Chapter 288 The fateful battle: Red Devil vs. Gunner
2015-2016赛季英超第37轮联赛最晚进行的焦点战役结束,两队最终战成2:2。

The Etihad Stadium was still filled with a joyful atmosphere, with overwhelming cheers coming one after another.

For Manchester City, not winning is a loss, but at least they did not lose. The team defended its own honor and did not become a stepping stone for Arsenal to set a new points record.

Martin and De Bruyne walked towards each other in tacit understanding, hugged each other and greeted each other.

Under the care of the live director's close-up shots, the two of them put their shoulders on each other's shoulders and talked and laughed as if they were no one else.

It's just that in the end, they inevitably 'let go of their harsh words' to each other.

The Wolfsburg twins have all played against each other this season, but they will come back next season. They both want to win, so... they made an appointment to play next season.

At the regular press conference after the game, Wenger praised the players' performance.

The British media has always been shady when it comes to Anthony Taylor's clear misjudgment.

How smart is the professor?
And experienced.

How can you be deceived?

The topic was changed in a few words.

Facing the new league points record mentioned by media reporters, his expression became solemn: "Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten record was broken by Manchester United, so this points record will be regained at Old Trafford. !”

The local pro-Manchester United media in Manchester were naturally unhappy and retorted, claiming that Manchester United could finish Arsenal at home back then and could accomplish the same feat at Old Trafford many years later.

Wenger naturally did not quarrel with these reporters. He only left one sentence: See you in three days.

No. 7 Southampton has 60 points and has lost the chance to compete in the Champions League group stage qualifying matches next season.

There is only one final round left in the league this season, which also means that the competition for Champions League seats has reached a fierce stage.

Although Manchester City has a 2-point advantage, they have the last round of away games, followed by Manchester United with a two-point disadvantage and two league games, and two home games.

Manchester City has the last game of the league left, and the upper limit is three points, but Manchester United can reverse it with four points.

Whether No. 6 West Ham United can compete depends on the result of Manchester United's make-up match against Arsenal at home next week.

Once Manchester United defeats Arsenal at home, West Ham can only retain its place in next season's Europa League in the final round of the league.

Affected by Arsenal's outstanding performance in various competitions this season, there is a high probability that next season's Europa League seats will include 2 direct entries + 1 play-off seat.

However, West Ham United is only 8 points ahead of eighth-placed Liverpool, and the goal difference is only 3 more. Once Liverpool wins the game and West Ham loses, there is a high probability that their positions will be swapped.

Since Liverpool will meet Sevilla in the Europa League finals, whether they can reverse in the final round is not particularly important.

According to UEFA's latest rules, the Europa League champion can directly participate in the Champions League group stage next season.

However, no one knows the outcome of the final. Klopp's team should first stabilize in the league and ensure that it can participate in the European competition next season, and secondly pursue the Europa League championship.

As the dust of the three relegated teams has settled at the end of this round, Norwich and Newcastle have become the other two relegated teams after Aston Villa.

In other words, in the last round of the league, there is only suspense about the European competition seats for the season!

……

There are too many things happening in European football this weekend. Arsenal and Martin from the Premier League have become the focus of mainstream European media.

First of all, Arsenal scored 36 points in 95 league rounds, tying the Premier League championship points record set by Mourinho when he coached Chelsea in the 2004-2005 season. There is a possibility of breaking the points record with two league rounds remaining.

Secondly, Martin made another pass and shot in the just-concluded league, raising his direct participation in scoring opportunities to 66 times in a single season in the league, which is only 69 times away from the 3 direct scoring opportunities created by Messi in a single season.

The British media believes that Martin is in excellent condition and it is entirely possible to directly surpass Messi in the remaining two rounds of the league!
The reason is that since Martin's debut, he has the attribute that the stronger the opponent, the better he will perform. Therefore, there is a high probability that he will score a goal or assist in the make-up game next week. In the final round, he will face the relegated Aston Villa at home. It was a one-sided massacre.

Once Martin maintains a high promotion status, it is entirely possible to score two or three directly involved goals.

Arsenal's current team atmosphere is unprecedentedly harmonious, and the entire team relies heavily on Martin. It may even be possible to use the entire team's strength to help Martin surpass Messi!

After all, Arsenal has already won the championship in advance!

This view is also recognized by a large number of Arsenal fans.

However, Martin was very disdainful because he wanted to lead the team to victory while creating corresponding personal records.

If forced to choose, he would rather win than record.

But then again, children make choices, and as an adult, of course you have to have both.

……

Lionel Messi, the star player from Barcelona, ​​noticed the front page news from Mundo Deportivo.

Even though Catalonia's 'authoritative' media is a 'toilet paper' when it comes to transfer news, some of the news reports still have a unique perspective.

Front page: Crisis!There are still two league games left! 27 goals and 39 assists! !
Among them, the numbers "Crisis" and "27 goals and 39 assists" are in bold red font, highlighting the importance of the news and attracting attention at the same time.

Messi, who was reading the newspaper carefully, raised his eyebrows slightly at first, and then relaxed.

He originally thought that Martin, who played for Arsenal, was just a 'miracle' created by himself through theoretical impact, but he did not expect that there was still the possibility of a breakthrough.

Really talented.

Besides, records are meant to be broken.

Then he remembered that Martin once had an Argentinian passport. Although he was naturalized in the Dragon Country, he had no record of participating in international A-level events. His bright brain came up with an idea.

Can you try to invite a group?
If Martin joins the Argentinian national team, let alone the America's Cup championship, it is estimated that the World Cup championship is very likely.

The Argentine offensive line never had to worry, the weak link was the defense.

If Martin is naturalized in Argentina, his iron-blooded spirit and steel defense will be injected into the defensive system.

The defense is not impregnable, but it can at least improve the overall defensive strength.

At that time, he can focus all his energy on the offense, and Martin can also organize and organize the offense on the offensive end, as well as have an outstanding long-range shot and superb heading skills.

It is simply an unsolvable existence!

When it comes to the Dragon Country men's football team, it is 100% invisible to the public. After all, football is a team sport. After all, the overall strength of the Dragon Country men's football team is there.

If it were placed in Argentina, it would be...even more powerful than a tiger!
Thinking of Messi here, he decided to invite Martin to regain his Argentine passport if he had the chance!

……

Cristiano Ronaldo in Madrid also noticed the report of "AS" and became increasingly enthusiastic about inviting Martin to regain his Portuguese passport.

Immediately, he called his agent Mendes.

……

Martin has the opportunity to break Messi's miracle and become the focus of world sports.

Those Arsenal legends also expressed their optimism for Martin on social media, believing that this 19-year-old super genius is fully capable of setting a record of his own!The domestic media and fans in Dragon Kingdom are particularly crazy, and almost all regard Martin as equal to the world champions Pele and Maradona.

However, Martin, as the person involved, focused all his attention on the midweek make-up match and the 38th round of the Premier League finale on the weekend.

The league championship has been won, and he also wants to set some records.

For example: Premier League championship points record, personal direct participation in scoring records.

……

Kearney training base.

Wenger watched Martin continue to move quickly after completing his recovery training, and was shocked by his abundant physical fitness and strong body.

The season is coming to an end, and Martin, who plays almost every game, still has such excellent physical fitness.

"Sure enough, geniuses are all perverts."

Ultimately, Wenger came to this conclusion.

There will be a visit to Old Trafford in midweek. His remarks after the away draw with Manchester City were somewhat inappropriate, causing some players to be under pressure.

So I regret it very much now, but there is never any medicine for regret in this world.

When players train and compete under pressure, they may lose more than they gain.

Martin influences his teammates through his active running and high fighting spirit, so Wenger is looking forward to visiting Manchester United in the make-up game.

Defeating Manchester United is a key battle to win the 50-point championship, but he even wants to avenge Manchester United's [-]-game unbeaten run that year.

From the British media to the European mainstream media, there is a lot of attention on the focus match between Manchester United and Arsenal at Old Trafford in midweek between the Red Devils and the Gunners.

The same goes for football fans around the world.

The game only started in two days, and fans of the two teams took the lead in confronting each other on social media.

It didn't take long for the famous players from both teams to join the fight.

Gary Neville said on social media: Manchester United could end Arsenal's 12-game unbeaten run 49 years ago, and 12 years later they can also end Arsenal's 35-game unbeaten run at Old Trafford and delay setting a points record!
Vieira directly mentioned the game that was ended by Manchester United on his personal social media @GaryNeville: I understand everything, okay?Your tackle on Jose Antonio Reyes from behind was obviously a red card, and the referee with the mission didn't even fart, haha~
Rio Ferdinand quickly joined the war of words. @Vieri said: If you can't afford to lose, just say so, okay?
Manchester United's key players from that game have joined the battle one after another. The Arsenal star is naturally unwilling to let the former captain deal with the Manchester United star alone. Henry, who is also French, @Gary Neville and Rio Ferdinand: No matter how much you say Gorgeous, the eyes of the world are always sharp, dirty is dirty, the facts cannot be erased, please welcome the arrival of Super Horse in the league in two days, remember not to cry!Be good~ [touch your head].

Rooney, who has scored wonderful goals against Arsenal many times, cannot help but say something: 12, 16&30, 49.

Most people or people who release this set of data on a daily basis really don’t understand what they want to express.

But some Manchester United and Arsenal fans can guess what is happening at this sensitive time.

12 is the total number of goals scored by Rooney against Arsenal. 16&30 is Rooney's goal that killed Arsenal when he was just 16 years old, ending Arsenal's 30-game unbeaten run. 49 is best understood as his goal. Arsenal's unbeaten league run ended at 49 games.

In an instant, Rooney's latest news posted on INS flooded in with a large number of fans.

Manchester United fans shouted loudly while Arsenal fans made various sarcastic remarks.

Liu Nian, who is preparing for the Red Devils vs. Gunners, showed up on social media. Arsenal player Martin updated an update on INS with great interest: 6-0 (3 goals, 2 assists) [squinting smile].

Just like Rooney’s update, it attracted a lot of attention instantly.

Arsenal fans cheered loudly, and Manchester United fans abused and provoked...

Martin, who has fully attracted the firepower, no longer pays attention to social media updates. He focuses entirely on the make-up game at Old Trafford in the 27th round.

Manchester United players in the restaurant at the Carrington training base were discussing how to ridicule Martin on social media. The head coach Louis van Gaal who was dining there immediately stopped him and said he hoped the players could focus all their attention on training.

Players think about it too. They were beaten 0:6 by Arsenal in the away game in the first round of this season. They are also very likely to lose in this game at home. The Internet has a memory. Once you utter arrogant words before the game, you will lose the game. …

That's so embarrassing!

However, the celebrities and fans of the two teams did not have this worry, and they greeted each other happily.

In the blink of an eye, time came to the make-up day in mid-week.

There is still more than an hour before the game starts, and more than [-]% of the fans have already filled the Old Trafford stadium.

Van Gaal, who asked the home team's locker room to prepare tactics, was a little dissatisfied that all the Manchester United fans were arrogant and domineering before the game, but when they came to the stadium to watch the game, they turned into British gentlemen. It felt more like watching a concert than making people happy. An exciting football match.

It is undeniable that Manchester United is one of the best football clubs in the world, but the home atmosphere is a bit worse.

In addition to the die-hard fans who cheered without sparing any effort, many home fans watching the game sat there quietly waiting for the game to start.

Even the noise that broke out in many cases was not as loud as that of the visiting team Arsenal fans.

Even the harsh boos received by visiting team players when they entered the field to warm up were very limited, which once gave Martin a false impression.

What the hell, is this an away game?

What about boos?
What about the abuse?

He also finally understood why Mourinho, who would be in charge of Manchester United in the future, repeatedly criticized the home fans through the media for not creating an atmosphere that was not enthusiastic enough and unable to put psychological pressure on the visiting team players.

Not long after, the starting lineups of both sides were announced on the Premier League's official website.

The home team Manchester United has a 4231 formation.

Goalkeeper: De Gea

Defenders: Blind, Rojo, Smalling, Darmian
Midfielder: Herrera, Carrick
Forwards: Depay, Rooney, Mata

Forward: Rashford
……

Arsenal also has a 4231 formation.

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech
Defenders: Monreal, Koscielny, Gabriel, Bellerin
Back midfielder: Coquelin, Martin

Midfielders: Iwobi, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain
Forward: Welbeck

……

Arsenal sent a large number of main players, which also made Manchester United fans very worried.

"Restricting Martin is the key to winning the game, but we don't need to be too anxious, we play steadily and look for opportunities to kill with one hit!"

Manchester United legend Gary Neville, who was a guest on Sky Sports, frowned and raised concerns and suggestions: "This is a game that snips Arsenal to set a Premier League points record. It is also a preview of the FA Cup final. It is also a game that reverses Manchester City's points and enters the top four in the league. A great opportunity! I hope the players who play can give 100% concentration and beat Arsenal!"

"Steady, steady!"

Henry, who served as a guest commentator on BBC Sports TV, spent a small amount of money, but it was crucial: "There is no doubt that Arsenal will beat Manchester United home and away and set a new record for Premier League points!"

“How come you see?”

Commentator Lineker asked with a half-smile.

"Except for the first round of the Premier League this season, isn't it just that the opponents worked hard and Arsenal won the game in the end?"

Henry spread his hands and shrugged.

The Arsenal fans watching the live broadcast were very enthusiastic, and the Manchester United fans were so angry that they directly changed the channel to watch the live broadcast on Sky TV.

"You can see from the snapshot just now that Martin, Arsenal's number one star, is in excellent form. He has scored 27 goals and 39 assists in the Premier League this season. He has contributed 6 goals and 17 assists against Big9 teams. He is directly involved in 39.39% of the goals. Occupying an exaggerated 62.96%, typically the stronger the opponent, the better the performance!"

Unexpectedly, Sky TV commentator Andy Gray also said: "Even if Manchester United is at home, I personally feel that it is very dangerous!"

Manchester United fans: I%¥#@****&%!
