And Manchester United in the same city has launched a series of warm-up matches in the United States, and also visited the White House in the United States!

Barcelona, ​​embarrassing in the United States, tried to train around the White House, but were turned away by security.Manchester United, who also appeared near the White House, was treated as a VIP and invited to visit the White House. [

Manchester United beat Barcelona in the Champions League final, and in the United States, the Red Devils seem to have a much greater brand influence than Barcelona.Ancelotti and his team members were invited to visit the White House. Although they were not received by President Obama, they were given special permission to visit the White House at will.

Ancelotti said: "It's great, we all enjoy it, I've been to the White House before, but this time it's still exciting, this is an extraordinary place with historical significance." Manchester United defender Ferdinand will also tour the White House room himself The photo was posted on my personal Weibo.

European champions Barcelona were treated very differently. The whole team came outside the White House to do some stretching and running activities, but were turned away by security personnel.Midfielder Harvey said: "We were told that there can be up to 10 to 15 people there at a time." According to security personnel, they drove away the Barcelona players because so many people were not allowed to gather near the White House.Compared with Manchester United's tour group of more than 40 people who can go in and out of the White House, Barcelona, ​​the golden sign of European champions, seems to be difficult to use in the eyes of Americans. Of course, this also includes the itinerary, British and American culture relation.

However, the British media is very interested in this matter. The "Sun" used the headline "Manchester United 3-0 Barcelona". A complete victory.

Of course, Barcelona is also actively expanding its influence in the United States. A few days ago, the team's chairman Russell and coach Guardiola and Bill Gates attended an event to cooperate with the Gates Foundation to help polio patients.As Barcelona have gradually established their status as the world's strongest team in the past two years, their influence has also expanded rapidly.

However, in terms of brand value and world influence, Manchester United still has an advantage. According to the global list of the most valuable clubs released by Forbes last week, Manchester United ranked first in the world with US$184 billion, overwhelming the American leading clubs. Proud of many professional teams (Dallas Cowboys football team second, New York Yankees baseball team third), the only football team that is close to Manchester United is Real Madrid, which ranks sixth on the list, while Barcelona does not enter the top ten name.

Among Manchester United's future prospects, Li Yu, the star of Manchester United, is of course the most concerned in the United States. Not only in football, his new wife is also a Hollywood star Jenny. After arriving in the United States, many media have photographed Li Yu Steal a photo of Jenny, wherever Manchester United No. 9 goes, they will naturally follow in groups.

It doesn't matter to Li Yu now, you can shoot as you want, we are aboveboard, who can say that the newlyweds are not.

During Manchester United's stay in the United States, Jenny accompanied them all the way, and Ancelotti did not publicly express any dissatisfaction. Although it was a warm-up match, everyone knew that Manchester United also wanted to open up the American market and make money by the way!

Now the club owner is very happy to have Jenny to promote the Red Devils for free, so naturally he will not stop it.

After Jenny finished filming the latest scene, she will also go to England to stay for a while.

After defeating Barcelona, ​​Manchester United's warm-up trip to the United States won a complete victory. The data of scoring 20 goals and conceding 3 goals made Manchester United full of confidence in the new season.City rivals Manchester City are also in good form after a bloodless 3-0 victory over Serie A giants Inter Milan.The two teams will contribute a high-quality "warm-up" to Premier League fans in this Sunday's Community Shield match.

"Daily Mail" stated that Manchester United assistant coach Mike Phelan believes that this is just a "some taste" warm-up match. More than 3 months ago, Manchester City eliminated Manchester United in the FA Cup semi-finals and finally won the FA Cup. This incident still makes Manchester United worry about it.Phelan believes that the Community Shield game against Manchester City is just an appetizer before the start of the league, and there is nothing special. He said: "It (with Manchester City) is no different. Sunday's game is just one of those games. But it's going to be 'delicious' because it's two Manchester teams. We've got a week and we can try something new."

Before the game against Manchester City every season, there will inevitably be a few verbal battles between the two sides. "Noisy neighbors" and Carlos Tevez's "Welcome to Manchester!" came from this.

In the new season, when the old captain Gary Neville retired, Nani took the initiative to undertake this "task". "The Sun" said that after the game with Barcelona, ​​Nani, who performed very well, has issued a warning to his city rivals Manchester City.Nani said: "In every season, the Community Shield game is an important start, and now this game will become even more important. Manchester City has become very strong, but it will be our Manchester United who will win!" [

Nani is likely to regain Ferguson's favor through his excellent performance in the battle with Barcelona.Forward Berbatov, who did not get a chance to play throughout the game, may not escape the fate of being purged. "Daily Express" said La Liga's Malaga still did not give up the pursuit of Berbataba.Manchester United has clearly informed Berbataba that the club will evaluate whether to renew his contract after the end of the new season.Berbatov's agent Emil Danchev also said: "I will not comment on these rumors. Berbatov is still a Manchester United player. He is very happy in the team. Transfer."

In the warm-up match between Manchester United and Barcelona, ​​​​De Gea played the whole game. Although Thiago scored a world wave, his overall performance was still very good.

After the game, coach Ancelotti said that De Gea could replace the retired goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.

"Manchester Evening News" stated that De Gea's outstanding performance coupled with Lindegaard's strong competition will make the youth training teenager Amos face severe challenges. Amos must now decide whether to stay at Manchester United to accept the challenge.Amos has realized that if he continues to stay at Manchester United, he is likely to spend his new season in the reserve team. Amos said: "This is a very difficult decision (whether to stay in the team), and I am still at Manchester United. Under consideration. I have a chance, but it depends on the manager's arrangements. The next few weeks are very important for me, and I will not give up lightly."

According to the "Daily Mail" report, Manchester United midfielder Fletcher has completely got rid of the stomach virus.Fletcher was infected with this strange virus last season, which caused his weight to drop sharply, making him lose his physical strength to participate in the game.Fletcher was delighted with his full recovery, saying: "It's great to be back, I feel like I've regained my weight very well."

Fletcher has recovered, but another general Valencia also faces physical and mental torture. The "Daily Mail" said that Valencia, who is struggling with injuries, encountered resistance to the renewal negotiations because of the use of portrait rights.Manchester United eo Gill revealed on Friday that he is confident of completing his contract extension with Valencia.However, the current negotiations between the two sides have been put on hold and may have been delayed until the start of this season.

Manchester United's contract renewal negotiations with several players have been put on hold, presumably because of the stingy Glazer family's relationship.

At the same time, Arsenal's money-making journey is not over yet, first in Asia, and then at home against the New York Red Bulls.

Have you ever remembered that he leaned against Dennis Owen to provoke the ball, and under the close pressure of the Manchester United iron guard, he burst into a volley, and the ball pierced Butters' ten fingers like a rainbow; Vieira's long pass, after unloading the ball from his thigh, shot directly with his feet. The ball was like a gun, and it went straight to the dead corner of the goal. England's goalkeeper James could only watch the ball and sigh. Riding, advancing quickly from the backcourt, breaking through three people in a row and scoring goals, destroying the defense line of the Gunners' mortal enemy - Tottenham Hotspur by himself... Too many memories, too many emotions, Today, it has become a common voice, spread all over the stands of the Emirates Stadium, and the banners made by the fans all read the same sentence: "welehome! Therry!" Welcome home, Thierry Henry!

The match between Arsenal and the New York Red Bulls was the first time that the Emirates Cup invited a team from North America. Its intention is self-evident: to invite the former King of Highbury to the Emirates Stadium!Before the game, the head coach of the New York Red Bulls, Butzke, said: "Henry has a phenomenal career, and he deserves the most grand welcome!" The fact is exactly the same.Warming up before the game, the on-site announcer announced the starting list of both sides, and deliberately dropped the name "Thierry Henry" at the end. As soon as the voice fell, the audience burst into applause and cheers like a tsunami, which lasted for as long as 1 minute long.Afterwards, when the main players of both sides officially entered the stadium from the player tunnel, all the fans stood up collectively and gave a long applause again, not for anything else, but because the leader was named Thierry Henry!

After the game started, the applause dedicated to Henry still sounded from time to time.In the 2nd minute, Henry faced Sagna and Gervinho's double pinch on the left side of the penalty area and sent a heel pass by surprise. Although his teammates failed to seize the opportunity, Henry's exquisite pass still won the audience. Applause from the audience; in the 11th minute, Henry took the ball at the top of the penalty area, and suddenly took a cold shot. Nia fouled and won a free kick. He personally took the penalty.Many fans in the stands were shouting "Thierry! Thierry! Thierry!", and raised their own cameras, ready to capture Henry's scimitar.Henry's shot crossed the wall, drew a wonderful arc, and went straight to the upper left corner of the goal. Szesny jumped up and flew to save the ball.The shot was beautiful, the defense was wonderful, and the audience applauded thunderously!In the 24th minute, Henry met his teammate's oblique pass from the left side of the penalty area and shot directly at the far corner of the goal. Thanks to Szesny's quick fall to the ground, he saved the ball in a thrilling manner, and the audience burst into applause again.

Trying again and again finally paid off in the 84th minute when Henry got the ball in the upper left corner of the penalty area and watched as Roy Miller came in at high speed and calmly delivered a through ball with just the right amount of strength and Roy Miller got The ball was already on the edge of the small penalty area. Before he knocked across the door, the ball passed the attacking Szesny and was knocked into the empty goal by Arsenal teenager Bartley! 1-1!Red Bull drew the Gunners!

Wenger said in an interview before the game: "Henry's return is very special to me, to the club and to the fans. He has left too many great memories here. I know he will test our defense. , I don’t know if he can score goals, but I hope he will work hard to score goals.” As Wenger said, Henry, who will be 8 years old on August 17, although his stamina and speed are difficult to regain his former courage, But the former Arsenal No. 34 still has superb skills and a strong desire to attack!Henry, wearing the No. 14 jersey of the New York Red Bulls, failed to score a goal in this game, but that smart assist was also invaluable!It was with this goal that the New York Red Bulls won the championship with a record of 14 win and 1 tie, and Captain Henry won the Emirates Cup!

As the match report on Arsenal's official website said: "This is Thierry's day!" (twstherry'sy) Wenger also said after the game: "People always say that great clubs never die; Athletes never die. Thierry showed us today with his feet and his brain that he still has top quality. I am very happy to see him today, he played a very good game the match of."

Wenger is full of affection for Henry, and Henry also has full respect for his mentor.He said at the press conference before the game: "I know that some people have asked Arsene (Wenger) to leave recently. But at the beginning, he changed the club. If it was up to me, I would definitely stay. Keep him and let him coach Arsenal for the rest of his life! They were very close to the championship, but they just couldn't do it. When he really stops, people will realize what Arsene means." Henry said to Arsenal The fans were also full of emotion, he said in the post-match press conference: "It was incredible. During the game, as soon as I got the ball, the fans cheered for me, cheered for me when I was the opponent."

"Arsenal will always be in my blood, always in my heart, and I will always miss you. I said, I will be a gunner for the rest of my life, and I am not lying, because you are a gunner for a day and a gunner for life. .Arsenal is still in my heart and will always be there," Henry said four years ago when he moved to Barcelona in a £1600million move.Today, although things are different, he and Arsenal still love each other.Even if there was anger and disappointment, but these are temporary, only love is eternal, perhaps, this is the meaning of "home"...

Once again an embarrassing draw at home, once again equalized in a leading situation, Wenger and his Arsenal are suffering unprecedented doubts.However, to make matters worse, midfielder Wilshere actually ended up injured in the game against the New York Red Bulls.

After the game, head coach Wenger first talked about Wilshere's injury: "They told me that Wilshere may not return to the game until the end of next week, and he will miss the team's warm-up match against Benfica. If his injury recovery is not satisfactory, he may miss the next England game." The professor said disappointedly: "Of course, Wilshere is a strong kid, and his injury recovery speed is slow. It can be beyond people's expectations, so I hope he can make a miraculous comeback this time as well."

At the last moment of the game, Arsenal fans booed deafeningly because they were dissatisfied with the poor performance of the home team and the weak defense. In this regard, Wenger said slightly reproachfully: "I can understand the fans' desire for us to win. , but we don’t want such boos to bring extra pressure to the team. At present, our most important thing is to prepare for the new season, and the result of this game is really not very important.” When talking about the transfer market, Wenger once again said: "We are trying to strengthen the strength of the team. The club is currently working very hard to step up the pace of signings, but so far we still have no specific targets."

In the end, Wenger finally talked about his former favorite player Henry. The French professor hoped to let Henry play for Arsenal for 5 minutes at the last moment of tonight's game, but he was not allowed by FIFA's game rules and was on duty as the referee. If you don't agree, you can only give up. "I talked to the referee about Henry playing for us, but the referee didn't allow it because one player can't play for two teams in one game."

Similarly, Henry himself was very naive about this: "Such a rule is too weird and unbelievable. I wanted to play for Arsenal for a while. This kind of friendly match is nothing at all. You know I played in an Arsenal jersey. Too many games. Destiny is incredible, almost every time I touch the ball, every time I run to the sidelines, the fans applaud me, so I also give them back with applause and wonderful performance." As for the end of the game Henry chose to avoid the fans booing the Arsenal team at all times: "I didn't hear it at all, because I was too tired at the last moment of the game, and I was chasing the ball throughout the game."
