Faced with the upcoming battle, Ferguson seemed determined to win at the pre-match press conference: "This is our first time to fight at the Emirates Stadium. We strive to give Arsenal a defeat, but obviously this year's Arsenal is not strong. I think they are the only ones who care about us, and we don't regard him as a competitor."

Ferguson's words were so toxic. Wenger felt very uncomfortable in his ears, but who said that Arsenal's performance this year was not good?

Arsenal is currently 15 points behind Manchester United. Wenger believes that the 15-point gap is mainly due to the team's youth: "Marion United's performance is consistent whether they are fighting against strong teams or weak teams. We lost to Fulham, Portsmouth and Sheffield United. But we performed well in the matches of strong matches. We performed poorly at the beginning of the season. Due to our lack of experience and condition, we were affected by the sequelae of the World Cup."

This game was also the 34th time between the professor and the Sir Joe. Before that, Wenger won 13 times, slightly behind the Sir Joe 15 times, and tied 6 times.

The 15-point gap seems a bit unattainable, but the professor still has fantasies: "I believe Arsenal has the potential to win the Premier League! We need miracles, and more than one..."

Perhaps only the professor believes it himself, and his players probably don’t believe it. If he can reverse the championship by 15 points behind, then will Manchester United and Chelsea die?

"Hey, Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's home court, why do Manchester United fans seem to occupy half of the territory?"

"It seems that Arsenal fans don't support the team enough, and Emirates Stadium is actually dissatisfied! If Wenger doesn't bring a championship to the team, the fans will be too heartbroken."

Looking at the somewhat empty seat, Reinkell sighed a little.

"Manchester United has come back, but Arsenal is still struggling. They are starting to fight for the fourth place, and the distance between them is getting farther and farther away from the championship. Today, it seems that they are in danger."

"But Arsenal has two spells at home this season. First, it is unbeaten at home. Previously, he was scored by his opponents in five home games (Villa, Miburg, Everton, Newcastle and Portsmouth), and Arsenal eventually saved the defeat. In the 24 rounds of the league, only four teams could maintain unbeaten at home. Arsenal was one of them, and the other three were Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool. Second, he would win at home."

"However, in the small standings of the giants, Manchester United actually won a terrible victory, with Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal maintaining a victory all at home. Now against Arsenal is the first away game in the giants' match."

"The starting lineups of both sides have been given out, Arsenal has almost no injuries, Manchester United lacks Modric."

The eye-catching competition officially began.

After a brief test, Manchester United turned away and began to lead the offensive. Although Carrick was missing, Scholes and Modric could still control the game. Giggs was also an old man, and Manchester United's control in the midfield did not actually reduce much.

As long as the trident in the frontcourt is in shape, Manchester United still has many opportunities to score.

In the 4th minute, Ronaldo broke through on the right and was knocked down by Rosici, winning a free kick from the right. Giggs made a free kick from the cross and was headed by Sendros. Then Giggs took another corner kick from the right, and Adebayo pushed the ball out of the front point. Both set-piece defenses were excellent, mainly because even Henry and Adebayo ran back. The space in Arsenal's penalty area was almost squeezed out, and Dong Fangzhuo was seen very hard.

Two minutes later, Scholes put the ball to Dong Fangzhuo at the edge of the penalty area. Dong Fangzhuo passed the ball directly back without stopping. Giggs shot with his left foot from 23 yards, and the ball slipped out of the goal. Then Rooney dribbled the ball from the left, and Ronaldo's left foot shot missed in the melee at 24 yards.

After surviving the first ten minutes, Arsenal quickly turned the passive situation.

In the 11th minute, Henry and Fabregas cooperated, and Henry finally passed the ball to Adebayo. Adebayo wanted to turn around and shoot on the left side of the penalty area, but the focused Gary Neville kicked the ball out of the baseline. Then Rosici took a corner kick and Ferdinand headed the ball to clear the ball successfully.

However, it was still Arsenal's ball. Left-back Krish assisted and hung the ball to Manchester United's left side. Henry easily removed the ball with his left foot and walked through Modric, then pulled the ball to the goal with a big foot!

30 yards outside the near angle!

When Van der Sar fell down, his face was full of contempt. Henry underestimated him so much that he actually kicked his feet in this position!

He held the ball tightly in his arms and launched a counterattack.

With just two kicks, Scholes sent the ball to Dong Fangzhuo's feet. Dong Fangzhuo wanted to pull the ball and turn around, but Toure kicked Dong Fangzhuo directly from behind him. The referee immediately gave Toure a yellow card.

This Toure was very determined today. Dong Fangzhuo patted his butt and got up. He looked at Toure seriously. There was a light in Toure's eyes, as if he was very satisfied with his movement.

The ball was sent again, but Fabregas and Rooney grabbed the ball at the same time. Rooney fell down and Arsenal fouled again.

Dong Fangzhuo ran over and wanted to send a free kick soon, but Ebue came over and pushed him. Dong Fangzhuo staggered and fell down. Rooney immediately complained to the referee, but the referee did not make a penalty.

Manchester United immediately responded with a color, Evra fouled against Flamini's tackle in the backcourt, and the referee also did not say anything.

"Today, the referee's standard is a bit big..."

"I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."

Henry took a free kick, and Sendros' header from 15 yards was easily confiscated by Van der Sar. However, Arsenal's offense continued. Fabregas played very actively, ran back to the midfield to get the ball and tried to turn around, but Giggs directly tackled him behind him, and this time the referee finally took out a yellow card.

If the first 10 minutes belong to Manchester United, then the second 10 minutes belong to Arsenal, but neither side scored a goal.

In the 21st minute, Manchester United made a long pass over the top in the backcourt. Dong Fangzhuo and Toure rushed towards the ball at the same time. To be on the safe side, Toure pushed the ball out of the baseline. Giggs took a corner kick on the right, Dong Fangzhuo dragged the defense in the middle, and Vidic headed the ball from 8 yards in the middle to the top.
Chapter completed!
