Restricted Superstar

Due to the rush of time and worries about the body, Gao and Gao finally gave up going to England to accompany his son and chose to watch Gao Xiaodong's game at home.

Gao Xiaodong had no choice but to spare more time to talk to his parents on the phone to comfort him.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the atmosphere of the war between Manchester United and Arsenal is getting stronger and stronger.

In the first leg contest at Old Trafford this season, Arsenal lost 1 to 8 and set a number of embarrassing records that the Gunners fans could not look back on: the record for the largest loss in the history of the match against Manchester United, and the club’s biggest conceded in 115 years. The record, the away goal net record since the Premier League restructuring, tied the 20-year European mainstream league giants' score record...

Although Manchester United's strength is above Arsenal, Arsenal has not forgotten the shame of a disastrous defeat in the first leg. Both fans and players are looking forward to returning to the home court for revenge.

Four months later, the chance of revenge finally came.

Before the game, Henry, the gunman king who came to rescue during the winter break, issued a vengeance statement to Manchester United.

"The Gunners are also a giant team. We have a glorious history that does not belong to Manchester United. We must defend our honor. 1:8 is not a normal score. Even a British championship team will not lose so much. This is our shame, we must use the victory of this game to wash away this shame..."

The Gunners’ core Van Persie also complained about the loss in the first round. “No team will not lose, but it cannot accept the rout-like loss. After that game, I didn’t fall asleep all night. I hope we can Prove yourself in this game."

Professor Wenger is not an aggressive coach. In the press conference before the game, he decompresses his players for the goal of four. Revenge is not the most important thing. Manchester United was not defeated by Manchester City at home. ? Of course, it is a good thing for players to have this spirit, and I hope they can remain calm when playing against Manchester United. "

Compared with the Gunners, Manchester United is much calmer, and most of the fans are paying attention to Ferguson's 70th birthday and whether Pogba can play.

In the eyes of the Red Devils, the first round victory cannot be replicated, but the away defeat to Arsenal is not a big problem.

I think Arsenal back then was Manchester United's biggest opponent, but now Arsenal is just a mid-range team that can no longer pose a threat to Manchester United. Now Manchester United's opponent is their city rival Manchester City.

Manchester United is in good condition, and Manchester City is not inferior to Manchester United at all. Since Manchester United lost to Manchester City at home, Manchester City has always been on the top of the standings.

This round of Manchester United are going to challenge Arsenal, this is a tough battle, Manchester City this round is also not easy, their opponent is Tottenham, the ranking is still above Arsenal.

This round is very important for Manchester United and Manchester City, which rank the top two in the standings. If Manchester United loses, they may fall behind on the road to the championship. If Manchester City loses, Manchester United will catch up and even overtake.

The game was played at four in the afternoon, and Manchester United arrived in London in the morning.

There are many Chinese in London, and there are also dragon and lion dances in London. When the Manchester United bus passes by, some people send blessings to Gao Xiaodong and Manchester United, so that the battle between Manchester United and Arsenal brings some Chinese New Year atmosphere.

After adapting training and resting in the hotel, Gao Xiaodong and his parents used qq video chat on the computer for a while. He saw his uncles and cousins ​​all come to his house and watch TV making dumplings with his parents. Gao Xiaodong I feel much better.

Gao Xiaodong bowed to his uncles and uncles for an early age, and asked them not to stay up late to watch his game, until Ferguson came over, Gao Xiaodong closed QQ to rest.

At 4 pm on January 23, London time, when the Chinese New Year bell strikes, the 22nd round of the Premier League is the pinnacle event. Arsenal Arsenal and the Red Devils Manchester United game kicked off at the Emirates Stadium.

Home team Arsenal's lineup

Goalkeeper: No. 13 Szesny

Defenders: No. 20 Juru, No. 4 Mertesacker, No. 6 Koscielny, No. 5 Vermaelen

Midfielder: Song No. 17, Ramsey No. 16, Rosicky No. 7

Forwards: No. 14 Walcott, No. 10 Van Persie, No. 15 Chamberlain

This is an offensive 433 formation.

Arsenal entered 2012 and lost to Fulham and Swansea in succession in the away game. This time, they returned to the home court and made three personnel changes. The biggest advantage is Vermaelen's comeback, he replaced teenager Mikel as a guest left back. Midfielder Chamberlain played Arshavin for the first time in the Premier League, and Rosicki replaced Benayoun.

Former Gunners King Henry sat on the bench, although in view of his lack of physical fitness, Henry sitting there is an inspiration to Arsenal's players.

Manchester United's lineup is:

34-Lindegard/4-Jones, 6-Evans, 12-Smalin, 3-Evra/25-Valencia, 10-Gao Xiaodong, 16-Carrick, 17-Nani /19-Welbeck, 9-Rooney

Manchester United is a solid 442 formation, and Pogba, who had high hopes before the game, was also placed on the bench.

Obviously, even though Pogba shines during this period, in Ferguson's view, Pogba is still a bit tender, and this kind of competition is not suitable for young people like him.

At the beginning of the game, the Chinese commentator He Hui, who came to the live broadcast, was very excited. "The New Year’s bell rang, and the Manchester United and Arsenal games also started. It’s like the Premier League is presenting our Chinese New Year. In the first game of the Year of the Dragon, I hope Xiaodong can show the spirit of the dragon horse and use his victory to present a New Year gift to the billions of compatriots across the country."

The English commentator on the scene said another way, “Today is China’s New Year’s Eve, this day the Chinese family reunion, but our protagonist Gao Xiaodong today is going to have a crucial game. For Gao Xiaodong , This is a bit cruel. We hope Gao Xiaodong will not be affected by his homesickness and help Manchester United win Arsenal away."

The first kick-off is the away team Manchester United.

Arsenal are committed to revenge. At the beginning of the game, the players pressed for the game and prevented Manchester United from organizing the attack.

In the first minute of the game, Arsenal teenager Chamberlain intercepted the ball from the left sideline of the front court. After cooperating with Ramsey in the penalty area, he knocked the ball out of the penalty area. Gao Xiaodong, who returned to defense, got the ball in the first time.

Marseille turned back and passed the pressing Arsenal midfielder Rosicky, Gao Xiaodong split the ball to Nani.

Playing Marseille roundabout in front of his own home, Gao Xiaodong's bold move attracted a burst of surprise applause from Manchester United fans.

Nani counterattacked with the ball and crossed the ball from the edge of the penalty area. Carrick inserted the penalty area and prepared to pass. The focused Arsenal defender Qiao Lufei shoveled the ball to clear it.

Alexander. Song grabbed the ball and passed it to Rosicky, who counterattacked with the ball.

Manchester United quickly pressed Rosicky, Rosicky didn't do it recklessly, he picked the pass to the right and handed the ball to Chamberlain.

Chamberlain made a high-speed pass from the bottom line. Manchester United's full-back Evra failed to keep up. The ball flew into the penalty area, but the ball was too close to goalkeeper Lindgard and was held in his arms by Lindgard.

The game has just begun, but the two sides did not test and entered the hand-to-hand combat mode.
