Chapter 447 Blood Wash Arsenal

Manchester United met Portugal's strong team Benfica, Swiss champion Basel and Romania's mysterious mentor Galatz Steel in the group stage of the Champions League. Regarding the signing, Manchester United CEO David Gill said that he was sure that the new coach Ancelotti would be happy with the signing.

"We played a great game with Benfica, and Sir Bobbi Charlton recalled the great game in 1968 before the draw. We have played a lot of great games with Benfica after 2000, so we look forward to playing in Portugal.

"In the past few years, we have achieved great success in the Champions League, and we are looking forward to the arrival of the new season of the Champions League. I'm sure Ferguson will be happy about this. We met a new Romanian team and congratulated them on coming to this tournament. We are looking forward to playing there.

As Jill said, Ancelotti was very happy with this sign. In an interview on Manchester United's official website, An Shuai said, "This is an interesting draw, and there are no real travel difficulties. We are looking forward to the game. Obviously, we have played with Benfica before, and they always play great games. Both clubs have a great history. Basel is a Swiss team, and they have done a very good job. The Swiss team always sends a lot of young players. We met with Basel in the group stage in the 02-03 season. We really don't know much about Galatz Steel, but this is the charm of the Champions League. You have the opportunity to play with the new team. They definitely deserve to participate in this competition, which is a good thing for them.

Manchester United's main central defender Ferdinand was also satisfied with the result, and Leo wrote on his Twitter, "It's a very good draw. Judging from the past history, it is difficult to play Benfica away. We and Benfica have a great history. Basel and Galatz, we're coming!"

However, David Gill said in an interview that he did not expect Manchester United to sign new players in the last week before the transfer window closed. When asked if there would be further signings this summer, Jill said, "I don't think so. We have watched a few players, but we are very satisfied with the existing lineup. We made a few great introductions this summer, and we got a young and energetic lineup. We are looking forward to a great season, and I'm sure that many other teams think so too. Many clubs have strengthened their strength, especially in England, but we feel that we have made progress now. I'm sure Ancelotti will get the best player this season.

The Champions League has been changed to the league system for the 20th year. Since AC Milan won consecutive championships in 1989 and 1990, only Manchester United can break the "magic spell" of the team's successful defense of the title!

Who can win the first place first? The first suspense of the new season's Champions League is naturally Barcelona. The team does not hesitate to spend a lot of money to introduce Alex Sanchez and Fabregas, which can be said to be a tiger's wing. Messi, Harvey, Iniesta and other stars are still at their best. There is no doubt that Barcelona will be the most popular for the championship.

The second team that has attracted much attention is Real Madrid. The biggest challenge of Mourinho's coaching career: Can he become the first coach in history to lead three different club teams to win the Champions League? In the second year of coaching at Inter Milan, he helped the team regain the "Big Ears Gold Cup" after 45 years. So after a year of running-in, Real Madrid introduced strong aid such as Rooney. Can the "Magic Bird" further stimulate the potential of the team's superstars and hit Barcelona's monopoly position in La Liga and the Champions League?

The third team is Manchester United. Although the new coach Ancelotti has not led the team for a long time, Ferguson's players are still at the bottom of the board. You know, Ferguson has won 13 Premier League titles in 2019. For the first time in 20 years, Manchester United has not led Ferguson to the Champions League.

In Ancelotti's view, it is not easy for Manchester United to have appeared in the Champions League group stage for 16 consecutive years and win four final championships. Whether there is a fifth trophy or not, while having strength, luck is also very critical! In this summer's transfer market, they were quick and accurate, quickly completing the team's alternation between new and old. It's just that the long-rumored Sneid has never arrived, so can the existing lineup help the Red Devils go further than last season's Champions League?

The fourth team is still unknown, that is, the "dark horse" that fans expect. It was unexpected that Tottenham Hotspur and Shakhtar Donetsk reached the top eight last season, and the furthest one was Schalke 04, who reached the semi-finals. Unfortunately, the Bundesliga team, which eliminated Valencia and Inter Milan last season, only appeared in the UEFA Europa League play-offs this year. What can be eye-catching this time is Manchester City, or AC Milan, which has been ranked second but has recovered strongly, or Dortmund, who swept the Bundesliga last season?

Manchester City is in the third gear in the Premier League team, so it is not surprising that they fall into the group of death.

Next year's UEFA Champions League final will be held at the Allianz Stadium. Bayern Munich will bravely break through the barrier and join the goal god Neuer and Jerome Boateng. Coach Heinx is expected to strengthen the team's defense. The strong center Mario Gomez has broken out after a year of silence, with the support of "Roberg" behind him, which must be a hot spot for qualifying.

Villarreal reached the quarter-finals and quarter-finals in the previous two Champions League matches, and also advanced to the semi-finals in the UEFA Europa League last season. The only away defeat led by Boas in Porto in the whole season was at the love song stadium of the yellow submarine!

Naples may be a relatively weaker team in this group. They had the glory of winning the UEFA Cup during the Maradona period, but 2008 was the first time they returned to the European Games in 14 years. In the last season, they were eliminated by Villarreal in the last round of 32 of the UEFA Europa League. However, with excellent attackers such as Cavani, Hamsik and Ravitch, they are not afraid of any opponents at home.

After Nasri's arrival, the Manchester City team's lineup has been very strong, and even the midfield and front-court attackers are overcrowded. What tests Mancini is not only how to skillfully rotate, but also to prevent potential "troublemakers" such as Balotle and Tevez from affecting morale. What's more important is how to adjust the defense line when fighting against these strong enemies. The pre-season Community Shield, the last round of the Premier League and the last season's UEFA Europa League can be seen that once they leave the Ittihad Stadium, their defense line is not resistant to pressure. Whether Manchester City can break out and even seize the top position in the group, Manchester City has to count on a complete victory at home.

Arsenal have won all five home games against the Bundesliga team in the past five times, including a 2-0 victory over Dortmund in 2002; nearly 8 visits to France to keep unbeaten. It seems that the data is relatively favorable, but the Gunners who have lost Xiaofa and Nasri can't talk about it at the same time. It is gratifying to maintain a complete victory in the play-offs and reverse Udinese, but the two rounds are stormy. The midfield and backfields must have a large investment to buy strong reinforcements to continue the proud record of being able to qualify in the group stage of the Champions League in the past 11 years. The problem is that the club has not been used to introducing inflated stars for many years, and there are still the last six days left for the transfer. How can there be high-level players with "cheap and beautiful"? I'm afraid that gun fans can't expect higher. The team is destined to usher in a transitional season.

Both Chelsea and Manchester United have drawn a good draw and are sure to win the top spot in the group. Especially for Manchester United, only Benfica has the ability to compete with them, and Basel, Switzerland and the new Garati of Romania, are more opportunities for the Lord to hone the newcomers. Chelsea can mainly observe how Boas integrated newcomers Mata, Lukaku and "diffy" Torres into their own tactical system. Valencia has been selling football stars in recent years, and its competitiveness is declining. If Leverkusen's Barak can play the main force, he will have a chance to return to Stamford Bridge. But it is estimated that they and Belgian Genk can only compete for the second place in the group.

After the end of the Champions League group draw, the third round of the Premier League is also coming. Red Devils Manchester United will play Arsenal Arsenal at Old Trafford at home!

Unlike in the past, he always likes to give his opponent some smoke bombs before the key battle. Ferguson, who sings opposite the stage, has retired gloriously. Wenger meets Ancelotti, and the war of words before the game can be avoided.

Ancelotti is more like a good old man. He shows enough respect for Arsenal. The Premier League century war without any gunpowder before the game makes people feel somewhat nostalgic for Ferguson.

The old man with the red nose will never let you guess what he will say at the pre-match press conference. Wenger's skills gradually honing, tit-for-for-tat gentle counterattack.

Such scenes can only be stored in historical data!

Nowadays, the Red Devils are no longer in the Ferguson era, and Arsenal is still like an unsupportable fight. Such a Premier League century war has more or less lost part of its unique charm.

Manchester United beat Arsenal 8-2 at home, which is the biggest victory for Manchester United against Arsenal in a hundred years. After the game, Ancelotti said the score was surprising, but An Shuai defended Wenger again.

"This is surprising, because when you play against Arsenal, you always think it's a tough game. We are sometimes too careful. They create a lot of opportunities, because they are still strong on the front line. Arsenal's overall strength has weakened, and we have still completed the task. Generally speaking, we are very satisfied with the results, and we have maintained the usual level.

"I don't think it's fair to criticize Wenger. Of course, I sympathize with Wenger. He is a great footballer. In the past 15 years, his work for Arsenal has been incredibly excellent. He brought Arsenal a very strong team that Arsenal had never experienced before. He brought a lot of exciting players to Arsenal. He deserves this respect. Wenger sold many people at a high price and took care of Arsenal's accounts. People forget these things. Now this is a cynical world. When you lose some games, the judgment on you will appear immediately.

Ancelotti confirmed that Welbeck missed two European preliminaries between England and Bulgaria and Wales due to injury. "He felt a strained ligament, and he will miss England's game. It's a pity, because Welbeck is in good condition at the right time, and he is a valuable asset of England."

Li Yu staged a hat-trick in the game. After the game, Li Yu said that the game was unbelievable. In an interview with Sky Sports One, Manchester United 9 said, "Today's performance is unbelievable. We deserve this result. Whether Arsenal's lineup is complete or not, every time we play with them, we will try to score goals.

The first goal scored in this game is also Li Yu's 100th goal for Manchester United. Many of my landmark goals were scored against Arsenal. My first goal for Everton was scored against Arsenal; my first goal for Manchester United was against Arsenal in the league.

Arsenal lost 2-8 to Manchester United and suffered the Gunners' worst defeat in 115 years! The direct cause of the shooter's defeat is undoubtedly the fragile defense of "tofu dregs". In addition to the miserable post-90s rookie Jenkinson, the other three defenders of the Gunners are also like walking dead, allowing Manchester United players to be like wolves. Even if the Gunners did his best and made 6 wonderful saves in the whole game, he could not stop the team from being slaughtered by the Red Devils. He picked up the ball from the goal 8 times in 90 minutes...

In the 22nd minute, Manchester United's Mata sent a pick-up pass in front of the penalty area. Arsenal's two central defenders, Joru and Koscielny, failed to carry Welbeck. Joru fell to the ground in a physical contact, and Koscielny was also squeezed away and embarrassed, while the Red Devils' post-90s young player easily headed the ball in the small penalty area. Penetrating Szesni's ten fingers. In the face of this virtual central defender "barrier", Szesni angrily smashed his water bottle to the ground, venting his anger in this way.

And this is just the beginning of a series of tragedies. In the 28th minute, Jenkinson indulged Li Yu's easy cross, and Traure's weak header became the assist of Manchester United's new aid Mata, completing the latter's wonderful arc. In the 41st minute, Jenkinson's reckless foul gave Li Yu a chance to show his free kick stunt. In the 63rd minute, Jolu repeated Jenkinson's sadness. The play once again provided Li Yu with a stage to perform the full moon machete. In the 67th minute, Li Yu divided the ball to the left side of the Gunner's penalty area. Trurey was completely invisible at this moment, and Nani easily broke the door.

In the 70th minute, Jenkinson indulged Mata to take the ball calmly in the penalty area. Park Ji-sung received an assist and pierced Jolu's small door and Arsenal's gate. In the 76th minute, the right rib of the shooter guarded by Jolu and Jenkinson was pierced by Li Yu's long pass, and Jenkinson, who hurriedly made up for the defense, fell down from behind to form a single knife. Little Pea, who accumulated two yellow cards, was sent off. Six minutes later, Evra easily cut in from the right side of the empty gunner and won the penalty. Li Yu completed a hat-trick. In the 91st minute, Lansbury, a temporary guest star, saw Mata draw an end to the massacre.

What a "miserable" word! Arsenal's four starters - Jenkinson, Jolu, Koscherny and Troure, received 3 points, 3 points, 4 points and 3 points respectively in the post-match scoring of Sky Sports. In the score of fans, they only got 2.5 points, 2.7 points, 3.2 points and 2.8 points. In this extremely open offensive battle, Arsenal's four defenders only had four successful steals, while Evra of the Red Devils completed four times alone!

What's more sad is that this is already the "strongest" defense that Arsenal can line out. On the gunman's bench, there is only 18-year-old young player Miquel, a defender!

This is not the first time that Arsenal's defense has caused the team to collapse. Last season, Arsenal was chased by Newcastle for 4 goals in 22 minutes in the Premier League, and was defeated by the relegated team Birmingham in the League Cup final. This tragedy is still vivid. However, in this summer's transfer market, while selling Clichy and letting go of Eb, the Gunners actually only introduced Jenkinson as a defender. Seeing Manchester United introduce Phil Jones and Manchester City's acquisition of Clichy and Savage, the Gunners and Gary Cahill, Chris Samba, Jagilka, Scott Dane and other excellent backs. Wei passed by again and again.

Not only is the defense is quite weak, but also Arsenal failed to sign Mata after losing Xiaofa and Nasri, but was intercepted by Chelsea halfway. It was in this round of the Premier League that Mata stunned Stamford Bridge in 30 minutes and scored his debut. Nasri's Manchester City debut also offered an assist hat-trick. In the face of this situation, I don't know how Arsenal feels?

For this reason, Wenger has been pushed to the forefront of the fans and the media, but although this calculating and elegant coach is not the same, compared with the two real culprits, the Prime Minister, he is actually just a poor scapegoat. The real scourge of Arsenal is the club's CEO Gazdis and president Hillwood! It is the incompetence of these two executives in the transfer market that makes Wenger helplessly out of today's "disability"; these two executives are the real culprits behind Arsenal's greatest humiliation in 115 years!

How can such a situation not make people miss David Dane, the former vice chairman of Arsenal! As Paul Mason, who has played for the Gunners for 11 seasons, pointed out, it was David Dane's departure in 2007 that led to today's tragedy! Mason said, "They will miss David Dane. Since he left, everything has collapsed!" Dane always makes a good contract. During his tenure, Arsenal signed Ovimas, Petit, Vieira and Henry! Arsenal is a legendary club. There are only 3 days left before the summer window is closed. We must spend money to attract money! In the next week, Lord Ferguer can sit on the beach and enjoy the sunshine, but Wenger must work hard to sign in the new aid! I think Arsenal needs to buy 1-2 central defenders, 1 central forward and 1 center forward.

However, how easy is it to talk about 4 aid in 3 days? What's more, Arsenal has been sluggish in the transfer market for four years! Let's take a closer look at what Arsenal has done in the transfer market since David Dane left in the summer of 2007.

In the 07-08 season, Arsenal sold Henry (21 million pounds), Reyes (10.5 million pounds), Jonberry (4 million pounds); signed Fabianski (3.8 million pounds), Sarnia (7.9 million pounds), Las Diarra (2.5 million pounds), Eduardo (105 0 million pounds). In the 08-09 season, Arsenal sold Flamini (free), Lehman (free), Gilberto Silva (2.2 million pounds), Hleb (13.2 million pounds), Sendros (2.2 million pounds); signed Sylvester (840,000 pounds), Ramsey (5.63 million pounds), Ashavin ( 14.5 million pounds), Nasri (14 million pounds).

In the 09-10 season, Arsenal sold Adebayo (25.5 million pounds) and Colo Toure (16.5 million pounds); and signed Vermallen (10.5 million pounds).

In the 10-11 season, Arsenal sold Gala (free), Sylvester (free), Campbell (free), Eduardo (635 million pounds); signed in Chamak (free), Koscherni (11 million pounds), Squilach (5.7 million pounds), Gong Shiliang (undisclosed). This summer, Arsenal sold Clichy (7 million pounds), Abe (3 million pounds), Fabregas (25.5 million pounds) and Nasri (24 million pounds), but signed in Gervinho (10.5 million pounds), Chamberlain (15 million pounds), Jor Campbell (900,000 pounds) and Jenkinson (1 million pounds).

As long as you compare the loss and replenishment of gunners, you can see that Arsenal's fall from the Champions League runner-up to today's Champions League. What's the reason!?

Arsenal Club once made a fan estimate and concluded that the Gunners have up to 27 million fans worldwide! Even in the second half of this defeat, Arsenal fans sang uninterruptedly in the Old Trafford stands: "We love Arsenal! We love Arsenal! Arsenal! We love you!"

However, Arsenal's humiliating performance on the field, Arsenal's high-level molestation and inaction, are they worthy of these infatuated fans!?
