The aftermath of this defeat did not fade so quickly, and when Arsenal had dreamed of a treble four days ago and were battling top giants such as Manchester United and Barcelona, just four days later, the treble was gone, and Descartes' "every" at the start of the season now sounds more like a sarcasm.

What is each? Runner-up?

Two days later, there is an FA Cup final, if Arsenal overturns in the gutter again and loses to the mid-tier team Everton, it will really become the laughing stock of the world, the dignified treble, was beaten into the king of Sanya in seven days, the ups and downs in the world, is there anything faster and more exciting than this?

In the post-match press conference, Arsene Wenger's face was not good-looking, even a little weak, from start to finish, it was a complete defeat, his Arsenal did not show any competitiveness, although his players made some efforts on the pitch, but they were quickly suppressed by Pep Guardiola's adjustment and Barcelona's overall quality.

From this point of view, Wenger, who has been mixed in the rivers and lakes for decades, is equivalent to defeating the new Ding Pep Guardiola in the coaching world at the tactical level.

This kind of blow is definitely a heavy blow for Wenger, who has a high opinion of himself, and the two teams, who are also known for their flamboyant attacks, met in a narrow way, but the result was that his men and horses were crushed by their opponents, and any spectator who watched the game could easily tell that Arsenal were completely powerless on the pitch.

This undoubtedly made Wenger's football philosophy that lasted for more than ten years be shattered in an instant, and his youthful line. His potential line, his possession tactics, everything, all paled in the face of this defeat, and if the loss of the league title could be seen as an impact on the team's fluctuations in the early part of the season, then this game completely scattered Arsenal's pride and self-esteem.

Their midfield, the technical midfield they are proud of in the Premier League, is a "luxury midfield" made up of stars such as Cesc Fabregas, Denilson, Rosicky, Theo Walcott, Nasri, etc., in front of Barcelona's three-midfield three-striker tactics. There was no resistance. From the back waist line to the front waist line, in every position of the confrontation, Arsenal is fully at the bottom.

Cesc Fabregas, who was supposed to return to Barcelona, suddenly lost his ability to organize and dispatch under Xavi's defense. Even the function of being a defensive barrier is not complete. Compared to the old Harvey. He appears to have lost his claim completely.

And Denilson, who was gradually corrected this season, was nowhere to be seen throughout the game, and he served as the team's defensive midfielder. But when defending, Barcelona only had 3 midfielders from beginning to end, but it was these three people who made him dizzy, not only did he not play the ability to attack in tandem, but even the defense seemed flawed.

Walcott, the "Little Tiger" who had high hopes, almost never made any beneficial contribution to the team's attack except for burying his head in his head, and he also missed a once-in-a-lifetime one-time opportunity, you know, that counterattack may be Arsenal's only chance in the whole game, if that goal is scored, they may still have the possibility of dragging the game into a penalty shootout.

As for the other full-back Nasri, his heart seems to have moved to Manchester City one step ahead of schedule with the dust on the transfer offer, and he was the easiest to be marked in the entire Arsenal team in this game, but his invincible little skills in the Premier League were completely out of order in front of Spanish defenders such as Puyol and Pique, and his breakthrough success rate was less than 40% throughout the game, which was a complete disaster.

The biggest highlight of the whole game Arsenal is Descartes's two positions, one to Pique and others, one to swap places with Walcott, only two slight changes, but forced Barcelona to take two big steps back, if it weren't for the teammates behind him to play, Guardiola's adjustment is very timely, it is difficult to say whether this game will be one-sided.

It's a pity that although Descartes is good, there is only one, Wenger can't expect him to be a father and a mother at the same time, just like Phil Jackson can't expect Jordan to shoot and grab rebounds and assists, only God can do everything, not mortals.

Arsene Wenger now has other questions to consider, such as what kind of changes should be made to the squad at the end of the season.

Nasri and Cesc Fabregas have already been confirmed, Denilson has not been approved by Arsene Wenger after a season, and three of the big four midfielders have been removed, and Arsenal's midfield will definitely have to be overhauled this season.

Arsene Wenger, one of the candidates for the supplement, has already been decided, and that is about the replacement of Nasri.

In fact, in the winter transfer window, Wenger has already made up his mind to bring in their number one star Arshavin from Russia's Zenit, the Russian "Tsar" shined in the 08 European Championship, has already aroused the covetousness of major European giants, if it were not for his age, may not be able to adapt to the atmosphere of the five major leagues, maybe now it has become someone else's bag.

Wenger has actually negotiated a good price with Zenit in the first half of the season, but unfortunately it is coming, in order to fill the hole in the central defense line, he had to transfer the funds to buy Vermaelen, fortunately, the Belgian character is cheap and beautiful, flawlessly integrated into Arsenal's main lineup, and contributed a lot to the team's rapid progress in the second half of the season, and this business is finally not laughed at.

Now that it is the end of the season, after selling Xiaofa, Nasri and others, Wenger's transfer budget will not be lost to any big club, and then restarting the negotiations to buy Arshavin is simply the right time and place, and there is no hindrance.

However, an Arshavin can't make up for the lack of the team's midfield, the departure of Xiaofa has always been a heart disease for Wenger, although in this important final, Xiaofa was almost beaten into a sieve by Xavi, but from Barcelona's willingness to spend 40 million euros to redeem him, you know that people all over the world understand his potential, such a player. It's hard to find a suitable replacement.

Unless, pirlo can be poached from Milan or Xavi from Barcelona.

However, this is obviously impossible, Wenger combed through the information in his mind, but could not find a suitable replacement for Xiaofa, and finally he could only sigh helplessly and turn his attention back to the press conference.

Taking advantage of Wenger's time in a daze just now, the reporters in the venue have already asked Guardiola all over again, as a fledgling rookie, Guardiola has achieved the "treble" in his first year in office, and looks at the current posture. The Spanish Super Cup can't escape the palm of their hands either. If you add in the UEFA Super Cup (formerly known as the Toyota Cup) and the Club World Cup after the start of next season, wouldn't it be possible for Barcelona to create an epic legend of "six crowns"?

At this time, the defeat of Wenger and Arsenal has long been ignored by reporters, and the loser has nothing to dig up except to vomit bitterness, and the winner is entitled to all the lights. Therefore, when Wenger sat in a daze, no one came to disturb him. And when he was ready to be interviewed. There are only a few minutes left until the end of the interview.

Fortunately, in the end, there were still two or three kittens who knew how to care about the professor's feelings, or they were ready to show the glory of the victor from the other side, so they finally asked Wenger a few questions. However, most of them are summaries and perceptions of failure, and in general, it is for Wenger to try the painful memories again, so that they can have more text to add to the page.

Arsene Wenger actually hated this kind of behavior, but his temper was different from that of Ferguson, and he rarely walked away, so although he was almost bleeding from pain, he answered the reporters' questions with a blushing face.

But when a reporter turned the finger at Descartes, who was with Arsene Wenger at the press conference, the press conference suddenly morphed from a choir of praise to a battlefield, and the atmosphere suddenly rose to the level of alert.

"May I ask you, Mr. Descartes, you said at the beginning of the season that you were going to win all the championships, and now that your team has lost two titles, will you be ashamed of what you said before?" The journalist, who wore the logo of Le Monde Sport, was clearly from the mouthpiece newspaper in Barcelona, and his expression was triumphant, with a joking look of beating the water dogs.

In fact, from the end of the game to the press conference, Descartes has been in a very bad mood, losing the game is of course very uncomfortable, and losing the game one after another is even more uncomfortable, but the most uncomfortable thing is to lose the game one after another to determine the championship.

World football is not without the king of Sanya, Ballack and Bayer Leverkusen have been wearing this hat for a long time, but no one knows, it is in order to wash away this humiliating hat that Ballack still decided to go abroad to work hard in the most dangerous stage of his career, a star who decided to make a living abroad when he was nearly 30 years old, how much pressure he was on his back is obvious, but if people don't always take out the hat of Sanya King to stimulate him, with Ballack's status, why take such a big risk?

Although Descartes has not yet won the title of King of Sanya, many media have taken this matter as a hype gimmick, and after losing the league and the Champions League one after another, it seems that all people's confidence in Arsenal has disappeared overnight, and even teams like FA Cup opponent Everton have begun to worry about whether Arsenal can win it.

This is undoubtedly a blatant contempt for Arsenal, who seem to have forgotten that just four days ago, they were desperately touting the battle of the century for the "Treble" vs. the "Quadruple", and trumpeting that whoever wins the game is the best team in the world, but in the blink of an eye, Barcelona rose to the skies and Arsenal were trampled into hell.

This is the real world, this is the brutal competitive sport.

Descartes understood the truth that the winner is king, and the loser is the loser, but the Barcelona journalist was clearly here to slap him in the face, and his words put himself in the position of a "judge", declaring that Descartes should feel guilty and apologize for his "big words".

But Descartes didn't buy his account at all, and he slapped him in the face when he lost, which is already too much of a deception, not to mention that even Guardiola didn't speak, why should you, a little sports newspaper reporter, make me feel guilty?

The fire that had been pent up for many days exploded in an instant, and Descartes snorted heavily. said unceremoniously to the reporter: "You'd better not talk nonsense, I said before that Arsenal will fight for every title, but I didn't say that we will definitely win every title, you are a person who eats by mouth, and you must be responsible for your words and deeds." ”

However, this reporter is not a good thing to mess with, he is the editor-in-chief of the football column of "World Sports" Alvarez, this important Champions League final, as the mouthpiece of Barcelona, he personally came forward to advocate for Barcelona, and saw the team win. He was glad in his heart. At the same time, he was also going to tease Barcelona's opponent Arsenal, so he asked Descartes such an ironic question, but he didn't expect Descartes to have a bad attitude and a tough tone. Immediately annoyed him. So he immediately replied in a loud voice, "What." Are you scared? Didn't you swear so much in the advertisement before, why didn't you admit it when you lost? Are you afraid of losing face, so you don't dare to admit what you said? ”

The ad Alvarez was referring to was Nike's sneaker ad for Descartes. Previously, Descartes' handsome face and the cool line "each" detonated the enthusiasm of most trend-seeking youth, so that the ad was quickly promoted in Europe, and at the same time, Nike's sneaker sales were pushed to a new high.

But unexpectedly, Alvarez used this advertisement to squeeze Descartes. Everyone knows that advertising and what Descartes said should not be confused at all, but when Descartes said this "each", he did not underestimate the pride of the heroes of the world, which also made many media who supported other teams feel unhappy, not to mention that they all know Alvarez's thoughts, this guy simply wants to use this to stimulate Descartes to be angry, and then make this matter bigger, and finally cause a hot news effect.

Journalists are definitely the most fanning people, and after understanding Alvarez's thoughts, how can they not follow suit? Several of these reporters even gave Descartes a look of contempt, as if to mock him for daring to speak up and admit it, as if he was a coward.

At this time, Descartes's emotions were actually out of control, but Wenger, who was sitting next to him, was thinking about the problems after the team, and he didn't notice the dispute in the venue at all, and Guardiola next to him would not be kind enough to worry that he didn't want to be tricked, so Descartes suddenly slapped the table, stood up angrily and roared at Alvarez: "Go to Nima's champion, we have come to the end on three fronts, why don't you come to report, don't think I don't know what you want to do, you Barcelona dog, I will never give any more interviews to you! ”

After saying that, Descartes dropped his chair, turned his head and walked out of the press conference, leaving only reporters from major news newspapers caught off guard.

The scene of Descartes' fury was quickly recorded by reporters, and then spread to the world, especially the part where he pointed at Alvarez and scolded angrily, which was recorded by many cameras and put on major news and online videos for hype.

For such behavior, pro-Arsenal fans and media naturally felt greatly relieved, and they have issued declarations of support on major forums and behind videos, but after all, compared with the fan media around the world, such a crowd is only a minority, and more people feel that Descartes is simply ungraceful to do this, and he is completely a little gangster who can't afford to lose.

As a result, two completely different attitudes have emerged on the Internet and in the media, some people think that Descartes is a true temperament and dares to say and do, while the reporter of "World Sports" has sinister intentions and deserves to go to eighteen layers of hell; But others think that Descartes can't afford to lose, and loses his temper after losing, this kind of player, no matter how good his skills are, but his virtue is not good, and he is not worthy of being an idol of teenagers at all.

Both views were supported, and a war of insults began to emerge in both the media and on the Internet, and this trend spread so quickly that in less than two days, even as far away as Africa and North America, audiences who supported both sides of the arguments began to scold.

But in any case, the impact of this incident is definitely very unfavorable to Descartes, first of all, his gaffe has left a bad impression on the majority of fans after being exaggerated by the media, and those reporters have even taken out the news such as digging Ronaldo's "corner" and "abandoning childhood sweethearts" after marrying a new love, and for a while, Descartes has completely become a negative example of football, an unruly and morally corrupt bastard, jumped on paper.

These are not the worst, the worst is about the World Footballer of the Year awards. Originally, Descartes was ahead of Messi before the Champions League final, although Arsenal lost the league title, but Descartes's previous votes have been at the top of the list, but as soon as this news came out, Descartes's reputation immediately stinked, and his support rate was also opened by Messi overnight.

It's not just the World Footballer of the Year. There are also media reports. Descartes is even likely to lose the title of European Footballer of the Year, who was already unsuspenseful, when the video of him angrily scolding reporters was broadcast, the European Footballer of the Year, which was originally voted for by well-known media people, suddenly had a twist and turn, and it is reported that many reporters have voted for Ronaldo who originally planned to vote for Descartes. to resist his abuse and insults to reporters at the press conference.

In the face of this tremendous pressure. Even UEFA has to step in. They have since announced UEFA's punishment for Descartes' abuse of journalists, who will be banned for one round in European competitions and fined 20,000 euros personally. Arsenal were fined 50,000 euros and given a warning to Arsenal FC.

The Arsenal club only felt extremely wronged, but Descartes was their own star, and they had to withstand the huge pressure from the media and the press, on the one hand, they persuaded Descartes to come out quickly to apologize, and on the other hand, they also announced the club's decision to accept UEFA's punishment, and at the same time criticized and educated the club's players.

But this time Descartes behaved very toughly, in fact, since Ann Jieli lost contact with him, he has always had a fire in his heart, nowhere to vent, and then lost two championships in a row, this fire is about to burn him crazy, the Catalan journalist Alvarez is just the fuse that ignited his fire, he has now lost his mind manically, he wants to scream and jump, and the world is the enemy, this mentality, is a sign of young immaturity, but it is also the stage that every rebellious teenager must go through.

This condition, let's call him adolescent rebellious syndrome, is a very common symptom, but some people have lighter hair, some people have heavier hair, and Descartes, although he showed maturity beyond his peers in his teenage years, does not mean that he can automatically avoid these problems.

Since the age of 16, he has come to London to work alone, although Diaby and others often pull him to "vent his anger", but how can the young man's heart be so easy to vent? After going through the Zhenma incident, the national team expulsion incident, the Moriel incident and other things, Descartes's problems have never been resolved, and Ann Jieli and her parents are far away in Italy, and they can't listen to his heart, so in fact, his symptoms have been piling up in his heart and have not been resolved in a timely manner.

Later, Henry put the team in his hands, and the pressure on him suddenly increased, competing with Cesc Fabregas for the core, leading the team to the ups and downs of the Premier League, these pressures will be difficult even for adults in their 30s, let alone a little guy who is not yet 20 years old?

All along, Descartes has been very strong, so that people can't peek into these pressures in his heart, and even Wenger has the illusion that he is a typical representative of youth and old age, but when successive failures come one after another, and the former childhood sweetheart lover ignores it, the pressure that has accumulated in Descartes' heart is completely released, making him a little hysterical.

Descartes ignored the club's persuasion to apologize publicly, and he had no intention of justifying all the rumors and vicious attacks from the outside world, and now he only wanted to find Angeli, reconcile with her, and then defeat all his opponents on the court and silence them.

At this time, even Wenger couldn't convince him, Descartes's eyes were full of coldness, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, until this moment, Wenger didn't understand how stubborn his disciple was, some people said that only paranoia can win honor, but in Wenger's opinion, being too paranoid is a bit out of line, not to mention that Descartes is now simply fighting against the whole world, how long can he hold out?

Losing the league championship and losing the Champions League, Descartes' heart was full of pain, but he also knew that the last FA Cup championship, he couldn't lose it again anyway, otherwise this would really confirm the disparagement of the media's "King of Sanya", and also made Arsenal really become the laughing stock of the world.

When he played Barcelona, he was distracted by his concern for Angeli, after all, the venue of that game was in Italy, and Ann Jieli was probably only a few hundred miles away, and it was certainly impossible to say that Descartes could devote himself to the game, and there was always a small figure shaking in his heart.

But after losing the Champions Cup, Descartes has been forced to go to Huashan and cannot win the FA Cup, he, Descartes, will become a thousand people, and has been ridiculed by major media around the world; And the Arsenal led by him is also likely to fall apart after this season, better teammates than Cesc Fabregas, not nothing, but Arsenal is basically impossible to buy, and the name of Sanya Wang will definitely discourage more excellent players, Arsenal is a giant, but a giant who can't win the championship, and a leader with such a bad reputation, how many good players are willing to come here?

So this FA Cup, in fact, is the redemption of Descartes, not only his personal redemption, but also the redemption of the Arsenal club, no one wants to bear the name of "King of Sanya", Leverkusen in addition to Ballack, there are more than 20 teammates who have won this "honor" with him, but to this day, who will remember who they are?

"We have no way back!" It was Descartes' final speech in the dressing room before the game: "I know, they are laughing at us, they are all over us, they are beating us, they are slandering us, they think we are finished, Arsenal is finished!" But no! I don't think so! I know we lost two important games, we lost the league title, we lost the European Championship, and they tried to make me lose the World Footballer of the Year title, lose the European Footballer of the Year title, but it didn't matter! They can take away my championship, they can slander my reputation, they can even take my life, but they can't take away my dignity, they can't extinguish my fiery heart! ”

"I'm not telling you this, not to make you sympathize with me, not to evade responsibility, I just want to know, have you been defeated by failure, have you lost confidence, have you given up on yourself, do you, do you dare to fight with me?"

"We are now standing at the door of honor and cowardice, we can choose to die in humiliation, or fight in glory, guys, we have nothing left to lose, this is our last chance, live, or die, let me see your answer!" (To be continued......)
