Some people say that the difference between working-class football and professional football is like the difference between square dancing and Michael Jackson dancing.
Unprofessional country football cannot be compared with professional football. It seems that dog meat cannot take the main seat.
But in fact, Arsenal and Manchester United were both formed by a group of workers who loved playing football in the early days.
Manchester is a transportation hub in the UK and the earliest industrialized city in the world.
The term industrialization is actually the same as demographic dividend, which is indeed a good thing from the macro perspective of the state apparatus.
But it is not a good thing for the people at the bottom, because whether it is industrialization or demographic dividend, the fuel comes from the people at the bottom.
They are contributors, not the biggest beneficiaries.
But people are not machines. Overly tiring work pressure and an overly depressing living atmosphere will make people's mental state extremely unstable and they need an outlet.
Football, a sport that causes hormones to explode and adrenaline to soar, naturally has the effect of digesting people's dull psychology.
Therefore, Manchester is not only the earliest industrialized city in the world, but also one of the cities with the strongest football atmosphere in the world.
"Glory, glory, Man United"
"Glory, glory, Man United"
"Glory, glory, Man United"
[Glory belongs to Manchester United]
"As the reds go marching on! on! on!"
[The Red Devils march forward bravely]
“Welcome to old Trafford its the theater of our dreams”
[Welcome to Old Trafford, this is our dream theater]
"We're ready to die we're ready to fight - its part of our history"
[We are ready to sacrifice, we are ready to fight - this is part of the history passed down by the team]
"This is the home of Manchester United, the greatest team in the world! Arsenal will die here!"
"Arsenal? Who? Are you talking about that poor team in sixth place in the league?!"
"Who is Chen Mo?! We have Ronaldo!!!"
"Watch your knees! Argentinian chick!"
"I bet Ronaldo can score three goals!"
The sky is dark and thunderclouds are rolling.
Lightning flashed from time to time in the dark thunderclouds, and bursts of thunder rumbled.
It was clear that a downpour was inevitable.
But the bad weather can't extinguish the flames in the hearts of Manchester United fans!
Under the thunderclouds, the Old Trafford Stadium was still in jubilation. A large number of Manchester United fans sang the Manchester United anthem, but more Manchester United fans were shouting at the Arsenal fans in the corner, who only had more than 10,000 people!
"The football atmosphere at Old Trafford is really scary. He Wei, do you feel it?"
All kinds of insults and boos were overwhelming. Standing in the commentary box in the corner of the stands, CCTV5 commentator Duan Xuan was wearing a black suit and holding a microphone.
Next to him, his partner He Wei smoothed back his crazy hair and said with a smile: "Of course, the whole world knows that Manchester United is the city with the strongest football atmosphere, but this is also the first time I have come to the scene to commentate. The atmosphere is really suffocating.
Okay, hello to all viewers and fans, welcome to the CCTV5 live broadcast room. I am the host He Wei, and next to me is Duan Xuan, who is very familiar to everyone. "
"Hello everyone, my name is Duan Xuan. Here, we would like to thank the leaders of the TV station and the staff of the Football Association. Without their help, it would be difficult for He Wei and I to come to the scene to provide commentary this time. .”
"That's right, it's a different feeling to be able to watch the players play up close. Especially since this game is so crucial, haha! Fans will be able to see Chen Mo up close later!
Of course, you don’t need to be envious. In a few months, our domestic friends will be able to see Chen Mo playing for Argentina at the Yanjing Olympics! "
In front of the camera, He Wei's expression was very excited. He was a true fan of Chen Mo. But when he heard this, Duan Xuan did not continue to praise Chen Mo, but said: "Indeed, Chen Mo is very popular in China. Arsenal is also very popular in China now, but no Manchester United fans like Arsenal, and no Manchester United fans like Chen Mo."
The tone was somewhat unkind.
As a colleague, He Wei knew that Duan Xuan preferred Manchester United, so he had to forcefully explain: "Indeed, it was Wenger who broke Manchester United's Red Devils dynasty after he took over Arsenal in 1996!
But to be honest, at that time, Manchester United was still the top team in the Premier League. After all, Wenger's Arsenal was coming fiercely, but Arsenal did not have the Champions League.
In the minds of many fans, no Champions League means no foundation!
But with the arrival of Chen Mo, everything changed!
Two Champions Leagues in three years!
Before this season, everyone believed that Arsenal was the new top spot in the Premier League. However, due to Chen Mo's injury and the rise of Ronaldinho, Manchester United is now showing signs of regaining the top spot in the Premier League. "
"Actually, it's not considered recapture."
Duan Xuan shook his head: "Manchester United has always been the number one in the Premier League. Manchester United is the team that has won the most Premier League championships in history, and Manchester United also has two Champions Leagues.
When it comes to domestic leagues, Arsenal is no match for Manchester United, and when it comes to European competition results, Arsenal is just the same as Manchester United. Therefore, it is a bit inappropriate to say that Arsenal has become the new number one. "
"Well, what you said makes sense. In that case, how about you predict the score?"
"Well, three to one."
"Manchester United three? Chen Mo has already made the squad for this game, although I don't know yet whether he will start."
He Wei raised his eyebrows strangely, and Duan Xuan smiled and said: "Of course it's Manchester United three. To be honest, I think three to one is conservative. Chen Mo was quite strong before, but he was seriously injured for three months. He played against West Ham in the last game He has also been sitting on the bench in the United games.
It can be seen from here that even if he recovered well from his injury, he was definitely not as exaggerated as the news media reported, otherwise Wenger would not have stopped him from playing for a minute in the last game.
What's more, I have to say Ferguson's finishing touch. This season, Ronaldinho, who is in a good position, has been fully activated, scoring 20 goals in 18 rounds! What is this concept? If he keeps playing like this, he might be able to score forty goals in the league! Who was the last person to score 40 goals in the Premier League? There is no one in the history of the Premier League who can score 40 goals in a single season!
As long as Ronaldinho continues his form, he will be the first person in the history of the Premier League! "
"It seems that you really like Xiao Luo very much, haha."
"That's for sure. What man doesn't like a domineering president, haha. How about you also make a prediction?"
"Should I make a prediction? Then let me make a one-to-zero prediction. Arsenal's offensive firepower has indeed dropped off a cliff since Chen Mo was missing. However, after more than half a season of running in, their defense has gotten better and better. The tacit understanding between the players is obviously much better than at the beginning of the season.
However, I think the key to the game still depends on whether Chen Mo can play. If he does,"
Before He Wei finished speaking, Duan Xuan interrupted with a smile: "It's useless for him to play! As you said, Arsenal has gone through half a season of running-in, and its defense is getting better and better. Manchester United has also been running-in for half a season." In this season, it is impossible to give Chen Mo the opportunity to blitz again.
Want me! The starting lineups for both sides are out!
Manchester United is still 433.
With Rooney and Tevez as the two centers, Ronaldinho seems to be standing in the attacking midfielder position, but fans who have watched him play know that this season he plays more like a free agent in the frontcourt.
The midfielders are Hargreaves, Scholes and Carrick. It seems that Ferguson does not think that Chen Mo will start in this game and does not let Park Ji-sung start to guard.
As for Manchester United's defense, it is still Evra, Ferdinand, Vidic and Brown, it is still their regular defense lineup.
Next let’s look at Arsenal
Arsenal still has a 433 lineup.
Bell, Giroud and Di Maria form a front three.
In the midfield are commanders Nasri, Rakitic and Flamini.
The back line is Marcelo, Mascherano, Samuel and Clichy!
Sure enough, no matter what I said, Chen Mo was not included in the starting lineup! "
Duan Xuan had a smile on his face, and He Wei's smile froze: "It's a pity that we still can't see Chen Mo start. This is definitely a pity for Arsenal fans.
However, I guess Mr. Wenger is also thinking about Chen Mo's injury. I believe that Mr. Wenger will definitely not let Chen Mo sit on the bench in this game. After all, without Chen Mo, Arsenal will have a very difficult game.
Okay, now that the players from both sides have entered the stadium, let's return the camera to the scene! "
