I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

At 7:55pm on May 18th local time in the United Kingdom, the players of the visiting team Arsenal first appeared outside the player channel of the Old Trafford Stadium and began to line up to welcome the upcoming home team Manchester United players.

At this time, Ye Su, Giggs and other members of Manchester United's coaching team, along with the substitute players for this game, came out of the player tunnel and prepared to go to the home team's bench.

When Ye Su's figure appeared outside the player tunnel, there was a thunderous applause at Old Trafford, and more than 72,000 fans of the home team stood up at the same time to pay tribute to the young head coach.

This kind of scene made Ye Su startled. When he played before, although there was a lot of applause, but like today, it was really the first time that the audience stood up and applauded for him.

Ye Su, who had reacted, quickly responded with applause to the Manchester United fans in all directions.

When Ye Su, Giggs and the others were walking towards the coach's bench, Manchester United fans kept passing various items from the stands next to them, asking Ye Su to sign them.

Ye Su couldn't help but think of his first game in charge of Manchester United. At that time, it wasn't him, the new head coach of the team, who received this kind of treatment, but the assistant coach beside him, Giggs.

Ye Su signed autographs for the fans all the way, while walking towards the coach's bench.

When walking past the visiting team's coach bench, Ye Su saw a tall white-haired old man standing there.

Of course Ye Su knew who it was. After signing another Manchester United fan, he apologized to the other fans who were still waiting for his autograph, and then walked quickly towards the old man.

Wenger showed a bright smile to Ye Su, and said, "Young man, congratulations, you have a perfect start here!"

Ye Su responded with a smile: "Thank you, but I hope that when I leave here in the future, there will be a happy ending."

Wenger laughed and said: "Young man, you are too demanding. On the one hand, you are too young. On the other hand, in the era of modern football, it is almost impossible for a coach to leave with a perfect ending." It’s possible. After so many years, only that old man has done it!”

Of course Ye Su knew who the old man Wenger was talking about, and at the same time, he agreed with his words very much.

After all, with Wenger's achievements at Arsenal, he couldn't leave in a decent way in the end, let alone other coaches.

It can be said that in an increasingly impetuous era, more than 80% of the head coaches who leave their current positions are dismissed because of poor record.

Ye Su said: "Jazz and you are role models for me to follow."

………………

After the two exchanged a few words, Ye Su went to the coaching bench of the home team, and Wenger also returned to the coaching bench of the visiting team.

The game also started quickly.

In this game, although Manchester United has won the championship ahead of schedule, Ye Su's lineup is still very strong. Compared with last week's Europa League semi-final second leg, there are not many adjustments.

Goalkeeper De Gea, the four defenders are Kyle Walker, Maguire, Van Dijk and Luke Shaw, one of the double midfielders is Kanter, and the other is Fletcher.

In the winter transfer window, Fletcher originally submitted a transfer application to Ye Su. He didn't get many playing opportunities at Manchester United this season. In order to seek more playing opportunities, he hopes to leave the team. However, after having a conversation with Yesu, Fletcher finally did not choose to leave the team in the winter transfer window, but waited until the summer window to talk.

However, both Ye Su and Fletcher knew very well that Fletcher had no future in the team. This meritorious player who has played for Manchester United's first team for 13 years, if he wants to play more games, leaving the team is inevitable.

Therefore, today's game can also be regarded as Ye Su's curtain call performance arranged for him at the Dream Theater.

The front four is composed of Valencia, De Bruyne, Januzaj and Rooney, Vardy, Carrick, Cleverley, Ashley Young, Smalling, Phil • Jones and Lindegaard on the bench.

Arsenal's starting lineup is the same as last round, goalkeeper Ospina, back four Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny and Monreal, double midfielders Cazorla and Cochrane, Ramsey , Jinyuyan and Sanchez partnered in the forward line, and Giroud shot forward with a single arrow. Wilshere and Walcott continued on the bench. In fact, Wenger has maintained his starting lineup for a long time, and there has been no change in the last six Premier League rounds.

………………

After the start of the game, the pace of play was relatively slow, and both teams seemed relatively conservative.

After all, for the two teams, there is nothing to pursue now. Manchester United has won the championship ahead of schedule, while Arsenal has already secured the Champions League seat. At the same time, it is almost impossible to overtake Manchester City and enter the top three in the league, thus gaining the opportunity not to play in the Champions League play-offs.

Therefore, for the two teams, the best result is that the two sides finish the game tacitly, and the players are not injured, hello, hello, hello everyone.

However, since it is a competition, the two sides must still have to pay some, and it is impossible to really work hard from beginning to end.

In the end, Manchester United took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field in the 30th minute of the game. De Bruyne pulls to the left and breaks through to make a cross. Afterwards, the unguarded Rooney volleys with his right foot from 10 yards. The ball flies into the lower right corner. Manchester United 1:0 Arsenal.

This is Rooney's 31st league goal of the season, further rewriting his career single-season league scoring record, and also tied the Premier League's scoring record after entering 20 teams.

In the first three seasons of the Premier League, there were 22 teams, so there were 42 league rounds in each season. Since the 1995-1996 season, the Premier League has only been officially determined as a league with 20 teams and 38 rounds.

In the previous 19 seasons, the Premier League single-season scoring record was 31 goals. A total of three people have achieved this achievement, namely Alan Shearer in the 1995-1996 season, Ronaldo in the 2007-2008 season, And Suarez last season. Rooney has now become the fourth Premier League goalscorer to achieve this feat.

However, this is only the Premier League's season scoring record after 20 teams and 38 rounds. When the league system was still maintained at 22 teams and 42 rounds, the scoring record reached 34 goals. Two people have achieved it, respectively in 1993 -Andy Cole, the former Manchester United legendary striker who played for Newcastle in the 1994 season, and Alan Shearer, the first scorer in Premier League history who played for Blackburn and later moved to Newcastle, scored 34 in 42 rounds of the Premier League in the 1994-1995 season ball.

At the end of the first half, Manchester United 1-0 Arsenal. It is a little surprising that Arsenal had zero shots in the first half.

………………

After the start of the second half, Arsenal stepped up their offense. After all, the statistics in the first half were too eye-catching. However, Manchester United's defense was very solid, and Arsenal failed to break through Manchester United's goal.

After 60 minutes of the game, Ye Su began to make substitutions and adjustments. Giving playing time to those players who are about to leave the team in the summer can be regarded as a farewell ceremony for them at home.

During this period, Cleverley, Evans and Lindegaard got the opportunity to come off the bench.

The referee Mike Dean also found that the fighting spirit of both sides of the game was not strong, so after 90 minutes of regular time, he did not give any stoppage time at all, and directly blew the signal for the end of the game. whistle.

After the game, the Arsenal players quickly left the field and handed over the stadium to the home team Manchester United.

Although it was close to ten o'clock in the evening at this moment, Manchester United decided to hold a simple championship award ceremony at home.

After all, this is Manchester United's last home game this season, and they will go away to challenge Hull City in the next round.

However, because it was very late and it was Monday night again, Manchester United did not arrange a parade for the team.

The Manchester United players, led by Wayne Rooney, circled the pitch to thank the fans for their support throughout the season, and then quickly returned to the dressing room, waiting for the awards ceremony to begin.

In the stadium, an awards podium was quickly set up.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the awards ceremony officially began. At this time, the stands at Old Trafford were already filled with joy. Not only did the number of fans not decrease, but many fans re-entered the stadium after the visiting Arsenal fans left.

As the head coach, Ye Su was the first to appear on the stage, and then other members of the coaching staff followed him and came to the stage to receive medals one by one.

After the coaching staff, the Manchester United players, led by captain Wayne Rooney, took the stage to receive the awards one after another.

Finally, in the singing of "We are the champions", the red ribbons all over the sky floated down, and Manchester United completed the trophy holding ceremony.
