Chapter 161: One Goal to Fame (Medium)
"Coach Arsene Wenger, I'm a reporter for The Times, what do you think of Lehmann's low-level mistake in the closing stages that ruined the Arsenal team's efforts, and will this mistake have a negative impact on Lehmann's future at Arsenal?" said a reporter at the post-match press conference, posing a question that was of most concern to everyone present. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 After all, Lehmann's mistake in the 82nd minute was so fatal that it not only broke the balance of power that Arsenal struggled to maintain, but also greatly damaged the morale of his own team!
The worst thing is that Lehmann's goal also made Arsenal completely lose the initiative in this game, allowing the Tottenham players to show their most comfortable defensive tactics against Arsenal in the following time, which led to the final defeat.
That's why this reporter asked, because many people believe that Lehmann is likely to lose Wenger's trust and his main position at Arsenal after making such a mistake. You know, Arsene Wenger's Arsenal has always been very harsh on players over the age of 30, not only the contract has become a year extension, but also the treatment will drop significantly. For example, Bergkamp, who has contributed to the revival of the Gunners, is now having a very unhappy relationship with Arsenal over the renewal of his contract.
What's more, Arsenal just brought in Almunia from Celta de Vigo this summer. He was outstanding last season when he was loaned out by Celta Vigo and was one of the heroes behind Albacete's relegation success. Therefore, after this incident, people naturally thought that Almunia would take this opportunity to replace Lehmann and become Arsenal's main goalkeeper?
"No, no, I think the defeat is the responsibility of all of us, and it shouldn't be blamed on one player or a few players. Facing the long gun and short cannon in front of him, Wenger, who was sitting at the other end of the table, although he had a dark face at this time, still patiently answered the reporters' questions, which was in stark contrast to George, who looked happy and refreshed, "Besides, there is no one in this world who never makes mistakes." In my opinion, Jens [Lehmann] was good enough for him in this game. If he hadn't been in front of goal, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to hold out for more than 80 minutes before Tottenham overtook the score!"
"Coach Arsene Wenger, please don't shy away from the important and talk more about what you think about Lehmann and this game!" Obviously, Wenger's answer was not what the reporters wanted to hear. After all, it's hard to unearth enough valuable news with such a group of amiable speeches. Dissatisfaction with the performance of Lehmann or other Arsenal players, or criticism of certain decisions made by the refereeing staff in this game, is what these media want from Wenger.
So, in the time that followed, this post-match press conference turned into a stage for Arsene Wenger to clash with a group of reporters. As the victor, George was left out in the cold by everyone and became an onlooker at the press conference.
It is not surprising that this will happen. As the winning side, apart from a handful of Arsenal supporters, no one would generally be looking for trouble for Tottenham at this time. In this way, Arsenal, who once led by two goals in the game, but was successfully overturned by the opponent in the end, will naturally become the main target of the media!
In this regard, in addition to being happy to see it happen, and at the same time mentally sympathizing with Wenger's plight, George does not have any idea of helping the professor attract firepower - with the nearly 100-year relationship between Tottenham and Arsenal, George is already very interesting if he does not take the opportunity to fall into the well at this time, how can he still help Wenger?
Not to mention, if the end result of this game is a Tottenham defeat, then Arsene Wenger will surely be watching his joke on the sidelines now. Therefore, for such a thing as watching the fire from the other side at the press conference, George can be said to have no psychological burden.
"Tottenham didn't beat Arsenal, it was only us who beat us!" In the end, Wenger, who was forced by reporters to ask him no way out, could only put down such a cruel sentence in a fierce manner, and then got up and left the table, ending this press conference that made him extremely unhappy early!
Arsene Wenger's early departure immediately drew unanimous condemnation from the reporters present. While no one or organisation has ever regulated the length of press conferences, the vast majority of managers will generally wait until the press conference is over before the presenter comes forward to announce the end of the press conference, and it is quite rare for Arsene Wenger to be ungraceful. Moreover, this kind of behavior is easy to be true, especially Wenger still doing this kind of thing in front of the media, which is no different from death - although it is impossible for the media to ask Wenger to make compensation or apologize to them for this, but once they are hated, Wenger will not want to have a good life during this time.
Sure enough, after this press conference, Wenger's image was heavily smeared by these reporters. All kinds of things about the old sesame and rotten grains have been turned over by these people and used as a tool to denounce Wenger. At the same time, Wenger's last sentence at the press conference was also deliberately misinterpreted by them, and was compiled into an article "Wenger is unhappy that Lehmann's low-level mistakes buried the Arsenal championship trophy, and the German goalkeeper's Highbury career is suspected to have entered the countdown", which was published in major sports newspapers and websites in the United Kingdom!
Anyway, Wenger did say that "it was only Arsenal themselves who beat Arsenal", and from another point of view, isn't it the professor alluding to the fact that it was Lehmann, "his own man", who helped Tottenham that made Arsenal regret the defeat in the end?
And after seeing these news, Lehmann was naturally dissatisfied with Wenger. In the eyes of the German, he deserves special treatment for Arsenal for his contribution to Arsenal's league title last season. But now, why is it that not only Arsenal fans blame themselves, but even Wenger has begun to not want to see himself up?
Isn't it just losing a Community Shield title? How can you do this to me, the champion of the championship!
Lyman was never a fuel-efficient lamp. Whether it's at Schalke 04, Borussia Dortmund or now Arsenal, the German goalkeeper's big-mouthed and eyelid personality hasn't changed in any way. Therefore, it is foreseeable that in the next period of time, if Wenger cannot solve the misunderstanding between him and Lehmann, then a break out of infighting within Arsenal must be inevitable.
On the other hand, after beating Arsenal in a comeback to win the first trophy of the new season, Tottenham Hotspur was now immersed in a sea of joy and enjoying the praise of the outside world. Especially Xavi Alonso, with his ultra-long-range hanging goal against Arsenal, the Spaniard has not only been recognized by Tottenham fans, and is no longer repeatedly compared with Carrick, but also became famous and became one of the hottest top midfielders in English football!
