Chapter 167: I Can't Wait
After losing, no one will be happy, even a few animals who are usually very jumping are honest, don't touch Wenger's brows at this time, maybe Wenger won't scold you, but he will beat you into the cold.
However, there was also good news at this time, Ljungberg returned to the training ground, although he still needs to adjust his form, but for Arsenal, who are almost unavailable on the wing, it is definitely a lifesaver.
But for Quaresma, it's a little shivering, Ljungberg is back, doesn't it mean that he is going to be arranged by the stubborn Wenger to play as a striker again?
It's not reluctant, but Quaresma just feels that this transformation is a bit anxious.
Midweek soon approached, the new Champions League season kicked off, and Arsenal also welcomed their first opponent in the group stage, Swiss club Thun.
Speaking of which, Quaresma feels that Arsenal is definitely escorted by UEFA, and the opponents are weaker than the other, although many later strong teams have not yet risen in this era, it is still very common for two strong teams to exist in a group.
Take a look at Arsenal's group stage opponents, Dutch giants Ajax, Swiss dark horse Thun, and Czech giants Sparta Prague.
It seems that they are quite famous, but in terms of strength, they are far from the same level as Arsenal, and maybe Ajax can cause a little trouble for Arsenal.
Anyway, Quaresma didn't think there was anything to be careful about Thun in this game, at least after watching the opponent's squad and a few game footage, he didn't even see a familiar or even just familiar player.
It's just that Quaresma guessed the end, but he didn't guess the process correctly.
The opponent is really fierce!
It's true that Thun's strength is not very good on the table, but Arsenal's problems are also obvious - the time is too short, they have not recovered, just lost to Myburgh in the league three days ago, even if the main players did not play, but they still continue to suffer from the FIFA virus, and the form is a bit off.
At the beginning of the game, Arsenal intended to suppress the opponent in the best way, but as they played, they found that something was wrong, they had more than enough strength, as if they couldn't suppress it.
And the opponent seemed to have beaten the chicken blood, screaming and rushing to the Arsenal position, and actually turned against the guest in a short period of time, beating Arsenal in an embarrassment.
Speaking of which, Switzerland is a very peculiar country, with Germans who don't want to be Germans, French people who don't want to be French, and Italians who don't want to be Italians, and such a complex background means that Swiss football style must also be inclusive.
There is not only the rigor of the German team, but also the tenacious defense of Italy, and the sharp attack of France, but none of them have reached the top, and there is a certain gap with the genuine version.
Thun's style of play is quintessentially Swiss, with everything but a mediocre style.
This style of play now makes Arsenal, which is not in good shape, very passive.
In the 25th minute of the first half, Thun was the first to break through Arsenal's goal, and Arsenal at home was extremely worrying.
If there is another accident in this game, it may not be able to affect Arsenal's final qualification, but this is Arsenal's third consecutive winless game.
After conceding the goal, Arsenal woke up like a dream, and the attack was much more fierce, but until the end of the first half, they still could not recover the score, and the situation was still bad.
Quarese was not particularly active on the right flank in the half, on the one hand, the opponent was very closely marked against him, and on the other hand, he did not have much support from Eboue behind him, and it was inevitable that he would not be able to do it alone.
Frowning as he walked off the field, Quaresma was always wondering how to get out of the predicament in front of him.
I didn't take Thun seriously before the game, but now I am beaten so embarrassed by my opponent that I feel a pain in my face when I think about it.
Damn!
I don't believe that Arsenal can still be trapped by the unruly Thune!
Since I can't play on the right side, can I switch to the left side?
Ashley Cole must have a better assist ability than Eboue on the left, and switching to the left could also cause confusion in the opposition's defence.
Well, I'll talk to Arsene Wenger when I get back to the dressing room.
Quaresma decided that he had played just as perfectly on the left side of the Portuguese national team before, and there was no reason why it wouldn't work at Arsenal.
However, after returning to the dressing room, Quaresma was about to talk to Wenger about it, and Wenger spoke first.
After clapping his hands to attract the attention of the players, Wengerand said: "Ljungberg, you are ready to play in the second half, your task is to break down the right and create more threat and chaos!" ”
Hearing Wengerjungberg come on the pitch, Quaresma chuckled in his heart, and his disappointment instantly welled up in his heart, and his frustration overflowed.
When Ljungberg comes on, doesn't that mean he has to be replaced?
What is this operation?
He may not have played as usual in the first half, but compared to other teammates who were in poor form, he was undoubtedly a rare bright spot on the field for Arsenal.
It's no wonder that many players are very unhappy when they are replaced by the manager, and I really feel this feeling now.
The team is in a bad situation, and when you need to fight hard, you can only watch your teammates fight hard when you replace yourself on the field, who can stand this?
But just when Quaresma was about to burst out, Wenger continued: "Ricardo, in the second half your position was changed to the left side, Pire's muscles were not very comfortable, change it down and rest, I watched your game in the Portuguese national team, your left side is just as good, you just need to continue to ensure your performance!" ”
'We need an equaliser, we need to get ahead, we need this win!'
"We will not accept defeat!"
In the end, Wenger's tone couldn't help but be excited.
Quaresma didn't know how to express his feelings at that time, can't you pick the key points first?
I thought I was going to die!
With a false alarm, Quaresma felt like he had gone through a crazy roller coaster ride and was scared half to death!
Although Wenger made the substitution adjustment because of Pire's muscle discomfort and switched Quaresma to the right, it was a mistake that coincided with Quaresma's own plan.
Either way, Quaresma's fighting spirit has been ignited.
I can't wait!
Come, get ready to take on a full-fledged Quaresma!
The victory of this game, we are decided!
If you want to hold on to a victory, have you asked Quaresma?
