On the eve of a key round of 24 match of the English Premier League, in which the “Emireyts” converge Arsenal and Manchester United, we suggest that you read the opinions of the defenders of each of the parties.
Arsenal:
For the first time in the history of British television and the football match of English Premier League (and any other league) will show a 3D quality. In the pubs of London, Manchester and Edinburgh Kardifaa can be ordered a pint of beer, put on special glasses and vtupitsya in plasma, watching Wayne Rooney, a lengthy and unrealistic real, at breakneck speed away from Sol Campbell. Or not go? Or not on Sol Campbell?
Interesting and does neprazdny question. As another, more important: who will win?
In the narrow circles of fans of Manchester United is now fashionable assertion: after the new year “red devils” newly reborn and now sweep away all in its path. Arsenal is, in their opinion, the team playing well with the weaklings, but before this monster is powerless Folded. Well ourselves calculate: Wayne Rooney, who scored 19 goals in the championship and the injured Eduardo da Silva. Or, three ha-ha, Nicklas Bendtner. Well, you can listen to their words, but you can just look at the football calendar. So, for the last ten matches of Manchester United scored 22 points, “Arsenal” at this time earned 24! Tellingly, the “Gunners” never lost, and the list of their rivals seems povnushitelnee “diabolical”. Manchester United was very good in games against Hull (twice), “Wigan” double “Wolves” visiting “Burnley”, “West Ham and Portsmouth. It is with these guys Ferguson’s teams have maximum points, but with teams of at least a little bit stronger (Fulham, Aston Villa, Birmingham City), it was not so simple. Rather, it was very difficult and bleak. Perhaps you can already assume that today’s Manchester United are not too confident playing against stronger teams. Moreover, the trend can be traced back to last season. Remember, in the last season champion “red devils” twice defeated Liverpool, scored a point in the duel with Arsenal and in the four games against Chelsea. In this they have already managed to play Chelsea and crisis Liverpool. It is true that beat Arsenal at home, with not too fair penalty. The trend is understandable, but do not really understand its origin. Why? Why United’s constantly losing points with the giants? Perhaps, because now “the devil” are not a formidable force, capable by class and power to beat any artists. The team Sir Alex a lot of weaknesses, which sees any more or less sophisticated adversary. Take defense. Vidic and Ferdinand, terrifying its inaccessibility in past seasons, have played alongside a few matches. And then, vaunted Rio Ferdinand very much like a Titus Bramble in a duel with Fernando Torres or the Manchester derby. And Vidic, it seems, hourly checks his mailbox to determine whether it offers from Real Madrid. Jonny Evans is to progress and stability just need an experienced partner. Now the injured Brown and O’Shea moderately experienced, but not too great Becky. In general, before the game with Arsenal in the defense “United” will have just healed the injured Vidic and Evans, which will allow plenty of frolic attack “Gunners”. It is also interesting who will help them at the right edge, because a stable player in this position Sir Alex no. Let me remind you that the Arsenal on the left side of attack will play Arshavin (if Nicklas Bendtner will be released in the start), so the young Raphael or old Neville will not oh, how sweet.
In midfield with mankuniantsev very crowded, but the number is not always determines the quality. Anderson is interested in “Lion” (not “Barcelona” with “Real” or even “Inter” and “Lion”), Carrick can not play, Fletcher excellent start of the championship, but quietly surrendered, Scholes alternate good games with failures. On the flanks are ageless Giggs, Nani is not maturing, not klassneyuschy Park and Valencia. The attack tore Rooney, but who will it help? Berbatov all the time preparing for the operation and a bit of straining his lethargy, and Owen shines on big holidays.
Patrice Evra is unlikely after the game will be able to say that this was a match of the men against children, for now Arsenal – this is not a group of kindergarten. Is it like a child’s Alexandre Song? Or Gallas, crudely played against a player Bolton and calmly continue the attack? Or perhaps Vermaelen? Or, Sol Campbell, who replaced Thomas, if he can not recover in time? No, it’s time to forget the stereotypes – “Gunners” are not long gathering of talented teenagers, it missed trophies professionals who are able to cross the principles for the sake of victory! And the cool players in the Gunners’ no less, because for every Rooney, Giggs and Ferdinand will find your Arshivin, Fabregas and Gallas!
Do not also forget that the game will take place at “Emiteyts Stadium, and at the stadium of Manchester United in the Premier League has never won. “Red Devils” can not win six consecutive away games against teams the big four (five of them “red” lost), and too little evidence to suggest that they can interrupt his sad series.
Manchester United:
After a long break mezhdusoboychiki “big four” again renewed. And they renewed deadly for Arsenal series of three matches against Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea in 11 days. This, if you take into account the recent battle and Aston Villa and Arsenal, Arsene Wenger could not remember since its appearance in England. And this is a very long time, it is worth to say.
Compounding the difficulties of Arsenal that the hospital did not even think to empty. This is already becoming a tradition – as soon as someone from the “Gunners” sign final clearance in the hospital, his place immediately took another. I think about it I have already written – the problem has already become a kind of constant, that is a permanent phenomenon, which can be tolerated or not, but we need to find some solutions.
Let’s start with defense. There are problems with both teams (remember the disqualification of Ferdinand), but the loss Vermaelen seems to me an irreparable loss, but the loss of Ferdinand … “MJ” somehow managed without Rio last few months, so I think there are options. A pair of Brown – Evans or Vidic – Evans, if yield any combination of these players with Ferdinand, then uncritically, because Rio is far from his best Conditions.
As for Arsenal, then this decision is a “problem Vermaelen, is likely to be so – will come from the first minutes of Sol Campbell, who were recently running in League 2 for” Notts County, then in general practice who was without a game for several months. With all due respect to the honored veteran, do not think it is more or less equivalent replacement Belgians, even in the first approximation. So already not sinless defense Wenger will be even more vulnerable.
Midfield Arsenal in all matches, which ran parallel with the African Cup, clearly not enough, as we now can say for sure, a key performer in the center of the field – Alex Songa. He had arrived in the camp home team, but that’s to play it? After a long flight Song did not sleep all night, and Wenger was sent home, so a little rest. Solve Monsieur Arsène, but that the probability of exit Songa mainly composed of not one hundred percent – obviously.
Most likely, the line midfield to take a look – Nasri, Fabregas, Denilson, Rosicky, which is good for the attacking power of the team, but can easily cause problems near their gates. Yet central bridgehead “MJ” in the form of a triangle Fletcher – Carrick – Scholes looks more balanced.
As far as the flank play, the last match in performance, Luis Antonio Valencia forced to completely forget about the “problem of Ronaldo – Ecuadorian finally found himself in” MJ “and issued a number of luxury matches, forcing mankuniantsev clearly reject the right vectors of their attacks. Moreover, the output during rest Ecuadorian Nani played well, which added a nice headache to Sir Alex – who is still used on the right flank …
But all this is nothing more than whist. Totus Ferguson in attack – the degree to which today form resides Wayne Rooney, should give food for thought Arsene Wenger and his defenders. And let poker (four of a kind, as someone like, it does not affect) the gate “Halla” someone would call pleasant thing, but not particularly important, but Wayne’s performance in the championship in the last ten matches – 12 goals scored, speak for themselves.
“Manchester” really can be reproached for this year only one match – in the FA Cup with Leeds when Ferguson’s team looked toothless in attack and did not create the proper number of points to be called the victory a “white” produced, thanks to luck. Lost time on the case, but the conclusions seem to have been made – “Burnley”, “Hull” and, most important, biggest rivals Manchester City in the League Cup semi-final were defeated in good style, with a promising game.
Yet not all have “MJ” is because I would like, but what the team is clearly gaining momentum closer to the start of the playoffs and obviously the Champions League match against Arsenal in this series should be an intermediate peak, for the one who wins will be able to more reason to expect a better chance in the title race, moreover, will supply self-confidence.
“Manchester” in this season with fellow “Big pho played not very convincing, but Arsenal something, just, beat, even though generally not the best game. “Gunners” are also not shone in those matches, winning only in crisis “Liverpool”, which in this company now can be applied only on the old memory. Much is significant in my opinion, matches against Manchester City – the opponent, which this season looks more dignified place in the Champions League rather than “red” (for now at least). And so it something Arsenal twice lost without question – and the championship and in the Carling Cup, unlike the “DOJ”, though “with teeth”, but gained two victories and here and there.
The match promises to be as always an interesting, intense and will mean for both teams very much, because it is possible that ended with a score, which will try and make a bet.
