Chapter 107 Battle of Tianwang Mountain

Exiting from the Champions League was a great stimulus to Li Mo.

He truly felt what is called "powerlessness".

Without the support of his teammates, it is indeed difficult for him to rely on his personal strength to solve opponents like Bayern.

The atmosphere within the Arsenal team became a little gloomy, but Li Mo still trained step by step.

The day after his teammates returned from the Allianz Arena, Li Mo finally heard a familiar voice: [Pirlo's direct free kick ability template] has been integrated.

In addition to honing his heavy artillery skills these days, he successfully ignited his heavy artillery skills.

Li Mo estimated that his long-range shooting ability had improved a lot.

But this is not enough.

Li Mo opened the skill panel and selected skill fusion on the skill tree.

[Pirlo Free Kick Module], [Bale's Left Foot Cutting Module], and [Heavy Artillery] have been integrated into a new skill: Falling Leaf Ball

If you take a long shot or a direct free kick, it can have the effect of a falling leaf ball.

The probability of scoring a goal is quite high.

And these days.

The focus of the British media is only one: the battle between Manchester United and Arsenal.

In addition to being a key battle for the championship between the two sides, this game is also a head-to-head showdown between the top two scorers - Li Mo scored 29 league goals, while Van Persie scored 27.

The number of goals scored by the two of them seems to be reaching 30 goals.

In history, the number of players who can score more than 30 goals in a single Premier League season can be counted on one hand.

If two players score more than 30 goals in a season, it is indeed a gimmick worth talking about.

But the focus of everything is still on the head-on confrontation between the two sides.

This is the most important battle that determines the championship!

However, many English media are not very optimistic about Arsenal.

".There is news that Cazorla and Diaby can return for this game, but it is hard to say how good they will be. In addition, Arsenal's record against Manchester United at Old Trafford cannot bring them much. confidence."

"Judging from the results, Wenger's choice not to rotate the main players in the second round of the Champions League semi-finals was really not worth the gain. Not only were they eliminated from the Champions League, but they also consumed the physical fitness of Arsenal players. Facing Manchester United at the Theater of Dreams, Arsenal The more misfortunes there are, the more misfortunes there are."

"Arsenal was eliminated and their morale was low. The only person they could rely on was Li Mo. But the game against Bayern also proved that Li Mo is not a god and there are times when he is powerless."

The media's overwhelming reports have made Arsenal fans lack a lot of confidence in this battle at Tianwangshan.

However, Li Mo seemed confident when facing reporters.

"We will beat Manchester United!"

He said very firmly.

"Manchester United remains unbeaten at home this season!" a reporter reminded.

"so what?"

"This proves their fighting ability at home, and Arsenal is now facing an injury and fitness crisis."

"We won the first round." Li Mo interrupted the opponent directly.

"Manchester United is the team with the most experience competing for the title. Arsenal has not competed for the title in seven or eight years."

"So what? Does this season's Premier League champion need to calculate the historical points total?"

Li Mo retorted directly.

The reporter from Manchester was speechless.

At this time, a London reporter reminded: "If you count the total historical points in England's top league, Manchester United is still behind Arsenal."

The remarks drew laughter from some reporters.

Li Mo also laughed.

Someone asked about the Golden Boot race.

Li Mo is now two goals ahead of Van Persie, but in fact his advantage is not big.

But Li Mo didn't want to dwell on this topic.

He said directly: "The Premier League championship is ours, and I want the Golden Boot too!"

"Li Mo: I want the championship, and I want the golden boot too!"

Ferguson put the newspaper on his desk.

His face was quite solemn.

He is not afraid of Arsenal, but he is very afraid of Li Mo.

In his opinion.

Players like Li Mo have the ability to take away a game through their own flash of inspiration.

And this guy's performance against a strong team is really top notch.

Therefore, in Ferguson's view, if Arsenal has any chances at the Theater of Dreams, the chance lies with Li Mo.

He stood up and walked out of the office door.

A day of training awaits him.

On the sidelines of the training ground.

During the fifteen minutes of public training, reporters almost surrounded Ferguson for interviews.

"Jazz, what do you think of this game?"

"How will Manchester United restrict Li Mo at home?"

Reporters raised their microphones one after another.

The mouth shouted loudly.

Ferguson stood before reporters.

"Li Mo is right. As a player, you must have enough hunger. From this point of view, I agree with him." Ferguson paused and then continued: "But this season is not his season. Manchester United are still champions."

Ferguson said in a very affirmative tone.

Manchester United are still champions.

Ferguson spoke very domineeringly, but no one would think he was arrogant.

Because Ferguson's Manchester United was the ruler of the Premier League for the first two decades.

Manchester United was once the calling card of the Premier League.

The Premier League back then was not the Super League that can now compete to be the world's number one league.

The world of football before the new millennium.

Serie A is the center of attention.

Serie A during the Mini World Cup gathered big-name stars from all over the world.

In the Premier League at that time, the only one that could compete with the giants in Serie A was Ferguson's Manchester United.

However, with the decline of Serie A, the Premier League has become lively.

Manchester United's relative competitiveness in the Premier League is still declining. This season, in order to maintain the league, Manchester United strategically gave up the FA Cup and League Cup as evidenced by this.

"Ferguson is very tough. In fact, his team is three points ahead and it is possible for him to launch a defensive counterattack at his home court, but I don't think he will do that. He will attack with all his strength at his home court!"

"In terms of strength, Manchester United is stronger than Arsenal. Judging from the current status, morale, and injuries of both sides, Arsenal is also at a disadvantage. Arsenal was eliminated from the Champions League, and the team's morale will inevitably be affected. Manchester United has won six consecutive games in the league, keeping Arsenal at the top of the list. I think Arsenal may be in trouble on the road."

"In the last round of the match between the two sides, Arsenal defeated Manchester United and caused some trouble for Manchester United, but that can be regarded as Li Mo's "novice welfare period". Now everyone knows that if Li Mo is guarded to death, Arsenal will be lame. After losing a leg, Manchester United will definitely regain its place when they return to their home court."

"Let's relive the most classic scene of the match between the two sides. It was the scene of Li Mo shrugging at Ferguson after scoring a goal. This is one of the most classic scenes in the Premier League this season."

Li Mo's goal celebration action appeared on the TV screen.

After the turmoil.

Only two people freeze.

This scene is very classic.

When the Battle of Tianwangshan between the two sides was about to break out, many British TV stations repeatedly showed this scene. "Now the competition between the two teams is a bit like the competition when both sides were at their peak around the new millennium. Arsenal used to be Manchester United's only competitor in the Premier League, and Wenger has always been Ferguson's biggest rival. Now under Ferguson At this point when he may retire after the end of the season, Wenger's team once again stands as a challenger in front of Ferguson's Manchester United. This time, is it Ferguson's wonderful loneliness, or is Wenger's avenging his former shame?"

"This is the focus of this league."

"The real battle of Tianwang Mountain!"

The game hasn't started yet.

TV stations, newspapers, and online media are all working hard to warm up for this game.

Wenger certainly knows the difficulties Arsenal are facing now.

So he has been thinking about how the team can win this game these days.

Compared with Arsenal, Manchester United can be said to be stronger.

Therefore, he believed that he could not attack the opponent on the road - based on his understanding of Ferguson, Ferguson would definitely let his team attack at home in this situation.

Arsenal cannot compete with Manchester United in the first place.

Defensive counterattack is an easy choice to make.

He decided to let Li Mo play as a lone forward in this game.

Start by standing on the fence in the middle and backfields.

If you have a chance, look for Li Mo.

Stabilize the situation first.

If they don't concede a goal in the first half, Arsenal will have room to adjust in the second half.

It would be better if he could score a goal.

In these days, Arsenal's training has been focused on defense. As for offense, it means practicing various counterattack routines.

Naturally, most of these routines revolve around Li Mo.

Wenger and Ferguson share the same view.

If there is any chance for Arsenal in the away game, it must be with Li Mo.

On the afternoon of June 5th.

The entire Arsenal team boarded the bus and headed to the stadium at Old Trafford.

The direct showdown related to the ownership of the championship made fans on both sides very restless.

On both sides of the road, Manchester United flags were flying.

Fans wearing Manchester United's red home jersey can be seen everywhere on the road.

With a roaring sound, they gathered into a huge crowd.

Fans organized groups to form a huge parade. They uniformly chanted slogans and sang Manchester United songs.

However, in between, there are also many "individual tourists".

It's pretty easy to tell whether someone is a member of a fan organization.

Most fan organizations have uniform clothing, slogans, formations, flags, etc.

When they saw Arsenal's bus, they collectively chanted slogans mocking Arsenal.

"Hey Arsenal, it's another season where you all have nothing to lose!"

"To hell with Arsenal!"

They raised their middle finger at the Arsenal bus and humiliated Arsenal and Arsenal players.

Very unfriendly.

Most of the individual travelers are tourists.

They were taking pictures everywhere with their cell phones and cameras.

Most of them come from all over the world.

The Theater of Dreams is one of the most famous stadiums in the world, and Manchester United is also the most profitable football club in the world. They have many fans around the world.

For every home game, fans from all over the world come to Dream Theater.

What's more, it's a focus war in such a focus.

But the most eye-catching thing is not the sparse individual visitors, but those Arsenal's real opponents - those die-hard Manchester United fans.

"There are so many people."

Someone on the bus sighed.

"I guess all the Manchester United fans from Manchester are here."

"What are you afraid of? It's not like we haven't played at Old Trafford before."

The Arsenal players in the carriage were chatting.

"At least there are people in Manchester supporting us."

Someone pointed to the sky-blue flags flying from the balconies of some small buildings on both sides of Manchester.

There is even a slogan: "Arsenal, kill Manchester United!"

have to.

This is certainly what City fans are calling for.

Manchester City has no hope of winning the title this season.

But they certainly don't want their rivals in the same city to win the championship.

So they will definitely support Arsenal in this game.

They don't think that if Manchester United wins the championship, Manchester United wins the championship. These are all honors.

For two sides who are mortal enemies, it is natural to undermine each other.

However, banners supporting Arsenal can be seen in downtown Manchester.

Waiting for Dream Theater.

Arriving at Old Trafford, Arsenal were greeted with only boos.

When players from both sides enter the court.

The Manchester United players were cheered by more than 70,000 fans in the audience.

The Arsenal players received huge boos.

Especially when Li Mo appeared on the big screen in the stadium.

The huge boos almost tore down the roof of Old Trafford, which had not been repaired in more than ten years.

This is indeed an "old" stadium.

before the game starts.

The focus of discussion among commentators and reporters is Li Mo and Van Persie, who frequently appear in close-up shots.

One is the former Arsenal captain who left Arsenal in the summer window. He claimed that he went to Manchester United for the championship.

One is Li Mo, who was ridiculed as "Van Persie's successor" at first, but now he beats Van Persie in the scorer list and even led Arsenal to the position of challenging Manchester United.

Both parties are the focus of the camera.

They're in the tunnel, they shake hands, they're standing in the center circle.

"This game is also a battle between the two top shooters!"

chanted commentator Andy Gray.

As his words fell.

Van Persie kicked the ball out.

The battle of Tianwang Mountain has begun.
