The loss against Hull City gave the media an opportunity to criticize Arsenal for a while, and it also caused the morale of the Arsenal team to repeat.

In fact, Arsenal have two major concerns this season, which are clear to everyone, one is Wenger's stubborn and rigid rotation policy, and the other is the team's weak backline.

The league has just started, and Arsenal's backline does not look too much of a problem for the time being, but Arsene Wenger's rotation has been sparse, and Arsenal have suffered two defeats in the first six rounds, which has caused the morale they had so hard to build up in the second half of last season to gradually fall, and the reason why Descartes went to talk to Wenger was because he sensed this shift within the team.

An army can be without excellent equipment, but it must not be without fighting spirit.

Descartes also knew that in order to reinvigorate the team's fighting spirit and morale, in addition to getting Arsene Wenger to change his rigid rotation policy, he also had to win, more victories, and only successive victories could lift the morale of the team and keep the team on a good momentum.

So for the next few games, he used all his strength.

On October 4, Arsenal defeated Black Cat Sunderland 3-1 away.

On October 18, Arsenal beat Everton 3-1 at home.

On October 26, Arsenal won 2-0 away at West Ham United.

On October 30, Arsenal drew 4-4 at home with Tottenham.

In these four games, Descartes contributed 5 goals and 4 assists, becoming Arsenal's biggest contributor, and all the media exclaimed: "Cristiano Ronaldo last October, Descartes this October!" ”

This was also mixed with two World Cup qualifiers for the national team, with Italy drawing 0-0 away at home to Bulgaria and 2-1 at home to Montenegro.

Descartes did not score in two international games, but he did have an assist, and it was in the second half of the game against Montenegro that he set up Toney for the game-winning goal.

Such a dazzling performance also allowed Descartes to finally win the Premier League's Player of the Month award and be named in the Premier League's October Team of the Year.

This was Descartes' first accolade since arriving in England, and he had never won the Match Medal at best, so it was a great encouragement and honour for him.

But when it came back, the media had something to say, because in Descartes' radiant October, Arsenal's other core Cesc Fabregas was relatively lacklustre, with only one goal and one assist in four games in October, and only played one game back to the Spanish national team, and was still used as a fake center forward by Aragonés.

This seems to confirm what the media has said about the incompatibility of Descartes and Cesc Fabregas, and once one of the two is brilliant, the other is bound to be dim.

Cesc Fabregas performed well in the first half of the season last season, leading the team to an unbeaten season for a while, and at that time Descartes was being riddled with scandals, with good and bad performances, and great ups and downs, of course, it cannot be compared with Xiaofa; However, in the second half of the season, after Descartes broke up with Gemma, he got rid of the scandal and regained his form, and then his performance gradually improved, but Cesc Fabregas fell silent again, and his bright moments on the field became less and less.

Descartes has started the season with 10 goals and six assists in the first 10 games, leading the scorers with one goal per game and second only to Tottenham's Luka Modric.

But on the other hand, Cesc Fabregas is gradually quiet, after the first ten rounds of the first two seasons, he will at least hand over the data of 4+5 goals and assists, but so far this season, the league has played ten rounds, and his data is still 2+3, almost half of the past.

Is it Descartes' problem, or Cesc Fabregas's problem, or the team's tactical problem?

The media is clearly discussing the topic of whether Arsenal's dual cores can coexist, but in fact, they are privately reminding Arsenal's opponents: these two guys have contradictions, you have to make good use of them, otherwise we will be blinded by our hard work, and it is not easy for us to find out so much data from rummaging through the cabinets!

Why are the media so enthusiastic?

Because in the next round, Arsenal will face the old rival Manchester United.

When Descartes said "every one" after the game against Blackburn, he had actually pushed Arsenal to the opposite side of most of the media, every team in the Premier League has the luxury of winning the title, but no team will promote it in such a high-profile way, as strong as Manchester United is just a soft voice in the media to say: "Our goal this season is of course the title, Manchester United will always be full of desire for the title." But they would not dare to say loudly in front of all the media: "Our goal this season is to win all the championships, you all go eat!" ”

This is simply pulling hatred for yourself, and the strongest group taunting skill is nothing more than that.

And Descartes dared to say loudly at the press conference: Champion? Every single one! How can such a flamboyant gesture not arouse the envy of other media, and how can it not make the other 19 Premier League teams hold grudges?

It can be said that in English football this season, except for Arsenal's well-connected media, all other teams and media are Arsenal's enemies, and they wish Arsenal would lose face if Arsenal lost to the end.

Hence this strange phenomenon: before the weekly Arsenal game, there are countless media outlets who give advice to their opponents, telling their opponents what to do and how you need to beat Arsenal, as if it were not those teams playing against Arsenal, but their indignant media.

Unfortunately, the media never imagined that the more they suppressed Arsenal, the more they hated Descartes, but the more famous Descartes became, the more opportunities they had to appear in the newspaper headlines. As the media reports on Descartes more and more, more and more people like this "arrogant" Italian boy, especially when he was rejected by Milan and other giants due to physical illness when he was young, and then became an Italian superstar through his own efforts.

Last year's "competition for women" with Cristiano Ronaldo made Descartes an immoral "third party" in the eyes of many people, but this year, the wind suddenly changed, and Descartes became synonymous with tenacity and self-confidence, his declaration of champions became a sign of self-confidence, and his unique experience became an inspirational type.

Now the media who cursed Descartes were all dumbfounded, why did others scold more and more stinky, but this guy was scolded more and more people liked it? Could it be that the world has gone mad, and we middle-aged uncles are out of place?

Amid a growing tide of public opinion in Descartes' favour, Descartes and his friends ushered in a warm-up match ahead of the big game against Manchester United, where they faced Stoke City, who had won just two games so far this season.

There weren't many articles in the media mocking Arsenal and Descartes before this game, because reporters thought that Stoke City could not be Arsenal's opponent at all, and Descartes seemed to have a tendency to become more and more scolding, and they were too lazy to waste saliva now, just waiting until the game against Manchester United started, and then let Arsenal see how good they were.

However, this game that no one is optimistic about gave the media a great surprise, at the Britannia Stadium, the home stadium of Stoke City, the potters actually beat Arsenal 2:1, so that the Gunners, who had just recovered a little morale, suffered another heavy blow, it was simply embarrassing.

Arsenal's failure in this game is not for no reason, after Descartes raised questions about Wenger's rotation, Wenger has been thinking about this problem since then, in recent games, because of a succession of strong opponents, so he has not made changes for the time being, until the game with Stoke City, Wenger also has the same opinion as the media, thinking that this opponent is not worth paying special attention to, so he took action to adjust the team's lineup.

In this game, Cesc Fabregas directly got the opportunity to rest, Wilshere replaced him as a striker, Walcott, Vela and other youngsters all started, and Arsenal seemed to be about to stage a "youth storm".

It's a pity that the potters' sticks made this storm stillborn before it blew up, and the professor, who failed to grasp the essence of the rotation, made too drastic changes to the lineup, and as a result, Arsenal was stunned by two blows in the first half, although Descartes tried his best to pull one back in the second half, but unfortunately his personal ability could not be returned after all, and Arsenal still capsized in the gutter in this game that should have been won.

We don't need to go into how bad the media will be when we lose this unexpected game, but the key lies in the atmosphere within the team and Descartes' mood on the matter.

Arsenal's performance this season is really very strange, the team always suddenly loses one game inexplicably when it is just on the right path, and then gets up from the mud puddle again and continues to stagger, but just about to go on the right path and loses another game, which directly makes the atmosphere of the whole team become tense and loose, and the morale of the players has become high and low.

Even Arsene Wenger couldn't explain the problem, and Arsenal's players were even more at a loss.

Descartes was in the middle of it, even he didn't know why this happened, obviously the team's previous performance was not bad, and even in the last game, they fell behind 3 times and equalized 3 times, and drew 4:4 with Tottenham, the team's fighting spirit and morale have recovered a lot, but why does the team always drop the chain at critical moments?

Losing the game against Stoke City, all the team-mates sank their faces, because this time no one knows who is to blame for these failures, is Wenger to blame? He's given those fringe players a chance and everybody gets playing time, which should have been a good thing, a good change for the professor and the team, so why blame him?

But is it to blame the players who came off the bench? Wilshere is 16, Vela is 18, and Walcourt is only 19 years old despite having been a regular for a season, so you can't expect a player of that age to take the lead.

So in the end, I have to blame the team's team-building policy and God's tricks?

Descartes doesn't think so, he thinks that the team's problems must be solved, otherwise when they pile up and explode together at the end of the season, they will face another collapse, Arsenal have been collapsing for two seasons, and if this season continues, even his own confidence will be shaken.

So how do you solve this problem?

Descartes believed that the problem must first be found in order to find a way to solve it, but he could not find the problem himself, and Wenger could not find the problem, so there was only one way.
