Amid all the noise, Wenger was always sitting on the home team's coaching bench at the Emirates Stadium.
The game has been going on for nearly seventy minutes, and the score on the field is still zero to one.
In the stoppage time near the end of the first half, Manchester United got a penalty kick opportunity.
Robin van Persie, who returned to the Emirates Stadium for the first time after moving to Manchester United, calmly hit the penalty kick amidst the boos of the audience, giving Manchester United the opening kick. record.
Since then, the two teams have never had a better scoring opportunity, and the game has remained deadlocked until now.
If we look purely at the scene, Arsenal undoubtedly has the advantage.
But the problem is that Manchester United played very pragmatically in this game, focusing on defense and not giving Arsenal a chance easily.
Seeing the game time passing minute by minute, Wenger felt somewhat impatient.
Of course, compared with Ferguson, who rushed to the sidelines from time to time and shouted at players and referees, Wenger seemed too calm and calm.
"Boss, should we change people?"
Assistant coach Bould, who was sitting nearby, came up and asked.
Former Arsenal great Steve Bould has become Wenger's assistant coach since Lesparte retired.
But Wenger was never as confidant to him as he was to Lesparte.
"What do you think?"
Wenger glanced at him, then turned back to look at the field without answering.
When Steve Bould heard this, he immediately became excited.
"Manchester United's midfield has many problems.
The midfield combination of Carrick and Phil Jones has obvious problems, especially Phil Jones.
He is very active and has a wide range of activities, but he also often loses his position, which makes Manchester United's In the defensive midfield position, Carrick is often in a dilemma.”
"So, I think we should take advantage of it.
I propose to replace Wilshere and let Cazorla, Rosicky and Ramsey enter the thirty-meter area of Manchester United to increase the ball taking and passing in Manchester United's dangerous areas. create more threats” Wenger turned his head and glanced at his assistant with a neutral expression.
This makes Steve Balder very depressed.
What kind of situation is it?
Can you tell me, don’t look at me like that, can you?
But he knew in his heart that he could not become Wenger's confidant like Lesparte.
In the final analysis, he is just a nail placed by the team's board of directors next to Wenger.
From the day he entered Wenger's coaching staff, he was destined not to please the French professor.
Let me ask, who would like a guy who stares at him all the time?
"Go, tell Oxlade-Chamberlain, Wilshere and Gervinho to be ready to play."
Steve Bould was stunned and changed three in one go.
The risk is too great, right?
But he didn't dare to ask or say more.
He immediately stood up and went to the bench.
No matter what he says at this time, it will only attract Wenger's anger.
It’s not that easy to play Infernal Affairs Wenger glanced at Bald's back, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Although he, the assistant coach, is a professional player, he thinks about things and sees things too simply.
As one of the five veterans of Arsenal's defense in the past, Bald's career was brilliant.
But like all English players, his tactical qualities are too rough.
Even now, he has transformed into a coach, but he is still like this This should be regarded as the biggest weakness and shortcoming of England and even British coaches.
Just like Ferguson.
After coaching for so many years, the tactics have always been the same, but with rich experience, I have become better and more calm in adapting to changes.
This is why Wenger refused to accept Bald's proposal.
Wanting to extend his final pass into Manchester United's 30-meter zone, Ferguson didn't expect or see it.
I have been fighting Ferguson for so many years, and I know this bastard very well.
When you change, he immediately changes too At that time, wouldn't substitution become a useless effort?

Thinking of this, Wenger turned his head again and glanced at Ferguson, who was glowing red and chewing gum in front of the visiting team's coaching bench.
For some reason, Wenger suddenly wanted to laugh.
You old guy, don’t you want a glorious retirement ceremony?
Okay, although our Arsenal can't give you any trouble now, isn't there still a Southampton team that will persevere behind you?
This time I will make you so angry that you vomit blood It would be best for you to have a taste of it.
At the last critical moment, you regretfully threw away the championship trophy that was already warm in your hand and see what it feels like.
Thinking of this, Wenger's mental state became much clearer and he stood up from his seat.
Three minutes later, when the players came back from warm-up, Wenger pulled him to his side one by one, gave instructions in person, and finally came on the field.
Wilshere was replaced by Rosicky, who was in poor physical condition, and Gervinho was replaced by German striker Bordowski.
As for Chamberlain, he replaced frontcourt player Ramsey.
Three places were changed in one breath, and Wenger rarely showed his courage to give it a try.
Ferguson stood on the sidelines and was a little surprised as he watched Arsenal replace three people in a row.
"When did Arsene Wenger get so bold that he changed people like this?"
More importantly, these three people are all types with strong personal abilities.
Needless to say, Wilshere is Wenger's favorite prince.
Chamberlain and Gervinho are both players with strong personal ability on the ball.
Once these three people are on the field at the same time, Arsenal's frontcourt ball and personal breakthroughs will definitely be more threatening.
The Scottish coach glanced at Wenger with a sneer, only to find that the Frenchman was also looking over.
When the two of them made eye contact, sparks seemed to fly.
Damn it, you have to give it a try.
The little abacus is pretty shrewd, right?
"The point gap between Arsenal and Chelsea is very small now.
Chelsea won this round.
Arsenal is naturally under a lot of pressure.
It is natural to want to win."
Mike Phelan said with a smile.
Chelsea's game was played the day before, and Arsenal must be under pressure now.
It's like Southampton won yesterday, and Manchester United is also under great pressure today.
After hearing this, Ferguson sneered again, "How does he want to fight?"
McFerran couldn't guess it either, but he asked, "Should we adjust accordingly?"
"Who should I change?"
Ferguson asked.
Mike Phelan turned around and glanced at the bench.
I said, yes, who should be replaced?
In this situation, it is definitely not possible to change defensive players.
But if we change to the midfielder and frontcourt, who can Anderson Giggs Cleverley Hernandez or Shinji Kagawa It seems that no matter who I replace, it won’t be suitable.
"Go, tell Cleverley to warm up and get ready to play."
Ferguson still made a decision.
Mike Phelan is also curious.
Replacing Cleverley will definitely strengthen the midfield, but who will be replaced?
The answer is, right back Rafael
Ferguson replaced Phil Jones on the right, with Cleverley and Carrick forming a double midfielder.
However, Arsenal took advantage of Manchester United's substitutions and launched a wave of rapid attacks.
Especially Arsenal's entire midfield and frontcourt, Gervinho, Cazorla, Chamberlain, Wilshere and others are all players with strong personal abilities, plus the extremely fast Wall in front.
Kurt, it gives me a headache just thinking about it.

Once the ball reaches the thirty-meter area of Manchester United, the ability of these guys to hold the ball is very frightening.
"Tell them to slow down, don't move so big, especially Phil Jones, don't foul easily."
Ferguson was a little impatient on the sidelines.
Phil Jones is known as the Flying General.
At best, he is passionate; at worst, he is reckless.
If Arsenal is given a set-piece opportunity near the penalty area, it is not very dangerous.
Needless to say, before Ferguson's instructions reached the pitch, the referee Philip Dodd, who had previously given Arsenal a penalty, blew the whistle.
Phil Jones made too many moves while defending and received a yellow card.
Arsenal win a set-piece opportunity on the left side of the penalty area I wipe Ferguson was so angry on the sidelines that he vomited blood and kept shouting to the players to be careful.
Goalkeeper De Gea is also facing a powerful enemy.
From that position, he can just hit the goal.
Cazorla stood near the penalty spot, obviously taking it.
High points like Mertesacker and Koscielny came up, and there was a sudden tremor in Manchester United's penalty area.
Everyone tensed up and looked at the stadium.
When the referee blew his whistle, Cazorla quickly took a free kick, which landed in the middle.
But Ferdinand stuck his position very accurately, grabbed the first landing spot, and headed the ball to clear the ball.
The ball left the penalty area, but not too far.
Walcott rushed out quickly, received the ball before anyone else, glanced at the penalty area, kicked the ball with a curve, and then hoisted the ball into the penalty area again.
I saw Mertesacker in the penalty area seemed to have a telepathic connection, and got stuck in his position in advance.
With his tall and strong body, he firmly suppressed Evans, faced the ball, and shook his head to attack the goal.
The ball scraped Ferdinand's body and made a small change of direction as it flew towards the goal.
However, De Gea reacted quickly and blocked the ball with one hand, barely resolving a scoring crisis.
But the ball didn't fly too far and landed near the penalty spot.
The young player Chamberlain, who had never appeared, suddenly came up and hit the falling ball with a push.
The ball hit the goal guarded by De Gea in a straight line, one to one.
"goa" Gunners fans behind the stands at the Emirates Stadium jumped up from their seats and shouted Chamberlain's name.
Chamberlain, who looked very stout, grinned and celebrated with his teammates excitedly.
Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea angrily kicked the ball towards the midfielder, mumbling something like a curse.
Ferguson was even more furious on the sidelines.
It's been more than seventy minutes, but the ball was conceded and was equalized by the board.
How can we play such a game?
Looking at the frustrated looks of the Manchester United players on the field, Ferguson felt a little overwhelmed.
I turned around again and glanced at the bench.
There was really no one there.
Hernandez is a very efficient scorer, but in this case, he went up and asked who he wanted to score.
The cooperation between Shinji Kagawa and his teammates is very problematic, and it is not appropriate to go up now.
Then who else "Ask Giggs and Hernandez to warm up right away, right now," Ferguson said impatiently.
Damn, if Arsenal equalize at the last moment, then Manchester United's great situation will be over.
Southampton defeated West Bromwich Albion in this round.
If Manchester United draws Arsenal, that means the points gap between the two teams will be shortened to three points.
With three rounds left in the league and Manchester United facing Chelsea, their three-point lead can almost be said to be in jeopardy.
Because Benitez's team is not easy to play at all, even at Old Trafford.
Thinking of this, Ferguson also felt angry.
Damn I thought you were the only one who would give it a try Manchester United has been leading the way since the beginning of this season and is at the top of the Premier League standings.
It can be said that Manchester United has been at the top of the list for a season.

If it is only at the last critical moment that Southampton counterattacks and wins the championship, then Manchester United's efforts for a season will be in vain.
Where can I put Ferguson's old face?
Even if I retire, I won’t be willing to retire.
And if I stay for another year Ferguson really couldn't imagine it, because he had regretted it several times.
Therefore, this time, we have to retreat and win the championship.
"I have always been the only one who can reverse others and win the championship.
No one can try to reverse me and win the championship."
Ferguson gritted his teeth when he thought of this.
"If you really want to do this, I will fight with you."
Two minutes later, Manchester United made substitutions.
Ferguson replaced Nani with Giggs, who performed poorly in the game, and replaced Evans, who performed poorly, with Hernandez.
As a result, Manchester United's tactics have changed.
Carrick retreated to the central defender position, Giggs partnered with Cleverley in the midfield, Rooney dropped back, and Hernandez partnered with Robin van Persie up front.
Although it is said to be a hasty change of formation, in fact, Carrick has played as a central defender in the past.
The effect is somewhat similar to Bielsa's arrangement of Javi Martinez as a central defender and Guardiola's arrangement of Mascherano.
It's the same as moving to the central defender position.
After all, it’s all about strengthening the team’s ability to get and play the ball in the backcourt.
Wenger on the side was also a little surprised when he saw Manchester United's change of formation.
"Oh no, this old guy is crazy" Having said that, Wenger's expression looked a little excited.
It's as if he wants Ferguson to go crazy "Oh, I haven't seen him so ruthless for a long time.
This feels a bit like Sir Alex Ferguson."
Wenger looked at Ferguson roaring and roaring on the sidelines and laughed.
"But, unfortunately, Sir Alex Ferguson, I must do my best to stop you."
In Wenger's creed, he has been fighting Ferguson for his whole life.
Now that Ferguson is retiring, he must give a gift.
What better farewell gift could there be than letting Ferguson lose the league title?
