Can only say: there are no eternal enemies and friends, only common interests.

Each is his own master, and each is a strong competitor of the other.

The origin of Ferguson VS Wenger

Before Ferguson had a drink with Wenger after the game, the Manchester United manager took the lead in giving a "gift before the enemy". Ferguson sarcastically said at the time: "He came from Japan and wanted to tell us how to play English football?" "

But at 1998, the relationship between Wenger and Ferguson began to become "sour". This year, Wenger led his Arsenal to win the Premier League title for the first time, and took over the trophy from Manchester United, which had won the championship four times in the previous five seasons. Not only that, Arsenal beat Newcastle with Marc overmars' goal, won the FA Cup and became the double champion. It was the same Marc overmars who scored the winning goal against Manchester United, which decided the ownership of the Premier League title this season.

The championship battle between Manchester United and Arsenal began year after year. As time went by, the feud between the Red Devils and the Gunners deepened. But the two teams have one thing in common: they both think that the arrogance of the other team is disgusting.

Ferguson's flying boots, Manchester United split

In the sixth round of the 2003 FA Cup, Manchester United and Arsenal met at Old Trafford. In the opening 7 minutes, the referee gave three yellow cards to the two teams. The intensity of the game is not difficult to imagine. Jeff Winter, the referee in charge of the game, even made peace with captains roy keane and Vieira. Arsenal scored the first goal with Ai Du's free kick, and then Wiltord went to the next city to beat Manchester United.

This game became the fuse for the dissolution of Manchester United's most brilliant 1992 youth generation. In the dressing room after the game, Beckham and Ferguson had a famous "flying boots". In Beckham's autobiography "My Side", there is a detailed description of this matter.

Beckham is considered to be the first criminal to concede a goal. "I was publicly criticized only because hostility cornered me." Beckham recalled. He became the first target of Ferguson's famous "hair dryer" treatment. The angry Scot kicked a sneaker off the ground and landed on Beckham's forehead. Gary neville, Ryan Giggs and Ruud van Nistelrooy struggled to hold Beckham who rushed to the old man. The next day, Beckham brushed the hair off his forehead in front of the paparazzi, so that his wife and the whole world could see the wound above his eyes.

Ferguson later apologized, but Beckham was sold by Manchester United that summer.

Battle of Old Trafford (June 5-38, 2004+10)

Also known as the "pizza door". 500 million fans around the world watched the fierce game. Arsenal remained unbeaten last season, and in September 2003, an accident happened when the Gunners visited Old Trafford. Ruud van Nistelrooy missed a penalty at the last minute. Angry Arsenal defender Martin Keon laughed at him in front of Ruud van Nistelrooy, while angry Arsenal players insisted on accusing the Dutchman of diving, which led to Vieira's dismissal. Because of Ruud van Nistelrooy's behavior, four Arsenal players were suspended and fined 275,000 pounds. Two Manchester United players were also fined for misconduct.

A year later, when Arsenal came to Old Trafford again, another "food" war broke out.

The score was 2-0, and Manchester United ended Arsenal's unbeaten record of 49 games. However, during the 90-minute competition, there were many problems, such as immoral behavior, malicious foul, diving, penalty, poor referee's law enforcement level and so on, which caused fierce controversy. But a more interesting scene happened in the players' lane after the game, and food became the "weapon" of the two strongest teams in the Premier League at that time.

After the 2006 World Cup, in his autobiography My Defense, ashley cole, an English defender who played for Arsenal, revealed the situation at that time: "This pizza flew over my head and hit Fudge directly. Seeing pizza flowing down his famous dark brown face, through his neck and onto his black suit, everyone couldn't shut up and was shocked. "

It is said that Fabregas, who was still a teenager in the reserve team, threw pizza at Ferguson, but Ferguson did not fly into a rage. He just grunted, wiped his face and rushed into the dressing room, but the fighting did not subside, and the players on both sides threw coffee, peas and potato soup at each other. Arsenal manager paul johnson's nose was stained during the war.

Wenger accused referee mike riley of being the official referee of Manchester United and Red Devils striker Ruud van Nistelrooy of being a "liar".

Because the relationship between the two teams was so tense, when Manchester United visited Highbury Stadium in February 2005, the London police had to come forward in advance and asked the two managers not to make trouble, because the police were worried that their personal grievances would infect the fans and cause riots.

With the rise of Chelsea, Ferguson and Wenger have a common enemy.

When Abramovich's wealth was injected into Chelsea, another new force appeared in London, and both Ferguson and Wenger hoped to "kill" this common enemy. In particular, Mourinho, the new head coach of the Blues who won the triple crown in Porto, is arrogant by nature, and with the addition of stars such as Essien, Wright-Phillips, Ballack, Ashley Cole, Kalou and Mikel, Chelsea has threatened the dominance of Manchester United and Arsenal both on and off the field.

Moreover, the signing of Mikel by Chelsea caused a dispute between the two teams, which eventually led to FIFA. In 2005, Manchester United offered 4 million pounds to buy Mikel in Oslo, Norway. The deal was completed and the news was announced in Manchester United's official website. Mikel himself even attended the press conference and put on the Manchester United jersey to express his happiness.

At the same time, however, Chelsea told Manchester United that the Nigerian midfielder was theirs and had started training in front of Mourinho. After a long dispute, the farce ended with Chelsea paying Manchester United120,000 pounds in compensation. However, this result is enough for Ferguson to turn his finger from Wenger to Mourinho.

As for Arsenal, because ashley cole is privately close to Mourinho's Coleman, Wenger naturally bears a grudge against the Blues manager. It is rumored that Ferguson and Mourinho are still friends and enemies, but the relationship between "professor" and "madman" is much worse. Mourinho once attacked Wenger as "peeping tom", while Wenger retorted that Mourinho was a "visionary divorced from reality".

The appearance of Chelsea has diluted the contradiction between Ferguson and Wenger.
