The day after the game, replays of the highlights from the previous round of the Premier League showed that Arsenal did not appear to be wearing the captain's armband in the second half of the game in which Laurent Koscielny went off injured. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When asked by reporters, Arsène Wenger was also confused.
Arsenal have been criticised for their lack of leadership, with a 2-0 home win over Manchester City in the Premier League, and Koscielny was spotted missing the captain's armband in the second half after suffering an Achilles tendon injury.
'I don't remember [who was the captain in the second half of Manchester City], no, that's a good question, nobody asked me who was the captain. I'm going to have to think about this for the next 24 hours. β
The Premier League does have rules that say teams must wear the captain's armband at all times during a match, and if they find out that Arsenal are unarmed during the game, they will even call the Gunners to arrange for a player on the pitch to wear the captain's armband.
However, the game was over and the referee didn't mention it in the match report, so the Premier League committee informed Arsenal and asked them to make up their minds for the next time, and the matter was closed.
Due to the weekly double match in April, Arsenal put into intense training after a short break, and although April 4 was China's Qingming Festival, Zhang Zhetian still trained, and called his third uncle Zhang Chong in the evening to ask him to sweep the graves of his parents and grandparents on his behalf.
Every year during Qingming, Zhang Chong will take Zhang Ying and his apprentices back to China to visit relatives and sweep the tomb, and Zhang Zhetian also goes back together, but after transferring to Arsenal this year, he became a professional player, and I am afraid that he can only bless his relatives in his heart every year in the future.
On this day, which was also the 31st round of the Premier League, Arsenal hosted West Ham United at the pre-match press conference, Gunners coach Arsene Wenger attended to answer questions from reporters.
Reporter: Injuries in the squad
'Oxlade-Chamberlain and Aaron Ramsey have a medical today and there is a good chance they will return to the squad. How long has Koscielny been sidelined? I do not know. He's got an injury that could take a couple of weeks or play against Crystal Palace and he's checked today and I'll have more to tell you tomorrow. Mertesacker can play today and he'll be back tomorrow. Cech, I'm afraid not, maybe next Monday. β
Reporter: When will the future be announced?
"I've answered this question many times, and you ask it again. Don't worry, you'll get the answer soon. β
Reporter: What do you think of the opposition of the fans?
"To be honest, I'm a professional coach and I have to deal with all kinds of good situations and not-so-good situations. Nowadays everyone has an opinion, and it is important that the people who can influence the outcome come together. β
"I like to win in football and I'm focused on that. I work for the club with all my heart and soul and I'm not afraid. I accept people's judgment of me and focus on the game, that's it. β
Reporter: About the future
"The Board of Directors is responsible for making decisions about the future. One thing, for a great football club, it's important to play great football on the pitch. Everything else is on paper. The important thing is to play with a fighting spirit and attitude. β
Reporter: Race for the championship, keep four and the rest of the schedule
"I've done it for over 20 years and it doesn't seem like much, and it's nice to realize now that it's not as simple as it seems. Pep Guardiola has also said that finishing in the top four [in the Premier League] is equivalent to winning trophies. We've been winning games since February and luckily we haven't been left behind too much by Chelsea. There are still 10 rounds in the league (including rematch rounds), and we won't give up on the title until the end. β
'We have a lot of games in April, two games a week, and everybody has to stay in shape. We need the support of the fans in the game and we will play in the FA Cup semi-finals, the Champions League quarter-finals, which is something we all have to give it our all and this is a good opportunity to show our togetherness. β
Reporter: On Sanchez's future
'Alexis Sanchez has a year and a half left on his contract and I don't know what the point of contention is. Our job is to perform just by being in the team. I don't understand this anxiety, it's all about denying the professionalism of a player. β
Reporter: What do you think Moyes offended a female journalist?
"I'm in enough trouble right now, I don't need to interfere in Moyes' business."
Reporter: Have you set goals for yourself?
"No, I told myself that the higher the better. We're fighting for a positive result at the end of the season and that's why I want the fans to be behind the team. Let's be as strong as we can and let's show the resilience of our mindset. β
Reporter: About West Ham United
'They've had a tough time moving into their new home, they've lost Payet in the middle of the season, the Premier League is a difficult league but they have quality players.
β¦β¦
"Since the official launch on April 1, there have been 10009725 registered members of 'Zhangmen'."
Lying lazily on the sofa, listening to Darko Markowitz's report, Zhang Zhetian yawned: "It's only been 4 days, and there are so many people?" β
"It's normal, they are all from other platforms, and there have been nearly 10 million fans before, and it is estimated that there are many new fans this time."
"When the whole number is full, do you give gifts?"
"It's too fast, I didn't have time, there were already millions of people on the first day, and the next few days kept people registering, and they couldn't be busy."
"If there are not enough people, let's recruit more, well, in this way, find the first, hundredth, thousandth, thousandth, the hundredth, the millionth, and the teny-millionth, and arrange the distribution of gifts as soon as possible."
"Okay, boss, but ......" Seeing that Markwitz wanted to say goodbye, Zhang Zhetian got up and leaned on the back of the sofa and said: "Don't talk in front of Lao Tzu, let out a fart quickly." β
"Well, the first member, it's you, the boss."
"Oh, it's me." Zhang Zhetian's eyes widened suddenly, the first member, is it?
When did Lao Tzu register as a member online?
"Boss, you're the founder, so you're also the first member, that's the rule." Mark Witz explained.
"What number are you?"
"I'm number 11."
"Is it 11 for Mao?"
"Except for the boss, you are the number one, the second to the tenth, it is up to you to decide who to give it to."
"So, the second to the tenth, are empty?"
Markwitz nodded.
Zhang Zhetian looked at Makwitz meaningfully for a moment, and said, "Contact my third uncle, elder sister, my senior brothers, and Zhang Yuning." β
"If that's not enough, move your place back."
Looking at Zhang Zhetian's back, the corners of Markwitz's mouth twitched, and he said secretly: "Fortunately, I had the foresight to draw out the top 20 membership numbers a long time ago." β
On April 5, 2017, at 7 p.m., the 31st round of the English Premier League Arsenal's home match against West Ham is about to start.
