Although it was very unpleasant on the training ground.
But of course Van Persie can't say that when facing the media.
The media really want to know what Van Persie thinks of this game.
Van Persie first expressed his congratulations on the current situation of his former club: "I am very happy to see them performing well."
However, after Van Persie finished speaking, he immediately changed his tune. He was worried that Manchester United fans would question his figure, so he immediately added: "But I am a Manchester United player now, and I will fight for the honor of Manchester United. I said , I came to Manchester United to win the league, no matter who the opponent is! I am eager to succeed here, and I feel good!"
The media went to interview Arsenal players again, hoping to get some explosive remarks from their mouths, so that they could get more traffic in the news.
But it's a pity.
Most Arsenal players and Van Persie are former teammates, and everyone is a worker. Even if they really don't like each other privately, they are unlikely to express it publicly in the media.
As a result, the media can only get some answers they don't want to get.
Otherwise, it can be said that media people are smart.
You players don’t want to offend anyone, right?
Then go interview the fans!
Before the game, some media interviewed Arsenal fans on the streets.
"We will defeat them! We will defeat them!"
"Robin Van Persie! You damn traitor!"
"I hope the team can win the championship this season and let those who leave see what a wrong choice they made by leaving!"
Fans decried Van Persie's betrayal.
He had just put on the team's captain's armband, put on the No. 10 jersey, and after playing the best statistics of the season, he chose to leave.
This made Arsenal fans feel deeply betrayed.
As much as they once loved Van Persie, they now hate him.
The deeper the love, the deeper the hate.
But when the players on both sides were standing in the tunnel waiting to play, the players on both sides were somewhat silent and had little communication with each other, although there were still some old acquaintances in their respective teams.
For example, former teammates, national team teammates, etc.
But there was no chatting and laughing before the game.
Arsenal and Manchester United are not rivals in the traditional sense, but they are undoubtedly the pair that have competed with each other for the longest time in the Premier League.
So the relationship between the two parties is definitely not much better.
What's more, there is Robin van Persie's thing this season.
Many Arsenal players couldn't help but look at that familiar figure when they walked out of the tunnel. The former Arsenal No. 10 is now Manchester United's No. 20.
The Flying Dutchman, Robin van Persie.
However, everyone only took one look and looked away. After all, this is a key battle that the entire Premier League is watching.
Ye Luo stood at the front of the queue, but he did not look back at Van Persie.
He has no interest at all in the "Arsenal No. 10 before and after" matchup that is being hyped by the media.
Manchester United is very good and a very strong opponent.
It's enough to know this.
Competing with Van Persie?
Where to start?
For Yello, any player of Van Persie's level who is placed next to him is suspected of being frivolous.
Of course.
If Van Persie wins this game - or Manchester United wins, then the media will definitely have something to say.
Of course Ye Luo would not let this situation happen.
The two teams were silent until they came out.
But when players from both sides came out of the tunnel.
Huge cheers erupted from the stands at Old Trafford.
Dream Theater Old Trafford, one of the most famous stadiums in the football world, is the home stadium of Manchester United, the largest club in England.
But in fact, this stadium is very old. Compared with many modern stadiums, the facilities of this stadium appear to be more old-school.
However, this has not affected the popularity of this stadium.
The traditional English sunken pitch has a great sound focus effect.
Cheers swept through the entire stadium.
The stadium radio was playing the names of players from the home team Manchester United.
Every time a player is called, Manchester United fans will cheer.
Often the decibel laughs from the fans' cheers can tell which player is the most popular.
But there are exceptions.
For example, now.
When the Manchester United home broadcast announced in a drawn-out voice: "Robin."
The scene was filled with the deafening shouts of Manchester United fans in unison: "Van Persie!!"
To create this effect, many Manchester United fans may even have deliberately restrained their volume when cheering other players' names.
The Dutch got the loudest cheers of the team.
Even team heroes such as Rooney, Ferdinand and Carrick did not receive as high a cheer as him.
But this is obviously not the norm at Old Trafford, because no matter how good Van Persie is, he has only joined Manchester United for more than two months. How can he compare with Rooney and others in terms of popularity.
But before the game started, Manchester United fans gave Van Persie such a huge cheer. The purpose was of course to express their support for the Dutchman.
Media reports and hype.
Arsenal fans attack.
This made Manchester United fans very unhappy, so they supported Van Persie in this way.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Van Persie clapped towards the stands with a smile on his face.
When it was the turn to announce Arsenal's lineup, the voice of the live broadcast was much weaker than before.
Basically it can be described as perfunctory.
The Manchester United fans, of course, booed every Arsenal player's name.
Compared with the cheers, who boos the loudest shows who Manchester United fans hate or fear the most.
But when Ye Luo's name was played.
The decibels generated by the boos at the Theater of Dreams were almost comparable to the cheers Van Persie received before.
The deafening boos shook everyone's eardrums.
The reporters in the media gallery couldn't help but look askance.
"Ye Luo seems to be under a lot of pressure in this game."
"But that's nothing to him."
"Which stadium has he walked into that wasn't treated like this?"
The reporters in Long Kingdom were talking a lot.
Such scenes are of course commonplace for Ye Luo.
No matter which away game he plays, the fans of the home team will "greet" him in this way.
Because everyone knows who is the most threatening person.
Ye Luo's face was calm and he didn't pay attention to those boos.
If boos could affect his performance, he wouldn't be able to perform so consistently.
The beginning of his career almost started with no way out and being despised by everyone.
Just boos.
It is impossible to even cause him some psychological fluctuations.
"This is also the first time I have set foot on the turf of Lao Tragu!"
Duan Xuan said with a very excited voice.
"Manchester United is the overlord of the Premier League. This game can be seen as a showdown between Yello and the overlord of the Premier League! This game is also a battle for the top spot in the Premier League! If Manchester United wins, they will overtake Arsenal to top the list!"
"The main forces on both sides are coming out, don't dare to neglect!"
As the commentators were talking.
Players from both sides have already stepped onto the court.
Then comes a series of pregame rituals.
Arsenal won the right to choose a side of the field opposite the one they had warmed up before, so that they could attack in the first half in the half of the field they were already accustomed to.
And Manchester United won the right to kick off.
They can attack from the start of the game.
So sometimes, there are different opinions on which one is better, the right to pick the edge or the right to kick off the ball.
But the players won't dwell on it.
Anyway, the final result of the game will definitely not be determined by the ownership of the right to pick the edge and the right to kick off.
Players on both sides stood in their respective positions.
Now the boos and cheers in the stadium have gradually subsided. Everyone is staring at the stadium, holding their breath, waiting for the start of the game.
Old Trafford is getting quieter.
The referee's whistle was particularly sharp.
This seems to be a signal.
Except the signal to start the game.
It was also a signal that woke up the entire stadium.
The stadium, which had seemed quiet before, suddenly erupted into thunderous cheers.
It was like a sudden explosion of thunder.
Contest.
Officially begin! !
Wenger and Ferguson shook hands and exchanged pleasantries before the game. Both sides are already very familiar with each other.
After the two shook hands, Wenger chose to stand on the sidelines, while Ferguson chose to sit on the coaching bench.
But this does not mean that Wenger is less calm than Ferguson, nor does it mean that Ferguson is more confident than Wenger.
Ferguson was actually very nervous - you could tell by the speed with which he chewed his gum.
He chewed his cheeks frequently and stared at the court without blinking. Even when he was sitting on the coach's bench, his back did not lean on the back of the chair. Instead, he sat with only half his buttocks and his body leaned forward. .
So far, Yelo has scored 18 league goals in 12 league rounds.
This kind of scoring efficiency is really amazing.
But Ferguson was not surprised at all.
Before the start of the season, among the teams pursuing Yello, Manchester United has actually been very popular.
Ferguson even went to Malaga in person to invite Yello to join.
But after going round and round, Yello finally joined Arsenal.
This is really surprising.
At the same time, Ferguson also regretted it.
At that time, it was said that when Ye Luo failed the physical examination, he hesitated for a few days.
It was in these few days that Wenger took the lead.
This old boy moves pretty fast.
Ferguson glanced at Wenger standing on the sidelines and complained in his heart.
The main players of both teams played their best.
After all, this is the focus of the league, and both sides have nothing to hold back.
For the home team Manchester United, except for the Red Devils captain Vidic who is absent due to injury, the other positions are basically the main players.
Goalkeeper De Gea, center back is Ferdinand partner Evans, right back Rafael, left back Evra.
In the midfield, the two central midfielders Carrick partnered with Cleverley. As for the veteran Scholes, who retired and came back before, and the Red Devils winger Giggs, they basically play in the midfield now. Two veterans, Wang Laoji, the younger brother and sister fan in the middle, temporarily sat on the bench.
The two wide midfielders are Valencia and Ashley Young.
The forward line is the partnership of Robin van Persie and Rooney.
At the back of the offensive line, Manchester United has Portuguese winger Nani and Mexican forward Xiaopea Hernandez on the bench.
As for Arsenal.
It is also a 4312 position. The only difference is that Arteta, who has returned from injury, has replaced Chamberlain. The three defensive midfielders are Arteta, Coquelin, and Ramsey.
The defense looks more solid.
Since this was the first meeting between the two sides this season, neither side immediately launched an offensive.
Instead, a trial phase lasted for nearly ten minutes.
Both sides have offense and defense against each other.
In the tenth minute of the game, the scene of the game changed.
Arsenal organized an attack in the frontcourt. Yello retreated to receive the pass and then pocketed the ball to the left. Cazorla received the ball on the left and spiked the ball. When preparing to pass, he was beaten by Manchester United's right back. Raphael fell to the ground.
Rafael was actually helpless, because he planned to rush to tackle the ball when Yelo received the ball, but Yelo did not stop the ball and hooked the ball directly to the right without even turning around.
Rafael was convinced that Yello didn't look back at all when passing the ball.
Therefore, it is normal for Rafael to make a mistake in judgment at this moment. This resulted in that when Cazorla got the ball and Rafael regained his position, Rafael fell far behind in terms of position, even if Cazorla is not fast, and it is impossible to catch up and regain his position, so Rafael can only choose to commit a battle damage foul.
"In the tenth minute of the game, Rafael committed a foul by pulling Cazorla and received a yellow card. Rafael's defense this time was too reckless. If there is any link at Manchester United that is the weakest, it may be on Rafael's side. The Brazilian full-back has the heart of a winger, and the defense on his side is the most worrying part of Manchester United." Andy Gray said, "Now in the first ten minutes, as a defender, he received a yellow card, which will affect Manchester United next. The game was very unfavorable.”
Ferguson finally stood up from the coaching bench, carefully walked down the steps from the Old Trafford coaching bench to the stadium, and then raised his arms to vent his dissatisfaction to the fourth official.
He thought this was Manchester United's first foul in the opening game, so he actually showed him a yellow card.
It's just too harsh.
This is still at Manchester United's home court!
Is there any more home field advantage?
The old Sir Alex, chewing gum, roared at the fourth official.
If it were an ordinary head coach, the fourth official would have already summoned the referee to deal the cards at this time.
But the old man in front of him was no ordinary person. The fourth official had no choice but to endure it. He pressed down his hands to signal Ferguson to calm down.
But Ferguson was unyielding.
The members of Arsenal's coaching staff raised eyebrows.
The TV broadcast showed a scene of Ferguson, his face red with anger, and he angrily returned to his seat.
Wenger also sat back on the coaching bench at this time.
"This guy is a little impatient."
Wenger said.
"Why? The game has only started ten minutes." His assistant Black was a little confused.
"This is obvious. This old man originally planned to kidnap Robin from us and rely on the strike partnership of Robin van Persie and Rooney to win another Premier League championship! He may think that the only competitor is Manchester City. After all, they almost won the championship last season. Yes." Wenger shrugged.
"But who would have thought that we could get Yello?" Blake turned to look at Ferguson in the distance who looked like an angry fighting cock.
He planned to win the last Premier League championship and then retire gloriously, but he didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway. The pressure of competition became even greater!
Just thinking about it, I can understand Ferguson's mentality.
"But this also shows that Manchester United is not easy to play in this game!"
It is definitely not easy to play a game faced by Ferguson with such an attitude of paying every penny.
While the two were talking, Manchester United launched an attack.
Evra dribbled the ball along the sideline, and after a one-two with Rooney, he dribbled the ball forward and was shoveled out of the baseline by full-back Sagna.
Manchester United won a corner kick.
In the first ten minutes, Manchester United played very cautiously in the first ten minutes. They must have been affected by Arsenal's victory over Chelsea in the last game and they paid great attention to defense.
At the same time, Arsenal did not press heavily at the first time, but instead tested the opponent's depth.
The game seemed bland.
However, with the yellow card received by Rafael and Ferguson's entanglement with the fourth official on the sidelines.
This seemed to flip a switch on the game.
The rhythm began to suddenly become faster.
Before Evra created this corner kick, Manchester United had already begun to speed up its passing speed and frequency of forward passes.
Evra came to take the corner kick, but he did not send the ball directly to the goal.
Instead, he sent the ball to the top of the penalty area! !
Robin van Persie did not know when he wandered into this area.
Facing the ball falling from the air, Van Persie just opened his stance, volleyed and volleyed!
"coming!!"
to the exclamations of the commentators.
Yelo rushed out immediately. When Evra drove the ball towards the top of the penalty area, he knew what the opponent was going to do!
The football that Van Persie pulled out was blocked by Yello with his foot. The football that originally flew straight towards the goal bounced into the air and finally flew out of the baseline.
Manchester United won another corner kick.
"oh"
In the stands, Manchester United fans exclaimed.
All Manchester United fans then applauded Van Persie's shot.
The television footage immediately began to replay Van Persie's volley.
"The cooperation between Evra and Van Persie, this corner kick is obviously carefully rehearsed, just to create shooting opportunities for Van Persie from the outside. Van Persie's shooting skills are also quite good. The ball from the corner kick keeps coming. The ball was drawn directly. Judging from the path of the football, if Ye Luo hadn't blocked the ball, it would have gone to a blind corner!" Duan Xuan marveled, full of praise for Van Persie's shot.
Many fans of the Dragon Kingdom are also amazed by Van Persie's shooting skills.
After all, it is very difficult to volley directly without stopping the ball.
To be able to handle it so well, ball feel and shooting skills are both indispensable.
In the commentary box, Sky Sports TV commentator Andy Gray was also cheering for Van Persie's shot.
"Van Persie has shown his outstanding form! Before the game, almost all the media's focus was on him. His move from Arsenal to Manchester United is undoubtedly the most popular transfer window in this season's summer transfer window except for Yello's move to Arsenal. The biggest transfer news, Van Persie has received so much attention in this game, he will definitely be under a lot of pressure, but if he can lead Manchester United to win this key battle, all the pressure will disappear and all the problems he faces will disappear. Solved easily."
Seeing his shot blocked by Yello, Van Persie held his head in regret.
Ye Luo glanced at Van Persie, with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
This shot is of high quality.
You can't underestimate your opponent too much.
Van Persie noticed that Ye Luo was looking at him. He smiled at Ye Luo, but what he said was not a friendly greeting, but his declaration of war.
"I will definitely defeat you!"
he said.
"??"
Ye Luo was stunned for a moment.
Why, are you Dutch people so good at it?
You are a low-lying country, not an island country. Your average height is still so high. You should be on a par with that country, right?
Van Persie did not wait for Yello to respond. He walked into the penalty area and prepared for the second corner kick.
Ye Luo shook his head slightly.
He often encounters similar challenges.
After all, even the most critical media will not deny that he is one of the best players in the world - but in fact, many times, the media will directly remove this "one".
"Manchester United won consecutive corner kicks, and Manchester United's offense started to gain momentum!"
The commentator on Manchester United's official TV station was very excited.
Continuously winning corner kicks can indeed be seen as proof that the offensive momentum has picked up.
This time the corner kick was on the same side, so it was Evra who took the kick.
This time, of course, he will not continue to deal with the penalty in the same way as the last corner kick. After all, there are still some changes.
He looked toward the restricted area.
At this time, Manchester United's high points have come in, the two central defenders Ferdinand and Evans, the two forwards Robin van Persie and Rooney, and Carrick and Cleverley on the outside.
This created a situation of grabbing multiple points in the penalty area.
Evra took a run-up and drove the ball towards the forward point.
While competing for Rooney's header, Koscielny struggled to push the ball out of the penalty area. The football fell to Cazorla's feet. He turned around with the ball, dribbled along the sideline, and then looked up at the other player. one side.
"Arsenal's counterattack!"
Amid boos at Old Trafford.
Cazorla raised his foot and prepared to pass the ball to Yelo, but at the critical moment Carrick appeared and rushed forward, blocking Cazorla's pass from the sideline.
Suddenly, the Manchester United fans in the stands cheered and applauded Carrick's defense this time.
But their cheers had just begun.
They saw Cazorla already standing on the sidelines and picking up the ball. Before they could react, the football was thrown into the field.
Throw-in ball, quick serve!
Cazorla sent the ball to Yelo, who was also advancing at high speed!
Yelo quickly moved closer to the sideline after seeing Cazorla's pass being blocked.
The tacit understanding between the two former Malaga teammates played a key role at this moment.
Yelo directly received the ball, turned around, took the ball forward and passed the feet of Rafael who was flying in the tackle.
Raphael only scooped up air! !
Due to the attack on the corner kick, Manchester United's two central defenders were at the front, so the three players remaining in the backcourt were Valencia, Ashley Young, and Rafael.
But after Rafael's tackle came up empty.
In front of Yelo, only Valencia is left!
"Ye Luo!!!"
Amid the exclamations of the commentators, it was only one step for Yelo to pass Valencia.
Not even a fake move, just one step forward, accelerating, cutting the line, and throwing away the opponent! !
Valencia, who once wore the No. 7 jersey of Manchester United, is very fast, but in the race with Yello, Ecuador Yancheng continued to become more and more desperate.
In the end, De Gea can only be counted on to save the team.
After Yelo dribbled the ball past Valencia, he found that De Gea was still on the goal line!
"Attack!!"
Ferguson on the sidelines was jumping.
But De Gea still did not break out of the small penalty area.
This is a characteristic of De Gea, he is not good at attacking and passing.
Of course.
His goal-line reflexes are top-notch.
But this time Ye Luo didn't give him a chance to show off his goal-line skills.
De Gea, who did not attack, could not create any trouble for Ye Luo.
He doesn't even need to continue passing.
Ye Luo looked at De Gea's position and pushed with the arch of his foot.
The football passed over from the other side of De Gea. The football, which was close to the ground, had a small arc on the ground due to its strong rotation. It touched the far post at a not particularly fast speed. Got into the goal!
The ball went in!
"Ye Luo. Beautiful!!"
"Calm thrust!!"
"Arsenal breaks the deadlock!!"
"In the 19th minute of the game, Arsenal, playing away from home, took the lead! Are they going to replicate the scene of their last big win over Chelsea?"
"It was originally a chance for Manchester United, but Arsenal counterattacked quickly. Cazorla's pass was blocked by Carrick, but his quick throw-in allowed the counterattack to continue. Yello followed up with speed He broke through Rafael and Valencia in succession and calmly pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal to score!"
The commentators in the commentary box were eloquent.
Old Trafford was slightly quiet the moment the football rolled into the goal, but the next moment, boos erupted like thunder.
These boos were of course directed at Ye Luo.
But Ye Luo didn't care. After scoring the goal, Ye Luo stretched out his arms, backed away from the stands, and called his teammates to come up and celebrate the goal.
He had a smile on his face.
It seems that this goal is indeed easy for him.
A very slippery counterattack goal.
Such balls account for a lot of Yelo's goals.
In terms of beauty, this ball is not ranked high, so there is nothing exciting for Ye Luo.
But Arsenal's other players and coaches are excited.
This is a goal against Manchester United at Old Trafford!
Scoring this goal and winning this game is as satisfying as winning the championship for the Arsenal players.
Wenger raised his arms high, his face flushed, and he was very excited at the sight.
The members of the coaching staff and substitute players behind him also rushed to the sideline with cheers. Everyone hugged, cheered and celebrated together.
Manchester United's players were a little confused.
One moment, it was their offense, and the next moment the opponent had already sent the ball into their own door.
Why is the opponent's counterattack efficiency so high?
Van Persie chased him all the way, but he returned to the front of the penalty area. When he was still more than 30 meters away from the goal, Yello had already scored.
He stopped, holding his head in his hands, with a depressed look on his face.
He just boasted that he would defeat Ye Luo.
As a result, someone scored a goal the next moment.
My face hurts so much
Van Persie looked at Ye Luo, who was surrounded by his teammates, feeling speechless and depressed.
Ferguson chewed gum faster.
This frequency cannot be said to be chewing.
obviously.
Sir Alex is very angry!
But he didn't know who should be responsible for venting his anger.
There is no cathartic goal.
From a defensive perspective, do Manchester United's players have any big problems with this ball?
In fact, no, it's not his fault that Valencia couldn't catch up with Yello.
And De Gea.
He had his own problems, and even if De Gea immediately attacked the ball, it would not help. Yelo facing the goalkeeper alone was basically a goal.
This can only be said.
Arsenal's ability to seize opportunities is too strong, and Yelo's scoring ability is too good.
But what can you say when your opponent plays better than you.
I have nothing to say.
Ferguson blushed and felt very uncomfortable.
(End of chapter)
