………………

On December 2005, 12, Manchester United ushered in the last battle of 31.

This day is also Ferguson's 64th birthday.

On such a day, his disciples naturally hoped to give the old man the best birthday present with a hearty victory.

It was Yin Jun who made the first contribution.

In the 8th minute of the game, he opened the scoring for Manchester United with an assault.At the end of the first half, Van der Sar kicked the ball with a big kick, Ben Haim made a header and made a mistake. Yin Jun intercepted the ball past Jasklainen and shot into the net from a small angle on the left side of the penalty area. Manchester United went into the break with a 2-1 lead.

The second half turned into Ronaldo's "showtime", after experiencing the depression of hitting the post twice in the first half, the Portuguese showed his power in the second half.In the 68th minute, Rooney cooperated with Yin Jun and broke into the left side of the penalty area to make a diagonal pass to the far corner. Ronaldo scored from 5 yards in front of the goal.In the 90th minute, Ruud van Nistelrooy shifted from the left, Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball into the edge of the penalty area on the right, and the Portuguese shot low with his left foot into the net.

Just before the Portuguese ended the "massacre" with two goals, the home team's stands had enough enthusiasm to sing the birthday song for Ferguson Ferguson, which made the old coach smile frequently.

………………

"I want to fine Rooney's money!" At the press conference after the game, Ferguson made a surprising statement.

But this is just a joke, the 4:1 victory over Bolton, the old man is obviously in a good mood.

"Rooney's performance is amazing, his balance and effectiveness in the game are very good, but he once promised to score a goal as a birthday present for me, so I will fine him a week's salary!" Ferguson explained with a smile Said, "On my 50th birthday, we lost 1:4 to the Royal Garden Rangers. Relatively speaking, I feel very happy today."

What made him happy was Yin Jun. The Chinese scored twice in the first half was very important, so Ferguson quickly praised Yin Jun: "Yin played very well, just like he has been in the past three years. The way he played. He was always the one who put your mind at ease, as long as he was on the pitch, I didn't have to worry about my arrhythmia."

The third named and praised by Ferguson was Ronaldo. He scored 2 goals in the game, sweeping away the shadow of the downturn some time ago.

"I think it was his best performance of the season, he missed a few chances against Birmingham in the middle of the week, but today he hit every target and that's important for a young attacker."

Finally, Ferguson praised his old friend Allardyce: "Bolton is a difficult opponent. We did a great job to win. Not only the score, but also the content of the game is very good."

Manchester United entered 2006 with a victory, but the first game after the new year is tough. On January 1, they will go to Highbury to challenge Arsenal. Ferguson hopes that several sick generals can recover in time.

"Hopefully Brown, Smith and Scholes will be back in the team against Arsenal, I can rotate against Bolton and let the team adjust, but on Tuesday you will see a completely different squad."

Ferguson believes that Manchester United have now recovered their form and they will continue to put pressure on Chelsea: "The players are enjoying football, they are playing very determined, the team spirit is also good, maintaining stability is very important now. We must ensure that we are the best. Teams that are close to Chelsea, if they fall we have a chance, and getting a win against Arsenal on Tuesday is very important and we are up to the challenge."

………………

In fact, the war between Ferguson and Wenger started before the game against Bolton.Before the home game against Bolton, the Scot sneered at Arsenal, his next league rival.

In fact, the war was caused by Vieira, the former Gunners captain who had already left Arsenal.On December 12, "The Sun" published an interview about Vieira.In this interview, Vieira said that Manchester United's new captain Yin Jun is a coward, while Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy is a villain who stabs a knife in the back.Manchester United's use of such two people as the core of the team is destined to decline.

Hearing these words, Ferguson flew into a rage and said: "Coward? Liar? It depends on how you define these two words. Some people may say that spitting in people's faces is not so brave (alluding to Vieira A spit on ex-West Ham defender Ruddock in 1999). I didn’t ask Yin and Ruud what happened and they didn’t say it, but I don’t think it bothered them too much.”

Although Vieira has moved to Juventus, Ferguson still regards the French midfielder as a Gunner. This account still has to be credited to Arsenal.

Ferguson said: "Arsenal want to be Manchester United's opponent? No one will be as big as Manchester United. It is impossible for Arsenal. Their new stadium may make them more important, because it may bring them more box office. , I just don't know if they can attract 6 spectators a week. Besides, it's not enough to build 3 new stadiums and 33 teams to play against Manchester United!"

The old man continued to taunt: "Historically speaking, the game between Manchester United and Liverpool is the greatest. There are also grievances between our fans, but our players are always friendly. But between us and Arsenal Keane and Vieira are important but they weren't here then, were they?"

Although Ferguson severely belittled Arsenal, it has to be admitted that the next game between Manchester United and Arsenal received a lot of attention.

In fact, after Manchester United beat Bolton by a big score in the last round of the league, the media throughout England were already talking about this round of Arsenal's home game against Manchester United.

This game is a well-deserved focus match of this round of the Premier League!
