Lin Yun opened his arms and ran to the sidelines like a glider.
He suddenly ran out of an S shape, and then ran out of an L shape, as happy as a 1.83 meter child.
All the fans seemed to be infected by him, with cheerful smiles on their faces.
Wenger applauded and finally pushed Giroud to the fourth official, indicating that he could play.
"Hahaha, Wenger is going to replace Lin Yun with Giroud, but Lin Yun has already scored a hat-trick. We used to say that only Wenger can stop Lin Yun, but now even Wenger has nothing to do with him. …
This is Lin Yun's 36th goal of the season and his 27th goal for Arsenal. If he had joined Arsenal at the beginning of the season, it is still unclear who will win the Premier League championship this season. . "
After Lin Yun came off the field, the game became more intense.
Rooney's desire for performance was really strong today, threatening Arsenal's goal again and again, but he still failed to score a goal until he was replaced by Hernandez.
Then Giggs replaced Nani and Manchester United set off another wave of climax, but Arsenal still survived tenaciously.
The game ended as Evra headed Giggs' corner kick over the crossbar in front of the penalty area.
3-1, Arsenal has completely locked in a place in next season's Champions League and is able to devote all its energy and body to this season's Champions League journey.
Lin Yun was still thinking about how to show off in front of Rooney, but found Van Persie walking towards him.
The two smiled perfunctorily at each other, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
Lin Yun tugged on his jersey, "Change?"
"OK."
After exchanging jerseys and shaking hands again, Van Persie turned around and was about to leave, but couldn't help but turn back, "If...I mean if, five or eight years later, you have won everything at Arsenal." Personal honor, but no championship, will you leave?"
"I really want to tell you that I won't, but I know that is actually very difficult, because when things don't really fall on you, any assumptions are empty, so from my current perspective, it is difficult for me to give You have a clear answer," Lin Yun said seriously, "So I won't let this happen. What I'm saying is that no champion can do this."
Van Persie nodded, "I used to be as confident as you, believing that I could win everything for this team. Well, Henry, Fabregas, Nasri, etc. must also have thought so, but what happened later We all know it."
Lin Yun shook his head, "It's time to turn these things around. Now that you've made your choice, you should face everything that comes next calmly. At least for now, Henry and you have gotten what you want because of your choices. So, Next, you should allow yourself to accept the bad things, as nothing can be perfect."
Van Persie smiled. He probably didn't expect to hear such words from a little kid. He stretched out his hand again and shook Lin Yun's hand. "You are quite interesting. It's a pity that you showed up too late. Of course." , this is for me.”
"From my perspective, everything is just right."
After saying goodbye to Van Persie, Lin Yun said a few more words to Rooney before leaving the stadium.
At the post-match press conference, Wenger first praised the players' performance, and then was asked about Lin Yun's dependence.
"It cannot be denied that Lin is a super talent. He scored all the goals of the team and helped us win, but we all know that he cannot do it alone. This is the strength of the team... As for Van Persie, I am very happy that he did not celebrate after scoring. This is a sign of respect for the fans...Will Sagna leave? Sorry, the answer will not be until the summer transfer window opens..."
It was Ferguson's turn. Everyone thought that the old man would find some excuses to evade the defeat. Unexpectedly, he generously said that the better team won the game, and then once again criticized Wenger and his team. Sending Champions League blessings.
Compared with the sparks and yellow cards flying on the court, this press conference was simply too harmonious.
At the end of the press conference, this focus battle also officially ended.
When Manchester United plays at home, Ferguson likes to invite the opponent's coach to his office for a drink after the game. Most Premier League coaches readily accept this invitation, but Wenger refuses him every time. Usually his assistant coach Instead, go have a drink with Ferguson after the game and have a chat.
But this time Wenger unexpectedly invited Ferguson to sit with him.
Obviously, he also felt something was wrong with his old rival.
Taking out a bottle of unknown brand of red wine and pouring two glasses of it, Wenger asked directly: "What's wrong with you? Has the condition relapsed?"
Ferguson was diagnosed with a heart problem in 2004 and was equipped with a pacemaker. In May last year, while attending a dinner with Glasgow Rangers, Ferguson suddenly suffered a nosebleed and was sent to the hospital for treatment. Chu had another health problem and had a minor surgery, which caused him to miss a few games.
All signs indicate that Ferguson's body has always been unhealthy. Wenger feels that this is probably the only reason why he is so abnormal.
"I definitely don't feel good," Ferguson nodded, "I'm leaving."
"Um?"
When someone talks about leaving, Wenger's first reaction may be that the other party wants to transfer. But if Ferguson talks about leaving, all he can think of is retirement.
Like everyone else, he couldn't imagine Ferguson coaching anyone but Manchester United.
"Is it that serious? Is it life-threatening?"
"Health is only one reason. The main reason is that I feel tired."
On the one hand, it is his body, and on the other hand, his two old partners, Manchester United's chief scout Martin Ferguson and Manchester United CEO David Gill are about to leave this summer, which makes Ferguson suddenly lose enthusiasm for this career.
"This is not like you," Wenger frowned. "You said that as long as your body allows, you will stay in the coaching seat of Manchester United."
"Yeah, if I don't look like me anymore, what's the point of doing all this."
"I think you are just temporarily depressed. Maybe you will regret your current decision in a few days."
"No, this time I am very sure that this season is my last season," Ferguson picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "The wine is good, I didn't expect you to have such good stuff."
"Did you forget? You gave it to me."
"Really? I even gave you wine?"
"It seems that you are really not suitable to stay in this position..."
"Are you saying I'm old? You're not much younger than me."
"Isn't 8 years too old? I've decided that I won't work for another 8 years."
"Haha, I guess you won't be able to do it for that long..."
The two old men were silent for a moment, and both fell into memories.
It is the memory of two people and the memory of two teams.
When Arsenal experienced its first heyday created by Chapman in the 1930s, Manchester United was still struggling in the second tier; but when the Busby Boys took off, Arsenal was forgotten by everyone; Then the Gunners ushered in another golden period in the early 1970s, but the Red Devils suffered another trough.
It is magical and clever to say that these two time-honored brands have established their own dynasties before the establishment of the Premier League. Their golden periods have almost passed by. Even in the late League One when both teams were capable of competing for the championship, the young Ferguson was full of enthusiasm. His thoughts were all about "kicking Liverpool off the throne", but he never considered Arsenal as an opponent.
But everything changed the day Wenger landed at Highbury from the Japanese League.
He surrendered to captain Adams and asked the players to stop drinking, smoking, eating vegetables, and drinking more water. He fundamentally changed the living habits of traditional English football players and turned them into real professional players.
Ferguson soon discovered that this seemingly gentle and harmless Frenchman was not a good person, and the facts soon confirmed his intuition.
In the 1997/98 season, Manchester United should have easily won another Premier League championship. They were up to 12 points ahead of the second place. However, under the leadership of Vieira and Peletti, Arsenal won ten consecutive games. At Old Trafford, Overmars's killer strike snatched the Premier League title away from Manchester United. Wenger also won his first league and FA Cup double.
The two teams were completely at odds, and the two began a classic confrontation that was incompatible with each other.
There is obviously no direct conflict in terms of geography, religion, politics, etc., but it has developed into a mortal enemy.
1998-1999 was Manchester United's legendary treble, and it was also the only treble achievement of the league, Champions League and FA Cup in the history of a British team.
After the treble, Manchester United transformed into a super team, winning three consecutive league championships, and in 2001, they also slaughtered Arsenal 6-1 at Old Trafford.
In those three seasons, Arsenal ranked second in the league. Until the 2001-2002 season, relying on a wave of 13 consecutive victories and Wiltord's winning goal, the Gunners were crowned the league champion at Old Trafford, but they were proud. Ferguson insisted that his team was the better one, and then uttered the famous saying: "Everyone thinks his wife is the most beautiful at home."
The 2002/03 season took the feud between the two sides to a new level.
Arsenal was once far ahead in the standings, but then Manchester United won nine out of ten games and played Arsenal 2-2 at Highbury, setting the tone for the league championship.
That's only half the story of that season.
The two teams met in the FA Cup in February of that season, and Arsenal defeated their opponents at Old Trafford.
After the game, a furious Ferguson directed all his anger at Beckham. A flying boot left a bloody wound on Beckham's brow bone.
There are rumors that it was because Beckham's words hit one of Ferguson's most sensitive points: Wenger is much better than you...
In the 2003/04 season, the feud between the two sides reached its peak. Manchester United relied on a penalty kick to end Arsenal's 49th defeat. After the game, Arsenal and Wenger were angry and quit. The two teams crowded the player tunnel. Ferguson He also got his head shot off with a piece of pizza.
It was not until the 2004-2005 season, with the rise of Jinyuan Football and the arrival of Mourinho, that the grudges between the two sides temporarily came to an end, and the way both sides even wrote the end was full of ritual: the two teams were in football In the final of the FA Cup, Arsenal defended until the penalty shootout with the whole game passive, and finally had the last laugh.
That was the last title Arsenal ever won.
After that, the two teams embarked on completely different life paths: Manchester United continued to fight for the championship and today has become one of the most successful football clubs in the Premier League and even the world; Arsenal suffered from debt burdens and was no longer competitive. Became what everyone calls Asuna.
In a blink of an eye, eight years have passed since the two teams took turns to dominate the Premier League.
Wenger and Ferguson also became the best rivals in their lives during their 10-year love affair.
And now, Ferguson says he's leaving...
Wenger was in a daze and couldn't say goodbye.
