As the game draws closer, the ancient city of London is full of smoke, reports, topics and pictures about the game are everywhere, even the Mayor of London, Her Majesty the Queen of Buckingham Palace will also talk about this event.

As for the tickets for the game between Arsenal and Manchester United, it has been hard to get a ticket for a long time.

British celebrities are also proud of being able to get a VIP seat ticket at the Emirates Stadium. For the players on both sides, this game is a competition for the game, and it is an important game related to winning the season. However, for these celebrities and noble ladies, it is also a lively stage.

The London police are having the hardest time at this time, because no one knows what those famous and registered football hooligans are going to do at this time. You must know that the match between Arsenal and Manchester United never lacks passion And the hot scene, when the time comes, if there is a conflict scene, it is really not too unexpected.

***********
The whole Manchester United team has arrived in London. Tomorrow is the game against Arsenal. After training this afternoon, when we returned to the hotel, the players all came to the conference room of the hotel to watch the game video edited by assistant coach Mike Phelan. , the above are all clips of Arsenal's game videos this season, and they are classified into categories. When Arsenal is attacking and defending, they are edited separately, so that it is also convenient for the team's attackers and defensive players to be treated differently.

Speaking of which, Arsenal and Manchester United are very familiar. The coaches of the two teams, Wenger and Ferguson, are also old rivals. The players of the two teams have been changing lights for more than ten years. But not much has changed. Both Wenger and Ferguson have their own coaching concepts. Therefore, in this game, regarding what kind of tactics the opponent will use, the head coach of the double-reverse can list several possibilities in his mind. What to pay attention to , is some details.

Of course, the details determine success or failure, let alone sloppy.

***********
As usual, the pre-match war of words between Wenger and Ferguson was also of interest to the media and fans.

Ferguson said that games against Arsenal are always special, because over the past decade or so, Manchester United have often been able to beat their opponents in games against Arsenal.

Wenger responded that he would mainly shake hands with Ferguson after the game. According to the usual practice, the winner will take the initiative to shake hands. This is the right of the winner. The meaning of the Arsenal coach is also obvious.

"Of course I also respect (Ferguson). I believe we are the fighters who survived football, so I have a lot of respect for him. We all take football seriously, which is why I am more eager for victory. (After the game) I will take the initiative Handshake," Wenger said.

***********
As for the double-reverse players, they also stood up and expressed their views on this game.

"This is my first game against Manchester United. I am eager to help the team win the game." Nasri, Arsenal's new aid in the summer, said that after the French teenager moved to Arsenal, he performed exceptionally well. Scored 5 goals, "The Sun" also believes that Nasri will become one of the key players in this focus game.

Fatty Rooney said aggressively that Manchester United was robbed of the league championship by Arsenal last season. Now, it is time for Manchester United to regain the lost ground.

However, the two flag players Fabregas and Li Rui did not express any views on the game.

It was Arsenal's current captain Gallas who stood up and said provocatively, "I will let Li Rui do nothing in the game. I hope he won't cry."

For what Gallas said, Li Rui felt a little baffled. He didn't know what stimulated the French central defender to have the courage to say such awesome words.

Now, Li Rui can't keep silent anymore, the opponents have named them by name, he can only fight, Li Rui's answer is three words, "See you in the game!"

***********
On the day of the game, the war of words and psychological warfare between Arsenal and Manchester United has died down, and now it is time for a real fight on the pitch.

As Li Rui said, don't say anything now - see you in the game!

The Manchester United team bus departed from the hotel where they stayed and headed for the Emirates Stadium.

At this moment, a large number of reporters have gathered in front of the hotel. The match between Arsenal and Manchester United is a major event. It can be said that although Chelsea can be considered a giant now, Manchester United VS Chelsea, or even the London derby between Arsenal VS Chelsea. It cannot be compared with the battle between Manchester United and Arsenal.

The confrontation between Wenger's team and Ferguson's team can already be said to be a phenomenon in the Premier League.

***********
At the moment all the streets leading to the Emirates Stadium have been filled with fans from both sides wearing red and white jerseys and also red jerseys.The main color of the two teams is red, and the whole stadium will be full of red at that time. Red is a symbol of passion!

This game is destined to be full of passion.

The Manchester United bus was driving slowly, and there was a severe traffic jam. Ferguson and the coaching staff had already considered this, so this was 45 minutes earlier than the usual departure time for Manchester United and other games.

Seeing the Manchester United team bus attracted thousands of Manchester United fans. They waved scarves and gloves, surrounded the bus, sang the team song, and rushed to the Emirates Stadium.

Of course, there are more fans of the host Arsenal. They made all kinds of insulting gestures towards the Manchester United bus. Their middle fingers are always upright and their thumbs are always down.

The collision between two of England's best teams in the past decade or so is the biggest event in the Premier League.

***********
The Italian teenager Kiko Kiko, who experienced the 'England Derby' for the first time, was shocked by the scene in front of him. He was a little nervous and excited: "It's so crazy, God. Such a game will definitely make people feel suffocated. If I'm happy to score goals."

Owen was injured in training, it was an old injury, so Ferguson recruited the Italian teenager Kiko Kiko, who performed well in the reserve team, and entered the squad for this game. Of course, starting is impossible. Will appear on the bench, as a 'surprise soldier', waiting for the call at any time.

This is not the first time that Kiko has played with the first team. The Italian teenager who joined the team last summer has also played in the first team. However, they are all games like the League Cup. As for the match with Arsenal It was the first time for Macheda to experience such a super heavyweight match, so it was no wonder he was so excited.

Seeing how excited Macheda was, Li Rui thought of himself a few years ago. When he represented Leeds United for the first time, he learned that he would go to Old Trafford with the team to challenge Manchester United away. Exciting.

Think about it, this time flies so fast, four or five years have passed in a blink of an eye, he was still a player of Leeds United at the time, who would have thought that he would transfer from Leeds United to the rival Manchester United, and he himself became the flagship of the Manchester United team The character, the most glorious time of his career, also started with Manchester United.

Of course Li Rui remembers that game against Manchester United. He came off the bench wearing the No. 11 jersey of Leeds United and scored twice to help the team defeat the mighty Manchester United. Li Rui also became famous in that game and attracted Ferguson's attention.

***********
"God must have heard your prayer." Li Rui said to Macheda with a smile as he thought about the past. He saw his yesterday from Macheda.

Macheda is still a little shy, but still very confident. He said with a look of hope, "If I can play, I will definitely seize the opportunity."

Li Rui smiled slightly and said, "Good luck." Then he joked, "We lead Arsenal by a big score, I will pretend to be injured, and you can play."

Several players in the bus laughed, Macheda blushed and didn't know what to say.

It's always fun to 'fuck' new people, no matter where you go.

***********
Speaking of which, Macheda is not considered a rookie, he has playing experience in the first team, and is the chief striker of Manchester United's under-18 youth team, which has already attracted the attention of the pervasive English media.

The British media dug up almost everything about the Italian prodigy, including Manchester United buying him for only 3.5 pounds, including his weekly salary of only 1000 pounds, including his love of playing Facebook, and the Italian restaurant he often goes to.After Ferguson announced the roster for this match, and learned that Macheda entered the roster, besides the Manchester United fans, the British media, and the Italian media, whether it was "Gazzetta dello Sport", "Roma Sport" or " Turin Sports Daily, like its British counterparts, is full of expectations for Kiko.

Obviously, the Italian genius Kiko Kiko carries the most perfect way for the British to use football to rise to the top.Macheda came from a poor family. He used to worry about three meals a day, but relying on his hard work, he attracted the attention of Ferguson and came to Manchester United. Because of his performance in the youth team, he got a chance. If he can seize the opportunity, he can become famous in one battle. , and quickly became a star, this is just like the plot of the famous football movie "Become Famous".

Of course, for the media and fans, Li Rui's fame is the most classic "Fame with One Ball", but, looking at Li Rui's current height, even though he is only less than 24 years old, Li Rui is destined to become He is a legendary star, and even has the meaning of being deified, but Macheda is not.

***********
Li Rui and the others were talking about the upcoming game, and on the Arsenal bus, the players were also talking about the game.

"Today's game, I want to give Li Rui a zero seal. Boys, learn from it." Gallas said with a big grin.

Hearing what Gallas said, the faces of the others changed slightly. No one said anything. Speaking of which, although Gallas is the captain of the team, he really didn't get much support from the players. Wenger Previously, Vieira and Henry were appointed as the captains of the team. Both of them did a good job. When it was Gallas' turn, this Frenchman was a bit muddy and unable to support the wall. up.

This is not to say that Gallas is a softie, on the contrary, Gallas is very domineering. He always bosses around other Arsenal players, especially newcomers like Nasri and teenagers like Walcott. It seems to be full of "big brother style", but it just arouses the disgust of young people.In the Arsenal team, only Adebayor is Gallas' best friend.

***********
At this time, the veteran Sylvester, who joined Arsenal for free from Manchester United in the summer, cautiously reminded the bullish Gallas: "William, don't underestimate Li Rui, you have played against him more than once, you should Knowing that his skills are very good, his speed is also very fast, and he is very threatening, you must not be careless with him."

Sylvester didn’t say that Gallas and Li Rui had played against each other many times, it’s fine. In that case, Gallas might be able to listen to it. After all, Sylvester is also French and Gallas’s senior, but now Hearing what Sylvester said, Gallas thought that Sylvester was satirizing his previous match with Li Rui, and the unbearable past of being teased by Li Rui, Gallas immediately changed his face, " I know how to guard against Li Rui, so don't worry."

Sylvester was taken aback for a moment, he listened to Gallas then shook his head and said, "The best way to defend Li Rui is to prevent him from touching the ball. That's fine."

***********
Sylvester sighed, 'Don't let Li Rui touch the ball', this is indeed the way to freeze Li Rui, but is it really that easy?He looked at the complacent Gallas, didn't know what to say, so he just shut up.Sylvester also saw that Gallas didn't listen to his words at all, but he didn't want to say anything more. Although he was old, he was in the Manchester United team. He moved to Arsenal this time. , here, Sylvester has no status.

Moreover, this season, Arsenal's performance is pretty good, which is also inseparable from Gallas's outstanding performance. Gallas' self-confidence is inevitable. You may recognize your own position, pay more attention to yourself during the game, and pay attention to filling in at any time. Sylvester and Li Rui used to be teammates, and they know Li Rui far better than these people. I hope this can help Mark Li Rui yourself.

Sylvester stopped talking, and as for the other Sania and the others, they even kept silent. Gallas always reprimanded them with the attitude of "big brother". After a long time, they were unwilling to pay attention Gallas, lest you be reprimanded for embarrassing yourself.

As for the players of the "Midfield Gang" with Cesc Fabregas as the core, they were even more unwilling to talk to Gallas. For a while, the bus was surprisingly silent.

No one noticed that Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger, who was sitting in the front row, frowned slightly.He's also apparently starting to notice that the atmosphere inside the team is a little out of whack.

***********
Just when the Manchester United team arrived at the Emirates Stadium, the cloudy sky finally rained, and the rain was not small at first, and there was no foreplay at all, so it entered GAOCHAO. It seemed that a heavy rain was inevitable. All in all, the focus match between Manchester United and Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium will be a rainy battle, which adds a lot of variables to the game.

At this time, the Emirates Stadium is basically full, and there are still empty seats. Of course, it is not that the tickets have not been sold. It is estimated that those fans are rushing to the stadium, because the Arsenal club has long announced that the tickets for this game have long been sold. empty.

What makes Arsenal fans happy is that there is another episode in this focus game. Arsenal fans have been notified that their idol, the team's legendary captain Adams will play in this game, of course, and Instead of playing the game, Adams just kicked off the game symbolically.

This approach of the Arsenal club has also been recognized by the FA. In the FA's view, although this is a bit against the rules, it is not uncommon to have such a small episode in this world-renowned game. Besides , Adams, as the former captain of Arsenal, also has many fans in England. It is also of special significance for him to kick off the game.

This can also increase the attention of this game. Although it is suspected of hype, it is a good thing.We must support.As long as it can expand the influence and profits for the Premier League, it will do.

***********
In the VIP boxes at the Emirates Stadium, those VIP celebrities also appeared one after another. Because the players were still in the locker room and hadn't played the game yet, the broadcast camera was also aimed at the VIP seats.

People saw the familiar celebrities.

England coach Mourinho sat there, bowed his head and wrote something in his notebook, as if he had already started working.

The wives of Arsenal and Manchester United also appeared in the stands, but to the disappointment of the media, there was no sign of Li Rui's wife Jessica. Before that, Li Rui said that Jessica was busy with work and would not come to London Watching the game, the media also reported a glimmer of hope, but now it seems that they really did not come.

Kelly Brook, who has the sexiest city of women in England, appeared in the camera. In the box next door, Keeley Hazell was also seen. However, what is surprising is that Ashley Cole's His wife, Cheryl, also appeared in the VIP box. Ashley Cole has now moved to Chelsea in the summer, and was denounced as a traitor by Arsenal fans. I don’t know who Cheryl came to the scene to cheer for today. .

Prince William, Britney Spears, Emma Watson who became famous for playing Hermione in "Harry Potter", F1 racing driver Hamilton... The VIP stands were full of celebrities.

************
The game between Manchester United and Arsenal was naturally broadcast live on Sky TV. Lineker was introducing the background information of the game to the fans on the spot and in front of the TV: "This will be the 199th confrontation between the two sides in history. The total record is Manchester United 86 wins, 46 draws and 67 losses. In 182 league clashes, Manchester United won 74 wins, 42 draws and 66 losses. From the perspective of past confrontation history, Manchester United has a slight upper hand. However, at Arsenal's home court, Manchester United The record is not as good as they are at home, and last season, Manchester United lost at the Emirates Stadium, and that game also took Manchester United out of the title race."

"In this game, the biggest highlight for Arsenal is the French midfielder Nasri. The Frenchman who joined in the summer has already scored 8 goals for Arsenal in various competitions this season, including in the league. 5 goals, he is in a hot state now, and Nasri also said before the game that scoring Manchester United's goal is his dream."

"For Manchester United, Li Rui will return after a week of injury. Whether he can continue his previous hot state is the key to whether Manchester United can win this game from the Emirates Stadium. In addition, we have received news that Irving was injured during training, and Sir Alex Ferguson has recruited the young Italian striker Macheda into the squad. Whether Macheda can play depends on the actual situation of the game."

***********
At this time, the camera lens was aimed at the face of a middle-aged man in the stands, and the fans cheered, and the broadcaster said excitedly: "Tony Adams, Arsenal's great captain, forever 'Mr. Arsenal' Today he will return to the stadium, this is our captain's 'debut' at the Emirates Stadium, when the time comes, let us welcome the captain with the warmest applause!"

Tony Adams stood up and waved to the fans in the audience. After the game started, he would walk into the field and kick off for today's game.Seeing Adams waving his hands, the fans responded with almost crazy cheers. Some old fans remembered the years when their captain galloped the stadium, and couldn't help blurring their eyes and wiping the corners of their eyes.

***********
The camera went around the VIP box, Manchester United owner George Glazer, this is also the first time for Manchester United's American owner to watch a game at the Emirates Stadium.

Afterwards, two figures appeared in the camera. These two people may be unfamiliar to many people, but everyone in the football circle knows that these three are Arsenal's giants in the world, and the one on the left is Arsenal. Usmanov, the chairman of the Red and White Company, the Uzbekistan owns 2% of Arsenal’s shares. The one in the middle is the American Kroenke. This is an unfamiliar name. However, if you talk about the NBA As for the Nuggets, not many people will be unfamiliar. Kroenke is the owner of the Nuggets. In addition, he also has a baseball team and a football team in his hands, and owns about 2% ​​of Arsenal.The remaining shares are in the hands of British conservatives, who are unwilling to sell.

However, according to the regulations, when one of these shareholders owns more than 1% of the shares, Arsenal can be fully acquired.Therefore, the media also reported that both Usmanov and Kroenke intend to purchase shares from each other, with a view to reaching the 30% standard, and then fully acquire Arsenal.
