While Manchester United fans were rushing to Manchester from all over the world, a group of special Manchester United fans came from South America to Carrington training base, who were the Chilean miners who were miraculously rescued two months ago.

In the San Jose mine accident in Chile in August this year, 33 Chilean miners were trapped about 700 meters underground. During their trap, they watched football games underground. Their love for this sport supported them to survive tenaciously for more than two months and were called "great survivors" by media around the world. After they were lifted, newspaper headlines around the world reported the miracle at the first time, and their deeds were also ready to be made into a movie.

After Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton learned of the news, he invited these surviving miners to visit Old Trafford and Carrington bases and watched Manchester United and Arsenal games for free.

With the help of Manchester United's sponsor Ganlu Winery, 27 of the 33 rescued miners finally arrived in Manchester before Manchester United's battle with Arsenal.

Almost all the 27 miners were Manchester United fans, and they were very strong about pilgrimage. They were very excited to see Manchester United’s superstars, and many people laughed and danced, pointing at the players, and talking a lot.

Manchester United CEO David Jill and Ferguson brought the players to welcome these special fans from afar.

After the greetings, Ferguson said to the miners: "I am very happy to invite you to Old Trafford. I also want to thank you for coming here. I will use your spirit to inspire the players to fight as strong as you.

Like everyone else in the world, I saw you on TV, and I thought you were great people. However, at that time I could only watch you from a distance, and now I can meet you in person, and I found that they were stronger and more optimistic than what they saw on TV, and you were amazing people."

The miners only met Ferguson on TV and newspapers. They all thought Ferguson was a arrogant and irritable person. Unexpectedly, Ferguson was so approachable in reality. They were all excited and tried their best to applaud Ferguson.

Representative of the miners, 56-year-old bulldozer driver Regardas expressed his gratitude to Ferguson and Manchester United executives, "It is an honor to appear in Old Trafford. We only saw the Dream Theater on TV before. Now our dreams come true. Thank you Ferguson, thank you Manager David Gill, and thank you Director Bianthetti of Ganlu Winery. You are all kind people. In addition, my compatriots and I wish Manchester United can beat Arsenal in the game and win the 19th league championship because we are all Manchester United fans."

After speaking, the miner fans were extremely excited to find their idol to sign and take a photo. Although Manchester United has South American players such as Anderson and Hernandez, the most popular ones are the three elders in Class 92, Gao Xiaodong and Rooney.

The players also have to conduct pre-match tactical drills. After getting autographs and taking photos with their idols, they went to Old Trafford Stadium under the leadership of David Gill and Bianchetti. As invited fans, Chilean miners will sit in the private room to watch the battle.

The game was held at 7:30 pm, and two hours in advance, tens of thousands of fans arrived around Old Trafford Stadium. By 7 o'clock, Old Trafford, which can accommodate 76,000 fans, was basically full, and most of the rest were VIPs in private rooms.

Martin, a live commentator at Sky Sports, began to warm up the game. He used his rich football knowledge to tell the fans about the history of Arsenal and Manchester United's battle, as well as the 14-year grudges and revenge between Ferguson and Wenger.

Maybe Martin said it was too devoted. Before he could analyze the intention and advantages and disadvantages of the two famous coaches in the world. Manchester United and Arsenal players came out of the locker room.

"Friends, the players on both sides have come out of the locker room, and the game is about to begin. Let's first see if the starting lineup of both sides has changed... Manchester United's starting goalkeeper No. 1 Van der Sar, 4 defenders Evra, Vidic... Arsenal's starting 53-Szesny; defenders: 3-Saña, 18-Squeragic, 6-Koscheerney, 22-Clich; forwards: 19-Wilshire, 17-Song, 4-Fabregas; strikers: 8-Nasri, 10-Van Persie, 23-Arshavin..."

"The starting position of both sides has almost no change. The only change is that Wenger replaced Polish goalkeeper Fabiansky with No. 3 goalkeeper Szesny. Some fans may not be familiar with Arsenal's starting goalkeeper Szesny. This 20-year-old young player is the son of former Polish goalkeeper Machey Szeschsny. He is 1.95 meters tall. He reacts quickly and has a great range of saves. He is more decisive in dealing with single shots and attacks, but he lacks experience and does not perform stably enough. In such a battle, he can only say that Professor Wenger has a big heart. Now let's see if the 20-year-old talented goalkeeper Szesny can win 21-year-old Gao Xiaodong. Manchester United's new core currently averages 1.3 goals per game, and is the most attacking midfielder in the world football world."

At this time, the captains of both sides on the field had completed the ceremony of exchanging team flags and badges and picking sides, and were waiting for the referee Weber to whistle.

The two old captains Ferguson and Wenger on the sidelines were still chatting.

"I hope you don't play as rough as before. Manchester United and Arsenal, as giant teams, should lead the Premier League style, otherwise the tragedy between Valencia and Eduardo will continue."

Wenger took the initiative to put pressure on Ferguson.

Ferguson smiled slightly and said, "Arsena, don't treat bravery as rough. Manchester United is not Vigan Athletics. We are never rough, let alone conservative."

Wenger smiled and said, "Well, Sir Alex, I believe you are a gentleman. I hope that no matter the winner or loser, today will be a wonderful game."

Ferguson smiled and said, "Welcome to my office for a drink after the game."

Ferguson and Wenger returned to their seats, and at this time, with the whistle of referee Weber, the game officially kicked off.

The first kick-off was Manchester United. After Berbatov passed the ball back to Gao Xiaodong, Manchester United's forward line ran forward to suppress the opponent's defense line, while Gao Xiaodong passed the ball back to wait for Arsenal players to come and grab it.

Although Arsenal is away, they are 11 points behind Manchester United. If they want to compete for the league championship, they must win this game against Manchester United. A draw is far from enough for the Gunners.

After the start of the game, Arsenal's tactical intention was very clear, which was to attack. They quickly pressed forward from three lines, pushed the formation to the 30-meter area, and pushed the battleground to the area where Manchester United was located in the middle circle.

After having Gao Xiaodong, Manchester United's midfield technical content and ball control ability have greatly improved. They dare to compete with their opponents in the midfield, and dare to control the ball in the midfield, and did not give up defensive counterattacks and long-pass rushing. Manchester United's offensive methods can be said to be very rich.

Seeing that Arsenal was eager to win, Manchester United's players took the initiative to retreat five meters, allowing the defender to control the ball, ready to play behind the Arsenal defender.

Seeing that Arsenal's three forwards pressing too fiercely and Scholes stayed in the midfield with poor physical strength, the young Gao Xiaodong retreated to his 30-meter area to meet the defender and midfielder Fletcher.

When Raphael saw Gao Xiaodong coming back, he quickly passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong took the ball and turned around. Fabregas, who was pressing over, made a steal and kicked Gao Xiaodong's calf.

Most people probably fell down like this, but Gao Xiaodong was fine. He staggered and turned around and passed it for a long time, looking for Rooney who was running forward.

Originally, Rooney and Gao Xiaodong had a tacit understanding of the passing and running in training. Gao Xiaodong received the ball, and Rooney ran away. However, this time Gao Xiaodong was kicked and staggered for a while. After adjusting the center of gravity, he passed the ball. Rooney was offside.

However, Rooney was eager to score the goal, and the audience shouted loudly. He didn't hear clearly that the referee Weber had already blown the whistle. Although Szesney gave up the save, he still kicked the ball into the net with a volley.

Weber was very unhappy and took out a yellow card to warn Rooney.
