No. 744: Beat the Reservoir Dogs!

The referee summoned players from both sides to the centre circle, and the Arsenal fans burst into thunderous applause.

Although they were numerically inferior tonight, their side surprised them by once again coming out of the Camp Nou.

Arsenal players return the salute with their hands raised.

When it was the turn of the players on both sides to shake hands, Pique was embarrassed, and Chen Fan shook hands with him and left like a person who was fine.

Pique was extremely disappointed......

……

At the post-match press conference, Guardiola said helplessly: "It's not that we didn't perform well, it's not that our players didn't do their best, but football is like this, and what you pay is not necessarily rewarded." ”

'I apologise to the fans, the team let them down and the main responsibility lies with me.

Pep Guardiola carries the responsibility on his shoulders.

In response to a reporter's question, he admitted that not containing Chen Fan was the biggest problem tonight: "Chen was surprising, in the few attacking opportunities, he scored three goals. His first two goals, in particular, were surprising and hard to imagine.

I admit that the main reason why I didn't get the result I wanted tonight was that I didn't contain him! ”

London reporters are more concerned about Pique's future, and Guardiola shook his head and said: "Everyone knows that it's a way for him to boost morale, it's not serious, he won't retire." ”

"I'm not going to let him retire!"

Journalists certainly thought about this outcome, how could a player choose to retire at the prime age for the sake of a vow.

Pique is Puyol's successor and if he retires, it will be a serious blow to the Barcelona defence.

And where to find such a good centre-back?

Arsene Wenger came to the scene with a smile on his face and began by praising his team: "Everyone knows it's tough at Camp Nou, but we managed to get out of here! ”

"We were behind in a lot of important stats, but we were very tenacious and got the results we wanted!"

Then he focused on praising Chen Fan: "Chen is shocking again, especially his first two goals, which are simply unimaginable, those are two unbeatable goals!" ”

"He showed the world his footwork!"

'Chen's performance was a big part of why we were able to leave tonight and I'm glad I brought him to the Emirates Stadium two years ago!'

In the question session, a reporter mentioned Pique again, and Wenger said with a smile: "I believe that Pique will not retire, of course, for him, this is also a lesson, don't swear in the future." ”

……

The mixed interview area suddenly became enthusiastic as the Arsenal players came out of the dressing room.

The Trident was summoned by the reporters.

The Ace reporter asked Cesc Fabregas: "How did it feel to break the Barcelona goal at the Camp Nou? ”

The face of the correspondent of the Catalan region was gloomy, damn it, this is to rub salt on the wound.

Fabregas did not expect that the journalist's first question would be so difficult to answer.

"It's complicated."

The Spaniard thought for a moment and said: "It's like my feelings for Barcelona, it's complicated. ”

The reporter from the Madrid area accepted it when he saw it, and did not embarrass him anymore.

On the other side, Van Persie faced reporters' questions and replied: "Chen performed very well tonight, which is obvious to the world, he is my best brother and I am proud of him." ”

Chen Fan was undoubtedly the most reporters next to him, and a French reporter asked: "Pique said before the game that if you score a hat-trick tonight, he will announce his retirement tomorrow." ”

"A lot of people don't think he's going to retire because of that, as one of the parties, what do you think about that?"

Towards the end of the first half, Pique's kick sent him stretchered off the pitch.

Without the help of the system, he simply couldn't play in the second half.

Coupled with the many pre-game war of words between the two, everyone knows that there is a contradiction between the two of them.

The corners of Chen Fan's mouth turned up slightly, and he sneered: "Of course I know that he will not retire because of this, because he is not a person who believes in his word!" ”

The Catalan reporters looked embarrassed, and they knew that Chen Fan was forcing Pique.

Let Pique not be able to hold his head up in front of him in the future.

"Chen, if it were you, would you definitely retire?"

The reporter of Le Monde Sport wants to get Pique back on the field.

Chen Fan said solemnly: "Of course! If it were me, I would definitely retire, and I would never eat back the saliva that I spit out! ”

A London reporter deliberately made a disgusting look, and the Catalan reporter's face was even more ugly, and they hoped that Chen Fan would spare Pique.

But they underestimated Chen Fan.

"You force Pique like this, you lose your demeanor and damage your image."

The reporter for the sports newspaper said: "It's not easy to be a professional footballer, and it's even harder to reach the heights of Pique. It's not good for you to press like this, and if Pique retires, it will be a big loss for world football. ”

The reporters frowned slightly, partially agreeing with the reporter's words.

Chen Fan suddenly became angry, and said coldly: "It's not easy for Pique, so it's easy for me?" ”

"Have you forgotten his shovel?"

"If I am deposed by him, my career will be over, so who will have a greater impact on world football than me or Pique?"

The group of reporters suddenly became lively, "Yes, Peake's kick is to go to the waste!" ”

"That's right, Pique is at fault first, but someone is here to force Chen to forgive him, which makes no sense at all!"

"Speaking of losses, what will Arsenal do if Chen is injured?"

The faces of journalists in Catalonia are becoming more and more ugly.

How could Chen Fan let go of Pique so easily, he gave a heavy blow to the local reporter: "I didn't take those words he said before the game, after all, this is a battle of life and death, and it is understandable for him to say something to improve morale." ”

"But that kick sobered me up, it turned out that he was such a person."

He exhaled a long breath and continued: "It's very difficult to score at Camp Nou. As you can see, the free kick I took at the end was in such a good position, and if it was another stadium, I was absolutely confident that I would score.

The boos that rang out from more than 80,000 people really disturbed me.

It's so hard to score goals, it's even harder to score a hat-trick, so even when I hear Pique say it, I didn't even think about it before the game.

But that kick infuriated me, and since you did, then I'm desperate to score a hat-trick!

So, I have to thank him for inspiring my ambition to score a hat-trick! ”

Although Chen Fan's words were half-true, they still made Catalan reporters feel bitter in their hearts.

A French reporter thought: Could it be that if Chen was respected before the game, he would be merciful?
