No. 756: Real Madrid to deliberately concede the ball?
On April 23, the penultimate round of the Premier League began.
With the Champions League semi-finals just around the corner, both Manchester United and Arsenal have hidden most of their key players.
Despite this, Manchester United, who took the lead, took advantage of the home advantage and beat Everton by a narrow goal.
At 8pm the next day, Arsenal's away game against Bolton Wanderers kicked off at Reebok Stadium.
Arsene Wenger did not change his strategy and still put Chen Fan and Cesc Fabregas on the bench.
It was Bolton Wanderers who opened the scoring at home, and in the 37th minute of the first half, they took advantage of a corner kick by Elmand to stab the ball into the net.
The second half began with a heavy battle between the two sides, with Bolton extending their lead in the twelfth minute when Elmand was tripped by Song in the box.
The referee awarded a penalty to Bolton, and Elmand personally hit it, 2-0!
Arsene Wenger had to play his trump card and replace Chen Fan and Cesc Fabregas on the field in one go.
The appearance of the two made the demoralized Arsenal high, and Bolton immediately rearranged the defensive strategy, and Chen Fan was taken care of by the other party.
However, Chen Fan was still amazing, and in the 31st minute of the second half, he seized the fleeting opportunity to force a shot in the penalty area, and the football penetrated the opponent's goal.
Ten minutes later, he forced his way into the opposition penalty area and was brought down by a defender to win a penalty for Arsenal.
Chen Fan scored a penalty kick he created to help Arsenal equalise and eventually keep the score until the end of the game.
Manchester United narrowed the gap on Arsenal with a win in this round, and the difference between the two teams became eight points.
It was Chen Fan who saved Arsenal again, and the Manchester City Evening News said: "Without Chen, Manchester United can further narrow the gap between the two teams." β
The London Business Daily said worriedly: "Arsenal now have a strong dependency, Chen is not on the pitch, it seems that no one can attack the city."
Fortunately, Chan has stayed healthy, otherwise Arsenal would have been in danger of collapsing in the closing stages of the season.
But what if in the match against Real Madrid, Chen is targeted to death by Real Madrid?
Who can step up and score for Arsenal? β
The Premier League is over, and the Champions League semi-finals are about to be staged.
European media and fans have turned their attention to the upcoming Champions League.
The match between Real Madrid and Arsenal is a duel between giants, which has attracted more media attention.
At this moment, a terrifying news broke!
Barcelona's mouthpiece World Sports broke the news: "In order to let Chen come to Real Madrid, Florentino hinted to Mourinho that he hopes Real Madrid will release water!" β
An important premise for Chen Fan to leave Arsenal is to help Arsenal win the Champions League.
As soon as this news came out, it instantly detonated the European media.
Florentino and Jose Mourinho are in the spotlight.
Mourinho showed his true colors as a madman, saying in an interview with Madrid media: "Real Madrid does want to get Chen, but Real Madrid is not going to violate sportsmanship!"
Monsieur Florentino never gave me such a hint, and he could not have given such a hint!
There's no way I'm going to do that with the players!
That's pure nonsense!
This is Barcelona's conspiracy with ulterior motives!
We will use facts to dispel such rumors! β
The Portuguese immediately stood up to refute the statements of the BarΓ§a mouthpiece and "exposed" the BarΓ§a machinations.
This is quite embarrassing for the Barcelona side, damn it, it's the media's own expression is good, when are we going to let them write such an article?
The Real Madrid mouthpiece also hit back at the remarks of the World Sports newspaper: "Real Madrid's pursuit of honor is stronger than anyone else's. Not to mention whether Florentino will hint at Mourinho in a strange way, even if he does, will Mourinho do this?
Didn't the Portuguese take into account the reaction of his players?
Even if he is really dizzy, will Ronaldo and others agree? β
World Sports News responded coldly: "It's useless to say anything now, everyone will know by looking at the final score and result." β
Arsenal inevitably got involved in the whirlpool of public opinion this time.
Speaking to the London media, Arsene Wenger said: "I don't believe in that kind of statement, people with a modicum of wisdom know it's nonsense. β
"Football is all about winning and if Real Madrid had done that, they wouldn't have been the greatest club in the world today."
Of course, Chen Fan is also the object that reporters are eager to interview.
He selectively accepted a telephone interview with Raphael, a reporter from London Business Daily.
"Deliberately putting water in order to get a certain player? I can only admire the imagination of this journalist, he is a complete waste of being a journalist, he should write it, and he will definitely become a bestseller! β
"Also, even if Arsenal won the Champions League, I never said that I would accept Real Madrid's offer. So they don't have to do it at all, and they can't do it either! β
As soon as Chen Fan's words came out, the Catalan media was secretly happy in their hearts, and finally won back a city!
When Chen Fan and Pique had a quarrel, the Madrid media added fuel to the fire, putting Barcelona in an extremely passive position, and the European media believed that it was impossible for Barcelona to make an offer to Arsenal.
"It turns out that Mr. Florentino has always been wishful thinking!"
The World Sports newspaper ridiculed the president of Real Madrid: "Mr. Florentino, did you hear that, Chen slapped you in the face and made all your actions look so ridiculous!" β
Chen Fan didn't expect that his words would be used by the Barcelona mouthpiece to attack Florentino.
However, he has no regrets, and if Florentino really wants to misinterpret his meaning, it is a big deal to rule out Real Madrid as an option in the future when transferring.
Ridiculed by the Barcelona mouthpiece, Real Madrid president Florendino took the initiative to give an interview to the media.
"My actions are not ridiculous, since you say, 'Just look at the final result,' then let's see the final result."
What does that mean?
The Catalan media's face was gloomy, damn it, it's all said like this, you haven't even given up on Chen?
Listening to Florentino's statement, Chen Fan had a strange feeling in his heart.
On the morning of April 27, Arsenal and his party appeared at Madrid International Airport.
Reporters from all over the world immediately surrounded them, and Chen Fan became the key figure in their encirclement.
"Chen, what do you think of Florentino's remarks?"
"Chen, is Real Madrid your first choice after leaving Arsenal? If not, who is your first choice? β
β¦β¦
Listening to the reporters' questions, Wenger's face was ugly, damn it, have you ever thought about Arsenal's feelings, have you ever thought about my feelings?
Are you air when we are?
Wenger's assistant sighed in his heart and whispered in his ear: "This shows that they are optimistic that we will win the Champions League this season!" β
Wenger's eyes lit up, and the depression in his heart was swept away.
If you look at the problem from a different angle, your mood will be completely different......
