Chapter 64: Your Prize Is So High?
"Hey, your name is Frank, right? Does your Notts County club really offer you that much money? When the players on both sides were warming up on the field, Henry suddenly came over to find his fellow Frenchman Ribery and asked very familiarly.
For Ribery, the superstar Henry is definitely his senior, and this senior actually came to talk to him with a smile and an eager look, which is really a bit ruined.
"Yes, our bonus is very high, but it is based on the salary base of the individual, my salary is not high, so nothing, if you can really get the bonus, Harvey is really high!" Ribery said proudly, even if the other party is a senior, how can he not fall into the prestige of Notts County.
Henry kept talking, although he was Arsenal's main center, but when he didn't get the league golden boot, he didn't have too many qualifications to negotiate with the club, Campbell's high salary really made the powerful faction in the Arsenal team a little hot, so that's it, the small characters in Notts County can actually get a higher salary than themselves, what kind of world is this!
"What did you go tell them?" When Henry returned to the team, several teammates gathered around and asked, they had already guessed that Henry was going to ask about the prize money that the opponent had been making a lot of noise recently.
Henry sighed and said enviously: "I went to ask them if Notts County really offered such a high bonus, and they said yes, it seems that Notts County is really going to pay for it, alas, when will I get such a high salary?" ”
Several Arsenal players looked at each other, led by Vieira, and several people who had long been dissatisfied with the club's unfair wage system had extremely disappointed expressions and chills.
It was because of the Notts County bonus incident that their agent once again asked the club to give them a salary increase, but the club replied that the Notts County bonus was simply nonsense, and no one would give such an unnatural bonus.
But now that it has been proven to be true, what excuse will the club use to prevaricate them in such a situation?
Shaking his head in unison, since he has reached this point, there is no point in thinking about this problem on the field, as long as he wins the opponent, the opponent's bonus plan will be in vain, which is a typical harm to others and self, but at least he can make himself feel better and balanced.
The referee blew the whistle, and the much-watched League Cup quarterfinals kicked off.
In a rare relinquishment of possession of the ball from the start of the game, not even against Premier League sides such as Middlesbrough and Blackburn, but today's opponent is Arsenal, and it is normal for Notts County to keep their profile down.
But that doesn't mean Notts County are just putting a bus in front of the goal, and now they're playing aggressively, offbeat aggressively.
In the real sense, it is the four midfielders who stand at the back of the center circle and do not let the Arsenal football pass through this line from the ground, which is called a real meat grinder.
Kuyt and Ribery, on the other hand, lurched in front of the centre circle to harass opponents for the ball, responding to Arsenal's attacks with an extreme defence.
After a few minutes, Arsenal felt extremely awkward, unable to play their usual hearty attack, the ball was difficult to pass through the Notts County back line in the usual way, and they couldn't play the wide attack they relied on for a living, and whenever they wanted to make a fuss on the wing, they faced at least two defenders and a player who could be ready to make a difference.
Most importantly, Vieira, the core of Arsenal's midfield, was severely limited today, and Mereles, the athletic Notts County midfielder, was dedicated to marking and Harassing Kuyt, so Vieira really didn't have much room to play and couldn't organise a decent attack.
Arsene Wenger could no longer sit in the dugout and watch the game calmly, because he could see that Notts County had done a good job of containing Arsenal's attack, or rather, using extreme defensive methods to counter Arsenal's attack, and it was very successful.
While the consequence of this may be to give up their attack, isn't it enough for a League Two team to be able to defend against Arsenal's attack?
The key question is that if this extreme style of play is adopted by Premier League teams, it may not be as simple as limiting Arsenal with a better staffing than Notts County.
If Arsene Wenger is a qualified manager, I am afraid that no one will object at this time, because after the Frenchman became the Gunners manager, he set the tone of Arsenal's gorgeous attacking football in one fell swoop, and successfully built Arsenal into a championship favorite team.
But a qualified manager has to be separated, and Arsene Wenger's technical and tactical coaching ability is good, as evidenced by Arsenal's style of play; Arsene Wenger is also one of the best in the world when it comes to developing young players, and the number of talented players that will emerge from the Arsenal squad in the coming years is also the result of Wenger's work.
But when it comes to the lack of on-the-spot command ability, it is what Wenger has always been criticized, and even accompanied him throughout his coaching career.
And this game seems to prove it.
Arsenal's attack is not fruitful, not even flowering, it is not even a flower, it cannot threaten the Notts County goal at all, although there is no danger of conceding a goal, but it is not a problem to always be so deadlocked!
Should the Gunners go to a penalty shootout against a League Two team?
What could be more embarrassing?
Ten minutes later, the Notts County players were no longer as nervous as they had at the beginning of the game, because they found that their tactics were good at restraining Arsenal's attack, and the defense was safe, so it seemed that Arsenal was not so scary!
Although they did not attack for the time being, Loew had arranged their back-up early, and they just had to complete the set tasks step by step, and this kind of football made it very easy for them to play.
Loew stood on the sidelines of the pitch with his hands folded, in stark contrast to Wenger, who was shouting not far away, and many people couldn't help but think that the title of Rushuai seemed to be more suitable for Loew, a young manager.
Seeing that the team could defend against Arsenal's attack, the Notts County fans in the stands were more excited than at the beginning, and under the leadership of the senior fans in front of the stands, they shouted slogans to cheer for the team.
