Chapter 579 A Gift for Ferguson

In the sky full of voices, Wenger has been sitting at the Emirates Stadium home team coach.

The game time has been going on for nearly 70 minutes, and the score on the field is still zero to one!

In stoppage time near the end of the first half, Manchester United won a penalty kick. Robin van Persie, who returned to the Emirates Stadium for the first time after moving to Manchester United, calmly took the penalty amidst the boos of the audience and opened the first for Manchester United. record.

Since then, the two teams have never had a better scoring opportunity, and the game has remained stalemate until now.

If you look at it purely from the scene, Arsenal undoubtedly has the advantage.

But the problem is that Manchester United played very pragmatically in this game, focusing on defense, and did not give Arsenal a chance easily.

Seeing the minutes and seconds of the game passing by, Wenger felt a little impatient.

Of course, compared with Ferguson who rushed to the sidelines from time to time, yelled at the players and the referee, Wenger seemed too calm and calm.

"Boss, should we change?"

The assistant coach Boulder sitting on the side came up and asked.

Former Arsenal legend Steve Bould has been Wenger's assistant since Les Parte's retirement.

But to him, Wenger was never as confiding as he was to Les Pat.

"What do you think?" Wenger glanced at him, then turned back to look at the field, and asked without answering.

When Steve Bald heard this, he immediately got excited.

"Manchester United have a lot of problems in the midfield. The combination of Carrick and Phil Jones in the middle of the midfield, the problem is obvious, especially Phil Jones, who is very active and has a wide range of activities, but he also often loses himself. Manchester United's defensive midfielder is often caught in Carrick's dilemma!"

"So, I think, we should take advantage of it, I propose to put on Wilshere, put Cazorla, Rosicky and Ramsey in the 30-meter area of ​​Manchester United, increase the ball and pass in the dangerous area of ​​​​United, Make more threats!"

Wenger turned his head sideways, and glanced at his assistant indifferently, without comment or disapproval.

This made Steve Bald very depressed. What kind of situation is it?

Can you tell me,

Don't look at me like that, okay?

But he knew in his heart that he couldn't become Wenger's confidant like Les Pater.

In the final analysis, he is just a nail placed by the team board next to Wenger!

From the day he entered Wenger's coaching staff, he was destined not to please the French professor.

After all, who would like a guy who is staring at him all the time?

"Go, tell Chamberlain, Wilshere and Gervinho to be ready to play!"

Steve Bald was taken aback, and changed three in one breath?

It's too much of a risk, right?

But he didn't dare to ask, and he didn't dare to say more, so he stood up immediately and went to the bench.

No matter what he said at this time, it would only arouse Wenger's anger.

It is not so easy to play Infernal Affairs!

Wenger glanced at Bald's back, shook his head and smiled wryly.

Although my assistant coach is a professional player, it is too simple to think about problems and see things.

As one of Arsenal's former defense five veterans, Bould's career is brilliant.

But like all England players, his tactical quality is too rough.

Even now, he has transformed into a coach, but he is still like this!

This should be regarded as the biggest weakness and deficiency of England, and even British coaches!

Just like Ferguson.

After so many years of coaching, the tactical aspect is still the same, but relying on rich experience, he is better and more calm in adapting to changes.

This is why Wenger refused to accept Bald's proposal.

Wanting to extend his last pass into Manchester United's 30-meter zone, would Ferguson have not thought of it, didn't he see it?

I have fought with Ferguson for so many years, so I know this bastard too well!

As soon as you change, he changes immediately!

At that time, wouldn't the replacement become useless?

Thinking of this, Wenger turned his head sideways again, and glanced at the visiting team's coach bench? Ferguson, who was glowing red and chewing gum, suddenly wanted to laugh for some reason.

You old guy, don't you want an honorable retirement ceremony?

Well, although our Arsenal can't help you now, isn't there still a Southampton team that is persevering behind you?

This time, I will make you vomit blood with anger!

It's best for you to taste, at the last critical moment, but regretfully throwing away the championship trophy that was in your hand, and see what it's like!

Thinking of this, Wenger's mental state became much clearer, and he stood up from his seat.

Three minutes later, the players warmed up and came back. Wenger pulled them to his side one by one, personally told them to explain, and finally went on the field.

Wilshere was replaced by Rosicky, who was not physically fit, and Gervinho was replaced by German striker Poldolski.

As for Chamberlain, the frontcourt player Ramsey was replaced!

In this breath, three places were changed, and Wenger rarely showed his courage to give it a go!

Ferguson stood on the sidelines, watching Arsenal change three people in a row, he couldn't help being a little surprised.

"Wenger, when did he have the courage to change people like this?"

More importantly, these three people are all types with strong personal abilities.

Needless to say, Wilshere is Wenger's favorite prince.

Both Chamberlain and Gervinho are players with strong personal ability to hold the ball.

Once these three players play at the same time, Arsenal's frontcourt possession and personal breakthrough will definitely become more threatening!

The old Scottish man glanced at Wenger with a sneer, only to find that the Frenchman happened to be looking over too.

The two made eye contact, and it seemed as if sparks had sparked!

Damn Xipi, this is going to give it a go!

The little abacus is quite shrewd!

"Arsenal's point gap with Chelsea is very small. Chelsea won this round. Naturally, the pressure on Arsenal is great. It is a matter of course if they want to win." Mike Phelan laughed.

Chelsea's game was played the day before, and Arsenal must be under pressure now.

It seems that Southampton won yesterday, and Manchester United is also under pressure today.

After hearing this, Ferguson sneered again, "How does he want to fight?"

Mike Phelan couldn't guess it either, but he asked, "Shall we adjust accordingly?"

"Adjustment? For whom?" Ferguson asked.

Mike Phelan turned his head, glanced at the bench, I rubbed, yeah, who to replace?

In the current situation, it is definitely not possible to change defensive players, but if you switch to the frontcourt, who can it be?

Anderson? Giggs? Cleverly? Hernandez? Or Shinji Kagawa?

It seems that it is not appropriate to replace anyone!

"Go, tell Cleverley to warm up and get ready to play!" Ferguson still made a decision.

Mike Phelan is also very curious. Changing Cleverley must strengthen the midfield, but who will be replaced?

The answer is, right back Raphael!

Ferguson replaced Phil Jones on the right, and Cleverley and Carrick formed a double midfielder.

However, Arsenal took advantage of the timing of Manchester United's substitutions and launched a wave of quick attacks.

Especially Arsenal's entire midfield, Gervinho, Cazorla, Chamberlain, Wilshere, etc., are all players with strong personal abilities, plus the extremely fast Wall in front Kurt, it hurts to think about it.

Once the ball reaches Manchester United's 30-meter area, the ability of these guys to hold the ball is very frightening.

"Tell them to slow down, don't move so much, especially Phil Jones, don't foul easily!"

Ferguson was a little impatient on the sidelines.

Phil Jones is known as a parachutist. To put it bluntly, he is passionate, but to put it bluntly, he is reckless!

Wouldn't it be dangerous if Arsenal were given a chance to set the ball near the penalty area?

Needless to say, before Ferguson's order was transmitted to the field, the referee Philip Dodd, who had given Arsenal a penalty before, blew his whistle. When Phil Jones was defending, he moved too much and got a card.

Arsenal won a set-kick from the left side of the penalty area!

I wipe!

Ferguson was so angry on the sidelines that he was about to vomit blood, constantly yelling at the players to be careful.

Goalkeeper De Gea is also facing a big enemy. In that position, he can just hit the goal directly!

Cazorla was standing near the penalty spot, apparently taking the penalty.

High points such as Mertesacker and Koscielny have all come up, and there is a sudden panic in Manchester United's big penalty area.

Everyone tensed their nerves and looked at the stadium.

Hearing the referee's whistle, Cazorla quickly took a free kick, which landed in the middle.

But Ferdinand stuck the position very accurately, grabbed the first spot, and made a header to clear the siege.

The ball went out of the box, but not too far.

Walcott rushed out quickly, grabbed the ball before everyone else, glanced at the penalty area, kicked a curve ball, and hoisted the ball into the penalty area again.

I saw that Mertesacker in the penalty area seemed to have a heart, and got stuck in the position ahead of time. With his tall and strong body, he firmly suppressed Evans, facing the incoming ball, shaking his head and attacking the goal!

The ball touched Ferdinand's body, and there was a small change of direction when it flew towards the goal, but De Gea reacted quickly and blocked the ball with one hand, which almost resolved a scoring crisis.

But the ball did not fly too far and landed near the penalty spot.

The young player Chamberlain, who hadn't appeared all this time, suddenly came up, and facing the falling ball, he directly pushed and shot.

The ball crashed into the goal guarded by De Gea in a straight line, one to one!

"!!!!!!"

Gunners fans behind the stands at the Emirates Stadium jumped from their seats, chanting Oxlade-Chamberlain's name.

Chamberlain, who was very thick, grinned and laughed, excitedly celebrating with his teammates.

Manchester United's goalkeeper De Gea kicked the ball towards the midfield angrily, muttering something like scolding!

Ferguson was even more furious on the sidelines.

It's been more than seventy minutes, and the ball was evened by the board?

How can you play such a game?

Seeing the dejected looks of the Manchester United players on the pitch, Ferguson really felt that he had more energy than he wanted!

Looking back again, I glanced at the bench, there was really no one there!

Hernandez is an efficient scorer, but in this case, who is he going to take down?

The cooperation between Kagawa Shinji and his teammates is very problematic, and it is not suitable to go up now.

Who else?

"Call Giggs and Hernandez to warm up immediately, immediately, quickly!" Ferguson was a little impatient.

Damn, if Arsenal equalize at the last moment, then Manchester United's great situation will be over!

Southampton won West Bromwich Albion in this round. If Manchester United draws Arsenal, that means, the points gap between the two teams will be shortened to three points!

With three rounds left in the league and Manchester United still facing Chelsea, the three-point lead is almost in jeopardy.

Because Benitez's team is not easy to play, even in Old Trafford!

Thinking of this, Ferguson also became angry.

Who the hell thought you were the only one who would give it a go?

Since the beginning of this season, Manchester United has been far ahead all the way, ranking first in the Premier League standings.

It can be said that Manchester United has sat at the top of the list for a season. If it is at the last critical moment that Southampton counterattacks and wins the championship, wouldn't Manchester United's efforts for a season be in vain?

Where should this old face of Ferguson be put?

Even if he retires, he will be unwilling to retire!

And if you stay for another year...

Ferguson really can't imagine, because he has regretted it several times!

Therefore, this time, he must retreat and win the championship!

"I have always been the only one who reversed others to win the championship, and no one can reverse Lao Tzu's championship!"

? Ferguson gritted his teeth when he thought of this.

"If you really want to do this, I will fight with you!"

Two minutes later, Manchester United made substitution adjustments.

Ferguson replaced Giggs with Nani, who was in a downturn in the game, and Hernandez with Evans, who was underperforming.

As a result, Manchester United's tactics have changed.

Carrick retreated to the centre-back position, Giggs and Cleverley partnered in midfield, Rooney retreated, and Hernandez and Van Persie partnered up front.

Although it is said to be a hasty change, in fact, Carrick has also played central defenders in the past. The effect is somewhat similar to Bielsa's arrangement of Harvey Martinez as central defenders, and Guardiola's arrangement of Javier Mascherano. The same goes for Nora to the center back position.

After all, it's all about strengthening the team's ability to get and play the ball in the backcourt!

Wenger on the side was also a little surprised when he saw Manchester United's change.

"Damn it, this old guy is crazy!"

Having said that, Wenger's expression looked a little excited.

It was as if he wanted Ferguson to get mad!

"Oh, I haven't seen him be so ruthless for a long time. This is a bit like Sir Alex Ferguson!"

Wenger looked at Ferguson who kept roaring and roaring on the sidelines, and laughed.

"However, unfortunately, Sir Ferguson, I must do my best to stop you!"

In Wenger's creed, he has fought Ferguson all his life.

Now that Ferguson is about to retire, he must give a gift.

What better farewell gift than letting Ferguson lose his league title?
