Chapter Ninety-Nine: Actively Preparing for War
Chelsea's FA Cup exit was both unexpected and reasonable.
Arsenal are unbeaten in the league this season and have a huge psychological advantage against Premier League teams.
"Dennis played really well today!" Speaking at the post-match press conference, the professor said, "He's sharp, quick-witted, and he's got a lot of good balls from outside the box. ”
"I was even more surprised by Reyes' performance! I was expecting him to do well, but I didn't expect him to be so impressive. ”
'Doing something special when people don't expect it is the hallmark of a talented player.
'His first goal was a consolation for him and you can see a very different player from what he had done before.
'I preferred his second goal, though,' Wenger said, 'because it was the result of our team as a whole, with Patrick Vieira having a brilliant ball and Reyes scoring a great goal. ”
"And this kid is only 20 years old, he just came from Seville, he doesn't even speak English!"
"But do you see that? His diligence is astonishing! In this game, he ran and sprinted more than 40 times, and almost every time he kicked the ball in the front court, he would sprint to participate in the attack. ”
'I'm very happy with my players, especially when they're 1-0 down and you can still see the desire to win in their eyes.
'I hope in the next league game against Chelsea they can still play like that!'
The professor did not hesitate to praise Reyes, and this is understandable.
As for the skirmish with Tang Wu after the goal, in his opinion, it was nothing more than a normal "exchange" between the two young men.
"Young people need passion, they need competition! Perhaps for a young player who has just logged into the Premier League, it will be a good proof that he can break through the door guarded by players of about the same age after coming to the Premier League! I think Reyes will get better and better in the Premier League from now on. ”
Professors are like this, often confiding in the media something that is not very responsible, but has a strong personal bias.
Whether it was Ferguson or Houllier, these old opponents were not less criticized by the professor.
Now in the mouth of the professor, Tang Wu has become a small "boss" in the initial stage of "stationing" the Premier League, and the brave who has just embarked on the journey can only get the medal to go to the next level if he defeats him.
Comparing Everton's Wayne Rooney and Manchester United's Little Ronaldo, Reyes' "debut" against Tang Wu is really amazing.
For a while, there was such a rumor in the city of London: only rookies who break through the TO goal are qualified to become the top strikers!
......
The defeat in the FA Cup had little impact on the Blues, and even a painless FA Cup title would have been insignificant for the money Abou had invested.
The important thing is that this game is amazing, and that is the most precious!
After the defeat in the competition, Lakli gave everyone a rare day off. He and his assistants and others are going to study this game carefully, and how to stop this wild horse in the Premier League in a few days.
'Boss, we've never won against Arsenal in the last 15 meetings. Richards flipped through the data, embarrassment written all over his face.
Fifteen times, Lateri's record in four years at Chelsea is also included.
'According to the general law of football, Chelsea can beat Arsenal sooner or later!' A colleague next to Richards said.
"Hehehehehe..."Bob's words caused countless sneers from his colleagues.
"Laughing at what? I think Bob is right. Lapli touched his chin, "Our players are no worse than Arsenal individually!" The most important thing now is not to put the players under this kind of psychological pressure. They're playing a good game, can't you see? ”
"That's right." Richards also stood up in time to hold the manager, "If the referee didn't make a mistake, then the two disallowed goals of Glen Charles and Frank Lampard might have helped us advance to the quarter-finals!" We lost the game, but we weren't that big of a match with the Gunners. ”
Richards' example drew the approval of many colleagues.
Indeed, both goals were ruled offside, much to the disadvantage of the Blues coaching staff.
'We have a lot of good players. Like Dan Mi, Frank, Claude, John, some of Chelsea's mainstays, as long as they are there, we can definitely avenge the FA Cup defeat! Ranjeli concluded.
"If nothing else, the next league game will probably be the last time we play Arsenal this season. If we can win at home in the next game, then Chelsea will be very likely to become unstoppable and the morale boost may take us straight to the finish line! ”
Pulling a morale-boosting remark immediately drew applause from the rest of the office.
On the premise of uniting as one, the coaching staff quickly set the tone.
"I think we should adjust Crowder's form, although his skills are stable, but after half a year, he doesn't seem to be very suitable for the Premier League!" Bob suggested first.
'Yes, we need him to have more tackles in the middle, better ball distribution and tireless movement. But it was as if he wasn't there at all in the last game, does anyone know why he's so tired? He wouldn't spend too much energy on a woman's belly too, would he? ”
"Anyway, Claude must see Dennis's instigation, if he succeeds, he can definitely block a large wave of attacks from the Gunners!" Raksli summed it up.
'And Parker, this kid is new to Chelsea, but I think he should be given a chance to try his hand at the Gunners captain, and it might work wonders!' Richards added.
Makelele vs Bergkamp, Parker vs Vieira. After this arrangement was put in place, the discussion began again about how to stop the Gunners' attack on the left flank.
"Henry is back." It was Bob who spoke first.
The word Henry seemed to exude a strange magic, which made the office instantly silent.
"I think Melchiot will do everything." After a while, he opened his mouth first, "But he can't act rashly, he only needs to be responsible for guarding the backfield, even in the attack, he can't go beyond the midfield!" ”
The colleagues nodded, agreeing with the Italians' opinion.
Thierry Henry is almost a bug for any team in the Premier League, and instead of spending time figuring out how to deal with him, think about how other fronts can gain an advantage.
"And what about our offense?"
"How's Dahnmi doing?" Raksli asked.
"The recovery is good, but it's hard to hold on for 90 minutes." An assistant coach who specializes in managing the current situation of the players said without thinking.
"Then let him storm on the left side for a while!" "If he can't hold on, he can't let go of the attack on Arsenal's left. Richards, is Ashley Cole still recuperating? ”
"That's right, sir! However, Pire's recent form has been good. ”
"That doesn't matter! Clicy here will be a great space for us! If Arsenal dare to press it out, we will give them a hard blow from here! ”
After brainstorming from offense to defense, everyone in the office was so excited that they even wanted to pull out the team to compete with Arsenal immediately.
At this moment, Anovan suddenly said: "Boss, I want Frank to be more defensive, we need a solid midfielder!" ”
Hearing Anovan speak, everyone gathered their eyes.
Although everyone has their own role, Anovan is in charge of the most special part of the Chelsea team.
"What? What is the problem? Isn't his injury healed? Richards asked for the manager.
"No, not this!" Anovan shook his head, "It's not a physical injury, it's mental." ”
"Spiritual?" The team doctor, Felikz, pushed his glasses. "Need my help?"
"Thank you, Mr. Felikz." "This kid has just been a little stressed lately. Everything is pretended to be in his heart alone, and he is not as lively and cheerful as he seems to be. ”
"What do we need to do then?" Hearing this, Rakelli also frowned.
The goalkeeper itself is a profession with great pressure, and if Tang Wu tests the pressure on himself again, then the previous arrangement is likely to become futile because of Tang Wu's escape.
"Hmm... I think I need to give this kid some time. Anovan thought about it, "Maybe I can talk to him tomorrow." ”
