Chapter 1083, Applause at Old Trafford

"Hello everyone in front of the TV! Welcome to today's game. I am Morris, and the person sitting next to me is Raman."

"Today's game is the semi-finals of the English FA Cup. Manchester United plays Arsenal at home!"

"This game was originally just an ordinary game, but because of Wenger's resignation announcement a few days ago, this game has some special meaning. For Wenger, the FA Cup is called 'warmth preservation' Cup', Wenger still has a certain historical advantage in the competition for the FA Cup."

"However, in recent seasons, Manchester United has risen strongly. They have won all the championships they can participate in, and they have also won the FA Cup for several consecutive years. For Wenger, who is about to leave Arsenal, this is This will be his last time competing for the FA Cup on behalf of Arsenal. I believe that the professor’s team will show its strongest form and strength to fight against Manchester United and strive for victory!”

"Wenger deployed a 4-3-3 formation for this game: Cech is the goalkeeper; Monreal and Mustafi are partnered as central defenders in the defense, with Kolasinac and Bellerin on the left and right; The midfielders are Ramsey, Xhaka and Ozil; the two wingers Aubameyang and Sanchez are on the left and right; the center position is Karazette. The substitutes are Ospina, Holding and Merte Sack, Iwobi, Elneny, Cazorla and Welbeck.”

"Wenger played his strongest lineup, and several of Arsenal's outstanding offensive players all appeared in this game. Wenger has high hopes for this game!"

"On Manchester United's side, Kim Tiger still arranged a 4-3-3 formation: De Gea is the goalkeeper; Van Dijk and Koulibaly are the central defenders on the defense, and Alonso and Kimmich are on the left and right. ; The midfielders are Kante, Kroos and De Bruyne; the two wingers Sane and Mbappe are on the left and right; the center position is Griezmann. The substitutes are Romero, Ashley Young, Valencia, Nainggolan, Lingard, Alli, Martial.”

"Jin Taige also sent out all his main players in this game. Except for the injured Lewandowski and Salah who cannot appear, the other main players are all available!"

"This game must be a very exciting showdown!"

Players from both teams came out of the locker room and ran out of the tunnel. When the Manchester United players came on the stage, the host was full of passion. When every player came on the stage, the host would shout out his name passionately, and the fans in the audience also echoed loudly.

Of course, Arsenal players don't get this kind of treatment.

But after the host at Old Trafford introduced Manchester United's starting players, he unexpectedly changed the subject.

"Today's game is not only an ordinary FA Cup semi-final, this game also has some special significance. I believe that many fans here have experienced the complete Ferguson era and still remember those exciting games. . And during the years when Sir Alex Ferguson was coaching Manchester United, our biggest enemy at Manchester United was Wenger!"

"But time flies by and flies by. Sir Alex Ferguson retires and leaves the stadium, and after the end of this season, our biggest enemy, coach Wenger, will also leave Arsenal. In today's game, coach Wenger is the captain of Arsenal." Coach, come to Old Trafford for the last time! Let us give our greatest rival a respectful round of applause!"

At this time, the Old Trafford stadium burst into applause. Their applause was not dedicated to the Manchester United players, not to the Manchester United coach, but to Manchester United's greatest opponent, the person they once hated the most, and who had taken away the United States several times. The man who overcame their victories and championships - Coach Wenger!

Jin Taige on the sidelines was also applauding. He looked at Wenger and recalled many past events. Those days when we played against Arsenal led by Wenger, those sword-fighting games have now become extremely precious memories.

At this time, in the VIP room at Old Trafford Stadium, Sir Alex Ferguson was also applauding.

Sir Alex Ferguson has been in poor physical condition recently, and he can no longer come to Old Trafford to watch every game.

Despite this, he came to today's game. After all, this was Wenger's last game at Old Trafford, which was very memorable. Looking at his old rival Wenger on the sidelines, Ferguson was filled with emotion.

By the time this season ends, the two of them may finally be able to sit down in peace and have a glass of red wine together.

Those wins and losses on the court, those competitions for championships and honors, finally have nothing to do with the French professor below.

At this time, Wenger heard the words of the host and saw the applause given to him by the fans. Even the Manchester United players on the field and the Manchester United coach on the sidelines also applauded him.

Wenger waved to the Manchester United fans in the stands and said thank you. He was very moved.

As an old rival and enemy, Wenger regards Manchester United as the biggest rival in his career. Whether it is the Ferguson era or the current Kim Tiger era, the competition between Arsenal and Manchester United has never stopped. However, the competition between the two teams is different from others. Different from the rivalry between Manchester United and Manchester City in the same city, different from the life-and-death rivalry between Manchester United and Liverpool, all the competition between the two teams Manchester United and Arsenal comes from the pitch. He is an aboveboard competitor without a trace of personal emotion.

But Wenger did not expect that when he visited Old Trafford for the last time as Arsenal coach, he would actually see the away fans applauding him. These applauses from opponents were the biggest for Wenger in the past 22 years. One of the compliments!

Wenger waved repeatedly to express his gratitude to the away fans in the surrounding stands!

The warmth before the game ended quickly. With the referee's whistle, the game began!

As soon as the game started, Arsenal launched a fierce attack towards Manchester United's half!

This fierce offensive made it difficult for Manchester United players to defend.

Van Dijk in the backcourt shouted to his teammates: "Keep an eye on people and don't let your opponents rush into the penalty area!"

Kanter also pulled back to the penalty area and swept across a large area.

Even Kroos and De Bruyne dropped back on defense to help the team get through the difficult opening phase.

In fact, Kim Tiger had already anticipated this situation. Before the game started, Kim Tiger told his players.

"Arsenal often jumps to the start this season, and many of their goals occur in the first ten minutes of the game. So we need to stabilize the start of the game and not let them play the rhythm they are used to."

Although the Manchester United players followed Jin Taige's guidance, they did not expect that Arsenal's game was even more fierce than they imagined!
