of the four defenders Manchester United fielded for this game, three of them were substitutes. It was not that Wenger failed to see the loopholes in this lineup. Under his instruction, Ashavin attacked Brown's guard.
area, but in the end they were too hasty and failed to score. Instead, Li Yu and Rooney scored two consecutive victories in just 4 minutes, and the style of the game was set.
Last season, Manchester United suffered a double defeat from Liverpool in the semi-finals of the minor leagues. They had 1 win and 1 draw in two games with Chelsea, and 1 draw and 1 loss in two games with Arsenal. In 6 games in the semi-finals of the minor leagues, Manchester United only had 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses, accumulating 5 points.
Compared with Liverpool, which had 4 wins and 2 draws in 6 games, the top four minor league points were 9 points less, but Manchester United ultimately relied on its superior winning rate against weaker teams to win.
The total points exceeded Liverpool by 4 points to win the championship. So far this season, Manchester United has scored 6 points in the top four minor leagues with 2 wins and 2 losses in 4 games; Chelsea has scored 9 points with 3 wins in 3 games, and Liverpool has 3 points with 1 win and 2 losses in 3 games.
; Arsenal scored 3 points with 1 win and 3 losses in 4 games. Manchester United still has two games in the top four minor leagues this season, but their points have already exceeded last season.
For Manchester United, a more favorable condition is that of the remaining 14 league rounds, only two are in the top four minor leagues, and all of them are at home. The opponents are Chelsea and Liverpool respectively. The other 12 league rounds are not difficult, and the home games are played successively.
Against Portsmouth, West Ham, Rich
LeBron, Tottenham, and Stoke City. The stronger one among them is Tottenham, but Tottenham has not beaten the top four teams away from home for 16 years, and Manchester United is even better at beating Tottenham at home.
The game against Fulham can be called a battle of revenge. I believe Sir Alex Ferguson and his Manchester United will not miss this opportunity for revenge.
They have challenged Villa, Wolves, Bolton, Blackburn, Manchester City and Sunderland in away games. Among them, Manchester City and Villa's home stadiums are two difficult bones to crack. Once they win these two games, Manchester United will be more likely to defend the title.
Increase.
In other words, although the next 14 rounds of the league will be tough battles, Manchester United only needs to win these four focus games to be able to successfully defend the title.
Of course, they have to wait for Ancelotti's team to make mistakes, and the home game against Chelsea is the best chance to reduce the points. In the Champions League, a favorable condition for Manchester United is to play against Milan after playing Villa.
Before that, the team will have 6 days of rest, which is very critical for the Red Devils.
After the war, the European winter transfer window will also be closed. It seems that Manchester United only introduced a potential central defender Smalling in the winter transfer market. Although his background is average and his name is not loud enough, the maximum price can reach 14 million pounds.
The transfer fee has made the entire European
Europe is paying attention. If a miracle does not happen in the next 10 hours, Smallin will be the winter champion of the five major European leagues. A club with a debt of 71.6 billion pounds, but spent a sky-high price of 14 million pounds to buy a potential central defender.
It's hard to say that the Red Devils don't have money to sign.
The next question is, does Manchester United still have money to sign players this summer?
The answer is still yes. Manchester United EO David Gill interpreted all this. In an interview with bbfvelve radio yesterday, Gill talked about the offer for Benzema last summer. The top priority now is to retain Rooney and Li Yu, and absolutely not to sell cards.
Linton training base. Gill revealed that after Li Yu successfully renewed his contract, signing a new contract with Rooney will be an important agenda item for Manchester United this summer.
"We didn't get Benzema but we offered 35 million euros. We just made a call to the Glazer family and told them we wanted to make an offer of 35 million euros and they said 'good'. We made it.
The offer was made, but Benzema eventually went to Real Madrid for a price of more than 40 million euros.
Sir Alex Ferguson said publicly that it was too much. But if I were to say to Joel Glazer again, 'Sir Alex Ferguson wants a special player, do we have the money to buy him'? The answer would be a no.
An unequivocal 'yes'. They have proven that. From my personal point of view, the Glazer family will support whatever we ask. All they are thinking about is ensuring that Manchester United continues to be successful and continues to attract people.
Excited players who continue to create good results off the court."
"No one from the Manchester United owner to the coach has any intention of selling Cristiano Ronaldo. His contract with Manchester United ends in 2012 and we would have loved to give him another contract, but he said 'no'. He told us
After staying together for 6 years, he did an extremely good job, so he chose to leave.
There is no reason to keep an unhappy player and I can say with great confidence that we will not accept an offer, no matter how high, for a player we want to keep unless Sir Alex Ferguson agrees. Ferguson
The Jazz still have a lot of passion, and I think he's going to be here for many more years."
"Rooney's contract with us ends in 2012. He has publicly stated that he wants to stay here, and we also want him to stay. We hope he can sign a long-term contract with us. He is only 24 years old and has the best career record in his career.
The good years are yet to come. There are only a handful of British players who want to leave Manchester United to play football. I am 100% certain that Manchester United will never sell the Carrington training base under the Glazer family."
Arsenal's football is as exciting as ever. In fact, in the first 27 minutes, Arsenal took advantage of their home court advantage to allow Premier League hegemon Manchester United to score 0 shots. On the other hand, if the Gunners hadn't acted too hastily, Arshavin would have had a chance to score for Arsenal.
The one who comes out on top first. Even before this game, Sir Alex Ferguson warned that after this game, the three-strong battle for hegemony in the Premier League may turn into a battle between two heroes. Now it seems that Sir Alex Ferguson's prediction is very accurate.
The number of times Fabregas passed threatening balls in this game was one more than the combined number of threatening balls passed by all five Manchester United midfielders. However, the talented Fabregas was trapped in the double-team of Manchester United's muscular men.
.
Even when trailing 0-3, the iron-blooded Vermaelen still used a wonderful shot to reduce the score to two goals. Until the last moment before the whistle, the Arsenal team kept fighting for this goal.
Fighting for the result of every game is also fighting for Wenger’s belief in football.
But the bloody Red Devils cut Arsenal's brilliance into pieces. In addition to Nani, Manchester United's four engineering midfielders completely disrupted Arsenal's gorgeous dance.[
An obvious example is that in the second half, Asavin received Rosicky's pass and was about to break through. Scholes came up to tackle the ball without saying a word, and then friendly tried to pull up the Tsar, but the angry Tsar refused to shake hands with the ginger head.
In the past 5 years, I have persisted in myself
Arsenal, who believe in their faith, has a report card that is as pale as snow; while in the past five years, the bloodthirsty Manchester United has won 3 league championships, 1 Champions League championship and 2 League Cup championships, 1
9 championships including 2 Club World Cups and 2 Community Shields.
Arsenal’s cheapest season ticket price this season is 855 pounds, and Manchester United’s cheapest season ticket price is 513 pounds. Arsenal’s most expensive season ticket price this season is 1,825 pounds, while Manchester United’s most expensive season ticket price is only 931 pounds.
, equivalent to half of Arsenal. Compared with metropolitan cities like London, Manchester is just an industrial city in northwest England.
All these are enough to show that Manchester United is much more civilian than Arsenal. This team belongs to the British working class, but it has become a flag of the Premier League.
The snow is very white, Arsenal's record of 0 trophies in 5 years reflects Wenger's pale face; the blood is very red, 9 trophies in 5 years contrasts even more with Sir Alex Ferguson's rosy face than the red medal.
Manchester United finally got through the intense competition month of January. Li Yu and Ferguson also won the best player and best coach in January with their fruitful results in the month.
This is the sixth time that Li Yu has won the Player of the Month at Manchester United. After statistics, the media discovered that without Ronaldo, Li Yu has completely replaced Ronaldo's position in the club, and sometimes even plays a greater role.
Li Yu is proud that a Chinese boy who is less than 22 years old has achieved such brilliant results in a wealthy club like Manchester United. No 22-year-old young man can achieve such achievements.
Ferguson also put forward this point of view when he won the best coach, "With Li Yu's outstanding performance, Manchester United will continue the glory of last season!"
Just after the awards were handed out here, Manchester United proved Ferguson's point with another 6-0 victory at home at Old Trafford.
Portsmouth became another victim of Manchester United's butcher's knife. Li Yu contributed 2 goals in this campaign, Rooney scored a hat-trick, and the last goal was Nani's icing on the cake. What did people see with the new Manchester United Trident offense?
It is a luxurious offensive ability.
At the same time, Chelsea succeeded in attacking Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, causing Wenger to suffer two consecutive defeats and completely losing the right to compete for the final championship.
The competition between two strong players has become the current trend of the Premier League championship. Who can win the cup in the end? Every subsequent game between the two teams will have to be handled carefully.
In the 26th round of the league, no one expected that unexpected situations occurred for both teams. Manchester United, who challenged Aston Villa away from home, only took back 1 point in the away game.
According to the media, in the preview game of the League Cup final, Manchester United was completely contained by Villa's extremely rough defense. Rooney scored Manchester United's only goal in the game.
In the Chelsea game that started later, Everton did Manchester United a big favor. They defeated Chelsea 2:1 at home at Goodison Park.
After just one round of the league, although the top position in the standings has not changed, the situation has undergone fundamental changes. With one more game, Manchester United's lead has become 6 points, and the advantage has become 2 games.
!
After two consecutive rounds of league games, Manchester United will challenge Milan away from home on the evening of Tuesday, February 16, local time. In the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 knockout round, in addition to the eye-catching duel between the two giants, Beckham will face his old club for the first time in seven years.
Meeting with swords seems to be more topical.
Before the game, Beckham warned his current teammates that Manchester United's head striker Rooney was no less powerful than Ronaldinho, but at the same time said he would do his best to help the Rossoneri defeat his old club.
"For me personally, this is one of the most important games. But the team's victory over Manchester United and promotion is the first priority and what I hope for." Reuters quoted Beckham as saying, although
Beckham has been paying attention to the Red Devils since he left Old Trafford in 2003. "Manchester United has been in great form recently and their performance is very good. Rooney has shown his scoring ability. This will be a difficult game.
"
When asked whether Li Yu could be compared with Ronaldinho, the two-time World Footballer of the Year, besides Rooney, Beckham responded, "There is no doubt that I have always said that Li Yu is one of the best shooters in football. He
It's proven something. He's playing for a great club and doing what he does best and scoring goals."
According to Milan coach Leonardo, Beckham will not necessarily get a starting opportunity because of the special significance of the game to him.
Beckham himself said that even if Milan loses Maldini, Kaka and other players, the Rossoneri are still expected to defeat Manchester United. "Milan is still the same Milan, and the great team spirit still exists." Facing his old teammate Giggs
And his mentor Ferguson will not affect his performance. "Indeed, I have special feelings and memories for Manchester United. They will always be a part of my life, but now I will do my best to defeat them and contribute to Milan."
Achieve victory."[
As the former captain of the England team, Beckham could not avoid questions about Terry's "friendship scandal". In this regard, Beckham refused to comment. "Honestly, there have been enough said about this matter. I don't think I can
What more comments need to be made? This has nothing to do with me.”
If Beckham scores a goal against Manchester United, what will he say? Teammate Seedorf, as a "experienced" Dutchman, played against his old team Real Madrid in the Champions League when he played for Milan. He gave Beckham a tip: celebrate in the same way!
"If he scores a goal, he should celebrate it and people should understand that he does it not as a disrespect to the club that loved him and achieved so much there, but just out of emotion. I hope that by then the fans
I will applaud him."
Beckham is determined to kill his old club. Manchester United coach Ferguson said that the team is currently in the best condition. He also called on his players to seize the opportunity to become heroes in big scenes. Ferguson's confidence, in addition to a week's rest, and the last five games
With a good record of four wins and one draw, Li Yu has scored 27 goals. Li Yu, who ranks first in the Premier League scorer list, is the key to the Red Devils' victory.
"In every game, the question I think about is always how to score. Obviously my ideas can always be realized in the game." In an interview with "People", Li Yu was full of confidence. "I am a fighter and hate failure.
"My parents told me never to give up. The game against Milan will be very difficult, but we will give our best and beat them."
In addition, just as Beckham praised Li Yu as being comparable to Ronaldinho, Li Yu also reciprocated the favor by saying, "He was once the idol of Manchester United fans. I hope he can receive a warm welcome at Old Trafford in the second round."
Talking about other players in Milan, Li Yu said: "Seedorf is a difficult player, he is the best opponent I have ever encountered. Milan also has Pirlo, and maybe Ronaldinho will also perform well."
Ferguson agreed with the team's No. 9. Sir Alex Ferguson went to San Siro last Friday to watch Milan's 3-2 victory over Udinese in Serie A. Beckham came on as a substitute for Ronaldinho in the second half: "Losing Kaká has a big impact on them.
They changed their tactics due to the influence of the epidemic. But they still have a wealth of experience and smart players like Pirlo, Ambrosini and Seedorf. And if Patofa starts, they may
