No. 695: My favorite thing to do is to slap my face......
The defeat of Arsenal became the biggest news in European football, and they managed to dominate the front pages of major media outlets.
Clearly, this is not what Wenger wants, and he fears the defeat will affect the FA Cup tie with Tottenham.
The FA Cup is a decisive game, with a draw-off before the second leg goes into play-off.
A two-goal lead and a three-goal reversal was a real blow to Arsenal, with Arsene Wenger calling a team meeting before training the following afternoon.
"Last night's game was disappointing, but we shouldn't be frustrated about the future, because we're still at the top of the table!"
"Our lead is still huge!"
Manchester United closed the gap on Arsenal with a two-goal win over Sunderland last night, but the gap between the two teams remains large – nine points.
As long as Arsenal doesn't make big mistakes in the next games, Manchester United can only look at the top of the table and sigh.
'I've said before that our priority this season is to defend the double, and we have success in the Premier League, so there is no room for failure in the FA Cup!'
The players nodded their heads and exhaled a breath of turbidity from their hearts, exhaling the disappointment of last night's defeat.
Wenger breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Actually, losing is not a bad thing, we don't have to stand on the altar anymore, it's cold from the heights."
We have a lot of games to play, the Premier League, the FA Cup and more importantly, the Champions League!
The Champions League opponents are really strong and we can't afford to make any mistakes! ”
Standing on the altar for a long time will make people unable to see the hidden danger ahead, and when they step down from the altar, they can observe the opponent from a low place.
In this way, it is possible to avoid the possibility of capsizing in the gutter.
Just like last night, with a two-goal lead, Arsene Wenger thought there was no problem in winning the game, so he replaced the Dutch duo and it took Chelsea just two minutes to equalise.
Arsene Wenger should not have started all of the Tridents if it had been before, and by then, the Trident would have been at least two on the pitch.
Then, whether Van Persie and Chen Fan stay on the field, there is enough deterrence that Chelsea will not dare to let go of their hands and feet to attack.
Then the results may change.
A 59-game unbeaten run has given Arsene Wenger a strong self-confidence, which was conceited last night.
Chen Fan said: "Coach, don't worry, we have no problem, no one can remain undefeated all the time, we have long known that this day will come, so we have long been ready to accept this result." ”
Cesc Fabregas was ashamed because he was still basking in the disappointment of last night's defeat, at least before the meeting.
Van Persie nodded and said: "Chen is right, no one can win all the time, just like life, no one can always have smooth sailing, and there will be bumps in the road ahead." ”
"Now is a new starting point for us. Now there are also many people hiding in the shadows, hoping that we will continue to lose, and they can mock us with impunity! ”
His voice suddenly raised: "We will never give them this chance!" ”
Song nodded and said, "Yes, we will never give them this kind of opportunity!" ”
Arsene Wenger breathed a real sigh of relief, and his eyebrows smoothed out.
……
"Arsenal, Tottenham's soldiers, use home advantage to beat them back to their original shape!"
The Manchester City Evening News began to cheer for Tottenham before the FA Cup kick-off.
'Judging by the last round of Premier League games, Arsenal are not invincible and they have never been invincible.
In the second leg of last season's Champions League semi-finals, the Netherlands were both suspended, and they suffered defeat.
Last night, the Dutch duo went down early, only to be reversed by Chelsea's three-goal attempt!
This shows that without the Dutch double, Arsenal is a pseudo-strong team.
Then, as long as you find a way to freeze them, the victory will be yours!
To hell with the dream of defending Arsenal's double! ”
Arsenal's double win over Manchester United last season, particularly at the Theatre of Dreams, saw the two sides clash on the pitch and the end of the game when players from both sides almost got into a scuffle in the dressing room, which led to a grudge between the two teams.
As the mouthpiece of Manchester United, the Manchester City Evening News wants to see two things in the past: Manchester United win, Arsenal lose.
……
Fast forward to the last day of 2010, and the citizens of London are still in the festive spirit of Christmas, while the fans are immersed in the world of football.
Arsenal play Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur in four days' time, in a civil war in the City of London.
Civil wars tend to be more competitive than foreign wars, and it has to do with the fans who are vying for the city, the fans are the market, and the market is the money.
No one and money can't get by.
Of course, in addition to money, this also has a lot to do with history.
'Chelsea can beat Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium and we can beat Arsenal at White Hart Lane!'
Chelsea can win away from home, can't we win at home?
Tottenham fans have quite confidence in this game.
"Hopefully my big gunner can regain his confidence with Tottenham......
Arsenal fans are a little worried about their team, worried that their team will lose again and again.
……
At six o'clock in the evening, the air in London plummeted to three degrees, and a cold light rain fell from the sky.
But that didn't stop the enthusiasm of the fans of both teams, who arrived early in the square outside White Hart Lane Stadium with umbrellas or raincoats.
They were wearing thicker clothes tonight than usual.
While waiting in line to enter, they rubbed their hands, blew hot air, and even stomped their feet to tighten the scarf around their necks.
The jerseys were covered by thick down jackets, and only the color of the scarves around their necks could tell who they were supporters.
Obviously, the fans wearing white scarves have the absolute advantage because this is their home stadium.
Soon, the Arsenal bus slowly drove into the stadium, and after Chen Fan got off the bus, he accepted the warm call of the reporters.
"It was supposed to be a football event in London, but there were people who came in like they were there, showing their presence and cheering for Tottenham."
Chen Fan looked at Matthew in the group of reporters. Upson said: "I'm not going to let him get what he wants, I'm not going to freeze Tottenham! ”
The pro-Arsenal media reporters breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Fan was still so domineering and still so confident.
"My favorite thing to do is slap my face, some people forget that fact."
Chen Fan said with a smile.
Matthew. Upson's face turned slightly pale, and he didn't know if it was because the weather was too cold, or if Chen Fan's words made him cold.
However, he sneered in his heart, boy, don't be too complacent, such weather......
Your opponents are not only Tottenham defenders, but also these icy rains!
