447 Bloodbath Arsenal

Manchester United met Portuguese powerhouse Benfica, Swiss champion Basel and Romanian mysterious team Galati Steel in the Champions League group stage. Regarding this result, Manchester United eo David Gill said that he was sure that new coach Ancelotti would be happy with this result. Feel happy with the results.

"We played a great game against Benfica and Sir Bobby Charlton recalled that great game in 1968 before the draw. We played a lot of great games against Benfica after 2000 so we are looking forward to returning. Go to Portugal to compete.”

"We have had great success in the Champions League over the past few years and we are looking forward to the new Champions League season. I'm sure Sir Alex Ferguson will be happy about it. We have met a new Romanian team. Team, congratulations to them for coming to this tournament. We look forward to playing there."

As Gill said, Ancelotti is very happy with the result. In an interview with Manchester United's official website, Ancelotti said, "It was an interesting draw and there were no real travel difficulties. We are looking forward to the game. Obviously We have played against Benfica before and they always play great games. Both clubs have a great history. Basel is a Swiss team and they do very well. Swiss teams always play a lot Young players. We met Basel in the group stage in the 2002-03 season. We really don’t know Galati Steel very well, but this is the charm of the Champions League. You have the opportunity to compete with the new team. They are definitely worthy. It’s a good thing for them to be able to participate in this tournament.”

Manchester United's main defender Ferdinand also expressed satisfaction with the result of the draw. Leo wrote on his special account, "A very good draw. Judging from past history, it is difficult to play Benfica away from home. We and Benfica both have a great history. Basel And Galati, here we come!”

However, in an interview, David Gill stated that he did not expect Manchester United to sign new players in the last week before the transfer window was closed. When asked whether there would be further signings this summer, Gill said, "I don't think so. So, we've looked at a few players, but we're very happy with the squad we have. We made some great additions this summer and we got a young, dynamic squad. We're looking forward to a great one. This season, I'm sure, a lot of other teams think the same. A lot of clubs have strengthened, especially in England, but we feel we've improved now and I'm sure Ancelotti will get the best players for this season. "

The Champions League has entered its 20th year since it was changed to a league system. Since Milan won consecutive championships in 1989 and 1990, only Manchester United can break the "curse" of the team successfully defending the title!

Who can take the lead first? The first suspense of the new season's Champions League is naturally Barcelona. The team has spent a lot of money to introduce Alex Sanchez and Cesc Fabregas, which can be said to be even more powerful. Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and other stars Still at the top of their game, there is no doubt that Barcelona will be the favorite to win the title.

The second team that attracted much attention is Real Madrid. Mourinho’s biggest challenge in his club coaching career: Can he become the first coach in history to lead three different club teams to win the Champions League? In his second year at Inter Milan, he helped the team win the Champions League. The team regained the "Big Ears Gold Cup" after 45 years. So after a year of running-in, Real Madrid has introduced powerful players like Rooney. Can the "Magic Birds" further stimulate the potential of the superstars in the team and impact in La Liga and the Champions League? Barcelona’s monopoly?[

The third team is Manchester United. Although new coach Carlo Ancelotti has led the team for a short time, Ferguson's player base is still there. You must know that Ferguson won 13 Premier League championships in 19 years. For the first time in 20 years, Manchester United does not have Ferguson.

Leading to the Champions League.

According to Ancelotti, Manchester United has appeared in the Champions League group stage for 16 consecutive years and it is not easy to win the last four championships. Whether there is a fifth trophy may require both strength and luck.

The key! They acted quickly and accurately in this summer's transfer market, quickly completing the replacement of the old and new teams. However, the long-rumored Sneijder has never arrived, so can the current lineup help the Red Devils go further than last season's Champions League?

The fourth team is still unknown, that is, the "dark horse" that fans are looking forward to. Last season, Tottenham and Shakhtar Donetsk reached the top 8, which was unexpected.

Erke 04. It’s a pity that this team eliminated Watts last season

The Bundesliga rivals Rencia and Inter Milan have only appeared in the Europa League play-offs this year. What will shine this time is the star-studded Manchester City, Milan, which was listed in the second tier but has made a strong recovery, or Milan

Is it Dortmund who swept the Bundesliga last season?

Manchester City is in the third tier among Premier League teams, so it is not surprising that they fall into the "Group of Death".

Next year's Champions League final will be held at the Allianz Arena. Bayern Munich will bravely break through and get goalkeeper Neuer and Jerome Boateng to join. Coach Heynckes is expected to strengthen the team's defense. And powerful center Mario

-Gomez has exploded after a year of silence. With the support of "Roberg" behind him, he will definitely be the favorite to qualify.

Villarreal has reached the semi-finals and semi-finals in the Champions League twice before, and also advanced to the semi-finals of the Europa League last season. The only away defeat for Porto led by Villarreal at the time was at the Yellow Submarine Love Song.

court!

Naples may be a relatively weak team in this group. They had the glory of winning the UEFA Cup during the Maradona era, but 2008 was their first return to the European competition in 14 years. Last season, they won 32 points in the UEFA Cup.

They were eliminated by Villarreal in a strong battle. However, with excellent attackers such as Cavani, Hamsik and Lavezzi, they are not afraid of any opponent at home.

After Nasri's arrival, Manchester City's lineup has become very strong, and even the midfield and frontcourt are overcrowded with attackers. The test for Mancini is not only how to rotate cleverly to prevent potential "troublemakers such as Balotelli and Tevez"

"Affects morale. More importantly, with this

How to adjust the defense when facing strong opponents? We can see in the pre-season Community Shield, last round of the Premier League and last season's Europa League that once they leave the Etihad Stadium, their defense is not strong enough to withstand pressure. Can they break out?

To even seize the top spot in the group, Manchester City must count on a complete victory at home.

Arsenal have maintained undefeated victories against Bundesliga teams in the past 5 home games, including a 2:0 victory over Dortmund in 2002; they have remained unbeaten in the past 8 visits to France. The data seems to be more favorable, but they have lost Francesco and Nas.

The Gunners here cannot be the same. It is gratifying to maintain a complete victory in the play-offs and reverse Udinese, but the scenes in both rounds were turbulent, with the midfield and backcourt

It is necessary to invest heavily in strong reinforcements in order to continue the impressive record of qualifying for the Champions League group stage in the past 11 years. The problem is that the club has not been used to introducing stars with inflated prices for many years, and there are only 6 days left in the transfer door.

, how is it possible that there are still high-level players who are "cheap and good"? I'm afraid gun fans can't expect any higher. The team is destined to usher in a transitional season.

Both Chelsea and Manchester United got good draws and are sure to get the top spot in the group. Especially for Manchester United, only Benfica has the ability to compete with them. Basel of Switzerland and the new Romanian Galati team provide more to Sir Alex Ferguson.

Opportunities to hone newcomers. Chelsea can mainly observe how Villas-Boas integrates newcomers Mata, Lukaku and "problem" Torres into the tactical system they designed. Valencia has continued to sell stars in recent years, and its competitiveness has declined.

If Leverkusen's Ballack can play the main role, he has a chance to return to Stamford Bridge. But it is estimated that they and the Belgian team Genk can only compete for second place in the group.

After the Champions League group draw is over, the third round of the Premier League's Battle of the Century is about to come, with the Red Devils Manchester United facing Arsenal at home at Old Trafford!

Different from the past, Ferguson always likes to bring some smoke to the opponent before the key battles. Ferguson, who sings about the rivalry, has retired honorably. Wenger meets Ancelotti, so the pre-game war of words can be avoided.

Ancelotti is more like a good old man and shows enough respect for Arsenal. The Premier League battle of the century without any smoke before the game makes people feel a little nostalgic for Ferguson.

The red-nosed old man will never let you guess what he will say in the pre-match press conference. Wenger's gradually honed skills and gentle tit-for-tat responses.

Scenes like this can only be stored in historical data![

Nowadays, the Red Devils are no longer in the era of Ferguson, and Arsenal are still like a loser. This Premier League match of the century has somewhat lost part of its unique charm.

Manchester United beat Arsenal 8-2 at home, which was Manchester United's biggest victory over Arsenal in its century-old history. After the game, Ancelotti said the score was surprising, but Ancelotti once again defended Wenger.

"It's surprising because when you play against Arsenal you always feel it's a tough game. We were too careful at times and they created a lot of chances because they still had quality up front. Arsenal's

The overall strength was weakened, but we still completed the task. Overall, we are very satisfied with the results and we have maintained the same level we have been doing."

"I don't think it's fair to criticize Wenger. Of course, I sympathize with Wenger. He is a great football man. He has done an unbelievable job for Arsenal over the past 15 years. What he has brought to Arsenal

He brought a lot of exciting players to Arsenal. He deserves the respect. Wenger sold many of them at high prices.

Look after Arsenal's books. People forget these things. It's a cynical world now and when you lose some games, you're judged immediately."

Ancelotti confirmed that Welbeck missed England's two European qualifiers against Bulgaria and Wales due to injury. "He felt that he had strained his ligament and he will miss the England game. This is a pity because Welbeck is in the right state at that time and he is England's best player."

valuable asset.”

Li Yu scored a hat trick in the game. After the game, Li Yu said that the game was unbelievable. In an interview with Sky Sports 1, Manchester United No. 9 said, "Today's performance was unbelievable, and we deserved this."

The result. Regardless of whether Arsenal's squad is complete or not, every time we play against them we try to score."

The first goal scored in this campaign was also Li Yu's 100th goal for Manchester United. "Many of my landmark goals came in the game against Arsenal. I played for Ever

My first goal for Manchester United was against Arsenal in the league; my first goal for Manchester United was against Arsenal in the league."

Arsenal lost 2-8 to Manchester United, suffering the Gunners' most disastrous defeat in 115 years! The direct cause of the Gunners' rout was suspected to be the "tofu dregs"-like fragile defense. In addition to the appalling rookie Jenkinson born in the 1990s, the Gunners'

The other three defenders were like zombies, allowing the Manchester United players to ravage Szczesny like wolves. Even though the Gunners goalkeeper tried his best and made 6 wonderful saves in the game, he could not prevent the team from being slaughtered by the Red Devils.

Picked up the ball from the goal eight times in 90 minutes...

In the 22nd minute, Manchester United's Juan Mata sent a pass in front of the penalty area. Arsenal's two central defenders, Jolu and Koscielny, were unable to hold Welbeck. Jolu fell to the ground in embarrassment during the physical contact. Koscielny

Ni was also squeezed away and was in a panic, while the Red Devils' post-90s youngster easily headed the ball in the small penalty area and penetrated Szczesny's fingers. Facing this kind of false "barrier" from the central defender, Szczesny was furious.

He smashed his water bottle to the ground and vented his anger in this way.

And this was just the beginning of a series of tragedies. In the 28th minute, Jenkinson allowed Li Yu to cross easily, but Traore's weak header clearance became an assist for Manchester United's new aid Mata, completing the latter's wonderful arc; in the 41st minute

In the 63rd minute, Jenkinson's reckless foul gave Li Yu the opportunity to show off his free kick skills; in the 63rd minute, Qiaolu repeated Jenkinson's tragedy and once again provided Li Yu with a stage to perform the full moon scimitar; in the 67th minute

, Li Yu passed the ball to the left side of the Gunners penalty area. Traore was completely invisible at this moment, and Nani easily scored with one shot.

In the 70th minute, Jenkinson allowed Mata to calmly take the ball in the penalty area. Park Ji-sung received an assist and penetrated Jolu's wicket and Arsenal's gate; in the 76th minute, the right rib of the Gunners guarded by Jolu and Jenkinson was blocked.

Li Yu's long pass penetrated, and Jenkinson, who hurriedly covered up the defense, knocked down the little pea from behind who was in a one-on-one position. He accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off. Six minutes later, Evra easily passed from the right of the empty Gunners.

Cutting in, winning a penalty kick, Li Yu completed a hat trick; in the 91st minute, Lansbury, who made a temporary appearance as a right back, watched Mata put an end to the massacre.

How can the word "miserable" be used! Arsenal's four starting defenders - Jenkinson, Djolu, Koscielny and Traore - each received 3 points in the post-match ratings of "Sky Sports".

3 points, 4 points, ultra-low scores of 3 points; and in the fan ratings, they only got 25 points, 27 points, 32 points, and 28 points. In this extremely open offensive battle, Arsenal's 4

The defender only had 4 successful steals in total, while Evra of the Red Devils completed 4 times alone!

What's even more sad is that this is already the "strongest" defense line that Arsenal can field. The Gunners only have 18-year-old Miquel as a defender on the bench!

This is not the first time that Arsenal's defense has caused the team to collapse. Last season, Arsenal was chased by Newcastle for 4 goals in 22 minutes in the Premier League. In the League Cup final, Arsenal was defeated by the relegated team Birmingham. This scene

The tragedy is still vivid in my mind. However, in this summer's transfer market, while selling Clichy and letting go of Ebrae, the Gunners only introduced one defender, Jenkinson, while watching Manchester United introduce Phil Jones.

, Manchester City acquired Clichy and Savic, but the Gunners repeatedly "passed by" excellent defenders such as Gary Cahill, Chris Samba, Jakielka, and Scott Dann.

Not only is the defensive recruitment quite weak, but also in the midfield and frontcourt, after losing Francesco and Nasri, Arsenal failed to sign Mata, but was intercepted by Chelsea midway. It was in this round of the Premier League that Mata 30

Minutes later, he stunned Stamford Bridge and scored his first goal. Nasri also scored a hat-trick of assists in his Manchester City debut. Faced with this situation, how do Arsenal feel?

For this reason, Wenger has been in the spotlight by fans and the media, but this elegant and calculating coach, despite his many shortcomings, is actually just a poor scapegoat compared to the two real culprits.

.Arsenal’s real scourge is the club

The club's CEO Gazidis and chairman Hillwood! It is the ability of these two executives in the transfer market that makes Wenger's lineup such a "remnant"; these two corpses are useless.

A senior executive is the real culprit behind Arsenal’s biggest humiliation in 115 years!

How can such a situation not make people miss Arsenal’s former vice-chairman David Dein? As the famous Paul Mason, who played for the Gunners for 11 seasons, pointed out, it was David Dein who played for the Gunners in 2007.

The departure of David Dein led to today's tragedy! Mason said: "They will miss David Dein. Since he left, everything has collapsed! Dein always makes good signings.

, during his tenure, Arsenal signed Overmars, Petit, Vieira and Henry! Arsenal is a legendary club. There are only three days left before the summer closure, so they must spend money on signings quickly!

In the next week, Sir Alex can sit on the beach and enjoy the sun, but Wenger must work hard to sign new players! I think Arsenal need to buy 1-2 central defenders, 1 central midfielder and 1 center forward.

"

However, getting four reinforcements in three days is easier said than done. What’s more, Arsenal has been languishing in the transfer market for four full years! Let’s break down what Arsenal have done since David Dein left in the summer of 2007.

What has been done in the transfer market?

In the 2007-08 season, Arsenal sold Henry (21 million pounds), Reyes (10.5 million pounds), Ljungberg (4 million pounds); signed Fabianski (3.8 million pounds),

Nia (7.9 million pounds), Las Diarra (2.5 million pounds), Eduardo (10.5 million pounds). In the 2008-09 season, Al

Senna sold Flamini (free), Lehmann (free), Gilberto Silva (2.2 million pounds), Hleb (13.2 million pounds), Senderos (2.2 million pounds);

Signed Sylvester (840,000 pounds), Ramsey (5.63 million pounds), Arshavin (14.5 million pounds), Nasri (14 million pounds).

In the 2009-10 season, Arsenal sold Adebayor (25.5 million pounds) and Kolo Toure (16.5 million pounds); signed Vermaelen (10.5 million pounds).

In the 10-11 season, Arsenal sold Gallas (free), Sylvester (free), Campbell (free), Eduardo (6.35 million pounds); signed Chamakh (free), Kosciel

Neighbors (11 million pounds), Squillac (5.7 million pounds), Miyaichi Ryo (undisclosed). This summer, Arsenal sold

Clichy (7 million pounds), Ebou (3 million pounds), Fabregas (25.5 million pounds) and Nasri (24 million pounds) were released, but Gervinho (10.5 million pounds) was signed.

pounds), Oxlade-Chamberlain (pounds 15 million), Joel Campbell (pounds 900,000) and Jenkinson (pounds 1 million).

As long as you compare the loss and recruitment of Gunners personnel, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Arsenal fell from the Champions League runner-up to today's Champions League seat with no guarantee. What is the reason!?

The Arsenal club once made a fan estimate and concluded that the Gunners have as many as 27 million fans around the world! Even in the second half of this disastrous defeat, the Arsenal fans sang in the Old Trafford stands.

Never stops: "We just love Arsenal! We just love Arsenal! Arsenal! We love you!"

However, can Arsenal’s shameful performance on the field and Arsenal’s senior management’s malfeasance and inaction be worthy of these infatuated fans!?
