Volume 6 Chapter 13 Qualifying Ahead of the Schedule
Park Joo-yong is a name that many people have probably never heard of, and Makqin has never heard of it, and he never paid attention to Arsenal in his previous life.
The South Korean, who never saw this figure on the Calderon bench in the last round, actually appeared in the starting lineup today, and no one knows what medicine Wenger sells in the gourd.
Van Persie, Rosicky, and Arshavin were all on the bench, and if it weren't for the opposing manager's seat sitting with Wenger, whom he respects more, he might have thought that the other side was scared to death.
It seems that the professor did not put smoke bombs before the game, but sold miserably, he said in an interview: "Atletico Madrid is very strong in this group, it is difficult for any team to compete with them for the first place in the group, the schedule is not good for us, but we will not give up, we will go all out to qualify from the group!" ”
The old man's subtext is for the FA, their first round of Premier League play-up is scheduled for tomorrow, and you heard that right, the two games are back-to-back like the NBA, with only 24 hours apart.
The wrinkled professor was almost embarrassed by the old gentleman of the hair dryer, and he complained to no avail, so he could only bite the bullet, so Mackin saw the lineup of Arsenal today.
Obviously, the professor put the hope of qualifying from the group on the last two games, which are used for training, anyway, even if the whole main team may not be able to win, the league is equally important to fight for the fourth.
And it is estimated that Wenger intends to let his new wave of Zhengtai group see the world, and will be used to replace Ramsey, Walket and right-back Jenkinson who has just 18.
Sometimes you have to admire this professor, once a football club builds a new stadium, for those who are not so financially strong, it is basically equivalent to starting the rhythm of selling stars.
Atletico Madrid also had this history in their most glorious 70s, when they almost lost everything they wanted to build their Stadio de Calderón.
So in later generations, many people scolded Wenger because of Arsenal's poor results, and Mackin didn't agree with it, and Arsenal's state at that time, if Wenger hadn't supported the beams, they would have been relegated.
Many times, merit depends on how it is compared.
Arsene Wenger, who has dedicated his life to Arsenal, has survived the club and retained the fans almost by relying on the low-cost purchase of Zhengtai and his gorgeous system that can ensure first-class competitiveness.
He's not much worse than Ferguson, except for a few fewer titles.
Respect to respect, but since Arsenal rushed to send such a lineup, Atletico Madrid will naturally not be polite, Mackin commanded the team to hold down the 18-year-old Jenkinson at the beginning of the game.
Now many details on the field, Ancelotti who sits firmly in the coach's seat is not as good as personally directing, Mackin will adjust according to his own ideas, and he will only direct when he feels that he needs to be corrected.
Jenkinson is full of potential, and he has not secured the strength of the main right-back of the giants, not to mention that he is only 18 this year, and in less than ten minutes of the opening game, he was trembling under the impact of Sanchez, Mackqin and Felipe.
Arsenal star Wilkinson on the commentary bench didn't save any face for his old club, and said angrily: "I want to know what Jenkinson is doing when he comes up, Coquelin and Julu are not in the squad and the other is sitting on the bench, does Wenger think the league is more important than the Champions League?" ”
'Jenkinson doesn't deserve to start a game like this but he's still young, that's Arsene Wenger's choice, I don't know what he thinks, we managed to win a Champions League place last season but you don't want to see them do that this year'
To be honest, many people have not figured out Professor Qingqi's brain circuit, but this does not prevent Atletico Madrid from beating Arsenal on the field.
In the 16th minute, Atletico Madrid broke through their defence on the right side of Arsenal as they wished, Sanchez received a direct push from Felipe, bypassed the unresponsive Jenkinson and went straight into the penalty area, and crossed into the small box before Mertesacker came up, and Aguero opened the scoring after a re-onset.
1:0。
"What is this Park Joo-yong doing here?" Wilkinson was almost out of anger today, "He was like a shivering quail under Silva's marking, unable to hold the ball, making a wrong pass, could it be that Arsene Wenger bought the South Korean for £3 million just for the Asian market and that unlucky free-kick?" ”
"Beep ......", apparently the live broadcast director of the TV station urgently made a temporary treatment.
Mark skillfully controlled the ball, commanding the team to besiege Arsenal shrunk in front of his penalty area, wave after wave, after Xiaofa and Nasri left, Arsenal's midfield really dropped too seriously.
Arteta couldn't carry it alone, Ramsey hadn't grown up yet, and the shells from the Hot Bird and Walcott couldn't fly without a mid-lane delivery.
They concentrated on defending and counterattacking in Colderon last time, playing with all the main forces, and let Atletico Madrid work a lot to win, but they didn't expect to surrender first today.
Mackin felt that his punch had hit the cotton, and the thief was weak.
Maybe Wenger and Ferguson are just behind that blood, and the old man has not lost a big score, but at that time, the players were waiting for his spit to rain, and Wenger was still too merciful.
Tzu is not in charge of the army.
Wenger was obviously also anxious, and did not sit in his seat safely, he wanted to use a semi-substitute to play and train the young people by the way, but not let Atletico Madrid press and play.
As a result, not long after he stood up, Atletico Madrid scored again, this time it was Mackqin.
He first found Mata on the right touchline with a long pass from the left midfielder, and then Mata pulled back from the bottom line and made a fake cross, but pushed the ball to Gabi in front of the box.
Gabi was quick to dodge Arteta's diagonal push down the middle, and Mackin and Sergio Aguero made a counter-run into the box and fired a low shot in front of Arsenal's two centre-backs, cutting straight through Szczesny's ten fingers.
2:0。
After the goal, the Atletico players were not very excited at all, they just happily high-fived each other and walked back, what a dish, there was no tension at all!
Wilkinson was so angry that he couldn't speak, "Sometimes you can't be too sensible, and this kind of game is not just a loss of three points, it will have a more profound impact."
"We're not at the same level as Atletico Madrid, and looking at how easily Mark got the ball in midfield, I don't even know if he's going to sweat after this game!"
Throughout the first half, apart from relying on the speed of Walcott and Gervinho, Arsenal had few chances to advance past the half, and Park Joo-young was even more dish-worthy.
The Arsenal fans in the stands were very entangled, many of them were planning for Arsenal to win, and at that time they would applaud if Mack Qin could perform well, but what now?
In the entire Emirates Stadium, only the Atletico Madrid fans are singing and dancing, plus the non-Arsenal England fans are cheering on Macklin, and the new Wembley is in London, which is half of Mackchen's home stadium.
Before half-time, Professor Wen, who had been embarrassed for most of the half, suffered another blow on the sidelines when Martinez headed Mata's corner into the Arsenal goal.
3:0。
"Hey, Mark, don't work too hard this season, we're waiting for you to play in the European Championship......", many English fans in the stands simply poured salt into the wounds of Arsenal fans.
There were even boos from the stands when we got off the pitch, and the Arsenal fans started to boo their own home team, which was completely self-inflicted, why did I come to watch the game today.
It's comparable to a certain country's national football team! I'm angry!
I don't know how Wenger arranged it at halftime, and Atletico Madrid obviously didn't want to play in the second half, and they finished the last 45 minutes, and around 60 minutes, they changed three people in a row.
General Fan, Rosicky, and Arshavin are all here!
I'll it! , Ancelotti originally wanted to change people to call it a day, but he and Mackin were shocked, what kind of routine is this? Haven't seen it, newly developed?
Could it be that the legendary show of weakness to the enemy, fight against the odds, and win in misery?
Now that Arsenal is on the main team, Atletico Madrid has not made any substitutions, let's face it, Arsenal's wave of people is crazy and explosive, and it is not impossible to equalize in 30 minutes.
In particular, Van Persie has completely exploded this year, climbed the top scorer glory list, and injuries have not patronized him again, and now he has become the last guarantee for Arsenal's forward line.
Break out, Van Persie, and then you're not far from being sold!
Mackin doesn't know if the old lord will seduce him this summer, but as long as he moves his mind a little, history will not be rewritten, because Arsenal can refuse anything now, except for money, and they can't refuse.
And they can't meet the salary package requirements of a league's top scorer.
In the last 30 minutes of the game, the two sides played well, and Arsenal also set off several attacks, but it was too late, and Atletico Madrid didn't want to fight too hard, so they took the initiative to close.
It is estimated that Wenger just wanted to make the scene look better, and in the end, the two sides shook hands in the last 30 minutes, and the whole game was 3:0, and Atletico Madrid locked the right to qualify from the group in advance!
"Oh......, Atletico Madrid won as they wished, without spending the slightest effort, Arsenal can go to the league, and they can give up the remaining two Champions League games, because such a team does not deserve to qualify", Wilkinson said sarcastically after the game.
Mackin didn't have time to think about what Arsenal and Arsene Wenger were thinking, he was just happy that he had reached the knockout stages of the Champions League again after two years.
4 wins in a row, 4 wins in a row in the Champions League group stage! There are only 3 teams that can do it, that's right, La Liga top 3!
After celebrating with his team-mates in the dressing room, he immediately washed up and went to the press conference, and there were not too few media waiting for him to speak in London.
"Sometimes you have to make strategic choices in the middle of a busy schedule", said Arsene Wenger with a bitter face as he entered, "We are now five points behind fourth place in the league, and it is unrealistic to compete with Atletico Madrid for the top spot in the Champions League group, but we will fight for a place and the round of 16 will be the real battle"
"Mark, Mark, how did it feel to come back with the team for the first time?"
"Mark, how do you feel about being in the knockout stages of the Champions League again after two years?"
"Mark, are you confident of winning next summer's European Championships?"
As soon as he came in, the focus naturally shifted, with the English media being more concerned with what Mackin said than with the outcome of the game.
Arsenal? If you lose, you lose, anyway, they can't win the Champions League, maybe the quarterfinals are difficult, is there any value in in-depth reporting?
Mackin smiled and nodded at the reporters and said: "Arsenal is my old rival, I still miss coming back, but the most important thing for me now is to help Atletico win trophies"
"Of course I'm very happy to be back in the knockout rounds, because it means that Atletico Madrid have entered the knockout stage for the first time in many years, and the knockout stage is completely different from the group stage, and we need to prepare seriously and try to go further"
"As for the European Championship next summer......", he paused, then continued with a smile: "The World Cup winner must be the favorite to win the European Cup, and our goal is naturally to fight for the title, there is nothing to doubt about it"
"Boom", the bottom is completely hilarious, this is the first time that Makqin has expressed his ambitions for the European Cup.
The main thing is that Mackin also feels that the time has come, the qualifiers have been played, and the European Championship from the Queen, the Prime Minister to the FA, the goal given to Capello is the champion both openly and secretly, which is already known to the whole England team, not to mention the English fans who have been raised their appetites.
"But we have to keep our feet on the ground", he turned serious, "There have been many dark horses in the European Cup, and the strength of the teams is very close, not to mention the strong opponents such as Spain, Germany, Italy, and France, we may have to go home early if we are careless......
