Arsenal won the FA Cup replay in midweek cleanly, but no one thought they would be able to beat Liverpool by three goals in the league at the weekend.

England's homegrown talent Jack Wilshere, who shone in that game, became the subject of a media chase.

There is no doubt about the star-making ability of the English media, their pen can turn decay into magic, and ordinary teenagers are touted as super geniuses, but if they perform better, they will immediately become super geniuses who have not been born for 50 years.

Otherwise, with the spicy chicken results of the England national team, how could there be such a high degree of attention.

If you just look at the news, you still think that the England national team is the super devil who dominates the World Cup, and Germany, Italy, Spain, France and Netherlands combined can't beat it.

But they can only be self-sufficient, the England national team is really a huge hole, those players have no problem with their ability, they are all world-class players, but when they are combined, they can't play a role.

In addition to the incompetence of the coaches, the excessive attention of these Fleet Street media has also seriously affected the attention of the players. Don't think that the reporters who can chase Princess Diana in a speeding car for the sake of news will have a temperate manner, and patriotism cannot be eaten. However, this does not prevent the national team from being criticized after the England national team is out, and the summary is that it is impossible for us not to affect the national team, it is impossible for the national team not to criticize them if they have no good results, and there is nothing impossible for money.

"England's first day as a midfielder after Gascoigne."

"Arsene Wenger's most talented player."

"A Brazilian born in England, a perfect ball feeling."

"The future of the England national team, we are catching up with Germany."

"Wayne Rooney, Wilshere and Joe Hart, the future mainstay of the England national team."

The reporters on Fleet Street didn't care about Wilshere's career development at all, and they didn't want money to tout. Gascoigne, who was mentioned, couldn't look past it and came out and said a few words, "I advise Wilshire not to read the newspaper." I played badly back then, but just because I scored a goal, I made headlines for two weeks in a row. When I started reading the newspapers and became a star, the newspapers kept saying that I was playing badly and it was confusing. Wilshere is a fantastic talent and he strikes me as incredible. I think it's great news for England to have such a star of hope and I hope he can quickly become a mainstay in England's new generation of players. But until then, definitely don't believe the bullshit of the newspapers, he should focus on the pitch. ”

However, the Arsenal supernova has not heeded the advice of his predecessors and the media frenzy of recent days has put him in a bad position, and in an interview with The Times, Wilshere said: "At the weekend, I will work with my team-mates to try to take a win away at Anfield. ”

"So Jack, how sure do you think you are winning?"

'I've heard the saying that the chances of winning or losing are always half and half before football is played, but I think we have a good chance of winning at Anfield.

"How sure is it?"

"Seventy percent."

※※※※

70 percent chance of winning the game, why don't you say 100 percent.

Arsene Wenger's heart was about to stop when he read the newspaper, Anfield is the most feared home stadium in the Premier League, and if you don't count those stadiums where personal safety is not guaranteed, playing there is like a 10 per cent debuff with a drop in strength.

Coupled with Benitez's frenzied decision to let the main team rest for two games in a row, it is estimated that they are as manic as the bulls in estrus.

According to Arsene Wenger's prediction, the best result is to win the draw, and he will be very satisfied if he can get a point, but now Wilshere has said that he can basically win, how can Wenger not be frightened.

The strength is superior, and the pre-game provocation is at best ungraceful, but the strength is at a disadvantage and the provocation is brainless.

You don't have to think about it to know that Benitez, the seemingly loyal and honest Spanish fat man, will definitely use this to encourage Liverpool players, Liverpool's style of play is relatively tough, and with such a thrill, the weekend will inevitably turn into a wrestling arena.

And his team is afraid of this, those children will have no confidence to be kicked at that time, and it is estimated that something very serious will happen, maybe directly a big rout.

After thinking about it for a long time, Wenger decided to play Liverpool with conservative tactics, a league game is just a league, and no matter how important it is, it is only one of the 38 rounds.

......

"Gentlemen, I'm sure you've all seen the newspapers. Arsenal have a 17-year-old who says he wants to win at Anfield at the weekend, and the newspaper says he could catch up with Stone's current achievements when he's 18 years old, and to be honest, I kind of want to laugh. ”

"I want a group of adults to coax a child to play, and talk about him as a genius all day long, and finally he believes it himself. The king's new clothes, I really miss that fairy tale, right? ”

Hearing his words, the Liverpool players burst into laughter.

They are very dismissive of the talent touted by the newspapers, and the midfielder has no matter how talented he is, and this position requires not only talent, but also a lot of experience provided by the game, so it is rare to see a midfielder come out of nowhere, especially if this position is further back than the front midfielder.

As Benitez said, it's clear that the English media is coaxing Wilshere to play.

The most ridiculous thing is that he himself actually believed it.

Those reporters are also bad enough to catch up with Stone? The mature age of the central midfielder itself is later than that of the forward winger, and they don't think Wilshere has that talent, and now give that kid so much confidence that he is not afraid of being kicked stupidly in a game?

The disdain of the players is overflowing, Benitez secretly said badly, he wanted to motivate the team, but these bigwigs obviously don't look down on a young man with enthusiasm, and Wenger came out to say that he must win may also arouse their fighting spirit, but Wilshere ......

Excuse me, but who is Wilshere?

Benitez, who made the mistake, could only bite the bullet and continue, "I know you guys are bored, but as seniors on the pitch, you have an obligation to save a lost lamb and take good care of that kid during the weekend game to let him know that the Premier League is not as simple as he imagined." ”

"Got it......"

"Oh, okay."

Hearing the weak answers of the players, Benitez couldn't help but smile bitterly, the hearts of the people were scattered, and the team was not easy to lead.

......

Sunday, December 13, sunny and rainless.

Anfield Stadium is about to play the 16th round of the Premier League between Liverpool and Arsenal.

The fans got in early, and while they were looking forward to the upcoming showdown, it was clear that they had more important things to do.

The KOPs cooperated with the stadium staff when the players had not yet arrived, decorated the stadium together, banners were pulled up one by one, the north and south stands prepared TIfo respectively, and each seat in the west stand had a copy and matching instructions, and the Liverpool club also made a lot of money.

Before the start of the game, Wu Sanshi entered, and Anfield instantly erupted into a tsunami-like cry.

“stone！”

“stone！”

“stone！!!”

Wu Sanshi's name resounded throughout the stadium, and what shocked him even more was that the stadium was full of banners, and the huge Tifo in the two stands was even more exaggerated.

One of the banners shows Takeshi sitting on a throne and reading, "Stone, the new king of Anfield." ”

The other is the action of his shot, which reads, "The creator of a goal record in 19 consecutive games, a complete genius." ”

The fans in the West Stand have put together a variety of words in a reproduction, which clearly records his statistics in all competitions so far.

Even if Wu Sanshi was determined, he was inevitably touched by the softness of his heart, his eyes were moist, and the words in his mouth fell gently in the wind.

"This ...... What did I do, I only played half a season. ”

"Half a season......"

Football is a bloody sport,

But warmth is the eternal sheng flute.

At this moment, Wu Sanshi really had an urge to die at Anfield.

"It's really touching, I see Stone in tears, and seriously, the Anfield fans are amazing."

"Yes, I suddenly feel that the next game is a little overshadowed and there is no interest."

"Yes, Alain, what do you think of Wilshere, who has been hyped by the media lately, but he is in the starting list today."

"Well," Alain Hanshen muttered before he began, "Jack is a gifted child, but he is not as special as the reporters say, and I don't think he is very clear now, and if he can't get his position right, he will soon be like a meteor across the sky." ”

"You're talking too seriously, but I don't think he's really that special, maybe playing well and staying away from the media is the right choice for him now, I believe Wenger must have a headache for him, I heard that he has been very active on the Internet in recent days."

'Yes, so Ferguson often restricts United players from using the internet, and a lot of people talk on that without going through their heads.

"And the news spread so fast that the club didn't have time to respond, which made the club's public relations department often on the back foot, and it is said that Ferguson was ready to find experts to teach the players what they could and couldn't."

"It's a sensible choice, I'll talk to Liverpool about it too, players talking about sensitive topics will not only affect the image of the club, but also make their commercial value plummet, I'm sure players will be interested in how to protect their income, after all, no one has to live with money."

"Alright, let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides."

Liverpool 433 (4213)

Goalkeeper: Reina,

Defenders: Insua, Ager, Carragher, Glen Johnson,

Midfielders: Lucas, Mascherano, Gerrard,

Forwards: Stone, Suarez, Benayoun.

Arsenal 433 (4123)

Goalkeeper: Almunia

Defenders: Adama Traore, Vermaelen, Gallas, Sagna,

Midfielders: Cesc Fabregas, Alexander Song, Wilshere,

Forwards: Arshavin, Walcott, Nasri.

'Van Persie's long-term injury still has a big impact on Arsenal's attack, he's not just a finisher, he's also a playmaker, and Walcoat obviously can't do that.

'In contrast, Suarez's return is a positive for Liverpool, who are in their prime and Arsene Wenger's side will face a tough test today.
