Chapter 456: Wenger's wishful thinking
Van Persie is not a nice gentleman, he is a notoriously stabbing player, and his skills are as famous as his temper.
Van Persie was born in the Netherlands in 1983 to artists to parents who were artists, but his parents divorced shortly after Van Persie was born, which had a huge impact on his psyche and even his entire life. At just five years old, Van Persie chose to live with his father because it would allow him to play better. At that age, his footballing talent was already on full display. At the age of four, he joined Elite Rotterdam, a team from his hometown. Although the club requires players to be at least five years old when they join the squad, they are reluctant to lose Robin van Persie by waiting.
At the age of 13, Van Persie arrived at Feyenoord, but Van Persie never forgot about Elite Rotterdam, the place of his dreams. The East Stand at the Rotterdam Elite Stadium is still named after Van Persie, who has never forgotten his parent club, and has donated money to the Elite Youth Exhibition Foundation on several occasions, and he sometimes sends the Elite Team Player of the Month trophy to the Elite team.
Both Ferguson and Arsene Wenger praised Van Persie's footballing talent, but not all of his footballing skills were innate, and many of his footballing skills came from playing in the streets every day as a young man. As a child, he spent hours on the streets with his playmates every day, which he still thinks had a lot of impact on his career. "From waking up in the morning to playing and sleeping, I play with my mates, and my love for football is more than my love for girls. Then I now enjoy playing football in the streets. After becoming famous, Van Persie recalled his youth like this.
However, Van Persie's time at Feyenoord has not been without its challenges, and he has been punished on several occasions for ignoring team discipline. Alex Ferguson recently revealed that United scouts had actually spotted Robin van Persie, but United turned him away because of his poor sense of discipline. 'At the time, Van Persie was only 16 or 17 years old and our scouts thought he had a talent for football, but at the same time felt like he was very immature. At the age of 16, we were immature, but we gave up and he went to Arsenal. Ferguson said.
Despite winning the Dutch Junior Cup twice and being named Feyenoord's most improved player in the squad in 2oo2, Van Persie's football career has not started well. On 3 February 2oo2, Robin van Persie made his debut at Feyenoord, a season in which Feyenoord won the UEFA Cup. In the semi-finals, Robin van Persie put in an excellent performance to help the team qualify for the final. In the final, Van Persie came on, and Feyenoord beat their opponents 32 to win the cup. Since then, Van Persie's football talent has begun to attract the attention of the world, perhaps because he became famous too early, Van Persie then became too arrogant, clashed with manager Van Marwijk on several occasions, and had conflicts with many veterans in the team. In the game, he even pushed away the team's number one free kick master because he wanted to compete for the right to take a free kick.
In August of that year, his conflict with manager Van Marwijk escalated, and Van Marwijk could not stand Van Persie's lazy approach to training. Before the European Cup match against Real Madrid, Van Marwijk sent home Robin van Persie, who had already travelled with the team to Monaco. Van Persie lost his place in the team and spent months on the bench before eventually regaining his place in the main line-up. A few months of cold bench punishment made Van Persie cherish the opportunity to play, and his performance improved greatly. But his conflict with manager Van Marwijk is irreconcilable, and Van Persie understands that his place in the team cannot be guaranteed. In addition, because of the high salary, Feyenoord and Van Persie's contract renewal negotiations have also reached an impasse several times. In the winter of 2oo3, there were rumours that Robin van Persie was joining PSV Eindhoven, coached by Guus Hiddink. In order to avoid a situation of running out of people and money, Feyenoord finally completed the contract extension with Van Persie.
A few months later, in April 2oo4, Feyenoord reserves and Ajax reserves played a match at Ajax's training grounds. After the game, Van Persie and several of his teammates were attacked by local football hooligans in Ajax. Van Persie knew he had to leave, and in the end, Arsenal paid £2.75 million for the talent. "This is the club of my dreams. Van Persie said this about what it was like to join Arsenal at the time: "There I can play alongside Thierry Henry, the best striker in the world. ”
At that time, Arsenal were almost invincible in England and had just won the 2oo4 year of the English Championship with an unbeaten season. In the forward position, Arsenal are full of talent, with Thierry Henry, Pire, and Wiltord all ahead of Van Persie. In addition, Dutch superstar Bergkamp has just signed a contract extension and is one of Van Persie's main rivals. Van Persie's season at Arsenal has been spent mostly on the bench. He helped the team win the Community Shield and FA Cup.
In the 2oo5o6 season, Van Persie was in good form, winning the Player of the Month of November and signing a contract extension with Arsenal until 2o11. But that season, Van Persie suffered a serious injury for the first time at Arsenal. He was a substitute in the Champions League final in May 2oo6, and Arsenal eventually lost to Barcelona. In the time that followed, Van Persie was injured several times, like a glass man. 'Most of those injuries were caused by collisions, which was hard to avoid and I felt like I was so unlucky. Van Persie has since said of his back-to-back injuries. Van Persie's worst injury during his time at Arsenal came in November 2oo9, when he suffered a tackle on the Dutch game against Italy and spent five months resting.
Van Persie's success is inseparable from the support of his family, and his wife Bucella always stands behind him and silently supports him. In 2oo5, Van Persie was charged with rape and detained for 15 days. A 25-year-old woman said she was violently raped by Van Persie in a hotel room, but then the woman chose to drop the charge, saying that she did have sex with Van Persie, but the two parties were consensual. Bucella seemed calm about the matter, and she did not blame Van Persie too much.
After this incident, Van Persie seemed to have matured and since then has gradually become a core at Arsenal, scoring goals and growing into one of the top goalscorers in football.
Thierry Henry's departure has cemented Van Persie as the team's number one striker, and he has been competitive and was named Arsenal's Player of the Year in O8O9. In 2oo9, he was offered a new four-year contract, which expires in 2o13, and his weekly salary reached £80,000.
Before the game, Van Persie even promised his teammates early that if he could score in this game, he would invite his teammates to a French dinner after the game.
The Dutch have put in a lot of money.
Yang Fan naturally didn't know Van Persie's resentment, he glanced at Gallas, and squeezed his eyes at Gallas, the enemy, who immediately looked at him angrily. At the beginning of Manchester United's big win over Arsenal, Gallas was abused by Yang Fan, and later it was rumored that Gallas captain's armband was taken down and this game was not unrelated.
Yang Fan cracked his mouth and smiled.
He knew that Gallas wouldn't be as calm when he faced himself when the game started...... That's right, he did it on purpose, deliberately provoking Gallas and causing the opponent to lose his cool, which for a goalscorer means more attacking and scoring opportunities.
The referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, and the sixth round of the 2O1O2O11 English League season began.
Manchester City kick off first.
After the start of the competition, Yang Fan seemed to be very active.
Once the team's offense advanced to the frontcourt, Yang Fan kept raising his hand, and he was shouting to his teammates: "Pass me the ball!"
The game had just begun, and he was already in the groove.
For this game, he has been waiting for a week, and Yang Fan has also been preparing for this game for a week!
He couldn't wait!
Arsene Wenger stood on the sidelines, knowing that the opponent Manchester City would definitely attack fiercely at the beginning of the game, after all, it was their home stadium. It's them kicking off again, and the opponent will definitely take advantage of the kick-off opportunity to make an offensive. Because it's one of the few times they can keep the ball......
For his team, Wenger is still very confident, he believes that Arsenal will definitely be able to control the game, as long as the team withstands the opponent's offensive in the opening ten minutes and brings the rhythm of the game into the rhythm of Arsenal, then this game will definitely be won.
Arsene Wenger admits that Manchester City is strong now, but, in Wenger's view, Manchester City has a lot of new signings this summer, the team is still in the run-in period, and their tacit understanding is not as good as Arsenal's, this is Arsenal's chance.
So the strategy he made for the players was that if Arsenal kicked off first, the players could start to try to attack as soon as they started, depending on the situation on the field, but if Manchester City kicked off first, Manchester City would definitely attack as soon as they started, and this attack must be very fierce.
Wenger, as the first person to show Yang Fan's talent, can even be said to be one of the coaches who know Yang Fan the most in football at the moment, not to mention anything else, he is definitely better than Manchester City manager Robert. Mancini knows Yang Fan.
It is precisely because he understands Yang Fan that Wenger knows Yang Fan's strength very well.
Therefore, he let the team avoid the edge for a while, and the opponent's home field was on the defensive for the first ten minutes of the game, which must have been a strong momentum. Get through it, that's Arsenal's world!
