"Horizontal knife immediately, only I am General Fan."
In the final round of the 18/19 Eredivisie season, Fayenoord against The Hague, Dutch striker Van Persie completed his career farewell battle, and a generation of legends came to an end.
The Netherlands, a country where tulips bloom. Embellished with floral scents, the country is always without a breath of art. Van Persie was born into an art family, and under the influence of her parents, Van Persie dealt with art at a very young age, which greatly influenced Van Persie's style of playing. However, the artist was always rebellious, and Van Persie experienced the divorce of his parents at a very young age, which led to his unruly personality in the future. His rebellion made his early career unsmooth, and in his final season in Feyenoord he sat on the iron bench over a conflict with manager Van Marwijk. Just when people thought the genius was going to fall, the discerning Wenger took him from Rotterdam to North London for just £2.75 million, a childhood dream.
"He will be the successor to Bergkamp."
Seen as Bergkamp's successor from day van Persie arrived at Arsenal, Wenger pushed him from the left winger he knew best to the shadow striker position, hoping he would be able to strike a fatal blow quickly forward when the team needed it, as his Dutch predecessors did. It's all so natural, they're both Dutch, they both have feet that can play the violin, they both play artistic football. It's just that Van Persie doesn't seem to fit in the position as perfectly as his Dutch predecessors.
It's not that he's behaving badly, it's just that he still has unlimited potential that hasn't been tapped. Every artist has his own style, and Van Persie also has the most suitable position on the pitch, what exactly is this position? After Adebayor left the team, he found the answer – the center. He reached the front of the team and faced the opposing defender alone to attack the team.
After the transformation, Van Persie began to kill in all directions, his ghostly running position, exquisite technique and flawless goal kicks helped the team to win again and again. In the 10/11 season, the number behind Van Persie's shirt became no. 10, which was Bergkamp's number, and although Van Persie was plagued by injuries that season, he still scored 18 goals in the Premier League, and he did it in just 25 games.
Without a doubt, he was one of the best centers of his time.
In the summer of 2011, Fabregas and Nasri left the team, and Van Persie took over the heavy captain's armband while also carrying the team's offensive banner. Van Persie spent an injury-free season in which the Dutchman scored a total of 37 goals, including 30 league goals to earn the Premier League's top scorer.
But even such an anti-heavenly individual performance has not helped the team win the championship in any competition. At the end of the season, for the sake of honor, he chose to leave Manchester and join his sworn enemy Manchester United.
On Adebayor's departure, Van Persie expressed strong condemnation of the former team-mate's actions. As a sign of personal loyalty to the team, he said: "If there is one person in this world who is loyal to Arsenal, it is me. After moving to Manchester United, he added: "The reason I left Arsenal was not because of money, but because I had a heart to win, the ambition to win. ”
The reunion was always accompanied by a hint of embarrassment, and when Van Persie returned to the Emirates Stadium again, he suffered a flood of boos. After he scored, the boos came to a climax, and even though he chose not to celebrate, the anger of the fans remained unabated. They cursed the player in front of them in the most vicious language, the player who had said he would give everything for the team.
But, this season, this man who is full of age has really fulfilled his dream. Wearing the number 20 shirt, he helped United win the 20th league title in the team's history with 24 goals, which was also his first top-flight title.
A year later, Van Persie once again broke the Arsenal goal at Old Trafford, this time with a roar after scoring, with his hands raised to the sidelines, and then a long slide on the turf. The celebration clearly ignited the whole of Old Trafford, with the home fans celebrating because they had dealt a heavy blow to their mortal enemies and the visiting fans scolding because the traitor in front of him had once again reneged on his word – "I will not choose to celebrate after breaking the Arsenal goal." ”
Three years later, Van Persie, who transferred to Fenerbahce, was reunited with his old club in the Europa League, only this time by Manchester United. At Old Trafford, he was greeted by applause from the fans, which was quite different from his previous circumstances when he returned to the Emirates Stadium. Famed at Arsenal and fulfilled his dream at Manchester United, his relationship with these two teams may never be clear.
In a trance, we always seem to remember the shot, which features a flying Dutchman with eyes fixed on the football overhead. This was The most classic moment of Van Persie's national team, in the match against Spain, Van Persie broke through the door guarded by Cassie with a wonderful fish jump. From this goal, the Netherlands blew the horn of counterattack, and finally the Orange Army defeated Spain 5-1 in a hearty game to complete the revenge of the World Cup final in South Africa. That World Cup was the last glory of the Dutch golden generation, and Van Persie's national team goal count was forever fixed at 50.
35-year-old Van Persie returned from Turkey to the place where his dream began, Fayenoord. This is the beginning of his career and the end of his career. Running away for half a lifetime, he is no longer a teenager when he returns. Van Persie, who had returned to Feyenoord, had already produced a gorgeous hair, and his face, which was originally green, was wrinkled at some point. He eventually lost to time, but years later, when people mention him, they will think of the classic scenes he left behind, his volleys, his fish leaping to the top, his slippery knees celebrating... These things that are beyond time will remain in the depths of our memories forever.
