"I repeat, Arsenal's goal this season is to win the title and that's never changed!"

Descartes' gaze was firm, his tone was serious, and all the reporters present could hear in his words, which was full of determination.

If two weeks ago, this group of reporters could have laughed at Arsenal for daring to lose even an underdog like Fulham and how to talk about the title, then the big wins in the last two games, especially Descartes' performance, have made it impossible for them to easily refute the words.

It is often said that the character of an army always depends on the character of the commander, and the Germans, under the leadership of Rommel, were elusive and accustomed to taking risks alone; The French, under the leadership of Napoleon, were full of invincible confidence; The Mongols, under the leadership of Genghis Khan, killed people and plundered land, daring to overturn all obstacles in front of them; And the Lakers are uncompromising under Kobe's leadership, even when they are at their most down, they have not lowered their arrogant heads.

So what is Arsenal's character?

It's hard for you to say clearly about that.

When the "five old defenders" were still there, people thought that Arsenal's character was iron-blooded, and the Gunners led by Graham were once called the "Iron Army", which sounded much more imposing than what "violent Ben", what "Hammer Gang", and what "Iron Army".

It's a pity that iron blood can't bring glory to Arsenal, and although the Gunners under Graham won two league titles and won a Champions League trophy, his 1:0 doctrine has always been spurned by the media and fans at the time, Arsenal at the time. The number of fans in the country can only be ranked at the bottom of the list, and even less than Leeds United, who were later relegated.

Arsene Wenger then arrived, injecting a flashy element into Arsenal.

However, flamboyance is not character, it is just a technique. One can describe the character as iron-blooded, weak, strong, and unyielding, but no one would use the word gorgeous to describe the character.

So we can only think that Arsenal under Arsene Wenger have a gorgeous appearance. But lack of character.

This state of affairs. It wasn't until the arrival of Patrick Vieira that Arsenal had a huge turnaround.

Patrick Vieira is certainly not a good-natured player, but one thing about him is very much appreciated, and that is his toughness.

The picture of him and Keane can be easily searched on Baidu. In the picture, the two have fierce eyes. Pushing each other. In that posture, the people who took on a little smaller could not even stand in front of them.

And it was this tough personality that brought about a change for Arsenal, and he put them on their feet. With a character of their own, Vieira won both the league and cup in his first season at Arsenal.

Fans familiar with Arsenal will easily recall that Arsene Wenger's three league trophies (1998-1999, 2001-2002, 2003-2004) were all left by Patrick Vieira during his time with the club.

This shows how important a manager with personality and the ability to inject his personality into the team is to a team.

Sadly, with the departure of Patrick Vieira, this tough and never-give-up personality has disappeared from Arsenal and Arsene Wenger has technically made the decision to prop Cesc Fabregas into the position, but he has not been able to find a new leader for the team mentally.

I can put the words here, with Cesc Fabregas's personality, he can be a first-class star, but he can never be a superstar.

His character determines his height.

Descartes' words caused a brief calm on the scene, because it has been a long time since reporters have heard such powerful words from Arsenal personnel, Wenger is suave, Cesc Fabregas is silent, Henry is always cautious when facing the media, and it is impossible for Arsenal's leaders in the past few years to say such words in such a tone.

Vaguely, some reporters seemed to see the fierce black man in 98 again, and he said seriously at his first press conference: "I'm here to help Arsenal win the championship." ”

Vieira did it, but what about Descartes?

A reporter from the Manchester Evening News reacted quickly, and after a brief pause, he raised his hand and asked: "Then Mr. Descartes, which championship are you aiming for, the league title?" Champions League winners? Or the FA Cup, or the League Cup? ”

When it comes to the final League Cup championship, the reporter unconsciously showed a mocking smile on his face, as the mouthpiece of Arsenal's sworn rival Manchester United, the "Manchester Evening News" reporter will never let go of any opportunity to hit Arsenal, Descartes's domineering just now made him lose his mind for a short time, but after sobering up, the reporter was full of dissatisfaction, he was ashamed of his momentary distraction, and he did not want to see Arsenal have momentum under the leadership of Descartes.

So he chose to use such a mocking question to undermine the confidence of Arsenal and Descartes, of course, the League Cup is also a champion, but who cares?

Of course, Descartes also saw the unbridled ridicule on the reporter's face, and he could see his origin from the press card on the man's chest, and he understood why he had such an expression and such a question, but he did not flinch, but looked at the reporter seriously and said three words.

"Every single one!"

It's not the League Cup, it's not the FA Cup, it's not just the league and the Champions League, Descartes is answering every one, every title!

This sentence made the scene in an uproar, too arrogant, really too arrogant!

In England, there are hundreds of competitions, large and small, and hundreds of champions can appear every year, but for a long time, there are generally only two champions who are valued and recognized by the majority of fans, the league championship and the FA Cup champion, if you count the more important European arenas, then the Champions League champion is also one of them.

In the 100-year history of the Premier League (here the English top league, not just the Premier League, which was founded in 92), there are only three teams that have won the first two titles in the same season. That's Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal.

On this basis, the only team in the entire Premier League that can win the treble, including the Champions League, is the Red Devils Manchester United in the 98-99 season, and there is no other semicolon.

Although Liverpool won the five crowns in the 00-01 season, but the Charity Shield? League Cup? Europa League? Who/care?Apart from Liverpool fans entertaining themselves with this accolade and showing it off, have fans of other Premier League teams ever talked about it?

Even Liverpool's own fans have not been able to sustain the enthusiasm for these titles, and without a league title, Liverpool will never be a true revival, even if they miraculously win the Champions League. But in the eyes of the media. Liverpool have remained uncompetitive in recent years.

Descartes's "every one" made all the reporters on the scene feel in their hearts that it was just a joke, and Arsenal participated in the League Cup, FA Cup, league and Champions League in four traditional competitions, so what he meant. Isn't it that Arsenal is going to be unprecedented? The "Quadruple Crown" of no one to come?

If it were to be extended according to his intentions. That includes the UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup after winning the Champions League?

Oh my God, this is the "Six Crowns"!

Is it that we don't understand, or is this guy in front of us crazy?

In the minds of this group of journalists. The "Triple Crown" is already the limit of what a team can do, and what "Quadruple Crown" and "Six-Crown" are not things that human beings can do at all.

Little did they know that just this season, Barcelona from Spain did what they thought was the "impossible" and became an unprecedented "six-time champion".

Since then, Barcelona has been given the title of "Cosmos Team".

In fact, Descartes' words only express his determination and belief, even he himself does not think that Arsenal can win all the titles, you have to listen to his words, "our goal is every title", not "we will win every title", there will always be some gap between the goal and the facts.

But the media, of course, ignored the difference, and the next day, there was a myriad of ridicule and disparagement in all the news media:

"Aiming for a six-crown victory? Arsenal's new vice-president has been carried away by the victory! ”

"Descartes said in his press conference that Arsenal's goal this season is to win the six-time title?"

"Arrogance! Arsenal have been hallucinating because of successive seasons of failure, they want to create an unprecedented six crowns, they are crazy! ”

"The rookie was so inflated after taking the throne that Descartes thought Arsenal could win all the titles?"

"Manchester United laughed: if you want to surpass the treble, let's step on us first!"

……

The media was full of post-match talk about Descartes, and with the exception of Arsenal's local newspapers, few were optimistic about their performance this season, with the media overwhelmingly singing about them.

Although the media has just reassessed Arsenal's strength after two consecutive big wins, Descartes' satellites are a bit too big, and the media will not take the opportunity to fall into the ground at this time, and when?

Even within Arsenal, there was disagreement over Descartes' statement.

Arsene Wenger was the first to talk to Descartes.

"Deska, I know you're ambitious, but you shouldn't be so adamant in front of the media, you know, because then we're going to be targeted by other teams, and that's going to make it more difficult for our game." Arsene Wenger is accustomed to being cautious and low-key, and his confidence has been shaken by three consecutive seasons of failure, and although he agrees with Descartes' goals, he also believes that this will attract a lot of unnecessary enemies for Arsenal and put the team in a relatively disadvantageous position, so he can't help but talk to Descartes.

But Descartes' answer was very tough: "Mr. Wenger, I think it is more important to let the team have a clear goal than to hide in the shadows and secretly forbearance, Arsenal is a great club, a great club should have a great goal, for this great goal, we don't need to be afraid of any enemy!" ”

"Uh......" Wenger was almost speechless by his words, no manager would blame a subordinate with such ambitions, right? But to make Wenger, who was accustomed to being low-key, suddenly accept such a flamboyant way, Wenger really couldn't turn the corner, so he had to wave his hand helplessly and let Descartes leave first.

Looking at Descartes' straight back when he turned to leave, Wenger suddenly showed a relieved smile after a moment of distraction, he only tried his best to recruit Descartes because he liked Descartes' skills and fighting spirit, but it was not until today that he suddenly understood that what he was recruiting was not as simple as "the next Bergkamp".

"Everyone"? Perhaps, he will be the beginning of a legend for Arsenal. (To be continued......)
