Seeing the performance of Gary·Neville, Ferguson couldn't help but shake his head.

Afterwards, he will talk to his disciples. No matter what happens, if this continues, the team will need to introduce new players on the right side.

Ferguson left the locker room.

Beckham is preparing to gloat.

Unexpectedly, Gary·Neville fell asleep again.

This guy.

Dejan Lu is really convinced.

That small candle can be solved by taking it down.

So stubborn.

Sit down and change your equipment, and Dejan Lu will draw a lucky draw.

[Your good brother Francesco·Totti has only won one championship at the club level, and the national team also only has one championship. For a top player, such results are full of regrets, so we selected a player who has more than one championship for both club and national team. Ding, get the 35th round of the 2002-2003 season Premier League, Arsenal VS Manchester United, Luo Bale·Emmanuel·Piress single game experience card]

Pires!

One of the architects of the 49-game unbeaten streak.

He was a very key figure in that Arsenal team.

If Arsenal hadn't insisted on renewing the contract every year for those over 30 years old, Pires would not have transferred to Villarreal.

At the beginning, both Manchester United and Arsenal insisted on such regulations, which gave the team full security.

This has been the case since the Irwin era.

Many players over the age of 30 may decline off a cliff at some point.

It is impossible for Ferguson to spend 70 million to introduce the older Casemiro.

Although some of the professor's final signings were not successful, there were still big names like Sanchez among the last 20 deals.

Later, Arsenal changed several coaches and introduced so many players. Not to mention the level of Özil or Sanchez, even the glory of Giroud could not be copied.

The transfer fee for Pires is not low, but it is definitely one of the most worthwhile signings for Professor.

Pires's position during the Metz period was the midfielder.

Transitioned to winger.

That's why his playing style is so similar to that of an attacking midfielder. There's no problem at all if he plays as an attacking midfielder.

In 1998, when the French team World Cup was suspended against Uruguay and Zinedine Zidane, it was Pires who stood up.

There was no one in France who could use it at that time.

It's just that Zinedine Zidane is too strong and occupies too much ball rights.

Whether it is Pires or Miku, switching to a national team such as Germany is the absolute core.

His role in Arsenal is so important, it directly adds another level to Arsenal's offense, a ball control point in the frontcourt and a ball release point.

The only problem is that there are many injuries, which affects his career achievements.

So Dejan Lu has always felt that not being injured is also a kind of talent.

The main reason those two have the same statistics as monsters is because they don't get hurt much.

Otherwise, someone as strong as Ronaldo will end up rolling on the turf holding his knees.

Such a card makes Dejan Lu very satisfied.

"Let's go out and warm up."

Bruce looked at Dejan Lu and said.

In addition to Dejan Lu being the last to change clothes, the other thing is to see if Dejan Lu has any objections to the position.

Dejan Lu stood up, nodded, and followed his teammates on the field.

As Manchester United players stepped out of the tunnel one after another.

Theatre of Dreams's DJ howled passionately and called out every name.

"Dennis·Irwin!"

"Peter·Schmeichel!"

"... The best No. 7 in the world, our Dejan!!!"

In Theatre of Dreams, there will never be an Eastern European named Dejan.

This pronunciation is a pronoun and a proper noun.

Boom——

"Dejan!!!"

"Dejan!!!"

"Dejan!!!"

Old Trafford burst into the loudest cheers.

They are well aware of the grievances between the Arsenal coach and Ferguson, and they also admit that Arsenal is somewhat of a threat.

But as long as we don't lose today, we can step on Arsenal's corpse and win the championship at home. There is nothing more wonderful than this.

It's not so much a league game.

Rather, it was the last 100 minutes or so before the championship celebration.

Every the Red Devils fan firmly believes that the team will win the championship at home today.

Countless people in the stands held various posters and foam trophies covered with tin foil.

One TIFO after another is hung under the stands, carrying the glory of the team.

George·Best picked up the wine bottle and took a sip, and said excitedly, "I didn't expect that being a fan is no worse than a player. Watching football is more exciting than playing football."

"You don't have many years to live if you drink like this."

Bobby·Charlton complained.

"Hehe, captain, hehe."

George·Best burped and said with a smile, "If you keep restraining yourself in life, what's the difference between living in a concentration camp?"

"Officer Naz didn't drink as much as you. I think Gazza might go to see God earlier than you."

Charlton said angrily.

He was very optimistic about the junior Gazza, but unfortunately he didn't live up to expectations at all.

Who is a good guy who drinks two bottles of whiskey before playing football?

That is to say, the coach I met was easy to talk to and didn't tell the media about him.

There is no specific news about this in the newspapers. Fans know that he is addicted to alcohol, but they don't know the specific extent.

Gazza often misses training because he cannot walk in a straight line.

George·Best doesn't care.

After he entered the hospital, the doctor told him that he would die if he continued to drink, but he just couldn't control himself.

Best feels that it will not be a loss if this kind of life continues for more than ten years.

In his life, he slept with all the women he wanted to sleep with and drank all the good wines.

After retiring, I can still watch Manchester United continue to be brilliant.

Everything they create will be well protected and inherited, so there is really nothing to worry about.

"This is another matchup that attracts the attention of fans. Our professor is a character that Ferguson hates very much. But judging from this season's performance, we have to admit that the Frenchman has indeed brought great changes to Arsenal."

"Yes, I heard the news from the Arsenal board of directors. They are willing to continue to support Arsène·Wenger. Wenger's team played beautiful football. Gullit is now a player and coach who claims to play sexy football, but it seems that the results are not as good as Arsenal's."

"The situation in London is getting more and more exciting, but we should still pay attention to today's game and take a look at the starting situation of both sides."

Manchester United 442 double midfielders:

Goalkeeper: Schmeichel,

Defender: Irwin, Parister, Bruce, Phillip·Neville,

Midfielder: Dejan Lu, Redondo, Keane, Beckham,

Forwards: Cantona, McClair.

Arsenal 433 double midfielder:

Goalkeeper: David·Seaman,

Defenders: Winterburn, Martin·Keown, Scott Marshall, Lee·Dixon,

Midfielder: David·Platt, Lei·Parrott, Lothar Matthäus,

Forwards: Ian·Wright, Bergkamp, Johan·Hutson.

"The starting lineup above is a bit surprising. Little Neville replaced his older brother. The reason given by Manchester United was that Gary·Neville was injured. Although he appeared in the squad, we saw that he did not come out to warm up. Maybe he was really injured."

"Arsenal's defense also has some injuries. The most important thing is that there are problems with their forward line. Fans who often watch Arsenal games should be very clear."

"Well, we all know what kind of football the French want to play, but his forwards don't seem to know."

The most important thing about Arsenal's forward line is that they don't have a serious No. 9.

Even if his passing ability is a bit poor, being able to cover Bergkamp will make the Dutch play more comfortable.

Judging from the forwards Chamakh and Bendtner, the professor loved centers who could stand in the penalty area and had certain skills. This was not common. Swede, who never missed Arsenal's trials, may be the most suitable player for him.

But even if Ibrahimović is signed, Arsenal cannot keep him.

Maybe it will still be a move to Barcelona.

Lao Laote is dark and fast, while Hutson is an immature No. 9 who also needs space to sprint and doesn't like to be at the front.

As for why he was immature, he was suspended from training for stealing other people's credit cards when he was in the youth team. Later, he left Arsenal and was suspended from the team for kicking a teammate in the head.

Even in the football world where there are so many scumbags, he is still considered a thorn in the side.

Although the newspaper did not specify.

But anyone with a little more knowledge will know that there is a problem between Hutson and Lothar Matthäus.

Such a partnership cannot help Bergkamp. Instead, the Dutch need to find ways to take care of them.

Keown Go up and guess the coin, the game is about to begin.

Bergkamp looked back at Lothar Matthäus.

The German raised his chin at him.

This friendly gesture did not make Bergkamp feel better, but made her feel very tired.

One has dared to steal large sums since he was a child, which is not petty theft, and the other has been hated by people and dogs in the neighborhood since he was a child. It is normal for two people to not be able to urinate in a pot.

He just hoped that Hutson wouldn't fight Lothar Matthäus today.

Sometimes Bergkamp feels relieved when he returns to the national team. He really wants those reporters who always talk about the internal strife in the Netherlands to take a look at the Arsenal locker room.

The conflict between blacks and whites in Suriname is nothing.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the referee Gary Willard blew the whistle to start the game.

Cantona takes the ball and passes it directly back to Dejan Lu.

Click——

Dejan Lu Just put your right foot and start trying.

Pires's dribbling is similar to Figo, with a strong sense of rhythm.

His father is from Portugal and his mother is from Spain, so it has been difficult for him to integrate into France since he was a child.

I was born to dream of being a son, and I like Benfica.

However, he has also rejected Real Madrid and Benfica, and he has some phobia of wealthy families.

But the delicacy underfoot cannot be faked.

Lothar Matthäus came to him directly, which made Dejan Lu's heart skip a beat.

Eighty percent of the time, the professor assigned the task of personal defense.

In this world, any offensive player will be under great pressure when facing a Lothar Matthäus who concentrates on defense.

Dejan Lu did not continue to dribble the ball, but quickly passed it sideways to Redondo.

There is no need to spend time, this is caused by the strength of the opponent.

Redondo understood what Dejan Lu meant and began to organize in the backcourt. He found that Lothar Matthäus had been swimming around Dejan Lu and he did not pass the ball to the left.

Ferguson The situation on the field happened immediately.

But he did not emphasize letting the players pass the ball, but looked towards the Arsenal coaching bench.

Want to use a piece of trash to exchange for Manchester United's strongest point?

This tactic is insidious.

Damn French!

But Ferguson is not in a hurry.

He knew that Dejan Lu must have his own ideas.

In football, you make moves and I try to split them up. Only when you can't split up your moves will you be restricted.

Dejan Lu is a player who is very good at finding the opponent's loopholes. Even Ferguson is not as keen as his observation on the court, so Ferguson never gives Dejan Lu advice.

Arsenal pressed hard today.

They made more moves in the frontcourt than before.

Ian·Wright accelerated towards little Neville, and little Neville quickly passed the ball forward.

This kick was a bit small, and Beckham and Platt chased the ball together.

Beckham, who felt that he might not be able to get the ball first, turned his attention, pressed his center of gravity, and shoveled it out with a sliding kick.

The ball was tackled and the ball bounced off the bottom line of little Neville's feet.

"Good opportunity, throw it directly into the penalty area, Lothar you go and throw it!!!"

The professor shouted from the sidelines, "After throwing it, go back and defend Dejan, and be fast!"

"French is really ugly."

Ferguson said angrily.

"He seems to be speaking German. French people know many languages." Brian·Kidd reminded.

"A Frenchman who speaks German is a traitor."

Ferguson complained.

Kidd quickly suppressed his laughter.

He found that when Ferguson faced Wenger, his mood fluctuated much more than usual.

Lothar Matthäus went to the sidelines.

His strength is at the top level in the entire football world, let alone Arsenal.

After taking a look at the penalty area, Lothar Matthäus took a run and threw the ball far away.

Damn you sly bastard!

Schmeichel almost cursed.

Players from both sides were paying attention to the closer point. Fortunately, he found that the power of the ball was not right and quickly moved his position.

Lei·Parrott was standing on the right side of the penalty area with no one to defend him. He took the ball and fired a volley before stopping.

Schmeichel quickly reached down and blocked the ball with one hand. Keown and Keane tried to poke the ball into the goal, but it hit Schmeichel's arm and bounced back into the small penalty area.

There was a chaotic fight in the small penalty area.

Platt wanted to shovel the ball, but Bruce poked the ball out in advance.

"Direct pass, long pass!"

Phillip·Neville Unexpectedly, when the ball reached his feet, he heard Ferguson shouting.

Scotland's accented English made him dare not neglect him. He raised his head and took a quick look, then raised his arm and right foot and rubbed it out hard.

Bang——

More than 60,000 fans in the audience looked up at this pass.

As long as it can be given in place, the counterattack can be successful.

After the ball flew over the center line, it continued unabated and went straight to the left side of the front court.

In terms of long passes, the British full-backs have good basic skills.

The ball hit the ground right in front of Dejan Lu.

Marshall, who was lagging behind, wanted to steal, but Dejan Lu reacted faster than him.

Manchester United's number 7 raised his right foot and knocked it under the ball.

Snap——

With a crisp sound, the ball went directly over Marshall's head and landed in the penalty area.

Winterburn on the other side was running back quickly, but the distance was too far behind.

Dejan Lu When he got the ball again in the penalty area, there was no interference around him.

Many Manchester United fans are already celebrating in advance, because Dejan Lu cannot miss such a good opportunity.

David·Seaman stood behind the penalty area near the line with a urinal gesture, not daring to move at all, just keeping his weight down and waiting for the judgment of death.

Snap——

Dejan Lu knocked underneath the ball that was bouncing on the ground and pulled it up.

The power was not great, but it made Seaman feel desperate.

Lob shot!

The ball was not too slow and flew to the back of his head almost instantly. Seaman tried his best to lean back and stretch his arms, but failed to touch the ball. The ball flew into the goal against the lower edge of the post.

Precise and elegant.

Dejan Lu touched the ball twice, but the opponent had no chance to touch the ball.

The score was rewritten directly.

After scoring the goal, Dejan Lu raised his collar, opened his arms, and looked around the entire Theatre of Dreams.

Boom - "Dejan!"

"Dejan!"

"Dejan!"

Just half an hour later, Theatre of Dreams's name Dejan Lu rang again.

This time it wasn't because of a great warm-up performance.

Cantona stopped and did not continue to move forward.

Every time he saw Dejan Lu celebrating like this, he felt like a man.

"Dejan!"

"Dejan Goal!"

"GoalGoalGoal!"

"Dejan scored the first goal of the day just 6 minutes after the opening."

"Arsenal got a throw-in opportunity in the backcourt, but he failed to take advantage of the set piece, which instead enabled Manchester United to counterattack."

"There are only two situations for Dejan's single-handed ball. One is that it is scored directly, and the other is that it is too focused on the angle and is slightly off. It is not easy to hit Dejan's single-handed ball."

"Yes, Dejan once again helped Manchester United take the lead. Arsenal's dream of attacking Manchester United in the away game was shattered. Dejan has not yet won a draw in a game where he scored first, even if it was just one game."

"Dejan is not an ordinary player, unless we have Diego Maradona teaming up with Lothar Matthäus."

"Ferguson coached for many years before winning the championship. I think losing is not a problem."

"Manchester United has never won against my team without Dejan..."

The professor stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, mumbling something.

What I had thought about before finally happened.

Then we should regain some space in the post-match press conference.

Phillip·Neville didn't expect it to be so simple to assist, so when he went up to celebrate, it was still a step too late.

However, Dejan Lu did not forget him and gave him a thumbs up from a distance.

Little Neville scratched the back of his head and giggled.

Gary That idiot always told him that assisting is not easy. He has to pass it to Redondo. Now it seems that it is not that difficult. Could it be that his brother is too good?

Players from both sides returned to the center circle again to prepare for kick-off.

Hutson looked at Dejan Lu with some envy.

Even if he is simple-minded, he knows that Dejan Lu is a goal he will never reach.

Bergkamp couldn't help but shake his head.

This young man still has some talent.

But there is something wrong with your character. If you just watch others push yourself but don't work hard, you won't even be able to realize your talent.

He also doesn't have the time in the United States to be a psychological teacher for troubled youths.

Why not spend some time with your family during the holidays?

After kick-off, Bergkamp handed Wright, and immediately reached for the ball, fearing that Ian·Wright would rush towards the Manchester United half as soon as his brain got hot.

Wright passed the ball back, and Bergkamp passed it back.

Parrott is also a player who can hit both sides of the ball. His upper limit is not as high as Paolo·Merson. However, his current physical condition is better than Merson, so he occupies this position.

Parrott returns, Lothar Matthäus knocks horizontally.

These three people have a tacit understanding of cooperation.

Beckham rushed towards Lothar Matthäus, trying to restrict him from getting the ball.

However, Platt still passed it to Lothar Matthäus, and Lothar Matthäus knocked the ball forward in front of Beckham. He passed the ball and pushed him forward with his body.

Very arrogant approach.

But Beckham was annoyed to find that he had no choice.

Physical confrontation is not on the same level at all.

He was obviously taller, but he still focused on Lothar Matthäus.

But after running for a few steps, the frequency of my feet was inconsistent, and I stumbled and almost fell.

When Redondo saw this, he waved his hand to Keane, signaling Keane not to go forward, and he would go ahead and grab it himself.

He is the only one who can compete with Lothar Matthäus in Manchester United.

It's a pity that Lothar Matthäus was very clear-headed when playing football and had no intention of entangled with him. He quickly passed the ball directly behind the defense line while running.

Ian·Wright went to the bottom easily, while Phillip·Neville could only chase back hard.

In front of the penalty area, Wright made an emergency stop and spiked the ball, allowing Neville to rush out of the baseline before adjusting and passing the ball out.

Hutson and Bergkamp took off almost at the same time, but they had no advantage in the air.

Parister, who is over 1.9 meters tall, bounces well and easily heads the ball out of the penalty area.

Wright and Platt rushed to the ball almost at the same time. Keane got the ball first and failed to turn around, but Wright poked the ball out from the front.

Platt didn't dare to take the ball too much and quickly kicked it horizontally.

Parrott came up and shot the ball directly from a long distance, but hit the ball into the stands.

"Lei·Parrott, Wenger replaces another drunkard with one drunkard. The only difference is that this drunkard's drinking age is shorter."

"Jim, your words were a little harsh."

Martin·Taylor said helplessly.

Jim Beglin mocked. "I just told the truth. Paolo·Merson drank himself into the hospital to quit drinking. Ray Parrott is not a person who cares about himself. "The Sun" said that Wenger persuaded him not to drink. Then he asked for two drinks on the plane."

Taylor could only nod silently.

Smoking and alcohol are too common in football at this time.

It is said that cigarettes are more harmful than alcohol, but judging from the situation in football, drinking alcohol can harm yourself more seriously.

The occasional celebration drink is not worthy of being in the newspapers.

These players, who are known to drink, drink more than a liter a day.

Sometimes he wonders if alcohol is banned in football, half of the wineries in the world will close down.

The professor shook his head with regret and subconsciously reached out to touch the buttons of his suit and then put his hand down.

Judging from the cards, not counting Dejan Lu, he also prefers Manchester United's lineup.

Arsenal's defense is adequate now, but their offense really lacks structure. If Cantona partners with Bergkamp, his lineup's offensive power can be greatly improved.

As for Parrott and Merson, he felt they were not as good as that young man Scholes.

At least they have a future and are self-disciplined.

Looking at it this way, summer signings are still very necessary. He needs to make some signings for the forwards and midfielders.

After taking the lead, Manchester United played very patiently.

Lothar Matthäus likes to defend closely, and Dejan Lu is not in a hurry.

The worst case scenario is a 1:0 win and three points.

Instead, Arsenal should be anxious.

It has to be said that the professor's tactics are decades more advanced than Graham.

He also saw from the position of Arsenal players that Arsenal's responses are also based on the triangle.

This is where formations in football are evolving.

Movement without the ball is the basis for a lot of things.

No matter how skilled a team is, they will make mistakes if they keep waiting for the ball.

This constant running is to reduce the probability of mistakes.

Lothar Matthäus's one-kick long pass ability is also quite exaggerated. Both teams have the ability to send the ball to the opponent's dangerous area with one kick.

This isn't the kind of long pass that's just about luck.

It's about precise and quick passing maneuvers.

Arsenal voluntarily gave up on this point and asked Lothar Matthäus to come and redeem the money.

He must have felt that he couldn't defeat him.

Redondo took the ball, and Dejan Lu immediately made a gesture and ran forward.

Lothar Matthäus just followed the start and rushed out, and Dejan Lu slowed down and returned to his position.

This somewhat annoyed the Germans.

Playing with him!

Snap,

Redondo passed the ball to the left this time.

Dejan Lu turned sideways and knocked the ball forward without stopping.

Lothar Matthäus, who had just returned, started up again. Dejan Lu rarely chose to fight against him instead of competing for speed.

The two people squeezed together and ran forward, even so the speed was not slow.

Theatre of Dreams staged a show of speed and passion.

Click——

Just when the two people were still more than one meter away from the ball, Dejan Lu suddenly stopped, causing Lothar Matthäus to lose its center of gravity, and he was thrown in front of Dejan Lu.

Dejan Lu, who had just stopped, jumped over him and easily got the ball.

Looking at Dejan Lu's back, Lothar Matthäus's eyes were on fire.

But he also admitted that Dejan Lu is smarter than him.

In terms of IQ, it should be almost the same as Ai Ince.

Platt immediately went to the wing to help defend, and Dixon waited for Dejan Lu on the wing of the penalty area.

Dixon took the lead.

Click——

Dejan Lu moved closer with the inner instep of his right foot, then moved with the outer instep. His shoulders cooperated with his feet and Dixon swayed away. Platt, who was standing behind the two people, didn't even have a chance to stretch his feet. He could only watch Dejan Lu pass the ball to the right with his left foot and take it from his side to the penalty area.

Platt quickly turned around to chase, but was a step too slow and missed the best opportunity.

Even if both people are in the penalty area, the distance is still widening.

Lothar Matthäus, who returned to the edge of the penalty area, did not move. After sprinting continuously, he could no longer run.

Other defensive players were still standing in front of the small penalty area, which made Lothar Matthäus couldn't help but secretly curse idiots.

Sure enough, just as they reached the extension line at the top corner of the penalty area, Dejan Lu raised his right foot and shot. This shot accurately bypassed Marshall. Seaman's save failed to touch the ball. The ball went into the right side of the goal.

"Dejan!!!"

"Dejan!!!"

"Dejan Goal!"

"GoalGoalGoal!!!"

"Dejan once again scored a one-stop goal from the left. After getting rid of Lothar Matthäus, he passed Platt and Li·Dixon, and then took another shot from the left and sent the ball into the far corner."

"This goal basically helped Manchester United seal the victory. Manchester United is about to win its fifth championship this season. It is really a terrifying honor harvester."

"What's even more frightening is that Manchester United still has two honors, FA Cup and the Champions League, to pursue this season. It may become an unprecedented and to a large extent unprecedented Seven Sisters!"

"Although Arsenal's performance is good, it is difficult for them to even reach the top four this season, but this is enough. We have seen the changes France has brought to Arsenal. He is a capable coach. Maybe Arsenal will become stronger next season."

Manchester United players ran forward one after another and celebrated with Dejan Lu.

The fans in the stands frantically waved everything in their hands to interact with the players.

The tin foil shone brightly in the setting sun, and even though he knew the trophy was fake, it still made Lothar Matthäus envious.

Because after the game, Manchester United players will hold it up.

Alas, it was his teammates who dragged him down.

If he and Dejan Lu are on the same team, no team will be able to defeat them...
