Chapter 273: The Road to the Top (Part I)

Portsmouth ultimately suffered defeat on the road, and thanks to Cazorla's pass and shot in the second half, Arsenal ended a six-game winning streak at the Emirates Stadium 2-0.

Two days later, Chelsea beat Norwich City by four goals at home and remained unbeaten with 19 points from six wins and one draw, thus overtaking Portsmouth to reach the top. Hydward's side are second on 18 points, three ahead of third-placed Manchester City, and the two teams will meet directly in two weeks' time. On the positive side for Pompeo's legion, Manchester City will travel to the Netherlands to face Ajax in the Champions League on October 24, so they have to face multiple difficulties such as a tiring two-game journey for a week. Followed by Lord Ferguson's Manchester United, with 15 points because of the disadvantage of goal difference ranked fourth, Van Persie's fiery form quickly conquered the Red Devils fans, Manchester United fans jokingly called Roonega Van Persie, a tall one, the high is Van Persie is also Van Persie.

From then on, David Moyes' Everton are fifth with four wins, two draws and one defeat with 14 points, West Bromwich Albion are sixth with the same points, and then Arsenal with 12 points. There's no way to describe how Arsene Wenger felt this summer, but Van Persie, who had been playing well for six years and playing well for a year, joined rivals Manchester United with a desire to win the title, and the professor told Ferguson at a press conference on the day the deal was made: "You can't imagine what a good player you have signed". Behind Lord Frug's glamour is the helplessness of the old rival to continue to stagger forward with Arsenal, and continue his damn epic challenge: the transfer fee is negative, players over the age of 30 are signed once a year, and the same is true for those who do not agree to clean up the core of the veteran contract at a low price, the top four in the league every year, and the round of 16 in the Champions League.

Further down the table are Queens Park Rangers and Norwich City with two points, Reading and Southampton with four, Swansea, Villa and Wigan Athletic on five, and Liverpool with six and Stoke City with eight. Two major events happened off the pitch in this round of the Premier League, Southampton officially announced the departure of the meritorious manager Atkins, and the good old man really did not even make it to Christmas as predicted by the media. New coach Mauricio Pochettino signed a five-year contract at the speed of light, and his first game against him was a big test for the South Shore derby, one of England's four major derbys. Another major event occurred at Aston Villa, when the famous third-rate tabloid The Sun published a clash between Villa director Sencibile and a number of players in the team, and two staff members were taken to hospital for stitches, which shows the seriousness of the clash. The British media revealed that the reason was that Abang Lajo was caught smoking hookah with his teammates while recuperating from an injury and a series of chaotic private lives, and the hard-line Italian used extreme punishment methods such as suspension of pay and training and three stops, which led to the conflict.

Villa head coach McLeish has unexpectedly backed his players in public for a number of reasons, and Sensibile's future with the Lions has become uncertain.

................

Margery didn't know what to call the old man in front of him, who sat down and signed for the waiter in the restaurant and handed him the menu with a smile.

"It's rude, but I feel the need to give you some pointers," Professor Wenger said calmly.

Margery is having a terrible time, Giroud's goal is among the top five goals of the round, and the object of the Frenchman's crushing has been mentioned over and over again, social media has been bombarded over and over again, and he suddenly feels that playing football is not happy, sometimes full of pain and sadness.

The pain of a hundred stitches is not as good as the garbage scolded by the fans.

Margery was comforted by many, but he didn't want that to come from the creator of suffering, and he stared at Wenger with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through the man.

After a brief small talk, the professor cut straight to the point, "You don't seem to be very good at playing against tall forwards. Carroll, Giroud..."

He stirred the sauce in the cup with a spoon, which was a sticky red tomato juice that had been burned by the fire, and took the sandwich and tossed it into it little by little. "Young man, you're on your way to success, but what can you do?"

Margery looked a little cramped, "Professor... I have no intention of leaving this club......"

Wenger paused the spoon in his hand, disagreed, and continued to stir. "You are very similar to one of my former disciples, and of course you don't mean playing football. The kid won the European title at the age of 17, lifted the Premier League trophy and made his senior debut. He took Tony from me at 19? Adams' No. 6 jersey, the Premier League and the Champions League have not conceded a goal in more than ten consecutive rounds, and the national team has set a national record for 1,184 minutes without conceding a goal. At that time in the Arsenal dressing room, Cesc Fabregas had to hand the lad towels. ”

"In '06 he played in the World Cup in Germany, playing the full 90 minutes plus 30 minutes of extra time with a broken nose and a dislocated shoulder ligament, and scored the winner with a header."

Margery is confused, has Arsenal ever had such a supernatural young man?

Wenger saw the young man's confusion and pulled up a photo of a young man screaming in front of the camera from his phone, "His name is Senderos." ”

"Sendros ?!!!" Margery has seen this person, Fulham's game against Portsmouth, the defender who was played by his good friend Brent in a row, he is a not very confident person, he is very skillful and defensive, except for his appearance, he is simply different from the arrogant and brave young man in Wenger's mobile phone.

This is a well-known story in the Premier League, the story of how the monster Drogba, a legendary man in the Premier League, destroyed the Gunners' generation of hopefuls. In the Community Shield, the monster forced the tall and strong Sendros into the net, and two weeks later, Drogba stopped the ball and made a mistake, but the nervous Swede behind him seemed to be broken, and once again became the background emperor of the monster's goal, Drogba ended Chelsea's eight-year history of not winning against Arsenal. The matter is not over, in the 06-07 League Cup final, it was still Senderos, the cross fell wrongly, and the high-jumping monster pressed the defender's headhammer from the gunner to reverse the score.

The image of defenders facing Didier Drogba for Premier League fans is that they keep falling, crashing and falling, jumping up and falling, falling, falling, falling, and the miserable Sendros never gets up after he falls.

'I've told him before that it's a good challenge to face Drogba and that Drogba is a test piece for you on the road to a top defender, it's a learning process and as long as you can play better and better, you will get more and more experience with a striker of Drogba's level. Now I give you this sentence, Margery. Your awareness and speed are rare talents, and now my striker has only beaten you on a physical level that you're not good at, and if one day you face a player like Robin van Persie and he gives you a fatal blow in what you do best, that's the beginning of the collapse. ”

Margery was silent, pop music sounded in the dining room, and Wenger was calmly dining. The show on the TV set in the restaurant caught the eye of Xiao Ma in a trance, and the sunny young Torres in front of the KOP stand beat Vidic in a near-crushing fashion, Gareth? Bale beat the superbly fast McCone with his speed three seconds later, and the star who became famous by one goal always proved himself in another, but was also defeated in heads-up, who are still the best defenders on the planet.

Wenger wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, ignoring the young man next to him, and he took out the pen from his bosom and kept writing and drawing on another piece of paper, as well as jotting down many names. This is a kind of realization that needs to be experienced by himself, and he just gives young people a little guidance on a whim without any utilitarianism. The music in the restaurant has changed from melodious to a hip-hop style, which is a music that is often played at Arsenal's home stadium, zipper doors, thermos cups, Wenger OUT, temperature difference sign, the most formed, almost Mr. Wenger, extremely ridiculous and sarcastic, but the professor actually hummed along with a smile on his face.

If you don't watch football, you won't understand that a person can earn a ray of light under the obstacles of the whole world.
