My light shines on Arsenal

Chapter 201 This is Manchester United
Robin van Persie appears in front of Arsenal's goal.

He has scored against all [-] Premier League teams, including Arsenal.

This is a result that Van Persie never imagined.

When he told reporters, "If there is one person in the world who is loyal to Arsenal, that person is me," he was so ambitious and full of enthusiasm.

He knew that he had broken his promise, that he had become a traitor and a joke, at least in the history of the Arsenal team.

But was he wrong?
When Robin van Persie first came to Carrington, Sir Alex Ferguson came to welcome him. The old Scottish man told Van Persie, "Robin, be happy. I chose you, and championships and honors also chose you." "

Championships and honors?

Van Persie would admit that the reason why he joined Manchester United was due to the pursuit of honor as a professional player, but in a more secret place in his heart, Van Persie also admitted that the generous salary and large number of business opportunities provided by Manchester United were also the reasons to attract him.

Was it honor, profit, or other reasons that drove him to leave Arsenal?

Van Persie couldn't explain why.

So he also gave up looking for reasons for himself.

He knew that no matter what excuse he made, it was all to heal the looming guilt in his heart.

It was Arsenal, and it was Arsene Wenger, who gave himself a rare tolerance in today's football, allowing him to break through and become a top scorer when he was thirty years old, and his return was only the performance of just one season.

No matter how you explain your departure, it will be pale, so there is no need to explain it.

Just go get what you want, whether it's honor or money.

Van Persie's reaction to shooting was instantaneous. A second ago, the Old Trafford crowd was still paying attention to Rooney's pass. In the blink of an eye, the ball blasted towards the goal.

"Robin Van Persie! Explosive shot! He doesn't even need to adjust his movements..." Martin Taylor's exclamation came from the TV.

Szczesny made a futile save. Before he could fully stretch his body, the ball had already fallen behind the goal line.

Alex Ferguson breathed a sigh of relief and gently hugged Mike Phelan next to him. The old Scottish man had not celebrated passionately for a long time. It was too tiring and his age could not afford too much passion.

"Robin is the transfer I am most proud of." Ferguson sighed.

"He's going to win us the championship you want, Alex," Mike Phelan said.

Chen Yao called on his players to hurry up and return to the center circle to serve. His expression could not hide his disappointment.

Juan Lillo trotted to his side. "We need to stay calm. There is nothing we can do about conceding goals like this."

"I'm calm, Juan. It's just a pity..."

Before Chen Yao finished speaking, Lillo was stunned. He was thinking about what regret Chen Yao was talking about. Was it a pity that Robin Van Persie left, or was it a pity that the team failed to survive the first two 10 minutes?
The game continues.

Arsenal increased the pace of passing from the backcourt.

When Mertesacker got the ball again, he observed the position of his teammates in advance. Monreal, Arteta and Koscielny all provided him with angles for the ball.

The German's touch time has also been reduced a lot. He no longer leaves Manchester United with space for three people to press. Every time he gets the ball, Mertesacker quickly passes the ball to his teammates, and he only serves as a transition point for the ball. exist.

Rooney, Robin van Persie and Valencia tried several more times to press but to no avail, and their formation slowly shrank back.

The ball came to Arsenal's feet.

Scholes and Carrick are feeling the pressure.

Paul Scholes was born in 1974, so he is now 39 years old. His partner Michael Carrick is much younger than him, but he is also 32 years old.

The combined age of the midfield duo is over 70 years old.

The lack of athleticism in the midfield is Manchester United's obvious weakness.Arsenal advanced into midfield with ease.In order to protect the weak midfield and backfield, Manchester United's formation shrank as Arsenal advanced.

Wayne Rooney stands in front of Mikel Arteta, who looks to force his way through Rooney's defence.

Rooney handed over the focus.

The Spanish midfielder pulled the ball back in front of him and changed the direction of holding the ball.

He crossed to Aaron Ramsey.

The Welshman touched the ball diagonally forward, and Paul Scholes' judgment was accurate and he stuck his body in the direction of the breakthrough faced by Aaron Ramsey.

But he couldn't hold Ramsey back.

Aaron Ramsey is so young, full of energy and has an inexhaustible desire to move forward.

Scholes just wanted to stop Ramsey from making technical moves, but found that his body couldn't keep up with his brain.

Aaron Ramsey left him with a back, and the Welshman forcibly passed Scholes. The more than ten years age difference between the two made Scholes feel helpless.

He brought Ramsey down.

There is no other choice. If Ramsey runs over his own defense, Arsenal can organize an attack in the heart of Manchester United.

Scholes has been immersed in professional football for so many years and he knows the consequences of letting a team with attacking genes repeatedly come near his own goal.

Ramsey fell and rolled twice on the ground, but did not hear the whistle.

His teammates opened their arms and complained to the referee, but the referee in black acted as if he did not see what was happening here, and ran towards the Arsenal penalty area with a dark face as Manchester United counterattacked.

what's the situation?
Ramsey quickly got up from the ground. He had no time to complain and ran quickly towards his own goal.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Chen Yao saying something excitedly to the fourth official, but the fourth official gave the Arsenal coach a blank look.

Alex Ferguson stayed in his position calmly, with an imperceptible smile on his lips.

This is Manchester United, this is Manchester United's home ground.

Manchester United's counterattack pushed to the front of Arsenal's penalty area.

Ashley Young wanted to beat Bakari Sagna, so he started to accelerate and stirred up his feet. Sagna firmly stuck in position and poked the ball out.

Scholes won the ball ahead of Arteta.

He hit the ball across the middle, and Michael Carrick took the risk to press forward. When he touched the ball, he pushed far away and dunked Ramsey who came from behind.

Carrick passed the ball to Valencia on the right. Manchester United's right side was overloaded. Rafael accelerated to cover the ball. Valencia took advantage of the situation and made a pass from the right back.

The ball roared to the goal and Robin van Persie headed it home.

The fans at Old Trafford were ready to cheer.

The Flying Dutchman – they’ve all seen that scene.

Van Persie's head touched the ball.

The Polish goalkeeper reached out and scooped the ball up in front of the goal line.

The [-] spectators held their heads in disappointment.

United missed the chance to extend their lead to [-]-[-] - and Arsenal's counterattack arrived.
