Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

In the following time, Arsenal pressed hard, hoping to equalize the score. But Manchester United's defense was very tight, and Arsenal never seized the opportunity. Not only that, they were also stolen by Manchester United at the last moment of the game, and the final score was fixed at 2-0, and Manchester United won at home. And Arsenal's unbeaten streak was finally fixed at 49 games! Fiona in the stands sighed: "This game... is not exciting."

Yang Luo nodded: "Arsenal lost unfairly."

Arsenal was furious about this game. Wenger even got angry at the post-match press conference: "I don't think we lost this game. It's others who should reflect on it!"

After the game, the media were at loggerheads, and many media gave negative comments on the referee's performance in this game.

But only David Jones, a reporter from the Guardian, was still there, saying shamelessly: "Things on the field should be solved on the field. Protesting here will only make you look like you can't afford to lose!"

The next day, Yang Luo saw his column and couldn't help but sneer: "This guy is talking nonsense again. He is really annoying like a fly."

Fiona was also very angry: "As a reporter, he really lies with his eyes open."

Yang Luo took a sip of milk: "He is just a jumping clown. There will be plenty of time to make him cry in the future!"

Three days after this controversial game, Manchester City defeated Preston 3-0 in the League Cup and successfully advanced to the round of 16.

In this game, Messi and Fabregas performed very well. They each scored a goal, and Fabregas also assisted Mario Gomez to score a goal.

Yang Luo knew that they already had the ability to play in the first team, but now the first team is full of talents, and they can't stand out for the time being.

This is also a hidden danger. He must make room for them before the start of next season.

After the League Cup, they returned to their home ground without stopping, preparing for the home game against Norwich three days later.

Fortunately, many players had a rest in the last game, so they performed very well in this game and finally defeated their opponents 3-1.

Of course, since the next game was against Manchester United, Van Gaal still made some rotations to ensure that he could fight Manchester United to the death.

Old Fan has always had a complex mentality of admiring Ferguson and wanting to defeat him, so he is very serious every time he prepares for Manchester United.

This time he arranged the strongest lineup, and Maicon was also sent to the right back position, obviously wanting to play against the old Sir Alex at Old Trafford.

And the old Sir Alex arranged a 442 formation in this game. It seems that he was very satisfied with this formation because he ended Arsenal's unbeaten record in the last league with this formation.

However, in the right forward position, this time he arranged Scholes to play a guest role.

Yang Luo was also invited to the VIP seat at Old Trafford and sat with David Gill, the CEO of Manchester United.

Unlike last week when he sneaked here, this time the position was as conspicuous as possible.

After a few polite words with David Gill, Yang Luo calmed down and waited for the game to start.

He wanted to witness his team's victory at Old Trafford with his own eyes.

But... this is Old Trafford...

The referee of this game is Howard Webb, who has a good reputation among the referees in the Premier League.

But he also has a famous scene. He was the referee of the 2010 World Cup final.

De Jong, who is as famous as Pepe, kicked Xabi Alonso in the chest, but he let it go.

Of course, generally speaking, Webb is still a relatively good referee, much better than the four blind referees in the Premier League.

Just when Yang Luo was letting his thoughts fly, the players and head coaches of both sides entered the field.

Lineker in the studio introduced the starting lineups of both teams. After the introduction, he said: "Manchester City has had an absolute advantage over Manchester United in the past two seasons, and Manchester City's strength is increasing day by day. Manchester United will face a great challenge in this game."

Alan Hansen interjected: "But this is Old Trafford, Manchester United's combat effectiveness on this field is higher."

Lineker glanced at him and showed a very subtle expression on his face.

At this moment, with the referee's whistle, the game between the two sides officially began!

As soon as the game started, Manchester City showed their belief in winning. They

Using his advantage in the midfield to press Manchester United, he soon got several good chances.

In the eleventh minute, Makelele intercepted the ball in the midfield and passed it to Ronaldo on the right.

Ronaldo dribbled past Heinze and came within the 30-meter area.

He looked at the situation in the penalty area and suddenly chose a low cross with an arc!

The pass was very good, bypassing Ayala at the front point and coming to Tony's feet!

But just when Tony was about to shovel the ball, Rio Ferdinand shoveled the ball at the critical moment!

The football suddenly changed direction and flew out of the bottom line along the goal post!

This was really dangerous, and the fans at the scene were shocked and sweated.

Lineker praised: "Rio Ferdinand is really skilled and daring. If he doesn't control it well, it will be an own goal!"

Alan Hansen also nodded: "This ball is passed well, and the clearance is even better! He is worthy of being the most expensive defender. This one can reflect his worth!"

However, although the ball was cleared this time, Manchester City's attack did not stop.

In the 17th minute, Manchester City came back, this time on the left!

Robben, who was full of blood, was not something Gary Neville could defend. He only changed direction twice with the ball and blocked Wen Hao behind him!

He just looked up at the situation in the penalty area and prepared to kick the ball to cross!

But at this moment, he felt a strong force coming from behind him, and his whole body fell forward involuntarily!

It was Gary Neville!

He saw Robben was about to cross, and he pushed Robben down from behind!

This was an undoubted foul!

But the biggest problem is that Robben fell in the penalty area!

The referee Weber blew the whistle immediately, indicating that it was a foul!

But the gesture he gave was a free kick!

This immediately caused dissatisfaction among Manchester City players!

But Weber's explanation was: "The location of this foul is right on the penalty area line!"

Lineker and Alan Hansen in the studio immediately asked the director to cut out the replay, but found that the ball was just a little bit inside the penalty area line, which was difficult to judge with the naked eye!

They looked at each other, and Lineker sighed: "This ball could be either a free kick or a penalty. But..."

Alan Hansen also smiled and said nothing.

This is probably the magic of Old Trafford!
