"Maël ooh ooh!! Ghostly steps shining at Old Trafford Stadium! He single-handedly challenged Manchester United's defense!!" This is a one-man goal! We saw the Strength in him! His Speed! His courage!! And his indomitable will!!"
"Three to one! Arsenal, with one less player, scored a wonderful goal! Killing the suspense of the game!" Too wonderful! A few minutes ago, I believe everyone was worried about whether Manchester United would take advantage of the numerical advantage to score two goals in a row, and end Arsenal's undefeated streak again at Old Trafford.
"But a few minutes later, everything turned to Arsenal! You must firmly believe that they will complete the 58-game undefeated feat!"
"."
"Yeah!"
On the sidelines, Wenger raised his hands high, his voice hoarse, he walked quickly towards the assistant coach on the coaching bench, took two steps and changed from walking to jogging, and then to sprinting, it can be seen that his emotions were constantly rising.
After arriving in front of Hans, Philip and others, he jumped high and bumped chests with the two, then hugged them tightly.
Under the carnival that enveloped the entire stadium, Wenger's face turned red, and he roared hoarsely: "Nothing can stop us! Under hard Strength, everything else is in vain! "We won! Won!!"
Hans, Philip and others also turned red, opening their mouths wide and shouting celebratory words.
Around them, all the Arsenal substitutes stood up and hugged each other, and many people ran to Maël in the corner flag area to share the joy of this hard-won goal with him.
On the other side, Ferguson's expression changed several times, eventually turning into plainness.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief, and a relaxed look suddenly appeared in the corner of his eyes, as if this result would make him feel better.
The other Manchester United players on the field were different, most of them looked dazed, looking blankly at the ball in their own goal and Maël, who was sprinting to celebrate.
After recovering, they turned all their energy to 'how to accept a complete defeat with one more player'.
At this moment in the Arsenal locker room, the side door was suddenly pushed open, and Gilbert, draped in a bath towel, rushed out, looking at the TV inside the locker room.
While taking a shower just now, he heard earth-shattering shouts from outside the field, so he quickly rinsed his body and came out to watch the battle situation with tension and a little expectation.
The broadcast on the TV was delayed. The first scene Gilbert saw was Maël staggering and then running to the corner flag area with a big laugh, followed by the score changing, Arsenal leading Manchester United three to one.
He understood everything in an instant, and spread his arms with a big laugh, "Yeahh! Maël!! You are a god!!"
All the haze disappeared in an instant, Gilbert's face quickly flushed, he jumped and celebrated in the locker room, and accidentally slipped.
Immediately afterwards, he saw Maël making a celebration of throwing his Shin guards, and understood the other party's intention.
"Huhu.!"
Gilbert stood there and took a few deep breaths, clenched his fists and murmured: "Don't worry, the red card is just a little bit of wind and frost, I will stand up and move forward bravely, we will definitely work together to complete the final goal."
"Gilbert! Gilbert!" At this moment, a rapid voice sounded from outside the locker room door, and an assistant coach rushed over, seemingly wanting to relay the good news on the field to Gilbert.
However, after seeing the smile on Gilbert's face, he immediately understood that there was no need to say anything.
"Hahahaha.!" The laughter of the two then echoed in the locker room, causing the passing staff to look sideways.
"Beep! Beep! Beep——!!"
Inside the stadium, three long whistles sounded, and the score was fixed at three to one, Arsenal finally won! Maël and many Arsenal players raised their hands high towards the sky, and many people knelt down excitedly and kissed their jerseys.
"The score simply cannot show the excitement of this game, nor can it show how much difficulty the Arsenal players encountered in this game! "They experienced resistance from the environment, resistance from opponents, and finally resistance from themselves! But no matter what, they overcame everything and achieved the final victory! "This is their 52nd undefeated game! In another 6 games, they will tie Milan's Football Record!"
"."
"In the end, let's give all the flowers and applause to Maël, to this player who is in a league of his own in the Premier League, and even in the world of football!
"In the 14 rounds of the Premier League this season, he has already completed 24 goals and 10 assists! Creating 34+ goals in 14 rounds, averaging nearly 3 goals per game, I really can't see his limit!
"Without a doubt, this is a Ballon d'Or-level performance! We've recently seen some news about Maël and the Ballon d'Or on social media, and we also know that he will definitely be a popular candidate for the Ballon d'Or at the end of the year. Will he break Ronaldo's record and become the youngest Ballon d'Or Winner?
"I hope so!"
"..."
"Clap clap clap...!"
Applause rang out in the stadium, not only from Arsenal fans, but also from Manchester United fans, but what was the same was that they were all sending encouragement to the Arsenal lads.
At the point when Ferguson might leave Manchester United, at the point when Ferguson and Wenger reconciled, and after experiencing such a game... the mood of the Manchester United fans was very complicated, but they were very clear that the performance of the Arsenal players today had convinced them! They admired such opponents, admired Ferguson's old rival Wenger... and also missed the love-hate relationship between the two teams over the past decade! "Clap clap clap!"
Off the field, Wenger and Maël, the mentor and disciple, embraced joyfully, and then together raised their hands to salute the Arsenal Expeditionary Force and the Old Trafford home fans in the stadium.
After completing these actions, they hopped towards the player tunnel to the locker room for a new round of celebration.
"Maël!"
Before he had gone far, Maël heard a crisp shout, and he saw Gilbert, draped in a bath towel, standing there waiting for him at the entrance of the locker room.
Since this passage outside the locker room had no lights, he could only see the outline of Gilbert's body, not the other's face.
But he was very clear that at this moment, Gilbert's face must be smiling, a very bright smile! "We... still won." Maël expressed his emotions very simply, excitedly stepping forward to embrace his friend.
"Yes, we will always win." Gilbert hugged Maël tightly, his body trembling slightly.
...
In the press conference room next door, Wenger sat on the stage, facing the reporters' interviews.
"What kind of game was this? Are you satisfied with this result?"
"I am satisfied with the result."
Wenger hesitated for a moment and then said, "But this was an ugly game. The referee's decisions were puzzling. The Premier League referee team has undergone layers of assessment. I don't think their level is like this."
"What do you mean?"
"It doesn't mean anything, just hoping that in future games, we won't encounter referees of this level."
"..."
"Maël once again put on an amazing performance. Recently, people have often linked him with the Ballon d'Or. Do you think he has a chance of winning the Ballon d'Or?"
Wenger smiled lightly, not stingy with his praise, "Why not? 34 goals created in 14 rounds, such a performance can win the Ballon d'Or in any year.
"Combined with his age, his potential and growth rate, I even think a separate award should be set up for him."
Seeming to feel that he was being too arrogant, Wenger quickly added, "Of course, this is just a joke, let him win the Ballon d'Or first before talking about setting up other awards, haha!"
His personality was like this, sometimes some words that he said subconsciously were a bit too much, and he would take the initiative to make up for it.
"Arsenal has never had a Ballon d'Or Winner in its history. Once Maël wins the award, what will it mean for the club?"
"This is a difficult question to answer. Are you trying to say what his award will bring to the club? Oh, it must be a lot, but I can't say exactly how much.
"In fact, he has already brought a lot to the club. Without him, there would be no Arsenal as it is today."
"Alright, the press conference is over."
Wenger strode out of the press conference room, and before heading to the locker room, he glanced at the elevator that went straight to the VIP box.
The battle on the field was over, and the battle off the field was about to begin. Thus, November drew to a close, with Arsenal continuing their triumphant advance towards their short- to medium-term goals!
"Three to one! Arsenal, playing with one less player, defeats Manchester United! Extending their unbeaten streak to 52 games!" - Football Record
"Repeated controversial calls! In the match between Manchester United and Arsenal, referee Daniel's decisions sparked dissatisfaction among Arsenal fans. It is said that Wenger will file a lawsuit with the Premier League Referee Association after the game!" - Daily Mail
"Anyone with eyes can see what Arsenal has encountered. The Premier League doesn't want a dominant team here; it wants the suspense of the annual championship to continue!" - Henry's social media
"I believe that hindering the emergence of a dominant team is a sign of a lack of confidence. If the Premier League believes it can continue to maintain huge broadcasting revenues and bring huge broadcasting dividends to each team, they wouldn't be afraid of this.
"Because as long as the mid- and lower-tier teams get more money and invest more each year, their gap with the upper tier will become smaller and smaller. This is the essence of whether a league is good to watch or not. It's not just about the title race being exciting; if a league's overall level is high, the suspense of the top four, top six, and relegation battles will also be great, and it will also be very exciting and attract attention." - Emilia's social media
"Ugly game! Arsenal encountered injustice! We need an explanation from the Premier League Referee Association!" - The most liked comment under all related reports
"Richard Scudamore watched the game live! He smiled after seeing Arsenal win. It is said that he is also looking forward to the day when Arsenal reaches 58 unbeaten games!" - London Evening Standard with a picture of Richard Scudamore's stiff smile
"First: Arsenal, 38 points; Second: Chelsea, 35 points; Third: Manchester City, 31 points; Fourth: Manchester United, 30 points." - The Premier League Round 14 standings.
On the night of the game, most of the fans who watched the Manchester United vs. Arsenal match flooded into various social media platforms to express their views on the game.
"Arsenal and Maël are breathtaking! They have an absolute advantage in the match against Manchester United! The gap between the two teams has never been so big in the past ten years! Scoring a goal with one less player, I think that says something. Ten-man Arsenal beat Manchester United at Old Trafford, which is a miracle!"
Praise for Arsenal dominated most social media headlines, but gradually, as people dug deeper into the game, some of the referee's controversial calls were magnified in slow motion.
"I don't want to talk about these ambiguous fifty-fifty balls, but some are clearly biased.
"Look at Gilbert's second yellow card, it's ridiculous. Even if you're too embarrassed to give a penalty, you wouldn't call a dive, right? You're going to any lengths to make Arsenal lose, aren't you?"
"It's just blatant bias! The referee's biased calls in this game were too obvious! If it weren't for Maël and Van Persie playing well, Arsenal would have fallen at Old Trafford again!"
"About seven or eight times, the referee made the wrong call. If Gilbert hadn't been sent off and Manchester United hadn't gotten that wrongly awarded corner kick, the score difference between the two teams might have been 4-5 goals."
"No need to rehash the score difference, that's meaningless. It's good that Arsenal won. But as a Manchester United fan, I also want to express that the referee's decisions were indeed difficult to accept."
"Yes, a Manchester United fan here, I agree with the comment above. I will not tolerate events that may affect Manchester United's past glory."
"Did the referee take money? Or does the Premier League want to balance things out? It's a bit too much, right?"
"Emilia and Henry, and the pro-Arsenal commentator during the game, have hinted very clearly that the Premier League clearly wants to take down Arsenal's dominant position!"
Amidst the fans' discussions, the names of the referee of this game, Daniel, and the Premier League CEO, Richard Scudamore, were also hyped up, constantly appearing on the headlines of major social media platforms.
Many angry fans even cut out some scenes of the two in this game and made them into memes to circulate online.
"Be careful, your unbeaten streak is gone." - A picture of Daniel pointing at Maël with a smile.
"I said the Premier League doesn't allow dominant teams to appear, the suspense here will always be maintained until the end." - A picture of Richard Scudamore spreading his hands and smiling at the people next to him.
"£20,000!" - Daniel holding up a red card, but the red card was photoshopped into a pound sterling sign.
The public opinion intensified, so that in the end, the Premier League Referee Association and the Premier League had to come forward to clarify, but their official statements were obviously difficult to quell the anger of the fans.
Under duress, at 10 o'clock that night, Premier League CEO Richard Scudamore posted a social media message.
"Daniel has been suspended for investigation to ensure that similar situations will not occur in the Premier League in the future. We want to pursue a fair, just, and green game environment. Also, congratulations to Arsenal for getting closer to 58 unbeaten games!" - Richard Scudamore's social media
30 minutes later, the Premier League Referee Association released a message - "Due to serious dereliction of duty, low professional standards, and poor psychological quality and resilience, Daniel has been dismissed from his position as a Premier League referee and will not be allowed to resume his position within 3 years."
After these two messages were released, even though there were still some voices driving the public opinion to point the finger at Richard Scudamore.
However, as time gradually passed, people gradually accepted the Premier League's handling of this matter. Anyway, Arsenal won, so there was no need to get to the bottom of it.
Thus far, this incident has temporarily concluded, and Arsenal has also focused its attention on the matches ahead.
