Chapter 262: Storm of Public Opinion
The storm about this game did not stop, but intensified.
Arsenal, who suffered a heavy defeat, suddenly became the target of ridicule from other Premier League teams.
The Manchester Evening News said Arsenal was a "humiliating failure".
The Manchester Evening News quipped that it took Arsenal just one game to wipe out the club's century-old glory.
The newspaper mocked Arsenal for losing and losing, and two of their players were both sent off for making a move on the pitch, which is simply a scandal that has never been seen in the history of the Champions League. Had it not been for Leon's Inter Milan slowing down the pace of the game in the final moments, Arsenal could have conceded double-digit goals.
The newspaper also suggested that Arsene Wenger should resign decisively to thank Arsenal fans.
The Manchester Evening News is a partner of Manchester United, and Arsenal's fiasco was a no-brainer, and it is worth mentioning that Manchester United beat Serie A side Roma 2-0 in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, which is why the newspaper has the confidence to ridicule Arsenal.
The London Express, a Chelsea fan camp with Arsenal's bitter rivals, said with regret: "If the Inter players had worked a little harder, maybe we would have been able to see the score of a table tennis match...... Of course, the second leg of the match, perhaps, ......"
***********
"Birmingham Sports Newspaper" even reported the game with the headline "Shame".
“…… If someone said before the game that Arsenal would be beaten by Inter Milan at the Emirates Stadium, no one would believe it, after all, they had just eliminated the defending champion AC Milan, which seems to be where Mr. Wenger's confidence lies! However, this game started with a rout that we did not imagine and ended with a fiasco! The Arsenal team that made AC Milan very uncomfortable was stabbed seven times in a row by Inter Milan, and it was so dead! There was no strength to resist at all! Such a fiasco, such a process, I can only think of ' Shame on you!"
"It was a bloody night, Arsenal were pressed to the ground by Inter Milan as if there was no resistance from start to finish, and in the end Inter Milan got tired of it, they didn't continue, they were tired of it, tsk ......" – a well-known English football journalist quipped in his column, a gentleman who is a Chelsea fan.
Arsenal's 7-0 defeat to Inter Milan caused a lot of repercussions.
Even British Prime Minister Gordon Brown was asked at a press briefing what he thought of Arsenal's humiliating defeat, much to the embarrassment of the Prime Minister, who is well known as an Arsenal fan.
"It was a painful and unbearable game for Arsenal fans. Brown could only say with a wry smile.
And this matter even made the Associated Press and Reuters political section news flashes.
It's definitely the most painful time for Arsenal fans.
For a time, in the media. Laughing at them, gloating, falling into the ground, flooding print media and online media, Arsenal fans are overwhelmed.
***********
The British side is extremely ridiculed and criticized for Arsenal.
On the Italian side, Inter Milan is wandering in praise, the whole Italy is praising them, after the Roma team lost to the Premier League giants Manchester United again without any accidents, Inter Milan used such a massacre, the whole Italy was excited.
Even the newspaper Torino Sport, which has always been at odds with Inter Milan and Leon, jumped out and said: This is a victory for Italian football!
Roma Sport also hailed that it was a game to remember in Italian football.
The subsequent impact of this incident, even in the subsequent 32nd round of Serie A, Inter Milan away and Inter Milan's pre-match press conference, media reporters also asked questions around the match with Arsenal.
"Lee, because of this game, Arsenal fans petitioned on the club's official website asking the team to purge Gallas and Klich, what do you think about this?" the reporter asked Leang.
'You should ask Mr Arsene Wenger, he's the manager of Arsenal. Leon said.
"What do you think of Arsenal fans calling for Arsene Wenger to resign?" another reporter immediately asked.
'A defeat in one game doesn't say anything, Wenger is a great coach. Li Ang said.
Some reporters looked surprised that Leon would speak for Arsene Wenger.
Some reporters who deal with Li Ang more are showing a playful smile, they know this Chinese too well, he is not speaking for Wenger, Wenger is great, Mr. Li Ang who abused Wenger fiercely?!
***********
Journalists continued to ask questions, all about the game against Arsenal.
Leon waved his hand, "This is the press conference for the match against Atalanta, that's the point, don't you see that Mr. Delneri is very dissatisfied?"
Atalanta head coach Del Neri, who had been sitting firmly in his seat and 'doing nothing', did not expect Leon to turn the conversation to him.
Del Neri smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, Inter Milan has won glory for Italian football, and I'm very happy." ”
These words won a round of applause from the reporters at the scene.
In the applause, Delneri had a smile on his face, but he scolded MMP in his heart, and he was also helpless.
In the final Serie A match with Atalanta, Inter Milan defeated Atalanta 2-0 away with appropriate rotation, continuing to remain unbeaten in the season, and with 31 wins and one draw, they continued to create their best season in Serie A history.
***********
After playing in the league against Atalanta, the players of Leon and Inter Milan found that the topic of Arsenal immediately became hot again.
That's because the second leg of the quarter-finals of the 2007/2008 UEFA Champions League season is coming in three days.
This time, they will take on Arsenal at home to the Meazza Stadium.
With a seven-0 lead away from home in the first leg, Inter Milan's promotion was almost unsuspenseful.
The Italian media is concerned about whether Leon will rotate in this game when he has a 7-0 lead in the first leg? Will Inter Milan continue to win this game? If he wins, how many goals can he win? Will the total score of the two legs achieve the score of 'table tennis'?
In this regard, Li Ang did not respond at all, and his troop arrangement and plan did not need to be explained and explained by the media at all.
On the England side, the most concerned is this away game against Meazza, can Arsenal save face, or is it another fiasco to meet Arsenal?!
Prior to the departure to Milan, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was blocked by reporters at Heathrow Airport. Previously, the whole Arsenal team implemented news silence, refusing all media interviews, and Wenger has not spoken out.
